TALKING POINTS Manly men we love

Welcome to our world

If you’re spending your holidays with us in the Westcountry, hello and welcome! We sometimes take our life here for granted - so it’s good to be reminded just how lucky we are. Everyone loves the seaside - especially Cornish photographer Lucia Griggi, our cover girl this week. She takes us behind the scenes - or rather, under the water - to find out how those dramatic pictures of surfers actually happen (page 10). Our Today’s World this week is keeping chickens: don’t miss our competition to win a £100 voucher to spend at any Cornwall Farmers or Patch & Acre store. If you grow vegetables and you’re drowning in lettuce, you’ll be glad of a few tips from Tim Maddams, whom you may know from the River Cottage TV series. He gives us lots of new ideas to avoid “salad fatigue” and take full advantage of this underrated seasonal vegetable. We also talk to sixtysomething model Suzy Monty (page 14), and discover a new interiors shop on Dartmoor selling mouth-watering French homewares (page 20). Finally, our columnists bring up some topical subjects for August: travel disasters (page 21) and revisiting childhood memories (page 5). Enjoy the Westcountry - we know we do!

LUCIA GRIGGI

Queen of the deep By Becky Sheaves

o, where have you been already this year? I ask Lucia Griggi, the international surf photographer who comes from Summercourt in Cornwall. “Er, let me think…” she replies. She’s a bit distracted - I’m catching her just before she flies out to New York to see her agent. “I’ll have to work backwards, I just can’t remember! Right, I’ve just come back from Spain, before that I was in Mexico, then before that California. I was here in Cornwall in April. Then Fiji before that, and Hawaii. And I spent five months last winter in California.” Yes, that really is Lucia Griggi’s life. She chases around the world, £30,000 worth of camera kit in tow, taking her striking and memorable shots of all things surfing. As a former national-level competitive swimmer, she is able to don a pair of flippers and set off fearlessly into 30ft surf, waterproof camera in hand, to capture the moment where the huge wall of water breaks and a daring surfer rides the wave. Some of her pictures, such as the one of a surfer duck-diving under a huge wave in Fiji, have been licensed all over the world – you may have spotted that particular image in a recent Jeep advert campaign. In between all the jet-setting, though, home is her

parents’ farm just inland of the north Cornwall surfing beaches. And Cornwall is where her remarkable career started, as Lucia explains. “My mum is English, my dad’s from Venice. I grew up in Surrey and was a serious competitive swimmer until I was 19, spending four hours a day in a swimming pool. I studied to be a physiotherapist at university in London but then I wanted to do something different.” Almost by chance, she came to Cornwall, discovered surfing, learned how to ride the waves and then took some pictures for a surf magazine called Carve in “about 2006”. Gradually, a career was born: “I began by taking pictures from the beach. Then I managed to get hold of a waterproof casing for my camera and set off into the water,” she explains. Today, Lucia is often to be found in big waves worldwide, either swimming with her camera or riding on the back of a jetski. “I can end up chasing the big swells, and it’s very focussed, very exhilarating.” But it can be dangerous too, as she freely admits. Lucia was shooting pictures in a particularly big swell, about 40 - 50ft high, in Fiji in 2012. The swell was called The Thundercloud, also known - aptly - as Filthy Friday. “I was on the back of a jetski when we ended up having to rescue a surfer. The jetski couldn’t cope with three of us on board and it flipped over. “I lost all my camera equipment and it was especially frightening because I was wearing a life jacket, so I

es a perfect 10, Kelly Slater scor 13 20 ii, wa Ha Pipeline, was buoyant and couldn’t duck under the waves. I was just being pounded in the white water. It was absolutely traumatic.” On another occasion, Lucia was quietly in her bedroom in a rented house in South Africa when robbers broke in, stole all her camera kit, and ransacked the house. “I heard them and just stayed as quiet as a mouse. It was the right thing to do. I later heard they had gone up and down the whole street and had stabbed one victim and shot another,” she says. So it’s certainly a different way of making a living. But the rewards are not just financial, she explains. “Once you have seen a little, you want to see a lot. I love to travel and get a real buzz from going around the world, seeing amazing things and meeting incredible people.” To that end, she has found herself branching out. She now also does ad campaigns, often water-based. Olympic swimmer Chad le Clos was a recent subject – she has also done portraits, fashion and lifestyle pictures. “Obviously, £5,000 lenses don’t buy themselves, so my more commercial work supports the surf photography, which is so much more niche,” she says. “Some shoots can be very different to others. For an ad campaign, I’ll have stylists, assistants, make-up artists. But my surf photography is pared-back, just me, the ocean and the surfer.” And that is the way she likes it. “Travelling all round the world as I do, it’s a pretty selfish way of life,” she admits. “I do have a home in California now, and I come back to Cornwall as much as I can, but for the rest of the time I am in hotel rooms, living out of a suitcase. I’ve absolutely loved the freedom but turning 30 has made me look at life a little differently. I would like to find someone to share life with in the future, and maybe have children. “The thing is, I can’t imagine me settling down with someone who lives the 9-5 lifestyle. They would have to be an adventurer, like me. Maybe we could take turns to travel, while the other stays home and looks after the kids.” It sounds complicated – but if anyone can make it work, it’s Lucia. Meanwhile, she is starting a new venture. “I’m going to run some photography holidays,” she says. “When I was starting out, there was no one to advise me. Now, I can help people get great shots, in amazing places.” In October, she is leading a trip to Morocco. “It’s an expedition for people who want to improve their action, portrait and travel photography,” she explains. “We’ll have adventures by land and sea, over the Atlas mountains to Marrakesh and into the surf in the village of Tagazhout.” Lucia is also planning an equally exciting trip to Sri Lanka in May next year, as well as shorter courses in Newquay. Does she not worry about training up photographers who could, ultimately, become her competition professionally? “Honestly, no,” she smiles. “I think there is enough ocean out there for everyone and the more we all engage with it, the better.” For details of Lucia’s surf photography trip to Morocco (October 12-21), visit www.errantsurf.com/ stay/Morocco

SUZY MONTY

60 is the new 30 Glamourpuss Suzy Monty is still getting modelling work in her sixth decade. But it hasn’t always been easy to keep her place in the limelight

By Catherine Barnes

“

here’s nothing wrong with a bikini at any age,” says Suzy Monty, “just so long as you don’t let it all hang out.” Since making national headlines as Britain’s oldest glamour model, the 63-year old from Truro has found herself in hot demand from photographers and fashion designers alike, and has even turned down a place in the Big Brother house.

Slim, but with curves in all the right places – “I’ve got hips and a bust” – her 36-25-37 body appears to have defied laws of gravity. And, her swimwear shoots are making bigger waves now than they did when she was in her 20s. At 5’7” and a perfect size 10 for decades, Suzy has maintained a figure that would make a woman half her age green with envy. When we meet she is dressed in a red polka-dot frock cinched in with a white belt, very 1950s. Suzy radiates poise, and speaks with a warm eloquence. Her thick waist-length hair is streaked

with only a few threads of silver; Suzy looks younger than her years, but doesn’t claim or aim to pass for 40. “They say you ought to cut your hair at 30 – well, that’s wrong, too. I don’t dye it and when I go grey, I go grey. I wouldn’t ever have Botox – look at [83-year-old Vogue model] Daphne Selfe. She has plenty of wrinkles but looks fantastic. I want to inspire the older woman so she doesn’t feel invisible - I fight ageism every day, but do shoots with girls half my age. “I can’t stand anything fake - mine are real,” she adds laughing and gesturing to

her B-cups. “I couldn’t bear to tamper with my bust and my husband would probably divorce me if I did! They’re still uplifted.” Although she describes herself as a glamour model, it’s strictly in the old-fashioned sense. Although she was even dipped in chocolate for one sexy assignment, Suzy refuses to pose topless for Page Three style shoots, although has taken it all off for naturist magazine H &E. “Nudity doesn’t bother me at all, but I’d never do adult work,” she says firmly. “I’ve been asked to do Mrs Robinson shoots with male models,” she adds. “But when I think about the film poster shot, it only showed a leg.” Suzy first appeared on the catwalk age 10, when she walked off with first prize at a Bournemouth fashion contest. She modelled successfully throughout her 20s and 30s and won beauty contest titles, including Miss Cornwall Bikini. She and husband John - who prefers life out of the limelight - have been very happily married for 40 years. Plagued by debilitating health problems for three decades, Suzy never found the right time to have children. She did however set up what became the first licensed modelling agency in the Westcountry. London was alluring, but never an option. “I had 30 years of migraines and spent up to 14 hours in dark rooms, but I knew I could work around it, running the agency,” she says. “Would my life have turned out differently if I’d gone to the capital? Yes: at London rates, I’d be driving around in a Rolls Royce by now. I had to work my socks off to compete.” When a bad bout of glandular fever knocked her for six at the age of 40, Suzy reluctantly closed her agency and hung up her swimwear for good - or so she thought. In 2008, Helen Mirren caused a meltdown when her incredible red bikini-clad curves were papped in Italy. Suzy, then 57, was inspired to follow suit. She sent some bikini shots to a na-

tional newspaper, causing a media frenzy and resulting in offers of work that have seen her pose for more than 1,000 photographic shoots since then. Things were going swimmingly until Suzy suffered another health shock, just a few months short of her 60th birthday. After she was rushed to hospital with agonising pains in her abdomen, Suzy was told that doctors had found a tumor. If it was malignant, she may have just days to live. “The surgeon said we’ll open you up and if it’s cancer, we’ll close you up again and send you home. But if was the other thing – I still can’t pronounce it – then I’d be ok.” Suzy had Xanthogranulomatous cholecys-

titis – which doesn’t exactly trip off the tongue – a rare inflammatory disease of the gallbladder which affects just one in 100,000 people. Surgeons removed a (benign) tumour on her gall bladder before enacting major surgery on her liver, complete with bile duct re-construction. Thankful to be alive, Suzy spent a three month convalescence at home and was still recuperating on her 60th birthday, when her beloved dog fell ill and had to be put down. “I spent the day half laughing, half crying,” she remembers. Three months later, a photographer called to ask if she was interested in doing a bikini shoot. This proved the tonic she needed to make a full recovery.

“I can’t stand anything fake. Mine are real,” she adds, laughing and gesturing to her B-cups

“It was a beautiful sunny day and I felt so blessed,” says Suzy, who is candid about her belief in the power of positive thinking. “I am a spiritual person – it’s helped me through. I never expected to return to modelling and now every day’s a blessing. I’ve never been busier and I get to pick and choose my jobs.” After being splashed all over the national newspapers last year, Suzy was asked to take part in TV’s Big Brother, but turned it down. “There’s too much bullying and I wouldn’t want to be recognised in the street,” she explains. “I was also asked to be on Come Dine With Me, I love cooking, it’s my real forte, but I didn’t want cameras in my house. The Sunday Sport also asked me to go topless for big money – I turned that down, too.” So long as she’s offered jobs that meet her standards, Suzy is prepared to keep going for as long as she can. She attributes her youthful figure to good genes and keeps trim with a daily three-mile walk. She avoids fried foods and swears by the properties of fresh beetroot juice. “You should never be egotistical, but always love yourself,” she adds. With wardrobe that extends over four decades, Suzy is never short of something to wear that’s on trend. “Fashion goes round in circles. If you keep things long enough, it’ll come back, so long as you have the room to store it,” she says. “I’m also a big fan of Alison Ballard [the designer behind Newquay-based label Silly Old Sea Dog] – she’s encapsulated every size in her designs.” Suzy’s modelled for 1950’s-inspired Silly Old Sea Dog, and she’s also featured in fashion features as a mature bride.

“I love wedding dresses,” she says. “I never had a full white wedding dress myself. I wore a dress that cost £5 in a sale and a hat from M&S. My husband wore a leather jacket. I’m sure that’s why I like getting dressed up.” Suzy’s ultimate dream would be to pose for legendary photographer David Bailey, who now lives on Dartmoor. “I’d love that. He really captures his subjects,” she says. In the meantime, she continues to field requests sent to her from all manner of people and places, politely turning down those that step over the line. “I usually reply, I’m happily married, thank you,” she says. “And then I block them – no indecent proposals.”

“I don’t drink or smoke. I had a sip of beer once – it tasted like medicine”

ANNE SWITHINBANK

Prickly subject

Devon’s Anne Swithinbank, panellist on Radio 4’s Gardener’s Question Time, rubs shoulders with cacti collectors from around the globe ometimes one type of plant will dominate my working week and recently, it was cacti and succulents. These were my childhood sweethearts, and the novelty of all those Mexican hat plants, candle cactus and partridgebreasted aloes has never worn off. A serious temptation to collect has had to be shelved, due to time restrictions and the need to grow other plants. I set myself a limit of 30, beyond which I know there would be no return. You think 30 sounds like a lot? Read on. As one of the newly appointed patrons of the British Cactus and Succulent Society (the other is the plantsman and collector Tom Hart-Dyke) I was invited over to Leicester for their conference, held once every four years.

If you are looking for a fascinating hobby involving geography, habitats, conservation and keeping beautiful but durable plants, this could be for you.

This week’s to-do list Anne’s advice for your garden

•T rim hedges of all kinds including hornbeam and beech, box and privet. Use secateurs on laurel to avoid ugly cuts on large leaves. Lay a sheet to catch trimmings.

Question time with Anne Q

Can you suggest climbing plants for a sunny wall 1.5m/5ft high please?

Relatively low boundary walls are tricky because a lot of wall shrubs want to grow tall. I’ve seen rambling roses tied down and trained over a similar wall to great effect, but you are committed to annual pruning and training after flowering to cut out flowered stems and train in new. Something like ‘Hiawatha’ would be ideal. This bears clusters of deep pink flowers with paler centres. Though it has little scent, it will tolerate poor soil (such as that near a wall) well. Passion flower (Passiflora caerulea) loves the sun and will produce orange fruits after its white and purple flowers. Fill gaps with sweet peas, or have fun with gourds by sowing every spring.

Something has been munching the petals of several of my plants, including Shasta daisies and dahlias. Who are the culprits and how can I stop them ruining my flowers?

Examine the crime scene with a magnifying glass to look for slime trails (slugs or snails) or frass (posh word for caterpillar poo). Then, go out after dark with a torch to see who is munching. Slugs and snails lurk under plants by day and climb surprisingly high at night. Caterpillars of Silver Y and angle shade moths are also abundant. Set an earwig trap by poking a cane into the soil so one end is near the flowers. Push crumpled newspaper into a small flower pot and set this upside down on the cane end. Pull newspaper out in the morning and look for offending earwigs.

•K eep an eye on sweetcorn, as they’ll be ready when tassels turn brown. Split a small hole in the

green covering to look at the kernels. •C lear away spent crops and if you are not using the ground again, consider sowing a green manure such as phacelia or crimson clover to dig in during autumn or spring. This is on-site soil conditioning.

Caring for cacti and other succulents These are beautiful plants and will keep their good looks with the right watering, feeding and potting. During July and August light shading protects plants from scorch, where harsh light shines through glass.

Tesco luxury brand of cat litter instead of grit. Do not water in until two weeks afterwards, as broken roots may rot.

Plants wake up in March and are in active growth from May to August, when they need regular watering and feeding with a cactus fertilizer.

Top dress with grit or small pebbles to stop moss and algae from growing and help prevent rotting.

The dormant season starts in October for most plants and in a cool, frost-free place many will not require any water until March. Spring is a good time to pot on your cactus. A good compost is 50:50 John Innes no 2 and Cornish grit, coarse sand or perlite. Many growers use the

Gather flowers for cutting in the early morning while stems are full of water. Water the plants first if necessary. Steep cut stems in deep water for an hour or two before arranging in a vase.

Start a new strawberry bed for free by rooting runners from healthy established plants, Peg them down into pots of compost set in the ground. Once settled, they are cut away from the parent and planted out. Strawberry plants deteriorate after about three years and need to be replaced. 19

MODERN MANORS

Travel trouble Kishanda Fulford has a not-so easy experience in Spain

t short notice I left for Barcelona with my daughter, who had dreams of living in a city that she had not actually been to. Nor had I. We arrived at Bristol Airport and I soon realised I had not printed off my Easy-peasy Jet boarding pass. This is such a nuisance if you are, as we were, travelling with just carry-on luggage. I looked at the check-in queue, in which I would have to stand, in order to get one printed off. It was practically snaking out of the terminal door. I asked the super-fast boarding lady if I could join her super-fast queue but she said no. The main queue was moving at a step forward about every 30 seconds. Suddenly, she changed her mind and swept me in to the fast run queue. What power these women have. Having opened our suitcases to rummage around finding all liquids, we went through security. We relaxed in the boarding area and went to browse in the accessories shop. I brought a hair clip and my daughter brought a pair of earrings. To our surprise my name was called out on the tannoy. I had left my bank card in the machine at the accessories shop. There then ensued a conversation with my daughter in which she said she would have to take charge as I was obviously not capable of travelling. She then left her telephone on the aeroplane. We arrived at our rented flat, dumped our suitcases, and went to leave. Just as the door was an inch away from slamming shut, I put my foot out. I surely had to teach my daughter a lesson about keys. Never, I said, leave a flat without checking that the keys actually work. I tried them in the lock and realised I had walked out with the keys to my son’s flat, which look exactly the same as

[

the ones to the Spanish flat. Again, my daughter and I had another discussion in which I was told she would be in charge of keys from then on. Off we went in to the sparkling city. We were incapable of reading the map. Sometimes I was in charge of the map and when that went wrong my daughter would take the map and hold it up and turn it round and round to see if we could work

[

I had not printed off my boarding pass...then I left my bank card in the accessories shop out where we were. The arrival of my daughter’s boyfriend mercifully brought all disagreements to an end as he had an app on his telephone. A few days later it was time to leave. We went to the market, where the grapes are the size of bantam eggs, the cherries nearly the same size, and melons which are so sweet you could smell them from a hundred yards. The peaches were the best I have ever eaten. In order for the rest of my family to taste such delights I worked out that if I carefully packed I could arrive in England with a fruit salad. We set off to the airport where we found I was in the wrong terminal. My daughter and her boyfriend were flying back to London which is from Terminal One. Easy-peasy flies from Terminal

Two. Fortunately there is a bus that runs between the two and I set off by myself. The bus drops you outside Terminal Two but for some reason the bus does not then continue for the next half a mile or so to Easy-peasy’s departure lounges. After a long walk I relaxed waiting to board the aeroplane. This did not last long. I was told that I would have to put my handbag in my suitcase as the rules are, ‘only one bag’. A disaster. How could I put my handbag in my suitcase? There was absolutely no room in the suitcase whatsoever. The peaches, the cherries, the small slice of manchego cheese, and the melon would be ruined if I did. I decanted the contents of my handbag into my duty-free bag, which you are allowed to have, and put the relatively empty handbag in to my suitcase and then sat on it in order to shut it. Is my daughter going to move to Spain? If she does, she is going to have to go on an orienteering course, learn Spanish, (the best we could do was ‘hello’ and ‘please could we have the bill’) and learn not to mislay her telephone. So would this put her off the idea? Definitely not. But the great fat cockroach that crawled out of her shoe as she put it on the morning we left the flat just might. And so too would the thought of travelling anywhere with her mother. Kishanda Fulford lives in Great Fulford, Dunsford, Devon. The house dates back to Norman times and has been continuously occupied by the Fulford family for more than 800 years.

Kizomba is an Afro-Latin partner dance that’s slow and expressive, with a strong tango influence. When I finally plucked up the courage to attend, I was instantly hooked and completely fell in love

with the music, movement and rhythm. Instructor Nicola Christie’s enthusiasm really resonates with beginners and experienced dancers alike. At Kizomba I socialise, exercise and learn all at the same time and anyone giving it a go will receive the same warm welcome I did. I’ve definitely noticed an improvement in my core strength, helping an old back and hip injury. “

It’s regatta season in the Westcountry. Get on your red, white and blue for a look that’s bright and breezy on land and at sea ashion can be tricky at this time of year. The weather’s not yet autumnal, but the shops are most definitely looking towards the winter collections. Three cheers, then, for the nautical look. It’s such a fashion classic that it’s always in style and its crisp, fresh looks never seem to date. You can find pieces pretty much year-round, too, thanks to nautical’s strong showing in winter cruisewear lines. Here in the South West, we have more than our fair share of the world’s best sailing waters. Small wonder, then, that the sailor stripe is popular here, and not necessarily always in traditional navy blue. You can take nautical style from summer into autumn with ease, just by adding a Breton sweater or light jacket. It’s a great look for smart work days without looking too serious, and nothing’s better for a relaxed but flattering weekend outfit than a dash of seafaring swagger. You don’t even have to set foot on a boat in your entire life…

EATING OUT

The Jack in the Green By Becky Sheaves

recently ate in Marco Pierre White’s swish new restaurant in the new Hilton hotel at Exeter Airport. I soon reached the conclusion that, perfectly acceptable though the food there was, no one who had any sense at all would eat there when The Jack in the Green was less than a mile away. Doing it all (and more) so much better. What is it that makes this roadside pub/restaurant so special? It’s nothing much to look at from the outside, and nice enough in a relaxed sort of way indoors. But what really sets this place apart is the quality of the food, combined with friendly, expert and welcoming service. If you need cheering up, let me suggest a meal out at The Jack. It’s pretty much a fail-safe cure for the blues. It was a Wednesday night and John and I had nothing special to celebrate. But we ended up pushing the boat out in a big way, with the five course tasting menu (£39.50) and a flight of different wines to accompany each course (£27.50). We were greeted by the owner himself, Paul

3 The Budock Vean Hotel, Mawnan Smith For our main course, I had local lamb shoulder in anchovy gravy, with asparagus, fresh peas and broad beans. All cooked to perfection and the perfect summer dish. John had a fabulous Westcountry beef fillet – just about as good as it gets – with bone marrow and braised oxtail, (£24.50). Bone marrow? What’s does that taste like, I wondered – well, since you ask, it’s meaty, crispy and delicious. At least it is when cooked at The Jack in the Green. John had some fabulous burgundy and I had a spicy glass of Valpolicella to accompany our main course. Our cheeseboard came with made-in-the-Westcountry choices such as Cornish Blue, Sharpham Cremet and Quickes Cheddar, with quince cheese, grapes and some wild garlic Yarg up from Cornwall. Then to finish, John had white chocolate parfait, toasted oats, raspberries and whisky cream (£7.25) while I tucked into lemon mousse with meringues and poached rhubarb (£6.50). Often in restaurants, the puddings are just an afterthought. Not so here - each was a work of art and completely delightful. To sum up, this is a gem of restaurant, and we are very lucky to have it here in the South

West. I would be surprised (and very pleased) if I get to eat another meal as good as this one in the next twelve months. Unless I go back to the The Jack again, of course. Which is a distinct possibility. The Jack in the Green, Rockbeare EX5 2EE 01404 822240 www.jackinthegreen.uk.com

We are increasingly careful about ethically sourcing our food - and what could be closer to home than the back garden? Chickens make lively and interesting pets, fun for the whole family. Even their waste is full of nutrients for the flower bed or the compost heap. Though owning any animal is a responsibility, keeping chickens doesn’t have to be a chore, and day-to-day care is relatively easy.

5. Food glorious food Chickens love table scraps and will eat almost anything you give them, but a well-balanced chicken feed and liquid tonic in their diet will ensure they get the nutrients they need.

6. Watch out for mites Learn to recognise telltale signs of mites, such as a decrease in egg production or tail pecking. A natural, nontoxic powder or spray will address the problem.

Different breeds suit different owners. The poultry tent at your local country show is a great way to gather information about the right one for you.

7. Hydration is key

2. Save your garden

8. Wakey wakey

Chickens love to roam, but if you want to save your lawn from pecking and scratching, consider an enclosure. This will reduce damage and ensure your birds are safe.

Aim to let your chickens out in the mornings soon after sunrise for a healthy daily routine.

Always supply your birds with fresh clean water, especially in hot weather.

9. Handle with care

3. Protect against the elements

Get your birds used to being handled so that they are easy to catch if you need to hold them.

Your birds must be able to find shelter from heavy wind and rain, as well as hot sun.

10. Go with the seasons

4. Keep ‘em clean Clean your chicken house regularly for good hy-

Be aware of natural seasonal changes. Don’t panic when your birds start losing their feathers in September or lay fewer eggs during January.

My Secret Westcountry Tom Hazzledine Tom, 30, is the founder of Baker Tom’s Bread, a specialty bakery and café in Redruth, Cornwall. He lives in Devoran with his partner Jen Eveleigh and their baby son, Freddy Baker Tom has branches in Truro, Redruth, Wadebridge, and Falmouth

Pub: The Old Quay Inn at Devoran is a nice local pub with really good food. The landlord is very friendly. I also like Samphire restaurant in Falmouth. Beach: Loe beach just outside Truro is where I like to go. It’s a pebble beach, but it’s very quiet and beautiful. You can watch the boats moving around the Carrick Roads, and the ferries going from Falmouth to Truro. It’s very peaceful. Event: It would have to be the Tall Ships or a regatta – anything to do with sailing. I have an Enterprise and have just built a little clinker style dinghy – that’s been my project in the shed when I needed to get away from

everything. I love to sail, but I don’t race or anything – I go out to the Carrick Roads and crash into a few trees and boats, and generally get into mischief.

Shop: I could spend my life mooching around any good chandlers, but I also like Cornish

clothing company Seasalt. I think they have nice clothes and I really admire their business ethics – they use organic cotton and are very involved in the supply chain. They also have good window displays.

Walk: We like to go to Trelissick. We take the pram for a stroll around the gardens and then have a cup of tea. It’s very beautiful there. Picnic: I’d take lemon chicken baguettes from our café, and also some egg mayonnaise sandwiches. To drink, a Luscombe cranberry crush, which is very refreshing. I’d also bring saffron buns and butter, and buy an ice cream when we’re out.

Brothers in Arms: The Pals Army of World War One (ITV 10.15pm)

“We were raw country lads, never seen nowt. Aye, that was how we felt. It wasn’t damn long before we were learning, I’ll tell you,” says George Littlefair in this new documentary, which tells the story of the young British men who signed up and fought on the Western Front in the First World War. On the eve of the centenary of the start of the Great War, this brings alive the stories of life in the trenches through rare archive footage and interviews with veterans who fought at the Somme, facing the German artillery, mustard gas and trench foot in horrendous conditions. Drawn from cities, towns, villages, factories and farms, this civilian army was different from those before or since, and this programme features the vivid and detailed recollections of those who joined up. 33

Supermarkets: The Real Price of Cheap Food - Dispatches (Channel 4, 8pm)

It’s crisis time at Britain’s big supermarkets. Under pressure from the internet, the recession and cheap competitors like Lidl and Aldi, the supermarkets are desperate to woo customers back with special offers and price reductions. But who is really paying the price? Channel 4 Dispatches investigates the supermarket supply chain and looks at some of the working lives of those at the very bottom: the people who pick, pack and manufacture our food. With undercover filming, Morland Sanders (pictured) lifts the lid on key supermarket suppliers. From field to factory, Dispatches examines hygiene, health and safety and the reality of life on minimum-wage, minimum-security, ultra-flexible contracts.

Undercover Boss (Channel 4, 9pm)

In this series, high-flying executives take extraordinary steps to ensure their companies are fighting fit by going undercover in their own businesses. This week is the turn of Rowlands Pharmacy. With government funding down and competition increasing, this chain has seen its turnover drop by £20 million. In a bid to win new customers, managing director Kenny Black wants his 510 dispensaries to offer free health advice and excellent customer service. But when Kenny goes undercover, there’s a bitter pill to swallow: he discovers life-saving medicines out of stock and staff over-worked and underappreciated. When a dedicated delivery driver is moved to tears by the job, Kenny’s forced to consider if he has more to worry about than the bottom line.

It’s every parent’s worst fear - but what’s it really like to be a child in hospital? ITV has given cameras to over 100 children at Newcastle’s Great North Children Hospital, as they face everything from everyday injuries to life-threatening illnesses. The results are raw, poignant, often funny - and always surprising. This week, Isaac’s been stuck in hospital - and banned from eating for 41 days. He’s had a huge eczema flare up triggered allergies - and he’d give anything for a bacon roll! For twelve year old Tyrone (pictured), life in hospital is becoming “normaler and normaler”. This time, he’s been in for two weeks after a massive asthma attack. Tune in for these and more compelling stories. 41

A Touch of Cloth (Sky 1, 9pm )

Things get personal, like dead-friendsand-family personal, in Charlie Brooker’s gloriously daft comedy. It took DCI Jack Cloth (John Hannah) a while to come to terms with his wife’s murder - he barely remembers her name these days - and now he’s hit with the news that his brother, Terry (a bearded, bewigged Hannah), has been killed. The pair weren’t close - in fact, they were estranged - but, you know, it still hurts. At least the troubled detective can count on his formidable backup team to help apprehend the mystery killer, including number two DI Anne Oldman (Suranne Jones). Unfortunately Oldman, nursing a Cloth-inflicted broken heart, has suddenly developed a savage drinking problem.

My life man and boy

Cycle of life Phil Goodwin, father of James, four, is aiming for the Tour de France...eventually ast your mind back to those old comic film clips where a cigarchomping trainer cycles down the road, towing a puffing boxer behind, a rope tied around his midriff. Now reverse the roles, lose the tow rope and you have basically got me and the lad at the moment. It’s all part of our new training regime. Of course, I wouldn’t dream of introducing him to the world of pugilism. He’s only four, and punches hard enough already, thanks very much. No, this is all about the long road to Paris, the maillot jaune and victory on the ChampsÉlysées in, say 2024. Yes, I am talking the Tour de France. And in this case I am the coach, puffing hard without a cigar and hanging on to his seat as we lap the streets of Exeter. I need to explain. Readers who picked up the very first copy of West back in June, may recall my frustrated attempts to recruit young James to the football-supporting ranks and share in my boyhood love of Liverpool FC. Sadly, the World Cup has done little to boost his lack of enthusiasm for the ‘beautiful game’. In a damning indictment of the penalty box theatrics of modern football, he seems to think the object of the game is simply to fall over in a comic fashion. Even I have to admit: when you watch one or two players these days you do wonder if perhaps he is not that wide of the mark. Of course, like most sport-mad blokes, I refuse to be limited in my affections. I am also a road cyclist and cycling fan. Or bore, as friends and family will say. Given the crowds in Yorkshire this year following the recent swashbuckling exploits of Mark Cavendish and Sir Bradley Wiggins, there are more of us about than

you might think. I won’t deny it. I do get excited when the main bunch of riders - the peloton snakes and winds its way to the Alpine peaks and Pyrenean summits.

The guiding hand on his bike is now banished. “Let me go, Daddy,” he barked at me the other day

I haven’t forced the boy to watch it, but he is a keen rider himself and has been taking an interest. It’s a race, right? He gets it. So, I told him how the leader rides in yellow, all about the different jerseys and how tough these guys are. Just casually, you know. Sowing the seed. A few days later, half way through the Tour, my wife comes back from dropping him off at pre-school one morning and tells me James had confessed his new-found ambition. “He just told me wants to ride a bike, like they do on the television,” she confided, clutching his helmet, which is emblazoned with racing cars. “Please, anything but football,” she is thinking. “No problem,” I said. “I don’t think they start until about eight years old, though.” Now, I am by no means what you might call a pushy dad. And I don’t seriously expect the kid to make it in sport. But ability alone means nothing without backing. Ask any successful footballer’s dad how many miles he has driven up and down the country to trial matches. So off we go for our usual ride, still with the stabilisers on the back, but now with a fresh purpose. The guiding hand I once used to help push him up hills is now banished. “Let me go, Daddy,” he barked at me the other day, as we climbed the steep incline from the front door to the main road. And let me tell you, on the flat, this boy has really got some power. Ringing his bell, he speeds up quickly around Exeter city’s flat and bike-friendly centre and I am forced to pick up the pace. By the time we are half way down the High Street, I break into a jog. As we navigate the low tunnel and emerge into the cobbles of Cathedral Green, I am running full pelt and still losing touch. Allez Allez! Paris here we come!
