IN WOODBRIDGE

W

here does the time go? It seems incredible that it was three years ago in July that we published the first issue of Living In …

Whilst nervous of the reception we’d receive, we soon appreciated we’d created something special for Woodbridge, and have loved every minute since. Best of all is how the town has taken us to its heart, and that readers still get in touch to say how much they’ve enjoyed the latest issue or a particular feature.

And, reassuringly, there’s still hundreds more fascinating stories to tell about the town, its residents and what’s going on locally, which will keep us busy for quite some time to come.

For this issue, we met up with Libby Brown, head of Kyson Primary, as she plans her retirement at the end of the summer term.

After 19 years in the role, Libby is delighted with her successor’s appointment, and tells all on page seven.

Our Mover & Shaker on page nine is Dr Bella Smith. Known locally as a GP at St John’s Surgery in Woodbridge, Bella’s online presence as the Digital GP has seen her guesting on Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour and joining forces with local TV celeb Jimmy Doherty to promote women’s health.

We recently spent a great morning with Rick Sheepshanks, the man behind Stokes Sauces.

With his home and factory based in Rendlesham, Rick explains all about life at the ‘Saucery’ on page 13, as well as sharing his passion for rescuing animals.

Complete with all our usual features, we hope you enjoy this edition, and here’s to a sunny summer here in Suffolk.

On a final note, in our last issue we featured the singing sensation that is Melton-based Louisa Falconer who has launched her own EP, First Words. We got our e’s and a’s muddled at the end of her name so if you’re searching for her on Spotify or Apple Music, be sure to go to ‘Louisa Falconer.’

We love this powerful painting called Mountain Labyrinth by talented Woodbridge artist Val Armstrong, who knows more than most about the healing nature of art (see her story, pages 16 and 17). Val was halfway through this painting when her husband Dave Wood went missing in 2016 following a walk in the French Alps.

ell done to Melton’s Tony Moorcroft, who has helped raise a staggering £ 9,000 for Dementia Revolution, a charity close to his heart. Tony, whose dad suffered from Alz heimer’s and died just five months ago, says: “ Events included a pop-up at The Cooks Shed and our annual music festival at Woodbridge Football Club

with seven legendary local DJs. “ I also ran the London Marathon with a personal best of 4min 38sec and it all culminated with the Take 5 Chefs event featuring five superb local chefs. Local suppliers and restaurateurs gave their time, energy, passion and skill for free. It was an amaz ing evening and I want to thank everyone for their continued generosity.”

T

he Patient Participation Group (PPG) of Little St. John’s Street Surgery in Woodbridge has organised an invaluable drop-in event at the local library this month (June). Experts will be on hand to give practical advice and guidance on how to keep your heart working well.

Heart and circulatory diseases cause a quarter of all deaths in the U K, and twothirds of those are of people aged 75 or over. As Dr Gary Taylor, who leads the practice, says: “ Your heart is an essential part of you. It moves blood throughout your body. It is important to eat a healthy diet and exercise to keep your heart strong.

Come along to learn how to maintain a healthy heart! ’’ l Th e event runs from 2– 5p m on Tuesday, 11th June at Woodbridge Library. It’s op en to everyone, and free tea and coffee will be p rovided th rough out th e afternoon.

ongratulations to the town’s Ade Cory, who has penned his second book, Open Mike, which is now available to buy locally.

Dad-of-three Ade (pictured left), a marketeer by day and guitar-playing musician by night, tells us he drew on his own illuminating experiences of attending local open mic nights to write this comic work of fiction. “ I’ve been to lots of open mic nights at the Anchor and Angel in town as well as the Ship in Blaxhall, and you meet these characters who are so creative and brave, it’s so rich,” he smiles. “ I couldn’t help myself but to start writing about these things. I turned it into a whole satirical take! ” Open Mike, published by Mirador, follows the exploits of grocery shop owner Mike Grimshaw who lives in Peasenhall and plays at amateur open mic nights “ to stay sane” .

We can confirm that the Suffolk dialect, used by many of his characters, adds hugely to the book’s warmth and

humour and Ade, who originally hails from St Albans, says he researched the dialect in depth for the book. “ I enjoyed putting in all those local words and phrases, like ‘moosic’ for music,” he says.

Ade, whose first book is called On The Eighth Tin, says it was a “ classic midlife crisis” scenario that led him to try his hand at writing. “ I fell into it really; I got bored watching soap operas so I sat down one day and started writing. “ I love it. I really don’t understand the notion of writer’s block. It’s so rewarding just to get your ideas on paper, to get some acknowledgment from people around you, and then to take it to a wider audience like this and get validation. It makes you feel warm inside! ” Ade has also penned plays. “ I just came back from New York where I got a halfhour play picked up by a small rep company in Manhattan,” he adds. l Op en M ike: A Tale of Love, M oosic & Pigs, is available to buy at th e Woodbridge Emp orium, 66 Th e Th orough fare.

!""#$%&'()*(+ As Kyson’s head looks forward to her retirement, Living In … finds out what the future holds for Libby Brown and the school

A

fter 19 years as head of Kyson Primary School, Libby Brown is retiring at the end of this summer term. She says: “ Come the first day back at school in September, I’ll be walking the Pembrokeshire coastal path, hopefully in sunshine. I’ve also got a trip to New Z ealand planned for the autumn and have high hopes of becoming a devil on the golf course.”

Arriving at Kyson in 2000 following a headship at East Bergholt Primary, Libby freely admits she joined thinking she knew what she was doing. “ East Bergholt was half the siz e of Kyson, and with a very different socioeconomic mix of children. When I joined, the ratio of advantaged versus disadvantaged children was 80-20 but today it’s more like 60-40. If this mix could be emulated nationally, I believe we’d have much more cohesive youngsters.”

As head, Libby’s passion has always been to offer her pupils the best of all learning experiences. “ Whatever their starting point when they join us, we’re committed to seeing every child make progress and build quality and meaningful

relationships, which often includes respecting and appreciating the differences between each other.”

With Kyson’s capacity standing at 420, Libby continues: “ We’ve currently got 419 pupils and we’re always full, with two classes per year, each with 30 children. Totally inclusive, we have structures in place to support children with a huge range of conditions, from ADHD, dyslexia and dyspraxia to those on the autistic spectrum.

The support is always there, but never a banner.”

Looking to the future, Libby’s face lights up as she says her successor has been announced as her deputy head, Tom Gunson. “ Tom’s appointment as head is the best leaving gift I could have been given.”

Tempted by Libby to join Kyson five years ago, Tom had to compete with three external candidates for the headship. He says: “ The response I’ve received since my appointment was announced has been almost overwhelming. “ Currently teaching three days a week and working with Libby on the development of the school for the other two days, I know the strengths of the school. As such, the future is much more about adding a new chapter to a book, rather than writing a new one.”

Whilst Libby is enjoying the Pembrokeshire coastline as term starts on 2nd September, Tom says: “ At 8.55am, I’ll be on the gate, welcoming everyone back and meeting and greeting our new pupils and parents.”

Consistently voted ‘good’ by Ofsted, Libby explains why an

outstanding inspection has eluded them over the years. “ U ntil very recently, Ofsted has been very outcome driven. We’ve never achieved 100% when it comes to getting all our pupils to the national standard, because many of them join us aged three with few skills and leave us at 11 having made huge progress, but not necessarily meeting the national average. For us, this is real progress and an achievement to be celebrated.

“ Tom’s ap p ointment as h ead is the best leaving gift I could h ave been given” “ Amanda Spielman, who is now heading up Ofsted, is keen to look in more detail at what’s happening ‘under the bonnet’ of the school going forward. With this approach, Kyson would score 11 out of 10 every time.”

Both Libby and Tom are in total agreement when it comes to the school’s favourite word. “ It has to be bespoke,” says Tom. “ As much as possible everything we do is bespoke to a child’s needs and the needs of the community. And going forward, that’s how it’s going to remain.”

Leaving the last word to Libby, she says: “ I’ve been teaching for 36 years and I’m very fortunate that I made the right choice about my career all those years ago. Now, I’m looking forward to going into the adult world, doing some travelling and improving my handicap.” l kyson- suffolk.secure- dbp rimary. com

Woodbridge NHS doctor Bella Smith is also known as The Digital GP …

Tell us about your role.

I work as an NHS GP at Little St John’s St Surgery in the town centre. I felt more anonymous working in London. Here, you treat whole families and I love being part of the community. I also run The Digital GP which is my own website giving medical information. When you only get tenminute appointments with each patient, you often don’t have the time to give them all the information you’ve accrued, so this is where my website comes in!

Wh at’s your sp eciality?

Women’s health is where my passion lies – I see many women who are juggling such busy lives and often don’t have time for themselves. I deal with anything from menopause, skin, contraception to fertility and all gynae issues. I can perform minor surgical procedures, I’m very practical.

Also I cover men’s health and children.

It’s a small surgery with just six doctors but I think that’s part of our charm. We are accessible; people can just walk in and talk to us, it’s quite old school really and I think people like that.

And you’ve also been on Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour as well as Sky News.

Yes I have an agent now for all that. I feel like part of my mission is to inform, inspire and have an impact by providing free and honest medical information for busy women. I’ve also worked for Public Health England and done lots of other things, from public speaking to guest speaking at health retreats. I would like to do more in TV but nothing that takes me away from my home or my job too much. I’m here first and foremost for my patients.

Wh ere do you h ail from?

Northampton originally, but my granny and grandpa lived in Orford so we used to come here for these amaz ing holidays in the summer, where we’d sail – which I still do now. This area has always held a special place in my heart. When my husband Graham and I were living and working in London with our two children, we decided to take the plunge and leave. My parents moved to Orford around the same time we moved here, which was amaz ing – they really help out with the children. I’m very

close to my mum and dad; they’re my best friends.

Aren’t you also great friends with Jimmy Doh erty (from Jimmy’s F arm)?

The first day we arrived in Suffolk (six years ago) a friend invited us out to dinner and that’s where we met Jim and his wife, Michaela. I just hit it off with them both.

It was one of those things where we got on great and our husbands did too – they’re going away together this weekend. And our kids all get on amaz ingly too! We’ve since been on family holidays.

You and Jimmy recently made a video togeth er!

Yes, we were all on holiday in Sri Lanka at the time. I was telling him about the Public Health cervical screening campaign I’m part of and he said: “ Come on, we’ll do a video! ” So we sat upstairs and you can hear the sea in the background, and he asked me a load of questions and it’s been viewed something like 20,000 times on Twitter alone! It was amaz ing. He’s a normal, lovely guy and also dad to four girls so he doesn’t get embarrassed talking about such an important issue. Which is exactly the message we wanted to give, to stop any stigma …

their smear test. Cancer touches us all nowadays and you often think: If only there was a test or a vaccine to prevent it.

Well there is – for cervical cancer! We have these amaz ing screening tools to pick cervical cancer up. There’s also a vaccine for girls aged 12 and it’s available for boys as of September. My other passion is the Eve Appeal – it’s a brilliant U K charity raising awareness and funding research into the five gynaecological cancers including womb, ovarian, cervical, vaginal and vulva … 21 women die every day from one of these cancers.

Wh at do you love most about Woodbridge?

The people, the food, the weather and the nearby sea! l F or more information on Bella’s work, go to www.th edigitalgp .com Instagram: @th edigitalgp

You feel strongly about th is issue.

Yes, if everyone attended their cervical screening when invited, then deaths from cervical cancer could be reduced by 83% , and yet one in four women are not having

SAU CE SUPREM O On a visit to Stokes Sauces HQ , we discovered there’s much more to Rick Sheepshanks than a great tasting ketchup

“S

ometimes in life you just fall into things, and that’s what happened with me and sauces” , says Rick Sheepshanks, owner and founder of everyone’s favourite sauce company, Stokes. With his home and the factory, affectionately known as the Saucery, based in the grounds of the original Rendlesham Hall, Rick is a far cry from your standard businessman.

Freely admitting he’s always been a bit of a loner, he says: “ I attended 12 different places of education and left school with an underwhelming array of C and D ‘O’ level results. So, I set about doing a host of different things that held my interest, including travelling a lot and immersing myself in different cultures.

Rick tried his hand at all sorts of things including enrolling at agricultural college, taking jobs as a leaf sweeper and van driver in London, and being a tractor driver here in Suffolk. Rick’s brother David then invited him to join him at Starfish, a prawn processing factory he was setting up in Martlesham. “ Taking a job with David wasn’t in my plans, but I said yes and soon found myself responsible for managing the plant at the factory. Business was booming as we sold to the likes of Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury’s and Waitrose. U nintentionally I’d fallen into the food industry.”

“ We’re a team of 70 now and I really believe the y’re th e best 70 p eop le working in East Anglia” Time spent in British Columbia is responsible for my passion for trees. I spent several years abroad, including two and a half years in Rhodesia, now Z imbabwe, where I joined the army, but also worked for the parks and wildlife department caring for rhinos and elephants.”

Returning jobless to the U K in 1982,

David’s decision to sell the prawn business saw the brothers set up Suffolk Foods, which was producing 400 tons of mayonnaise a week from the factory here at Rendlesham and three sites in Martlesham, before it was sold. “ What always struck me about Suffolk Foods, was the fantastic people that

worked there. And, as I now knew about sauces, I decided to start again and launch my own business – Stokes. I truly believe people are happy to pay for quality and knew we could do something exciting based on integrity of taste and quality of ingredients. From the outset our values have been taste, quality and responsibility. But equally important are our internal values of kindness and getting it right first time. We’re a team of 70 now and I really believe they’re the best 70 people working in East Anglia.”

Whilst Stokes keeps Rick busy, he says life is not all about the sauces. “ I don’t get out of bed to make money.” Saying he’s never found himself bored, Rick’s passion is rescuing animals. “ We’ve got goats, and chickens and rabbits, as well as several breeds of wallaby, including one that everyone thought was extinct until it was rediscovered on an island off Australia in 1949, rhea, emu, a donkey and several deer that needed a home.

Plus, there’s eight rescue dogs in the house, including two deerhounds, so there’s always something to do and somebody that needs feeding.”

As his family moved to Suffolk back in 1923, the county is very much home to Rick. He says: “ I didn’t marry until I was 47 and we’ve four amaz ing children so I count myself very lucky. “ There’s a successful business in the back yard as well as a small z oo, so I never feel the need to escape. Life is pretty good in Rendlesham.” l www.stokessauces.co.uk

From this month, Stokes’ ketchup and mayonnaise are available in squeez y bottles. Two and a half years in development, each bottle is made from 100% recyclable PET plastic and by the end of 2019 Stokes aims to send 0% of its waste to landfill.

WILDLIF E to thrive at RIDUNA PARK At Riduna Park, efforts are not all about encouraging businesses to locate to the phased state-of-the art park development …

T

he owners are also doing their bit to ensure the six-acre site becomes a natural haven for bats, birds and wildlife.

To achieve this, Greener Growth, a regionally based community interest company (CIC), has been brought in to help create a natural environment that encourages local wildlife to visit and settle.

Riduna Park’s project manager, Katie Emerson, says: “ It’s great to have the team from Greener Growth here on site and they’ll be creating areas of wildfl owers and herbs, installing a number of hedgehog,

bat and bird boxes and making open spaces for office workers on site to enjoy at lunchtimes.”

With her team including highly experienced conservation and horticultural experts, as well as those specialising in construction for outdoor spaces, Greener Growth’s CEO, Joannah Metcalfe, says: “ This project is very exciting as the Riduna Park owners are so keen to create an area which protects and encourages wildlife and a stronger ecosystem.

Katie Emerson adds: “ It’s important to us that we’re able to find ways of preserving

the nature that exists on site, whilst at the same time providing the kind of spaces where residents in our offices want to spend a quiet few moments, or take their lunch break. “ Teaming up with Greener Growth is a great fit. We like that as a CIC they have a wider objective around educating people in specific groups and schools through horticultural therapy, whilst having a real understanding of our desire for a collaboration that can evolve as the site changes.”

With the first two phases of Riduna Park fully occupied, work on phase three will commence in spring 2020. l F or more information about Riduna Park and its offering, contact K atie on 01394 799089 or email katie@ridunah oldings.com or enq uiries@ridunap ark.com

t was the French artist Henri Matisse who once remarked that art is “ a sort of painkiller, a truce, a pleasant certainty which gives peace and tranquility.”

And no one knows this more than Val Armstrong, whose husband Dave Wood went missing without trace whilst out walking in the French Alps back in 2016.

Indeed, her time in the past, working as an art therapist in prison and various other establishments, showed her over and over the enormously healing power of art. “ At one stage,” says Val as she makes

ISSUE O NE… SUM M ER 2016

!""#$%&#'( LIVES

holiday home in southern France, where the couple were staying when Dave went missing.

It was when she returned to the U K and was living and working in Cambridge as an art therapist that Val first met this handsome, charismatic, curly-haired chap, with an incredible raz or-sharp wit and mind (“ he thought in algorithms” ) who was studying for a PhD in theoretical physics.

Theirs was the very best of foundations for a long and happy marriage. They started out as acquaintances and progressed to being best friends before love blossomed.

Gregarious and warm-hearted, Dave was a doting father to the couple’s two

V a l & D a ve sons, Danny and Richard. When he landed a job in Suffolk in the research department of BT, they made Woodbridge their “ forever home” 34 years ago and enjoyed life to the full.

Val believes Dave is no longer alive and many theories exist about how he met an untimely death as he took a walk in the blaz ing heat on that fateful August day in 2016. A large-scale search by the Alpes-Maritimes police department lasted ten agonising days and included officers, abseil teams, hundreds of local volunteers, sniffer dogs and a helicopter. “ It was, and remains, a nightmare,” she says.

Her experiences – both good and bad, old and new – are now refl ected in her amaz ing artwork which, this month (June), will be featured in the aptly-named Memories exhibition at Artspace in the Thoroughfare.

Val has teamed up with her good friends and fellow artists Gerry and David Spiller (see their story, right). These three Woodbridge-based artists express their own personal memory journeys through sculpture, drawing, painting and words.

For Val, who works from her tranquil garden studio, it’s quite simple – her artwork is getting her through the very toughest of times. Art is her salvation,

a place where she can lose herself in the moment and forget the constant agony of unanswered questions swirling over and over in her mind. “ It’s been a way of healing,” she says. “ I go into my studio and I put my music on and I’m working all the time to music, and sometimes I tidy up and get out the colours, but gradually I’m moving on to the right-hand side of my brain and into that z one. It sounds like a cliché but it’s the truth. When I paint, I go out of the world; it’s a fantastic place to be.”

After Dave went missing, Val felt blocked, unable to pick up a paintbrush, trapped in a tunnel of horror unable to find any answers or figure a way out. It’s no coincidence that labyrinths now figure hugely in her work; a nod, perhaps, to the double meaning of their presence. Dave also suffered labyrinthitis, an inner ear disorder, and one of the theories is that a sudden attack might have caused him to become diz z y, disoriented and fall.

The moment she realised she would be returning home to Woodbridge from France alone, from what should have been a wonderful break for the couple, it was uncertain whether Val would ever be able to paint again. “ At first I was froz en,” she says. “ I’d lost my memory, I was in complete shock.

Looking back I can’t really remember how I was at the time. Before Dave disappeared, I’d been painting these two big canvases.

The first night he was missing, I turned them to the wall. I could no longer look at them.”

It was an intensive online art course, which she signed up to along with her great friend Caroline, that helped her find a pathway back to her art. The deadlines, the discipline, the work all focused her mind. “ It makes me realise how powerful my own job as an art therapist had been in the past, that I really had made a difference,” she says.

OTHER ARTISTS …

Arts graduates Gerry and David Spiller now live in Melton after moving from Essex where they held annual exhibitions in their own gallery space. They regularly contribute to 12+ Arts, based in Suffolk, and to other exhibitions. Gerry draws with the Asylum life-drawing group.

In addition to drawing and painting, she is making exciting 3D works in wire and mixed media which explore the use of lighting, shadow and scale.

David is a landscape painter and writer. He also makes work in clay which links to his writing and he has recently published a collection of poetry, Cowparsley and other poems.

Now Val feels nurtured by the town she moved to with Dave in which they’d planned to grow old together. “ When we moved here from London, I felt so complete,” she recalls. “ I had my lovely husband and two children and I never wanted to leave. And then after Dave went missing, it was the love I felt. People here have been gorgeous, so supportive and not afraid to talk about him, which I really appreciate. I’ve felt very nurtured throughout this whole thing. In fact, I’ve been so lucky with my family and friends,” she adds. l M emories ex h ibition, Artsp ace, Th orough fare, Woodbridge, Th ursday, 13th June to Wednesday, 19th June. 10am – 5p m daily.

TRANSFORMER!

he first thing you notice about Melissa Day is how wise she is for such a young woman, imparting health and beauty advice which seems way beyond her years. U ntil, that is, you discover she’s at least ten, if not 15 years older than she actually looks!

And no wonder when you see the results of her amaz ingly rejuvenating treatments all delivered with an holistic and spiritual approach. “ Most people are a bit surprised when I tell them my age,” she laughs. “ But I’m lucky that I can try out all my treatments on myself, like I’m my own guinea pig! ” Fully qualified in facial and cosmetic acupuncture, Melissa is also an experienced Reiki practitioner and complementary therapist, running the highly acclaimed Niroshini Cosmetic Acupuncture between her hometown in Suffolk and London.

Her ethos is quite simple. “ I believe in a completely natural approach to beauty, health and facial rejuvenation using a combination of Eastern and Western therapies,” says the Sri Lankan born therapist. She blends facial and cosmetic acupuncture techniques and specialist massage, to provide the ultimate nonsurgical facelift. “ People worry that it will hurt when they have the 30+ acupuncture needles put into their face. Some needles you don’t even feel. If there’s a slight health imbalance, certain points may be more sensitive, however the sensation quickly settles. It’s actually incredibly relaxing,” smiles Melissa. “ Many clients fall asleep! ” Her remarkable life story is one of triumph over adversity. Born in Sri Lanka, she was adopted by a British couple and grew up in East Anglia. At 25, she found her birth family through an extraordinary twist of fate, after a holidaying friend in 2009 tracked down her late grandmother to a Sri Lankan tea plantation.

Melissa visited soon afterwards to discover that grinding poverty had played

Acupuncture Ritual – a nonsurgical facelift, using safe and centuries’ old traditions which promote all-over good health whilst replenishing the skin. “ It’s a safe and gentle solution to fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin, as well as a wide range of skin blemishes and conditions,” she says. “ We’ve had amaz ing results. People walk out of here with dramatic results and a healthy glow.”

And now she’s about to launch her transformative all-women retreats locally – at Halesworth’s lovely five star Belle Grove (pictured below) as well as the nearby Butley Priory. “ These all-women retreats will focus on enabling personal empowerment and balanced wellbeing,” she adds. “ With tailor-made treatments and time for each small group of five to seven women to bond, it will also offer the chance to focus on developing that deep core that we all have within us, that intuitive and knowing place. And it’s a great chance to promote the sharing of knowledge and personal development.”

Holistic facialist and complementary therapist Melissa Day is no stranger to turning people’s lives around … a key role in her birth mother giving her up for adoption at just eight weeks old.

Her grandmother, aunt and brothers all lived in a shack with a leaking roof on the tea plantation, while her birth mother worked in the capital, earning money to send back to the rest of the family. “ It was fantastic to meet them and they were incredibly welcoming,” says Melissa. “ I always thought that if I ever found my family I’d want to support them in some way.”

“ Peop le walk out of he re with dramatic results and a he alth y glow” And she did just that, becoming involved with a project called Tea Leaf Vision, run via U K registered charity Tea Leaf Trust, which offered her brothers, Ashok and Arun, places on its life-changing education programmes. Melissa has since raised tens of thousands of pounds for the charity.

And her brother Ashok now works on a direct trade tea plantation that supplies the tea for her own brand, known as Niroshini Direct Trade Tea. Now, Melissa is focusing on her other passion in life: helping to improve the lives – and looks – of her clients through her transformative treatments.

Melissa offers a holistic and spiritual approach to pretty much everything she does. As a member of the British Association of Beauty Therapy & Cosmetology and the Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council, she follows strict codes of ethics and practice, covering everything from hygiene to client confidentiality.

Her speciality is her Niroshini Cosmetic

DOG ABOUT TOWN

“ M um says h er clients get as much out of stroking me as th ey do th eir treatment”

“ Hello, my name is Peachy and apparently I’m the cutest golden cavachon you will ever meet. I think I’m a friendly dog but sometimes I growl if I feel a little out of my comfort z one – it’s just a puppy thing, as I’m only 18 weeks.

Oh yes, I also wake up Mum and Dad at 3am. My mum says I’ll grow out of it – she’s sleeping in the spare room until I do!

I look like Chewbacca, so my mum thought Chewy might be a good name for me, but ‘Peachy’ has stuck! My other owners (Z ack and Lila) love to cuddle me and tickle my tummy – where I have a thick white stripe.

Mum runs the lovely Orange Blossom Clinic in the town where she offers funnysounding treatments like refl exology and aromatherapy. She calls me the clinic therapy dog or lapdog as I help to de-stress clients who need cheering up. I stay for a cuddle during consultation then come back in after the end of the session. Mum says her clients get as much out of stroking me as they do their treatment. I guess I’m all-round pretty wonderful.” l To book a treatment at Orange Blossom Clinic, fi nd th e clinic on F acebook or call Alona on 07970 843949.

With Open Studios returning for its eighth year, artists across the county are showcasing their works over the five weekends this month (June). We caught up with three, who live locally, to discover what inspires them

T

his year’s only Open Studios artist to be based in Woodbridge, Susie Mendelsson is fascinated by the human figure in all its forms. Creating three-dimensional works using paper, wood, wire and recycled materials, she says: “ In my art anything goes – I even turn toothbrushes and pens into people.

There’s often autobiographical elements across my work, but however my figures evolve it’s always with a good dose of humour.”

OPEN STUDIO WEEK ENDS: 8TH/9TH JUNE – 29TH/30TH JUNE 46 Old Barrack Road, Woodbridge IP12 4ET www.susiemendelsson.co.uk

H

asketon-based Nicola Coe finds her inspiration in nature. U sing a combination of media and processes she says: “ Lots of my work involves eco-printing and natural dyes so it’s always a lovely surprise to see the finished piece. Inspiration can come from anywhere – it may be a particular leaf or even a hag stone found whilst walking at Shingle Street.”

OPEN STUDIO WEEK ENDS: 1ST/2ND JUNE, 15TH/16TH JUNE AND 29TH/30TH JUNE Th e Garden House, 5 Boulge Road, Hasketon IP13 6LA www.nicolacoe.co.uk

J

ulie Driscoll is known for her contemporary landscapes and muted tonal fl owers as well as her big bold abstract canvases.

A member of the Ipswich Art Society and a qualified occupational therapist, she says: “ Working with several clients, I combine my skill sets as a therapist and artist. With creative therapies reaping benefits including improvements in self-esteem and reductions in anxiety and depression, my sessions are very much about the process, being absorbed for a couple of hours and having fun.”

Julie’s student Rosemary Wood adds: “ I have two art sessions a week and they have changed my life. Whilst at her studio I’m able to forget my chronic back pain and immerse myself in the moment. I go with a friend and the whole session is very much about mindfulness and not how good you are at painting. I really believe Julie has a gift.”

The heart of the town One of four team leaders at the marvellous Hub community cafe, Carol Saunders, on its pivotal role in Woodbridge …

“ T

he Hub opened in January and is a not-for-profit, Fairtrade and locally sourced cafe, selling hot drinks as well as freshly baked scones and cakes supplied by the local Bakehouse bakery.

Based in St John’s Church on St John’s Hill, it is run by volunteers and has already built up a core group of regular customers.

The Hub aims to meet the needs of people who find themselves alone or have become isolated, as well as those who enjoy socialising and meeting new people.

Customers can join up with others to knit, natter and read the newspapers, or just sit quietly and catch up with a friend.

A new quiet table with wifi has recently been introduced. Primarily aimed at homeworkers wanting to link up with others over a coffee, this provides an accessible meeting place and means that they can keep an eye on their work as well.

Scott, a regular at the quiet table, says: “ This is a great place to mix business with pleasure, and work undisturbed in a relaxed and friendly environment. “ I also enjoy catching up with friends and making new acquaintances.”

The premises is a fl exible space with

plenty of room for pushchairs as well as an area with a soft rug for the babies to lie on. Mums with new babies may find it the perfect place to meet with their newly-formed baby groups, as they can sit and chat over a drink, while their babies are safe and out of harm’s way.

It is hard to capture the essence of what makes The Hub the happy and relaxed place it is. But some of this is revealed through the feedback from a couple of the regular customers.

Joy (not her real name), has recently joined us. Having been a full-time carer for her husband, who has had to move into a care home, Joy now finds herself with time on her hands and no regular activities. For her, The Hub has provided a regular Monday morning outing and a new group of friends to chat to and relax with.

Claire (not her real name) suffers from early stage dementia. For her, the cafe provides a safe place with people who now know her and to whom she can chat with ease and without any pressure or the need to explain.

The Hub also attracts local people as a place to meet and catch up with friends.

The very reasonably priced drinks and cakes are part of the lure, not to mention the prospect of tables and chairs outdoors as the weather warms up!

New on the agenda for The Hub in the autumn will be the addition of a monthly Repair Cafe. This is an exciting development and will involve working with other local Woodbridge organisations.

Repair cafes operate worldwide and focus on sustainability and ensuring traditional skills in ‘make do and mend’ are not lost but shared. The concept is for visitors to bring their broken items from home, then together with specialists, repair the item. This prevents many items from ending up in landfill sites. Of course, being within the cafe will enable visitors to also enjoy the refreshments whilst waiting for a repair table. Keep an eye out for opening dates!

Everyone is welcome at The Hub, which we hope will become a focal point for the community, where friends can meet up and new friendships can form.” l If you would like any furth er information, call 01394 383162 or visit www.facebook.com/th eh ubcafestj oh ns

!"#$! HOBBIES

HAPPY TALK !

“I

t’s an extraordinary thing, to stand up in front of strangers and not have a clue what’s about to happen. This is how Monday nights have looked for me recently, as a whole bunch of us brave souls bare our imaginations to the world and have a go at improvised comedy, or improv for short.

We usually start a session with a game, which in itself is a great night out.

Exploring what we know ourselves to be, alongside the parts that don’t get airtime.

A way to arrive in the space, shake off the day and start loosening up the mind and body, ready for new adventures! This evolves into practising the skills and exercises that guide us through the process of being aware of how that scene is unfolding. During the ‘scene’ you are discovering the place, situation and the relationship between you and the other improvisers as you speak, feeling your way along, following impulses and other dialogue that drops into the conversation to help in the mutually collaborative art of weaving a situation together. Breath is a wonderful aid within it all. We learn to be attentive to the skills and options available that lead us down different pathways at any given moment. We’ve discovered what is most interesting to an audience. Seemingly it’s the very simple things; the more real and believable the better, though it can also tip into the absurd, which is brilliant too.

Sometimes we work with one partner, other scenes have involved half a doz en at a time. It can be mayhem, which is fine as it means the mind doesn’t get a chance to think too much! Scenes I have found myself part of include: inhabiting a character with a French lover who said:

‘Je suis baguette,’ which obviously makes no sense; laying on a therapist’s couch sharing how my husband had been relegated to a camp bed while our massive Great Dane took up his side of the bed, much to his annoyance; and being in a town hall preparing for my grandmother’s 70th while the mayor tries to sabotage the party with his own self-centredness.

“ I’ve belly laughe d my way thr ough it” Every moment is rich with the element of surprise. It doesn’t seem to matter if you space out, splutter into a vague and rambling episode or break out in a sweat, it all makes for fabulous entertainment.

Several absolutely priceless scenarios have occurred in our sessions, always spontaneously, demonstrating the ethos of improv.

The team is led by a brilliant double act, Justine de Mierre and Alex Menhams.

Each with their own wealth of experience and bountiful enthusiasm, they provide a clean, stimulating and authentic space for us to explore, create and express in.

The group usually includes around 10 people per session. Being a closed group, we can build on what we learn whilst getting to know one another’s foibles!

Some of us have already performed, scaling the diz z y heights of open-mic superstardom in a variety of great local venues including Sweffl ing White Horse and The Kings Head in Woodbridge.

Enjoying Improv has been incredibly liberating. It has put us all in the position we most dread in social settings – dancing with the unknown and the distinct

Laura Gwynne on how local improv comedy classes changed her life possibility of looking foolish. But the gifts that come from it far outweigh the risks.

What we’ve got out of doing these sessions is a greater sense of play. Being available to truly listen to someone and taking on what they have to say to move it forward. To be open to wider opportunities than we originally imagined possible, which we then take into everyday life.

At the end of a session I realised I’ve belly laughed my way through it, tripping up on my own peculiarities, being raw and surprising myself in the company of others.

While the world spins on its axis, it’s an invitation to explore the kaleidoscope of your imagination; to let go and jump in.” l Details of new courses can be found at www.th eunq ualifi edyes.com/classes
