So, September is here at last

...and even though we left school quite some while ago (ahem), it still feels, somehow, like the start of a new year. We’re not picking our exam options - thank goodness - but we do still see the value of getting a nice warm coat for autumn and a smart new satchel, too. See page 24 for some great autumn fashion ideas. And if your loved ones - or you - are taking on new academic challenges, you’ll find our pick of back-to-school gadgets on page 29. They’re fun, for all ages. Craft is a key trend these days, and many of us are making one-of-a-kind treats for ourselves, our homes and our loved ones. Excitingly, many of us are actually making a living from being creative, too. Check out page 10 for the story of a truly inspiring jeweller from north Devon, and the chance to win a gorgeous necklace. September is known for superb surfing here in the Westcountry - the legendary September swells will soon be with us. Back in the day, the waters of the South West were dominated by young men on surfboards. Today, you’re just as likely to find women - of every vintage - riding the waves. We head to north Cornwall to meet some of them, see page 14. Finally, TV chef Tim Maddams has some recipe ideas for autumn blackberries on page 28. Blackberry and bacon sandwiches? Why not!

Interview

GEORGIE ROBERTS

Traveller’s jewels Self-taught jewellery designer Georgie Roberts brings home bright stones from her worldwide adventures. Her simple, pretty fashions were an instant Westcountry hit, and now her label, Wanderlust, is topping everyone’s wishlist. It’s not all easy, though: behind every sparkle there’s a lot of graft

By Sarah Pitt

eorgie Roberts has been doing a lot of burning the midnight oil recently. During the day, the 29-yearold works in an art gallery, but after hours, she gets down to work at the home she shares with her partner in Croyde on the north Devon coast, threading beautiful multifaceted stones onto delicate cord. The end results are pendants with a distinct beach vibe, so understated they could never be labelled as bling. Georgie’s necklaces, inspired both by the wide sands of Woolacombe Bay close to where she lives and her love of travelling to far-flung places, have been flying out of boutiques and galleries across the Westcountry. It all started with an order for several necklaces from the owner of a tea room in her home village who has branched out into selling handmade gifts. “She is a jewellery designer by trade and she said ‘I really want to put them in the shop, they

are really different,’” says Georgie. “She was the first person to stock them and they started flying out the door.” Soon Georgie was seeing her designs being worn by cool surfer girls on the beach, and devotees were posting pictures of themselves wearing the pendants on the social networking site Instagram. The semi-precious stones come in irresistible colours, bright cobalt blue, searing orange and delicate sea green, and everyone seems to have a favourite. Some wear just a single necklace, but others buy them in different lengths and wear several at once. All this means that business is booming for Georgie, who has acquired a string of discerning stockists by word of mouth, including the funky Roo’s Beach at Mawgan Porth on the north Cornwall coast.

“They have been doing really well, and I’ve also just sent a shipment out to a store in LA, which is really cool,” says Georgie. “I only wish there were 25 hours in the day! I work in an art gallery in Ilfracombe five days a week, so I have to fit in making my jewellery after hours, which means it is pretty full on!” While Georgie is of an artistic bent, with a degree in illustration, she has no craft background in jewellery making. Her inspiration for her brand, which she’s appropriately called Wanderlust, has come from her love of travelling. Each winter, Georgie and her partner Rob, who runs a beach bar and eatery in Croyde, shut up shop after the summer rush has died down and head off to explore the world. “I spent years managing the restaurant,” explains Georgie. “We’d work very long hours in the summer and then go travelling in the winter.”

Interview

Over the years they’ve visited Indonesia and other parts of South East Asia, India and Mexico and other central American countries. And wherever they go, Georgie always makes a beeline for the markets, attracted by their colour and bustle. On one trip, she came back with some semiprecious stones. They sowed the seed of an idea. “I have always had a real love of jewellery and decided I needed to do something to get my creativity flowing,” she said. “I pinpointed what I wanted to do, something very simple and very understated, and I started to play around. “The designs are quite simple, and I taught myself how to put them together. I made one for myself, and I gave one to my sister. It has taken off from there. “I started looking for stones, and I source them from all over the world, including India and America. With the necklaces, I love the idea that you are carrying a little bit of somewhere else around with you.” The stones are cut to Georgie’s specifications, multi-faceted and twinkle in the light. The cord they are threaded on to is very delicate, so that the stones give the impression of floating on the skin. “Even people who don’t usually wear jewellery like wearing them because they are so light,” says Georgie. “They are such pretty little things, which everyone can wear. I think that is why they have become so popular.” They are also just right for wearing with a casual T-shirt and shorts or sundress on the beach, as Georgie herself does on the sands right on her doorstep. “My partner surfs, so whenever it all gets too much we head down there,” she says. Georgie has always lived in this part of the world, growing up in Instow, where her parents still live. “I have always lived by the sea and I

couldn’t imagine living in the city,” she says. “When you have such beautiful surroundings, you don’t need a lot more. I hope the simplicity of living down here is reflected in the design of my jewellery.” However much she loves the feel of the sand of home between her toes, though, she still has a hankering for far-away places. This winter, she and her partner are heading off to South Africa, where she’s hoping to source work by other designers to sell alongside her own creations on her website. She’s already making a start with clutch bags handmade by a designer called Nene, who also lives beside a beach, in California. “I want to work with designers from all over the world,” she says. “I’m really hoping that

when I go to South Africa that there will be some amazing designers there.” And right now, Georgie is at working on a series of birthstone necklaces, one for each month of the year. “A lot of people have contacted me asking for birthstones, and I have friends who have had babies who want to buy them for their children,” she says. In time she hopes to give up her day job to concentrate on her jewellery. She has also started making earrings, although her necklaces remain the bestseller. “I think what everyone likes is that they are so simple,” she says. “It is almost as if that is what makes them so different.” Visit www.wanderlustlife.co.uk.

WATER WORLD

In praise of surfing women

[

Just a decade ago, Westcountry surfing was a sport almost entirely dominated by men. Today, things have certainly changed - for the better. West magazine tracks down the women who are ruling the waves

By Kathryn Clarke-McLeod

o ahead and type ‘surfer girl’ into Google. Then click on ‘images.’ Sit back and watch as your screen fills with a heady mix of young, invariably blonde, and almost certainly scantily-clad bronzed goddesses frolicking in turquoise surf. In my search results, two out of three of these women are surfing in a thong. Hmmm... I’m researching my upcoming visit to SurfGirl magazine’s Waves and Workouts Weekend. With the tagline ‘find your inspiration’, this women-only retreat at Retorrick Mill, Mawgan Porth, offers sunrise yoga, surf lessons, massage workshops and beach boot camps. I’m interested in seeing how the women who visit Devon and Cornwall’s beaches compare to the pervasive stereotypes that surround the fairer sex in this sport. Forty-eight hours later and two things have

become crystal clear. First, you need to forget everything you thought you knew about the British female surfing population, as Louise Searle, editor of Surfgirl magazine, explains: “For most women learning in the UK is more than a little hardcore as the water is quite cold from October to May. It takes a lot of dedication and motivation to progress.” Secondly, the reality is way, way more inspiring than those images on Google. The women who immerse themselves in British waters are made of the toughest stuff, and certainly can’t be pigeonholed. The youngest of the weekend’s attendees is 22, the oldest 40. The water here at Mawgan Porth is a steely grey, and just 14 degrees. Five millimetre thick wetsuits take the place of bikinis, and a stiff onshore breeze has turned the ocean into a heaving mass of white water. Yet not one of the ten attendees backs out

The women who immerse themselves in British waters are made of the toughest stuff

of the surf session. In fact they go in smiling. Louise reveals that it’s been known for the pro surfers on surfing’s Women’s World Tour to be chosen at an early age for their looks and fast tracked through the ranks. “But in SurfGirl we try to portray ‘normal’ surfers doing what they enjoy. They may not be the best surfers in the world but they’re having fun and living their dream, and that’s what it’s all about.” So who are these fearless creatures? I caught up with four of them back on the beach, to find out what drew them to the sport, and why they think that female surfers are, increasingly, ruling the Westcountry waves.

‘The quality of female surfing at an elite level has sky-rocketed over the past five years’

ABBI HUGHES, 22 Assistant editor, Surfgirl Magazine Water time: Surfing since she was 10 A familiar face in the water in Newquay, Abbi fell in love with surfing at an early age. When she was just 10 years old, Abbi spent the week at a surf camp in Jersey. At the end of the week she entered a local competition and was placed an impressive second. Abbi continued to compete professionally and was sponsored by Billabong between the ages of 14 and 18. During this time she was a regular on the podium. She took a break from the competitive circuit to focus on her studies. She achieved a first class BA (Hons) degree in Marine and Natural History Photography at Falmouth University. Abbi is now focused on making a comeback in the competitive arena and was recently placed second at the annual Ten Board Challenge in Cornwall. “I’m hoping the days of women surfers being known only for what they wear on the beach and not for their sporting performance are now firmly behind us. “There’s now a real hunger to win amongst the top 17 gifted girls on this year’s professional world tour. The level and quality of female surfing at an elite level has sky-rocketed in the past five years.” Prize money is increasing, event locations are becoming more demanding and female athletes are required to develop and build on their performance in the water simply to stay in the running for a top 10 placing, says Abbi “It’s really exciting and encouraging to see the effect this is having on female surfing in general. More and more girls are getting involved every day and now we have amazing role models.”

‘I have come out on the other side of a life-changing event genuinely happy’

MarGaret de Valois, 38 Freelance pensions actuary and director of West End musicals including Spamalot, Jesus Christ Superstar Water time: 8 months Margaret is a regular on the Flybe 7.30am Newquay to London flight on Monday mornings. Mags (as she is known by her friends) started surfing when she went through her divorce. “I wanted to rediscover something I loved from my childhood. Something just for me. So I decided to learn to stand up on a surfboard. I bodyboarded a lot as a child and always wanted to take the next step.” A male colleague’s offhand remark of ‘Surfing’s hard, you couldn’t do it’ added fuel to the fire. Fast forward a few months and not only does Mags confidently ride waves in challenging conditions, but she has also surfed with her doubting colleague. “I was determined to prove him wrong, so it’s funny that we are such good friends now. We often surf together.” Mags is an actuary and pension specialist who has appeared on BBC’s Daily Politics and debated with Conservative chairman Grant Shapps and Labour MP Margaret Curran. Surfing has, she says, transformed her physically as well as mentally. “I have totally immersed myself in the lifestyle,” she says. “Surfing has been a big help in the last year, it has given me something to focus on. I have come out on the other side of a life-changing event genuinely happy. “Through it I connected with myself again. I relearnt how much I love the water and the outdoors, and I found a part of myself that was lost. I have gained a lot of respect from people for learning to surf. My family and friends say ‘wow,’ and sometimes, so do I.”

People ‘I promise you, you’re not going to think about how you look when you catch a wave’ ‘In surfing, you are forced to be completely in the moment. It is a meditation.’

ALLY TOULLEC, 25

Events manager, Unwired Ventures Water time: 4 years Mum-of-two Pam lives in Teddington, London, but visits Bantham Beach in South Devon at least every six weeks Pam caught the beach bug teaching her four-year-old son to bodyboard. After catching a few waves with him she was hooked. She signed up for surfing classes, and stood up on her board in her very first lesson. “My job is quite demanding,” says Pam. “It’s in a fast-paced corporate environment, and involves a lot of logistics and technology. When I am in the sea, I can forget about all of that. When you catch a wave, there are no kids, no work, no social media and no email. You are forced to be completely in the moment. It is a meditation. I especially like to be the first one in the sea, very early in the morning.” What drew her to the ocean later in life? “When you get older you shrug off peer pressure and just do whatever makes you happy,” she laughs. “But just seeing how the female consciousness has changed in the last 25 years is remarkable. I certainly don’t remember seeing any girls surfing in the water when I was growing up, or even a decade ago in fact. “But the social landscape has changed. Now, women can do as they please and that includes looking at a sport and deciding to give it a whirl, at any age. Maybe my progression will be slower learning at 40, but I’m definitely having just as much fun.”

Water time: 4 years Originally from Paris, Ally now lives in Bristol Ally started learning to surf while she was at Kingston University. “We took a trip to Newquay for my 21st birthday. While I was there I had a lesson with my best friend. It was so much fun, I was hooked.” Ally is also a Master Scuba Dive Trainer and has taught diving in South East Asia, Australia and the Maldives. “I love the water, so learning to surf is a natural extension for me,” she says. She feels the explosion of water-women is not a phenomenon confined to surfing. “I have seen a huge increase in the number of female divers in the last four years. “I think the biggest catalyst for the rise in participants is the emergence of a lot more female instructors. When women start taking their sports seriously and turning them into a profession, they open doors for their peers.” Ally also believes that body image issues are still holding a lot of women back. “Women are bombarded with images of bikini-clad perfection. The idea of putting their own bodies into lycra or wetsuits on a boat or beach is just too daunting sometimes, especially in a maledominated environment.” “These extreme sports strip us of our gender differences and the mental angst that can come with them. I promise you, you’re not going to think about how you look when you see a whale shark or catch your first wave. There is true peace of mind in the ocean.”

Question time with Anne

This week’s gardening tips

Anne responds to West reader’s garden concerns and queries

Anne’s advice for your garden

My carrots looked good but when I pulled them, they have damaged and mouldy roots.

This will be down to carrot root fly, whose larvae tunnel into the roots and then let in secondary rots and slugs. There are resistant varieties and you can try erecting a 60cm/2ft high clear polythene barrier around the crop because the fly tends to stick at ground level. However I’ve found the only way of lifting an undamaged crop is to cover them thoroughly throughout their growth period with fleece or fine mesh so the fly can’t get in.

Four years ago, I planted a handkerchief tree in our garden but it has not grown very much and some shoots have died back. Should I start again?

Davidia involucrata is one of those trees that take your breath away when in bloom. Each flower is surrounded by a pair of white bracts, futtering downwards like white leaves, or handkerchiefs. It is also known as dove or ghost tree. You do need patience as young trees often take several years to put down a good root system before they make much top growth. We have a young Ptelea trifoliata ‘Aurea’ (golden hop tree) very much biding its time but I’m not especially worried about it. A mulched, weedfree planting circle will help, as will a spring dressing of slow release fertiliser for trees and shrubs. Davidia will not tolerate waterlogging, so check the planting area drains well, especially in winter. Too much or too little water can cause die-back.

•T ransplant seedlings of hardy lettuce one per pot or module prior to planting out. •P lant other hardy salad crops out but make sure they are in lines or squares of the right shape to fit under cloches or tunnel cloches needed for winter protection. •P ot rooted cuttings of pelargo-

niums, fuchsias, penstemons and so forth into small pots. But after September, don’t disturb them until next spring. • Place a tile or small rectangle of wood under the ripening fruits of large pumpkins. This protects them from soil and stones which can distort the fruit.

under glass. Or wait and plant straight to good soil 10cm/4in deep in late April. Guard new young shoots from slugs and snails.

In cold areas or where you want to clear the bed, lift tubers a week after stems are blackened by frost. Cut stalks to 10cm/4in and prop upside down for a week under cover to dry off.

Avoid planting out dahlias in leaf until after the last frosts.

Place tubers in trays with dryish once-used compost round them, or wrap in newspaper and leave in a cool, frost free shed for the winter, inspecting occasionally. In March unwrap and pot up, keeping them

For cuttings lay a dormant tuber into a tray of moist compost and place in a warm heated propagator. Root the shoots and they’ll flower the same year. Tall dahlias will need staking. Also, either add a slow release fertiliser to their bed, or give them a liquid feed every two weeks

to topiary by tidying up spirals, cones, pyramids and balls of box, Ilex crenata (a small-leaved holly) and Lonicera nitida. Look around for other plants which lend themselves to shaping. Rosemary, bay, santolina and lemon verbena are candidates.

Nip the tips out of basil plants as they rise up to flower, as this will make their leaves stay fresh and usable for longer. Remember to water basils only in the morning, as they suffer from damp cold roots at night.

MODERN MANORS

East, west home’s best

[

Kishanda Fulford visits London, but isn’t convinced

‘

hy, when I live in the country would I want to walk through Hyde Park? I see nothing but green grass all day long,’ I said to my husband as we walked out of Paddington Station. I was dreaming of a ride in a taxi, dumping the suitcase, and then going into every shop I could until they closed. He won the argument, however, so we set off park-wards to see the recently re-vamped Kensington Palace. We went through the gates and into the park. It is really quite surprising how much ‘country’ there is in London. Our stroll took us along neat paths, past Victorian fountains planted with yellow irises, and a huge equestrian statue. Another path, and there at the end was Kensington Palace, whose beauty is blighted by a hideous, jarring modern Hilton Hotel nearby. Rather than allow myself to be cross about the Hilton, I contemplated what I might have been wearing if - if - I had been allowed to go shopping. Strangely though, the only thing worth commenting on was that every woman I saw was in trainers, regardless of what else they were wearing. It could have been Dior but they still wore trainers. It is not only ladies’ fashions that catch the eye. Before me, in Hyde Park, strolling towards the Round Pond, was a man in a black T shirt top with a light, ever-so-soft black leather jacket and some white jeans. These white jeans ended midway on his delicate calf. Below were three inches of flesh then fancy socks peeping out of boots. Was this a good look? I pondered. What would I like my sons to be wearing? Would I prefer that they wore jeans cut off just at that very point you could only describe as very silly. Were they shorts? Or trousers? I think that I

[

would rather that the boys stick to the style they currently favour - low-slung trousers that expose the tops of your underpants. On to Kensington Palace. The Queen’s staircase looks like an amateur set in a village pantomime. I stood there with my mouth open. At the bottom of the staircase lies a pile of old leather suitcases with a very white rope curled on the top

[

In London, every woman I saw was in trainers, regardless of what else they were wearing of them. In between them is a branch which has a flag flying on the top, and off this are strung a load of glass bottles. As you go up the stairs you are in danger of hitting your head on these bottles. There are also cut out paper hangings depicting a lady looking up the staircase at a man on a horse. These flimsy silhouettes are curling at the edges. I can’t imagine any Queen, past or present, would drape such a grand staircase with such rubbish. In places the Palace is so dark that you cannot see what you are looking at – in one small darkened room is Mary of Modena’s bed. Yet in front of this historic bed are masses of small boxes filled with paper cutouts of ladies in con-

temporary dress. The boxes stand higher than my waist, and languishing behind these boxes is the Jacobean bed draped in its original velvet hangings. It is impossible to admire the bed and I was quite cross. In their defence the head of Kensington Palace says, ‘Our presentation of the State Apartments as they would have looked in the 17th and 18th centuries can come as a surprise to some of our visitors.’ The cost of this ‘restoration’ was about twelve million pounds. In their favour, I would say that they have really thought about how everyone wants to sit down in every room. In the main lobby there is a circular leatherbound seat that suggests that if you are really tired, you can crash out. I left my husband here to visit the excellent ‘powder room’ and returned to find him horizontal on the leather couch. I returned somewhat forlornly to the great cathedral city of Exeter. My suitcase no heavier than it was when we left. I did think, though, that there really is no need for us to go to London. We have yet to place ‘multi-media installations’ in front of our 600-year-old Jacobean bed and we are, I now know, just as fashionable as the ‘beau monde’. Well, that is, apart from my boys and their trousers. 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.

Wellbeing

Plenty

Want to lose weight? Find out when enough is enough

ortion control is one of the simplest ways to maintain a healthy diet and to lose weight, but many of us don’t know what a sensible portion of food actually looks like. “As supermarkets and restaurants serve increasingly large portions, our perception of what is a normal, healthy amount of food has changed. More often than not this results in us overeating,” says Lovisa Nilsson, in-house nutritionist at health and fitness app www.lifesum.com. “As well as being aware of the fat, sugar, and calories in a food item, remember to think about its size – often a packet of food that appears to be a single serving will actually contain two or three recommended portions,” says Lovisa. “Small changes can make a difference in the long run. By eating two sandwiches instead of three, for example, you cut out 150 kcal per day, which adds up to 1000 kcal per week.” Lovisa’s tips to help you evaluate your portions:

CRUNCH

1 Learn how to visualise a portion A serving of meat, for example should be about

LADIES WHO

the size of the palm of your hand. A portion of cheese is the size of four dice, aim for a tennis ball serving of pasta and a piece of fish the size of a cheque book. 2 Use smaller crockery It sounds obvious but by using smaller plates, bowls and glasses, you will be less tempted to over-serve yourself. 3 Measure spreads and cooking oil By adding excess spread to toast and too much oil when you cook, you could be raising your calorie

intake unnecessarily. Measure first: a teaspoon of butter is 37 calories, a tablespoon is three times as much at 111 calories. 4 Pay attention to your hunger Aim to stop eating when you are about 80% full, so that you give your brain enough time to catch up with your stomach. Start with a smaller helping, you can always go back for more if genuinely hungry. www.lifesum.com is Scandinavia’s leading personalised health and fitness app, now available in the UK

this week: KALASH TRIBAL Lucy Wright, 39, is a conservator from Tiverton. Her workout of choice is Kalash Tribal – American tribal style belly dance classes, held at the Exe Valley Leisure Centre and Exeter’s Phoenix Centre. I had never found a form of exercise that I enjoyed enough to want to stick at until I chanced upon Kalash Tribal at a local festival. I started going to Kelley Beeston’s classes and totally fell in love. It’s a group dance, mixing flamenco, traditional belly dance, North African gypsy and classical Indian moves. We’re given non-verbal cues from a leader, to tell us which move is coming next.

A typical class will consist of a warm-up, stretches, a breakdown of a few moves each week and huge amounts of fun and laughter. For me, this has built my fitness,stamina and core strength, not to mention confidence in both body and mind. It’s made a huge difference to my life and I now attend four classes a week. www.kalash-tribal.co.uk

EATING OUT

By Becky Sheaves

have had a meal cooked by Ian Webber before. It was a six-course extravaganza at the two-star Michelin restaurant Gidleigh Park, on Dartmoor when Ian was head chef there. Each dish was exquisite, full of intense flavours and intricately presented – it was truly one of the most spectacular meals I have ever eaten. Courses arrived covered by silver domes, whipped off with panache by attentive waiting staff, who almost outnumbered the diners. Fast forward a couple of years, though, and I heard that Ian has left the fine dining of Gidleigh Park to become head chef at, of all things, a village pub. Quite near where I live in East Devon, too. What can be going on? I wondered, and headed over to find out. Well, it turns out that The Five Bells at Clyst Hydon is indeed Ian’s new home – professionally speaking. And home cooking is very much on the menu here. He is offering a menu of classic pub food, but with a serious sprinkle of culinary magic. It’s a change of lifestyle for a chef who started his career cooking in a farm shop café hereabouts, before winning South West Chef of the Year. My eye was caught by Ian’s menu speciality, a sharing dish which is, he explains, based on the sort of recipe he would cook for family and friends on a day off. Ian’s One Pot Roast Chicken feeds four-six people at a cost of £60 to include dessert. It sounded perfect for my husband John and me, plus three hungry youngsters. Just in case, though, we also ordered some starters to share. These were beautifully presented and arrived on slates, looking a million dollars and tasting it too. We had barbecue mackerel with tomato, radish and French bean salad (£6.50), a delicious duck liver parfait with gooseberry and hazelnut (£6.95) and - perhaps best of

People I love Croyde beach which is quite small, but it’s got beautiful sand dunes and scenery

My Secret Westcountry

Baggy Point

Teeki yoga wear

Katie Cotton Singing teacher Katie is married to pro surfer Andrew Cotton and lives in North Devon. She imports eco-friendly Teeki yogawear from the US, in partnership with Croyde Yoga. Here, she shares her favourite places with us... Pub: The King’s Arms in Georgeham is our local pub run by Steve Cave. It has good food, and it’s very hospitable – a good, friendly, fun pub. It has live music which is great – I play there with various bands, and go to watch other bands, too. Walk: I love to walk around Baggy Point at Croyde Beach. It’s run by the National Trust. It’s quite a rugged walk so my son Ace who’s only two can’t do it yet. But my daughter Honey is six, and we love to do it together. Beach: I love Croyde beach which is quite small, but it’s got beautiful sand dunes and scenery. Putsborough is another of my favourites, just around the bay. It’s a much longer beach – you can see for miles – and it’s got brilliant rock pools which the the kids love to mess around in.

Event: It’s got to be Glastonbury. I’ve probably been 10 or 12 times. It is so amazing, and it’s right on our doorstep here in the South West. I also organise a charity festival called the Big C in Croyde in July, in aid of the breast cancer charity Coppafeel. We held it at the Blue Groove restaurant this year and it was really good fun.

Shop: Squires Fish and Chips in Braunton. People come from all over to have fish and chips here. Of course, I’m vegetarian, so I usually end up with a veggie burger! It’s owned by a hardworking local family and has a great atmosphere.

Picnic: I would pack warm granary bread, hummus, olives, various cheeses, and sundried tomatoes. Raspberries for dessert, and to drink, it has to be Champagne!

MONDAY

21 Up: New Generation Follow the lives of Ryan from Bolton, John from Slough and Orala from Hackney as they pursue their goals in this revival of an avant-garde 1960s documentary. The Up series of documentaries clocks in with its subjects every seven years: this new generation has reached the threshold of societal adulthood. Will they reveal more about the zeitgeist than they know?

BBC1, 9pm

WEDNESDAY ITV, 8pm

TUESDAY

Harry at 30 Our Zoo Learn the story behind Chester Zoo in this compelling drama. Soldier George Mottershead is haunted by memories of the Great War, and frustrated by his living situation above the family grocer’s. When he takes pity on a mistreated camel and monkey at Liverpool docks, he sees that his life could change forever. Will his family get behind his dream of a new zoo?

Prepare to feel old: Prince Harry is turning 30 on September 15. We have watched Prince William’s younger brother grow through childhood, some wild party years, an army career and recently, taking on more official duties and charity causes. This programme goes behind the headlines to find out more about Prince Harry from people who were close to him. Learn some insights from royal correspondents, an army chief, and the Queen’s former press officer Dickie Arbiter, who talks about the devastating impact of Diana’s death on the lives of her two sons.

Learn more about Prince Harry’s latest project, The Invictus Games, a brand new Olympic-style event for wounded soldiers. There are other subjects close to his heart, too – and he’s not afraid to stand up to the press when occasion demands. The Evening Standard’s Royal Editor Robert Jobson says: “I remember once he had a pop at me because I’d written a story about him. But I quite admire him for that, he will stand up for his position he won’t just smooth it over - he will say what he wants to say and then that will be it.”

The Two Amigos: A Gaucho Adventure (BBC Two, 9pm)

The Fast Show mates John Thomson and Simon Day visit South America for the latest of the BBC’s “funnymen on a mission” theme. They will undergo three intense weeks of training, learn about horse handling, lassoing and herding. Eventually the magnificent two will work alongside traditional gauchos on a cattle drive in the foothills of the Andes Mountains. This challenge is not for the faint hearted. The city slickers hope to bring 200 cattle down a mountain pass, with 50 miles of riding over three days and nights. Aside from seeing the funnymen pushed to their limits, it offers a fascinating insight into the threatened culture of the Argentinian gaucho. John and Simon start their Argentinian adventure at a festival near the town of Pilar, where 10,000 gauchos and supporters meet to celebrate their heritage.

21 Up: New Generation (BBC1, 10.35pm)

The “Up” series started in 1964 with Seven Up!, a documentary about a group of seven-year-olds. The show revisited them every seven years: the latest instalment, 56 Up, aired in 2012. This revival follows the lives of a new generation of people from all walks of life. It’s these fascinating individuals who return for their latest instalment, shown in two parts on Monday and Tuesday. Subjects include John, a builder and BMX enthusiast from Slough, and Hackney student Orala, who is pursuing her passion for songwriting and performing. Meanwhile, Ryan from Bolton, who suffers from cerebral palsy, is studying for a sports degree while harbouring a dream of playing for the GB wheelchair rugby team. He’s come a long way since last we saw him, and he’s enjoying the newfound freedom of having a car.

Harry at 30 (ITV, 8pm)

If you can still remember Princess Diana posing with her youngest son on the steps of St Mary’s Hospital, then prepare to feel very old - on September 15, Prince Harry will turn 30. Prince Henry of Wales, to give him his official title, has grown up in front of the cameras. While there may be some photographs he’d rather forget, he’s nonetheless very popular. This programme attempts to go behind the headlines and find out more about his path from mischievous youngster to respected soldier. Contributors include royal correspondents, former army chief Lord Richard Dannatt, and the Queen’s former press officer, Dickie Arbiter, who talks about the devastating impact of Diana’s death. Look out for a preview of Harry’s latest project, The Invictus Games, a brand new Olympic-style event for wounded soldiers.

Our Zoo (BBC One, 9pm, regions vary)

This new fact-based drama series explores the family behind Chester Zoo. Star Lee Ingleby (also known as George Gently’s sidekick Bacchus) plays George Mottershead, a soldier haunted by memories of the Great War, and frustrated at being forced to live in his parents’ cramped home above the family grocery with his wife and two children. Then a trip to Liverpool docks gives him a new purpose in life when he takes pity on a mistreated camel and monkey. Before long, he’s planning to give a new home to even more animals by opening a zoo, where the creatures will have the freedom and space to roam around. Can he convince his family to support his dream, or will they think he’s the one who could do with being locked up?

Chasing Shadows (ITV, 9pm)

Reece Shearsmith plays DS Sean Stone, a misfit who struggles to deal with people and is reassigned to a missing person’s unit after offending his boss. There he meets Ruth Hattersley (Alex Kingston), who quickly realises how useful he could be when it comes to finding lost souls. Noel Clarke plays their boss, DI Prior. Their first case involves the disappearance of 16-year-old schoolgirl Taylor, and will be told over two nail-biting episodes. The cast list for this gripping drama is impressive, and introduces Sean as an unusual hero - one we reckon could run and run. It’s also good to see Shearsmith fulfilling his potential. He’s certainly on a roll, having already tasted success this year with A Field in England, Inside No 9 and The Widower. Chasing Shadows could, however, top the lot.

Piers Morgan’s Life Stories: Alesha Dixon (ITV, 9pm)

Piers Morgan, more successful as a chat show host than he ever was as editor of the Daily Mirror, returns for a new run of his candid interview series. First up to face the host’s probing questions is singer and Britain’s Got Talent judge Alesha Dixon. If anyone knows the peaks and troughs of the showbiz world, it’s Alesha - after finding fame with Mis-Teeq and as a solo artist, she lost her record contract and the same week, discovered her husband was having an affair. More recently, she faced a public backlash after she was named as Arlene Phillips’ replacement as a judge on Strictly Come Dancing. These days, Alesha manages to successfully juggle motherhood with songwriting and TV work, which, as she explains to Piers, is not without its challenges.

My life

[

man and boy

A cliff-hanger ending Phil Goodwin takes a high wire ride with a difference

love the classic 1969 caper movie The Italian Job. The (literal) cliffhanger ending is arguably one the most magical moments of British movie history, a scene burned into the retina of generations of cinema lovers. Michael Caine is the bank robber Charlie Croker, edging towards the gold bullion at the tail end of a coach which is dangling precariously over the edge of a steep mountain pass outside Turin. The situation seems hopeless as Caine’s every move threatens to send the loot and the bus plummeting into the abyss, until… a solution seems to appear. I imagine balancing thousands of feet in the air and contemplating your doom is no joke, especially if, like me, you’re not fond of heights. Such things are on my mind because, to mark the approaching end of our annual family sojourn to Russian relatives in Sochi, we planned a trip to the high mountains, which tower over the Black Sea coast. Sports fans will remember the Olympic resort of Rosa Khutor (pronounced hooter) from the Winter Games back in February. The oncequiet mountain village has been turned into a giant state-of-the-art ski resort. Among its new attractions is a luxury water-funpark. For young James, this bewildering spaghetti of spiralling slides and sculpted pools had become an object of extreme desire. And thus a day was set aside to take a cable car ride to the summit, followed by an afternoon of aqua-fun. But some things, as they say, are just not meant to be. First my wife was attacked by a tiny swarm of wasps as we strolled along the new riverside boulevard. So severe was the swelling that it required a trip

to the medical centre, followed by a visit to the pharmacy which ended with a warning to keep out of water for two days. Well, one man down, but I was still fit enough for the aqua park. So off we went to the cable car. Now I like to remain on terra firma. I don’t parachute, paraglide or bungee jump. This, I tell myself, is just common sense - if you don’t go up, you can’t fall down. I made an exception for the cable car on a number of grounds: the thing is

I foresaw the horror of containing and restraining a full-scale tantrum, up there in nothingness

brand new, I wanted to go to the top and, more importantly, I didn’t want to look a coward in front of my four-year-old son and father-inlaw, who taunted me mercilessly at the mere suggestion I might wimp out. Of course, as expected, the trip was palmsoaking. But we made it. Breath-taking views, etc. And all was fine until James took a serious tumble on the stony road back to the ski station, cutting open both knees. Following a painful picking of gravel from the wounds he recovered his composure but his mum’s reaction cut deeper – the water park was now off, she said firmly. And with this bad news ringing in his ears, the four of us stepped into the silver capsule and were flung into the air high above a yawning gorge. After a few minutes, the thing slowed to a stop and we were left, suspended. And then I noticed the expression of my son had darkened. “I am not happy,” he growled, with a warning quaver in his voice. “I want to go to the water park.” He glared then stamped a heavy foot. The finely balanced car swung a little. Then he pushed me and crossed his arms dramatically. Every small movement caused the car to wobble. I foresaw the horror of a fullscale tantrum, up there in nothingness. Helpless, I looked at my wife, who shook her head slowly. Even granddad looked a bit worried. And then I remembered the Chupa Chups lolly I had stashed in case of emergency. I reached across to my rucksack, and the car moved again.
