Enjoy your Sunday...

We hope you are relaxing over the Sunday papers and having a gentle think about what to do in the week ahead. If career matters are on your mind, then you’ll be fascinated by Cornish craftswoman-turned-business guru Poppy Treffry, who tells how she set up her own, hugely successful, business in Newlyn (page 29). If your teenagers are picking up their exam results about now, then turn to page 14 for some inspiring stories of young Westcountry entrepreneurs.

Turns out going to university is not the only route to doing well, that’s for sure.

But life’s not all about work and nor is West magzine this week. Did you know that the first weekend in September is the most popular date for a wedding in the whole year? Find flattering ideas for what to wear on page 24.

Meanwhile Anne Swithinbank, expert panellist for Radio 4’s Gardeners’ Question Time explains how to get the best tomatoes out of your greenhouse (page 18). If you’ve got nasturtiums growing in your flower beds, then take some advice from TV chef Tim Maddams, who has some inspiring recipe ideas this week (page 28). Yes, sprinkle the flowers on salads, but how about a nasturtium leaf omelette? It’s different, fun and altogether delicious - rather like West magazine this week, we think.

Water warrior Meet Cornwall’s model turned environmental campaigner

he white water is relentless. “How long have you been surfing?” I ask, before duck-diving under a wave that has seemingly come from nowhere and is intent on making me better acquainted with the sea bed here at Mawgan Porth. I emerge, bedraggled, on the other side, just in time to watch Celine Gehret emerge as effortlessly as a seal alongside me, “16 years in total,” she smiles, not missing a beat.

Reading about this 33-year-old model, surfer and eco-campaigner before our interview, I was sure Celine would be unapproachable and intimidating. Indeed I did wonder whether conducting our interview in the ocean was, in fact, a good

Interview

Celine donned a ‘rubbish suit’ for a SAS marine litter campaign. It took two costume designers over two hours to fix the individual pieces of litter to her wetsuit.

idea. Instead, I find living proof that gentleness has a power of its own. Softly spoken, with brown wavy hair that falls down her back, and a turquoise O’Neill wetsuit Celine moves through the turbulent water with a quiet insistence. She looks over at me every now and again, making sure I am OK, and never once pulls ahead, even though I know she could have easily been out in the big waves 10 minutes ago.

Born in Switzerland, Celine is a four time Swiss National Surfing Champion. That might sound odd, given Switzerland’s lack of an ocean coast but she learnt the sport holidaying with her grandparents by the sea and honed her skills on a stationary wave on the River Reuss in her home country. Today, she lives in Cornwall and has just been selected to be a brand ambassador for O’Neill, the global surfwear label.

In her time, she has competed in both the World Surfing Games and the European Championships. She came to this country to study for a Surf Science and Technology degree at the University of Plymouth in 2002, and soon after was picked to be the female face of another top surf brand, Animal. Between 2007 and 2010 she was also the go-to model for Gul International.

It’s quite a CV. She’s happy now to have left her competitive surfing days behind her, she tells me as we bob about in the water on our boards. “Truth is, I never really enjoyed competing, and I don’t miss it.” She has now settled in Newquay with her partner of 10 years, professional surfer and current British Champion, Alan Stokes.

“There is something magical about just enjoying the ocean that 20 minute heats can’t compare with, a freedom and a sense of connection.

“Success in the surf industry used to be all about results, but these days lifestyle images are so valuable in the social media landscape that brands will often collaborate with people like me, who they feel will connect to their audience.”

Building and measuring influence is a key part of global surfwear campaigns, and Celine’s face is fast becoming a recognisable one, thanks to her selection as a brand ambassador for O’Neill.

She could, of course, live her dream right now.

But instead Celine is using her increased profile

to raise awareness for the other passion in her life, the environment.

Celine is an ambassador for both the National Trust and Surfers Against Sewage (SAS). As an organisation, SAS is Cornwall-based and dedicated to protecting the UK’s oceans. This year alone SAS hopes to motivate 7,500 volunteers to clean British beaches. It is also the only organisation providing real-time water quality alerts to protect surfers and bathers from sewer overflow pollution.

This issue came into sharp focus in June this year. A sewage spill at Godrevy beach on the 11

Celine_Gerhet.indd 11

12/08/2014 18:43:26

Interview

Cornish north coast in the last weekend of June meant that the Ten Board Challenge (a womenonly surf competition held in association with The National Trust) was cancelled and the beach closed. SAS is leading the calls to reduce these so-called “emergency” discharges.

To help the campaign along, Celine has recently been pictured wearing a lessthan-enviable full-body rubbish suit. “It’s very glam,” she jokes. “But it’s a cause I care very much about. Not a lot can make me wear a pink colander for a hat.”

The National Trust is an organisation gaining a perhaps unexpected popularity among surfers, thanks to its custodianship of some country’s best surf beaches. “Historically, people have associated the National Trust with monuments and listed buildings,” says Celine. “This is a great way to get a new, younger, audience to buy in to the idea of preserving natural beauty.”

Recently, National Trust produced a dreamlike short film for the London Surf Film Festival that features Celine gliding through green glassy waves off the Cornish coast. “We can all enjoy the coast, even if we’re not in the water. You can go for nice walks and just embrace where we live.”

But if this all sounds like a wonderfully laid back lifestyle, think again. When I meet Celine, she is spending the weekend mentoring a group of 15 women surfers at a Surfgirl Waves & Workouts weekend event, no mean feat. “And the admin side of being a professional surfer and model is something people don’t often think about,” she says.

On an average day, she has articles to write, sponsors to correspond with, social media to update, as well as, of course, modelling work to plan and prepare for. Indeed, this modern-day mermaid’s schedule is so full that here, in among the breakers, is the best opportunity she has to chat. It’s a good thing I packed a wetsuit.

I watch her catch a wave in, her face lighting up with a smile as she gathers speed. This girl’s in her element.

Celine’s best body tips Celine is as beautiful on the outside as she is on the inside. How does she do it?

My diet rules are pretty simple. No processed food. No fried food. Plenty of raw veg. No meat. Local and sustainably caught fish only.

I’m 33 years old, so keeping at peak fitness takes work. I surf a lot. Yoga and stretching are key as you get older too.

An example of a day’s meals: Breakfast: Oat porridge with seasonal fruits and soy milk Snacks:

Banana/nuts/trail mix/fresh fruits

Lunch:

I like including eggs, healthy salads and even chickpeas in my afternoon meals

Dinner:

Sustainably sourced fish, brown rice, lots of fresh vegetables

Treats:

I do love a bit of Swiss Chocolate every now and then, dark chocolate with chilli is my favourite, yum!

TEEN BOSSES

Young money So the A Level results are out and GCSEs will be with us next week. But academic qualifications aren’t everything, as our Westcountry teenpreneurs reveal...

By Catherine Barnes

t’s the time of year when many teenagers are contemplating the future. Thursday was A-level results day, while there’s still a few nail-biting days left before GCSE candidates find out how they did.

College or uni will be the next step for many, but if your own teen is less than enthused by the idea, then don’t despair. Further education was never the gameplan of these bright Westcountry teenagers on their route to success.

Victoria Hawkins, Max Birtles and Kerry Roberts are all determined to make their own way in the world. All now run thriving businesses. They’ve made their parents proud and couldn’t be happier being their own bosses, as they explain here.

People VICTORIA SPONGE Mad about baking, what else could Victoria Hawkins call her retro Dartmoor tea room than Victoria Sponge?

Aged just 19 when she revamped a former florist’s shop in Chagford and opened its doors in March this year, Victoria Hawkins’ new venture has proved a hit. The tea room, called Victoria Sponge, has been bustling all summer.

“It’s been amazing,” says Victoria. “I can’t believe how busy I’ve been. But I think a lot of people assume I’m not the owner, because I’m so young.”

Victoria begins work a couple of hours before she opens the shop every morning, first rustling up a batch of scones, described by many locals as ‘legendary’. By the time the first customers arrive, there’s an irresistible aroma of freshly-baked cakes, flapjacks and brownies wafting out of the door.

She runs the business mostly single-handed, baking, brewing coffee and waiting tables. Mum Angela lends a pair of hands when things get frantic and Victoria’s best friend has been known to help out with the washing up when she pops in for a chat.

Victoria did a number of jobs after leaving school at 16, while developing a reputation for her homemade cakes, which she initially sold at farmers’ markets.

“It’s all going as I planned,” she reflects upon being her own boss. “I’ve got lots of friends training to be nurses or vets, which makes sense. But if you’re just going to uni just to study an academic subject, I don’t see the point. You come out with no job and that much older. That would scare me.”

Victoria still lives at home, but is currently househunting with boyfriend Chris, 24 and is looking forward to getting her foot of the property ladder.

“It’s nice to be able to build a career early in life,” she reflects. “I think nowadays, if you want to go for something, you’ve got to do it yourself. It’s so hard to get a job at all, let alone a well-paid one.”

KERRY ROBERTS Kerry Roberts confounded age and gender stereotypes when she became the local butcher in Bradworthy, North Devon aged 18, two years ago almost to the day.

“Working in a butcher’s shop isn’t the kind of thing a 14-year-old girl would normally take on. But the more I worked here, the more I liked it,” says chirpy 20-year old Kerry.

Working Saturdays and holidays she learned the trade hands-on, before leaving school to study food manufacturing at Duchy College – a choice made substantially due to the fact Kerry could keep her horse, Bullet, on campus.

Kerry’s keen interest in product development and food industry flair impressed Westaways Sausages, who offered a bespoke role in the Newton Abbot company to her.

But around the same time, the butcher’s shop where she had been working was threatened with closure. Her boss invited her to buy him out – which she did.

“I’ve always been a saver,” explains Kerry,

who funded the investment herself and was overwhelmed by the support she had locally.

“I couldn’t have let the shop close – it’s a part of village life.”

Today, Kerry makes her own-recipe burgers and sausages from local meat. Pork, honey and apricot is her best-selling sausage recipe. With customers queuing out of the door at Christmas, the entire Roberts family mucks in to help at the busiest times of year. Brother Danny, 24, is also enterprising and set up in business as a farrier two years ago.

“We’re all very close,” says Kerry, who still lives at home and prefers a day out showing the family’s two Shire horses to a night on the tiles. She has just hired her first part-time employee, which gives her a bit of free time to spend with the horses.

The Bradworthy community is firmly behind Kerry and word of mouth reports bring orders from further afield. “People have been so good,” she says. “Local business owners even offer to help carry pigs and hindquarters of beef in for me when I’m unloading. We all support each other and I couldn’t ask for better customers.”

People

MAX BIRTLES

Max Birtles was 19 when he launched his clothing label Dream But Do Not Sleep.

He lives in Bovey Tracey, Devon, with parents Tina and Norman.

“Sometimes, when I’ve been working seven days a week and my [student] mates are boozing it up with free money it’s a little challenging. But I’ve never regretted doing what I’ve done,” says former Exeter College student Max, who left full time education after his A-levels.

“There’ve been a lot of challenges. Starting a business with no experience is a difficult thing to do but I’d do the same again.

“Dad worked in retail and when I told him my plan, he said ‘Go for it!’ although mum was more of a worried mother about how I’d cope. But they’ve always been really supportive and that’s been a massive help.”

Max, now aged 21, is currently putting the finishing touches to his autumn/winter collection of caps, tees and hoodies. These, along with printed jerseys – a new introduction for the label next season – make up the Dream But Do Not Sleep’s core range, sold via its own website and a boutique outlet on e-tail fashion website Asos.

The designs are full of youthful energy urban, edgy and with loud prints, targeted at a following of under-25s who have helped spread the word about the label via the music scene and social media. In an exciting coup for the label, a well-known rap star from Brooklyn, called Joey Bada$$, donned a Dream But Do Not Sleep logo t-shirt when he played at Dublin’s Longitude festival last month.

When his friends return to uni next month, Max will be unpacking the first consignments of his latest range, before working hard to get them in shops for Christmas.

“It’s always a high point finally getting to see the samples and seeing how my designs work,” he says. He will also be showcasing his latest look book and samples at forthcoming industry trade shows. “I’m currently trying to get good independent retailers involved,” he explains. “It’s a nice environment to do business, as people want to see you succeed. It’s a good vibe.”

REALITY CHECK The National Union of Students says that university life costs students an average £22,189 every year. Employment statistics reveal that a fifth of graduates are currently unemployed or in low-paid or voluntary jobs, with jobless rates among the under 24s more than twice the overall rate.

Question time with Anne Anne responds to West reader’s garden concerns and queries I’ve been trying hard to grow my own kiwi fruits and have large vines of both a male and a female type. So far we’ve only had a few smallish fruits and this year none seem to have set - why?

Q

These large climbing plants need a fair bit of pruning and training to help them flower well.

A system of main stems trained espalier fashion is best, then laterals from the main stems should develop and be stopped after five leaves to produce productive spurs. Mulch plants a couple of times a year and apply a general purpose fertiliser in spring to give them some oomph. They need a lot of water and don’t like competition from nearby trees and shrubs.

They won’t set well in a cold or dry spring and need watering during droughts to produce fruits of any quality.

Can you solve an argument? Ivy does Q its best to grow into our trees but while I think we should leave it as a natural wildlife habitat, my husband says we should take it off as it could damage the trees. Who’s right?

In a way you are both corrcet. Ivy does create a good habitat for insects and spiders which in turn are food for birds. Stems can also branch out, making nesting and roosting sites against otherwise bare trunks. Ivy is one of the food plants for the caterpillars of the holly blue butterfly. Its flowers are nectar-rich and its fruits eaten by birds. I would say, why not let ivy grow into short-lived, weedy or old trees nearing their last few years? We have it on our crab apple, an old Japanese cherry and large Christmas trees.

Maybe keep it off smart or significant specimen trees, though.

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

• Nip out the growing tips of greenhouse tomatoes after six trusses or when they reach the roof.

Energy will go into ripening the rest of the fruit.

• Sow quick-growing cut and come again mixtures into borders, pots or crates every three weeks if you’ve run out of home grown

salad. You could be cutting young leaves in as little as 3 weeks.

• Make sure rhododendrons, camellias and witch hazels receive plenty of water because these and other spring flowering shrubs set their flower buds now and should not be under stress.

good flavour. An indoor variety. Simpson’s Seeds (01985 845004 www.simpsonsseeds.co.uk) ‘Gardeners Delight’ Heavy crops of smallish rounded tomatoes are borne in long trusses under glass or outdoors and have a fine proper tomato flavour. Edwin Tucker (01364 652233 www. edwintucker. co.uk)

Sow hardy lettuce varieties and also rocket, land cress, lamb’s lettuce, mizuna and mustards for winter salads. For plants to crop until spring, plant a trowel length apart under glass or outdoors to fit under a cloche.

Pot on any house plants that can’t wait until spring. They’ll have time to put roots down into new compost before shorter days and fluctuating temperatures slow their growth. This will especially benefit pot bound ferns, palms and azaleas (which need ericaceous compost), to help them withstand the drying effects of central heating during winter.

Pared back perfection Try the New World look for your Westcountry home uilt with a cladding of corrugated iron, The Counting House looks like something from Australia, except it’s on Dartmoor.

Just like the Victorian houses to be seen in the New World, The Counting House near Yelverton can trace its roots to the mining industry.

For 100 years, it was home to the wage captain who paid the men who worked the clay pits on the moor. But it was rusting away when nurse Zoe Hope and her husband Mike – a partner at Exeter’s Roderick James Architects – came to its rescue seven years ago. They have since turned it

into a light, bright four-bedroom family home.

“The house had enormous potential when we bought it, but little did we realise how much more was below the surface,” says Mike, whose practice specialises in contemporary timber buildings.

“It was only when we started stripping the walls and ceilings did we realise all of the original pencil-bead timber boarding was intact below.

“We’ve always liked the New England painted timber look and the original interior seemed to suit this approach perfectly.”

The Hopes have complemented the original building with a larch-clad 21st century extension – connected to the older part of the house by a

spacious living area.

With eco-features including an air-source heating system, along with a wood burning stove, the Hopes – who are now planning a new self-build project – have made the most of the Counting House’s heritage and endowed it with a 21st century legacy.

MODERN MANORS

Enjoy your trip...

[

Kishanda Fulford logs on to TripAdvisor, with caution ccasionally, if I am in need of information, I read reviews of restaurants, bed and breakfast establishments, and hotels. Clearly some of them have been written by the owners or their friends. I found one about a Bed and Breakfast in the countryside up north. On reading this I thought, would a real person write the following about a house they had stayed in? ‘The garden is well maintained and has some wonderfully scented, rambling roses, cascading through the trees. A selection of these greeted us in a vase in our room which was a very thoughtful touch and more vases joined us at the breakfast table.’

Or how about this: ‘The rooms were so comfortable and clean. The local gentry came to dinner in the evening and the conversation was as good as the food and wine. I really enjoyed the rare breed hens wondering at my feet and the lovely horses ridden by beautiful girl grooms.’ The spelling of ‘wondering’, by the way, is on Trip-upadvisor, and is not mine.

I was also intrigued by the Chiltern Firehouse restaurant in London. Celebrities - or should that be celebraties - are clamouring to dine in this old fire station. I decided to look it up. Curiousity, as we know, kills the pussy cat. People are so desperate to be seen in this restaurant that they will eat at 5pm. This, I think, is a meal eaten in no man’s land. It is too late for lunch and too early for dinner. I suspect that when these early diners arrived home they had to raid their fridge before they went to bed.

Here is one comment about this particular establishment: ‘The rose arrived. I personally feel rose shouldn’t be at room temperature so that had to go back. So the waiter decided we should all

O

[

start on the red wine, nice of him to decide that.

At this point it was clear the four drinks that we had been told would be brought the seven metres from the bar for us had got lost in the post too.’

Some other poor people were hassled out of the restaurant itself and into the garden, where they waited for this: ‘The warm cheese dessert was brought out cold, with the waiter trying to tell us

[

It apparently slept four in comfort. I can tell you it did not.

Who would have the sofa bed? it was hot, and both of us resting a finger on it and telling him that it definitely wasn’t...’ So what was there to actually eat while the staff, as reported on one post, held ‘staff meetings’ over the diners’ tables? ‘My starter of salad with beets and pecans consisted of a bowl of leaves, 2 miniscule pieces of beetroot and 1/2 a pecan which I found at the bottom of my bowl.’

I think even I could cook a better starter than that. This poor chap would definitely have had to raid the fridge when he got home.

So, while we all might secretly wish we were at the Chiltern Firehouse with the stars, we now know better.

On our recent trip to Barcelona, I had to trust the reviews I read about the ‘compact’

apartment we decided to rent. I had chosen the ‘best place’ in the whole city of Barcelona, which apparently slept four people in comfort. I can tell you it did not. The second ‘bed’ was a sofa bed and was one that would only be truly comfortable for a wriggly four year old. As there only three of us, we could hack it. But, I thought to myself, if we had booked the apartment and two couples had arrived … who would have had the ‘pull out, pull nearly flat-ish’ bed and, who would have got the more decent double bed?

This bed, I might add, was a mattress on a hard modern base and in such a tight space that my ankles are blue with bruises I sustained as I negotiated my way around it.

But what Trip-up failed to mention was that it really was in the most heavenly place. The flat had little balconies off the bedrooms where you could watch the Spanish walk their dogs, enjoy their tapas and shop.

Here I could hang my wet swimmers, watch my temporary neighbours water their plants on their balconies and, at three in the morning be woken by the street washers who take joy in putting their van’s ‘I am reversing’ bleepers on even if they are going forwards. All night. Just to annoy people like me. Shall I mention it on Trip-up?

National health organisation The College of Optometrists is calling on us to become more sun-savvy and reduce the potential impact on our eyes.

Too much sunlight can damage the retina and lens, which can lead to worrying conditions including both cataracts and also age-related macular degeneration, which is the most significant cause of blindness in the Western world.

“I swim outdoors in the sea, lakes, rivers or pools at least four times a week. I love the feeling of being outdoors in among the elements and never wear a wetsuit – even in the depths of winter. I actually like the colder water and have swum even when the water is coated in ice.

This year I became an official Ice Swimmer when I swam a mile in four degree water at Kit Hill

A best-selling brand in Singapore for ages, Ginvera has been developing a cult following since its launch in the UK. Take a minute to work its rinse-off Exfoliating Marvel Gel with green tea into dry skin with dry fingers, to prep a ‘blank canvas’ before applying your face. (50g, £14.96 at www.janiro.co.uk.)

Unlock your inner Goth with a spritz of Forsaken ( £45 100ml at Tesco), a fragrance inspired by HBO’s vampire drama, True Blood.

Catherine: Unexpectedly sweet, but easy does it – too generous a squirt has an almost eternal life and lasts and lasts...

Tilly: Smells a bit like Charlie, gone gothic.

Catherine: Gentler than a conventional scrub, it can be used daily or become part of a routine twice a week. Good stuff.

Tilly: It’s effectively ridded me of some blackheads without feeling like sandpaper.

Shiny shiny Packed with natural plant ingredients Surya Brasil’s five-strong range of colour-fix shampoo (250ml, £9.99) and conditioners have been formulated to moisturise and revive treated hair to restore shine and vitality. (Find at www. yourtonic.com).

Catherine: Hot and humid weather can leave already dry locks feeling wiry if you regularly colour. The shampoo’s light, while the conditioner is thick and really needs to be massaged in. It rinsed out to leave hair feeling incredibly soft.

Wedding guest If you are invited to a September wedding this year, here’s our guide to looking your fabulous best all through the big day. Without eclipsing the bride, of course... eptember and, more specifically, the first weekend in September, is the most popular time of the whole year to get married, according to the website www.confetti.co.uk.

And hot on the heels of the first weekend of the month, the second most popular wedding date is you’ve guessed it - the second weekend in September.

It’s time, then to have a think about what to wear. If you’re a bride, we hope you’ve got that sorted out by now.

But if you’re a guest, you may still be dithering. It’s a tricky one, because the weather might be gorgeous - or it might not. Let us recommend to you a company called Lovarni which specialises in a huge range of flattering occasionwear, sold online. They offer next day delivery and there’s a very good sale going on right now. They also understand why you’d need a little bolero top in a huge range of colour choices, just to pop on over a pretty dress if the temperature plummets.

It’s also sometimes nice to have a slightly more comfy shoe option, if your day is going to include standing around nibbling canapes, followed by bopping to the band. We like these grey studded mid-height heels from Lotus, for this very reason. Colourwise, we all know not to wear a white dress, but you can pair a pretty pair of white heels with a cool and pale fascinator.

Now all you need to do is pick a wedding present.

EATING OUT

Artigiano

By Becky Sheaves

ears ago, when I worked in London, everyone in our office got very excited about a new place opening just down the road from us. Called Starbucks, it was very different from your usual café. So much so that it wasn’t even called a café. It was a coffee shop. Crucial difference, that.

Starbucks was, if I dredge back through my dim memories, influenced by the coffee appreciation movement that started in Seattle in America.

Remember Niles Crane, ordering ‘double decaf, non-fat latte, medium foam, dusted with just the faintest whisper of cinnamon’ in Frasier’s Café Nervosa?

Before long, I too was popping out every morning for a “tall skinny latte”, with a completely straight face from someone who was not a waitress but a “barista”, which I soon learned was not an Italian barrister. When I moved home to the South West, I missed my daily cardboard bucket of milky coffee. I remember my husband John going to London for the day. “Have a Starbucks for me,” I said to him. “A what?” he replied. Yes, back in 2002, there were people in the Westcountry who had no idea what a Starbucks was.

Fast forward a dozen years and Starbucks is everywhere, and not nearly so special any more.

Eat/Drink 4 of the best Good cafés

To drink, I went for the freshly-made juices, picking “The Cleanser”. This was a combination of carrot, lemon and apple (£2.95). It could have been horrible, but it wasn’t. It was refreshing and very good. I worried about the fact that all the juices are served in a disposable plastic beakers, to match the plastic boxes of salad. Not very ecofriendly. Deborah’s “Energy Boost” was made with similar ingredients plus added fresh ginger.

It might have been even better than mine, if such a thing were possible.

Another difference between Artigiano and other coffee chains is that they offer table service here. So there is much less queueing. You can pick up some items such as the cakes and salads as you pay, but they will bring over your coffees

and juices to your table. Very nice. And the service was friendly and efficient, too. In the evenings, by the look of it, the place becomes a proper bar, with live music events.

We finished with two good lattes at £2.75 each and a fruit salad. This was simply chunks of pineapple with blueberries, but the addition of shredded fresh mint and a lemony syrup made it rather special. Then we split a raspberry bakewell tart which, to be perfectly honest, was nothing to write home about. But overall we agreed that this new eatery is a definite asset to Exeter’s food and drink scene. I wonder if there will be one on every British high street in years to come?

PHOTOGRAPHY: EMILY WHITFIELD-WICKS

Crafty business Gillian Molesworth meets the Cornish craftswoman who has turned her hobby into a successful brand ost of us need to learn how to make money – but few of us do it as literally as Penzance’s Poppy Treffry.

Okay, so she doesn’t make actual money – that would be illegal. But her handmade textile and printed goods have sold like wildfire for over 10 years, and her quirky “by the sea”themed designs are instantly recognisable.

Would it surprise you to learn that she taught herself to sew?

“I did do a textiles degree, but they didn’t teach sewing,” says Poppy, 37. “I did sewing at school but gave it up as soon as I could take woodwork. Most of what I do is selftaught. I don’t have any proper sewing skills.”

Artistically, maybe that has freed her – Poppy takes an unorthodox, mixed technique of quilting, patchwork, free-style stitching, and print.

Her self-taught skills have built her enough coin in 10 years to maintain a shop in St Ives, a workshop in Penzance, six factory workers, and three freelance workers. Not bad.

As well as the local gift shop and boutique circuit, Poppy’s designs have made it as far as the USA, where her tea towels are carried by posh

M

goods shop Anthropologie, as well as various boutiques (yes, most of them by the sea).

However, she has firmly maintained the small business approach – especially when it comes to her factory. No big industrial sewing machines here, just Poppy’s much-loved collection of vintage Singers.

“I’m into vintage,” says Poppy. Looking around her workshop, I decide that could be an understatement. Singer cases from the 1930s and 40s are stacked on shelves, along with old fish boxes – Poppy looks out for these in Penzance.

Wooden wine crates hold her scraps of fabric in a riot of colour. It’s a bit weird to glimpse into the office and see an iPad, Kindles, a phone, and other symbols of the modern world.

But of course, online retail is a huge part of business today, especially for small designer-makers trying to reach a larger market.

And Poppy’s range is expanding, it’s not just kettle cosies and tea towels any more.

She’s making bags, cushions, make-up cases, cards, posters, and doing design collaboration with local businesses, such as St Eval Candles and Pure Nuff Stuff.

Poppy’s designs have made it to the US, where her tea towels are in posh boutiques

“We are growing every year,” said Poppy.

“When I first started I would work late most days.

Now I’m trying to delegate things so that I’m not always the lynchpin.” Poppy is finding her priorities have changed with the birth of her daughter, Biba, now five. Unusual name: “I thought if she was going to grow up in Penzance she ought to have a bit of London glamour,” laughs Poppy, who herself grew up near Altarnun on Bodmin Moor.

What is it exactly, I wonder as I gaze around the workshop, that distinguishes Poppy’s designs from the crowd? “Some people say my designs are cute. But I don’t try to be cute – I like a bit of humour as well.”

So, you can “make” money. All you need is a bit of flair, hard work, a new computer and, maybe, an old sewing machine.

You can see Poppy’s designs on www.poppytreffry.co.uk

People

My Secret Westcountry Nick Rodda Nick Rodda, 45, is the fifth generation of his family to run the iconic Cornish dairy business Rodda’s, famous for its clotted cream. He lives in Scorrier, near Redruth, with wife Marie and children William, 21, Alex, 18 and Edward, 10.

Pub: I like pubs that are unusual or different. We always go with friends to the Pandora Inn on the Fal River, Mylor and enjoy a drink on the pontoons while the kids go crabbing. The Star Inn in St Just is tiny and a real old traditional pub.

No food, but you might hear a trio singing old Cornish folk songs and there’s a great atmosphere.

Day out: The beach. We’ll take a picnic and the kids will go surfing.

You don’t need to do anything – just turn up. Even in the winter, we’ll go for a walk on the beach and watch the waves crashing in. Porthleven beach is amazing, summer or winter. I also like to do a spot of photography – it gets you out.

[ [ It has to be The Royal Cornwall Show. You get such a buzz from it, it’s where Cornwall comes together and is a real celebration.

Shop: Etherington’s in Scorrier, is a great local farm shop. They sell great meat and on a sunny day, we’ll say – barbecue! Lobbs (at St Ewe, near St Austell) and many other farm shops sell a wealth of Westcountry produce – things you didn’t even know existed.

Nick Rodda

Walk: Land’s End to Porthcurno, where the cliffs are wild and rugged. It’s a longish walk (five and a half miles) and I like to take in Nanjizal beach and Penberth Cove. You feel like you’re in another place.

Beach: Crantock Beach (near Newquay) is a vast open space at low tide, where the kids can play.

I swam there recently and the sea was, honestly, really warm.

The Star Inn, St Just

Event: It has to be the Royal Cornwall Show. You get such a buzz from it, it’s where Cornwall comes together and we promote new products, such as our Cornish custard, there. A great meeting place and celebration for friends.

Scientists have been analysing the remains of Richard III, which were discovered under a car park in Leicester. Now we can really find out to what extent his infamous spinal deformity would have affected his ability to be a warrior king. Could he really have led the charge at the Battle of Bosworth, killing several of his enemies, before dying at the hands of Henry Tudor’s army?

Using the latest scientific techniques, experts have been able to work out whether he could have used a sword, worn 30 kilos of armour, ridden a medieval warhorse and survived the exertions of battle.

They’ve also pieced together his diet and revealed his lifestyle in his final years, with surprising results. They’ve been helped in their investigations by 27-year old Richard Smee, above, acting as a living body double for practical experiments and reconstructions.

My Online Bride (Channel 4, 10pm)

An estimated 15 million Brits are currently looking for a partner online. This programme follows British men of all ages as they head abroad in search of a wife.

From Thai romance tours to speeddating in the Ukraine, will they find ‘the one’? And having parted with thousands of pounds, can they really put a price on love?

Chris is a 46-year-old divorcee who looks after his two kids. Having almost no time for a love life at home, he has decided to try his luck on one of the increasingly popular Bangkok romance tours.

Twenty-six-year-old Mike is looking for a wife in the Ukraine, a country sometimes called the ‘Bride Basket of Europe’. He has arranged to stay with Tatyana after weeks of chatting on Skype. The introduction agency advises against getting intimate too quickly, but will Mike decide to follow their advice?

The Great British Bake Off (BBC1, 8pm)

It’s Week Three and the remaining 10 bakers get ready to brave bread...

Knowing that judge Paul Hollywood will be watching their every move (and prove), the bakers must bake 12 perfect rye bread rolls, shaped in any way they like, using as much tricky rye flour as they dare.

Paul is enigmatic in the Technical Challenge, telling the bakers to “be patient” with his recipe for ciabatta loaves. But which bakers will listen to his words of wisdom and which ones will lose their nerve?

Finally, competitors have their work cut out in the Showstopper Challenge, making a filled centrepiece loaf. Mary Berry (above) and Paul are looking for real talent and natural instinct, creativity and baking brilliance – but who got has what it takes?

Boomers (BBC1, 9pm)

This comedy series with an all-star cast follows the ups and downs of three couples living in Thurnemouth - Norfolk’s only West-facing resort.

Carol (Paula Wilcox) and Trevor (James Smith) have got non-communication down to such a fine art that if Trevor spent a weekend away, Carol wouldn’t notice.

But tonight it’s their 40th wedding anniversary. Joyce (Alison Steadman) has organised a celebratory lunch at an upmarket gastropub.

Her carefully laid plans are thrown when Maureen (Stephanie Beacham) turns up with her mum, Joan (June Whitfield), who really shouldn’t be drinking.

Meanwhile, Carol announces she’s made a decision. One that could ruin not just this anniversary but every one to come - unless Joyce and Maureen can change her mind in time.

Find a comfy place on (or behind) the sofa as Peter Capaldi steps out of the Tardis and into his first adventure – in Victorian London - as the long-running series’ hotly anticipated twelfth Time Lord.

The new Doctor arrives to find a dinosaur on the loose in the Thames, while there is also a spate of deadly spontaneous combustions. The Doctor has changed, so will he and companion Clara’s friendship survive as they embark on a terrifying mission into the heart of an alien conspiracy?

Peter, who’;s best known for starring in cult satire The Thick of It, says he was ‘frightened and excited’ at the prospect of becoming Doctor’s newest incarnation: “It’s frightening to take on the challenge of this role, but at the same time it’s exhilarating because you are getting to step out the TARDIS as Doctor Who. And that’s a great position to be in.”

My life

[

man and boy

Gone to the pub...

[

Phil Goodwin finds himself a beer-drinking home from home t’s that time of year again for the annual family holiday to see the relatives in Russia: relief for the wife and a chance for me to be the outsider. Arrangements have been made, the passports dusted off and visas renewed as our summer odyssey begins.

The journey to my wife’s city of birth, Sochi (remember the Winter Olympics?) is immense.

Complicated by petty prejudices (flying in the middle of the night – me) and irrational fears (flying on internal Russian airlines – her) we find ourselves on a 48-hour trip from Exeter St David’s, via Gatwick to Moscow then overland on a 24-hour, double-decker sleeper train south to the Black Sea resort. Thank God our air-conditioning worked okay – three carriages away in Wagon Nine it was knackered and the temperature was in the mid-30s. Outside the heat was brutal, in the 40s.

The lengthy trip through what appears to be an endless forest was spiced up slightly by the brief crossing into Ukraine then a nervous hour or two rattling along the border within mortar shell distance of fierce fighting across the east, the self-proclaimed rebel stronghold.

Young James slept through the encounter along with his mum, while I monitored the situation from the safety of the top deck restaurant bar, kept company by ticket holders from Wagon Nine, many of whom had taken to strong drink, mostly cognac, to combat the stifling heat. From what I could see, all the action was inside the locomotive as it made its way south.

So we arrived in good spirits and keen to see how the place looks after the Olympics. You really don’t ever want the honour of hosting the festival of winter sports. This once genteel outpost of the empire – Turkey is just a ferry ride away - was turned into a dirty building site with horrendous traffic jams and regular power and water cuts for five or six years while

I

they built the ski resort and Olympic park from scratch. Imagine building the London Olympic park in Torquay then creating the Alpine resort of Méribel on Dartmoor and you have an idea what $50 billion bought. But now the dust has literally settled, things are quieter, more expensive and still reassuringly odd.

Enjoying the rare pleasure of a baby sitter, James was left in the care of Granny Nadya on the second night so we could take a wander along the sea front in peace. We stopped to peruse the menu at the shiny new San Remo complex only to move right along after realising the cheapest beer cost £7 and there didn’t seem to be a bottle of wine under 2,500 roubles (about £40).

And so, 1,900miles from home, we find ourselves in an Irish Pub. No fictitious character name, just called Irish Pub. As a Celt and a Catholic I am heartened to see the clover and St Patrick in there. The showroom dummy in kilt and busby, however, left me more than a little confused. But a glass mirror bearing the lion and unicorn crest of the UK? This could be the worst Irish pub in the world.

Then, to add insult, “your man” behind the bar sets down my “pint” of Harp a full centimetre short of the half-litre measure. “I’m not having that,” I tell the wife. “Not for five quid.”

“Well you better tell him to top it up,” she laughs, refusing to help.

I consider threatening the Weights and Measures Act then remember where I am. So I call the guy and give it my best shot in Russian – “Mojna…choot choot yishor” (Maybe, a little bit more). He pulls a face but does it anyway and slides it back. It’s closer but still shy of the mark. “Thanks a million,” I tell him, in my best Dublin accent, just glad I didn’t order the Guinness.
