GET CRAFTY THIS CHRISTMAS AND MAKE YOUR OWN BEAUTIFUL WREATH BY FOLLOWING OUR SIMPLE STEPBY-STEP GUIDE. BY MARIA ILIFFE.

Step 1 – Metal ring Start with your circle metal ring, used as a frame for the wreath.

If you’ve taken up a new hobby or pastime over the last 18 months or so, you’re definitely not alone. Forced to find ways to keep ourselves occupied, many people have turned to DIY and crafty home improvements/decorations, to re-ignite their creativity.

Wreath making is a brilliant way to try your hand at craft, learn a new skill, or indulge in your passion. Remaining one of the only ways to decorate your doors – and certainly the best – wreaths provide the perfect seasonal addition to your home.

With that in mind, we have spoken to

I

local florist April Bell, who designs gorgeous wreaths and bouquets. April and right-hand girl Jasmine, shared their expertise and together we’ve created this step-by-step guide to help you get in the festive spirit.

Whether you want to gather foliage and autumnal greenery from your garden and local parks, or buy a pack online or from a florist, the same method can still be applied. The leaves and decoration are suggestions and the steps are for guidance, so feel free to get inspired and interpret this is your own way, making a completely unique yet beautiful wreath.

What you will need: Scissors/secateurs Wire wreath ring Sphagnum Moss Seasonal evergreen foliage Natural twine 12-inch 20-gauge floristry wire Seasonal decorations *** A big thank you to April at Monica F Hewitt Florist. monicafhewitt.co.uk

CHRISTMAS

Steps 2 & 3 – Mossing

Step 4 – Collect foliage

Tie one end of your natural twine to the outer rim of the wreath ring. Then gather a handful of Sphagnum moss, place onto the wreath ring, and bind around leaving an inch gap between each bind. To ensure the moss is well bound, create plenty of tension when binding. Repeat the above process until the entire wreath ring is covered. (This will be needed for step 10).

Gather a selection of the foliage you wish to use, you can take leaves from trees, bushes or plants; alternatively, you can purchase some online or form a florist.

Step 5 – Prep foliage

Step 6 – Arrange foliage

Step 7 – Wire foliage

Cut your foliage into usable hand sized pieces. Strip any lower leaves creating approximately 1 inch of a clean stem.

This will help in the following steps.

Now evenly distribute your foliage into a minimum of 15 mixed foliage bundles.

You will want 3 to 5 stems in each.

Take a 20-gauge wire and bend the top 2 inches to create a hair pin. Gather one of your foliage bundles, keeping all the clean stems together.

Step 8 – Wrap wire Place the bend of the wire at the back of the stems holding securely in place with your fingers. (Making sure the wire is following the same direction). Using the long piece of wire, tightly bind around the stems. A maximum of 4 binds is required to ensure enough wire is remaining. (This is known as a single leg mount). This is important for the following step. The quicker you bind, the tighter and more secure your bundle will be.

Step 9 – Wired bundles Repeat this step for all 15 of your foliage bundles.

CHRISTMAS

Step 10 – Attach foliage bundles

Step 11 – Bend wire

Step 12 – Attach foliage bundles

Use the long piece of wire to pierce through the top of the mossed ring and tightly pull through the back until the stems are laid flush to the moss.

The wire at the back can now be pulled tightly and bent back into the moss ensuring no sharp wires are left.

Repeat this process. The top of each bundle is to slightly overlay the stems of the previous bundle. You will also want to follow a herringbone pattern which will help achieve a strong circular shape.

Step 13 – Half covered

Step 14 – Finish foliage

Step 15 – Prepare accessories

Once you’ve added half of your bundles, the wreath should look something like this, with no gaps.

Continue adding the rest of your bundles in the same pattern, pulling the wire tight and leaving no gaps.

Time to get festive! Choose the perfect accessories for you. You can use anything from dried flowers, pinecones, and cinnamon sticks to baubles, fairy lights – anything with sparkle.

Step 16 & 17 – Wire pinecone

Step 18 – Wire accessories

The single leg mount wiring technique as used in step 3 can be utilized to wire many different accessories. However, you may need to try each decoration individually to discover the best attachment method. For example, a pinecone can look quite tricky to wire but by using the natural ridges you can easily slot the wire into the pinecone.

After bending it round, secure the wire by twisting the short and long sides together.

Follow a similar technique for your pother accessories, slotting and then wrapping the wire best you can, to get a strong hold.

CHRISTMAS

Step 19 – Decorate!!

Let your creativity run wild! Now that all your accessories are prepared and wired. You’ll be able to follow the same technique that we used when attached the foliage bundles to the mossed wreath ring.

To create a traditional style, you’ll want to evenly space your decorations through the wreath. If you’re wanting a more modern style, grouping your materials is a great way to achieve this look.

Step 20 – Hang your wreath proud!

A finished wreath can look something like this.

Hot stuff WE SATISFY OUR SPICY CRAVINGS WITH A VISIT TO SUKHOTHAI LEEDS. eing the heat and spice freak I am, I just love to try new dining experiences that combine the two. However, the choice of authentic Thai food is vast and given a choice of an evening spent, and of course hard cash, with Sukhothai or somewhere new, I’m happy to say, Sukhothai wins hands down. It’s like betting on the favourite each way at the races, you’re just not going to be disappointed. Of course the element of surprise is always a good emotion, but as the menu is so vast, it could take a good while to munch, and in my case, sip your way through it.

And so we were off to Sukhothai in South Parade to be exact, right in the centre of Leeds.

If you’re familiar with Sukhothai’s Leeds city centre restaurant, at first glance it pretty much looks like business as usual. However major changes have taken place behind the scenes with new dishes added to a menu that had remained constant for over 15 years.

The menu is also a lot more readerfriendly, thanks to some clever streamlining.

So what’s missing? Nothing as far as I can tell; there is certainly no shortage of

B

choice with familiar favourites still present, alongside some exciting new additions reflecting up-to-the-minute trends in Thai restaurant cuisine and street food.

So if you love authentic Thai food but find the process of selecting from a seemingly endless array of curries, salads, stir-fries, rice and noodles just too exhausting, the good news is that Sukhothai have distilled their formidable food knowledge into one easy-to-read masterclass in taste and texture.

It’s still worth taking a few minutes to

make your choices, especially with new dishes to consider, so select a cocktail from the very smart bar and relax.

Our evening began with a couple of classic cocktails - The Thaistar Martini, an awesomely sharp blend of vodka, passion fruit and lemon juice served with a shot of Prosecco on the side and a Slingsby Harrrogate gin and tonic, and seeing as they’ve gone to the trouble to introduce some new dishes, it seemed rude not to try them out, alongside a few of the old classics.

The entrees quickly arrived and, I’m

pleased to say, they didn’t take away the superb prawn crackers.

We started with Poh Taek soup, three chillies strength, and my utterly all time favourite. Or so I thought (more about that in the next starter). It was a hot and sour mixed seafood soup with fresh Thai herbs, and boy, the liquid was spicy hot but the subtle blends of seafood balanced the dish perfectly. Not a spoonful was left.

Mueg Sukhothai – squid in light batter dusted with a Tom Yum seasoning and served with a spicy Sriracha sauce – was placed opposite me and I suddenly became envious of my companion’s choice. Happily he was generous with his, ‘would you like to try some?’

It was beautiful and perfectly cooked and my next visit will definitely include this. The portion was plenty and would certainly satisfy anyone who wanted to substitute their main meal with a large starter – throw in a portion of noodles and it’s more than ample.

For mains, Pad Prik Gang had another three chilli rating, although I have to say, I wouldn’t have noticed; if you like hot food like me, I would recommend asking for more heat. Pad Prik Gang is spicy stir-fry king prawns with a fiery red curry paste, green beans, mushroom, red pepper, carrot and lime leaves. It was everything it described and was as tasty as you can imagine. The king prawns were large and meaty and plentiful, again, if you wanted to pick and mix between two mains ordered, the portion was large enough.

“Mueg Sukhothai – squid in light batter dusted with a Tom Yum seasoning and served with a spicy Sriracha sauce – was placed opposite me and I suddenly became envious of my companion’s choice.”

My companion, not as adventurous as me, opted for a very smooth Gang Panaeng, a traditional Thai red curry with chicken, made with coconut milk, red and green peppers, carrot, sweet basil, and bamboo shoots. It had a one chilli rating that would bore the socks off me, but by the look on his face whilst tucking in, he was in heaven.

A mix of noodles and Jasmine rice completed the meal both traditionally and perfectly.

It goes without saying, as with all four of the Sukhothai restaurants, service was up there with any five-star restaurant; it was quick, although I noticed a couple of diners opposite us slowed their meal

right down so they could enjoy their dining experience at their own pace. The staff didn’t let head chef of the group and owner Ban Kaewkraikhot down.

Beautiful.

Mai Dang was my first restaurant I opened when I was 18 years old. Six Years later, I met my husband and we decided to start a family in Doncaster.

Then this gave me the opportunity to open the first Thai Restaurant in Doncaster, The Bangkok Thai Restaurant.

amazing. Following an extensive period of restoration, which transformed it into the luxury anti-ageing and well-being clinic you find today, she opened her doors to become Doncaster’s first ever medical aesthetics clinic.

Broadly speaking, medical aesthetics includes all medical treatments that are focused on improving the cosmetic appearance of patients. Elements Medical offers the latest, safest and most innovative treatments available. It is something that Sandy is clearly passionate about.

“I believe that restoring and enhancing your natural beauty is key, and our team of clinical experts are here to work with you to listen, understand, manage your expectations, discuss treatment options, skincare and products to help you achieve the best version of you,” enthuses Sandy.

Your journey at Elements Medical starts with a free skin consultation which can be followed up with a bespoke treatment plan as well as aftercare and advice.

¥¥ ¥ ¥

f you ask Sandy Green how things have changed in her almost 20 years in business, she would definitely agree that her patients have become more receptive to the treatments that she offers at her clinic, Elements Medical.

“It used to be a bit of a ‘taboo’ subject and patients would never admit to having anything done,” she says. “Nowadays, they post selfies all over social media proudly showcasing their must-have ‘tweakments’.”

Sandy opened the Thorne Road clinic, swapping a career working in the NHS as a midwife specialising in contraception and sexual health for medical aesthetics.

“I had started having anti-wrinkle injections myself at the age of 30 and loved the results and self-confidence it gave me so much, that I wanted others to experience that too,” she says.

After walking past the former Ashlea Hotel, Sandy fell in love with the building and set out to create something truly

“The ‘ fox eye and cheek lift’ treatment is popular with several high-profile celebrities because of the beautiful eye shape that can be created.”

“We take pride in offering an excellent patient experience,” adds Sandy.

The range of treatments at the clinic can be split into five categories – injectable treatments, skin treatments, laser and IPL (Intense Pulse Light) treatments, hayfever and vitamin treatments and weight loss treatments.

Amongst the range of treatments that Sandy offers, one that is proving particularly popular at the moment is PDO (Polydioxanone) Threads (see pictures below).

The PDO thread lift is an innovative and painless way to get facelift results – without the surgery. PDO threads are used to gently lift the face and neck, giving you a younger and firmer looking face.

Known as a ‘lunchtime facelift’, PDO threads for face and neck are simple dissolvable sutures that help to give a more contoured shape. This type of lift was previously only available by using fillers. A PDO thread lift has an advantage over fillers for some patients because no more additional volume is added to the face. This creates a much more natural look.

After the threads have dissolved, the natural ageing process will still take place, but your skin retains some of the lifted appearance. In addition, the threads stimulate new collagen production over time which further adds to the naturally rejuvenated look.

The precision with which the threads can be placed means you choose to have treatment directly where a lift is needed too, rather than lifting the entire face.

Areas which can be lifted include brows, cheeks, marionette lines (either side of mouth), jowls, jawline and the neck.

“The PDO thread lift is an innovative and painless way to get facelift results – without the surgery. PDO threads are used to gently lift the face and neck, giving you a younger and firmer looking face.”

threat eye lift or ‘fox eye lift’ is also now available at Elements Medical. A fast, relatively pain-free treatment with big results, the fox eye lift can be done on your lunch break. It is designed to lift the outer corners of your eyes and the tail of your eyebrow, giving the eye a very desirable shape, and reducing sagging related to age.

The treatment is popular with several high-profile celebrities because of the beautiful eye shape that can be created.

The treatment is quite simple – using dissolvable suture threads, the outer brow and eye corner is pulled to lift any sagging of the upper eyelid. The amount of lift given is completely customisable, depending on the severity of sagging and the result you want to achieve.

So, what kind of clientele does Sandy treat?

“We see anyone over the age of 18 wanting to improve their appearance or well-being,” she adds. “We treat a varied age group which has increased over the years as it’s become more acceptable to have these ‘tweakments’.

“We just want you to achieve the best version of you.”

In the run-up to Christmas, Elements Medical will be hosting their annual ‘12 Deals of Christmas’ event, which runs from 1-12 December and sees 12 of their most popular treatments on offer, giving shoppers an opportunity to buy family and friends a gift they will remember - see the advert on page 8.

Miguel Perez

The ultimate guide to winter hair

Hair Rituel products

WE SPOKE TO HAIR RITUEL BY SISLEY’S UK AMBASSADOR, MIGUEL PEREZ. inter can be the most wonderful time of year - but it can play havoc with your hair.The cold air can strip the moisture, leaving it looking lifeless, brittle and dull. Not ideal when you have a raft of invitations for exciting events waiting for you.

But worry not, there are a few things you can do. Hair stylist to the stars Miguel Perez is Hair Rituel by Sisley’s UK ambassador and knows a thing or two about giving your hair the best treatment during the winter months.

Hair Rituel’s six essential treatment products, from a smoothing shampoo to a regenerating hair care mask, can help to give your hair that luxury feel you crave.

Here are Miguel’s five tips to make sure your hair looks and feel fabulous this Christmas.

W

1. Colour Don’t trust the model on the box! The colour always ends up lighter than the one shown so it’s always better to look at the chart on the top of the box to get a better idea of what the colour will end up looking like on your own hair.

For permanent dye, choose a colour a touch darker than what you want because of the strong developer within the formula. With semi-permanent dye however, choose a shade slightly on the

lighter side of the colour you’re looking to achieve.

4. Style

Moving your parting over to the side is the easiest way to make your style look 2. Health like an entirely new haircut. Instead of If you have fine hair it’s best to avoid using gel for a wet look, use either creamy shampoos as these can be conditioner or a hair mask, heavy and weigh the hair such as Hair Rituel by Sisley down. Also try not to Regenerating Hair Care wash fine hair every day Mask. It will set as a gel but as this can make it feel you will be conditioning the limp. However, if you do hair at the same time as need to wash daily, only achieving your desired look. shampoo once and make I love waves like Margot sure you’re using a gentle Robbie’s with a side daily shampoo such as Hair parting and have been Rituel by Sisley Volumizing created by using a round ie Shampoo.You should only brush for volume. To Margot Robb 3rf.com 12 © Buzzfuss / ever shampoo from your recreate this look, use a roots to the mid-shafts of medium inch curling iron to curl the your hair. hair, pulling on each one to create long, lean waves.

3. Cut For me it’s all about following the natural hair texture, While it’s important to keep your strands healthy in order for them to look their best, the right haircut is also key. Make sure you have a proper consultation, and really talk about your lifestyle; if you exercise, how much time you are willing to spend on your hair each day etc. I would also always recommend bringing a picture and never go for a big change if you are not feeling your best – you might end up regretting it!

5. Salon secrets Make sure you speak the same language as your stylist, meaning that when it comes to technical words, you know exactly what they are talking about. Go for a style or colour that is easy for you to look after and maintain.

There is no point in going for something that will only look nice only for a short period of time.

Without these ‘basic skills’ of good communication, English and mathematical skills, individuals are disadvantaged throughout their lives – as learners, in the workplace and as parents, consumers and citizens and so they form the ‘bedrock’ of good education.

To achieve the Award, Chapter House went through a repeat of the assessment process carried out by

an external assessor against the ten ‘Elements’ of the Quality Mark framework. These cover key aspects of the school’s improvement approach, including the identification and analysis of the school’s needs; strategic planning; target setting for improvement; intervention and support for pupils under-achieving or under-attaining; provision of quality in both teaching and in resources; staff development; and active engagement with families.

Renewal of the Award shows that effective monitoring and evaluation have

been in place since the previous Award in 2018.

This new Award follows swiftly on from Chapter House being awarded the Primary Science Quality Mark (PQSM) Gilt, earned in June 2021. This accolade is given to schools which can demonstrate how established effective science leadership is having a sustained impact on science teaching and learning within a school.

Karen Kilkenny, Head of Chapter House, said: “Thank you to Joanna Young, our Deputy Head, who has worked closely with staff to ensure that we have maintained our excellent standards since first being awarded the Primary Quality Mark in 2018. The award is a reflection of the high standards of teaching and the safe, happy, challenging environment we provide for the Chapter House children. Our children are eager to take risks and reflect on what they have learnt so they can be ready for any challenge they may face in the future.”
