Creation's Supernatural Official Convention NEC BIRMINGHAM 4 - 6 May 2018 Shazia's new show, a satire on Brexit, French beach wear and a bipolar White House, is about lies, lies and more lies, the truth is so 1980’s. "A show about lies and truth- or is that the same thing? Nudity and The Periodic Table, these things hold the key to the future. How much do you wear? What do you look like, and will they let you in? Oh, and don't you dare wear more than dental floss on a French beach".

Hadley Under 5's_Full Page Bleed New 23/04/2018 11:05 Page 1

Hadley Under and Over 5’s Nursery and Preschool The Next Chapter!!

Investigating colours, lots of which can be found at our neighbours, The Sikh Temple.

Hadley Under and Over 5's children are supported to be robust and independent learners who question the world around them, practitioners are well supported in their professional development to be sound role models, with safeguarding and effective teaching held in the highest regard.

As Hadley Under and Over 5's Nursery and Preschool approach their milestone 50th birthday, it must be noted that as well as reflecting on their past success, the team are ever forward thinking in their approach to quality childcare.

Attention is paid to providing a fully inclusive environment and experiences, recognising and respecting equality and diversity, promoting British Values and showing what this looks like in early years.

Active outdoor learning is promoted due to the richly diverse location of this unique Nursery and Preschool, with regular walks out in the local area to post letters, visit an array of shops and local places of worship, take a bus to Wellington as well as inviting visitors in to give talks and enjoying organised day trips to the farm and air museum at Cosford.

A visit to Rays Farm in Bridgnorth.

It is a shared ethos amongst the practitioners that along with the clean, bright learning environment that works so well within the cosy walls of an old Victorian school house, a collaborative approach is applied in their teaching methods. It has been recognised by all practitioners through robust self evaluation and ongoing reflections on practice that first and foremost children simply need to be happy in order to learn, to feel valued, listened to and safe.

The Swan Review_Double Page Editorial 20/04/2018 14:15 Page 1

e Review

e Swan Inn e Swan; a village pub just outside Bridgnorth, which occupies a prime position along the River Severn, offering some of the most stunning views, fine food and a delightful pub atmosphere. Charmingly laid out and tastefully lit and the countryside-themed pictures and accessories adorning the walls help to blend cosy and classy together effortlessly. Since taking over the pub in 2013, Justin Welch, Liam McCombe and the team are going from strength to strength and have continuously worked to improve in all areas; the food, drink and accommodation, giving the option of a tranquil overnight stay. As a small independent operator it seems that the personal approach has served both them and their customers very well. We ordered some drinks; a diet Pepsi and medium Pinot Grigio and took a seat in one of the comfy booths overlooking the river. ere is an extensive menu of beautiful dishes, sourced fresh and locally, and prepared in-house to top quality standards - we were spoilt for choice. Our starters, Grilled Cheese with caramelised onions herbs garlic, sundried tomatoes & dipping bread and Crispy Shredded Duck salad with sweet chilli & mango jam and poppadum crumb, were respectively oozing with flavour and daringly tasty – the combination worked very well together.

Simply put, if you have any interest at all in eating and drinking, and are anywhere near Bridgnorth, you owe it to yourself to give it a go.

10 Eating Out

Our mains of Hand Battered Cod fillet with mushy peas, homemade tartare sauce and hand cut chips and Roasted Chinese Five Spice Duck; breast with Pac choi hoi sin jus, wild mushrooms and duck fat roasted new potatoes – were both magically good. e batter is unquestionably the best we have sampled; light, crispy and free from grease – exceptional. My duck breast was impeccably cooked, the jus was rich in flavour and the wild mushrooms gave it an earthy goodness. As for dessert? e Chocolate Brownie with mint chocolate chip ice cream was excellent; served warm – Stef decided that it was the best to date, which is about as high as praise gets and the Lemon Posset with lemon curd, vanilla ice cream and shortbread was creamy and zesty, the shortbread bringing the whole thing together brilliantly.


The Swan Review_Double Page Editorial 20/04/2018 14:15 Page 2

e whole experience was great. Service was friendly giving you a home from home, relaxed experience and the food was spot-on. ere are lots of local beers, the wine list superb and very fairly-priced. Simply put, if you have any interest at all in eating and drinking, and are anywhere near Bridgnorth, you owe it to yourself to give it a go.

Shropshire SANDS Help and support after the loss of a baby during pregnancy or soon after birth... Do you have a few hours a month to help a local baby bereavement Group? Shropshire SANDS are looking for people to volunteer to join their committee... “I found myself on the phone to a woman whose baby, like mine, had died. ‘Tell me about your baby’, she said and I poured my heart out to a perfect stranger with whom I felt an instant connection.” Mum. Losing your much longed for baby during pregnancy or soon after birth is the most awful trauma any parent can experience. A whole future is taken away from that family. Sadly this happens only too often. Currently 15 babies a day die in the weeks before or just after birth. Sands aims to care for those families with practical and emotional support for as long as they need it. Members of Shropshire Sands (Stillbirth and neonatal death charity) support group are appealing to the local community to help them find new volunteers to join their committee. Committee roles include Chairperson, Treasurer, Secretary, Hospital Liaison and Fundraising Coordinator. Whilst many Sands volunteers have themselves experienced the death of the baby you do not have to have personal experience of baby loss in order to offer help to the committee. As long as you have an empathy and interest in Sands’ work we would urge you to get involved. Guidance, support and resources are provided to volunteers by UK-Sands and the local Network Coordinator. For further information on the roles or to find out more about the group contact Nathalya Kennedy, West Network Coordinator at Sands on 07833491603 or email: nathalya.kennedy@sands.org.uk

With around 40 stalls set up outside the parish church, this annual event is inspired by the ancient June fayres that were being held in Wellington as far back as the 13th century, and the town’s annual ‘Jubilee’ celebrations of the 1770s. (Pictures: from www.madeinwellington.co.uk).

Shifnal Carnival

50 Golden Years 50 Golden Years – 1968 - 2018 When Saturday 30th June arrives this year, Shifnal Carnival will have been running for an unhindered 50 glorious years and Mr Gerald Nickless, now President of the Committee, has been part of this wonderful Shifnal family day for 50 years. Gerald said “As a child I had always enjoyed the Carnival and Old Club Day Street Fair. Eventually the Carnival lapsed and we just had the fair until a group of members of St Andrew’s Youth Club decided to revive Shifnal Carnival in 1968”. Shifnal Carnival Committee has since been organised and run by volunteers for the residents of Shifnal and surrounding areas since then. e Floats and walkers, adorned with many a paper flower lovingly made, and fancy dress, have brightened the last Saturday in June on a route throughout the Town’s from Admirals Estate through to now, Aston Street Car Park. emes for fancy dress have included an Hawaiian eme and the floats have been anything from Apollo

Saturday 30th June 2018

11, to a great whale and a Trojan Horse that was higher than a double decker bus! is year’s theme, if anyone is searching for an idea for a float, is 1968 or Gold. e Shifnal Carnival Committee relies solely on volunteers to be committee members – led for many years in some instances, by enthusiastic, passionate and determined Chairmen. Volunteers are always welcome to join the Committee, or help marshal on the day. For further information on any aspect Carnival, please contact Sarah Richards, Carnival Chair since 2016, on 07504666205.

Park Street Clinic... Don’t dread the summer, dare to bare more with Lipocontrast.

What is Lipocontrast? Before

After

Lipocontrast is a new body contouring treatment, based on advanced cryothermal technology. Lipocontrast delivers rapid results by heating, cooling and reheating the fat cells, reducing body fat without damage or invasive methods. 33% of the treated fat tissue will be eliminated and gradually breaks down through the metabolic system. Approximately 80% of the final result is visible within 20 days. Typical daily activities can be resumed straight away following treatment, including returning to work and exercise regimes. Lipocontrast is one of only two devices in Europe to have undergone rigorous clinical trials with proven results. Park Street Clinic is one of the few clinics in the UK to offer the Lipocontrast treatment.

erapy Manager Jessica 22

Unlike many other body contouring treatments that offer long-term results, Lipocontrast results are permanent, meaning that a maintenance regime is not necessary. Once the fat is gone, it’s gone for good!

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

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 Page May June_Full Page Bleed New 10/04/2018 17:27 Page 1

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.

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.

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.

Are you suffering

Needlessly? Many people suffer needlessly with simple, often superficial foot complaints... I often mention to my patients, some of whom travel many miles to visit me, that a corn, hard skin or ingrowing toenail can be far more painful than any of the more "serious" complaints that I deal with each day. It is here that well skilled Professional Podiatry can assist as a routine and often regular treatment. As a HCPC registered podiatrist and holder of a BSc (Hons) Pod Med, all of your foot complaints can be easily and comfortably treated. I hold full licence to issue antibiotics for nail and foot infections, as well as a high degree of skill in using local anaesthetic and steroid injections, to numb and make your treatment painless if required. In reality, this is rarely required! All clinical equipment is Vacuum Autoclaved, after thorough Ultrasonic cleansing, to provide the best in patient protection. Using the latest spray drill technology, your treatment and hard skin, is reduced quickly and perfectly every time. A podiatry treatment is thorough and addresses all medical conditions of the foot and ankle, this is not a buffing or low grade treatment, as offered by beauticians and the poorly qualified practitioners that tend to operate outside of the regulated healthcare environment. Why use General Podiatry Treatments? Podiatry is very important, in the health of the population, as without your feet you can not walk! Staying active and mobile is important. Suffering and pain is often easily remedied.

Footcare from the professionals. Of course Rheumatoid arthritis, Diabetic foot treatments are all important. But even the healthiest sports person can be incapacitated by athletes foot that becomes infected with bacteria, the healthiest pensioner can end in hospital with infective arthritis to the knee or ankle, after a simple corn becomes infected. I have patients, that have lost a limb due to these complaints! Worryingly, they were fit and healthy in all other aspects. Whether you need callous reduced and dry heels cured, corns removed, verrucae treated or ingrown nails removed in Telford, Newport, or Shrewsbury Shropshire - Call for an appointment sooner rather than later. I offer fair fees and high quality, gentle treatment. If it is a foot, ankle or leg complaint then e Foot Doctor can help. To find out more visit www.eFootDoctor.co.uk or call Steven Dowdeswell on 01952 677063 and take the first step to solving your foot and heel pain.

UN-KISSED LOOK...

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. Model is wearing New look Contour & Highlight Blush Palette £7.99 & Ultimate Face Palette £12.99.

For full-coverage, long-lasting lip colour try this Matte Liquid Lipstick, which is enriched with Vitamin E and Avocado Oil, so it will keep your lips smooth and moisturised. It has a handy flexible applicator making it easy to apply with precision. New Look Metallic Matte Liquid LipStick in Colour 91 £5.99

FACTS AT A GLANCE

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.
