Odyssey Greek Restaurant

Escape to this Greek gem for a truly traditional...

It was a particularly freezing Friday evening in February in Telford and all I could dream about was disappearing away on holiday somewhere with the sun shining. Stepping into the family run Odyssey Greek Restaurant in the centre of Telford we were greeted with a warm welcome from the staff, beautiful modern décor and the aroma of Greek food.

The ambient restaurant was bustling with other customers and in the background traditional Greek music transported us all away to a sunnier destination.

“

Experience

We opted for the Greek meze menu- although the menu is so extensive if you wanted to have just one dish from the grill, options are endless including a fine array of steaks, grilled dishes, seafood, stuffed vegetables and a good selection of vegetarian dishes! We couldn’t decide as everything sounded amazing so the meze menu was a perfect option; a true feast for the eyes and our stomachs in turn.

As the starters began to arrive we couldn’t decide which to try first as the plates kept arriving brimming with traditional Greek food including Freshly fried Calamari, a tasty selections of homemade dips, Greek olives, pitta bread, Greek salad, grilled haloumi, smoked pork loin, breaded crab croquettes, black eyed bean salad, tiger prawns and my personal favourite spiced pork sausage marinated in red wine and coriander. A selection to impress any customer which was accompanied by a beautiful Mateus wine.

The authentic food continued in the meze main course with stuffed vine leaves, beef marinated in red wine and spices, fillets of grilled chicken mixed with the families own special spices, marinated, grilled pork loin, slow cooked mouth-watering meat with peas (that falls apart in your mouth) along with YiaYia’s traditional rice and potatoes. We were in food heaven. So many different but delicious flavours made this menu more of an experience than a meal. The traditional, homemade food was a tonic for the soul after a

We opted for a selection of traditional Greek desserts that did not disappoint and with a complimentary shot of ouzo to finish off the dining experience we were well and truly in love with this restaurant.

The service was excellent and the friendly, attentive staff are a credit to Costas. The food is extremely reasonable and all freshly made by the family.

5 stars from us all and the other diners at the time were certainly in the same mind-set. The extensive meze meal is £17.95 per person and £22.95 on the party nights due to the added entertainment.

We plan to come back to experience the party night where they have live music and dancers on all night as you dine. Open 7 days a week from 5.30pm, we are already planning our next trip away to visit Odyssey - instead of the stress of packing our bags, to escape to this Greek gem in the heart of Telford, the only planning we need to do is to bring our empty bellys and book a table to avoid disappointment as this is really a fantastic night out not just a meal!

The Brewery Inn

A Traditional Family Pub in the heart of the Ironbridge Gorge with so much to offer...

The Brewery Inn is a traditional family pub that serves freshly cooked to order food. It has recently undergone a refurbishment since the sad passing of the previous landlord Roger Hotchkiss and the pub is now run by his daughter Fiona and the same staff team. The new bar area is always well stocked with an impressive drinks range and

the specials board is always full of new ideas, alongside the many choices on the extensive menu, including a wide range of vegetarian dishes, plus smaller options for children, OAPs or those wanting a smaller meal.

It is very much a family pub where children are always welcome, staff will warm baby milk/food upon request.

There are baby changing facilities and children’s toys to keep little ones amused. Plus children have their own menu with many choices. The pub often caters for family gatherings and parties offering a free function room. The room can accommodate groups of up to 100 people, and is used for baby showers, christenings, family meals, birthday parties, AGMs, club and group meetings and much more.

The pub has an enclosed patio terrace with undercover seating and a lovely view of the river Severn. Dogs are welcome out here and water is always provided. The large car park area has tie rings, a mounting block and fresh water for horses. River Severn day fishing tickets are available at the bar, with many enjoying a day on the river catching large barbell and chub followed by a refreshing pint afterwards.

Throughout the year the pub holds many community charity events such as clairvoyant evenings, family bingo, quizzes, raffles and much more. In the bar area there are large bookcases, selling books to raise money for the Severn Hospice. Good quality books and raffle prizes are always needed.

TCAT Computing

Education...

Computer training for a cutting-edge world ...

Communication is a vital skill – and knowing your way around computer hardware and software to get your message across has never been more crucial.

That’s why Telford College of Arts and Technology now offers a wide range of Computing courses, from A Level-equivalent diplomas right up to Degree-level programmes. TCAT’s Foundation Degree in Computing, for example, is equivalent to the first two years of an honours degree. It is a practical, work-related course for those who want to increase or broaden their computing knowledge, and improve employment prospects. The course, delivered by TCAT in partnership with the University of Wolverhampton, can either be taken on a full-time basis over two years, or part-time over a three-year period.

Course leader Thelma Smith says: “In year one, we look at the analysis and design of computer systems, an introduction to programming, and research into how IT impacts on organisations.

“We also look at hardware specifications, comparing operating systems, and give students an introduction to spreadsheet database design.

“And in year two, topics include strategic planning for staff and hardware in an IT environment, systems and methods used to manage large projects, planning network infrastructure, and designing and developing interactive websites.”

TCAT also offers an HND/HNC in Computing and Systems Development, including specialist units covering commercial network design and implementation. The course gives students chance to explore Cisco’s Network Associate qualification (CCNA) for Network students, while software developers will study multimedia, 3D modelling and games design – giving them a solid foundation in the technical skills needed for their careers.

The TCAT prospectus also includes a level two diploma in Computing, Web Design, and Games, giving students hands-in experience across a number of different applications. To qualify for a place on this course, students need four relevant GCSE passes including English or Maths, or a level one diploma including Functional Skills.

The TCAT Computing team says: “The IT industry is evolving and changing by the year as new technologies are discovered.

“We give our learners the chance to investigate the types of job roles available in the IT industry, and find out what the industry is looking for in a prospective employee.

“We prepare learners with computing skills which give them realistic career prospects.

“The internet is an essential part of everyday life - used for shopping, communication, leisure, gaming and finding information . . . to name just a few.

“But websites are mostly aimed at a specific target audience, and it is important to recognise the power of images, animation, video and sound.

“Although including multimedia in websites can be eye-catching, students must appreciate the need to balance this with accessibility and ease of use for a variety of users - considering restrictive factors such as the speed of the user’s internet connection or version of browser they are using.”

• For more information about TCAT’s range of Computing courses, contact the team on 01952 642237, or email studserv@tcat.ac.uk

Dublin Visit

Ha'penny bridge over Liffey river in Dublin

If you’re looking for a getaway this Easter look no further than Dublin.

Dublin is one of the most popular city breaks, packed with so much history and so many places to visit. It’s very simple to get too, with regular flights from Birmingham at some very reasonable prices, it is easy to jump on a plane or even on the ferry, and the travelling time is minimal. Once you arrive in Dublin you will be blown away by the magnificent architecture and the friendly locals.

You can choose to stick to the tourist areas or explore the city yourselves. The hop on and hop off buses are fantastic as you can pretty much get to all of the local attractions using it. A must for most people visiting Dublin is a tour of the Guinness storehouse, from learning the history of the company to pouring your very own pint of the famously smooth black stuff, well worth adding to your ‘must do’ list.

Things to do...

“Enjoy this healthy classic dish, which counts as 4 of 5-a-day!”

Mar Apr Recipes_Double Page Editorial 23/01/2017 13:41 Page 2

Classic Ratatouille Ingredients

2 Large Aubergine 4 Small Courgette 2 Red Or Yellow Pepper 4 Large Ripe Tomato 5 Tbsp Olive Oil Small Bunch Basil 1 Medium Onion, Peeled And Thinly Sliced 3 Garlic Clove, Peeled And Crushed 1 Tbsp Red Wine Vinegar 1 Tsp Sugar

Method

Step 1 - Cut the aubergines, peppers and tomatoes into bite sized chunks.

Step 2 -Heat a over medium heat and when hot, pour in 2 tbsp olive oil. Brown the aubergines for 5 mins on each side until the pieces are soft. Set them aside and fry the courgettes in another tbsp oil for 5 mins, until golden on both sides. Repeat with the peppers. Don’t overcook the vegetables at this stage, as they have some more cooking left in the next step.

SIMPLE CHOCOLATE

Mousse Ingredients

170g/6oz dark chocolate, roughly chopped 7 free-range egg whites ¼ tsp lemon juice 40g/1½oz caster sugar

Method

1. Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (do not allow the base of the bowl to touch the water).

2. Whisk the egg whites and lemon juice in a large, clean bowl until they form soft peaks.

3. Add the sugar and continue to whisk until firm peaks form when the whisk is removed. Do not over whisk.

4. Once the chocolate has melted, remove from the heat.

Whisk one-third of the egg whites into the hot chocolate quickly, until thick and well combined - if you add the egg whites in too slowly, you will end up with a lumpy mousse.

5. Fold the remaining egg whites into the chocolate mixture, using a spatula, until all of the egg white has been completely mixed into the chocolate. Don't overmix as you'll lose the air bubbles and the mousse will become too heavy.

6. Spoon the mousse mixture into four glasses and chill in the fridge for 2-3 hours, or until set.

Step 4 - Tear up the basil leaves and set aside. Cook the onion in the pan for 5 mins. Add the garlic and fry for a further min. Stir in the vinegar and sugar, then tip in the tomatoes and half the basil.

Return the vegetables to the pan with some salt and pepper and cook for 5 mins. Serve with basil.

Lemon Chicken

500g New Potato, Thinly Sliced 2 Tbsp Olive Oil 6-8 Chicken Thighs, Skin On 8 Shallots 100g Bacon - Chopped into small pieces 1 Lemon, Sliced Into Wedges 5 Sprigs of Oregano 300ml Chicken Stock

Step 1 - Heat the oven 220C/gas mark 7. Place the potato wedges into a large shallow roasting tin, drizzle with 1 tbsp of oil, season well and toss to coat. Roast for 20 mins until starting to crisp.

Step 2 - Season the chicken thighs and add to the roasting tin along with the shallots, bacon, lemon wedges and oregano.

Drizzle with the remaining oil, then return to the oven for 20 mins. Pour over the stock, and roast for a final 20 mins until the chicken is golden and cooked through.

Ed Sheeran Tour_Double Page Editorial 26/01/2017 14:41 Page 1

28 & 29 April 2017 BARCLAYCARD ARENA, BIRMINGHAM ED CONTINUES TO DOMINATE THE CHARTS WORLDWIDE WITH “SHAPE OF YOU” & “CASTLE ON THE HILL”

÷ (DIVIDE) OUT ON 3 MARCH 2017!

Set to be one of the most highly-anticipated tours of 2017, Ed Sheeran has announced an array of worldwide tour dates for the UK & Ireland, Europe, Mexico and Central & South America.

The tour will hit Birmingham’s Barclaycard Arena for two nights on 28 & 29 April.

The touring news comes straight off the back of a phenomenal few weeks for 25-year-old Ed Sheeran. Kicking-off music in 2017 and delivering the biggest musical comeback in recent years, Ed’s dual singles “Shape Of You” and “Castle On The Hill” have taken the globe by storm, hitting the #1 and #2 spots across the charts worldwide while seeing the Suffolk native break a magnitude of records along the way. Ed recently conquered more milestones in the USA after landing his first-ever #1 as a performer on the Billboard Hot 100 with "Shape Of You" - with "Castle On The Hill" sitting closely behind at #6 on the chart, Ed also became the first artist to debut in Billboard's 'Top 10' with two songs simultaneously. Not to mention the huge assortment of Spotify records broken by the troubadour this month, making history with their biggest-ever ‘one week’ and ‘one day’ streams for a track globally with “Shape Of You” (the records were previously held by Drake’s “One Dance” and Adele’s “Hello”, respectively).

Moreover, Ed topped the streaming service’s biggest-ever opening 24 hour streams with both singles, surpassing previous title holders, One Direction. Reaching 132 combined #1 iTunes positions around the world and accomplishing Apple Music’s biggest-ever ‘day’ and ‘one week’ streams, the two singles have accumulated over 370 MILLION worldwide streams to date.

Launched on Monday, Ed’s official video for “Castle On The Hill”, which was shot in his native Framlingham, Suffolk, has already reached over 10 million hits!

Not only has Ed also caught the headlines with his phenomenal solo concerts, he's also been involved in an array of spellbinding collaborative performances over his career to date, further proving his colossal status in the musical world- in 2012, Ed performed at the London Olympics' closing ceremony alongside members of Pink Floyd and Genesis for a very special version of "Wish You Were Here" and in 2015, Ed shared the stage with Beyonce and Gary Clark Jr. at that year's Grammy tribute for Stevie Wonder. Ed Sheeran’s genre-defying third studio album ÷ (divide) will be released on 3 March through Asylum/Atlantic Records.

Tickets for the Barclaycard Arena dates went on general sale 2nd February 2017 at www.theticketfactory.com or by calling 0844 33 88 222 *Calls cost 7p per minute plus your phone company's access charge.

‘Wonderland Live’ The UK’s Most Successful Live Act 2017 tour With Special Guests - All Saints Take That are set to bring their fans yet another unmissable live experience when they hit the road in 2017 with ‘Wonderland Live’. Gary, Mark and Howard announced 22 dates across the UK and Ireland, in support of their brand new album ‘Wonderland’, scheduled for release in March 2017. And for the first time ever, the band’s main stage will be in the centre of the arena floor, giving their fans a truly unique and memorable experience like never before.

Take That are renowned for their incredible live shows and for pushing the boundaries of live production, having created some of the most memorable stage shows in UK music history. They are the only band in the world to have had a huge mechanical elephant as part of the cast for their Circus Tour, not to mention a 70-foot man named Om who rose out of the stage on The Progress Tour. Walls of water, enormous holograms, circus performers, aerialists, a custom made flying machine and a huge ball of burning fire have all graced their stages and the Wonderland Live Tour will be no less spectacular.

Take That’s Wonderland Live is the first time that fans will see the band perform brand new material from their forthcoming studio album Wonderland, due out in March, as well as their much-loved classics, performed in the round.

Take That are one of the UK’s most successful acts with an enviable career spanning three decades. The band have sold over 7.6 million concert tickets in their lifetime, setting the record for the fastest selling tour of all time in UK history when 1.34 million tickets were snapped up for their Progress Live Tour in less than 24 hours.

In the UK alone, they have achieved seven UK Number One albums, 15 Number One singles, sold over 45 million records, won six Ivor Novellos, and eight BRIT Awards. Internationally, they have scored an incredible 54 No.1 hits and 35 No.1 albums. Their last album ‘III’, the first a newly created three-piece and went straight to No.1 upon it’s release in 2014, their seventh No.1 album, with the first single from the album ‘These Days’ also hitting the top spot.

Their brand new album Wonderland, is set for release in March 2017.

Toyota - C-HR Milla Jovovich_Double Page Editorial 06/02/2017 10:22 Page 1

THE LAUNCH OF THE NEW TOYOTA C-HR

MILLA JOVOVICH STARS IN ‘THE NIGHT THAT FLOWS’ - THE WORLD’S FIRST DRIVE THROUGH IMMERSIVE THEATRE EXPERIENCE UNIQUE PERFORMANCE STAGED TO CELEBRATE THE LAUNCH OF THE NEW TOYOTA C-HR

Actress and model Milla Jovovich starred alongside a cast of talented faces from across Europe, in the world’s first drive through immersive theatre experience.

The seven-scene interactive production - entitled ‘The Night That Flows’ - was staged within the immense space of The Printworks in London. The experience saw 100 guests immersed in the story of one amazing fictional night as it unfolded across five European cities, including Berlin, Milan, Paris, Barcelona and London.

The story, narrated throughout by Milla Jovovich, centred around guests finding their perfect flow and took inspiration from the ‘flowing’ design of the new Toyota C-HR - created to look like it is always moving, even when at a standstill.

Participants were thrust into the limelight as part of the event, taking centre-stage in the live multi-sensory performance and interacting with a variety of different characters as they made their way through the myriad of scenes.

Each scene brought with it unexpected twists and exciting scenarios, all inspired by key features of the car - from the dynamic drive and stylish diamond design, to the sophisticated interior and JBL concert hall sound system.

The journey began in Berlin, where guests were transported through the streets of the city in the C-HR using innovative projection footage captured at the Berlin International Festival of Light.

From Berlin, guests flowed seamlessly into Milan where they experienced their very own taste of a high fashion catwalk, complete with paparazzi. Following their catwalk moment, guests were led by Fabio Attanasio, Italian fashion designer and founder of ‘The Bespoke Dudes’, and Italian model Giorgia Palmas, into the backstage preparations of an Italian fashion show. Completely enclosed in a mirrored space, the C-HR became the star of the unique fashion show, revolving a full 360 degrees so that every angle of the car’s dynamic design and elegantly integrated detail was exposed.

Propelled into a Parisian casino, guests joined an excitable crowd gathered around a roulette table, as French croupier Etienne Pradier invited them to take part in a game of chance.

No sooner had they placed their bets on the roulette table, they were greeted by French rally driver Guerlain Chicherit, who led them in an exhilarating drive around a giant projected roulette table, showcasing the car’s driving dynamics, fluid motion and controlled responses.

Travelling through to the next city, Barcelona, guests were surrounded by a flash-mob style club scene, with Spanish DJ Cuartero leading the crowd as the soundtrack played out over the C-HR’s JBL sound system.

Toyota - C-HR Milla Jovovich_Double Page Editorial 06/02/2017 10:22 Page 2

The journey concluded with guests arriving in a London bar, where they were greeted by the innovative mixologist duo, Alex Kratena and Simone Caporale and joined by Milla herself.

The event was created by a team comprised of some of the world’s finest theatrical and technical design talent, all brought together under The Department's Creative Directors Jonny Grant and Hamish Jenkinson, with Jessica Rees Middleton as Executive Producer.

Speaking about the event, Milla Jovovich said: “I was thrilled to be asked to be a part of this event - I love that immersive theatre takes everyone on a completely unique journey and that no one experience is the same. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, so when Toyota approached me with the idea, I was intrigued and knew I had to be a part of it. The C-HR is a completely new concept for Toyota- rooted in style and quality.

It’s a beautiful looking car and incredibly stylish inside. The brand is always looking for ‘a better way’ to design or do things – and I’m a huge fan of that philosophy. Bringing everything to life was a creative challenge, but we found our flow eventually… and we hope everyone who came to the event left feeling inspired to find their perfect flow too”

Jan Verhaegen, Manager Brand and Marketing Communications at Toyota Europe said: “The C-HR is a completely new concept for the Toyota brand and totally different to anything we’ve ever created before. As such, we knew we had to launch it in a way that was innovative, unique and would bring to life the sense of ‘flow’ that the car

embodies. ‘The Night That Flows’ captured not only the dynamic and innovative character of the C-HR, but also showcased exactly why it is the ultimate car for people who want to flow through life.”

Dental Disease in Small Animals:

the wisdom of checking your pet’s mouth

Examining the mouth can tell us a lot about the general health of our pets. As vets we routinely look in and around the mouth every time we examine an animal. The lips, gums, teeth, tongue, and the hard palate can all be quietly brewing some serious problems which may well be related to dental disease. All of these are places that are easily checked in amenable pets, and owners can and should look at them regularly (except in rodents). The most important thing for any of us as pet owners is to be able to safely and gently look in our pet’s mouths whenever we’re handling them. So don’t leave it until you’re concerned about a problem; get into the habit of routinely checking for anything which looks abnormal. The sooner we know about a dental or oral problem, the better. Most of the conditions which affect the mouth are painful and will therefore need swift investigation and treatment.

Smelly breath is not just a sign of old age, and should not be considered normal. The bad breath is just a symptom of a disease process which will progress if it is not dealt with. It is often due to dental disease, but may be due to a tumour in the mouth, a piece of foreign material stuck in the mouth, or ulceration due to a more generalised disease.

Gingivitis (inflamed gums, possibly bleeding), calculus, tooth root abscesses and ultimately tooth loss are all painful conditions, but often do not cause an animal to stop eating. In many instances these are chronic conditions which progress gradually, and so often they are not perceived to be significant factors in our pet’s general health. However, they are genuinely debilitating conditions which we certainly wouldn’t ignore in our own mouths, and we ought to learn to appreciate their significance in our pets. Some factors, such as breed, jaw conformation, tooth trauma and viral/bacterial

infection can predispose our pets to rapid or severe dental disease.

Poor and/or inappropriate diet is a major cause of dental disease in pet rabbits and guinea pigs, who actually only require simple low energy, high fibre food i.e. grass/hay (not concentrated, manufactured pellets). They need to spend long periods of time chewing; otherwise their teeth become too long and irregular in shape. Sharp spurs on the molar teeth dig into the cheeks and tongue, and the abnormally long teeth prevent normal chewing action.

The best advice we can give you is to check your pet’s mouth regularly (i.e. at least weekly, if not daily); look at all the teeth, open the mouth wide and look under the tongue and along the hard palate. Look for swellings, bleeding, plaque, foreign bodies etc. If you see anything abnormal, or which concerns you, get it checked by your vet. Prompt action is always best.

Please be aware that insurance policies will rarely cover the cost of dental treatment, unless it is for an acute condition which could not have been prevented by good care and attention. It is our responsibility to make the effort to maintain good dental hygiene wherever possible, and therefore minimise the need for veterinary dental treatment. Appropriate food, chews, toothpaste and mouth washes should all be considered part of a good dental care regimen. The vast majority of veterinary dental treatment requires general anaesthesia and so pets usually stay at the vets for the day to receive the care and attention they deserve.
