GARDEN FOR CHARIT Y

C E L E B R AT E

CHAMPNESS CHARTERED

Diverse Abilities is inviting the local community to attend its array of amazing local gardens throughout June to August, all in aid of the charity that supports children and adults living with disabilities in Dorset.

In a changing market full of uncertainty and new legislation, the team at Churchfield welcomed a nice distraction, celebrating something very special.

Organisations and individuals are opening their gardens in support, including Parterre at Keyneston Mill in Blandford. They will be opening their gardens for the public on Monday 1 July and will be donating a percentage of their entrance fees to Diverse Abilities and raising funds on the day.

“We are over the moon to congratulate the new Mr & Mrs Smith who got hitched at the beautiful setting of The Mill at Gordonton.

Bourne View, Colten Care’s newest home, is opening its garden with living feature wall on 16 August and will be holding a raffle, while the Dolphin Shopping Centre is providing a children’s cress head activity on 20 and 21 July. If you’d like to know more about the Diverse Abilities Open Gardens initiative and view our event listings, visit www.diverseabilities.org.uk/open-gardens

“Having previously worked together at a corporate agency, Jenny joined the team back in 2012, we were then later joined by Robert in 2017. “We were all very privileged to be a part of your special day and wish you both every happiness for your future together.”

NOW OPENING… NEW DOORS

A C C O U N TA N T S T O S U P P O R T ENTREPRENEURS Top 20 accountancy firm Saffery Champness Chartered Accountants has today announced that Jamie Lane will join the firm as a Partner, based in its Bournemouth Office, with effect from 3rd June. Jamie joins from Smith & Williamson’s Southampton Office, where he spent 15 years, latterly as a partner, supporting entrepreneurs in a wide range of sectors including marine, recruitment, renewable energy and professional practices. Commenting Jamie advised, “I am thrilled to be joining Safferys. I have always been aware of their team through our mutual engagement with Nexia International and have been impressed by everyone, especially the Firm’s reputation in the business community. They are hugely well respected and I am genuinely very happy to have this opportunity. “I am looking forward to becoming a trusted advisor to my new clients and will be providing audit, transactional support and business advice to complement the skills of the existing team. Having developed the transaction support offering locally in my previous role, I am looking forward to continuing this particular specialism supporting clients with their ambitions to grow and ultimately realise value in their businesses, whether that be through mergers and acquisitions or assisting entrepreneurs through the myriad of scale up challenges. “I enjoy helping clients navigate the challenges of growth, being a part of their journey and enabling them to fulfil their potential.”

IMPROVE LIGHTHOUSE ACCESS Getting in and out of Lighthouse is now much easier for people in wheelchairs and less mobile users of Poole’s centre for the arts, thanks to newly installed automatic doors. The push-button doors opposite the lift greatly improve access and mean those who need the lift no longer have to cross a crowded foyer at busy times. The new doors have been installed thanks to a grant of £4,000 from the Theatres Trust. “This is a vital improvement for which Lighthouse is extremely grateful to the Theatres Trust,” says Chief Executive Elspeth McBain. “People who need to use the lift will be able to more easily navigate the foyer at busy times and the new entrance will also provide better access from the car park.”

Senior Partner Nick Fernyhough commented, “We are delighted to welcome Jamie to our growing team. As a business we are enjoying exceptional growth and continually bringing on board new entrepreneurial talent as clients. We have a niche for supporting entrepreneurs and fast- growing owner managed businesses and Jamie will be an integral part of that team. His depth of experience and knowledge will provide a huge boost to the excellent corporate support that we offer our clients.”

Ask The Expert About…

CHOOSING STO R AG E Steve Webber, Director of Maidmans Moving & Storage in Poole, has many years’ experience in the moving and storage industry. Recently Steve was asked, “What should I consider when choosing storage?” Steve replied: “Make sure storage meets your needs, otherwise you could end up with something that is unsuitable or not cost effective. The two types of storage to consider are containerised storage and self-storage. “Containerised storage is often cheaper, but you must weigh this up against a lack of access to your belongings.” Steve added, “consider the following points before choosing storage: • Location - For regular access to stored belongings, using a facility 50-miles away makes little sense. However if you will not need access, you may save money using containerised storage outside of your immediate location. • Access – Not every self-storage facility is open 24 hours a day, but for most people normal weekday access or access on demand will suffice. • Facilities – Security is paramount, including lockable access and cameras. • Consider fire protection and insurance. • Lastly, don’t underestimate good customer service, Maidmans, storage solutions are rated as highly by clients as the moving side of our business.”

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.

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.

INTERIORS | BOHO

Ways to rock a boho vibe at home Stylist and interiors free-spirit Fifi O’Neill travelled the world in search of the best boho looks for her new book. Gabrielle Fagan takes a look. If you love breaking the decor rules and flying free with your style, then ‘boho’ is surely the way to go. There’s no bigger fan of this creative, expressive approach than glamorous international stylist, Fifi O’Neill. The author and decor expert lives the look in her own homes - and has travelled the world seeking out the best examples of boho interiors for her new book, Global Bohemian: How To Satisfy Your Wanderlust At Home. It’s packed with ideas and tips, and a brilliant starting point for anyone curious about going boho. O’Neill is clearly delighted that this layered, vibrant and organic style, long associated with artists, musicians and writers, is now making an impact on the more mainstream decor scene. “If you revel in freedom from conventions and rules, love a space that reflects individuality and spontaneity and have a fondness for a fusion of global goods, bohemian style is pure catnip!” she enthuses.

Whip up a style sandstorm There’s an out-on-the prairie, nomadic feel to this boho look, and its desert palette of browns, sand and cream are easy-on-the-eye. “I love incorporating things from everywhere, from Morocco to vintage American farmhouse,” says owner Kari Payne, who shares the space with her husband John, and has embraced influences from the early simplicity of Native American and the South West, to elaborate Spanish and Mediterranean styles. “I think the connecting factor to all these cultures is their rustic, artisanal and hand-made quality,” she explains. “My dad was an interior designer in the 1970s and gave me the confidence to mix styles and eras. I love warm, cosy interiors with a mixture of rustic and modern, and a collected, eclectic vibe. To me, it’s relaxing and inspiring all at once.” Take your time and combine a mix of pieces you truly love, advises Payne, who also researches Instagram and Pinterest for ideas and inspiration. “Designing a home to be unique and personal to you and a reflection of your life, is what makes a house a home,” she adds. Get in the spirit A monochrome scheme, tropical plants and Eastern artefacts like Buddah heads give this setting a far-away “When I first saw this cottage that came with my house,

it was love at first sight. The sun-bleached tin roof and the exposed rafters had an irresistibly seductive bohemian feel. However, it needed a major decorating facelift,” explains O’Neill. She aimed for a “fresh, young, hip look” with white painted walls, ceiling and exposed rafters”, which she contrasted with a black painted floor. It adds a masculine touch, which balances the more feminine aspects of the decor and provides continuity between the sleeping and living areas. Bask in a beach hut vibe A tropical cocktail of colours has been used to give punch to a laid-back, kick-off-your-shoes seashoreinspired setting. “For both the exterior and the interior, my true inspiration was nature,” says Kandice Ridley, who’s embraced a tropical boho style at her home on an island off the coast of Florida.

J U LY 1 9

BOHO | INTERIORS

“All the colours are drawn from ocean sea glass, the skies at different times of day, rainbows, foliage and the amazing plumage of island birds. I ended up using 38 different colours.” Spirited fabrics, fanciful accessories, exotic furnishings and nature-inspired shades set the tone, and in her living area there are lovely touches such as a Hawaiian Hula-style raffia shade, collections of shells and beachcomber finds. “For an informal room that looks well planned out, mixing a variety of colours, fabrics and textures does the trick, as long as you always include the same shades of one colour to pull it all together,” she adds. Global Bohemian: How To Satisfy Your Wanderlust At Home by Fifi O’Neill, photography by Mark Lohman, is published by Cico Books, priced £19.99. Available now.

ASK THE EXPERT

SPECIAL INTRODUCTORY RATE £20.00 per hour plus one hour consultation. when quoting this advert (Normally £35)

WHO AM I? My name is Tracey and I am a professional Organiser and Declutterer. In other words, I can sort your stuff out!

Ask the investor D O U B L E YO U R SA L E S AND PROFIT IN AN AFTERNOON?

I am a member of the Association of Professional Declutterers (yes there is such a thing). I am fully insured, have ICO data protection and am enthused by my career choice as I’m right at the beginning of this burgeoning industry.

Growing your business in a competitive market is not always easy or quick. However, there is a tactic you can use to double your sales and profit in an afternoon. Most people will have heard of it in reference to huge Multi-National companies, but you might not have considered it being used for smaller businesses. It’s called a Merger. A Merger is an acquisition, but instead of using money you use shares.

I want to help you move forward and to free up the time you spend losings things in your home by offering you my decluttering services. •

Imagine two identical companies with identical valuations. You currently own 100% of one of them. Post-merger you own 50% of the combined company which is now hypothetically double the size. But this is where it gets really interesting. Imagine these two identical companies. They each have their own Managing Director, their own accounts department, their own office space. So, there’s lots of costs that when you join forces become duplicated. If you strip out these duplicated costs, a magical thing happens where one plus one now actually equals 3!

• •

Does your home-office look like a bomb has gone off and you need some systems and organisations so you can work more effectively? Do you want to bring some sort of calm to the overwhelm you feel every time you come home? Do you struggle to know what to wear as you simply have too many clothes?

If the answer to any of these questions is a big fat YES. Then I’m your woman! Hard working. Tenacious. Capable. Reliable. Empathetic. Trustworthy

The other benefit of a Merger is conversations with your competitors are easier to start than a normal takeover acquisition.

ASK THE EXPERT

D O W E H AV E T H E R I G H T T Y P E S OF HOMES IN BOURNEMOUTH TO M EE T D EMAN D? Your local property experts bring you the latest industry news, this month written by Nick Richards, Sales Director on behalf of Foxes Sales & Lettings. Would it surprise you to know that in some parts of Bournemouth – largely prosperous areas with high proportions of mature residents – the housing crisis is not about supply but rather dispersal of that supply? There are more than enough bedrooms for everyone – it’s just that those bedrooms are disproportionately spread among the population. Some better-off, more mature households live in large homes with multiple spare bedrooms, whilst younger Bournemouth families face over-crowding. But it’s not the fault of those well-off mature residents that this is the current situation. Let’s be frank, Bournemouth doesn’t have enough housing full stop, otherwise we wouldn’t have the large council house waiting list and so many of the younger generations renting instead of buying. But until now it hasn’t been clear that Bournemouth actually also has the wrong types of properties. We’re not building the smaller homes in Bournemouth that are needed for first-time buyers, and we aren’t building enough properties such as bungalows for older generations, so they can be released from their larger Bournemouth homes. When we compare the BH8 postcode with the national picture, BH8 has more detached homes and significantly less terraced/town houses. There has been a shortage of smaller townhouses and smaller apartments built locally – and new-home builders currently have no incentive to build the inexpensive homes or bungalows that the system needs to make a difference. Read more about how this impacts on the local property market, and how it might be addressed in the future, at www.bournemouthpropertyblog.com Est.1996

Cynics suggest leaseholds exist to line the pockets of landlords, and even the Government is now questioning whether ground rents should be payable at all. Not for the first time, it is undertaking a review of leasehold tenure to see whether there could be a more equitable solution.

Porcelain is becoming an increasingly popular alternative to stone patio slabs. Porcelain paving has a very low porosity, meaning no stains, no water damage, and no need for sealing. Unlike traditional stone paving, the quality of our porcelain does not wear over time and have a beautiful finish with an assortment of colours and styles, all on display at our Ferndown and Dorchester depots.

ASK THE EXPERT

I S J A PA N E S E K N O T W E E D , S TO P P I N G YO U R SA L E ?

M Y S TA F F ’ S FAV O U R I T E WO RD… “ E VENT”

Gardens are a key asset to any property, but sometimes they house unwanted residents – Japanese knotweed. The presence of this plant can:• Reduce the area of garden you can enjoy • Cause problems when selling your home • Depress the comparative value of your property • Lose a Sale

I’ll start with an apology for the current unsettled weather patterns we seem to be experiencing. Every year as soon as I utter the word “Event” it usually transpires that the clouds appear & heavens open for the foreseeable future, this year being no different!

PBA Solutions, your local Japanese knotweed management company are able to confront these issues and provide a solution to manage or completely remove the Japanese knotweed from your property.

The second thing that usually happens as soon as I say the word “Event” is that my Ops Director quietly reminds me of that time, our entire 150 seater alfresco restaurant & bar was battered by freak hurricane-like storms and giant swells to the point where we had to re-build the entire thing in 24 hours & she had to cling to a marquee pole for dear life for majority of the charade; which is usually followed by a comment about my being “mad” to even consider running such a thing again…

The real burden Japanese knotweed presents homeowners is through ground contamination. The rhizome which is highly invasive, rapidly impacts large volumes of soil. The best solution is excavation as this permanently removes the problem and is the best option if you are looking to build on Japanese knotweed impacted land.

Taking on board such trusty advice, as always, here we are on the brink of events season and boy have Zim Braai got a line up for you this summer!

Alternatively herbicide control, while requiring a longer time frame, is more economical. Herbicide treatment can effectively stop Japanese knotweed growth and within 2-3 years get the infestation into abeyance. We offer either a Pay-as-you-Go option, or if you are selling, a Mortgage Compliant Management Plan and 10 Year Insurance Backed Guarantee. This is best suited to the homeowner who wants to take care of their most valuable asset.

With our handcrafted Braai having just this minute been delivered, thoughts have turned all things outdoors as we gear up for our appearance at the infamous Sandpolo and Sandfest 2019 as well as our collaboration with Dorset Cruises for the very first, after hours soiree on Brownsea Island. If you ever want to make a Braai Chef happy - send him to the beach. I’ve never seen a team so animated to get out into the open, but then it was to be expected from the SA crew! We can also see how well they fair on grass at Grooves on the Green…

PBA Solutions have assisted local developers in the excavation of Japanese knotweed in Sandbanks, Poole and Bournemouth. We have also supported many local homeowners to manage their Japanese knotweed infestation, enabling them to sell their property. We can even assist where mortgages against such properties have been a problem.

Think Bunny Chows and Boere-Rolls & Broodjies in the sunshine with the aroma of wood fired grill meandering its way across the sand - What could be better?

So if you have a problem with Japanese knotweed, PBA have the Solution.

Lakeside luxury without the crowds Fresh water fun is on the agenda for Josie Clarke during a short break to Ascona on Lake Maggiore. Just before I set off abroad for the first time - a good 20 years ago - I wrote up a list of must-see destinations, and the Italian Lakes were at number three. I've seen a lot of the world since then, but the lakes always somehow lost out, mainly because of my quest to avoid crowds of like-minded tourists. But there is a way of seeing one of the most beautiful places in the world without joining the hordes. Lake Maggiore has a shoreline straddling international borders in the Alps, with the calm and pretty hideaway of Ascona, in Switzerland's southernmost canton Ticino, set within sight of neighbouring nation Italy.

Ascona is Switzerland's lowest lying town. It sits at 196 meters above sea level on the northern shore of Lake Maggiore. Ascona is famous for its mild climate, its old town and a lake promenade which is dotted with street cafes and, frequently, art installations. After flying into Zurich, a relaxed two-hour train trip delivers you to this Mediterranean gem where the glamorous Hotel Eden Roc opens out into a lakeside playground surrounded by snow-capped peaks. Built in 1971, the hotel is spread out over three buildings, each with its own distinctive style. The main wing features quirky and vibrantly furnished rooms created by Swiss architect and designer Carlo Rampazzi. The right wing is more reserved, with blue, green and yellow colour schemes, while the adjoining Eden Roc Marina is more youthful, with a fresh nautical 1960s style.

Its extraordinary location can mean starting the day with a hike through valleys before lunch in a local grotto (a rustic-style restaurant to us), capped off with a spot of paddle boarding from the hotel's beach, even in May when temperatures are often well into the 20s. On this occasion, the locals are throwing their hands up in despair at the overcast conditions, which for this firsttimer, means stunning views over the lake as the misty clouds appear to settle on the water. It also means a boat trip over a millpond-like lake to the Brissago Islands, a tiny subtropical paradise rich with exotic plants where we wander through gardens filled with lotus blossom, giant sequoias, cypresses, banana plants and even eucalyptus trees.

Sommelier Walter Martinat guides us down past the hotel's buzzing kitchen to the cellar for a tasting of the best local wines. Merlot is the most popular grape in the region, used to produce both red and white wines, the latter perfect for the range of seafood on the restaurants' menus. La Casetta is an idyllic lake house on the edge of Eden Roc's lawns, with an open-air view out over the lake and a menu specialising in fish and pasta. But for our last evening, we dined inside the hotel at La Brezza, whose 27-year-old Italian chef Marco Campanella has recently been awarded a Michelin star for his "fresh, imaginative and colourful Mediterranean cuisine that appeals to the eyes and the palate". His food is a welcome alternative to the more traditional Swiss mountain cuisine, especially in the warmer months.

ASK THE EXPERT

A R E YO U A T I R E D L A N D LO R D ? Are you a tired landlord? Have you had any heart palpitations or sleepless nights worrying about if you are up to date with all the legislations? Can you name the 170 new legislations that have come into force in the last few years? Can you remember why you first became a landlord? Was it to supplement your income or to give you an income when you retired? Did you ever imagine that one day you would be feeling the way you do today? The fines are huge! They could wipe out years of your profit and have you banned as a landlord going forward! So… why are you not using an agent? A decent agent will take over the legislations for you and make sure you are compliant – surely that is worth your health and

your bank account.

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.

I recently had a landlord with 10 properties come into my office, sat in front of me and gave me the list of addresses, tenant contact details and said, ‘I don’t want the worry anymore, please look after them for me’. He had been reading this column for the last 8 years and knew they would be in good hands. Please, please, please, it is really not worth your health if you are worried. Ring me, talk to me, come and have a coffee with me and let’s just have a chat.

10 things to think about Before you Buy a shower

AnA Rezende, Designer at ripples Bournemouth

Your LifestYLe

Your options

Your Water pressure

Your future

Before you jump straight in think about how you shower and who will be using the shower, these are questions that I ask my clients, so it’s important that you ask yourself them too.

You might like the look of an overhead shower (hotelinspired designs are big news after-all) but think about your options, maybe you might also want to incorporate a handheld shower too, perfect for those of you that don’t want to get your hair wet and is essential for rinsing out the shower afterwards.

Before you consider which shower you’re going to opt for, think about your water pressure. Do you have a gravity fed system, combination boiler or pressurised system? Also consider the size of your water tank, is it large enough to meet your water needs?

If this is your forever home then you certainly need to think about future-proofing the shower. You should be thinking about non-slip tiles, grab bars (which you might be shocked to hear can actually be surprisingly stylish) and maybe even a seat area in your shower. To give your seat a more luxurious feel, top with mosaics or stone.

Your space

Create the biggest shower you can out of the amount of space you have, it really is as simple as that. Whether that’s a walk-in shower or a shower enclosure, both can be designed to look exactly how you want them.

Your LaYout

Your approach

Think about the layout of the whole room, if you’re going for a walk-in shower then place furniture away from the shower so you minimize how wet items get.

To the shower, that is. If you can avoid it, try not to have a step into your shower instead go for a flush level floor, which can be achieved with a very shallow tray, or a tiled gradient floor.

Ripples Bournemouth, 34-36 Seamoor Road, Westbourne, Bournemouth, Dorset BH4 9AS Tel: 01202 766886

Your heating

Your storage

Your Lighting

Think about adding under floor heating and wall heating (yes really) to dry up moisture, this will give off a low level heat and heat your tiles. Now when you step out of the shower you won’t fill a chill but thanks to heated floors and walls your room will remain warm. Luxury redefined.

Think about creating a shower recess to store your bottles that might normally clutter the floor of your shower. Stylish and practical.

At Ripples we offer customized lighting solutions for your shower, maybe you want lighting that changes at the click of a button, lighting placed on a timer or on a PIR sensor (so that when someone steps in the shower, it automatically comes on), these are all options.

Creating a stylish ‘man space’ minus the cliches Lads’ pads are well and truly out of fashion. Gabielle Fagan sources interiors tips for dapper rooms - and avoiding ‘decor divorce’. Gone are the days when all men are decor dinosaurs, whose idea of furnishing a room is one large sofa, a giant flat screen and a coffee table (for resting feet and cans). They’re fast becoming an endangered species, as a new style-savvy species emerges - and he’s just as likely to follow his favourite designers on Instagram as his favourite football team, and has a crystal clear idea of what his home should look like. Whatever his style - funky, streamlined, classic or vintage - it’s likely a world away from the stereotypical ‘man cave’, says David Harris, design director of ubertrendy interiors destination, Andrew Martin. “Men have never been so savvy about design and interiors as they are today. The huge growth of Pinterest and Instagram has opened up interior design to everyone, and interiors inspiration is everywhere,” Harris points out.

Size matters “In general, masculine-style interiors embrace large-scale designs - such as furniture or focal-point walls - rather than layers of cosy accessories,” says Claire Hornby, head of creative at Barker & Stonehouse. “We’ve seen a surge over the years for oversized pieces of furniture, which command attention within a room, thanks to their bold and contemporary aesthetic,” she adds. “The sturdy straight lines of larger statement pieces give an illusion of strength, and oversized leather sofas or armchairs are a great way to soften the atmosphere of a space, without changing the overall aesthetic.” Reassuringly, she believes there’s no need for conflict if you’re sharing a space. “Creating a masculine room doesn’t have to mean it won’t appeal to all,” she says - if you opt for an elegant setting with masculine undertones (possibly in natural materials and darker shades), which convey warmth, strength and a sense of personality, without being overbearing. For

final

flourish,

Hornby

suggests:

“Convey

personality without clutter with different finishes, from metallic to varnished wood, and add artwork together with a few well-chosen accessories.”

“Design ideas, such as funky neon artworks, modern art wallpapers, architectural lighting ranges, and great furniture covered in rich velvets and leathers, is helping to attract a more masculine following. Men now feel more confident than ever about their interior ideas, and they want to show off their tastes.” But what if you’re not quite there with your decor, or even more challenging - have to share your taste and space with a partner? Around 60% of couples argue about decor, and 40% say they wouldn’t even move in with someone if they hated their interiors, according to recent research by Mattress Online. Fear not - as four design experts have come to the rescue. Here, they reveal their tips on creating a supersmart ‘man space’ and how to avoid a decor divorce...

Keep it simple “Our male customers are making bolder choices and expressing their desire to show their personality in their decor choices,” says Tony Berardis, home design stylist at John Lewis. “The key to creating a stylish man’s room is to keep it simple. Opt for multi-functional, sleek pieces in industrial or mid-century styles, that can be softened with a few choice accessories,” he adds. “As with any room, comfort is king - so don’t shy away from a few cushions and throws, which will encourage you to relax and entertain. Make the space your own by including your favourite pieces of art and photographs of your friends and family.” If the industrial/reclaimed look is on your radar, another destination to consider is Smithers of Stamford, which has a wealth of choice for stylish men. One star is a made-to-order Massey Ferguson Tractor Reclaimed Desk (£2,260, smithersofstamford.com).

more for specific spaces and lifestyles, and with different looks in mind. “There are simple ways to add masculine touches to a home without going full-on bachelor pad,” she adds. “Some statement artwork can add personality, while conforming to a bold aesthetic. Or look to the floor and use a rug as ‘art’, which can be striking.” Wassermann’s tip is to avoid a predictable ‘man pad’ recliner, and instead opt for a comfortable chair which suits a room’s style, whether that’s pared-back Nordic or more of a retro vibe. “Invest in a well-designed quality piece and consider materials like leather or mango wood, which will add a more industrialised feel, bringing warmth without being exclusively masculine,” she adds. For a finishing touch, she suggests dressing the bed with on-trend linen, rather than cotton - ideal for a simple, masculine setting. “It’s muted, more natural tones,” she says, “like greys and stone wash, allow for different textures and colours to be integrated with throws and cushions.” Words by Gabrielle Fagan, Press Association

experienced and dedicated team based at our Parley workshop will make it their mission, for you to get the most out of your outdoor space for the best price possible. Also due to the ever increasing importance to recycle and protect the environment, the plastic used is recycled in the UK and is the perfect alternative to wood. Our aims are to help rebuild the environment by utilising a commodity, which people would otherwise just throw away, and so turn what to some would be rubbish into a valuable product for everybody.

ABOUT REFORMED PLASTICS At Reformed Plastics we offer a wide range of standard products from benches to bollards, and decking to dining sets and more, all manufactured from 100% recycled plastics! However because we hand make everything to order, we’re able to customise products to your bespoke requirements in a variety of colours, sizes and styles.

Tips to help you sell your house this summer? Adding a bit of colour and flair to your front garden could boost your chances of a speedy sale. Hannah Stephenson discovers quick-fix solutions. If you’re hoping to sell your house this summer, remember that first impressions count. If you have a front garden, this is the first thing potential buyers will see, so it’s worth making sure it looks its best. It doesn’t have to cost a fortune to spruce up your space, though. A few large strategically-placed pots brimming with colourful annuals can make all the difference, as can the use of greenery and climbers to hide unsightly dustbins or other eyesores. Gardening trends expert and author Kendra Wilson, who has teamed up with eBay.co.uk to advise gardeners of the best solutions, says: “An enviable garden needn’t be an expensive garden. Create your own oasis with a few simple tricks and keep an eye on the latest trends.”

5. Make the most of climbers If you already have climbers such as wisteria and clematis, make sure they are tied in and neatly pruned, which will give a great impression before any potential buyer goes over the threshold. Want to hide eyesores like dustbins or drainpipes? Hide them with climbers such as cultivars of the honeysuckle Lonicera japonica, which will be fine in pots if you keep them well-watered throughout the summer months. It may be worth erecting a trellis frame around the dustbin area then tie in the climbers as they grow. For a really quick fix use variegated ivy, which shouldn’t take long to create a screen. You can buy semi-circular trellis specifically designed to frame the drainpipe and attach climbers to train up it. If you don’t have soil, you can always plant climbers such as Clematis armandii in pots and - provided you keep them well-watered and shade their roots by topping the pot of compost with decorative stones or gravel - they

should soon start climbing.

If your front garden is just paved, lift a couple of slabs to make space for creeping plants such as thyme, which will also attract bees and other pollinating insects. 7. Use evergreens There are some great evergreens you can put into pots and place either side of your front door which will create a grander entrance. Dwarf conifers are ideal and you could use topiary or standard box, laurel or holly. 8. Think about plants you can take with you If you want to add instant impact, plant a tree in a pot, which you’ll be able to take with you. Consider where you’re moving to and where you’ll house your potted plant. Will it thrive in sunshine or shade, does it need a sheltered spot or will it thrive in any condition?

RB Prestige and the FCA ensuring clarity for all! The Financial Conduct Authority aim to protect and enhance the integrity of the UK financial system and RB Prestige work within those guidelines to ensure that car buying clients are given every chance of making an informed decision, very much with the future in mind. The concern with things like this is that it stops everything being fun for both the client and the dealer. You need to be sure that, while enjoying the new car experience, it isn’t hiding a multitude of problems that could be presenting themselves to you much further down the line. So, we try and lift the fog of the FCA as much as possible, enabling every client, whether buying a Ford or Ferrari, to enjoy their car even more because they CAN see the road ahead.

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

MG ZS EV DEBUT MG Motor UK’s first fully electric car, the ZS EV, will make its UK showroom debut in September, the company has announced. MG has already received 800 expressions of interest for its forthcoming new model, which is the most for any pre-launched model in the company’s history. Daniel Gregorious, Head of Sales and Marketing at MG Motor UK, says: “The arrival of the ZS EV adds a new dimension to the car market by offering high-tech zero emissions transport to a broader cross-section of buyers.” The ZS EV will come with the brand’s fully transferrable 7-year Warranty. Pricing and full specifications will be confirmed closer to the launch date.

R O A D T E S T: F O R D E C O S P O R T T I TA N I U M Ford’s Ecosport is a small SUV with neat styling which projects a robust image and most models are well-equipped and keenly-priced so you see a lot of them on the road, underlining Ford’s strong presence in a crowded SUV market, writes NICK FLETCHER. The EcoSport is priced from £17,850 and offers petrol and diesel engines and several trim levels, with my Titanium test model with 1.5 litre diesel engine, manual gearbox and all-wheel-drive near the top of the range and priced at £23,655. You get a lot of standard kit including large alloy wheels, roof rails, part-leather upholstery, automatic air-conditioning, cruise control, sat-nav with touch-screen and connectivity features including smartphone mirroring, auto headlights and wipers, rear-view camera and rear parking sensors, keyless entry and pushbutton start, four powered windows and safety kit including stability control, tyre-pressure monitoring and hill-start assist. Based on the best-selling Fiesta model, the EcoSport is a contender in a very competitive sector which includes the SEAT Arona, Renault Captur, Peugeot 2008 and Mazda CX-3 but the

Ford scores well for generous equipment levels and keen pricing. The cabin looks smart, with soft-touch materials, good dashboard layout and comfortable seating. It’s roomy for four adults and while the bootspace is not largest in the class at 356 litres, it does expand to 1,238 litres with rear seats folded. However, a major drawback is that the EcoSport has a side-opening tailgate which makes loading more awkward. On the road, EcoSport drives well, and while the steering feel is rather heavier than on most rivals, it does enhance the sense of composure and driver control. The suspension is on the firm side but perfectly comfortable on all but the roughest surfaces. The 123 hp 1.5 litre diesel unit has a 0-60 mph time of 11.3 seconds and top speed of 112 mph, and emissions are 140 g/km. Average fuel economy is 43.5 mpg. While the Ford Ecosport is not best in class in every category, it does come across as the stand-out all-rounder and that is reflected in its impressive sales figures – over 100,000 sold across Europe in 2018.

R O A D T E S T: H Y U N D A I I 3 0 FA S T B A C K N Hyundai is well-established as a manufacturer of reliable value-for money family cars but has now extended its range by creating a potent hot-hatchback which offers searing performance and outstanding handling, writes NICK FLETCHER. The Hyundai i30 Fastback N packs a 2.0 litre 271 hp turbo-petrol engine giving a punchy 0-60 mph time of 6.1 seconds and a top speed of 155 mph, pitching it alongside noted rivals such as the VW Golf GTI and Honda Civic Type R. Average fuel economy is 34 mpg and emissions are 178 g/km. The i30 Fastback N is priced at £29,995 and has a high level of standard equipment, though most buyers will be initially impressed with the car’s performance attributes. Lowered suspension, adjustable dampers, limited-shift differential, performance tyres, reinforced brakes, torque-vectoring and drive-mode buttons which include Launch Control show that Hyundai is serious in its attempt to give this new model immediate hot-hatch credibility. Other features include sport seats, rear diffuser and spoiler, twin exhausts and black exterior detailing which all underline the performance characteristics.

Underway the Fastback N delivers eager responsive power via its slick 6-speed gearbox and corners with such poise and composure it appears to be glued to the surface. The car is well balanced and always feels assured even on demanding roads, with excellent steering feedback and powerful brakes. Standard safety features include lane departure warning, forward collision warning with auto emergency braking, and a driver attention alert. Other standard kit includes digital radio, Bluetooth, sat-nav, connectivity features, cruise control, wireless phone charging, keyless entry and push- button start. The Fastback N is a five-door door hatch with sleek coupe-styling. The cabin is

well designed and well laid out for easy use though the dashboard does lack the visual impact you might expect in a high-performace model. However, the car offers good accommodation for four - or if necessary five - occupants and has a large 450-litre boot which highlights its practicality. Hyundai deserves congratulations for its bold move in creating this striking and engaging sporty challenger which has outstanding driving and handling dynamics and is worthy of its place among the big-name hot-hatch pack leaders. And like all Hyundai models, it comes with the brand’s famous five-year unlimited mileage warranty – another plus-point.

R O A D T E S T: S U Z U K I J I M N Y S Z 5 A L L G R I P Suzuki’s tiny four-wheel-drive Jimny has been around for many years in virtually unchanged form but now there is an allnew version which looks less cute and more formidable, writes NICK FLETCHER. New Jimny is still very small but has more purposeful styling and looks quite cool, an important element in an imageconscious market. It still has selectable 4WD with low-ratio transfer box which means it is amazing capable off road, often able to venture into terrain that larger 4WD models cannot cope with.

is very well equipped with automatic airconditioning, cruise control, digital radio and CD player, Bluetooth, LED headlights, rear privacy glass, alloy wheels, and sat-nav with touchscreen and smartphone link. Safety features include stability control, lane departure warning, hill descent control and tyre pressure monitoring. The cabin is narrow but functional, with good dashboard layout and comfortable seating. The two rear seats will accommodate adults but luggage space is then very limited at just 85 litres. But with

Powered by a 1.5 litre 100 hp petrol engine and 5-speed manual gearbox (there is a 4-speed auto option), the Jimny has a 0-60 mph time of 12 seconds and top speed of 90 mph. Average fuel economy is 41.5 mpg and emissions are 154 g/km.

The Jimny can double as a neat versatile rural vehicle with strong off-road and towing ability, or as a practical and nimble city car with eye-catching cachet. On tarmac, ride quality is firm but quite acceptable and the handling is agile thanks revised steering which gives much-improved feedback and a greater sense of control. I found the 4-speed auto transmission rather over-busy but most buyers will go for the slick manual gearbox. The previous Jimny had a lot of friends and this updated and enhanced version will win many more. It looks good, drives well, and there is nothing truly comparable or as capable at the price.

R O A D T E S T: I S U Z U D M A X AT 3 5 Isuzu’s D Max has won many ‘best pick-up’ awards and its latest D Max AT 35 has added to the list by being voted Pick Up Of The Year 2019 by a top commercial vehicle magazine, writes NICK FLETCHER. The AT stands for Arctic Trucks – a more rugged double-cab version of the D Max, with raised height, upgraded suspension and massive tyres to aid off-road performance. Other AT features include black alloy wheels, flared wheel arches, extended profile side steps, improved seats with leather upholstery and gloss black cabin trim, all of which help provide a more premium feel. Also standard on the D-Max Arctic Trucks AT35 is trailer sway control which uses sensors to detect trailer swing and reduce vehicle speed if sway is identified. Speed is controlled by reducing engine torque and braking automatically. Pricing for the AT 35 versions start at £38,545 excluding VAT and while the version I tested had an automatic gearbox, manual transmission is also available. The 1.9 litre diesel engine gives 161 hp and the 0-60 mph time is 15 seconds, good for a vehicle of this size and weight. Top speed is 112 mph, emissions are 205 g/km and average fuel economy is 36.2 mpg. The AT35 makes an awesome visual impression with its massive 35-inch tyres, flared arches and raised ground clearance – whenever it

was parked, people gathered around to take a closer look! On the road, it offers surprisingly car-like driving, with easy-feel power steering and smooth auto gearshifts. Engine noise level is a little greater than some rivals but in a way, the faint growly sound adds to the character of this mighty beast. Off-road it is remarkably adept at tackling tough terrain, partly due to special performance suspension which offers better angles for overcoming obstacles. While the AT35 is primarily a strong capable workhorse, it also comes with a luxurystyled cabin and a wealth of standard equipment including multi-function colour touch-screen, eight-speaker sound system, Bluetooth connectivity, sat-nav, front and rear powered windows, push-button start, auto air conditioning, projector headlights, roof bars, and heated front seats. Other features include hill start and hill descent controls, front and rear parking senors and rear-view camera. Cabin accommodation seats five comfortably and the rear seats fold flat for extra load space and the tailgate section comes with a strong plastic liner. All in all, it’s a great specification for a model which is great in both size and capability, and it underlines the AT35 as the must-have ultimate version of the formidable Isuzu D Max.

NEW AUDI A6 BL ACK EDITIONS Audi has launched new Black Editions for all variants in the latest A6 Saloon and Avant range. It builds on S line model with black exterior detailing, privacy glass and larger wheels finished in matt titanium. Prices start at £44,635. All the mild hybrid power trains in the range can be combined with the new specification, and features include exclusive front and rear styling applications, tauter sport suspension and an upgrade from the standard LED headlights to segmented Matrix LED units capable of diverting their beams around leading or oncoming traffic. Inside, front sport seats in leather and Alcantara, a perforated leather multifunction sport steering wheel with shift paddles and dark brushed aluminium inlays lend a suitably sporting air. Comfort and convenience on board can be enhanced by options such as powered door closure, acoustic glazing and a 1,920-watt Bang & Olufsen 3D sound system. Numerous electronic driver assistants can also be specified including adaptive cruise assist, side assist, camera-based traffic sign recognition and high beam assist which are grouped into Tour and City Assist option packs.

Missing Teeth? IT'S A WHOLE LOT EASIER THAN YOU THINK... Why should you replace a missing tooth? Your appearance is one reason. Another is that the gap left by a missing tooth can mean a greater strain on the teeth at either side. A gap can also mean your â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;biteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is affected, because the teeth next to the space can lean into the gap and alter the way the upper and lower teeth bite together. This can then lead to food getting packed in-between adjacent teeth and the gap, which causes both decay and gum disease. This problem is easily solved and much more cost-effective than you might think. Can you guess which tooth below is a dental implant?

DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT... "To my dentally-challenged fellow sufferer's I arrived at Philip McCauley's clinic 6 months ago, a toothless crone destined for a diet of boiled cod and pureed parsnips. My lack of molars however were pure joy to the inestimable Mr McCauley, indeed his raison d'etre, and he set about with gusto restoring my ability to masticate meat. With regard to the dentist's chair, I must confess to a modicum of hysteria, so it was with relief that, at each visit, the team treated me with kindness - maintaining my dignity whilst gently wrestling away my emergency vodka and unprising my fingers from Mr McCauley's legs. Never did I hear a snigger or see a smirk - not when my terrified rictus revealed a slither of spinach adhering to my cavities or during my Temazepam-induced rendition of Molly Malone. My whole-hearted thanks to Philip McCauley and his team - I now sport a full set and it was worth every penny of my children's inheritance." Mrs A. H.

TEETH IN A DAY Why have teeth in a day? Did you know that you can get the closest thing to a real tooth or permanent teeth in just one day? With no hospital appointments, no general anaesthesia, and a 98% success rate, dental implants could be the solution that you have been looking for. With new advances in dentistry, the dental implant procedure, including multiple implants, can be placed with bespoke teeth made in our on-site lab in just one day.

What is the 'teeth in a day' procedure? After an initial assessment and consultation, if you wish to continue you will be booked in for your ‘teeth in a day’ procedure. ‘Teeth in a day’ isn’t a single type of procedure but a technique which enables many different dental implant procedures to be carried out in just one day. There are many different implant procedures from single tooth implants, multiple tooth implants, All-On-Four, Weld-One, over dentures strengthened by implants and more. The dental surgeon will talk through your specific treatment with you, explain everything, answer any questions, as well as talk to you about any fears of phobias you may have. The dental technician will consult closely with you to match the best shade and shape for your smile and then make your teeth on-site.

What to expect on the day? Once you have consulted with our team and agreed to a treatment plan you will then be treated for any oral health problems that you may have prior to the procedure, if any. Depending on the procedure, your dental surgeon will place one, two or multiple dental implants into your jawbone. These will be used to support your teeth. Our dental surgeon may take impressions or do a digital scan after the implants have been placed so that provisional teeth or an implant-retained denture can be made on-site the same day. Or they may create a fixed solution on-site. The final teeth will be sculpted by our dental technician during the healing process. The provisional is used so you can have teeth in place during the 4-6 month healing period, which will be very similar to the final teeth, fitted after this healing time. The provisional is so that you can see what you like and dislike about your teeth; consider the colour, shade, shape and position. The final teeth are designed in the dental laboratory so that any changes can be made with no delays. The teeth in a day procedure is not suitable for all patients, this can be for a range of different reasons from periodontal health to bone recession.

Call now to book a free consultation to discuss teeth in a day!

Ennis-Hill is also really passionate about her gentle pregnancy and post-birth plans, that help guide new mums through the often confusing landscape of pre and postnatal fitness. She offers access to the exact workouts she followed during and after her own pregnancies, with son Reggie, who turns five in July, and one-year-old daughter, Olivia.
