CONKER SPIRIT OPENS

T H ER E’ S M O R E TO LI FE ...

ITS DISTILLERY DOORS

The team at FUC clothing are proud to announce their launch party taking place on Saturday 25th May. Everyone is loving the brand and what it stands for, with only good things to say about it. Their aim now is to reach out even further and get even more people involved to be able to help more people.

FO R PU B LI C TO U RS Dorset’s first gin distillery, Conker Spirit, is pleased to announce the launch of its exclusive distillery tours. This is the first time Conker Spirit has opened its doors to the public, marking an exciting step forward in the brand’s grand plans to build a world-class visitor distillery experience. Guests will join Conker’s Founder, Rupert Holloway, on a comprehensive tour of Conker HQ in Southbourne, taking in the traditional alembic pot stills and the entire gin-making process, from the distilling of Conker’s select botanicals right through to the bottling. They’ll also get a guided tasting of all of Conker Spirit’s products, not to mention some of the new recipes the team are currently working on. And as an extra bonus, Conker devotees will get an exclusive sneak peek at Conker’s new distillery building – Rupert may even let them in on what he’s got in store for it. To top it all off, guests will be treated to a complimentary bottle of Conker’s maiden product – the Dorset Dry gin, or the 3 Star Great Taste winning Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur.

JOIN DIVERSE A B I L I T I E S FO R M U S I CA L M AY Throughout May a number of Dorset community groups are hosting musical events as part of the Diverse Abilities Sing to Raise initiative. From Bournemouth to Poole through Wimborne to Dorchester, established choir groups, individuals and bands are all singing in various ways to raise funds for Dorset’s disability charity. Some other performances throughout May include: a fancy dress karaoke night at the charity’s adult centre, The Beehive (10 May); live music in Brewery Square, Dorchester starring Dorset for Singing and The Undecided (11 May); ‘I can’t believe it’s not a folk club’ open mic night at the Oddfellow Arms in Wimborne (20 May); a five day busking tour from Bournemouth to Dorchester (22 May) plus much more!

THE DESIGN BOARD

BRAINS!

TR ANSFORM HOMES

The award-winning Operating Theatre Live is bringing its live human interactive dissection show to Talbot Heath on Saturday 22nd June 2019.

Paul from THE DESIGN BOARD was approached by Julie of JULIES D-CLUTTER to produce a design to remodel and extend this family home.

Fresh from being seen on BBC’s Dragons’ Den over the summer, Operating Theatre Live are conducting the UK’s only touring surgical experience offering an academically rigorous educational experience matched to UK exam specifications. During this unique opportunity, your child will be taking on the role of a trauma doctor bringing the systems of the human body alive through dissections. This incredible, immersive operating theatre experience will give your child the opportunity to dissect real specimens led by human anatomist Samuel Piri and his team of clinicians. The events secure and challenge students to explore careers in medicine and healthcare in a mission to raise engagement in STEM subjects and take students on an experience into healthcare and human anatomy. Please book up as soon as possible as there are a very limited number of tickets for this exclusive event.

T H E S A N D B A N K S F E S T I VA L , 1 2 - 1 4 J U LY 2 0 1 9 Year 12 and going strong! There is no stopping the enthusiasm of 1000’s of people who flock to the beautiful beaches of Sandbanks, Dorset on the second weekend in July to join in with what has become known as ‘the Sandbanks weekend’ in the sporting and social calendar of the South Coast of England. With a heavily watered beach arena providing a firm playing surface surrounded by elaborate marquees, staging and grandstands above the high-water mark, the British Beach Polo Championships, otherwise known as Sandpolo has become a ‘must go to’ event. With a ticketed capacity of 5000 on site, the polo can also be enjoyed by spectators along the beach from a raised sand platform. The polo, played under the authority of the Hurlingham Polo Association, attracts 4 competitive, medium goal teams of 3 players. Each team plays on both days with a further exhibition game on the Saturday. A charity race is held between the 2 fastest ponies on each day. International teams are welcome and bring an interesting dimension. The event has welcomed Australian, South African, Argentinian, Irish and Welsh teams, amongst others.

By repositioning the existing kitchen to the rear of the property, it now benefits from direct access onto the rear gardens. Adding two large rooflights in the vaulted ceiling above, allows natural light to pour into this well-equipped, contemporary space. An opulent living room is reached from the kitchen via two large bespoke sliding doors, in turn this flows naturally onto a new sunroom with views over the gardens. The interest continues with the charming library, which leads on to the family dining room. Paul states, “When we received the exciting brief for this project I was eager to get started, even more so when I quickly realised that Julie would be an integral part of the internal design. Her interiors knowledge along with the fantastic style response and keen eye for detail is second to none and she is a delight to work with.”

Sandfest attracts a unique audience of music and beach lovers on the Sunday from midday to 10pm. This year’s line-up includes Chase and Status, Example, Yxng Bane and Hannah Wants. Sun soaked ‘Sandfesters’ will feast on the best DJs and live performances and indulge in the exquisite beach food and bustling outside bars.

WESTBOURNE RECOGNISED BY BANG & OLUFSEN WORLDWIDE

Carpet Barn and The Bed Store are a long established retailer of carpets, flooring, beds and bedroom furniture, with existing outlets in Poole, Ferndown, Fareham, and Eastleigh. They’ve been established for 37 years and continue to be a successful, family run, business. They have recently opened a fifth outlet in Christchurch, on the old site of the Magna Mazda dealership. “We’re opening our new outlet in a prime main road location in Barrack Road, Christchurch” says David Ironside, one of the Directors, “It’s a high visibility location, and presents us with a prime opportunity to extend our offering further afield with our customers benefiting from increased savings.” Carpet Barn and The Bedstore are a traditional ‘Bricks and Mortar’ operation but have developed strong online presence in addition. Fellow Director Darren Ironside said, “In common with other progressive retail operations, we strive to serve the public both on and offline, and continue to recognise the importance of our customers not only to feel, touch and evaluate our product offerings in real time, but have the opportunity to benefit from personalised advice, and the best in customer service.” The company’s ethos is value driven, “In today’s competitive environment customers demand quality, but above all good value, and we’re here to give them both”, said Darren.

Dawsons / BANG & OLUFSEN on Poole Road in Westbourne has received the accolade of a ‘Bang & Olufsen Top 50 Store in the World’.

C O A S TA L WA L K IN SUPPORT OF LEWIS-MANNING HOSPICE Lewis-Manning Hospice are inviting people to take part in their Hospice to Hospice Walk on Saturday 18th May from Oakhaven Hospice in Mudeford to Lewis-Manning in Sandbanks, or the opposite way if preferred. The walk, now in its fourth successful year, is a 26 mile walk, known as a marathon walk, which takes place along the coastal path between Poole and Lymington with walkers supporting the hospice of their choice. The route is almost entirely flat so is ideal for walkers of all standards, especially as it’s non-competitive – a chance to enjoy the spectacular scenery. For more information and To register to take part go to w w w.hospicetohospice2019. eventbrite.co.uk To make a donation or to arrange your own event contact Lewis-Manning Hospice on 01202 708470

Receiving the award Dawson’s MD Kevin Dawson advised, “We are delighted to achieve this recognition for the second consecutive year. It celebrates the fact that we are actually number No 3 in the UK, for sales, behind Harrods and the Bang & Olufsen Knightsbridge Store and in the top 50 stores worldwide, out of a total of 800. It’s a huge achievement for us and a recognition of the hard work that we have put in and our ability to keep up with ever changing consumer demands.” The family run store, which is steeped in history, was established in 1927 by Kevin’s great grandfather George Dawson, with premises initially on Seamoor Road in Westbourne. He sold his first radio for just £6 and stocked items such as portable radios, mains radios, accumulators and offered a charging service. Cyril Dawson subsequently joined the company, joined by Kevin’s father Peter Dawson in 1957. Kevin joined the family firm in 1980 at the age of 17. Dawsons became a B & O dealer in 1964 and is the oldest UK dealer. Kevin commented, “As a high street business we have made sure that we are much more than just a showroom - we strive to offer shoppers an ‘experience’ in store. We want to be able to demonstrate how great sound can heighten a viewing experience and allow our customers to play with sound and engage with them. In my grandfather’s day, the TV’s would have been 405 lines, today’s technology offers up to 2160 lines (4K). People often think that surround sound is just for movies but we know the impact that it can make on the viewing of everyday TV dramas and streamed television. Remember Thin TV = Thin Sound. “We are currently working on a new, big Home Cinema room which is being designed to showcase our latest products and further develop the experiential shopping experience. We look forward to reporting on this in the coming weeks. This will be a welcome addition to our brand-new Home Media room.”

LO CAL C HARIT Y

E X T R AVAGA N Z A

The Advice Team at local disability charity, Diverse Abilities, is encouraging the Dorset community to create a lasting power of attorney (LPA) to make difficult situations easier for friends or family in the future. An LPA is a safety net. It is a legal document that ensures that a person or a group of people can manage and make decisions about someone’s finances, property and care needs.

The renowned Lashings World XI has announced its annual flagship event on southern shores. Taking place at Bournemouth Sports Club on Friday 14th June, the day is designed to bring together the corporate fraternity as well as cricket fans across the tri-counties, to revel in a summer soiree of sport and entertainment. All-star names such as Gordon Greenidge, John Emburey and legendary commentator Henry Blofeld have been confirmed as honorary guests for the day. Joining forces for this one-day event in Bournemouth, are the powerhouse of Estate Agents Saxe Coburg and the leaders in sporting events, Dave Fitzgerald and Scott Charlton who run Lashings XI.

If you are ready to start thinking about your future, or of a loved one, the Diverse Abilities Advice Team can help you to decide whether an LPA is right for you, and if so, make the applications for you and oversee the registration of the relevant documents. Working with the Diverse Abilities Advice Team will also save some money. The service charges an affordable fee, which is substantially lower cost than most solicitors and will not be making a profit. In addition, during May, the charity is offering 20% off the cost by quoting LPA SPRING OFFER. For more information, visit w w w.diverseabilities.org.uk/ advice or call the friendly team on 0300 330 5514.

The format of the day will be a kids coaching academy in the morning, followed by a corporate hospitality marquee lunch and then a T20 fixture. The Lashings World XI will face a Saxe Coburg Invitational XI. This stylish event aims to support Lashings World XI, with their 2019 commitment to raise over £10,000 for Macmillan Caring Locally. The charity’s ‘brick by brick appeal’ has captured hearts locally and is extremely fitting with Saxe Coburg’s community goals this year. “Macmillan Caring Locally is an exceptional charity which Lashings has been supporting for the last few years. Their brick by brick appeal isn’t easy; they require £6,000,000.00 overall to build a new facility in Christchurch. We’re hoping companies will dig deep on the day to show their support for this outstanding charity,” says Lashings’ Director David Fitzgerald.

FA N TA S T I C A R T H O T E L GOES ON THE MARKET It’s not every day an Art Hotel comes to market, offering a gross annual profit of 69%. Saxe Coburg Estate Agents have listed a three-storey, 12-bedroom, freehold hotel in the popular Boscombe Spa area of Bournemouth. This is a thriving business, with an annual turnover of circa £160,000. Owning and running a hotel is no mean-feat however the convenience of the Boscombe Spa Hotel is that it’s already a thriving business, meaning the new owner can move in and hit the ground running immediately. The converted Georgian house retains many original features, with a country-house atmosphere and a flower-filled courtyard garden. The hotel is presented in excellent condition with substantial forecourt parking and the pretty rear courtyard area easily seats 14 people; ideal for the summer months.

Tickets were released on 1st April 2019 via Eventbrite. £450 for a table of 10 gets you a three-course meal, along with an afternoon of cricket, Q&A sessions, entertainment, an auction, and hopefully… sunshine. There are also “gold” tables of 9 available, with a Lashings player joining your group, as well as various sponsorship opportunities available.

All 12 bedrooms are en-suite, there is a large residents lounge, residents dining room, art studio, kitchen and laundry area, study/ office, plus spacious reception hallway. The business is unique as it runs niche Art Holidays in Dorset. The hotel has developed a superb reputation, welcoming thousands of south-coast seekers and art lovers over the years.

Saxe Coburg said of the occasion, “This is our second year sponsoring the annual Lashings World XI. This event brings together the best of the business world and provides serious cricket in an engaging and fun way. Anyone who knows their cricket needs to be there on 14th June.”

This property is on the market with Saxe Coburg Estate Agents for £845,000. No specialist art knowledge is required. Viewings are now being taken. Please contact Lynn Kravos on 01202 303066 ext 650 to book your viewing.

Colourstone; resin bound specialists Colourstone use resin bound and bonded screed systems that offer driveways longevity, strength and durability. With so many resin bound driveway companies surfacing, it’s hard to know which one will do the job to the standard you expect, without overcharging you. Most tradesmen can lay a resin driveway; however, the skill is in the knowledge, ensuring that it won’t crack or fall apart a

year later. We have heard many horror stories about resin companies costing the client twice as much due to bad workmanship with getting the resin mix wrong, or laying it on the wrong surface. It pays dividends to use the experts when it comes to resin driveways. Colourstone have been leaders in the industry for the past 13 years, and are so confident in their expertise in the world of resin bound, they will even offer a 10-year guarantee on their work. Some of our team here at House and Lifestyle magazine have personally used them and that’s why we recommend them when it comes to the resin minefield.

ASK THE EXPERT

H O W T O C R E AT E T H E U LT I M AT E L O W MAINTENANCE GARDEN

Ask the investor WHY IS IT SO HARD FOR AN OWN ER TO T U R N AROUND A BUSINESS?

Gardens are now working as an extension of our homes as an additional living space. But with time being a precious commodity, how do you create a beautiful garden without the continual maintenance? Steve Lawless, Landscaping Products Manager at Elliotts Builders Merchant, looks at 3 products will help create the ultimate low-maintenance space.

Investment expert Robbie Mair offers advice, investment and hands on support to business owners; whether you are looking to grow your current business, sell it, improve cashflow or in need of simple guidance.

Artificial grass has come a long way over the last few years and no longer has the ‘astro turf’ label that it used to. You could easily mistake some lawns for being real. By opting for artificial grass, you get the look and feel of a real lawn without the need for mowing, watering or re-seeding.

Business owners that experience cashflow problems can struggle to manage the business, staff, suppliers and customers when there is a great deal of debt. Turning a business around when you are deeply involved in it, is often difficult, risky and immensely stressful, especially when faced with escalating debt and personal guarantees.

Composite decking has become extremely popular with people who want a great looking deck all year round. Composite is resistant to mould and requires no treatment, unlike traditional timber decking. A lot of composite decking also has very good slip resistance, making it perfect for family members young and old. There are plenty of decking styles to suit all gardens.

Add unhappy creditors threatening winding-up orders, and insolvency can seem like your only option. And often, turnaround specialists and ‘insolvency practitioners’ will charge thousands of pounds only to advise putting a business into a company voluntary arrangement, or worse still liquidation, because the practitioner will always get paid first.

Composite fencing is relatively new to the UK, but it’s been hugely popular across Europe and we expect the market to really grow in the UK. Think composite decking…but for fencing! With no need for sanding or painting, composite fencing will look amazing all year round. Its slot-in panels also make it easy to install.

But there are much smarter options available for a business that is already financially struggling. With a fresh perspective and the help of an “active investor” you can pinpoint problems and implement safe and robust solutions that may not be evident to the team embroiled in the day-to-day management of the business, or indeed to your accountants and corporate advisors. Choose an expert or investor with integrity ensuring that he will only get involved knowing he/she can save your company from insolvency.

WHICH BOURNEMOUTH PROPERTIES ARE SELLING THE BEST? Your local property experts bring you the latest industry news, this month written by Nick Richards, Sales Director on behalf of Foxes Sales & Lettings.

W H Y H AV E S O M A N Y INSURANCE POLICIES? Clients often believe that they only require insurance for their main home and motor they may have additional payments for other covers arranged through various outlets often with little or no advice covering additional properties, legal cover, second homes, holiday homes, travel, cycles, jewellery and golf. Wouldn’t it great to just have this all under one roof.

If you’re considering a house move, it’s wise to take a look at how quickly (or slowly) different types of property are selling locally. It could save you a lot of heartache – and many thousands of pounds. If you’re selling a property in a sluggish price range and buying in a faster moving price range then putting your property on the market first is vital, otherwise you’re likely to find the one you want to buy tends to sell before your property sells. And if you’re selling in a fast-moving market and buying in a slower market, you’re probably in a position to get a better deal on the home you’re buying.

We can often arrange cover under one policy to include all of these with the aim of simplifying the amount of policies you have whilst taking advantage of better covers and competitive premiums which can include: • • • • • • • • • •

To help local buyers understand the market, we’ve broken down Bournemouth properties for sale into roughly four uniform size price bands, with around 25% of the properties on the market in each. As a simple insight into which sector is selling the best, we then looked at how many properties in each bracket are sold subject to contract (stc). Total properties on the market

As you can see, the lower end of the market is the best performing, with 48% of all property sold subject to contract. And it doesn’t come as a surprise that the upper end of the property market in Bournemouth is a little tougher.

Climb on board a catamaran to beat Croatiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crowds Small ship sailing allows Celia Paul to enjoy the picturesque coastlines and peaceful coves. Like Bambi taking his first tentative steps, I push myself up off the paddleboard, first to my knees and then cautiously - and with more than one false start - to my feet. In the faint distance, I can hear applause, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m too focused on gripping hold of my paddle to pay much attention. Around me, the waters of the Adriatic are clear and thankfully for my precarious balance - tranquil. Apart from a single yacht and my new home from home, a gleaming white catamaran, the bay is undisturbed by water traffic. My shipmates and new-found friends are dotted around me, some kayaking, others snorkelling, while a couple provide vocal and enthusiastic support from the deck of the catamaran. I skirt my wobbly way around them, gradually becoming more stable, only to watch in awe as one companion takes to SUP yoga on the open sea. Taking that as my cue, I clamber back aboard ship, hunt down a cold drink and sit down in the sun to take my turn as cheerleader and observer. If this is sailing life, how has it taken me so long to embrace it?

And it’s a special one. Gathered on the bow of the catamaran, my shipmates and I get to experience a sunset cruise unlike any I’ve known before, watching the sun disappear over the horizon as the waves gently lap around us, and we exclaim over the stunning forested scenery we pass, complete with occasional mountain goat. As the skies darken, we moor at the largest of the islands, Sipan, our home until morning, and after a dinner of freshly-caught seafood, settle in for our first night, lulled to sleep by the water splashing against our gently rocking temporary home. I’m woken the next day by the sound of feet overhead, as my fellow passengers head for some morning sunshine on deck, and the smell of coffee wafts its way down to my cabin. After a breakfast of fresh fruit and yoghurt, cheeses and meats, we set sail for our next destination, the island of Mljet.

BELOW Catamaran | PA Photo/Whereabouts Holidays

The three main islands, Sipan, Kolocep and Lopud, have a total population of less than 1,000 people, and are mostly car-free, forested and surrounded by tranquil seas. I can already feel the hustle and bustle of city life slipping away. After a quick stop at Kolocep for a lunch of grilled octopus, cooked on an open flame, and a brisk 10-minute hike up to a stunning viewpoint, we sail around the island, moor up and take our first swim. I hold my breath, grab hold of my snorkel and leap feetfirst into the blue brilliance of the Adriatic. Just beneath the surface, shoals of tiny fish dart around me, and below my feet an eel lurks in the shadow of a rock. When I finally emerge into the sunshine again, after a leisurely exploration of the deep, it’s to climb back aboard my home for the next three nights and take up residence on deck with the breeze in my hair. It’s just a short jaunt over to Lopud, home to a monastery overlooking the island’s only village (which also has an excellent patisserie and a selection of boutiques stocked with locally made jewellery and trinkets). Loaded up with gifts and pastries, we jump back aboard for our final sail of the day.

Famous for its inland lakes and a former Benedictine monastery first constructed in the 12th century, the western side of the heavily forested island is protected by national park status, helping it remain an unspoilt and tranquil home for all kinds of wildlife - and plenty of outdoor pursuits enthusiasts. We stop for a quick dip, interspersed with water sports, before loading the boards and kayaks back on board and docking in the shadow of Roman ruins in the village of Polace. A stash of electric bikes are stored for us at a local home, ready for our adventure into the hilly national park. And for someone who spent their childhood routinely dragged out on reluctant cycling trips, they’re a revelation. We do just enough work to feel as though we’ve earned our picnic, while whizzing down steep hills and easily pedalling up them.

RIGHT Mljet’s Benedictine monastery | PA Photo/Celia Paul

It’s an easy ride around the two saltwater lakes, with a stop to catch the ferry to the monastery, and a tranquil late-afternoon drink in the hamlet of Soline, where kids splash in the water beside us. That evening our skipper, Patrick, escorts us by dinghy to a dockside restaurant, where we experience one of the staples of Dalmatian cookery, Peka. The local speciality of beef, lamb, potatoes and vegetables is baked in an open fire, under a bell-shaped lid with embers piled on top. The resulting stew is tender and flavourful, and perfectly washed down with a digestif of rakija, a fruit brandy flavoured with pear, quince, apricot or plum.

TIS THE SEASON FOR BR A AI Kicking back in Zim last week, for the first time our trusty front door heater was off and thoughts were turned to the prospect of Summer. Having decided to open a Braai concept in the depths of winter, some may consider that a bizarre choice to say the least, but timing-wise with Southern African cuisine being on the cusp of breaking into the UK market, depths of winter or not, the move had to be made. Braai - for those who don’t know - simply means BBQ or grill, infamously an outdoor affair for the Southern African contingency who can rely on some serious vitamin D to accompany their dining experience, but for Zim (and it’s less reliable companion of the good old Blighty climate) it is a concept which paves the way for that, ultimate social dining experience - what is more memorable than a good old garden gathering with Dad at the helm, tongs in hand…Now just imagine if this wasn’t weather dependant!

Margaret, 75, living with cancer My day didn’t start too well. Everything had got on top of me and I felt really low. When I called the Macmillan Support Line, I didn’t know where to start. But somehow they helped me find the words. Just talking honestly about how I felt was such a relief. Now I don't have to cope with the bad days on my own.

My Southern African inferno has been warming the hearts of it’s Ashley Cross clientele thus far, and they’ve travelled from all over to try us out. I can’t wait for the Braai to come into it’s own and what better place for this to come to life than in “The Cross” - a pocket of suburbia with an array of independent eateries and just a stone’s throw from the golden sands of the Sandbanks peninsula - the flip flops are “officially on” and the summer beckons.

The inaugural Noon ’til Moon gathering Established Bournemouth nightlife entrepreneurs join forces to produce Noon ‘till Moon, a brand new social event at 10 Castle Street, Cranborne on Saturday 29th June 2019. A boutique one-day gathering at a totally unique location, Noon ’til Moon will make use of a stunning house, and its impeccable grounds, at what is set to be one of the social events of the year. Bournemouth-based nightlife entrepreneurs, Benjamin Reynolds and Joshua Simons, have joined forces to produce an event celebrating music, food, drink, and fashion, for up to 1,000 like-minded guests, from midday-11pm.

Benjamin Reynolds comments: “Myself and Josh go way back to 2005, when I started promoting nightclub events and hosted Monday nights at 2020, a famous club at the time. Since then, I’ve gone on to open my own venues, including The Lost Paradise Bar in Bournemouth. We’re excited to be joining forces for this new-concept event at 10 Castle Street, bringing our teams and ideas together to create something special for guests. Attendees

We have 11 hours of entertainment planned for guests, with a cross-genre mix of music and styles, and have already secured some incredible talent. We’re excited to see this new concept event develop.” Grade II listed 10 Castle Street is situated on the edge of Cranborne Chase in Dorset. The area was a favourite of medieval kings as a hunting ground and also has links to Thomas Hardy’s classic novel – Tess of the D’Urbervilles.

easy and refreshing spring cocktails to recreate at home Raise a toast to longer days and warmer weather with something a little fancy, says Sam Wylie-Harris. It's the time of year to let ingredients speak for themselves - and showcase how some of the biggest hitters in the spirit world have been inspired by the countryside coming into bloom, to create exquisitely presented drinks. From sweet and sour to light, fresh and simple, and cocktails with undeniable depth and flavour to muddle and build on (and tweak to suit your taste), we've played with some fun, easy flavours to celebrate spring...

1. Grander Blackberry Mojito Nicely tart with a fresh minty tang, this slight twist on a classic mojito is made with Grander Rum Aged 8 Years (ÂŁ25.88 for 70cl, Amazon), adding just the right amount of dark-fruit sweetness to complement the background rum notes. A long drink, perfect for sipping on during those fresh spring evenings. INGREDIENTS 50ml Grander Rum 8-year-old, 25ml soda water, 20ml freshly squeezed lime juice, 10-15ml pure cane syrup, 8 fresh blackberries, 8 fresh mint leaves. METHOD First, muddle blackberries, mint, lime juice and pure cane syrup in a cocktail shaker, then add rum and ice. Shake vigorously and strain into a collin's glass with crushed ice, then top with club soda. Garnish with blackberry, mint sprig and lime wedge.

2. Cotswold Blossoms An aromatic cocktail that's delicate and dry, the tartness of grapefruit enhances the citrusy elements in Cotswolds Distillery Dry Gin (ÂŁ37 for70cl, Waitrose), finishing with a floral note. INGREDIENTS 50ml Cotswolds Dry Gin, 15ml elderflower liqueur, 15ml Lillet Blanc, 25ml grapefruit juice, 5ml rose water. METHOD Half fill a cocktail shaker with ice, add the ingredients and shake vigorously. Strain into a chilled martini glass and garnish with an edible blossom.

RIGHT Cotswold Blossoms cocktail | PA Photo/Cotswolds Distillery

7. Casamigos Lavender Spritz For a perfectly refreshing combination of sweet and tart, try mixing Casamigos Blanco Tequila (ÂŁ48.19 for 70cl, Amazon) with revitalising lavender syrup and bitters, and the zesty, citrusy notes of lemon and grapefruit. INGREDIENTS 55ml Casamigos Blanco Tequila, 40ml lavender syrup, 15ml fresh lemon juice, 15ml grapefruit juice, 2 dashes lavender bitters. Grapefruit sparkling water to top. METHOD Half fill a shaker with ice. Add ingredients and shake vigorously. Strain into a jam jar filled with fresh ice. Top with grapefruit sparkling soda water and garnish with a lavender sprig and lemon peel. Words by Sam Wylie-Harris, Press Association

Stargazing pods at Alton Towers Roger Crow enjoys an overnight stay in the theme park’s new affordable cabins and gives his verdict. With a spectacular firework display and entertainment from a live band, Alton Towers recently launched their new Stargazing Pods. Designed to offer affordable family accommodation that’s a lot more comfortable than camping, the compact cabins also provide an opportunity for guests to study Staffordshire’s night sky. What are the new Stargazing Pods? Ensuring fun and games extend way beyond the park’s closing times, these on-site sleeping pods are the latest and most economical - addition to the accommodation options available at Alton Towers. There are 102 of the wooden domes, which sleep up to four (one double bed, two singles) and are equipped with modern amenities like USB ports and WIFI access. Both indoors and out, there’s a celestial theme; study the night sky until bedtime, then fall asleep in a room decorated with stars.

What’s it like to sleep under the stars? Although small, the pods are cosy and extremely comfortable, with washroom and toilet facilities located close by. The pods are dotted around a green, where telescopes have been set up for aspiring Brian Coxes to learn the difference between Ursa Minor and Ursa Major - especially if they use an app and resort WiFi to give them a clue. Do you get good grub? On a daily basis, campers can visit all restaurants around the resort. The closest is The Crooked Spoon, which is next to the Enchanted Village - although booking is advised. Breakfast (included in the price) is provided near the Stargazing Pods’ reception area. There’s a hot sausage or bacon roll for meat eaters, while vegetarians can go for a version with cheese, egg and mushroom. Coffees and teas are also included.

M AY 1 9

A LTO N TO W E R S | S TAYC AT I O N

What else can you do in the park? The Stargazing Pods’ overnight fee includes a free nine-hole round of Extraordinary Golf, and a free second day in the park with early access to selected rides and attractions. Catch the monorail for a wealth of attractions, ranging from CBeebies Land for the youngsters to more intense rides for teens and above. Oblivion, Nemesis, The Smiler, Wicker Man and Galactica are musts for hardcore riders. If you prefer something less intense try The Blade, a swing boat ride which is stomach-churning but great fun. How to get there The Stargazing Pods are priced from £88 for up to four people (off peak) and £123 (peak). Visit altontowers.com. Words by Roger Crow, Press Association

Robert Cook ««««« What a brilliant Estate Agent! Back in 2016 we looked to get an initial valuation of our property in between Winton and Charminster, alongside other local agents, we invited Savas round from Avenue Estates and immediate got the right feeling. We didn’t in fact sell that year and 12 months later looked to get a further valuation ready to put the house on the market. Other local agents came in, gave us the big I am and that only they were the right option for us, yet Savas came back honest, genuine and was a complete pleasure to have invited back into our home. We had no hesitation in going with Avenue Estates, the fees were by far the best, the service was amazing, there was no I’m the Director, I’ll get you as a customer and then once the contract is signed I’m not interested, Savas was there for the entire journey from listing the property, through to the viewings and the ultimate sale, he remained committed throughout. Unfortunately we have relocated right out of the Bournemouth areas so may not deal with the Avenue Estates team for the foreseeable future, however I have no trouble in recommending Savas and his team to anyone interested in Renting, Buying or Selling a property in the area. I genuinely thank you Savas for the brilliant selling experience and wish you all the best! Kind Regards, Rob, Caroline and the Girls.

The castle is best known as the place where Mary, Queen of Scots was imprisoned and finally beheaded in 1587. However, during the Wars of the Roses, this was the prime residence of the Yorks.

D O Y O U R E A L LY W A N T TO B U Y A PRO PERT Y? The media keep saying first time buyers need the help of mum and dad! And it could be that mum and dad want to help their children, but I want to let our twenty plus year olds know it is completely within their grasp! From the 1st April 2019 the minimum wage increased to £8.21. This means someone working 40 hours a week will now be earning £17,076.80 per annum. So a couple on the minimum wage together will be earning £34,153.60 per annum (of which £25,000 is now tax free). Mortgages are now lending 4-5 times wages on a 5% deposit and more and more lenders are offering more products. If we go for 4 times the annual wage of £34,153.60, you could possible borrow up to £136,614.40, add the 5% deposit on means purchasing around £144,000. Now I appreciate, this may only get you a 1 bed property in the Poole and Bournemouth area, but the minimum wage is all over England, so in the Midlands and further North, you will achieve more for your money.

£136,000 mortgage at 2.5% on a 35 year repayment mortgage will be a monthly payment of £486.00.

My day didn’t start too well. Everything had got on top of me and I felt really low. When I called the Macmillan Support Line, I didn’t know where to start. But somehow they helped me find the words. Just talking honestly about how I felt was such a relief. Now I don't have to cope with the bad days on my own.

This is cheaper than renting a one bedroom flat in the Poole and Bournemouth area. The deposit is this example would be £7,386, which on a 3 year saving plan of £205 a month would give you a deposit without the help of mum and dad. If the savings plan is with ‘Help to Buy’ Scheme, the government will give you 25% of your savings. So, this could also reduce your monthly savings to £154 per month. It is always good to know your options (please note
