Vision On The best tech for watching TV

It’s hard to imagine now, but a twelve-inch TV with four channels was pretty hot stuff not so long ago. Today, of course, we have TVs as big as some houses’ walls, and more things to watch on them than ever before. But what tech actually makes your viewing better? There are two kinds of technology to think about here. There’s the technology in the screen and the speakers, and there’s the technology that you can connect to a TV to add more options. Despite the hype it seems that 3D TV is dead: the technology never took off, probably because nobody wanted to wear daft glasses all the time. Manufacturers still want to sell us stuff, though, so their latest wheeze is 4K TV, also known as Ultra HD. 4K TVs can display four times more pixels than HD TVs, and the result should be a dramatically improved picture.

content available just now: none of the UK broadcasters offer 4K programming. Manufacturers are also experimenting with shapes, and VRPH ÀUPV DUH QRZ RIIHULQJ curved TVs. The intention is to deliver a more involving experience - like IMAX does compared to normal cinemas but curved screens need you to sit right in the middle to get the full effect, which means they aren’t ideal for family viewing unless you’ll all sit in each other’s laps. The best TVs around just now are LED HD TVs. The LED bit refers to the way they’re lit: by using ultra-low power LED lights, LED TVs use much less HQHUJ\ WKDQ RWKHU à DW VFUHHQV If you’re in the market for a new TV, don’t forget about sound.

Belvoir Interiors - the inside scoop! Sam Rose of Belvoir Interiors gave me a tour of the showrooms last week and not being one to blow his own trumpet, was characteristically quiet on the subject of Kitchen Design. I, however, have it good authority that Sams kitchens are highly sought after and the design is both practical and distinctive, leaving the client with a kitchen to last a lifetime in terms of quality, build and design. Both contemporary and traditional kitchens are available and Belvoir Interiors know exactly how to transform any kitchen space into the heart of your home. Due to the exchange rate of the euro and the fact the fact that an order locks in the days Euro rate, savings of over £1500 have been achieved in the last few months on a brand new German kitchen. Brand names such as Kuhlman and Beeck are both well known and offer the high quality that Belvoir Interiors are renowned for at currently very affordable prices, Sam tells me “Now is a great time to order a quality German kitchen.” and proceeded to tempt me with the new innovations in design such as Multi Level Drawers, so utilising the space above the exceptionally popular pan drawer, Pocket doors - designed to slide open and into a recess at the side of the ovens or fridges to hide them away when not in use, giving a neat uniform appearance to your kitchen. Raised washer & dryer units so as bending down to fill them becomes a thing of the past, and other innovations such as powder coated handles to ensure the handles match any colour of drawer. The overall effect is one of sleek and modern efficiency. Kitchens now feature larder pull outs as a norm and few clients opt for wall cupboards, preferring to utilise larder pull outs either floating or freestanding, as full length units. Todays kitchens are not so much about having every wall covered in units, but having the right units for your storage requirements for today, and future proofing for the next several years. Belvoir Interiors guaranteed their kitchens for life*. so getting the initial design correct is absolutely imperative. Pan drawers can now run nearly the whole length of a worktop right up to 2.4m, Glass worktops add flair and elegance and 8

drawers can be colour matched inside to over 400 different colours. I ventured to ask about the notorious kitchen triangle - and Sam was happy to show me how todays designs are about using the space efficiently and

On a like for like quote on a german kitchen Sam told me he was able to quote over a £1000 less expensive than one of the well know larger suppliers. With the quality of service that Sam offers that is an unbeatable offer. Perhaps best left to one of their many happy clients to have the last word Full kitchen and all bedrooms decked out by Belvoir Interiors. Very pleased indeed and would defiantly recommend Sam and his crew. keep up the good work! Many thanks indeed - Ron and Anne.

effectively, thereby doing away with the triangle per se, and using the design of your space to create the most usable workspace for each client, no matter what the space you are trying to develop. Captivating designs have been made for Windmills, Boats and even the Armoury of a Castle! Whatever your space, innovative, quality design can make the most of it! Belvoir Interiors have been trading since 1969 and nowadays Sam has taken a much larger role in the business, without losing the ethos and mission statement of the company.

UK’s largest kitchen facelift retailer approaches its Grantham showroom’s first birthday Having started trading under the Dream Doors banner in December 2013, and subsequently opening a Dream Doors showroom in the October 2014 on Bridge End Road in Grantham. Paul and Felicity Billyeald are approaching the first birthday of trading from their showroom the success of which has exceeded their expectations. They say “we were very excited about opening a new Dream Doors showroom because it allowed customers to come and see for themselves just what is possible with a Dream Doors kitchen transformation, and to see for themselves the huge range of door styles and colours that we can offer, before inviting us into their home.” Dream Doors provides a totally flexible service that allows customers to do as little or as much to their kitchen as they wish, from a simple cost and time saving made to measure kitchen door replacement, to changing worktops, sinks, taps and appliances from all of the ‘big brand’ manufacturers, including Neff for which they are a nominated kitchen specialist. If required, they will also fully design, supply and install complete new made to measure kitchens at very competitive prices. Dream Doors only supply UK manufactured doors and carcases, so you can be assured of the very best quality. They also offer some of the most innovative storage solutions on the market. Paul & Felicity say “We offer an entirely bespoke service to our customers with literally

hundreds of door style and colour combinations to choose from. All of our doors and carcases are made to measure, so every kitchen that we transform is unique. In fact we are often still amazed ourselves at the massive difference a Dream Doors kitchen transformation can make and at such reasonable prices.” Remember that a typical Dream Doors kitchen transformation takes between one and three days to install, which saves time, money and hassle for their customers On top of this, they offer a free 6 year guarantee on all doors and only ask for a 50% deposit at the time of ordering and then nothing further to pay until the work is completed to your satisfaction by their skilled installers. Every Dream Doors franchise is a member of Checkatrade, so you

also have the assurance of being able to see the complimentary things that their customers say about them on the Checkatrade website. Dream Doors was established in Hampshire in 1999 and has now more than 70 locally-owned franchised showrooms throughout the country. “Our customers have the best of both worlds as they are dealing with local family run business owners but you only have to look at the Dream Doors website to see that we are part of a major national brand and are the UK’s biggest name in kitchen facelifts.”

And Another Thing... Dream Kitchen by Tom Hughes

“Tom, I can’t go on like this.â€? My Dearly Beloved’s tone did not bode well. Something was afoot. I decided to deal with the problem head on. I hid behind my newspaper. “Go on like what dear?â€? “Well put your paper down and look.â€? I appeared from above a smiling George Osborne. “What’s the problem?â€? Sarah held up a piece of metal. “The handle has come off the cutlery drawer - again!â€? Fearing a catastrophic raid on WKH IDPLO\ Ă€QDQFHV , RSHQHG negotiations with my standard H.F.O. (Husband’s Fob Off). “Maybe you used the wrong super glue? I’ll nipout and -â€? “Never mind super glue, we need a whole new kitchen. Come on, get your coat.â€? “But how much is that going to cost?â€? “A lot less than a divorce!â€? We pulled into the showroom 18

car park. We weren’t through the doors before a woman dressed in a tight pencil skirt and with protruding teeth appeared. “And if you purchase before midnight on Friday the thirteenth you get a free extractor fan!â€? She lisped enthusiastically. Wiping my face I said, “I’m sorry, are you talking to me?â€? “I’m not selling anything, these kitchens sell themselves. Hi I’m Maureen. And you are?â€? “Tom Hughes.â€? “Can I call you Tom?â€? “No.â€? “Well Tom, our offer today is Ă€YH EDVH XQLWV IRU WKH SULFH of four, and of course don’t forget Friday the thirteenth!â€? She cocked her head in the general direction of the extractor fan. Back in the car park, I breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank goodness you never gave them our number.â€? And with that, my

mobile rang “Mr Hughes? It’s Brian from Fenway kitchens. Can’t wait to help you plan your dream kitchen. Shall we say this Friday evening? The thirteenth? Lovely old Mondeo by the way.â€? I mouthed to Sarah “How does he know I’ve got a Mondeo?â€? Sheepishly, she leaned over and pointed XS DW WKH RIĂ€FHV DERYH WKH deserted showroom, where a middle aged man with silver hair stood waving at me. The evening of Friday the thirteenth saw Brian looking around our kitchen. After a while, he turned to Sarah and said in a voice full of pain, “So, you have been made to cook...in here ? I see. Well don’t worry, because I’ve got the kitchen of your dreams. And it’s in this bag.â€? Whereupon Brian, like the Chancellor on budget day, held up his briefcase. Onyx marble work tops, plate warmers, pull out pantries, Ă€YH ULQJ EXUQHUV LQ IDFW

everything for the wannabe chef. As each sample door appeared I saw the eyes of my dear wife grow wider and wider. This was fast becoming an emergency. “And so with our easy payment plan this kitchen can be yours for just £145 per month.” “Over how many years?” “Twntifve.” “I’m sorry you mumbled that bit.” ´7ZHQW\ ÀYH µ ´<RX GRQ·W PDNH FRIÀQV GR you Brian?” “No, why?” “Because that’s where I’ll EH E\ WKH WLPH ,·YH ÀQLVKHG paying for this blasted thing.

Anyway, I’m sorry to waste your time but I can’t buy your kitchen.” “Why?” “We’re emigrating. To New Zealand.” Sarah coughed into her tea. Brian’s eyes narrowed. I put my head down, gathered up his kitchen paraphernalia and shooed Brian towards the front door. As I gently prised KLV GHVSHUDWH ÀQJHUV IURP around the door jamb, Brian gave it one last shot. “If you’re selling up, you’ll get a buyer much quicker if you’ve got a new kitchen!” Back in our kitchen I decided to offer an olive branch. “You know. It’s not a bad kitchen really. Maybe we can just

change the doors? Listen, have you seen my phone?” “It’s there on the side.” I put my hand on my Nokia. It wouldn’t budge. “Who put it here? Next to the superglue?” “You did.” I pulled and pulled until - crack! The phone came off the worktop, together with a huge splinter of laminate. Sarah snatched it from my hand and holding the piece of chipboard to her ear began to dial. “Tom, you go to New Zealand if you want, I’m calling Brian!” So the question now was, as well as an extractor fan, would Brian throw in the plate warmer?

Great dog groomers right here in Newark! Massive thanks to Lyn & Shelly at Cushty cuts for the lovely job they did with my dog last week. My dog has some health issues that can make her difficult to groom, and she is a fidget as well – other groomers have left her looking quite a mess! However Lynn and Shelly have made her look and smell beautiful and she is once again clipped and clean. Thanks guys – great job! Very reasonable prices too! Karol - Use Locally Magazine

Home & Interiors Eco Homes

A few simple measures to update your property can make an enormous difference, says Katherine Sorrell. 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

By Katherine Sorrell 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 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 GRXEOH JOD]LQJ GUDXJKW SURRĂ€QJ is the answer. For a longerterm solution you will need to FXW LQ D UHEDWH DQG Ă€W HLWKHU 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 Ă€[ WR WKH ZLQGRZ IUDPH ZLWK D magnetic strip.

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.

Elegance, Beauty and stunning home accessories, the divine, the stunning Gracegentle!

Once in a while you find a shop that is a treasure trove of all things beautiful,- individual pieces that make a statement about your home and gifts that you can hardly bear to give away to the intended recipient, and so it is with the divine Gracegentle, located from the 10th October on the corner of Chain Lane and Middlegate.

O

riginally named from Denise’s grandmother, who effortlessly embodied grace and elegance, and whose desire to make her family’s home beautiful in every way, made a huge impression on her granddaughter Denise. Denise grew up aspiring to continue her grandmothers ethos and has not only succeeded but gone several steps further to bring this to our homes as well. 32

Gracegentle is one of those shops that you enter, and are immediately transported to a more elegant version of everything and on top of that it smells divine. The new shop will provide Newark with an increased range of beautiful gifts to adorn and adore. There’s something for everyone to treasure from quirky signs, to cushions, hand made cards, clocks and plaques, occasional furniture, gorgeous bronze sculptures, scarves, handbags and leather goods. Every corner and niche has another beautiful piece that you will have a difficult time leaving without and the range and quality of the items is fantastic. Candles are a very

desirable gift and everyone appreciates a really good quality scent, there are reed diffusers and candles from Stoneglow and home accessories from Lene Bjerre and Frith Sculptures on offer, amongst the hares, cats and hounds. This is truly a shop that gives Newark a unique opportunity to browse the top brands of giftware, which are unique to Gracegentle. To me one of the reasons to visit is that I know that every item has been personally chosen by Denise with the same care, and attention that her grandmother would have given to everything. The feedback has been tremendous leading to the expansion of the shop and the move to Chain Lane / Middlegate. Denise said that “people say it is a beautiful shop and just what Newark needs”, the Gracegentle Facebook page is full of praise “I love visiting Gracegentle” said one, “the range and quality of the items is fantastic and I love the amazing candles and oils – they smell divine” they certainly do! The move to Chain Lane is a wonderful opportunity for Gracegentle’s many clients, to look at the expanded range and to find that perfect gift – then fall in love with it and return for a second just so you can keep it for yourself!

Look out for Gracegentle’s Grand Opening on 10th October with wonderful opening offers and a stunning display of the latest and most desirable gifts and home accessories.

An Amazing time at Twin Lakes What an amazing time we had! From the moment we walked in, it was non-stop fun. We headed straight to the AO GUANG DRAGON ZONE as that’s where the Dragonfalls log flume was.....not my choice, but it’s all about the children.....and they loved it! We then went on the Icarus Sky Flyers, my little boy said it was like being Superman.....and he was right, it was pretty cool. We rode on the rollercaster.....this was the first time for my Grandaughter, she was unsure at first, but when the ride was over she wanted to go again. Her highlight of the day was meeting Elsa & Anna from Frozen, she got their autographs and had her photo taken with them. My favourite was the Dungeon Quest Maze....it was pitch black, 42

thankfully I had my torch on my phone.....cheating I know, I have to admit I am a little scared of the dark! I could talk all day about all the amazing rides, but there is so much more, from the Animal Zoo Farm where we fed the Meerkat’s wiggly worm things...eww! The Creepy Critters Zone.....my little boy loved this! We had to stop to

have some lunch and there are plenty of places to get that bite to eat, and all are very reasonably priced too. After lunch we went on the Zip Wires and as many of the other rides as possible, but leaving just enough time to get our Swimming kit on and go to the Susanoo Splash Play, absolutely brilliant! Our day at Twin Lakes was Awesome! We had such a giggle and intend to go again in the next School holidays. If you have never been.....Go! If you have been before, then I’m sure you would agree with everything I’m saying.

The annual ‘What Next?’ careers event designed to help students choose careers or courses for further study takes place on: 15th October at Kelham Hall, Kelham, Newark, Notts NG23 5QX “There are pre-booked daytime sessions for schools running from 9.30am to 3.20pm with over 1100 pupils already booked to attend, but the event turns into a Parents’ Evening from 4-6 pm,” said Newark and Sherwood District Council Senior Project Officer Veronica Dennant. “It is so important for Parents to come along to this with their daughter or son and to help them make informed decisions about what they should do next, whether they are staying on at school or going into employment or training or further education. In fact anyone who needs careers advice will be welcome.” “Schools both within Newark and Sherwood and from the surrounding the area are invited to attend” said Veronica. “Parents and students can come along and speak to staff from sixth forms, colleges, universities, training providers, industry professionals and local employers about courses, apprenticeships, employment opportunities and general progression routes.” Public services such as the Police, the Army, the Royal Navy and the RAF will also be represented. “If parents have any questions at all about what their sons and daughters might do next after Year 11 (GCSEs) or Year 13 (A-Levels), this is a great opportunity to get all the facts and guidance available,” Veronica added. “It can also be useful for students that are due to pick their subject options to discuss progression routes.” For further information about the event please contact Veronica Dennant at Newark and Sherwood District Council on 01636 655260

Health Benefits of Avocado When it comes to nutrition, avocados are in a class by themselves because of the unusually large number of benefits they offer - more than 20, last count. Loaded with fiber, one avocado contains 36% of the daily requirement of vitamin K, 30% of the folate, and 20% each of the daily requirements of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5, needed to break down carbohydrates), vitamin B6, vitamin C, and potassium more than twice the potassium of a banana. Vitamin E, niacin, and riboflavin levels deserve honorable mention. Eaten with other foods, your body is better able to absorb the nutrients, such as alpha- and beta-

carotene and lutein. Avocado is one of the few fruits that will provide you with "good" fats. That means it can help keep your cholesterol

levels already in the healthy range, and help lower your risk for heart disease. Avocados are one of the best fruits for your health

BMW X1

By James Baggott What’s the spec like?

What is it? This is the totally revised BMW X1. Gone are the weird looks of the last model and in comes a fresh, chunky design that makes it look like a shrinkwrapped X5, but in a good way. One in 10 BMWs sold was an X1 at the height of its success and it was continually in the top three most popular cars sold by the manufacturer, so this new model has a lot to live up to. Aimed at “young, sporty” buyers, the maker believes this is a lifestyle vehicle that can be used every day.

What’s under the bonnet? There is one petrol engine and three diesel options. The former xDrive20i has 190bhp, 280Nm of torque and can hit 62mph in 7.4 seconds. Diesels come in 18d, 20d and 25d variants. The sDrive18d is front wheel drive only, the latter two four-wheel drive like the petrol. We’d pick the £30,630-priced xDrive20d, though. Why? Well it comes with four-wheel drive, is £6k cheaper than the top-of-therange model and still performs well. 66

Standard equipment is plentiful. Navigation, DAB radio, 40:20:40 split rear seat (with handy buttons to fold them ÁDW IURP WKH boot), alloys and an automatic opening and closing boot that you can operate with a wave of your foot, are all included. As you move up the range, larger alloys, different trims and LED headlights are added, while the M Sport adds a smart styling pack too. On the options list is a heated steering wheel, Harman Kardon speakers and a head-up display, plus lots more.

What’s it like to drive? Frankly, quite brilliant. For what is essentially a small SUV it belies its size on the road. Bumps are soaked up beautifully and the ride is plush. The high seating position is excellent and commanding and the diesel engine and automatic gearbox work seamlessly. It’s a very competent package and feels decidedly premium. BMW has worked hard on the chassis for this new X1 and it shows.

Any rivals? Plenty. Direct rivals come in the shape of the Audi Q3 and Mercedes GLA, although we’d argue not quite as good looking as the Beemer. But

WKHQ FDVW \RXU QHW IXUWKHU DÀHOG and you could include the Nissan Qashqai, Kia Sportage and recently launched Renault Kadjar in the same bracket. Those latter options lack the cache of the BMW’s premium badge, but offer considerably better value for money. The verdict We loved the BMW X1. The last one passed us by somewhat – we felt the looks were strange and out of proportion, and it seemed to lack the style we’d come to expect from BMW. This new model is much better, though. The chunky looks make it really stand out on the road – even if it does look like a miniature X5 (but that’s no bad thing) – and the interior is a lovely place to spend time. As you’d expect it feels premium, rides beautifully and has an impressive amount of standard kit. We’d go as far to say that if you’re looking for a premium SUV with diminutive dimensions, this should be at the top of your shopping list.

The Knowledge Model: BMW X1 xDrive20d Price: £30,630 Engine: 2.0-litre diesel Power: 188bhp, 400Nm Max speed: 136mph 0-62mph: 7.4 MPG: 57.6 Emissions: 128g/km
