GREEN SALVATION

Every so often, quite ordinary people do something really impressive, don’t they? This week’s magazine has more than one example of this phenomenon. First up, we’ve got the story of a project called People & Gardens (page 10). It’s the brainchild of a couple in Cornwall who wanted to give people with learning disabilities the chance to work together in a plant nursery. The story is truly heart-warming, and the project has created a safe, nurturing place for the 40 people who garden there. Not to mention some very delicious salad vegetables. Then, on page 14. we’ve tracked down three of the latest food entrepreneurs to start up new businesses in the region. Starting on the kitchen table, they have developed successful foodie businesses. Read how they did it - and win some scrumptious goodies, too - on page 14. Now, Anne Swithinbank knows what she is talking about when it comes to gardening, as anyone who has heard her on Radio 4’s Gardeners’ Question Time will know. This week Anne has the lowdown on what trees to plant where, as well as tips for your garden chores this week (p18). Finally, turn to page 8 to see our cover girl Kathryn (this magazine’s designer) try out the winter pastels trend. Yes, winter... it’s on its way, but we’re ready for it.

KEN RADFORD

A place to grow How one man’s remarkable vision has given disabled people in Cornwall a place to flourish and feel safe

By Catherine Barnes

“

’ve been told I’m very good at giving people a diplomatic middle finger salute,” says Ken Radford, the charismatic chap awarded the British Empire Medal this year for his life-changing charity work. A salt-of-the-earth bloke unafraid to call a spade a spade, this is a man who, motivated by his own experience of hitting rock-bottom and rebuilding his life, was inspired to create a very special Cornish project called People & Gardens. It’s a scheme which, since its inception in 1997, has made hundreds of individuals with mental health problems and learning disabilities feel valued, safe and - most importantly - useful. People like Julie, 54, who lives in sheltered accommodation with seven other residents. Today she is working in a team of three to thin out and re-pot trays of tiny lettuce seedlings. “I’ve been coming here over 10 years,” she says, pausing for a breather. “I like to do anything, really. I like to work with anyone, really.” I’m visiting The Watering Lane Nursery in Pentewan near St Austell, where a huge glasshouse is presently suffused with the delicious aroma of freshly-pulled onions. Here, people of all abilities are expected to don gardening gauntlets and dig in. They grow produce for the Eden Project’s cafe, as well as fort-

lowances, which add up to around £500 a month. “There are vulnerable people out there and some organisations set up workshops where the clients just sit there doing jigsaw puzzles – and have to pay for it themselves,” explains Lorraine. “I’m not popular with the care providers,” says Ken. “How can anyone that’s not accredited look after people with learning disabilities? It’s all about money. I don’t go to meetings anymore: let’s stop talking about money and just get on with it. You can see neglect everywhere – people with disabilities and yet have carers that walk a few paces in front of them. We’re not trying to sound like we’re angels, but it’s basic humanity.” Yet money is an issue: More than half of People & Gardens’ £110,000 a year running costs comes from Cornwall Council funding,

Ruth’s story

Ruth, 62 Ruth lives in St Austell “I’ve been coming here three and a half years- I found out about it from the paper. I’m originally from Essex, but I’ve lived in Cornwall for seventeen and a half years. I come up here two days a week and enjoy doing it. I did seeds where I used to live, in Saffron Walden. Some are really small, but I enjoy doing it. Last year, I had two trays of lettuces go straight down to Eden and it felt lovely. But anything that needs to be done, I’ll do it. Julie’s a friend, but we are all friendly here. We’ll go to the Railway Club together and I also do PHAB; it’s for disabled people and their carers go as well, out in a bus for a run around and see what’s going on.”

Mairie and James

‘We’re not trying to sound like we’re angels, but it’s basic humanity’ but the aim is ultimately to become self-sufficient through selling the produce grown here. Ken and Lorraine’s dream is to enable all of the 40 people who come here throughout the week to earn a wage for their labours. “How many people are stuck at home and not able to do something wonderful like this?” says retired bricklayer Keith Taylor. For him, seeing son James, 27, flourish is a joy. James was born with a congenital brain disorder and aged 12, developed severe epilepsy. He can have up to five seizures a day. “I’m realistic about what James can do in a workplace when there’s no medical backup,” says dad Keith. “With this organisation, it’s all here. He always wanted to work outside and couldn’t be happier hoeing, weeding… and playing with the dog. It’s increased his confidence no end. He’s doing something useful and constructive in a safe environment where people care and he’s happy. And someone needs to be out there doing this work – there’s no-one out there producing things anything anymore.” People & Gardens also supports people with mental health issues. Organiser Ken is open about his own struggle, which initially inspired the project. “I spent some time in a psychiatric hospital and found it impossible to get a job afterwards,” he says. “I was 32 at the time. My father had died suddenly when I was six and between the ages of

said, I have a dream like you had your dream. Will you help me?” says Ken. The answer was an unequivocal Yes. And so the People & Gardens project began, first clearing brambles at Heligan Gardens, before moving to its current home, a nursery once used by Eden to grow plants for its famous biomes. “The Eden Project epitomises what social aspiration and social obligation is,” says Ken. “They’ve encouraged us, supported us, laughed

and cried with us. I could never repay the debt I owe them.” For Ken, the fruits of everyone’s labours at the Watering Lane Nursery are bountiful, countless and priceless. “One fella said it had taken him out of his darkness and given him a reason to live,” he says. “I still go to bed at night looking forward to tomorrow. In fact, I got into bed last night saying I wish it was tomorrow already.”

Lorraine and Ken Radford, an inspirational couple who change lives for so many with their People & Gardens project in Cornwall

Matthew, 23 Matthew lives with his mum, dad and two brothers in St Columb “You’re quite welcome here. I’m originally from the north – Crewe – and came here in 2007. I like gardening. And I must admit that I like Strictly Come Dancing. I’ve got to say it: I love glitter and sequins. When obviously it’s nice weather I like doing things like hoeing and stuff. One of my friends said he’d love a pumpkin – I said they’re not ready yet, you’ll have to wait a bit longer. In summer I’ve grown parsnips, beetroot. My mum’s more of a tomato person. When she comes here, she says, I wonder if Ken would mind if I had one, but I say: Don’t! Avoid the temptation! I like anything, basically, when it comes to food. It’s a good feeling to grow something yourself.

6 and 26 I had lost 14 friends or members of my family. It rocked my boat. “When my son was born, I remember coming back from the hospital, scared the same would happen to him. So I’d go and sit in the park and was afraid to go to work in case something happened to me. I felt being there would keep me safe. I thought I could survive borrowing from the banks and my wife at the time never knew anything. Then my world fell apart.” After hitting rock bottom and a spell in psychiatric hospital, Ken and his then-wife relocated to Cornwall. Unable to find a job at interview, he set up doing garden and maintenance work. “Then in 1997, I went to The Eden Project and

People KITCHEN TABLE CAREERS

All in the best taste Across the Westcountry, women are taking great food ideas and turning them into successful businesses. Here we meet three inspirational female food entrepreneurs

Murphy Williams f you’ve ever thought of turning a great recipe into a money-spinning business, then you’ll find these three women nothing short of an inspiration. Each has taken a delicious idea and turned it into a thriving business, with a little hard work along the way. From marshmallows in South East Cornwall to cups of eco-coffee on the Camel Trail, our food entrepreneurs have seen a gap in the market and found the courage to go for it. Read on to find out how they did it...

Journalist Murphy Williams, 45, quit Fleet Street ten years ago for Cornwall life with musician Louis Eliot, 46, in a farmhouse on his family’s Port Eliot estate at St Germans. The couple have two children, daughter Silver, 11 and son Jesse, eight. Cloud Nine began in Murphy’s kitchen 18 months ago and expanded to take over half the house, before moving into a converted outhouse of its very own this year. Murphy says: Cloud Nine was a completely spur-of-the-moment thing, which began when I stumbled across an American craft website and a recipe for honey and lavender marshmallows. I’d no idea you could make them yourself. They were delicious. I love the connotations of marshmallows, the association with deep winter and also their high summer feel. Since the business began, I’ve discovered that demand for marshmallows really is seasonal – we went crazy at Christmas, busy again at Valentine’s and Mother’s Day. And during the summer we’ve been selling masses as wedding favours. I began by going out and buying a candy thermometer and Kitchen Aid mixer, which is all you really need. I spent the first couple of months experimenting and the family kitchen became quite sticky. We’ve now got lovely shiny stainless steel surfaces and utensils – much easier to wash. I make many of the ingredients, like the lemon curd, from scratch, although I do

buy in the crystallised violets now. After painting hundreds of petals with sugar last spring, I decided there had to be a more economical way! When our friends Lil and Jo Lanyon opened the Long Gallery tearoom in St Germans, I asked if they’d be up for selling my marshmallows and giving out samples, all prettily packaged up. On the first day, they sold seven packets - I couldn’t believe it I was thrilled and started thinking I could make more and more. I got a graphic designer friend to create the labels, all pop brights and elegant, and I built my own website. I took samples to parties. I was quite shameless about offering them around. Sophie Dahl, Pearl and Daisy Lowe, Rhys Ifans and Suggs are among old friends from my London days. I sent some off to Selfridges, and they not only ordered some but placed them on offer for a month - they were the first thing that you saw when you walked in the food hall. I went up to hand out samples and it was incredibly exciting to hear the buzz about something I’d made and brought to London all the way from Cornwall in my car. Last Christmas, things went crazy and Cloud Nine gradually took over the kitchen, the playroom, conservatory and front staircase. There are always three or four people I can call on when things get busy. In a hectic week, we can make up to 400 bags. We’ve had lots of orders for weddings this summer. My marshmallows go very well with cocktails, too. Now, I’m exploring ideas for Halloween and Bonfire Night. There’s nothing more satisfying for me than converting a marshmallow snob, as I was, to the possibilities of these fabulous sweets. 15

Davina Whiteoak Last year Davina Whiteoak, 41, set up a company producing fruit snack bars. In her first year of production she has sold 140,000 of her healthy Get Fruity bars. She lives in St Mawgan, north Cornwall, with her husband Robert, who works in finance and children Elliot, two and Emma, four. Davina says: I have just sent off my biggest order: 90,000 fruit snack bars have just left our factory at Victoria in mid Cornwall. To say I am on a high would be an understatement. This past year has been a real rollercoaster ride, a lot of fun and very exciting. I have got more of a buzz out of launching my company, Get Fruity, than I would ever have believed possible. It’s all-consuming, and I must admit I find myself unable to talk about much else to my husband Robert over dinner. Luckily he is an investor in the company, so he is keen for me to take it seriously. I first had the idea for Get Fruity bars ten years ago, when I was working for Del Monte. We did all the research and found the market really did want a fruit bar that was natural, juicy and really fruity-tasting. The plan was to make one with Del Monte fruit mixed with oats. Back then, the project fell through and life moved on, but it was always at the back of my mind. In the meantime I worked for other companies – I’m a food scientist by training – and met my husband Robert. We had our two children and moved to Cornwall. I was brought up on a farm near Newquay and I knew it was where I wanted to raise a family. Luckily Robert, who is a hedge fund manager, could work from home and so we started a new life here. Lots of people suggested that I revisit the Get Fruity idea, but only once both my children were at school. But even though Elliot was only one when I got going with the plan last summer, I just couldn’t wait. I couldn’t park my plans for three years – I was itching to get on with them. I’ve just muddled through with pre-school, a childminder and my husband pitching in. I’m an expert at getting a lot done in the space of one toddler naptime. I did some market research through an online company called Survey Monkey and set up some focus groups. The gap in the market was still there. At first, I was making the bars on my kitchen table at home and came up with three flavours: Scrumptious Strawberry, Moist Mixed Berry and

Feature2_Sept28.indd 16

22/09/2014 18:23:45

People Juicy Apricot, Orange and Ginger. Then it was a case of getting the production rolling and going out there to sell them. I’ve been to trade fairs nationally which are a great way to meet buyers, as well as contacting all sorts of retailers and wholesalers. I’m working hard to get Waitrose and Sainsbury’s to stock our bars. My first big break came from the Eden Project, who agreed in February this year to stock our bars. Over the summer they were selling about 3,000 every 10 days, which was wonderful. Next, an order from Ocado was really a coup, too. I’d love to see Get Fruity bars in every food shop. I’ve got big ambitions for this little snack.

Kelly Littlejohns Kelly Littlejohns, 36, runs Treats on Trikes, selling food from bikes on the Camel Trail near Padstow, and has recently also set up The Cornish Crepe company. She lives in north Cornwall with her partner Dougal Holley. Kelly says: I used to live on a farm very near the quarry which is the halfway point between Wadebridge and Padstow on the Camel Trail. I liked to take my sketchbook and sit down there – it is such a dramatic spot, overlooking the estuary. I always used to think: “Wouldn’t it be lovely if there were somewhere to get a cup of tea and a slice of cake?” I was sure the cyclists and walkers who use the trail would appreciate it too. I started Treats on Trikes together with my partner, Dougal Holley, who is also 36. Between us we have more than 20 years’ experience in catering – although I am also an artist and he is a musician. We started by doing a survey of people on the Camel Trail to see if demand was there, and then we applied to the council for a licence. We invested in some Pashley Classic 33 hand built British tricycles, which we have customised. We sell hot and cold drinks, ice cream and cakes, which we bake ourselves in the evenings at home – we’re on the trail between about 10am and 5pm in the extended summer season. We make brownies, date and oat slices, and a lemon drizzle that flies off the shelf. Our ice cream comes from Gerrys, based in Launceston – they

make our ice cream for us specially, with no preservatives, additives or stabilisers. I am passionate about healthy eating. You can’t buy any sugary fizzy drinks from me, my cold drinks are all school-accredited and are actually one of your five-a-day. We also use all biodegradeable materials, as I am passionate about the environment. Treats on Trikes has been very successful, and recently Dougal and I expanded our business to include the Cornish Crepe Company in Padstow. We converted an old catering trailer into a sort of funky beach hut, all brightly coloured and stripy, and we sell a range of savoury and sweet crepes. People love them. We’re based in the town’s car park, which isn’t the most scenic location, but we’ve had a super-positive response – I think people want a bit of a change from fish and chips. It’s interesting watching how the clientele changes as the months pass. In the summer it is all about the kids, which is great fun and they love us. We have a joke of the day, and you can get your photo taken with us and put on our Facebook page, which goes down well. Then in the shoulder months like September it changes and you get more grown-ups and older visitors. I’m really aware of giving good customer service, and that we’re important ambassadors for Cornwall. I try to help visitors with information and suggestions as best I can. I think our business has been successful because we genuinely love it. It’s hard work, but so worth it. It makes me so happy that everyone can finally enjoy a cup of tea at my favourite beauty spot.

ANNE SWITHINBANK

Plant a tree in 2014

[

Now is the time to think about planting trees, says Devon’s Anne Swithinbank, panellist on Radio 4’s Gardeners’ Question Time neighbour living at the bottom of our green lane has been hard at work rebuilding his stone wall and as a final flourish, planted several new trees along it. The distinctive foliage of a tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera) caught my eye and I instantly admired his confident choice. Here was a man who had admired the oddly shaped, almost bat-winged leaves and exotic blooms of this fabulous tree but decided to lose no sleep over the fact that at maturity it could reach 30m/100ft tall. His wall might bow a bit many years down the line but there is space for branches to stretch out over his garden and the lane, much as tall beeches do further up. Once the tree has settled in, we’ll all look forward to seeing the green, tulip like flowers with orange bases opening in midsummer, followed by rich yellow autumn leaf tones. Trees tend to be more noticeable in early autumn, while fruiting and beginning to colour up. On a recent visit to the National Now is a good Trust property Montacute House time for tree in Somerset I saw a golden rain planting tree (Koelreuteria paniculata) had set an admirable show of because roots rosy-tinged, bladder-like pods settle readily and must have looked very fine when its panicles of yellow flowuntil spring, so trees can estabinto warm, ers were open in summer.

flowers and long-lasting red fruits, or even better, C. ‘Rothchildianus’ (evergreen and 15ft tall with elegant foliage and yellow fruits) can be trained into tree shapes. An attractive tiered arrangement of branches makes for a triangular tree-shape and you’ll get this with Viburnum plicatum f.tomentosum ‘Mariesii’ to 3m/10ft, with a spring show of hydrangea-like flowers and good autumn colour. The wedding cake tree (Cornus controversa ‘Variegata’) reaches 8m/25ft and bears leaves with bold creamy margins as well as white flowers in

early summer. Apples or crab apples grafted onto dwarfing stocks work well and I’ve seen a lovely little tree of Malus ‘Red Sentinel’ on rootstock M26 fruiting madly at a manageable 3m/10ft, its small red fruits persisting well after Christmas. Where there’s a little more room, an amelanchier is light and prunable with spring flowers, fruits for the birds and autumn colour. There are good small rowans too, notably delicate, pink-fruited Sorbus vilmorinii reaching 5m/15ft. For really tight spaces, S. ‘Hilling’s Spire has all the rowan attributes but on a narrow, columnar plant. The same can be said for Japanese cherry Prunus ‘Amanagowa’. What ornamental trees have I added to our own plot? A tall, narrow form of moisture-loving swamp cypress (Taxodium distichum var.imbricarium ‘Nutans’) and a seed-raised snake bark maple (Acer davidii) with great autumn colour.

Japanese cherry Prunus ‘Shogetsu’ has settled well in the front lawn and will eventually take over from an elderly ‘Pink Perfection’. An infant golden hop tree (Ptelea trifoliata Aurea’) is an experiment to see if it makes a better gold-leaved tree than the ubiquitous Robinia pseudoacacia ‘Frisia’ which can be prone to die back. Trees add height, seclusion and shade to a garden and in urban areas, are great for absorbing pollutants. Their lives take place in slower motion than most plants and I think it is wise to plant young ones in advance, to soften the blow when old favourites die off.

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

• Clear old mildewed courgette plants that have stopped producing. Fork over and weed their bed, then spread some compost over the top as a mulch. •A dd Michaelmas daisies (Aster novi-belgii varieties) to borders if you don’t have any. If you do and

they suffer from mildew, plant New England asters (Aster novae-angliae varieties) instead. •S ow some hardy annual toadflax (Linaria maroccana) to a pot. Set five seedlings per 13cm/5in pot and leave in an unheated greenhouse to flower next year.

Question time with Anne Anne responds to West reader’s garden concerns and queries My husband bought me a Brown Turkey Fig Tree about 2ft high, now living in a 2ft square wooden container. It has put on about a foot of growth since we got it, it has plenty of figs on it . How and when do we prune it ? Bea Richards

Ripe home-grown figs are delectable. Have you tried adding them to a tomato, avocado and mozzarella salad with a good dressing? Or steep them in vodka with a little sugar for vodka fiege (happy memories of après ski in Austria). Restricting the plant to a generous sized container is a good idea, to contain the roots and improve fruiting. Fruits form best on short, sturdy, mature wood rather than long sappy stems. In spring, you can tidy the plant by removing any damaged shoots or those spoiling the shape by crowding, tangling and growing too long. In June, stop growths bearing fruit after about four leaves. If you wanted to train the tree as a fan, or against a wall, tie in the shoots you want and then shorten those growing in the wrong direction.

Stems of sprouting broccoli seem to be in the shops all year round these days (at a price). How can I grow my own?

First, we’ll discount what a lot of people refer to as broccoli but is really calabrese. Those are the mild-flavoured but rather boring, rounded green heads. Sprouting broccoli grows in narrow, spear-like heads and has a more distinct flavour. Years ago, this was mainly represented by purple sprouting kinds, gathered in late winter and spring from plants sown the previous spring. They needed a period of cold and shorter days before they would flower. Now, there are many more varieties and hybrids capable of flowering at all times of the year. In March, you could sow ‘Summer Purple’ and ‘Apollo’ to crop in summer and autumn. The variety ‘Rudolph’ sown in March will yield crops during winter. Then there are plenty of purple and white sprouting varieties to sow in April and May for spring.

Collect ripe seed pods, remembering that highly bred plants won’t come true from seed. Most are ready when brown and dry. Place in a paper bag with name and date, dry further on a tray, then clean from husks and store cool and dry. They make great presents. You might have plenty of red campion but it could be on somebody else’s wishlist.

Prune hybrid blackberries including loganberries by removing all fruited stems and tying the rest in. Some take all new growth over to one side of their supports, some opt for a fan-type shape but I favour serpentine training for vigorous sorts like boysenberry.

MODERN MANORS

Waifs and strays Kishanda Fulford acquires some unexpected friends

ur first waif and stray was a miniature Shetland pony. My daughter went riding at some nearby swanky stables and, as I waited for her to return from a lesson, I went to look at the inhabitants of the stable block. In one stable, to my surprise, there languished a pony who could not see over the door. I asked about him. He was the leftovers of a divorce, they said, and up for sale. On the second time of chatting to him, over a door so high even I had trouble looking over, I bought him. He cost a fortune. We chucked a head collar on him and slowly walked him home. I called him Mousey, as I did not like his paper name of Maestro – and Mousey was the closest I could get, I thought, without upsetting him. I loved him. Love though is sometimes a strange thing. I was really the only one who could deal with Mousey. If any of my family were left to look after him he would present his bottom and back legs Obviously, you should not really have one pony. So, I made endless calls trying to find him a friend. The end result was the delivery of a once very smart Shetland stallion. As he was handed over to me the owner said, “he won’t last long”. He lived another 11 years and died at the age of 41. In fact, Mousey predeceased him, aged 14. His demise was a quick: I went out for lunch and came back to find a seemingly healthy pony on the floor. He knew, and I knew. Thanks to my very swift vet and sympathetic neighbours he was soon buried. This happened at the beginning of July and I picked every perfect flower I had in the garden and threw them on his body before the earth was gently placed on top of him. From previous tests we knew that Mousey had,

[

at some point in his life, eaten ragwort and this was the cause of his death. How has ragwort been allowed to run amok? Mousey’s companion, who surely should have status in the Guinness Book of Records for long life, began to lose his coat after Mousey died, and as winter approached it was clear he was not thriving.

two days he was eating off a spoon held out in front of him. He, strangely, took up residence in the Great Hall fireplace and used a half-burnt log as a perch. I think he liked the safety of the fireguard and remained impervious to anyone approaching him, unless they had food! Mr Soot began to get braver and would sit on the back of a bench in the courtyard and shout back at his parents, who had never abandoned him. One morning I saw him fly and by afternoon he too had gone. Perhaps the most unlikely waif was a wild rabbit. He was found in the courtyard and allowed himself to be picked up. He ran free, but in the evenings we would call for him, feed him dandelion leaves and shut him in a hutch for the night. This we soon realised he did not like. So, we left the hutch door open for him. He became slightly wilder but sometimes we would see him in the garden. It is not always a joy when a stray arrives. One day a kitten appeared and soon was tucked into a bed fit for a king. I told my children that we had to make every effort to find out where the kitten had come from. Sadly, our efforts paid off and the kitten was returned to its owner. As I look out of the window, I realise I have forgotten to mention Mr Goose...

[

If any of my family were left to look after him he would present his bottom and back legs I was determined to have a break from heartbreak, obviously. But, guess what? Only two months later, I took delivery of two miniature Shetlands who needed a home. I was very fortunate as Sparkles and Arthur Shetland are the gentlest, most divine, and amiable ponies. I sometimes sit in their small shed with them they just stand and, occasionally, put their heads in my lap. One stormy autumn day we found a disorientated racing pigeon. Before long the pigeon would answer the whistles of my youngest son and fly down to him and eat some grain. The pigeon stayed here for about two months. We also recently found a fledgling jackdaw with a damaged wing: we named him Mr Soot. Within

Wellbeing

Zest for life Forget diamonds; a girl’s cheer-making best friend is none other than the humble lemon - and there are lots of other natural scents that can do us good, as research reveals.... ew research from Radox has revealed that 34% of British women turn to a citrusy aroma when in need of a pick-me-up. But lemons are not the only smell with the power to change our disposition. Our olfactory glands are scientifically proven to be 10,000 times more sensitive than our sense of taste. So many aromas - even unassuming ones can have an instant impact on our mood.

Feel happy

Lemons have some impressive contenders when it comes to making you feel cheerful. The tropical jasmine flower might be diminutive, but its fragrance is so powerful at stimulating feelings of optimism, it’s often used as an anti-depressant.

Calm down

DODGER

Lavender is well known for its sleep-inducing properties, but it can also be an effective stressbuster. But oranges are also known for their calming effects; in fact, in a recent study by Brazilian scientists, participants who were asked to sniff orange essential oils before an exam were shown to be a lot less anxious, and the feeling of relaxation even remained after the exam (not really surprising, that, when you think about it).

THE SOFA

Boost your libido

The most surprising scented turn-on for women is talcum powder, which has been seen to increase arousal. The scent of cucumber also has a similar effect. Oddly though, men should try not to be too overzealous when it comes to spritzing themselves; cologne is apparently a turn-off for females. And for men wanting to get in the mood? Apparently as study has shown they are aroused by the smell of pumpkins. An unlikely crowd-pleaser for both sexes is the smell of liquorice.

Become more energised

An American study has revealed that peppermint inhalers gave basketball players more energy, speed and motivation. Reebok even got on the bandwagon and released a peppermintscented range of sports bras (yes, really).

Feel more alert

The heady smell of cinnamon can help with cognitive processes including memory, motor responses and ability to concentrate. Alertness and memory can also be improved by rosemary, try crushing some when in need of brainpower.

This week she goes…pole dancing Grace, poise, balance, upper body strength and a strong core. Where better to go to prove that I have none of these qualities, by attending a Pole Fitness taster session, with Vicky Kierkegaard, who is behind pole and aerial art school Vixystrawberry? We started with a gentle warm up to “cheesy” music and then over to the poles. Vicky instructed us to firstly prance around the pole on the balls

of our feet to get used to it. The atmosphere in the room, immediately changed to laughter and giggles,. Next up, was more of a swing around the pole, which then graduated on to swinging and crossing our legs around the pole, as we got to the end of the spin. Overall, I really enjoyed myself and can see that going with a friend would be a great laugh.

Lovely layers

Deichmann UK Chunky knit pom pom hat £4.99

The temperature’s all over the place, but here’s how to dress for success as the seasons change o, it’s half past eleven in the morning and we’re not sure whether to peel off or put on another woolly, as the season goes all menopausal on us. It’s been cold and misty enough for a coat first thing and if you brave the bus, there’s usually a fresh air fiend who insists on flinging the all windows open while everyone else politely freezes to death in the draught. Then the last gasps of summer kick in and before you know it you’re walking up a boiling sweat, until you hit the office/shops/take the kids to the playbarn and someone’s turned the air-con on – set at a temperature somewhere between ‘sub-zero’ and ‘cryogenic.’ What’s a girl to do? Layer - that’s the key, so you can slip off, shrug into, button up or unzip with casual insouciance throughout the day. We love this fitted jacket from Cornish label Celtic & Co’s (£150) which plays around with biker-chick style layers, swapping cotton canvas for denim and adding black quilted leather sleeves. Celtic describes this stylish go-anywhere jacket as the perfect weight for most of the year. We love how it works with a soft cable knit in cream merino wool (£80), also from Celtic, or go for cosy cashmere – we’ve picked out a burgundy classic knit, £130 from Lands End. Miss Selfridge is also dressing up the biker look for the office with this smart tailored jacket with feature zip. White Stuff is great for separates that can work in the office of off-duty – we’re liking the layered look that it’s achieved with crochet in this blue Melannita cardi (£55). This label’s also great for fun undies – well, when you’re layering, it’s a case of starting at the bottom and working up – and these sprigged kickers (£7.99) are cute. Meanwhile, the time is now if you plan to invest in a cape or poncho that you can sling over virtually anything. Next has a longline woolly cardigan that is ideal for this time of year over a dress or jeans and is just the thing to prevent the breeze blowing up on the bus ride home.

EATING OUT

Fresha Cafe By Becky Sheaves

ou might think that, as a restaurant critic, my life is one long whirl of fine dining and haute cuisine. Caviar for lunch, soufflé for supper. That sort of thing. There is, I must admit, an element of being utterly spoilt in this job. But most of the time I eat spag bol or sausages and mash at home like everyone else. And you’ll find me queueing up in the fish and chip shop near us with the best of them. The place I eat out at most often, truth be told, is a unit on a featureless road in an industrial estate (correction, business park, excuse me) on the outskirts of Exeter. Why? Because Fresha café is the only place serving edible grub within walking distance of our office. I go there at least once a week to have a “working lunch” with my husband John. We don’t ever divulge it to the kids that we sneak off whle they are at school to see each other on the sly, without them. It’s a chance to have a sane and sensible chat without the usual interruptions of home life: dogs, telly, kids, the washing up – the usual relentless domestic onslaught.

It is over coffee and soup in Fresha that John and I have talked through some of the most important decisions of our recent years. Which school to pick for the kids. Whether or not we can afford a holiday in the Canaries (2012: no; 2013: yes). What car to buy when the old Renault died (a Honda Jazz, in the end). Luckily, this café is a cut above your usual workman’s eatery. I’m not the only one who loves it, either. Go in first thing in the morning and the place is packed with blokes eating bacon sarnies and choosing from Half English, Full English and scarey-sounding Mega English breakfasts. By mid morning, even though we are miles from any residential housing, there is a fair smattering of mums with pre-school babies, all having a natter over a cappuccino. There is plenty of space for pushchairs here and it’s the sort of place where the old squalling baby really isn’t a problem. Then at lunchtime here come all the workers popping in for a sit-down salad or a takeaway sandwich. With free wifi, acres of space and good, well-priced food, Fresha is a real asset to our working community here. They also have a van which delivers sandwiches, crisps and fruit

to our office door. So on busy days Fresha comes to me. Bless them. This week I’ve been in there twice. John and I had lunch together there on Monday and I popped in on another morning for a sandwich to take away for lunch. The menu is fairly straightforward, with jacket potatoes, salads, soup etc but the key thing is, it is all really well done. I’m a big fan of the hummus and pitta bread (£4.95) with home-made hummus, with lots of good

Don’t leave out the apple, it really will make all the difference. Make toast, slice up a leftover cooked sausage, grate cheese and apple and bung it all under the grill, I like a bit of Worcestershire sauce with mine.

Apple cake

I’m not going to give a recipe, I’d land myself in too much hot water with the Dorset folk. But basically add as much chopped apple to a sponge mix as it will hold. I tend to use dark sugar or a little treacle in the mix and spice it up a little too. Many people like cinnamon but I’m a big fan of a hit of allspice and black pepper. Bake, eat and enjoy.

Pumpkin and apple ketchup – no, really...

Dice your pumpkin and apple. Add salt, sugar, spices and vinegar and cook to a pulp. Blend, adjust seasoning and reduce to the desired consistency.

Jonty White

My Secret Westcountry Jonty White Jonty White is behind gourmet sweet and savoury snacks brand Portlebay Popcorn. He lives in Kingsbridge and is married to Annabel, with children Archie, 15 and Tilly, 13. Pub: The Sloop at Bantham. It’s cosy, friendly and you can go in with a wet dog and have lunch, which they serve until quite late in the afternoon - none of this ‘it’s after two o’clock’ nonsense. I also like the Crab Shell in Kingsbridge, it’s a big locals hangout and I can walk there and back. Restaurant: The Beach House at South Milton. It’s exactly as it sounds – a tiny weeny beach hut that serves the most delicious seafood. I celebrated my last birthday there. It’s idyllic.

Walk: Snapes Point, a promontory which sticks out into the Salcombe estuary. It’s a beautiful walk and my aging border terrier, Marmite’s favourite, with lots of rabbits to chase. Shop: The Salcombe Boatstore. It’s one of those tiny shops that always seems to have exactly what you need.

The Salcombe Boatstore Luscious lobster

Treat: Going to Island Street in Salcombe, buying a couple of lobsters and cooking them myself. Also, the Theatre Royal in Plymouth; there’s always something amazing happening there.

Hangout: Salcombe Yacht Club. It has an amazing view and is where we spend a lot of time sailing. Beach: Smalls Cove in East Portlemouth, near Salcombe. That’s where I go sailing with Tilly every Saturday (we race each other) and was the inspiration for the Portlebay brand. For more information www.portlebaypopcorn.co.uk 30

Peaky Blinders

Our Girl

It’s the roaring 20s, and the criminal Shelbys of Birmingham have returned for a new run of this period drama. Thomas is determined to develop the Shelby business by whatever means possible. But an arch enemy from the past shows up, and it seems only a matter of time before he puts a spanner in the works. We’re expecting big things of actors Cillian Murphy, Helen McCrory and Tom Hardy, who can bring the true spirit of this era’s gritty battles to life.

SUNDAY The question that everyone’s asking in this army drama is whether Molly Dawes has got what it takes to be a soldier in Afghanistan. She’s even asking it of herself. Sure, she turned her aimless life around by joining the army, but has she learned enough to survive this dessert challenge? We see the stubborn streak that characterised

last year’s one-off drama (of the same name) as Molly ignores her captain’s advice and strikes up a friendship with a little local girl named Bashira. When Bashira lets slip a vital piece of information, Molly’s in the hot seat again. Has she put her own life, and that of her new friend, in mortal danger? She’s got a lot to learn.

Well, the subjects of this series really do deserve everything they get – they are all battling one of the most deadly diseases in the world. This is the Stand Up to Cancer campaign, and it’s payback time – as you may have seen in this cute animation trailer. 31

Our Girl (BBC1, 9pm)

When we first met Molly Dawes in last year’s one-off drama Our Girl, she seemed as unlikely a soldier as…well, actress Lacey Turner’s other famous alter ego, Stacey from EastEnders. Yet over the course of Our Girl, viewers saw directionless Molly turn her life around by joining the army. In fact, she did such a good job, she’s now being posted to Afghanistan for her own five-part series - but it seems she hasn’t entirely lost her rebellious spirit. Captain James warns her against becoming too involved with the locals, which gives his young comrade pause - but it looks like the realisation might have come too late, as her new local friend Bashira lets slip a vital piece of information the unit has no choice but to act upon. Has Molly inadvertently managed to put her own life, as well as that of her new friend, in danger?

Never Mind the Buzzcocks (BBC2, 10pm)

The comedy music quiz returns for a 28th series, after almost two decades. The era of Mark Lamarr seems long gone; even Simon Amstell’s tenure feels like ages ago now. Welsh stand-up comic Rhod Gilbert steps in as new full-time host, joining regular team captains Noel Fielding and Phill Jupitus for all manner of fun. Guests on the first episode are Hackney-based rapper Professor Green, standup comedian and recent panel show favourite Roisin Conaty, The 1975’s frontman Matt Healy and sports presenter and former gymnast Gabby Logan. Rhod says: “Never Mind the Buzzcocks deserves to be on air. Panel shows have been around for a fair old while and some of them have got their critics. Some of them you say: ‘Does this need to be there?’ But this one definitely does.”

Ramsay’s Costa Del Nightmares (Channel 4, 9pm)

We all dream at some point of packing in the nine-to-five and moving to sunnier climes for a life of sandy beaches and laid-back living... but then there are the brave few who actually dare to do it. Sometimes, the dream goes a bit pear shaped: that posh, well-visited eatery you dreamed of running is actually deserted, and life has become a pennypinching rat race, sunshine or no. The unlucky people featured in this series have found themselves in that exact situation. Luckily, there’s a lifeline on its way - in the shape of Gordon Ramsay. In tonight’s episode, Ramsay is in Capbreton, in south west France. Here, Tim and Debbie are at a loss how to save their struggling three-year-old restaurant, Le Deck, which has more staff than it does customers.
