Meze Review_Double Page Editorial 16/04/2018 09:42 Page 1

e Review

Meze Greek Restaurant My Partner and I visited the Meze Greek restaurant, located in the beautiful market town of Ellesmere. As we arrived, we took a moment to admire the outside of the building with its bright colours which made it stand out from the rest. We entered and were warmly welcomed by our waiter for the evening. e building inside itself is full of charm and charisma and the décor reflects the authentic Greek and Cyprus feel.

As we took a seat at our table, Ashleigh was drawn to the drinks menu, deciding on a dry white wine; Mediterra, Sauvignon Blanc Vilana. For me a cold glass of water as I was the driver for the evening. Ashleigh was really impressed with the wine; a dry wine which was light and crispy and a fantastic choice. What makes this even more authentic is the fact the wine comes from the village of Kounavi of the Nikos Kazantzakis municipality in the prefecture of Heraklion in Crete – a nice touch.

“

We were given the first taste of the ‘Meze at Meze’ menu, a new option that has been introduced to the give you the opportunity not only to try dishes you wouldn’t normally choose but also to really give you a really authentic Greek experience.

“

10 Eating Out

is was a special evening as we were given the first taste of the Meze at Meze, with the new Meze option being introduced to the menu, giving you the opportunity not only to try dishes you wouldn’t normally choose but to really give you the feeling that you are on a wonderful holiday in Greece or Cyprus. To start things off we were brought some Greek flatbread - served warm accompanied with the Tzantziki – Greek yoghurt, cucumber, garlic, oliver oil and Hummus – chick peas, tahini, garlic, lemon, olive oil and finally some olives. e Greek flatbread bread was to die for; warm and fluffy and with the Tzantziki and hummus. is was a fantastic start to the experience with everything working so well together and bursting with flavours. With so many more treats to come, we were extremely eager to sample the next dishes.

Next on the menu was Beetroot and Potato Salad, feta saganaki, feta cheese baked with tomato, olive oil and oregano and the grilled halloumi; a traditional Cyprus dish. e beetroot and potato salad was flawless and worked perfectly together. Ashleigh has never been a huge fan of feta cheese but with the combination of baked tomatoes and olive oil and oregano, her opinion was changed in a single mouthful - she absolutely loved the dish, and I couldn’t have agreed more. Grilled Halloumi is a dish we have had on several occasions previously, mostly when we have been to Cyprus on holiday on a number of occasions and although the halloumi is fantastic over there, on this occasion it

Meze Review_Double Page Editorial 16/04/2018 09:42 Page 2

surpassed our expectations, it was brilliant; soft and grilled perfectly.

As we continued our evening there was a steady flow of people entering the restaurant which added to the atmosphere even more. For our next dishes we started off with the Dolmades; vine leaves stuffed with rice, lemon and dill and Gigantes; butter beans in tomato sauce topped with feta, as well as Mushrooms and Feta; mushrooms in white wine with oregano and feta cheese and to finish off a Greek Salad with cucumber, green pepper, onion, olives and feta cheese. e Dolmades and Gigantes were a pleasant surprise, we have never sampled these dishes before and didn’t know what to expect. ey were fantastic and something we would definitely order again in future. e Mushrooms and Feta was equally as impressive; perfect texture, combined with stunning flavours which made this one of my personal favourites for the evening.

Next up was the Mousaka, a very traditional Greek dish, with layers of potato and aubergine topped with minced beef, cooked in a tomato sauce and topped with creamy béchamel with Souvlaki; tender cuts of chicken, pork and lamb marinated and chargrilled on skewers. e Mousaka was simply brilliant, nice and creamy and bursting with flavour. e Souvlaki were the perfect way to bring the main dishes to an end, the meat was cooked fantastically; a treat for any meat lover!

For dessert we had Baklava and a traditional Greek Coffee. Baklava is a rich, sweet pastry dessert - with layers of filo filled with chopped nuts and sweetened and held together with syrup or honey. is was a perfect end to both the meal and the evening. We had certainly been spoiled by the delicious dishes on offer and wonderful staff. Meze Greek Restaurant in Ellesmere offers a great experience and for me is one of, if not the best food establishments in the area. e consistent quality was phenomenal throughout the evening and I would highly recommend a visit to try out this Meze menu.

Saving Money...

AUTOMATIC RENEWAL – e Biggest Con of All??...

aving money isn’t easy, even at the best of times. With the current financial climate looking a little bit unsettled and the rising cost of everyday items, it seems to be getting harder for many of us to make ends meet. It’s not just things like doing your shopping at Aldi instead of Tesco or not buying those big ticket items that can help you can save money. Looking at some of those things we pay for without really thinking about it – like gas and electricity, insurance or even bank charges can make a big difference to our pockets.

S

It is important to regularly look at your outgoings and expenditure. Lots of us use online banking and there are some clever Apps available that can help you easily breakdown where the majority of your money is going and this can be a useful first step in working out how to make some savings on everyday costs.

My husband and I recently delved into our finances, in particular our insurances were what we wanted to look into. Simple things like house, pet or car insurance can soon add up to a small fortune. We had decided to get some new quotes on our home insurance after receiving an automatic renewal from our current insurance company; Bradford & Bingley – which had almost tripled even though we had never made a claim. After

jumping onto Google and finding a comparison site (we used comparethemarket.com), we popped our details in and were shocked to find the lowest quote was actually our current insurer. The price on the site was near to the same as our previous year and nearly a third of our autorenewal price. We then called them up, and they were happy to offer the price we had found online. But it really just goes to show how these companies rely on people just allowing their policies to automatically renew without looking into them or getting alternative quotes. I suppose the fact is most of us are busy and really can’t be bothered but after looking at our other insurances we found a similar pattern across the board, our car insurance renewal was much cheaper and again our pet insurance was near enough tripled on the automatic renewal. We worked out that over the year we could save nearly £2000 by going online to compare prices across all of our policies and it only took us an hour or so – that pays for a holiday!

There are lots of comparison sites which cover loads of things like bank

e Moscow Mule is the stuff Cherries were made for.

Try this simple yet yummy Cherry cocktail for the ultimate twist on a fabulous classic.

Ingredients PER GLASS Fresh or Glace Cherries (to garnish) 8 fl.oz. Ginger Beer 1 Shot of your favourite Vodka Juice of 1 squeezed Lime 2 tsp Cherry Juice (from a jar of cherries is fine) Fresh Lime Wedges (to garnish) Ice Cubes

Mix well, and garnish with cherries on top and a lime wedge...

1) Preheat oven to 130C or 110C fan Assissted. Using a pencil, draw an 10cm circle on 6 pieces of baking paper. Spray your oven tray lightly with oil and place the paper on them, pencil side down. Beat the egg whites until it forms soft peaks.

Add sugar gradually, beating well after each addition, until thick and glossy, then finally beat in the vanilla.

2) Spread the meringue onto the paper within the pencil lines. Bake for an hour, swapping from the top to bottom shelf halfway through. Turn off the oven, open door slightly and leave to cool completely.

3) Meanwhile, make your Cherry sauce, combine the sugar with 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Stir over low heat without boiling until the sugar has dissolved. Add the cherries and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for about 78 minutes, or until the liquid has become syrupy. Strain into a jug and cool completely.

4) To serve, place one disc of meringue onto a serving plate.

Celebrity Tour - Britney_Double Page Editorial 06/03/2018 10:46 Page 1

EXCLUSIVE TOUR 31 August 2018, Genting Arena

Multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning pop icon Britney Spears is one of the most successful and celebrated entertainers in pop history with nearly 150 million records worldwide. In the U.S. alone, she has sold more than 70 million albums, singles and songs, according to Nielsen Music. Born in Mississippi and raised in Louisiana, Spears became a household name as a teenager when she released her first single “…Baby One More Time,” a Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 smash and international hit that broke sales records with more than 20 million copies sold worldwide and is currently 14x Platinum in the U.S. Her musical career boasts countless awards and accolades, including six Billboard Music Awards and Billboard’s Millennium Award, which recognizes outstanding career achievements and influence in the music industry as well as an American Music Award and the 2011 MTV Video Vanguard Award. So far, Spears has earned a total of six No.1-debuting albums on the Billboard 200 chart and 22 top 40 hit singles on the Billboard Hot 100 — four of which went to No. 1. Spears has been nominated for eight Grammy Awards and won for Best Dance Recording in 2005.

Her cutting-edge pop concert Las Vegas residency, “Britney: Piece of Me,” at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino has been voted “Best Show in Las Vegas” and “Best Bachelorette Show in Las Vegas.” Spears also has been creating fragrances for over ten years, and currently has over 20 fragrances available in over 85 countries around the world.

Due to overwhelmingly rapid sales of legendary pop icon Britney Spears’ exclusive last time ever, limited tour of her award-winning and record-breaking show, “Britney: Piece of Me,” four additional European shows have been added due to demand, including a show at Birmingham’s Genting Arena!

Features | Live Tours

For the first and only time, “Britney: Piece of Me” will visit East Coast US and Europe for a very limited engagement for fans that were not able to see the show in Las Vegas.

Britney has today also announced that Grammy-Award winning, multi-platinum selling artist Pitbull will be joining her for the European dates on the exclusive run.

This tour follows Britney’s record-breaking, four-year headlining residency, “Britney: Piece of Me” at The AXIS at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, where Britney received rave reviews from both critics and fans alike since opening in Dec. 2013. As the first contemporary superstar resident in the city, Britney and Caesars Entertainment pioneered the groundbreaking paradigm shift and revitalized the modern era of entertainment in Las Vegas in Planet Hollywood’s world-class theater. With over 250 shows, the record-setting residency was sold out on a regular basis, generating over $140 million gross revenue and selling nearly 1 million tickets.

“Britney: Piece of Me” was voted the “Best Resident Performer,” “Best Production Show,” “Best Bachelorette Party” and “Best Bachelor Party” by readers of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Hollywood’s biggest names, such as; Beyoncé, Jay Z, Lady Gaga, Anna Kendrick, Nick Jonas, Miley Cyrus, Kirsten Dunst, Chloë Grace Moretz, Calvin Harris, Sia, Selena Gomez, Katy Perry and Steven Tyler have all attended “Piece of Me.”

This exclusive US East Coast and Europe tour is the last time anybody will see the show. Elizabeth Arden, the exclusive global licensee of the award-winning Britney Spears fragrances since 2004, will be one of the sponsors of the “Britney: Piece of Me” tour. Pepsi is a proud partner of the US East Coast “Piece of Me” tour, continuing a relationship with Britney that has lasted for more than 15 years.

Book Worms...

A black country girl who loves to read. is book is the perfect, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy that I have been waiting for. I have only read this one book

by Jo Watson, but I think she is becoming my new favourite author. It’s not often a book has me smiling, days after finishing reading it, but this one certainly does.

Sera meets Ben in a nightclub, where she has gone undercover with her two adopted gay dads JJ and Bruce, so JJ can spy on his drag queen nemesis (I know, I can’t believe I’ve just wrote that sentence either). She ends up having the most amazing sex in the back of his car, something a good girl like her has never done before. inking that’s it, she goes to work the next day, where she discovers Ben, is in fact her new boss, and he is completely in love with her! Or so he keeps telling her. Sera is adamant that nothing can happen between the two of them, but the more time they spend together, the harder it is for Sera to stay away…or does she even want to?

It’s very rare that a book has me laughing out loud, but from the very first page, but this one did exactly that. e witty dialogue between all of the characters is fantastic and kept me glued to the page, wanting more and more! e amount of sexual innuendos and suggestive comments throughout the book had me laughing and blushing but it wasn’t over the top and fit the flow of the story. Yes the story line was a little typical and I kind of guessed what was going to happen, but that didn’t stop me falling in love with this story. I became so invested that I read the book in one sitting.

I absolutely adored Ben. Like, seriously, if it was even possible to fall in love with a fictional character, then he would definitely be my pick. He was tall, dark and

Georgina Jefimik

handsome, a romantic cliche, but he was also so much more. Yes he was a little arrogant, but he was also kind, thoughtful and funny and absolutely adored Sera. He certainly didn’t need any help winning me over. It’s so refreshing for a male romantic lead to know exactly what he wants and who isn’t afraid to talk about his feelings. e chemistry between the two of them was off the charts and kept me entertained right until the very end. Both character’s were so likeable and you were rooting for both of them. Sera was so strong, passionate and selfless. She was also witty and hilarious and I loved the dialogue between her and Ben. I’m thinking the stars of the show however, are JJ and Bruce. ey were simply fantastic. ey supported Sera through all her troubles and were always there to offer a helping hand, and advice. ey took Sera in and treated her like their own daughter and there relationship is beautiful to see. I am so impressed with Jo Watson’s style of writing. She was able to adapt from being carefree and hilarious to serious and romantic and leaves readers, like myself, wanting more and more. She has a way of making you also feel embarrassed as well, as if everything that was happening to Sera was happening to me. ere were times were I wanted the ground to swallow me up whole because I could just imagine everything that happened to Sera was happening to me.

This book is the perfect choice for fans of romantic comedies and my only wish is that I didn’t read it so quickly. I rate this book five out of five stars, and now I am going to go on Amazon and buy all her other books so I have something to keep me going on this cold and wet day.

Bring on the Summer...

SUMMER BRIGHT...

Brighten things up with these pretty shades from Wilkos. Mid Sheen Emulsion Bathroom Paint Neptune £12, Hammerite Smooth Metal Paint Blue or Smooth Red 250ml £9.

COOL COPPER ...

Copper Kitchen Collection...

Wilko’s Copper Kitchen Collection has everything from mugs and bowls to kettles and microwaves.

It looks great and is bang on trend.

Add a splash of colour with the new range A by Amara from Amara

A

lthough it takes a little while to get things warmed up here in sunny Shropshire, when it does finally hot up, it’s glorious. Here are some of the top trends for your home this summer.

BOLD COLOURS

This summer one of the top trends coming through for us is ‘Bold Colours’. These eye popping accessories from A by Amara’s SS18 collection, focuses heavily on a mixture of bright colours. A These strong shades will transform your living space. The best way to make it work is by choosing one main colour to base the look around, possibly two at a push. In the picture above yellow is the key colour (curtains, vase etc...) the walls and floors are neutral colours and then the various cushions, a throw and patterned rug, some of which include elements of yellow, bring the look together perfectly. Textures are equally as important with this trend and you can have real fun mixing patterns and stripes. They amazingly go together, like peas and carrots as Forrest Gump would say.

GET SOME HOUSEPLANTS

House plants are a must have for any household, they not only look great but there are an increasing amount of health benefits from having them around. Dot them around your home, adding them to those empty corners, shelves, window sills and coffee tables in every room, even the bathroom if you like - you can’t have too many.

A COVER UP...

Not only is it a quick fix for covering a wide range of problems - Wallpaper looks fab!

We love this Arthouse Kotori Silver or Damaris Turquoise Wallpaper £34.99 both from Very

Pop along to your local garden centre or even Ikea and choose the ones that suit your capabilities. I always look for ones that need minimal care as i am not particularly green fingered.

GOOGLE HOME...

More than just a speaker.

Get weather, traffic, sports updates and more - Google Home is powered by the Google Assistant that helps you turn your home into a smart home. Using just your voice you can talk to Google to get answers to the questions you want including the latest on the weather, traffic updates, finance, sports news and more.

The Health Grapevine...

Bites, Stings and Nasty ings...

How to avoid those summer nasties.

SWIMMING OUTSIDE

Sewage Contamination...

Swimming in the seas or streams and lakes can be fun in summertime. To avoid tummy bugs from sewage make sure you pick a Blue Flag beach (check the Good Beach Guide) to minimise the risks of swimming in polluted water. Swimming in sewage-contaminated sea water can cause diarrhoea and vomiting, as well as infections of the ear, nose and throat.

DON’T GET COLD...

Swimming in cold water saps your energy making it easy to get into trouble...

B

ites and stings...

The Great British summer means deck chairs, ice-cream vans and picnics, but it also means Bees, Ants and Midges and inevitably bites and stings too.

How do you avoid these creatures feasting on you? Here’s the lowdown on a few. The humble Wasp sends people diving for cover, arms flapping in panic- it’s understandable as they can give a nasty sting which can cause swelling and itching. Some people are allergic to Wasp or Bee stings but it is unusual - See a doctor straight away if you have a severe reaction. The best way to avoid getting stung is to NOT swat them as this just makes them angry. Calmly move away instead. Avoid bright coloured clothes as these attract them and look out for nests around your garden or home. If you find one you should call your local council or a pest control expert to remove it for you.

Bee stings are painful but thankfully Bees are not aggressive like Wasps and will not

sting unless provoked. Bumble Bees can sting as many times as they wish, as they do not have a barbed sting. When Honey Bees sting they leave their barbed sting inside you and then they die. You will need to remove the stinger to prevent infection setting in. To avoid getting stung by a Bee stay calm and avoid provoking them, they are not interested in your food and drink and normally only sting in self-defence.

Ticks are common in the UK, especially in woods, moors and thick grass. Once they latch on, they cling to your skin and suck your blood. The bite isn’t painful so you can sometime get bitten without even knowing it. Ticks can transmit Lyme Disease so keep an eye out for a circular rash spreading from out from the bite site or any other symptoms of Lyme Disease and visit your doctor if this occurs. To prevent Tick bites wear long sleeves and trousers when out walking in woods or long grass and use Tick repellent.

If you find a tick remove it straight away.

Other pests that bite and sting include Mosquitos, Flower Bugs, Midges, Bedbugs, Horseflies, Ants, Spiders and Caterpillars. To find out more about avoiding and treating bites and stings visit www.nhs.uk, where you will fing lots of useful tips.

If you are not used to swimming outdoors wear a wetsuit. Don’t jump into cold water it’s better to wade in slowly. Stay close to the shore and make sure you have something warm to put on once you get out.

If you are shivering or your teeth start chattering you could develop hypothermia if you don’t get out of the water and warm up.

BLUE-GREEN ALGAE...

Stomach Upsets and Sore Eyes.

Blue-green algae can appear on lakes and ponds over summer, forming a powdery green scum. Avoid swimming in lakes that have areas of blue-green algae. Swimming in it can trigger skin rashes, stomach upsets and sore eyes.

JELLYFISH STINGS..

Jellyfish are common on UK beaches.

UK jellyfish stings aren't dangerous, but they can lead to an intense, stinging pain, sometimes with itching and a rash. Avoid swimming in waters crowded with jellyfish, and never touch a jellyfish. If you get stung remove any tentacles using tweezers or a clean stick, apply an ice pack to the affected area to help reduce pain and inflammation.

Sun-kissed summer skin is a must and with a multitude of products available to help you achieve exactly that - which do you choose?

Start at the base with an illuminating Primer, from New Look £7.99, to even the skin, minimise pores and give a healthy glow before applying a foundation. Don’t go crazy with the shade of foundation, if you choose a shade that is too dark for your skin tone it

will look terrible. Go only one shade darker and instead use a bronzer to give a dewy natural look. Liquid base is best, simply apply at the points of your face that would naturally catch the sun like cheekbones, bridge of the nose and forehead and blend well using a clean brush. Finish off with a highlighter to the top of the cheeks, brow bones and cupid’s bow to make it pop and nude lipstick.

FACTS AT A GLANCE

Price: £27,745

Engine: 2.0 L diesel Top Speed: 130 mph Combined fuel consumption: 54.3mpg

wheel. A surefootedness that allows you to delight in the tenacity of its attractive tango with a good ride quality and good handling.

You'll want to know about safety too. Here the Kuga scores top marks, with a five star NCAP rating.

ntrepid explorer Jacques le Tupple was once famously attacked by a mountain lion.

He survived, it is said, by twirling his moustache in a fit of Gallic sang froid. I mention this legendary encounter only to draw attention to how far, in leaps and bounds, Ford has come down the SUV trail - savaging as it were, lesser rivals who sadly lack Jacque's equanimity.

I

Fords rampant marvel is the phonetically spelled equivalent of the mountain lion - a Kuga that purrs like a pussycat and yet trounces other SUVs. It's a smooth number, combining feline grace with the generous load carrying capacity of twenty hippo jaws.

With safe practicality, economy and ubiquitous utility, the second generation facelift Kuga with its restyled lights and reshaped tailgate just has to be the sensible choice. The good motoring burghers of our Sceptred Isle tend to make a beeline for the best - and in its class the Kuga leaves an indelible impression of reliable class.

Whether travelling the Gobi desert or deserting our congested motorways for less crowded scenic roads, the Kuga packs plenty beneath its tough, sleek hide and

leaves one in no doubt that the job will be done in reassuring security and comfort.

Inside, quality is as good as in so called 'premium brands' and equipment levels are generous too. On this sporty looking £27,745 ST-Line variant you get everything from Fords famous 'Quickclear' windscreen to a power tailgate - and that's not to mention the heated front seats.

On the road it lives up to its name. It ought to be good because it shares the Focus platform in the subtle tenacity of its grip with the added benefit of Ford's own Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system. It doesn't leave paw marks behind but appreciative purrs are par for the course.

The 180ps 2.0 diesel engine mated to the six speed, dual clutch 'Powershift' automatic transmission, is a delight.

Smooth and quiet with plenty of power and torque and few noxious emissions to dirty the vicar's wifes washing line, it can take you to nearly 130mph and you still get a genuine average 45/46mpg (Ford claim 54.3mpg). The braked towing weight is 2.1 tonnes should you wish to drag your life behind you.

For such a commodious car it has a tight and compact feel behind the

I venture to say that the SUV is here to stay and unless your idea of comfortable voyaging is a seat on a balsa log in the Kon Tiki, you will need no convincing that the Kuga is the regal ruler of merry motoring.

At the wheel I felt like an explorer - firmly seated and yet surrounded by sufficient space for stout Cortez and his twenty men.

Here is a car designed for multipurpose use that never fails to delight. For extroverts it's a sporty option; for sensible sirs and senoritas who may be inclined towards introverted temperaments, the Kuga offers comfort on a featherbed scale. If the SUV concept represents the universal car, you don't need to be a university graduate to recognise the genuine article when you see it. The Kuga represents the culmination of clever thinking on the SUV scene. It's hard to believe they can go one step better- but knowing Ford, they will.
