SHOPPING

CARVING A NEW NICHE Independent of the week Simon Bennett tells Natalie Banyard how he saw a gap in the market for high quality furniture

hether your style is traditional, modern, quirky or classic, Bristol’s Green Woods Furniture offers stunning, quality wood furniture that you won’t be able to resist. Not only that, the Redland retailer’s furniture, beds and organic mattresses are all sustainably sourced, hand-crafted in the UK by skilled carpenters and can be made-to-measure. The impressive independent shop was launched in 2007 by Simon Bennett, who saw a gap in the market while working for other furniture stores in Bristol. Simon tells me: “The furniture would come in from an agent and it had all been flown in from Indonesia or China. “Customers would ask questions about the background of the wood and half the time the agent didn’t even know what sort of wood it was, let alone whether it was ethical. “The furniture also came in set sizes, which was restricting. In the UK we have little alcoves and unusually shaped fireplaces. They don’t have that abroad, so they don’t cater for it. “With all that in mind, I decided to open a shop that offered ethically sourced wood

furniture, crafted in the UK, often within 100 miles of the Bristol shop, at bespoke, made-to-measure sizes.” The formula has proved to be a winner, outgrowing its previous premises in nearby Hampton Road a year ago and taking up residence in its spacious corner property on Redland’s Coldharbour Road. “I had my eye on this shop for a while, but thought it would be out of my price range to be honest with you,” Simon smiles, “but then it became available, I discovered we could afford it, and here we are. “It’s a great sized shop with a basement, in a lovely area, surrounded by a nice community of unusual, independent shops. It’s perfect.” Although it can only keep a fraction of its extensive range on the premises, items on display allow customers to get a feel for the quality of the workmanship and the materials used. There’s a selection of beds in store, including the superbly crafted Plank Gate bed, constructed from sustainably sourced Quebec pine, and the attractive solid Hinton bed with its sloping headboard, made by a Bristol-based carpenter. There’s a number of coffee tables made from various woods and in a range of designs from the one-off, characterful, waney

Nyvt Nypkh 4 Vv}ltily 94 :89;

edge elm table, which would provide a stunning centrepiece to any room, to the more standard oak coffee table, available as a single or as a nest. There are enormous cabinets, dressers and dining tables as well as the smaller mirrors, turned bowls and pretty trinket boxes. Green Woods’ full product range can be viewed on their website or in the catalogues in the shop. If you don’t see exactly what you want, just ask. Everything can be made to the shape and

size you require, plus Green Woods can cater for completely bespoke designs. Simon explains: “We can do anything from giving a piece of furniture in the shop a little tweak to help it fit a customer’s space, to designing a completely unique piece of furniture. “Recently, we designed two children’s wardrobes for a chap down the road who wanted them to fold down to make a chest and unfold to make a bigger wardrobe. It was completely unique and not as

top buys Oyllu _vvkz N|yup{|yl

expensive as you’d think.” All the wood is either reclaimed or from a sustainable source or managed forest, plus for every new customer spending £500 or more, Green Woods dedicates a tree in the Forest of Avon Woodland Trust. And it’s not just wooden furniture. The store also stocks armchairs and sofas made in high quality leathers and fabrics; organic mattresses and bedding made from Welsh wool; beautiful, innovative lighting; quirky upcycled wine glasses and striking pictures and photographs from local artists. With its bespoke, high quality workmanship and ethical values, you’d be forgiven for thinking that Green Woods Furniture ranges would be beyond the pockets of us normal folk. On the contrary, the pieces Simon sells are surprisingly inexpensive, comparing favourably to a lot of the homogenised, self-assembly

furniture on the market. So it comes as no surprise that people will travel across the country to visit the store. “People come from all ends of the UK to visit us,” says Simon. “We’ve made deliveries in Edinburgh, Leeds, London and Cornwall. People find us on the internet and hear about us through word of mouth. We recently had a couple come down from Chester on a motorbike to try one of our organic mattresses. “They were so tired after that, it was very easy to sell a mattress to them! “It’s amazing where people will travel from to get here, but they know they’ll get a well made, ethically sourced, unique piece of furniture that suits their needs perfectly.”

ADVERTISING FEATURE

Windows to keep you warm this winter

R Windows is one of only a handful of manufacturers in the UK to hold four coveted British Standard Kitemarks and its products are licensed under the police-approved Secured by Design scheme. The Bristol-based company shares these prestigious accolades with only seven other window companies in the UK, out of a total of more than 1,800. CR Windows is the only company in the South West –and for a 110 mile radius – to hold all these awards. “Achieving all four British Standard Kitemarks along with Secured by Design and a BFRC energy rating, demonstrates our commitment to remain the leading window, door and conservatory manufacturer and installer in the region,” says sales director Mark Brown. “An increasing number of customers associate the Kitemark with a symbol of quality, which means they have complete piece of mind when buying from us.” Mark continues: “The product range that we now manufacture and install is second to none. Whether it is a new front composite door, a new conservatory or replacement box sash windows, we are able to provide free and expert advice to our customers to ensure we match their requirements and ideas.” All quotations are free and the sales advisors are on hand to meet customers in the showroom or at their home to discuss requirements and provide a quotation.

SERVICE CR Windows aims to provide a “no pressure environment” in which options are discussed and a price is provided. Staff will not “chase” their customers for an order. Mark says: “It is our company ethos to let the customer decide whether or not to proceed and this has proven to be a very good method, as our past and existing

customers testify. “Recommendations are of the utmost importance to us at CR Windows and it comes as no surprise that personal recommendations are responsible for a large percentage of our sales. “We have a large portfolio of customers’ letters and emails thanking us and our installers for the work we have carried out, and these are circulated throughout the company as we believe everyone has a had a part to play in all installations.”

CONSERVATORIES Customers who enquire about conservatories will receive advice on the type of conservatory and its design, while experts from CR Windows can also help with the planning application. The company’s builders, working with a surveyor, will see through the entire build, from the first spade in the ground right through to the plastering, electrics and finishing touches. CR Windows and its highly skilled workforce of builders, electricians, tilers and carpenters will take care of everything. In addition, sales advisors can provide ideas and designs to ensure customers benefit from their conservatory all year round, so it becomes a bright and useful room for all seasons.

BIFOLDING DOORS CR Windows’ new slimline bifolding doors are proving to be extremely popular, whether they are required to divide a room, replace existing windows, patio or French doors. As always, the company endeavours to provide a complete service, from initial discussion and site visit, through to a survey and installation. All CR Windows’ products do, of course, adhere to the stringent requirements of the Kitemark standards and are covered by a comprehensive 10-year guarantee.

MANUFACTURING At the forefront of CR Windows business strategy is a commitment to making its own products. The factory staff have developed a wealth of knowledge and expertise in this field and this is what enables the company to produce and install consistently high quality windows, doors and conservatories. All of the company’s installers are trained to the British Standard Institute (BSi) standards and are audited by BSi to confirm that these standards are being maintained.

TEAMWORK CR Windows employs more than 60 local staff comprising 13 installation teams, three service engineers, and a surveyor along with factory and office staff, who all work together as one, cohesive team. This year is the company’s 35th year of continuous trading and it’s also celebrating the fact that four employees have been working here for more than 30 years! They are Jim Cowell (service engineer); Dan Kitchen (conservatory installer); Dean Lancaster (production director), and Barry Whitelock (Senior Fabricator). Mark says: “To have employees who have worked at the same company for more than 30 years each is something of a rarity today, and it just shows the type of company that CR Windows is. “We are very proud that this is a ‘local’ company which manufactures and installs its own goods –a rarity these days. We believe that we manufacture and install to the highest standard and provide the most secure products on the market.”

HEALTH&BEAUTY

FACE VALUE Beauty Amanda Pritchard wants women to look and feel amazing. Kate Edser finds out how she does it

or Amanda Pritchard, being a make-up artist is far more than just a job. Combining her considerable experience and skills, with an understanding of what makes women tick, it’s Amanda’s mission in life that clients leave her shop looking and, more importantly, feeling fabulous. And all without having spent a fortune on products. The makeover process begins over a cup of coffee: “What I like to do is sit on the sofa and have a chat so I can find out a bit about them; why they have come in, and how they feel about themselves. “We talk about how they look after their skin, their lifestyle, how they want to look, what celebrities they admire, just to get an insight. It’s a bit like a counselling session. “For me it is not just a job, it is a passion. I just want people to feel different and fantastic when they go out the door. I love my job and it can make such a huge difference. “I show them the transformation process and they look fantastic and so they feel fantastic. Their heads are up and they are walking out the door smiling.” Amanda is the enthusiastic proprietor of Face, a studio in

Bedminster that combines a make-up and makeover service, with hair and beauty treatments. Explaining how the business began, Amanda says: “When I started thinking about Face, a lot of makeover shows were on the TV, like Gok Wan’s How To Look Good Naked, and I used to watch all of them. “But we can’t all write to Gok and get on his show, so I thought women needed somewhere to go in Bristol. “I was working in make-up for a long time and I always did makeovers. I thought there wasn’t anywhere in Bristol for that unless you want to go to a department store, where it is a public place, everyone can watch and it can be intimidating. “I was driving down here [Bedminster Down Road] and I saw this shop. Within a couple of hours I had rented it, but it was a wreck. This was about eight years ago. I had no money put aside, so my imagination kicked in and it was all done on a budget, but with so much love. “Women were soon coming in for make-up, but they would want their hair or nails done and the whole package, so it grew from there really and within a year I needed larger premises. “People said perhaps I ought to be in Clifton, or in the city, but I found that, because we are quite specialist, people were

Nyvt Nypkh 4 Vv}ltily 94 :89;

coming from Stroud, Wales, Weston-super-Mare and all over the place, so I decided to stay local and I moved to this place just down the road. “Everything grew from the studio and now I have five full-time staff, with hairdressers and beauty therapists.” Feisty, and with strong opinions about products, their use, and the way women are treated in the industry, Amanda manages to give advice and instil confidence without being patronising or intimidating. Before long I’m installed in a comfy swivel chair in front of a well-lit mirror surrounded by tools of the trade. Aware that I’m about to be gently chastised for my shoddy beauty routine, I surrender to Amanda’s skill. She deals with only half my face (so that I can really see the

difference, or should that be the error of my ways) and talks me through moisturiser (I try a few), concealer (eye bags soon disappear) foundation (nothing too heavy), before applying all three with different brushes. Thankfully she is impressed that I own a gel eyeliner and apply it properly with a slanted brush, but she blends it beautifully. Amanda has gleaned that I steer clear of anything too dramatic so she uses neutral eye shades, a subtle pink blusher and a clever highlighter just under brows and just over cheek bones. Within minutes she manages to make the right side of my face look rather good and much more “lifted”. Unlike most of the makeovers I’ve had in department stores, I really like the result. Amanda, I discover, is not a

��

fan of department store make-up counters. “You can go to a beauty counter and spent £150 and you’ve got three things, which you haven’t tried and you don’t know if they are any good. “A lot of women have problems with finding the right foundation. Colour is always a problem because quite often they have bought it in a store where the lights are bright and as soon as they go outside it looks totally different. We talk about how to choose.” But there’s more to a makeover than foundation, and it doesn’t have to cost a fortune. “What I also want to do is to save women money,” Amanda insists. “Quite often they bring in their make-up bag when they come for a lesson. We’ll go through it and I’m really straight with people and I warn them

that I don’t mean to offend, but I am here to help. We try and save what we can out of the make-up bag, but sometimes everything has got to go and they have to start from scratch. “We go through a face section by section and sometimes I might do half a face and they might do the other half. So I’m teaching people how to apply make-up as well “For years I didn’t sell make-up because I didn’t want anyone to feel they were being pressurised into buying, because that was not what it about – it was about helping them being able to choose. “But so many women said ‘I wish I could get this or that from you’, but the problem was that I like bits from one company and bits from another. Eventually, last year I bought in Mii

cosmetics, which is a professional brand that you can’t get in the shops. It has taken me years to be happy with one particular brand. I don’t love everything, but I do generally love the range. I trialled it for a long time before I brought it into the shop.” And this is something else I learn about Amanda – she never uses a product that she doesn’t know well, and she samples all manner of things, from budget brands to luxury items. “I would never put anything on anyone’s face until I try it and work with it. People have to trust me. “Some things you can spend just a few pounds on and they are brilliant and some things I believe you have to pay for. Dior DiorShow Maximizer lash serum that you wear under mascara is worth spending money on.

“It makes the lashes stay in place, it gives the mascara more to cling on to and it makes the lashes fuller and longer. “I’m also a massive fan of Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair products, which hold moisture in the skin. “At the other end of the scale, I am trying a Lidl vitamin E face cream.”

Stub it out with help from Smokefree Bristol Plhs{o huk ~lssilpun �� ’� �� ’� ��

ven confirmed addicts know that smoking is a disgusting, expensive habit that is more than likely going to result in disease and an early death. But, because it’s addictive and (usually) enjoyable, smokers have a devil of a job giving up. But help is at hand – if you want it. The city council-run Smokefree Bristol project offers group clinics, private sessions and some home visits for those who want to kick the habit. It provides information, education and nicotine replacement therapy products. During the year to March 2013, 6,754 people came through the system, and, of those, 2,946 quit smoking. To put that in context, the Department of Health considers a “successful” quit someone who is still off the fags four weeks after the end of the eight-week course. The total figure (6,754) includes 337 students, 520

prisoners, 821 long-term unemployed, 528 retired folk, 409 who were sick or disabled and can’t work, 417 unpaid carers, 638 in managerial or professional occupations, and 1,307 manual workers. Anyone can join a course, or book a series of private appointments, whether you’re trying to stop for the first time, or the 21st time. The clinics are run by trained advisors at locations across the city, including in the prison, and in all GP surgeries and some pharmacies, plus a number of libraries, leisure centres and a café at Tesco in Eastville. Best of all, it’s all free (save for the cost of prescriptions). Some people prefer one-to-one help, while others find the support and camaraderie of a group helpful. Smokefree Bristol has been running for about 12 years and has recently been brought under control of the city council. There are 12 staff, under a service manager, and four “leaders” with responsibility for certain groups.

These include people who need to stop smoking before surgery, since research shows that smokers who give up prior to an operation will heal better, need less anaesthesia and spend fewer days in hospital. Another leader works to make stop smoking services more accessible for people with mental health problems and to raise awareness of the links between the two, while a third leader takes the quitting message into the workplace, running clinics at large, local employers. The final leader is concerned with pregnant women, who receive home visits and free nicotine replacement products. This group is targeted because of the harmful effects of smoking on unborn babies. During smoking, carbon monoxide is released into the bloodstream, which restricts the oxygen that’s essential for the baby’s healthy growth and development. Less oxygen means the tiny heart has to beat harder. Pregnant mums in the

city are up to four times more likely to quit successfully with support from Smokefree Bristol. Anyone who quits will be making the biggest single move possible towards improving their health. After just 24 hours without a cigarette, harmful carbon monoxide is eliminated from the body and the lungs can start to clear out mucus and other smoking debris. After 48 hours, the nicotine has gone, and the senses of taste and smell start to improve. Over the next three months, circulation improves and exercise feels easier. Stay off the fags for five years and your risk of a heart attack falls to about half that of a smoker and, after 10 years, your chance of getting lung cancer is half that of a smoker and the chance of having a heart attack is the same as someone who has never smoked. Ready to quit?

Know your blues?

Show me the money Ohknl{ vm {ol ~llr �� ’� ��

itcoin is one of those internet things that’s hard to get your head round: it’s a digital currency, created and maintained entirely by the network. Computers do the work of generating new coins, but the system was designed with built-in limits and there will only ever be 21 million coins issued, over 11 million of which are already accounted for. To expand the system beyond that, fractions of coins will be used. And because everything’s digital and computers are doing all the maths, it doesn’t matter if you’re spending one Bitcoin, or 0.000000001 Bitcoin. No one is in charge of Bitcoin. There’s no bank, no government, no issuer. The network alone is your bank manager. One problem with Bitcoin is that its origins are shrouded in mystery. It began as a white paper published by someone

called Satoshi Nakamoto, who has since “moved on” from the project and whose true identity remains a mystery. Another problem is volatility. The exchange rate between Bitcoin and the UK pound has bounced up and down like a rollercoaster. At the time of writing, one Bitcoin is worth about £121. But that figure could be completely different within a few hours. On the other hand, Bitcoin appeals to people who want freedom. Money moves directly

from person to person and company to company. There’s no middleman. If you want to get involved with Bitcoin, be prepared to do lots of research. Generating new coins sounds like minting your own money, but these days it requires rooms full of extremely powerful servers rather than humble home PCs, which means it’s out of reach for most of us. Good websites to start your research are bitcoin.org and the wiki at en.bitcoin.it. You can buy Bitcoins at bitbargain.co.uk.

op princesses The Saturdays will be adding an additional splash of sparkle and glamour to The Mall’s Christmas Lights Switch-On and Winter Wonderland launch next week. As well as pushing the button to turn on the festive lights, the chart-topping band will be treating fans to an exclusive set including a performance of their brand new single, Disco Love, on Thursday, November 7. Up to 10,000 people are expected to watch Una Healy, Mollie King, Rochelle Humes and Vanessa White perform on Thursday, although Frankie Sandford won’t be joining in the fun as she is expecting a baby. Free tickets are being given away daily from The Mall’s Information Desk until November 7, with a suggested donation of £2 per ticket in support of Help for Heroes.

Maria Crayton, head of marketing at The Mall at Cribbs Causeway, says: “We’re looking forward to welcoming The Saturdays to The Mall and hope to raise £20,000 for the Help for Heroes charity. “We’ve been lucky to draw some big names to Bristol during the last couple of years with JLS raising over £20,000 for the Wallace and Gromit Appeal last Christmas. We’re aiming for similar success this year.” Once the lights are on and The Saturdays have performed, The Mall’s fabulous Winter Wonderland will come to life. Open until January 5, visitors can enjoy a spin on the ice, a ride on the Christmas Train and a visit to the big man himself in Santa’s Enchanted Ice Castle. At over 1,000 square metres, The Mall’s outdoor ice rink is the largest in the South West. So whether you skate like a pro or hold onto the edges, there’s plenty of room for all abilities.

Nyvt Nypkh 4 Vv}ltily 94 :89;

Little ones can also join in the fun on The Nursery Ice Rink, which offers a friendly environment for younger children with experienced ice marshals on hand to help those less confident on the ice. Seal skating aids are also available to hire for under-8s.

As December 25 approaches, children will be thrilled to share their Christmas wishes with Father Christmas in his beautiful Enchanted Ice Castle. Every hour throughout the day, the castle will perform a musical light display and the friendly Santa will give all good

EATING IN Stuffed saddle of lamb is among the best of the west

he New West Country Cook Book is a new 320-page book showcasing the West Country’s culinary talent through 75 recipes provided by 17 of the top chefs in the region. The book is the brainchild of Cornwall-based photographer David Griffen, whose beautiful photographs illustrate each recipe in the book. He also travelled around the region to document producers and ingredients. Contributors include established names such as two-Michelin star chefs Nathan Outlaw and Gloucester-born Tom Kerridge, Michael Caines, Mitch Tonks and Mark Hix, as well as rising stars such as Sam Moody (Bath Priory), Tom Blake (of The Swan at Wedmore) and Josh Eggleton (Pony & Trap, Chew Magna). Tom Kerridge says: “The standard of cooking in the South West over the last few years has risen dramatically, with a number of homegrown South West chefs opening their own places or becoming head chefs in their own right in some fantastic venues.” Focusing on key ingredients that can be found or foraged locally, the recipes in the book emphasise the flavours of food in a uniquely West Country style and the recipes are aimed at the home cook as much as the professional. This recipe for stuffed saddle of West Country lamb is from Josh Eggleton of the Michelin-starred Pony & Trap in Chew Magna. Josh says: “This is ideal for any dinner party and can be prepared in advance. Once cooked, while you leave the lamb to rest for half an hour, you can relax and enjoy a drink with your guests.”

TRAVEL

NORTHERN DELIGHTS World travel On her trip to Lapland Heather Pickstock saw the Northern Lights, drove a husky sled and had an argument with a stroppy reindeer. But had she been good enough to meet Father Christmas?

N forty-something years on this planet I have never felt the need to buy a balaclava. Not a fashion accessory deemed necessary in my wardrobe. However when you are spending four days in the Arctic Circle where temperatures dip to minus 34 and a few degrees below is classed as ‘balmy’, a balaclava is a vital piece of kit. Never having been to a ‘cold’ country before, my trip to Finnish Lapland in Karesuvanto on the Finland/Sweden border was an adventure. The first excitement was on landing at the tiny Kiruna Airport. Descending slowly through the skies I got my first glimpse of this picturesque, snowy

fir tree-lined landscape. How beautiful, I thought, until I saw the runway, which immediately focused my thoughts to “how on earth is this plane going to land on that?” I travelled with Transun and stayed at the Davvi Arctic Lodge. And what a gem this place is. Tucked away in the snowy hillside, surrounded by white frosted firs, this quaint and rustic hotel is the stuff of postcards. We stayed in a three-bedroom fell house which was warm, cosy and incredibly spacious. On arrival we went to collect our snow suits and shoes, which you get to keep for the duration of the stay. As well as these suits you will also need several layers to keep you warm underneath

– thermals are a necessity as are a good pair of gloves, and that balaclava! After taking in our surroundings and playing in the snow for the first night we enjoyed a hearty meal in the restaurant. The food was warming, filling and tasty – just what is needed to keep the body energised for the activities ahead. We had four activities included in our Arctic Spirit Northern Lights package. Our first was snowmobiling across the frozen lakes at night in search of a glimpse of the Northern Lights. Never in my life did I think I would be standing on a frozen lake in the middle of the Arctic Circle waiting for the lights to

appear. One word for it. Mesmerising. The next day we were off to mush the huskies across the snow. This trip is unique as many other tourists only get the chance to sit in the sleigh while the huskies are driven by an instructor. This was my favourite experience of the trip. The huskies are beautiful animals and can survive temperatures of up to minus 60. But they are eager to work and go at quite a pace. Standing on the sleigh and working these dogs with a foot bar is challenging. Once back at the husky ranch we got the chance to meet and cuddle our steeds, feed them and put them back in their kennels. The huskies are so popular that when they retire there is a waiting list to adopt them. After that it was back to the hotel for a refuel dinner before heading off to a reindeer farm where we enjoyed a sleigh ride across the snow before getting the chance to work our own reindeer sleigh. Trust me to get a ‘reindeer with attitude’ which refused to keep to the track. Once the stubborn beasts go it’s hard to stop them and at one point I thought I was en route to the North Pole. Definitely an experience I’d try again, just next time with a better-

behaved descendant of Rudolph. Although we only stayed for three nights, there are seven-day trips at the Davvi Arctic Lodge and a range of additional activities and trips to take advantage of. One of these was an overnight safari by snowmobile into the forest where you stay in a cabin in the forest, watch the Northern Lights and cook on an open fire. You can also stay in an igloo for the night and go cross-country skiing. As well as the fell houses, guests can also stay in log cabins in the grounds. These cute little homes are well appointed and even come with their own sauna. There is also the option of staying in the main hotel. As well as the trip I enjoyed, the Davvi also hosts Santa Safaris in November and December – a chance for children to get up close and personal with Father Christmas. These trips are hugely popular in the runup to the festive season with thousands of children visiting each year to meet Santa. Children and their families are taken on a reindeer sledge through the forest to meet Santa and his elves in a special log cabin. All the elves are specially briefed by Santa so they know the names of each child, what they want for Christmas and whether they have been good. Davvi Arctic Lodge operations manager, Penny Zagloridou, said: “This is where dreams come true and memories which last forever are made. “It is very emotional to see all the children so excited about meeting Santa. The whole experience is special for them – and us.” As well as the chance to meet Santa there are also a range of activities, such as mini snowmobiles, for the children as well as face painting and arts and crafts. There are also day breaks available where children enjoy riding on snowmobiles, toboggan runs, ice sculpting, and riding on a reindeer sleigh before enjoying stories around the campfire. Between 1,000 and 1,500 children enjoy the Santa Safari in the run-up to Christmas each year while up to 2,000 youngsters visit on a day break. I hope to make a return to Karesuvanto this winter to meet Santa himself – Christmas is a magical time even for us adults. So it looks like I will have to be good, very good, this year, if I’m going to impress the man in the red suit. And that, quite frankly, could be a challenge. Nyvt Nypkh 4 Vv}ltily 94 :89;

Once upon a Christmas market _vysk {yh}ls �� ’� ��

s a Segway zips past, I almost choke on my roasted chestnuts when I realise who’s behind the wheel. Wearing a red hat and a bushy beard, it’s Father Christmas, who appears to have left his sleigh and reindeer at home this year. I’m in Hamburg and, as I’m quickly discovering, they don’t celebrate the festive season quietly here. Trees twinkle with lights, markets bustle and there are more than a few cups of gluhwein going round. Nuremberg, Cologne and Dresden may be the shining stars of Germany’s Christmas markets, but Hamburg offers the same dose of festive fun, only with fewer tourists. There are nine main markets to choose from (most open daily from November 25 – although merriment begins with the Hamburg Winterdom on November 8), and a few shorter, charming markets to enjoy if you time your visit for the correct weekend. This historical city also has plenty of local attractions to explore – including the rather

bizarre Miniatur Wunderland (the world’s largest model railway exhibition) and Submarine U-434, a retired Russian spy submarine. My base for the weekend is the four-star Movenpick Hotel, a converted water tower brimming with character in the Sternschanzenpark area of town. The view from my bedroom stretches as far as the eye can see, and I’m almost blinded by the sparkling Christmas lights on the horizon. I certainly have a serious amount of Christmas shopping to do! I head to the Hamburger Dom, North Germany’s biggest funfair, which has been dressed up for Christmas. Teenage boys try to impress girls by jumping on white-knuckle rides, adults browse the stalls, and little ones look bemused by the odd choice of festive decorations – a series of oversized scarecrows. Nearby, on the Reeperbahn (Hamburg’s own version of Soho), I find the rather unusual Santa Pauli, an “adult” Christmas market selling a selection of erotic gifts. These certainly aren’t the sort of things you’d give to Granny! There’s a jovial atmosphere and the grown-ups, supping on their potent drinks, make their way indoors to enjoy

the “topless” shows. Instead, I take the opportunity to return for a peaceful night’s sleep back at the hotel. I need my energy for the Hamburger Weihnachtsmarkt, the biggest market in the city, located in front of the beautiful town hall. Divided into alleys, the stalls are categorised by the types of products on offer. On Handwerksgasse (craftsman alley), expect to find woodcarvers and silversmiths, while Naschgasse (the nibble alley) specialises in edible gifts, and handmade wooden playthings can be found in the Spielzeuggasse (toy alley). Carried away by the upbeat atmosphere, I leave having bought far more than I intended. From Weihnachtsmarkt, I make my way through to the other city centre markets. I head to St Petri Church for more peaceful sales, then end up at the Spitalerstrasse, where most shoppers come to recover with a hot drink. I’m here on a Saturday when a weekly Christmas parade makes its way through the city centre. Fake snow falls from the floats while hundreds of dancers fill the streets. The following day, I opt for a more serene Christmas

experience. The first weekend in December, St Michaelis Church hosts its Christmas market in the church’s crypts. Homemade jewellery, art, crafts and preserves are sold beneath the grand vaulted ceiling. But even if you miss the two-day market, it’s worth visiting to climb the tower and admire the views. With so many markets to visit, I know I won’t have time to see them all. I take advice from the locals and visit the Gansemarkt, an upmarket foodie affair, and the Jungfernsteig market, which has wonderful views of the Binnenalster lake. As I look out of the hotel’s giant windows at the snowflakes falling on the surrounding woodland, I almost break into a festive ditty. I’m sure I’m not the only one who whispers to the very hospitable Hamburg, “Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night”.

s titles go, We Were Here may have more than a hint of finality about it, but Turin Brakes’ frontman Olly Knights is quick to reassure the band’s loyal fans that it won’t be the last album from the London four-piece. “It’s not the end, but it may very well be the end of the beginning,” Olly tells me, rather cryptically, on the eve of Turin Brakes’ latest UK tour, which arrives in Bristol tonight. “It feels like we’ve gotten somewhere now, as if all the albums were stepping stones to here. Other than this, who knows what’s going to happen? “I know we’ve all learned something from this last year, that’s for sure.” A decade and a half into their career, the sixth album from Turin Brakes is regarded by many as their best since the 2001 debut, The Optimist. Recorded over two weeks of 18-hour days at the legendary Monmouthshire studio, Rockfield, We Were Here has drawn wide comparisons, from the psychedelia of early Pink Floyd, to the soul of Laurel Canyon and the blues of the Mississippi Delta, all wrapped up with the band’s familiar guitar-driven sound. Formed in Balham, South West London, in 1999 by Olly and childhood friend Gale Paridjanian, Turin Brakes emerged from the post-Brit Pop era in 2000 and released their Mercury Music Prize-nominated debut the following year. Their second album, 2003’s Ether Song, entered the UK album charts at number four

and spawned the top five single Pain Killer (Summer Rain). After that, they released three further albums in seven years, switching labels to Cooking Vinyl in 2009. Backed by long-time collaborators Rob Allum and Eddie Myer, the new album was engineered and mixed by Ali Staton (Rufus Wainwright/ Madonna/Tricky), who also produced the record. We Were Here is a collection of songs that nods to classic releases of the Seventies, which was partly inspired by recording at Rockfield, where some of the biggest names in rock recorded over the years – including Queen, who recorded Bohemian Rhapsody there. Olly says: “Yes, we fully intended to capture that kind of sound from the very first demos

Nyvt Nypkh 4 Vv}ltily 94 :89;

and that then influenced us in taking the album to Rockfield, where we hoped the history of the place would complete the mix, and I think it did. “It’s hard not to feel like you’ve gone back to the Seventies when you’re there – all analogue machines, no computers and lots of brown furniture. It’s brilliant. “With this record, the four of us brought in our own very different influences – everything from jazz to hip-hop to ambient music and things like Pink Floyd. “The records of the early Seventies are like extra limbs to us.” In the 13 years since they first arrived on the scene, many of the band’s contemporaries of the time have come and gone, but some, like Coldplay and Muse, have gone on to enjoy

worldwide success and playing arenas. Do Turin Brakes ever feel they have been slightly overlooked in terms of commercial success? Olly says: “Every day on Twitter I read someone randomly asking why Turin Brakes are so underrated or why they aren’t bigger. I suppose we’ve never really neatly fitted into anything that’s an easy sell in terms of marketing. We’ve only ever sounded like Turin Brakes, but we feel like the back catalogue speaks for itself. “This past month has felt like a little turning point, what with the album flirting around the top 40 and some notable bands and friends supporting it. “In some ways, this album feels like a new chapter has begun for Turin Brakes.” David Marks

The triumph of hope over heartbreak Npst vm {ol ~llr Xopsvtluh 09:I4 A@ tpuz1

s she approaches her 79th birthday, national treasure Dame Judi Dench looks certain to be gifted a seventh Oscar nomination for her tour-de-force portrayal of a guilt-stricken mother in Philomena. It’s a compelling performance of deep emotion based on a true story that deftly tugs the heartstrings without resorting to cloying sentiment. Dench is complemented by Steve Coogan as a cynical and world-weary journalist, who initially scoffs at the suggestion that he should pen an article about the matriarch and her heartbreaking ordeal. “Human interest stories are a euphemism for stories about weak-minded, ignorant people,” he proclaims dismissively.

The tender and unexpectedly touching relationship that forms between these two characters from different generations and backgrounds provides Stephen Frears’s uplifting film with its emotional thrust, as the search for answers moves between continents. Coogan’s script, co-written by Jeff Pope, is lean and peppered with earthy humour, whether it be the much abused heroine reliving the ecstasy of her first sexual experience or her encouraging the journalist to jump into the back seat of a rental car. “There’s plenty of room. It’s a Vauxhall Cavalier,” she trills. The incredible road trip begins when Jane Lee (Anna Maxwell Martin) discovers her mother Philomena (Dench) fell pregnant as a teenager in 1952 Ireland and was forced to give up the baby to the sisters at

40 Weekend From Friday, November 1, 2013

Roscrea Abbey. Jane pitches the story to former Labour advisor turned BBC journalist Martin Sixsmith (Coogan). After a reality check from his wife Kate (Simone Lahbib), Martin agrees to help Philomena track down her boy. “I’d like to know if he thought of me,” Philomena tells Martin. “I’ve thought of him every day.” Using his connections, Martin takes Philomena to Washington DC to sift through official documents, hoping for a breakthrough. Throughout, Philomena clings to her faith, lighting a candle for her child. However, Martin cannot conceal his contempt for religion, telling Philomena, “It’s the Catholic Church that should be going to confession, not you!” Directed with a light and assured touch by Frears, Philomena celebrates the power of hope to heal old wounds.

Dench is magnificent and Coogan jettisons most of his Alan Partridge tics in support, gradually warming to Philomena and her upbeat outlook on life. “Just because you’re in first class doesn’t mean you’re a first class person,” she tells him during a long haul flight in economy class. Tears flow freely as the eponymous heroine discovers the fate of her boy, seizing upon every nugget of information, no matter how banal, as if she had just won the lottery. We certainly strike it very lucky with Frears’s wonderful picture.

A dark world of nonsensical plot gaps Zl}pl~ \ovyB {ol Lhyr _vysk 9:I4 99: tpu|{lz

s big and muscular as its hammer-swinging hunk, and equally short on sparkling repartee, Thor: The Dark World is a sequel-bynumbers that slots neatly into the ever expanding Marvel Comics universe. There are verbal references to The Avengers, a cameo by one of Thor’s fellow superheroes and a teaser during the end credits that introduces The Collector (Benicio Del Toro), who figures prominently in next summer’s Guardians Of The Galaxy. If nothing else – and there isn’t much else – Alan Taylor’s film is a master-class in brand recognition. The Dark World squanders the strongest actors, including Tom Hiddleston as arch-villain Loki, in order to focus on the miasma

of slick digital effects. Screenwriters Christopher Yost, Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeeley bamboozle us with their cod-science, spinning a yarn about an alignment of worlds every 5,000 years. The Dark Elves of Svartalfheim led by Malekith (Christopher Eccleston) and Algrim (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) intend to unleash a fluid called the Aether, which will plunge the Nine Realms into eternal darkness. Throwing a spanner in the works, astrophysicist Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) has been exposed to the swirling gelatinous goo, which now courses through her veins. Thus, Malekith and his hench-elves launch an assault on Asgard, where Thor (Chris Hemsworth) has concealed Jane in the hope that his father Odin (Sir Anthony Hopkins) can extract her Aether.

Meanwhile, back on Earth, Jane’s mentor Dr Erik Selvig, colleague Darcy and intern Ian prepare for Armageddon. Thor: The Dark World ricochets noisily between action, comedy and romance, punctuating set pieces with deadpan humour, like when Thor accidentally destroys an ancient statue of Bor and Loki quips, “Well done, you just decapitated your grandfather!“ A couple of plot twists, including the miraculous resurrection of one key character, cause almost as much head-scratching as the use of wormholes to travel between the Nine Realms. Hemsworth swings his hammer with gusto but there’s no obvious sexual chemistry with Portman and Eccleston’s chief villain doesn’t have sufficient screen time to become more than a minor irritation.

Considering the hundreds of hours and millions of dollars invested in the sequel, it’s depressing that small details have been overlooked. When Thor crashes onto the platform of Charing Cross Underground station and asks a female commuter, “How do I get to Greenwich?”, she chirps, “Take this train, three stops.” Evidently, the passenger is dazzled by the beefcake’s flowing locks and rippling chest because the Northern Line doesn’t pass anywhere near his intended destination. Mind the plot gap.

Little horrors lurking in puppetry show XQKS WN \PM _MMS \ol [ovw vm Tp{{sl Pvyyvyz Uvukh 4 Vv}ltily <4 {v [h{|ykh 4 Vv}ltily A4 \vihjjv Nhj{vy \olh{yl4 Zhslpno Zk4 Jypz{vs6 [ll spz{punz mvy kl{hpsz6

uppet theatre for adult audiences is about a great deal more than slapstick and end-of-the-pier shows – something that Bristol, with its biennial Festival of Puppetry and handful of world-renowned puppet-theatre companies, knows better than most. Formed in 2000 by a trained sculptor, illustrator and theatre designer and a puppet-maker and former fire-eater, escapologist and clown, Pickled Image are – like their Bristol colleagues Green Ginger – leading exponents of puppet theatre for adult audiences. And Pickled Image are as aware as anyone in their chosen field of its seemingly infinite possibilities for storytelling and for providing strange, otherworldly atmospheres. Their work mixes an emotional,

atmospheric quality with plenty of dark humour: previous show Houdini’s Suitcase, for example, told the story of an old man waiting atop of a towering pile of luggage in a deserted railway station, remembering his past. As he opened his bags, a macabre carnival of strange and beautiful characters emerged to tell his story. The company’s latest show sounds every bit as atmospheric. The brilliantlynamed The Shop of Little Horrors centres on Grimlake’s Emporium of Novelties, a dilapidated shop on the outskirts of Nowhere, where corny magic tricks and strange puppets collect dust and cobwebs. Albert Grimlake, the proprietor, is a man obsessed with puppets. But Albert is growing old and has no successor. Enter Eric, the perfect applicant: keener

“

than mustard and easily moulded. But Eric soon discovers that there’s so much to learn… “It’s an evening of dark, twisted adult puppetry with a wicked sense of humour – we wanted to create a show that was both frightening and funny in equal measure,” explains Pickled Image co-founder Dik Downey. “We were inspired by a range of shows and characters including The League of Gentlemen, The Twilight Zone, Ronnie Barker’s character from Open All Hours – and my dad, on whom Albert Grimlake is heavily based. For this show we have used a few styles of puppetry, but mainly it features a lot of ventriloquist dummies, which we felt were best suited to the sinister, creepy feeling we were looking for. “We also studied some leading ventriloquists to help us

We wanted to create a show that was both frightening and funny

Nyvt Nypkh 4 Vv}ltily 94 :89;

create the roles.” The company’s style has always had a dark, humorous twist, Dik explains. “We have always created work which has been slightly outside the norm, not cute or mainstream. In recent years puppetry has become more popular with wider audiences, and is finally getting the recognition it deserves, and the Bristol Festival of Puppetry is a great example of how popular the art form has become.” There’s clearly a dark, gothic element to the show – and, indeed, to much of the fare at the Bristol Festival of Puppetry. “Puppetry is an excellent medium for portraying gothic, darker themes, as there are no rules with puppets,” Dik explains. “They are wonderful at getting the audience to suspend their disbelief. You can recreate whatever is in your imagination, be it a half-bodied, abstract representation of a person, or a character created from found objects or junk. And, as long as they are manipulated with focus and skill, audiences will accept that these things contain life.”

ART

Take home your own piece of Bristol’s street art scene �� … |u{ps [|ukh 4 Vv}ltily :<4 ]wmlz{ Ohssly 4 Jypz{vs6 [ll spz{punz mvy kl{hpsz6

rom today onwards, Bristol’s art lovers and street strollers alike should keep their eyes peeled as they navigate the city’s pavements – because they may just happen upon one of a collection of poignant, affecting artworks left around the city by an up-and-coming street artist. The intriguingly-named My Dog Sighs handpaints his inimitable designs on recycled materials – typically food, drink and spray cans. Each of his street pieces has its own character, whether it’s a melancholic clown or aggressive punk. This month, MDS is exhibiting at Southville’s street art gallery Upfest – and he’s giving his show a decidedly local flavour. The artist has used materials picked up on the streets here in Bristol to create the pieces in the exhibition – in particular, cider and spray cans, in a homage to Bristol’s street art scene and the West Country’s

cider culture. Today, meanwhile, MDS will be leaving a set of his highly collectable pieces around the city, for members of the public to find and take home. The artist started this phenomenon – Free Art Friday, as he calls it – a decade ago: now, similar projects take place across four continents, with hundreds of artists leaving their own works around towns and cities for the public to find. “About ten years ago, I found myself fascinated by the growing popularity of street art, and wanted to do something of my own,” the artist explains. “I loved the way that street art was accessible to all, not hidden away in a museum. I also loved how it interacted with the urban landscape and had an exciting energy about it. “I wanted to be part of it, but didn’t want to damage other people’s property in order to make my own mark.” The solution that MDS came up with was to create art at home, and leave it out for

Nyvt Nypkh 4 Vv}ltily 94 :89;

people to stumble across and, if they so wished, give a home to. And that’s what he’s been doing, one piece a week, for the last decade. After a while, he began sharing the images of his homeless artworks online, and slowly friends and colleagues started to do the same. “A community of about 1,000 artists built up over the space of a year. What we didn’t know was that someone in the US had seen what we were doing and started their own offshoot. “I soon realised that there were huge communities of artists running their own Free Art Fridays across the globe, in the US, Russia, Australia, Israel, Germany. “We’ve even had a few pieces put out by servicemen in Afghanistan! It was never meant to be a movement, though – it was just me trying to cheer up someone’s walk to work…” For his Upfest show, My Dog Sighs has tried to give his pieces a very Bristolian feel. “The two things I associate with Bristol are spray cans and cider. I paint

at the Upfest festival every year and it’s the only time I ever drink cider! I obviously get through a few spray cans while I’m painting there, too...” He’ll also leave a permanent mark with his Bristol Hug, a street mural of a happy, everyman character, designed to bring joy to the people of each city he visits. “I’ve seen the effect of a big hug and a smile, so I’d like to travel the world and give each city I visit a giant hug. I’ve painted four large-scale hugs around Bristol, in the hope that they raise a few smiles.” In fact, though, My Dog Sighs’ poignant, wistful little portraits often have a quiet, melancholy feel. “The characters I put out on the street have been painted with love and tenderness. “They’re almost a family to me, and when I let them go I want them to tug at someone’s heart-strings. “The faces I paint have just a hint of desperation about them – and I hope passers-by will want to take them home and look after them.”

his delightful illustration comes from The Railway Rabbits, the latest book by Bristol author Geraldine Taylor. It is, she declares “a story for children, written for us grown-ups as well.” Spurred on by a desire to “go back to where life was” she has crafted a new tale with a very modest limited edition available. “I believe that in small, calming ways, yes, we can go back for a while, and for a wholesome, full life, we must,” she explains. “I’ve no idea where back is for everyone, but for me it’s full of colouring books and Christmas bells that chime.” And rabbits. This latest book, once again

featuring illustrations by local artist Dru Marland, features a retired High Court Judge in search of his childhood, and an historian trying to keep an impossible promise. “For children, it’s about a brave little rabbit searching desperately for her father, helped by Hairy Old Badger, a one-eyed owl and London taxi drivers,” says Geraldine “This is the book of and from my heart. Written to defy this mad world, or perhaps because of it.” There’s a limited edition of 100 and if you want to join Geraldine’s railway journey “to find what really matters” you can buy a copy for £5 by sending a cheque to her c/o 28 Berkeley Road, Westbury Park, Bristol,

PROPERTY

SLICE OF CLIFTON LIFE Property of the week Chantry Villas, Clifton, Bristol

he enduring appeal of quality homes in Bristol’s most prestigious area – Clifton – has been borne out by the “significant interest” in a set of new homes under construction there. Linden Homes has recently put on the market 12 homes called Chantry Villas, and several have already been reserved off plan. The development, on Chantry Road, has been described by the builder as “the most significant new homes scheme in Clifton for a long time”. Designed to blend with the surrounding Victorian architecture, the scheme comprises eight town houses and four two-bedroom mews houses, all with

Nyvt Nypkh 4 Vv}ltily 94 :89;

off-street parking and south-facing gardens. The location, meanwhile, is enviable, being close to vibrant Whiteladies Road, with its shops, bars and restaurants, and the open space of Durdham Down. It’s also within walking distance of a number of schools, the University of Bristol and the city centre. Prospective buyers have included local people as well as those from abroad looking to relocate to leafy, up-market Clifton. Sue Scholfield, sales director at Linden Homes Western, said: “Chantry Villas is probably the most significant new homes scheme in Clifton for a long time and, as anticipated, we have received a lot of interest from home buyers, with a number of the properties now sold off plan.”

The four/five-bedroom houses with three bathrooms are arranged over four floors and have been priced from £675,000. The layout places a spacious kitchen opening on to a large dining and family space on the ground floor, with a first floor drawing room. The four mews houses are priced from £359,950 and have two double bedrooms, two luxury bathrooms and a spacious first floor kitchen leading to a living/dining space complete with balcony. In addition, each has an integral garage and a sustainable sedum roof.

Measurements, often supported by photographs, will be taken of the existing space, which are kept on file so the designers can accurately plan your updated room. You will then be invited back to one of the showrooms, where the designer will present ideas to you in detail, using full-colour computerised imagery which means you will be able to “see” the finished product. This is your opportunity to fine tune the details, so that a scheme can be finalised which fulfils all your requirements. At this juncture the designer will be able to discuss costs in some detail with you and different options can be examined to achieve what you want at a suitable price. At no time will you be pressurised to go ahead with something you are not entirely happy with.

INSTALLATION For many years now we have offered a fully comprehensive installation service in contrast to many of our competitors, who are only set up to handle the core installation work. Long ago we came to recognise that people would prefer to deal with one company, who can do all the work, so that they do not have to deal individually with tradesmen, whose work schedules may be difficult to co-ordinate. Very often we come across kitchens or bathrooms, where a small amount of building work is required, for example a wall

needs removing or an area needs plastering. This is often inconvenient as this work must be completed before the main installation works can start. We spend a long time scheduling each project, so that, wherever possible, one job can move seamlessly to the next, with absolutely minimal disruption. We also offer a comprehensive decorating and tiling service to ensure that all projects can be supervised and completed by us. When customers decide to proceed with us, we always give them a schedule for the week the work will commence. Shortly after placing an order, one of our project managers will visit your home to run through the job with you. Just before the work is due to proceed, a customer services manager contacts you to confirm the start time. The customer service manager is your main point of contact and will be in regular contact throughout the project. One of our project managers will oversee the work. They are all experienced installers and are ultimately responsible for ensuring that our very high standards are maintained. Whatever your needs – a kitchen, bedroom or bathroom – Timbercraft can provide the answers with care and professionalism.

Deco curves bring harmony to house and garden Ohyklupun �� ’ ��

rban housing has varied in style throughout the last century. Victorian housing was predominately terraced and the gardens were not given a high priority. With space taken up by coal storage, prams, bikes, and the outside privy, there was little room left for lawns or borders. The up side of this was the emergence of public parks, which are one of the great legacies still enjoyed today. By Edwardian times, the garden had a greater priority and, by the Twenties and Thirties, mass housing included rear gardens. With increased leisure time, the art of gardening was no longer exclusive to the landed gentry and became the new pastime for suburban folk of all classes. Lawns, borders rockeries and ponds were now desirable features. At the same time, design had been applied to every item in the Thirties household, from fabrics and wallpaper to

crockery and clothing. Art nouveau/deco was a strong unifying force and this filtered down to suburban houses. The house featured is owned by a delightful couple with two young children and is a particularly good example of Thirties design. The front features a curved bay window, which was an example of a new, mass-produced technology at that time. Pure geometrical shapes featured in all design at this time – a theme which has been reflected in the use of curved walls in the garden. The windows in the house

��

were originally steel, painted black, contrasting with classic white walls. The choice of black limestone paving and wall copings in the garden, with white rendered walls, reflects this theme. Originally, the garden had not been landscaped to any great extent, so the ground sloped right down to the back door, leaving little level space for a patio. The first major job was to dig out this area and build a curved seat-height wall, to retain the lawn and create the main sitting area. This involved taking out 36 tons of clay uphill and through a

narrow garden gate. Steps were then built up to the lawn and a small gravel area level with the lawn makes another sunny sitting area. Further steps then curve around the edge of the garden, arriving at an upper gravel area, which takes advantage of extensive views across to Stoke Bishop, as well as enjoying the last of the evening sun. We were able to carve a curved, flat lawn out of the hillside and this then slopes up sharply to the rear, which will mature into a grass bank, filled with wild flowers and bulbs. The slope to this garden was always going to be a challenge and in the Thirties, when it was built, the budget for such a house didn’t stretch to any extensive landscaping. Now, with the addition of this architect-designed garden, the house and garden fit together.
