BACK INAT TIME 32 6 • DESIGN

Design at 32 Design at 32 is a family run Storrington based business providing top quality Kitchens, Bathrooms and Home Renovation services throughout the West Sussex area.

Their speciality is the design and supply of clever practical kitchens and bathrooms. Taking into account your personal style and aspirations with careful attention to detail and ergonomic design they offer clever solutions for your home…Whether it’s a practical, family bathroom you require, or a tranquil adult space, they can provide the room for you.

With Twenty years’ experience in the kitchen and bathroom industry, you can be assured of an honest approach, detailed design and time spent working with you to achieve the best from your ideas.

We asked Stephen Tovee owner of Design at 32, what makes a good kitchen design?

June 2016 • Village Living

“Although it is important to have appliances, worktops and cupboards that is not the full story. I have been involved with kitchen design for twenty years. Once just a room with an oven, modern kitchens are spaces for honing culinary crafts, displaying designer cookware and hubs for social activity. Expectations are also higher.

There are new materials and technologies and a lot more inspiration available for the modern homeowner than ever before.

If you look at something for long enough you sometimes lose the ability to see the solution in your own home. My belief is that good design is about working with a customer to achieve what they feel is right. To make them realise the potential a room in their home has to offer. To advise them about what will work and what is available today and to be honest when an idea is not going to work.

DESIGN AT 32 • 7

Showroom: 32 High Street, Storrington, West Sussex RH20 4DU 01903 741004 enquiries@design-32.co.uk

Many people seek advice from companies that supply kitchens. Some companies also offer a fitting service that is detached from the actual company and therefore gives less control over the quality of the work, ‘designers’ also add their signature to a kitchen that has no relevance to the room or in fact their clients, thus removing all attributes unique to you, from the finished room. What consumers should look for instead is a team of people who are invested in a design that works for them and them alone, not the designer or supplier.

Kitchen and home design is about so much more than just aesthetics. Functionality plays a huge role in identifying the key ingredients to creating the ideal space and with so many options now available, it is exciting to fulfil the requirements that our clients present to us. We learn how you are going to use the space rather than focusing on the look of a design alone”

From initial conversations through to final fitting, Design at 32 work closely with you ensuring the end result is both visually stunning and highly efficient.

Whether your project is a simple extension, kitchen renovation or bathroom design we are able to deal with all aspects leaving you to go about your everyday life.

Using up to the minute computer technology to present you with life-like illustrations and schemes for discussion.

All of the latest technologies for drawers, storage, along with a range of classic, contemporary and modern finishes. You also, of course, have choices for appliances and worktops to suit your space, style and budget.

SOOTHING TOUCH – STEYNING • 13

SOOTHING TOUCH initially provided standard holistic therapies to clients of all ages, but following growing demands soon expanded into other specialised treatments so the therapies provided now include: Hot Stone Massage, Hopi Ear Candling, Indian Head, Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue Massage and Sports Injury Therapy.

In addition to the holistic therapies, Soothing Touch recognised clients’ needs and has recently expanded services into the beauty market.

Soothing Touch is proud to offer TipToe Nails which is the latest offering from the highly skilled and trained Tracey Milton. When asked why Soothing Touch continues to expand services Tracey said: ‘Over the years I have added therapies in response to demands made from my clients, most recently my clients have been asking me when I was going to offer beauty services? so I took the plunge, I undertook accredited training which has enabled me to expand my offerings to my new venture ‘TipToe Nails’ TipToe Nails provides high quality manicure and pedicures using products ranging from high gloss nail polish, the latest stunning gel nails to a wide selection of the latest colours including traditional French manicure.

How to be Happy :)

BACK IN TIME • 23

There has been an explosion. Everywhere you go you see them. In the newsagent, at the railway, in the bookshop, at the supermarket. I’ve even seen them in pet shops and garden centres. I’m talking about colouring books. They are everywhere, and the point of them is to help you be mindful.

Mindful? What’s that all about then? It’s a concept and a practice that’s been around for a while but is now getting some flack; probably because of all those crazy books.

To be fair, the books of beautiful outlines ready to be turned into fantastical works of art are wonderful. People love them and will spend hours recapturing the sense of fulfillment they had as a child. The point of them is to get you to focus on doing just one thing. You’re not supposed to do your colouring while watching television for instance. It is suggested that you concentrate on the feel of the crayons, the lovely colours, the outlines, and therefore free your mind of the usual chatter.

That is what mindfulness is about. Freeing your brain from constant chatter.

Mindfulness, whether through colouring books or meditation is a growing phenomenon.

I think it is because we are all so busy now, and with our screens and the urgency of life, becoming disconnected from what matters. Our brains are not used to us doing so many things at once. Picture the mother who is texting her friend, half listening to the radio, trying to make tea, and answering her give her child the same time. No wonder she’s getting frustrated and grumpy, and we can see why the child is playing up because he’s not getting her focused attention.

You can use Mindfulness in your life in various ways. Deciding to concentrate on enjoying a job you usually hate is a great way to get through it. If you are washing up you could notice the heat of the water, see the action of the bubbles and wonder at their shape. As you scrub away at a pan, you might notice how satisfying it is to get it all shiny again and how that makes you feel. What you will notice is that your mind is no longer thinking a dozen different things and your breath has slowed. That’s a great stress buster.

Mindfulness helps you enjoy your food more. Imagine a mealtime where you turn off all distractions and really take notice of your food. Instead of eating quickly, chattering away and not really being aware of the meal in front of you. Treat it as if you’ve never had it before.

What does it look and smell like? How does the texture feel in your mouth? Also, if you, think about where it has come from, the effort that has gone into producing it, you will come to appreciate it more, and the people who have worked so get it to you. This is one meal you’ll really appreciate!

It’s time to stop and breath and do one thing at a time. Even if you don’t think you’re being “mindful”, it feels so good when the world slows down and you can briefly observe what’s really going on next to you. And the more you look, the more you see and you’ll feel just a bit happier.

28 • BELLEAU BACK IN TIME KITCHEN

Lemon Polenta Olive Oil Cake This cake is basically sunshine on a plate... it sings with the zesty freshness of lemons and sugar and is the most wonderful golden yellow colour from the polenta. Some people aren’t crazy about the texture of the polenta as it has a definite bite to it but I love this added crunch as it’s really not expected in a cake and the whole thing is still incredibly light and of course gluten-free and dairy-free which is a double win for many. The cake works very well left entirely plain but the strawberries dipped in milk chocolate added a little something else to the proceedings which I was very happy with.

For the cake: 160ml good quality extra virgin olive oil, 200g caster sugar, 100g ground almonds, 100g polenta 100g gluten free flour mix by Dove’s Farm (or you could use just increase the polenta & ground almonds), 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, 3 large free-range eggs, zest of 2 lemons (save juice for syrup) For the syrup: Juice of 1 lemon, 50 grams icing sugar

Grease and line the base and sides of a 22cm springform cake tin with baking parchment and pre-heat the oven to 180°C in a large bowl beat the oil and sugar with an electric whisk until pale and frothy – roughly 5 mins.

Mix together the almonds, flour and baking powder, and beat some of this into the butter-sugar mixture, followed by 1 egg, then alternate dry ingredients and eggs, beating all the while. Finally, beat in the lemon zest and scrape the mixture into your prepared tin and bake in the oven for about 30 - 40 minutes.

The cake is cooked if a skewer comes out cleanish and the edges of the cake begin to shrink away from the sides of the tin. Remove from the oven to a wire cooling rack, but leave in its tin and prick all over with a skewer.

Make the syrup by boiling together the lemon juice and icing sugar in a smallish saucepan or microwave and then pour the warm syrup over the cake. Leave to cool before taking it out of its tin.

HENFIELD FESTIVAL OF GARDENS & ARTS • 29

Henfield Festival of Gardens & Arts T

his festival is one of the highlights of Henfield’s year attracting people from a wide area. The festival is in its 17th year and will be held on 11/12 June.

Well over 30 venues comprising a mixture of lovingly-tended private gardens together with community buildings will be open between 11am and 5pm on each day. A good number of the venues will display art and craft of a wide variety including photography, painting, jewellery, ceramics, model making, embroidery all designed and crafted by individuals or local clubs and societies. Others will hold music events such as solo and choral singing, jazz and folk, handbell ringing and Morris dancing. An important ingredient of the festival is the homemade lunches and teas available in some of the gardens; pubs and cafes will also be open.

Most of the venues are easily walkable in a village with an abundance of footpaths. The community minibus will take you to the few venues further afield. Entrance to all venues is free, but voluntary charitable donations will be gratefully received.

Full details can be found in a blue guide available from pubs, libraries and some shops in all surrounding towns and villages from mid May. Do look out for one and come along to what promises to be an exciting weekend. Further information also can be found on the village website www.henfieldhub.com.
