It’s hard to believe that nearly a decade after we first launched our luxury lifestyle magazine, we have now reached our 25th issue. And although we have had many imitators, we believe that we are still providing our readership with the ultimate in aspirational living. From our focus on the future ‘Supercar Heroes’, to Calleija’s unique jewellery designs, to the Versace phone we have something to suit all tastes. Our fashion focus this issue has been on the final Alexander McQueen collection, as we demonstrate why this design genius will be missed, but not forgotten. However, if you are thinking of getting away from the autumnal weather, find out why the Ayana Spa has been voted the ‘World’s Number One Spa’ by Conde Nast or take the ultimate two-wheel road trip with Columbus International. We ourselves have recognised that times are changing and are seeing an even bigger demand in our niche housing market, with more discerning property purchasers appreciating the uniqueness of the area in which we live. We hope you enjoy reading this anniversary edition of ‘Living the Dream’ and we look forward to helping you with your property requirements, whatever they may be.

At just 24-years-old, Rafa Nadal is considered one of the giants of the tennis scene and is currently ranked No. 1 in the world. He has won eight Grand Slam singles titles, the 2008 Olympic gold medal in singles, a record 18 ATP World Tour Masters, 1,000 tournaments and was part of the Spanish Davis Cup team that won the finals in 2004, 2008 and 2009. Nadal was ranked World No. 2, behind Roger Federer for an astonishing 160 consecutive weeks before earning the position of No. 1. He held this ranking from 18 August 2008 to 5 July 2009 before regaining it on 7 June 2010 after winning his fifth French Open title. His success on clay has earned him the nickname “The King of Clay”, and has seen him heralded by some as the greatest clay court player ever. His chief rival is Roger Federer, an undisputed tennis master and they have been competing against each other since 2004. This rivalry has played a significant part in both of their careers and they are the only men in the open era who have played each other in seven Grand Slam finals, with
Nadal winning five times out of seven. Three of these five wins were on clay, his preferred surface, although he has beaten Federer twice on a non-clay surface: firstly in Wimbledon 2008 and then in the Australian Open 2009. Their epic Wimbledon final clash in 2008 has been cited by some tennis experts as the greatest match of all time. Rafael Nadal was born in Manacor, Majorca in June 1986. His uncle, Toni Nadal, a former professional tennis player, introduced him to tennis when he was three and has been coaching him ever since. At age eight, Nadal won an under-12 regional tennis championship at a time when he was also a promising football player. This made his uncle intensify his training schedule, getting Nadal to play left-handed− an advantage in tennis (even though he writes with his right hand). When Nadal was 12, he won the Spanish and European tennis titles for his age group and was constantly playing tennis and football. Something had to give, and Nadal’s father made him choose between the sports so that his schooling would not suffer. Nadal said: “I chose tennis. Football had to stop straight away.”

Nadal generally plays an aggressive, behind-the-baseline game founded on heavy topspin groundstrokes, consistency, speedy footwork, and tenacious court coverage. Known for his athleticism and speed, Nadal hits well on the run, constructing winning plays from seemingly defensive positions. Nadal’s serve is often considered a weak point in his game, however, his mental strength and strategic approach to the game are key to his success. Regardless of what the scoreboard states, he is singularly focused on winning the current point and gaining an advantage. Nadal can also assess factors including court surface, weather conditions, and the other player’s tactics in order to adjust his own play to the conditions he is facing.
his mental strength and strategic approach to the game are key to his success... ...he is singularly focused on winning the current point and gaining an advantage Despite his talent and skill, some have questioned his long-term future in the sport, citing his build and playing style as liable to injury. Nadal himself has admitted that the physical demands faced on the hard courts place ATP Tour players at risk of damaging themselves. Although much is known about his tennis ability, a lesser-known fact is his philanthropic spirit and his use of his celebrity status to positively influence the world in which he lives. He set up the Rafa Nadal Foundation as a private, non-profit making organisation whose principal objective is social assistance and co-operation towards development. Within these broad
14
aims, the more specific mission of his organisation is the promotion of education and sport as tools for the integration of individuals in situations of social marginalisation, placing special emphasis on children and young people. One such project that he has been involved in is the Anantapur School in India. This project arose from the collaboration between the Rafa Nadal Foundation and the Vicente Ferrer Foundation, and consists of the construction and maintenance of a school and a three-court tennis training centre; to improve the future opportunities and quality of life of 150 boys and girls in Anantapur. The children will receive educational support in English and mathematics, reinforced with training in computer skills in order to improve their integral education through sport. The project also contemplates nutritional and healthcare cover for the beneficiary students, in order to supplement their nutritional and medical needs. When asked about his Foundation, Nadal commented: “I feel like a privileged and lucky person who works doing what I like most. I’ve had unique experiences travelling around the world and seeing many people who needed help. I believe that this is the first step to put into practice our help through the foundation.” Family-oriented, philanthropic and already a legendary tennis player, what’s next for Nadal? He still has a long way to go to equal Federer’s record of 16 individual Grand Slams, however, should his body hold up to the demands of the game, we are confident that he will do his best to challenge his record.

View from the rear
After being so well received as a concept vehicle, the 918 has recently been confirmed as a production car, receiving a lot of press attention because of its performance combined with its green credentials. Powered by a 500bhp V8 engine, partnered with 3 electric motors producing 218bhp, the 918 is able to accelerate from 0 - 60 in 3.2 seconds whilst achieving fuel consumption figures of 94 mpg. The transmission is a 7-speed gearbox coupled to Porsche’s own (PDK) double clutch system delivering power to the rear axle. The two electric motors drive the front wheels directly through a fixed ratio while a third electric motor is connected to the transmission and gives additional power to the rear wheels. The 918 Spyder offers 4 different running modes, E-Drive allows the car to run under battery power alone, using the rear electric motor only, giving a range of 16 miles (26 km), then there are the three hybrid modes, Hybrid, Sport and Race. The hybrid modes use both the engine and electric motors to provide the desired levels of economy and performance. In Race mode a push-to-pass button is available to deliver additional electrical power.

Ferrari’s new extreme V12 Berlinetta, the 599 GTO, delivered a lap time of just 1 minute and 24 seconds at Fiorano, making it the fastest road-going model in the Company’s history. This limited-edition special series of just 599 models is the new pinnacle of Prancing Horse sportiness and has benefited to an enormous degree from making the transition of introducing technological advances from the track. Many of the cutting-edge solutions sported by the 599 GTO are also the product of

the Maranello engineers’ experience in the development of the 599XX, the prototype experimental car of which, as its legendary moniker suggests, the 599 GTO is the road-homologated version. In the past, only the very special Ferraris have been worthy of the GTO badge and this car is no exception. The 6 litre V12 rear wheel drive engine produces 670 bhp launching the car off the line to 60 mph in 3.35 seconds and onto a top speed of 210mph. At a cost of £300,000 there are no longer any available to order with all 599 models already assigned to many of the world’s car collectors and enthusiasts.

The Reventon lights
With its Italian rival Ferrari launching the 458 (featured in LLTD issue 23), Lamborghini has taken the already impressive Gallardo 560-4 and shaved off a few pounds, added some power and created the LP 570-4 Superleggera. By removing some 70kg and squeezing 10bhp more out of the fabulous 5.2 litre V10, the Superleggera is capable of accelerating from 0-62 in 3.4 seconds, 0-124mph in 10.2 seconds and generating a top speed in the region of 200mph. The flagship Gallardo had been improved all over, not just with added performance but with new interior / exterior styling and an improved soundtrack.

This added performance does come at a cost, at 28,000 more than the standard car, the exclusivity of owning an LP-570 will set you back £178,000. Interestingly this is

more than the Ferrari 458.

ALE XAN DER McQUEEN As you would expect, Alexander McQueen’s collections combine an in-depth working knowledge of bespoke British tailoring, the fine workmanship of the French Haute Couture atelier and the impeccable finish of Italian manufacturing. The focus for the Autumn/Winter 2010 collection was all about prints with a collection focused on exquisitely knitted patterns that, magnified into further prints, tie-dye, paint splatters and chainmail – dotted with skulls. Alexander McQueen’s collection evokes the culture of explorers and sea faring peoples, whose lives and attire are about protection and survival in extreme conditions, and whose legacy pokes through the melting snow and ice like ancient artefacts and bones.

c i s s cla ROLLING BACK TIME The Rolex Submariner The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner is a range of watches exclusively manufactured by Rolex, designed for diving and known for their exceptional resistance to water. Often imitated, the Rolex Submariner is perceived as a classic and a widely recognised luxury product both in looks and performance. The watch has been part of expeditions both at sea and overland in the Antarctic (withstanding temperatures of 45 degrees below zero Celsius) and has featured in eleven James Bond films. The Submariner model went into production in 1953, and was showcased at the Basel watch fair in 1954. The first Submariners were distinctive as they didn’t have the trademark “cathedral”/”Mercedes” hands, which are strongly associated with the line. In fact, early submariners had straight “pencil” style hands. Few of the 6205 watches bear the name “Submariner” on the dial – a major distinction with modern Submariners. Some 6204 models have the Submariner logo printed below the centre pinion, while others have the logo blacked out, due to trademark issues connected with the name “Submariner” at the time they were released.
Early Submariners used either gilt or gilt/silver printing on glossy black dials. Radium paint was used for the luminous indices, which was changed to Tritium-infused paint in the early 60s. The next wave of Submariners, the 5512 and 5513, marked a significant change in the Rolex design. “Shoulders” were added to the crown side of the case providing protection for the winding/setting mechanism. The 5512 and 5513 were also fitted with the oversized crown, which became a feature of the Submariner line. In 1965-1966, Rolex discontinued gilt/silver or gilt dials, switching to white printing. The 1680 was the first Submariner to be equipped with a date complication, completing the transition from specialist tool watch to mass-market fashion accessory. Over the next 40-years, although the Submariner’s developed functionally and cosmetically, it’s still unmistakeably descended from the first Submariners of over 50-years ago.

Candy LLoyds ‘living the dream’ takes a look around candy & candy’s flagship superyacht
90
yscape II 91
Candy & Candy, the London based interior design and development management company, doesn’t tend to follow trends, where possible the company endeavours to break away from fashionable decorations as this is the key to creating timeless interiors. If a client wants them to follow a particular style or trend then they will create whatever the client wants but will ultimately look to create a unique and bespoke version of this style. For their most recent yacht commission, Candyscape II, a luxury 62-metre yacht was designed by the marine and aviation team, Candy & Candy in collaboration with Italian yacht manufacturer Viareggio Super Yachts. This partnership was rewarded when Candyscape II recently won a significant award ‘Best Displacement Motor Yacht 500 GT-1,299GT’, at the prestigious Superyacht World Awards 2010. A strong theme / influence runs through the yacht; ‘man and the machine’, and many of the design and technical details relate back to this theme. This has successfully created integration and connectivity between each space – everything flows and there is no discord. Whilst each room has a different purpose / function, all the spaces are cohesive and complimentary to one another. Marrying the interior with naval architecture and exterior styling by Espen 92
Oeino, Candyscape II combines elements of 1930s glamour with 21st Century chic and efficiency. The 62-metre yacht was completed in November 2009 and accommodates 12 guests in 6 cabins and incorporates a host of intricate finishes from crystal chandeliers, leather hide floors and multiple wood finishes. Unique design features include a split-level owners and VIP suite on the main deck with a shared gymnasium; a media room with a 103-inch plasma screen and a circular glass lift that runs through the centre of the yacht, with glass floor surrounds on each floor.
Unique design features include a split-level owners and VIP suite on the main deck with a shared gymnasium; a media room with a 103-inch plasma screen and a circular glass lift Candyscape II is MCA coded and RINA Green Certificated – fulfilling the highest standards in environmental protection for prevention against pollution of the air and the sea.
The overall design concept / inspiration is based on ‘intelligent nature’ – a host of technologies that can respond to naturally occurring phenomena such as light, temperature and movement. The rear of the vast sundeck features a circular daybed that rotates automatically to the sun, to ensure guests are never in the shade. The interior lighting is dynamically controlled to work in harmony with the external environment and is designed to maintain each room as the ideal tranquil space or in a moment fill them with energy and vitality. A three-dimensional projector in a rosewood panelled study displays the position of the yacht anywhere in the globe and through a live satellite uplink, overlays real time weather patterns. The world’s first Segmented Sun Orrery – charts the hangs position of the planets in our solar systems from the ceiling of the media room. A one-off piece of artwork, inspired by the weather systems and the oceans currents, has been specially commissioned and features in the dining room. The technical areas have been carefully considered with a central corridor that runs the full length of the yacht, allowing crew to carry out maintenance work without going into any guest areas. Candyscape II has the ability to redirect clean air through the main funnel or to port and starboard when needed.
About Candy & Candy Clients are Candy & Candy’s first inspiration, as they often bring enthusiasm and a unique perspective to the design. The team are inspired to deliver the unexpected and draw on influences from around the world and different eras. Their creative directors cite international travel and attention to detail as the inspiration behind many of their designs. They approach a new client project as a blank canvas, making it clear from the beginning that they can create any design they want. The team ask lots of questions about how the client lives and what their priorities are because they believe that the secret of a successful interior is to really understand the clients’ needs and help interpret their personal and / or family desires. Clients are asked to consider what existing collections of art work or furniture they may wish to include as this helps to guide / influence the design they create. Candy & Candy take time to live their client’s life, working with them during the design process to create an interior that eases their everyday needs whilst capturing their personality within a beautifully personalised design.
93
The company’s projects vary enormously, both in style and size – they have worked on 500 acre traditional country homes, to villas in Dubai, India and across Europe, not to mention several contemporary lateral apartments in Central London. They can work to any brief and have a huge breadth of experience. Accordingly, their fees are balanced depending on the scope of the project and the relevant team of specialists required. Candy & Candy operates differently to most other design houses. Clients of Candy & Candy benefit from an open book policy – they request a flat design fee’ which covers the interior design and project management expertise. Every other cost incurred on the project including all furnishings, artwork, contractors, architects are presented openly to the client without a mark up. Candy & Candy, therefore, is in a position to negotiate hard on behalf of the client to get the best possible price and pass on all discounts that they receive, because they receive no fees on this basis.

EMMA WATSON Last year was hugely significant for Emma Watson. She had her final teenage birthday, she started university – and became the highest paid female star in Hollywood. The actress is reported to have banked more in 2009 than some of Hollywood’s most established stars. Her income was estimated at £20million in a table of Hollywood’s top 40 earners compiled by Vanity Fair magazine and she charted at 14th overall, achieving the notable distinction of being the youngest person to appear on the list. Hollywood’s top-earning actress, fashionista, model, designer and student – are just some of the titles that could be attributed to Emma Watson. And at just twenty she has achieved more than most people manage in a lifetime. Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson was born on 15 April 1990 in Paris, with her family moving back to England when Emma was just five. She first demonstrated her talent for acting at Lynams School when, at the age of seven, she won the Daisy Pratt poetry competition for her recital of ‘The Sea’ by James Reeves.
At the age of nine, Emma auditioned for a role in the first Harry Potter film, which she duly won and began filming at the age of 10 with the young Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint. On its opening day, the film broke records worldwide and Emma won critical acclaim for her performance as Hermione Granger. Ten years on and a $5.4 billion movie franchise later – the rest is as they say history! Emma’s global popularity has won her many awards such as the AOL Moviegoer’s Award for Best Actress (won on two occasions) and countless magazine covers. She was the youngest actress to grace the covers of Teen Vogue (2005) and the UK’s Tatler magazine (2007) and has since appeared on covers and in magazines such as V, Italian Vogue and Elle. Emma continues to play the role that has defined her and is filming the last two films in the series – Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 and Part 2. She has grown up with Hermione and the Harry Potter films and has openly admitted that she will be distraught when the final film is completed.
97
“I think we will all be devastated as it’s been ten years of our lives, and in fact half of mine. I love playing Hermione and have made such good friends at Leavesden over the years, so of course it’s going to feel very weird it finally ending. But, you have to look back on the good times and be thankful for being given such an incredible opportunity and then put your best foot forward.” In 2007, Emma accepted her first role outside of the Harry Potter films playing Pauline Fossil in the BBC’s drama Ballet Shoes. The drama was incredibly well received and viewed by over 5.2 million people. The following year, Emma voiced her first animated character (playing opposite Dustin Hoffman, Sigourney Weaver and Matthew Broderick) with the role of Princess Pea in Universal Pictures’ The Tale of Despereaux. Her education remains a passion equally close to Emma’s heart and she is now studying for a Liberal Arts degree in Ivy League Brown University in the United States. But does she regret choosing an American university over a British one? “I was seriously torn as to whether to stay in the UK or go to the States as let’s face it the UK has some of the best universities in the world. But, ultimately, I loved the course at Brown and really liked the idea of experiencing a different country and culture – and I must say I’ve never been happier.” Emma is also widely respected for her knowledge and interest in fashion. She has been chosen twice by Christopher Bailey as the face of Burberry in their Autumn/Winter campaign in 2009 and Spring/Summer campaign in 2010. She has also been photographed by the world’s top fashion
96 98
photographers including Karl Lagerfeld, Mario Testino, Nick Knight and Patrick Demarchelier. Emma also works closely with organic and fair trade pioneer People Tree. As well as promoting fair trade and organic fashion, she has been heavily involved in the design of the company’s Spring/Summer range 2010 and credited as Creative Adviser and will be collaborating with the company on their Spring/Summer collection for 2011. “I wanted to help People Tree produce a younger range because I was excited by the idea of using fashion as a tool to alleviate poverty and knew it was something I could help make a difference with.” With so many options, it’s difficult to imagine what Emma will do next. In fact, she is quite candid about her plans for the future. “For the moment I’m really enjoying university life and feel that I still have so much to experience and so much to discover. I don’t have any definite plans for the future at the moment and that’s all part of growing up. But, I still love acting and hope to continue whether it be on stage or in film.” However, whichever direction she chooses her future is destined to be magical.

OTTOMANS TO
100
CHERISH Bius is known for its wholly distinctive furniture. Their bold experimentations in upholstered seating normally find their way into the homes of collectors and connoisseurs on both sides of the Atlantic. Though being so rarefied has never rested easily with the designers so, in the spirit of the times, they launched an online store – biusboutique – and designed cool little ottomans that ease into sturdy boxes to fly around the world – bringing joy from workshop door to... your door and mine. Or that’s the plan. And it’s a good one. Unlike their bespoke pieces, where their clients commission unique designs and wait several weeks for concept drawings, these ottomans can be studied in detail within seconds of reading this article. The website is designed to give a 360° view of any ottoman you like, and with a flick of the mouse you can engage a magnifying glass to see the craftsmanship and texture in detail. You can view them in a room setting to envisage their scale and how well they sit in an environment. Not being people in a rush the designers want you to stop rushing too.
Bius knock the stuffing out of their clients’ notion of upholstered furniture by their redefinition of seating as soft, sensual sculpture.
Take your time and order fabric samples of your favourites to judge the texture and colour in your own home, at your leisure. You won’t have buyer’s remorse if you buy from biusboutique – unless you regret buying just one! The fantastic thing about their ottomans is that you can order one with no idea where to put it. Once it arrives you can try it in different rooms throughout your home before settling it in the right place – it’s then that you may see you need a few more! They live happily together as a family: the line and curve of their legs and bodies play off against one another. Online you will see two collections on biusboutique – a third is due out in late autumn. Each collection is quite different. The first, is all about voluptuous ribbed legs in beautiful striped wool. While the second is pared back so the flavour is concentrated in the seats. Confident abstract patterns in sophisticated colour palettes lay on a painted steel frame with a scent of mid-century modern.
101
The designers’ philosophy is that objects in our homes should provide enormous pleasure and evoke strong emotions. Though inanimate, a bius piece has a soulful presence and it’s possible to understand how their owners can grow so attached. So who designs them? Mary Little and Peter Wheeler met in the early eighties when he was successfully designing products for high volume manufacturers and she was just coming out of art college with a folio full of outrageous ideas. After she went through the process of making mistakes, taking many knocks, working abroad and gaining valuable experience they finally got their professional act together. They formed bius in London and began taking commissions to design and build furniture for public arts projects and for high-end residential clients. They established a name on the gallery circuit in the contemporary craft field, which North Americans in particular value highly. By 2001 a prominent D.C. collector had encouraged them to move to the U.S. The studio is now based in leafy Connecticut, north east of New York, where all along the Eastern Seaboard from Boston to Miami there is a strong appreciation for craftsmanship and distinctive bespoke furniture. From here they’ve also returned to Peter’s roots and are designing for North American manufacturers.
102
They both have a strong affinity for textiles and love collaborating with artists and craftsmen. Luna is in a fabric created with Berkeley artist, Jean Cacicedo. In Nipa Shibori they worked to bring out the life and sensuality of shibori fabric, hand-made by the Japanese master craftsmen Tsuyoshi Kuno and Hiroshi Murase. Elder has textured cotton peeping out of carefully positioned slits in the asymmetric, flowing seams. You can see bius’ furniture at www.designbius.com and their ‘ottomans to cherish’ at www.biusboutique.com. To contact them, call +1 203 737 0861 or mail@biusboutique.com.

ROAD TRIP Experience the ultimate in motorcycling with Columbus International
104
Based in Cannes, France, Columbus has created a new way for its customers to experience the latest motorcycle specialities without the inconvenience of ownership. The concept is straightforward. Members pay an annual fee and in return get a full credit to spend on Columbus’ fine motorbikes and exclusive services. But, its not only about the financial benefit – with over 300 days of annual sunshine and pleasant temperatures, the South of France belongs to the best driving spots in the world. The choice of breathtaking roads along the winding Mediterranean coast and twisting mountain routes is near endless. Access is easy – Nice airport is the second largest passenger airport in France. And for added convenience, Columbus has a chauffeur to collect you from the airport. Most of Columbus’ customers come from Europe and are looking for something special rather than just a simple means of transportation. As the saying goes “four wheels move the body – two wheels move the soul”. The South of France offers driving pleasure all year long. In summer, a great route is the Route Napoleon through the mountains. Sweeping bends are followed by changes in altitude and scenery ranging from mountain views to white water canyons and colourful lavender fields. In winter, the routes between Monaco and St. Tropez are unbeatable. Motorcycling doesn’t get much better than following an empty coastal road with red Esterel rock walls on one side and the blue Mediterranean on the other.
four wheels move the body – two wheels move the soul All motorbikes are insured fully comprehensive and serviced to the highest manufacturer standards. Columbus has the largest choice of rental Ducatis in France, including the new Multistrada 1200, Streetfighter 1098, Supersport 848, Hypermotard 1100 and Monster 696. In addition, motorbike icons such as the BMW S1000RR, Triumph Rocket III, MV Agusta Brutale 910R and a Hollister’s custom chopper are available for club members. It would be difficult to pinpoint “the jewel” of their collection. All of the motorbikes are special in their category: be it the styling, the engine, the handling or that “certain something”. All motorcycles are less than one year old and can be delivered within 100km of Cannes. On top of that, Columbus can arrange personal tour guides for the day or provide GPS navigation with pre-loaded routes. Helmet cameras are also available. But it’s not only about riding fine bikes. Columbus also organises luxury motorcycle holidays (weekend trips and week tours) throughout the year. There is something for everyone, with special tours for gourmet food and wine lovers, sports and culture fans and, of course, motor enthusiasts. One of their most popular trips is the Monaco F1 Grand Prix Tour, starting from 9,995 Euros per rider. This week-long tour enables you to experience the F1 Grand Prix in Monaco as a true VIP. The tour includes helicopter transfers between Nice and Monaco on race day and watching the Grand Prix from a highly sought-after location within touching distance of the thrills and spills of this legendary race. But that is not all – you will also enjoy a day of driving a F1 car on a private racetrack yourself. Professional tuition will ensure you get the most out of this unique experience. To round off the trip, an experienced motorcycle guide will ensure loads of smiles per miles while you explore this special region on your chosen motorbike.

How do you make your savings grow? There are many independent financial advisers, but few offer a unique approach to you and your finances. Providing advice for more than 22 years, we are able to offer our clients a breadth of experience, but also a forward looking approach – no matter what the market conditions are. So how do we do this? With inflation remaining stubbornly high and interest rates historically low, savers are in danger of seeing their capital reduce in real terms. At Lewis we believe that we can help provide excellent long term inflation protection and at the same time provide an increase in your current income. Lewis put together commercial property investments and with bank lending very sporadic, we are finding ourselves in an excellent buying position with very little purchase competition. There is a window of opportunity to buy excellent properties at very favourable prices. This involves owning a small part of a commercial property which helps spread risk. We believe that buying quality property, in a good location, with strong tenants will always prove to be a sound long term investment and act as a good hedge against inflation. Those wanting income now simply receive their share of the rental income. Those wanting income in the future have a mortgage which is repaid each quarter from their share of the rental income.
Tim Lewis
Managing Director tlewis@lewisinvestment.co.uk
Tim Lewis, Managing Director says; “Our proposition is unique. We believe that most people are best served with a conservative portfolio of real assets. A strong combination of a small, but refined number of stockmarket investment funds, together with diversification through our well-managed property syndicates, provides the potential for longer term dependable returns not offered elsewhere. We always use a common sense approach to investment and work with our clients to strive to achieve their financial objectives and security.” Lewis’ have a number of pension and non-pension syndicates available taking advantage of the buying opportunities in the current commercial property market, with rental income in the 6 to 9% per annum range.
Aqua Peverell, in Poundbury, Dorchester is a typical Lewis syndicate investment. The premises has a government tenant and yields 6.3% annual income, paid monthly after charges but subject to income tax.

ALE XAN DER McQUEEN Alexander McQueen combines a romantic but determinedly contemporary nature to his collections. Integral to the McQueen culture is the juxtaposition between contrasting elements: fragility and strength, tradition and modernity, fluidity and severity. An openly emotional and even passionate viewpoint is realised with a profound respect and influence for the arts and crafts tradition. Alexander’s collections combine an in-depth working knowledge of bespoke British tailoring, the fine workmanship of the French Haute Couture atelier and the impeccable finish of Italian manufacturing. An apprenticeship at the traditional Savile Row tailors Anderson and Shephard and then at neighbouring Gieves and Hawkes ensured he became a master in the technical construction of clothing. And his time at the theatrical costumiers Angels and Bermans allowed him to master six methods of pattern cutting from the melodramatic 16th Century to the razor sharp tailoring which has become a McQueen signature. His iconic design-style meant that his professional success was assured. He was a four-time winner of the ‘British Designer of the Year’ award and won the ‘International Designer of the Year’ award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America. He was awarded the CBE in 2003. His extraordinary talent and creativity mean that his designs are adored not just by followers of haute couture but by lovers of great style everywhere. Lloyds ‘Living the Dream’ are pleased to showcase and celebrate his final Autumn/Winter collection. Please join us in recognising the work of a true style genius. 106 108

‘C’ FOR WOMEN Embracing Rose and Jasmine Absolute, and uniting it with Violet and Tuberose, ‘C’ reveals a sensual perfume brimming with voluptuousness and dangerous pleasure. Violet, lies at the heart, exhaling a sweet, flirty scent. Signifying dangerous pleasure and voluptuousness in the Victorian language, Tuberose brings a sensual and heady fragrance to its heart.

With its uniquely hand-made products, built with honesty and craftsmanship, Globe-Trotter has earned its place in luggage history. Lloyds ‘Living the Dream’ magazine takes a closer look at this luxury brand.
Cruise Full Set

Globe-Trotter Hand Made Luxury Luggage Synonymous with great British design, Globe-Trotter is the definition of hand made luxury luggage. A modern day classic, it offers a uniquely strong yet lightweight functionality with a stark, instantly recognisable aesthetic. Since 1897, the brand philosophy has been a simple one – never to compromise the integrity of the craftsmanship. It is this value that has made it one of the most loved and sought after suitcases with generations past and present. Globe-Trotter was founded in Saxony, Germany in 1897 by an Englishman called David Nelkin. In 1901, he moved to London with the company, and the rest is history. The unique characteristics of the suitcase were recognised and coveted by Royalty and Great British icons such as H.R.H. Queen Elizabeth II who chose it for her honeymoon luggage; and Sir Winston Churchill who always used the 18” attaché, which served as his Despatch Case during his time as Chancellor of the Exchequer. The durability combined with its light construction made it the choice of countless explorers. Sir Edmund Hilary found Globe-Trotter suitcases ideal to take up to first base camp during his conquest of Everest in 1951. Globe-Trotter is a uniquely hand made product. Expertly constructed from Vulcan Fibre, ash wood frame, cloth lining and leather trimming at the Globe-Trotter factory in Hertfordshire. Many of the experienced craftsmen have been with the company for decades; an industrial rarity that is evident in the pride and skill that goes into the quality of the finished result.

THE
CRAB
Enter The Land of Hula Hula – In The Middle of Berkshire
If people are looking for a hotel / restaurant in the M4 corridor that has recently been described as “delightfully different” and “undeniably fun”...then The Crab at Chieveley, in our mind, is the one to experience! And what an experience it is... set in the rolling hills of the heart of Berkshire lies a small but absolutely beautifully formed restaurant that is capturing the high society as well as fast becoming the next big celebrity haunt. The ancient Inn where Oliver Cromwell once stayed recently featured in The Times who described it as “wow, and wow again!”, The Crab at Chieveley is predominately known as a fish restaurant along with its 13 themed hotel suites all of which could easily be described as flamboyant and fun. There is no doubt that one of the main selling points of The Crab is the exquisite and delightful sea food, with even the likes of Anthony Worrall-Thompson saying that “it’s a quirky little place but they do fantastic non-poncy, I like to call it, good honest food”.
124
Head Chef, Jamie Hodson has worked with the likes of Marco Pierre White recently dedicated some time to finding out which dish his guests were attracted to the most and after recently selling over 700 servings of their famous scallops in just one month, the research was conclusive – the scallops are most definitely a crowd pleaser, with ‘posh’ fish and chips and Atlantic Snow Crab claiming second and third place respectively. The restaurant which prides itself in offering its many guests the option to choose whatever fish they desire (they will ask their fishermen to catch it especially for you!), is delighted that a light hearted bit of research has
ended up being so revealing. Jamie says; “I love home cooked, traditional food and I try to offer our guests something really special. The menu we have is diverse as we do cater for vegetarians and meat eaters, but I’m glad to see that our sea food, the thing that we’re known for, is still as popular as ever”. The Crab at Chieveley boasts numerous awards and currently has two rosettes. It is also very proud of one single exclusive dish that is Jamie’s own creation – and what a dish it is, the Rainbow of Fish – which is Seabass butterflied so it is boneless but still kept in one piece. Thin layers of other fish are then layered up inside the Seabass with a layer of spinach separating each fish in the following order – Mackerel, Black Bream, Grey Mullet and sliced Smoked Salmon. It is then finished off with a Tiger Prawn and Crab Mousse through the centre, rolled and wrapped to seal in the moisture. After years of travelling to the most exotic destinations and staying in the most sumptuous hotel rooms, the ‘Famous Rooms’ at The Crab have been individually designed using authentic fabrics and furnishings. The Famous Rooms, each designed in their own unique style, offers excellence in hotel accommodation and transports you to a world of indulgence and romance. Akin to travelling to the most exotic destinations (Bora Bora – the Polynesian Island, Tahiti, Morocco, Singapore) and staying in the most luxurious hotel accommodation around the globe, The Crab’s ‘Famous Rooms’ boasts five rooms with Hot Tub Gardens and Japanese Spa Suite reflects luxury and decadence synonymous with the best in hotel accommodation available. As expected from a boutique hotel, the rooms boast the finest Egyptian cotton sheets and pure white fluffy bathrobes and the comfiest handmade mattresses, wireless connection and state-of-the-art televisions & DVD players.

We all yearn for glowing youthful skin and wrinkle smoothing injections are the way to achieve it. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery over 2.4 million patients underwent this treatment in 2008 and it’s currently the leading non-surgical treatment. The injections have been used as muscle relaxants in the NHS for over 20-years, treating a variety of disorders. Whilst using the product medically, doctors discovered it decreased facial lines and wrinkles, and so the cosmetic industry evolved.

It’s worthwhile to find a professional that you trust. An experienced practitioner provides the advice and care that you need and also helps to achieve the “desired look”.

SAND POLO Lloyds Property Group was proud once again to sponsor a team at the 3rd British Beach Polo Championships at Sandbanks.
Polo is arguably the oldest recorded team sport in history, with the first matches being played in Persia over 2,500 years ago. Today, polo is played in 80 countries and was an Olympic sport from 1900 to 1939. Four polo matches took place on each day of the two-day event, held on the 9-10 July, with some of the finest polo players in the world taking to the sand. There were three players in each team. Number 1 was the striker, 2 the centre and 3 the back. Each game had four periods (chukkas) of 6 ½ minutes with intervals of four minutes after each period, except after the second period, where there is a six minute interval. The finale of each day’s play saw England, captained by the event’s Polo

Ambassador Jack Kidd take on South America under the captaincy of Matias Ballesteros from Argentina to win the Gauch Beach Polo Trophy.
Other spectacles during the event were an exhibition of camel polo (the first in Europe), Oakley International Beach Volleyball and the Charity Race between a Mercedes G Class and the fastest polo pony. Our Lloyds Property Group team were distinctive playing in their team colours of yellow and blue. The team was captained by Eden Ormerod, a player of 11-years experience. Eden who has a 7-goal handicap is currently playing at Druids Lodge, Wiltshire. He has represented young England (U21) and has since won a number of full England caps. Eden plays all year round and is one of the very best arena polo players in the world. Following an exciting event, Lloyds Property Group is looking forward to being part of the 2011 Championships.
