Close to Wildlife! A visit to your local wildlife park just south of Burford, Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens is a trip to be enjoyed by all members of the family. It is one of Oxfordshire’s major attractions and one of the most beautiful wildlife parks in the country. There are over 250 species of animals, large and small ranging from the colony of leaf-cutting ants in the Invertebrate House to the three White Rhinos grazing in front of the Manor House. Great favourites with the visitors as they walk around the beautifully landscaped parkland, include meerkats, giraffes, lions, lemurs and penguins. Also a new giraffe walkway where you can get eye to eye with these amazing creatures. We spoke to Curator Jamie Craig who told us excitedly about forthcoming events at Cotswold. “Most visitors to the Park will know about the animals and the gardens, but maybe not so much about the interactive events we have on. Recently we had a scruffs dog show, where people could bring in their dogs and we gave out prizes. Weather permitting, we are going to have a Lemur week as they are very popular with visitors. “We also raise a lot of money for conservation as we feel it is now important rather than just show these animals we do need to give something back. I recently visited Madagascar to see lemurs in the wild. I was also able to see, first-hand, how the funds we raise are put to good use. Tents are being bought for researchers, plants are being replanted for forests and so much other good work. Lemurs are one of my favourite animals and they cope very well in captivity. “We also have the local Cotswold falconry centre each weekend throughout the summer, which is very educational and visitors can come along and see these magnificent creatures flying around with the Manor House in the background – it’s quite a sight! We are also, for the first time in a number of years, expecting baby penguins. They’re obviously massively popular with the keepers and with the visitors alike. They will hatch in June / July. “We also have Wolverines breeding at the moment. These are also very popular, especially since the X Men films which feature ’Wolverine’. People think they are terribly fierce and fearless but this is not the case. They are lovely creatures. I think this is the first time they have bred in Europe and they are certainly the only ones breeding in any zoo in Europe this year. “We have plenty of babies at the moment: Camels, Lemurs, Tamarinds and Monkeys, so it’s a lovely time to visit. The birds are nesting and the weather is getting warmer. There is a lot of optimism in the air and the animals detect the signals that it’s spring and summer’s coming.” Keep checking the website for more information about events and new arrivals. The Park is open daily from 10am, with special events during the summer months. See www.cotswoldwildlifepark.co.uk for full information or call 01993 823006. It is situated just 2.5 miles south of the famous Cotswold town of Burford. Burford Oxfordshire OX18 4JP Tel: 01993 823006

The Bare Facts.... about IPL hair removal Nowadays, men and women alike have an equal desire to look their best in their summer clothes, beach and sportswear, and this means maintaining smooth hairfree skin in those body areas that matter. However, this can be painful – both physically and financially! Julie Mutton, of Bare UK answers questions about IPL hair removal and its advantages over conventional treatments. Julie, who should consider IPL? Plucking, shaving, waxing and using depilatory creams are inconvenient and unsatisfactory options for many people. Not only can they be messy and time consuming, they can also be painful. IPL (Intense Pulse Light), a form of laser treatment, could offer you an effective, virtually pain-free alternative, with really great long term results. How does IPL work? IPL use a process called photothermolysis to convert light energy into heat energy; that transmits along an individual hair into the follicle. Follicles have cycles of growth and resting phases. The heat from the IPL affects those in the early growth phase, so hair cannot grow again. Repeat treatments ensure the follicles of all unwanted hairs are eventually destroyed. So how long does this process take? Further treatments are tied in with the growth cycles of the follicles, so are generally 4-6 weeks apart. At Bare, thanks to our very efficient system, typically only 6-12 of these are needed to ensure that most of the hair follicles in any given area are successfully targeted. This process is much quicker than electrolysis and fewer treatments mean a lower overall cost. How effective is it? This depends on your hair and skin type, and also the system used, since those available vary in both quality and effectiveness. At Bare we investigated several options before deciding to invest in leading edge hair removal technology in the form of a high-grade IPL system. This produces very effective results, dramatically reducing unwanted hair. What does it cost? IPL treatment requires specialist equipment and expertise, so it can be quite expensive initially. However, you’ll save time and money in the long run, since once the hair is gone, it’s gone for good - you could save a fortune on wax treatments! Plus, prices at Bare are extremely competitive, and our five-session package includes a free treatment. Julie Mutton is a fully trained practitioner of IPL and other aesthetic treatments. She offers a personal, discreet and caring service from her private treatment rooms in Boars Hill. To book an appointment or further information about IPL and any other treatments offered by Bare UK, contact Julie on 07773 764817 or email info@bareUK.co.uk www.bareUK.co.uk

The beautiful, ultra-cool Electric Hairdressing boutique celebrates its first year in Oxford… and what a busy 12 months it has been! Not only have they brought beautiful hairdressing to Oxford, they have embraced the city in a truly fantastic way. Throughout the year they have raised money for numerous charities, with specialist feature and pamper evenings designed to give everyone a networking event whilst making a difference. Along the way people get to know the Electric ethos of down-to-earth, yet impeccable, service and exemplary hairdressing. Two events that stand out have been: The pamper evening for Oxford University hospitals and their fundraiser for the new breast screening units. The great and the good of Oxford attended and we raised over £700 for the charity on the night. A night with a difference was also organised with Dave Beesley and the OPCSG charity. A male grooming experience was put on with haircuts by the leading hairdressers in Electric, there were also head and shoulder massages for the men from Canelle Beauté, personal training advice, canapés from Malmaison and entertainment from a fantastic roving Opera singer. The Oxford United football team also turned up and helped raise over £1800 for the charity. The Electric hairdressing salon and its team are more than just great hairdressers, they are most definitely part of our community. I asked the gurus of hairdressing what trends we should be following this summer: Top 5 colour trends: 1. Blondes move away from sun-kissed and warm honey shades to tones of soft and pale blonde. Think pearl, iridescent, light champagne and even whites and nudes. 2. Brunettes also move out of the warm and into shades of earthy mauves and shimmering golds. Working with a block of base colour, hand-painted panels of tones from complementary palettes are added to create a multi-dimensional look that shines to give the appearance of luxurious texture. 3. Pastels float straight from the catwalks and into the salons. We are already seeing slices of corals, pinks and blues into blondes with shades of teal in brunettes. 4. Full head colour might be reserved for the adventurous but scarlet, teal, coral, nude and pink requests are ever increasing. Taking inspiration from popular music, this is a fresh, vibrant and experimental trend. 5. Ombre is stronger and more popular than it has ever been as new techniques and colours develop. The key technique used, Balayage, is ever evolving and is becoming one of the most requested in the UK as people seek to take warm blonde into the palest nude whilst cooler brunettes seep into shimmering golds. A natural effect is created using nude and earthy tones delivered by L’Oreal Professional’s INOA colour range. The brightest and boldest are further experimenting with tips showcasing coral, pink and crimson hues. If you haven’t been, its time you made an appointment.

Restaurant Review

Without doubt the prettiest restaurant in Oxford, housed in an elegant Victorian conservatory on the Banbury Road in north Oxford. Drive past at night and its twinkling lights will seduce you and remind you that, whatever the occasion, Gee’s is not only pretty to look at, the food is pretty stunning too. Under the leadership of new Director of Food, Julian O’Neil, we knew the experience was going to be great before we took our seats in this contemporary restaurant ….we were wrong, it was exceptional. There are three vital ingredients that a restaurant has to at least try and combine to ensure their customer leaves satisfied. Obviously the food has to be good, there has to be just the right ambience, and, finally, the service needs to be spot on. Gee’s scores well above average on all counts, and although it’s not an inexpensive restaurant, it also ticks the fourth box which all of us are so conscious of….value for money. We were out with two very good friends of ours, although at Gee’s you are not alone as it effortlessly combines every dinner party you can conceivably imagine under one roof. Although the tables are in fairly close proximity to each other, this all adds to the intimacy of the ‘event’. It really is an experience to have your own space surrounded by families celebrating a grandfather’s birthday, couples on the nervous first steps of courtship, academics challenging one another (brains not fists I hasten to add) and quartets, like us, enjoying a night out without the children. I’d mentioned the service – it was excellent. The manager, Elisabete, greeted us talked through the menu and specials for the day and gave us her undivided attention despite the full restaurant behind her. This was a trait we noticed in all the staff, friendly, knowledgeable and giving of their time, without being intrusive. I had the chicken liver parfait to start whilst Tina plumped for the spiced stuffed pepper. Tina had seared scallops, Jerusalem artichoke, salsify & bacon – a fantastic combination – cooked to perfection I went for the slow cooked ‘Rofford Farm’ beef. Elisabete had explained that this was Aberdeen Angus beef from the owner’s Oxfordshire farm which also provides Gee’s with lamb and pork for the restaurant. We couldn’t fault the food, and Tina even had a little bit of room for the cheese selection, all English by the way, whilst I can always accommodate a decent apple & rhubarb crumble (with delicious custard!) We were joined by a trusted bottle of Rioja, Vina Zaco, Bodegas de Bilbainas (2008) following a chilled glass of champagne all round. We’ll be back for the Jazz - weekly Sunday Supper Jazz Nights with a great value Jazz Menu - plus newly introduced monthly jazz concerts - and I look forward to a leisurely summer’s Sunday lunch with the family – the perfect venue for a big family gathering. Gee’s is an occasion restaurant for sure – but use your imagination and you can celebrate pretty much anything these days, so no need for an excuse!
