His Pebblebed Vineyard is going from strength to strength, despite an early pitch on Dragon’s Den that is still played in Business Studies lectures today as an example of “how not to do it”. Geoff laughed off the critics and got on with pursuing his dream, which certainly is a real inspiration for us all.

‘DEVON IS HELPING’ Laurence Fox says filming in Devon recently has helped take his mind off his marriage split with Billie Piper. The actor has been in the Westcountry filming The Family, about dysfunctional relatives gathered round their dying mother’s bed. Work has helped him get over the panic attacks he suffered when his marriage broke down, he explains: “The physical symptoms of trauma and suffering are profound panic attacks... I’ve never had a panic attack in my life before last year. “It’s like being plugged into an electric socket where you go mental… I haven’t slept for six months, even with sleeping pills. I go to bed the same time, same bed as the kids and just lie awake, sleeping two or three hours. My mind’s

Just

whirring round.” Laurence, 38, the father of Winston, seven; and Eugene, four, says his role in The Family is allowing him to work through some of his own issues. “I have to do a lot of screaming, shouting, emoting and it will be good for me to get it all out, after everything I’ve been through this year.” Oh dear, poor old Laurence...

[[ ‘I couldn’t wear high heels - I’ve broken my foot!’

FIONA’S SHOE SECRETS FIONA BRUCE has described the moment she heard her bone break in a trampolining accident that led to her presenting the news in her trainers. The journalist and presenter caused a stir recently when she was spotted wearing a pair of white sports shoes to read the news. Fiona told the Radio Times her footwear was chosen because she had broken her foot trampolining with her daughter Mia.

She said: “I was about 10 feet up, then I landed and smashed my heel and dislocated the bone above it. “I actually heard it. I was meant to go skiing three weeks later so I was hoping I hadn’t broken it. “But it was very painful and it swelled up to the size of my thigh... so I realised I needed help.” The newsreader underwent emergency surgery and now has a five-inch metal screw and a metal bracket in her foot.

The Birds OF A Feather actress became the fifth celebrity to be voted off the dance floor, while the former shadow chancellor made it through, despite nearly dropping his professional partner KATYA JONES during a lift. Speaking on BBC Two spin-off show It Takes Two, Joseph said: “It’s an entertainment show. You go when you go. That’s it. You can’t weep tears.

Owned by a Torquay resident and dating to about 1350 BC Julien Parsons is the Senior Collections Officer, The Royal Albert Memorial Museum in Exeter. He says: In a tale worthy of Indiana Jones, this hieroglyphic text links a Spanish scholar, an Egyptian tomb, an Exeter asylum and a retired tea tycoon living in Torquay. Are you sitting comfortably? Then let me begin… Earlier this year an Egyptologist from Madrid contacted us at the Royal Albert Memorial Museum. He had spotted a fragment from the tomb of Khaemhat (a scribe in the reign of Amenhotep III) at Thebes, in the museum’s collection. The tomb’s inscription was destroyed in the 19th century and, while casts exist at the Louvre and in Oxford,

the little piece in Exeter is the only known original remnant. It was presented in 1885 by a Mr Horniman of Torquay. Horniman is a familiar name in the museum world. The family made a fortune selling tea and Frederick Horniman collected curiosities from around the world, founding the Horniman Museum in London. Elder brother William is less well known. He retired from the tea business after suffering mental illness and settled in Torquay. From 1881–86 he was at the Wonford Hospital for the Insane in Exeter. The evidence seems compelling. William Henry Horniman must have been the donor of this incredibly important artefact. A mystery remains, however. How did the tea merchant lay his hands on a fragment of Khaemhat’s tomb?

Interview

A glass half full… Geoff Bowen, of Devon’s awardwinning PebblebedVineyard, shares his remarkable story with Chris McGuire

Feature1Wines_Nov12.indd 12

04/11/2016 11:48:48

alking along the country lane that leads to Pebblebed Wines, the scenery could have been lifted directly from the pages of an Enid Blyton Famous Five book. Yet the first thing you see on arrival isn’t four children and a dog called Timmy. Instead, I catch a glimpse of a man sprinting between outbuildings. A moment later he re-appears. “Morning!” he exclaims, still travelling at a pace. The human blur is Geoff Bowen, the man behind Pebblebed Vineyard. It’s not long before Geoff, 52, and I are comfortably ensconced in the kitchen of his farmhouse. Geoff is keen to share his life philosophy: “I’ve got this idea,” he says, as we drink coffee, “there are always several doors ahead of you. So you run to the doors and choose one. Open it and if inside looks half OK, you go through and run to the next set of doors. You’ve just got to take every day and every opportunity as it comes and react accordingly.” Growing up in nearby Exmouth, Geoff developed a lifelong passion for the outdoors. “It was just a wonderful child-

a big step for someone of relatively tender years but Geoff explains: “I saw an opportunity. The Environment Agency was in a state of change and I saw an opportunity for me to provide my expertise.” Over the next 17 years, Geoff’s company (called Marcus Hodges) grew into an industry leader with more than 60 employees based all around the world. Was there a plan behind its success? “Very little planning goes on in my life. Everybody says ‘you’ve got to have plan’, I believe if you don’t have a plan you can’t fail. I think life is such a wonderful set of opportunities and you just take the ones that are ahead of you,” says Geoff. This philosophy led to the next set of doors and the founding of Pebblebed Vineyard. Some friends of Geoff and his wife Anna, 49, had bought a house in Devon with some land attached. “We were all in the pub on a Friday night thinking, what shall we do with the field? Then we thought, let’s plant some vines.” It was, it seems, as simple as that. “In 2002, three years after planting the first vines, we got our first bottle of wine. It’s gone on from there

hood, with the sand always between your toes. What I remember was a sense of freedom. I was encouraged, from a very early age, to do sports – mainly sailing. Since the age of six I had the freedom to go out on the River Exe in a boat… you wouldn’t get that in London.” To use his analogy, it was the profound love of his Westcountry surroundings that took Geoff towards his first set of doors. “I wanted a career with an outdoor element to it. Then this course popped up which was Engineering Geology – which had a large fieldwork element. You spend half your time in the freezing cold and half your time in an office – and that appealed.” So off Geoff went to study in Portsmouth. A master’s degree in Hydro-Geology followed and then, at the age of 24, Geoff set up his own environmental consultancy business. It seems

really.” Soon, bitten by the vineyard bug, Geoff sold Marcus Hodges and was in the wine business. This was a new route with new doors to be tried. Geoff and Anna bought the farm in which they live today and leased additional fields from a nearby farm to turn into vineyards. It was, says Geoff, all much to the neighbouring farmers’ amusement: “So you’re the nutters growing vines in Devon?” was the usual response. But over the past decade or so Pebblebed Vineyard has grown to its current 25 acres, producing 50,000 bottles of wine in a good year. Geoff’s approach to wine is holistic: “For me it’s not just what’s in the glass. It’s more than that. It’s about drinking the view. It’s about seeing the winery and drinking the wine it produces in the location.” Sure enough, tours of the vineyard and winery (with food and wine-tasting) take place at Pebblebed Vineyard three times a week during the summer months, offering people this very experience. Not only that, the public are invited to help harvest the grapes every year, a rural day out that has become a highlight of the local calendar. Geoff is determined Pebblebed Vineyard should follow the continental model: a local wine

‘My aim is to sell all of

our wines within ten miles

of where the grapes grow’ for a local market. This means it doesn’t need large amounts of preservatives. “We put very few preservatives into our wines. Industrial wines will have maybe five to six times what we put in. They’re producing from countries far afield, they’ve got to make sure it doesn’t go off. “My aim is to sell all of our wines within ten miles of where the grapes are grown. We’re producing a local wine and want to, if we can, sell it as locally as possible.” English wine, due to the cooler climate, has a lower alcohol content. “If there is a ‘healthy wine’ then English wine is close to that, with a third less calories - 10 or 11% alcohol rather than

13, 14, 15%,” says Geoff. Good news indeed for the health-conscious connoisseur. My thoughts turn to ‘Dragon’s Den’, where Geoff won the backing of Duncan Bannatyne for an early crowd-funded vineyard idea. Investors could plant and pick their own vines, receiving unique personalised wine at the end of the process. With Geoff’s distaste for plans and structure, this seemed a strange door to go through: “Anna said: ‘I don’t want you doing Dragon’s Den, because you’re going to make a fool of us’.” At this juncture, with impeccable timing, Anna walks into the kitchen and interrupts: “No, I said: ‘You’re going to make a fool of yourself’.” As laughter subsides, Geoff continues: “I said, ‘I

Geoff Bowen traded in a high-flying career to make wine in Devon

think I’ll get away with it somehow’.” For those who haven’t seen the episode (still to be seen on YouTube) Geoff’s appearance on Dragon’s Den doesn’t make easy viewing. Geoff felt the wrath of fellow Westcountry dweller Deborah Meaden, who has a home in Somerset. He grins widely: “It’s shown in all these business schools as: ‘how not to present’.” Typically for Geoff, he sees the positive side. He won Duncan Bannatyne’s backing and the venture thrived. “It’s been very good for us. It gave us good publicity and still does five years on.” Over the years, Pebblebed Wines has developed a strong reputation for quality and collected several awards. Geoff is typically pragmatic. “I’m

not a big one for prizes. The real award is a customer sitting in our wine cellar in Topsham, or here at the vineyard and saying they’ve enjoyed the wine. We did win best sparkling rosé in the Westcountry last year, though, which gives me a warm feeling inside and the understanding we’re doing something right.” With his second career as a winemaker paying dividends, Geoff’s now keen for the ‘life’ element of his work/life balance to get the upper hand. “Family is very important to me - besides family, what have you got?” Anna and Geoff have two daughters, aged 17 and 15, who love the rural life. “There are such wonderful natural facilities here in the South West and a slower pace of life.

You’re not often in traffic jams, are you?” Beyond wine, Geoff has another passion: kitesurfing. His eyes light up at the very mention. “It’s fantastic to skive off from the vineyard on a Friday afternoon, it keeps you feeling young.” As we drain our coffee mugs (and I check my watch to see if the sun’s over the yardarm yet it isn’t), I wonder if Geoff would ever consider yet another career – different to the two so far? There’s a substantial pause: “Never say never. I have a nice lifestyle. It’s not pressured. Look, you’ve got to do something in life – something that gets you up in the morning.” Geoff grins. “Let’s see what the next set of doors holds.” www.pebblebed.co.uk 15

A very special bond Kris Hallenga was diagnosed with breast cancer at 23, after being told by a doctor there was nothing wrong. Shocked into action, she launched an awareness campaign with her sister Maren. The twins, who live in Newquay, tell Sarah Pitt about their ground-breaking charity ’m a little early in Whiskers café in Newquay where I’m meeting Kris and Maren Hallenga, just settling in a window seat when I see them walk in. Blonde and beautiful, the twins are instantly recognisable, synonymous with the charity CoppaFeel they set up back in 2009. With the help of a cheery crew of volunteers, CoppaFeel has spread the message through texts, at music festivals and on university campuses, that young people need to check their breasts. The charity also encourages young women not to be fobbed off by professionals if they are worried about cancer.

Feature2_Nov12.indd 17

It’s a message that Kris and Maren feel passionately about, from personal experience. Breast cancer is rare among young women but it is certainly not unknown. “It also tends to be more aggressive, because young women have more oestrogen. So it is all the more important that it is picked up early,” says Kris, as she sips her herbal tea. This was not what happened to Kris, though, when, aged 22, she went to her doctor, concerned about a lump she had found in one of her breasts. “She said that the it was just hormones, so I went away. Then I didn’t really think much about it at the time until the symptoms got worse and the 17

lump got bigger. Eight months later, I went back, was referred for tests at the hospital, and was subsequently diagnosed.” She says it so matter-of-factly, but the diagnosis was Stage 4 breast cancer, which means it has spread to other organs in the body. Months of chemotherapy to shrink the avocado-sized lump in her left breast, a mastectomy and years of hormonal treatment later, though, and Kris is still here. What’s more, CoppaFeel, which she and Maren founded during those first emergency months of treatment, has gone from strength to strength. CoppaFeel has saved lives, and as Maren points out, has also enhanced them – giving many people, not least the twins themselves, a sense of purpose. While Maren trained as a garden designer at Falmouth University and subsequently worked there, Kris admits to being “pretty directionless” when cancer

ambushed her. “I needed a focus,” she says. “CoppaFeel has been that focus.” Kris’s eyes glitter a bit when I tell her she is brave living with cancer. As they do when I can’t help commenting how well she looks (she really does). Are such comments annoying, I venture? Well, yes, she says with a small smile. “For me, being brave is going into a burning building and saving someone’s life. I don’t have an option but to turn up at hospital to have treatment. It is not brave, wanting to stay alive. It is what anyone would do.” She says she never wanted CoppaFeel to be just about herself, “a sad story of a girl with cancer” but there’s no denying that her experience has been the oxygen for the charity’s work. Its groundbreaking efforts include sending 50,000 text reminders a year to young people, reminding them to check their breasts for changes. Punchy video clips on the charity’s website show Kris undergoing treatment in hospital, including a close up of the needle going into her arm, over and over again. Just completing her cancer treatment, she won a Pride of Britain Award and went to the ceremony with Maren to collect her award. Her head was

People far from where Maren lives with her husband in St Columb Major. The twins’ mum, Jane, has also recently moved to Cornwall, and they hope their older sister Miike, a teacher in London, will join them for Christmas. “I was away last Christmas on my honeymoon in New Zealand, so I think I owe this Christmas to Kris,” says Maren. Neither of the twins eats meat, although they do eat fish. “Christmas for us is about good food,” says Kris. “We both love cooking and we make time for it at Christmas. We get the chance to try the recipes we have been holding on to all year. We’ll probably do a nut roast for Christmas dinner.” The festive season is about relaxing and spending time together. “In our work, we are always organising events so in our spare time it is nice to just breathe and sit still for a moment.” The twins are close. “It makes us feel very sad when twins don’t get on,” says Maren. “It seems such a waste. We don’t take being twins for granted, that’s for sure.” Maren admits that the worry of losing her sister to cancer “never goes away” but Kris’s positivity has helped her to cope over the years. “She had a plan, to get on with it and do everything in her power to live with her diagnosis and have a positive outcome,” says Maren. “I think if she had been sad and upset, maybe I would have struggled more. But seeing how strong she is makes me strong.” The twins celebrated their 31st birthdays yesterday, on November 11. The really big date for

‘I think if she had been sad or upset, I would have struggled more’ smooth from the treatment but she looked glamorous nonetheless. “I had just finished chemotherapy when I won the Pride of Britain award, and that was a massive thing – when six million people are watching you on TV,” says Kris. “Just after that, I was walking down the street and someone driving past wound down their window and said ‘You’re inspirational’. That’s when I realised that my story really was out there.”

Today, the treatment goes on. Kris had her ovaries removed earlier this year, to stop oestrogen allowing the cancer to spread. She says she has long ago come to terms with the fact she would never have children. Kris is now trying a new drug treatment to control the cancer. Through it all, Maren has been at Kris’s side. In June this year, Kris moved out of London, where she’s lived for six years, and has bought “a little house” in Newquay for herself and her cat, not

them, though, was when they both turned 30 a year ago. “When Kris was diagnosed in her early 20s, I guess we were scared to think that far ahead,” says Maren. “So it meant a lot. We had a party on a Neighbours theme, because the Neighbours TV show turned 30 too, and we had about five Harold Bishops. It was just perfect.” As for the future, the twins hope to make more time for life in Cornwall. “We have a good team now, so we can do that,” says Kris. But there is still so much to do in raising awareness. “It would have been very simple for my doctor to say ‘I’m not worried about this, but come back and see me again if it gets worse’ but she didn’t and so I didn’t go back, and that’s not good enough. So there’s still work to be done.” www.coppafeel.org

Cosy comfort With winter on its way, it’s time to get cosy. Gabrielle Fagan presents her snug strategy ropping temperatures and dark nights mean summer days are gone. But rather than lamenting their passing, let’s focus instead on creating gorgeous winter rooms. This year, the leading interiors trends for the winter season are all about creating a seductive sanctuary or rustic retreat. You can be purist and opt for one or the other, or simply reflect elements of each in a room - both will conjure instant warmth, comfort and luxury. Those elements are, of course, the vital ingredients of hygge (pronounced “hu-gah”), the Danish concept of cosy, peaceful wellbeing which is having a bit of a moment right now. “When it’s cold outside, there’s nothing lovelier than curling up on a sofa, sitting in front of a flickering fire, or snuggling under a cosy blanket or quilt.” says Johnny Jackson, co-author of The Art Of Hygge: How To Bring Danish Cosiness Into Your Life. “Help yourself to enjoy winter by making your home a sanctuary and a delight to the senses, with soft furnishings made of luxurious fabrics, and it will be a place where you can unwind and feel completely rested.” A pared-back setting allows elegant pieces to star and conjures a sophisticated tranquil space, where distracting clutter is banished (or at least kept out of sight). “As the temperature drops, we spend more time indoors and hanker after intimate spaces for snuggling,” says Jenny Gibbs, founder and principal of KLC School of Design. “Neutral schemes are the perfect backdrop for

My daughter is getting married in a few months. I hope to lose a few pounds before the big day but realistically I will never be a size 10. Can you suggest some mother-of-the-bride dresses that are slimming and elegant? GV, St Mawgan

Harley dress £99 Studio 8

Once upon a time, mothers of brides were expected to wear matronly dresses in Easter-egg pastels or washed-out shades of beige to weddings. Thankfully, that’s in the past. But now that MOBs are free to express their personality it can be hard to know where to begin, especially when you’re plus size. Ruching and pleating are a great place to start for women who want to disguise any lumps or bumps, as the extra fabric gives support. A lot of plus size woman are tempted to hide their bodies in layers or oversized clothes but this can make you look bigger than you are. A good fit will streamline your shape and flatter your best assets. Tastefully deep necklines and knee-length skirts instantly slim down a fuller-figure.

Whether you’re 17 or 47, acne flare-ups are one of those little injustices some of us have to deal with. For most women, hormonal changes, either around the monthly cycle or during a menopausal shift, are the culprit. But fear not, by far the best topical medicine for treating acne is benzoyl peroxide. This powerful ingredient is effective against all kinds of acne lesions (blackheads, whiteheads, and big red pimples). It is bactericidal, meaning it kills bacteria rather than simply slowing down their growth. It also works very quickly, improving acne as early as five days after starting treatment. It’s also helpful to use in combination with antibiotics. In fact, benzoyl peroxide has the ability to prevent antibiotic resistance.

Shoe me the way What are the do’s and dont’s of wearing flatforms? DS, Penzance This season there’s a new shoe silhouette stepping onto the scene - the flatform. Part wedge, part flat, this shoe marries fashion and comfort and can be found in just about every shoe store at the moment. You can wear them with a silky slip dress by evening, or crisp tailoring for daytime. Here’s the do’s and dont’s of wearing flatforms… • Do avoid footbeds that are too flat. The foot naturally flexes when we walk, so standing

on a flat three inch block would prevent it from bending, making them difficult to walk in. • Don’t go too high. The higher the shoes the heavier they become, so they will start to feel, and look, like your feet are attached to concrete blocks. The goal is to achieve a look of ‘organic’ height. • Do steer clear of the blocky look. Unless you want to head straight back to the 90s, opt for shoes with side details such as multiple (preferable skinny or medium width) straps or an ankle strap for an updated look.

Penelope Chilvers Pioneer boots, £329, www.penelopechilvers.com This season try replacing black ankle boots with hiking versions - the sturdier, the better. This purposeful yet chic option from Penelope Chilvers will work as well in the city as it will in the country once the cold weather sets in. Lipstick Queen Frog Prince Lipstick, £22, John Lewis Get heads turning with Frog Prince, a remarkable emerald green lipstick that magically transforms into a pretty rosebud hue upon contact with the lips. No two pairs of lips will look the same as it adapts according to your pH and natural colouring, appearing entirely different yet flattering on everyone.

Granny chic rom the catwalk to celebrities, it seems chunky knitted cover-ups and demure midi skirts are all the rage right now. Not to mention fun fur coats and jewel-toned brooches that will remind you of playing dressing up in grandma’s wardrobe. Adorned with vintage-inspired prints, feminine lace and bows galore, these vintage-inspired pieces can end up looking completely modern, if not fashion-forward. If you’re new to granny chic, stick to basic silhouettes: tailored trousers with fitted shirts or streamlined dresses, before layering on the retro accessories and knits. You want to look fabulous, not funny. Cable-knit sweaters, which look so comfortable you’d think granny knitted them herself, are key to nailing this trend.

But in actual fact, there’s research now showing how bad for us it is to put sleep at the bottom of the priority list. While taking an interest in fitness and healthy eating has become massively trendy, there’s still a bit of a block around actively prioritising our mental wellbeing. And part of our reluctance to ‘put ourselves first’ is because we see it as selfish, and therefore feel guilty about it. But in fact, you could say it’s the opposite because self-care doesn’t just benefit ourselves, but means we’re generally more available to be a good friend/parent/colleague/partner in the long-run. I always say: It’s not me first; it’s me as well. It gives you a comfortable way in. It’s like the image of the empty cup: you can’t pour from an empty cup.

Bake

Honeybuns Congo Bars Emma says: This nutty shortbread topped with nuts and chocolate is one of our best-selling products. It’s worth the slight kerfuffle of pre-toasting the pecans and coconut, as this brings a lovely smokiness to the party.

Ingredients

Method:

For the polenta shortbread base: 125g butter, softened and cubed, plus extra, melted, for brushing. 140g polenta 125g brown vanilla sugar 100g ground almonds 70g ground hazelnuts 40g almonds, toasted and chopped 1 egg

To make the polenta shortbread base:

For the topping:

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas 4. Prepare and bake the polenta shortbread base. Allow to cool completely.

Spread the dulce de leche over the base, making sure it is evenly spread right to the edges. Sprinkle the toasted pecans evenly over the caramel. Sprinkle on the toasted coconut chips and push them gently into the caramel. Sprinkle on the chocolate buttons, making sure they are evenly distributed.

Pop into the oven for 1–2 minutes, so the chocolate melts very slightly – the idea is just to make it stick.

Allow to cool. When the chocolate buttons are almost reset back to their original form, but still slightly tacky to the touch, dust lightly and evenly with cocoa powder. Place in the fridge to chill. Once chilled, remove from the tin and cut into pieces. For a grownup treat dark chocolate chunks are lovely in place of the chocolate buttons.

For the topping: 300g dulce de leche 200g pecan halves, toasted and cooled 25g coconut chips, toasted and cooled 100g milk chocolate buttons Cocoa powder, for dusting

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas 4. Cut a rectangle of baking parchment to line the bottom of a 30 x 23 x 4 cm baking tin. Brush it and the tin liberally with melted butter before popping in the parchment.

Put the butter, polenta, sugar, hazelnuts, ground almonds, chopped almonds and egg into a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until the mixture forms a soft but fairly grainy dough.

Press the mixture into the baking tin with your hands and smooth down with the back of a large spoon, making sure it is evenly spread.

Bake for 20 minutes, until golden and quite firm to the touch. Leave in the tin to cool completely.

Cook

Dorset lobster mac and cheese Recipe: Jean-Paul de Ronne of The Anchor Inn, Seatown in Dorset Jean-Paul says: The notes of the ale really help lift the finished dish – the ingredients and produce available near our pub are great.

Ingredients:

Method:

Meat from two cooked lobsters 150g macaroni, cooked 30g hazelnuts, crushed and toasted 25g breadcrumbs 25g cheddar cheese, grated

To make the sauce

To serve

Place the cheddar, bitter and mustard into a cold pan over a low heat. The cheese should melt but if it gets too hot it will split and separate the fat, so keep a close eye!

For the sauce 100g cheddar cheese, grated 100g Dorset Blue Vinny cheese 125ml Palmers Indian Pale Ale 1 tsp English mustard 75g breadcrumbs 50g plain flour 25ml Dorsetshire Sauce (or Worcestershire sauce) 2 tsp Thai fish sauce 2 eggs, plus 2 egg yolks 250ml double cream Salt to taste

As soon as the cheese has softened to a silken puddle, add the breadcrumbs and flour and stir in with a wooden or rubber spatula until all the ingredients have bound together. Continue to cook out on a low heat until the mix forms a ball.

In a clean bowl, place the cooked lobster (chopped into chunky pieces) and 15g of the hazelnuts, a pinch of salt and the macaroni. Add the cheese sauce and combine the ingredients evenly.

Divvy up the mix between four ovenproof dishes. Top with the remaining hazelnuts, breadcrumbs and cheddar. Place in a preheated oven (180˚C/gas mark 4) for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden topped.

Serve with a fresh and crisp salad, crusty bread and accompany with a perfectly matched glass of Palmers IPA.

Place the cheese mixture into a food processor, add the Dorsetshire Sauce, fish sauce, eggs and additional yolks and blend on high speed until smooth and spreadable.

Slojito You will need 50ml sloe gin Soda water or prosecco to top up Lime cut into 4 wedges Handful of basil leaves 1 tsp brown sugar Crushed ice Place the basil, lime and sugar into a highball glass and muddle (bash together with the end of a wooden spoon).

with drinks expert April Marks

April says: I admire those of you patiently nurturing your bottles of sloe gin this time of year. I confess I have never been tempted, and that’s even before I discovered e x actly what’s involved! As an extreme planner, the thought of waiting for Mother Nature to allow the whole process to start by gracing us with the first frost of winter fills me with dread. The frost means the sloes can be picked, which all need to be individually pricked (traditionally by the thorns of the blackthorn bush upon which the sloes grow). Then the real work starts. Find some clean jars to half fill with sloes, add enough sugar to extract

the juice from the fruit - which equates to about one fifth of the weight of the sloes - then top up with gin (I would urge you to use a good quality gin here not the cheap industrial stuff). Now you have to remember to turn your jars every day for the next two weeks, then weekly for three months – yes really! At this point your gin will have a pretty ruby colour, the sloes can be discarded and your gin is ready. If, like me, you don’t have the patience for this then my top tip is to buy it ready made. I recently discovered the Gloucestershire-based 6 O’Clock Sloe Gin from Bramley & Gage. Having been an admirer of their premium gin for many years, I

thought I’d try their sloe gin - and it is the best I have ever tasted. The intense almond and plum flavours are achieved by using a high sloe-to-gin ratio, plenty of sugar then slowly maturing for six months.

talks beer ALE AIDS RHINO CONSERVATION Bays Brewery has raised some £4,600 towards Paignton Zoo’s Great Big Rhinos Project and Save The Rhino International through a special beer sold through the summer. Rhino Ale was particularly popular in Wetherspoon pubs, through which more than £2,700 of the total was raised.

BORINGDON HALL, PLYMPTON

In need of a treat? WORDS: GRACIE STEWART few weeks ago my boyfriend and I headed off to Boringdon Hall, a 16th century manor hotel in Devon on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, to check out their newly-opened Gaia Spa. I'd heard a lot about it, and wanted to see what all the buzz was about. We opted for the Calming Break (from £379 per couple), which includes a one-night stay for two, dinner, breakfast, a spa treatment each in the hotel's luxurious Gaia Spa. The word ‘Gaia’ is Greek for Mother Nature. Sounded intriguing, especially when I learned that the new spa had cost a cool £6 million. We were staying in the Four Poster Room, a truly gorgeous bedroom. Once checked in, it was off to the Spatisserie (get it?), a gorgeous space with two outside terraces, serving a healthy lunch menu (with Laurent-Perrier champagne). I decided to go for the max with my spa treatment, choosing the Gaia Total Holistic Ritual (120 minutes, £225). Using Balinese and Hawaiian techniques, my whole body was exfoliated, followed by an application of their nourishing

Gaia "mud". Once showered, I had a muscleeasing massage with warm oil in the blend of my choice. A rejuvenating face treatment followed and a Gaia tea completed the ritual. The treatment itself was two hours of pure bliss. When it comes to spas, I have two pet hates: whale music and a therapist who talks the entire way through. I’m pleased to report neither of those happened at Gaia. Instead, my skin was left smooth and replenished and a genuine sense of natural wellbeing washed over me. Suitably refreshed, I made my way into the main spa area, which is truly fabulous (and of course it should be, for £6 million). After testing out all of the facilities, I have to say the Crystal Salt Steam Room was definitely my favourite. It has gentler heat than a sauna but increased humidity (virtually 100%) with the added benefit of the salt, said to work wonders on the skin. The salty air is also really good for those who suffer from respiratory diseases such as asthma. In addition to the spa itself, the Gaia product range includes three blends - Awakening, Balancing and Calming. These ranges include

12 skincare products and a natural candle. All the products are at least 95% natural, made with the finest essential oils and come packaged in bamboo jars or glass oil bottles. I was such a big fan of the Awakening Range that I ended up going home with the body cream (£38), body scrub (£38) and body wash (£20). If you can’t commit to a night or two away, Boringdon Hall also offers day packages, such as the Morning of Luxury (£55 per person for

up to five hours) which includes a 30-minute taster treatment, b r e a k f a s t , welcome drinks and use of the spa. I'll definitely be back for this when I next need pampering. After spending the entire afternoon relaxing at the spa, it was time to head to the restaurant where a three-course meal awaited us. Overlooking Boringdon's historic Great Hall, in the former minstrel's gallery, the intimate Gallery Restaurant offers fine dining at its best, cooked by head chef Scott Paton, and showcasing

locally sourced ingredients. To start I opted for the smoked pork belly with white bean cassoulet (£9) followed by venison with winter spiced beetroot (£26). For dessert I had mint and chocolate variations (£9), a selection of sweet treats including chocolate mousse, a brownie and mint sorbet. The food was outstanding. A final treat was the Gaia Sleep Balm thoughtfully left for me in our room. You massage onto the temples and wrists before sinking into a bed so comfy you won’t ever want to leave. What a lovely treat this visit was! www.boringdonhall.co.uk 43

My Secret Westcountry Lavinia Anderson Lavinia Anderson, 50, lives in Polzeath and is on the committee of the Cornwall Macmillan Christmas Fair which takes place this week at The Eden Project. She is married to Charlie and they have three children, Isabella, 14, Max, 12 and Benjamin, seven. My favourite: Walk: Walking is a large part of my life in Cornwall and my favourite walk is around Pentire Point and the Rumps. Any morning of the week there is always a girlfriend or two walking their dogs after school drop-off and, without doubt, the best walk is from New Polzeath up to Pentire Point. Whether it’s windy and rainy or calm and sunny – the views and the feeling of space and

the pure spectacle of the view never fails to lift the spirits.

Place to eat: Well, if I am going to be spoilt my favourite place to eat has to be Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen, on the beach at Watergate Bay. Nothing can beat that view looking out over the beach and sea. Needless to say, the food is outstanding and the service immaculate. What I always notice, and appreciate, is the wholehearted attention given to describing every dish on the menu. And the help with making a choice – something I always struggle with.

Festival: With

undiluted bias it has to be the Rock Oyster Festival. It was set up by my husband Charlie in 2010 and it started on a gloriously hot and sunny weekend based at Porthilly Farm which sits on the edge of the Camel Estuary looking out over the water to Padstow. That first year we had about 200 people and just three bands playing. Since then it is held at Dinham House – again overlooking the estuary. We now have around 2,500 people and an amazing range of entertainment for all the family. Dates for

2017 are July 7-8 – put it in your diary!

Event: The other equally important date for me every year is the annual Macmillan Christmas Fair, now held at The Eden Project. I am proud and delighted to say that I am a new member of the committee. It is a wonderful cause and a fabulous shopping experience, with more than 60 stalls. This event raises incredible amounts of money for Macmillan, last year more than £50,000. This year it takes place on Wednesday November 16 and Thursday 17. You can buy tickets in advance online: www. cornwallmacmillanchristmasfair.co.uk – see you there! Beach: Cowrie Beach, on the way to Pentire Point – tiny and hidden, a wonderful spot. Shop: My

favourite shop since moving down to Cornwall is Elixir Health Foods in Wadebridge. I absolutely love that I can pop in with any questions and seek health advice for me and my family. The girls, particularly the lovely Linsey, are always a mine of information and

of course I always walk out having bought far more than I initially planned.

View: Looking out over Pentire Point. Westcountry icon: Our new High Sheriff of Cornwall, Jane Hartley. She is also co-chair of the Cornwall Macmillan Christmas Fair and has been on the committee for nearly 20 years. What an incredible woman (and friend!). Pub: The

St Kew Inn is a classic traditional pub. It was built in the 15th century and retains many of the original features. The main bar area is part of the original inn and includes a glorious open fireplace. Huge atmosphere, delicious food and a very pretty garden for the summer days.

Food: Dare I say it, cheesy chips (especially with a hangover)! Special treat: A full body massage and facial at The Cowshed at the St Moritz Hotel just outside Polzeath. Heaven.

was never that much of a petrol head. I happily plead guilty to owning a Ford Capri with a vinyl roof back in the carefree 1980s, though I note after years of people turning up their noses, those proletarian sports cars are becoming something of a classic. And like all testosterone-fuelled teenagers, I drove too fast. But since then I have calmed down and these days I rumble around in a fairly sedate Mercedes van. Not the boy, though. He likes to do everything at a million miles-an-hour. Last week I spotted his first road rage incident and the early signs of a lust for speed. Once a year, usually at autumn half term, I take the lad and his mate to Crealy Adventure Park, outside Exeter. It is not for my benefit – I can’t stand roller coasters – but I have a theory that the kind of home-spun, crafty, organic activities so beloved of yummy mums and trendy dads are more tolerated than loved by our kids. We, the parents, like to take them to the National Trust for outdoor goodness, nature trails and flapjacks but what they want, what they really, really want, is a fairground ride, chips and tomato sauce. I don’t condone this, but in the spirit of the 1970s, Angel Delight and fizzy pop, I concede to the desire for improper fun and so I brave a theme park. Though, to be fair, Crealy is quite low-key and set in the rolling countryside of idyllic East Devon. Luckily, junior is still a bit young for the scary rides. I mistakenly took him on a couple when he was four and frightened him half to death on a log flume. So we tend to spend a lot of time in the young kids’ area, with the small-scale stuff. After this we head for the barn, with its drop

slides and sprawling soft play, where I grab a seat and read a few pages of a book. Then we venture out into the park proper and visit all the forts and slides. This year they also spotted a new pedal kart circuit and were soon happily thundering around it. The competitive spirit is blossoming and I could see they were vying for pole position. James’s mate, who is a few months younger, was blocking the way and my lad couldn’t get past. On a slope, James got up some speed and tried to take him on the outside. Seeing this, the friend turned Michael Schumacher and steered into a deliberate crash, sending his rival on two wheels and into the fence. The scene which followed was like the famous Fawlty Towers episode when Basil beats his disobedient car with a tree branch. My lad was punching the seat, face contorted as his mate pedalled away grinning. Dutifully, I sprinted over and offered roadside counselling, trying to quell the burning indignation. I managed to get him back in the cockpit and push-started him, noticing that the mate’s car was wobbling with a flat front tyre. Spotting weakness, the legs pumped into action and James flew past his stricken friend on the inside, then pedalled furiously away. I saw him on the return lap, his expression a picture of fiendish determination. He had the upper hand and wanted to drive the advantage home. Soon, he was trying to lap his mate, bumping into his rear end. Anger is an energy, as Johnny Rotten once said. I was proud of him for channelling his fury into action but the devilish look on his face had me slightly worried. What on earth is he going to be like on the road?
