Welcome
FLOORING AT UNBEATABLE PRICES
Hi everyone, welcome to the summer edition and phew, what a scorcher we’ve had so far! I’m so glad we didn’t go abroad this year, at the time we went away temperatures across Europe were breaking records at well into the 40’s - too hot! The weather in Cornwall was perfect though, enough for a sun tan but not uncomfortable, and as we usually to go in June it’s not too busy. We returned from holiday just in time to catch that amazing finish to the Cricket! Now I’m not a sporty person at all but my husband is, and as a result, over the years, I’ve been coaxed into watching the odd Rugby match here and there, but never in a million years did I think that Cricket could ever hold my attention. It was unbelievable! I didn’t understand a lot of it but it was exciting! I’m afraid there’s a long way to go though before I’ll watch Football! On our return from holiday my husband had the misfortune of having to visit A&E at the William Harvey hospital. I am so in awe of the doctors and nurses there, they are very special human beings. We’ve had the misfortune of attending A&E a number of times over the past few years, if it’s not my husband it’s my son! The staff there are brilliant, we would like to thank nurses Jenny Taylor and Grace Knight, not just for patching him up so well but also for their humour that lifted the mood following his harrowing experience. Your names are etched on our memories, you both know why! Thank you so much. Logo master.indd 1
Until next time, have a wonderful Bank Holiday weekend.

Add Some Vertical Interest Whether your garden is large or small, long, wide or a completely uneven shape, you can guarantee that it will benefit from having some height added to it – and what better way to do this than by erecting an arch or arbour? The great thing is that, of course, any vertical structure you install in your garden makes for a new planting opportunity too… So what are the advantages of a bit of vertical structural interest (aside from the plants it can support) and how can you make the very best of them in your garden? Position an arbour it so that it overlooks a good view or particularly attractive part of the garden and you instantly create a fabulous place to sit and relax. You can also use an arch or even an arbour as a means of dividing your garden into one or more rooms. This age-old designer’s trick can make your garden seem
4
a lot larger and more interesting. Chosen carefully, arches and arbours themselves are good looking and can be a feature in their own right, so don’t necessarily go for the first one you see; shop around and remember that if you clothe them with climbers, you are adding to their appeal. Some plants look great but others have another secret ingredient:
Any vertical structure you install in your garden makes for a new planting opportunity scented climbers, like some of the rambling or climbing roses, or honeysuckle or jasmine, can totally transform the whole garden as their perfume wafts out for you to enjoy.
If an arbour is situated in a sunny spot and you have fairly free-draining soil, why not plant an area around it with lavenders? Then you can enjoy both the way it looks and the perfume and aromatic leaves as you sit and relax after a stressful day. In sunny positions, thymes or camomile can be used to great effect on the approach to your archway or arbour – when your feet gently crush the thyme or camomile lawn, a fantastic aroma will be released. Arches and arbours are available in a wide range of materials, but by far the most popular are those made from wood or metal. To a large extent it is a case of shopping around to find something that suits your garden style, the purpose you have in mind for it and, of course, your budget. I am a great fan of wood or
The Garden metal because I find that they both fit in well with the sort of gardening style I like and, of course, you can always use one of the numerous and readily available wood stains or paints to transform it from its natural subtly coloured state to a bright blue, rich red or pretty well any colour you fancy!
naturally going to resist decay – western red cedar or a hardwood such as oak would be my first choice, with Douglas fir or larch a close second. Alternatively you can choose a softwood which has been tanalised or pressure-treated with a wood preservative, which will usually be somewhat cheaper.
Although it is possible to construct an arch or an arbour from scratch yourself, you will be amazed at the range of ready-made arbours and kits for both arches and arbours that are now available. If you choose wood, do ensure that it is a wood which is either
By choosing a wooden arch, perhaps with a rounded top and trellis up the sides, you ensure a really good planting space, and this somewhat more rustic look fits in well with a particularly informal garden. Many of these are also relatively inexpensive and easy to install.
To find out just what’s available, it is well worth paying a visit to several local garden centres or taking a look at mail-order products from the numerous arch and arbour websites, which make window shopping even easier! By Pippa Greenwood
Visit Pippa’s website www.pippagreenwood.com and you’ll find some great gardening items: Nemaslug, ladybirds and other great natural pest controls, stylish cloches, practical and pretty plant supports, the fantastic SpeedHoe, gardening tools, planters, Grower Frames, signed books and more!

Summer Reads
Pull up your sun lounger, pour yourself an ice-cold drink and lose yourself in a good book. Little Darlings – Melanie Golding Lauren is convinced someone is planning to abduct her newborn twins, so when they go missing it seems her fears were justified. But when the twins are found, Lauren is convinced they’re not hers. Have they been swapped for changelings like she believes, or is Lauren suffering from postpartum psychosis? Is she the only one who can save the babies, or is she the one who’s putting them in danger? A chilling page-turner that keeps you guessing. Vegan One Pound Meals – Miguel Barclay This book proves that vegan food can be as delicious, easy and inexpensive as it is healthy. There are twists on classic dishes, such as ‘artichoke paella’, ‘cashew pesto pasta’ and ‘tomato tarte tatin’, along with plenty of original dishes, such as ‘kimchi tacos’ and ‘sticky aubergine bao’. Most only use a handful of ingredients and all work out at around £1 per portion. Recipes are easy to follow and each is accompanied by a mouth-watering image. The Tattooist of Auschwitz – Heather Morris If you haven’t yet read the
8
biography of Lale Sokolov, summer could be the perfect time as you’ll want the time to digest this book in peace. Lale was imprisoned in Auschwitz from 1942 and put to work tattooing the other prisoners. During his time at Auschwitz, Lale witnessed both the brutality of the human race, and its appetite for kindness, self-sacrifice and hope. While The Tattooist of Auschwitz is at times harrowing, it is also a love story. A must-read. The Perfect Wife – JP Delaney Abbie wakes in a hospital bed to discover everything she thinks she knows to be true is wrong. She’s an AI who’s been created by her tech genius husband using memories of the real Abbie, who died five years before. As she struggles to come to terms with her life, Abbie starts to question everything she’s been told. But when she has no rights, who can she trust? Suspense, twists and moral quandaries abound in this skilful thriller. Cleaning the Gold – Karin Slaughter and Lee Child Looking for a quick read? This collaboration between bestselling writers Karin Slaughter and Lee
Child is just 80 pages long. It brings together two of their bestknown characters – Jack Reacher and Will Trent. Will is undercover investigating Jack when they realise there are bigger fish to fry. A perfect slice of fast-paced action to enjoy while you’re waiting for your flight. The Farm – Joanne Ramos Golden Oaks farm doesn’t grow tomatoes, wheat or potatoes. It grows babies. The surrogate mothers (Hosts) are paid to incubate their rich clients’ embryos. While at Golden Oaks, they have to adhere to strict rules, from giving up their phones to following a diet. The Farm is told from the viewpoint of four women: Jane and Reagan are two of the hosts, while Mae is the brains behind the lucrative business. Ate is Jane’s cousin. The Farm is thought-provoking and topical, but above all it’s a fantastic page-tuner of a story.

Woodstock: The Iconic Festival Turns 50 The Woodstock Festival was recognised as an iconic event even as it was taking place. 50 years on, we look at its beginnings and legacy. A plan turned into chaos Woodstock was the brainchild of four young men looking for an investment opportunity: John Roberts, Joel Rosenman, Artie Kornfeld (youngest vice president at Capitol Records) and Michael Lang (organiser of the 1968 Miami Music Festival). They planned to build a recording studio and retreat for musicians in Woodstock, New York (where Bob Dylan and other musicians lived), and decided to fund it via a rock concert for 50,000 people
14
in Wallkill, New York, on 15th18th August 1969. Tickets were distributed and bands signed up, including Creedence Clearwater Revival, whose fame encouraged other big names to become involved. It was on!
Woodstock was muddy; there was not nearly enough water, food or toilets Or was it? Wallkill’s citizens, not keen on being overrun by hippies, passed a law banning
the concert from their vicinity on 2nd July. Stores stopped selling tickets and bands started to reconsider their involvement. Luckily, Max Yasgur offered up his dairy farm in Bethel, New York, but preparations had been massively delayed, including the construction of tickets booths and gates. By August 13th, 50,000 people had walked through the gaps in the fence and camped near the stage. With no way to get them to leave or pay, the organisers declared the concert free – and the audience swelled to over 400,000 people.
The Home A triumph for counter-culture Despite delays, the Woodstock Festival (aka An Aquarian Exposition: Three Days of Peace and Music) was opened, nearly on time, by spiritual teacher and yogi, Swami Satchidananda. Richie Havens followed him on to the stage because the original opening act, Sweetwater, were stuck in traffic caused by thousands of people still flocking to the event. During his enforced three-hour set, Richie’s improvised jam, Freedom, was a signature moment. Bands and artists including Joan Baez, Santana, Janis Joplin, Grateful Dead, Sly and the Family Stone, Jefferson Airplane and
The Who (who played their rock opera, Tommy) followed. With the whole show running late, on Sunday, the Festival began to wind down. Only 25,000 remained to hear Jimi Hendrix bring the festival to a close early on Monday morning, with an epic set that included his unique take on The Star Spangled Banner. Various anniversary concerts have taken place, including Woodstock ’94, which featured Bob Dylan (who declined to perform in ’69). ‘Woodstock 50’ will be held at New York’s Watkins Glen on 16th-18th August and will feature The Killers, Dead & Company, Jay Z,
Miley Cyrus, Imagine Dragons and Santana (performers at the original festival). Woodstock was muddy; there was a lot of sex, drugs and rock and roll and not nearly enough water, food or toilets; two people died; and the organisers were left massively in debt. Yet the festival, which would become known simply as ‘Woodstock’, was largely peaceful, becoming a landmark musical event and an iconic snapshot of ‘60s counter-culture and societal change. Appropriately, a 1960s museum and the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, which hosts outdoor concerts, now sit on the site. By Alison Runham

• Shades of green are very on-trend and provide a lovely background for displays of plants. They are easy to live with and combine wonderfully with whites and off-whites, as well as natural materials such as timber, stone and linen. • Botanical-themed wallpaper and fabrics can be beautiful but quite overwhelming. If you prefer to keep the look relatively subtle, choose small-scale or delicate prints in shades of green and neutrals for background interest. • To make an impact with a display of real botanicals, choose large plants and position in strategic places, as you would a sculpture. Alternatively, place collections of smaller plants together in rows or groups, allowing for contrasts in shapes, colour and texture. Don’t forget to pop trailing plants on a high shelf to create a ‘living wall’ effect. Coordinate pots or planters for a sense of overall cohesion. • Enhance your walls with botanical works of art. Traditional school-style posters are very on trend right now, as are anatomical botanical drawings, eighteenth century-style paintings (used as bold, whole-wall murals) and graphic modern prints.

Maple Glazed Pork with Mediterranean Veg Kebabs
These chunky meat kebabs with a sweet sticky glaze are perfect for a barbeque or al fresco supper served with warmed flatbreads and salad.
Makes 8 Ingredients 750g lean pork fillet, cubed Juice of 1 lemon 2 tbsp olive oil 2 tsp dried oregano 1 garlic clove, crushed 2 large red peppers, deseeded and cubed 2 courgettes, sliced 2 red onions, peeled and cubed 6 tbsp maple syrup 4 tbsp tomato ketchup
TIP
1 tbsp mild mustard
32
Place the cubed pork in a non-metallic container and add the lemon juice, half the oil and the dried oregano and garlic. Toss to coat then cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for 3-4 hours or overnight. Thread the pork, pepper, courgettes and red onion onto 8 long metal skewers. Cook on a preheated barbeque or under a hot grill for 10-15 minutes, turning frequently, until the pork is cooked through and the vegetables are lightly charred. Meanwhile, mix the remaining oil, maple syrup, ketchup and mustard together and brush all over the kebabs for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking time, until glazed and sticky. Serve immediately.
Marinating the meat in lemon juice and oil will make it extra tender. Add some chopped chilli for a spicy touch or add 2 tbsp light soy sauce, if liked.
