The sea plays a huge part in living or holidaying in Cornwall, so we take a look at two iconic, life-saving aspects of Cornish life: the new Lizard Lifeboat Station and our cover feature about lighthouses. Visit the Lizard lighthouse or plan a walk round a lighthouse: Godrevy maybe, or take two ferries from Falmouth to walk round St Anthony’s Head. And… for us here at Cornwall Living, as we approach our 50th issue, we are hugely proud to have become part of the Leven Media Group. It’s all part of the ongoing growth of the organisation and our ability to support more local businesses. I talk to the charismatic Right Reverend Tim Thornton, better known as just Bishop Tim. Foodie is back again, this time featuring the delightful chef Jude Kereama and his wife Jane, from Kota and Kota Kai in Porthleven. We review Prawn on the Lawn in Padstow and The Brig in Falmouth, along with all the usual recipes and gourmet gossip. There are plenty of wonderful properties to buy, ideas for holidays or days out, health and ﬁnancial advice; as well as home improvements, design, and some fabulous clothes! And this is the time of year to enroll on a course for September, whether it’s to learn a new skill, have fun or enhance your career; Truro & Penwith College have plenty on offer. We have their part-time course guide to tempt you between pages 66 and 67. Hopefully you will be reading this outside in the sun with a glass of something chilled. Enjoy!

Business booming at the Heartlands Red River Grill

Listed buildings: what you need to know

After a decision 12 months ago to open the Red River Café at Heartlands on a Friday and Saturday evening, the Red River Grill was conceived. Serving great quality, locally sourced meals at affordable prices, the Grill, located in the historic Grade II listed Carpenters’ Workshop, provides a historically unique and atmospheric location for dining, whatever the occasion. A year after opening, the establishment continues to go from strength to strength, with a mass of positive feedback regarding the high quality of food prepared by talented chefs Tim and Tom. In years to come, as momentum continues to build, the Grill looks forward to opening more days of the week and becoming a real focal point to the growing community. Congratulations! 01209 721200 www.heartlandscornwall.com/red-river-cafe

When owners of listed buildings wish to carry out works such as internal alterations, an extension or substantial repairs triggering a requirement for a listed building application for approval to carry out the work, the local authority will normally require the preparation and submission of a Heritage Appraisal.

Conservation, can provide either a one-off document or as part of a package of professional services to assist listed building owners with their projects. For a free initial discussion, contact Andrew on 01326 376000 or visit www.courtdesign.co.uk

The purpose of this document is to chart the development and changes to the property so that the conservation oﬃcer can assess to what extent the application proposal will impact on the character and historic materials of the building. The value of the document is therefore of paramount importance and it is sensible carry out the research considering your proposals to ensure they are appropriate.

Preparing for the future As the HMRC confirms that, in the last year, the government has benefited from Inheritance Tax (IHT) to the tune of £4.6 billion, St. James’s Place Wealth Management Divisional Director Tony Müdd points out that: “At the heart of this problem remains the simple fact that IHT is a voluntary tax. The Treasury relies on inertia, ignorance and people’s reluctance to confront the issue.” The result: a record boom in revenue generated last year, money which could otherwise stay in the family and be used to support future generations. In fact, by 2020/21, IHT receipts are set to rise to £5.6 billion a year, according to the Office for Budget Responsibility in March. This is a timely reminder of the need for good estate planning. With this in mind, Associate Partner of St. James’s Place Thomas Sopp can help guide you in creating and implementing a highly effective tax-minimisation strategy, emphasising the reduction of your estate’s liability to IHT which could otherwise significantly jeopardise your prosperity. For further information, contact Thomas Sopp, Associate Partner of St. James’s Place Wealth Management. 07900 826242 Thomas.Sopp@sjpp.co.uk www.thomassoppwm.co.uk The Partner represents only St. James's Place Wealth Management plc (which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority) for the purpose of advising solely on the Group's wealth management products and services, more details of which are set out on the Group's website www.sjp.co.uk/products. The 'St. James's Place Partnership' and the titles 'Partner' and 'Partner Practice' are marketing terms used to describe St. James's Place representatives.

Cornwall Hospice Care’s summer fun Families are at the heart of Cornwall Hospice Care, as Tamsin Thomas explains. “We provide specialist care for patients and we extend that support to their loved ones. But we also look to families to help us fund the care so those who need us don’t have to pay.” This July, Cornwall Hospice Care is putting the fun in to fundraising and the team would like to invite you along too. Are you ‘Tuff Enuff’ to tackle the obstacle course challenge and become one of the toughest pirates? The Pirate Family Tuff Run takes place in Falmouth on Sunday 24th July, starting at the Moor at 2pm. It’s part of the town’s ZestiFAL week, so growl like a pirate and raise funds for Cornwall Hospice Care. Also taking place on 24th July is Probus Day, featuring the ex-British Olympic Fencing Team, the Cornish Bards, and a performance of the iconic Mousehole Cat. There’ll also be a drive through of classic cars and steam vehicles and live music after 5pm.

Coastal I C O N S Standing strong against all that nature has to throw at them, yet strangely romantic and evocative… for many of us lighthouses have it all!

ornwall has the greatest concentration of lighthouses to be found anywhere; not just simple beacons and harbour lights, but ones that are celebrated worldwide as magniﬁcent examples of the lighthouse builders’ skills. Walk along the coast path and catch sight of a lighthouse perched out at sea or on some rocky headland and you can’t help but be amazed at how on earth anyone ever managed to build it there. Looking from the land, the coast of Cornwall is dotted with magniﬁcent beaches, beautiful bays and spectacular headlands; somewhere to explore, enjoy the sun and maybe picnic on a warm day. But from the sea, it’s a very different story. In the days of sail the weary mariner would see inhospitable beaches with vicious surf, bays waiting to trap him in an on-shore wind, and forbidding cliffs offering no hope of rescue if he was driven under them. And… just under the

words by:

sea, plenty of rocks and small islands ready to tear the bottom off his boat if he ventured too close. There have been nearly 1000 known wrecks around Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly plus countless unknown ones. With just a few rudimentary lighthouses and beacons about, it was the Victorians who really perfected the lighthouse builders’ art, especially around the Cornish coast. We can only stand and marvel at the bravery of the men who built them and then the lighthouse keepers who lived in them, generally four weeks on and four weeks off – but that would depend heavily on the weather. If the relief boat couldn’t reach them because of the poor conditions, then they had to stay… there are plenty of tales of men living on the lighthouse for 12 weeks or more! The life on a lighthouse was monotonous with watches 24/7, cleaning the light, maintenance, cooking, and so on, with the occasional burst of action and danger, rescuing crew whose

ships hit the rocks. It all adds to the wonder and majesty of a lighthouse. And they make for a wonderful destination; wherever you are in Cornwall it’s worth a trip out to see a lighthouse. The views will be spectacular, there is always a bit of the coast path to walk along and maybe a secluded beach to sit and ponder on; with a cosy pub or café for some wellearned food and drink. All lighthouses are privately owned by Trinity House and the public do not have an automatic right of access – lighthouses are not funded by taxes or rates but by Light Dues paid by ships entering and leaving ports. Some do open to the public and they all make a stunning backdrop for a photo! So, starting from the north coast and running right round the coast, including the Isles of Scilly, ending up opposite Plymouth, are the following lighthouses. It’s hard to pick favourites – but we have given a bit more information about some as a destination for a great walk or a visit.

Trevose Head Lighthouse Situated 4½ miles from Padstow and signposted from St Merryn. Like all the sites for our lighthouses, it’s spectacular with great coast path walking! Built in 1847 after lots of shipwrecks and many requests to Trinity House for a lighthouse. LIGHT: 1 white ﬂash every 7.5 seconds; 20-mile range FOG SIGNAL: 2 blasts every 30 seconds

Godrevy Lighthouse

LIGHT: Flashing white 1 second in every 10; 8-mile range FOG SIGNAL: none

Standing on Godrevy Island in St Ives Bay with stunning views across the bay to St Ives. Godrevy is well worth a visit. There’s a National Trust car park with walks along the coast path to take in the views and maybe spot a seal or two on the rocks below. And, huge expanses of gorgeous, sandy beaches to relax on; the area is very popular with surfers. And, there is a great café for drinks and delicious locally sourced food.

n Pendeen Lighthouse

Pendeen Lighthouse This lighthouse stands on the headland known as Pendeen Watch less than 2 miles from Pendeen village. On a clear dark night a keeper on watch in the lantern could just see the light from Trevose Head Lighthouse but only at low water. Apparently the earth’s curvature between the two places is just suﬃcient for the rising tide to then obscure it from view! The lighthouse is open to the public. LIGHT: 4 white ﬂashes every 15 seconds; 16-mile range FOG SIGNAL: 1 blast every 20 seconds

n Wolf Rock Lighthouse

It’s built on a small island about 1¼ miles from Land’s End, a major tourist attraction with car park, hotel, and cafes. When the lighthouse was manned the keepers’ families lived in the cottages on the cliff top. The wives used to send messages to their husbands in semaphore from the upstairs windows and they could send one in return by standing in front of the white lighthouse door. LIGHT: Every 10 seconds; 15-mile range FOG SIGNAL: 1 blast every 10 seconds

Our thanks go to Trinity House for all their help; the very useful little book ‘Cornwall’s Lighthouse Heritage’ by Michael Tarrant; and to the wonderful volunteers at the Lizard Lighthouse centre for their warmth, tall stories and all the fascinating facts!

This lighthouse is on a small island of the same name 2½ miles off St Mary’s. It has a commanding position on top of the island 180 feet above the sea. LIGHT: 1 white ﬂash every 10 seconds; 18-mile range FOG SIGNAL: 4 blasts every 60 seconds

Peninnis Head Lighthouse, Isles of Scilly This steel trestle tower lighthouse is on the southern end of St Mary’s. All of the islands on the Isles of Scilly are worth exploring, with stunning turquoise waters and white sandy beaches that could be straight out of the Caribbean. When Peninnis came into service the old St Agnes Lighthouse was closed and became a private home. LIGHT: 1 white ﬂash every 20 seconds FOG SIGNAL: none

Bishop Rock, Isles of Scilly Built on an isolated rock just big enough to hold it, this famous lighthouse is subject to the full force of the Atlantic storms, which have claimed so many wrecks on the Isles of Scilly. Again, this lighthouse is often spotted from the Scillonian. n Wolf Rock Lighthouse

Tater Du Lighthouse It was the tragic wreck of the Spanish ship Juan Ferrer in October 1963 with the loss of 11 lives that ﬁnally got the Tater Du Lighthouse built on this headland with the same name. This is a spectacular and rugged part of the coast path to walk. LIGHT: 3 white ﬂashes every 15 seconds; 23-mile range FOG SIGNAL: 2 blasts every 30 seconds

Lizard Lighthouse Like Godrevy, Land’s End and St Anthony’s this is a great destination for a day out. The coast path is relatively easy if a little hilly and there is a lovely short walk around the Lizard Point, which passes the lighthouse and Housel Bay; the new lifeboat station and the wireless station. Look out for Cornish choughs along the path to Housel Bay – distinguishable from their bright red beaks and legs.

St Anthony’s Head Lighthouse Another great day out: for a walk, to slow down and travel by ferry; two ferries! Park in Falmouth and take the ferry across to St Mawes then the even smaller little ferry across to Place. From there take the coast path up around St Anthony’s Head with its spectacular views across Falmouth Bay and out to sea, plenty of sailing and boats toing and froing; look out for seals, porpoises and dolphins. Lunch in St Mawes ﬁrst – or on the way back - for even more stunning views. The lighthouse marks the entrance to Falmouth Harbour.

This is the ﬁfth version of the lighthouse, which lies off the Cornish coast 8 miles from Rame Head. Not one that is easily seen from land; but worthy of a mention nonetheless. LIGHT: 2 white ﬂashes every 10 seconds; 17-mile range FOG SIGNAL: 1 blast every 30 seconds.

So, there you are. Go take a look at one of our iconic and life saving lighthouses. Still as vital today as they ever were, to anyone on the sea; a wonderful sight for those of us on land. I defy anyone to stand on the harbour in Falmouth or out on the coast somewhere on a misty evening; and not be moved by the sight of the ﬂash of brightness from the lighthouse and the mournful sound of the foghorn.

FOR MORE INFORMAWTION

As our cover feature celebrates the romantic, life saving power of lighthouses all over Cornwall, we’re offering you the chance to harness the power of light yourself with a 2KW solar storage battery.

A delightful period cottage with a detached studio annex and building plot.

INFORMATION Period (circa mid 19th century) detached cottage with countryside views Four bedrooms Beneﬁts from UPVC double glazing throughout Generous garden separate studio annex Planning permission for a further dwelling near to the coast and beaches

t’s only once in a blue moon that a property with plenty of space, income potential, charm, character and a building plot pops up. Situated in the highly sought after Godolphin Cross – a charming rural village with a wonderful community spirit and its own school – Bluebell Cottage presents a special and unique opportunity. From Godolphin Cross, the ancient market town of Helston and the picturesque Porthleven are each within a 15-minute drive, as is the coast lined with beaches and coves and with spectacular views across Mount’s Bay. Close by is the atmospheric Godolphin House, a National Trust estate set in magnificent gardens and with an intriguing history. The cottage itself is immaculately and tastefully presented throughout. The granite entrance porch opens into a hallway with wooden flooring, turning staircase and doorways to all rooms, including the sitting room with a lovely feature fireplace, beamed ceiling and view across the garden. The kitchen is a superb triple aspect space, with an inglenook fireplace, dining area and leads into the useful utility room with plenty of room for appliances. Upstairs are three bedrooms. The first is a dual aspect room; the windows have deep sills and are perfect for enjoying both the garden

and glorious surrounding countryside. The other two have window seats overlooking the garden. Cosy bedroom four is located via its own staircase from the inner lobby, from which the snug is also accessed, a tucked away room with views of rural farmland and beyond. The snug leads into the conservatory, which offers a sunny space to relax during the summer months and has a door opening out onto a tranquil patio. The spacious, third of an acre garden is secluded and south facing, with a profusion of ﬂowering shrubs, plants and trees. The detached studio annex has a canopied entrance, stable door, shower room and open-plan bedroom and living room: perfect for bed and breakfast, guests or a dependent relative. Excitingly, the property has also recently received planning permission for a further dwelling in the garden. To see the potential available, the agent quote, “it has to be seen to be fully appreciated”, truly is the case for the beautiful Bluebell Cottage!

g n i d l i Bu success

Luxury developer Acorn Blue celebrates ten years of success in Devon and Cornwall.

î BELOW Modern apartments with a stunning view at Porthtowan

corn Blue is an independent residential-led developer which for over ten years has created awardwinning residential schemes for the owner-occupier, second home owners and investors in prime locations throughout Devon and Cornwall while catering for the local community’s needs too. Promoting sensitive design through striking new architecture or the conversion of an existing building whilst meeting the needs of the local market, Acorn Blue has built and sold out 18 developments across the counties; from seven apartments overlooking Fistral Beach to 13 family homes in Salcombe, south Devon. Acorn Blue continues to set itself apart from the rest. Nicola Markham, Joint Managing Director at Acorn Blue, says: “Our ﬂexible bespoke approach gives us the ability to work with each site enabling us to make the most of its aspect and shape to build very well thought out properties.” By building high-quality niche developments, you’ll notice that none of Acorn’s properties are the same; regardless of size or price each home receives the same amount of attention to detail, resulting in numerous regional awards. Testament to Acorn Blue’s approach of ﬂexibility, design and understanding of the local market is One Lusty Glaze in Newquay. The former hotel was an opportunity not to be missed with its commanding position sitting above Lusty Glaze Beach offering views of Newquay Bay in one direction and

Watergate Bay in another. The development of 36 one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments and nine houses (six of which were sold to a Housing Association) was launched last September and within three months over 50% of the apartments were reserved. The site is to complete this month and based on current interest there will only be a handful of properties remaining for sale. The new homes have attracted a mix of buyers from ﬁrst time buyers (with some using the government’s Help-to-Buy scheme), downsizers, second homeowners and holiday let investors. Commenting on the local market, Nicola Markham says: “Devon and Cornwall probably have the most diverse market out of Acorn Property Group’s ﬁve regions, operating in high-value prime coastal areas together with inland housing for the owner-

occupier market. There is no typical buyer but there is a common theme in that many have cherished memories of Devon and Cornwall having spent holidays here and would now like to share and make new ones with the next generation – whether that is by relocating, retiring and downsizing, having a second home or investment holiday home.” Acorn Blue has some very exciting new projects in the pipeline across the south west, the most highly anticipated being The Dunes in the village of Perranporth; one of Cornwall’s surﬁng hotspots and home to the UK’s only bar on the beach and the renowned Watering Hole. The former hotel site overlooks Perranporth beach and its three miles of golden sand and the new development will offer 40 one, two, three and four-bedroom beachside properties along with a unique opportunity to let a restaurant with a large west-facing terrace

and open-plan layout to fit out as you wish. The land team at Acorn Blue is always keen to hear from landowners and agents who have land or buildings suitable for development; from greenfield and brownfield sites to sites with or without planning permission. The company seeks to make the most of each opportunity whether large or small and offer a number of potential purchase structures, including joint venture partnership, subject to planning purchase or outright purchase.

Love Cornwall Love your space with Homeshed Interior Design.

êBELOW The chic Scandanavian style table and chairs

î BELOW RIGHT Industrial inspired pendant lights – copper is still proving popular

hether it’s a cherished family home, holiday home or an investment rental business, when you own a property in Cornwall, you want to make it the best it can be. Living or holidaying in this beautiful county is inspiring; the colours and textures of Cornish landscapes translate beautifully onto walls, shelves, sofas and windows. If you’re looking to bring decorating ideas to life, the talented Homeshed design team are there to help you realise your property’s potential. Homeshed’s interior designer, Charlotte, has extensive experience working in Cornwall; she has her finger on the pulse of coast and country trends and a wealth of inspiration to hand at Homeshed. This family-run, Cornish lifestyle interiors store has an impressive selection of flooring, carpets, living, dining and bedroom furniture, accessories and soft furnishings – quite literally, everything under one roof. So, if you don’t know where to start with your project, you may just need a helping hand from Charlotte to piece together your ideas on colour schemes and soft furnishings. Alternatively, Homeshed can take it up a notch and create a full design specification for you, or, if you’re pushed for time, take on the project management entirely. Homeshed

offers a range of design packages, each tailored to your individual requirements.

Get inspired The ‘Get Inspired’ package begins with a free consultation either in-store or at your property. You’ll have a detailed discussion with Charlotte, enabling her to gain an understanding of what it is you would like to create in your space. From there, Charlotte will create concept boards showcasing the overall look and feel, including colours, finishes, fabrics, wallpapers and furniture. At this stage you can either purchase the concept boards and go ahead with the design yourself, or decide to ‘Get Creative’ or ‘Get It Done’.

ë INSET Blown glass pendant lights are this season’s must-have é ABOVE Vibrant ﬂoral patterns add a splash of colour

Get creative This package includes ‘Get Inspired’ as a stage, together with a detailed overview and a clear room-by-room schedule for all finishes, colours, fabrics, wallpapers, fittings and furniture. This is the schedule that your chosen tradespeople will be able to work from, ensuring that every aspect of your interior has a tight specification and allowing design ideas to come to life.

Get it done If you’re living or working out of Cornwall then ‘Get It Done’ is the package for

you. With all the above plus full project management, Charlotte will look after the design implementation. From ordering products and liaising with your chosen contractors, to being on hand throughout the project, Charlotte will ensure the quality and overall design brief is met – on time and on budget. Homeshed can even organise the right tradespeople for the job. If you’re wondering how much this all costs, the answer is: not as much as you think. Your initial consultation is free and, because Homeshed has excellent relationships with its suppliers, costs can be kept in line with budget. Every property is different and the size of the project will inevitably dictate the cost; your proposal will take all these components into consideration, so there will be an easy to follow plan producing an end result of exactly what you want. To get the creative ball rolling, Charlotte has shared some of her favourite ideas, colours and styles, to inspire and keep us up to date with current design trends… Formal or informal dining areas are a timeless feature in the home, creating a space for family to get together over mealtimes. It doesn’t always have to be in a separate room, a beautifully designed dining space is just as special. Trending now is this Scandinavian, coastal style wooden table and chairs, with smooth and curved lines, available in plain wood or with a painted surface. An interest in soft coastal colours for bedrooms this year sees a move away from bright seaside hues and a move towards muted, gentle tones in both fabrics and wallpapers. When it comes to lighting up your home, the Homeshed team suggest swinging towards this season’s pendant lights. These

elegant fixtures look wonderful all over the house; they’re perfect for hanging over kitchen islands, dining tables, in living rooms and bedrooms. From metallic colours to soft pastels, chandeliers to blown glass. Copper is still proving very popular. Homeshed has a pendant for every room. This summer, why not bring the outdoors in with sea green glass and hanging ceramic or stone pots overflowing with succulents. Complement these with hints of French coral, fresh yellow and dusty grey.xxxxx

Advice

Reduce your mortgage Are you paying too much for your mortgage? We speak to the expert Matt Begley to find out more...

urrently more than one in six of all mortgage borrowers are paying their lenders’ standard variable rate (SVR) and paying above 3% interest on their mortgage. The average SVR is 4.82%, whilst a two-year fixed rate mortgage could be over 2% lower – so 1.9 million mortgage borrowers in the UK could be saving money every month on their mortgage! According to an HSBC report in November 2015, homeowners on an SVR mortgage are possibly paying £4,000 a year (£329 a month) more on average than if they fixed their mortgage. Therefore, and possibly irrespective of whenever the bank rate may start to rise, if you are paying your lender’s standard variable rate of interest, it could make sense for you to establish if they can take advantage of the mortgage deals presently on offer. Not sure if you could remortgage? “Due to the financial crisis and the tougher lending criteria that now exist due to recent regulatory changes, a sizeable number of people on SVRs may be mortgage prisoners”, says Matt. “In short, these are people who feel they are unable to move house or remortgage due to changes in their personal or financial circumstances since initially taking out the loan, such as lower earnings or divorce”, he explains. Sound familiar? If you think that you fall into this camp, it makes sense to

take professional advice, as Matt and the team may be able to identify a viable remortgaging option for you or consider alternative ways to raise the funds. With so many lenders in the market place with different lending criteria, being turned down by one lender doesn’t mean that you would be unsuccessful elsewhere. Additionally, the lenders themselves are continually amending their own interpretation of the rules, which may also work in your favour. Plus, the average UK house price has risen by almost 21% (around £34,000) over the last three years to about £197,000, which may work to your advantage and give you some wriggle room against the deal you previously took out.

Station

to station We drop by The Lizard Lifeboat Station to discover more about the inspiring work of the RNLI.

rriving at The Lizard Lifeboat Station is like stumbling upon a top-secret base from Thunderbirds – in every sense. We’re privileged to climb into a small metal cage hugging the sheer cliff face and slowly descend 50 metres or so, to reach the ultra-high-tech, waveshaped building, cleverly concealed in the natural rocky Kilcobben cove below. Entering the building does nothing to dampen this feeling. Taking centre stage is a 31-ton, £2.7 million, state-of-the-art vessel, flanked by a veranda set over three levels, with uniformed personnel occasionally scurrying into various side rooms. The station’s huge metal doors open wide onto the waves below, framing a matchless view across the Channel and Celtic Sea. The imposing, self-righting, all-weather Tamar Class lifeboat sits poised on a purpose-built pneumatic pivot, waiting for the signal; ready to slide down the slipway into the depths below. The station’s very existence, in this remote, tricky-to-access location, is a testament to human endeavour. From the fundraising, to the design and build, right through to its operation – almost everything about it represents a huge feat of engineering, from the large scale, down to the tiniest detail. We’re here on a sublime Tuesday evening to witness its launch for a routine training exercise. Lifeboat Operations Manager Ned Nuzum greets us warmly, introducing us to Coxswain, Andrew Putt; Chairman, Dr Chris Cuff, and resident photographer Geoff Squibb. As he shows us around, Chris speaks with pride of the station and crew. “The kit has to be right – no corner cutting”, he says. “If we’re sending crews out to sea, often in challenging conditions, we need to provide them with the best kit possible.” The new station is the latest in a long line to have operated out of The Lizard over the years. Lifeboats of the peninsula still hold the RNLI’s record for the largest number of people rescued in a single operation. In March 1907, Lifeboat crews from Cadgwith, Coverack, Porthleven and The Lizard rowed out for a staggering 16-hours straight to rescue 456 of the passengers and crew aboard

the liner SS Suevic, having foundered on the rocks, close to Lizard Point. Both Chris and Ned are keen to emphasise that they don’t operate in isolation, highlighting the wider role of the RNLI. It’s just one of 237 lifeboat stations across the UK, and the 15 across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, all working tirelessly to keep our shores safe. And then there are the 200 or more RNLI lifeguarded beaches too. Being a charity, the RNLI relies critically on donations and the generosity of others, with fundraising playing an integral role. Neighbouring station Penlee, for example, is currently carrying out an appeal for funds towards the building of a new lifeboat station, updating the facilities and creating a visitor centre to highlight Penlee’s rich heritage. You can help by visiting: www.rnli-penleelifeboat.org.uk/appeal While traditionally crews have been made up largely of ﬁshermen, these days the recruitment pool is surprisingly diverse, as Chris explains. “The RNLI is a ‘broad church’ organisation, encompassing members from all walks of life.” The flipside, however, is that new volunteers don’t necessarily have existing maritime experience to draw upon, necessitating intense training programmes and ﬁrst-class facilities. The Lizard’s Coxswain, Andrew Putt, who has been with the RNLI for 31 years, explains the qualities needed in volunteers: “Commitment without recognition; someone who’s keen to get up in the middle of the night to go to the aid of others.” It’s an inclusive spirit – whether man or woman,

young or old, provided you can meet the challenging physical and emotional demands, you can step aboard. The Lizard needs seven crew afloat and six shore crew, in order to successfully launch, drawing on a rotation of around 37 operational volunteers. It’s an incredible sight watching the boat slide down into the water, each crew member well-drilled in their respective roles. Naturally, keeping up competency is essential – crew have to complete at least one exercise per month to ensure the entire roster is fully skilled, regardless of who is called upon on any given day. But there are so many ways to make a difference, other than those at the sharp edge. As Ned emphasises, “If you want to volunteer in any capacity, whether boat crew, shore crew, boathouse guide and more, the opportunity is there to get involved.” Of course, there’s another, very simple way in which we can all help: stay smart, respect the water, avoid needlessly dangerous situations, swim only on lifeguarded beaches, and follow the RNLI’s safety tips on their website. Our visit to the station is a small reminder of the wonderful work carried out by the RNLI, the resolve of those involved, and how important it is for us all to get behind this indispensable national institution. Keep up the good work!

Green thinking

With the heating season all but behind us, what better time to consider upgrading or replacing your heating system?

Big savings!

Following the installation of his 8.5kW Mitsubishi Ecodan Air Source Heat Pump, GreenGen’s client now beneﬁts from the following: • £450 annual saving on heating bills • £1050 annual payment from the Renewable Heat Incentive (for 7 years)

hether your existing heating system is due to be replaced or you’re looking for a cleaner, more cost-effective way of heating your home, most homeowners are familiar with traditional solutions but aren’t aware of renewable technologies and the benefits they offer. This was certainly the case for GreenGenUK’s most recent recipient of an air source heat pump. The Porthleven-based customer was looking to replace their existing oil boiler, having grown frustrated with its running costs and performance. Having considering various solutions, the concept of an air source heat pump was put forward. Intrigued by the concept but with little knowledge on what to expect, the customer contacted the Helston-based company for more information. Following a free site survey, GreenGenUK provided a full breakdown of the installation, the costs and the potential benefits of their renewable heating installation. As the customer previously heated with oil, one of the more expensive fossil fuels, a significant energy saving could be made. In addition, thanks to GreenGen’s MCS accreditation, the installation would be eligible for a hefty incentive through the governments’ Renewable Heat Incentive scheme. They also learned that switching to air source heating would have numerous

other beneﬁts, not least enhanced living comfort and heat quality. In contrast to an oil system, the proposed air source heat pump would generate heat at lower temperatures for longer periods of time, leading to a more natural living environment with property temperatures kept constant instead of regular rise and falls. Furthermore, switching to a heat pump system removed the need for oil deliveries and eliminated the risk of running out of stocks. GreenGenUK took care of everything, handling the installation of the unit and the required upgrades to the wet heating system, along with assisting with all the paperwork. The completed project took little over a week and the customer was never without heating and hot water. The client has since gone on to advocate air source heating and GreenGenUK to a number of friends and neighbours. Considering replacing your heating system with a renewable alternative? GreenGenUK offers free advice, guidance, surveys and proposals to all customers in the south west considering switching their heating demand to a renewable alternative!

Raising the bar

We take a moment to appreciate the three new models available from the BMW 6 Series.

ê BELOW The elegant lines of the 6 Series Coupé

ver the admirer of the typically complex fusion of flare and top-ofits-class craftsmanship that fans of BMW have come to expect, it comes as no surprise that the brand has once more proved its worth, combining fanatical attention to detail with years of car manufacturing genius. In a motoring world where it’s becoming increasingly more difficult to get noticed, BMW has once

again pushed the boundaries of what it means to be a car. The brand’s show-stopping 6 Series uniquely combines modern dynamics and timeless elegance. Offering a stand-alone drive experience where performance and style are infused with intelligence and consistency, the 6 Series delivers a package that proves, yet again, that BMW is in a class of its own. Exuding elegance, exclusivity and character, as you sit in the cockpit of the new BMW 6 Series Gran Coupé you’re treated to a wealth of expertly selected materials, finely structured leather and ergonomically arranged displays. Exclusive equipment from BMW Individual helps make the vehicle absolutely unique and, thanks to the 4+1 seating concept, it offers space for five passengers to enjoy the full force of the award-winning, BMW TwinPower turbo engines. Behind the wheel, you’ll be wowed by the comprehensive camera and assistance

systems which, by providing additional support in all driving scenarios, allow for an unlimited driving experience in both spacious and comfortable surroundings. Whether your journey is a sprint or a marathon, the BMW 6 Series Convertible offers the utmost in comfort, dynamics and efficiency, due again in no small part to the TwinPower turbo engines. Equipment variants such as Design Pure Experience, Design Pure Excellence and the M sport models enable you to emphasise different facets of the car, however you wish. What’s more, BMW ConnectedDrive innovations, such as the Head-up display, Information Plus and Drive Assist Plus each keep life on the road running smoothly. And, of course, your own personal touch is key when it comes to the 6 Series, with sporty, elegant and extravagant wheel options available, including the multi-spoke style 616, 20-inch light alloy wheels. With a long bonnet, short overhangs and a roofline that extends all the way to the rear, the two-door, 6 Series Coupé is an irresistibly elegant sports car. As you might expect from a brand of such high calibre, the quality that this BMW promises on the exterior carries right through to the inside.

As you step in, you’re welcomed with bi-colour Nappa leather, subtle contrast stitching and top quality wooden trims that make the interior undeniably premium. What’s more, with three powerful, smoothrunning drivetrain variants from BMW EfficientDynamics to choose from, you can select the engine that best suits you. The 6 Series Coupé, even in this exclusive class of vehicle, sets a new benchmark, with impressive features making for a seamless drive that’s so relaxed, you might just forget you’re at the wheel. The unerring performance of the BMW 6 Series cars comes from the powerful eight-cylinder petrol engine in the BMW 650i as well as the inline six-cylinder petrol engine in the BMW 640i and diesel engine of the BMW 640d. To top it all off, BMW EfficientDynamics innovations such as direct petrol injection, optimum gear indicator and brake energy regeneration keep your fuel consumption to an all time low. So, with a history in car manufacturing as impressive as BMW’s, the 6 Series isn’t just another blue and white badge – it’s a statement. Take one of these three out for a test drive and you’ll soon realise that it’s not just a car; it’s a game changer.

A word from a genius… T

he Ocean Falmouth ethos is all about the customer experience, so when it comes to personnel the company is always on the lookout for the very best people to deliver an exceptional experience. An automotive background isn’t essential but what is, is someone who shares the same passion and enthusiasm for the people who walk into the showroom, as they do about the BMW brand. We catch up with Lee Chater, Product Genius and Showroom Supervisor at Ocean Falmouth, to find out what makes working for BMW so special. With a background in media, Lee spent his early working years in radio. It was testament to his dedication that he worked voluntarily at Atlantic Radio every Sunday until he was offered a permanent job there, initially on the Saturday morning show before moving on to co-present the prestigious Breakfast Show. “Radio had always been my love – since the age of eight I had always wanted to be part of the industry,” says Lee. However, a takeover by Heart Radio meant that the studios in Cornwall were closed and, although Lee remained working behind the scenes, it didn’t fulfil his love of talking and interacting with people.

So, in 2013 Lee took his first job with Ocean Falmouth. Lee explains: “Sadly, on this occasion I only stayed for seven months as the draw of radio pulled me back. This turned out to be the wrong decision and it wasn’t long before I was back in the BMW fold.” That was 18 months ago and Lee has never looked back. He is now responsible for the smooth-running of the new Ocean Falmouth BMW showroom as well as having expert knowledge of the range. “My role as a BMW Genius is to make the customer feel welcome, but not pressured, and to have an in-depth knowledge of the product. The training you receive from the BMW Academy is second to none,” says Lee. Classroom based learning includes lectures from experts who are flown in from Germany but the best part, in Lee’s opinion, is that you get to drive every car in the range on a private track. “Cleverly, you not only get to test drive the latest BMWs on track days but you are also provided with a selection of competitors’ cars so that you can compare the differences for yourself. It’s the attention to these little details that sets BMW apart from other marques,” adds Lee. Ocean Falmouth adopts the same attention to detail as Lee and his Genius colleagues have access to a full range of demonstrators to ensure they know their way around every inch of each car. “It has always been BMW for me,” says Lee, “I bought my first BMW from Ocean Falmouth all those years ago when I started in radio and have now come full circle!” When not at work Lee still drives his own BMW 4 Series Convertible, which he enjoys taking on roof-down road trips around Cornwall: “There’s nothing better than taking in the wonderful Cornish scenery from behind the wheel of a BMW, stopping off for lunch at one of Cornwall’s many fantastic foodie destinations.”

n Jude cooking at the Porthleven Food Festival

“I’m passionate about being in the kitchen… I just love cooking with fabulous ingredients”

A bit of heaven Fabulous flavours, delicious dishes, Mandy meets Jude Kereama, the award winning chef patron of Kota and Kota Kai.

ust about anyone living in Porthleven over the past ten years or so will know chef Jude Kereama and his wife Jane. First as owners of the hugely popular Smokehouse; as part of the small group who started and still continue to drive the success of the Porthleven Food and Music Festival with Jude’s famous ‘cook-off’ with Anthony Worral-Thompson. And… now as owners of award-winning Kota and Kota Kai, Kota being the ﬁrst in Porthleven to gain a Michelin Bib Gourmand. I met up with this delightful and unassuming couple at Kota Kai with its fabulous views out over the harbour; the kitchen was already buzzing, with some truly delicious smells and I had to drag Jude away from his beloved kitchen and team. “I know I can leave them to it,” he tells me with a grin: “But I just love being part of it all. It is stressful but we really do have fun!” Jude grew up in New Zealand, the youngest of ﬁve children. “My mother was Chinese-

Malay; she was a fabulous cook and a real inspiration to me.” Jude continues: “Back in the ‘70s you couldn’t get all the ingredients for proper Malay food, so she started cooking Western food with a Chinese-Malay twist – it’s still the foundation for most of what we cook today. Cooking was a big part of family life. I remember my siblings teaching me how to cook a roast chicken when I was seven!” he adds with another grin. But it was working in a kitchen whilst studying at university that Jude suddenly realised his future. “I just loved the camaraderie in the kitchen; the drama, the fun and the food. It was a real epiphany for me! I’m still just as passionate about food, its provenance and cooking, now as I was then, possibly more so!” He was offered an apprenticeship as a chef, and to the dismay of his parents – “My mum cried” – he left university and started cooking. After working for the top chef in New Zealand, Europe beckoned and he moved to London. It was

here that he met Jane; she was the manager of a nearby restaurant. Jude grins at Jane. “I didn’t stand a chance really, did I? Then I watched her working, sashaying between the tables, pouring wine, taking orders, a word for everyone, keeping things light and easy. That was another epiphany for me: I knew she was the one and that we would work together. It’s still the same today, the same easy charm, customers wanting her to stop and chat.”

Cornwall

Whenever they could they would zoom down to near Launceston to visit Jane’s mum, and the dream grew of moving to Cornwall to run their own restaurant. Then during one visit at a fateful Boxing Day party, they got talking to a “lovely couple” who told them about a little restaurant in Porthleven that might suit them. Jane positively beams as she explains, “It was all arranged at the party, this lovely man (Gage Williams) got on the phone to the owners in Porthleven and told them we would be down

Scallops

the next day to have a look! It was such a whirlwind.” Jude picks up the story. “We had no idea where Porthleven was. I remember it was cold and wet and misty, even the tide was out… but we both absolutely loved it! Jane was so excited but trying to act disinterested as we chatted to the owners.” That started their love affair with Porthleven. “It was everything we wanted, the people are so lovely, beautiful beaches, surf, and… great food, fantastic seafood, meat and produce with real provenance. It was a match made in heaven.” And now with Kota and Kota Kai, it’s continuing to work with local producers and ﬁshermen that Jane and Jude love. “I don’t want to feed anyone anything I wouldn’t feed Jane and Joe (their young son). Provenance is so important to me. Joe and I go foraging and he and I cook a lot at home.” Any time off is spent with the family and Jude tries to go for a run around Penrose whenever he gets an hour spare. And, they are very involved with

the local community, employing young people from the town; they have two apprentices working for them. Jude recently cooked for 900 at the local school to raise money for the playground. And, of course, Jude is taking part in a second Great British Menu. “I thought it would be easier the second time, but it was just as tough. The pressure of working amongst some of the UK’s best chefs is immense and then you have six cameras on you… in a strange kitchen… Oh, and you have to talk to the presenters! I absolutely loved it!” Then, with another huge grin he adds: “Right, time to get back to the kitchen!”

TREVALSA COURT’S BEST-KEPT SECRET – THE SUN DRENCHED TERRACE The south coast is gorgeous in the summer, and nowhere more so than Mevagissey’s Trevalsa Court, a true haven of tranquillity, perched on the clifftop above the golden, sandy beach below. After a morning exploring Mevagissey’s historic harbour, the sun-drenched terrace is an idyllic spot to relax with a refreshing drink and light bite. Here you can sample the fantastic fare, sitting amongst subtropical plants and looking out into the bay, where pods of dolphins have been spotted recently. Why not enjoy the terrace for lunch, afternoon tea, pre-dinner drinks or a moonlight nightcap? Trevalsa Court’s awardwinning, two AA Rosette restaurant, led by

Head Chef Adam Cawood serves a wide range of sumptuous dishes, focussed on local, seasonal produce and rich flavour. Whether you’re booked in for a stay at the boutique hotel or are simply passing through, you’d be silly not to flick through the menu and sample the fine food on offer. Go on, give it a go – it’s fast building a reputation as a foodie destination in itself! TREVALSA COURT School Hill, Mevagissey PL26 6TH 01726 842468 www.trevalsa-hotel.co.uk

AN UNFORGETTABLE SUNDAY LUNCH AT THE CORNWALL’S ELEPHANT BAR & BRASSERIE

HAYWOOD FARM If you have a passion for all things apple, Haywood Farm Cider is the tipple for you. Tom Bray has been making cider for 12 years now, using his hand built press and from apples grown in the 18 acres of colourful orchard he propagated and planted at his family farm. The Brays have farmed the area since 1919, but cider has been produced on the farm’s old granite press for around 300 years, quenching the thirst of families and labourers for centuries. Tom was inspired to revive this cider tradition, at ﬁrst as a creative venture with friends and then as a business so that everyone can enjoy the delicious produce from the Haywood press. There is a shop on the farm where cider can be tasted straight from the barrel, just as it’s meant to be, and the team regularly host Sunday afternoon live music in the Cider Barn. You can see where the magic begins with orchard tours, followed by a lazy barbeque or cheese washed down, of course, with plenty of cider. Haywood Farm Ciders have strength, body, bite and a proper appley ﬂavour. They are sold in pubs and farm shops across Cornwall and nationally through the website so that a good time can be had by all.

The Cornwall Hotel and Spa has much to offer in the way of hospitality but for us, what really stands out are the choices available on the Elephant Bar & Brasserie menu. For starters, the chef loves to forage for his ingredients, taking the term ‘locally sourced’ to a whole new level! What’s more, while the team at the Elephant Bar aren’t usually ones to blow their own trumpet, as the Sunday lunch menu is set to be relaunched, we’re sure they’re going to be making a big stomp. So, as more frequent sunny Sundays leave you wondering ‘what to do today’, we recommend getting down to The Cornwall, having a walk around their 43 acres of stunning park and woodland, before rounding off the week with a sumptuous Sunday lunch that’s sure not to disappoint.

A HEARTY HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOR THE RED RIVER GRILL How the time ﬂies – it seems only last week that we were heralding the arrival of the new Red River Grill, and already it’s now celebrating its ﬁrst birthday. This June the unique venue at Heartlands, a World Heritage site, in Pool, Redruth, marks its anniversary of delivering

delicious, freshly cooked dishes utilising Cornwall’s excellent produce. We catch up with Sean O’Neill, Chief Operating Oﬃcer of Heartlands, who looks back on the exciting journey so far. “It’s been a fantastic year”, he enthuses, “and people really seem to be warming to the grill. We introduced ‘kids eat for half price’ (between 5.15 – 6.45pm) a couple of months ago, which has been a great success. Our monthly tapas speciality evening is always popular.” So what’s the key to success? “Good honest food, in a truly unique and historically signiﬁcant setting, with plenty to explore at Heartlands for all the family”, says Sean. Heartlands is an inspiring 19-acre site that celebrates Cornwall’s mining heritage while providing a community space for future generations to enjoy. From the regular art exhibitions to the kids’ outdoor adventure playground, there’s something for everyone.

CHILL OUT FROM SUNRISE TO SUNSET AT PORTHMEOR’S ULTIMATE BEACH CAFÉ West Beach Cafe bar is nestled in the west end of Porthmeor beach in St Ives. Sunrise to sunset, it’s the idyllic location to simply sit back, relax and soak up the awe-inspiring panoramic views of the ocean, watching the surf roll in and the dolphins playing amongst the waves. The friendly team at West Beach invite you to join them for healthy option breakfasts or traditional breakfasts with a twist. Enjoy deli-style lunches with freshly-made quiches, salads, raw foods, sandwiches, juices, awardwinning breads and light bites served throughout the day. At suppertime, choose from the imaginative menu, which includes West’s famous artisan pizzas and Thai curries, with vegetarian and vegan options also available. Everything is made to order by the dynamic chefs and served by the fantastic and approachable staff. It doesn’t end there – West Beach also holds events, cinema nights, sunrise yoga and Pilates sessions, live music and much more.

WATERSIDE WONDERS AT COVERACK’S HARBOUR LIGHTS If you’re looking for quality fine dining in a wonderfully intimate atmosphere overlooking one of the rugged Lizard Peninsula’s stunning harbour villages then look no further. We’re always out to discover hidden gems, and we’ve found a fantastic one to add to the list. The Harbour Lights in Coverack ticks all the boxes. Owned and run by Chlöé Marsland, you’re guaranteed delicious, locally-sourced food freshly prepared by Chlöé, with an emphasis on flavour and a personal touch. Chlöé comes with a fantastic pedigree. She worked alongside Jamie Oliver as a chef and mentor at Fifteen Cornwall at Watergate Bay when it first opened, returning recently along

with Jamie to celebrate it’s tenth birthday. Following this, she worked as a private chef in Switzerland, France and Spain, before returning to her beloved home village to take over the Harbour Lights. Over the course of three years, she has single-handedly transformed the former café into an atmospheric waterside restaurant. From fabulous cream teas to candle-lit suppers, head to Coverack’s best kept secret!

SEAFOOD AS FRESH AS IT GETS AT THE OLD SAIL LOFT

DINE OUT FOR LESS MIDWEEK AT ROSEWARNE MANOR Rosewarne Manor in Hayle offers the perfect blend of a countryside setting while being a mere stone’s throw from the glorious beaches of St Ives bay. What better place to dine in style? And, on that note, thanks to the Rosewarne team, we’re delighted to present an exclusive midweek offer for all our readers. You’ll enjoy an incredible 15% off all meals (including all courses) on Wednesdays and Thursdays throughout June and July, simply by showing your copy of Cornwall Living! So why not head down and tuck in to one of the award-winning, two AA Rosette restaurant’s superb dishes? Legendary ﬁsh chowder, bar meals and items from the á la carte menu are all available with the exclusive Cornwall Living offer. The discount applies to all starters and desserts as well (not applicable with any other offer or special ﬁxed price menu). Families are welcome too, so take the opportunity to dine in beautiful surroundings at less than many pubs!

When Dom and Michelle first moved down from Nottingham to the seaside town on Looe 12 years ago, they were looking for a modest yet charming building to open a small restaurant. Thankfully, to everyone’s delight, they ended with a bit more than they bargained for: The Old Sail Loft, an impressive, stone-fronted 80-seater seafood restaurant on the picturesque quayside overlooking the harbour, one of the oldest buildings in Looe. Over the years, they’ve built a solid reputation for fine food and a great atmosphere befitting the stunning location. But not content on running a successful waterside restaurant, the Sadlers also run their very own fish merchants along with good friend Julian Clemens, Simply Fish Looe. So one thing you can be absolutely sure of it is the quality and provenance of the fish and shellfish on offer. But if you’re not a fan of seafood, that’s ok! Carnivores and vegetarians are both well catered for. The Old Sail Loft is open seven days a week in the summer and five days a week in the winter, with a fabulous range of local ales and wine served to complement the food. So why not pop down to the quay and give it a try. Fridays are cocktail night two-for-one, and don’t forget the tasty set menu, available every day from just £15.

THE BEST PRISON FOOD YOU’LL EVER EAT What do David Bowie, Norman Wisdom, Nancy Sinatra, David Cameron, Goldie, Prince Charles and the Israel’s former Prime Minister have in common? No, they’re not signed on for the next celebrity reality TV series (although that would make for interesting viewing). They have all been cooked for by critically acclaimed chef, Paul Scott. Paul has an impressive resume including stints at Manchester United Football Club, top hotels and restaurants, cruise ships and, more recently, Cornwall’s

iconic Lost Gardens of Heligan. His latest appointment is Head Chef of Bodmin Jail. The 18th century lock up is well known for its spooky ghost tours, gruesome exhibitions, and enthralling educational activities. It may not, however, be the ﬁrst place that springs to mind if you’re looking to eat out. But, with Paul’s appointment, you can expect some excellent ﬁne dining, with delicious dishes including Cornish hake loin steak served with Cornish asparagus and lemon cream sauce and creamed mash potato. A new

seasonal menu is soon to be announced and we’re really excited to see what Paul comes up with. So don’t hold back, make your reservation today and get ready to enjoy Paul and the team’s culinary delights. Unlock the ﬂavour!

BEAUTIFULLY FRESH SHELLFISH AT THE LEMON ARMS The Lemon Arms is a popular, family friendly traditional pub in the creekside village of Mylor Bridge on the Carrick Roads. In the fine weather we’ve been enjoying recently, it’s the perfect place to follow a brisk stroll round the creek, with a refreshing pint or glass of wine in the bar or beer garden. In fact, why not take root and stay for lunch too? Everything on the menu is locally sourced wherever possible, with tasty new seasonal dishes frequently arriving from the kitchen, courtesy of Head Chef Chris Oakes and the team. This month, they have gone shellfish mad, as Landlord Jonny Pearce explains. “Currently we’re flying through fresh local crab and lobster”, he says, “which we get straight from our Mylor lobsterman. Other popular dishes include the local scallops and wild, handpicked mussels – all the better with a bit of sunshine!” THE LEMON ARMS Lemon Hill, Mylor Bridge TR11 5NA 01326 373666

HOME HOME- COOKED DELIGHTS AT FALMOUTH’S PIER CAFÉ In the heart of Falmouth on the iconic Prince of Wales Pier, you’ll find the Pier Café, a charming eatery serving delicious, freshly prepared delights. It’s the perfect spot to watch the boats come and go. In fact, you’ll be hard pushed to find a better view of the harbour. And if you’ve arrived by boat, via the ferry, from St Mawes or Flushing, then the Pier Café is likely one of the first things you’ll see as you step onto land! So why not pop in for a light bite before continuing on into the town? It’s a short walk from the main street but a tranquil spot to recharge your batteries. A busy café, popular with both locals and holidaymakers, there’s a great atmosphere all year round, even in the depths of winter. The terrace is extremely sheltered, used come rain or shine from January to December. The Pier Café is proud to showcase local produce. You’ll find tasty homemade cakes, homemade ginger scones made with Cornish butter and served with lemon curd and clotted cream. The proper cooked breakfast using local sausages, thick bacon and free range eggs is always popular, as is the fresh Cornish crab sandwich, made with all white meat and served in local bread.

OF THE COAST We sample the locally caught flavours of Padstow in the boutique seafood bar Prawn on the Lawn.

almier evenings and opalescent waters remind us that on our doorstep lies a paradise akin to those we often seek abroad. And, as more people look to the shores of Cornwall for the perfect stay-at-home holiday – whether it’s a weekend away, a fortnight by the sea or just an afternoon spent meandering about – it’s really no wonder that Padstow sits at the top of the list. With cycling, boat trips, fine dining and stunning beaches, the popular north coast fishing town has something for everyone. As you might expect, there’s a thriving supply and demand for seafood. So, having not visited since I was a boy, my partner J and I headed north one Saturday afternoon, to sample a true taste of the sea. As we walked down to Prawn on the Lawn, a restaurant aptly named for its delectable seafood menu, we found ourselves charmed by the boutique shops adorning the streets and welcomed by the kick-back, take-your-time atmosphere. It was J who spotted the restaurant. Modestly nestled between its terraced neighbours, on a street conveniently close to the harbour head yet comfortably removed from the hustle and bustle, we got the feeling that we’d stumbled across a hidden gem. Taking our seat on one of a handful of tables, we began to drink in the finer details: locally salvaged sea shells doubling as salt and pepper

pots; fresh, interspersed white tiles and red bricks contrasting beautifully with a wooden floor so that when we sat, we felt as if we’d boarded the very boat on which our meals were caught. Gazing up at the menu, hungry from the road, I was awed by the sheer variety on offer. When we saw the number of the boat on which the day’s catch was caught, we knew we were in for a treat! Before we ordered, a friendly couple sat on the next table recommended the small plate menu. We were told that each dish would come out at different times. Indeed, as soon as the skilled chef had prepared each dish, cooked to order, they were brought straight to the table, fresh as the sea air filtering through the windows. We opened the meal with a crisp bottle of white, soothing our throats on what was a particularly muggy afternoon, and soon began to chatter excitedly as we awaited our first course – oysters! I was initially dubious about our choice of appetizer, after a particularly harrowing episode on my travels in Cambodia. On this occasion, however, seeing just how fresh they were and not one to let foodiephobias get the better of me, I dressed mine with lemon and knocked it back. What a flavour! Having left my fear for all things shelly behind me, we clinked our glasses, took a draught and eagerly awaited the next course.

From the small plate menu, we tried north African spiced ray wing, crab som tam, clam and muscle broth, scallops in the shell and the establishment’s signature dish Prawn on the Lawn. Every last morsel was packed with its own, rich flavour and each dish came out beautifully presented, down to the last detail – it seemed a crime to dig in! Prawn on the Lawn first opened in Islington, London, where owners Rick and Katie set up a fully licensed fishmongers-come-seafood bar. Before long, the couple decided to head south west, moving to Cornwall and unveiling Prawn on the Lawn Padstow. Based on the Islington model, it boasts the additional benefit of a hot food license. The couple place their focus on locally sourced seafood and Rick makes the most of the wealth of fresh, local produce by experimenting with new recipes, surprising tourists and locals alike with an ever changing menu. The restaurant serves just 24 covers, so it’s certainly worth booking. In fact, I get the feeling that, come rain or shine, high or low season, Prawn on the Lawn Padstow will be a sell-out all year round.

Supper in the

CITY

The New Inn in Goonhavern oﬀers a unique blend of style and comfort in which to enjoy your meal. With The Alverton launching its tantalising new menu, we catch up with Head Chef Simon George to discover more. é ABOVE A beautifully presented crab starter, succulent lamb rump and a luxury charcuterie board ê BELOW Fresh and tasty duck salad

he Alverton, a luxury hotel in the centre of Truro set in a Grade II listed former manor house and convent, is the perfect place to enjoy a break in the city, while being the ideal base from which to explore the rest of Cornwall. But whether you’re staying for a while or simply passing through, you must check out the fabulous Bar & Brasserie. Over the last two years, Head Chef Simon George has been busy refining and honing the menu, drawing on the wonderful array of local produce available to create a stunning selection, with something for everyone. “It’s a fresh, very tasty and attractive menu”, explains Simon. “We have a wide variety of dishes including charcuterie boards, open focaccia sandwiches, salads, a grill menu with the finest steaks and main courses to die for, followed by some beautiful desserts.” The menu stays the same day and night, giving Simon’s team greater scope to utilise the fine seasonal produce sourced locally: meat from Brian Etherington’s, fish from Celtic Fish and Game and veg from WestCountry. With so much to tempt you on the menu, it begs the question what Simon would personally order. He pauses for thought. “It’s very difficult to pinpoint one favourite dish. However, if I was to choose a three-

course meal, I’d probably go for the crab and watermelon to start; maple roasted Creedy Carver duck breast as my main and a light delicious mango parfait with passion fruit sorbet, coconut tuile, lime meringue and coconut marshmallow to ﬁnish.” Simon trained in Neath, a small town in south Wales, working in hotels and restaurants before moving to Cornwall in 2008. “A complete change of lifestyle moving from a town to the coast”, he says with a smile, “but I’d never look back. A real career highlight is cooking for Prince Charles, Camilla, Princess Sophie and Princess Alexandra at the Royal Cornwall Show.” So, what advice would Simon give to budding chefs? “Never be afraid to try something new. Often people get scared if they don’t know what certain ingredients are. Give it a go! You may be surprised.” For what it’s worth, we have some simple advice of our own: book a table at The Alverton’s Bar & Brasserie and sample the magic yourself!

A winning

combination Discover the Victoria Inn, a 12th century pub nestled in the lovely village of Perranuthnoe.

ocated in Mount’s Bay between Penzance and Cudden Point, Perranuthnoe is host to one of the oldest pubs in Cornwall, the Victoria Inn. Just a short walk from the beach, the award-winning Victoria Inn is a beautiful pub run by husband and wife team, Nik and Laura Boyle. Combining a wonderfully traditional cosy pub atmosphere with a contemporary restaurant and a menu that appeals to all, this hidden gem has found itself a favourite of locals and visitors alike, and whether you want an unfussy fish and chips or perhaps a more elegant dish of shellfish bisque with oyster leaf and samphire, there is something for everyone.

words by:

Jolen Haddon-Silver “We take a simple approach, one that is all about the customer”, says owner and Head Chef Nik Boyle, and it shows. Having taken over the premises in 2015, Nik and Laura have retained the core of what the pub always was: a warm and welcoming family business that serves good food, and combined with their ethos of simple flavours and fresh local ingredients the result is, as written by the Food Insider’s Guide, “a winning combination”. Reviewed in the Saturday Times as the “best pub food ever eaten”, a sentiment shared by local journalist Lee Trewhela, the Victoria Inn has amassed an impressive list of top reviews and accolades in the short time since Cornish-boy-returned-home Nikolaus Boyle and wife Laura took over. Listed in the Trencherman’s guide, and given a 4 out of 5 in the Harden’s Guide, The Victoria Inn really is “worth driving miles for”. It has also found itself as one of only eight pubs in Cornwall listed in the Michelin

“a winning combination” Food Insider’s Guide

Pub Guide, as well as many other food guides in and around the country. Perfect for long weekends away or as a stopover for those travelling on to the Scillies, the two recently refurbished B&B rooms encapsulate everything about the inn, a wonderful combination of comfort and character; the breezy seaside feel to the rooms prepares guests effortlessly for their coastal break. Going forward, Nik aims to “establish the Victoria Inn as the dining pub in Cornwall, and to maintain consistency in both our hospitality and our food.” In-keeping with the inn’s support for local suppliers and breweries, the Victoria Inn also prides itself on allowing young chefs to flourish. “We will continue to keep nurturing young student chefs and offering apprenticeships”, says Nik. From staff to food, local sourcing really is the heartbeat of the pub. Speaking about a beautiful new duck dish, Nik says, “As

with the bisque, everything on the plate is sourced locally. It comes from Roger Olver at Cornish Duck Company and is the most stunning duck I have ever eaten, the vegetables are all from Elaine Thomas. It is a privilege to be able to work with ingredients that have been grown and cared for by the people that then deliver them directly to your door”. And this is reflected in the dishes, the stripped back approach of the inn doesn’t allow the ingredients anywhere to hide. Whether it is meat from Trevarthen’s or daily caught fish from the Sheila T in Porthleven, it is simply top quality produce, prepared and cooked perfectly. “We don’t use any particularly modern cooking techniques”, says Nik, when asked about his classical-style approach. “Everything is simply cooked with care.” It is important to remember however, that the Victoria Inn is still a pub, and the same approach is taken with the beer.

“There are always at least five local beers available, it is important to support local suppliers, we support one another, it doesn’t make any sense to buy nationally when the products that are right on our doorstep are so good.” The Victoria Inn has both a bar and a restaurant area, allowing you to choose whether you want to dine in the more traditional pub atmosphere or in the newly refurbished restaurant. It also has a beautiful south-facing garden to enjoy in those warm summer evenings, perhaps with a carefully created sharing board and a glass of wine. Just don’t forget to ask about the homemade bread!

TREASURE

In search of an experience to remember, we struck gold at The Brig, a quirky bar on Falmouth’s Arwenack Street.

t’s always the same conundrum: family are visiting for a special occasion – in this instance my brother-inlaw’s birthday – and you’re looking for somewhere a bit different to take them out for dinner. As we all know, when it comes to dining out, we’re spoilt for choice here in Cornwall – particularly in Falmouth, among the many fabulous independent eateries. If anything, the challenge is simply narrowing it down! Searching for somewhere new, and that would make a lasting impression, we discovered The Brig, an intriguing basement bar and restaurant, daring to be different. This enthralling bar set back from Arwenack Street, a stone’s throw from the harbour, takes its close proximity to the sea as inspiration, drawing on Falmouth’s rich maritime heritage… with a pirate theme. While the thought alone may have some

running to abandon ship, fear not! The theme is done subtly and playfully, with tongue ﬁrmly in cheek and served with a big dose of fun. We ambled down the ship’s stairs and into the ambient restaurant with a fantastic, informal atmosphere. Greeted at the door by friendly bar staff we knew we were in for a treat. The service was fantastic, from the moment we entered. The inside feels a bit like the galley of a ship, with dark planking lining the walls, and portholes, lanterns and other maritime memorabilia all adding to the atmosphere. In keeping with the theme, menus are treasure maps with medallions for your drinks tabs. The food is well-priced, hearty, unpretentious and – most importantly of all – delicious. If you like barbeque, you’re in for a treat. But there’s plenty of choice on offer, from seafood and platters, to burgers, salads and vegetarian options too.

Skimming through the menu, the ‘666 Challenge’ certainly looked intriguing – six minutes to eat “six ridiculously hot chicken wings”, only to wait another six minutes before enjoying the comfort of a drink or napkin! But despite the temptation of being forever immortalised above the bar upon success, we opted for more conventional choices. These included chicken wings, shredded lamb shoulder in plum sauce, and a seafood platter to share, with coconut chilli mussels, crab and smoked haddock fritters, half-smoked lobster and mini nachos. Needless to say, empty plates and big smiles showed our appreciation. Now, if pirates have an association with a particular tipple, it has got to be rum. And that’s where The Brig really comes into its own, with around 100 varieties on offer – my personal favourite was the Admiral Vernon’s Old J Spiced. But if you’re not a fan of rum,

that’s ok. You’re bound to ﬁnd your drink of choice on the seemingly endless list of cocktails. We certainly did our best to work our way through it, and The Cuba Libre, Mojitos and Long Island Ice Teas certainly went down well. But all good things must come to an end, and reluctantly we pulled ourselves from our seats. But we’ll deﬁnitely be returning soon. We came looking for treasure and struck gold.

A new

dawn

Landmark Waitrose and Great Cornish Food stores open in Truro, championing the south west’s finest produce.

f you’re a real foodie, you may be excited to discover that Waitrose has finally arrived in Cornwall. Now, proud as we are of the Duchy’s incredible, world-class produce, and all its independent artisans, makers and producers, we’re not usually ones to be celebrating the arrival of a national chain, per se. However, national presence or not, one thing for certain is that Waitrose is no ordinary supermarket. In fact, on closer inspection, Waitrose’s ethos is a perfect fit with region, being well known and celebrated for advocating local, seasonal produce. Indeed, Waitrose has longchampioned the provincial artisan, selling over 2,500 locally and regionally sourced products from 600 suppliers. And you’ll be glad to know that Cornwall is very well represented: Cornish Orchards cider, Rodda’s clotted cream, Kelly’s ice cream, Cornish yarg cheese, St Endellion Cornish Brie, Cornish Sea Salt, Tregothnan tea, Tribute ale, Camel Valley Brut… the list goes on, and reads like a who’s who of some of our favourite brands and products. All of Waitrose’s Duchy Organic milk is sourced from West Country farms, working to high standards of animal welfare, with donations from proceeds going towards

é ABOVE Friendly advice is always on hand at the deli and fresh food service counters ç MAIN Waitrose is celebrated for its awardwinning artisan produce

The Prince of Wales’s Charitable Foundation. The award-winning retailer combines the convenience of a supermarket with the expertise of a specialist shop, dedicated to offering quality food that has been responsibly sourced. Waitrose also runs a ‘Community Matters’ scheme, donating £1000 between three local causes every month. So if there’s a particular cause that you’d like to support, you can nominate it for future appeals. To date, Waitrose has donated £14 million and counting to various community projects. And there’s another fundamental aspect of Waitrose which we wholeheartedly support. Being part of the John Lewis Partnership, workers are not employees; they are Partners, sharing in the business’s profits. So, that said, what can we expect from the new store? Well, for starters you’ll be spoilt for choice with the number of fresh food service counters including meat, fish, deli and cheese. As you’ll expect from the awardwinning grocer, specialists are on hand to offer hints, tips and advice, so whatever the culinary delicacy you’re planning to prepare tonight, you’ll find exactly what you need. Of course the finest food is nothing without quality, thirst-quenching drinks to accompany it. Thankfully, you’ll find a range of awarding-winning beers, wines and a well-stocked spirits department. Before or after shopping, why not relax in the large café, where you can enjoy the same quality ingredients you’ll find across the store. Waitrose has long held a reputation for its

quality produce, but what is perhaps less well known is that it’s a genuinely affordable option too – not simply somewhere to shop occasionally for that something a bit special. Waitrose has a brand price match commitment, matching Tesco on all branded grocery products (excluding promotions). And there are other simple ways to make savings in your weekly shop too. Reap rewards by joining the myWaitrose scheme – sign up today to enjoy even more from the new Truro store, including extra savings on everyday items and the chance to pick you own offers. To cap it all off, the new Waitrose store is accompanied by the Great Cornish Food Store, just next door, an independent venture, exclusively championing the very best of Cornish food and drink. The landmark store is the brainchild of the innovative bunch who brought us the fabulous and popular recipe books, The Great Cornish Food Book (above) and The Great Cornish Fish Book, so you know it’s in good hands. So, the next time you’re in the city, head to Tregunna Park, Newquay Road, to discover a whole host of fabulous food and drink.

Out & about

l ou s h t i w s s Busine We meet the woman whose inspiration is getting the most out of holiday homes for local businesses.

here is always a careful balance to be had especially in Cornwall between holiday lets for visitors and ensuring that local businesses benefit as much as possible from their arrival. After years of raising awareness Immaculette, and many holiday home companies, are now leading the way with this initiative and soon the days of holidaymakers stocking up at their local supermarket before even setting off for Cornwall will be long gone… Part of the joy and delight of coming to the Duchy is the fabulous food and local produce on sale! Immaculette is a business based in Cornwall but operating nationally and internationally to bring the benefits of tourism to the local economy and especially to small artisan producers, encouraging holiday home owners and potential occupiers to sign up and join the movement. I caught up with MD of Immaculette, Lynne Hughes, to find out about the woman behind the company. Brought up in Fowey as a child, Lynne told me, “I realise now just how fortunate I was to have such an inspiring upbringing; sailing with my brothers and father, amazing cliff walks with my dog Willow, and lazing on the spectacular Cornish beaches in the sun. But my inspiration comes particularly from my mother, a truly dynamic, funny and

glamorous woman, who worked hard and helped others.” Lynne spent seven years travelling and working in Europe with her then husband and son. She describes it, “as an awesome time.” During her career, so far, she has run several businesses including hair and beauty salons and three “fabulous” restaurants. But an untimely joining of the recession and the entrance to the town being blocked by cliff subsidence, put an end to the business and as Lynne candidly tells me: she lost her home, businesses, and her personal world came crumbling down. But life then seemed to get even worse as she broke her ankle rather badly and ended up lying on the sofa for six months at her mother’s in Polperro. But this enforced rest was a turning point for her; she started researching and Immaculette was born. Now Lynne is taking Immaculette’s movement to rural villages in places like India, Morocco and Bali. “I’m inspiring holiday home owners to be an integral part of a moral and ethical movement that starts in Cornwall!”

The Watch House, Falmouth

With amazing views over Custom House Quay and across Falmouth bay, the Watch House is a beautifully renovated property located in the heart of Falmouth’s historic harbour. You’d be hard pressed to ﬁnd a better spot from which to experience life on the coast, although with stunning features and views, the Watch House is equally apt for enjoying a lazy, relaxing holiday without a lot on the agenda! The Watch House features impressive ﬂoor-to-ceiling windows on three sides providing breath-taking 180° views across the harbour. Watch as the boats

drift back and forth, or gaze across the bay towards St Mawes. Watching the sunlight sparkle on the water, or the gulls circling overhead, is the perfect way to relax. The stunning contemporary kitchen contains all the mod cons you could possibly need, while the upsidedown layout makes the most of those incredible views. The wonderful balcony is ideal for relaxing with a cool, refreshing drink, watching life come and go, and for dining al fresco. The master en-suite bedroom features a luxurious super king-size double bed, again with an outstanding river vista. In the town centre you’ll ﬁnd both quirky independent boutiques and your favourite high street chains. Bakeries, pubs, cafes and chic restaurants cater for all your culinary needs. Why not catch the ferry to St Mawes from the quay outside the door? Boat trips run frequently up the river and through the Carrick Roads to Truro, Flushing and also the Helford, to discover more of this beautiful area. 01326 567344 www.falmouthholidayhomes.co.uk

Shopping

Summer style Browse the season’s fashions at Cargo Clothing in Penryn.

t’s a busy time of year for Sue and the team at Cargo Clothing. As the summer arrives and the sun ascends in the Cornish sky, we start to see more and more weddings taking place across the county. Meanwhile summer also marks the start of prom season. Put the two together and what this means is a big demand for beautiful and glamorous dresses. Thankfully, Cargo is on hand with a huge range of designer dresses to suit any occasion. The company has been in operation since 2000, originally in Truro, before relocating to the flagship store in Penryn in 2014. The move enabled Cargo to display even more beautiful gowns, with double the floor space (and the free parking is always a bonus too!). Cargo houses the biggest collection of Sherri Hill, Pia Michi and Tiffany dresses in the south of England. In addition to prom and bridesmaid dresses, you’ll also find a small, but carefully chosen selection of beautiful wedding dresses. But whatever the occasion happens to be, or the style you’re after, from the decadent to the elegantly simplistic,

you’re bound to find something just perfect for you. Sizes available range from a UK 0 up to a UK 28. And designer brands need not mean designer prices. Dresses range from £20 up to £800, while Cargo also promises to price match like-for-like items in the unlikely event that you find the same piece cheaper elsewhere. Cargo has a huge online presence, with all dresses in store available in a few clicks, along with additional stock that can be obtained. “We open during prom season seven days a week, aiming to answer any emails or facebook messages within minutes of receiving enquiries”, says Sue. “We are on the phone and offer any advice that is asked for in the search of finding the right dress for that special occasion.” So if you’re looking for a special dress for that big event, make Cargo Clothing your go-to destination.

e love this time of year… getting outside and into the garden, tending to the plants, enjoying a barbeque on the patio, or simply kicking back on a sun lounger with a good book and a glass (or two) of Pimm’s. But then there are those unenviable tasks too, like picking out those unrelenting weeds from the drive and scurrying around in the back of the shed to find the pressure washer to sort out those weather-worn, faded paving slabs. Why is it always the drive and paved areas that seem to let the garden down? But there’s another – easier – way to instantly turn a patchy, shabby exterior space into a sharp, clean and functional area. Simply pick up the phone and give Oltco a call. For over 12 years now, the Cornwall based company has been leading the way in resin flooring. We were amazed at the finish that can be achieved. As the expression goes, a picture says a thousand words, and the results really do speak for themselves. Opting for a resin finish for your paved areas has many benefits. For a start, it’s a versatile material, equally at home surrounding a traditional character cottage

or an ultra contemporary apartment block, depending on how it is dressed. There are a range of finishes and colours to suit any taste or style of property. Unlike loose gravel, which often gets stuck in tyre treads and can chip paintwork, resin is a smooth, safe surface that’s very easy to drive and walk on. Even better, it’s durable, tough and maintenance free. The resin is UV stable, which means no colour change or fading. Some resins can go green after 12 months. However, Oltco only uses premium resins to prevent this from happening, ensuring a quality finish that lasts in the fine Cornish sunshine. These tried and tested resins are also up to three times stronger than many others used on the market. It’s also a great way to make previously disconnected outdoor spaces flow together seamlessly, without any unsightly joins dividing the area. This can make your building’s exterior – whether a garden, courtyard or car park – appear more coherent and less fragmented. A resin drive is a worthwhile investment too – we all know how important first impressions can be and a well-maintained driveway not only provides kerb appeal to

entice viewers or customers in; it also says that this place is truly cared for; the owners take pride in its appearance. But the service doesn’t just stop once the drive is completed. The Oltco team pride themselves particularly on their aftercare, ensuring your smile doesn’t fade with a post completion, call back service. In fact, they are so confident in the finish that they offer an impressive 10-year guarantee on all work carried out. “Basically, we strive for quality in everything we do”, says Director Johnny Pearce. “Boring as it may seem, we really do care and are extremely passionate about how we do things here.” Seeing is believing, so to witness the results for yourself, why not pay a visit to Oltco’s showroom in Newquay? Don’t waste any more time battling those stubborn weeds when you could be out enjoying the sunshine. This is one path definitely worth choosing.

Out & about

Let the show begin Kneehigh’s Asylum season returns to Cornwall with three new shows.

ummer’s coming and it’s time to pick up the guy ropes and pitch the tent for the return of Kneehigh’s incredibly popular Asylum, set in the magniﬁcent surroundings of the Lost Gardens of Heligan. Visitors to The Asylum will be able to enjoy the atmosphere of the garden and dine at the Heligan Restaurant, with fresh produce from the garden and estate. Inside the Asylum tent there will be a fully licensed bar and hot drinks and cakes – open before and after the show and at the interval. Now in its sixth year, the award-winning season which runs from Thursday 14th July to Sunday 28th August is even bigger with three new productions. First up is Daniel Jamieson’s The Flying Lovers of Vitebsk

Image courtesy of: Steve Tanner

è RIGHT This summer’s shows include ‘The Flying Lovers of Vitebsk’ and ‘FUP’

directed by Emma Rice, a dazzling and romantic play about the early life of artist Marc Chagall and his wife Bella. Simon Harvey directs FUP, his adaptation of US novelist Jim Dodge’s best-selling modern fable about a singular family and their overweight, whisky-swilling duck and to finish, the Asylum welcomes from Shakespeare’s Globe their touring production of The Two Gentlemen of Verona. For the first time, the Asylum tent will have reserved seating, so you can choose specific seats when you book your tickets. This means no more queueing to nab the best seats and more time picnicking or with your friends at the bar before the show! This year Kneehigh want to give away 300 tickets to young people from some of Cornwall’s most deprived areas. To make this happen, they need your help. For just £5 you can help someone to experience a Kneehigh show who otherwise wouldn’t get the chance. More details, and how to donate, can be found on the main website at www. kneehigh.co.uk and for an in-depth look at how Kneehigh make their productions visit their new website www.kneehighcookbook. co.uk which reveals the ingredients needed for a successful show!

Stay

A lifestyle with latitude Why life on the Rock Road is like nothing you’ll experience elsewhere.

The Latitude50 team

Latitude50 provides quality coastal accommodation in Rock, Polzeath, Daymer Bay and Port Isaac. The team embody the laid back Latitude50 lifestyle and pride themselves on being ahead of the curve. They live and breathe this lifestyle both inside and out of the office, ensuring guests can do the same. With the office located on the Rock Road, owner Jill Landeryou and the team are always available for a chat and never far away if you need them. If you are lucky, you might even get to meet Bo the office cat, another proud resident of the Rock Road.

estled on the banks of the Camel estuary, Rock is a popular watersports destination where calm waters meet the wide open sea. Rock has built up a reputation over the years for being one of the premier coastal villages in the UK and rightly so. A popular bolt hole for both celebrities and royalty, Rock oozes quality and can be enjoyed by all whether as a holiday destination or a day out. The expansive golden sands of Rock beach are simply waiting to be explored. With calm waters for bathing and plenty of sand dunes to explore, it’s sure to keep all generations happy. With a beach that’s dog friendly all year round, it’s the perfect place to bring your pooch. Dogs of all shapes and sizes can be seen running, splashing and exploring the sand dunes.

The iconic sailing club rises above the Rock water and strongly embodies the spirit of the area with visitors coming far and wide to sail. A wooden jetty juts out into the water, boats bob alongside and striped sails fly past in the wind along the estuary. Rock comes alive with ropes and coloured sails during Camel Week, the highlight of the sailing year. Taking place from the 13th to the 18th August, Camel Week is one of the largest menagerie regattas outside Cowes Week. Passers-by are likely to be just as colourful as the sails themselves and styled in a yellow Seasalt jacket here and there, or some blue or red trousers from Crew. In fact, the selection of shops that you’ll find along the Rock Road is reflective of the style of the area. You won’t find any average seaside merchandise here. With Seasalt, Jack Wills,

White Stuff, Crew Clothing and Quba, you’re sure to experience some quality retail therapy. As well as the well-known brands you can also enjoy browsing in Mooch with its beautiful coastally inspired homewares or Lewis’ deli, for local artisan food. Rock faces the beautiful harbour town of Padstow and is ideally situated for visitors to explore everything it has to offer. Just a short hop across the estuary on the ferry you can experience the best of Padstow whilst being able to leave the crowds behind and return to Rock. For golf lovers out there you are treated to one of the UK’s

top golf courses, St Enodoc. With breathtaking views of the sea and estuary not to mention undulating fairways, ﬁrm greens and some blind shots, it will be a truly memorable day out on the course. The Rock lifestyle has culminated in a small and beautiful festival that takes place every year (15th to 16th July) on the banks of the Camel estuary. The Rock Oyster Festival epitomises laid back Cornish artisan chic. The festival highlights the county’s rich seafood traditions with visitors eating their way through thousands of Cornish oysters as well as live music, yoga workshops and hot tubs. Rock is a great base from which to explore the rest of Cornwall. Polzeath is just minutes away with great waves and surf schools. The golden sands of Daymer Bay are only a footpath away. You can also visit Doc Martin territory close by with a day out in the picturesque ﬁshing village of Port Isaac. Latitude50 has a range of breath-taking, self-catering accommodation in and around Rock. Visit the website to browse through the range of stunning properties.

Health

Back on your feet Put that spring back into your step, with keyhole knee surgery at Duchy Hospital.

s we get older, many of us unfortunately encounter problems with our knees. Thankfully you don’t need to suffer in silence. Hundreds of keyhole procedures are carried out every year at Duchy Hospital. Typically patients go home on the same day (without the need for crutches), recovering within a few short weeks. Complications are rare and usually minor. Keyhole surgery, also known as arthroscopy, is aimed at improving knee pain and symptoms caused by soft tissue damage within the knee. It’s not generally a substitute for knee replacement. The most common reason for requiring an arthroscopy is a sporting or twisting injury, damaging one of the knee’s structures. The torn cartilage can be trimmed and the patient may be able to get back to normal activities or even sport within a few weeks. If the injury is more severe and there is also ligament damage, a larger operation may be required at a later date. The torn ligament may even heal on its own so it may not be advisable to have ligament repair during the initial arthroscopy. “There’s no age limit for keyhole surgery”, explains Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, Robin Kincaid, “but it tends to be a more common procedure in the under 60s because

as we get towards our 70s arthritis is a more common cause of knee pain. You may require an X-ray or a knee scan prior to surgery to help with diagnosis. If you have knee arthritis and also ‘mechanical symptoms’, you may benefit from keyhole surgery.” Mechanical symptoms include the knee giving way or sticking while bending, or catching or locking. These symptoms may be intermittent or may be brought on by placing the knee in a certain position such as kneeling. This can be caused by a loose body (floating piece) or torn cartilage catching in the knee. If there is some arthritis in the knee as well as a torn cartilage, the recovery from keyhole surgery may take a month or two. Many people’s lives have been greatly improved by this quick and efficient procedure. So, if you think your knee pain may be relieved by an arthroscopy ask your GP for a referral to see a knee specialist. The time has come to stop suffering in silence and get back to doing what you love – like playing football with your grandchildren.

Charity

s d n e i r f y f f u ﬂ r u O A range of animals big and small brings joy to residents of Cornwall Care homes across the Duchy.

hroughout the year, Cornwall Care’s nursing and care home residents enjoy a selection of entertainment, activities and therapy sessions. There are lots of different activities that residents can take part in, from ﬁtness and movement based groups to arts and music therapies and all sorts in between. But one of the favourite activities for many of the residents of Cornwall Care is Pet Therapy. Pet Therapy is exactly what it says on the tin – a therapy session with tame animals or pets. Cornwall Care works with several local and national organisations to provide animal therapy to its residents, enjoying visits from the ‘Lizard Stallions’ pony therapy group and ‘Pets as Therapy’ for example, who regularly bring along different types of PAT (Pets as Therapy) animals to visit residents in their homes. Spending time with trained and tame animals can be highly beneﬁcial for mental wellbeing, especially for those people who struggle with communication or have dementia. PAT animals can be very soothing to be around – they are soft to stroke, ask no questions, usually like being given attention and are exceptionally well behaved – and they can make the biggest difference to those who need them most.

Staff at Cornwall Care like to get involved in activities and events, often noticing how Pet Therapy can help spark memories (such as time on the farm or of family pets) and can lead to some wonderful conversations. Most importantly though, they see how residents and guests burst into smiles when the animals greet them. Whether it’s giving a pony a tour of the home, laughing at a budgie sitting on a carer’s head, or stroking a puppy or rabbit on their lap, Pet Therapy engages and entertains many people at all stages of life, staff and residents alike. The team at Cornwall Care have asked us to thank those groups for bringing such joy into their homes and would like to share with you various pictures of their Pet Therapy sessions, as well as a picture of Peter and Paul, two budgies kindly donated to Redannick in Truro by the ‘Pets as Therapy’ group this year. They are absolutely adored!

Interview

Shape, lead & inspire That’s the description of the day job for the charismatic Bishop Tim.

words by:

Mandy Milano

t could be considered a bit daunting to interview the Right Reverend Tim Thornton the 15th Bishop of Truro, but luckily I have met him before and know that he is extremely warm, friendly and very easy to talk to. The only trouble I might have is that Tim is a wonderful listener and in the past I have always found myself doing most of the talking… this time I want to hear from him! Tim tells me, “My parents were devout Christians, I am a vicar’s son and I think that means you go one of two ways; rebel completely or get the bug yourself! Actually, on reﬂection, my own son and daughter disprove that theory; but I put that down to the rather wonderful intervention of my wife Sian! As a teenager I attended Church

of England youth clubs and rallies, mind you there was rather a renaissance of the Church in the ‘70s so I was with lots of interesting young people and some great music!” he adds with a smile. Tim studied at university and theological college before starting his career, ﬁrst as a deacon and then a vicar. He worked in the north of England for a while, then moved to London and became vicar of Kensington. “Back then, you didn’t apply to become a Bishop; the ambition would probably have been frowned upon. So the ﬁrst thing I knew about becoming the Bishop of Truro was a letter from George Brown who was Prime Minister at the time, congratulating me on getting the position! The PM appoints Bishops on behalf of the Queen.” Tim grins

again, “But nowadays we are a bit more forward thinking and try to help young vicars with their careers… and there is definitely an application and interview procedure before becoming a Bishop.” Tim is known for his work on poverty and with young people; he sits as a Bishop in the House of Lords. “I am one of the Church’s representatives there and speak particularly on young people, welfare and poverty.” He talks quietly but passionately about the growing divide between the mega-rich and the very poor; about the number of people needing to use food banks in Cornwall and about the knock-on effects that kind of poverty can have on their children. “Cornwall is such a beautiful place to live but there are still some children who have never seen the sea!” I ask Tim to tell me about a couple of his most memorable moments. The first one comes immediately: “Oh the first one’s easy… I was on duty in the House of Lords when Mandela died. So, standing up in the Lords to pay tribute to the great man whilst surrounded by others who had met him or knew him well; and listening to their eloquent words about him.” The second takes more thought but after a while Tim grins sheepishly and says: “I’m at risk of the sin of pride – but if I’m being really honest, rather than trying to be a bit saintly… then the second is of me, on stage, at the Royal Albert Hall in London. It was such a fabulous

feeling, I’m so lucky, I was asked to compere a concert of Male Voice Choirs. There were over 5000 people in the audience, all these wonderful voices and me cracking the odd joke in between! I started off by saying: I’ve never preached to such a large congregation so I may be a while… they gave a huge, united groan!” Tim’s schedule sounds pretty hectic. His diocese covers all of Cornwall, the Isles of Scilly and two parishes in Devon, and he is up in London just about every week at the House of Lords where he also sits on a number of committees and advisory boards for the Church. But when he’s in Cornwall he likes to run two or three times a week, “just straight out of the back door I have Trelissick to explore.” He also loves reading modern novels. Tim grins, “which all sounds okay until I tell you that I do love ﬁnding really trashy old telly programmes to watch… like Bullseye!”

“5000 people in the audience, all these wonderful voices and me cracking the odd joke”

Festival spirit With festival season about to kick off, Amanda Winwood gives some tips on roughing it in style.

Honey is sweet in more ways than one! Enjoy this great hair treat whilst you relax in a post festival bath! To use: Take two tablespoons of runny honey and mix in one tablespoon of egg yolk and one tablespoon of organic olive oil. Massage into clean, damp hair. Leave for 20 minutes then rinse with warm water. The protein in the egg yolk will help replenish the keratin protein bonds that UV rays attack. Natural glossy hair!

We love using natural and organic ingredients. You may think that eggs, honey, avocadoes, lemon and yoghurt are great for a nutritious meal but they are all fantastic and affordable hair treatment ingredients. Oils in avocados closely resemble that natural oil mentioned earlier. The mild acidity in lemon will gently remove grease from hair.

• Hair adornments are great – glitter, hair tattoos, hair jewellery, headscarves and, of course, ﬂowers are all great as well as hats. • Remember this is your time to create your own festival style!

t’s that time of year again, and there’s a huge and growing interest in festivals within the UK. We are off to Glastonbury with the family in June where we’ll be joining Tony and Shelley Sampson and crew in Cornwall Solar Panels Pyramid Palace – I can’t wait! Cornwall has its own brilliant array of festivals too. Festivals are a time to let your hair down, relax and have fun. But in actual fact with limited access to water you have the perfect opportunity to try out some great festival hairstyles. It’s worth being aware that the scalp, when left to its own natural devices, will return to its own natural balance, producing just enough oil to keep your hair glossy and smooth. The natural sebum produced by the scalp ensures that the shaft of the hair is clean and protected.

e m i t e f i l a f o s Experience Truro and Penwith College gives us the lowdown on why part-time courses are the perfect answer for those seeking something new…

inding a moment for yourself in this busy world can often feel like an impossibility. Exploring an artistic passion or embarking on a dream career all too often slide down to the bottom of the priority list. Fortunately, there are now flexible ways to indulge your creative spirit, make new friends and begin a life with a little extra excitement. Whether you’re interested in flower arranging, mastering a musical instrument, discovering how to cook a new cuisine, crafting your own jewellery or learning a new language, Truro and Penwith College’s part-time courses cater to all interests. Zoe Cruise had been intrigued by pottery for some time and her husband paid for a part-time pottery course as a present. “It feels like the possibilities are endless,” she enthuses. “It’s nice to discover new skills and new approaches to learning. It has given me time for myself and something to do in my spare time.” Whistle while you work Of course an interest just doesn’t have to be a hobby; it can develop into a rich, fulfilling career. There are plenty of part-time qualification courses at Truro and Penwith College that have given people the start they needed to embrace a new and exciting stage of

working life. Courses in administration, accounting, HR, marketing, management, law, teaching and coaching mean there are many opportunities to take the first or next step in your career. Nikita James wanted to further her education to enhance her career prospects, but in a way that fit in with her family life. The VRQ Level 2 Diploma in Beauty Specialist part-time course gave her the flexibility to work, study and be mum at the same time. “I’m now in full time work in a salon doing what I set out to do,” she explains. “It’s been brilliant to make lifetime friends and have great all round support from the tutors.” Whatever your passion, you’ll find inspiration and opportunities abound at Truro and Penwith College. To find your perfect part-time course, have a look at our handy guide in this issue. Alternatively, contact the friendly part-time courses team. “We look forward to welcoming you to the College where a world of opportunity and experiences await.”

“We can’t live without white denim in the summer; it becomes a real wardrobe staple”

Dress to impress

The holiday season is upon us and what better excuse for a wardrobe update than a bit of sunshine.

ì ABOVE Some of the new summer range from Caneva, Downtown Dazzler and Fumana è RIGHT Top from Pluma

hether you’re off on holiday in an exotic location or plan to enjoy the sun at home on staycation, it’s that time of year when fashion really comes into its own. So, we catch up with Sharon Smith and Katie Robinson, the mother-daughter team behind Truro womenswear boutique Bishop Phillpott, who talk us through some of the key trends for the holiday season. Jumpsuits An outfit in one, we just love the ease of a jumpsuit. “They’re a great way to save space when packing to go away as they can be dressed up or down with ease”, says Katie. “This season we have a whole selection of jumpsuits, whether that be a jersey piece from Weekend by MaxMara, a cullotte jumpsuit from American Vintage or a more structured shirt style version.” Throw them on with some statement sandals for the day or take them up a notch and add heels and glam accessories for an evening look. An update on the classic white denim We can’t live without white denim in the summer; it becomes a real wardrobe staple.

“This season sees some new updates to the classic style”, adds Sharon, “with Donna Ida jeans in a more subtle ‘milk’ shade, and JBrand with a figure flattering new shape – the cropped flare. And if you really fancy a change then take a look at our gorgeous pale pink JBrand jeans; they’re a great way to update your denim and the shade is oh-so versatile!” Tropical brights Summer is always a great excuse for adding some brightness into our wardrobe, and this season sees the return of tropical brights. Oranges and limes are combined with whites and blacks in both collections from Paul Smith and Weekend by MaxMara. “If you’re a little frightened of too much colour why not simply add a touch to your outfit with some stunning statement jewellery from Weekend by MaxMara.”

Charity

Cornwall goes to London Raising money in London for affordable housing in Cornwall.

“I may not be fulltime in Cornwall but that doesn’t make my love of Cornwall any less!”

t’s no secret that housing, affordable housing, is a real problem, especially in Cornwall. With property prices in some areas up in the hundreds of thousands if not millions, local people can miss out on buying their own home. Cornwall Community Foundation (CCF) is launching the Second Home Owners Scheme and will be committing funds from it to the Cornwall Community Land Trust (CCLT). So in an elegant room at Two Temple Place in London, a gathering is going on bringing together a wide range of people with one thing in common… they all love Cornwall. The event’s run by CCF’s London supporters; the main sponsors are Savills and Tregothnan Estate with the delicious little bits of food from Fifteen Cornwall… in fact, the latest cohort from Fifteen have travelled to London to prepare and serve the food; a first for some.

The Second Home Owners Scheme is a brilliantly simple idea that asks people with second homes in the Duchy to pledge one week’s rent every year to the fund, or the equivalent if the house is not rented, which then goes to help build more affordable homes for local people. Director of CCLT, Andrew George, tells me. “We are delighted by the new fund. CCLT is a not-for-profit, charitable trust. Since starting, nine years ago, we have built nearly 200 new homes on over 20 village sites in Cornwall. We have ambitions to double that number in the next five years, but funding is always an issue, so this will really help. Oliver Baines, Director of CCF adds: “And… it offers people who love Cornwall, and are lucky enough to have a second home here the chance to get involved and make a difference. CCF is all about getting involved at a local level with local people and helping with funding and that is exactly what Community Land Trusts do. They work with residents in areas where local working families can’t afford to buy property anymore, to develop affordable housing schemes.” One of the celebrity guests, Alex Polizzi, tells me: “This is such a wonderful idea, I have already pledged money to the new fund. I may not be full time in Cornwall but that doesn’t make my love of Cornwall any less!”

Shopping “It’s not just a surf shop; it’s a lifestyle choice”

Summer starts here Complete your summer retreat with Ann’s Cottage and Cornish Getaways.

F S

rom humble beginnings as part of a petrol station in Polzeath, selling and renting out boards and equipment to the early surﬁng pioneers as well as providing beachwear to the holidaymakers heading south to enjoy the waves, Ann’s Cottage Surf Shop has since become extremely popular. Now, it has 11 stores across Cornwall and is one of Europe’s largest retailers of surf and lifestyle clothing as well as surf equipment ranging from wetsuits, boards and accessories. And, with three stores located in the heart of Padstow, including a store that’s part of the Animal franchise, there’s something for everyone. Ann’s Cottage was established in 1978, founded by Managing Director and Owner Rob Harris and continues to go from strength to strength. Now, Ann’s Cottage stocks its very own clothing ranges – ‘Born By The Sea’ for women and ‘Salt Water Seeker’ for men – all thoughtfully designed by the in-house buying team, as well as an array of world famous surf brands such as Animal, Roxy, Quiksilver and Billabong, to name a few. Ann’s Cottage is undoubtedly one of Europe’s largest stockists of wetsuits,

surfboards and surf accessories, with something for every level of ability. What’s more, you’ll ﬁnd local, handmade jewellery from Sadie-Jewellery, where Sadie herself collects and recycles washed up glass from local Cornish beaches, as well as new brand Syrup and Salt hand crafted bracelets, created and designed by Kato in Polzeath. Inspired by the surf, beach lifestyle, travel and anyone with a passion for life, the team at Ann’s Cottage take pride in delivering customer service that’s a cut above the rest. Customers are warmly welcomed and guided through every step of their visit, with friendly, pressure-free advice. As temperatures soar and longer days begin to demand more and more of our clothes and accessories, it’s high time we started getting our wardrobes in order. At Ann’s Cottage, those looking to kit themselves out for summer will ﬁnd that it’s not just a surf shop; it’s a lifestyle choice. Testaments to this are four holiday apartments, owned by Ann’s Cottage brand Cornish Getaways and located in the heart of Padstow. Situated above the Animal store,

Dan Warden

each let is named after well-known streets, events and memorials: Padstow Obby Oss, Prideaux, St Georges and St Saviours. Location here is key, as the apartments are conveniently situated in the centre of the archetypal Cornish working fishing port. Sat on the edge of the Camel estuary, Padstow is built on a hillside overlooking the water and to this day retains its original character, crooked streets and charmingly mismatched buildings. The coastline here is adorned by stunning beaches, all within a short walk or drive and across the water, on the opposite side of the estuary, is Rock, a popular sailing spot used by the rich and famous, historically including members of the Royal family. A short walk from here is surfing Mecca, Polzeath, home to the foundation blocks of Ann’s Cottage Surfshop and further down the coast again is ever-popular Port Isaac, so there’s plenty to be explored both on and off the water. Available all year round, these apartments offer something truly unique to holidaymakers, with boutique shops, boat trips, exquisitely fine dining and simply awesome views across the Cornish

coastline, all within a stone’s throw. Each ﬂat is self-contained and beautifully and comfortably furnished. They boast clean and open living spaces with modern kitchens, fully equipped with everything you’re likely to need. Apartments two and three have a terrace to make the most of some peace and quiet after a day exploring the area, while apartments one and four enjoy spectacular views of the bustling main street, which lies just one row from the glistening waters of Padtsow’s harbour. So, if a getaway on the pristine shores of north Cornwall is your idea of a perfect summer retreat, Cornish Getaways and Ann’s Cottage Surf Shop should be your ﬁrst port of call.

New this season you’ll ﬁnd even more stunning pieces in the Tolgus Collection, including the introduction of a special gold range and bespoke Tolgus wedding rings.

Cornwall’s leading independent electronics retailer HBH Woolacotts celebrates its 40th anniversary.

ing trad nwall r o C in

e all like a proper Cornish success story, and we’ve got a great one here! 1976 was a big year for the electronics industry – the ﬁrst portable cassette player was launched, a telephone with built-in CB radio hit the shelves and a small independent retailer was founded in Cornwall. This year, Cornish electrical retailer, HBH Woolacotts, is celebrating its 40th anniversary. Founded in July 1976 by Ted Hemmerle, HBH Woolacotts now owns and operates ten stores throughout Cornwall and Devon including an 18,000sqft electrical superstore in St Austell and the UK’s ﬁrst Panasonic Store in Plymouth. The business

“Today HBH Woolacotts remains a family-run independent company and at 90 years young, Ted Hemmerle still has an active role in the business!”

began following a buyout of a larger electrical retail chain, Woolacotts, with new directors taking on the existing shops in Bude and Launceston. Holsworthy followed three years later with the acquisition of Pengellys and in 1990 the Panasonic Technics Centre was opened as the UK’s ﬁrst solus Panasonic shop which started a nationwide ‘chain’, now branded Panasonic Store. The Wadebridge shop opened in 1994 and in 2003 the acquisition of Robin Wotton meant new HBH Woolacotts stores opened in Liskeard and Bodmin. The Sony Centre in Plymouth was opened in 2006, and in 2007 a move to a dedicated 25,000sqft warehouse and service centre in Bude meant the company’s stock, distribution and logistics operations were dramatically revamped and improved. The latest additions have seen the opening of a ﬂagship electrical superstore

112 CORNWALL LIVING CLM 48--ED--HBH Woolacotts--2.00 V3.indd 2

09/06/2016 15:10

in St Austell in 2012 and, most recently, the acquisition of Bernard Smiths in June 2015 has given HBH Woolacotts a presence in Barnstaple and north Devon. Family values play an important role in the ethos of Woolacotts. Today HBH Woolacotts remains a family-run independent company and at 90 years young, Ted Hemmerle still has an active role in the business! Ted’s son Martin

Hemmerle is now the Managing Director and has been joined by his own son and daughter, Chris and Lizzy. The business has been built on providing unrivalled customer service and going above and beyond to ensure that customers get the best support possible including free delivery and basic installation on most major appliance purchases. Over the years HBH Woolacotts has built up strong relationships with some of the top brands in the industry. Panasonic, Samsung, Sony, Bosch, Miele, Sky, Yamaha and Apple are just some of brands you can ﬁnd in an HBH Woolacotts branch, which brings a comprehensive range of the latest electrical products to Cornwall and Devon, all at competitive prices. Looking back 40 years it’s amazing to see the technological advancements in consumer electronics and how this has affected the day to day lives of everybody – in 1976, mobile phones, ﬂat screen TVs, portable computers and even the Internet were completely unheard of… the latest technologies included a portable cassette player! Celebrations will run throughout July with a variety of promotions, competitions and giveaways for customers and staff.

As she celebrates 20 years in business, designer-maker Jo Downs tells us what life in Cornwall has meant to her work.

ou’ve made Jo Downs Handmade Glass into one of Cornwall’s most iconic brands. What does that connection mean to you? It means everything to me. My work is entirely inspired by this beautiful county. I live and work here, have raised my sons here, and moved here precisely because it is such a stunning, naturally beautiful environment. Every part of my work is about Cornwall – its colours, its textures and of course its extraordinary quality of light. Glass is the perfect medium for expressing those things. You set up the business in 1996 and have seen it through two extraordinarily tough economic decades. What does it feel like to celebrate your 20th year? It feels fantastic, for lots of reasons. Obviously I’m proud that I’ve been able to realise my dream of being a designer-maker. I started out alone with one small kiln, so to be here now with my own studio, a fantastic team and ﬁve of my own galleries, well that’s a dream come true. Most of all though I’m proud I’ve made the business succeed here in Cornwall, a county which is still badly overlooked in terms of business potential. We have so much to offer, and so many fantastic artists and craftspeople

are enhancing that right now, building an unrivalled creative economy. I’m thrilled to be part of that, and if my success inspires people to stay here and set up on their own, so much the better. What would you say to people who want to take that leap and set up a creative business in Cornwall? I’d say do your research, get a sensible idea of where you fit in the creative scene, then have faith in yourself and go for it. Running a small business is not as hard as people think. Common sense, hard work and a bit of self-confidence will get you a very long way. If you are willing to keep learning, you will succeed. Cornwall needs entrepreneurs, and contributing to the success of this fabulous, far-flung county feels great – believe me. This is a special place and I think we need to shout about it!

words by:

Felix Rowe

ou’ve found – or perhaps personally hand painted – a true masterpiece; you’ve found the perfect position to hang it, taking pride of place above the ﬁreplace for all visitors to see. Or maybe you have a piece of treasured memorabilia that you wish to display. But there’s just one thing missing… you need the perfect frame to complete the look. Well, if that’s the case, then it’s time to pay a visit to The Customs House Gallery in Porthleven. Besides showcasing a range a stunning local art, the gallery also provides a bespoke picture framing service, offering a wide range of framing choices combined with a quality ﬁnish that is competitively priced. Framer John Winterton is professionally trained and has gained a reputation for quality workmanship. “Reliability and commitment to customer satisfaction is our priority”, says John. “We’ll discuss your requirements and offer advice to guide you through the design process to help you choose a style that best enhances your item.” The gallery stocks a wide selection of quality mouldings, mountboard and specialist glass, catering for all requirements and

budgets. All of the gallery’s mountboard is of conservation standard and above to protect your artwork from harmful effects of acids which can be present in other substandard products. But it’s not just canvasses and prints that can be framed, as John explains. “We are experienced in framing 3D objects and have framed a wide range of items such as an engraved pebble, icing sugar ﬂowers from a wedding cake, sports shirts, mosaics and jigsaws.” In fact, with a little imagination and ingenuity, almost anything can be framed and John seems to enjoy the challenge! “We regularly frame military memorabilia, specialising in Naval Air Squadron aircraft prints and badges which make ideal gifts. Medals can either be framed permanently or be removable for wearing or cleaning.” The framing workshop is located within The Customs House Gallery, situated on Porthleven’s harbourside, offering a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. So why not pop into the workshop or give John a call to discuss your requirements.

Advice

Don’t be fooled again Financial adviser Alan Powell helps us avoid the fake pension scams fooling millions.

Tried and tested

Alan was recently named eighth best in the UK as well as ‘The Best in the South West’ in a supplement in The Sunday Times.

“I was very proud to get such a high rating. I’d like to thank all my clients for taking the time to write their reviews. Without them, I wouldn’t have the business I do today.”

ith the rules on pensions changing recently, we now have a lot more freedom in managing our retirement pots. We can enjoy pension benefits from age 55 and take up to 25% immediately as tax-free cash, enabling reinvestment in property or more favourable schemes. While this allows greater financial flexibility, it can also leave us open to potential fraudsters taking advantage of people’s eagerness to explore new avenues for generating future income. Alan Powell of Elite Wealth Management, an independant, financial adviser from Heamoor, is all too aware of the dodgy schemes out there.

« l cia Finan er Advis «

Alan tells us of a couple who had received advice from a Gibraltar based company regarding his two pensions. “The company offered to consolidate his pensions into a drawdown type scheme, pay him his tax-free cash and then invest the rest of the funds ready for when he needed his income.” However, on investigation, it soon transpired the scheme was a scam and the company wasn’t regulated as it claimed. “They would’ve been charged an extortionate 9% initial fee, 4% on going annual fee and would probably never have seen their funds again, as has happened to many other poor unfortunate trusting elderly people.” Common pension scam warning signs are missed by nearly 90% of people, research by the Citizens Advice Bureau has found. We all like to think we can spot fraudsters, but many miss red flags such as high investment returns and cold calling. Scammers’ tactics are also shifting, moving towards other tricks such as ‘free’ reviews and ‘advice’. Gillian Guy, Chief Executive of the Citizens Advice Bureau, says: “It’s difficult for consumers to stay ahead of pension scams as they evolve. Many scammers use professional looking websites and leaflets to fool their victims into signing up to free pensions advice.” Its research also showed consumers aged 55-64 are most likely to take advantage of the pension freedoms and receive such calls. So what’s the solution? Only take financial advice from a trusted, regulated adviser such as Alan at Elite Wealth Management. Alan says: “I’ve personally come across two couples who nearly fell for this scam – please don’t be the next! I’d urge anyone wanting investment advice, or a review of their financial affairs, to only deal with a regulated financial adviser, from either a recommendation or a site such as VouchedFor or Unbiased.” Contact Alan now for bespoke, holistic and independent advice that you can trust.

Got to visit... PORT ISAAC

agical and enchanting, Port Isaac is a picturesque fishing village nestling in a valley on the north Cornwall coast. Relatively unchanged from its days of fishing, slate export and smuggling, it is frequently used as a film location; the Poldark series, Saving Grace, and Doc Martin have all been filmed here. The surrounding coastal paths are dramatic and rugged as they travel up and down the coves and headlands; sightings of rare birdlife and even the occasional glimpse of a seal or pod of dolphins is not uncommon. Wander down to the pretty working harbour through the small whitewashed and slate hung fisherman’s cottages and while away the hours with a cream tea as you watch the fishermen unload their catch.

The secluded sandy harbour provides an opportunity to go crabbing and shrimping in the many rock pools revealed as the tide ebbs away. Excellent food can be found in the many pubs, cafes and restaurants of the village including the double Michelin Star chef Nathan Outlaw. Round off your visit singing along with the Fisherman’s Friends as they perform their traditional sea shanties on the Platt on Friday evenings during the summer.

Idless, Truro

Guide £650,000

Quite simply, The Old Chapel offers “the best of both worlds” - a stunning and spacious rural retreat that is unbelievably close to the facilities of a small City, and not far from the Royal Cornwall Hospital. Approached over a generous driveway, the property has been carefully extended and maintained over the years resulting in a large family home with practical living space in a spectacular setting. A central hallway makes a fine introduction and divides the living space into two well defined areas. The sitting room has a feature fireplace with a woodburner and an exposed stone wall which gives a slightly rustic feel and a sense of character. Double doors open through to the conservatory which in turn has doors opening onto the garden. This whole area flows well and it’s easy to imagine a family enjoying cosy winter evenings by the fire and the lighter summer evenings in the conservatory. A kitchen/day room forms the hub of the home with a range of timber units and a Rayburn. There is plenty of space for a large dining room table and chairs and the utility room is conveniently just off the kitchen and has a door to the garden. Also off the kitchen/day room is a study/den - ideal for working from home or as a children’s play room. At the bottom of the stairs, there’s a shower room/WC. Upstairs there are four bedrooms and a family bathroom/WC plus an additional separate WC. It is worth noting that an efficient and up to date electric heating system has been installed which complements the Rayburn and the wood burner. Outside there is a fantastic chalet style cabin which is insulated offering numerous possibilities and also within the beautiful landscaped gardens you will discover a vegetable plot and through a delightful trellis arch there is an outdoor swimming pool which is large and yet not too deep. In addition there is a super field which is adjacent to the property which offers scope for keeping animals and really adds to this rural idyll. EPC rating E.

In one of a number of stimulating events, local artist Julia Rowlands recently donated her time and skills at the Health and Wellbeing Centre, leading a workshop, “Expressive use of colour with oil pastels”. Julia has been a professional painter since 1990, having a successful international exhibiting career behind her, including ten years in Munich where she also worked on architectural projects, led creative arts holidays in the Appenine Mountains as well as workshops in Volkshoschule, teaching Expressive Use of Colour and Perspective. Study at the Falmouth School of Art motivated Julia to return to Cornwall in 2005, inspiring her body of work which combines local landscape with structural industrial forms. Drawing from her experience as a carer, Julia later created her internationally recognised Arts and Health courses, delivering motivational colour workshops to socially isolated community groups.

And, furthering her passion for community involvement, Julia now delivers the workshop, which she kindly brought to the Health and Wellbeing centre, whilst continuing to teach and exhibit in the UK and Europe. The day included lots of fun and laughter alongside the production of some fantastic artwork. Without the help of generous individuals such as Julia, the Made for Life Foundation could not offer the support and opportunities that it does, and a huge thank you goes out everyone who has been involved with helping the charity.
