with a high quality Cava – which she considers a worthy challenger to Grand Cru Champagne (p29). Can it be? I sometimes find it takes two glasses of bubbles to come to a conclusion, so pour away.

To balance it all out, pop on your hiking boots and splash through a river on Exmoor with the intrepid Martin Hesp (page 32), or head up to Woodbury Common to watch the sun set (page 30).

There really is nothing like fresh air for hitting the reset button on our busy lives, so make sure you get a double helping of that too.

There’s no better place for it.

“You can end up at the top of the tree and be on your own. I don’t think that’s worth it. They have to ask themselves every day, from when they get up to when they go to bed, did they do any harm? Have you been rude, have you done something you’re not proud of?

A new Dawn Dawn French is looking so supergorgeous these days it’s hard to believe she is 60 years old.

Despite once joking: “There are two types of women... those who like chocolates and complete b***s”, the 4 ft 11 star has lost around seven and a half stone in the past two years.

Most recently, Dawn’s fans have been impressed by a picture she shared on Twitter, sporting a flowing top from the plus-size clothing brand Sixteen47, which she runs with her friend Helen Teague.

Head over heels Diving star TOM DALEY and his new husband Lance Black are enjoying married life in their flat in London. Tom and Lance got married this spring at Bovey Castle on Dartmoor, but now live in a converted hops warehouse in the capital.

Tom, who grew up in Plymouth, has decorated the apartment with the theme “Team GB”, including a Union Jack upholstered chesterfield sofa.

They also have a special made-to-measure dining table. On its side, tucked away, is engraved the date they first met: April 22 2013. All together: aah!

INTERVIEW

Hungry yet?

AWARD-WINNING FOOD PHOTOGRAPHER DAVID GRIFFEN EXPLAINS WHY MOVING TO CORNWALL WAS THE BEST CAREER CHOICE HE EVER MADE

“I

moved here for love. I followed my soonto-be wife from Australia,” explains food photographer David Griffen.

“That meant I arrived in Cornwall knowing no one and with a vague idea of being a fashion photographer, which is what I was doing back home in Melbourne.

“I soon realised that there were about two fashion shoots a year taking place in Cornwall back then, so I took some advice and spotted a gap in the market for food photography.”

Thirteen years and a lot of hard work later, David is now one of the country’s most acclaimed food photographers, with numerous cookbooks to his name and the proud winner of the internationally respected Pink Lady award.

He lives with his wife Maria and their sons Charlie, nine, and Jack, seven, in Washaway near Wadebridge on the north coast of Cornwall and has found that life in the far south west of the UK has been good, both professionally and personally.

“Although it is a long way for national clients to travel, we can make a real event of their visits,” he explains.

“I recently did a large project with Sony, filming slow-motion shots of food preparation in my studio. While they were down, we also ate out at Rick Stein’s in Padstow, got a chance

to explore the beautiful coast and countryside and they all agreed it was a wonderful trip for them and so much more special than a visit to a studio in London or Manchester.

“For my part, I get to live in a beautiful part of the world, with fantastic chefs and food producers to work with. The kids have a lovely country childhood which is what Maria and I were determined to offer them. We really enjoy our family life here. Maria works as a teacher and also works with me in the business, especially on our blog, which won the UK Blog Awards last year.”

It was hard work to start with though, as David freely admits. “At first, I spent a couple of years driving around persuading chefs and food businesses that they really did need professional, high-quality pictures of their food. I worked long hours for very low fees, but eventually I began to get a name for myself.”

One of the projects that helped his business to grow was The New West Country Cook Book, in which

INTERVIEW

David’s image of a street chef in Kuala Lumpur earned him a prestigous Pink Lady Award

David’s beautiful pictures matched up with recipes from top South West chefs such as Nathan Outlaw, Mitch Tonks and Michael Caines. “I just drove around, got the pictures and the recipes and brought the book out myself,” says David. “It really helped to get me noticed.”

Since then he has signed up for an annual publication of recipes and food photography with the regional food group Taste of the West. They produce A Taste of The West Country cook book every year, with top chefs and food producers, each of whom has won a prestigious Taste of the West award in that year’s competition. “It’s a lovely project for me because I get to photograph not only in restaurants but also on farms,” says David.

And David’s work now takes him beyond the Westcountry and all over the world. “I’m often up to London, but I don’t begrudge the travelling at all,” he says. “If I can I love to hop on the sleeper train at Bodmin Parkway and wake up in

Paddington. For me, it’s the perfect way to travel.”

It was adventuring overseas that led David to scoop one of the world’s top photography prizes in 2015, the Pink Lady Food Photographer of the Year award.

“I’d entered several times and not won, so in the end I looked carefully at previous winners to see what they were looking for and decided to treat it like a job and travel specially to find the right shot. We had gone to Australia for a holiday and I decided to spend a week in Asia on my way home shooting solely for this competition.

“I knew I could get some colourful images there. After doing some research, I found a street called Jalan Alor in Kuala Lumpur: a street food mecca. I knew there would be plenty of great subject matter.

“I went to Jalan Alor three nights running and there was a great vibe. I spotted the chicken-smoking guy at the end of the road just when I was about to pack my gear away. He had

FOR MY PART, I GET TO LIVE IN A BEAUTIFUL PART OF THE WORLD, WITH FANTASTIC CHEFS AND FOOD PRODUCERS TO WORK WITH

his tunes on, and was really going for it as he cooked the chicken wings.

Each time I went back, it got better. I could see he was a real character. For me, the people who produce food and cook it are a big part of the story.”

Work has since led David to produce a whole cookbook based in Malaysia and this September will see a new adventure for the Griffen family: “We are taking the kids out of school for a year and will be travelling around Australia. I’m going to shoot an Australian cook book and it will be a chance for them to get to know my

10

home country – and the place where Maria and I met back during the Sydney Olympics in 2000.

“We are really excited about it, it’s just the right time for them in terms of schools to take off for a year and see a different way of life. We are heading back to Oz to rediscover our heritage and unearth current food trends over there.

“We’ll be returning home to Cornwall, though, of course – this is home for us now.” www.davidgriffen.co.uk @davidgriffen

VOICES

Proceed with caution BECKY SHEAVES WANTS YOU TO HAVE A SAFE SUMMER HOLIDAY

I

f by any chance you are what some of us down in the South West rather unkindly call JDFL – Just Down From London – and have picked up this publication to see what’s going on in the Westcountry while you’re here, then please do read on. I’m writing this with you in mind, not just us locals. And not out of any desire to make you feel silly, or unwelcome, or patronised, either.

I promise.

I was on Sidmouth beach the other afternoon, and my friend murmured to me: “They really don’t want to know, do they?” and gestured to the other end of the beach where a group of people were sitting at the base of the cliff.

Now, these folk had found a nice, empty space of sand to sunbathe and relax upon because that entire end of the beach, past the slipway, is barred to the public. It is marked with strongly-worded signs, advising people that there is “No Entry” and that they should “Beware Unstable Cliffs”. In fact, back in 2016, East

so beautiful and peaceful-looking at this time of year, it is hard for city dwellers to imagine any danger here at all. I do understand that, compared to metropolitan life, the South West really does look like one big, harmless playground. But just because you can’t spot racing traffic or hoodies cycling slowly by, that doesn’t mean you can stroll around without an ounce of common sense, as though you were at Disneyland.

We had some visitors at our farm the other day (we run a small glamping site) who were a lovely couple and desperate for their kids to spend time off their screens, running around on an old-fashioned childhood holiday. But when I told them we were haymaking one morning and asked them to make sure their kids were safely out of the way, they

Devon District Council put up newer, more strident, signs there complete with scary photographs of real cliff falls, to frighten people off.

Indeed, you may even have seen a story in February this year which made the national news – a shed fell down the cliff here when a huge chunk of someone’s garden collapsed. There are, apparently, £6 million worth of houses on Cliff Road in Sidmouth which are expected to disappear into the sea in the next 20 years. In a very Sidmouth detail, the shocked home owner remarked that his “gardener had nearly fallen down too”, which made me chuckle.

I myself was at Sidmouth beach with the kids earlier this summer when my son William (12) said: “Look!” He had spotted another huge cliff fall – I looked round just in time to see an enormous cloud of dust swell and rise to the top of the cliff. Impressive, but terrifying.

So it really is dangerous. Don’t sit there, that is total madness.

The trouble is, the Westcountry is

looked at me as though I was being a killjoy. Haymaking sounded lovely, something their children should have a go at, possibly, aged seven and five.

No, not really. Not in today’s modern countryside. “Please,” I said. “The contractor is busy, in a huge, noisy machine, with blind spots. He’s probably working a 100hour week right now.

Just keep the kids right by your side until he has gone.”

It’s the same with the sea. Some folk go rushing in for a swim without thinking about whether lifeguards are on duty or taking notice of signs about rip currents. They set sail on a lilo, or hop into a speedboat they don’t know how to control. I guess what I’m saying is, let’s all enjoy the holidays, but be careful while we’re having fun.

THE WESTCOUNTRY IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND PEACEFUL-LOOKING AT THIS TIME OF YEAR, IT IS HARD FOR CITY DWELLERS TO IMAGINE ANY DANGER HERE AT ALL

Style Q&A with Tamsin

Our Falmouth style guru can help you fulfil your fashion potential in every possible way. All you have to do is ask...

Q In terms of clothing, what colours do you think particularly suit blondes?

CA, Combe Martin Whether you’re blonde, brunette or a fiery redhead, wearing the right colour, or the right shade, has the power to give your look an instant boost. I think blondes look best in: 1. Metallics Whether a molten gold or a glittering silver, a little shimmer goes a long way if you’re fair-haired.

2. Cobalt A lot of blondes also have blue eyes so wearing cobalt will really make them pop.

3. Nude pink Pale colours often have the tendency to wash the flaxenhaired out, but nude pink has just enough warmth to make you glow.

4. Navy Not quite as harsh as black, navy is a great alternative for the office.

Sequin wrap front dress - £45 Very

I suffer from rosacea and was wondering if you could recommend any products that might help?

AP, Redruth According to the team at Dermalex, “rosacea is an inflammatory skin condition that occurs in different stages of severity. In the first stage, also called couperose, the skin around the nose and on the cheeks becomes red and spider veins appear.

In more advanced stages rosacea can lead to thickened skin.” Although there is no cure for rosacea, it can be successfully managed.

1. Dermalex Rosacea Cream: This steroid-free cream helps reduce the typical symptoms of rosacea by promoting the restoration of the skin’s barrier function. It also protects from UV rays, which often trigger rosacea symptoms. It

Q

Are kitten heels making a comeback, and if so, how do you wear them this time around?

CN, Polzeath Yes, it’s true! One of the most controversial shoes of all time, has made a triumphant return. Once deemed unflattering, this season the kitten heel has become incredibly practical and oh-so stylish.

1. Keep it simple: You always want these shoes make a statement, so let them do the talking by keeping the rest of your outfit as minimal as possible.

2. Think about your hemlines: Kitten heels should be worn with trousers (full length or cropped), jeans, and knee-length or mid-length skirts. You need to avoid anything too short to keep them looking modern and flattering.

A LOT OF BLONDES ALSO HAVE BLUE EYES SO WEARING COBALT WILL REALLY MAKE THEM POP

BEAUTY

A close shave We quiz the experts about the three most common razor-free fuzz-fighting options.

D

reaming of a holiday where you don’t have to worry about shin stubble and bikini-line maintenance, but still wedded to razors and foam? Well, there is another way.

Several, in fact, and none of which involve excruciating – and expensive – trips to the salon.

From simple wax strips to high-tech

gadgets, DIY hair removal has come on leaps and bounds in recent years, meaning there’s a method for every budget (and pain threshold), and you can forget about razors when you jet off on hols.

But which is the one for you? We asked the experts for their advice to help you find your ideal at-home hair-removal solution...

test 24 hours before.”

Try it at home with Veet Stripless Wax, £15, Tesco

Can anyone do it? “In general, everyone can do at-home waxing,” says Veet’s beauty expert Nichola Joss. “However, if you are prone to being very sensitive or have an existing skin condition, it’s best to seek out professional advice for the best type of waxing or hair removal.”

Which is better for beginners – wax strips or hot wax? “I think it’s more personal preference, but I find both are appropriate for beginners. Both are easy to use, effective and results driven, compared to shaving, epilating or laser – all of which can be aggressive and damaging to skin.”

How long does it last? “With waxing, you can have smooth, hair-free skin for up to six weeks, depending on the coarseness and density of your hair.”

Does it hurt? “It can be slightly uncomfortable, depending on the area of the body you are treating. The best way to minimise pain would be to completely prep the skin by cleansing, exfoliating and moisturising beforehand.”

Is it expensive? “Waxing is far more costeffective and time-efficient to do at home than in the salon, and you are also far more in control of your treatment.”

Any other tips for beginners?

“Make sure you have all your tools and products to hand.

Read through the instructions completely and allocate enough time. And always remember to carry out a patch-

Any other tips for beginners?

“Exfoliate first, to lift hairs that may be hiding under dry skin, avoiding the risk of ingrown hairs and ensuring every hair is captured.

And don’t apply products straight after – avoid the feel of irritation by allowing the pores to close for a time after hair removal.”

2. EPILATION What is it? Epilation devices feature a rotating head that catches and plucks hairs out one by one.

Can anyone do it?

“Women with all skin types can use epilation as their method of hair removal,” says GP and skin expert Dr Anita Sturnham. “But people with more sensitive skin may prefer to epilate as there are a number of ways to ease the initial pain some may experience, which cannot be replicated when waxing.”

Does it hurt? “Epilating allows you to reach all areas of the skin easily with the stretch of one arm, so the other hand can be used to hold skin taut to ease the pain some experience as they first start to epilate. Some epilators can also be used in the bath or shower, which softens the hairs and desensitises the skin for a gentler epilation experience.”

Why is it better than waxing?

“Waxing requires approximately 2mm of hair regrowth, which is inconvenient and can lead to women wanting to cover up during this awkward in-between stage.

The Braun range captures hairs as short as a grain of sand (0.5mm).”

Is it expensive? “While the purchase of an epilator is an initial expense, this should be seen as an investment purchase to last for countless hair-removal treatments.

A recent survey by Braun found that by conducting hair-removal treatments at home, women in the UK can save on average £567 per year.”

3. IPL What is IPL? IPL stands for intense pulsed light. In terms of hair removal, a flash of light is absorbed by the pigment in a hair, which then “zaps” the growing cells beneath it.

Can anyone do it? “We don’t recommend it for very dark skin, or very light body hair,” says Leah Richards, director of clinical affairs at SmoothSkin. “This is because very dark skin has a considerable amount of pigment and will absorb more light than the skin can handle, therefore it can potentially burn, discolour or scar your skin. Very light body hair is the opposite, as in this instance, there isn’t enough pigment in the hair shaft, which IPL heavily relies on. We don’t recommend that you use IPL over your tattoos, as it can burn and blister the skin due to the colour of the ink.”

How long does it last? “As with all home-use IPL treatments, one treatment won’t last forever. You will need to keep treating the hairs every once in a while to avoid hair growth starting up again. We recommend to treat the area once a week until you start seeing the desired results, and then top up treatments when

19

and if you need them.”

Does it hurt? “IPL doesn’t hurt. Granted, you’ll feel a slight sensation, perhaps a tingling feeling, but it won’t be painful.

However, the sensation varies from person to person.

The feeling might be a little more intense for those who have coarse, dark hair, but it’ll feel like a gentle flick of an elastic band.”

Is it expensive? “At first thought, IPL might seem like an expensive way to de-fuzz, but we’ve done the maths, and over time you can make a huge saving compared to other more conventional (and more painful!) hair-removal methods. The average razor blade lasts just a month – if you include shaves, blades and foam, you could soon be spending around £8 per month. For a one-off payment of just £199, SmoothSkin Bare offers unlimited flashes so it will last a lifetime.”

Any other tips for beginners?

“Always do a quick patch-test before getting started on your treatment. This will help you get used to the sensation of IPL, as well as finding out if you have the right skin tone ahead of using.”

GARDENING

BRIGHT ideas to keep summer colour going strong

1

T

he end of summer can mark the start of wilted annuals and faded perennials, but if you add some beautiful, bold late-flowering additions, you can make your garden a riot of colour until autumn.

It’s easy to prolong the season with dahlias, heleniums, rudbeckias and a host of other bright blooms that will fit into many planting schemes and situations.

1. RUDBECKIAS These are bushy plants that create masses of bold, zingy yellow flowers.

Also known as black-eyed Susans because of their distinctive big black cone in the centre, they have a long flowering period between July and October.

They are drought-resistant, not too fussy about soil type, and can grow over three feet tall, with a flower diameter of two to three inches.

2. HYDRANGEA Flaunting an old-fashioned charm in a variety of colours – blues, vibrant pinks and frosty whites – hydrangeas grow up to six feet high and wide, so they’re great for creating a “sea of flowers” effect.

You can get different varieties, including lacecap, mophead or oak-

Keep your garden looking colourful for longer, says Natalie Bradshaw leaf hydrangeas. Consider placing in front of taller plants like small or medium-size trees that could offer the shade the shrubs prefer.

But beware – too much shade can reduce their flowering.

2

3. CROCOSMIA These bright flowers are maintenance-free and easy to grow, so they’ll add an easy shot of colour to your garden. Their bold, sword-like flowers mainly come in reds, oranges and yellows.

Depending on the variety, crocosmia can grow up to a metre tall, and they don’t need pruning, just remove the dead leaves and flower stems before spring, when new growth starts.

3

4. SEDUM SPECTABILE These pink late-summer flowers will save your garden from getting the blues well into autumn. Plant in a sunny position in your garden and pair with Japanese anemones, phlox or penstemons.

These require little care, just check your plants regularly to make sure they’re not too dry.

4

22

5. DAHLIA Flowering from mid-summer until the first frosts (which can be around mid-October, depending where you live), these popular blooms come in bronze, dark red, lavender, orange and pink, and are all different shapes and sizes.

They make great standalones in their own beds or paired with grasses and verbena plants. They need a well-worked soil with good drainage and, once they’re established, be sure to water them three or four times a week.

6. HELENIUM These vibrant, daisy-shaped orange flowers bloom in late summer and autumn. Brilliant on their own or pair with tall, purple salvias, for a nice contrast. Grow in fertile, moist, but well-drained soil and deadhead regularly to ensure they flower for longer.

7. ASTER X FRIKARTII ‘MONCH’ For a splash of purple, then try Aster x frikartii ‘Monch’, a purple, daisy-like flower with a yellow centre.

These bushy herbaceous perennials can grow up to 90cm and like an open, sunny position. Cut back in late autumn and pair with a tall, pink penstemon.

garden advice: how to use less water T here’s been no sign yet this summer of a hosepipe ban (which is hardly a surprise after all the rain we’ve had recently), but we should all be thinking about ways to use less water – particularly the greenfingered among us, who have gardens to look after.

Here’s how you can cut down on the amount of fresh water you use this summer...

Avoid using sprinklers if you want to save water

JOBS FOR THEWEEK

1. WATER AT CERTAIN TIMES OF THE DAY Water at specific times – early morning or dusk – to reduce evaporation.

Don’t water in the heat of the day.

Use water butts, put pots under hanging baskets so the overspill also waters plants below and leave clippings on the lawn after mowing to retain moisture.

2. AVOID SPRINKLERS A sprinkler can use up to 1,000 litres of drinking water, or 220 gallons, in an hour.

There are so many products on the market now to help us save water that there’s really no excuse not to, from controlled irrigation systems where sensors monitor the moisture in the soil and only water your plants when the soil really needs it, to bath water diverters which send all your “grey” water to your water butt.

3. BUY THE RIGHT PLANT FOR YOU Some plants need more water than others, so if you’re planning a waterwise summer, make sure you’ve got the right plants for your garden.

Avoid tropical flowers and aim to buy plants from your local area.

4. RECYCLE YOUR WATER Try to recycle water as a matter of course. Use a plastic bowl for washing up and then deposit the water on to your plants, as a small amount of washing up liquid isn’t going to hurt them.

Use washing-up water on plants

lawn may turn a bit brown, but it will recover with the autumn rains.

Leave grass to grow a bit longer to preserve water and introduce drought-tolerant clovers, which will prevent the lawn from changing colour completely when a dry spell hits.

5. USE THE RAIN TO WATER YOUR PLANTS Up to 85,000 litres of rain falls on your roof each year, so install a water butt and use it to water your plants and wash your car.

6. CHOOSE YOUR PLANT PLACEMENT WISELY Some more thirsty specimens in pots may benefit from being placed on a tray lined with capillary matting, which soaks up the water and then delivers the moisture to the roots, gradually when it’s needed.

8. MULCH! Add a thick layer of mulch around your plants. That could be anything that will cover the soil sufficiently to prevent it from getting too hot.

Leaves and bark work well and they break down towards winter. Other things could be pebbles, needles, straw, fruit pips or even newspaper.

7. DON’T WATER ESTABLISHED LAWNS If we have a long, hot spell, your

 Pinch out the growing tips of wallflowers for bushy plants  Order spring-flowering bulbs to plant in the autumn  Continue to deadhead regularly to encourage more flowers and water containers every day  Apply a high potash liquid feed to dahlias, water regularly and tie in new growth to stakes Sow Brompton stocks now for flowering under glass  Stop outdoor tomatoes when they have set four trusses.

Leave at least two leaves above the top truss to draw sap  Propagate floribunda and specie roses by semi-ripe cuttings taken from shoots which haven’t carried flower  Moisten dry material you add to your compost bed to speed decay and add a proprietary accelerator to help the process  Harvest crops including courgettes and beans when they are young, to encourage the plants to produce more flowers and fruits  If you’re going on holiday, group container plants together in a shady spot in the open, to make them easier for a neighbour or relative to water in your absence, and also reduce evaporation

ALLOTMENTS

David Lifton IT MIGHT BE AUGUST, BUT YOU CAN STILL SOW TO FILL THE GAPS

A

lthough I’m growing a set of squashes, broad beans and fruit, I still find plenty of gaps in between my crops. One mistake I made last year, which I’ve learnt not to repeat again this season, is to leave these gaps empty. If, like me, you’re striving to become self-sufficient or you simply want to rely less on supermarket produce, this is the time to plant those quick-growing crops.

Spinach is vastly underrated in the garden. It might not look as colourful as chard or be as attractive as kale, but this salad leaf will keep you happy throughout the bare months and keep those costs down, too.

In my largest raised bed, where I currently have broad beans, marigolds and squash growing, I’ve filled the rest with spinach. Although the seedlings are still young, soon I’ll be pinching out the odd plant for salads while the remaining leaves bulk up ready for cutting. The easiest way to harvest your spinach is to take a pair of scissors and snip the younger leaves as they appear. By leaving the older leaves, your spinach plants will stay healthy and produce over a longer period.

Growers are divided when it comes to radish. Some of us appreciate it for the great salad vegetable that it is, while others avoid it for its pungent flavour. I’ve only recently converted, but I’m glad that I have. This hearty root vegetable matures in little under a month, making it an easy plant to grow between bulky pumpkins or sprawling peas.

I’ve made one final addition to my late summer crops. At the top of my plot, where my small-space garden project is under way, which you can follow over on my blog, I’m growing heritage corn salad, or lamb’s lettuce.

This quick and easy vegetable makes for a wonderful side to any hearty late-summer meal and, by picking just a few leaves at a time, you don’t have to worry about running out of salads until the frosts settle.

This is the perfect time to make sure that your vegetable patch is tight.

Whatever plants you choose to plug your gaps, you won’t regret it when harvest time comes.

Delicious stuffed squash is perfect with those quickgrowing salad crops

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND STILTON STEP 1

STEP 2

Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 6/200C. Slice your butternut squash in half and carefully remove the thick skin. Cut the halves into quarters, take out the seeds in the middle and arrange on to a baking tray. Scatter over a little cayenne chilli pepper and olive oil before placing into the oven for 40 minutes or until soft.

Into a steamer, tip 100g of fresh broad beans and 100g of peas.

Steam for around five minutes or until the beans turn slightly soft.

Take off of the heat and, with a crushed clove of garlic, mash them together. Season and set to one side.

24

STEP 3 Remove the squash quarters

from the oven. Using a spoon, scoop your pea and bean filling into each piece of squash and then finish with a layer of delicious stilton. Bake for a further ten minutes before serving with salad.  For more recipes, gardening tips, food reviews and more visit davidlifton.co.uk.

RECIPE WITH AN ENDLESS PASSION FOR COOKING AND GOOD FOOD, GENNARO CONTALDO HAS UPDATED HIS ICONIC COOKBOOK PASSIONE WITH PICTURES OF HIS CHILDHOOD ON ITALY’S AMALFI COAST

J

amie Oliver’s “London dad” has just republished his autobiographical cookbook, Gennaro’s Passione.

“Would you like to taste some pasta?” Just two minutes after meeting Gennaro Contaldo at one of the London branches of Jamie’s Italian, he’s already being the perfect host.

As it’s lunchtime, and yes, I am quite hungry, I gratefully accept, and he quickly dispatches a waiter with instructions to ask chef Valentino for “one pasta special of the day”, adding in that famous Italian lilt: “Ees for Gennaro.”

The bubbly 68-year-old is universally loved by all the chefs he trains at Jamie’s Italian restaurants around the globe, and most of all by his protege, Jamie himself, who calls Gennaro his “London dad”. The feeling is mutual.

“Oh my God, does Jamie do more than me, he goes round and round and round. He’s always in touch. At the end of the day, we are cooks, more than anything else. We love cooking.”

It’s this passion for cooking and good food that Gennaro extols in his cookbook Passione (“kind of my biography”), named after the restaurant he ran in London in the early Noughties. First published in 2003 – “that book put me on the map” – it’s now been lovingly updated with stories and photos from Gennaro’s childhood growing up on Italy’s Amalfi Coast.

“I realised how beautiful it was when I left it. After two, maybe three years, I went back and when I reached my village [Minori], everything was ever so small and it was strange,” says the chef, who first left home to find his fortune in England as a young man of 20.

“I didn’t realise it was me that had grown up by being surrounded by London. You live in a place where the mountains are your back garden, the sea is your swimming pool, the village is your playground, then you come to London and everything – wow! Massive.

“I missed so much the sea, the smell of the herb. Sometimes, I used to have a day off and go back to the sea, maybe Southend. I always wanted to put my hands inside, I knew the sea would touch the shore of my hometown.”

In the books, he calls it a “freerange” childhood. The family had no fridge, so everything had to be fresh and they ate with the seasons. His

father, a linen merchant, brought animals home he’d been given as payment by local farmers and did most of the cooking, while his mother, who he affectionately calls “a white witch”, sent him out to collect herbs from the mountains, which sparked a lifelong love of foraging (he boasts he can find wild rocket in central London).

“Imagine, come 12 o’clock, you go home through the small alleyways and all the balconies are open and you can hear the crockery and you can smell everything and you can pinpoint...fresh pasta with beans, grilled fish, cooked meat...nothing came from far away, everything in season.”

The pasta special arrives – squidlike calamarata with a pesto of roasted red peppers, garlic and chilli (“spice prolongs life”), with buffalo ricotta – and it’s the best thing I’ve ever tasted.

“It’s kind of al dente, but it’s a little bit chewy because it’s fresh. Al dente means you chew longer, so you taste it and digest it better. You want to keep that flavour in your mouth longer, it’s like a glass of wine, it’s elegant, smooth.”

When he first arrived in London, Gennaro worked as a kitchen porter for a hospital, to get a permit, and eventually ended up at his good friend Antonio Carluccio’s Neal Street Restaurant, where he met and mentored Jamie Oliver, before branching out on his own and opening Passione.

He left the restaurant three years before it closed in 2009, a victim of the recession, to collaborate with Jamie on the Jamie’s Italian chain.

“He is [like a son], he’s got exactly the same – even more – love, and cares and respects food and people, which is so important.

“I look up to him. My God, he can do it. And we film quite a lot, me and

GENNARO’S

GENIUS 26

Jamie, we film a new programme which will come out next year. We go round Italy, meet all these beautiful Nonnas [grandmothers] and try to discover these beautiful, almost lost recipes.”

He has five of his own children, two with his current partner, and three from his previous marriage, and he’s not about to hang up his apron anytime soon.

“This is what’s keeping me alive,” he says earnestly. “I have days when I think I’m too tired, but the minute I walk inside the kitchen, I feel 25.

I believe another person like me is Jamie, he’s running around...to give lots of love to the world.

“And for me to come in the restaurant, and have a picture together with a young boy who’s been waiting months to see you, you give them such love and joy and you show them how to do something, you transfer a little tiny gene to him and he will find the same love and passion.”

2. Open up each baby chicken like a butterfly and place skin-side down on a chopping board. Spread the filling evenly over the flesh side, then fold the poussin back over and secure the opening with wooden toothpicks, weaving them in and out. Season all over with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan, add the chickens, then reduce the heat slightly and cook until golden brown on all sides. Cover the pan and cook gently for about 20 minutes, until the chickens are cooked through.

3. Meanwhile, make the sauce.

Place the garlic and rosemary in a mortar and pound with a pestle.

Add the wine, vinegar, sugar and capers, and mix well.

4. Turn up the heat under the chickens, add the sauce and simmer until reduced by half, stirring all the time. Arrange on a plate and pour over the sauce.

Serve immediately, scattered with parsley.

SPAGHETTI Dinner parties are out, supper with friends is in – and you can’t go wrong with this light summer dish.

“It’s extremely simple to prepare and looks lovely and colourful,” writes Gennaro.

Just make sure you get the freshest broad beans and tomatoes, ‘cause Gennaro’s all about fresh produce...

Serves 4 300g fresh broad beans (shelled weight) 300g cherry tomatoes, quartered and deseeded 100ml extra virgin olive oil, plus a little extra to serve 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped 20 fresh basil leaves, plus a few extra to garnish 1/2 red chilli, finely chopped (optional) 300g spaghetti 100g mild goat’s cheese, diced Salt and freshly ground black pepper Method: 1. Blanch the broad beans in a large saucepan of lightly salted boiling water for one minute, drain, rinse in cold water and drain again.

Slip the skins off the broad beans and set aside.

2. Put the tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, basil, chilli (if using) and some salt and pepper in a large bowl and mix well. Then stir in the broad beans and leave to marinate while you cook the pasta.

3. Bring a large pan of lightly salted water to the boil and cook the spaghetti until al dente. Drain and add to the tomato and broad bean mixture, together with the goat’s cheese. Mix well and serve immediately, sprinkling some freshly ground black pepper, a drizzle of olive oil and a few basil leaves on top of each portion.

FIVE O’CLOCK SOMEWHERE

RECIPE

Light and cooling, lively and expressive or fruity and round, there are plenty of reasons to keep white wine flowing all summer long...

MORRISONS BEST RIOJA RESERVA BLANCO 2011, Spain (£6.50, Morrisons, in-store) Rioja usually signals a plush, dense red, but it also produces excellent whites as this International Wine Challenge Great Value Champion White 2017 proves. From the word go, it’s rich and succulent with creamy pear, baked apple and lemon flavours framed by blanched almonds and toasty vanilla. With impressive complexity and really good length, it’s a brilliant buy.

DOMAINE DES BOUTS COTES DU RHONE VILLAGES 2016, France (£9, Tesco) A notch up the scale from basic Cotes du Rhone, a Villages wine sets the benchmark for quality and value – out of 95 communes spread across the Southern Rhone, only 18 villages can make wines under the label. Subtle floral notes lead to a silky, smooth palate that’s crisp and elegant with enough citrusy, green fruits and lemony acidity to send a glimmer of freshness with every sip.

andanother KING PRAWNS Serves 4 2 large fresh crabs (ask your fishmonger to prepare for you and reserve the shells) 175ml extra virgin olive oil 12 fresh raw king prawns, shell on 4 garlic cloves, sliced lengthways 2 red chillies, sliced lengthways into strips 2 handfuls of fresh parsley leaves 250ml white wine 1 lemon, cut into quarters, to serve Slices of bread, to serve Salt Method: 1. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan, add the prawns and cook for

one minute over a high heat. Turn them over and cook the other side for another minute.

2. Add the garlic, chillies and crab chunks, season with salt, then reduce the heat and cook for two minutes with the lid on.

3. Add the parsley, increase the heat and pour in the wine and any reserved juices from the crab.

Bubble until evaporated, then serve immediately, with lemon quarters and lots of bread to mop up the juices.

PUKLAVEC SEVEN NUMBERS 7 FURMINT, Slovenia (£16, WoodWinters) Why would you buy a wine at this price level when you’ve never heard of the grape? Well, if you’re looking for something deliciously different that carries its scented bouquet and rich, herbaceous flavours on a satin-textured palate that’s lifted with citrus, spice and floral aromatics, this is a must-have. Awarded a Platinum medal at the 2017 Decanter Awards, it’s made from the local furmint grape and will brighten your day.

NONIUS FETEASCA REGALA/ CHARDONNAY 2016, Romania (£5.49, Aldi, in-store) After years in the doldrums, this huge wine-producing country is back on track and Cramele Recas is the label behind some of Romania’s most affordable and attractive styles. This blend of chardonnay and a local variety evokes white peach and jasmine with apricot and lime flavours mingling with fresh acidity. Crisp and well ripened, it’s bang on the money, but you’ll need to hurry up – it’s only available until the end of August.

W

hen Cava is mentioned do you think of fine sparkling wine, or cheap fizz? Many think of the latter. But things are about to change. For two years now Cava producers have been battling to have their top wines recognised with an official classification because, other than the price tag, how does the consumer know if they are getting something cheap or something special? Cava (which is the name for sparkling wine made in Spain) is one of the few products that follows the same production methods as Champagne. Cava is rich, complex and dry. In

fact, some of the finest examples are a worthy challenger to Grand Cru Champagne.

The new Cava classification has been awarded to 12 vineyard sites (not estates). This means the consumer can be guaranteed that these are the best Cavas Spain has to offer, where grapes have been hand harvested from vines at least ten years old, yields have been restricted and the wine aged for a minimum of 36 months. These fine Cavas will be labelled as Cava de Paraje Calificado alongside the name of the estate on the front label. Included in the 12 sites are three from Codorniu (Spain’s favourite brand) and one from Freixenet. It will be a while before these classified wines hit our shelves but in the meantime why not try swapping Prosecco for Cava for a change and see for yourself just how good it is.

All the local bars and pubs open their doors to the public late into the evening so you can try local ciders and listen to folk musicians from all over the country perform. The local gardens are packed full of jewellery and food stalls, and there are dance performances in the town square.

WEEKEND My favourite weekend escape is going to visit my family in Sidmouth. I love the buzz of city life in Plymouth and commuting to London for work keeps me motivated, but there always comes a point where I need to take a step back and enjoy the countryside.

If I have a rare free weekend I’ll go to the seaside and enjoying a coffee on the beach with my mum. Dukes on Sidmouth seafront is a particular favourite of ours.

BEACH Lyme Regis is such a beautiful part of the Jurassic coastline. Walking along the cobb and taking in the seascape around you is breathtaking. There are plenty of independent cafes to sit and have a cuppa too. Lyme Regis is also home to my favourite book shop on the planet - The Sanctuary. They have a little fairy light covered room on the lower level of the shop with wall to wall National Geographic magazines and a sofa you can snuggle up on while you read - bliss!

WALKS

A wild antidote WEST’S WALK GURU MARTIN HESP HEADS TO EXMOOR FOR A SUNNY STROLL

I FACT FILE OVERVIEW: From Withypool west over the hills north of Barle to Landacre, returning via paths south of the river.

DISTANCE AND GOING: 8 miles- many ups and downs can be muddy in winter

GET HERE: Type TA24 7QP into your sat-nav.

PARKING: There’s a small public car park near bridge at Withypool RECOMMENDED MAP: Ordnance Survey Outdoor Leisure Map 9, Exmoor

twists and turns past private gardens, beyond the building which used to be the village school, and so deposits us on sloping meadows which we climb in a north-westerly direction until we reach an attractive, ridge-back lane.

Kitridge Lane to be exact. A thoroughfare made historic by the ancient annual Exmoor pony drive that sees the Withypool Common herd being driven down to Foxtwitchen for scrutiny and branding. It is a wonderful thing to see.

The lane ascends towards the west and - being on a ridge - offers fine views every step of the way. North we can look across Pennycombe Water to the great, central, empty massif that is Exmoor’s loneliest expanse. There is nothing up there save for dolmen and deer.

To the south we gaze across the broad ravine of the Barle, and see Withypool Common rising around to tall and looming Brightworthy Barrows.

f the Westcountry had a roll-call of special places, the moorland village of Withypool would feature on the brass plaque.

Withypool is Exmoor’s answer to Dartmoor’s Widecombe-on-theMoor. It is a little bit of the Scottish Highlands planted hundreds of miles south. It is the wild antidote to urban Britain.

And, needless to say, it is surrounded by very good walks.

There’s a car park adjacent to the village’s arched bridge, just beyond the post office and stores, and the green banks here offer a wonderful picnic spot in summer. When I parked here on a hot day recently there must have been 50 people with picnic rugs on the grass and a dozen children playing in the river.

But we hikers must earn our crust by crossing back over that bridge and turning left to walk 20 or 30 yards along the lane to find the footpath that heads north up the hill. This

32

We’re on the Two Moors Way here which doesn’t often follow a paved lane but this must be one of the most quiet roads in the South West. The tarmac ceases at the top of the lane, but a rough track continues up to the Exford-Landacre Bridge road. Before you continue, though, have a look at the walls that surround the area of moor in front of you - they enclose three sides, the fourth, the westernmost, is open. This is the huge stonewalled trap - or drift - used to enclose the wild Exmoor ponies.

Our path continues across the other side of Landacre Lane and we follow it on towards Pickedstones. We mustn’t follow it in that direction all the way - when the path divides out on the high moor we must take the left-hand branch that begins an easy descent towards the river.

After a mile or so we find ourselves within a few hundred yards of the River Barle and, once we’ve passed through a gate into a field, we turn left

OUT OF THE WOODS A few miles from Withypool is one of my favourite watering holes in the region. Woods, in Dulverton, has been included in the Good Pub Guide’s Top 10 Pubs in the UK for three years on the trot and has been named Britain’s top wine pub for seven years in a row! www.woodsdulverton.co.uk

RIVER INVADERS

down the side of the hedge to another gate that introduces us to the stream.

You are going to get your feet wet crossing the river, but the other day the water level was extremely low and my new Salomon boots didn’t let in a single drop. If you were doing this hike during a rainy period in winter you might need to find a better route. For example, you could ignore this crossing and stick to the northerly bank, following it down to the famous Landacre Bridge - or indeed avoid this western bit of moorland and stick to Landacre Lane but the route makes more sense and is more fun if you paddle the stream.

For some reason the knoll on the south bank is called Sherdon Hutch.

Next the right-of-way meanders through riverside meadows to eventually reach Waterhouse Farm, and from here it’s a few hundred yards back to the picnic spot under Withypool’s old arched bridge.

Seeing the tourists there enjoying the sunshine it’s hard to imagine the tenants of the old Royal Forest gathering down by the bridge to attend their annual Swainmote centuries ago. But, gather they did, and their decisions in that empty place were of great import to the big moorland expanse all around. In later years the Court Leet held its business in the far more comfortable surroundings of the Royal Oak at Withypool.

And it is to this establishment that you can repair - after having completed the delightful, easy-to-follow, walk that follows the Barle back down to the village.

In the 18th century the writer Locke described it as: “An unpleasant and unprofitable parish…” Foolish man.

Maybe they used to keep rabbits here, I don’t know. What I do know is that this is another area which can look more like a popular coastal beach in summer - the pool just above your crossing place is a favourite swimming haunt and people come from miles around.

Climb the Hutch and head to the road. Not far down it, towards Landacre Bridge, you will find the Withypool path heading off across the moors - and this you follow east all the way back to that special village. The path follows the Barle and passes along the lower contours of Withypool Common before dropping down to the farm at Brightworthy.

ON A HOT DAY RECENTLY THERE MUST HAVE BEEN 50 PEOPLE WITH PICNIC RUGS ON THE GRASS AND A DOZEN CHILDREN PLAYING IN THE RIVER

33

While you are walking by the Barle keep an eye out for crayfish. I saw a huge example recently in the neighbouring River Exe. Being so large, it was almost certainly a non-native signal crayfish, which have an adverse impact on native freshwater flora and fauna. My theory is that the best way of getting rid of them is to catch them and eat them.

REST EASY Withypool is a long way from anywhere so if you fancy doing this walk then relaxing in-situ, so to speak, the Royal Oak Inn in the heart of the village is your best bet. Described as a Four Star B&B the pub has eight rooms and has been the centre and focal point of moorland life for over 300 years. www.royaloakwithypool.co.uk

W

e live in a culture where being stressed at work is considered pretty normal.

But when does a healthy amount of adrenaline pumping in the lead-up to a deadline or before a presentation turn into stress that risks seeing you burned out or developing anxiety?

“Unmanageable stress affects us all in different ways, but there are signs to look out for: Feeling irritated, finding it hard to sleep or struggling to concentrate. You may feel really upset and emotional. You might also notice some physical signs, like headaches, upset stomach, or difficulty breathing,” says Emma Mamo, head of workplace wellbeing at the mental health charity Mind.

2016 figures from the Government-backed Health and Safety Executive (HSE) found stress now accounts for 37 per cent of work-related illness. So what can you do in the office when you feel your stress levels getting out of control?

1.

IDENTIFY THE TRIGGERS OF YOUR STRESS

Dr Mark Winwood, director of psychological services for AXA PPP healthcare, adds: “It is important to think about what’s making you want to phone in sick. Are you afraid of failing? Think about what you'd say to a friend or a colleague in the same situation. Would you be as hard on them as you are on yourself?”

2.

BREAK BIG TASKS DOWN INTO MANAGEABLE STEPS

“Sometimes, your work can seem insurmountable,” says Marcus Herbert, a clinical physiologist for Nuffield Health. “Not knowing where to start, or feeling overwhelmed by the volume of work is a fast track to stress. Each

step you complete will feel like a small victory, turning a negative into a positive and helping your brain to process the overall project easier.”

3.

PRACTICE MINDFULNESS AT WORK

Herbert says: “Being mindful is about being focused on what is happening in the present moment. Research suggests that on average, up to 45 per cent of our time in a day may be spent ‘mind-wandering’, which is when we are thinking about something that we are not currently doing.”

4.

GET SOME EXERCISE FIRST THING OR AT LUNCH

When your mental wellbeing is suffering, it’s a good idea to look at your physical wellbeing.

“When we get stressed, we often create tension in our upper back and neck,” Herbert says. “Aerobic exercise and resistance training increases our body’s physical awareness of what muscle tension feels like – and when the body is more aware of this feeling, it becomes a physical cue to take a moment to breathe and actively relax the muscles.”

5.

STAY AWAY FROM COFFEE

Emma Ross, A Vogel nutritionist, says: “Caffeine triggers adrenaline production, which leaves us feeling on edge, especially if we aren’t doing something physically active to use up the adrenaline. Caffeine also counters the absorption of magnesium, leaving our adrenal glands more vulnerable to stress reactions, and iron, making us more tired.”

Remember to drink water too. “Properly hydrated kidneys are less likely to trigger unnecessary anxiety responses. Interestingly, the initial stages of panic attacks are the same as symptoms of dehydration.”

34

2. Pret’s Chicken Avocado Sandwich (£3.49 takeaway) Avocado may be the barrier standing between millennials and home ownership, but it is delicious on a nice piece of brown bread.

3. Eat’s Prosciutto Baguette (£3.75) With tasty slivers of prosciutto, sunblush tomatoes and a load of rocket and mayonnaise, this summer sandwich is perfect for a picnic.

4. Waitrose’s Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato Sandwich (£2.80) The BLT is a classic among classics: stuffed with everything you need to keep you going all day.

5. Co-op’s Tennessee BBQ Pork and Apple Slaw Corn Roll (£3) British pulled pork and apple slaw under barbecue bourbon sauce, with spinach, beans and onion chutney – it's like a backyard barbecue in a roll!

6. Starbucks’ Ham and Cheddar Toastie (£2.99) The ham and cheese toastie is standard lunchtime fare, but what makes this iteration exciting is the cheese baked into the top of the sourdough roll. Mmm, cheese.

7. Tesco Finest Smoked Salmon & Cream Cheese (£3) Very little can beat Scottish smoked salmon when combined with soft cream cheese and barley bread. Go on, treat yourself.

INTERVIEW

FIVE MINUTES WITH

MIKEY

NORTH

Sarah Platt (Tina O’Brien) and Gary Windass (Mikey North) in Coronation Street

Coronation Street’s jack-the-lad Gary Windass has featured on the soap for the past nine years. With recent talk of a shock exit, actor Mikey North speaks of Gary’s dodgy jobs, financial worry and settling down with on-screen girlfriend Sarah Platt TALK US THROUGH HOW GARY GOT HIS NEW JOB

He bumps into his friend that offers him this job, it’s dangerous, he has no intention of doing it, but then things start to happen that change his mind. Sarah wants to buy a house so he’s pressured into that.

He can’t afford it but he goes along with it, but there’s no way he can, he knows that.

WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM WITH GARY’S INSURANCE AND WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES?

He gets a job on the building site and he doesn’t take out the right insurance. He assumes that he’s covered because normally in other jobs he is covered by his employer, but because he is working at someone’s house, he had to have his own insurance. He falls off the roof and causes thousands of pounds worth of damage.

HOW DOES HE END UP TAKING THIS NEW JOB?

He goes in his wallet and the business card is there for Joe who is the contact in Ukraine. There’s desperation, it’s kind of a last resort because he’s 10 grand in debt to the guy that he owes for the damage. And coupled with the two

FINANCIALLY?

families he’s looking after, he’s got four or five people to consider.

Obviously he doesn’t tell her to protect her, but he also assumes that if she knows he wouldn’t be able to go. He doesn’t want her to worry so he keeps it to himself by saying that he’s going to Hamburg.

HOW DANGEROUS IS IT THAT GARY NEEDS TO HAVE A WILL IN PLACE AND WHAT IS GOING THROUGH HIS HEAD?

He doesn’t really know what he’s going to do and that’s the problem.

He’s used to dealing with violent situations, it’s more the unknown of what it’s going to be like. When Gary first agrees, he doesn’t really realise how risky it will be until Joe says can you write a will before you go. He just goes ahead with it because he’s so desperate to pay off the 10 grand he owes. It will take him a year to earn that probably, whereas there he can earn that in a week.

WHAT IS GARY’S AMBITION IN LIFE AND HIS DREAM? HOW IMPORTANT IS HIM AND SARAH HAVING THEIR OWN PLACE TOGETHER AND BEING A FAMILY?

I think Gary wants to be able to provide for his family and have a straightforward life where money isn’t a problem. He doesn’t have a particular ambition, he just wants to provide for his family, not have to scrape and have somewhere to live. He’s 30 and never had his own place to live, he’s always lived with Izzy or at home. He wants get a house for him, Sarah and the kids to live happily ever after but things aren’t as straightforward.

WHY DO YOU THINK GARY IS A MAGNET FOR THESE SORTS OF SITUATIONS?

I think he has bad luck but some of that is down to his naivety in certain situations, What’s nice about this is, it’s tapping into the old Gary. I have done a few scenes recently where I do feel like I’m tapping in to where I first started, more so when he’s going to come back from this job. It’s been interesting to play.

GARY HAD TO COME OUT OF THE ARMY FOR REASONS OUT OF HIS CONTROL, DO YOU THINK HE IS A LITTLE INTRIGUED ABOUT DOING SOMETHING WHICH IS A BIT MORE ADVENTUROUS? Yeah, I think he has unfinished business with that. His stay in Afghanistan was cut short because of Quinny dying - that kind of sent

WHY IS GARY UNABLE TO BE HONEST WITH SARAH ABOUT THE MESS HE’S IN

35

him off the rails, so I think he has some unfinished business to prove that he can do this and he can be a man.

HOW SIGNIFICANT DO YOU FEEL GARY’S PTSD IS?

All these things about Gary is kind of the nucleus of what character he was when we first started 10 years ago. It’s enabling me to tap back into the reason why he first started the show, it makes a character quite rounded.

ARE GARY AND SARAH THE REAL DEAL?

I think and hope so, from a personal and a character point of view. I love working with Tina and I think the characters gel well. It feels real, there is a nice relationship there.

DID YOU ENJOY BEING INVOLVED IN THE NATHAN STORY?

Yeah that was more Gary being the hero and showing a different side.

CAN YOU GIVE US ANY HINTS ON HOW BAD THINGS MIGHT GET FOR HIM?

He’s going to come back a bit troubled. Things are going to happen that he’s not going to let on to anyone, even with Sarah. Then things will gradually keep getting worse.

Life on the water’s edge

TIM DAVEY GETS A TASTE OF IDYLLIC WATERSIDE LIVING AS HE WANDERS THE BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPES OF BRITTANY

I

f a holiday living life on the water’s edge appeals, then you really should try a stay in Ile Tudy.

You’ll find Ile Tudy and its vast, sweeping beach on the Finistere coastal region of Brittany, just over 70 miles from our arrival ferry port of Roscoff following an overnight crossing with Brittany Ferries.

Saint Tudy – from whom our holiday choice got its name – founded a monastery here on what was then an island in the fifth century. However, during the 19th century it gave up its island status when a causeway was constructed to link it with the mainland and it became a peninsula instead.

Its local beach, the Plage du Sillon, is three kilometres long so you are unlikely to ever have a problem finding somewhere to lay your beach towel down. It’s fringed by pine trees, which provide welcome shade for when the weather gets too hot, and parking is both easy and free.

nary nation is so good at. Looking for lunch we entered a humble local bar and were directed upstairs. Here we discovered a vast dining area packed mainly with burly blokes, including what appeared to be the entire staff of the local fire station, all devouring gargantuan repasts.

We shared a long table with strangers all seemingly united in one cause: to consume an astonishing meal for very little.

Starting with a vast buffet, we moved on to a decent main course (choice of two) and desserts – the staff were genuinely disappointed we couldn’t find space for any – plus unlimited lemonade, water and a litre bottle of vino.

Madness at midday? Maybe. A way of life? Most definitely. But you’ll wish we had places like this.

Our truly memorable meals, however, were taken on Ile Tudy’s glorious waterfront courtesy of the Hotel Modern. Here you could get wonder-

We were staying towards Ile Tudy’s outer boundary in a rented holiday home, a detached property 50 yards from the beach with bikes, boats, boards, ping-pong table and a wonderful suntrap garden – all for €550 a week in early summer.

This area is as flat as a proverbial pancake so walking into the heart of this tiny tourist trap is really easy.

Once there you find a lovely hotel restaurant, a pizzeria, boulangerie, a few bars and endless stunning views.

As locations go along this section of coastal Brittany, Ile Tudy is well-situated for numerous places of interest – if you can manage to drag yourself away from the lure of its beach for a day trip.

Places such as Benodet, Concarneau, Guilvinec and Sainte Marine are all close and across the water by ferry is its near neighbour Loctudy.

It was in Loctudy where we stumbled upon one of those remarkable French dining experiences this culi-

36

ful steaks, seafood and local dishes, all served with a flourish while you watch the setting sun sparkle across the waters of this charming little port.

But with fine foodstuffs luring you at every turn it’s essential to try to resist such constant temptations, get out and go walkabout.

Guilvinec is somewhere we always drop by if we’re in this part of the world. It’s about 23 miles from Ile Tudy, but all you need to know is that you should try to arrive at 4pm on weekdays to see the flotilla of fishing boats return home. From far out to sea they file in at the same time every day to this massive fishing port, France’s biggest, watched by hundreds and hundreds of people from an elevated viewing platform.

Their many catches of crate after crate of still-wriggling seafood are unloaded in front of onlookers, then whisked quickly away to waiting lorries.

Much closer is Sainte Marine, a

Monolithic stones at Carnac

Ile Tudy, Brittany

Quimper

picturesque harbour that’s really interesting to amble around.

There’s a lovely little chapel, a sailors’ almshouse and views across the Odet river to busier Benodet.

Benodet is one of the first places we ever stayed in France in the times when we camped under canvas rather than residing in bricks and mortar.

It’s changed from the quite small seaside town we once knew – these days there’s a casino, complete with red carpet rolled out across the pavement, and loads of apartment blocks. But it has a great beach, lovely setting and a superb boardwalk.

It is also the departure point for various river and coastal trips. We chose one which headed up the Odet river to the city of Quimper. It came with

set back from the sea. There’s the odd burial chamber and a stone circle but it’s these seemingly endless rows of stones which intrigue. You cannot help but wonder why this special place is not rated as one of the wonders of the world.

Maybe it’s because France seems to take an understated approach to such things. There’s no charge to visit, though these days you can only look and not touch (as once you could) and car parking is free. There’s also a great little road train which whisks you deep into the countryside for a tour of the stones and even drops into a local beachfront and the neighbouring yacht haven of La Trinite-surMer. We spent the final night of our holiday in the wonderful old town of St Pol de Leon, just a short drive from our ferry port of Roscoff. In the former we stayed at the character-packed and recently refurbished Hotel de France. While at the latter

a very informative English commentary and reinforced the claim that this is, indeed, one of the most glorious rivers of France.

Concarneau, just a bit further along the same coastline, seems much, much busier. There’s an impressive historic waterfront, but we felt it was all a bit too much hustle and bustle.

And then there’s Carnac, a lengthy but relatively stress-free drive away from our holiday home – and an extremely worthwhile one as this is a truly wonderful sight to behold.

Forget Stonehenge; this place gives our iconic national treasure a real run for its money. Thousands of large granite rocks stand upright in serried ranks and run for miles through fields

MADNESS AT MIDDAY? MAYBE. A WAY OF LIFE? MOST DEFINITELY. BUT YOU’LL WISH WE HAD PLACES LIKE THIS.

Lisbon: a city rediscovered

THERE’S A RADICAL NEW LEASE OF LIFE IN THE PORTUGUESE CAPITAL. SARAH MARSHALL RECOMMENDS THE PLACES TO VISIT.

A

and a double-decker bus functions as a cafe (with a good selection of vegan and veggie options).

Village Underground’s director Mariana Duarte Silva, an events organiser, was inspired to start the project after being impressed by an equivalent set-up in London’s Shoreditch, and earned support from the progressive local government.

Now there’s a skate ramp in place and a venue for occasional parties.

s numbers swell, new spaces are opening, often revitalising abandoned buildings whose walls still whisper fascinating tales. Artists tired of rising rents are shifting to new suburbs and entrepreneurs are capitalising on past glories by investing in innovative ideas.

Explore the past while imbibing Lisbon’s heady new energy by visiting the overlooked corners that have been given a loving refresh.

FACTORIES ARE NOW IN THE BUSINESS OF MAKING FUN A few metres away, past the hollowed shells of defunct buttercup-yellow trams, an industrial block of sorrowful late-19th-century textile warehouses has been resurrected from the dead to create LX Factory – a hipster village that’s (thankfully) not yet too hip. Escaping the marauding throng of tourists in Bairro Alto, Lisboetas come here to hang out and breathe.

Housed in a former print works, Ler Devagar is stacked floor to ceiling with books – and a bar to lubricate purse strings.

A giant bee made from rubbish

THERE’S NEW LIFE LURKING BENEATH THE BRIDGE Lisbon’s answer to San Francisco’s Golden Gate, Ponte 25 de Abril boldly slices through the silky smooth River Tagus with mid-Sixties industrial might.

Underneath the heavy girders in Alcantara, a new hub of restaurants, cafes and co-operative spaces has emerged, taking advantage of empty warehouses and neglected space.

Behind a graveyard of retired public transport at the Museu da Carris, a stack of 14 shipping containers hosts 35 artists, designers and musicians –

38

each company’s history. The choice of rosemary-infused, thyme-marinaded or even ginger-laced processed fish, can be overwhelming, but trained staff are ready to advise.

Elevating the humble tinned fish to an even loftier status is gourmet restaurant Can the Can, specialising in dishes where key ingredients come with a ring pull. Enjoying a prime spot on the Praca do Comercio, the restaurant isn’t cheap; expect to pay around £25/30 euro per head – far more than a John West multi-pack. But a sharing platter of tuna belly with celery root and smoked eel soaked in citrus proves fish from the tin can justifiably be called a delicacy.

climbs the wall of one complex; the city’s best chocolate cake is served at Landeau (it’s the only food on the menu), and at the top of a multi-storey concrete stairwell plastered in graffiti and pouty lipstick prints, there’s Rio Maravilha – a comfortably cool bar/ restaurant with just the right balance of edge and authenticity.

Lisbon skyline

Take a tram ride

THE SLEEPY SOUTH BANK IS WAKING UP It’s only a short 15-minute ferry ride from Cais do Sodre to Cacilhas, on the quieter south bank of the Tagus, where hilltop statue Cristo Rei (a copy of Brazil’s Christ the Redeemer) extends his embrace. So it’s no surprise artists priced out of the city centre are moving here in droves.

Turning right at the ferry terminal, a dockside path winds alongside a skeleton of frail warehouses with only trailing cables and political street art hanging from their bones.

Overlooking a small beach slapped by wriggling mackerel, two superb seafood restaurants deserve attention.

Ponto Final has the edge on seating, with tables set on a jetty pointing a thin (and very exposed) finger at Ponte 25 de Abril and sunset.

Much shadier is neighbouring Atira-te au Rio, where lemon cured sardines bathe in golden oil and teeth-sinking grilled octopus wraps the mouth in a warm embrace. The starters (around £9/10 euro each) are so good, it makes sense to order more and skip mains.

Further along the path, an elderly man sits with his lunchbox in a steel lift trundling up to to a viewing platform and cafe. He charges 90p/1 euro return for the Boca do Vento elevator (open 8am until midnight) – although that price can include a bite of his home-cooked food. Below, boats billow their sails and drift towards the mouth of the Atlantic, following a route once navigated by Vasco da Gama in the Age of Discovery.

An even better vantage point for river and downtown city views is the pebbly terrace of contemporary art gallery Casa da Cerca, a restored 18th-century house that’s free to enter and still far from the tourist trail. Vines curl through the wild and understated botanical gardens, and a small cafe sells sandwiches from £1.80/2 euro.

ICONS CAN BE SEEN FROM A NEW PERSPECTIVE If ever you needed proof of Portugal’s former glory, it can be found in the columns and cornices of the Rua Augusta Arch, built in 1755 to commemorate the city’s revival, following a devastating earthquake and tsunami.

Tourists can climb to the stone feet of Genius and Valor for 360-degree views of Praca do Comercio and Lisbon’s 18th-century street grid system, designed by the Marques de Pombal.

Costing £2.20/2.50 euro, the miradouro is far cheaper than nearby popular skyline attraction Elevador Santa Justa (and there’s barely any queue).

Below the arch, Praca do Comercio opens its arms to the river Tagus, where commercial ships once offloaded goods.

For decades, the arched colonnades hemming the plaza were reserved for government offices. Now many have been converted into public spaces; the former Ministry of Finance and Social Security is an ice-cream parlour, and a listed building once housing the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been renovated as a luxury hotel.

The Pousada de Lisboa, one of several historic hotels managed by the Pestana group, honours the past with duck egg-blue bedrooms and neo-classical stone sculptures of flamboyant nudes, which soften the edge of quiet, almost monastic corridors.

Front of house, the hotel’s RIB steak house (twinned to a sister property in Porto) revels in more bacchanalian activity, with Tomahawk steaks large enough to feed a family and decorative desserts deserving of hanging space on the wall.

Bartender Tiago can whip up a head-tingling 1910 – a creation in honour of the date the hotel building was declared a national monument; ask to try a straight sip of his homemade wormwood-infused vermouth, which is one of the base ingredients.

Shelf portraits TIN MAN BY SARAH WINMAN is published in hardback by Tinder Press, priced £12.99 (ebook £6.49) Actress and writer Sarah Winman’s third novel Tin Man is a heartbreaking story about love, loss and grief. Ellis and Michael are best friends, both growing up without their mothers in Oxford in the 1970s. The pair share a love of cycling and travel, and on a trip to France their relationship becomes physical. A few years later, Annie enters the picture, with the trio soon becoming inseparable. But then Michael moves to London and disappears from Ellis and Annie’s lives. Years pass, and in 1996 the reader encounters a withdrawn Ellis living on his own and working nights at a car factory.

The devastating events of the intervening years slowly come to light as Winman skilfully moves between characters and decades.

This book is all emotion, and unashamedly so, exploring themes such as the exuberance of youth and the desperation of unrequited love – and what lingers at the end is an overwhelming sense of sadness. Tin Man may be a short novel, but it packs an enormous punch.

REVIEW BY VERENA VOGT

FRIEND REQUEST BY LAURA MARSHALL is published in hardback by Sphere, priced £12.99 (ebook £4.99) This psychological thriller grips you right from the tag-line – “Maria Weston wants to be friends on Facebook. But Maria has been dead for 25 years. Hasn’t she?”

Flipping between the present and high school days in 1989, it tells the story of Louise, a middle-aged, single mum, who is stopped in her tracks when she receives a Facebook friend request from an old school friend who disappeared 25 years ago and is presumed dead. All the adolescent pain of her school days and the dark secrets surrounding Maria’s death come flooding back to haunt Louise, who has struggled to move on from the events of 1989 and, more recently, a painful divorce.

It is an accomplished debut novel from author Laura Marshall, which not only boasts an engrossing storyline, but also perfectly

captures teenage angst and the need to be accepted. But even more relevant is the book’s insight into social media, its dangers and how much we all leave ourselves open online.

is as typical as any of his peers’, but set apart if only due to his quiet studiousness. It is him, who, years later, Kuo returns to teach again from the confines of his prison; adding structure to his structureless days behind bars for manslaughter, where he is rendered unable to take care of his baby daughter. Kuo’s triumph is to place Patrick’s story within the larger story of the American south: To insist that learning can transcend space and time, if not actually solve the myriad injustices that still tip the scales against so many of the area’s black inhabitants. Reading With Patrick is a moving and important work at a time when America remains gripped by inner turmoil.

THEN SHE WAS GONE BY LISA JEWELL is published in hardback by Century, priced £12.99 (ebook £7.99) Ellie Mack, 15, disappears without a trace – a golden girl gone no one knows where. Ten years later, a body is found and her mother, Laurel, has a chance to rebuild her shattered, on-hold life. She meets a charismatic stranger in a cafe and is swept into an affair. But is Floyd all he seems – and why is his daughter, Poppy, almost a carbon copy of Ellie? Jewell builds a gripping novel around a maze of dark secrets, a tautly wound psychological thriller in which the suspense builds slowly. Her storytelling is immaculate, hopping between past and present, and in and out of different characters. It’s a tough read at times, but Jewell always keeps everything moving.

The intrigue never flags as she pushes towards a redemptive resolution. An emotionally charged read, riddled with creepiness.

REVIEW BY PETER CARY

DREAD CAT BY MICHAEL ROSEN is published in paperback by Barrington Stoke, priced £6.99 We’ve all been overdosing on cute cat videos on Youtube for years, so it’s probably time we were reminded of the darker side to cats in former Children’s Laureate Michael Rosen’s Little Gem for Barrington Stoke. Dread Cat is pretty cunning. He’s so scary that all the mice scarper at the sight of him, which means he’s not doing too well on the mouse-catching front. So he comes up with a plan – to tell the mice he’s given up chasing them for good: “The war between cat and mouse is over at last... Over-a-diddly-over.” To prove it, he promises each mouse a lump of cheese, and they process past him each night to collect it.

But what the mice don’t realise is Dread Cat is picking off the last mouse of the pack and gobbling it down. Only when their numbers have dwindled from 50 to 36 do the mice spot something is very wrong and come up with a plan to foil Dread Cat’s dastardly plan.

Like Tom And Jerry for a younger generation, but with Tom being far more mean and clever – and the 50 Jerrys all being a little bit too trusting – Rosen’s tall tale is a treat for young readers, in short, easyto-read chapters, simply illustrated

by Nicola O’Byrne.

Kuo arrived in rural Arkansas in 2004 as an idealistic young teacher, and struggled to adjust to the vicissitudes of life in the Delta: a place where corporal punishment and racial segregation remained prominent features of an area long-since used to violence and discrimination.

TELEVISION

The People’s Princess To mark 20 years since her death, Channel 4 will air interviews Diana had in the early Nineties with her voice coach Peter Setellen. Francesca Gosling chats to the controversial programme’s producer and contributors

W

ith a fairytale royal wedding, a soap opera love triangle and a tragic death, Princess Diana’s story is still one of the most fascinating and scandalous in British history.

But while numerous documentaries have been made about her extraordinary life – most recently including first-hand accounts from her own sons William and Harry in ITV’s ground-breaking programme last month – how much of the truth do we know?

Now, to mark the 20th anniversary of her death in a Paris road accident at the age of 36, TV viewers will hear in her own words what really went on behind the palace doors.

As her marriage to Prince Charles broke down, Diana spoke candidly about her heartache and the desperate measures she took to save the relationship to her voice coach, Peter Setellen.

With contributions from former confidantes, including private secretary Patrick Jephson, personal protection officer Ken Wharfe, and ballet teacher Anne Allan, the footage finds her between 1992 and 1993, shortly before her famous BBC Panorama interview. “This is the definitive ac-

count of Diana’s life as she saw it,” says producer Charles Furneaux, “and it would be very hard for anyone to supersede it.

“We hope it will be the resource that people come back to when revisiting the story of the Windsors. It will give viewers an insight into the process she went through as an innocent and inexperienced young woman, suddenly launched into this strange world.”

Ralph Lee, the broadcaster’s head of factual, describes the tapes as a “treasure trove” of footage marking a period in royal history as significant as Edward VIII’s abdication.

After months of persuading a “reluctant” Setellen to relinquish licensing rights to the videos, he says: “For those of us who grew up watching her on the telly, it turns on a new light and illuminates her in a completely different way.

“Like discovering a family album you didn’t know you had, you go back through the same events but you see images you hadn’t noticed before.”

Diana tells her trusted interviewer everything from the “best time of (her) life” as a self-proclaimed “rebel” living with girlfriends in Earl’s Court, to Charles’ bold courting tech-

nique, which involved him “all over me...following me around like a puppy”.

After marrying the heir to the throne at barely 20 years old, she tells of her realisation that her husband’s heart belonged to another woman, and how even the royal family’s “top lady” failed to offer much in the way of support.

Viewers will see how her isolation drove her towards an eating disorder, a deeply loving (but, she insists, non-sexual) relationship with her then protection officer Barry Mannakee and, ultimately, to earning her People’s Princess nickname as she channelled her energy into championing taboo health and social issues.

“A lot of women will identify with aspects in the story and how Diana always made it clear that she was not going to be pushed around and that she was always going to fight back – that attitude is what is still so impressive about her,” says Furneaux.

While the long-running relationship between the Prince of Wales and Camilla Parker Bowles was public knowledge throughout his union with Diana – prompting her to summarise that “there were three of us in that marriage” – Jephson maintains that it was the key reason why some sought to demonise the young princess.

The former monarchist says openly in the film: “What I loved about the monarchy died with Diana, for me.”

But the story is not all sad.

As well as describing the 180-minute edit as a demonstration of Diana’s “backbone of steel,” Jephson says: “She was a fabulously inspirational boss, because even when things were tough – and there many tough days – there was never a day so tough that she couldn’t see the lighter side.

“With every cloud she saw a silver lining and it was her rather brave sense of refusing to be cowed by circumstances that meant she could always lift, not just her own spirits, but people around her.”

Both former royal employees credit Diana with “changing the face of the British monarchy,” breaking its “theatre” to engage with hard-hitting issues of public life and, most importantly, passing that legacy onto her sons.

Recent years have seen William and Harry actively support causes such as disability and mental health, even opening up about the profound effect the loss of their mother had on their own childhood.

Jephson adds: “If Diana was still alive I reckon she would still be surprising people.

“There was nothing spun about Diana, she was wonderfully unpredictable and her sense of anything being possible is an important element in the monarchy’s future viability.”

The two doctors BEFORE JODIE WHITTAKER MAKES HER DEBUT AS THE TIME LORD IN DOCTOR WHO SHE’S SET TO APPEAR ON TV AS A VERY DIFFERENT DOCTOR, SHE TELLS SUSAN GRIFFIN

A

s soon as Peter Capaldi announced he was stepping down as the Time Lord in Doctor Who, all bets were on as to who would replace him.

Death In Paradise’s Kris Marshall was a hot favourite for a long time, as was Bond’s Ben Whishaw, Oscar winner Tilda Swinton and Fleabag’s Pheobe Waller-Bridge.

And then, seemingly out of nowhere, Jodie Whittaker was revealed to be the next, and first female, Doctor, in a short reveal following the Men’s Wimbledon Final.

“I’m beyond excited to begin this epic journey with Chris [Chibnall, the series’ new head writer and executive producer] and with every Whovian on this planet,” she said in a formal statement.

“It’s more than an honour to play the Doctor. It means remembering everyone I used to be, while stepping forward to embrace everything the Doctor stands for: hope. I can’t wait.”

Before she makes her debut at Christmas, when Capaldi bows out, Jodie’s appearing as a very different kind of doctor in a new drama for BBC One called Trust Me. In the four-parter, she stars as mum-of-one Cath Hardacre, a caring, hard-working nurse whose life derails when she raises her concerns about the standards slipping in the hospital. Sacked for whistleblowing, she turns to her best friend Dr Ally Sutton who’s emigrating to New Zealand.

At a drunken party Cath finds Al-

ly’s discarded paperwork and makes the desperate decision to take a second chance at life – by stealing her best friend’s identity.

But just how long can she lead a double life without serious repercussions?

“I think it really fascinated me that we could easily judge her and we could’ve taken the really moral high ground, whereas it’s a much more blurred line,” explains the 35-yearold actress in a warm Yorkshire accent a few weeks before the Doctor Who announcement.

“There is ego; it’s morally dubious, but there’s also good intention, which makes it complicated. Also, I didn’t know where it was going when I read it. I loved that, it’s exciting to play.”

In preparation, she and writer Dan Sefton, who’s worked on the likes of Mr Selfridge and Delicious, were taken on a tour of an Edinburgh hospital.

“I only did medical research that I needed to do. You can’t act the medical stuff, you’re either holding a scalpel wrong or right,” highlights Jodie, who has a two-year-old child with her husband of nine years, Christian Contreras.

“You don’t find out you’ve got a job six months before [you start shooting], you find out a few weeks [before], so they suggested watching 24 Hours In A&E. It’s real people, real scenarios and the thing you notice the most is no one’s running in going, ‘Get me this! Go, go, go!’ Everyone knows what they’re doing, it’s quite

42

calm so it was interesting to play the person that’s out of sync with everyone else’s rhythm.”

It’s the first time Jodie’s heard of imposter doctors.

“One thing I was conscious about is that this is a story and when being asked about the NHS, it’s a really precious thing to people and to me personally,” she notes.

“We’ve got to just allow ourselves to tell stories within it without saying, ‘This is what we’re saying about the whole thing’. It’s an environment that is perfect for drama, like lots of things are. It explores a storyline that until today none of us knew how common it was.”

Jodie doesn’t consider herself suitably “clear-headed” to be in the medical profession (“There’s a reason why I’m an actress and not a doctor”) but she can relate to the idea of being an imposter.

“You always think you’re about to be found out. I don’t know anyone that doesn’t feel like that,” admits the actress who studied at Guildhall School Of Music And Drama before making her professional stage debut in 2005.

The following year she appeared alongside the late Peter O’Toole in the movie Venus.

The industry deems it her breakthrough role and Jodie herself describes it as “a game changer”.

“Venus absolutely changed everything because you could say I went from straight out of drama school to being in a film.”

As for the Dorset-based detective drama Broad-

IT’S AN ENVIRONMENT THAT IS PERFECT FOR DRAMA, LIKE LOTS OF THINGS ARE. IT EXPLORES A STORYLINE THAT UNTIL TODAY NONE OF US KNEW HOW COMMON IT WAS.

church, in which she starred as grieving mother Beth Latimer, Jodie believes it will take time to appreciate just how significant the role has been.

“It’s definitely been an amazing thing for my career but it’s difficult to know how much of a game changer it is. I may, in five years, be able to go, ‘That was the catalyst for all these things’.

“But I’m not [Star Wars’] Daisy Ridley. It’s not like I’ve gone from an absolute brand new face to the biggest franchise in the world. It’s from being on television or in films and working and knowing people to then being in a role that has a huge audience.”

Jodie cherishes the people she met during the three-series run (“I’ll know them for the rest of my life”), not least Chibnall, the Broadchurch creator who cast her in Doctor Who. It’s an exciting new chapter for them both but then Jodie’s always keen to challenge herself.

“As far as work goes I feel like I’ve tried to not take the same job twice.

It’s hard because people know you for a certain thing, [but] it’s always finding the thing that makes it difficult and interesting,” she stresses.

“I’ve been really lucky because the jobs I’ve done have been really hard and that’s what you want. You want to have to work at it, you don’t want it to be second nature. It’s just fantastic to have parts that are so rich to be able to throw yourself into.”

“We’re supporting the local supply chain,” I replied primly. “It’s ethical. And healthy. You’re supposed to eat seasonally. It’s better for you.”

“I don’t think these Jerusalem artichokes are healthy, judging by the smells they’re producing,” he retorted. And to be fair, he had a point.

That’s the trouble with eating seasonally: not all seasons produce your favourite vegetables.

Luckily, we’re at the time of year where nature is bounteous. We’ve got all kinds of cool stuff in our veg boxes: gourmet mixed leaves, chard, new potatoes, and a mysterious red tuber.

“What is this thing?” I asked the room, waving the purple ball with leaves poking out of all angles. It wasn’t a beetroot. It wasn’t a potato.

“It looks like something in the turnip family,” said a friend, who was visiting.

autumn cutting back.

And the second-to-last thing I want to hear is, “You need to get that dandelion out before it drops its seeds.

You know what they say, ‘one year’s seed, ten years’ weed’.”

The dandelions in my garden have roots so deep, if I dug a whole one up out would come some Australian outback dust.

Oh, the lack of time, and that dwindling list of approved chemical warfare agents.

The only occasion I sit in the garden is to drink tea and get my strength back ready for the next attack.

I do lie on the lawn regularly – when my back has seized up after an excess of digging and it’s too painful for me to hobble into the house.

While I gaze at the sky, I contemplate life, the universe and an early scene from the Bible.

God didn’t uproot Adam and Eve from of the Garden of Eden because of eating the forbidden fruit.

He kicked them out because they were a pair of horticultural anoraks.

“God, if I were you, I wouldn’t plant that bamboo there.”

“How do you cook it?” I asked.

Everybody shrugged.

The obvious choice would be to look on the veg group website, where there would be a list of what was in the box, together with recipe suggestions. However, this felt as unadventurous as reading the instructions on a flat-pack of self-assemble shelves.

Where’s the fun in that?

“Let’s roast it,” I said. “You can roast anything that grows underground.”

I went to volunteer the next week. “What did you do with your kohl rabi,” a fellow volunteer asked me as we measured out French beans. “What did you do with your kohl rabi?” I countered, trying to remember how many unidentified vegetables were in our last box.

“I think it’s best grated in a cole slaw,” she said.

“We roasted ours, I think it really brings out the flavour,” I bluffed.

Personally, I’m glad to be back in the swing of seasonal vegetables. It spices up your life with the arrival of mystery vegetables. Now I just have to put up with my husband complaining about the dirt...

“WHAT IS THIS THING?” I ASKED THE ROOM, WAVING THE PURPLE BALL WITH LEAVES POKING OUT OF ALL ANGLES. IT WASN’T A BEETROOT.
