MALE CAPSULE WARDROBE

Here are Dress Doctor’s pick of garments to select to construct the base layer of your wardrobe, to see you through the winter months: The Forever Jean The jean was invented in 1891 by Jacob W Davies and Levi Strauss and was worn by miners and cowboys. In the 1950’s the fabric filtered down to mainstream fashion and has been a staple trouser ever since. Choose whichever wash appeals from pale and distressed to deep, dark indigo. The cut should be straight legged and relaxed. This is a real investment piece, so well-known trusted brands are best. The Versatile Blazer A blazer is the item that will work hard for you and just keep on giving. The beauty of a well cut, perfectly fitting suit jacket is it smartens up any ensemble and makes the look that bit more polished. I think the trick is to choose a smart, but slightly laid back fabric in a neutral shade such as grey or navy. Wear your blazer with chinos for your off duty look or transfer it to your office line up adding smart trousers and brogues. an hourglass D&GExample Autumnof Winter 2018 figure The Hoodie The name hoodie conjures up images of youths hanging around on street corners with ASBO’s. All this can now be disregarded, as the Article sponsored by this local business athleisure trend of recent seasons has elevated the hoodie to modern classic status. This is another item of clothing to spend on making sure the fabric is super soft and the design slim line, yet sporty. The Printed Shirt Men have been wearing shirts of sorts since the Middle Ages. Starting life as an under garment without cuffs or a collar, it became popular at the end of WW1 when buttons were added at the front for the first time. It is still a staple because it is flattering and adds a smart, structured look. I urge you to give the tailored shirt the attention it deserves - a decorated and adorned style is a wise addition. Capsule wardrobe maybe a term that many of you gentleman cannot relate to, so let’s translate it to Lego bricks. These items of clothing are like your foundations and your base bricks, as you build up you create the adornment and interest. Let the functional also be fun… THIS ARTICLE HAS BEEN WRITTEN BY

Chocolate & Drambuie Truffles 6 tbsp of cocoa powder, 200ml of double cream 1 tsp instant coffee powder, 80g of butter, chopped 4 tbsp of Drambuie, 300g of bitter chocolate, roughly chopped

Method

Prep 60 mins â&#x20AC;ş Plus Chilling â&#x20AC;ş Serves 15 People

Start the truffles by combining the cream and butter in a pan. Place the chocolate in a large bowl. Bring the cream and butter to the boil, then pour over the chocolate. Add the coffee and whisk well

Place the bowl on top of another one filled with ice cubes and a bit of cold water. Whisk the chocolate mixture energetically until it starts to thicken (about 5 minutes) then add the Drambuie

When the mixture is thick enough to hold its shape, spoon into a piping bag. Cover a tray with cling film, pipe 30 truffles onto it then leave in the fridge to set

When set, roll the truffles onto a plate and cover with the cocoa powder. Shake them, four at a time, in your hand to loosen any excess cocoa. Store in a container in the fridge, until ready to serve

GIVE NATURE A HOME THIS WINTER Help give nature a home this winter with ideas and tips from RSPB. Here’s one from their extensive library on www.rspb.org.uk DIG A DAMP DITCH FOR DIVERSITY Many of our gardens are flat, unlike our rising and falling natural landscape. By adding a shallow ditch – (or what’s called a ‘rill’ on our nature reserves), you can create a wider variety of homes for nature. It will mimic natural undulations in our countryside, and give hedgehogs and reptiles a lush byway to travel along, and song thrushes a perfect hunting ground. If you have clay soil, your ditch may form a temporary pond during part of the winter. But don’t worry if it never holds any water, as it’s always likely to have a rather more humid microclimate than open, sun-scorched, flat land around it. You can, of course, start digging when you like, and indeed in autumn the ground may not be so wet. But it’s in winter that you’ll be able to see most clearly where you are going.

Gardening Article Sponsored by

1. CHOOSE WHERE TO DIG YOUR DITCH Make sure you’re not digging along the line of any services, like electricity, sewage or water pipes!It’s really up to you to decide where to put it. You could create it at the far end of your garden. Or be brave and put it alongside a lawn or flowerbed. Just be careful it’s not where someone could trip. 2. MARK OUT THE LINE of your ditch before you start digging. Make it as long as you can - a good minimum length is one metre. You can use tent pegs or piece of garden hose or small bag of sand to mark it out. 3. START DIGGING! It’s up to you how deep you go. About 30 cm (1 ft) is good, but make sure the sides are gently sloping (45 degrees is fine) so that creatures can get in and out and across your ditch.You can use the excavated earth as a bank on one side of your ditch - it uses your spoil and creates another microhabitat.

WRECK IT RALPH 2

MOVIE PREVIEW Release Date: 30/11/18 Six years after the events of the first film, the steering wheel controller on the Sugar Rush arcade game console breaks, forcing Mr. Litwak to unplug the machine. Wreck-It Ralph and Vanellope von Schweetz evacuate all of the Sugar Rush residents to other games before it is shut down, placing the racers in the care of FixIt Felix Jr. and Sergeant Tamora Jean Calhoun. Ralph and Vanellope then use the arcadeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new connection to the Internet to go looking for a replacement steering wheel. While they find a source for a replacement wheel, they need money, leading them to join a free-to-play violent racing game, Slaughter Race, where they meet Shank, one of the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drivers. Vanellope is taken in by what Slaughter Race has to offer over Sugar Rush and Shank becomes a big sister figure for Vanellope, making Ralph concerned that Vanellope no longer looks up to him nor will return to her game. Along the way, the two encounter new customs, worlds, and characters, such as trendy algorithms and the Disney Princess lineup with The Muppets, Star Wars, Disney Animation, Marvel Comics, and Pixar characters. Ralph Breaks the Internet is a 2018 American 3D computer-animated comedy film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures as well as the studio's 57th animated feature-length film. It is the second installment of the Wreck-It Ralph film series

TIPS FOR HOSTING CHRISTMAS Let’s be honest: We all love a good party— especially a good Christmas party. During the holiday season, we often show just how much we love these parties by busting our budgets, all in the name of making our Christmas shindig the talk of the neighbourhood or the office. But if you’re getting out of debt (or filling up your emergency fund), hosting a Christmas party can be a real challenge to your budget. You want to be just as festive as the next guy, but you don’t want to completely derail your money goals. 1. Set your priorities. Before you start spending, make a list of everything you want to buy. Start with what’s most important when it comes to hosting a Christmas party: paper goods, main dishes, appetizers, desserts, drinks, decorations and tablecloths. That way, if your money runs out along the way, you can cut things from the bottom that don’t matter as much and focus on the Christmas party ideas that you really want to do. 2. Keep it manageable. You don’t have to throw an over-the-top, black-tie event for 100 people. Invite 10 friends to your house for a casual potluck dinner instead! You’ll save a lot of money and reduce the stress level of your Christmas party planning. 3. Join in some reindeer games. If you want to throw a stellar Christmas party, you need to have a few Christmas party games up your sleeve. It’s a great way to break the ice and get your guests to mingle a bit. 4. Accent key places. If you can’t afford to deck the halls throughout the entire house, that’s okay. Focus on high-impact, high-traffic areas like the table, mantel and front door. You’ll get

that festive vibe you want without spending a lot of funds or going through a lot of fuss! 5. Look for simple standouts. People love dips, fondues and anything covered in cheese. Keep it easy with crowd-pleasing recipes that don’t take a lot of time or money. And be sure the recipes you choose are easy to make ahead and store in the fridge so you’re not scrambling to cook it all hours before your guests arrive. 6. Shop generic and discount. Chips are chips. Sugar is sugar. Cranberries are cranberries. You get the idea. Save your money for higherquality cheese or a nicer cut of meat and spend less on stuff that’s getting mixed into casseroles and soups. If you love hosting a Christmas party, go for it! But don’t overspend just to keep up with all the hustle and bustle. Ignore the pressure to throw a Pinterest-perfect party

BASILDON Escape Rooms are becoming very popular in the UK and we are very proud to bring the first Escape Rooms to Basildon. Escape Rooms are suitable for Adults and for Children aged 8+. An escape room, also known as an “escape game”, is a physical adventure game in which players solve a series of puzzles and riddles using clues, hints, and strategy to complete the objectives at hand. Players are given a set time limit to unveil the secret plot which is hidden within the rooms. Escape rooms are inspired by “escape-the-room”–style video games. Games are set in a variety of fictional locations, such as prison cells, dungeons, and space stations, and usually the various puzzles and riddles themselves follow the theme of the room. At Escape Basildon we have two rooms currently that can host a total of 14 people. The larger of the two rooms, Overthrone has a medieval theme and like both rooms, benefits from amazing decor and props. The Magic Emporium can host upto 6 people at one time and puts you in a shopping street in the wizard world.

If you’re looking for quality wool, striped, or carpets, commercial carpets and more you’ve come to the right place. We at Carpets Direct were one of the first companies allowing customers to browse our quality carpet selection online and purchase an excellent range of wool and striped carpet. We’re able to uplift and remove old carpets free of charge to make room for your brand new top grade flooring choice. We aim to make sure that purchasing your carpet is as simple and easy as possible. It’s this dedication to our customers that means we have an unrivalled reputation as one of the UKs leading suppliers of commercial, wool and striped carpets. We make sure we stock products for every room and every single one of our lovely carpets comes at great prices. You’ll struggle to find another striped or wool carpet dealer that offers such great services at these prices. Our entire collection is conveniently shown on our site making choosing your carpet a simple process. Compare at your own pace with no high pressure salesmen involved so you can ensure you’re getting the right carpet, at the right price.

Our rooms can cater for families with children as young as 8 and one of our rooms is also wheelchair accessible. We look forward to welcoming you to Escape Basildon, which is NOW OPEN.

All our products are hard wearing so you can be assured that your flooring will last you for years to come. We’re also able to visit you at home or your office with our mobile carpet showroom. This is just one of the many services we offer ensuring that finding your ideal carpet is as easy as can be.
