Editor’s Letter
TRY BEFORE YOU BUY
If you are a regular reader of Discover you may remember that last year I bought classic VW campervan – completely out of character as I am a real “Princess and the Pea”. Well, it was a great success; I’ve woken up to views you can only get from wild camping, I’ve survived being wifi-free for more than two days and made many, new friends (still don’t get the waving at other campervan drivers!). The successful trial persuaded me to upgrade so I sadly say goodbye to “Jesse” (for sale … anyone?) and will be taking a younger (still 15 years old) “Annie” to many of the music events listed in our Special Feature on Summer Festivals (see page 25). If you’ve ever sold an old faithful car you’ll understand my feeling of betrayal in trading Jesse in for a younger model but I now have a toilet .. yeah!

Out with Old In with the New – Hang On! Yes, it’s often cheaper these days to replace a worn or broken gadget for new but before you do it’s really worth using a few websites and apps where you can buy and sell just about anything that’s used or not wanted; gumtree, freecycle, preloved, ebay. I helped furnish my daughter’s first rented flat entirely from gumtree! Or why not try to fix it yourself at a local Repair Café such as featured on page 18 – what a Melanie Tinson great idea!

Parenting
NEW CAR SEAT REGULATIONS You may have heard that new car seat rules have been introduced, banning backless booster seats for young children. All the rules actually mean is that manufacturers can’t introduce new models of backless booster seats for children shorter than 125cm or weighing less than 22kg. So if you already use a booster seat, you don’t have to change it. That being said, high back booster seats have been found to offer much greater protection to young children than backless ones. So it might be time for an upgrade. If you are planning to buy a new seat, look for one that offers some side impact protection, such as those by Diono. The Diono MXT, £85, is a good choice. Unlike some seats, both height and back width can be adjusted very easily, so it can be used
Kidzone
for children between 97 and 160cm tall. There’s a choice of four colours and the covers are removable and washable. Our testers (aged five and seven) found the MXT very comfortable. It also kept them in an upright position when they slept, rather than allowing them to slump over. And they loved the snack trays (mainly for storing seashells and crayons) - see www.uk.diono.com.

SEAFOOD FESTIVAL – A FIRST FOR LYMINGTON The historic market town of Lymington will be holding its first seafood festival on August 12 and 13. The two-day event, held at Bath Road Park, will feature some of the region’s most exciting chefs, restaurants and artisan producers as well as raising money for a marine environmental charity which is backed by Olympic yachting legend Sir Ben Ainslie. The Festival will play host to over 70 producers and pop-up restaurants across the weekend, including Chewton Glen, The Montagu Arms, Careys Manor and Lymington’s much-acclaimed Elderflower restaurant. It aims to serve as many seafood delicacies as possible, from lobster mac n’ cheese, local hand dived scallops, clams, crab and mackerel. 10
Wines include Hambledon’s award winning English sparkling, a pint of festival ale courtesy of Ringwood Brewery, or local gin or rum from Dancing Cows Distillery. Bath Road Park will also welcome Michelin-starred chefs in the demonstration kitchen. Luke Matthews of Chewton Glen and Roux Scholar Matthew Tomkinson of The Terrace will star alongside Pascal Aussignac from London’s Club Gascon and Mark Jarvis, of Anglo, one of London’s hottest young chefs. In addition to the pop-up food stalls, there will be live music across the weekend with leading bands and artists playing a mix of soul, blues, ska and rag-time – plus a 12-strong sea shanty band. To further entertain the crowds, there will be children’s activities and street entertainers. For more information, visit www.thenewforest.co.uk and www.lymingtonseafoodfestival.co.uk

Finance
SHOULD YOU PAY OFF DEBTS WITH YOUR PENSION? The 2014 Budget introduced new regulations on how personal pensions can be accessed. These new pension freedoms mean that, if you have a money purchase or defined contribution pension, buying an annuity is no longer your only option at retirement. Many people have since chosen to withdraw pension monies to invest in other financial products, and some have decided to pay off debts with the money. So is it a good idea to repay debt in this way, and what are the main aspects to consider? Do you want to access your pension before you retire? Some pension schemes allow you to access your pension at the age of 55. Doing so can significantly reduce the amount you have available in older age, however, unless you have other pensions or a large savings pot. 12
Tax issues you shouldn’t ignore You can withdraw a 25% tax-free lump sum from your pension, but taking any more than this percentage will increase your level of income for that tax year. This could mean that you enter a higher rate tax band, and subsequently lose much of the benefit of gaining access to this money. Will it affect your benefits entitlement? If you claim means-tested benefits, withdrawing a lump sum from your pension could affect your entitlement. It might severely reduce the amounts you receive, or even mean that you can’t make a claim. What are the costs of accessing your pension? Many pension providers charge a fee for early access to a pension, and there is generally a charge each time you make a withdrawal. This could severely deplete your pension fund, making it expensive and unrealistic financially to repay debts in this way. è

Final salary schemes If you have a final salary pension, you might be tempted to transfer your money into a personal pension scheme that gives you access to withdraw cash. This is likely to offer a poor reward in terms of conversion, however, and also may not provide you with sufficient income in retirement. Be careful about Pension Recycling The government has introduced legislation to prevent ‘pension recycling’. This situation occurs when someone uses their pension to pay off debt before they retire, with the intention of replacing their pension money whilst still working. Even if you do not deliberately set out to do this, by withdrawing your pension you could be inadvertently caught out by the pension recycling regulations. For example, if you: • Withdraw over £30,000 from your pension, and as a result: • Receive £7,500 or more tax-free, and then:
Local Solicitors providing a friendly and professional service Wills, Probate, Power of Attorney, Trust/Tax Planning
• Increase your pension contributions by more than 30% The rules apply regardless of whether you pay off debt with the money, and can result in the anticipated ‘tax-free’ sums being taxed by up to 70% by the government. The reason why these rules have been introduced is to prevent people benefiting from taking more than one series of tax-free sums from their pensions, and as encouragement to save more for retirement. With so many people now expected to live longer, it can be risky to use your pension to pay off debt. Personal circumstances will dictate whether it’s the right move for you, but it’s crucial that you obtain pension advice from an independent financial adviser before taking any action. You’ll be able to find out the ‘bottom line’ figure once the tax, charges, loss of benefits and other potential deductions have been taken into account, and decide whether or not it’s truly worthwhile.

WHEN THOSE ‘GOLDEN YEARS’ ARE TARNISHED BY STRESS The expression ‘golden years’ refers to that period in our lives in between retirement and age-related physical decline: a time when we are supposed to enjoy the greatest quality of life. There’s a general assumption that life is easier and sweeter for the older generation, and this has been supported by a survey carried out by the Office for National Statistics, in which 300,000 adults agreed that life satisfaction peaks between the ages of 65 and 79. However, while life is golden for some, others may find themselves facing unexpected responsibility and stress. In these insecure economic times, many grown-up children are forced to return to the family home for economic reasons, often with the expectation that their aging parents will provide childcare. 16
And it’s not just the younger generation who may need help. As people are living longer, it’s not uncommon to find individuals in their 60s and 70s supporting their elderly parents, sometimes with full-time care. While it’s natural to want to help, it’s unwise to ignore the fact that age is creeping up on us. Unfortunately, as we age we become more vulnerable to the effects of stress: a recent study by Harvard Medical School has reported that when we are stressed, the part of the brain that processes emotions such as fear and anger triggers the release of white blood cells. These cells, used by the body to fight disease and injury, can cause inflammation that can eventually leads to angina, heart attacks and strokes if the stress is allowed to continue. Other potentially harmful hormones, equally damaging in the long term, are also released during stressful episodes. è
Signs of stress can include feeling overwhelmed, guilty, lonely or constantly anxious, as well as lacking interest in activities you have previously enjoyed. You may also feel constantly fatigued, or become easily irritated. Physical symptoms can include significant changes in weight, headaches and neck or lower back pain. If family members are dependent upon you, you may not be able to change your situation, but following the steps below may help: • Ask for help from friends and family – don’t wait for it to be offered. • Do your best to get enough sleep and exercise. • Set realistic goals, by breaking large tasks up into small ones. • If you’re worried about your finances, ask family members to contribute, or check your eligibility to receive state benefits. • If you are caring for someone who is ill or disabled, research what help is available on a local level. • Keep in touch with friends and relatives. • Use meditation or mindfulness exercises to aid relaxation.
If none of this helps, the next step should be to visit your doctor to explain how you feel. Don’t be afraid to use all the medical and practical resources that are available to you. Fortunately, even in these days of austerity and local service cuts, there are organisations you can turn to for help. Try Independent Age (www.independentage. org) or Age UK (www.ageuk.org.uk) to pick up some valuable information and advice. Sharing your feelings and concerns with others is an important first step. Hopefully it won’t be long before you find the support you need, making your life less stressful and bringing you a little closer to those golden years you so richly deserve.

IF IT’S BROKEN DON’T BIN IT, BRING IT TO A REPAIR CAFE!
Repair Cafés are free meeting places all about repairing things - together. You’ll find tools and materials there to help you make the repairs on anything you bring clothes, furniture, electrical appliances, bicycles, crockery, appliances, toys and there’s expert volunteers, with repair skills on hand for help. If you have nothing to repair, you can lend a hand with someone else’s repair job and enjoy a cuppa at the same time. There are over a thousand Repair Cafes around the world and Southampton hosts the only one in Hampshire. Why repair? We throw away vast amounts of stuff. Even things with almost nothing wrong, and which could get a new lease on life after a simple repair. People have forgotten they can repair things themselves or they no longer know how. Society doesn’t always show much appreciation for the people who still have this practical knowledge, and against their will they are often left standing on the sidelines. Their experience is never or hardly ever used. The Repair Café changes all that! People with these skills are getting involved again 18
and valuable practical knowledge is being passed on to others. Items are given a longer life, making for a greener planet. As well as focusing on sustainability, the Repair Café just wants to show how much fun repairing things can be, and how easy it often is. Why don’t you give it a go? Who thought up the idea? The first Repair Café was opened by Martine Postm in Amsterdam in 2009. Since 2011, the Repair Café Foundation has provided professional support to an amazing 1,254 groups around the worldwide.

Gardening
WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE To guests it’s a garden – somewhere lovely to sit in and enjoy. To head chef of the Montagu Arms, Beaulieu, Matthew Tomkinson, it’s a larder - the place where he gets his fresh eggs, mint and seasonal salads and veg. To Barry Daniel, head gardener, it’s as good as his office. But, as he points out, it’s also the place that a huge variety of insects, reptiles, mammals and birds call home.
Barry Daniel
And that’s important because the greater the variety of creatures that live in a garden, the healthier that garden is. We know our guests are always amused to see the garden’s robins taking meal worms from Barry’s hand (he keeps them in a jar in his pocket especially to feed them) but they are not the only feathered friends we have here. è 20

Barry’s seen goldcrests and firecrests (Britain’s smallest birds) tree-creepers, sparrows, finches and long-tailed tits. “They come in the winter and you hear them arrive suddenly, with a very purring call,” he says. Overhead, he says, it’s not unusual to get oystercatchers or swans and wildfowl from the nearby Beaulieu River and he was delighted to spot a Little Owl one evening. “It’s one of the reasons I love working outside, even in the winter,” he says. “There is always something going on or something new to see and I like the way it works for everyone, humans and animals”. The even better news is that it’s not difficult to create an environment for wildlife in your own garden. Here are Barry’s top tips: • Feed the birds – nuts, seeds, berries from a feeder placed out of the reach of cats – it helps 22

them over winter and come the spring and summer, many of these birds will reward you by pecking up the annoying aphids that destroy your produce. Start a compost heap. Build one out of discarded wooden pallets, or just use some old bricks in the corner of your plot. It will recycle uncooked fruit and veg from the kitchen and may provide a home for slow-worms and beetles. Don’t clip trees, ivy and bushes back too far – small birds use these places to hide from predators such as sparrowhawks. Make sure you have plenty of nectar-producing plants such as buddleia, forget-me-not, heather and lavender, then the butterflies will love you! Consider a French-style planting scheme in your vegetable garden, by introducing plants such as calendula, or marigold. “They attract Hover flies which in turn gobble up the aphids” says Barry.

The UK Festival scene
(For everyone who thinks they are a bit old for that sort of thing…)
By Tania Houston The music scene is a vibrant and important part of UK culture, and the summer festival season is the exciting showcase for the best of our new and established artists. If you’ve never been to a festival however, you might think that what you’ve seen of Glastonbury epitomises the reason you don’t go: lots of mud and a huge drunk crowd of mostly twenty-somethings.
Let me enlighten you! I am – shall we say - a ‘more mature’ music fan and I promise you that there is something on offer for almost every age, music taste and budget. There are festivals for party animals and for families; for teens and baby boomers; for day trippers and weekenders; in other words, for anyone that likes the idea of having fun with a bit of music involved.
These pages give you some help with where to start and a more information about some of the ones I know a bit about.
Bestival, Stevie Gedge
How do I choose?
There are several things to consider when planning your summer festival diary. Most of the events could be said to be suitable for anyone. Very few don’t accept children. But try to find out who the organisers are really targeting and match yourself with those. 1 You have a tight budget. Aim for the one-day only gigs, and make the most of anything free or very low cost and local. Look at: Beggars Fair, Mela Festival 2 You have young children. Does the website say children are ‘accepted’ or ‘welcomed’ – there’s a world of difference. Look at: Camp Bestival, Victorious
3 You have tweenagers/ teenagers. They need keeping an eye on, but they want to spend the time with their friends, not you. Day events are ideal for this as it gives them a bit of freedom, but stops it getting out of hand. Look at: Curious Arts, Victorious. 4 You are over 40, child-free and want Radio 2/Breeze FM type music. The retro festivals are best for you. Look at: Wickham Festival and Let’s Rock
5 You are an adult with no ties and really into music and/ or fun and dancing. Aim for something meant for grownups and chart watchers. Look at: Common People, Reading Festival. 6 You are an adult with no ties and want a full entertainment program e.g. talks and activity. Plenty on offer and we’d recommend Blissfields (local), Cornbury and Secret Garden Party.

A weekend AwAy On your doorstep is great, but it doesn’t feel like a holiday if you can nip back home at a moment’s notice. What’s needed is bit of distance (but not too much) and definitely a complete change of scene. From June to August, these ones will cram as much into three days as a fortnight in Magaluf. Secret Garden Party 20-23 July, Huntingdon, cambridgeshire
caMP BeStIVaL 27-30 July Lulworth, dorset
Whilst this is very much a music festival, it is equally a huge weekend outdoor party. Some really exciting Credit: Max Miechowski musicians, side shows, talks, fancy dress, fireworks and more, you will have just the best time ever. It has been announced this will be the last time it runs having been around for 13 years so I guess all good things…, but ‘SGP’ fans are determined to make a truly memorable send-off. This is a great example of a ‘don’t think you are too old’ type of event. Yes, there will be more under 40s than over, but the relaxed environment means that anyone, young/old, slim/fat, straight/gay, normal or a bit quirky is equally welcome.
Kids are king at Camp Bestival and a large portion of the site is devoted to children, with stacks of activities, including “The Den” for 13-17 year olds. Be assured though that the music isn’t lacking (plenty for those even without children!) with headliners Holly Johnson (Frankie goes to Hollywood) and Madness, through to Louisa Johnson (X-factor winner) and chart-topping Anne-Marie. Then there’s theatre, comedy and a fireworks show and well serviced/well behaved camping areas. All that and in the grounds of the beautiful Lulworth Castle.

WILderneSS FeStIVaL 3-6 august, cornbury Park, Oxfordshire Into August and school holidays, so a festival that truly offers something for everyone. Not every family is universally into the same music, or indeed into music at all. Wilderness offers a grand buffet of activities, where even the hardest to please will admit they had fun. Music – Grace Jones and Two Door Cinema Club for starters. Talks, poetry, debate, theatre, games, workshops, outdoor activity, wellbeing and dining experiences. Topped off with plenty of entertainment for children (because if they aren’t enjoying it, neither are you). www.wildernessfestival.com

on The doorstep So maybe you like the idea, but just don’t want to commit yourself to spending a lot of time at one or blowing the budget just trying the idea out. FeStIVaLL 29 July, Southampton New on the scene this year is Festivall which is looking like a fantastic day out at Let’S rOck very reasonable prices. Held 8 July, Southampton in Mayflower Park, it will be A retro festival, so if you are of the headlined by Alesha Dixon and right age, you will have grown up also features Conor Maynard, with these acts. There’s just one X-factor finalists Union-J and Radio stage at the front, but the day is as 1’s Scott Mills with a DJ set. But much about the socialising as it is there’s plenty more with other about the music. Picnic blankets, stages, a Comedy Tent, and a chairs and singing along all equally dance tent. For the littl’uns, Tiny prominent! Headliners include Fest is their own area within the main event. www.festiv-all.co.uk. Tony Hadley (ex Spandau Ballet).
VIctOrIOuS 25-27 aug, Southsea Victorious is unique in its truly universal appeal. It has a dedicated entertainment area for children, Rita Ora and Olly Murs for the teens and Madness and Stereophonics for the ‘nonteens’. Being a flat site it’s good for parents with buggies and elderly or disabled. And with bargain price day tickets (adults £30, age 5-15 £8) and a good train service to Southsea, well what’s not to like? victoriousfestival.co.uk
Two big ones There are two big all weekenders in this area which need a budget and some stamina to attend. BLISSFIeLdS 6-8 July, Winchester Several of the Discover team went to this one last year and loved it. Blissfields has become a little gem on the festival circuit and whilst it’s never going to be a Reading, Glastonbury or Isle of Wight sized event, it has pulled loads of established names in the past such as Bastille and Mumford and Sons. An illicit journey to the Hidden Hedge at night is a must to sample the bohemian delights of fire dancers, acrobats and trapeze artists. A wonderful festival experience on a smaller scale. blissfields.co.uk
WIckHaM FeStIVaL 3-6 august, Wickham KT Tunstall (who is a great performer), 10cc, The Levellers and Seth Lakeman are headlining this year. There are no current chart-toppers, but then it’s not that sort of festival. The audience tends to be families (and plenty of children’s entertainment offered) and a slightly older audience. But it means there’s a relaxed atmosphere and good camping/campervan facilities giving a lovely combination of excellent music in a social environment. www.wickhamfestival.co.uk

Short Story
TADPOLES Dennis sat on his bench, pond watching. The starlings were coming home to roost. It was his favourite time of day. He enjoyed the soothing sound made by the fountain playing on the surface of the water. Gaynor said the fountain was tacky - two little stone cherubs huddled under their umbrella - but Dennis liked it. His peace was broken by Gaynor running down the lawn towards him. “That was our Daniel on the phone, you’ll never guess what?” Dennis could never guess what when it came to Gaynor. “Is his car alright?” He searched Gaynor’s flushed face for clues. “Never mind his car.” Gaynor perched on the bench next to him, fizzing with excitement. “He took Carly for a twelve week scan today.” Dennis nodded. “Aren’t you pleased?” she asked. “I’m always pleased,” Dennis said, watching a dragonfly hover among the reeds. “That’s not even the best bit,” Gaynor looked like she was about to pop. “They’re only having twins!” A wood pigeon flapped its wings in the ash tree. 34
by Jackie Brewster
“Crikey,” said Dennis. “That’ll be a handful.” “We’re going to be grandparents,” Gaynor frowned. “Is that all you can say?” He unscrewed the tub of fish food. “You’re not doing that smelly stuff now are you?” she said. “Of all times?” “Fish have got to eat, Gaynor,” Dennis said. He rather liked the smell of fish food; it smelled honest. Gaynor watched with pursed lips as the flakes floated across the pond’s surface. “Of course that thing will have to go,” she said finally. “What will?” Dennis looked up. “The pond,” Gaynor tutted. “You can’t have toddlers around a pond, it’s not safe.” “They’re not even born yet,” Dennis said indignantly. “We have to show good faith,” Gaynor said. “Danny and Carly won’t bring them round if it’s not child-friendly.” Dennis opened his mouth to object. “It’s no good.” Gaynor looked at the pond as though it was toxic waste. “It’ll have to be filled in.”
Dennis brooded, saying nothing. The only sound was the little cherub fountain. “Would you look at that!” he said suddenly. “What?” Gaynor said. “On the lily pad.” He pointed. “That little black fellow.” “What’s that?” Gaynor peered over the top of her glasses. A shiny creature clung trembling to the leaf. “It’s a frog,” Dennis said. “I knew we had tadpoles, this must be the first one to find its legs.” “I didn’t know we had tadpoles,” Gaynor said. “We’ve had a fair few,” Dennis said. “Sweet little chap, isn’t it?” “Very sweet,” Gaynor said. Dennis sat back and smiled. “Do you remember filling a jam jar with frogspawn when you were a kid?” he said. “Oh yes.” She stretched out her legs. “I can remember it like it was yesterday.”
“Then they’d hatch into tadpoles,” Dennis said. “We’d keep them in the pantry,” Gaynor said, “then tip them back into the brook and watch them swim away.” “Did you have a fishing net?” Dennis asked. “I didn’t, I used to scoop them up with my bare hands.” “You were brave,” Gaynor chuckled. “Summer lasts for ages when you’re a kid,” Dennis said, and then there was silence between them. The wood pigeon cooed. “I suppose we could just build a little fence around it,” Gaynor said finally. “You know, to make it safe.” “I suppose,” Dennis nodded. “That would be no bother.” “We could buy them fishing nets,” Gaynor added, “for when they’re older.” “Not a bad idea.” Dennis smiled and put his arm around Gaynor. “Twins, eh?” He chuckled, gazing at the pair of cherubs beneath their stone umbrella.

To celebrate, throughout July the Hampshire Food Festival will be showcasing the finest produce our county has to offer and there is a lot to see, taste, get involved with and generally enjoy. Not to be missed, especially if you consider yourself a foodie.
to: a tour and tasting at Gorilla Gin on July 2nd, sampling Jake’s artisan pies with a pint at Fallen Acorn Brewery on July 5th, going to Raimes English Sparkling Vineyard open day on July 6th and to a fine dining experience with MasterChef winner Jane Devonshire that same night at the Myers Touch. Don’t forget to head to the Pig in Brockenhurst for their “Smoked and Uncut” Music and Food Festival on July 8th. And I cannot wait for my master veg cooking class on July 10th at the Riverford Farm in Sutton Scotney.

NEW FOREST’S BALMER LAWN HOTEL WINS SECOND AA ROSETTE FOR CULINARY EXCELLENCE Balmer Lawn Hotel and Spa is delighted to announce that Beresford’s Restaurant has earnt another AA Rosette for their iconic 4-star hotel in Brockenhurst. The standard of produce and talents of chefs in the New Forest, has put the area firmly on the culinary map. Located in the heart of the New Forest surrounded by the regions famous free roaming ponies, the independently owned, 53-bedroomed hotel is home to Saltus Spa, two swimming pools, outdoor leisure activities and caters for weddings, events and conferences. Owners Chris and Alison Wilson have heavily invested in the refurbishment and renovation of bedrooms, public areas, the restaurant and spa. The hotel is a fifteen-minute walk from the mainline railway station. Executive Chef Chris Wheeldon said “We’ve worked hard to refine our menus with consistency and precision, and two rosettes reflect that. Our ingredients are local, seasonal and what’s ready for harvest from our small kitchen garden”. General Manager Michael Clitheroe added “Chris’s menus are creative and imaginative, inspired by his travels, especially to the Far East. Feedback from the new Tasting Menu has been absolutely terrific’.
Executive Chef Chris Wheeldon
Beresford’s Restaurant is open to non-residents and guests every day for lunch 12 – 2.30pm and dinner 6.30 – 9.00pm. Balmer Lawn Hotel and Spa www.balmerlawnhotel.com T: 01590 421 099
OUTDOOR JOYS The best tech toys to take outside Some of the most entertaining outdoor toys are the simplest, such as the cute Swivel Car (around £22, with lots of firms offering very similar products). It’s a ride-on car with a difference: instead of pedalling or propelling it with your feet, you swivel the steering wheel and that generates movement. It’s small enough for toddlers and tough enough for big kids and even the odd adult. If you’d rather go for something more traditional, the Cozy Coupe - around £49 - has been a favourite of families for more than 30 years, and the iconic red and yellow version has been joined by dinosaur and police car versions. Complex toys can be fun too, of course. One kind of toy that’s improved dramatically in recent years is the electric car or bike for kids. It’s possible to get a decent trike for less than £40 that delivers 50 minutes of movement between charges, while around the £200 mark you’ll find impressive replicas of grown-up cars such as BMW’s futuristic electric i8. Remember that such vehicles do take a while to charge, so make sure you plug them in the night before you want to use them.

If you’d rather not let your child loose behind the wheel but want to give them control of something fun, there’s a huge selection of radio controlled vehicles ranging from the toddler-friendly Little Tykes Tyre Twister (£39) to exceptionally fast scale models of performance cars such as Lamborghinis and Porsches. Even the most expensive of these are much cheaper than they used to be, with top-end models usually coming in well below £70. Radio controlled cars are fun, but radio controlled flying machines are even more fun. You know you’re living in the future when you can walk into your local toy shop and come out with a smartphone-controlled drone helicopter. Drones start at around £20 for basic ones and reach £190 for Star Wars-themed models, and drones with built-in cameras start at around £60. If you want to get serious, you can find a good selection of advanced drones with HD cameras and optical video stabilisers from around £300, rising to over £1,000 for highend models. è
Do you remember the days of potato guns and water pistols? They’ve become a lot more sophisticated, with products such as Nerf guns ranging from around £20 to the ridiculously overpowered N-Strike Mega Mastodon (£99), which fires 24 foam darts from a motorised revolving drum. Between it and the super-powered, super-soaking water pistols that have more in common with water cannons than the water pistols you remember from your own childhood, be wary of the weaponry you give your kids - because you can be sure you’ll be on the receiving end of the foam darts or freezing cold jets of water. One word of warning with drones: their propellers can be sharp and cause injury if they bump into people, so it’s a good idea to look for one with a protective ring around the propellers if you’ll be giving it to a child or using it near kids or pets. And there are restrictions on where you can and can’t fly drones, such as in crowded areas or near airports. It’s a good idea to check up on the law before spending any money. There are also concerns over privacy: the neighbours probably won’t appreciate you flying a camera over their garden.
