One of the highlights of this year’s Waterford Country Fair, at the historic Curraghmore House and Gardens, Portlaw, will be Jousting Scotland’s jousting team, Les Amis d’Onno, which will bring their “ Knights of the North” spectacular to the Fair on Sunday, June 12. Jo Breheny, Chair of Waterford Country Fair, said: “With fearless jousting knights displaying their wonderful horsemanship and battle techniques in skill at arms, foot combat and tournament jousting, it’s going to be a massive crowd pleaser.”

Don’t rely on gut feeling when buying your home

Having a weedy good time at the Bealtaine outdoor festival

MANY home-buyers rely on a gut feeling, and it’s always good to trust your instincts. But I’m sure you’ve often purchased an item of clothing in haste at some stage during your life and ended up with ‘buyer’s remorse’. So when making what will probably be the biggest purchase of your life it’s vital to ensure this isn’t how you end up feeling shortly after you walk through the front door. To make sure you are buying the most suitable property you must ﬁrstly assess your budget. If you have applied for and received mortgage approval from a bank then this will be pretty clear cut. If you are a cash buyer then set a limit and stick to it. Think about your ‘needs and wants’. “We need three bedrooms but we want a big back garden.” Your needs should always be the priority not matching these will surely lead along the road to ‘buyers remorse’ in the future. The second major thing to consider is if you want to live in a house or an apartment. Apartment living is great for some; no garden maintenance, city centre locations, modern clean and fresh. But you also

have the additional service fees and proximity to neighbours to consider. A house generally means more space, less noisey neighbours, no service charges but more maintenance and investment in the property over time. Nearby amenities should definitely be considered when home hunting. The old phrase ‘location, location, location’ springs to mind. There’s no point matching your needs, wants and budget but ‘making do’ with a location that will never work. The final question you need to ask yourself is; are you prepared to do some refurbishment or building work? A lot of buyers want a turn key condition property and can’t visualise how poorly presented properties can eventually look. There are some bargains to be found if you’re prepared to do some extra work. The benefit of being prepared to take on a ‘fixer upper’ is that you’ll get the home you want, right down to the fixtures and fittings, although the additional work will need to be factored into your budget. • Cormac Finlay is an auctioneer with Liberty Blue Estate Agents

HOW TO PACK IN STYLE... Bikini: I imagine youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get a few stares if you go without one! If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on a budget you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t beat Forever 21 selection of Bikinis and you can buy a full set for as a little as â&#x201A;¬4.80! Maxi Dress: If you buy nothing else this summer, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go wrong with the good auld reliable maxi dress. They look sexy, stylish and can be sophisticated looking when heading out for a nice meal at night. Where to Buy: River Island and Littlewoods.ie are my favourite places to find a really good selection. You pair your maxi dress with some wedges and some funky accessories and boom you have an outfit which you can go casual into night! Hats: I love hats and I always bring a straw hat with me where ever I go in the sun as I never leave the sun get at my face hence no wrinkles yet! A straw hat is essential for summer. Where to buy: I love the selection in Penneys and for only â&#x201A;¬5 how could you go wrong? Flip-Flops: No outfit is complete in the sun without a comfy stylish pair of flip flops for days lazing by the pool.

Where to buy: I love River Islands Selection of flip flops for â&#x201A;¬25 or you can get really nice pairs in Penneys for as little as â&#x201A;¬8 Sunglasses: No outfit is complete with a pair of stylish sun glasses. Check out River Islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s copy designer sun glasses for only â&#x201A;¬17. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know about you, but gone are the days for me of buying sun glasses for â&#x201A;¬200- â&#x201A;¬300. What is the point of splashing the cash when they almost always end up being scratched, lost or stolen! At least if you lose your â&#x201A;¬17 pair you can say they served their purpose. Dress: The little black dress. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seriously think about going on hols without packing your LBD for a perfect summer night on the town. Asos. com have a great selection of

Join the party with Lollyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 20,000 followers on

dresses with prices starting at â&#x201A;¬20 bargains! Clutch: Big clutch bags are in again this summer, (remember you are trying to travel light!). Check out River Islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s selection of clutches starting at â&#x201A;¬30 and will be perfect to complete your summer look. Accessories: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m obsessed with accessories, they can dresses up any outfit. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go past Penneysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; massive selection starting for as little as â&#x201A;¬1. Heels: Make sure you pack a tan or nude pair of wedges both colours will allow you to wear them with most outfits. It also cuts down on the amount of shoes you have to pack them to go with most outfits and therefore lets us cut down on the amount of the pairs we have to bring. +DSS\ KROLGD\V /RYH /ROO\ [[

Wine Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Clock l Chilean out with a redhead W IN seventeenth century France, some wine makFr ers er crossed the red Cabernet n Franc grape with the white w Sauvignon Blanc. They were just playing T around a and had no idea what they might create. w What W they came up with was Cabernet Sauvignon, the grape gr which has become the most m popular source of red wine around the world. It w is the key grape in the blended win wines of Bordeaux and the g sole grape in many wines produced elsewhere. It gi gives full-bodied, fruity wines that develop well in the bottle or in oak casks. They all share a rich, smooth characterist and taste of blackcurteristic

rant and cherry, but they vary a lot depending on where they have been produced and how, and for how long, they have been allowed to mature. In the last century, production of Cabernet Sauvignon spread to many countries, from the Napa Valley in California to the Beqaa Valley in Lebanon. It found a home in New Zealandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hawkes Bay, Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Margaret River and Coonawarra regions and Chileâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Maipo Valley and Colchagua. The big Australians and some of the Californians are too fruity for my taste - I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind drinking blackcurrant but I draw the line at blackcurrant jam. They are also

alarmingly high in alcohol. I prefer the subtler tastes of the New Zealanders and, best of all, the Chileans, which are smooth and fruity but light. Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva Especial 2011 has cherry as well as blackcurrant in its Ă&#x20AC;DYRXUV DQG LV JRRG YDOXH DW â&#x201A;Ź14.99 from Dunnes. But if it is value you are after , you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t beat Cimarosa Cabernet Sauvignon 2014, â&#x201A;Ź6.99 at Lidl. In that same style of lighter, brighter red is PĂŠrez Cruz, Cabernet Suvignon 2013, â&#x201A;Ź18.99 from Florrieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fine Wine, Tramore and independent retailers.

TALKING THE TALK PAUL HOPKINS

The TV actors who wind up dead AS I was saying last week, I have been an inveterate follower of TV crime shows going back to my early teens but of late am totally hooked on the newer genre which brings a grittier realism to matters of law and order. , KDYH MXVW ÂżQLVKHG ZDWFKLQJ VL[ VHDVRQV RI %OXH Bloods. It stars Tom Selleck (he of 80sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Magnum PI fame) as NYC Police Commissioner Francis Reagan, third generation New York Irish. What sets it apart from the pack is that all of widower Frank Reaganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family are involved in law and order. His widowed father is a former commissioner, his divorced and only daughter is an assistant district attorney and his two sons are cops, one a decorated homicide detective, the other a rookie but with a Harvard degree in law. There was also a third son, Joe, who we never see but is often referred to at the weekly Sunday dinners in the family home which tend to be an epilogue of each episode and where all loose ends are tidied up. Joe was shot in the line of duty, working undercover. Blue Bloods, shot entirely on the streets of NYC, could have easily fallen into a cardboard pastiche Âľ79 FRS GUDPDV of predecessors. But it never has and is seldom KDYH XSSHG WKH less than riveting, with YLROHQFH DQG frequent references to real life, such as the days GHOLYHUHG PRUH of Frank Serpico, the famed whistleblower, and VKRFN YDOXH RQ how former Mayor Rudi WKH DXWRSV\ WDEOHÂś Giuliani cleaned up the streets of NYC. There is another great cop show with a rather tentative Irish connection. Law & Order SVU, now in its 18th season, stars the very talented Mariska Hargitay as Det. Olivia Benson. When the series originally aired in the late 1990s, she had last billing on the opening credits. In the last decade she has had top billing, is now also a producer of the show, and is the highest paid actress on American TV. Mariska Hargitayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother was the late Jayne 0DQVÂżHOG RQH RI WKH OHDGLQJ VH[ V\PEROV RI +ROO\wood in the late 50s and 60s. In June 1967, Mariska, then aged three, and her two younger brothers were in the back seat of a car when it was involved in the fatal accident that killed their mother and her driver. The children escaped with minor injuries. A Sunday in April of the same year as her death, 0DQVÂżHOG ZDV GXH WR SHUIRUP DW WKH 0RXQW %UDQdon Hotel, Tralee. A letter from the Bishop of Kerry was sent to all churches requesting that people not attend the show. On RTĂ&#x2030; the late Bill Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Herlihy asked the people of Tralee for their views on ManVÂżHOGÂśV SURSRVHG YLVLW 2QH PDQ VDLG Âł,W GRHVQÂśW seem right to my mind bringing an exponent of sex to a Catholic town.â&#x20AC;? Just before the arrival of the actress, the show was cancelled. In the past few years, TV cop dramas, in aiming to be more realistic, have upped the violence and delivered more shock value on the autopsy table. 7KH 6FUHHQ $FWRUV *XLOG GRHVQÂśW NHHS ÂżJXUHV RQ corpse roles, but seven of the top 10 most-watched TV dramas use corpse actors. It all means more work for extras, casting agents and makeup artists who supply corpses in various stages of decomposition. Such shows have hundreds of prosthetic chests that can be cut open during autopsy, organs that can be pulled out and removable limbs. A â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;freshly deadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; body requires an actor being on the set for merely one or two takes. A body that is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;morgue deadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; requires an actor to be still for three hours or more to get into chalky-white full-body makeup and a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Y incisionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; across the chest. The pay? Between $150 to $200 a day. Some days it pays to be dead â&#x20AC;Ś

Examine thyself

To BBQ or not to BBQ? That is the question... Ingaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eye On Design For all your home & interior tips LAST weekend I really thought we were into the BBQ season. How naive was I, judging by the weather weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had in the past few days. Nonetheless I remain optimistic. Already Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure the

rusty aul BBQ has been dragged out, cleaned and ready to go. In a lot of cases a new one will have to be considered. There is a great selection to be had from Woodies, Argos and Norrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Just looking at

them can conjure up that smokey woody smell that attacks our nostrils with a pleasurable sense of cooking, sunshine, memories, family and friends. Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charcoal, gas or building your own, there is a wide variety of designs and sizes to suit your space and pocket. People nowadays are better equipped in the art of barbecuing. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thinking here of my grandparents, what would they think ? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are you going back to being a caveman or whatâ&#x20AC;?. The word barbecue comes from a Spanish interpretation of the Caribbean word â&#x20AC;&#x153;Barbacoaâ&#x20AC;?.

It was not a way of cooking food in those days but a wooden structure used by Taino Indians to smoke their food. Eventually the meat ZDV FRRNHG RYHU WKH ÂżUH and this method spread worldwide to what we know today-slow cooking of meat over a naked Ă&#x20AC;DPH And so readers, on with the BBQ sauce, light the coals, lay the table, let the man in the house put on his funny apron and let the cooking begin. Roll on those hazy lazy days of summer.

YESTERDAY I was in an exam hall, a community centre on the fringes of the city, and as well heated as Greenland, working on a rickety secondary school table I propped up with two folded Kleenex, writing reams. There were two reasons â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one was to qualify in skills I lack. The other was to experience what exams are like again. My lecturer thought I was mad saying this but then his kids arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t old enough for him to realise what a young person at this time of year goes through. Exams are not for the faint hearted. There was a queue for the one toilet that was working in the hall yesterday. It was a mixture of post Leaving Cert BA students and us mature round-the-block ones. The things we all had in common? We hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t revised early enough. We werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as prepared as we should have been. We were all nervous. Which is the other reason I did it. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need any PRUH TXDOLÂżFDWLRQV DW P\ DJH DQG VWDJH ,I \RX GRQÂśW think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m up to scratch I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re up to much is my middle aged attitude. I wanted to remember what it was like to put your whole learning on the line for the sake of a three-hour performance slot. And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m reminded that if this is what education is designed for it really isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t working. You cannot rule out that the tens of thousands of Irish people sitting exams at this time of year are being assessed by a system that suits the system - not the student. A counter intuitive solution to the reality that HYHU\RQH EHQHÂżWV IURP education â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but no one EHQHÂżWV IURP FUDPPLQJ LW into revision and examination. If you like this method itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your prerogative. But if you like to absorb knowledge, remain interested in it, become motivated by it, then you would also like continuous assessment because it does what it says. It shows your process, documents your progress and highlights the areas which need strengthening. I had a look across the tables yesterday, the bowed heads, bad strip lighting, bottles of water, boiled sweets, pencil cases and tissues. I watched the pale facHV RI RXU \RXQJ SHRSOH WURRS LQ DQG WKH Ă&#x20AC;XVKHG IDFHV leaving. Relief and disappointment, anxiously analysing what came up. Nothing has changed for thirty years, when I sat the Leaving, and probably hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for 100 years before that. Pointless really. To hot-house them, to corral them, to WUDLQ WKHP WR DQVZHU OLNH EDUNLQJ VHDOV ORRNLQJ IRU ÂżVK Let them reach knowledge through enquiry, let them learn through interest, direct themselves towards successes, negotiate mistakes. This is what they will learn when school and college is over. By chance on Facebook I saw the Class of 1985, my class, photographed on the steps of my school. I realised the exam hall of yesterday was not dissimilar to the one I went to that early summer. I returned to my 17 years old self, a model student having a bad year. I thought of the implications of that bad year, those meGLRFUH UHVXOWV RQ P\ FRQÂżGHQFH I still got on to the college course I wanted, had a successful career, raised a family, but I still had the exam nightmare dream for a number of years after it was all over. And it suddenly occurred to me that really my experience did stain my perception of who I was. Years later I was at Delphi, the Greek temple, where the ancient emperors went for guidance, and the inscription above it read Know Thyself. So I am writing this for all of you sitting state exams in the coming weeks, the ones who are sitting third level exams now. The true test is do you know you who are? If you know that you will succeed, regardless of grades. , ZDQWHG WR VD\ LW WR WKH WHQ RU ÂżIWHHQ ZKR OHIW HDUOLHU clearly without completing. My subsequent life, from the days of seventeen when I did not know the truth, has proved I am not what a grade says. I am what I say.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The true test is do you know who you are?â&#x20AC;?
