Something for everyone

I must admit, knitting was never my forte. I made a pair of purple fingerless gloves for myself when I was at school but discovered I had painstakingly created them with two left hands. It wasn’t the beginning of a lifelong hobby. Unlike Exeter’s Belinda Harris-Reid, who took up knitting just four years ago. She now runs her own company employing 30 artisan knitters and has created Arran cushions for the Queen. She’s also a Big Brother survivor - you may remember her being vilified for snoring on the C4 show. Turn to page 10 to see how she has bounced back - and the chance to win a pair of her hand-knitted gloves. In a silk/cashmere/ alpaca mix, they are seriously luxurious. Unlike the ones I made back in the day. Meanwhile, our cover girl Elise Yuill, a folk singer from Plymouth, is about to release her first record. She’s had to overcome serious stage fright to achieve her dreams. Read all about it on page 14. Clue: it involves yoga. I’m running out of space to tell you about the other West treats in store this week. Think rosemary shortbread (28), fabulous winter boots (p24), the facts on e-cigarettes (p29) and so much more (everywhere).

Story of my life... Time for a spot of outdoor education took a long walk on Bodmin Moor with my son Freddy, nine. While trying to find an elusive trail from our “Short(ish) Walks on Bodmin Moor” book, we came across an intriguing sight: a cow’s skull. Someone had picked it up off the ground and placed it on top of a granite boulder, atop a natural point. It looked like a “These are flat for grinding warning, or a sculpture. grass,” I pointed out. “They’re Freddy’s instinct was to skirt different from a dog’s teeth, it, but I love an opportunity for aren’t they?” a little educational-based posiFreddy nodded. “They’re tive parenting. “Come and have a loose,” he said, and they were, a look,” I said. “It’s quite clean – I bit.

BELINDA HARRIS-REID

knit Evicted from the Big Brother house after just two weeks, Exeter’s mum-of-two Belinda Harris-Reid has raised two knitting needles to her detractors and started a wildly successful craft business

By Becky Sheaves

ack in the day when reality TV show Big Brother was primetime viewing and the whole nation debated endlessly who should be evicted every Friday, a self-proclaimed “small, round person” bounced into the Big Brother house wearing lots of eyeliner and some bright red lipstick. Not to mention a somewhat eyecatching Union Jack dress. It was Belinda Harris-Reid, a mum-of-two from Exeter. Back then - in 2008 - she was a 44-yearold trained jazz singer and theatre performer. Despite putting in sterling work in the BB house - with tasks involving singing for an hour and cycling for her dinner - Belinda is probably best remembered for her snoring. She was nick-named by the other housemates “Belinda-snorus”. But then Belinda, who lives in Exeter, was a happily-married mum of two who was not seeking fame and fortune. “I just thought it would be fun – and it was,” she says when we meet. “I was 20 years older than most of the contestants and I knew I wouldn’t win. But a friend and I were running a theatre and arts event in Exeter. We wanted to attract a larger audience beyond the same old 300 people who came to every one of our shows. And it worked – after Big Brother three times as many people came along.” Suffice to say, Belinda walked away from the BB house with her head held high, and turned

B

down all future offers of further reality TV shows: “They were mostly along the lines of: can we make a TV show about you seeking a cure for snoring. No thanks!” she says with a cheery grin. Instead, Belinda has reinvented herself as a maker of exquisite luxury knitwear, turning a hobby into a successful business. Her designs – many made with Westcountry wool – regularly sell for hundreds of pounds (although the smaller accessories are in a more modest price range). She even knitted the cushions for Gloriana, the Royal Barge used in the Queen’s diamond jubilee in 2012. I catch up with her just before she heads off to exhibit in Kirstie Allsopp’s new project, The Handmade Show at Hampton Court, and she will also be showing off her designs at Exeter’s Westpoint for the Stitching, Sewing & Hobbycrafts show which runs from September 25-28 2014 Believe it or not, Belinda only started knitting seriously four years ago, as she explains when we meet in her vibrant family home in Exeter (purple painted stairs, flower murals, and lots – lots – of wool and knitwear just about everywhere). “In 2010, a leaflet came through my door.

A neighbour down the road show was starting a knitting group,” she explains. “I thought – why not? I had barely knitted in my life, bar the odd scarf as a teenager.” On arrival, she found a mixture of “all ages, all walks of life, from a man wanting to knit his own socks to experienced fancy knitters. I said I wanted to make a knitted Arran skirt but was persuaded to make a wrap instead. They said a skirt might cling to my derriere in an unflattering fashion, and they were probably right.” Belinda went home and was inspired to make something “properly fabulous”. She looked on the internet for advice and began to make a cream-coloured cardigan/wrap with bell-shaped sleeves and all manner of intricate stitchwork. “I think everyone was absolutely astonished as it started taking shape week by week,” she says. And more creations followed: scarves, throws, wraps, each designed by Belinda herself. Today, she has an interactive website selling her own unique knitting patterns, yarn and knitwear. It may seem like a major departure for someone who previously preferred to run an alternative theatre happening in Exeter called the Sur-

real Saloon and once appeared naked on stage in Plymouth (as a political statement, she explains). But, says Belinda, knitting is now cool - and arty, too. “It’s creative, it’s skilful and it is part of our cultural heritage,” she explains. “I think of it as slow art, stitch by stitch creating something that is useful, beautiful and also has lots of soul.” Indeed, Belinda has used knitting in all sorts of unusual and different ways. “I worked with my friend Ruth Morris, who organises our Tuesday knitting group, to create heart-shaped knitted bags for the children of Kids Company, the charity which supports street children in London,” she explains. “We really connected with the whole knitting community nationally, which is huge,” she says. “In the end, 12,000 people knitted us individual heart shapes and we turned them into little colourful bags, filled with sweets and toys, for the children to have as part of a Valentine’s Day event to show them some love. We went to London and met Camila Batmanghelidjh, who runs Kids Company. It

was such a wonderful event.” Indeed, there seems almost no limit to Belinda’s energy or enthusiasm for all things knitwear. She is co-hosting a major national exhibition called p-LUSH, promoting British design and fibre with a special emphasis on the use of British alpaca fleece in Coventry next March. “People can knit and trade ideas and get excited about working with British alpaca wool, which is fabulous,” she says. Her business now has 30 artisan knitters, each creating pieces for her, based all over the country. And she herself is now such an accomplished knitter that she can write a knitting pattern without even knitting the garment first. Her clothes are cosy yet glamorous and very wearable. “I’m

keen for them to be beautiful, but flattering and easy to enjoy,” she says. “It’s not crazy, high fashion with extreme mad collars or that sort of thing. I want women to look good and love wearing them.” For the most part (barring the odd Union Jack dress) Belinda’s own clothes these days are either black or white. “I just love being monochrome, with the bright lippy of course,” she says. “And so my knitwear has been either with naturally black wool, or with undyed cream coloured wool: which suits me perfectly.” A little colour is creeping in, however. She shows me a charming sage-green little girl’s knitted dress she has designed. She is also sporting a cream cardie with a beautiful knitted blue rose on one panel. “Just feel it,” she says. The yarn (part silk, part cashmere, part alpaca) is cloudsoft. And there is nothing, it seems, that this woman can’t knit. She uses pure English wool to

Win! create oversized Arran rugs, as well as snuggly gilet tops in all sorts of styles. Her spare room is packed with individual pieces. “My husband Alan is so supportive, even though my business has taken over the house,” she laughs. “He works in software. We’ve been together since I was 19.” Her two sons, too, are amused by their mother’s latest creative venture. Now in their 20s, Gus is a mechanical engineer in Edinburgh, while Barnaby works as a maitre d’ in a restaurant. “But they didn’t mind when I was on Big Brother,” says Belinda. “Both of them were interviewed by gossip magazines at the time about their mad mum, but it was all very good-natured. Barnaby was 16 back then and spent his money from Closer magazine in TK Maxx. He was thrilled to bits.” It is fascinating to see how Belinda coped with her 15 minutes (or, more accurately, two weeks) of fame. It is fair to say it has not fazed her in the slightest. She was parachuted in for the show’s

Week 5 as a “wild card” and evicted at the end of Week 6. “You do almost instantly forget that you’re being filmed and that you’re wearing a microphone,” she says. “I enjoyed it, though it was a bit disappointing to see how the editing focussed on the rows, the flirtations and the showing off – but that is what makes for exciting television.” Belinda is still friends with several of the contestants: “Several of us went out in London a few times which was a lot of fun. We stay in touch. Rachel [the series winner] had her second baby three days ago. She is a drama teacher now.” And Belinda, of course, is a successful entrepreneur. Which just goes to show that even if you don’t win Big Brother, you can most certainly go on to be a winner.

ELISE YUILL

Hitting the right note

[

Plymouth’s up-and-coming folk songstress is attracting attention on a national level these days. Just don’t talk to her about stage fright, she tells our reporter over a cappuccino...

By Emily Smith

lise Yuill sings in a soulful soprano over an expertly-played guitar – her voice flitting between breathy and full. The Plymouth-based musician has a lot to say in her folk music, and her thoughtful lyrics and expert musicianship are steadily attracting a fan base. But, says Elise, it took her a long time to screw up the courage to perform her intensely personal work to an audience. She suffers from stage fright. I am meeting Elise, 28, at the Rockets and Rascals café on the Barbican in her home city – she arrives by bike. She is friendly and relaxed. Naturally I want to hear all about her background, so we begin at the beginning. A musician from a young age, she played violin, piano and cello as a child, then won a sought-after place at a performing arts school in London at the age of 16.

E

“It was an amazing opportunity,” she says. “Then I started learning the guitar after my time in London, and very slowly started writing songs,” she says. “It took a long time for me to believe that I had something worthwhile to say. I write about life experiences and the way I view life. I like to tell stories through my songs.” Let other music hopefuls set their sights on The X Factor and The Voice with dreams of tabloid fame and being the next big pop star. Elise is more comfortable in a less mainstream genre. “All my songs have a strong folk theme – I grew up going to barn dances with my family and my music has a very rootsy feel,” she says. “I still love listening to folk music from all over the country, and the sound of live acoustic instruments is key to my inspiration. “My dad has the best taste in music and because of him I listened to a lot of Neil Young as a kid.” Elise is the eldest of five children, and has always been surrounded by music, she explains. Her sister Camilla plays fiddle when Elise needs a backup band. They are a talented family:

Camilla also created the artwork for Elise’s new album, A Thousand Angel’s Tears, which is due to be released this autumn and looks set to cause a stir in the music scene. Elise is currently to be found playing live at Plymouth’s River Cottage canteen on a regular basis, with the view of promoting her music. It’s a bit of an undertaking, given her longstanding struggle with stage fright. “It took me a really long time to build the confidence to go ahead with my own music career,” she said. “I did some theatre acting when I was younger, but I found being under the direction of someone else felt safer. Singing live, though, you’re so exposed. You have to find your own identity. “Being a folk musician is such a bold thing – it’s really raw music and you put yourself on the line. Most of my songs are very personal. I’m really into music that makes you think.” I’m interested to know how Elise manages to sound so laid-back, given how nervous she gets before she performs. The answer, she says, is yoga: “I’m a trained

yoga instructor. Yoga really helps me to stay calm and focussed. Though I have been so busy since I moved to Plymouth that I haven’t had time yet to do any yoga teaching. “I recognise how much my teaching lets me explore different retreats, and it’s a really rewarding thing to do.” For many musicians their dream is to become signed and work with some of the music industry’s biggest producers, but it’s different for Elise. She says: “I am keen to stay as an independent artist. This does not mean that I wouldn’t consider a mainstream recording deal - if it was right. I am wary, though, of losing aspects of my own self with being signed to a record label, even down to how I dress. “I can appear as a control freak, I suppose,” she laughs. “But to me there is so much more freedom if you stay independent. It allows me to do things in my own time. I really liked the opportunity to have a hand in all the different aspects of creating my first EP record, which is shortly to be released.” A regular visitor to Glastonbury Festival as a child, Elise’s dream is to perform there one day. A cathedral tour and Sidmouth Folk Festival are also both on her wish list. But although Elise has only been living in Plymouth for just over a year (after moving from her home in Somerset) she has already settled in the ocean city. She says: “I am really inspired by the sea, which I find amazingly nurturing. I would really love to find more musical places around here. Plymouth is a real gem. I get very defensive over

Hedging your bets

[

Devon’s Anne Swithinbank, panellist on Radio 4’s Gardeners’ Question Time, on how to stay friends with the gardeners next door ove ‘em or hate’em, we have fascinating relationships with the random sets of people living in the house next door or flat below. Sometimes our neighbours provide mutual helpfulness and delightful friendships but there can also be envy, competitiveness, bullying and even downright hatred. And all of these emotions are played out as much in the garden as anywhere else. I consider my late mother to have been the ideal garden neighbour, as she would befriend, teach and encourage if necessary, offer plants, admire successes and create a desirable amount of competition. She was a tidy gardener, so no danger of her bindweed creeping under your fence or thistle seed blowing over. A large part of my job is to answer gardening questions, Bear in mind so people are always sidling lar trimming at least once that if you plant up with the opening gambit ‘I every summer, this monster know what I was going to ask cypress is easily tamed.

For privacy, a modest fence topped with trellis to take a climber (and a hole in the bottom to let hedgehogs pass) would solve this problem. You could break the line of a conservatory by planting several pencil cypresses (Cupressus sempervirens ‘Totem Pole’) in a staggered pattern down the edge of the garden, with gaps between them. Being tall and narrow, they won’t look blocky and could sprout from a bed topped with large grade shingle to trap moisture and reduce weeding. Small trees, sited a sensible distance from buildings will divert attention. In our previous garden we used an Irish yew with gold edges to its leaves (Taxus baccata ‘Fastigiata Aureomarginata’) and multistemmed, peely-barked Tibetan cherry (Prunus serrula) as lawn trees. Both had great year-round presence, fitted in well and we hardly noticed our garage wall... Above all, do remember that gardening is easy to share and a great way of breaking down barriers, rather than putting them up.

Question time with Anne Anne responds to West reader’s garden concerns and queries

Q

Our outdoor passion flower has flowered well and produced lots of orange fruits this year. Are they edible?

The blue passion flower (Passiflora caerulea) produces spectacular structural blooms but the orange fruits are more decorative than edible. Cut one open and you’ll find a small globule of seeds and flesh inside. Technically, you could eat them as they have some flavour and are certainly not going to poison you but they just aren’t very palatable. The commercial passion fruit in the shops is usually from Passiflora edulis and is much jucier. Also known as the purple granadilla, this Brazilian native needs warmer conditions and won’t grow outdoors. A minimum temperature of 10 C/50 F should give good results. Passiflora incarnata (maypops) is hardy and I have tried this outdoors. In my garden, it returned to growth quite late in the spring, then flowered too late to set fruit.

I’ve tried to grow swedes at home in the garden several times now but they only ever produce small roots. How come farmers can grow such big roots?

Q

Here in the south west we have ideal growing conditions for swedes, because our summers are reasonably cool and where soils are good and loamy, they hold on to moisture and nutrients well. Yet it isn’t easy to grow sizeable roots. Direct sowings work best, made in May. Thinning is vital from early stages onwards so that seedlings and plants are never crowded, which hampers growth. Plants should eventually be spaced 30cm/12in each way, which is perhaps more than most of us allow. Try station sowing, by setting several seeds where you want the plants, then thin to one per station and water during dry periods. Farmers are more scientific about feeding and would probably have a soil check before calculating which nutrients to add and in what quantities. Swedes can be short of potash and boron in soils. Regular liquid feeding with a fertiliser containing trace elements (Chempak 3 springs to mind) would help.

This week’s gardening tips Anne’s advice for your garden

• Plant crocus or Anemone blanda corms into grass where their jewel-like flowers can spangle the turf but you won’t mind leaving it long for six weeks after flowering. •L ook out for trees and shrubs making their flower buds for next winter/spring (in my garden witch hazels and

edgeworthia are showing bud) and feed with sulphate of potash or wood ash. •C arry out some de-brambling before autumn sets in. Don tough gloves to cut back the long arching shoots, then dig the roots out using a pointed spade (Sneeboer is a good make).

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

Getting on with the neighbours The best ways to have harmonious relationships with your next door gardeners Combine seed orders and share packets to save money.

One garden could have a female holly variety and another a male, to be sure of berries for Christmas.

Eliminate perennial weeds like ground elder by tackling colonies from both sides of the fence simultaneously

Share tools so you can always have two forks for dividing herbaceous perennials. Share the hire of power tools such as hollow tine and scarifying machinery for tackling large lawns.

A combined approach to wildlife friendly gardening creates double the area where pesticides are not used (or kept to a minimum) and habitats enhanced. Many apples, pears and plums won’t set fruit on their own and few gardens have space for an orchard, so plant compatible varieties each side of the fence.

Plant autumn onion sets in good soil. Put down a line to make a row, then position the sets staggered fashion about 10cm/4in away from the line on each side and 16cm/5in apart from each other, so they make a double row. Bury each so the tip is just showing.

Empty containers of tired summer bedding but save any usable old compost. Brush pots out and buy in more John Innes no 2 and soilless compost ready for plantings of bulbs, hardy bedding and small evergreens. 19

MODERN MANORS

Letting it all hang out

[

Kishanda Fulford hosts a music festival e let the house for a private festival. In the days leading up to this event I tidied the garden and made a bonfire of the resulting debris on which I could have cooked an oxen. There is a particular weed in my garden, the rosebay willow herb, which had somewhat taken control of my glorious herbaceous borders. And, it had gone to seed. While this herb is easy to pull up, the horrible fluffy bits off the top of the plant go up my nose, into my eyes and, down my throat. Pathetic as it may seem, I think I am allergic to the stuff. I wore a dust mask for my second day of weeding and hoped that a) no one would see me wearing it, and b) that it would prevent the asbestos-like particles irritating me. It was hot and I often took the mask off for a breather of fresh air. As I did so, the mask pinged, with force, into my right eye. I was lucky. There were no tears, except the ones you might expect when a rubber band whacks you on the iris. But no lasting damage was done. The next day the building works for the festival began to take shape. I was a bit disheartened to find the crew building a stage over the very beds that I had so painstakingly weeded. I also still bear the scars from tackling some overflowing Japanese quinces, whose thorns are ferocious, on a path that no one could then access. Things, though, appeared to be going smoothly and the crew worked through the day to transform parts of the garden into shipwrecks decorated with foliage, glittery skulls, flags and sprayed pineapples. At about 9pm the crew were hungry but there was no one to cook for them. I saw one of the catering team the next morning barely able to walk as he had tripped over a guy

rope on his way to bed in his tent. He was very ropey for the rest of the day. Some of the festival-goers could not face camping. Instead they came ‘glamping’ in our house. One guest was taken to his bedroom to settle in. I saw a nearly empty bottle vodka fall onto the bed, having rolled out of his suitcase. He then turned to me and demanded: ‘But where’s my

[

He made a remark to me for which I would have locked him in our dungeon for a week bathroom?’ I made up my mind. He was leaving. However, it is quite hard to remove a large man from your house, especially one who has drunk most of a 40% proof bottle of vodka. I called for help. The help arrived in the form of one of the organisers. She is slight and delightful: we managed to get this man out of the bedroom and down the stairs. It was here we got stuck. At the bottom of the staircase he made a remark to me, for which I would happily have locked him in our dungeon for a week. And fed him on water, and tins of dog food. (No spoon - obviously). Early the next morning I saw him again. He was pleased as punch with himself – a green flowery Hawaiian collar hung around his open necked white shirt. He was swigging some-

thing, (not water), by a hot tub. So, what was lovely? One couple became engaged to be married. He had brought the ring with him to the festival and everyone was delighted when she said yes. We had masses of children here. They had their faces painted with butterflies and all was topped with sprinklings of glitter. They played in cardboard boxes and danced at their private disco, chatted to the chickens and dipped their toes in the lake. My Shetland ponies, Sparkles and Arthur, spent the weekend being adored by them. I dread to think though how many carrots they fed the ponies. Arthur Shetland definitely looks a lot fatter. (I have to write ‘Arthur Shetland’ in case you might think I am referring to my son, Arthur.) These children were later deposited with reams of nannies while their parents got dressed into myriad different outfits. They went on to enjoy a night, and early morning, of music and dancing. Actually, make that two nights. The chickens thought cous cous was the yummiest thing they have ever eaten. A good job, as quite a lot of this had been spilt on the grass. A friend of mine had 20,000 people in her garden this summer - I must ring her to find out if she is still standing… 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.

Health lessons Calpol at the ready: the kids are back at school and it’s only a matter of time before sniffles and tummy bugs begin doing the rounds. So what to do for the best?

ally healthy children can fight the illness off without major support - mostly parental TLC, a bit of paracetamol, plus plenty of fluids.”

COLDS: Children are more prone to colds than we are - it’s estimated they get eight or more a year. But aside from appropriately treating the sniffles and soothing the symptoms, there’s not a lot parents can do. Flu can make kids quite poorly but it usually isn’t serious unless there are complications. “Children will get flu and colds, and parents need to teach them how to cope with minor illnesses,” says Dr Hesseling. “Gener-

GASTROENTERITIS: Tummy bugs, caused by viral or bacterial infections usually clear up either quite quickly, or in around five to seven days. The most common cause in children is a virus called rotavirus, which can be transferred to food, objects and surfaces if infected children don’t wash their hands.Ensure your child doesn’t become dehydrated by giving them plenty of fluids – avoiding fruit and fizzy drinks if they have diarrhoea. If vomiting lasts for more than three days - or diarrhoea for more than a week - consult a doctor.

t’s a seasonal thing: here comes autumn, here come the respiratory infections,” says consultant paediatrician Dr Markus Hesseling, a spokesperson for the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health. “Simple illnesses like gastroenteritis and respiratory problems like chest infections are more frequent in September, simply because children have been sharing their bugs with a small population over the summer holidays. Whereas at school there are loads of susceptible friends to catch them.” There’s no way of avoiding infections altogether but it’s worth giving your child’s immune system a helping hand. Encourage them to eat a healthy, balanced diet with lots of fruit and vegetables. “Sensible precautions protect you from a lot of things,” says Dr Hesseling. “Take general measures like washing hands when you’ve been to the toilet or sneezed – it’s nothing new, just common sense.” In the vast majority of cases, these illnesses are not serious, but err on the side of caution if you are concerned and call the doctor. As Dr Hesseling points out: “Parents know their children best. If you feel there’s something seriously wrong with your child, you need to get them seen sooner rather than later.”

THE KEEP FIT COLUMN WHERE YOU DO THE WORK:

this week: HORSERIDING Mum of three Sam Taylor, 35, from Cardinham near Bodmin is behind Sofa Dodger, the website with wealth of keep-fit activities at a place near you. Here, she tries a ride on a horse... I see my friend Nina clopping along all the time past my window, chatting to other riders and seemingly having a good old time. I wanted to try it, but I was nervous. She introduced me to Spot, a big, 18-year old, white horse, who adopted a long suffering, uninterested look. At first, all I could do was cling on for dear life, breath/pant and try not to scream. Nina coaxed me to relax, maintain a good

posture and sit back into the saddle. My heart rate slowed slightly as I started to overcome my initial panic. The more I rode, the more comfortable I became. Spot was a right old character. Apart from a small wobble towards the end, we got back to the stable safely. I clung onto the fence to dismount and then spent a couple of minutes walking like John Wayne.

From bold monochrome chequered trews that hark back (vintage style) to the golf links, through to Henry Holland’s fun tartans at Debenhams, it’s all about checks – and balances, with a look and a print to suit all shapes and sizes.

Talking of boots, a lovely new pair for autumn is one of the things that mollifies us into accepting that the chilly season’s finally upon us. And we think this pair, by Bertie, are the business. Wide-brimmed straw hats were a must this summer and Primark’s segued neatly into September with a classy version in wool – a steal at just £8 – in a burgundy hue that’s a great combination with the cherries and berries shades to be found across the high street this autumn.

EATING OUT

The Arundell Arms By Becky Sheaves

ast week my husband John and I met up with a friends of ours for dinner and a long overdue catch-up. Where to go? They suggested their local: The Arundell Arms in Lifton, bang on the Devon/Cornwall border. Yes please, I said with enthusiasm. I’ve been wanting to eat there for ages, and never have. I’d heard a lot about this hotel/restaurant, though. It’s been there a long while - the buildings date back to the 1700s - and the hotel in its present form has been run by the same family for more than 50 years. It’s a well-known fishing hotel, with 20 miles of its own rivers (in and around the Tamar). Fly fishing enthusiasts rave about the place. I’ve only fly-fished (if that is the phrase) the once. It was a peaceful afternoon on a lake in Somerset, uninterrupted by so much as a bite. Let alone a trout. So, to be utterly honest, the fact that this is one of the country’s best fishing hotels is rather lost on me. But I was interested to hear that the head

L

chef here, Steven Pidgeon, is a Master Chef of Great Britain. No, that doesn’t mean he’s cooked on MasterChef the TV show. It just means he is pretty darn good at his job. There are only 80 Master Chefs in the country, as opposed to who knows how many MasterChefs. Pretty much every chef in the country must have entered MasterChef by now. The hotel has three restaurants and we met in one of them – the informal bar area, for predinner drinks.The décor is country-sporty but in a charming rather than overwhelming way. And the welcome was friendly and helpful, with the sort of discreet confidence that comes with lots of practice and training. We had an excellent glass of white wine and home-prepared canapes to whet our appetites, while we looked at the menu. Two of us plumped for the Summer Tasting Menu, a five course extravaganza (£47.50) and the other two had more modest ambitions – a starter then a main. It was us girls who couldn’t resist going for the five courses, though, with the chaps ordering somewhat more conservatively. Soon, we were ushered into the biggest of the restaurants, which has held two AA rosettes continuously since 1987. It’s a large, grand room

with plasterwork ceiling, high Georgian windows and a serious chandelier. My dinner kicked off in style with a little hot soup made with roasted tomato and butter beans. Fabulously tasty and very fresh, too. A great start. Then came pan-fried Brixham scallops with a leek and garlic puree, black pudding crust and a simple butter sauce. I wondered what the simple butter sauce was: simply butter, melted? No – it was a silky yellow concoction and very delicious. The scallops were perfectly cooked and the dish was extremely pretty. It could, perhaps have done with a touch more seasoning perhaps. But it was a good dish. John,meanwhile, was tucking into braised pork cheeks (£11) with spinach leaves, crown prince squash, apple fritter and cider. They were tender and delicious, having - I am sure - been braised gently for hours. Pork cheeks can happily turn very, very tough on you. These ones were just as they should be. The meat here is all local and mostly sourced from the legendary butcher Philip Warren from nearby Launceston. Next came a tiny pot of very pretty green cucumber sorbet. Unusual, and surprisingly sweet, but very nice indeed. Then came the course that I remember most vividly from the evening. Wild venison, sourced locally with red cabbage, Cornish kale, glazed parsnips and a red wine reduction. If ever you were looking for the essence of a Westcountry autumn on

a plate, this was the dish. The venison, seared on the outside, pink on the inside and so tender, was really wonderful. Full marks. Finally, I had a vanilla pannacotta with berry compote. This was a light, subtle and delicious end to the meal. I really like the Arundell Arms. One niggle though – the lighting in the restaurant room was very flat and bright. It could do with some candlelight on the tables, say, or more exciting lighting generally. The food is so much more than your average hotel fare, the room could do with less of the hotel dining room atmosphere. But I am nitpicking, because the dinner really was so good.

Finely chop your herb and I mean finely. Add about a teaspoon of this to a 1lb batch of shortbread. I think a little black pepper goes very well too but it’s your decision (as ever). These biscuits work very well indeed crumbled up over late summer fruits and a dollop of good organic yoghurt.

Blend together roughly-hewn garlic, oil, cheese, parley and rosemary and use it where you will. I love it stirred through pasta but it’s entirely up to you what you do with yours.

Take some excellent quality butcher’s sausages and begin cooking them slowly in a pan with a small knob of butter. As you begin turning them add lots of very thinly sliced onions and LOADS of rosemary and garlic. Cook until the sausages are done and the onions soft and tasty. Why not crack a couple of eggs on top at the last minute and serve with some home grown salad and fresh bread?

Today’s world

Under fire

E-cigarettes have been targeted by the World Health Organisation just recently as a potential health risk.

People Andy Torbet

My Secret Westcountry Andy Torbet Action man and former Paratrooper Andy Torbet’s diving and climbing adventures appear on TV shows including The One Show and Coast. The Scots-born adventurer has lived in Bristol for many years and says: “I consider myself an adopted Westcountry boy.” His partner is the Grammy nominated singersongwriter Becki Biggins. Pub: I like proper pubs, ones that sell ale, contain lots of wood and have pie on the menu. The Pig’s Nose on Prawle Point, South Devon is a great place to have a beer after a day’s diving, kayaking or freediving along the coast. We usually camp in the field next door. The others would be The Maltsters Arms in Tuckenhay or the Ferry Boat Inn in Dittisham. When in Cornwall I’m usually based out of Falmouth, which usually means a trip to the Chain Locker and an overnight in the Falmouth Townhouse Hotel.

‘I tend to kayak rather than walk the coastline. When I’m older I’ll walk the coastal footpath’

Hiking on Dartmoor

Restaurant: We don’t eat out that much, as I like

Walk: Dartmoor is probably the place for this

cooking. We’ve cooked some phenomenal meals while sea-kayaking and camping along the Exmoor Coast. Although the little cafe called Harbour Deli in Ilfracombe is an oft-used stop before or after some sea kayaking and I recently found and loved Cafe ODE in Shaldon, south Devon.

as I tend to kayak rather than walk the coastline (although I’ve always said when I’m older I’ll do the South West Coastal Path). That said, Dartmoor can bring some unpleasant memories of ‘walking’ across in during my military training in full kit with a large military rucksack... usually in the rain!

Coast: All of it. North for kayaking, South for diving. Both for climbing. Event: Scubafest, a diving festival held in May each year at Pentewan Sands near Mevagissey. It’s a great three or four days of diving and socialising.

Cafe ODE, Shaldon

Treat: A scone with clotted cream and strawberry jam – cliched, but I love them. I don’t eat them often as they’re not the world’s healthiest food but they are good. I had a scone for Christmas pudding last year.

Days out: The Westcountry offers so many op-

The Pig’s Nose Inn, Prawle Point

tions for outdoor fun. My favourites? Skydiving at Dunkeswell airport in Devon, freediving out of Hope Cove near Salcombe, sea kayaking all the way to Lundy Island and diving for new shipwrecks in the channel out of Plymouth.

Downton Abbey (ITV, 9pm)

This is the fifth series of Oscar-winning screenwriter Julian Fellowes’ blockbusting upstairs-downstairs period drama and it shows no signs of growing old or tired yet. It’s now 1924, and a new Labour government has swept to power. There are alterations at Downton too - not least for Branson and Mary. Both have suffered heartbreak, but are ready to move on and find new love. Mary has two men vying for her attentions, while Branson has taken a fancy to local schoolteacher Sarah Bunting - to Robert’s chagrin. Meanwhile, Edith (pictured) struggles to cope with being parted from her baby daughter, so will her emotions get the better of her and the truth come out? Hugh Bonneville, who plays Lord Grantham, says: “It’s thrilling to be in something that has brought large numbers of the viewing public together in shared enjoyment.”

Jon Richardson Grows Up (Channel 4, 10.35pm)

When he’s not winning 8 Out Of 10 Cats or doing Countdown, maths wiz/pedantic funnyman Jon Richardson is often bringing the house down at comedy gigs around the UK. He’s also a dab hand at documentaries, as his previous films about obsessive compulsive disorder (Jon Richardson: A Little Bit OCD), and ‘The Real Man’s Road Trip: Sean and Jon Go West’ have proved. During this latest series he gets to grips with mortgages, marriage and parenthood - both issues that strike fear into the hearts of many thirtysomethings these days. In this episode, he and friend Matt Forde, with the aid of their orange camper van (called Florence) examine our relationship with cash. Does it buy happiness, and if so, how much do you need to be a contented grown-up?

Our Zoo (BBC1, 9pm)

For some people, the idea of moving to a rambling house in the country, filling it with exotic animals and opening up your own zoo sounds like a dream come true - and the fact that this period drama is based on the real story behind Chester Zoo just makes it all the more inspiring. But as some viewers root for plucky George Mottershead (Lee Ingleby) to listen to his heart instead of the scheming local vicar, others feel a twinge of sympathy for the neighbours who don’t really like the idea of having dangerous animals in their midst. They might feel even more vindicated this week, as Adam the bear escapes, and George is badly injured trying to retrieve him - and even little June, who has been her dad’s biggest cheerleader, is shocked at how close to death he came.

Marvellous (BBC2, 9pm)

Award-winning playwright and screenwriter Peter Bowker (Blackpool, Eric and Ernie) was inspired by a 2010 Guardian article to create this fact-based drama about Staffordshire local hero Neil Baldwin. Baldwin’s story will sound almost familiar to fans of films such as Forrest Gump or The Secret Life of Walter Mitty - the difference being, Baldwin’s tall tales are true. He has been, at various points during his colourful life: a circus clown; a lay preacher; Stoke City employee (manager Lou Macari describes him as his bestever signing), close friend to leading sportsmen and senior clergy; and most recently, he was awarded an Honorary Degree by Keele University. Toby Jones stars in the lead role, that of a man who achieved so much, despite being written off early in life due to him having learning difficulties.

Strictly Come Dancing (BBC1, 9pm)

A couple of weeks ago, we got our first proper glimpse of the Strictly class of 2014 during the launch show - and on the whole, it went pretty well. No one fell down the stairs or out of their costumes. The celebs got through the group dance without any major incidents. And if any of the professional dancers were disappointed with their matches, they hid it well. Iveta Lukosiute in particular seemed very happy to have landed former rugby player Thom Evans. But as the competition launches in earnest this weekend, it’s going to get a lot harder. Six of the couples will be taking to the floor tonight, with the rest competing on Saturday. And this time, judges Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli, Craig Revel Horwood and Darcey Bussell will be scoring them.

Lasers, Radials, 470s, 49ers and other light craft have been battling it out off the coast of Santander in Northern Spain all week long in the Sailing World Championships. Top helmsmen from all over the world are competing in different heats, facing stiff competition and challenging conditions (light winds, killer). Today is your chance to catch up on the excitement and, with Ben Ainslie now retired from Olympic events, to spot the next new Brit talent on its way up through the ranks. This contest, run by the International Sailing Federation (ISAF), is the principal qualification event for the Olympics, and its events and equipment is the same as will be used in Rio 2016.

My life man and boy

School daze Phil Goodwin takes son James, four, to Big School he first day at school is billed as one of life’s great milestones. A mini coming-of-age when youngsters are decked out in grown-up clothes for the first time and sent out to make their way in the big, bad world. I am not so sure. If you ask me, it’s a much bigger deal for the parents. I, for one, can barely remember anything of my first day at Windleshaw Infants, let alone recall any trepidation I felt at being prised from my mother and flung into enforced communal activities. But perhaps it wasn’t that big a deal? Your average toddler has been institutionalised one way or the other since the maternity leave ran out. I was deposited with strangers long before school age, crying all the way in the car, according to mum. Similarly, my lad was in the nursery at six months, so most of the weeping and clinging onto trouser legs - and the wiping of parental tears was done and dusted long ago. In fact, young James has actually been at the ‘new’ school for a year, in the nursery group, so for us the trauma was non-existent. For his part, he saw it as an annoyance at worst, being dragged away from a summer of play and his growing collection of toys. I wasn’t a massive fan of school myself, back in the day - a strict religious education at the hands of the Catholic brothers in the brutal days of corporal punishment does that to a young soul. Still, seeing the boy smartly dressed in his uniform made me realise how fast the years had passed. And to be honest, the clothes you need to buy just to comply with the dress code seem a bit over the top for children so young. But there he was, resplendent in his grey, black and white M&S clobber and cheerfully ready to go. However, on the short trip to school, I realised there were other parents not

quite so fortunate. Just a few yards down from the front gates a glamorous young mother was attempting to persuade her son to enter. She was using all her motherly skills to soothe the boy’s nerves and reassure him that there was nothing to fear. Unfortunately, both his hands were attached firmly to the school fence, his knuckles white, his little face a picture of despair. As I guided my boy around this noisy show of defiance, the woman began to peel her son off the bars, finger by finger. He was hysterical. She was not having a good day. In the classroom things weren’t much better. A boy was c r y i n g loudly and clinging, apelike, to his mum. I didn’t recognise him from the pre-school group so he must have been totally new to the school. Eventually, the teacher took over and left the poor mum to walk out as the wailing got even louder. I felt for both of them, though they do say the crying stops when you leave. Meanwhile, my son clearly a seasoned veteran - was calmly digging into the new toys. Having tired of the nursery’s toddler-friendly dinosaurs and farmyard creatures, he has long coveted the more grown-up playthings of Reception Class – number one being the giant box of Lego there. Not wanting just to dump him and flee, I joined in. We began the makings of a boat while another

boy opted to make a forest. It was fairly chaotic in there with three teachers, maybe 30 kids and we few lingering parents. Just as I was plotting my departure, he tapped me on the arm. For some reason, he has taken to whispering important things of late. “I think it is time for you to go,” he spoke softly into my ear. It was indeed.
