Kick back and relax

We don’t know about you, but this is the most laid-back time of year. There’s very little sense of urgency and the general feeling is, most serious stuff can wait until September.

In the meantime, we’re planning country walks - and what to wear on them (page 24).

We’re also very impressed by Elsie Pinniger, the Newquay designer who has seen her innovative fashion creations snapped up by the likes of Vogue and Marie Claire. She tells us all about her extraordinary year on page 10.

If you’ve got time to sit down and read a moving, but ultimately uplifting, story, then turn to page 14 of today’s magazine. Westcountry mum Sandra Cousins is putting her own personal heartbreak behind her in a bid to save young women from illness. Sandra’s story of losing her beautiful daughter Mercedes is one we won’t forget in a long time.

As our resident chef Tim Maddams tells us on page 28, now is the time to pick berries. But did you know you can make fabulous desserts and syrups from rowan berries? We do now thanks Tim! Finally, please do join us on Sundays (and throughout the week) for a good old chinwag on Twitter - @wmnwest is where you’ll find us, nattering away. It’s a lot of fun. Happy reading!

ELSIE PINNIGER

Fashion’s new wave Cornwall’s surf designer Elsie Pinniger has turned the humble wetsuit into a red hot fashion must-have, wowing the likes of Vogue magazine

By Catherine Barnes

lsie Pinniger is so laid back it’s a wonder she manages to stay upright on her surfboard.

Just weeks after launching Neon Wetsuits from her Newquay studio last May, she was featured in Vogue as a noteworthy new design talent.

“Oh yeah,” she says vaguely, after some gently prompting from her friend and PR manager Lucy. “They did a feature on me as an up and coming sportswear designer.

“I’m the most underwhelmed person you’ll

meet,” she laughingly confesses. “People get all excited and I’m... okay... yeah. But I’m lucky – I’m selling internationally and can’t express how stoked I am about that.”

Handmade by Elsie and designed for summer water wear, the Neon collection consists of highwaisted neoprene surf bikini pants and tops and one-piece costumes in reversible styles which give two colourways in one suit.

Personable, funny and chilled, 33-year old Elsie’s designs are a hot topic among fashionistas and the surf sorority alike. In the past year they’ve been featured in fashion pages the world over and even made The Wall Street Journal.

This summer Mario Testino shot supermodel Kate Upton wearing Neon for the Cornish label’s second Vogue outing, published this June.

Not bad for a girl who until recently has taken every day pretty much as it comes. After quitting school at 16, Elsie left home in Wiltshire for Australia where learned to surf, heading for Cornwall when she returned to the UK. “I just packed the car and drove down and ended up in Newquay and ended up working in pubs, sofa surfing and real surfing.

“I became a beach lifeguard at St Ives. I was in the water every day. Back then, lifeguarding was totally a boy’s world, but my employers had the attitude ‘just so long as you’re good enough.’ I’ve always to a degree been one of the boys and I had such a great time.

“I’d work the summer and have the winter off and go all over the world, really; Australia, Sri Lanka, Europe,” she says.

“I never wanted to go to university, I just wanted to get out of where I lived. It was really good travelling and I learned loads.

“Actually, I didn’t,” she confides, with a mischievous sideways look. “I just got drunk and surfed loads. Lucy, stop me if I say anything too stupid, won’t you?”

As well as beach lifeguarding, her career adventures range from marketing for surf brand Rip Curl and interior design, to managing upmarket Cornish restaurants, while she’s also the co-founder of hip and happening Newquay cafe Jam Jar, which has just marked its first anniversary.

» 11

Elsie.indd 11

05/08/2014 17:04:50

“What Elsie means to say is that she finds it impossible to sit still,” points out Lucy in more businesslike tones.

Certainly, this girl not only has ants in her pants, but after spending a decade in the surf, developed a bee in her bonnet: “I was spending a lot of time in a wetsuit, kind of wanting something else to wear, but there was nothing available,” she says.

“Girls’ wetsuits are horrible, designers just a hibiscus flower print on them and that’s about it.”

Standing six foot tall by the time she was 12, her mother often used to make her clothes, says Elsie. “She was a tailor and made high end posh ladies clothes bespoke.”

So, frustrated by the lack of choice for women surfers, Elsie approached Paul Chambers of Newquay’s Bodyline wetsuits. “He’s the nicest guy in surfing,” she says. “I worked with him for a year to learn how to make my own suits.

“I remember being in France wearing the first one I ever made and the head of Rip Curl paddled up and said where did you get your wetsuit? But I was too shy to say that I’d designed it. I just said – oh – someone in Cornwall.

“I still don’t really like people looking.

It’s putting yourself up for criticism and that’s the hardest part of the process.

“But I began to make a lot and I thought, either I’ve got to do this, or not.”

The trickiest and most expensive stage of the label’s launch as a proper business was creating the website, which enables customers to

customise and colour-coordinate their purchase.

“It took a year working towards that and it’s been important to me to do this on my own. I got a contract for an interiors job and used that to pay for half the website and some neoprene.

“It is hard work; I sell a lot to Australia and States,” says Elsie.

“When the Kate Upton piece came out, it got really busy and I haven’t caught up since. Now I’m having to look at what I want from it. For me, the label’s not necessarily about being made in Cornwall, but custom design on a small scale.

“I’m not money-driven enough to become particularly rich; growing up we didn’t have a lot

‘I was spending a lot of time in a wetsuit, wanting something else to wear but there was nothing available’

and my parents grew most of what we ate. I never got into consumerism.

“I see companies now around me and pushing their products into the shops, but they can’t do what I do. Big brands are struggling to keep up with the surfers, they’ve lost a lot of what the true surfers want. It’s about having fun and doing cool stuff.

“Day to day, I’m having a great time, just so long as I don’t get too stressed about it,” adds Elsie. Indeed, when her Vogue feature came out in June this year, where was she? Manning the phones in the office? No: surfing in Java.

“I needed to go,” she chortles. “But that said, it is important for me to surf and wear my stuff and network on trips like that, and meet amazing people. I want to grow Neon organically. I get a lot of offers of collaborations, which I don’t feel are right. This whole process is an amazing learning curve. I’m not precious about Neon, but I’d rather keep evolving than let it stagnate.

“But then,” she muses, “I might just get an insane opportunity and go and do that instead.”

SANDRA COUSINS

In loving memory One Westcountry mother explains why her daughter’s untimely death has led her to become a health campaigner

By Becky Sheaves

ercedes Curnow was young, beautiful and vibrant. She died aged 23 after a 20-month battle with cervical cancer. Her symptoms, although severe, had been overlooked and misdiagnosed – her family successfully proved it was a case of medical negligence.

What do you do when, as a parent, your worst nightmare becomes your everyday reality? Two years on, that is a question Sandra, Mercedes’ mother, has to face every day of her life.

“When she died, I would happily have gone with her,” says Sandra, 57. “If I could have, I would.

Heartbroken doesn’t even begin to describe how

M

I felt. I spent weeks in her bedroom after she had gone, just coming out for food. We were so close, it was as though I had lost a part of myself.

“To this day, I’m not the same person I was before. Something is missing, something is damaged. You still find yourself in tears in the supermarket. But slowly, slowly, you have to find a reason to get out of bed in the morning.”

For Sandra, the first thing that kept her going was a campaign for justice for Mercedes – who was repeatedly misdiagnosed by health professionals on the grounds that she was “too young” for cervical cancer. “It took years, but I did it,” she says. “You win, but you haven’t won, because your daughter is still dead.”

Beyond that victory, Sandra knew she needed to do more, to make more of a contribution. And so the Mercedes Curnow Foundation was born.

Today, she runs an office/shop in a busy shopping street in Truro: “the only cervical cancer fundraising shop in the country,” she says proudly. In Mercedes’ memory, she campaigns so that other young women can avoid the illness that so cruelly stole her daughter’s life.

And it is working. Sandra’s campaign to raise awareness - through petitions, social media campaigns, coffee mornings and more - has undoubtedly saved lives. “Mercedes died in 2011. In that year, there were ten deaths under the age of 25 from cervical cancer, according to the Department of Health,” she explains. “In 2012 it dropped to two, in 2013, three, and in 2014 so far, there have been two.”

We don’t know who those missing seven or eight young women are a year whose lives have been saved by early diagnosis. But there is no

doubt that they have been spared a grim fate.

Mercedes was a quiet but popular child, growing up in the West Cornwall village of Crowlas, near Penzance. The youngest of Sandra’s four children (daughters Terri-Jane, Kirsty and son Reis are now in their late 20s and early 30s) she coped well with her parents’ divorce and got on well with both her father and her stepfather Tom. “She was the littlest of our children but had a big personality. All the family absolutely adored her,” says Sandra.

As these pictures show, she was extremely pretty: “but not big headed about it in any way,” says Sandra. “She was beautiful inside and out.”

In her teens, she studied travel and tourism at college and got a job as a travel agent.

Sandra’s family has a lasting love-affair with Italy and, more specifically, Venice. “That is

what gave Mercedes the desire to work in the travel industry,” says Sandra. The family went every year to Venice on holiday and it was there that Mercedes met her long-term boyfriend, Federico, now 29. “He is trying to rebuild his life but he said to me recently: if she was still alive, we would still be together. I’m sure he is right.”

In March 2009 Mercedes began to experience problems, bleeding and pelvic pain. She went to her GP surgery repeatedly but the warning signs were missed again and again. On one occasion, Sandra accompanied her daughter to the surgery, so frustrated was she by the lack of answers. “The GP told us, rudely, ‘Now Mercedes, I’ve explained all this before. This is just something that girls your age go through sometimes.”

Sandra remembers getting into such a rage she wanted to “storm back in and insist on getting Mercedes seen in hospital”.

But Mercedes – who had by this stage been insistently told her symptoms were not serious - begged her not to do so. “I could have saved her life,” says Sandra bleakly.

Crucially, the fact that Sandra was a witness to this bungled appointment was key to proving medical negligence later on. “My advice to other women in this position is, always take someone with you. Don’t be fobbed off. Spell out your symptoms clearly and tell the doctors: I want you to check for cancer.” Today, the Mercedes Curnow Foundation will actually pay for private medical testing for women in the same position. “I want to make a practical difference,” says Sandra.

By the time Mercedes did eventually go to hos-

pital, in February 2010, it was almost a year from her first symptoms. The cancer was at Stage 3 B, and had spread into her pelvis. “We were told it was inoperable, but that they would try to hit it hard with chemotherapy and radiotherapy,” says Sandra. “You live in hope, but we knew it was a long shot. You just pray for a miracle, really.”

Alas, such a miracle was not to be. Mercedes underwent three months of treatment, travelling up to Exeter and Plymouth for specialised chemotherapy. She was then advised to “go and have some fun” by her consultants. She and Federico had a holiday in France. By this time, they were engaged to be married.

It was to be a brief window of normality, however. By the time she was back in Cornwall and a bridesmaid for her sister Kirsty’s wedding, Mercedes had lost a stone in weight. “We had to get her a dress in size 6 and she barely got through the day,” says Sandra.

An MRI scan revealed two new tumours. “Her little face as they told her – it was devastating,” says Sandra. “And the doctor was almost as upset as we were.”

More chemo followed but, in her weakened condition, other physical problems kept occurring. “It’s like a house of cards,” says Sandra.

“Everything starts to go wrong.

“She used to joke, saying ‘I’m a 23-year-old trapped in the body of an 80-year-old’.” The family managed to take her to Venice for one last holiday in September 2011. It was a happy stay, despite the fact that Mercedes was painfully thin and, in fact, three months from death. “Federico

took her in a wheelchair around Venice and she was so happy to get away from all the medical appointments and treatment.”

Mercedes also found a lot of friendship and support online. “She discovered she was by no means the only youngster with the disease, though at the time she was the youngest in the country,” says Sandra. “She wanted to raise awareness, warn others, give talks in schools.”

But it was not to be. By late 2011, Mercedes was gravely ill. “I would be with her all day, every day,” Sandra remembers. “I would massage her legs to stop them swelling due to kidney failure.

I can even remember crushing her antibiotic pills and rubbing them into her mouth, as she could not swallow them. Anything to keep her alive.”

Without ever saying so explicitly, Mercedes began to settle her affairs. She bought Christmas presents online for her family, nephews and nieces, and friends. She told her mother the passwords to all her internet folders of photographs.

“One of the hardest things for me was her insistence on sorting all her shoes into little clear boxes. But to me, they looked like rows of little coffins,” said Sandra.

They persisted with the chemotherapy, “it was keeping her alive” until Mercedes collapsed onto the bathroom floor one day. “She said to me, ‘I

can’t do this any more’,” says Sandra. “And that is when I knew, we had to stop.”

On the day she died, she asked her mother for some lemon sorbet to eat, then asked to “have a Tango and look at the car”. “We managed to get her to the bedroom window so she could see her beloved silver sports car, and she was able to have a tiny sip of the Tango,” says Sandra. Then she lay back down on her bed, said, “Mum, I’m dying now,” and she was gone.

At first, Sandra admits she was: “lost, angry, hopeless. But I have other children, and my grandchildren, and Tom. I can’t deprive them of love.

They need me too and they have suffered too. Now, I look after the grandchildren every week and I have the foundation too. I have found a reason to carry on.”

The Mercedes Curnow Foundation For the Early Detection of Cervical Cancer is a not-forprofit organisation aimed at raising awareness of cervical cancer, especially in young women. “We offer funding and advice to women who are experiencing worrying symptoms or have predisposing factors which may put them at risk of developing the disease.” Often, like Mercedes, they have not had these concerns dealt with by their GP. “I don’t want any more young girls to go through what my daughter suffered,” says Sandra. “That is my mission now.”

‘She said to me, “I can’t do this any more” and that is when I knew we had to stop’

Raising awareness, saving lives This Monday (August 11) there will be a coffee morning at the Mercedes Curnow Foundation shop in Truro from 11am-3pm A highlight of the Foundation’s campaign so far includes collecting 122,600 signatures for a Downing Street petition to have the screening age for cervical cancer lowered from 25 to 20.

Sandra says: “We have posters, flyers, wristbands and ribbons available free of charge for anyone wishing to hold a fundraising/awareness event or to distribute to friends and colleagues.

“You could also help by putting up posters (with permission) in public places like colleges, health centres, libraries etc.”

Design dreams

[

Devon’s Anne Swithinbank, panellist on Radio 4’s Gardener’s Question Time, is making plans for her garden, and others... usbands and wives do not always plant, perhaps Stipa gigantea (the giant feather garden harmoniously and when grass) across the bed and sprinkling another tools start flying, it is time to divide through it, possibly Achillea ‘Gold Plate’ with its the plot into beds and borders that hovering flattish heads of yellow flowers.

Looking forward Think ahead for your next year’s displays

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

If you intend to divide and replant herbaceous perennials in autumn and perhaps add some new ones, take pictures of the border now to highlight crowding and gaps.

Buying larger specimens may seem profligate but shop carefully and you might be able to find one plant filling a 17cm/7in pot, which can be divided into three immediately and used to make a larger group.

For impact generous drifts consisting of 5-7 plants of the same type will be easier on the eye than ones and twos of a larger variety of plants.

Question time with Anne Q

• Sow a spring cabbage variety like ‘Pixie’ to plant in autumn 30cm/12in apart in rows 38c/15in apart. You’ll be glad of tasty pointed cabbages next spring • Collect seed from favourite plants when the pods turn dry and the seeds change colour from green.

Remember that seedlings won’t

come true from complicated F1 hybrids or plants like apples that often throw back to distant ancestors.

• Plant colchicum bulbs. Known as naked ladies, these send up flowers in the autumn and look great under trees or in grass.

Foliage follows in spring.

We have a small pond and enjoyed adding a wide range of aquatic and marginal plants to keep it healthy and attract wild life. It is now choked full of growth.

Small ponds need restraint when it comes to planting and what you do put in needs regular gardening to keep it under control.

Even though spring is the best time to sort out plants, I would haul out the worst offenders (like larger iris) now. Either give them away, compost them or take off a small division, repot into an aquatic basket into compost for aquatic plants or poor garden soil and top with a layer of shingle. Dredge that area of the pond to remove decayed matter, thin out submerged weeds and replace the plant. Top up the water and vow to tackle the rest in spring.

What is the best compost to use for cuttings?

Mine mostly wilt or rot!

Although multipurpose compost sounds like just the thing – one bag for seed sowing, potting and cuttings, I prefer to mix my own. Take half multipurpose and mix with half grit, sharp sand or vermiculite. This makes a well-drained mix to prevent water fro sitting around developing roots. It stands to reason that a shoot tip with no roots will need protection from drying out. A propagating case or poly bag will do this but I always let a little bit of air in. Stand out of full sun and they should root.

Q

Water compost heaps during droughts, otherwise rotting will grind to a halt when it should be running at full throttle during warm weather. Continue to add soft wet ‘green’ ingredients and stemmy ones in thin alternate layers.

Lift bearded irises whose clumps have gone bare in the middle with all the leady fans on the outside of the group. Break loose fresh, rooted pieces with healthy leaves and plant in well drained soil, in a sunny bed with the rhizomes at the surface and facing the sun.

MODERN MANORS

Husbands and DIY

[

Kishanda Fulford endures some home maintenance othing is more guaranteed to drive me potty than when my husband decides to ‘do-it-himself’. Where to even begin on the catalogue of his DIY mishaps? How about this week.

I opened the Aga door and nearly fainted. Could an oil leak be the cause of such horrible overpowering fumes? No. What I found was two paint rollers which had been doused in white spirit and popped in to the oven to ‘dry’. Above them was my lunch, leftover fish soup, which I had been rather looking forward to. This had to go in the bin.

All Francis’s do-it-yourself missions normally begin in his hallowed room, which I am not really allowed to enter. This room, to me, is a shambles. I think it would be much easier if we had a drawer for screwdrivers, a drawer for sandpaper, a drawer for nails, etc. etc. My husband though, thinks it is as efficient if everything is muddled up. I think his predecessors must have been like-minded, as there are still great blocks of unscented pre-war soap on the shelves there.

It was in this room that Francis mended the cutlery drawer which had almost fallen to pieces.

I was assured that it would be returned to me ‘good as new’. The nails he used, though, were of random lengths, most were too long for the job, and the drawer stood on uneven legs. I gave up. It was pointed out to me that the demise of the cutlery drawer actually saves a lot of time.

Instead of putting knives in with knives, spoons in with spoons, you can tip the clean cutlery from the dishwasher straight into the drawer. There is, I have to say, some merit in this new system.

When I asked my husband, in a serious way, what he considered to be his successes on the

N

home front, the only thing he could come up with was that the kitchen door handle is still working. I was not going to remind him of the things that have gone wrong. The worst, perhaps, was the delivery of a magic mixture that guaranteed to get the paint off awkward, intricate surfaces.

This was slapped on everything, including an

A sharp, small hatchet was returned to me by a wedding guest whose three year old son had picked it up in the garden ornate wooden fireplace, and left to dry – for too long. It took me weeks to prise the solid filling off the wood in various places around the house.

And, only last week, I thought we had been the victim of an attempted burglary. Someone had taken a hacksaw to a lovely old door. In fact, in order to fit a handle back on the door, half an inch of it was simply was sawn away. And, in order to get the right angle to saw this half inch off, other parts of the door were scraped on the way. The only compensation is, I suppose, that in a hundred years’ time, if the family is lucky enough to still be here, somone will say, ‘Oh yes’, as they gaze at the saw marks on the door, ‘that was Great Grandpa’.

Francis also lives in the hope that once a job

is done, someone else will clear up the mess.

Often I have found paintbrushes soaked in oilbased paint standing in a plastic jug of water, or rollers covered in emulsion having a good dunk in methylated spirits. He also leaves tools lying around everywhere. I think he must spend half his days looking for his tree pruner. Once, a sharp, small hatchet was returned to me by a guest at a wedding being held here, whose three-year-old son had picked it up in the garden. I spent the rest of the wedding frantically searching for any other weapons lurking in the undergrowth.

One of our problems is that we are unable to work together on any ‘do-it’yourself’ projects because my husband thinks I ‘boss’ him. It is hard not to as he hacks away at a 1950’s fireplace in his quest to see what is behind the façade, and tons of rubble, bricks and jackdaw sticks crash down.

However, in his favour, if I want to know a potted version of the War of Spanish Succession, or how many Russians died at Stalingrad, or why the English won early mediaeval battles with bows and arrows he knows the correct answer. He not only knows the right answer but is practically able to tell me what they all ate for breakfast at the time. You can’t have everything!

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.

Rest or race?

Should you press on if you’re feeling ill, or chill out?

oing for a jog or hitting the gym can be a great pick-me-up if you’re feeling stressed or lethargic.

But if you’ve been genuinely under the weather, then health professionals advise against pulling on your trainers until you’ve fully recovered. Mo Farah recently had to pull out of the Commonwealth Games after an illness. But should you press on, if it’s just a sniffle?

Lucy Birch, who provides industry training to personal fitness instructors at the Dorset based Training Room, says: “Exercise causes stress on the body, and the effect of this worsens if you’re not at your peak condition. Trying to press ahead and carry on regardless can be a strain on your immune system, and could do more harm than good.”

THE KEEP FIT COLUMN WHERE YOU DO THE WORK:

this week: MARATHON GIRL Emily Gunning is 24 and lives in St Austell, where she works as a marketing coordinator for the Cornwall Glass Group. She ran her first marathon this year.

I found out I had a place in the London Marathon just four days after I ‘d competed in a Tough Mudder, which is a 12 mile obstacle course designed to test stamina, teamwork, and mental grit.

I have to say I was a little nervous, even though I’ve been running from a young age. But the Marathon was an amazing experience. All in all, running is a great release and for me the perfect way to keep fit. It

doesn’t matter how fast or far you run, each time you get out and do it is an achievement in itself. I think all you need is a bit of determination and dedication.

I usually try and get out twice a week. I believe that if you can set yourself a goal you can achieve it. My next event is the Plymouth 10k in November (www. plymouth10k.co.uk) with my boyfriend Steve. I need to get in some training to keep up with him!

This time of year will find us striding over fields, accompanied by dogs, kids and friends, in search of fresh air and the odd blackberry. But what to wear, what to wear? After all, there is no need to dress like a wildlife warden just because you are outdoors.

Especially if you are planning to swing by the village pub on your way home.

Thank heavens, then, for Joules, one of our favourite fashion labels. They’ve just opened a new shop in Exeter’s Princesshay and can also be found at country stores such as Cornwall Farmers and Patch & Acre, as well as Countrywide. This quilted jacket comes in green as well as navy and is lightweight, so it is perfect for the changing seasons. It’s also smart enough to come into town if need be and washes well, coming up looking as good as new.

Realistically, we’ll all need wellies for our autumn walks. But we also love these sturdy leather boots from Moda in Pelle and Simply Be. And why not show your love of all things natural with some animal imagery - try this flattering butterfly top or add rustic bling with this rhinestone dog brooch from Topshop. Unsure of the weather?

EATING OUT

Mashawi Grill

By Becky Sheaves

hen I lived in London, a dear friend of mine was Israeli. Perhaps surprisingly, she loved to visit the many Arab restaurants which line the Edgware Road. There, she could quietly revel in the food of her childhood, and she always paid in cash so they didn’t spot the Jewish surname on her bank card.

Despite the deep grievances that divide the eastern end of the Mediterranean, they certainly know how to eat there, on all sides of the cultural divide. Tasty lamb dishes, piping hot flat breads, honeyed pastries and fresh fruit juices – I just love Middle Eastern food. With this in mind, for this month’s review my husband John and I decided to try Mashawi, a small family-run Lebanese restaurant on Sidwell Street that I’ve had my eye on for some time.

First up, you have to make your peace with the fact that Mashawi does not serve alcohol and nor can you bring any in with you. With this in mind, John and I went down the road to The Monkey Suit for what PG Wodehouse would describe as “a sharpener”. A large-ish cocktail each, and we were good to go.

The restaurant is quite small, with a serveover bar packed with baklava-style pastries and glimpses into the kitchen beyond. Most other tables were taken by families with children or students, and the lights were bright and somewhat canteen-like. It’s not the most romantic or intimate of settings – indeed, it was quite the done thing to have a natter with the people at the next table. But the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. It was, though, rather chilly, due to the front window being open to the night air. We asked the waiter to close it but he said: “If I close the window, I will have to open the door.” No, me neither. I’m still puzzling over

2 Riverford Field Kitchen the logic of that one.

But don’t let that put you off, this restaurant is worth wrapping up warmly for. We had a glass each of fresh lemonade which was just the right balance of sweet and citrus, authentically home-made and more than a good trade for a glass of wine. For a starter, John had the Sawda Dadaj - chicken livers - (£4.95).

Billed simply as “with garlic and spices” the livers were gently cooked to silky perfection in a rich, warm, spicy sauce. A truly sensational dish.

I ordered a classically Middle Eastern starter, called baba ganoush (£3.95). Created, as if by magic, when you scorch a boring old starchy aubergine under a grill, this one was good, but not quite great, being a bit too full of large chunks of peppers and garlic, but very fresh and authentic-tasting.

For my main course, I had not so much ordered, as over-ordered. My serving of Riash Ghanam (lamb chops) was a plateful of seven – seven! - succulent little chops for £10.95, each deliciously charred from the grill, as well as a generous mound of fresh salad and a huge heap of turmeric-yellow rice.

Alongside this I had foolishly also requested a dish of the Lebanese speciality Fattoush (£4.50) which was just about the best salad I have ever eaten, even though I failed to finish half of it.

Sprinkled with spice, it had a sharp lemon and olive oil dressing, lifted by pomegranate syrup and interspersed with crisply fried chunks of

flatbread. Heavenly.

John, meantime, had ordered Kozi (£11.95) and was manfully tackling the huge chunk of lamb shank, tenderly falling off the bone in a tomatobased sauce. By this stage, we were really struggling with the quantities, which was all the more painful as the food was so good. I forced myself to order a dessert, which John and I agreed to split between us. Along came vanilla ice cream, transformed into something really special with a liberal topping of chopped dates, nuts and drizzled honey.

The service throughout was friendly, swift and attentive, and the cooking was superb.

As you may have gathered, I really like this restaurant.

TODAY’S WORLD

Freewheeling The classic VW camper van is an icon of Westcountry’s surf-style heritage. Gillian Molesworth compares it with VW’s 21st century update, complete with satnav and power steering W camper vans are everywhere in the Westcountry these days. Not just on the roads, either – every gift shop, ice-cream store, and surf shack splashes the “iconic” 1950s models across clothes, cushions, and cards. It’s not like they’re the only camping vehicle out there. So why does everyone love them so much? After all, even VW have moved on, now pushing their upto-the-minute super-modern cans, complete with iPod docks and flat screen TVs. Luckily for me, I was offered the chance to road test both by South West Camper Hire, based near Exeter. And in the spirit of fun, but with serious questions in mind, myself and the rest of the Molesworths (husband James, kids Freddy and Sophie) decided to find out.

We would take them on the road. Like Bob Dylan: Freewheelin’.

Julian Carpenter of South West Camper Hire had a tough choice for us. “Old or new?” he asked, gesturing towards a large farm shed. Inside was a range of beautifully presented campers of all sizes. Would we take the “old”, a bright orange T2 model (made in Brazil, as the European production stopped in 1979) or the “new”, a silver 21st century T5?

They both looked cool. “A lot of people think

V

[

they want the old campers,” said Julian. “They have style, there’s no doubt. But the new ones are more convenient. And they’re a lot more comfortable to drive.”

For our first trip, we were off to Bristol. With an hour of motorway driving ahead of us, we opted for the new van. After a quick driving lesson, we had loaded our ton of clobber into the middle of the van, and were on the road.

We seemed really high up. “Are you OK back there?” I shouted to the kids, about a mile behind

Half of motorists on the road hate you, because you won’t ever go much above 50 mph us. “Yeees,” they chirped. I thought all the crockery would rattle around, but the van was remarkably smooth. After an easy journey, we arrived at the campsite on a glorious sunny evening and parked up. The modern van was definitely turning heads - small wonder, as it would set you back around £44,000 to buy one. When filling up the water bottles at the communal tap, I felt obliged to explain it wasn’t actually ours.

We cooked a load of sausages, and ate them with garden lettuce and potato salad at the van’s four-seater table. Then we toasted marshmallows. We easily stowed away the table for night configuration. Lifting the roof up was also easy on its smooth hydraulics. The kids scrambled up to their upstairs bunk and we settled into our downstairs double bed. It was a really fun, straightforward camping experience.

We returned to Whitestone for our second road test. This time, we would be driving the iconic Type 2, built in Brazil in 2003 but to the old spec. We would live the hippie dream, in a van worth about £15,000.

Driving the Type 2 was a trial by fire from the start: a long, narrow country lane using an accelerator with a time delay and no power steering. James gamely hauled the enormous steering wheel into passing places, and we all held our breath as we shifted out, praying we didn’t stall. Stalling is a whole situation.

Half the motorists on the road hate you, because you won’t ever go much above 50mph.

But for all the lack of mod cons, I can’t help but admit, the Type 2 was my favourite. But then, I wasn’t the one who had to drive it.

South West Camper Hire (www.swcamperhire. com) offers breaks from £299 in a range of classic and modern vans.

The VW Camper: a timeline 1949: The first VW van (called Type 2 – the Beetle was Type 1) is launched at the Geneva Motor Show as a workman’s vehicle.

Mid 1950s: The VW Camper is released in the USA and sells more than 150,000 by 1963. Sales plummet due to the “chicken tax” levied at 25% on imported “light trucks” in retribution for European taxes on US poultry 1963: Engine size increased to 1500cc Sliding doors added. The VW camper van appears on album covers such as The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan 1967: Second generation T2 is launched. The original split windscreens change to the curved “Bays”.

1979: VW ceases building the 1967 Type 2 in Germany. South Africa and Mexico soon follow suit. Brazil is the last remaining assembly site

Opinions: The New (VW T5)

The Old (T2)

1980: T3, “The Wedge” introduced

James: Handles like a slightly wallowing van, hardly surprising with 40L of water on board.

Holds her own on the motorway. Comfortable steering, gears and acceleration. Just don’t go round corners too fast – or forget your height.

James: It’s a fun but physical drive which takes getting used to. It makes you slow down to a different pace, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

Bit stressful on the lanes - you do feel completely knackered later.

1990: T4 “Transporter” is introduced.

Now the engine is in front and cooled by water rather than air

Gillian: It definitely had bling factor. The table was odd in that it only had seats on one side.

Gillian: There’s no doubt this van’s got soul. I liked being in the vintage club.

Sophie: It looked cool and I liked the curtains. The worst part was sleeping next to my annoying brother.

Sophie: I liked the bed better but the driving made me nervous. But all in all it was my favourite.

Freddy: Awesome! I like how everything folds up, it’s really clever.

Freddy: Amazing, stunning, so cool, and really cosy inside. I want one!

2013: The last T2s are produced in Brazil as safety legislation requiring emissions control and airbags make them unprofitable. The final imports arrive in the UK in January 2014, all pre-sold at a price of £35,000

2003: T5 is introduced and sells successfully

Rowan berry basics You can look up specific quantities in any good preserving book, but basically it’s simple: put the berries in a pan, add sugar and water and cook until tender, blend and pass through a sieve to make a pulp. This you can turn into a ketchup by adding vinegar, more sugar or honey and spices and cooking further.

It’s even easier to make a rowan syrup.

Take water, sugar and berries, cook low and slow on the hob until the berries have given up their flavour and colour to the syrup. Strain, cool and use however you please.

Judge Rinder (ITV, 2pm)

British barrister Rob Rinder brings the action of a courtroom to television and bringing justice to those who’ve been wronged. It’s a similar idea to the US hit Judge Judy, but with homegrown talent.

Judge Rinder is to adjudicate over real, small-claim cases in a studio courtroom, with three different cases brought before him every episode. Each case will see him question the claimant and defendant, speak to witnesses, assess the evidence and make a judgement.

But be warned – Judge Rinder also reserves the right to throw the case, and the claimants, out of his court. When he’s not loafing around the green room, Rinder’s legal practice focuses on international fraud, money laundering, and other forms of financial crime. Rinder is also a fitness freak, with a particular penchant for marathons. So he should be able to outrun any aggrieved litigants.

My life man and boy

A close shave A trip to the barber’s turns troublesome for Phil Goodwin and son James, four o see the patch of scrub that now barely covers my ugly bonce it is hard to believe that a visit to the hairdresser ever featured in my itinerary.

But back in the 1980s, like half of Merseyside, my hair was cut into a wedge, short sides and back with one long droopy fringe over one eye, after Phil Oakey of The Human League.

Decades later, after middle age and unkind genetics have taken their toll, I am free of such worries.

I usually attend to my own less extravagant styling needs with a pair of clippers. However, the young lad has a thick mop of blond curls and it regularly needs seeing to. Following an unfortunate incident while staying with the grandparents, which left poor James shorn of his cherubic curls in favour of a militarystyle basin cut, I am now in sole charge of tonsorial affairs. And every couple of months we make out way down to the city barber’s for a styling appointment – a dads and lads special.

It must be said, the boy is not mad keen on this trip, as he is forced to sit still for as long as ten minutes while a stylist snips away at his mane. There is much huffing and puffing at the flyaway hairs which, though seemingly harmless to adults can be almost blinding for a youngster – “My eyes, my eyes!” he cries, dramatically, whenever I try to hack a half inch of the fringe.

But even worse is the waiting room. It may be a fact of life for us grown-ups – we browse the ancient magazines and wait our turn – but it is an eternity for those of tender years.

So, it was a hot, humid day, the nearby Cathedral green packed with sun seekers, sipping cold water and licking ice creams as we queued for the next available chair. And like in the best jokes, a fellah walks in. At first, eyeing his gait, I thought he had had a couple

of drinks. Then I wondered if he wasn’t very well, or maybe both. Well, he wasn’t happy about something. You know, reeling a bit, rifling through his pockets and mumbling about money and how he wasn’t going to pay someone. I didn’t pay too much attention. Live and let live, as they say Anyway, he sat down and carried on muttering to himself as we were going through the Argos catalogue looking at toys. But the chuntering goes on and James clocks him, looks at me, curious. I shake my head and divert his attention back to the magazine. Then there was a small outburst, and the guy refixed his belt and trousers. James suddenly realised something out of the ordinary was going on. At his age kids are fascinated by naughty behaviour and this looked exactly like it. James asked me, in his normal loud voice: “What did he say?”

“Just ignore him,” I told him, quietly into his ear, not wanting to aggravate the situation. But it was too late.

I glanced over and saw the bearded man was now shaking a slightly comic fist at us, warning me: “Don’t you talk about me!” Uh-oh! I felt the old adrenalin surge as a conflict seemed to beckon, but James was clearly amused.

“Daddy why is he doing that?” he asked, not in the least bit concerned.

“There’s no problem,” I told the guy, offering the calming palms. Just as I

was wondering if he was planning to kick off for real, the young lady hairdresser appeared, holding a black silk cape. James, still rubbernecking the guy, was plonked on a plastic box to raise him to cutting height, and my thoughts were cast back into the long distant memories of salon trips gone by: a bit off the back, not too short on the sides, leave it long at the front…
