“My wife and I had a really good experience with this company from start to finish. Kaz took the time to fully understand everything we wanted for our new kitchen and gave us some great ideas and options that really helped give us the final design. It was refreshing to feel like we were working through a project with him rather than being “sold to”. We didn’t really know too much about the various materials and finishes but Kaz gave us all the information we needed to make our choices and we felt confident about getting good value for money.” Thank you KN Kitchens.

We are always pleased to help you create a look all your own - so much nicer than duplicating a look from a High Street store or catalogue. This needn’t be expensive, in fact people are often surprised to discover our prices are usually less than if you bought the same product elsewhere or online! We love this Season’s strong new colour palette with easy to wear shades of blue, khaki and grey plus of course the ever popular black. Splashes of burgundy and ochre brighten things up and there are some very interesting knitwear pieces. The Autumn/Winter collection by Italian brand ANONYME proved very popular last year and the items received so far certainly don’t disappoint.

The acclaimed stage designer, who has worked previously with the Serpentine and CHANEL, created Mirror Image, a bespoke installation in collaboration with CHANEL.

interactive photo booth which combines machine learning, poetry and design. Guests were invited to donate a single word, which an algorithm turns into a poem that forms the photographic flash in the booth. Music at The Summer Party included a live performance by Rita Ora, and DJ sets by Jamie XX, Caius Pawson, Benji B, and Seb Chew. Stage and video content was by the artist Cao Fei, while artist Athena Papadopoulos contributed a sculptural landscape across The Summer Party site, entitled Gurney 1 (2017) and Gurney ii, (2017). The Serpentine’s legendary summer fundraiser raises essential funds for the Galleries’ programmes, keeping access to the Serpentine free and open to all, all year round. Yana Peel, Chief Executive Officer, and Hans Ulrich Obrist, Artistic Director, Serpentine Galleries said “There are two kinds of people who visit the Serpentine, artists and those who love artists. We celebrate both at The Summer Party – amazing people who inspire the widest audiences with the urgency of their work. We are delighted to welcome CHANEL as our partner for The Summer Party as we enter this new era for the Galleries. And we appeal to each and every person who has attended to use his or her power to support the arts in a way that can truly change the world.”

Dahlia Days at Pashley Manor Gardens Tuesday 5 September every day up to and including Sunday 10 September, 10am - 5pm

As summer turns to autumn the gardens at Pashley, on the border of Sussex and Kent, are ablaze with colour, provided by hundreds of dazzling dahlias, during the Dahlia Days event. Over 40 varieties of this diverse perennial are planted throughout the garden; pinks in the Rose Garden, sunny yellows in the Golden Beds, whites in the Elizabethan Garden, purples in the Pool Garden and more. The pièce de resistance is the hot reds and oranges, interspersed with darker burgundys and complemented by the second flowering of roses, canna lilies, late flowering perennials and other annuals, in the magnificent herbaceous borders, which are at their best at this time of year. During Dahlia Days Bloms Bulbs will be at Pashley with a gorgeous display of cut/potted dahlias, giving advice and taking orders and Pashley’s gardeners will be giving talks on dahlias. The café, with terrace, serves locally sourced and homemade cakes, scones and light lunches; the shop has gorgeous gifts, souvenirs and plants, and there are exhibitions of garden sculpture and floral art. Whether you want to learn more about dahlias or just enjoy the eyecatching displays of these vivid, multi-hued blooms do come and spend a day in the gardens during this week of fantastic early autumn colour.

Making the right choice . . .

Danson Tree Care would like to warn the public to be wary of uninsured tree surgeons. “The risks of hiring an uninsured tree surgeon include YOU having to take responsibility for damages to your property and possibly your neighbours’ as well as any injuries to the tree surgeons themselves! Even if a tree must be removed, safety and training is still needed to prevent additional damage (to both the tree and your property) from its removal. Like many other professional tree surgeons, we pay thousands of pounds for our insurances and credentials, not just to cover us, but to cover our customers, too. Nick Danson, owner of Danson Tree Care.

See pashleymanorgardens.com or call 01580 200888 for more information.

Read what our customers say on Checkatrade........ “Mrs Williams came to view the garden and discuss what could be done, as the garden had been neglected by tenants, what was left of the lawn needed to be removed as well as a lot of weeds. We decided that the best option would be low maintenance paving/ patio area and shingle. The price that she quoted was the price I paid. Carol and her team were delayed finishing due to rain that week, but finished it as quickly as was possible once the weather was dry. The cost was itemised in writing in a professional way. The garden is now easy to manage and Carol and her team did a very professional job.” ........ Customer in Eastbourne.

A Holiday for Mabel

Mabel at Wagging Tails just loves it when her humans go away for their holidays. It means that she can pack her bag and set off for a holiday of her own. Mabel always goes to stay with her Uncle Stuart and Auntie Wendy who live nearby. They love dogs but don’t have one of their own so they are really happy to have Mabel come to stay. They know all her routines and her funny habits. They take her for brilliant walks and don’t seem to mind how muddy she gets. They are always available for kisses and cuddles so Mabel never feels lonely. Wouldn’t it be fabulous if all dogs had a special person to spend their holidays with? At Wagging Tails we have the most amazing dog-loving carers who will look after your dog as if it was their own while you are away. Contact Mabel via her human secretary, Lesley Birch, if your dog needs a loving holiday home. 01424 814695 www. waggingtailsuk.co.uk/tn
