November is an important month of remembrance. With the Royal British Legion’s annual Poppy Appeal and this year marking 100 years since the end of WW1, we have looked back at the history of how Anna Guérin created the first poppies to raise money. Christmas is fast approaching so we have looked at the best alternative advent calendars on the market for those who would like to do a countdown with a difference! Joe Wicks shares a couple of recipes from his new cookbook to help us stay healthy in the lead up to the festive period, and for those wishing to get organised we have included a Christmas gift guide.

Just 20 inches of hot coals lie between you and the experience of a lifetime when you sign up for the Diverse Abilities Firewalk Challenge, taking place on 17 November at Tower Park, Poole from 4pm – 6.30pm.

This adrenaline-fuelled experience will push your boundaries and challenge your perceptions, making for an unforgettable evening. Some explain the experience as walking on eggshells, others as walking on hot sand… each walker has his or her own experience. What will yours be?

Fearless firewalkers must be 14 years or older and there is no need for any training as you will receive a full safety and training briefing on the night. A complimentary goody bag will be provided, plus a free meal voucher for Nandos.

You can sign up to the Firewalk Challenge for just £20 and all the charity asks is that you pledge to raise as much as you can to support children and adults living with disabilities in the county.

Find out more at www.diverseabilities. org.uk/firewalk or call Amy McBrayne on 01202 718266.

Hampshire based McComish Insurance Brokers, part of the A One Insurance Group, has launched a new aviation division to specifically address the insurance and risk management needs of aircraft.

James McComish, who heads the team, said: “MCCIB are well known for bespoke solutions and the new division represents significant expansion for us as an independent broker. It has developed in response to requirements for policies which address aviation cover, from commercial business through to private planes and flying schools.”

MCCIB forms part of the A-One Insurance Group and from their head office in Ringwood (one of six regional offices) a team of more than 120 insurance specialists work for people seeking cover for everyday personal requirements, commercial risk management or bespoke schemes. A-One Insurance Group is also well known for an active and thorough community engagement programme.

A-One Insurance Group is an award-winning business and one of the top 75 independent UK commercial insurance brokerages.

LEWIS-MANNING: SEEING IS

BELIEVING SOIREE

E D U C AT I O N

Seeing is believing – and seeing the wonderful work carried out by Lewis-Manning Hospice was part of a hosted VIP corporate evening, in association with Superior which sponsored the evening.

GROUP Bournemouth Collegiate School is set to become part of an international education group to further develop its academic expertise and co-curricular opportunities available to pupils.

BCS will join the Bright Scholar group as the first and flagship site in the UK where the new partnership will bring additional investment and improved outcomes for the staff and pupils.

Russell Slatford, Headmaster of BCS, said, “This is a wonderful opportunity for BCS. As a school, we have enjoyed several years of improving results, a top ‘excellent’ rating from the Independent Schools Inspectorate last year and interest from families that has never been higher. With the backing of Bright Scholar, BCS will therefore be able to build on the outstanding education we currently offer.”

Enjoying both the fine late summer weather and Sun Rum cocktails, wine and canapés, guests toured the facilities accompanied by trustees and the fundraising team.

It was an opportunity to meet staff and patients and gain first-hand insight into what goes on at the hospice. The tour took in all aspects of the hospice, day care, palliative care, as well as the gardens and breath-taking views across Poole Bay in the sunshine.

CEO Elizabeth Purcell explained that the hospice is such an integral part of the local community and needs money to survive. “We want to encourage businesses to think strongly about what they can do to support this vital resource. The hospice is asking firms to support us in any way possible – be that by organising a dress down day or by taking part in one of our events – all support is always greatly appreciated. Once people see what goes on at the hospice they believe they can make a difference.”

CAN C ER CAR E Divisional Directors, Gavin Harris and David Hardwick have successfully completed their charity ride from the Southampton branch of Goadsby to Paris in only 24 hours.

Gavin commented “We are both delighted that we managed to make the 225 miles within the 24 hour deadline, but what is more astonishing is the amount of money that has been raised and support that we have received from our sponsors, the public, our friends and family. We have managed to smash our £3000 target and are now just shy of £5000, all of which goes directly to our chosen charity Dorset Cancer Care.”

David added, “Over the last five months we have trained hard, which certainly helped, but we both strongly believe that the sponsorship money raised spurred us on to complete the ride! The challenges we faced included a late night ride along the seafront from Brighton to Newhaven port, a 5:30am very cold start in France and some very large hills to climb leading up to Paris.

Not even mentioning the busy ride through Paris city centre!”

Goadsby, Gavin and David, would like to thank all of the support received throughout this event. Donations can still be made at www.justgiving.com/fundraising/ goadsby24hrcharityridetoparis

LO CA L EN T R EPR EN EU R R AISES £2,0 0 0 FOR CHARITY Damien Lee, Founder of Bournemouthbased noodle brand, Mr Lee’s Noodles, has raised £2,000 for cancer charity, The Movember Foundation after beating cancer twice himself.

Along with a team of 17 fellow bikers, Damien Lee donned his finest attire to take part in The Movember Foundation’s Distinguished Gentleman’s BournemouthPoole Ride. In total, the team led by Damien raised over £6,000 of their £1,000 goal.

Damien first discovered he had late stage 4 chest and stomach cancer in 2015 when an X-ray revealed the disease had rotted away six of his ribs. After being told he had just weeks to live and determined to live a long life for his two young children, the single dad adopted a raw food diet as he underwent 16 rounds of chemotherapy. Now, having recovered from throat and neck cancer and being given the all-clear, Damien has become a campaigner for men’s health.

Damien commented: “Taking part in The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride is just a small part of what needs to be done to raise awareness of men’s health. Too often we bottle up our mental and physical health problems resulting in far too many unnecessary deaths. After battling cancer twice myself, I rode in memory of a longtime friend who I lost to cancer recently.

I’m so pleased to have doubled my goal of £1,000 for such a worthy cause.”

U S I N G A LO CAL R E M O VA L F I R M

INTERIOR IDE AS FOR 2019: OCEAN TRENDS

Steve Webber, Director of Maidmans Moving & Storage in Poole, has many years of experience within the moving and storage industry. Mr M, of Bournemouth asked, “Why should I use a local removal company?”

Katie Thomas, Design Director of KTM Design and Regional Director of the Society of British and International Design (SBID)

Steve replied: “It is always advisable to use a local British Association of Removers approved removals company, because they conform to a high standard of service and follow the BAR’s Code of Practice.

As a versatile Interior Designer working on residential, commercial and hospitality projects, I find it interesting to see how current interior trends and design ideas can be applied uniquely to different types of projects. I have just completed the new Chicken and Blues restaurant in Winton, (which is now open for business), have started design work on the complete refurbishment of a Bournemouth nightclub, am designing a new office in Poole and working on some high-end residential projects in Canford Cliffs. Although these projects are all totally different, they are linked by the consideration of current and future design trends. These links could be through the use of colour, pattern, texture, materials, furniture or even lifestyle, cultural or economical influences.

You can be assured that all staff will be properly trained with sound knowledge of the local area and conditions, with all vehicles well maintained and licensed.

Buying, selling and moving home can be one of the biggest and most stressful events in your life. You may consider moving yourself but never underestimate just how big a job this could be. The safe relocation of furniture, clothes, electrical and personal items etc. is a time consuming and difficult job, especially if it is something you are not used to doing”.

I’m sure you have noticed the huge trend in patterned tiles over the last couple of years. In 2019, there will be a new wave of tile shapes taking surfaces by storm. Keep a look out for coloured fish scale tiles in kitchens and bathrooms, both in the home and hospitality environments. The focus is on tiles that have more fluid forms, with rounded edges and irregular shapes.

Hexagons have been popular for a while now, and are still a simple but effective way of adding interest to a wall.

You’ll see that the fluid, ocean trend is also applied to furniture, with arm chairs and sofas having a scalloped back to them. Keep a look out for these curved, wavy and ocean-inspired pieces.

Steve added: “Maidmans have experienced unforeseen delays, such as a house sale not completing as anticipated, or keys not being exchanged on time. Should you face a delay overnight or over the weekend, we have local secure storage facilities or we can keep your possessions on our vehicle overnight, at our secure premises under CCTV surveillance. Our insurance cover for your goods runs from the start to the finish of the removal.

Maidmans receive 80% of our new business by referrals.

At Maidmans, we think there are plenty of good reasons why it’s worth going local!”

For more information about how KTM Design can help you with Interior Design and Space Planning or to book your complimentary design consultation, please call Katie on 07402779973 or email katie@ktmdesign.co.uk

RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY UPDATE FOR DORSET At the frontline of housing in the Dorset area, our experienced Residential team have been busy throughout the summer supporting local residents to buy and sell their property.

Notoriously a slow period for property movement, this holiday season has in fact seen a significant increase in enquiries to both Dutton Gregory offices, leading to further growth within our Residential team in Bournemouth.

We are pleased to announce the return of Caroline Crutcher, Chartered Residential Property Executive, who has confidently stepped back into her role after a recent maternity leave.

Also well settled and already supporting our expanding client base is the newest member of our Bournemouth team, Chartered Legal Executive Helen Phillips. An esteemed Residential expert, Helen offers a wealth of local market knowledge to assist clients and referrers alike. Despite only joining us in July, Helen has already received excellent feedback for her strong work ethic and attention to detail.

I wish to thank [Helen] and the team for overseeing the sale and for acting in a most professional yet friendly manner. I was pleasantly surprised at the reasonable costs of acting for me in the sale.

Dispelling myths about flats insurance featuring information on your frequently asked questions.

Whether your room is small or spacious, fitted furniture can provide you with so many ways to minimise clutter and create a calm living space.

One area which often needs clarification from our Property clients is the communal areas within the block and its contents.

By utilising the ceiling height together with the whole wall, you can optimise up to 50% more storage through fitted furniture than freestanding.

The Insurance policies that we offer as a broker include a minimum of £25,000 for contents for the communal areas. A common question we get asked is “What are communal areas and what would be covered?”

By designing furniture just for you, it is possible to solve specific storage problems. It is worth taking the time to consider exactly what you need and getting this right at the design stage – as our furniture lasts a long time!

Communal areas are areas within a block of flats or an estate which all residents have a right to use and for which the Residential Management Company or Freeholder is responsible. These include communal hallways, shared stairways, landings, pathways and surrounding grounds.

If you have invested in a loft conversion or re-modelled your interior space, every nook and cranny can be utilised with angled doors to work with any sloping ceiling. Make your awkward space work for you!

Some blocks of flats have larger communal areas for both internally and externally where they will have items such as tables and chairs, benches, pictures, rugs and plants which would all be covered under this insurance subject to an insured peril being the cause of a claim.

Once your design is sorted, you can create a contemporary modern look with the new materials that are now on offer. Tantalising names such as Cosmos Grey, Boston Concrete and Grey Nebraska Oak! However, bear in mind that less is more. Keeping it neutral and adding colour through accessorising the room is the best way to ensure your investment adds value to your home.

Another question which we are frequently asked is “What is an insured peril?”

An insured peril is a source or cause of damage or loss which is covered by your insurance policy which includes Fire, Theft/Attempted Theft, Escape of Water, Accidental Damage, to name but a few.

You can achieve all of the above without going too far! We are based in Ferndown and welcome you to our showroom to help you decide what would work best for you.

Fantastic, Friendly Agents. We have been with Churchfield for 7 years as private renters. We cannot fault their level of professionalism and response to queries. Keep up the good work girls.

I recently used Churchfield to find tenants for my flat, after trying several other local agents without success. Within days they had found suitable tenants and made sure all my requests were followed to the letter. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for their promptness and professionalism.

TA L K I N G B U S I N E S S | Q UAY H O L I DAYS

Do you remember your first time?

Seated at a beachside café this morning, I couldn’t help but overhear the conversation between two couples sat enjoying

the

sun, cappuccinos in hand as their children played happily in the sand. “This really is beautiful”, one said. Their friends concurred, staring out at the Harbour and the Wareham channel beyond. The husband went on, “...and the next time I come down I’m definitely going to hire a boat and get out on that”, gesticulating at the sparkling water before us. I was suddenly struck with the thought that this family could have been us, 15 years ago, when we began exploring this region, and fell in love with Poole for the first time.

Wherever you choose to live, life has a habit of getting in the way – the school runs, the early starts, the late finishes all conspire to drag us away from the very reason we chose to make our homes by the sea. At Quay Holidays, we’re always at our busiest when everyone else is taking a well-earned break. When our guests are enjoying the bountiful recipe of sunny strolls, outdoor events and delightful eateries, we’re more likely to be cursing the traffic, en-route to service one of our more far-flung holidaylet properties. If we do see the sea, it’s usually in second gear!

So today is a day to remember. To remember why we are here, doing what we’re doing, in a place that we love. As I stride the old lifting bridge, I cast an admiring eye over the old tugs that still moor alongside Sydenhams.

From there to Harbour Reach and the footbridge to Hamworthy Park beyond.

There’s a camaraderie amongst the early risers, the dog-walkers and joggers, a combined sense that we’ve all made the effort, and by God it’s worth it! Stopping at Hamworthy beach, I reach for my ‘phone and take a ‘pano’ for my teenage daughter – evidence for the doubtless still-snoring that here is something not to be missed. When I reach the Lake Road slipway I pause to chat to a lady whose spaniels were enjoying the water every bit as much as the human bystanders. “Isn’t this beautiful?!” she enquires. “Absolutely”, I respond. Everyone is more friendly when the sun shines – a beautiful day here just has to be shared.

Five of the best places for a digital detox For a relatively small island, Britain has a surprising number of places where you can switch off and zone out. From spa towns and health resorts to evermore remote pockets where, try as you might, it’s just not possible to get online; there’s no shortage of hideaway locales.

Hot on this trend and accessible within as little as a two hour drive from London, the region along the south coast of England which incorporates Hampshire and Dorset are particularly rich in places to disappear thanks to some gorgeous National Parks, Areas of Outstanding Beauty and a desire for a slower pace of life by those who call it home.

Best for… a cabin in the woods Surrounded by stunning Dorset countryside, Loose Reins in Shillingstone is a picture-perfect spot where you can either choose to shut down and forget the world outside or embrace it wholeheartedly. With three uniquely designed cabins overlooking Blackmore Vale, no one would dispute the value of simply kicking back with a pile of good books; however, if you want to use your digital detox as a means to reconnect with nature, you can trail ride, taking in the views and trekking forest pathways at a relaxed pace on horseback.

Best for…treetop views When you arrive at Chewton Glen to experience their digital detox package you’ll be offered the opportunity to relinquish all modern technology for the duration of your stay so that you can enjoy the New Forest in full and true tranquillity. Whether you take up that offer or not, the chances are you’ll come away revitalised as the package includes various treatments, Nordic walking, yoga and meditation sessions and various gifts to take away include a daily journaling diary and adult mindfulness colouring book. Not forgetting two nights full-board in a treehouse studio, 35 feet above ground, with forest views and an outdoor hot tub to bask in nature’s glory.

With yurts, bell tents, tipis and shepherd huts to escape to – all with their own private deck for privacy and seclusion – the star of the show is the Woodsman’s Treehouse, winner of a RIBA award for Small Project of the Year, which has also appears in several TV shows including George Clarke’s Amazing Spaces and Grand Designs.

It’s an anniversary for MC Plan & Site Services MC Plan & Site Services is delighted to celebrate its fifth anniversary this month.

The multi-award winning company was formed in September 2013 by Mark Cook who had previously worked for both the NHBC and Local Authority Building Control for many years. He has drawn on his expertise to develop, then grow MC Plan & Site Services to become the success it is today.

MC Plan and Site Services has grown exponentially and in its five short years has experienced rapid growth with work ranging across both public and private sectors, to cover overseeing refurbishments of existing office buildings and homes, and much larger entertainment venues and commercial premises, offering advice and problem solving along the way.

Today they have grown the team to 28 (including 3 consultants) and moved premises twice already, with more staff in the pipeline and another move anticipated for early next year to accommodate their ever expanding work force. With the increased staff numbers, comes an increased demand for vehicles. In 2016 they invested in a fleet of 5 new Nissan Qashqais and this year saw them invest in a fleet of 5 state-of-the-art Toyota C-HR Hybrids plus another 3 livered vehicles.

Instructions in the past five years have gone from just 94 in the first year to an estimated 2,845 by the end of this financial year, in December.

From humble beginnings operating just within the Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch conurbation, they now operate UK wide - from the southern tip of Britain, across to Kent and up as far as Wales and Yorkshire, increasing their boundaries all the time.

“The latest two investments to the business are a new updated website which went live last month and a bespoke quotation system which makes the whole process from start to finish much slicker.”

MC Plan & Site Services act as a ‘one stop shop’ encompassing all building control services under one roof in an efficient and cost-effective manner. They work closely with all parties involved throughout the process including the application submission, planning assessments, site inspections and completion of works and have very quickly become a leading firm of Independent Building Inspectors in the UK. The company is licensed and regulated by the Construction Industry Council to carry out building control throughout England and Wales.

information on MC Plan & Site Services and a full list of their services.

Mark’s strong professional reputation precedes him, and the MC Plan & Site Services team aim to always provide a personalised and professional building control service to all clients - regardless of size and value.

Mark said, “These past five years have seen us go from zero to smashing through the targets we originally set.

We’ve chosen our staff wisely and I’m confident that we have a great team as well as a dedicated working ethos in the office. With the in-house training programmes and personal development we have introduced, I know that we have another exciting time ahead of us, especially given the amount of redevelopment that is going on in this area alone. We’re relishing the next five years to see what more opportunities will abound.

The site occupies a spectacular natural wooded setting presiding over Poole Harbour, with views to Brownsea Island and the Isle of Purbeck beyond. Conceived from the concept of ‘organic architecture’, the design amplifies the harmony between the dwellings and their settings. The house design complements the sylvan setting allowing the occupants to feel at one with their environment.

Experience the best of Florence without the crowds The Renaissance city is calmer in autumn, but still buzzing with artistic activity, says Sarah Marshall.

Proudly fanning their tail feathers, peacocks parade around the rims of ceramic plates for sale in Florentine shop Sbigoli Terrecotte. Along with plump pomegranate kernels and emerald green hills dotted with Cyprus trees, the scene is one of many traditional Tuscan designs revived and replicated by Antonella Cini and her daughter.

Dating back to 1859, the small store tucked between medieval towers on Via Sant’Egidio, is one of the few surviving examples of the artisanal entrepreneurship that helped Florence blossom into one of Italy’s most prosperous and forward-thinking cities.

Hidden away at the back, a small workshop stacked with paint palettes and kiln-baked earthenware is proof of the labour and love invested in each piece - a refreshing alternative to the mass-produced products crowding so many high streets today.

Architecturally beautiful and spewing with history, Florence could easily be classed as a museum piece.

But beyond its gilt-framed masterpieces and glorious stucco facades, there’s a living, breathing community still pulsing with energetic activity.

If you want to appreciate the past while having some present-day fun, try these essential Florentine activities...

Eat tripe at Cibreo Celebrity chef Fabio Picchi has built a gastronomic empire in a busy corner of Sant’Ambrogio, not far from one of the city’s biggest fresh food markets, San Lorenzo. In 1979, he opened Il Cibreo - a fine-dining brasserie decorated with velvet seats and mirrorbacked bars - and has since expanded with the more economical Cafe Cibreo opposite, a noodle bar, a fastfood ravioli outlet and a mobile lampredotto (tripe) trailer. His food is quintessentially Tuscan - liver pates, chicken meatballs and oil-soaked peppers - and the atmosphere is lively day and night. Visit cibreo.com.

“It’s getting much harder to find terracotta masters,” laments Chiara, who helps run the shop with her parents and sister. “As generations change, the knowledge is dying. It’s hard, but we still love what we do.”

Brunelleschi’s magnificent cathedral dome, Florence played a significant role in shaping Italy’s culture and commerce. In the Middle Ages, Dante Alighieri created a blueprint for the modern Italian language with his epic narrative poem Divine Comedy, and in the mid15th century, Lorenzo Ghiberti sparked the Renaissance movement with his innovative, three-dimensional designs for the Baptistery doors.

Stock up on potions at Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella Originally concocted by Dominican monks in the 14th century, rosewater produced on these premises is now sold worldwide. Nothing, though, compares to visiting the original shop adjoining the monks’ cloisters, where wooden cabinets stocked with glass bottles reflect an original 17th century design. A museum tells the story of the company, and there’s also a cafe to sit back and enjoy the surroundings. Visit smnovella.com.

Drink an aperitivo at Procacci The smell of truffle is deliciously overpowering at this postage stamp-size bar and delicatessen in the downtown city centre. Their famous tartufo panini are best served with a glass of prosecco - either at the bar or huddled around stand-up tables. Founded in 1885, the company once supplied truffle delicacies to the king; expect to find anchovies, artichoke cream and foie gras flavoured with the ‘Tuscan gold’. Visit procacci1885.it.

collection,

this

fashionable, white-themed property pays homage to Italy’s 1950s cinematic sirens. Overlooking the Ponte Vecchio (bridge), it’s in a prime position for exploring major landmarks, such as the Uffizi Gallery and Gothic Cathedral - although from the peaceful rooftop bar where breakfast is served, crowds of tourists disappear into a distant hum. Early morning, the open-air space is an ideal place to sip a cappuccino as swallows flit overhead, and at night, it’s a cool, breezy spot to enjoy a cocktail. Visit lungarnocollection.com.

Admire art at the Uffizi Originally built as offices for the government judiciary in the 16th century, Italy’s most popular art gallery opened as a museo (a place for the muses) in 1769.

The showstoppers here are undoubtedly Botticelli’s triumphant The Birth of Venus and Primavera - but don’t dismiss less well-known works. Unfortunately, there’s no quiet time to visit, so booking timed tickets online is recommended. Visit uffizi.it/en/the-uffizi Pose for pictures at San Miniato Perched on a hilltop a 20-minute walk from the Ponte Vecchio, this 1,000-year-old church is a fine mish-mash of Romanesque and Byzantine styles. Turn up when the monks are singing vespers and it’s a peaceful place for contemplation too. Outdoor terraces command fine panoramic views of the city and shimmering Apennine mountains in the distance, and are less busy than nearby favourite photo-stop, Piazzale Michelangelo. Follow the road down to San Niccolo - a bohemian neighbourhood on the south bank - and enter one of the ancient stone gates to find a huddle of modern galleries and artisanal boutiques.

We all think we know what goes to make a great kitchen.

Here is some useful information from the experts at Portman Stone.

What factors should I take into account when planning my new kitchen?

We supply directly to many single customers and large contractors and developers. We have also been nominated and invited to install Stone worktops on Cruise ships and the Champagne and Oyster bar at Heathrow Terminal 2.

The Design and layout. Is the kitchen for an immaculate display or are you a keen cook and require additional working surfaces with an Island incorporating the Hob. Do you wish to have a Peninsular Breakfast bar or will you dine formally. Is your kitchen far from the refuge bins with their fortnightly collections or should you incorporate a waste disposal unit under the sink. Would you like a pop up electrical socket incorporating a USB charger / work station.

Why use Quartz or Natural Granite Worktops

Quartz is the perfect choice for those looking for quality, style and durability. Quartz countertops offer the very best of style and functionality. Quartz is man made engineered stone and combines the benefits and looks of real stone with the added advantage of being extremely strong, hard wearing and low maintenance. Portman Stone have a huge advantage as being a major stockist of the superb range of Sergio Quartz. Portman Stone are also pleased to offer Natural Granite from the Cosentino Sensa range. For anyone wanting to have that Wow factor and spend a bit more to have the beauty of Natural Stone with some intrinsic natural features. Come and see our large display.

One of the key things is to do your homework ! Work out what you want to do in the space and how you want to use it. Do you wish to incorporate an area for the kids to do their homework or just as a family area. Are you looking for a traditional country kitchen look or a modern hi-tech finish.

You should consider your colour scheme which will be dictated by the light in your kitchen. Do you have plenty of light, north or south facing etc. Your main colours are your flooring, kitchen doors and worktop colour. We always ask everyone to bring in a sample of their flooring and door colour when choosing their worktop. Although we only manufacture and install the Quartz or Granite worktops we work with all local kitchen manufacturers and outlets and are always happy to assist. Our expert staff are always on hand to discuss your colours and design, just bring us your kitchen plan or layout and we can discuss the options with you.

Sinks - Are they important or just an accessory?

Portman Stone only offer high quality sinks made from high quality 1.2mm Stainless Steel from the Sergio, 1810 or Franke range. Many of these sinks are made in the same factory but are slightly different in design and have their own brand.

Be careful when comparing prices that you have not been quoted elsewhere for a cheap 0.7mm thick sink.

My budget is a bit restricted, can I still have Stone worktop?

Portman Stone are currently offering Sergio Sinks at 50% OFF with Stone worktop order

We have done thousands of installations from very high spec to one bed student flats. Come and see our testimonials or check out our Web site at www.portmanstone.com Numerous customers that come to visit us state that they have overspent on their budget and they are struggling to justify that last bit of expenditure for Stone worktops. Most customers are pleasantly surprised how cost effective that Quartz and Granite worktops have become by buying Direct from the Factory.

There’s a brilliant array of affordable homeware available on the high street right now, and you could even load up your trolley with on-trend accessories while doing your supermarket shop. Asda’s George Home range and the Sainsbury’s Home collection are both rightly renowned for their fashionable, purse-friendly items.

Show a living space some love A pale colour palette will make a room feel more spacious and can still feel cosy if it’s grounded by dark flooring or carpet. Curate your collection of accessories and rotate them using only a few at a time. That paredback approach will let the details sing.

George Home’s bang-up-to date range has all the ingredients for a luxe living space. Top picks include space-saving seating, such as their Glynn 2 Seater Sofa, £350, and Knitted Pouffe, £39. Check out the range’s divine details too: We love the Copper-Toned Glass Terrarium Lantern, £20, Pink and Grey Chunky Throw, £18, and Cushions, from £6 each.

DECOR TIP: A relaxed setting should never be cluttered.

If you can’t fit in bulky storage, use baskets and boxes.

Paint surrounding walls the same shade as fitted cupboards, so they recede and don’t dominate a room.

Make it personal this Christmas with Reformed Plastics With Christmas fast approaching do you find it difficult to buy presents for friends and family? Then why not give them something that they can enjoy for decades, instead of socks, chocolates and other gifts that will only last for a short time?

Our outdoor garden products make fantastic gifts, as they last for over 50 years and can be enjoyed by everyone. When you buy a Reformed Plastics’ product you not only invest in a durable product, but one that will not rot, is resistant to insects, bad weather, graffiti and will not splinter.

Get someone a gift that will last forever, by personalising any of our product range for those you love! We have a variety of products available, including benches, picnic tables, planters and play modules which can

be customised by choosing from our range of colour options, styles and engravings, making beautifully bespoke gifts for friends and family. Just like a customer who requested a ‘Carisbrooke Companion set’ (photographed above) for their grandchild and partner who tied the knot. Engraved names, quotes or any message (space permitting) is sure to make their gift truly unique, after all, our products are perfect for life, not just for Christmas!

Is there a colour choice?

They are available in a variety of bright colours including purple, pink, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, brown, black, grey and our recently added beige line! This removes the need for painting and staining. So whatever colour is required... just ask!

Does it need to be cleaned?

Our products only need to be cleaned after a spillage.

The collection of airborne dirt is inevitable and we would recommend a simple spray-down with a hose or wipe over with a damp cloth on a regular basis to ensure that your purchase is kept in the best condition.

What can the Plastic be used for?

The manufactured plastic has many practical and very useful properties. The main base of our products are in the form of planks and posts which can be used on their own for garden fences, both low for front gardens and high for side and back fences for instance, along road sides and around fields and paddocks just to name a few. It is also possible to produce a number of other products out of our plastic, such as picnic tables. These would vary in size, suitable for adults and children. Park benches, outdoor tables, square or rectangular plant boxes, decking and seating... the list is endless.

Oder in time for Christmas Don’t miss out on giving a personalised present this Christmas, place your order before mid-December to ensure delivery in time for the main event.

How strong is it?

It is extremely solid and strong being able to withstand stress levels of well over 10 tons. It is heavy, durable, virtually indestructible and will not need to be replaced.

In short, it is worry free.

Financial benefits Achieving value for money is a key driver for any purchasing decision. Although some recycled products have greater up-front cost, their longevity and durability make them a more cost-effective option over the long term.

trees ideal for small outdoor spaces

As gardens become smaller, trim trees can be just the ticket, says Hannah Stephenson.

Small trees are in high demand, with suppliers increasing production in compact varieties - including crab apples, which bear beautiful spring flowers, and Vossii laburnums, with their upright forms and diseaseresistant characteristics.

Trees provide structure, screening and shade, as well as colour which continues through the season, creating a sense of enclosure, their height drawing the eye up and out and helping link land with sky - and if you choose wisely, there’s no reason why having a dinky outdoor space should stop you introducing them.

Your tree needs to earn its space in a small garden, so look for one with year-round interest: A tree that blossoms for a week in spring but then looks ordinary for the rest of the year really won’t do.

In really tight spaces, you may be better off with a trimmed and trained plant, either in the ground or in a container, while carefully shaped topiary can also create an eye-catching focal point.

Here are five good examples to consider...

3. Laburnum x watereri ‘Vossii’ These elegant small trees, which produce long chains of brilliant yellow flowers in May and June, are perfect for training over an arch or pergola when branches are young and pliable.

Gardeners can remove the poisonous seedpods to help improve flowering next year. Just be aware that all parts of the plant are very poisonous, so this is not a child-friendly choice.

They’ll grow to around 8m x 8m and can tolerate poor and shallow soil. Laburnum can also be grown in large tubs, forced early into flower. Arguably the best for this is L. anagyroides var. alschingeri.

4. Crab apple (malus) Flowering crab apples produce a double whammy of eye-catching blossoms in spring, followed by attractive fruits in autumn.

A good variety is ‘Evereste’ (8m x 8m, but slow-growing), which bears a puff of white and pink fragrant flowers in spring which are a magnet to bees, followed by orangeyellow fruits which can be made into jam.

The slow-growing Japanese crab, Malus Floribunda, is also less vigorous, its horizontal branches covered in crimson buds in the spring, which open to blushpink and white scented blooms. The advantage of malus is that you can control their size and shape, like a fruiting apple.

TerraClean Healthy living for your car. TerraClean is proven to restore performance, reduce emissions and improve MPG. House Magazine invited Neil from Terraclean to work his magic on our Audi A4 and BMW M3. The results were fantastic so we asked Neil a few questions about the incredible spring clean service for your car.

What is TerraClean?

TerraClean is a unique technology process which is highly effective in removing the carbon deposits which build up in any internal combustion engine. The brand TerraClean is applied to both the equipment and the chemicals used.

What type of vehicles can be TerraCleaned?

Can you TerraClean a Direct Injection Engine?

the exhaust system.

Will TerraClean clean my EGR valve?

TerraClean can help restore EGR valves but if the EGR has a heavy build-up of carbon, a separate cleaning process may be required. Most importantly TerraClean is the best method for preventing the root cause of the carbon build-up that causes EGR valves and other components to fail.

Will TerraClean clean my DPF filter?

DPF filters are similar to honeycombs, if the DPF is completely blocked it is difficult to clean, however TerraClean will passively clean a DPF filter. We do have a dedicated DPF/EGR cleaning process for badly affected parts.

Can TerraClean damage my vehicle’s engine?

No, the TerraClean process carried out by one of our trained operators is safe for your vehicle.

Ask the expert PL ANTI N G P OT TED B U LB S FO R S PR I N G C O LO U R With the temperature having dropped, it’s time to turn our thoughts to planting now for spring colour.

As the perfect antidote to winter, bulbs will typically flower from February to May with the general sequence being Iris, Crocus, Daffodil and then Tulip.

Ask the expert

A LIGHT BULB M O M E N T. . .

Although spring seems a long way off, we recommend planting up pots and containers to encourage flowering in the warmer months. Pots offer younger plants shelter from the harsh winter weather and also help keep insects from eating and damaging the bulbs.

LED light lamps are a good idea: • • • • • •

Make sure you choose a pot for your bulbs that allow them to grow. The most common mistake made when planting bulbs is not putting them in deep enough.

It’s best to plant a bulb three times its own depth to prevent bulbs surfacing without flowers.

Use up to 90 % less energy Dramatically reduced energy bills LED is cleaner, safer and environmentally friendly Last up to 15 times longer Instant light – compared to energy saving halogens LED is a huge step towards helping the environment and yourself

Not just a good idea. A MAGNIFICENT idea.

Tulips are ideal to plant in November, and with many varieties, Tulips can boast a rainbow of colours.

Double Tulips, also known as Peony Tulips, sport multiple layers and typically have a bloom size of six inches. These are sensitive to rain, so it’s best to find them a sheltered spot.

Well done You!

Another popular option is to plant Daffodil bulbs ready for their sunny yellow to grace the garden in spring.

Daffodils will thrive in damp soil and can be left in the soil to flower year after year.

We thought it only makes sense, then, that before we embark on car news and explore the twisty roads that the car industry has to offer in the months to come, we’d strip it down to the basics and share our own dream cars with you. If dream cars were to tell a story about the person, we wonder if you can learn something about the members of the RB Team through their dream cars and memories below.

completed my degree in automotive engineering, it is my dream to strip the body off the chassis and add air ride suspension. Next, I would convert the driving from left hand to right hand drive, add the new 3.5ltr Ford Ecoboost V6 engine from the Ford Raptor, for reliability and ease of servicing/parts, and add a full custom interior with all the current amenities: touch screen navigation, electric heated seats and air conditioning! Finished off by sealing and preserving the paintwork character that has been created over the car’s 60 years of existence with clear-coat. All of this of course would be done by yours truly, as a firm believer of “built not bought”.

Rob My favourite car in the world came about when I was just five years old and it isn’t related to anything to do with the engine, performance or anything remotely mechanical! I didn’t know anything about cars in the same way I do 37 years later, but I loved this car the moment it appeared as a Matchbox toy on the front room carpet. The Porsche 911 had a massive wing, long bonnet and it was red! Ferraris and Lamborghinis just became wedges to stop my bedroom door from shutting out the landing light. The Porsche had curves and everything…and big eyes! Something about it just stuck with me and still does today. There is a reason I fanboy over Lightning McQueen even at my age…and I think the Porsche toy my aunt bought me that day oh so long ago has everything to do with it.

The point is, whether it’s all about looking good, making them your own or the memories they carry, our dream cars are the reason we do what we do every day. From classic to modern, a Corsa or a Lamborghini Aventador S, we want to help you find your dream car which is, after all, just as special and personal to you as your first car (and we all remember those!)

M OTO R I N G N E WS Nick Fletcher tells us the latest news on all things motoring.

MA ZDA S PEC IAL EDITIONS Mazda has announced special Black+ editions of its Mazda2 and CX-3 models. The Mazda2 Black+ Edition costs £15,795 and is limited to just 500 units. Based on the 90 hp SE-L Nav+, the new special model is distinguished by 16-inch black alloy wheels, rear privacy glass, a roof mounted shark fin antenna and a Brilliant Black roof spoiler.

Arriving later in the autumn, the 2018 Mazda CX-3 Sport Black+ is based on the 120 hp 2WD SE-L Nav+ model, and comes with a choice of manual or automatic gearbox. As with the Black+ Mazda2, just 500 cars will be offered. The sporty looks of the standard CX-3 are further enhanced by a black rear spoiler and mirror caps, while inside black leather seats are standard.

Priced at £22,195 for manual and £23,195 for the automatic, the Sport Black+ gets 18-inch silver alloy wheels, chrome garnish side and front bumper trim, front parking sensors, reversing camera, a heated steering wheel and a colour head up display.

R O A D T E S T: K I A S O R E N T O Some SUV models offer seven seats but the rear two are usually quite cramped, so it is good to see that Kia has addressed this issue with its new Sorento, writes NICK FLETCHER. The Sorento can accommodate two average-size adults on the third row of seats, giving it an edge when it comes to overall practicality. And all models come with intelligent all-wheel-drive and an industry-leading seven-year warranty.

Sorento prices start at £29,165 and even the entry model comes with features such as alloy wheels, air-conditioning, rear parking sensors, cruise control, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone mirroring.

All models use a 2.2 litre diesel engine with a punchy 197 hp, and with standard 6-speed manual or 8-speed automatic gearboxes. It was an auto version in mid-range KX-3 trim that I tested recently, and with extensive extra kit, costs £39,640. Additional features includes cornering headlights, leather upholstery, rearview camera, sat-nav, upgraded 10-speaker sound system, powered tailgate and panoramic sunroof.

170

The Sorento has a premium look and the spacious cabin offers excellent seating and good visibility. The dashboard has logical user-friendly layout and the driver’s seat has 8-way powered adjustment.

Headroom and legroom, even right at the back, is very good – and loadspace is also impressive.

Even with seven occupants, there is still 605 litres of luggage space, boosted to a van-like 1,662 litres with all the seats folded.

Underway, the Sorento proves smooth and refined, and with more supple suspension than some, for outstanding ride comfort. The steering has a light assured feel which helps make parking easier.

The 2.2 litre diesel gives a 0-60 mph time of 9.1 seconds - nippy for a vehicle of this size – and a top speed of 127 mph. The fuel figure is 46.3 mpg combined and emissions are 161 g/km.

While the Kia Sorento isn’t the cheapest model in its sector, you certainly get a great deal of car for your money – and backed by an unbeatable 7-year warranty which underlines the build quality and reliability of the brand.

R O A D T E S T: P E U G E O T 2008 GT LINE The SUV – sports utility vehicle - has been a phenomenal success in recent years - its higher driving position giving a greater sense of control and its rugged styling adding more visual appeal, writes NICK FLETCHER. However, many SUVs have become more bulky over time and not everyone likes that - the bigger the car, the more difficult it may be to park, especially in cities where space is at a premium. Thankfully, the answer is the compact SUV, a smaller version which retains much of the appearance and practicality but has a smaller footprint.

One of the stand-out models in this sector is the Peugeot 2008, based on the platform of its smaller 208 hatchback stablemate, but with a cool eye-catching design and very clever use of interior space.

Prices start at £16,600, there are various petrol and diesel options and one of the more popular is the 1.2 litre 3-cylinder petrol version, available with three power outputs.

The model I tested, in top of the range GT

Line specification, offered a zesty 130 hp.

engine is surprising quiet for a 3-cylinder unit, the suspension is set for good ride comfort and the 6-speed manual gearbox is slick and precise. The cabin has a smart appearance with a central multi-function touch-screen dominating the dashboard.

The wide-mouthed front grille, larger alloy wheels and sleek roof rails give it plenty of visual presence, and its on-road performance is also impressive, top speed 124 mph and a quick 0-60 mph time of 9.3 seconds. It scores well for economy too – 55.4 mpg combined with emissions of 118 g/km.

Cabin space accommodates four adults easily and the boot holds 422 litres, expandable to 1,400 litres by dropping the rear seats flat which is done with just the touch of a button.

Underway, the 2008 – just four metres long - is very pleasing in urban traffic, with light steering, good agility for parking. The

Rivals in the compact SUV sector include the Nissan Juke, Renault Captur and Kia Soul, but in my view the Peugeot 2008 has a distinct edge when it comes to elegance and visual panache.

Whether you have a few remaining teeth and are struggling with your partial dentures or indeed if you have full dentures and find them difficult, we can help you have fixed teeth in one day. The technique can also be applied to both the upper and lower jaws, and

“Having tried dentures to no avail and feeling totally frustrated, I was referred to Philip McCauley. Since having received my implants crown and bridge, Philip has given me my old mouth back. Where as before I was unable to eat my food properly I can now eat all things I enjoy and feel like a new woman with a wonderful smile. Having my teeth removed and receiving my new implants etc. I can honestly say I suffered very little discomfort and felt no pain mainly because I was in good hands and I would recommend Philip McCauley and this form of dentistry to anyone.”

Due to the high cost of the materials, components and technical support required this treatment does not come cheap, and prices range from 9-14K per jaw.

prevent us from securing on your final teeth from day one. However, only 2 or 3 short painless visits are required 4 months after your initial “teeth in a day” appointment, for us to construct your final definitive teeth.

Here are some of the comments we have had from our patients.

“Having decided to proceed with implants, I considered the alternatives and entrusted the work to a dental team that clearly had very considerable experience of the procedure. After some tests, Philip McCauley advised that he could insert implants and an interim set of fixed upper teeth the same day. My wife then decided to have a similar treatment and we are both delighted and impressed with the results. Walk in with a denture and walk out with new teeth!”

of the best sloe gins to buy - and how to make your own at home

With sloe berries ripe for the picking, here’s how to bring a taste of the countryside inside says Sam Wylie-Harris.

If you go wild for sloe gin, now is the time to head to the hedgerows and start foraging for the small, plump purple berries currently weighing down blackthorn bushes.

Too tart to eat on their own, distillers steep them in gin to create a fruit liqueur that’s sweetened by adding sugar or honey, and then matured for several months to produce a jammy, tart spirit that’s most famously enjoyed in a Long Peddler, a simple mix of sloe gin and bitter lemon.

Seen as an autumnal tipple, we’ve done the hard work for you and hand-picked three batches to buy and use in cocktails...

1. Rock Rose Sloe Gin Fizz “Our sloe gin has been two years in the making - the first year of experiments and the second year allowing the gorgeous berries to steep in our Autumn Edition, “says Martin Murray, co-founder, Rock Rose Gin. “The blackberries and elderberries really complement the sloes providing a unique taste.”

Rich and fruity with a smooth, warming finish, try serving Scottish Sloe Gin (£25, 50cl, Dunnet Bay Distillers) with rosemary or blackberry, or using it as the perfect base for a less traditional sloe gin fizz: INGREDIENTS

50ml Rock Rose Sloe Gin, 25ml lemon juice, 10ml sugar syrup, 1 egg white, champagne.

METHOD

Half fill a shaker with ice. Add the gin, lemon juice, sugar syrup and egg white. Shake well and strain into a glass.

Top with champagne and garnish with a lemon rind.

2. Chase Sloe & Bitter Lemon Wild hedgerow sloe berries from Herefordshire and the ultimate forgotten fruit, mulberries, are gently macerated in Chase GB gin and then oak aged in Rhone Valley red wine casks to create sweet notes of ripe blackcurrants, redcurrants, stone fruit and a rich botanical complexity for Chase Sloe & Mulberry Gin (£30, 50cl, Chase Distillery).

Smooth and rich with cassis and plummy stone fruits, its sweetness is balanced by a touch of tartness with a long finish and subtle oaky undertones.

INGREDIENTS:

50ml Chase Sloe & Mulberry Gin, bitter lemon tonic.

METHOD:

Pour all ingredients over ice and garnish with lemon peel.

NOVEMBER OFFER: NON-SURGICAL EYELIFT - FIBROBLAST, FROM £150*

T H E C R E AT I O N O F THE FIRST POPPIES

NON-SURGICAL EYELIFT - FIBROBLAST

How Anna Guérin created the first poppies to raise money for widows and children affected by the First World War.

The huge step forward in anti-wrinkle treatments everybody’s talking about

A member of the French YWCA, Anna Guérin was at the American Legion convention in 1920 and saw that the sale of large numbers of artificial poppies in her home country could fund support for those still suffering the after effects of war, particularly orphaned children.

Anna Guérin began production of fabric poppies and travelled the world encouraging countries to adopt the symbol. She made arrangements for the first nationwide distribution of poppies in America (working with Moina Michael), saw the promotion of the poppy in Canada and the adoption of it by the Canadian League and also in New Zealand and Australia.

Plasma-Fibroblasting is a new non-invasive, nonsurgical eye lifting, wrinkle reducing, skin tightening procedure. The treatment helps to shrink excess skin and it is a fantastic treatment to dramatically reduce hooded eyes. The treatment works by shortening and shrinking the skin fibres instantly through a plasma flash. This flash from a hand held device evaporates superficially on the skin at a tiny point and the skin shrinks around the targeted area. Further points are placed in a grid pattern across the skins surface, pulling the skin tighter without having to undergo surgery.

Some clients can gain an instant rejuvenated look while others may need a few treatments. Anesthetic Cream is used to help minimise discomfort.

In 1921 she met with Field Marshal Earl Douglas Haig, founder and president of the British Legion, and persuaded him to adopt the poppy as an emblem for the Legion. The first British Legion Poppy Day appeal began in the autumn of 1921, with hundreds of thousands of French-made poppies selling across the country.

Offers ends 30th November 2018.

100 years ago the First World War ended, and a new world began. The example and experience of those who lived through it shaped the world we live in today.

In 2018 The Royal British Legion is leading the nation in saying Thank You to all who served, sacrificed and changed our world.
