6 THE WISH LIST

Say hi to high summer...

There’s been lots going on in West magazine this week and we hope you enjoy the results. Catherine Barnes has been putting beauty treats to the test on page 22, ably helped by daughter Tilly, 17. She has also found the time to take lessons in Cornwall’s newest academy - for bar staff. Turns out there is a lot more to pulling a pint of real ale than meets the eye (page 14). Jade Berry is an up-and-coming young Westcountry photographer. Only 20 years old, she has been shooting on film, old-school since she was 13. Jade’s still at college but we predict a bright future. See some of the lovely photographs depicting the realities of life as a young girl on page 10. Meanwhile, we’ve picked the best fashion for wearing to work on hot, hot days on page 24. Turns out you can stay cool - and look it, too. And if clothes are your thing, you can win a £50 gift card for all the lovely shops in Exeter’s Princesshay on page 9. Anne Swithinbank has discovered some new ways to attract wildlife to your garden (page 18) and Gillian Molesworth is musing on royal matters on page 7. One final thought: our foodie expert Tim Maddams wants radishes to “do a beetroot” and become hip and cool. Find out why on page 28. Happy reading!

You really can!

I associate this milestone birthday with the opportunity to be macaroon store, taken a bit more seriously. Donning pastels, and still ooze surely the domain of five-year-old girls at birthday parties, wasn’t part of the plan. power and Then I saw Parabel Gurung’s CEO Suit in sophistication candyfloss pink head down the catwalk. Cue swoon. This season, we ladies can now indulge in all the colours of a French macaroon store, and still ooze power and sophistication. As I soon found out, confidence-boosting clothing is pretty essential when navigating the big three-oh. People feel suddenly at liberty to question your marital status (translation: why exactly hasn’t anyone asked you to get married, ever?) and to point out your impending barren-ness (tick-tock, waggling eyebrows). Luckily, there are a host of outfit options in a rainbow of pastels that answer these questions for you. Pale lemon tea dresses say, “I’m not married because I am too busy being fabulous and attending garden parties.” Or this minty Reiss blouse I tried this week in Exeter’s Princesshay asserts, “I’m not ready to accessorise tailored perfection with sticky little finger prints, but thanks for asking.” The best part? Pastels are a pure celebration of femininity, so nobody will doubt your maternal instincts. That said, there’s no pressure to drape yourself head to toe in sugary sweets. A statement ring in pale turquoise or some strappy dusky rose sandals will add high summer style even to your favourite denims. If you’re rosy-skinned like me, leave Barbie pinks to the evenly-toned among us and dive into a world of Caribbean blues and greens instead. Colour-blocking with pastels is fun, try using a darker hue on your lower half for skirts or trousers. As for hair and makeup, keep it simple. OTT efforts paired with syrupy colours can come dangerously close to Katie Price in a wedding dress. Instead, neutrals work a treat with these shades, such as these tailored Reiss trousers I am wearing. The fennel envelope bag in my hand, also from Reiss,is the final finishing flourish to a formidable bit of fashion (and it will come in handy if one more person asks me when the wedding is.)

Jade Berry shoots on film using charity shop cameras

JADE BERRY

Welcome to my world

By Becky Sheaves

n so many pictures of young women, we are the object of the picture. So many times, the image is oversexualised. We’re just being used to sell something, or portray a male photographer’s fantasy idea of us, ” says up-andcoming young photographer Jade Berry, 20. “I’m trying to convey what life is really like when you are adolescent. I take pictures of my friends, here in Cornwall. I want to capture what is like to be growing up, full of possibility but not sure where you are going.”

I

Jade is in the middle of a degree course in photography at Truro College. She admits to being “amazed” at the reaction to her work in recent months. Until this summer, she was a digital refusenik. She still shoots on film, with cameras bought in charity shops, and only a month ago she finally decided to join social media by uploading her arresting images onto Twitter, Instagram and the web. “It’s been incredible, actually, the response,” she says. “People are following me, commenting

Jade Berry’s pictures document real life for herself and her friends on Cornwall’s North Coast

‘I want to capture what is like to be growing up, full of possibility but not sure where you are going’ on my work. It’s really exciting.” Jade is Cornish born and bred, and says her first steps into photography were taken at the age of 13. “My grandfather gave me a film camera and I used it to set up pretend fashion shoots with my friends. It was just fun really.” Today, she admits to being “obsessive” about

recording her everyday life. “I take a camera with me wherever I go. I’m always taking pictures, sometimes informally as I go through my everyday life, sometimes as proper shoots that I set up and organise in advance.” But the lines can blur: “My shoots are not exactly serious,” she says. “It’s me and my friends, and my shoots last two hours at an absolute max, and are a lot of fun. We’ve just done one recently featuring fairies and unicorns.” Jade confesses to finding the recent attention “overwhelming”. She was chosen to exhibit at this May’s Art8 – Newquay’s culture festival – and has just won a £1,000 award for her college work (see panel). But she is determined to stick to her Plan A – to stay in Cornwall. “So many people are saying: Jade go off to London, they would love your work there. But Cornwall means so much to me. It’s so beautiful, the sea, the sky and the light. You can be free here. I think the girls in my photographs reflect that sense of wildness and potential.” She is equally adamant that she won’t be trading her old-school cameras for the easier-tohandle charms of modern digital photography. “Film to me is more real, more of a creation,” she

says. “Just looking at pictures on a screen seems so virtual, as if they are not really there. I love the challenge of getting the exposure right, then developing the pictures myself in the darkroom. I spend hours in there. Like I said, I’m obsessive.” Jade’s life will be about photography, of that she is certain. But, like the girls in her pictures, the future is far from clearly mapped - as yet. “Cornwall is my home, my life. I love that cosy feeling of walking through Newquay saying hello to people you know. I guess I’m spoilt. The views here are just incredible every single day. “The trouble is, the practical side of making money from photography in Cornwall is very limited. It’s either weddings, or family portraits, or surf shots. None of that is what I am about. I’m planning some kind of creative platform for other artists here, perhaps crowd-funded. “I haven’t travelled much but I have been to London. I didn’t like it, so dark and dingy. I can’t see me working there. I need to be in Cornwall, it is my inspiration.”

[[ ‘I love the challenge of getting the exposure right, then developing the pictures myself in the darkroom. I’m obsessive.’

‘Our shoots are lots of fun’

Award-winning Jade Berry has just won a £1,000 award from the Cornwall-based Mercedes Curnow Foundation to work on a project encouraging young girls to raise their awareness of cervical cancer. Mercedes Curnow, from Crowlas near Penzance, was just 23 when she died of the disease and her mother Sandra is convinced that if Mercedes had been given a smear test when she first began to experience symptoms, aged 20, she would still be alive. Instead, it took 12 months of visits to her GP before she was diagnosed in April 2010. Sandra has set up the Mercedes Curnow Foundation to raise awareness of cervical cancer in young women. Every year the foundation will give grants to young people in the Cornish arts world, with the aim of promoting the cancer-awareness message. “Mercedes’ mum said to me, that her daughter had the world at her feet and then it was taken away from her,” says Jade. “She says I remind her of Mercedes. I don’t know what exactly I’m to create for her, maybe pictures, or a film. But it has got to honour her memory and take her message to other young women. It’s a big project for me.” For more details, visit www.mercedescurnowfoundation.com 13

Bar made A Cornish brewery has launched a training course to help bar staff pull the perfect pint. Naturally, we wanted to find out more...

By Catherine Barnes

hite wine spritzer? Forget it. These days craft beers with local provenance are leading us to fall in love with a night down the local again. Once upon a time, no self-respecting woman would sip a half-pint in the tap room unless accessorised by a wispy-bearded boyfriend and sporting matching Arran knitwear. Today, we’re in the midst of craft ale renaissance that’s seen increasing numbers of us develop a taste for artisan bevvies and menus matched with gourmet ales. Times have changed and for the pub industry which has spent some time in the doldrums, it’s a golden opportunity to persuade us to swap our weekend wine on the sofa for a good night out. And how to ensure we will? Well, that’s all down to the bar staff. As I’m about to find out on my crash course in being a barmaid. Pub landlord Iain MacPherson, (motto: Customers to regulars, regulars to friends) has one golden rule: Flirt like mad. And here’s how he wins them: Customer: Gin and tonic Iain: Single? Customer: Yes. Iain: Oh, good. Me too. “There’s always a line and if they walk away, you know you crossed it... horribly,” he says with a charming confidence which suggests that doesn’t happen very often. “The rule is,” he stresses, “Maintain eye contact at all times. There’s nothing worse than being ignored at the bar.”

Different hops are used in the same way chefs use spices

Iain should know. He has been landlord of The New Inn in the Cornish village of Goonhavern since it was bought and given an upmarket revamp by the owners of the nearby Oyster Bay Coastal and Country Retreat a year ago. He relocated from Bristol – where he ran an Italian eaterie – to take on the pub and experience a new side of the food and drink in-

dustry. Iain, along with his New Inn crew, are among the first graduates of the Skinner’s Brewery school for pub professionals. This recent project has seen the Truro-based brewery work with hospitality specialists Newquay for Excellence Training (NfTE) to train bar staff in roles that offer real career prospects. “Proper training can open doors,” says NfTE’s Claire Evans, who established the training scheme, which has received European funding support via Cornwall’s Convergence scheme, along with Skinner’s sales rep James Pritchard. My lesson begins at the training company’s headquarters, located in an old terraced building in Newquay’s Mount Wise, with tiny bar fitted in one of its back rooms. Also helping out is industry expert Stuart Douglas, who works as an adviser to a number of local breweries, with the aim of attracting a new generation of real ale aficionados to make a night of it down the pub. Part of his role is to ensure that what’s served is in tip-top condition. It’s all part of the reason why the pub is better than popping open a bottle at home. “Today, people are fussy. They don’t want their real ale flat and warm as it was years ago. Something that’s the right temperature, has been looked after correctly will taste spectacular,” he says. There are, I learn, hundreds of types of beer, including chocolate stouts and ales made from honey, while different hops are used in the same way that chefs use spices. And what’s coming in is matching, in the same way you’d match food with wine. There’s a lot to learn. But stage one of being a barmaid – bar person, Iain chides – is ‘tapping’ the cask conditioned ales which finish their fermentation process in the pub’s cellar. They have to be drunk fresh within days. Sounds easy-peasy. It’s just a small matter

of hammering in a little plastic peg, known as a spile, to break the seal on top of the cask, then removing another bung and hammering in a tap to let the beer out. “Imagine it’s someone you don’t like and give it a massive whack” advises Stuart, handing me a rubber mallet and retreating to the other side of the room. In the (merciful) absence of video footage, simply visualise five minutes of hesitant taps, thwacks, throbbing thumbs and pegs flying about the place. Like Carry on Camping only with firmer foundation garments. They don’t let you loose with real beer in the training room, which is just as well, as a puddle of water immediately begins to pool around my feet.

Living We’re witnessing a cask ale revolution

Tasting notes Real ales to try from the South West

Jail Ale, Dartmoor Brewery

Betty Stogs, Skinner’s Brewery

A full-bodied, deep brown beer that is made near Dartmoor Prison, hence the name.

Otter Bright (Otter Brewery)

Brewed in Truro, this ale is citrussy, with a good balance of malt and hops, named after a Cornish folklore legend.

Made in East Devon, this light ale is a good intro to cask beer. Served cold, it is a favourite with thirtysomethings.

Devon Dumpling, Bays Brewery

Tribute (St Austell Brewery)

A strong golden beer with a fresh hop character made in Torbay with a smooth taste and balanced sweetness throughout.

Made by one of the country’s oldest breweries, this popular and drinkable ale uses Cornish spring water and has become a national favourite.

Living

Catherine learns the bar trade “Serving drinks to the tables also means you know who’s already had enough,” he points out. He’s also done away with the classic row of stools at the serving counter. The reasoning is that trying to squeeze in between a row of bar-flies when you’re buying a round can be off-putting, especially for female customers. True, that. This new house rule has led to the relocation of a local legend who comes in daily for a whisky and water. He used to prop up the bar, but now there is a VIP window seat with an embroidered cushion that has been officially designated as his. Now ensconced behind the bar at the New Inn, it’s time for me to pull my first pint – Skinner’s Cornish Knocker. Following James’ instructions to the letter, I pull my pint – perfecto! – and only spill about half of it when I try to place it on the counter. The next stage is to combine pint-pulling with a bit of light banter. I can do it, says Iain. “You’re still a little bit mechanical in the execution. You need to be more relaxed,” he says. Ramping up the smile from the Anita Dobson to a full-on Bet Lynch, I pull my final pint without a hitch, touching it down on the bar with the reverence of a jeweller laying out a fine diamond necklace on velvet. Ta dah! So, after my crash course in the bar trade, have I got what it takes? “Well, I definitely think so,” says Iain. “You’d be great behind the bar.” He laughs. “Remember what I said about flirting?”

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

Question time with Anne Q

Our viburnum hedge has been attacked by a pest. Leaves are lacy and full of holes and we’ve found one small grub.

This sounds like viburnum beetle. Have you noticed a rank smell when the foliage is wet, as this is a feature of this pest? Creamy yellow larvae with black markings up to 8mm long hatch from April to June and feed. They pupate in soil and in late summer hatch into adult greyish-coloured beetles up to 6mm long which also feed on the leaves (though they cause less damage than their larvae). These mate and lay eggs on the stems which then hatch the following spring. Try lily, viburnum beetle and raspberry beetle spray based on pyrethrum from Green Gardener (01493 750061 www.greengardener.co.uk). Several applications to target both the larvae and beetles before they can mate and lay eggs should help reduce damage and break the life cycle.

Q

My lupins flowered well and have set furry green pods. How do I collect and sow their seed?

The pods need to go pale, dry and crisp and the seeds should go brown before they are ripe enough to collect. You can sow them immediately while fresh and end up with young plants to over winter in a cold frame or greenhouse. Alternatively, collect the seed and store it cool and dry until spring. Soak stored seed for 24 hours before sowing and they should germinate within four weeks. The offspring are likely to have different coloured flowers to their parents but sowing seed you’ve collected yourself is very satisfying. If you are not going to use the seeds, cut away the pods so the plant won’t waste energy in ripening them.

Send your questions to Anne at westmag@westernmorningnews.co.uk

• Annuals such as larkspur, sweet peas and cornflowers grown for cutting need to be picked regularly. This is like early dead heading and helps the plant keep producing yet more flower stems. If they seem tired, a liquid feed will help. • There has been a lot of growth this season. If your borders are over-full, go along armed with loppers and secateurs to cut away shrubby stems leaning over

lawns and into other plants. Avoid chopping at the point where they start offending but go back almost to ground level or to a healthy side shoot lower down. • Take 8-10cm (3-4in) long cuttings of favourite pelargoniums (geraniums) so they’ll be well rooted by winter. Set several in a 9cm (3.5in) pot and don’t cover as this can cause rotting. They need a bright, cool but frost free home for winter.

Top tips for a wildlife friendly garden Piles of rotting timber as homes and food for beetle larvae. Water is a key element for a wide range of creatures to live in, breed in and drink from. Use a bird bath or pond-in-a-pot in a small garden. Make a compost heap and don’t disturb it until April as these are the favourite hibernation sites of slow worms. Leaf and twig piles encourage minibeasts (woodlice, centipedes and so forth) which in turn are food for other creatures. Cut a path through dense shrubs to create damp, shady habitats.

Shear the old foliage from strawberry plants that have finished cropping. This seems brutal but it removes any diseased foliage, allows you access for weeding and lets light in to the crowns of the plants which after a good soaking (if the soil is dry) will grow back quickly.

Prune summer fruited raspberries as soon as they finish. The old, fruited stems are cut right to the ground and new ones tied in to flower and fruit next year. Keep them weeded. 19

MODERN MANORS

How to make money

[

Kishanda Fulford’s children show an unexpected flair for business

was hosting a tour of the house and we had reached the dining room, which is the end of the trip and where we have tea laid out for everyone. As I was chatting to the assembled company and doling out cups of tea, I noticed through the window a rope being lowered, on the end of which was attached a wicker basket. I apologised to our guests and said I must go outside and see what was happening. I found the basket dangling about four feet from the ground. Inside the basket was a badly-written letter. ‘Hand over your valubulls or we will jump.’ I looked up and was horrified to see the rope was swinging from the battlements of the house. Instead of being as cool as the cucumber in the sandwiches I had made for tea, I became hysterical. I grabbed the note and took it to my husband who was still merrily engaged in ‘tour talk’. My husband read it out loud and laughed. But the very dear elderly guests took the note at face value. They insisted I go back out, untie the basket, and bring it back into the dining room for them to fill with booty. While the debate continued I hastily scribbled a note, ran outside, pulled on the rope, and the basket was duly hauled up to the top of the house. In this note, I wrote, in writing plain to see, (even to children between the ages of six and seven years old) that if they did not come off the roof at once I would spank them - when I could next catch them. The basket was lowered once more and swung menacingly outside the dining room window. In it was another statement from the plunderers: ‘We are srius’. By then the horde in the dining room were opening their wallets; one lady even began to take off her engagement ring. It

was then decided that we should put a ten pound note into the basket to see if that would do the trick. The assembled party went out of the dining room and onto the terrace and I popped the note in to the basket and gave it a pull. No one could see the perpetrators but I knew who they were. Peals of laughter echoed over the lake. And then it was quiet. A few minutes later the boys walked

[

Instead of being as cool as the cucumber in the sandwiches I had made for tea, I became hysterical into the dining room with their swag and handed it back to the gentleman who had proffered the money in the first place. He simply laughed and insisted, ‘No, my boys, you keep it.’ I went to bed with a very serious case of the vapours. On another occasion we had a shooting party staying in the house. My son asked if any of the guests would like breakfast in bed. In an orderly way he began to make note of what everyone would like. The next morning he was up early and, with help from his mother, trays were laid with eggs on toast, crispy bacon and pots of hot coffee. Up they went, one by one. My son came back to the kitchen beaming with his own brilliance.

Only later that morning did I hear what he had been up to. He had politely knocked on the guests’ bedroom doors and on the tray was not only breakfast, but a neatly-written bill. ‘2 eggs £3.50, toast, £1, coffee, £3.20, bacon £1.50 TOTAL £8.20.’ To one of these guests my son suggested he might like to pay the bill before he ate the breakfast. The eggs congealed on the plate as the guest scrabbled through his change. Another time one of my children was loading someone’s gun. He was apparently charming until half way through one drive he said loudly, “You are not very good shot, are you?” For some reason, which I still cannot understand, that comment landed him a £10 tip. What have I done wrong? I don’t believe I brought the children up to blackmail and threaten visitors. I, of course, blame my husband entirely. What books were they read by him that instilled such behaviour in them? Or could it be my fault? Some of my favourite children’s stories are those of ‘Just William’. We had these stories on tapes in the car and listened to them until they wore thin. Well, imagine if, like me, you had not ‘Just’ one ‘William’ but three. Still, as long as they all know how to make money, it’s not all bad. 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.

Work chic Summer’s here but for many of us the holidays haven’t quite started yet. Here’s how to keep your cool when dressing for the workplace. y goodness, we’ve had some lovely weather lately. I know, let’s go to the beach tomorrow and make a day of it – swimming, surfing, strolling in the sunshine. All we’ll need is a pair of flip flops, some shades and a little sun dress. Sorted. Well, yes. Except tomorrow’s Monday and we’ve got to go to work. And what to wear is altogether much more complicated than shorts and a t-shirt. The knotty question of how to look smart, professional and (we may as well go for the whole nine yards) attractive when the thermometer hits the heights is one that has been puzzling women in July for years. So what’s the answer? We think that interesting prints in cool fabrics are your winning combination. You can still look the part without getting hot under the collar. It’s generally unwise to reveal too much in the way of bare skin, though we

M

do think that in most offices these days, it’s fine to expose a (smooth, preferably tanned) and tights-free leg if the skirts are not too short. And there are so many lovely dresses with short sleeves these days, that you can go all Michelle Obama (queen of the no-sleeves look) and exercise your right to bare arms. Add a light jacket if bingo wings are an issue. Likewise, unless you’re a High Court Judge, you can probably wear sandals, provided you’re not rocking the spangly flip flop look (best kept for weekends, we find). Just remember that all exposed toenails should be painted – and in something neutral, unless you are “creative” or a children’s play worker. In which case, have fun with blue or green varnish. There is also a move in fashion land to big up summer culottes as acceptable workwear. Not 100% sure this is a good idea? Here’s a pair from Somerset’s own top designer Alice Temperley that might just do the trick to convince you.

EATING OUT

The Old Coastguard By Becky Sheaves

few years ago now, I had a lovely lunch at The Gurnard’s Head. It’s a big old Victorian roadside pub perched on the cliffs in the far west of Cornwall that had been given a groovy gastro make-over. I found it filled with wild-haired and very cool folk and their dogs, superb rustic-smart cooking and a pretty amazing wine list. Afterwards I went for a walk on the Zennor cliffs. It was a cracking day out and I really loved it. So I’ve been meaning to check out the newer sister establishment to The Gurnard’s Head for quite some time. And this week I finally got my act together to eat at The Old Coastguard in Mousehole. I’ll cut to the punchline. It was fabulous. A really, really wonderful place. The entrance to this large, rather imposing, building is straight off the street in cute little old Mousehole. But as you’d expect from the name, the view out the front is really something.

which was unusual, and subtle, and so good I had to have another. John had braised ham and aged cheddar croquettes with an apple and parsley salad (£6), both tasty and charmingly presented. My main course was a piece of super-fresh hake on puy lentils, with pickled beetroot and salsa verde. The fish was cooked impeccably– crisp on the skin side, delicately tender right through. If you can’t eat good fish in Mousehole, right by the busy fishing port of Newlyn, then where can you? Which is what I said to John when he insisted on ordering steak. Oh well. As it happened, he didn’t really go mad for his ribeye (£19.25) and I wonder whether this restaurant’s commitment to local sourcing might be the reason. I’m Cornish and I love the county, but might I – reluctantly – suggest that beef isn’t quite as good down here as we are used to nearer to our home in Devon? So shoot me. Or perhaps it just wasn’t aged quite enough. This steak was perfectly cooked, but not overflowing with flavour. It came with polenta chips, which were crisped up on the outside and really special. I tried the steak and liked it but I know what John meant – it was no showstopper. In any case, as I said in the first place, he should have ordered fish, like I did.

Puds were simply sensational, and beautifully presented. I had poached peach, raspberries, amaretti biscuits and curd ice cream (£6), which was summery and delicious. John said his set lemon cream with gooseberry, yoghurt sorbet and meringue was “one of the best desserts he’d ever eaten”. We were staying the night a mile or two inland so we walked the steep hill home past hedges blooming with valerian and pink campion, feeling very happy and well-fed. This is a very good restaurant indeed. The Old Coastguard, Mousehole, Cornwall 01736 731222

TODAY’S WORLD

Glass half full Google Glass has now been launched in the UK. Cue the inevitable concerns about how the futuristic frames might infringe on privacy laws. Katie Wright reports oogle Glass launched in UK at the end of June, but already the wearable computer has generated as much controversy as it has hype. Previously only available in the US, Glass is now on sale in the Google Play store (play.google.com) - but not to just anyone. You have to be over 18, a UK resident and able to stump up the £1000 asking price. Even then, the product is still technically a prototype, as users are asked to join the Glass Explorer programme and feedback on their experience. Once Explorers have got used to focusing on a display that hovers above their right eye (it can cause [actual] headaches at first) and hooked it up to their smartphone, they’ll be able to take photos and film video, get directions, read emails, send messages and more - all using voice commands. By uttering ‘OK Glass, record a video’ a wearer can film whatever they see in front of them. And therein lies the problem. The UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) says that users of wearable technology could breach the Data Protection Act by filming secretly, but only if it’s for business purposes.

G

Go into a shop and use Glass to take a photo of a TV you want to buy and that’s not a problem, but if a mystery shopper films their retail experience and gets paid for it, that’s another matter. Similarly, filming a cinema screen would be illegal for obvious reasons, and some cinemas have already announced they are banning Glass to deter movie pirates. That could be a bit of an overreaction, though, as the battery runs out after just 45 minutes of filming. The futuristic frames are also a no-no on the road, as it’s illegal to view a screen while driving. Unless, that is, the screen displays driving info, and Google has reportedly been in talks with the Department for Transport about making Glass safe for drivers in the future. Right now, it’s not clear how many Explorers the Glass makers have managed to entice as Google hasn’t released sales figures, but for some Brits the barriers to buying are more about shallowness than safety. Wearing a computer on your face, however small, may be standard in Silicon Valley, but how does it look in Sidmouth? A blog dedicated to ‘People who look cool wearing Google Glass’ suggests the answer: it’s completely blank.

[[ It may be standard in Silicon Valley, but what about in Sidmouth?

My Secret Westcountry Paul Jackson Paul Jackson makes and fires his elegant modernist ceramics in a riverside studio next to a medieval bridge in Helland, North Cornwall. As chairman of the Cornwall Crafts Association, Paul knows everyone who’s doing amazing artistic stuff in the county – and, a thing or two about off-the-beaten-track beauty spots You can see Paul Jackson’s work at www.paul-jackson.co.uk.

Pub: In winter, I love the Blisland Inn on Bodmin Moor, because it’s so authentic. I also go to the St Mabyn Inn, whose new management have smartened it up, but not got so posh that it’s lost the locals. My wife Rosie and I were at a loss when they shut The Atlantic in New Polzeath, which has the most stunning view – we are hoping it will reopen some day. Beach: I love Baby Bay near Polzeath, or Epp Haven between Lundy Bay and Port Quinn. At Epp Haven there are wild ponies grazing to the edge of the cliff. You do have to walk from the car but they’re more private, and great for swimming. I’m more of a swimmer than a surfer.

Event: I always enjoy the Rock Oyster Festival, which takes place this weekend at Dinham House near Wadebridge. It is such a great combination of entertainment and food. I think they’ve done a super job making it stylish and fun. We always see lots of our friends there.

Shop: If I were to say a clothing shop it would have to be a charity shop! I’m just not the dressy type, as you can probably tell from my picture.

Art: I can tell you a great place to buy local paintings and crafts though – Trelissick Gallery (Feock, near Truro) has a wonderful range of work and it’s a very chic operation. The grounds are

Picnic: Just keep it simple champagne and crisps.

THURSDAY Britain’s Poshest Nannies Mary Poppins is the quintessential nanny, but she had to learn her trade somewhere, and it was probably Norland College in Bath. Take a peek behind the scenes at Bath’s virtuous childcare training college, now turning out elite nannies for the 21 century. The college was founded in 1892 by Emily Ward, and has always had snob appeal. Today, these

graduates are sought-after by the rich and famous - including, most recently, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. It’s a college well-known for its rigorous rules, traditional uniform and clean white gloves - and at £13,000 a year, the pressure is on for its students to succeed.

Liz Hunt, Principal of Norland College today says, “I’m carrying forward a great history and tradition from 1892 that this one Victorian woman started, and we often have conversations about what she would think if she could see it now.” We think she’d be fascinated - as are we.

UTOPIA This gripping if violent tale of comic book prophecy returns to our screens as a treat for fans and newcomers alike. The opener takes us back to the 1970s, to see how the events of the 2013 series developed. We watch as scientific genius Philip Carvel meets Network boss Milner at a secret forum.

THE WORLD CUP FINAL (Match of the Day Live, BBC One, 7pm, FIFA World Cup Live 2014, ITV, 7pm)

It’s a fierce battle, and one that will dominate the front pages of everyone’s newspaper in the morning. Who’s it between? Well, not the teams featuring in the World Cup final, but rather BBC v ITV. Both channels will be broadcasting the showpiece match, which takes place at the famous Estadio do Maracana in Rio de Janeiro and kicks off at 8pm. The World Cup itself has been one of the best in recent memory. From the start, teams generally threw caution to the wind, opting to attack rather than sit back and defend, which led to some thrillingly open games. The outcome of this game is too close to call - all we know for sure is that nobody from the British Isles will be lifting the trophy.

UTOPIA (Channel 4, 10pm)

If you didn’t see the first series of Utopia when it was aired in early 2013, then you really missed a treat. It was a gripping tale told over six episodes, about a group of comic-book fans whose lives are thrown into turmoil after reading an unpublished graphic novel that is said to predict forthcoming devastating events. This time, we’re getting another six episodes, but we trust creator/writer Dennis Kelly to come up with something spectacular, although it’s sure to leave us wanting more. The first episode takes us back to the 1970s, to see how the events of the first series began and developed. It introduces us to Philip Carvel, a scientific genius who meets Milner, boss of shadowy organisation The Network, at a secret forum involving boffins from various walks of life.

THE MIMIC (Channel 4, 10pm)

Does Terry Mynott have the best job in telly? It’s very possible. You see, he’s managed to combine his two passions in life in the one programme - impersonations and acting - it’s not quite the usual nineto-five toil. The first series of The Mimic, in which Mynott stars as Martin Hurdle, a maintenance man who’s got an uncanny ability to mimic voices, went down a treat last year, so it’s no surprise at all that it’s back for a second run. This time around, Martin is struggling having ditched his job to become a professional mimic, however the job offers aren’t exactly rolling in. Martin’s son, Steven, has also been acting as his agent, but struggling to get over the death of his mother, he decides to take himself off travelling. That leaves Martin in a bit of a predicament...

She has enchanted many a child over the decades with her whimsical tales and far-fetched habits, but Mary Poppins is just a fictional character. Or is she? You will have to make up your own mind because the ladies we’re about to spend an hour in the company of here are about as close we’re going to get to the practically perfect nanny. This one-off programme checks in at Norland College, Bath’s quintessentially British 120-year-old childcare training college which purports to turn its pupils into elite 21st-century Mary Poppinsesque nannies. We follow the second-years, including 19-year-old Laura Styles, who has always wanted to be a Norland nanny, in their quest for the ultimate childcare perfection.

The Henry Wood Promenade Concerts, the largest classical music festival in the world, open this week with Edward Elgar’s biblical oratorio The Kingdom, a 90-minute performance which should wow the masses.

Over the course of the festival, the National Theatre’s War Horse Prom will commemorate the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War.

My life

[

man and boy

Mind your language

[

Phil Goodwin, father of James, four, sets a bad example otty mouths of the world watch out. Vladimir Putin has recently signed a new law in Russia outlawing swearing in the arts. This latest edict has provoked much amusement in our cross-cultural house, as well as more serious concern at this new form of censorship. After all, any move to roll out the ban to public places in Russia (not that far-fetched on Putin’s current form) could seriously curb the prolific output of my father-in-law Valera. He is a Russian builder who swears like, well… a Russian builder. I know his fondness for the profane better than anyone, having served an informal, miniapprenticeship in Concreting and Bad Language when we built a garden house together on his allotment in Sochi. Back home in Exeter, I too have been known to ‘slip into the vernacular’, as an old teacher of mine so politely once put it. Unfortunately, it now seems my son is also quite adept at spicing up his language with a bit of the old AngloSaxon. Like any responsible parent I am keen to stamp this out. But to tell the truth, it can be hard to keep a straight face on the rare occasions young James pipes up. Just recently, we were late for an appointment and driving through heavy traffic in Exeter when a dithering driver left me stuck at a red light. In the split second in between thought and reaction, a small voice cussed our bad luck from the back seat. And, I might add, with eloquence and perfect diction, for one so young. Good manners prevent me from pronouncing the phrase in print here, but let’s say it sounded like a reference to some distant waterway, in three clear syllables, something like ‘far canal’. Not funny to hear this, I know. Hands up. My fault. But, to be honest, I was almost biting my hand as I choked

back the laughter. Even I knew that would only encourage him to do it again. My wife, as I could clearly see, also saw the funny side of this unfortunate outburst, coming as it did from such an innocent and angelic source. But she soon snapped out of it and into

serious mum mode. “You know where he gets it from, don’t you?” she snapped. “It’s not just me,” I protested. “I have heard you swear and him repeat your words before.” “But not in Russian. He doesn’t know any bad words in Russian,” she protested. This, I have to admit is true. Wonderful though his bi-lingual abilities are, they do not stretch to naughty words in his mother’s native tongue. The only even halfway cheeky phrase he knows is Yolki-Polki – a fairly tame expression referring to fir tree branches and can broadly be said to mean “nonsense”. But overall, the subject is a tricky one. You tell your children not to use language only to use it yourself, albeit in moments of stress. So far, there has been no repeat of the “far canal” incident and no public examples at all. But how do you eradicate the practice? Shamed by my son’s reflection of my own limited and rather basic vocabulary, I have tried to modify my behaviour, in the spirit of Mr Putin’s crusade to rid TV, books, film and theatre from unsavoury words and rude references. The Kremlin has yet to issue a list of prohibited phrases, but I have been forced to draw up my own mental version. So now, when faced with stressful scenarios, such as stubbed toes, unexpected computer shutdowns, bad drivers and poor defending from Liverpool’s back four, I endeavour, in the rare occasions I succumb to the frustration, to utter slightly more socially acceptable phrases. They don’t adequately express my emotions, but the change is for the boy’s sake. And lo and behold, his most recent tantrum was spiced up with him saying, in the Devon accent he has picked up in pre-school, Oh bleddy hell, Daddy! Even that is a bit much really, so from now on, it’s probably going to have to be boiled down to “Oh sugar” or perhaps “blimey”. Flippin’ kids!
