RESTAURANT REVIEW Going down to the local

Last week, we were feeling pretty relaxed. This week, there’s already a back-to-school nip in the air and we’re wondering where the time has flown. We hope our fashion spread (pages 24- 25) will inspire you to feel appropriately braced for the new-term school run. When it comes to role-model mums, we were thrilled to spend time over coffee and (yes!) cake with Sharron Davies when she and gorgeous 16year old daughter Grace visited grandma Sheila in Plymouth. Looking back to her own teens spent in a swimming pool pushing for Olympic glory, Sharron explains how there’s a balance to be struck and in a new project, aims to support parents in nurturing their children’s sporting promise (page 10). Sharron’s huge success was earned by years and years of training, but set designer Simon Costin (page 14) reveals the twists of fate that led him to the Museum of Witchcraft in Boscastle, via the catwalks of London, Paris and Milan. Anne Swithinbank introduces some fun house plants on page 18 but - beware- they may bite! Talking of which, there are so many fun things to do in the Westcountry this bank holiday, but a HUGE cornet is definitely on the cards - blow the diet. How will you spend yours?

SHARRON DAVIES

Strength and spirit An Olympic champion at the age of 17, Sharron Davies is nurturing daughter Grace’s sporting ambition while a new project sees her coaching parents to support young talent

By Becky Sheaves

harron Davies is so happy to be back in Plymouth, she beams. “I love the sea, the gulls. To me this is home,” she says, gazing over the water as we meet up for a coffee in a café. She’s back with daughter Grace to see mum (and grandma) Sheila, who still lives here. Not to mention picking up her beloved white bulldog Piggy, who has been staying with Sheila while Sharron and her children had a post-Commonwealth games holiday in St Lucia. The Davies family are proper Plymothians. Sheila has an unmistakable Plymouth accent and even Sharron is getting a bit of a burr now she is back home. They have picked a proper localsonly café for us to meet up in. It’s an unassuming wooden building on Mount Batten, overlooking

Drake’s Island, with plenty of grassy clifftop for Piggy to walk on. As the café fills up with locals (and their dogs) Sharron is relaxed and smiley. “I’m really not that famous,” she says modestly. But she is, of course. It is just her down-to-earth demeanour and ability to just, as she says, “be normal”. Yet there is no doubt that, at 5ft 11 in an Olympics anorak, with her trademark long blonde hair, eye-catching orange manicured nails and to-die-for figure, Sharron certainly stands out in a crowd. As does her equally beautiful daughter Grace, just 16, who has Olympic dreams of her own - as a hurdler. We settle down over our drinks to hear all about Sharron’s life right now, and her plans for the future. She tucks into a teacake, while Grace and Sheila have a doughnut apiece. “Obviously we try to eat healthily,” says Sharron, “but within reason. I’m all about balance in my life.” Today, Sharron is on a high, thanks both to her holiday plus her recent stint as BBC commenta-

tor at the Commonwealth Games. “British sport is in such a good place right now,” she says. “It’s a joy to see, especially when you contrast it with how things were when I was competing.” Sharron grew up in Plymstock, a rural suburb of Plymouth. Dad, Terry, was a swimming coach (indeed, he has only just retired, in his seventies) and soon realised that his daughter had a rare talent. At eight, she started training in earnest, in the pool six hours every day. “Back then, the thinking was, you do lots and lots of hours when you are very young. We know better today,” says Sharron.

Interview

She says she has “made her peace” with Terry for the fact that she was treated throughout her childhood as a “swimming machine”. “When I was 11, I feel out of a tree and broke both my wrists,” she says. “Dad just taped plastic bags over my hands and I carried on swimming. We never went on holiday. I wasn’t allowed to have a social life…” “Hang on,” chips in Sheila. “I did use to fight hard for you to go to a disco now and then. And I did persuade him we could go on holiday, as long as there was a pool for you to swim in.”

There follows a spirited mother-daughter debate, which is overseen with amusement by Grace. The trio are all clearly very close, warm-hearted, and feisty too. We agree in the end that Sharron was allowed out to the occasional disco, thanks to Sheila’s interventions. But that the last time Terry was persuaded to take the family away was when Sharron was 10 – to Cornwall. She went to her first Olympics, aged just 13, in Montreal in 1976. It was, she says, “almost unreal, at such a young age”. She didn’t finish

in the medals but she won the hearts of the nation – and her local city, too, of course: “Mum and Dad couldn’t afford the air fares to come with me, so the City of Plymouth raised money for us. We were so grateful.” Her next Olympics saw her in the medals, in 11

Sharron at work, Olympics 2012. Moscow in 1980. “Moscow was very grey. There had been calls to boycott the Games, thanks to the Russian invasion of Afghanistan. So we didn’t parade, we didn’t have team uniforms. You just raced and went back to your accommodation.” For all that, she is glad the controversial 1980 Games went ahead. “We took Western culture to Russia, and once the people there had seen that, you can’t take it away from them altogether. I firmly believe the Olympics are the very best way to unite people and share experiences across the world. That is why I am so proud to be an Olympian.” To everyone’s astonishment (especially her father’s) Sharron then declared she was retiring from swimming at 18 and went to university in America. She then took on modelling and media roles including memorable appearances as the Gladiator “Amazon” in the hit TV show in the 1980s. It was at the same time that her parents’ marriage broke up. Terry remarried, to a much younger woman, and went on to work as a swimming coach in the Home Counties. “It was hard,” says Sheila. “And very difficult for me, in my 40s, to find a new relationship.” “Tell me about it,” says Sharron. Her love life, too, has not been easy of late, she tells me. She married fitness instructor John Crisp, but divorced in 1991. Then she fell in love with British runner Derek Redmond during her comeback Olympic Games in Barcelona, in 1992. This was the Olympics where Derek, then 27, broke his hamstring and was helped to limp to the finish line by his father, to a standing ovation from the 65,000 crowd. Sharron, too, was making a dramatic comeback to her sport after eight years out. It was a hugely romantic story.

Sharron as the Gladiator Amazon. Sharron and Derek married and had two children, Elliot, now 20 and Grace, 16, with Sharron retiring from swimming for good in 1994. Alas, the marriage did not last – they couple broke up amid allegations of Derek’s infidelity. Sharron later married pilot Tony Kingston and after “four years, eight rounds of IVF and two miscarriages” her youngest, Finley, now seven, was born. Her marriage to Tony ended, though, when Finley was two. And she’s not over-keen on finding someone else these days, despite looking a million dollars and far younger than her age of 51. “The thing is, men of my age are excited and impressed at first. But as time goes on they find being with me hard,” she says. “I think they want it to be like the old days, with the man in charge. They find it difficult for the woman to be earning the money, owning the house, making the decisions. “It will be easier for you,” she says, turning to Grace. “The boys of your generation are much more

comfortable around strong, independent women. They really can cope with genuine equality. “For my part, I’ve got my family, wonderful friends, my work. I’m never lonely. A new relationship would be nice but it isn’t a priority.” Sharron’s admitted to the odd bit of surgical help with her looks - some Botox and fillers, plus breast enhancement in the past: “just to get them back to how they were before breastfeeding”. Added to this, though, she is undoubtedly blessed with superb genes, and the ongoing discipline of a top athlete has never left her. “I work out three times a week in the gym at our house,” she says. “And I cycle, too.” Her career now is with the BBC, as a sports commentator. It’s a dream job for Sharron, who still cares passionately about sport in general - and swimming in particular. “I’m on the sidelines, holding my microphone, but I swim every stroke with them,” she says. “When they get emotional, I get emotional. It’s such an honour to be the one who speaks to them straight after they have swum their hardest.” Sharron was part of the team preparing for London 2012’s Olympic bid. She’s hugely proud of London’s success, and its legacy, and says the Lottery has been a significant factor. “The Lottery has made such a difference to the lives of British athletes. Now, they can have some money

– not lots but enough – drive a car, manage to train.” It’s a world away from the huge sacrifices her parents made. “They funded almost everything themselves,” she says. “And the facilities were so limited. I’m so thrilled for Plymouth to have the new Life Centre, with such good swimming and diving pools.” Today, Sharron is supporting Grace in her Olympic ambitions. Grace is modest yet confident and not in the least affected, or spoilt. “I’m focussing on the hurdles as my event,” she explains. “I probably won’t be ready for the Rio Games in 2016 but I’d love to be there in 2020 in Tokyo. I’ll be 22, which is about the right age.” It’s a far cry from competing internationally at the age of 13, like her mum, but Sharron agrees with Grace’s plans: “I want her to have a career with longevity, not just burn out after a couple of years.” As for Sharron’s sons, they too have inherited a love of sport. “Elliot played rugby very seriously but now he’s aiming to be a Royal Navy helicopter pilot,” she says. And Finley is, she says: “a really good swimmer”.

Golden girl Throughout her swimming career, Sharron competed against East Germans, who have since admitted to taking performance-enhancing drugs. In the 1980 Moscow Olympics she was beaten to second place by East German Petra Schneider. Schneider later confessed that her win was drug-enhanced. “I know we can’t change what happened, but it hurts to think that they cheated to win,” says Sharron. “I wish there was some way it could be acknowledged in the record books. Just a line to explain what happened.” Last Christmas, Sharron’s family took matters into their own hands. They asked Michael Spiers, the well-known Westcountry jewellers, to gold-plate Sharron’s silver medal for her.

Sharron as a promoter of healthy eating. “But I could never push him the way I was pushed. With my kids, I want to encourage them, of course I do, but the desire to do it has to come from them.” With this in mind, Sharron has just started a new project, to help parents of sporty children. Called Parents4sport, it is a website where families can get advice on training, nutrition and facilities. “The reality is, much as I moan about my dad, he was only doing what he thought was best – and it worked. I became a champion. Today, although things have changed, it is still very much down to the parents. If the parents aren’t on

board, it’s very difficult for a child to become an athlete. But so often they don’t know what to do for the best.” Having said that, Sharron is definitely keen for Grace to be self-motivated. “For my 16th birthday, she got me a moped. Just so I can get to training on my own,” Grace tells me, and the whole family falls about laughing. Then they finish off their cakes, and set off to catch the little ferry over to The Barbican for lunch for a day out in the city they know and love so well.

The Museum of Witchcraft in Boscastle is one of the Westcountry’s quirkiest gems. So it’s fitting it bewitched a man who caused a media meltdown with his avant- garde jewellery before collaborating with fashion industry legend Alexander McQueen. Meet Simon Costin. Charmed, I’m sure, writes Catherine Barnes.

By Catherine Barnes

imon Costin was, by his own admission, never quite your average seven year old. While most lads his age would have pored over the Beano by torchlight, The Reader’s Digest Book of Folklore, Myths and Legends was his favourite read. “Wherever the family went, the book came with me,” he says. “We’d be driving through a village and I’d say: Stop! That’s a sixteenth century haunted pub! No wonder I ended up here.” Here being the Museum of Witchcraft, which Simon assumed ownership of through his embryonic Museum of British Folklore – more of that later – taking over the reins from Graham King at the stroke of midnight last Halloween. It’s a long way in every sense from Simon’s working world – which encompasses the catwalks of London, Paris and Milan and the studios of photographers including Vogue go-to man, Tim Walker. But then, Mr Costin is a man full of, perhaps not surprises, but unexpectedness , exuding an air of gentle thoughtfulness, rather than the flamboyance you might anticipate. After all, he made his name designing sets for major fashion houses, brands and in the course of his career, has rubbed shoulders with Naomi, Kate, Giselle and Erin, but avoids the after-show bashes saying: “I dip in, do my set and run away from the parties. Boring, I know! “Karlie Kloss once baked me peanut cookies,” he offers by way of a conciliatory titbit. “It’s a complete myth that models don’t eat.”

This calm unaffectedness is rather confounding, as his career portfolio, which also includes countless sculptures and artworks, is such a riotous carnival. As an art school graduate in the 1980s, one of the first twists of fate to which he credits his good fortune occured when a brooch he’d crafted from a clasping raven’s claw caught on the coat of a woman sitting next to him on the Tube. “She turned out to be the head buyer of Liberty’s jewellery department and she commissioned a range,” he says. From there Simon was asked to create a collection for the Silver Gallery, now long-gone but once famed for showcasing artist-made jewellery ranging from Lalique and Faberge to contemporary talent. “I was living in a squat and couldn’t afford the materials, so they put me on a retainer and paid for the silver and precious stones. It also allowed me to pursue my interest in witchcraft, mythology and folklore,” he says. The result was Incubus and Succubus, which drew on religious iconography and explored how the established church once blamed the pagan demons it denied for inexplicable mysteries – pregnant nuns, for instance. The centrepiece of the exhibition was a spectacular necklace – now one of three of Simon’s works at the New York Met – strung with five phials containing semen. “I did a Radio Four interview about it and all seemed to be fine.... but unbeknownst to me, various people had taken offence,” he says, with a faintly mischievous air of surprise. “I found out there were two plain clothes policeman at the gallery with a warrant for my 15

arrest, so I hid in the basement of a friend’s bookshop on the Charing Cross Road, while the legal department worked out how they could get round it. “They found a loophole – if someone bought it and wore it, it was private property. But at that point all the newspapers got a hold of it ... It was a little midsummer madness – and consequently I sold everything.” Then, in another twist of fortune, a promising student at St Martins College asked if he could borrow some of Simon’s jewellery for his degree show. “That was Alexander McQueen. Back then, I had no designs on fashion and didn’t know anyone in the industry. Fate had played another hand and I began badgering him to become his set designer,” says Simon, who knew the much-missed McQueen, as did all his close friends, as Lee. “It was a happy accident; Lee was a lovely, fantastic character that I knew I had to work with. He was incredibly generous and it was him rather than the love of fashion industry which drew me in. We became mates and when his trajectory took off, all of us went with him. “It was such a major opportunity to put on those spectacles, the ideas you’d thought of, but wouldn’t have otherwise the opportunity to explore. But I was always slightly on the outside of the bubble and working for Lee wasn’t the whole.” Twelve years ago, Simon began working with photographer Tim Walker, which has resulted in some of the fashion glossies’ most wonderful flights of fancy, akin to Tim Burton touching the rainbow, or the Brothers Grimm ending happily. “I worked on Tim’s first shoot for Italian Vogue with Camilla Rutherford going through a mirror like Alice. We got on like a house on fire.” Two of Simon’s props for Tim’s shoots are to go under the hammer at Christies Out of the Ordinary auction on September 3. The sale is the beginning of Simon’s goal to raise

£20 million by attracting international financiers, philanthropists and inspiring the nation, to establish a purpose-built Museum of British Folklore, in Sussex. “Seasonal customs and events vary from village to village, yet they’ve been underrated for so long,” he explains. Three years ago, he literally road-tested his vision, creating a small museum in a caravan decked out like a Victorian showman’s and traversing the length and breadth of Britain for six months. His brother was at the wheel – Simon, who has just completed a project for Hermès in Paris, doesn’t drive. “You could only get in seven people, tops, but the reception was amazing,” he says. “It was so reassuring and the breaking point for me – that it was not just my obsession, but one shared by many other people.” Convinced by what so many people eagerly came forward to share, Simon is determined to properly curate our quaint rites and customs – you can already visit the museum’s virtual incarnation online. Cornwall’s Museum of Witchcraft, which in the new year will also be suffixed “and Magic” will remain in situ and be very much a part of the British Folklore story, he explains. “If you look at it now, it’s not all about witchcraft, but also a lot of folk tradition,

It was a little midsummer madness – and consequently I sold everything

which merges in.” Simon undertook a month-long residency at the museum a few years back, to learn about its day-to-day running from Graham King. “When he said he felt confident enough I could take the museum on, I was gobsmacked, but so excited,” he says. “I think though, the time has come where I may have to learn to drive.”

ANNE SWITHINBANK

Tickled green

[

Devon’s Anne Swithinbank, panellist on Radio 4’s Gardeners’ Question Time, introduces fun plants which could substitute as family pets... n the 1995 natural history series The Private Life of Plants, time lapse photography enabled us to watch growth taking place, with stems and tendrils literally thrashing about in search of a direction or something to climb. In real time, bramble stems can extend at a rate of 8cm/3in a day and Japanese knotweed 20cm/8in but their growth is still too slow

for us to see. Yet before you write the entire plant kingdom off as static, there are a few odd examples of plants which given the right stimulation, can move visibly. They don’t exactly sing and dance but are remarkable all the same. When reporting on my visit to the Eden Project back in early July, I mentioned shopping and one of my purchases was a tropical African sensitive plant (Mimosa pudica). Since then, this has

been given a slightly larger pot of good compost and kept in the greenhouse. Pompoms of mauve flowers are pretty but I bought this leguminous plant mainly for its entertainment value. Tickle a leaf gently and one by one the leaflets will close up and then the entire leaf bows down. This is known as seismonastic movement where a stimulus results in water moving out of cells, causing them to collapse and is thought to be a defence mechanism protecting leaves from grazing animals and pests. It is possibly to exhaust a sensitive plant by poking, blowing and knocking it too regularly and I suspect ours is only fresh and active because there are no small children in the family. At night, all the leaves close and lower more slowly and invisibly, It is possibly as if the plant has tucked itself up for bed and this is known as to exhaust a a sleep or nyctastic movement. sensitive plant Maranta or prayer plants do this too and fold their leaves togethby poking, er like hands in prayer. blowing and Sensitive plants are only an-

nuals or short-lived perennials and I might move our mimosa indoors and hope it lasts through winter but I won’t be holding my breath. They are easy to grow from spring-sown seed (Plant World Seeds of Newton Abbot 01803 872939 www. plant-world-seeds.com) The African lime (Sparrmannia Africana) is another plant with moving parts but this big mallow makes a large indoor shrub so you need a roomy bay window or conservatory. In its native South Africa heights of 6m/20ft are reached but you can keep this down to 1.2-1.8m/4-6ft by pruning immediately after flowering in spring. Although the large, soft leaves are attractive it is the white flowers that provide this plants wow factor. Tickle the central boss of prominent red and yellow stamens and they open out, like a retro fibre optic lamp. This is presumably all the better to entice insects and cover them in pollen. You’ll find sparrmannias at Hill House Nursery (01803 762273 www.hillhousenursery.com) With its origins in the boggy, nitrogen deficient swamps of Carolina, the Venus fly trap (Dionaea

musciplula) is almost animal-like in its movements. Nectar is secreted from the base of teeth lining the edges of jaw-like traps formed at the ends of leaves. Insects land inside the trap, where there are several trigger hairs. The plant ‘waits’ until hairs are touched two or three times by the insect before the jaws close. When a fly is successfully caught, the sides of the trap clamp tightly against it, enzymes are released and the insect is broken down and absorbed into the leaf. They quite often catch crane flies, whose legs stick out at precarious angles. Stand plants in a bright position or put them outdoors in saucers of rain water for the summer. In winter, keep frost free but below 7 C/45 F and don’t let water stand in the saucer. Repot in spring or summer into 3 parts of moss peat to 1 of lime free sharp sand. Never give venus fly traps plant food but do feed them live insects and remove any flowers that form.

Question time with Anne

This week’s gardening tips Planting this week

• Trim lavenders, thymes and sun roses (helianthemum) after flowering to neaten them up and encourage dense growth. • Pot up new strawberry plants into 15cm/6in pots ready to bring under glass during winter for fruiting early in May. This is a great way of using an unheated but well ventilated greenhouse in winter.

• Return to thin out seedlings such as chard sown several to a station or to modules. You can grow them as small clumps but they will be bigger and more productive as individual plants with more space. • Clear weed and straighten beds in the kitchen garden for sowing hardy annuals next month, to yield cut flower early next summer.

Anne responds to West reader’s garden concerns and queries

I’ve grown an avocado from a stone. It is now quite large and living in my conservatory. Will it ever fruit?

Who can resist the massive seed inside an avocado pear? Plants make attractive foliage specimens, though in the hot, dry air of ordinary house rooms they can suffer from brown leaf tips. Small flowers are insect or hand pollinated and although they have both male and female parts, these mature at different times to encourage cross-pollination, so that persuading one plant to pollinate itself can be tricky. Plant A needs to be shedding pollen when plant B is receptive. At colder temperatures, this schedule sometimes goes awry, so plants are more likely to set fruit on their own. Flowering is also encouraged by a drop in temperature and in tropical countries, it is traditional to shock a tree into flowering by bashing it. Some varieties can withstand frost but it is best to keep them frost free.

One of my dahlias planted outside and undisturbed for a number of years has grown enormous. How can I divide it up and when should I do this?

Prune Here in the South West many gardeners risk leaving their dahlias in the ground. There is little advice about dealing with these in books because received wisdom consists of lifting tubers in autumn, storing them frost free during winter and replanting or forcing cuttings in spring. Tubers left in can grow into a huge mass. I would lift them in early spring before they come into growth, probably March depending on weather. Divide them up and separate into neater clumps with growing points and replant a good 15cm/6in deep.

rambling roses such as ‘Dorothy Perkins’ immediately after flowering by cutting out as many old, flowered stems almost to the base for every new stem you will tie in.

Take cuttings of lavenders, making them about 10cm/4in long and remove the soft growing tips. Insert around the edge of a clay or plastic pot in 50:50 John Innes seed and cuttings compost and grit, water in and shield from excessive light.

On the right lines ven if you hated maths at school, it could be time to brush up on your geometry, as the new decor trend focuses on shapes and angles. Lines, triangles, hexagons, chevrons and circles are proliferating in pattern and feature strongly in this autumn’s collections. “Geometrics are a popular choice for bringing pattern into the home, with sharp, angular designs such as zigzags and graphic prints currently leading the way as favourites,” says Kate Tansley, creative director at Multiyork. “Softer on the eye, circular geometric-style prints are also making an impact and are a great way to introduce the trend into a space and give it a stylish uplift. Geometric patterns lend themselves perfectly to fabric and can easily turn function-

al furniture, like a sofa or chair, into a striking statement piece.” Of course, geometry isn’t solely represented in print; natural geometry is all around us, and it can be found in furniture design and architecture. So there’s no need to completely redesign your home to add a touch of the trend. Our love of shape and angle goes back through history, the ancient Greeks and Moroccans both used its principles in their interior design. Today many leading designers use strong geometric shapes, combined with symmetry, to bring a feeling of elegance and order. “Art Deco-inspired interiors, with their characteristic geometric lines and patterns, are enjoy-

[

ing a renaissance,” says Karen Anderson, editor at online interiors company, Alison At Home. “This trend so effortlessly creates a sense of opulence makes it very desirable. If you really want a ‘wow’ factor, then introduce geometrics in monochrome or gold.” “People often think these patterns can only work in bold bright colours, but they work equally well in monochrome or grey palettes,” adds Katie Watson, interior designer at furniture specialists, Fishpools. “The combination of strong design in monochrome shades creates a clean-cut, classic look which is easy on the eye and can easily be enlivened, if necessary, with ‘pops’ of colour.”

MODERN MANORS

Uninvited guests

[

Kishanda Fulford hadn’t planned a garden party, but nobody told the slugs was showing a friend around the garden and took her to a patch of basil growing in a cloche. This, I pointed out, was the only thing left to eat. As we gazed at the glossy green leaves they moved and just between the small holes in the foliage I could see whiskers. There was another rustle and a mouse came to rest where we could clearly see him. It sat unperturbed as we commented on his lovely brown coat, the charm of his nose, and his obviously dear nature. We named it ‘Basil’. It was at this point that I gave up. The reason ‘Basil’ showed no signs whatsoever of wanting to hide from us, was that he had clearly eaten too much. I have now resigned myself to the fact that everything I planted this year has been destroyed by mice, slugs, rabbits, moles, and birds. What a feast they have had: two hundred peas, two hundred broad beans, 10 cabbages, carrots, flat leaf parsley, coriander, dill, lettuce rosso and lettuce green, red currants, and gooseberries. They were not so keen on my rocket. Lucky us. We started off this spring clearing all the beds and laying down scaffolding boards to make pathways. We then took barrow loads of horse muck and dug this into the ground. Even though I say it myself, we had made perfect ‘beds.’ Afternoons were spent on our hands and knees popping in seeds at just the right depth, (we had a ruler) and waited for the joy that is a seedling appearing - a curl of bright green that is the first sign of a pea sprouting from the ground - a wisp of feathery leaves that is not a weed but dill – something I had never tried to grow before. The ‘joy’ was short lived. Where the peas had been

planted you could tell a brown nose had systematically gone along the row and dug them up. The mice missed one or two and then the slugs would eat them. My cabbages looked like lace doileys. It was war. I read that if you soaked peas in paraffin then no one would want to eat them. So I popped another hundred or so slimy peas into the ground.

He told me the minute it rains after dark he would go out in to his garden with a torch and picks slugs up with a peg. Perhaps putting paraffin on peas is, to a mouse, rather like soaking them in truffle sauce. They too were all dug up. I then became a gardening bore. I had long chats with everyone in the village shop asking them how they prevented the ravenous unwanted hoards from eating their crops. The answer was beer (not lager) traps, slug pellets, mouse traps, crushed egg shells, human hair, and coffee grinds. I even bored my hairdresser. He told me the minute it rains after dark he would go out in to his garden with a torch and picks slugs up with a peg. I decided I could not put slug pellets down because of our dogs. I could not sprinkle coffee grinds around my plants as I don’t drink the

stuff. I could not face putting mouse traps out as I recently caught a mouse by his bony leg and I felt so wicked that I swore I would not use one again. I always forgot to keep the eggshells after I had made scrambled eggs. I stupidly never asked my hairdresser for a bag of human hair as my tresses fell to the floor. When it looked like rain I would vow to myself that I would march up the garden in the dark with a torch and a peg. Darkness though in the summer comes quite late and idleness on my part meant I never set off on such an adventure. Or, perhaps it was the thought of squeezing a slug with a wooden peg? And, what of the rabbits? They are, to me, rather sweet. They fly across the lawn as I approach and dive into the mass of wild flowers and weeds that have now grown up. I suppose I could put my boys on guard with an air rifle? But unfortunately I have read ‘Peter Rabbit’ too often. The only thing to have benefited from the huge transfer of muck is a rose who has barely bloomed for years. This year it is almost on the floor as the weight of roses is more that it can cope with. But, you can’t eat a rose. For anyone interested, the only thing that is not decimated, is da- dum – my beetroot. And my husband hates them almost as much as I hate the …….. who ate my garden. 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.

Beauty sleep Why sweet dreams matter

t’s a no-brainer: If we don’t take care of ourselves, we don’t function as well, so most of us at least try to eat the right things and exercise when we can. But according to experts, we should be paying as much attention to the amount of ZZZs we get, as the calories we consume. Juggling work, home, family and even our leisure time out can be exhausting, but when we’re stressed out it can be hard to switch off even if we feel like we’re running on empty. Victoria Beckham, pictured looking tired in the press recently, has candidly admitted that early morning starts as a mum-of-four with a growingfashion empire means that she doesn’t always get the amount of sleep she craves.

this week: SUP YOGA Laura Woollett, 30, is a doctor from Carbis Bay, St Ives. She unwinds at Shine Yoga’s SUP (stand up paddleboard) yoga classes led by Jennifer Austin at Stithians Lake, Redruth. I enjoy yoga as well as outdoor activities incuding various water sports and am always keen to try new things. Combining yoga with being on the water is amazing. It’s exactly as it sounds; doing yoga on a stand up paddle board! It works your core strength as well as enhancing flexibility. Doing yoga on a SUP helps to improve postures and balance as there’s always the risk of falling in. During our classes we

have a good laugh and a lot of fun. It’s also nice that when you get hot or sweaty you can just jump into the water to cool down! Practicing in such beautiful surroundings, enjoying the tranquillity and sunshine makes every SUP Yoga class feel really special. Even if you’ve never done yoga or been on a paddleboard before, I’d recommend you give it a go. www.shineyogauk.com.

EATING OUT

The Grapevine By Becky Sheaves

he British corner pub is a thing of beauty, in my eyes. You know the one – sits on a corner of a terrace, all stained glass windows and dark wood inside, with odd things in glass cases on the walls (fish, rowing oars, a model ship) and lots of different ales to choose from. Great place for a pint and a natter. Time was, food in such places was restricted to scampi in a basket or a cheese ploughman’s. Then gastro-pubs were born, and all of a sudden you could cheerfully expect to find pretty superb fine dining in such places. Which is great, of course. But, but, but… What if you still want your local pub to be a place where you can dance on a Saturday night to a live band, and flirt, and meet people, and drink lots and eat nothing but a packet of pork scratchings? Which brings me to The Grapevine, a redbrick Victorian boozer in the heart of the terraced streets of Exmouth, near the beach but resolutely without a sea view. A town pub, in all its glory. I know The Grapevine purely from a drinking and dancing perspective. Indeed, my friend Mary once danced on a table there to one particularly raucous band. On a weekend night, this pub rocks. I had also clocked, though, that it takes its food quite seriously, too. Before, say, 9pm, the place doubles up as a restaurant. And then they literally carry out the sofas and clear the dance floor. During the day, it also offers coffees and a place PHOTOGRAPHY: STEVE HAYWOOD

The second point I want to make is this: I think everyone should go back to school occasionally. Whether you want to learn how to make cakes, strip down an engine or fillet a fish, there is a course out there for you and the experience will do you as much good as the skills attained. And if you’d like to learn more about deer, I can highly recommend you do it with the BDS, as there can be no better placed organisation to fill you in on the facts. Once you’ve acquired some tasty wild venison you need to treat it a little differently to farmed meat as it’s likely to have a lot less fat and it will be far less forgiving if you over cook the prime cuts.

TODAY’S WORLD

Antisocial media Katie Wright explores how some of us are struggling to keep up with the virtual Joneses

BROWSING AROUND hen 1,500 users were asked about how they feel after using social networks like Facebook and Twitter, 62% revealed they felt inadequate about their life or achievements, with a similar amount saying they felt jealous when checking out what their friends are up to. Sound familiar? It can’t help that the survey, carried out in July, comes right in the middle of the season when poolside selfies and sunset Instagram snaps are rife. It’s enough to make you stage a ‘fakeation’ - a spoof on the popular ‘hot dogs or legs?’ meme where you use two fingers (no, not like that) and a computer backdrop to simulate a sun-drenched selfie. The survey admittedly wasn’t all bad news - the majority of respondents said they felt ‘amused’ by what they saw, or felt better connected to their friends. But worryingly, a third felt lonely when faced with pages of personal outpourings, and almost half felt ugly or unattractive. In fact, half also admitted they’ve been tempted to quit social media for good, but say it’s too hard because they want to stay in touch with pals. The research was carried out by disability char-

ity Scope ahead of their Digital Detox weekend in July, which encouraged people to commit to going tech-free for 48 hours. By doing a sponsored switchoff, tech addicts got back in touch with life ‘offline’ and raised money for the charity. Scope’s weekend may be over, but if you think you or your family could benefit from a spell ditching all things digital, sponsored or not, there’s nothing stopping you. Choose a weekend, a day, or even just a few hours, switch off and lock away all phones, computers, tablets and games consoles. If you’re staying at home, unplug your Wi-Fi, and plan a day of good old-fashioned fun, uninterrupted by the ring of an iPhone or ping of a Blackberry. Don’t trust yourself not to cheat? The New Forest National Park has a solution. Their Tech Creche (www. newforestnpa.gov.uk/techcreche) allows you to store your devices securely and get them back after a day exploring the park. Finally, if you know you can’t face a social media moratorium but are still sick of all the show-off status updates, then remember this: in another survey, a third of Brits admitted to lying on a social network. So perhaps there’s a lot less to be jealous about than you think....

Almost half those surveyed felt ‘ugly or unattractive’ after using social networks

The Mill (Channel 4, 8pm)

The Mill was Channel 4’s highest-rated drama last year, and this superb second series has focused on the period between 1838 and 1842 - four years after the first series – but like all good things, it must come to an end. Tonight’s final episode culminates in a violent confrontation as the striking workers form a line outside the mill gates, and William Greg enlists a band of men to break the stand-off. It’s not long before Daniel is arrested but he calls for the workers to keep fighting. Esther attends the union meeting in Manchester in his place, while Susannah looks after baby Billy, who has become critically ill. There’s more information about to be revealed about Peter’s background and the story of the slave rebellion on the Greg plantation in Dominica, although before Peter can learn the truth, Hanna’s sickness takes a turn for the worse.

Gadget Man (Channel 4, 8.30pm)

Gadget Man Richard Ayoade still isn’t finding life any easier. Cooking, shopping, moving house, going out or even staying in are among the activities that involve far too much effort for his liking. That’s why he’s continuing his crusade to find gadgets that can ease his pain. In the first episode, Richard takes on the worst of the British weather. With the help of comedian Tim Vine he braves a hurricane in a wind tunnel to assess the best in gust busting gadgetry. And to help him pressure test the finest cold weather technology, Richard is joined in the wilds of the Hemel Hempstead Snow Centre by comedian Marcus Brigstocke, culminating in some hilarious results. The show climaxes with Richard revealing his bespoke survival raft built by his technical team to withstand the meteorological apocalypse that he’s convinced is just around the corner.

Addicts’ Symphony (Channel 4, 11pm)

If there’s one thing composer James McConnel knows about, it’s music; if there’s another, it’s addiction. James himself is a recovering alcoholic, and in 2011, his son Freddy died of a heroin overdose at the age of 18. However, James has found that music has played a significant role in his own personal journey, and wants to share this with others in a similar position. This documentary follows his efforts as he brings together a group of 10 classical musicians, all of whom have struggled with addiction. Some of the musicians in the group have been sober for years, while others just a few months, and for all of them their battle is far from won. In a bid to help, James leads them as they form an ensemble, in preparation for a performance with the London Symphony Orchestra.

Who Do You Think You Are? (BBC One, 9pm)

Brendan O’Carroll is one of the most successful Irish comics of his generation. As fearsome Irish matriarch Agnes Brown, he has become a superstar, generating huge ratings for his TV show, and more recently his big screen spin-off proved so successful a sequel has been rushed into production. O’Carroll’s rise to fame is worth a documentary of its own, but naturally it’s Brendan’s ancestors who fall under the spotlight for the latest edition of genealogy strand. His Who Do You Think You Are? story is a personal ‘whodunit’ – a quest to find the men who murdered his grandfather Peter O’Carroll, in 1920 – at the height of the Irish War of Independence. Prepare for some moving scenes as the experts hope to shed some light on the troubled past of Brendan’s grandfather.

What’s It All About? Is your tie straight? Have you got your satchel and blazer? If the answer is ‘yes’, then you’re ready for a new run of David Walliams’ hit sitcom in which the staff are in need of life lessons far more than the pupils.

Miss Postern pushes her would-be beau to the back of her mind to organise a careers workshop, where it becomes clear she needs advice as much as her students do, especially after she comes face-to-face with one of the speakers her old college sparring partner Fenella Forbes, who is now a best-selling children’s author.

The classic British comedy, starring Rowan Atkinson, Tony Robinson, Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry, gets a full run on Dave with the whole series stacked back-to-back this weekend. In the fourth and final series, Edmund is now Captain Blackadder, trapped inside the trenches of World War I with his trusty companions Baldrick and George. Waiting nervously for the Big Push, Blackadder’s mission in this instalment is to escape and save his life. It’s just a shame that General Melchett is the military mastermind back at base. The series opens as Field Marshall Haig unveils a strategy to move his drinks cabinet six inches closer to Berlin.

My life

[

man and boy

Ps and queues Phil Goodwin unbuttons his stiff upper lip

he English are known around the world for the carefully constructed set of social rules which govern our daily lives. Politeness is highly valued and any deviation from the strict etiquette surrounding activities such as queuing is frowned upon. Not so in my wife’s home turf of Russia, where we are currently taking our annual summer holiday with the grandparents. Of course, good manners are as important here in Sochi – the sub-tropical resort which recently hosted the Winter Olympics – as they are in the genteel South Hams. But the norms of behaviour are quite different. Russians are not hidebound by the need to pepper every transaction with ‘please’ and ‘thank you’…nor do they safeguard the feelings of others during disagreements. Things are often direct, frank and at times bru-

tally to the point. As I witnessed this week, even a simple row on the bus can bubble away and become extremely heated, though without ever boiling over. Having left the car behind in Exeter, we are forced to rely on buses to get around the Black Sea city. This delights young James almost as much as taking the train. And, though at times frustrating, the tickets are cheap (17 roubles, or about 30 pence) and the free lessons in cultural studies are invaluable. However, when it kicks off, the entertainment is priceless. As you might expect, the transport hierarchy in Sochi dictates that the rich glide around in air-conditioned cars, many black and very large, while the rest of us fight our way on and off the vast fleet of public buses and smaller, private minibuses, called marsh-route taxis. All life can be seen here and it is aboard these more informal carriages, where much of the fun often takes place. I was sat alongside the boy the other day as our “marsh-routka” drove down the palmtree lined Kurotniy Prospect into town. As we pulled away from a bus stop, the minibus jerked to a sudden stop, amid a furious sounding of car horns, and the side

door hissed open. A very flustered lady climbed up the step and began berating the driver before taking the seat in front of us. The driver, a young guy in light blue shirt sleeves, gave as good back before pulling away. With the tact of a four-year-old, James asks me in his loud voice: “Was the lady naughty?” A little confused, I leaned back across the seat and ask my wife: “What did the woman say?” “She said the driver nearly ran her over,” she told me. “She asked why he didn’t see her dodging the cars to catch the bus?” “And the driver?” My wife smiled: “He said maybe she should have waited and not been so stupid to run across a busy road.” Well, fair enough, I thought. He had a point. But it didn’t end there. The woman, who I would guess was in her 50s, started chipping away at the driver. Back and forth it went, her pointing him shouting back over his shoulder and throwing her glances via the rear view mirror. Nobody raised an eyelid or intervened on either side. There seemed little chance of resolution but there seemed no malice in it. For me, accustomed to the silent fury that often characterises such fall-outs in England, it was compelling stuff. The woman dug into the guy again, a fresh criticism of his driving skills. It was too much. “Teach your husband and your children how to work,” he snapped back at her. And for once, I understood without translation. The cutting admonishment, which obviously translates to the English “don’t teach your Granny to suck eggs”, was greeted with silence. She could not match it and got off sheepishly at the next stop. The guy did not ask for a fare. He had already delivered the pay-off.
