elcome to our brand, spanking new WEEKEND magazine. With summer here in earnest, we thought it might be time for a change. So while we’ve changed the size – so it no longer takes up the whole of your coffee table – all your favourite features are there, plus more. We’ve packed it full of the latest Father’s Day fashion to keep dads looking dapper, plus your street style and top hair tips. We’ve brought you even more health and wellbeing (and let’s face it, with bikini season looming we all need it), thanks in part to Elle Macpherson, who looks ridiculously good at 50. There’s a sparkling new food and drink section packed with exclusive recipes and Gloucestershire’s best restaurants, plus we’ve tracked down critic Jay Rayner ahead of this weekend’s Cheltenham Food & Drink Festival. And there are heaps of beautiful homes and gardens to inspire you if you’re on a mission to revamp your interior – or your exterior for that matter. Been out and about this week? Check our WEEKEND People pages to see whether we’ve captured you and your

fellow soiree-goers on camera. Or simply sit back with a glass or two of wine and leaf through the super-smart homes in our new property section. There’s a fabulous competition, to win £1,000 of designer clothes, accessories and days out to make you feel like a star. Talking of A-listers, how does your typical Saturday night roll? We’ve asked our contributors this week what they get up to when the sun goes down. With a lively toddler in tow, ours involves heading up to the village pub early evening – just about the whole village congregates there, so there’s always someone interesting to talk to, whether it’s one of the racehorse owners or the girls from the polo yard. And then it’s a Thai takeaway and home. Now that is rock ‘n’ roll. Whatever you’re up to tonight, enjoy it. And please let us know via Twitter or email, or on our website, what you think of your new magazine. We’d love to hear your thoughts.

This issue’s contributors were asked: What do you do on a typical Saturday night?

Jonny Whiley

Lucy Parford

Sali Green

Joyce Matthews

Sue Bradley

Feature writer Jonny Whiley and wouldbe Roger Federer interviewed funnyman Rory Bremner for this week’s issue. You’ll find him, with a group of friends, in one of Cheltenham’s trendy cocktail bars of a Saturday night – although not until he’s finished his latest game of mixed doubles.

Deputy features editor Lucy Parford’s dream Saturday night involves getting her three-yearold into bed any time before 9pm, opening a bottle of red with her photographer husband Nick and getting Pad Thai delivered from Cheltenham’sThai Emerald.

What does columist Sali Green do on a typical Saturday? “I feed my pets and my son, then try and get as much time in bed as possible. I take a meal to my 94-yearold Nanna, try to avoid doing any work, and in sunny weather love to meet friends for drinks or a barbecue. In colder weather I love to get a Chinese takeaway and watch X Factor. Classy.”

WEEKEND designer Joyce dreamed up this week’s fabulous Father’s Day pages. Saturday nights are spent with husband Rod, a graphic artist. “We’ll usually have friends round for supper – I might cook chicken Provencal with some greens from the garden, and do a huge Cotswold cheeseboard. Sunday morning is a bit of a write-off usually.”

Food and farming expert Sue Bradley is passionate about growing her own. “Depending on the time of year I’ll either be up on my allotment, harvesting anything that the slugs have rejected, or settling down in front of a film with my husband and children and a bowl of freshly cooked popcorn.”

Cotswolds supermodel Elle Macpherson talks marriage, motherhood and how to hit the big 5-0 in style

fifty @WeekendGlos

lle Macpherson, all six foot of sun-kissed long lean limbs and a tumbling mane of blonde hair, is earnestly telling an audience of women in Selfridges what it felt like to struggle with a muffin top, fatigue, and finding herself so irritable she shouted at the kids. Frankly, it’s hard to believe the former supermodel’s ever had a muffin, let alone struggled with the resulting flab of pigging out on them, and it’s even more difficult to believe she’s 50 - she had her milestone birthday in March. The big difference between Macpherson - once known globally as ‘The Body’ - and the rest of us mortals who just accept being sleepstarved and stroppy as the norm is that, in true celebrity style, she countered her slump two years ago by creating her own solution, an alkalising greens food supplement. “I just wasn’t feeling my super self and I’d lost the spark which keeps you feel energized and motivated. “My skin was dry, I was gaining weight around my waist, feeling moody, and my joints ached,” confides Macpherson at the launch of her ‘Super Elixir’ in the London store. “I put it down to ageing but then I thought, I don’t like that feeling whatever the cause and knew things had to change. So I got help with nutrition, threw out the ton of tablets I’d been taking daily, and helped create this brilliant alkalising supplement instead.” Without a hint of irony she describes it as “my birthday present to women”. Inarguably, she looks amazing, dressed dramatically in a black top and leather skirt, and even though you know she’s genetically blessed, has nutritionally balanced meals delivered daily to her home, and regular massage and acupuncture sessions to keep her tip-top, it’s still tempting to go and buy a ton of the stuff if it means you might, in a tiny way, emulate her. Also, while she undoubtedly enjoys a luxury lifestyle, which makes you feel as green as her supplement but with envy, in person Australian-born Macpherson emerges as enormously likeable, unassuming, and endearingly open about her happiness in her recent marriage, motherhood, being a stepmother and dealing with unwelcome ageing. She has a house at the luxury

second homes development, the Lakes by yoo near Fairford, and relishes life in the Cotswolds. “Do I look back to how I looked in my 20s? Yeah, just like most women do and I think, ‘Wow, did I really look like that?’ At the time I didn’t realize I was that big a deal and wasn’t so confident even though I pretended to be so cool,” she says with a smile. “I feel better now than I’ve ever felt because I’m older, wiser and truly believe that being strong, inspired and capable is as important as our body shape. “That’s why I truly didn’t have a problem with becoming 50, and I wanted to go into it with grace rather than fighting it. “At this age, of course, you have to make more effort and being fit and being healthy from the inside is really important - if things are good on the inside, it shows on the outside. I just think women today want to look good at whatever age and realise it’s pointless chasing after youth.” Her own youth was certainly charmed due to a fortunate combination of beauty and brains. She modelled from the age of 17, after

deferring a university place to study law, and survived all the demands of the often brutal fashion industry as well as high-octane, jet-setting and partying as her success grew through the Eighties. “I have certainly gone through periods in my life where I haven’t treated myself kindly,” she says drily. “I grew up young. I’ve done everything, I’m no angel and haven’t led a sheltered life. In a sense I’ve experienced everything, partying with Andy Warhol, going to New York’s Studio 54, and meeting Michael Jackson and Diana Ross. “I think I survived thanks to the values instilled in me as a child – a strong sense of family,

Her anti-ageing tip is drinking three litres of water a day, and staying active, she’s a keen skier and off-road cyclist. “I don’t like the word exercise, it sounds like a punishment, I prefer to say activity. Just 45 minutes a day is good and it can just be a walk, it doesn’t have to be a gym session.” But it’s her personal motto which probably reveals most about this woman’s indomitable determination: “I believe that it all works out in the end and if it hasn’t worked out it isn’t the end. “It helps me take one day at a time. “It’s just a question of staying fit and healthy so I can get everything done.”

“

With characteristic savviness, Macpherson, who’d already set up a business so she could profit from her image rather than simply posing for the benefit of others, dismissed feminists who declared it a demeaning label. “I thought great moniker, brilliant for business, I’ll use that, thanks,” she says firmly.

Vicky’s 18-month-old son Spencer lives with Angela and her husband Ron in Stonehouse. “I cannot put into words the difference the wonderful staff at Cotswold Care Hospice made to Vicky, her baby son Spencer and myself at a very tragic and frightening time in our lives,” said Angela. Cotswold Care Hospice at Home nurses helped Angela and her family fulfil Vicky’s wish to die at home. “For Vicky, she had confidence knowing the nurses would not only help with her care but

also to have a natter,” said Angela. “I will always be thankful to them all for helping to make her final days less frightening and less stressful.” Angela, who was Vicky’s main carer and looks after Spencer, received support from the hospice. “I could not have got through it all without their loving support and care both before and after Vicky died. The complementary therapy was a massive help to me. I always feel comforted knowing they are still there for me whenever I need them,” she said. “We know that many people experience their longest, darkest nights when caring for loved ones nearing the end of their lives,” said Jules Eaton, Chief Executive of the charity. “Help us to support them on their darkest nights, whatever the time of year.”

fashion forecast The best su mmer haircuts for 2014...

We check out your style

So summer is upon us and what better way to celebrate than with a pixie, bob, lob or layers... With these simple, stylish nine contemporary haircuts, there’s something for everyone and we are poised, ready and waiting at cream to deliver you an on-trend summer style.

Clare Partington from Gloucester said: “I likeTopshop and I buy my shoes from LK Bennett. I like a mixture of high street and designer wear. Chanel is good for those who are petite and many of their clothes are simple and nice fitting. Colour wise I like blue and blacks.”

The sleek pixie.. Closely shorn at the nape, and working with a slightly longer length on top, it can be side parted and streamlined with just the right amount of edgy product The modern pageboy.. By pushing the heavy fringe to the side, the above the chin pageboy has a cool confidence Side swept wedge.. Tapered chin length layers and a deep fringe styled forward from the crown to softly frame the face The rumpled bob.. It’s a one-length cut, but by razor cutting the ends and leaving them soft and uneven this haircut has an automatic tousled texture Wavy Lob.. A sexy long bob cut to graze the collarbones and left slightly longer at the front, to create interest and drama

Chloe Barnes, 21, from Abbeydale said: “I like River Island andTopshop. Sometimes I buy clothes from Miss Guided online. I follow my own inspiration.”

Frances Clark-Stone, from Stroud said: “I like Anthropologie in London. I order online. That’s where I bought my trousers and top from. I always keep a lookout for trends to keep up-todate.” @WeekendGlos

Bouncy layers.. Blunt cut layers that start below the chin gives the ideal length of just past the shoulders, tons of body and movement The one-lengther.. Layers don’t have to be edgy and irregular to make an impact. Think thinned ends with soft movement and. A strong one length outline Blunt ends.. Crisp, straight across ends can make fine hair look thin and full of life Asymmetrical part.. A low parting and steeply angled ends transform a simple below the shoulder style into an asymmetrical wonder

Casey Ryan, 18, from Abbeymead said: “My favourite shop is River Island and online I often shop at Superdry. I like to follow my own style.”

Take any one of these classic cuts and team them with a flash of colour (Schwarzkopf metallic range in rosè blush or minky cool brown tones ) a simple gloss ( Vibrance gloss and Tone delivers incredible luminous shine) or a simple spritz of Schwarzkopf sea salt texturising spray for that lived in, beach inspired look, and whether you take inspiration from Michelle William’s pixie crop, Emma Stone’s rumpled bob or Rita Ora’s side swept wedge our fab stylists are ready to take you into summer hair heaven!!

GOING HELL FOR

Leather bow ties are becoming all the rage, thanks to craftsman Kingsley Thompson, as Helen Blow found out

RAFTSMAN Kingsley Thompson combines high-tech knowledge with traditional skills to produce beautiful handmade leather goods. He uses digital technology to design the pieces and hand-stitches them to come up with bespoke products. Kingsley only started working with leather 18 months ago, when he made himself a wallet, but since then he has made satchels, belts, dog collars, bow ties and a holster for a barman. He has also just been named one of the runners-up in the Best British Crafter competition. Kingsley, 27, from Cheltenham, formed Kingsley Leather online after the success of that first wallet. “I decided I needed a new wallet but couldn’t find anything suitable in the shops, so I decided to make my own,” he said. “I have always been quite creative and enjoy making things with my hands. I got hold of a few books and ordered the materials I needed online. “People started asking me to make them things. Four or five months after starting, I started up the business.” His leather bow ties are becoming very popular. He has also made a holster for a mixologist, who works behind a bar, mixing cocktails. “He couldn’t find anything suitable to hold his tools so he came to me to get me to design one specifically for him,” said Kingsley. Another piece was a collar and lead for George, the Great Dane, who lives at the Snooty Fox pub in Tetbury. “I think handmade goods will become the new designer goods,” said Kingsley. “People like to know where things come from and my materials are also eco-friendly. “I’m also inspired by the way that leather goods gain character as they age. The leather I use is a by-product of the meat

industry, using skins that would otherwise just go to waste which makes it more ethical,” he said. “That is very important to me.” At the moment the business is just part-time – Kingsley works as a civilian for Gloucestershire Constabulary. He also spends some time as a graphic designer for a small local business. “I enjoy everything I do but I have really found a niche in leather work. I just love creating one-off pieces for people,” he said. He already has customers from all around the UK, as well as shipping orders abroad to places like Australia, the US, India and Italy. ■ Visit www.kingsleyleather.co.uk

The luxurious House Spa has opened at Dormy House hotel, near Broadway. Tanya Gledhill tried the new facial massage hailed as ‘better than Botox’

T looks for all the world like the swankiest Champagne bar – jewel-like bottles of Veuve Clicquot sitting on glass shelves, huge vases filled with white hydrangeas and acid yellow chairs surrounding glossy tables. Except it’s not. It’s the nail parlour at House Spa, Dormy House’s spa, created as part of its super-swish £10 million refurbishment. I could have stayed in there all day. Seventeenth century Dormy House, near Broadway, is all flagstones and inglenook fireplaces, sandblasted beams and quirky modern artwork. And thanks to Todhunter Earle Interiors, it’s like wandering into a very smart Cotswold house party. Especially since the doormen – gentlemen of a certain age – greeted me in their new livery of tweed jackets and burnt orange cords. Most splendid. There are two restaurants – The Garden Room, with stunning views over the manicured grounds, and The Potting Shed,

a rustic, unstuffy ‘pub’, with a proper oak bar and copper bar stools. House Spa opened to much acclaim in February this year, and it’s easy to see why. The Greenhouse is a huge space with a bar in the middle, surrounded by comfy sofas and more floral arrangements. It overlooks a sunny stone terrace and the rolling Cotswold hills beyond. You can eat lunch here or drink juices made from wheatgrass and goji berries, or whatever the latest fad is. Or if your health regime consists of a 10-minute spell in the hot tub and a glass of Champagne, you can do that too. The spa boasts six treatment rooms in the beautifully named Suite of Treats, the Veuve Clicquot Champagne Nail Parlour, a rasul mud room, personal training studio and gym. There’s a well-appointed thermal suite, too, with a lavender infusion sauna sourced from the lavender fields at Snowshill, a hot juniper Finnish cabin, salt steam room, drench showers and, if you’re feeling sadistic, the ice experience.

House Spa offers lots of packages: Twice Lightly if two of you are short of time; Spa Noir – a gents’ spa day – Serious Detox and Night Owls, a 4pm start with treatments and supper in the Potting Shed. There are mum-to-be treatments and Double Truffle, which includes a Champagne and truffles facial. I was there for a Face Pure Massage by cult brand Temple Spa. The hour-long treatment is a step beyond your usual skin treatment – think deep tissue massage combined with holistic therapy. Developed alongside Beata Aleksandrowicz, a London massage expert, it’s billed as “better than Botox”. So is it? Well it just might be. In a perfectly serene treatment room, using rose gold facial oils by Jane Scrivner, my therapist firmly worked my whole scalp, face and neck, the aim being to banish toxins, calm puffy cheeks and lift double chins. It’s recommended you have a course of six treatments to get the full-on Botoxgloucestercitizen.co.uk/weekend gloucestershireecho.co.uk/weekend

My therapist, combining firm massage with more relaxing strokes, worked what felt like most of the 600 nerve points in my face. It wasn’t as relaxing as a regular facial, but the headache I walked in with lifted, and – as promised in the blurb – I slept like a baby that night. Imagine what six sessions could do?

greedy MAN

Critic Jay Rayner loves his food and as he prepares for this weekend’s Food and Drink Festival in Cheltenham, Jonathan Whiley discovers he has plenty on his plate

N case you don’t already know – Jay Rayner is not one to mince his words. As something of a celebrity in his own right, he makes his thoughts on fame pretty clear. So clear in fact that he says he wants to make a point which is “very very clear”. “Anybody who is in the public eye by choice and then whinges about it deserves a good slapping,” he says. “Nobody is forcing me to be on telly or to perform at live events or to do any of that stuff.” I did wonder whether all the forthright views that have earned him a formidable reputation as a restaurant critic and MasterChef guest judge were simply a case of hamming it up for readers and viewers alike. But it soon becomes clear that if anything, he’s playing them down. The main draw at this weekend’s Food and Drink Festival in Cheltenham, I was curious to see how he has adjusted to his new-found status as a member of the gastronomic glitterati. “It’s becoming less strange,” he says of being interviewed by a fellow journalist. “There was a period where I had to get my head around the fact that I was the hunted not the hunter. “It has its odd side. The reality is, and I need to phrase this very @WeekendGlos

carefully, the dynamic of it is not unfamiliar to me. I grew up with it.” His mother was Claire Rayner – the influential former midwife turned women’s health campaigner who died in 2010 at the age of 79 – and Jay admits the business of being in the public eye was never “unfamiliar”. The 47-year-old, a restaurant critic for The Observer, hails from a noisy north-west Jewish family. “I had a very affluent upbringing; it was very privileged. There was money around and I went to one of the best schools in the

country,” he says. “It was made clear to us that we were going to have to work for our own living; that we were not going to be living off the bank of mum and dad. “But it was a very comfortable childhood. My parents came from very meagre backgrounds and I think they were determined never to revisit that on their kids.” Even at an early age he recalls the family “communicating through food”.

The Royal Oak, inTetbury, has been selected as a Sawday’s pub award winner in the Pub with Rooms category, only awarded to places which offer exceptional bedrooms to slumber in alongside first-rate food and drink.

“There were five of us,” he says. “My impression is that once there are three kids in the family then everyone is fighting for dinner. It’s every man for himself. “We were a family of appetites and remain so. The idea that food could become part of my working life always struck me as slightly strange and odd. “I still say that my job is to be a writer. Nobody pays me for how I eat.” Which leads, rather fittingly, to his latest book, A Greedy Man In A Hungry World which forms the centrepiece of his event in Montpellier Gardens today. So presumably I ask, he’s the greedy man in the title? “Yes, the story is from my viewpoint; I am that greedy man. I am a man that enjoys food and all the rituals around food. “Books about food politics tend to be exceptionally finger-wagging. They preach at their reader and they present a dark austere world which seems to have no particular love for food in it.” His book puts forward some views that may cause certain readers to choke on their cornflakes. Farmers’ markets are a perfect example. “The reality is that farmers’ markets are a lifestyle choice for the affluent middle classes,” he says. “I love a farmers’ market but when you listen to people talking about them the things they’ll emphasise is that they like to get the best produce, that they like to pay farmers more and it’s such much more sustainable than the supermarket model. “If you carbon footprinted those small farmers against the larger-scale farmers you would find that their carbon footprints are much larger because of the way they’re working and the indulgences to produce a premium product to sell at

a higher price. That’s fine; there’s nothing wrong with enjoying the aesthetics around food but don’t try to kid yourself that by going to a glossy market you are doing anything for a sustainable farming model. “You may be helping to sustain a small artisan farmer or producer but you’re not doing anything for the wider question of how we feed ourselves in the 21st century. “Buying a £14 chicken from a farmers’ market is no more a challenge to Tesco than buying a Chanel handbag is a challenge to Primark.” His main gripes are that supermarkets have become too mighty and that we’re paying too little for our food. “We need to be willing to pay more otherwise we’re going to undermine our agricultural base; more money needs to go back to farmers,” he says. “Otherwise we won’t be fit to deal with the challenges of the 21st century with a rampageous China and Brazil and Indonesia buying all the produce that we thought for a very long time was our divine right. Supermarkets will have to react in different ways otherwise they’ll see their business disappear.” So what of his thoughts on the restaurant scene in Gloucestershire? “I’m a big fan of Champignon Sauvage and have been of David Everitt-Matthias for a long time, Purslane is terrific. “Didn’t think much of The Tavern. If a waitress says ‘let me tell you about our concept’ and it goes beyond a list of dishes that ‘you choose, we bring’ I don’t want to know.” Like I said – he doesn’t mince his words. * Jay Rayner is at Cheltenham Food and Drink Festival at 1pm today.

Cook perfect pasta Orecchiette con parmigiano, pancetta e basilico Visitors to Cheltenham Food & Drink Festival in Montpellier Gardens can learn to cook authentic Puglian specialities with Ylenia Sambati and her team from Authentic Adventures, based in Stonehouse, in the Chef’s Kitchen today at 11am. Why not try this delicious pasta recipe?

For the pasta 1lb (450grams) semolina flour 200ml tepid water (room temperature – very important)

Method

To make the pasta, make a volcanoshaped well with the flour Add half of the water to the centre of the well and slowly mix the flour into the centre of the well with your hands. Add more water as necessary until the dough comes together. It should not be sticky but moist and soft. Knead for a few minutes until all the flour and water combine to make a smooth dough. Cover with cotton

wrap and let it rest for 15 minutes. To form into orecchiette, roll the dough out into a long snake-like strip about a quarter of an inch in diameter. Cut a strip about half an inch long. With a butter knife (one that has teeth,

What are you cooking this weekend? Tweet Us @WeekendGlos with your dishes

but dull teeth), roll the tooth side of the knife down and over the cut strip of pasta. Turn the curved piece of dough over your thumb to form the little ear. Set aside and repeat until you’ve used all the dough. Serve with thin strips of pancetta and plenty of fresh parmesan – the best you can buy. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Top with aromatic basil leaves. • Authentic Adventures run cooking holidays in Puglia.

RESTAURANT REVIEW

Topoly's waitress Leila Heravi with insalata di polla calda

La dolce vita I

N every high street across Britain you can be almost guaranteed to find an Italian restaurant chain where, with a voucher on your phone, you can eat out for the price of a takeaway. IN every Gloucester is no exception boasting three such ventures within a few minutes’ walk of each other. Yet, just a short stroll away from them is a hidden gem offering so much more for your money. Topoly’s in Southgate Street is unassuming to say the least from the outside – in fact you could easily walk past it without realising it is there. But don’t be fooled by its subtle exterior as

TOPOLY’S

We ate... you make...

Southgate Street, Gloucester 01452 331062 Open daily for lunch and dinner

Rating out of five &&&& portions - these are not for the faint hearted. The cabbage came topped with bubbling cheese and tomato sauce and interestingly mayonnaise. It was absolutely delicious with the cabbage offering a really tasty alternative to pasta. The lasagne also came in a big dish which could almost have served as a main course. It was reassuringly square in shape rather than the identikit round terracotta portions which do the rounds in many places. fter polishing these off, we realised we had perhaps over ordered for the main course given the size of the starters. It is easy to do as there is so much to choose from here from risottos and pasta to steaks and speciality fish dishes. I went for the Speciale Del Chef (£12.80) which was half a chicken marinated in garlic, onions, white wine and lemon juice then chargrilled. It came with roasted vegetables and I ordered a salad. This was the star main course of the night and both my friends admitted to serious food envy. The chicken had already been thoughtfully portioned out and the flavours and juice with the meat were just delicious. My friend went for the main course lasagne (£8.50) which was almost double the size of the starter portion and having also ordered garlic bread

(£3.95) she took one look at the large wheel of doughy loveliness and proclaimed she wouldn’t be able to eat it all. Given the intoxicating smell of the garlic wafting over the table, we didn’t need asking twice to tuck in. Our other friend who had just sprinkled two spoons of parmesan on his Pollo Pomodoro (£12.70) also declared he was reaching saturation point on the food front. This was despite loving the spicy Napoli chilli and tomato sauce enveloping the chicken Needless to say puddings were not an option for us but they had staples such as tiramisu for those who had perhaps not had eyes bigger than their bellies. As we sat chatting away, letting the food go down, I couldn’t help but wonder why this place wasn’t very busy as the food is fantastic and the staff were lovely. It was a midweek night and it was tipping it down but even so, the restaurants at the nearby leisure complex were doing a roaring trade. Topoly’s deserves to be busy and like everywhere if we don’t support these smaller ventures we are in danger of losing them. Today England play Italy in the World Cup and so rather than dial out for that pizza, why don’t you grab a real slice of Italian life before kick off?

NAPOLI SAUCE Ingredients

2 tins best quality plum tomatoes (whole, not chopped) 3 cloves garlic 2tsp dried oregano 1tsp dried marjoram Red chilli, finely chopped, seeds in or out depending on taste Good quality olive oil Dash red wine vinegar Sugar to taste Handful fresh basil l eaves, chopped

Method On a medium heat, fry the garlic, chilli and herbs in olive oil until soft. Add both tins of tomatoes. Stir, being careful not to break up the tomatoes – leaving them whole brings out their natural sweetness. Cover and simmer, on the lowest heat possible, for 1.5 hours. Remove from the heat, break up the tomatoes using a wooden fork or potato masher. Add a splash of red wine vinegar and sugar a teaspoonful at a time, to taste, being careful not to over-sweeten. Season with salt and freshly-ground black pepper. Stir in the chopped, fresh basil and decant into sterilised jars. Sealed, it will keep for a week in the fridge.

Three ways with Topoly’sstyle Napoli tomato sauce • Pizza - reduce on a high heat until the sauce has thickened and use as a tasty base for pizza toppings • Grilled chicken – serve alongside chargrilled chicken and roasted Mediterranean vegetables • Pasta – simply stir into pasta and serve with Parmesan for a veggie main course, or add red onions, ham, a diced red pepper and mozzarella for a tasty pasta bake

Plotting the perfect view

It’s strawberry season – think Wimbledon and Pimm’s on the lawn – and home-grown varieites knock spots off the supermarkets. Grow in 25cm pots filled with John Innes No 3 compost and place them in a sunny spot on the patio. When the flowers are over and the fruits start to form, cover them in insect-proof mesh and netting. And give them a liquid feed once a week in summer with tomato feed.

Home is where the heart is for artist Jeremy Houghton and his family. And the Cotswolds stone cottage they live in is a triumph of colour and style. Helen Blow takes a look inside

HE view from artist Jeremy Houghton’s garden means more to him than just being an iconic panorama of the Cotswold hills. On the horizon at the highest point is the Broadway Tower, which used to be used as a studio by William Morris, a leading member of the Arts and Crafts movement. “This area was a significant place during the movement and many artists came to work or live here, including Morris,” said Jeremy, whose family has lived in Broadway for three generations. Famous for his striking watercolours of flamingos as well as work at the royal residences of Highgrove and Windsor Castle, Jeremy spends time travelling and visiting the places he paints. He was also one of the commissioned artists for the 2012 London Olympics and his recent exhibition in Broadway’s Haynes Fine Art gallery, focuses on horses from the meadows of the Cotswolds to the fields of the First World War. But home is where his heart is and, at the end of the day, he always looks forward to coming home to his picturesque Cotswold stone cottage which he inherited from his grandparents seven years ago and shares with wife, Jess, and young daughters

garden as we’d never be able to keep it under control on our own, but we have designed it so it needs minimal maintenance.” The cottage is surrounded by six or seven acres of land, including the garden, a field beyond where sheep owned by a local farmer graze, and at the front, a wild flower meadow, vegetable patch and orchard. And pecking contentedly are nine ex-battery hens which provide the family with fresh eggs every morning “They have a thing about bright colours like pink or orange and tend to peck at you if you’re wearing them,” said Jess. “That includes a lot of the shoes the girls wear!” Although he obviously appreciates his home, Jeremy is adamant that homes and gardens should be practical as well as beautiful. “Part of the ethos behind the Arts and Craft movement was that things should be useful as well as attractive,” he said. “For example apple and pear trees are often found in Arts and Crafts gardens as they look lovely and also give you food. “And our vegetable garden is kind of like this with its meadowlike qualities.” hen Jeremy and Jess moved into the cottage, they began to restore the building, knocking down walls to make the rooms more spacious and light. “The kitchen used to be two rooms, separated by a wall that was more than a foot thick, but we found a builder who had experience dealing with such walls and he managed to knock it through, creating a big kitchen,” said Jess. Long and thin, the cottage seems to go on for ever, with rooms leading into more rooms and two staircases at each end of the

Honeysuckle and Martha. The cottage started life as the stables and grooms’ quarters behind the neighbouring big house, which was once also owned by Jeremy’s family. They were converted into a cottage in the 1970s and Jeremy’s parents lived there for many years, before moving to another house in the village where Jeremy now has his studio in an old barn. “My grandparents eventually decided to move out of the big house and into the cottage, where they lived for 20 years. “They were very keen gardeners and really made this garden what it is today – many of the plants are quite mature thanks to their work.” Today the garden has a main lawn area, bordered by flower beds – ideally suited to a young family. “When we moved into the cottage after my grandparents died, there were lots of flower beds and only a narrowish path between,” said Jeremy, 40. “We had moved the beds back so that there is far more lawn, partly for the girls to play on and also because it’s easier to maintain.

house. In the kitchen is a solid, wooden butcher’s block, which the couple picked up from a reclamation yard. Its surface is uneven after years of use and the couple use it as a giant chopping board. “I’ve got to know its curves and indentations well now and it is so useful,” said Jess, a primary school teacher. They also made one of the back windows into a door that leads out on to the patio and garden and they try to keep it open as much as possible. “It’s a way of bringing the outside and inside together so the garden feels like an extension of the house,” said Jeremy. “The girls can also run in and out of the garden safely because it’s fully enclosed.” A playroom dedicated to the girls’ stuff leads off the kitchen but, as in any home with young children, their play things end up scattered everywhere around the cottage and garden. “I don’t like to live somewhere that’s too perfect,” said Jeremy. “I like a home to look as if it’s lived in and loved. “I don’t know how some families with young children manage to keep their homes so pristine, it’s not really a natural environment with youngsters around.” A prolific and collectable artist, Jeremy has his paintings hanging throughout the cottage, including many from his time as a teacher in Cape Town. “I love Africa and when I was there took the chance to travel round and see everything it had to offer,” he said. “Like any country it has its different parts, some safe and some not so. I lived there for six years but you don’t have to live long in Africa for it to get under your skin. My time there was hugely influential for me and my work and I am very fond of all the paintings and drawings I did while I was there.” A large canvas he painted while in South Africa dominates one of the walls in the drawing room, where Jeremy has his work desk. “I do my smaller pictures from here and set up an easel behind the desk,” he said. “The girls can run in and out of the room and it doesn’t bother me at all; I love it that I can work with them around.” A grand piano from Jess’ family stands in another corner and, in stark contrast to the Cotswold stone mullions and antique furniture, is a table with two bright blue Perspex chairs. “We inherited them from a relative and I really like the way they catch the light from the window and contrast with the more traditional things in the room,” Jeremy says. Up the wooden staircase are the bedrooms, leading on from each other as you move from one end of the cottage to the other. “They all have the most stunning views from the windows,” said Jeremy. “It is wonderful to wake up to these views; we count ourselves very fortunate to have that.” Around the cottage are all the quirky touches you would expect in the home of an artist; an unusual sculpture here, a wall hanging there; all of them helping to turn this stunning cottage into an individual and fascinating family home.

Anita and Simon Collins’ Avening garden has evolved over time and is a beauty to behold, as Mandy Bradshaw finds out

a T

HE reasons for starting a garden are as varied as the plots themselves. Some people are born with dirt under their fingernails; others come to the joys of growing slowly or by accident. With Anita Collins the impetus was a mixture of grief and too much grass When she and her husband, Simon, first saw their Avening home and its steeply sloping garden, it was the long views over neighbouring countryside that attracted them. Originally they had planned to level the site and build a swimming pool but the uncertain British summers changed their minds. Faced with almost a third of an acre of hillside to mow, Simon suggested Anita made some borders and the garden began. She was encouraged by her mother, who from the start said there was the potential for a garden on the site. “Mum was an amazing gardener, really keen. When she died it was a bit

of therapy to go out into the garden.” The resulting garden has evolved gradually rather than being meticulously planned. “I can’t draw so I couldn’t make a plan. I just throw it all in.” What has developed is a gradual progression from more formal planting near the house, through a cottage style to an as yet untamed area at the top. Containers of every shape and size cluster around the door filled with a mixture of shrubs, annuals and even trees. There is choisya, golden conifers, waiting to be clipped into shape, and Anita’s favourite acer ‘Orange Dream’, bought cheaply as a small plant and now a graceful specimen. Indeed, much of the garden has been created on a tight budget, with annuals sown into any gaps, plants regularly divided and used to extend the display, and others from her mum’s garden. “All these plants mum gave me as

‘dig ups’, explains Anita, pointing to a bed full of hardy geraniums. “I’ve been looking at these since childhood. It’s just part of her.” The bottom of the slope has been dug out to create a sheltered seating area where Anita grows a few salad leaves in a container. Above is a cottage-style mix of herbaceous in shades of pink and purple. Early summer is given over to lupins, alliums and self-sown foxgloves, there’s lavender, peonies, Alchemilla mollis spilling over the paths and the promise of colour from a rash of opium poppies. Set into this are neat domes of box, designed to give winter interest. “It’s so there’s some sort of structure when it’s bare.” Miniature fruit trees alongside the main path also give a year-round framework along with evergreen hebe and heathers. Further up, Anita has built a small, circular patio surrounded by roses, gloucestercitizen.co.uk/weekend gloucestershireecho.co.uk/weekend

including ‘Iceberg’, pink-flowered ‘Lucky’ and ‘Pearl’. Nearby, clematis scramble up obelisks, there are roses over arches and drifts of white dicentra. The original pond is also the site of her very first bed, dominated by a huge phormium, its grey foliage set against clumps of purple ligularia. It is also where she constantly battles against an over-vigorous fern, something her mother warned her not to plant. “Always listen to your mother,” she says ruefully. “Don’t think you know better.” Hot colours are found in the next area where astilbe, bronze phormium, eupatorium, crocosmia and golden sambucus are mixed with dahlias.

The very top of the garden is still a work in progress with plans to make paths through long grass under the trees. Anita may not have planned to become a gardener but admits she is now hooked: “The more I do it, the more I think ‘I love this’. It feels so good when I’m out here.” ■ 18 Star Lane, Avening, near Tetbury, is open for the National Gardens Scheme tomorrow from 2-6pm. Admission is £4. The Old Rectory, Avening, is also open and combined admission is £6.

TAKE HOME

If you love the beautiful foliage of acers but haven’t got room for a tree, try a dwarf, weeping variety. The delicate leaves and graceful habit are perfect as a focal point or contrast to shrubs and herbaceous.

What to do this week

• Thin apple trees by picking off malformed, damaged or diseased fruits • Tie cordon tomatoes to thick stakes standing at least 90cm (3ft) tall and train them up as a single stem, removing side shoots • Treat early infestations of aphids such as greenfly with a soap-based spray • Top-up pond water levels as they fall in warmer weather • Dig out or spot-treat individual weeds from your lawn, such as dandelions • Feed grass with a high nitrogen lawn feed • Open greenhous e doors and vents each morning to keep temperatures down, but close them at night

• Plant out summer bedding in borders and containers once all danger of frost has passed • Train wall climbers by tying new growth into trellis and supports • If you want extra large rose blooms, remove any buds developing at the side of the main terminal bloom on each shoot • Sow endive, swede, beetroot, carrots, kohl rabi, Chinese cabbage and cauliflower for a late harvest

BUYTO LET

the perfect

investment

HELTENHAM is a popular place to live for young professionals and families alike as it boasts the perfect mix of city buzz, rural retreats and suburban life. Not surprisingly it has also been a very popular area for investment thanks to its high rental values and stable capital growth opportunities. Branch manager of letting specialists Perry Bishop & Leaders, Denise Hayward, said: “Cheltenham has already seen an increase in both the number of people looking to move into rented accommodation here and in those considering it for buy-to-let investment. “But demand continues to outstrip supply with approximately seven applicants registering for every available property available.” Two-bedroom terraced houses are proving amongst the most popular for tenants and with average sales prices at around £200,000 and rental incomes at around £850pcm, the yields are around five per cent for these properties.

Denise continues: “Choosing the right property to suit the type of tenant you want is key and the condition of the property is another important factor in obtaining the best rents and increasing your return on investment. “So, getting the right advice on what to buy and whether it needs work to create the right finish to compete with that market place is vital.” For expert, impartial advice on buying-to-let contact the Cheltenham branch on 01242 226999 or visit www.perrybishopleaders.com

•

Research the market

•

If you are new to buy-to-let, what do you know about the market? Do you know the risks, as well as the benefits.

•

Promising does not mean most expensive or cheapest. Promising means a place where people would like to live.

•

Before you think about looking around properties sit down with a pen and paper and write down the cost of houses you are looking at and the rent you are likely to get.

•

Do not just walk into your bank and building society and ask for a mortgage.

•

Instead of imagining whether you would like to live in your investment property, put yourself in the shoes of your target tenant.

•

To compare different property values use their yield: that is annual rent received as a percentage of the purchase price.

•

Most buy-to-let investors look for properties near where they live. But your town may not be the best investment. The advantage of a property close by is being able to keep an eye on it, but if you will be employing an agent anyway they should do that for you.

•

As a buy-to-let investor you have the same advantage as a first-time buyer when it comes to negotiating a discount.

•

Before you make any investment you should always investigate the negative aspects as well as the positive.

•

Buying a property is only the first step. Will you rent it out yourself or get an agent to do it.

Northwood guarantees rental income ACCORDING to its team, Northwood of Cheltenham is number one when it comes to buy-to-let schemes. Not only does it guarantee rent 52-weeks-a-year but also offers instant rent from the day staff meet you. So no hanging around waiting for the tenant to puff out of thin air – you will get paid rent while the search is on for someone to occupy your buy-to-let property, leaving you to put your feet up, safe in the knowledge the money is coming in. That’s why landlords choose Northwood and stick with Northwood. That’s why they’re number one.* Check out this recent review and five-star rating from a very happy and equally loyal landlord that has used and recommended Northwood for the past eight years: “The team at Northwood have rented out my flat for the last eight years. Throughout this time they have been professional and always been prompt to address problems, maintenance issues quickly as they arise. Based in London I was very removed from the market in Cheltenham and Northwood have offered good advice on the local market and good contractors if and when needed. Trustworthy, professional and personable making the rental of my flat very easy” – M Royce *Number 1 in Cheltenham according to the review site allagents.co.uk.

Leslie RankineTaylor filled her Cirencester home with antiques

Bid for Leli’s

treasures

NTIQUES from a Cirencester home form part of a personal collection expected to fetch up to £280,000 at auction on June 24. Among the antiques being auctioned is an early 17th century Scottish oak court cupboard valued at £5,000-£7,000, a pair of George IV silver mugs valued at £1,000-£1,500 and an 18th century continental portrait of a nobleman valued at £2,000-£3,000. The possessions belonged to the late Leslie Rankine Taylor, who died in January. She had been married to Dr Andrew Rankine Taylor until his death in 1972. After several years in Edinburgh, the couple moved to Cirencester and opened an antiques shop. Leslie – or ‘Leli’ as she was known by friends – ran the store on Cirencester’s Dollar Street. The shop was open until 2008, and had occupied two different premises on Dollar Street in its 48 years in business. Leslie finally sold the store six

years ago, almost four years after her planned retirement. Following the sale of the store, Leslie filled her home – The Old Dolphin in Cirencester’s Cecily Hill - with many of the shop’s fascinating antiques. Many of these items now help to make up the collection which will be auctioned in Edinburgh . The valuable collection includes an early 17th Century oak credence table, reputedly from the home of famous explorer Sir Francis Drake, which has been valued at £4,000-£6,000. An early 17th century Scottish oak chair – valued at £2,000-3,000 – will also be auctioned, and is believed to have once belonged to poet Sir Walter Scott. The daughter of a former Bank of Scotland treasurer, Leslie’s own personal treasures are now to be offered to her fellow antiques dealers, and have been valued at £180,000-£280,000. Given her exceptional eye for antiques, there will surely be considerable interest in her own individual collection. Sham Makhecha

Mr Mercedes

Stephen King, £9.99 Stephen King delivers his unmistakable brand of suspense and intrigue in Mr Mercedes, a full-throttle page-turner, and his first ‘hard-boiled detective story’. Recently retired Detective Kermit William Hodges, Bill, is struggling to cope with a normal civilian life after devoting most of it to the police force. What’s even more depressing for him is retiring without catching the

ruthless killer dubbed Mr Mercedes, who had ploughed into a group of people queuing for a job fair using a stolen Mercedes. It’s a departure from the usual horror, supernatural and gore of a Stephen King novel, but it had us hooked from page one.

Blood Whispers

My Salinger Year Joanna Rakoff

LincolnTownley

Fourth Estate, £16.99

Faber & Faber, £12.99

Bloomsbury, £16.99

Simon And Schuster, £9.99

Blood Whispers is the follow-up to Sinclair’s debut SeventyTimes Seven and fans of this ‘fast and bloody’ style will no doubt be thrilled. Keira Lynch, successful lawyer to the down and outs of Glasgow, finds herself embroiled in the life of Kaltrina, a prostitute on the run from a ruthless Serbian gang leader. She is no stranger to unrequited violence, with the tale of her own background unravelling behind her, yet only seems to be getting herself deeper and deeper into a world of lies and corruption in the present. This novel packs a punch.

This is a book for book lovers; not just those who love stories, but those fascinated with peeking ‘behind the curtain’. A memoir spanning a year, it tells of Joanna’s life working in a prestigious literary agency in NewYork in the mid-1990s. Salinger was one of the agency’s biggest clients and, as the year goes on, Joanna begins to form a relationship with him and, more importantly, his fans. Intertwined with this is the story of her personal life: her anti-establishment boyfriend, Don; living on a shoestring; friends getting married and moving away. It’s a magnificent portrait.

Reckless hedonistic highs are nothing new - the success of Martin Scorsese’sThe Wolf Of Wall Street - has been very revealing. But former car salesman LincolnTownley takes it to dizzying heights in his memoir,The Hunger. The biographical book is an honest and unflinching account of the 41-year-old as he hits the depths of his addictions from August 2009 until February 2011 Addiction is ugly. Raw, raunchy and crude at times,The Hunger is a fascinating and gripping read, and anyone who has suffered with addiction can relate toTownley.

The Snow Queen

With his latest novel, the Pulitzer prize-winning author ofThe Hours once more demonstrates his psychological craftsmanship. InThe Snow Queen, the ordinary lives of a few NewYorkers emerge from Cunningham’s pen with skillful ease. Barrett Meeks is 40-ish and yet again unlucky in love when, walking through Central Park, he catches sight of an eerie light in the sky; inexplicably meaningful to Barrett, he begins to question its significance while haltingly seeking his own. A novel for dreamers. @WeekendGlos

NEW

fortunes One minute he’s talking to Noel Edmonds, the next Ed Miliband. Jonathan Whiley doesn’t quite know where he is when he chats to impressionist extraordinare Rory Bremner

NE minute I’m talking to Ed Miliband and the next I’m speaking to Noel Edmonds – interviewing Rory Bremner certainly has its surreal moments. The impre ssionist is one of the country’s best-loved performers and in recent months he’s shown an aptitude for acting as well as comedy with a debut in the West End. Alongside Patricia Hodge and Caroline Quentin, the 53-year-old has starred in Sir Trevor Nunn’s revival of the Noel Coward play, Relative Values. It opened at Theatre Royal Bath last year with Rory in the role of Crestwell, faithful butler at Marshwood Hall. The hall is thrown into disarray when the countess’ son announces he is to wed an American movie star and class divide is placed under the spotlight. Rory admits that he was shocked at receiving the call but

jumped at the chance to get involved. “I met Trevor at a party on his boat 15 years ago and we half joked about doing something,” he says. “Either that or he was half drunk but that’s not likely as he’s not a big drinker. “About 13 years later he got in touch and it was like the shorte st Hollywood pitch ever when Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito starred in Twins. “A call came and I said ‘do you want me to come and re ad for it?’ and he said ‘my boy, I want you to come and play it’.” Initially, Rory admits, it was a terrifying prospect. “I was intimidated by it but you have to realise that the director has faith in you,” he says. “There was a moment where I thought ‘I can’t do this’ but I thought it was such a once-in-alifetime opportunity. “The butler is the person that makes it all happen, he kind of stage manages everything. It’s a very topical play. “We [the British public] are fascinated with the class system of British life – just look at the popularity of Downton Abbey.” He’s full of praise for his co-stars – of Caroline Quentin he says “she’s so warm and

so good” and he praises the “great stage craft” of Patricia Hodge. “John Fortune always told me to listen to the other actors and you’ll know what to say next,” he says. The Edinburgh-born comedian – who bears an uncanny resemblance to former Liberal Democrat leader Paddy Ashdown – first made a name for himself with his near-the-knuckle impressions of Tony Blair. So much so that the then Prime Minister asked him to write his speeches. Back then, his brand of political satire was finding its mark and he won a string of awards for Bremner, Bird and Fortune alongside John Bird and John Fortune. But the father-of-two – who is married to Scottish artist Tessa Campbell Fraser – has taken a back seat when it comes to comedy in recent years. In 2011 he appeared in Strictly Come Dancing and last year he presented quiz show Face the Clock, a programme on Scottish independence and a travel show which saw him embark on a journey around Britain, including the Cotswolds. “I’m just on the border of Wiltshire and Glouce ste rshire in the village of Aldsworth which is often seen as the gateway to the Cotswolds,” Rory says. “It’s not too far from Kempsford. “I feel very lucky where we are. When I tell people it’s not too far from Swindon they always raise an eyebrow. “But it’s beautiful and there are some amazing sunsets and when I went round Britain [as part of his self-titled Great British Views show], I visited places like Bibury which are so pretty and almost gloucestercitizen.co.uk/weekend gloucestershireecho.co.uk/weekend

chocolate box-like.” Since starting out in comedy Rory admits that times have changed – and not for the better. “When I did TV shows often there would be a programme on such as Panaroma with Diana, and then I’d have a couple of days to learn how to speak like Diana,” he says. “Sometimes I do miss that pressure. I think when you get to a certain age, after you pass 50, you lose that a bit, you don’t have that pressure. “With my ADHD propensity it really made me concentrate. We had to write Bremner, Bird and Fortune in three days.” Rory says he’d love to go back into impressionism but fears there isn’t the appe tite for it now. “I’d loved to, but lots of things have changed,” he says. “The re isn’t the same craft, the re is a lot placed on spur of the moment banter. “It doe s make me sad. I think there is a lot of observational comedy and we’re going to run out of things to observe shortly. “It is easy to hire four comedians, stick a camera in front of them and it’s all banter like four mates at the pub. “I think they’ve [producers] become frightened of satire, maybe they think it’s too high brow. “I remember two years ago I sat down with Alistair McGowan and Ronnie Acona and we had an idea for a satirical impressionist show. And I mentioned the P word as in politics and the atmosphere suddenly changed, you could feel the temperature drop.” Plus he says the challenge is so much greater with not as many “characters” in the public eye. “There aren’t the same characte rs now. You have Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage,” he says, mimicking the UKIP leader. “At the mome nt the y’re among the most popular. “All the rest are just grey career politicians such as Andrew Lansley and Phillip Hammond. “I was recently at the funeral of Tony Benn, someone who I had a close friendship with and really valued. “We share d the same se nse of humour, that of a schoolboy and we we re able to che w the fat.” Away from politics, Rory is still honing his impressions which will inevitably feature as part of his ‘audience with’ event at Lords of the Manor in Upper Slaughter. “It’s an intimate evening,” he says. “ It’s a chance for me to talk a little and for people to ask questions and share stories and anecdotes. I do quite a few book festivals and there’s a very different atmosphere. “It’s not like stand-up where you get on a stage and people are essentially saying ‘make me laugh’, there’s not that kind of pressure. “It’s a chance for pe ople who have followe d your work to ask questions and have a conversation, whether that’s about Noel Coward, David Frost or the opera. Noel Edmonds I found difficult at first because I thought his voice was quite dull but then I realised there was this constant chuckle in the background,” he says. “Nelson Mandela was tough too until you realise which part of the county he was from. I’m working with a dialect coach at the minute on learning new accents such as Ed Miliband.” At this point he bursts into an impression which lasts for a good minute. He’s in his comfort zone once more and those in his company, on this experience, are in for a treat.

THE FULL MONTY, EVERYMAN THEATRE WHEN The Full Monty film was released in 1997 it was a huge hit for Robert Carlyle and his five stripping companions from Sheffield. A musical based on the story, but set in America, followed and it will be this that actors from Cheltenham Operatic and Dramatic Society will perform on stage of the Everyman Theatre next week. This time it is six steelworkers from Buffalo who decide to throw off their clothes as part of a dance routine when they lose their jobs. Low on cash and prospects, the men agree to present a strip act at a local club after seeing their wives’ enthusiasm for a touring company of The Chippendales. However, their show will be better because they intend to go ‘the full monty’ and strip all the way. Despite being a comedy, the show touches on subjects such as unemployment, fathers’ rights, depression, homosexuality and obesity and is peppered with a toe-tapping musical score.

Performances run from Tuesday to Saturday at 7.30pm with a 2pm Saturday matinee. Tickets cost from £13 to £19 from 01242 572573 or online at www.everymantheatre.org.uk

In Shakespeare’s 450th birthday year,The Players’ mainly alfresco tour will see them step on stage for more than 30 performances of the great tale of superstition, ambition and retribution. Suitable then that it should be performed in Britain’s oldest galleried inn – a venue where it is believedThe Bard’s own company

performed in Elizabethan times. Artistic director Michael Dyer, who also plays the part of Duncan, said: “It is one of Shakespeare’s darkest and most powerful plays and his shortest tragedy and takes the audience on a roller coaster ride from a ‘blasted heath’ to a Scottish castle and a moving forest. “Three weird and mysterious sisters, a ghost-ridden banquet, murder, prophecies, visions and spells all meld together in a swirling cauldron of seat-edge drama.” The show starts at 7pm and tickets, costing £14, are available on 01452 522177

THE

final word COLUMNIST SALI GREEN

met Naif – Nana Afua Pierre – through a friend and immediately felt drawn to her warm and gentle presence. She was born in London and moved to Ghana at the age of six and spent the majority of her childhood and teen years there before settling in Cheltenham with her husband, whom she met at university, and their son. We got talking about art and Naif offered to do a portrait of me, my son and our dog as I had told her I’d like to write about her and add her to the Creative Spirit section of my website. The idea of a portrait sounded fascinating, so along she came to sketch and photograph us and has been sending me work-inprogress photos all along. It has evolved and seemed to have a life of its own since the very early stages. Each time she sent an update we had an email exchange, and that in itself has been interesting for us both. We found out more about each other: as the painting grew, so did our friendship. Naif mainly works in oil, ink, watercolour and gouache. Her influences are from artists around the world, including Frida Kahlo and Sami Bentil. Her work articulates a love for human form and expression juxtaposed against the mechanical and man-made. She is inspired by everyday life, social justice, faith and gender. As well as all this talent, what I love about Naif is how humble she is about it. “My work is the distortion moving closer to the reality,” she tells me. “If I can get 90 per cent representation, I’m happy.” She appreciates it when someone believes in her talent. Completely un-big-headed, she loves art so much that she’s giving herself seven years to get good enough to be accepted into the Royal Society of Portrait Painters, and 10 years to win the de Laszlo prize. Naif believes that even if she doesn’t achieve those, she’ll have loads of fun trying. Doing this project has allowed Naif to share her aspirations out loud and she enjoyed the experience, which incidentally she worked on over the past couple of months in China while out there with her son and her husband for his job. Naif wrote to me: “In some Islamic thinking, they don’t do portraits because it’s like an attempt at recreating God’s creations. In a way I get that, because I can’t replicate amazing things like movement or split second moments between people, or the different facets of your character. I love how your son relates to you; I think that’s what I really want to get right.” She also told me that the Adinkra symbol in my mask - boa

@WeekendGlos

me na me mmoa wo - means ‘help me and I will help you’. She associates it with the ethos of my work, saying it’s my calling. So I hope you enjoy hearing the story behind it. I think she really has captured us and our connection and I can feel the love in it – not only between me, my son and the dog but also the love that has gone into creating it. It is truly special to me and I wish Naif every success in her future. Nana Afua Pierre takes commissions for portraiture.

my ideal

WEEKEND...

NELL GIFFORD

GIFFORDS CIRCUS What will you do?

I would probably take the children out riding or go out on our bikes together. If the weather is good I’ll often do some gardening or go for a swim in a pool or river.

Who will you spend it with?

By choice it will always be with my husbandToti and my children, Red & Cecil (pictured).

What will you read? The Sunday papers.

Will you watch TV and, if so, what will you watch?

When we do get a chance to sit down, we’ll often plump for creative programmes like Grand Designs.

What’s in your fridge?

As we supply Circus Sauce, our travelling restaurant with the circus, we have plenty of fresh home grown produce, lots of salads, homemade hummus etc, and we make a lot of fresh juices.

What will you eat? Will you go out or stay in?

With a pretty busy life we like to stay in as much as possible and invite friends and family over. What we eat is very similar to what we serve in the restaurant – uncomplicated food made with as much of our own produce as possible from vegetables and herbs, to the meat. Rearing our livestock guarantees the welfare and origin of our meat too.

Any places you’d visit?

We love Whichford Pottery andThe Fox at Barrington. @WeekendGlos

What time will you get up and go to bed?

That all depends on whether we’re on tour or not. Everything gets a little turned on its head during the season as our weekend becomesTuesday and Wednesday. Ideally I’d like to get up late and have lots of baths.

How often do you get to experience your ideal weekend?

It doesn’t happen often. When our weekends move to mid-week, there are advantages and disadvantages. It’s a lot quieter for shopping but harder to meet up with friends and family. From May to September we regularly buy the Sunday papers and read them on a Wednesday, which is the most relaxed day of the week.TheThunders tour is now in full swing so the ideal weekend is hard to have but I try to make the most of my mid-week weekends.

Giffords Circus is at Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire, until Monday, when it moves to Waterperry Gardens, also Oxfordshire. It’s back in Gloucestershire on July 17. www.giffordscircus.com
