INDIAN SUMMERS

Summer may be on its way out, but there’s still time to enjoy the last of the warm weather and lighter evenings. If you want to keep your bronzed goddess look going for as long as possible, try Isle of Paradise’s Self-Tanning Drops (£19.95). Just add a few drops to your usual moisturiser, serum or body lotion for a natural looking tan that lasts. The drops are available in three different shades – light, medium and dark, and the more drops you add, the deeper the tan. The drops even include a colour-corrector to help even out skin tone and reduce redness. See www.isleofparadise.co.uk. Add some definition to that tan with a bronzer and highlighting powder. W7’s Life’s A Beach Highlighter Trio (£7.95) offers both, plus a light blush, in one handy compact. Find it at The Perfume Shop, TK Maxx and at www.w7cosmetics.co.uk. Hair feeling a bit dry and sun-damaged? Try Philip Kingsley’s Moisture Balancing Shampoo (£19) and Conditioner (£22). Designed to boost moisture without making hair greasy, the duo also adds shine and helps to detangle. They certainly help to control my frizzy mop, even on days when I don’t have time to blow-dry or straighten my hair (which is most days to be honest). They’re best for fine to medium textured hair. If you have coarse, curly or afro hair, try Philip Kingsley’s Re-Moisturizing Shampoo & Conditioner instead, from www. philipkingsley.co.uk. When it comes to budget beauty brands, it’s hard to beat Barry M. Every product I’ve tried so far could give the luxe brands a run for their money. The British brand also has great ethical standards, including being cruelty-free since their launch in 1982. At the moment, I particularly love the Feature Length Mascara (£4.99). It gives you long-lasting colour and longer-looking, defined lashes, with no clumping. I’m also a fan of the Sunset Daylight Curing Nail Paint and Topcoat (£4.99 each), for gel-look nails that stay chip-free for days on end. I get sent a lot of free beauty products to try, but Barry M is one of the brands I happily spend my own cash on. Barry M is available from Superdrug and online at www.barrym.com. Looking for a new body wash but not keen on the overlyfloral or fruity fragrances on the high street? Try Neal’s Yard’s Create Your Own Hair & Body Wash (£6.50). On its own, it’s very gentle, natural, suitable for sensitive skin and fragrancefree. If, like me, you prefer your products lightly fragranced, just add a few drops of essential oil* to the mix. Try: • Lavender, chamomile or bergamot to relax • Rose, neroli or geranium to lift your mood • Pink grapefruit or ylang ylang to give you a boost • Frankincense, sandalwood or lemongrass to destress See www.nealsyardremedies.com. (*Some essential oils are not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women.)

Advice on Your Next Steps

AT SHREWSBURY COLLEGES GROUP

If you have recently got your exam results and are looking for help with your next steps, or if you are an adult looking to find out more about a course at any level this September, you’ll find that Shrewsbury Colleges Group is the College of Choice. “Many students choose to come here after GCSEs, either to study Level 3 vocational courses, or A Levels, and go on to university,” said Catherine Armstrong, Group Vice Principal. “And many now stay on at Shrewsbury College after these exams to study an increasing variety of university-level courses ranging from a BA Honours Degree to Foundation Degrees, making the cost of studying cheaper. Apprenticeships and higher Apprenticeships are another option to consider,” she added.

Higher Education, as well as the support that may be available for transport and course costs.

“With fierce competition for jobs there’s never been a better time to have marketable skills. Apprentices can earn whilst they are learning and gain recognised qualifications as they work. Since completing their Apprenticeships, some of our students are now working all over the world.”

The dates are Montgomery Waters Meadow in Shrewsbury on 25 September from 3.30pm to 7.30pm. The Aico Centre of Excellence in Oswestry on 29 September from 10am to 1pm and the University Centre Telford on 13 October from 10am to 1pm. You can register for these events at www.scg.ac.uk/ events

The recent A Level results confirmed the college’s reputation for academic excellence. The national pass rate was 98%, with SCG gaining a 99% pass rate. A record 80 students achieved three grade As or better, with 15 students heading off to Oxford or Cambridge University and overall, 150 students are going to Russell Group Universities. A Level 3 vocational course is equivalent to three A Levels and 220 students completed them this year at Shrewsbury Colleges Group. Students got a 98% pass rate with 88% of them being high grades. Callum Welch, 18, from Weston said: “My first plan was to study A Levels, but unfortunately I didn’t get the grades at GCSE. However, the college will allow me to do my Maths GCSE alongside the Level 3 Extended Diploma in Business. It is great that they offer this opportunity and it means so many people can continue their education and training.” The College is holding a general Advice Event at London Road on Tuesday 4 September from 5pm-7pm. Staff will be on hand to offer advice on all courses, Apprenticeships and

In addition, the College is hosting three Progression Events in Shrewsbury, Telford and Oswestry for any pupils leaving Year 11 for Sixth Form or Further Education in September 2019.

These events are free to attend and bring together the main providers of post 16 education in the area. Each institution will have a stand with course information and staff available to speak to regarding your particular interests. In addition, there will be talks from the Principal of Shrewsbury Colleges Group explaining how the different qualifications work and get you into university/employment, and how to get ready to apply to college in the coming months. For full listings of upcoming events, you can visit www.scg. ac.uk or follow us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram at @ ShrewsColGroup.

Small Spaces

MAKING THE MOST OF KIDS’ BEDROOMS

Vox Nest Kids Cabin Bed, £695 from www.cuckooland.com

Kids’ bedrooms have to tick a lot of boxes. They need to provide plenty of storage space for toys, clothes, books and games, plus a bed and enough space to play. That can be challenging when a room is roughly the size of a broom cupboard, but it can be done… Beds with storage When you don’t have much floor space, the key is to make the most of the space you have vertically. Mid and high-sleepers and cabin beds are ideal for smaller bedrooms. Sleepers tend to be bed frames with taller legs. They often come with furniture that fits underneath, or you can add your own. Cabin beds typically have more built-in storage. This Vox Nest Kids Cabin Bed is fully customisable. The frame is £695 from www. cuckooland.com, which includes some shelves, and you can add organisers, pull-out drawers, a desk, pull-out wardrobe and more. Budget-friendly cabin beds can be picked up from www. mrsflatpack.co.uk and N&N Furniture Bargains on Facebook.

squeeze in a small cupboard or add some large storage bags or boxes. Don’t have space for a standard wardrobe? Built-in wardrobes can be expensive, but simple hanging rails can often be fitted into alcoves quite easily. They start from just a few pounds in Ikea. If you’re struggling to fit everything in, vacuum pack seasonal clothes to store in the loft until they’re needed. Try to utilise wasted space as much as possible. For a start, add a hanging organiser to the back of the bedroom door. While they’re often designed for shoes, they’re perfect for dolls, action figures and teddies, or socks, tights, pants and vests. You could also look at fitting a shelf above the door to store games that don’t get used very often. In a small room, every item of furniture really needs to pull its weight. Look for multi-purpose furniture, such as a chair that can pull out into a bed for sleepovers, or a toy chest with a pullout drawer (rather than a lift-up lid), so your child can use the top as a seat or for extra storage.

Lots of beds are available as a ‘shorty’. These are shorter than normal beds and will usually fit a child up until age ten or eleven.

Storage solutions Children’s clothes usually don’t need that much hanging space, so the bottom of wardrobes is often wasted or used as a dumping ground. If you’re buying new, look for a wardrobe that includes shelves or drawers. If you already have a wardrobe, see whether you can fit an extra rail,

Jumbo Storage Bag, £4.95 from www. rexlondon.com

Toy hammocks can be strung between corners to keep teddies within sight. Hanging mesh organisers can also be useful, but you need to be careful that air can circulate around the entire thing, otherwise walls and toys can get mouldy. They’re also not ideal for children who might try swinging on them, as you could end up with a ceiling that’s missing a large chunk of plaster!

Excellent A Level Results

AT THE ROYAL SCHOOL

A-Level students from The Royal School achieve their first choice universities by shining in the most rigorous, facilitating subjects, seen to be of greatest value to universities and major employers.

In addition to Victoria, our other top performing girls Melanie Mills (A*A*A), Goda Stitilyte (A*AA) and Emily Wall (AAA) have all received places at their first-choice universities. Melanie plans to study Law at Warwick University, Emily will be heading to Durham University to study History, while Goda is going through adjustment to study biology.

Twenty one percent of A Level grades attained are at A*/A with particularly excellent results in STEM subjects. One hundred percent of our students in Further Mathematics attained A*/A and 48% attained A*/A in mathematics, while 40% in physics attained A*/A and 53% at A*/B in chemistry. Pupils studying English literature performed well with 20% attaining A*/A grades and 56% attaining A*/B grades. As a non-selective school, we are very proud of our students and their results.

In these times of high competition for the best university places, it is pleasing to note the great success that The Royal students have in securing their first-choice places. Even more impressive, however, is the fact that that their achievements are in the most rigorous academic subjects that the universities demand.

Worth mentioning are some of our star students. Johann Siewers will be studying Chemistry at York as a result of his three A*s in physics, chemistry and mathematics, and an A in German. Amaan Yasin achieved two A*’s in biology and chemistry, A in maths and an A* in EPQ (the research based Extended Project Qualification) that universities highly value. He will be pursuing medicine at The University of Birmingham. Stanley Fullman attained two A*’s in further mathematics and mathematics, an A in chemistry and physics and an A in EPQ. Victoria Kuckina achieved a very impressive set of A Level results with an A* in mathematics, and three A’s in further mathematics, sociology and Russian while Jacob Watson also achieved three A’s and will be studying engineering at The University of Manchester.

“This is excellent news for the pupils, particularly at the highest end. We are extremely proud of our students, who have together with a talented and committed staff achieved excellent examination results and leave us as truly well-rounded individuals. At The Royal our focus continues to be on the development of the whole person as all pupils engage in a range of enrichment activities as part of life in the Sixth Form, take significant leadership roles and develop teamwork skills which will take them beyond outcomes in examinations into a productive and successful career in their chosen discipline.” said Principal Mark Heywood.

House prices on the rise!

A look at the Telford property scene with James Carlon

The latest Land Registry report into house prices makes for good reading if you own a property in Shropshire.

Certainly, from a local point of view, we are seeing strong demand for property of all types, so it is a great time to get on the market ahead of what is sure to be a busy autumn.

Our area experienced the greatest monthly price rise of anywhere in the country - up by 1.9% to an average value of just over ÂŁ196,000.

For more advice about buying and selling property in Telford, give me a call on 01952 292300.

We are also in the fastest growing region, with an annual economic growth rate of 5.7% - up from 5% in the previous month. The Land Registry House Price Index is a respected indication of how the property market is performing, because it is a true reflection of actual property transactions across the whole market in England and Wales.

How to choose the right tenant... Choosing the right tenant can be a headache for landlords - so how do you go about making sure the arrangement works out for the best? The key thing to think about is matching the right tenant to their ideal kind of property, and there are pros and cons to every type of tenant. Professional couples do tend to look after a property well, but can be difficult to keep as tenants because they will often see a rental property as a short-term commitment. Families with young children can be viewed by some landlords as risky tenants because of the potential for mess or damage, but this is offset by a more long-term

tenancy. And in actual fact, many of our landlords find that families view their rental property very much as their own home so will look after it as such.

Are you ready to downsize? Property tips from

Glyn McKenna of Nock Deighton in Ironbridge

Downsizing is a common reason for wanting to move, but it can be daunting to consider selling a house which has been your home for many years.

Take advantage of smart storage solutions which will help you and your belongings to fit in to your new abode and think about multi-use, multi-purpose furniture to lessen what you actually need in smaller surroundings.

There are any number of reasons why you need to downsize, the children may have grown up and flown the nest, the stairs are becoming an issue or maybe it’s just too far to walk to the shops nowadays.

things you will ever do, but you can make

It may be you are no longer fully capable of running a big house or it has just become too expensive to maintain. Whatever the reason you will need a big clearout and a plan. Decluttering is always useful when your house is on the market, and it’s even more important when downsizing. Plan ahead to lessen the stress. As soon as you have decided to move, set the decluttering process in action and that way you can do it a bit at a time. Will your current furniture fit into your new downsized surroundings? If it doesn’t you will need to think about replacing it for your new accommodation.

“Moving house is one of the most stressful things easier for yourself by ensuring that when it comes time to move you only have to pack up the items you need to take with you.” For more advice about buying and selling property in the Ironbridge area, give me a call on 01952 432533.

FINDING THE BEST PLACES TO EAT IN AND AROUND SHROPSHIRE

Hadley Park House Telford TF1 6JQ

T: 01952 677269

Hadley Park House is a luxury independent hotel and the 18th century grade II Georgian manor house retains many of its original features; it is surrounded by two acres of beautifully landscaped gardens. You can see why this has become one of the top venues for weddings in Shropshire. Hadley Park House not only boasts a fantastic venue and location but also an AA Rosette restaurant, which they have held consecutively for 13 years. The restaurant is called Dorrells and is situated in the large elegant conservatory. We were seated in the bar area while we perused the menus and when our starters were nearly ready we were shown through to the restaurant. We were offered a choice of white or brown freshly cooked bread rolls which were amazing, soft and warm plump rolls. For starters Nik chose the Scallops (£8.95) and I selected the Falafel (£5.50). Nik’s trio of Scallops were pan seared to a wonderful light golden brown and were beautifully succulent and sweet, the Cajun spice added a nice heat. The corn salad had thin slices of green chillies, sweet red pepper and sticky chunks of rich Chorizo. Often scallops can be served over cooked, but these were perfect and he said they were definitely the best he’d ever had. My dish had three deliciously soft Falafel balls which had a slight crispness to the outer shell - the red onion, cucumber and yoghurt mint sauce were the perfect accompaniment to this dish. For mains Nik ordered the Assiette of Lamb, Honey, Parsnip & Redcurrant (£17.95). I chose the Duck Breast, Sweet Potato, Goats Cheese and Pomegranate (16.50).

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT Nik’s assiette of lamb was served three ways which included a perfectly pink fillet that was cooked to perfection, a confit of lamb which was fantastically tender and a deep fried golden ball coated in breadcrumbs and filled with shredded lamb. All three variations worked perfectly with the rich redcurrant sauce, caramelised parsnips and silky smooth mash potato.

and white chocolate fondant – we would recommend ordering these, it was a lovely end to our meal. All dishes are created in-house and Head Chef Kev Fellows uses locally sourced ingredients from local suppliers and producers wherever possible to create distinctive, innovative dishes.

My duck breast was cooked exactly as I had requested and was exceptional – juicy on the inside with a lovely crisp skin, it was served with fontant sweet potato and purée of sweet potato. The pomegranates added a nice texture to the dish and the goats cheese sauce was amazing – overall a fantastic dish. For dessert Nik opted for the Caramelised White Chocolate (£5.95) and I decided on the Eton Mess (£5.95). My Eton Mess consisted of three individual meringue swirls with fresh strawberries, strawberries in syrup, cubes of strawberry jelly and dollops of fresh cream! This was the neatest Eton Mess I’ve seen and definitely one of the tastiest! Perfection! Nik’s said his white chocolate parfait was super smooth and luxurious, along with the juicy poached pear this was a great way to finish a fabulous meal……. or so we thought. We decided to try a Parma Violet Gin & Tonic from the huge selection of gins available at the well-stocked bar and as we sipped our drinks we were presented with a selection of after dinner petite fours, a trio of delights including cute slices of homemade chocolate brownies, cubes of nutty Pistachio fudge and a delicate rhubarb

The Falcon Hotel, Restaurant & Bar St Johns Street, Bridgnorth WV15 6AG

T: 01746 763134

The Falcon Hotel, Restaurant & Bar is a historic grade II listed building situated in the lovely picturesque market town of Bridgnorth. The Falcon has recently undergone a major refurb and has been transformed since we last visited a few years ago. Although it now looks very chic, with a great use of natural colours throughout the restaurant and bar, they have retained many of the great character features including beamed ceilings and panelled walls. It has a very light and airy feel and has been finished to a very high standard. The new coat of paint on the outside of the building certainly makes it stand out. The car park can be accessed from Severn Street or you can drive through the archway at the front of the hotel to the car park at the rear. We had visited on a Friday evening so had the choice of ordering from the main menu or the new Fish & Fizz menu. The fish menu had a choice of starters and main courses and the fizz menu had a range of cocktails and gins to choose from. While we browsed through the menus we both ordered a French 75 (£5.50) from the Fizz Menu - which is a glass of Prosecco with lemon and Gin - I think I have found my new favourite drink - it was amazing! For starters Nik chose from the fish menu and ordered the Crab Roulade with soused mackerel, Serrano ham, chilli, cucumber, spring onion and coriander (£7.50). I ordered off the main menu and opted for the Goats Cheese Mousse with pistachio crumb, goats cheese honeycomb, pickled fennel and beetroot crisp (6.95). Nik’s crab roulade was filled with a light and creamy mousse, perfect with the slight saltiness from the Serrano ham. A soused mackerel fillet with a hint of a pickle flavour, which was superb with the shards of spring onion and delicate balls of cucumber. My goats cheese mousse was deliciously creamy and soft with a tasty

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT pistachio crumb around the outside, the goats cheese honeycomb had a slight chewiness to it and the pickled fennel was lovely, the beetroot crisp I saved till last which was a great end to my starter.

Nik’s crumble was sweet but had a nice sour kick from the rhubarb, the fool was a lovely light mousse with a delicate hint of rhubarb flavour, the semifreddo was a firmer mousse with a sharper taste of rhubarb. Overall this dish offered a range of depth of rhubarb flavour but served in a variety of textures – amazing!

For mains, Nik stayed with the fish menu and had the Lobster Thermidor with triple cooked chips, onion rings, watercress and pea shoot salad (£24.95). I also chose from the fish menu and had the Curry Buttered Cod with Amritsar salmon fishcakes, kachumber, mustard pea purée and tandoori potatoes (£16.95).

My trifle was served in clear glass so that you could see all the layers with a light soft sponge at the bottom, strawberry gel, strawberry mousse and topped with cream and toasted almonds – a great finish to a fabulous meal.

My cod was coated in a delicious curry sauce; the tandoori potatoes were well seasoned with spices and full of flavour. The kachumber was a mix of tomatoes, peppers, spring onions, red onion and coriander which gave the dish a lovely freshness; the pea purée was creamy and soft. The fishcakes looked like small scotch eggs with a lovely crispy shell and were amazing. A very tasty dish, full of a great mix of flavours that all worked well together - I would definitely order this dish again and would highly recommend it! Nik said his lobster thermidor was a real treat, the meat was perfect, white, meaty and extremely tasty. Served with some splendid onion rings and some golden, uniformly cut chunky chips, perfect for mopping up the deliciously rich thermidor sauce. The salad added a nice freshness to the dish. For dessert Nik selected the Trio of Rhubarb - rhubarb crumble, rhubarb fool, rhubarb semifreddo (£6.95). I was tempted by a good old classic the Sherry Trifle (£5.95).

Sunday roasts are available between 12-6pm but the main menu is also available between 12-8pm on Sundays. A special 2 course lunch at £10 is available Monday to Friday. Afternoon Tea is popular at The Falcon and is available between 3-5pm Monday to Friday, please to call to book in advance. Afternoon Tea can also be arranged at weekends for special occasions. If you fancy making a night of it, you can book a room at the hotel from just £70 for a double – please check with the hotel for their latest offers as dining/room packages are often available. Not all the rooms have been refurbished yet, but they will all hopefully be completed by the end of the year. Bookings are now being taken for Christmas and New Year – see the website for full details. We were very impressed with our visit to The Falcon and the transformation of the building is amazing. The quality of the food was exceptional and overall it was a great evening – definitely a venue we will be returning to!

Recipe

SALTED CARAMEL, CHOCOLATE & CHILLI TARTLETS It may sound like an unusual combination but a hint of fiery chilli complements a rich chocolate dessert perfectly. Serve with a spoonful of thick cream or Greek yogurt for a really indulgent dessert. Makes 6 Ready in 1 hour

INGREDIENTS: • Flour, for dusting • 250g ready-made sweet shortcrust pastry • 260g jar salted caramel sauce • 25g unsalted butter • 100g dark chocolate, broken into pieces • 1 small red chilli, deseeded and chopped (see Tip) • Shredded fresh basil leaves, to decorate (optional) • Icing sugar, for dusting

1. Lightly dust a work surface with flour and roll out the pastry to about 3mm thickness. Use to line six 10cm tartlet tins. Prick the bases with a fork and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas mark 6. 2. Line each tartlet tin with a circle of baking paper and fill with baking beans. Bake blind in the preheated oven for 7-8 minutes. Remove the beans and paper and bake the tarts for a further 4-5 minutes until the pastry is crisp and pale golden. Leave to cool completely, then remove the pastry cases from the tins and place on a board. 3. Divide the salted caramel sauce between the cold tartlet pastry cases, smoothing the surfaces level with the back of a teaspoon. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. 4. Place the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water and leave until melted. Remove the bowl from the heat and stir the mixture until smooth. Cool for 20 minutes then spread over the salted caramel filling. Chill for 1 hour or until set. 5. To serve, sprinkle the chopped chilli pepper over the set chocolate topping and scatter over the shredded basil (if using). Dust with icing sugar.

TIP Blanch the chopped chilli pepper in boiling water for 1 minute, then refresh under cold water and pat dry with kitchen paper. This will remove a little of the fiery heat from the chilli. If you prefer, replace the fresh chopped chilli with a sprinkle of dried chilli flakes.

Bringing a Pet

Pets can bring a lot of fun, laughter and comfort to a child’s life. Elizabeth Kilbey, from Channel 4’s Secret Life of 4 Year Olds, says: “Research from BMC Psychiatry has revealed that interacting or simply being in the presence of animals has a soothing effect on children, reducing their heart rate and skin temperature. Spending time with furry friends, and stroking, cuddling and caring for them, can release comforting endorphins.” All animals need care and attention, but some require more than others. Birds, for instance, need to have their cages cleaned out once a week and their food and water changed daily. Dogs need at least one walk a day (often more) and most don’t like to be left alone for more than four hours at a time. The age of your children will play a big part in choosing the right pet for your family. A big, boisterous puppy could easily knock a toddler over, for example, and won’t take kindly to having its tail pulled, and some breeds of hamster are too small and fast for young children to handle. You’ll need to factor in the cost of food, any regular medications, pet insurance, potential vet’s bills and accessories such as cat litter and toys. Depending on your circumstances and the type of animal you choose, there may also be other costs involved, such as paid dog-walking services or cattery costs. Once you’ve decided what type of animal you want, you’ll need to find the pet that’s right for you. Rescue centres are a good first port of call, as they should be able to tell you what age

INTO YOUR FAMILY

group a pet can live with, whether it’s house-trained, how long it can be left alone for, and so on. If you’re planning to buy a puppy, it’s sensible to choose a breeder that’s registered with the Kennel Club, as they have to adhere to strict ethical and health criteria. Less reputable breeders don’t always provide the level of healthcare they should, which means you could end up with large vet’s bills in the future. If you’re not able to care for a pet full-time, you could look at ‘borrowing’ one for walks and play. It’s worth asking around to see if any of your neighbours need some extra help. Or check out The Cinnamon Trust (www.cinnamon.org.uk), which puts volunteer dog walkers in touch with pet owners who need support. There’s also Borrow My Doggy (www.borrowmydoggy. com), which connects dog walkers and pet sitters with pet owners. Lots of animal rescues also need people to foster pets long or short term.

Home Boarding • Dog Walking • Pet Sitting • Puppy Care

My Best Friend provides a caring, convenient and professional service to your best friend. We offer doggy day care, home boarding, pet sitting, puppy care and pet transportation services and take pride in treating your dog as if they were our own. My Best Friend, North Shropshire is owned and operated by Karen Horton and is based in Muxton, North of Telford. Growing up near Cannock Chase in Staffordshire, I always enjoyed long walks in the woods with my family and our dogs and over the years, I volunteered for pet sitting for friends, family and colleagues, looking after a variety of dogs from Shih Tzu’s to Dobermans, socialising energetic puppies to become confident and outgoing dogs. I have my own dog, Milo, a very friendly Lhasa Apso cross, and we are both looking forward to welcoming you and your own best friends soon, where you know that they will be entrusted to the care of someone who will treat them as part of the family in a home away from home. I am also looking for people to host dogs in their own home while their owners can’t. It might be for a day, a couple of nights or even a fortnight. If you love dogs and you’re at home for most of the day you could be just the person we’re looking for and would love to hear from you.

BETTER HEALTH? THERE’S AN APP FOR THAT!

There seems to be an app for everything these days, so it’s not surprising that there are plenty of apps to help you improve your fitness, health and wellbeing. Here are ten apps that could help you discover a healthier, happier you. Fitness Apps PAID Daily Workouts, Daily Workout Apps LLC A top seller on Amazon, this app offers 39 area-targeted 5-10-minute workouts, including stretch, Pilates and kettlebell exercises. They can be combined randomly or in custom mode to create longer sessions that exercise the whole body. There’s a timer and on-screen instructions, meaning you can use it offline, but you’ll need the internet to watch the video demonstrations. If you want to try before you buy, there’s a popular free version limited to just 10 workouts. Ratings: Google Play 4.6/5; iTunes 4.7/5; Amazon 4/5 FREE Fitbit, Fitbit Inc. Designed to work with Fitbit activity trackers and smart scales, this app can track your daily goals and food intake and assess your progress over time for steps, distance and calories burned. You can also compare stats with your Fitbit Friends - useful if you find a bit of competition a good motivator.

Chill Panda, NHS Suitable for children and (less serious) adults, this familyfriendly app allows you to develop an awareness of the relationship between your emotions, activities and body state. The app can measure your heart rate and help you learn what makes you feel better. The cute Chill Panda will suggest an activity suitable for your emotional and physical state. Ratings: Google Play: 2.8/5; Also available on iTunes

Diet and Nutrition PAID

Active 10, NHS Active 10 tracks your walking, prompting you when you need to increase your pace to a brisk walk (about 3 miles an hour). It also sets you goals, rewards your progress and allows you to share your progress on social media.

Carbs and Cals, Chello Publishing Ltd Ideal for diabetics but suitable for everyone, this app provides photos and nutritional values for over 3,500 food and drink items available in the UK, compiled by a diabetes dietary specialist. You can also add custom meals and use the meal calculator, calendar, recipe builder and exercise tracker. A special diabetes section allows you to record blood glucose levels and carbohydrate intake.

Ratings: Google Play: 3.1/5; iTunes 3.2/5

Ratings: Google Play: 3.6/5; iTunes 3.2/5; Amazon 4/5

Couch to 5K, NHS This app’s 9-week programme tracks your progress as it gradually builds you up to running 5 kilometres, using a mix of running and walking. It suggests a different schedule each week and celebrity trainers tell you when to run and when to walk. A countdown timer shows how long you’ve got left on each run.

Health and Wellbeing PAID Deep Sleep with Andrew Johnson, Hive Brain Software Another Amazon top seller, this app provides relaxing guided meditations intended to clear your mind, beat insomnia and help you to get deep, restful sleep. Ratings: Google Play: 4.5/5; iTunes 4.3; Amazon 4/5 FREE Headspace: Meditation and Mindfulness, Headspace Inc A Google Play top seller, this app teaches you how to meditate and live mindfully, with exercises on everything from managing anxiety and stress to breathing, sleep, happiness, calm and focus. It claims to train your mind in just a few minutes a day, using guided meditations and teaching classic meditation techniques. It can also send custom push notifications to remind you to add some mindfulness to your day. You can track your progress and share it with others. Ratings: Google Play: 4.6/5; iTunes 4.9/5; Amazon 4/5

Foodvisor, Foodvisor The Foodvisor app claims that if you take a photo of your plate, it can recognise your food, estimate your serving sizes and instantly provide a detailed nutrition report (and add the details to your food diary). It can also track your physical activities and calories burned, highlighting weak areas that need attention. Ratings: Google Play 2.7/5; iTunes 4.5/5 My Fitness Pal, My Fitness Pal Inc This hugely popular app is a calorie counter, diet tracker and exercise tracker all in one. It can scan the barcodes of over 4 million foods and recognises over 2 million others, giving you detailed nutrition information about them. It can also suggest exercises, link to some other exercise apps, log your exercise and track your steps. With goal-setting, a recipe importer, a restaurant meal logger and the ability to add photos and share your progress, it really is the app that has everything. Ratings: Google Play 4.6/5; iTunes 4.7/5; Amazon 3.7/5 Using an app to improve your health and fitness may seem counter-intuitive, with the media issuing dire warnings about the effects of too much screen time: prolonged sitting and diabetes, diminishing social interaction, eye strain... However, used correctly, technology can motivate and educate us to eat more healthily, exercise and socialise, sharing our efforts with others. So why not give one of these apps a try?

Another Daisy Local franchise managers, husband and wife team Steve and Barbara Davies have lived and worked in Telford for over 30 years and set up their companion driving service Driving Miss Daisy in January 2017. The service has proved invaluable to the local community and this year they have already added an additional car and driver to the team. Steve enthuses ‘After working for many years as a civil servant, I decided to leave those pressures behind and embrace a business that gives something back, by way of a mutual feelgood factor. I just knew that Driving Miss Daisy was exactly what my wife Barbara and I were looking for, as the brand embraces so many social issues, to include care in the community and companionship. Although the majority of our clients are elderly, we also transport children, people with limited mobility and passengers who simply cannot or don’t wish to drive anymore. We also frequently take pets to vets, quite often without the need for their owners to accompany us’.

ADDED TO THE CHAIN

drivers give clients back their independence in a reliable, safe and secure environment. The ethos behind the service is ‘We’re family when family can’t be there’ which is invaluable in the UK’s current overstretched climate. All the Daisy drivers are first-aid qualified, trained in moving and handling and are presently engaging in dementia awareness courses. Each Daisy car is adapted to accommodate wheelchairs and these specialist vehicles are adorned with the brand’s daisy symbol, with the drivers affectionately known as ‘Daisies’. With franchises ranging from the North of the UK, right down to the South coast, Driving Miss Daisy have gained numerous glowing testimonies to their trusted service. For more information about the Telford and Wrekin branch and what services they can provide, please call 07458 012648.

Driving Miss Daisy has been very well received by everyone that use the service and those that care for them and the main reasons for this is that their companion

IS YOUR PET IN PAIN? SEPTEMBER IS ANIMAL PAIN AWARENESS MONTH

It’s definitely worthwhile paying attention to changes in your pet’s behaviour, as it could indicate that they’re in pain. September is Animal Pain Awareness Month, so here we look at some of the signs you should look for. Altered sleeping patterns Some pets sleep more when they’re dealing with pain, whilst others are less able to sleep because of the discomfort. If your pet’s general sleeping pattern has altered noticeably, it’s worth looking a little closer at other behaviours, as it could be a sign of physical distress.

Changed social interactions

It’s more obvious when your pet withdraws from social interactions if they’re naturally gregarious, but even quieter animals may be noticeably withdrawn when they’re feeling pain. On the other hand, they could be more aggressive, or generally less tolerant of people and other animals around them.

Drop in appetite Humans tend to lose their appetite when in pain, and it’s the same with animals. If your pet is eating less and appears to be losing weight, speak to your vet as there might be a serious underlying cause.

Change in eye appearance When an animal is in pain, it often shows in their eyes, which can appear strained, potentially with larger dilated pupils. Dogs and cats also sometimes squint, and develop bloodshot eyes. It’s often an animal’s general behaviour that alerts you to their pain, but by keeping an eye out for these telltale signs, you’ll be able to react quickly and deal with the cause. www.skinnerspetfoods.co.uk/news/september-animal-painawareness-month-look-10-signs-mean-pooch-pain/ www.ivapm.org/common-signs-pain-dogs-cats/ By Ann Haldon

MEN, MENTAL HEALTH AND SUICIDE PREVENTION

Suicide is on the rise worldwide. According to the World Health Organization, it’s the second leading cause of death among 15-29-year-olds and nearly 800,000 people die due to suicide every year; that’s one suicide every 40 seconds. There are also around 20 times as many failed attempts. These worrying statistics make World Suicide Prevention Day on September 10th more important than ever – but there are steps we can take to tackle the problem.

Suicide Risk Factors Men are at significantly higher risk than women and suicide is the leading cause of death among men under 50. Statistics from The British Psychological Society show that men aged 20-29 and 40-49 are most at risk. The Movember Foundation, which works to raise awareness of men’s health issues, has concluded that men’s reluctance to openly discuss their health and feelings or take action when they’re unwell, coupled with the stigmas still surrounding mental health, are two of the chief reasons why men’s life expectancy remains significantly lower than women’s. The damaging stereotype of the physically and mentally ‘tough’ ‘real man’ is to blame for much of men’s reluctance to express their feelings and seek help, as they fear being labelled weak. The biggest risk factor for suicide is a previous suicide attempt, but what drives people to attempt it? The WHO points out that while there are clear links between suicide and mental disorders (including alcohol use disorders), many suicides happen impulsively in moments of crisis. A trauma, relationship break-up, financial problems or chronic pain and illness can cause high levels of stress that may suddenly overwhelm us and seem too much to cope with. Experiencing conflict, disaster, violence, abuse, or loss and a sense of isolation are also strongly associated with suicidal behaviour, and suicide rates are also high amongst groups who experience discrimination, such as refugees, migrants, indigenous peoples, prisoners and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people. So, what can we do to prevent suicide on a personal level and as a society?

Suicide Prevention •

We need to tackle discrimination and damaging stereotypes. The boy who is brought up to believe he mustn’t cry or admit he’s stressed; the girl who hides her true sexual orientation because she’s grown up hearing gay people ridiculed; the migrant shunned by work colleagues – they’re all at higher risk of isolation and depression, and so at higher risk of suicide. It can be tough to tackle this kind of discrimination among family, friends and colleagues, but it’s important we do so.

•We need to tackle the stigmas surrounding mental health. We can do this by challenging negative attitudes and ensuring that in our words and actions, we treat mental illness as just as valid and important as physical illness, acknowledging how closely they are related. Maggie Warrell, founder of Global Courage, recently wrote for Forbes about losing her brother to suicide and the role we must all play in tackling it. “If people felt as comfortable talking about their PTSD, bipolar or anxiety as they did talking about their eczema or tennis elbow, it would markedly reduce the suffering of those with mental illness and the ability of those around them to support them.” •We need to encourage people, especially men, to express their feelings, seek help with mental health issues and be more aware of the dangers of alcohol and its misuse. Depression and alcohol-related disorders need to be identified and treated as early as possible. “The tragedy of suicide is preventable,” states The British Psychological Society. “Early identification and effective action can get people the care they need.” •We need to pay closer attention to those around us. Many suicide victims were reportedly ‘fine’ just days or even hours before ending their lives, so we should look out for warning signs. If we fear someone we know may be contemplating suicide, we need to get help on their behalf – and take the horribly practical but essential measure of removing, as much as possible, any potential means for suicide, be that a stockpile of pills or a means to fatally injure themselves. If you are struggling with a crisis or a mental health issue, do get help. It may feel like your pain will never end, but things can get better, as bestselling author and depression sufferer Matt Haig reminds us in Reasons to Stay Alive. “Smaller than you. Always it is smaller than you, even when it feels vast. It operates within you; you do not operate within it. It may be a dark cloud passing across the sky, but… you are the sky. You were there before it. And the cloud can’t exist without the sky, but the sky can exist without the cloud.” Useful Info Samaritans: www.samaritans.org call 116 123, open 24/7 every day Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) – for men www. thecalmzone.net 0800 58 58 58 open 5pm - midnight every day Matt Haig, Reasons to Stay Alive, Canongate Books.

where the owners and trainers care about your results and whether you attend or not." His gym ethos is ‘Decide, Commit, Succeed’, which has been at the heart of all he has done since he began in the industry and this approach is something he tries to adopt to all aspects of life and something he also like to reinforce when coaching his own 1:1 PT clients and his gym members.

As many local residents will know there has always been a gym at the edge of Shuker Field, located down Broadway, in recent years it had fallen into disrepair and consequently closed its doors. The former Physical Sculpture gym hasn’t just had a name change, its undergone a drastic facelift both inside and out and has been transformed into Newport's premier training facility for both men and women. With completely bespoke modern equipment, coupled with a limited amount of available memberships, Maurice's aim is to create a community of like minded fitness enthusiasts. Maurice said, "As a former employee many years ago I had a vision to not only make it fit for purpose again, but I wanted to create somewhere unique for a new generation of gym goers who are wanting a high quality, non intimidating environment to train in, but more importantly have somewhere to train

FOR MEN AND WOMEN

Maurice is immensely proud of how the new facility looks and the early feedback from his existing members is more than positive. It really is a fabulous environment to work out in and he is keen for local people to come down and get involved and see it for themselves. Alpha Athletic Gym is now fully open for business and opened its doors on the 6th of May.

Anterior Knee Pain Anterior knee pain is a term used to describe pain at the front of the knee. It is an umbrella term and covers several conditions for example Chondromalacia patella (wear and tear or softening or the retro patella surface), Inflammation of the patella tendon/fat pad and surrounding structures often referred to as Jumpers Knee.

of tapping techniques. If there is significant pain again tapping can be useful as well as electrotherapy treatment and the possibility of acupuncture may be considered. It maybe that strength work on your foot posture will be required and even an orthotic to correct foot posture is often considered. In all, most anterior knee pains are very treatable and so if any of the above sounds familiar then here at SB Sports Injury & Physiotherapy Clinic Ltd we have the staff to assess and successfully treat the condition.

The cause of anterior knee pain can be multifactorial due to the wide and varied structures that could cause the pain and so it is relatively poorly defined. Often underlying factors such as overuse, Muscle imbalance, weakness and patella abnormalities or even varied foot postures can lead to symptoms. Patients can present with a variety of symptoms due to the varied source of the problem but characteristically patients with anterior knee pain often demonstrate functional pain problems on walking, squatting, descending stairs and sitting for prolonged periods with the kneeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bent. On occasions it can present as joint instability and with giving way of the knee. The assessment and diagnosis of anterior pain is tricky and so a detailed knowledge of the anatomy as well as experience in treating the condition is essential. Once a diagnosis has been determined the treatment again can be challenging often rest from activity is required while your physiotherapist goes on to advise on exercise therapy to correct any weakness/ muscle imbalances. Your physio may use techniques to help with patella alignment or position such as strength exercises

Well-organised storage is vital to a bathroom that’s both practical and beautiful. GET SAVVY WITH STORAGE

• Commission a joiner to make floor and wall cabinets that fit perfectly into your space – a great solution for storing toiletries, spare towels, cleaning products and so on, keeping surfaces completely clear. Add shelves in convenient places for objects you’re happy to display. • Alternatively, consider free-standing options such as cupboards, chests, towel ladders and wheeled racks. Slimline pieces are ideal for smaller rooms. All sorts of furnishings from other areas of the house can be made use of, provided they won’t suffer from a damp atmosphere. • A vanity unit below the washbasin is an excellent choice to hide belongings from view. Designs range from sleek and minimal to charmingly rustic; opt for a style that both suits your room and offers the largest amount of storage space.

• If you are redesigning the whole room, adding shallow false walls will allow you to conceal runs of pipes, but is also incredibly useful for building in shelves or slim cupboards. This is also possible when erecting a new shower wall, allowing you to create handy niches in which to store shampoos and soaps. • Finally, choose small storage items, from wicker baskets to crackle-glazed pots or bright plastic tubs, with care, so that they co-ordinate and create impact with colour, pattern and texture.

A Wardrobe Design For some, a wardrobe is simply a space in which to keep their clothes.

So, we can design your wardrobe interior to give you whatever you need - hanging rails, fitted drawers and shelves plus a top shelf for bulky items and boxes that you don't use often. And don't forget about all of those shoes which can be displayed on our clever & attractive space-saving shoe racks.

For others, the wardrobe can be anything you want it to be. Maybe the centrepiece of your bedroom where you open the doors and there is your television, your desk or dressing table. Whether you are after a traditional look or something more modern - Instyle Bedrooms have something for all tastes and decors. We have 18 years experience of installing our wardrobes in all shapes and sizes of bedrooms. The huge advantage of using our company (we are based between Wolverhampton & Bridgnorth) is that all of our wardrobes are designed and manufactured locally. That means that you get the personal touch. From day one you’ll be dealing with one of our friendly customer advisors who can visit you in your own home to answer your questions and give any advice you require - and all without any obligation at all ! Not only is that more convenient for you, it also means we can get a feel for your decor tastes, have a look at the space we’re working with, and of course make sure those measurements are spot on.

MADE JUST FOR YOU!

You can then either make a choice on the colour, material and design of your new made-to-measure wardrobe from the comfort of your own front room, or you can come along to our showroom to have a look at the full range on offer. Our wardrobes can be in plain colours or woodgrains or Hi Gloss or mirror or coloured glass - so much to choose from. Once you’ve made the decision, you can then sit back and relax knowing you’re in the safe hands of the Instyle team who deliver on time and above expectations. As your wardrobe is being made-to-measure we can use your space to full capacity. Whether you just want to hang your clothes or whether you want to make use of the numerous innovative options to maximise how much you can store behind those doors We guarantee to beat high street prices on a like for like quote - something we can say with certainty because manufacturing the wardrobes ourselves cuts out the middleman and allows us to offer our wardrobes at an extremely competitive price.

Gardening

WONDERFUL WINDOW BOXES household appliances – this lightweight recycled material is a good alternative to the grit or gravel.

As late summer fades imperceptibly into early autumn, it can be sad to see much-loved and once fantastic-looking beds, borders, pots and planters start to look a little worse for wear. It may be all part of the natural part of gardening, but it certainly makes me feel a bit gloomy. If it is having the same effect on you, why not treat yourself to some late summer and early autumn colour in a pot, planter or, better still, a window box? That protected spot close to the house should help to ensure that everything keeps on and on performing for as long as possible… There are many different sizes and styles to choose from, from woven willow to classic hardwood and urban chic aluminium, and in just about every conceivable colour too. But whatever you go for make sure it’ll fit easily on to the window sill and won’t be too heavy! Take time to choose one that will suit the style of your house, fit all the plants you’d like to include, not weigh too much and is within budget. There are lots of plants that’ll work – some of my favourites are hardy Gerberas (these do need a good warm, sunny spot), variegated ivies and the wacky, compact Crassula with fleshy foliage and stems studded with dusky pink flowers. But take time perusing the local garden centres or nurseries for the combination that makes YOUR heart sing. Some window boxes have impermeable liners, so if this is the case add an inch or so of horticultural grit or gravel to provide drainage – then if you do overwater (or it rains too much) the excess water will be less likely to sit around the roots and cause the plants to suffer or even die off completely. If you’re trying to keep weight to a minimum then use broken up polystyrene from bedding plants or the packaging around

A good quality multipurpose compost is perfect for a temporary planting like this, but if you intend to remove any shorter lived or nonhardy plants such as the gerberas and replace them with other hardy, seasonal stunners later in the year then you may be better off using a 50:50 mixture of a loam-based compost and a multi-purpose one. I find that this 50:50 mix allows for better stability from the weight and texture of the loam, combined with better aeration and drainage from the multi-purpose compost. Just fill the window box about half full with compost, gently firming it, but make sure you don’t compact it or else the plants won’t get their roots down so well. Next it’s the fun and inventive bit as you get the plants into position. If you are including trailing plants like variegated ivies, place them where you can enjoy their full glory by cascading them over the edges of the window box – this looks fantastic and adds to the apparent size of the display without adding significantly to the weight of the container. A larger plant like the Crassula gives a good focal point, and then why not add some dizzy colour like the ever-smiling gerberas to flank the central plant? Gently move the plants about until you’re happy with how they look, then fill in gaps between the root balls with more compost, firming gently with your fingers to ensure there’s no subsidence later on. Once you’re totally happy, water the box well using a watering can with the rose in place, so imitating rainfall. A stunning window box along these lines can be created in well under half an hour. Make sure it is secured properly on the window sill – and remember that you’ll need to be able to open the window (or access the box from outside) in order to keep it adequately watered during drier weather. As well as regular watering (often all the more necessary due to the ‘rain shadow’ effect from the roof or eaves), the window box will benefit from occasional feeding with high-potash feed and of course will need to be regularly dead-headed!

The Best Convertibles With summer in full swing, now might just be the time to nab yourself a drop-top car. Thankfully, you don’t need to spend a packet in order to get that wind-in-your-hair experience, so we’ve picked out some of the best convertibles for under £2,000. MG TF

This end of the market is rife with well-priced MG TF’s. Most come with a peppy 1.8-litre engine under the bonnet, and all have a folding cloth roof. It’s still a relatively handsome looking car even now and seems to have aged well. We’ve found a number for well under our £2,000 budget with one (albeit tired looking) example coming in at under £500. We wouldn’t advise going for something this low priced, though if its history checks out and the car looks straight enough, then there’s no reason why it couldn’t be a decent low-cost runner.

Citroen C3 Pluriel

The C3 Pluriel was somewhat of an oddball: designed to be five cars in one, it wasn’t hugely successful. However, this does mean that you can pick up some pretty tidy examples on the used market and, though they may not have a sports car design, you still get that drop-top experience at a very low price. Most cars get alloy wheels and air conditioning, but make sure that the folding roof is functioning correctly – this is a crucial area to check.

Mercedes SLK

We’ll admit that buying a used Mercedes (particularly in this price bracket) can be a little bit of a minefield thanks to higher repair costs and pricier parts, but choose carefully and you can find yourself a steal. The SLK is a case in point. You’ll likely be looking at an early 2000s model, but expect to get boat loads of equipment for the money, including electronically-adjustable seats and cruise control. However, decent servicing history is essential here – a poor maintenance record could prove costly in the future.

Toyota MR2

The little MR2 isn’t a bad idea at all if you’re after no-frills but involving motoring. Powered by a 1.8-litre engine it has enough performance to excite, and its compact size makes it feel perfectly nimble out on the road. There is a drawback, however. The MR2 lacks any real boot, so it’s not exactly the last word in practicality. That said, there are a variety of different examples available within this budget, and most are in reasonably good nick.

Mazda MX-5

It’s a bit of a no-brainer, this one. The MX-5, throughout its various incarnations, has proved to be a reliable, cheap-to-repair convertible. With fans all over the world, it’s a go-to choice for

FOR UNDER £2,000 those who want a relatively involving drive coupled with compact dimensions. Rust is an issue, particularly on early models – but find a clean example, and it’ll provide many miles of trouble-free motoring.

Mini Convertible

When the ‘new’ Mini first came out, it proved to be immensely popular – and things haven’t changed much since. When a convertible version was launched, it was snapped up by consumers as a result of its cutesy styling and reasonably powerful range of engines. These can now be picked up for well within our £2,000 budget. Make sure that the interior is straight, and listen out for strange noises from the power steering pump – these can often fail on older cars, and are costly to replace.

Saab 9-3

With Saab now a carmaker of the past, few consider its cars when looking at the used market. However, the 9-3 convertible is a great option for those wanting to go for a comfortable and spacious drop-top. In addition, there are plenty of spare parts and components available should you need replacements, despite Saab’s now defunct status.

Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet

Almost matching the Mini in the retro-styling department is this – the Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet. Most cars come comprehensively equipped, with air conditioning and alloy wheels just some of the extras you’ll find fitted to the Bug. The arrangement of the folding cloth hood drew some criticism – mainly for the way the fabric lies strangely at the rear of the car when collapsed – but this shouldn’t put you off, as the Beetle is a decent and reliable soft-top.

BMW 3 Series Convertible (E46)

There are a lot of examples of 3 Series convertibles to be found at this budget. The most common are E46 models, which are sturdy and excellent to drive. A variety of engines are available too, with even the top end straight-six models well in this price bracket. If you’re planning on purchasing one, double check the arches as these are prone to rust. In addition, turn the steering lock to lock while travelling at low speed and listen out for any troubling knocking noises.

Audi TT Roadster

There aren’t many about in this price range, but the Audi TT Roadster is a fine option. Strong build quality, reliable engines and quirky styling mean that this soft-top still looks and feels fresh today. At this price you’ll be looking at a high-mileage example, but providing it’s got a decent service history there’s no reason why these can’t be hassle-free convertibles.

Motoring A Ford Fiesta is perfect for bustling city traffic, while a BMW 5 Series is ideal for motorway mile-munching. But whack either of them into a challenging situation and they soon become unstuck – they simply aren’t rugged. These cars are, though. We’ve rounded up nine of the most hard-wearing and brawny cars you can buy today, ideal for surviving a nuclear war – or the muddy car boot sale in Sandford, Gloucestershire.

Jeep Wrangler The latest Jeep Wrangler is set to come to the UK after debuting in America. It’s more refined, luxurious and car-like than ever, but still retains the DNA of the original Willys Jeep – one of the most iconic offroaders of all time. Solid axles ensure simplicity and this enables Wranglers to be modified for just about any purpose. Whether you want to traverse sand dunes, go mud-plugging in a deep forest or simply park on the kerb without scraping your alloys, the Wrangler is about as tough as they come.

Mercedes-Benz G-Class Originally known as the G-Wagen, this military-spec beast has morphed into the ideal transport for those who want to be seen. With glitzy chrome atop the blocky body, and the option of insane AMG-tuned engines, it’s often seen in London’s most glamorous districts. But the G-Class isn’t just all show and no go. It’s one of the most serious off-roaders you can buy today, thanks to a supersophisticated 4WD system plus three locking differentials. Opt for chunky tyres rather than shiny alloys and the G-Class is near unstoppable.

Toyota Land Cruiser The Land Cruiser is a true legend – it’s the vehicle that pushed Land Rover out of Australia, and showed the world that not only could the Japanese build off-roaders, they could build off-roaders that never broke down. Though the Land Cruiser isn’t as luxurious as a Range Rover, treat it properly and it’ll probably outlast you. There’s no compromise to be made off-road either.

Isuzu D-Max AT35 Arctic Trucks Isuzu’s D-Max pickup is already a pretty rugged vehicle, with a beefy diesel engine and four-wheel drive. The specialists at Arctic Trucks, however, have turned it into something rather spectacular.

THE MOST RUGGED CARS YOU CAN BUY With enormous tyres and widened arches, the car’s stance is far more purposeful, and custom Fox suspension offers it enough travel to deal with terrain that would trouble a mountain goat.

Toyota Prius This may be an odd inclusion, as the Toyota Prius isn’t exactly known for its go-anywhere ability. In fact, it’s far more likely to be seen as a taxi on the streets of London rather than blasting through sand dunes. But it’s there where the ruggedness lies. Nobody expected the Prius to be as reliable as it is – but even daily abuse as Uber cabs can’t break them. Many of these cars have over 500,000 miles on the clock and are still going strong on their original battery packs.

Ariel Nomad Most off-roaders are designed to traverse rough terrain at about 5mph. The Ariel Nomad is designed to do it at 50. With an engine and body pinched from the Atom road car, the rear-wheel-drive Nomad bounces across the terrain rather than ploughing through it. It’s hardcore, totally open to the elements and buckets of fun.

Subaru Forester Subaru has a reputation for producing reliable, rugged cars, and the Forester is no exception. The darling of farmers everywhere, Subaru owners tend to keep their cars for longer than any other – because they can’t bear to part with them. The brand’s symmetrical all-wheel-drive system is legendary for its simplicity and reliability, while boxer engines lower the centre of gravity and make for a reassuring drive.

Toyota Hilux Our third Toyota on this list is perhaps the most legendary – the Hilux, notably the ‘unkillable car’. Made famous by BBC’s Top Gear, a Hilux survived being left at sea, falling off a building, being crashed into a tree and crushed with a wrecking ball – and still started up at the end. Today’s Hilux is rather plusher than the 1994 model that Top Gear used, but it still retains a well-earned reputation for serious reliability.

Lifetime ISA's Whilst many first-time buyers are now familiar with the Help-to-Buy ISA since its introduction, very few people are aware of the Lifetime ISA that may also be used for additional support when purchasing a property for the first time. The Lifetime ISA scheme was launched in 2017; however, very little attention was brought to it and even now, one year later, very few potential purchasers are aware of its existence and the benefits that it may provide. Trainee Solicitor, Mike Anson who is based at the Telford office of Terry Jones Solicitors, comments, “So how can the Lifetime ISA assist those looking to get their foot on the property ladder? The overall idea is that account-holders receive a 25% bonus for each tax year on everything that is paid in to the ISA. Naturally, with this level of return there is a limit to what can be deposited and the overall cap on this amount is £4,000.00 per year. This £4,000.00 can be invested steadily over the course of 12 months, or a lump-sum transfer can be made. With the potential to receive a £1,000.00 tax-free bonus for each year, saving for a first home with a Lifetime ISA can be extremely rewarding for those who are aware of the scheme. The government aims to ensure that this scheme remains open to as many people as possible; therefore, the criteria for opening and

(LISAs)

benefitting from a Lifetime ISA remains fairly non-restrictive. To open a Lifetime ISA account one must be between the ages of 18 and 40 and, to benefit as a first-time buyer, must have never owned a property anywhere in the world. This does include property outside of the UK and will also catch out individuals who acquired a share in a property via an inheritance, even if this property was immediately sold and residency was never taken up. Also, as the scheme is to help struggling first-time buyers, the maximum purchase price of the property for the bonus to remain valid is £450,000.00 and the property cannot be a Buy-to-Let investment. If you have paid in to the Lifetime ISA and the property that you are purchasing does not qualify, then withdrawal of your funds from the scheme will carry a 25% withdrawal penalty. As an added criteria, the Lifetime ISA must have been open for at least one year prior to withdrawal of funds from the account.

Mike Anson

It isn’t all bad news if you do have a Lifetime ISA but cannot use this towards your first property purchase, as the benefit of the Lifetime ISA is that it can also be used to save for retirement. At Terry Jones Solicitors we have assisted numerous purchasers who have used both the Help-to-Buy ISA and the Lifetime ISA scheme and will gladly assist with any queries that readers may have with reference to the same.” Terry Jones Solicitors have offices in Shrewsbury, Telford, Newport and Bridgnorth.

HOW TO SAVE AND MAKE MONEY AT UNIVERSITY Save by standing order Once you’re used to budgeting, and know how much you’re likely to spend each month, it’s worthwhile transferring a minimum amount to a savings account via monthly standing order. Even small amounts add up over the course of a year, and you can always save more money if you have any spare.

Ways to make money at university Get a part-time job The obvious way to make money at university for most students is to get a job part-time. Retail, catering, and hospitality are just three areas where you could pick up a part-time job with fixed hours that fits in with your studies. Although you may need to forsake some evenings and weekends, payday could make it worthwhile to miss out on a few social occasions.

One of the trickiest but most important parts of university life is managing your money. Budgeting for food, clothes, nights out, books and study materials can be overwhelming at first, but there are ways you can help yourself. Here are a few tips to help you spend less, save more, and earn money at university, so you can stop worrying about finances and make the most of this precious time in your life.

Ways to save money at university Make use of technology All you need is your mobile phone to save money as a university student. There are apps to help you save on food, that show you how to budget, and that keep an eye on your data usage. Keep your food costs down by making a list of your favourite ingredients, and an app will let you know the cheapest places to buy them locally. You can also track your expenses with a budgeting app. Just type in how much you spend each day, and what you’ve bought – at the end of the month, a report gives you a roundup of where your money is going, so you can adjust your spending if necessary.

Learn how to cook Learning how to cook from scratch is a valuable skill for life, but as food is one of the highest student expenditures, it’s also a vital part of saving money. Apart from the extra cash in your pocket, you can still be sociable without the expense of eating out, impressing your friends with a few gastronomic delights. It’s a good idea to plan your meals ahead and only buy what you need each week, avoiding ready meals if possible, as although they’re convenient, they’re generally bad for your health. Also, stick to buying own-brand products that can usually be found on the lower shelves in supermarkets, where you might not normally look.

Vouchers and coupons It’s surprising how much you can save by using vouchers and coupons, but you do need to be organised and be ready to snap them up online. You may be able to save even more as a university student, as stores often offer additional student discounts on certain items.

Another idea for part-time work, and one that’s a little more flexible, is mystery shopping. You sign up with a mystery shopping agency, or directly with an independent company, and get paid for checking the level of service provided in their outlets. You’ll need to ask certain questions in-store, and then write up and submit a report online within a certain deadline. You may also be asked to mystery shop by phone or email.

Online work With so many online moneymaking and work opportunities available, you can earn more than just ‘pocket money.’ Taking surveys is a great way to do this, with Swagbucks, Toluna and YouGov being just a few sites offering money and vouchers for taking part in surveys and questionnaires. You can also sell clothes and unwanted belongings online to make some cash – Shpock and eBay are popular for this, and you also get to declutter your student accommodation.

Starting a small business The upsurge of the gig economy means you can put your talents to good use by freelancing, or starting your own small business. If you’re good at web design, writing, or even tutoring other students, there are plenty of opportunities to advertise your skills online or within the university campus. Freelance marketplaces such as People Per Hour and Upwork match freelancers with people or businesses looking for someone to complete a project. By signing up, you can search for jobs in your skill set, and build up a portfolio of work over your time at university.

Promotion work and flyers

Handing out flyers around campus and promoting club nights or events on the streets of your university town can earn you some extra money, but be sure to find out whether you’re working on a commission or a ‘per hour’ basis. If you’re sociable and good at marketing, you could even apply to become an on-campus ‘brand ambassador’ for a household brand name. You might be able to organise your own promotions and events for the brand, and make a name for yourself in marketing.

Employment Law & Human Resources

IT COULD BE A SCAM

Telford & Wrekin Council has received more reports of door to door sellers claiming to be ex-offenders.

Coaching & Mentoring

They claim they are trying to mend their ways as they sell household goods, but they are not part of any recognised rehabilitation scheme. Cllr Richard Overton, Telford & Wrekin Council’s Cabinet Member for Enforcement, said: “While door-to-door cold calling isn’t illegal, anyone doing it legitimately would have been given a ‘pedlar’s certificate’ from the Police.

Training & Development

Professional, friendly and down-to-earth team

“Please warn your neighbours, particularly elderly or vulnerable neighbours, not to open the door to strangers who buy or sell on the doorstep. Some doorstep callers may offer poor quality goods at inflated prices and if a caller is not genuine, they may be gathering information for future crime. “If you have any concerns about cold callers, report them to Citizens Advice Consumer Service on 03454 04 05 06 or Police on 101. “Please keep in mind that if cold callers don’t get any sales in your area, they are less likely to return.” Telford & Wrekin Council is offering free “No Cold Calling” stickers from Southwater One, Darby House, Citizens Advice Wellington, Brookside, Woodside & Sutton Hill Community Centres and Newport Library.

Drowning in Documents?

IT’S TIME TO FREE UP YOUR FILES

Overstuffed filing drawers, bulging boxes of payslips, tax records, bank statements and invoices that go back years. Sounds familiar? We’re all guilty of hoarding personal documents, many of them kept just in case we need to refer to them again in future. However, in many cases the paperwork we hold is probably so outdated that it’s not worth keeping. It’s hard to know exactly how long we’re supposed to keep our documents, and – when they are out of date – how to dispose of them safely. Here are some essential tips for handling and processing your personal documentation.

Which documents should I keep, and for how long? The tips below are based on guidance provided by trusted organisations such as the Citizen’s Advice Bureau and HMRC, but there are no hard and fast rules. For instance, if you are self-employed and claiming expenses, you might need to keep some of your documents for a longer period. Bank, credit card and loan statements: according to moneysaving guru Martin Lewis, these should be retained for at least six years. However, he recommends keeping them as long as possible just in case there’s another mis-selling scandal, like the recent PPI affair. Utility bills: it’s probably worth holding on to these for 12 months, as this allows you to keep track of what you actually use. Receipts and warranties: you should keep hold of important receipts for six years, but warranties can be disposed of after the date they expire. Insurance documents: don’t throw old policy documents away if there’s a chance someone may make a retrospective claim against you. Alternatively, if your policy insured you against injury at work, you may be able to claim after the policy has elapsed, provided you can prove your medical issue relates to the time in question. P45s and payslips: HMRC recommends that individuals keep tax-related paperwork such as payslips and P45s for at least twenty-two months from the end of the relevant tax year. Medical records: any documents you hold relating to your medical history should be kept indefinitely. Your GP will also hold this information but there may be times (for example, if you’re applying for travel insurance) when you’ll need dates and details of medical treatments. Personal documents: these include birth and marriage certificates, National Insurance certificates, court orders and decrees, deeds, copies of wills, share certificates, motor vehicle documents and mortgage papers. Such documents should be stored securely and kept forever.

Don’t throw your identity out with the rubbish Earlier this year a concerned neighbour on the Doddington Estate in Wandsworth, London, stopped to film three people rifling through a refuse bin that contained letters and other paperwork. She reported this activity anonymously to the Daily

Mail, warning: “I’ve seen people of all kinds going through the bins before, so I’ve become more and more concerned about this... I want my friends and neighbours to be aware that this goes on and take the time to destroy any personal information from the letters they are throwing away.” Many criminals are prepared to scavenge through bins and even landfill sites to obtain personal data. Identity theft and incidents involving stolen bank details have become big business for fraudsters, and just one document with one person’s financial information can earn them thousands of pounds. So what’s the best way to dispose of financial documents such as bank statements? Shredding: if you tear up a document by hand, the chances are that a criminal could still put it together like a jigsaw. Shredding is a much safer option and you can buy a cheap, hand-operated shredder from around £10.99 upwards. The safest types of shredder are the ‘cross-cut’ or ‘micro-cut’ varieties, which cut in two directions rather than one, but they are more expensive. If you have literally hundreds of documents to destroy, you could consider using a commercial shredding service, but be aware that most charge a minimum fee of around £80. Burning: incinerating your documents is a simple solution, but do bear in mind any local authority restrictions if you are planning to light a bonfire. Consider the fire risk and make sure your smoke doesn’t cause nuisance to neighbours. Soaking: you can destroy paper by mulching it in a bucket of water. When it dissolves it should be easy to tear it up, but make sure it’s reduced to an unreadable pulp before throwing it away. It’s ironic that in this digital age, when the ‘paperfree office’ should be a reality, we’re actually using more paper than ever, so by recycling your paper waste you are ultimately helping the environment. Tackling those piles of outdated paperwork will also create more space in your home, as well as ticking off another task on your ‘to do’ list. So what are you waiting for? Don’t delay, start sorting!

Go all white everywhere, or else think pale paintwork with accents of grey, beige and – of course – blue. Add some touches of natural wood for a lovely contrast.

Florence large sofa in heron stripe charcoal, from £1,599, Sofa Workshop: 0808 115 0514; sofaworkshop.com.

• Bring the outside in by including gorgeous natural elements. Driftwood is perfect, as are shells and coral (ethical, of course). Add some rope, wicker and maybe seagrass, coir or jute for a lovely contrast of textures. • It’s all about the light. Coastal homes are airy and breezy, so maximise light at the windows by hanging filmy curtains or white-painted wooden blinds, and arrange artificial lighting so that a central pendant is supplemented by a versatile selection of wall, table and floor lamps. • Choose fabrics for their crisp or floaty feel. Simplicity is key, so opt for linen, muslin and ticking, either plain or with a stripe. Bold stripes are more nautical, while barely-there stripes are more utilitarian – either way, the look is completely charming.

New Tech Term From clothes to computers, the cost of sending your offspring to school, college or university seems to increase every day. So how can you be sure you’re not spending more on technology than you need to?

GET YOUR CHILD’S NEXT COMPUTER FOR LESS

The trick is to get the maximum bang for every buck – and sometimes that means avoiding false economies. A cheap laptop may save you a few pounds now, but it might not be able to cope with everything your child needs it to do; for example, a Chromebook laptop may be ultra-cheap but if your child’s going to be using it instead of a TV its small screen isn’t going to be a lot of fun. The sweet spot for budget laptops is around the £300 mark, and if you go much below that you’ll be cutting corners. It’s often a better idea to shop around for a second hand laptop on Gumtree or eBay (if you’re careful: stick to reputable sellers and make sure you follow the buyer protection policy so you’re protected against any shenanigans) – a powerful laptop that’s been well looked after for a year or two may be a better buy than a brand new, super-cheap laptop. That’s particularly true of Apple laptops. The cheapest Apple laptop, the MacBook Air, is currently £949 and isn’t particularly powerful. If you’re considering any Apple device, the first thing to do is to investigate whether your child qualifies for an education discount (www.apple.com/ uk-edu/shop/go/education). If you or your child qualify, the discounts can be significant.

Another option is to consider a refurbished Mac. Refurbished computers are computers that have been sold and then returned. Sometimes that’s because of a fault that has since been corrected or because a customer simply changed their mind; sometimes it’s because the laptop was leased to a company and returned after the lease period is up. Whatever the reason, it can’t be sold as new. That can mean good discounts even on fairly new computers. It’s important to understand the key differences between new and refurbished computers. They ship without faults but may have damaged or missing packaging, and they may have light cosmetic damage on their case. The warranty is much shorter, and any AppleCare insurance you take out will run out on the anniversary of the date the Mac was first sold, not the date you acquired it – so for example you won’t be able to buy AppleCare for a refurbished Mac that’s three years old. As you’d expect, the older the Mac the bigger the discount – and if you’re a confident eBay buyer you can save even more. For example, at the time of writing a reputable eBay seller is offering a refurbished late 2014 MacBook Pro with 13” Retina display for £650. That’s a lot of money, of course. But the current 13” MacBook Pro starts at £1,249 and the refurbished one is good for several years yet.

WONDER WALLS

A change of wallcovering can transform cold into cosy, boring into beautiful and out of date into ultra-cool. Our lowdown is sure to give you some exciting ideas. A plain white wall. Boring? Perhaps. But it could be just the thing to show off a colourful collection or provide a counterpoint to brightly patterned upholstery. On the other hand, vibrant wallpaper could be the perfect way to inject colour and create interest in a room. Choosing the best wall finish for your space is all about context – and is just as important in terms of decorative effect as selecting colours, fabrics and furnishings.

You could even hang your wallpaper different to shiny, glossy ones. horizontally, or mix up the designs to create a hand-crafted, The most obvious alternative to painted walls is wallpaper. bohemian effect. Choices include not only conventional machine-printed Tiles come in as great a variety of colours and patterns as designs but also natural woven fibres, light-reflecting metallic wallpaper – they can be sleek and machine-made or rustic and papers and waterproof vinyls. If you are seeking something hand-made, shiny and glazed or matt and unglazed, perfectly a little different, there are hand-finished papers that feature smooth or nicely textured, or even digitally printed with your cut-work, stitching or appliqué, interactive papers that you can own designs. Long-lasting and hard-wearing, waterproof and colour in or add stickers to, hand-blocked papers (pricey but easy to clean, tiles are ideal as wall finishes for bathrooms, gorgeous), three-dimensional designs incorporating crystals, showers and behind kitchen worktops, but they are also great beading, sequins or tiny LED lights, digitally printed papers for hallways, conservatories, laundry rooms and utility rooms made to your own design and even magnetic wallpapers that and, given their immense decorative potential, can sometimes work as a noticeboard. Convention has it that you hang the work as part of a living area, too.

IDEAS FOR FEATURE WALLS • Transform your wall with peel-off stickers. They come in all sorts of divine designs from simple shapes to complex illustrations. • Wallpaper with an oversized pattern and vivid colours may well be too much for a whole room, but makes a great focal point on just one wall. • Think paint effects are passé? Not when you try modern, graphic ideas such as bold horizontal stripes or an ombré/dip dye look. • Large maps (old or new) are attractive and educational. Simply paste straight on to the wall. Try sheet music and wrapping paper, too. • Take any digital image and have it enlarged to cover an entire wall. Eye-poppingly gorgeous. • Use a variety of vintage wallpaper samples as a colourful collage. Combine with paint, too, if you wish.

Finally, while paint and wallpaper are by far the most common ways to cover a wall, with a little imagination and ingenuity you will find that almost any flat surface can be employed to create an interesting decorative effect. Timber panelling can hide wonky walls and is a great insulator. It also has a lovely warmth and character. Fielded panelling gives a classic feel, while tongue and groove is cosy and country. A wall (or a portion of it) covered with a sheet of mirror will reflect light around and instantly make the room seem bigger, while sheets of plastic laminate or solid composite have interesting decorative potential. Being waterproof and needing few joins, they are a good choice for bathrooms. Using paper-backed fabric to line walls is a traditional (if expensive) technique that is great for insulating against cold and noise and, taking this notion further, leather walls add luxurious character, soften sounds and are even fire-retardant. Cork walls are warm and soft to the touch, eco-friendly, insulating and soundproofing, and come in a range of colours, patterns and textures. You could even consider polished plaster, which has a beautiful depth of colour, or sheet metal for an unusual, industrial look.

BATHROOM BASICS

10 Series pivot door and inline panel with side panel, from £1,863.70, Merlyn Showering: 00 353 56 779 15555; merlynshowering.com.

Pure and simple or luxuriously ornate, your bathroom can be a practical and indulgent haven. When planning a bathroom, practicalities must come first, but with thought and inspiration from books, magazines and websites, you can create a room that reflects your style as well as being warm and welcoming, clean and calm. Think about who will use the room, how often and when, and consider the fittings you want. Sketch the room to scale on squared paper, indicating the positions of windows, doors, radiators and pipes, and allow generous space to move around in. Avoid moving pipes if possible to reduce installation costs. Plan out the electrics, marking the position of light fittings (which must be wet-rated) and perhaps a shaver socket/ toothbrush charger. Shallow false walls can hide cables and pipework, while underfloor heating frees up wall space as no radiator is needed. Finally, work out what is possible given your budget and available space. Bathroom fittings come in a multitude of styles and prices, but simplicity is often best; if on a tight budget, invest most in moving parts such as shower doors and taps. Include plenty of free-standing or built-in storage. Go to showrooms and stand in the shower, climb into the bath and sit on the loo – you’ll be using them daily for years so they must be comfortable and well made. Check products conform to British or European standards and what guarantee is on offer. Baths The more you pay, the more variety there is. A standard bath is a 1700x700mm rectangle, but there are double-ended,

corner and free-standing baths. Acrylic is most common but baths made from stone, wood, copper or glass are available. Showers The three key features are flow control, thermostatic control and easy cleaning. More costly models may include constant temperature control, a hot water safety limiter, cool housing, water-saving, adjustable sprays and easy-clean functions. Basins Options include the traditional ceramic pedestal style model, winged, semi-pedestal, counter-top or wall-hung. WCs Choices include basic pan and cistern loos, the closecoupled style (where the pan and cistern are in one seamless unit), a back-to-wall WC where the cistern is hidden behind a false wall or furniture, or a contemporary, wall-hung type.

Wet Rooms A wet room is simply a waterproof, walk-in shower area with a drain in the floor, a drenching shower head and – sometimes – a glass screen. Spacious, stylish and luxurious, wet rooms can have pitfalls, especially if not on the ground floor. To prevent leaks, their walls and floors must be made completely watertight by covering with sheeting or sealant, and you need a suitable drainage slope (or a pre-formed tray), high water pressure and – to prevent condensation and mould – excellent ventilation.

Luxembourg

‘Expect the unexpected,’ they say, and compact as it is, this is a truly surprising city, looping around its natural and man-made wonders on many different levels. Carved by the deep gorges of the Pétrusse and Alzette rivers, it teeters on the edge of precipitous cliffs, spanned by myriad bridges and viaducts. In this dramatic setting a good place to start is Constitution Square, where above the valley of the Pétrusse the iconic statue of the ‘Golden Lady’ holds out a crown of laurel leaves as a national emblem for pride and peace. Just steps away the mighty Aldolphe bridge towers above the ravine, where the tiny rivulet meanders among flowering trees, pocket-sized allotments, dainty footbridges and deserted trails. Wandering through this lush country-like oasis you can hardly believe you are in the city centre, but back on the top the cathedral beckons, a three-spired pilgrimage site in flamboyant Gothic style with a touch of Renaissance, guarding the tombs of the Grand Ducal family. It’s only a stroll to the Parliament House, the Grand Ducal Palace and the bourgeois dwellings and picturesque lanes of the Old Town, listed by Unesco. There are spacious parks and pleasant town squares, most popular the Place d’Armes surrounded by pedestrian shopping lanes. Named after military parades held under the Sun King, the locals call it ‘the city’s living room’, a place to meet friends on a café terrace, relax under the trees, browse the market stalls or dance on festival days. Along Holy Spirit Street, the square by the same name has some stunning views across the

lower town, close to Quirinus, the 11th century chapel with a miraculous spring, and the hidden confluence of the Pétrusse and the lovely Alzette which curls around the eastern edge of the city. There, above the Alzette, the Chemin de la Corniche was described by a local writer as ‘the most beautiful balcony in Europe’ lined with some of the finest aristocratic buildings, following the old ramparts all the way to the Bock, the rocky outcrop where history began in 963. Towers, citadel, gates, fortified bridge, casemates with 23 km of tunnels hewn into the cliffs: lords and masters left their marks over the centuries but today, on the banks of the Alzette, the Lower Grund is the most enticing district with its quiet lanes, half-timbered houses and at the heart of it all the striking Neumünster Abbey, now turned into a cultural centre. There are some delightful walks along the river, all shimmering reflections as weeping willows whisper below the garden terraces and a mini vineyard. But close to the airport, the Kirchberg plateau is a totally different world, a 21st century celebration dedicated to business, finance, European institutions and art in dazzling architectural styles. Top of the list are the Modern Art Museum (MUDAM) and the Philharmonie Concert Hall which claims three auditoriums. Luxembourg is indeed a city of many faces, the enduring capital of the last Grand Duchy in the world, traditional, vibrant and truly unique.

Notes from your local Ironbridge Gorge Councillor It was recently announced that the decommissioned Ironbridge Power Station has been sold to UK regeneration company Harworth Group plc. Harworth are planning a mixed-use development and have a strong track record in the regeneration of industrial sites. During my recent meeting with Harworth it was encouraging to hear of their plans to hold technical based workshops with local stakeholders in September to specifically explore the potential of the site and the future use. Harworth confirmed that they will then proceed to engage in public consultation in October of this year. This is excellent news as it is vital that our communities have an opportunity to contribute to shaping the future of this site and provide the new owners with their knowledge on this important site to ensure we take a collaborative and inclusive approach. Telford Steam Railway are currently developing plans to extend their track at a cost of up to £400,000 which is being funded by its successful Polar Express franchise. A Heritage railway service is part of a wider plan to provide visitors with an appropriate means of accessing the World Heritage Site and improve the Borough’s sustainable transport links. This proposal would interconnect key sites across the local area from Lawley Village right through to Coalbrookdale and potentially into the Ironbridge Power Station. There are significant economic benefits to this proposal and I believe the Telford Steam Railway could become a gateway to the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site, whilst providing an opportunity to expand our sustainable transport links into Ironbridge, diversify our destination offering and connect key assets across borders.

OPEN EVENING

Shropshire's premier male barbershop chorus, The Telfordaires, is inviting new members. The Telford Barbershop Harmony Club will be holding an Open Evening on Wednesday 12th September, at The Old Hall School in Wellington, at 7.30pm. In place of their regular rehearsal night, guests will have the opportunity to join the chorus in learning a brand new arrangement in 4-part harmony, created especially for the occasion by their Musical Director, Dr Liz Garnett. Barbershop singing offers not only the fun and fellowship of making music with others, but also opportunities to develop new skills and have new experiences. The Telfordaires are part of an international community of barbershop organisations, and regularly compete at national contests held by the British Association of Barbershop Singers. Formed over thirty years ago as the Madeley & District Male Voice Choir, the Telford Barbershop Harmony Club was born from the members’ interest in A Cappella singing. Performing a full repertoire of traditional and new arrangements, The Telfordaires entertain audiences at a wide variety of venues from business conferences to charity events. As a registered charity, the Telfordaires promote music in the community and supports local charities around the region. For more information about the Open Evening, or to book the Telfordaires to sing at your event - contact details: Freephone 08454 631 618 www.telfordaires.co.uk

Books

TWISTED FAIRY TALES If you like your fairy tales more Brothers Grimm than Disney, you’re in for a treat with this lot…

The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories – Angela Carter

Angela Carter is often seen as the queen of the reimagined fairy tale. In this collection, the stories are as dark, twisted and brilliantly written as they come. The main story, The Bloody Chamber, is a retelling of the French folk tale Bluebeard, which sees a young wife make a gruesome discovery in a locked room at her new husband’s house. The collection also includes retellings of Puss in Boots, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and Red Riding Hood.

Grimm Tales for Old and Young – Philip Pullman

Pullman has reworked 50 of the Grimm brothers’ tales. He’s kept most of the content the same, but updated the language and ‘tidied them up’. The collection includes well-known tales, such as Rapunzel, Cinderella and Rumpelstiltskin, along with lesser-known stories such as Hans-My-Hedgehog and The Musicians of Bremen.

Revolting Rhymes – Roald Dahl

Dahl’s childhood classic is more than 35 years old but still just as funny today. Six well-known fairy stories are reimagined in rhyme, with various twists to the tales and extra helpings of gore. Cinderella’s stepsister has her head chopped off, Red Riding Hood turns out to be a crack shot with a pistol and Jack’s mum gets eaten when she climbs the beanstalk. Great fun for kids and parents alike.

The Surface Breaks – Louise O’Neill

The Surface Breaks is a feminist reimagining of The Little Mermaid. In Gaia’s world, mermaids are supposed to look good, entertain the mermen and stay subservient. Gaia’s father, the king, rules with an iron fist. Gaia swaps her life underwater, her tail and her voice for a chance with the man she saves from a shipwreck. But is he really worth it? An intriguing, thoughtprovoking tale.

Kissing the Witch – Emma Donoghue

Donoghue wrote Kissing the Witch long before her bestselling Room. It’s a collection of 13 rewritten well-known tales, including Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, and Snow White. Whether it’s Cinderella choosing the Fairy Godmother over the prince, or Beauty discovering an entirely unexpected Beast, the tales are original and well-written. They’re also very short – perfect for enjoying over a coffee break.

The True Story of Hansel and Gretel – Louise Murphy

In Nazi-occupied Poland, two Jewish children take on new identities – Hansel and Gretel. Pursued by soldiers, the children’s father and stepmother urge the children to seek safety in the forest while they try to draw the danger away. Deep in the woods lives an old woman who may be the children’s only hope. A harrowing read, but a memorable one.
