My youngest and her big sister both went off to university in September, leaving me and my husband with a part-time empty nest. I’ve heard some parents talk of devastation at children leaving; and others with delight at the freedom. We’re somewhere in the middle. We’re quite sad to see them go, and it does seem quiet without the comings and goings each day. But my goodness, life is simpler, more impulsive and considerably cheaper with just two of us to plan for and fund. I was able to look at this edition’s forthcoming ‘what’s on’ listings with a blank diary. I didn’t need to check on whether I was expected at a family meal, was being waited on for a lift somewhere or was going to have an uninvited tag-along hinting about what I could buy for them. Mind you having two at university does make a whopping dent in the family coffers, so I’ll be make a beeline for bargain and free events. Being on the edge of the New Forest means glorious autumn walks which cost nothing so that’ll definitely be on my list. If you have children yourself - of any age - you’ll know as soon as they can walk, your property will start to suffer. So that’s my other autumn plan – use the businesses in this magazine to get some home improvements underway knowing we have a chance of it staying pristine…till Christmas at least when the chaos will resume. Until next time.

INTERVIEW
The Maccabees Return to Southampton
Number 1 Album ‘Marks To Prove It’ Out Now
Exclusive:
Izzy Ewen of Discover Magazines interviews guitarist, Felix White
Left to right: Felix White, Sam Doyle, Orlando Weeks, Rupert Jarvis, Hugo White
The Maccabees break their three year silence with their eagerly anticipated self-produced 4th album with the recent explosive single ‘Marks To Prove It’.
What has been the best gig for you over the past ten years since your debut single came out? We’ve had some special ones. In Southampton we had some great early times at Lennons right through to the shows at the Guildhall. What has been your favourite venue or festival to play at and why? Brixton Academy in London holds a lot of meaning to us, having grown up watching bands there, and it still stands up as the best place for a show even having been round the world. Where do you retreat to when song writing? We’ve got a studio in Elephant where we do everything, write, record etc What is your favourite lyric you’ve written and sung to date? Probably not for us to decide Whose music do you listen to most on tour? I’ve got into a habit of listening to the Beta Band a lot. I just got into Dead Can Dance on the last tour too. Who would be your ideal band or artist to tour with? We’ve played or toured with a lot of them. We’ve talked with Foals about doing something together sometime this year which would be fun.
16 8
If you could have dinner with any singer dead or alive who would it be and why? Too many. But Joe Strummer probably. Any interesting musical collaborations in the pipeline? Just touring the record at the moment .... What are your hopes for next year professionally? I think this album is going to carry us to a few moments, just not sure exactly what they’ll be yet! Hoping there will be some special shows. Tell us what you will be releasing next and what we can look forward to from The Maccabees? The album is just out so we are into the idea of celebrating that at the moment and looking forward to the November Guildhall show. Beautiful place.
“Their best record yet” Q Magazine “A triumph” The Times “A beautifully crafted album” NME
The Maccabees will play at Southampton O2 Guildhall on Tue 24th November 2015

What’s On at Hanger Farm Fri 6th November - 8pm Voodoo Room Tickets £14/£12 Returning to Hanger Farm, to paying tribute to JimiHendrix & Cream - Voodoo Room are a stunning “Power Trio” featuring some of the UK’s finest musicians, performing an incredible show in the true spirit of these legendary superstars. Their credits include: Steve Winwood, Duran Duran, Ben E. King, Fish, Thunder, Jo Harman etc. Fri 13th November - 8pm FB Pocket Orchestra Tickets £12/£10 Blues, Ragtime, Hot Jazz, Songs and Dances from long ago. Working backwards from the 1930s, the FB Pocket Orchestra explores repertoire that formed the embryo of what is now known as popular music. The FBPO became an ‘official’ project in the spring of 2012 and released its first album in October. The aims of the orchestra are to present a contemporary slant on popular acoustic music from the late 19th and early 20th Centuries. Thurs 26th November - 8pm Paul Daniels Intimate Magic Show Tickets £18/£16 Several years ago the most entertaining magic guy in the world, Paul Daniels, together with his wife, Debbie McGee, toured with a small, intimate, magic show and had so much fun they have decided to do it again.

Fri 27th November - 8pm Sarah McQuaid Tickets £14/£12 Sarah McQuaid’s voice has been likened to malt whiskey, melted chocolate and “honey poured into wine” (Minor 7th). Her new album Walking Into White (2015) is her most honest and adventurous work to date, with a depth and texture of soundscape that are reflected in her beautifully crafted live shows. A captivating performer, she seduces her audience with cheeky banter and stories from the road, as well as with stunning musicianship; in her hands, the guitar becomes much more than merely an accompanying instrument. Born in Spain, raised in Chicago and now living in rural England, Sarah refuses to be pigeonholed, segueing easily from one of her emotive originals into a 1930s Cuban jazz number, a 16th century lute piece or an unexpected contemporary cover
Sat 28th November - 7.30pm Per Piacere Chamber Orchestra Tickets £9/£7 The Per Piacere Chamber Orchestra is based in Southampton and has a core repertoire drawn from the 18th and early 19th centuries, the Classical period, with occasional visits to the later Romantic and Modern periods. Beethoven Overture to King Stephen. Haydn Symphony No 104 ‘The London’ Stravinsky Danses Concertantes Schubert Symphony no 4

INTERVIEW
Hometown
Hometown burst onto the Irish music scene in 2014, scoring them two consecutive number ones in their homeland. Under the watchful eye of mentor Louis Walsh, they are set to become big on the other side of the Irish Sea. Lucy Ambache caught up with them on The Evening Breeze, and did her best to not come across as a concerned mum!
Brendan, you’re the shy one? Brendan: I can be. Cian, you’re the little cute one Cian: I’ll take that as a compliment Dayl is the pretty boy! Do you get the girls? Dayl: No! Dean. You’re the one that can dance. Dean: I can but I’m not the one you’re looking for. That’s Dayl – he’s really good. Josh. You’re the one who can sing. Josh: No I can’t <laughs> Ryan. You’re the clever one aren’t you. Ryan: You hit the nail on the head there. You redeemed yourself! <laughs>
surreal, meeting up with him and talking about the band – and the future plans. But you get used to it very quickly. What do your mums think? Are they worried about you being young and in showbiz? Dean: My mum’s glad to have me out of the house! Kian: Brendan’s dad called me about an hour ago, making sure he’s alright. Because Brendan broke his glasses and for some reason he feels the need to ring me to look after the situation! So do the girls love you? Dayl: They love Josh! Cian: They actually do Dayl: They love Josh. Dean loves them!
I feel like your mum. How old are you guys? 18, 19,20? What’s going on with the kids these days? Are they wearing tight trousers? Ryan: Yes. I usually wear the skinniest ones. Let’s talk about your debut UK single ‘Where I Belong’. It’s really nice. It’s a love song really. Dean: It was written by Kodaline and Jamie Scott. As soon as we heard it, we immediately fell in love with it and related to it in different ways. You are Louis Walsh’s band – he’s your manager. It must be pretty cool working with him? Six of you! This is a big band! 16

BEAUTY
Shades of Autumn By Kate Duggan
This issue we’re looking at make-up, including the key trends for autumn/winter. As your tan fades, you may find that you want slightly more foundation. ’Contouring’ is the art of using different shades to add definition to your face. Lighter tones highlight areas and make them stand out slightly, while darker tones add shadow and depth. If you’ve been thinking of trying contouring, but are worried that it will take hours, or make you look a bit fake, read on for our cheat’s guide…
Cheek Colore, £28, is a good choice. Available in five shades, including a natural looking coral, it’s easy to apply, blends well and lasts for ages. Colorescience is available from www.beautyproduct-online.co.uk
Start with an overall base that’s the same tone as your natural skin, before adding slightly darker shades under your cheekbones and along your jawline. Use a lighter shade on top of the cheekbones, under the eyes and between your eyebrows. And don’t forget to blend well! If you’re still not convinced, try searching online for video tutorials. MAC has some great ones on its website, for example. When it comes to the product itself, a cream tends to give a fresher appearance. Iconic London’s Multi Use Cream Contour Palette, £32.99, is a good choice, as it has several easy-toapply shades in one kit, which also double-up as eyeshadows. If you don’t fancy contouring, but do want to add a touch of colour to your cheeks, Colorescience Pressed Mineral
20
Statement lips don’t have to be red. We love Bobbi Brown’s new Lip Trio in Twilight Glow, £39 – the perfect shade for autumn. One of the key looks for this season is ‘polished’. Think sophisticated, ‘grownup’ make-up. The Lip Trio is perfect for this, as it gives you perfectly defined lips, with just a hint of gloss.
Victoriana looks set to become another one of this season’s key looks. Forget soft romantic frills though; this is Victoriana with an edge. Think dark, gothic eroticism. If you don’t fancy going the whole shebang, you can dip your toe (or fingertip) in the water with a dark red or purple nail varnish. We like Vamp by HJ Manicure, which is £9.50 and doesn’t contain the strong chemicals often found in nail polishes, such as formaldehyde and dibutyl phthalate.
Want to master the perfect autumnal smokey eye? Neal’s Yard Remedies tells us how*: Apply a tawny brown shadow over the entire eyelid and up into the socket line using a medium eyeshadow brush. Apply to the lower lash line with a small eyeshadow brush. Using a medium brush, apply a dark hazelnut shade to the outer corner of the lid and blend into the crease of the socket line. Blend the colours using soft back and forth strokes. Apply dark brown mascara. Press a dark chocolate eyeliner into the eyelash roots, moving along the upper lash line. Go over this with a precise line, staying close to the lashes. Draw eyeliner along the lower lash line from the outer to the inner corner. * Taken, with permission, from Neal’s Yard Remedies’ new Beauty Book.

Royal Marines Band Charity Concert In Aid Of Seafarers UK The Band of Her Majesty’s Royal Marines from HMS Collingwood will be performing at 7.30pm on Thursday 10 December at Southampton’s Guildhall, with a concert to raise money for Seafarers UK.
Major Jon Ridley RM, has recently taken over this band after two years as the Director of Music and Training at the Royal Marines School of Music. The programme will certainly have a Christmas flavour and, as always, include a little audience participation! Seafarers UK is a charity that helps people in the maritime community, by providing vital funding to support seafarers in need and their families. The charity does this by giving money to organisations and projects that make a real difference to people’s lives across the Merchant Navy, Fishing Fleets, Royal Navy and Royal Marines. The services Seafarers UK funds have a positive impact on all seafarers. Last year grants totalling £2.5 million were paid to more than 70

maritime welfare charities. Seafarers UK receives no government funding and relies on donations and fundraising to be able to carry on providing long-term aid. Without this, there simply wouldn’t be the level of support the charity is able to provide today and that last year gave hope and help to over 170,000 seafarers and their families when they needed it most. Tickets are available from the Guildhall Box Office, phone 023 8063 2601, website www.livenation.co.uk, priced at £17, £16 or £15, with £1 concessions.

Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile! It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services. Managing Director Justin Friel feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving
people money, although that obviously helps. Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. We make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’ Cloudy2Clear service the Totton, Ashurst & New Forest areas and Justin is finding that his
approach is a major factor in his success.‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve
done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Justin a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

GARDENING
Leaf Litter By Pippa Greenwood
Are you surrounded, engulfed and swamped with huge quantities of fallen leaves? Whether they come from trees in your own garden or from a neighbour, the deluge of leaves that falls in autumn is often enough to get level headed, treeloving gardeners eyeing up chainsaws!
At this time of year most of us are feeling as if we are being buried alive by falling leaves. Yes, the vast majority of leaves that are dropping from our own and our neighbours’ trees are pretty enough, and for a while their bright reds, yellows and oranges look stunning both on and off the tree. The problem is that it seems as if there is a virtually endless supply of them and after that initial flurry of pretty colour, the positive feeling soon starts to diminish. Leaves that are allowed to build up in your garden can cause problems - on the lawn they smother the turf grasses, often causing patches of die back, largely due to lack of light and oxygen. If the crowns of the less tough herbaceous perennials or alpines are covered in a soggy blanket of leaves, they too start to deteriorate. So, like it or not, you need to do something - and the sooner you get started the better! A spring-tined rake is perfect for raking leaves off the lawn, and can even work quite well on a gravel drive (provided you don’t rake too deeply and end up ploughing up the stones too!). If you have a lot of lawn or a lot of leaves (or worse still, a big lawn and lots of leaves too) then the
34
easiest way to deal with them is to mow the lawn. Provided you keep the hopper or grasscollector on the mower, when you empty it out you’ll have a fantastic mix of grass clippings and chopped leaves. On beds and borders you’ll usually end up hand picking, or if time and energy is in short supply you could invest in a leaf vacuum or a leaf blower (and this can, of course, be used on most drives and paths, and lawns too). Great, so you spend a lot of time and effort collecting up all these leaves. Then what? Don’t take them to the tip or make a bonfire: make leaf mould. It is as easy as anything and makes a fantastic soil mulch or conditioner…for free! Leaves are best rotted down on their own (they take longer to decompose than the rest of the stuff in your compost heap and need less air and warmth), so make yourself a simple and inexpensive leaf mould bin. Just drive four stakes into the ground to make the corners of a square, and then attach chicken mesh around the outside to make a cage. Stack the leaves in, tread or firm them, add some water if they are dry, then more water if the weather remains dry…
and then leave them be. If you can chop larger or tougher leaves (like horse chestnut) up first, they’ll rot down much faster - either mow them with the lawnmower or ‘chop’ them with a sharp spade. It is worth avoiding very spiky leaves (the spines seem to withstand rotting and get you later!), and any that are very leathery and tough - mainly evergreens such as holly, laurel and camellia, or those from sycamore and plane. If you want to speed the process up you can add a leaf mould
activator, which is available from garden centres. If space, time or money is short then you can also make leaf mould in a bin liner or other bag. Choose a good quality bin liner - not a really thin one - and cram it full of leaves, again adding water and/or activator if you wish. Then stab a few holes in the bag with a garden fork, loosely fold over the top and weigh it down with a brick. Bin liners full of leaves can be hidden anywhere that you have the space - perhaps behind the
shed, garage or greenhouse. If you don’t like the idea of black plastic, then there are now some lovely jute mesh bags which can be crammed full of leaves and act as a perfect container whilst the leaf mould is forming, but will eventually rot down and add to the useful material you produce. You can see these on my website www.pippagreenwood.com/products. Whichever method you use you should have a useable product in 12-18 months, but leave it a bit longer and it will be even better!

HOME INTERIORS
Eco Home By Katherine Sorrell
A few simple measures to update your property can make an enormous difference.
Step One - Get to know your home Knowing what your home is made from, how was it originally built, and what changes have been made will make it easier to work out how you can ecoimprove it. Step Two What are its weak points? Obvious problems are rattling, draughty windows, gaps around the edges of the front door and heat escaping through the roof. To help target improvements where they are most needed, commission a professional test for air tightness and heat loss. Best done on a cold, clear winter’s night, it is non-invasive and should cost around £300. Step Three - The loft A top priority for ecoimprovement, with 300mm of quilt insulation recommended, though there should be some ventilation in the loft to avoid condensation. There is a range of insulation materials, but natural materials, such as sheep’s wool or hemp, tend to be better for older properties, as they absorb water vapour and release it. Check your 38
Seagrass is durable, breathable and environmentally friendly, while wall-towall carpeting helps prevent heat loss and draughts. Seagrass Natural, £16.26 per square metre, Urbane Living, 020 7138 38 38; www.urbaneliving.co.uk.
loft regularly for signs of condensation, mould and small animals. Step Four - Windows Windows can leak a lot of heat, especially if they are old and single glazed, and short of double glazing, draught proofing is the answer. For a longerterm solution you will need to cut in a rebate and fit either compression seals (hinged windows) or wipers (sashes). Alternatively, secondary glazing will dramatically improve both air tightness and heat loss, and there are clear panels that fix to the window frame with a magnetic strip. Alternatively, use thick, lined curtains, hung close to the wall, or timber shutters - which are more effective than double glazing. Step Five - Doors To make external doors airtight, adjust as necessary for a good fit, add draught proofing (as for windows) and cover keyholes, letter slots and cat flaps. Use a ‘sausage dog’ at the bottom or hang a long, thick curtain from a hinged rod.
Step Six - Floors Ventilation below your suspended timber floor evaporates moisture from the timber and supporting
Original timber sash windows and doors add character and appeal and, if fully functional and well maintained, can also enhance a property’s value. They do need regular maintenance, of course, and if you run into trouble try to renovate rather than replace if possible, adding draught proofing to improve energy efficiency. This elegant window has been renovated by specialists Ventrolla, 0800 0277 454; www.ventrolla.co.uk.
structures, so don’t block up external air grilles. To make the floor itself airtight, a fitted carpet with a thermal underlay is perfect, or for timber boards seal gaps around skirting boards with foam strips, silicon mastic or slivers of matching timber. If the boards have gaps, use fillets of balsa wood or lengths of string, which you can stain, glue and push into place. If you can get below the boards or are planning to lift them, consider adding insulation underneath. Step Seven - Walls It is usually straightforward to insulate modern cavity walls but older, solid walls are more of a problem. Modern systems may trap moisture and cause damp, but one option is to add timber panelling inside, leaving an air gap behind. It may also be possible to add external or internal insulation, but be sure to get impartial advice.
QUICK TIPS • Installing shutters can reduce heat loss by 60%. For efficiency, they should meet with a rebated edge and include a brush strip or rubber seal. • A thick rug helps to reduce draughts through gaps in floorboards. • Adding a pelmet to a window treatment helps to reduce draughts and stop warm air disappearing behind your curtains or blind. • Place radiators on internal walls rather than below windows, where their heat can disappear more easily.
Adding a portiere rod is a great way to insulate a draughty exterior door. Hang heavy, floorlength curtains, ensuring that there is enough stack-back space for the door to be opened easily. If possible, use an insulating lining and heavy fleece interlining – bearing in mind that the pole will need to be able to support the weight. 12mm self-closing button portiere in beeswax, from £44.10, Jim Lawrence, 01473 826685; www.jim-lawrence.co.uk.

HOBBIES
What your brain can gain from a musicmaking hobby By Kate McLelland
When did you last pick up a musical instrument and play a piece of music from beginning to end? Last week? Last month? Last year? Sadly for most people the answer is quite likely to be: “Not since I was a child.”
Musicians are most likely to develop their abilities during childhood. It’s the ideal time to learn basic skills such as reading music and playing an instrument, but as children turn into teenagers it’s not unusual to find that the pleasures of learning and playing are sacrificed to the pressures of taking exams, studying at college or university and – eventually – taking up full-time work. Although it may be hard to find the time to make music as a busy adult, much attention has recently been focused on the physiological benefits of learning to play an instrument. For example, a study based on 157 sets of twins discovered that those who were able to make music were 33% less likely to suffer from dementia. Recent research has also suggested that playing music can improve listening skills, encourage better self-discipline, help with memory and even increase the IQ of both children and adults. In 2009 the University of Zurich conducted research with people aged 65 and over and discovered that playing an instrument for an
40
hour a week produced strong changes in the brain. So whether you’re returning to an instrument you once loved to play, or learning for the first time, you can enjoy your hobby in the knowledge that you’re not just bringing pleasure to others through your music, you are enhancing your brain’s capabilities. If you’re feeling insecure about your musical skills, those first few steps towards learning (or returning to) a musical instrument will be crucial. There are many resources out there, so take your time exploring the options to find a solution that’s tailor-made for your level of skill and experience. If you live in a city you may be able to access adult education services. Pick up a prospectus at your local library or search online to find a suitable course. Some adult learning institutes let you try a taster session so you can decide if the lessons are appropriate before you book an entire course. Alternatively, find a local tutor by searching the Music Teachers UK website (www.
musicteachers.co.uk). This organisation offers a free service to help musicians with every aspect of education and performance and the site provides some valuable information, including a helpful guide to selecting a music teacher. If you are returning to music and have retained some basic (if rusty) skills, you might enjoy joining up with a local amateur music group, or even putting together a group from scratch. Making Music (www.makingmusic.org.uk) helps its members to set up, run and develop music groups in their communities. The BBC’s website also provides some useful links, including resources to help you learn to read music, explore local courses and even find an amateur orchestra in your area (www.bbc.co.uk/learning/subjects/music.shtml). Whatever your interest in music, whether it’s performing to concert level or joining an amateur ukulele orchestra, it can be a hugely rewarding hobby. Apart from the hours of pleasure you’ll get from playing, science suggests that your brain is likely to stay sharp well into old age.
