CUTTING IT

Choosing the right look will save money on your hair, says our Beauty Editor

ANDREAS ORTNER / TRUNK ARCHIVE

here was a segment on BBC1’s News At Ten recently about how pay packets weren’t keeping up with the cost of living and one of the people stopped in the street for their opinion happened to be a hairdresser. She said she had noticed her clients stretching the amount of time they would let their hair go between appointments from the traditional six to eight weeks to 10 or sometimes even 12. One of the biggest beauty expenses the average British woman stumps up for is hair colour, particularly if you’re a salon-goer rather than a DIY-dyer. So can you cheat when it comes to how often you fork out for a refresh? Colour supremo Josh Wood says yes, but you have to ’fess up when you first sit down for your appointment. “The starting point to achieve a look that lasts longer is less about trying to eke out the time between salon visits

and more about chatting to your colourist,” he says. “You need to be clear about how much maintenance a look will require and whether that is the level of investment you’re willing to put in, both in terms of time and money. We design more and more colours today that have a longer life span than the regular six to eight weeks all-over dye job people used to have in the past.” It’s impossible to go bleach blonde and not see roots creeping in, but choose your colour – and colourist – wisely and you won’t find yourself with a stripe of shame almost as soon as you step out of the salon. “Blending and shading are important,” explains Josh. “Using techniques like balayage – a more natural way of doing colour in which the dye is painted on to sections of the hair by hand rather than being wrapped in foils for a more graduated, natural-looking finish – means root regrowth isn’t such a big problem. Choosing this option

will help to give you the longest time between touch-ups.” On a more practical level, keeping hair in its best condition not only helps the look and feel but also stops fading and helps hold the pigment in the hair. “I always ask my clients to do a mask once a week to carry on the work we do in the salon and keep colour trapped in the hair shaft,” says Josh. “I also recommend colour-specific shampoo and conditioners, as these help to keep the hair looking fresher for longer.” It isn’t just colour that needs planning if you want to see less of your hairdresser. Split ends leave hair looking ragged and once they’ve arrived, there’s very little you can do to banish them other than reach for the scissors. Heat-protection sprays will help reduce breakage from styling, while investing in a silk pillow and hair ties that cause minimal damage will mean fewer snags in the long

run. Wearing a hat in the sun to protect against colour fade and damage is also worthwhile. The way you wear your hair will impact on your need to see your stylist, too. Shorter cuts tend to have suffered less from physical wear and tear, as your locks aren’t as old as they are if longer. But they require more maintenance as they lose their shape more quickly. “Long hair can often be left to its own devices as the additional inches don’t necessarily take the shape out of your style,” says Louis Cowley, stylist at Larry King. “Sometimes I don’t see my long-haired clients for six months at a time.” That said, you don’t have to ditch the fringe entirely. If you occasionally need a quick tidy-up, many hairdressers will be happy to help. “Fringes often need a trim between salon sessions and most stylists will oblige for free if a regular client pops in because it’s getting in their eyes,” adds Louis.

Life as I know it

John Torode

Celebrity MasterChef judge John, 52, has four children and lives in London with his partner, EastEnders star Lisa Faulkner Words by Tom Atkinson

SOPHIA SPRING / THE TIMES / NEWS SYNDICATION

Not a lot of people know this but I’m very good at… cycling. I like to go long distances, so I’m really happy to do 80 miles at a time. I am pretty good at it. I can get up a hill and I can come down a hill really fast. My best friend is… a guy called Mike McInnerney who lives in Australia. We are proper great mates. We will sit and talk to each other face to face rather than sitting and staring out at a football match. We know everything about each other. My nickname is… When I first did my apprenticeship, I was called Bippa. It was borne out of an Australian cartoon character, which was this little guy who bounced around all over the place. So my first ever boss called me Bippa and that name followed me through my apprenticeship. There are still three people in the world who call me Bippa. The bravest thing I’ve ever done is… jump off the top of Tate Modern on a harness. I did it for a magic show. We got up to the top of the Tate and they said, “OK, now just jump,” and I jumped off, which was cool. My favourite TV show is… MasterChef. Or EastEnders. My perfect evening is… As long as I’m with my family, I am happy. My perfect evening would always be in a pair of shorts with no shoes on, preferably in a T-shirt with the sun going down and the smell of a barbie with the family around. It doesn’t matter where I am in the world – I will be very happy indeed. I’d like to say sorry to… I believe in what is called an honesty policy. It’s pretty simple: if you do something and you’re not right, you go and tell the person, say sorry or sort it out there and then. Don’t have anything hanging over you – I don’t like things hanging around. My ﬁrst kiss was with… Louise Larrier. I was in grade six at school. The best thing my parents taught me was… My father said, “Just treat people the way you

want to be treated,” which is always good. The other thing he always said to me was to blow your own trumpet or somebody will use it as a spittoon. The last time I cried was… watching A Monster Calls. We were duped into what was supposed to be a family show about a tree that came to life. We went with our children and it was about a boy whose mother died of cancer. It was harrowing. The ﬁrst record I ever bought was… Elton John’s Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. It’s not good for my image but I like… anything in puff pastry. If you can find a good bakery that makes you sausage rolls, pasties and pies, I would have three. I’d have all of them one after the other and be really happy. I’m not a man who goes to takeaway places, but for a sausage roll I will. I will even go for the ones that come from service stations in microwaves. My greatest weakness is… sausage rolls. If I could pass any law I would… say anyone who is vile on Twitter has their bicycle taken away. If you would not say something to somebody’s face, why would you say it on social media? I drive… a BMW X1. It’s pretty boring and standard. The bikes fit in the back, the kids can throw up and it’s all right – you can wash it out. The shop I can’t walk past is… a bakery. I’m not good with butchers either. I have got to go in and have a look around, and usually come out with something. The most expensive thing I’ve splashed out on is… I bought a watch once that was really expensive, but I sold it a few years later to pay for doing up a house. It only paid for the wallpaper, I think. The person I would like to play me in a ﬁlm is… That is the most ridiculous, self-indulgent question I have ever been

asked. Brad Pitt? If you’re going to do it, you might as well do it properly. Brad and I are about the same age, I think. It wouldn’t be Ryan Gosling, that’s for sure. The worst job I’ve ever done is… I used to do leaflet dropping for an estate agent during the school holidays. You would get a piece of paper and a map then you would have to mark the streets off. That was probably the most boring. I have done lots of things, though. I like to work a lot – it’s fun. My perfect Sunday is… usually outdoors as long as the sun is out, a pair of shorts, bare feet, something nice in the oven or on the barbie, bottle of chilled wine, somebody drops in unexpectedly. That’s quite nice. My favourite place in Britain is… I would probably say Cornwall because there are beaches, but the problem is it rains so much down there. My two elder children live there with their mum. But there are beaches and there is sunshine and you can actually swim in the sea. I love the sea, so I suppose that would be it. I grew up on the beach when I was a kid, so I just love it. I will go in the sea in most places. I have been in the sea on the Northumberland coast and in the sea in Cape Town, and that is colder than a cold thing on a cold day. I’m currently reading… I just finished Lie With Me by Sabine Durrant. It was really harrowing but a great read. The twist at the end is fascinating. The best day of my life was… the birth of my first child. That was pretty special. But I woke up this morning and I am still around, so that has got to be the best, doesn’t it? Tomorrow may be the best one. I am an optimist, but they always say optimists die young. Celebrity MasterChef is on BBC1 at 8pm on Wednesday and 8.30pm on Friday.

INTERVIEW

Doctor’s

She played four versions of Sherlock’s sister and now the talented Sian Brooke is joining the cast of hit drama Doctor Foster. Pam Francis meets her

ian Brooke looks as if butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth. Blonde hair and blue-eyed. A picture of innocence. And she is so nice when she arrives for our exclusive photo shoot that you can’t imagine her playing a character that would do anything to upset anyone. Ever. Yet it transpires that earlier this year, in the BBC drama Sherlock, the 37-year-old actress played the sleuth’s volatile sister Eurus Holmes, responsible for murdering his best friend and burning down the family home before being locked up and forcing Sherlock and Dr Watson to play a series of deadly games. What’s more, she was a mistress of disguise in a variety of wigs and make-up as four different characters before it was revealed she was one and the same person. “Viewers didn’t realise I was playing all four roles. We were hoping and praying we’d get away with it and we did,” says Sian. “It’s brilliant that I’ve been able to get away from being recognised for a long time now. I can still pop out on a Saturday without make-up to get the milk.” That might not be the case for much longer as the talented actress has just joined the cast of 2015’s highest-rated TV drama Doctor Foster, back after two years. It’s hard to forget TV’s most unsympathetic GP, played by a vengeful-looking Suranne Jones. A woman scorned and intent on revenge when it’s revealed that her husband Simon (Bertie Carvel) has been having a two-year affair with a woman half her age. Now it’s time to welcome Sian’s character, who is a newcomer to the practice. And if whispers are true, she is set to be a bit of a match for our Gemma. As we join the cast again in the second series, there are more secrets than ever lurking in Parminster, the fictional incestuous town where everyone knows your business. But unlike its residents who regularly swap gossip, it’s almost 22

impossible to get anyone who works on the drama to talk about the plot. What we can reveal is that the new doctor – also called Sian – is possibly not as angelic as she appears. “There’s definitely more to her and that is what drew me to the role. It’s the skill of Mike Bartlett’s writing that each character is never what they seem,” says Sian, a huge fan of the first series. “In real life we all have layers and complications which is what happens throughout the whole of Doctor Foster. “My husband bought me the boxset because I was working away when it was on, so I missed it. And we watched the entire thing in two nights. I loved it. “The writing is so strong. It doesn’t let go of things. It’s like a train that goes and goes and you keep thinking, ‘It’s got to slow down to stop at one of the stations,’ and it doesn’t.” When we rejoin the drama, Doctor Foster is back at the surgery and working hard to be a single mum to her son Tom. She then hears her ex-husband, his new wife Kate and their daughter are moving back from London into the town. Quite where the new doctor fits into all this, or doesn’t, we will have to wait and see. At the moment, Sian has to be fairly tightlipped about the background of her character. “With all of them, you can’t help but be drawn into their lives. It’s all about the dark side of relationships,” she says. “Sian knows more about Gemma’s personal life than you might expect. She is somebody who prides herself on her work and is a high achiever. She is also fun to play because she will say things to people – totally unaware she is treading on their toes. She is lacking that filter in her head, which is a great pairing with Gemma who is also confident and forthright. Therefore the rivalry between them develops.” The scene she can’t get out of her head, along with the other 10 million of us that watched the

finale, is the dinner party that ended in chaos when Gemma revealed her husband’s affair with Kate to the girl’s parents over the meal. “I love Gemma’s character. She’s not always likeable and she is flawed, yet we all root for her and are always cheering her on. She says and does things we sometimes wish we could do. “Having exes is something we can all identify with. We’ve all had that one person. But it’s all about the friendships and complications of having a job and standing in the town where even the patients know all about you. “It’s all about opening the front door to somebody’s house. It might seem that the but it’s cringing at times. You have to watch it through your fingers.” It is the first time the two actresses have worked together and Sian says that during filming they instantly hit it off. “Suranne works really hard but with it she brings a lot of fun. We had a shared sense of humour and there were quite a few scenes where we got the giggles.” As the new girl it must have been daunting to join an already established cast. “They welcomed me with open arms,” Sian says. “But when you’ve been a fan of the show you want to be able to keep the bar as high as it is, which comes with huge responsibility. But that feeling soon left me. “One day I turned up on set and they were all down the corridor ‘planking’ (a kind of push-up) to tone their stomachs. It was something they were doing for charity. I declined to join in at first. And after two days I was on the floor doing exactly the same thing.” Unlike filming Sherlock in Cardiff, working in Hertfordshire meant that Sian could get back to her two small sons, Archie, two, and Ben, four, and film director husband Bill Buckhurst in southwest London. When she can’t, she joins the children for breakfast via Facetime. “Wherever I am, I sit down with them while they’re having breakfast. So you have this bizarre family. It’s like being a ‘virtual mother,’” says Sian, who also appeared recently in The Moorside, the BBC drama about the fake kidnapping of Shannon Matthews. Once again, she was hard to spot because of her dowdy role. She played Natalie Brown, a neighbour of 23

INTERVIEW Shannon’s mother Karen. Yet although she looks glamorous for our shoot, she reveals that at home it’s back to trainers. “I’m a bit of a tomboy. Being the mother of two boys I could try harder, but I’d only end up with yoghurt down my front and chocolate in my hair. I’ve stopped trying now.” Born Sian Phillips, to avoid any confusion with the actress of the same name she changed her name to Sian Brooke after an English Civil War general who served in her home town of Lichfield. The youngest of three and daughter of a teacher and a policeman, Sian loved escaping into black-and-white Hollywood movies on TV and joined the local am-dram society, then the National Youth Theatre. Leaving for London and RADA when she was 18, Sian was in the same class as actors Laurence Fox and Tom Burke. And after joining the Royal Shakespeare Company to play Juliet, she met her husband of seven years who has just directed her in a feature film called Pond Life, which is out next year. “It was the first time we’d worked together and really enjoyed it. Hopefully he’ll cast me again if we don’t fall out,” says Sian, who plays a down-on-her-luck mum. It’s obvious from the way she talks about her husband, whom she describes as “one of the good ones”, and her boys that she is undoubtedly happy. “There’s always this guilt trip of trying to be a mum when you’re away working. But I’m also lucky to spend long periods of time with them when I’m not. They are my main priority. Every job choice I make, everything I do and think revolves around them,” she says. “My life at home is mayhem. My kids are beautifully bonkers. So boisterous and full of life. And I’m just normal like other parents trying to keep it all together, at the park with the boys and our dog Monty, a grumpy old Westie. I’m very lucky. I met Mr Right at 24, I have my lovely family and my work. It’s a time I treasure.”

Ever wondered what it’s like on the red planet? As schools return this week, Rachel Carlyle immerses herself in virtual reality learning 26

MODERN LIFE

y son went to Mars with his school last term. He also dropped in on the Great Barrier Reef and soon he’ll be going to watch turtles swim in the Galapagos Islands. Not bad for a 10 year old. Before you get alarmed that school trip budgets have got a bit out of control, these voyages were through a 3D virtual reality headset: the teacher guided them through rocks on the red planet, viewing mountains ahead and turning back 180 degrees so they could look at the tracks their lander had made on the red dust. Children gasped; some reached out to try to touch the “ground” at their feet. More than 500,000 children in UK classrooms have so far had this mind-blowing experience, organised by Google, whose Expeditions app now contains more than 500 virtual reality destinations, including outer space, lands of the dinosaurs, a Viking campfire and even a trip inside the human circulatory system. To date they have reached more than one million children in schools worldwide. VR is just one of a bewildering (to the average 45 year old anyway) array of technology being developed for our children’s classrooms. There’s also AR – augmented reality – where you point your phone or tablet at a special code or object and up pop 3D animations, podcasts or video clips. “You might get a worksheet on dinosaurs, which the child has filled in, then they use a tablet to activate the code and a 3D virtual T-rex might pop up, plus a video showing bones being unearthed by palaeontologists and maybe a teacher’s podcast,” says Sanjesh Sharma, former teacher and education technology (edtech) tutor at New Ways to Learn. “That’s one piece of paper, yet so many ways of learning. I’ve found children are far more likely to remember what they’ve learned this way because it’s so exciting, so immediate and it uses all their senses.” He’s been in this field for 15 years but even he was blown away by the latest product, which allows secondary schoolchildren using VR to walk around a Syrian town destroyed by war. “It’s an incredibly powerful experience – you can almost feel the sun on your face and the rubble under your feet. Five minutes of that and you are in a good position to have a debate about the impact of war in a history class.” Not all schools have access to this kind of tech yet but some are enthusiastic early adopters: several primary schools have a 4D room, which uses projected video footage on floor-to-ceiling screens, plus sound, lighting and an interactive floor (images move when you stand on them) to create an immersive space. Pupils are transported back to Roman Britain, Queen Victoria’s coronation or to the Arctic.

S MAGAZINE ★ 3 SEPTEMBER 2017

Teachers report dramatic improvements in pupils’ writing afterwards. Others are using specially adapted forms of games like Lego and Minecraft to teach traditional subjects. Lego’s new Education programme has primary schoolchildren building models with traditional bricks, then bringing them alive with computer coding, motors and sensors. And 20,000 schools worldwide have so far tried Minecraft Education, where children use the wildly popular brickbased computer game to build their own medieval villages, Roman temples or create rivers to find out what happens when sections are dammed. It was launched last November and there are now 200 lesson plans, with many more on the way this year in everything from graphs to physics and geography to art. Wait a minute. Computer games in lessons? Surely that’s more of a gimmick than proper learning? Deirdre Quarnstrom, head of Minecraft Education, disagrees. In the lesson where children build a medieval village, they need to research building materials, design protection and work out how much farmland they need. “You can see it fires up their enthusiasm and encourages great discussion and thinking deeply about what it was like living then,” she says.

She argues that not only are children learning maths/geography/history, they’re also picking up the so-called soft skills vital for modern workplaces – like project management skills, co-operative working, time management, creativity, critical thinking and resilience (they’ve discovered that because children are so motivated they keep trying when things go awry). Not everyone is convinced. Children might well be excited to play Minecraft or Lego in school but is it the mechanics of the game that’s exciting or medieval history? Tom Bennett, the Government’s behaviour adviser, thinks it’s often the former. “Just because they love it doesn’t mean they’re learning,” he points out. Professor Steve Higgins agrees and his research at Durham University backs this up. Examining 48 studies on edtech, he found there were small positive benefits but only when it was properly aligned with the curriculum. “Everyone always says children are motivated by technology, but motivated to do what? To learn about the Romans? I am a technology enthusiast, but we have to be clear that it’s better educationally, not just for enjoyment,” he says. “I like some of the VR history tours where you can see different layers of history on a site, which is probably more compelling than being dragged around somewhere in the rain on a school history trip. But I’ve yet to find a killer app or device that’s going to transform education.” So what will the classroom of the future look like? Professor Rose Luckin, at University College London’s Knowledge Lab, believes it will be less about the whizz-bang wows of VR or AR and more about Artificial Intelligence. Not robots replacing teachers, but sophisticated AI systems monitoring and assessing children continually so exams and tests will one day be redundant. You might have programmes not just logging their scores in a maths test, but how many tries they had at a tricky question or how long they persisted at a task. You could even have cameras in the ceiling monitoring how long they spend on something or who they’re working with. It sounds a bit Big Brother. “You do have to decide whether that’s acceptable,” she admits. Sanjesh Sharma sees the classroom of the future as a flexible, dynamic space that can be changed into a coastal town or a Roman fort at the flick of a switch. Classes will have their own VR headsets and the teacher will probably have a computer voice assistant, like Amazon Echo’s Alexa. It beats a soggy field trip to a Roman fort.

Happy feet Audiences have warmed to the return of comedy drama Cold Feet, and it’s made actress Fay Ripley hot property again, as Pam Francis reports

fifties we are not as confined by the rules in the way our mothers were, thank God,” says Fay, who at 51 is herself trying to look at the positive side of ageing. “Getting nearer to death is not ideal, if I am honest. But I don’t have a choice, darling. I am lumbered with my age. Although when I was younger, 51 was old, frankly, and I don’t feel that’s the case now. “My mother often says to me what she wouldn’t give to be 51 again. She is a very glamorous woman in her seventies who was a model and is much slimmer than me. But she says you have to enjoy your life now. You are not going to get it back again. She says we have to embrace the moment as much as we can. And she’s right. When I was 30 I was complaining I was never going to get a boyfriend, that I was fat and could see wrinkles coming. Now I’d love to have a 30-year-old face. “Mind you, would I still like to lose weight? Yes. But I have wanted to lose weight since I was 20, and I never do. I never even go on a diet, so it’s not surprising.” Fay believes that having a crisis at any age isn’t such a bad thing.

“A midlife crisis is saying something like, ‘I want to study at uni or do something different with my life.’ My mother-in-law has a milestone birthday coming up soon, and she is a great example of having a great attitude about life when you are older. “She was widowed two years ago

In her own life Fay has diversified and become a successful cookery writer with three best-selling books to her name. “In acting you don’t get much control over things, you have to do what you are told, and for a bossy boots like me, that’s difficult,” she confesses. “I wanted to do something that I loved and that I was in control of. So cooking was a no-brainer for me and I continue to get very excited about soufflés.” When she’s not doing either, Fay loves nothing more than going to the family seaside cottage at Whitstable in Kent with her mother, 14-year-old daughter Parker, 10-year-old son Sonny and her actor husband Daniel Lapaine, who played love interest Hugh in the last series of The Durrells. That’s when he is around. She jokes he is the actor in the family who gets all the exotic filming locations. “Dan has always gone off to the most amazing places to work and I’ve gone to Leeds, mainly. At the end of last year he spent a couple of months in Corfu filming The Durrells. He did get to come back, but it was really hard. “He tried to make it OK by trying to convince me that it was really

t might just be easier to give Fay Ripley free rein and let her write her own scripts for Cold Feet. Not that its ITV series creator Mike Bullen doesn’t come up with funny lines for the actress, but her own take on life is equally entertaining and an interview with her is a laugh a minute. But that’s hardly surprising when you learn that as a drama student she made ends meet as a children’s entertainer called Miss Chief and on her first mortgage application gave her occupation as a clown. When we meet in London to discuss the seventh series of the comedy drama, she is on fine form as she takes me through what the show has in store for her character Jenny as she comes to terms with middle age. “She is at that point in life where women have a choice. You either give up and accept everything you have and say is this it? Or, now that the kids are older, you do the opposite and open up. You think, ‘I have more freedom. I could do a whole bunch of stuff.’ “In Jenny’s case, as she is showing her son Adam round universities, she starts thinking, ‘Wait a minute, maybe I’m the one who should be thinking of going to college.’ “In our late forties and early

INTERVIEW tough. And I’d say, ‘But I can hear waves lapping in the background, darling.’ And he’d say, ‘No it’s so lonely without you. A sunset is not a sunset if you are not here watching it with me.’ He was trying to get me to feel sorry for him. “And I went, ‘Can you just turn the camera on your phone round and let me have a look.’ So he did. And it was grilled octopus on the table, the sun setting and the perfect sea. So I went, ‘Right, forget this. I am here doing the school run and Barry is eating nappies,’” she says, referring to the family dog who

has taken to eating disgusting items, which causes Fay great embarrassment when she is walking him on Hampstead Heath. When her husband eventually returned he was still sporting the moustache he grew for his role. “I didn’t like the moustache much,” she admits. “It was fine though. It gave me an excuse to use him as a waiter because he looked like one – so I’d tell him to lay the table.” Unlike Jenny’s up and down relationship with Pete in Cold Feet, there is no doubt Fay is still head over heels about the Australian actor to whom she has been married for 16 years. “I could not be more in love with my husband. We both knew very quickly that we wanted to be together forever,” says the actress, who is good friends with her screen husband Pete, played by John Thomson. S MAGAZINE ★ 3 SEPTEMBER 2017

“It’s great to watch something about love, friendship and optimism”

“I’ve always described John as a brother in real life because I feel I know him very well. We have both been through all sorts of ups and downs in our lives. Anyone who can make me laugh like him, I get them to stick with me on the journey.” Coincidentally, John happened to be with Fay in New York on her first date with Daniel on a skating rink in Central Park. “By chance John was on holiday nearby and I said, ‘I’m going to meet this lovely guy,’” she recalls. “Come along – and he did. It was like a movie moment.” Since filming the last series of Cold Feet the cast has kept in touch. “I’m particularly close to Hermione (Norris, who plays Karen). We have children of a similar age and she has been a fantastic friend to me. We want more storylines together,” Fay says. If she could have her way, she would be happy for Cold Feet to continue. In this series we’ll see Adam, played by James Nesbitt, loved-up with landlady Tina (Leanne Best), Karen (Hermione Norris) realising there’s a high price to pay for trying to have it all with her fledgling publishing house and teenage twins and Robert Bathurst’s David fretting about his lacklustre love life and wondering where he should look. Meanwhile, Pete and Jenny have decisions to make. “I would love to carry on playing Jen,” Fay confesses. “There is loads more to discover about these characters and I do think it’s a relief for viewers to watch something that hasn’t got a dead body in it. “There are some amazing shows out there but in this one there isn’t an autopsy in sight. It’s great to have something to look forward to watching that’s about friendship, love and people who have optimism in their lives. It’s so heartwarming.” Fay may be tight-lipped about Jenny and Pete’s midlife problems, but has she ever had any? “I haven’t had a midlife crisis yet. I’m thinking today might just be the day. It’s going to be amazing. I’m glad you’re here for it.” Cold Feet is on Friday at 9pm on ITV. 31

For a heady mix of culture, arts and nightlife, head to Tel Aviv – the epitome of cool

he sun is beating down, and there are drag queens, pink feathers and shiny fabrics as far as you can see. Yes, it’s gay pride. But look a little closer: an orthodox Jewish man wearing a yarmulke strolls past the scene of colourful flamboyance apparently unconcerned. In the distance the tower of a mosque glimmers and the familiar LGBT rainbow flag has a Star of David in the middle. Welcome to Tel Aviv. If there is another example of the cosmopolitan nature of this city, it would be hard to find. The annual pride celebration – the largest in Asia, this year attracting some 200,000 people – is an example of the general tolerance and acceptance that prevails. For a more mainstream sense of this, head to the Jaffa area, originally home to the Arab population but now a melting pot where Jews and Arabs happily rub along and mingle in bars and restaurants, sampling each other’s cuisines. There, a mosque, synagogue and Christian church sit side by side, and nearby there is a great view up the coastline where skyscraper hotels line the seemingly endless sandy beach and promenade. So it’s perhaps no surprise with such liberalism – not always associated with Israel as a whole – that Tel Aviv has a young, forward-looking vibe and lively social and arts scene. Tellingly, it’s also a burgeoning hub for start-up businesses. At only 69 years old, Israel is the original start-up nation. This is a party town. On the big night of Thursday (Friday night, the start of Sabbath, is quieter), head up the heaving Rothschild Boulevard for bars aplenty. Just off there, Kuli Alma offers a combination of larky service (you might get the drink you want, but then again...), cool music, a bit of art and some interesting chat-up lines from typically direct Israelis. A hipster vibe is apparent though, of course, men with long beards have been around these parts for some time. The food and drink scene is booming, too. At packed Romano, in an unpromising-looking shopping arcade, the decor is rustic to say the least, the service laid-back and the cuisine offbeat, such as chef Eyal Shani’s signature caramelised whole cauliflower – served in a paper bag. On no account miss The Blue Rooster, where celebrity chef Shaul Ben-Aderet’s cuisine is a fusion of taste bud-zinging flavours and freshness (and I write as someone who frequently salivates to the ping of a microwave).

Viva Tel Aviv Clockwise, from top: Vibrant Jaffa Port; the sandy beach strip; Tel Aviv’s colourful Gay Pride parade attracted 200,000 people Even Israeli wine is much improved and superior to expectations – Noah, of Ark fame, was a vine grower and the earliest recorded drunk, one local expert joked. Other places to explore include the “White City” of homes designed by the Bauhaus movement between 1930 and 1948, as Jews escaped the Nazi regime. Take a walking tour of the UNESCO World Heritage Site and observe the many balconies that allowed residents to meet outside after years of hiding indoors, fearing for their lives, as they had in Germany. Try also the trendy area of Neve Tzedek, where an influx of French Jews has given the shops a touch of chic. And be sure to visit Carmel Market, a ramshackle maze of stalls with its own

Speakers’ Corner where people debate topics of the day and a tiny restaurant that looks like a synagogue serves only hummus (you’ll probably eat your own weight in the stuff during your stay). “Next year in Jerusalem,” say Jews abroad at Passover and Yom Kippur.

Are you a fan of vintage? Definitely. I recently had a suitcase of vintage dresses stolen during the house move so I’m rebuilding my collection. How many shoes and handbags do you own? I’ve 25 pairs of shoes but less than five handbags. Re shoes, they have to be styles I can run in, although I do wear super-high heels for evening. I also have some nice vintage pairs. Do you have a fashion weakness? Coats. Because I dress functionally most of the time, a gorgeous coat thrown over it all smartens me up. What is the best piece of fashion advice you have ever been given? Dress as yourself. What is your favourite outﬁt? A pair of black velvet Topshop dungarees with a T-shirt. How much do you spend on clothes each month? From nothing to £200. What is the most expensive item in your wardrobe? And best bargain? The most expensive is a Christopher Kane black velvet jacket, which was a gift from my godmother Nicky Shulman. I’m very lucky, she is so generous I call her my fairy godmother. She’s also given me the most amazing Marc Jacobs dress. My best bargain is a white off-theshoulder Grecian-style dress I bought years ago in a market in Provence. It cost me 10 euros. What is the oldest item in your wardrobe? An Edwardian dress with lace-embroidered sleeves and hem and self-covered buttons. I bought it for an audition. It’s very beautiful but very fragile. Who would you like to make your wedding dress? I already have it. My linen “best bargain” dress I bought in Provence would be perfect. Have you a favourite LBD? A jersey bodycon from Urban Outfitters you can dress up or down. What is the one item of clothing you couldn’t live without? Years ago, my mum Cressida went to see The Smiths on tour and bought the T-shirt. My sister and I squabbled over who would get it when she had a clear out and I won. Have you ever made a fashion faux pas? Yes, on a daily basis because my wardrobe is such a mishmash of styles. I was a total chav as a teenager and I have a lot of feminine, grungy and rock chick stuff from my phase of trying to look like Kate Moss going out with Pete Doherty. What is your favourite piece of jewellery? My boyfriend Will gave me a silver necklace with an aquamarine stone for my 23rd birthday, shortly after he signed his first record deal. He was a penniless musician when I met him but splashed out on me with his first windfall. I don’t wear a lot of jewellery, but I wear this all the time. What is the most crushing remark anyone has made about your clothes? In LA someone said I looked like a homeless person. I was wearing cut-off shorts, a baggy, raggy T-shirt and flip-flops. They didn’t really get my style there. Victoria is on ITV tonight, 9pm.

Sunny outlook

Keep the holiday mood well into autumn with our feel-good lifestyle tips, says Michele O’Connor Britons are Europe’s most avid readers. One in five of us read between three and four books over the summer and 12 per cent read more than four books, according to a survey by Opodo travel blog. Even those who claim they never have time to read are likely to pick up a book on holiday, says BookTrust, the UK’s largest reading charity. The study found people who read books regularly are on average happier and more satisfied with life. Tip: The following books score highly in lists of best holiday reads – The Beach by Alex Garland (£8.99); A Room With A View by EM Forster (£8.99); Chocolat by Joanne Harris (£7.99); Cider With Rosie by Laurie Lee (£8.99).

Food for thought With seven out of 10 people using food to boost their mood, according to BUPA-led research, it’s no surprise our favourite holiday dishes offer the perfect menu for beating the blues once we return home. Tip: Check out recipes online to recreate classic dishes such as moussaka, paella or burritos.

The great outdoors One feel-good element of a holiday is being outdoors where you get a hit of vitamin-D and moodboosting sunlight. Janey Holliday, of outdoor workout company Fit for a Princess, says, “Training on an 36

uneven surface means you have to use your balancing and core strength throughout your workout. You’ll work harder against natural resistance from the wind, too.” Tip: Don’t just spend time outside, be active as well.

Head for the beach Going to the coast is a great way to banish post-holiday blues, according to research for the National Trust. The study found that long walks along the beach promote happy memories and extra sleep. About 80 per cent of those polled reported increased feelings of calm and happiness. Tip: Check out coastal walks at nationaltrust.org.uk.

to dominate your evenings. Get out in the garden, play board games with the kids, take up a sport or join a club. Psychological studies show those with an active social life and a sense of community are happiest. Tip: Make a conscious effort not to slip back into the old routine. Decide what to watch and turn off the box when it’s finished.

Stick to good resolutions There’s nothing like a week on the Algarve or in the Canaries to get a perspective on what’s important. Co-author of ReWork: Change The Way You Work Forever (£12.99) David Heinemeier Hansson says, “Workaholics aren’t heroes. They don’t save the day, they just use it up. If all you do is work, you’re unlikely to make sound judgments.” Tip: Leave work on time.

Smell the roses

A great aspect of a holiday is that rules tend to go out of the window and you indulge in that decadent dessert or treat yourself to a trinket. Tip: Keep up that holiday feeling with pedicures and de-fuzzing.

Our sense of smell taps into our brain’s memory centre, so a familiar holiday fragrance will transport you back. According to a survey by OnePoll, 82 per cent of us believe holiday-related smells are a perfect pick-me-up for post-trip blues. Tip: Apply Palmer’s Coconut Body Oil (£7.35, Superdrug) or light one of Yankee Candle’s Viva Havana range (£23.99, yankee candle.co.uk).

HEALTH

Drag workmates to the park or riverbank and enjoy lunch alfresco. Or, weather permitting, get out the barbecue or simply eat your evening meal outside rather than at the dining table. Food always seems to taste better outdoors. Tip: Think French baguettes, creamy Camembert or antipasti with beef tomatoes and olives.

(chrisjamesmindbody.com) says, “Our annual vacation is a chance to switch off from work and the daily bombardment of texts, emails and social media. Turn off your smartphone, even if for just 10 minutes. New notifications trigger the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that drives us to seek rewards, so you keep coming back for more. This vicious cycle is taking a toll on our wellbeing and relationships. Surveys have reported an association between technology and depression, anxiety and decreased marital satisfaction.” Tip: Check your emails only two or three times a day, rather than the instant they arrive on your device.

Try wild swimming

Summer of love

Obviously there are safety issues involved (never swim alone) but we guarantee you’ll feel like a child again. Studies show swimming in a lake or river is better for your health than in the local pool. “Open water offers a personal sense of adventure and fitness challenge both physically and psychologically,” says Nikki Fletcher, open water, triathlon, Team Aqua Sphere and ASA performance coach. Tip: Visit river-swimming.co.uk and The National Open Water Coaching Association at nowca. org for safety advice.

We have more sex in August than in any other month, although it’s closely followed by July and June, according to a recent poll by lovehoney.co.uk. That is probably because on holiday we are more relaxed and have more opportunities for romance. Regular sex not only enhances your relationship, but boosts your health, immunity and your mood. Tip: Inject spontaneity into your love life.

your morning cuppa and toast (or hot chocolate and croissant) on the patio or near a sunny window and imagine yourself in the Med. Tip: Buy a dawn simulator alarm clock which gradually fills the room with light or one that wakes you with natural sounds.

Life’s a picnic

No place like home Whether it’s Leeds or London, think like a tourist and see the sights. You’ll see your town through fresh eyes and have a great day out. Tip: Check out TripAdvisor for the top 10 things to do in your town.

Say it with colour Wear colourful clothing, says Alex Sass of online personal happiness tracking tool postmood.com. “That Hawaiian-print shirt might be frowned upon in the workplace, but there’s no need to revert straight back to dreary, depressing browns, blacks and greys.” Tip: Try injecting a little colour into your life with a red scarf or paint your fingernails crimson.

Take a digital detox Yoga teacher Chris James

Friends reunited Whether it’s playing ball in the pool, cricket on the beach or football in the park, holidays are about fun with family and friends. Facebook just isn’t the same, say Oxford researchers, who found friends should be seen more as a “village” of casual acquaintances rather than a close network of allies. “There is something paramount about face-to-face interactions that are crucial for maintaining friendships,” says psychologist, Professor Robin Dunbar. Shares, selfies and “likes” are no replacement for the bonding that takes place while sharing food, experiences and anecdotes. Tip: Make the effort to arrange proper dates with friends and family and don’t cancel – no matter how busy you may be.

She insists I tell her about my murky past My girlfriend is demanding to know all about my past. She says we can’t continue as a couple unless I tell all about my previous relationships, jobs and brushes with the law. A few weeks ago we were at a party when a very old friend of mine turned up and shrieked, “There he is, the old reprobate.” He was very drunk and started telling my girlfriend various “hilarious’”stories about our misspent youth. I literally had to drag her away. Back home, I caught her going through my old bank statements and paperwork. She asked me about drug use, drinking and antisocial behaviour. I tried to make light of the fact, saying I was something of a scallywag

back then, but she refused to let me off the hook. She now says she needs to know everything about me and wants the names of former girlfriends, business associates, employers and mates. She’s made it very clear there are to be no more surprises. As I work for her father’s company she says she can’t risk scandal, humiliation or disgrace. If we’ve any chance of making it, then I am to spill the beans. I’m deeply ashamed of many of the things I’ve done in my life, from blowing cash in casinos and ripping off mates to upsetting my parents – who no longer talk to me.

Sex matters My colleague and I have been having an affair for nine months and I thought it was heading somewhere. However, he’s just admitted he still has sex with his wife to keep the peace at home. I saw her recently and couldn’t believe how different to me she is. She is really dowdy – how he can fancy us both when we’re so unalike. Do I not mean anything to him? Surely you must accept that your colleague is behaving very badly.

He is cheating on his wife and misleading you. I suspect he’s thoroughly enjoying the best of both worlds while being grossly selfish and unfair. If his marriage is ongoing, and he’s still having sex with his wife, what is your role? It doesn’t matter what his wife looks like. Stop wasting your time. Be proactive and find someone of your own. I don’t understand why you’re indulging this individual in the first place – and I don’t believe your bosses can approve.

me wrong, I had some absolutely brilliant times before I hit rock bottom (with the drink) and reinvented myself. But I can’t see my very proper girlfriend being too impressed to hear I used to be a player. Do I really have to tell her everything in order for our relationship to thrive? Your girlfriend sounds a very bright woman. She’s already done some digging and has found out about your old debts and wild partying. I can’t imagine that it would take too much of an effort on her part to dig a little deeper and discover more. The reality is that it’s a small world and nasty secrets have a habit of coming out. She’s asked you to come clean with her. Can you really risk giving her the edited highlights of your misspent youth? What if you and she now bump into another old friend, or even someone with a grudge against you, and he or she speaks up out of spite? You just don’t know how you are viewed or what others actually think about you. The bottom line is you can’t play games. If your girl has asked for a fresh start you’ve got to give it her. She’s not going to like some of the more gory details, but it’s better that she hears everything from you, right now, so that she can inwardly digest and make a decision about a future with – or without – you. I get the impression she rather likes you otherwise she would have

Jamie Goode Our expert raises the stakes with meaty yet stylish Argentine malbec

rgentina is as famous for its beef as it is for its red wines. And there’s nothing quite like a huge, fat Argentine steak accompanied by a glass of red. The country is particularly well known for its malbec, a grape variety that was imported from France in the 19th century. While malbec, once a famous grape in Bordeaux, is of lesser importance in France these days, it has become a celebrity in its adopted home. And when you taste some of these wines, you’ll see why. They’re rich and fruity and fabulous with food.

Matias Riccitelli Hey Malbec 2016, Mendoza £12, Majestic, 14.5% alcohol With an attractive freshness to the black cherry and blackberry fruits, this has a nice savoury tannic grip keeping things honest and wonderfully floral aromatics, together with just a hint of tar and spice. It has a seductive side, but this doesn’t take over. Berry Bros & Rudd Argentinian Malbec by Pulenta 2016, Mendoza £12.50, bbr.com (0800 280 2440), 14.5% alcohol Argentine malbec doesn’t have to

be big and hefty: this is a deliciously elegant, aromatic red with leafy cherry and plum fruit, and it’s very drinkable. Dot Malbec 2016, Mendoza £6.98, Asda, 13.5% alcohol Juicy, bright, vivid and berryish, this fruit-driven Argentine malbec shows off a combination of raspberry, cherry and blackcurrant fruit to excellent effect. DV Catena Malbec 2014, Mendoza £12, Sainsbury’s, 14% alcohol From four vineyards at different

altitudes, ranging from 920 to 1,450 metres, this is a beautifully balanced malbec with sweet cherries and plums as well as a bit of spiciness. Vaglio Malbec Vista Flores 2016, Mendoza £12, Marks & Spencer, 13.5% alcohol From high up in the Uco Valley, this is very fresh and lively with floral black fruits and a gravelly chalky structure. It’s stylish, combining sleek fruit with some savoury structure. Tesco Finest Argentina Malbec 2016, Mendoza £7.50, Tesco, 13% alcohol This is bursting with sweet berry fruits and some floral black cherries, complemented by a savoury clove and cedar spiciness, as well as some tarry hints. It’s fruity but has a savoury twist, making it food friendly. The Society’s Exhibition Malbec 2015, Mendoza £10.50, thewinesociety.com (01438 741177), 13.5% alcohol Blending malbec from vineyards at 900 to 1,450 metres, this is made for The Wine Society by leading producer Catena. It’s well balanced with floral blackberry and black cherry fruit, as well as a bit of savoury grip. It’s sleek, structured and sophisticated.

Med in

HEAVEN

Meyer lemons are hardy enough to grow in pots

Conjure up a magical Mediterranean look with terracotta pots and olive trees, says Alan

terracotta floor tiles and gravel instead of lawns and soil, but it’s worth it. Hard surfaces stand up to heat and drought far better in dry summers and they reflect heat and light. This makes conditions even more Mediterranean, while in wet winters they remain clean and easy to walk on when lawns turn boggy. Be sure to include a generous outdoor dining area and invest in a good-quality table and seats that can be left outside all year round. Make it big enough to seat the whole family and herds of friends, for the full-strength Med experience. Water is a very typical garden feature but don’t have a pond that needs too much topping up in a climate prone to summer water shortages. Lead cisterns or large terracotta water storage jars are much more Mediterranean, so use those or synthetic lookalikes. You might have a wall fountain on a patio with water running slowly from a lion’s mouth into a lead tank holding a few water plants, or maybe a terracotta jug slowly overflowing into a bed of pebbles from where it’s recycled via a pump hidden in a small underground reservoir. Since shade is a vital feature, you’ll want a pergola leaning up against the back wall of the house

supporting a large grapevine, or a large, old fruit tree acting as sunshade over your seating area. Your real Mediterraneans would most likely choose an olive – I’ve had three in tubs outside in Hampshire for years now and they’re all fine. Otherwise, play safe with a quince, which grows naturally into a delightful shape and doesn’t need pruning. Then prepare the soil for the beds. If the ground isn’t naturally well drained, spread several inches of gravel all over, then work it in. On heavy clay soil I’d add about a bucketful of sharp horticultural sand per square yard. And after planting your patch with suitable species, if

you want a mulch instead of compost or bark, use a layer of gravel or pebbles to suppress weeds. In a hot summer, moisture condenses underneath stones and you’ll sometimes find plant roots curled around them for this reason. Conversely, in a wet winter, pebbles and gravel mean downpours soak in far faster than on concreted areas so reducing the risk of flash flooding. To complete the look you’ll need a few fair-sized containers. Large terracotta pots, urns and troughs are classic Med favourites since, being porous, the constant evaporation helps to keep plant roots cool when they’re standing in full-strength sun.

ccording to doctors, all things Mediterranean do you a power of good. Whether it’s relaxing beach holidays – all sun, swimming and siestas – or the diet of fresh fruit, fish, tomatoes, salads and lashings of olive oil and red wine, it’s such a positive way of life. But why leave all that do-gooding to your holidays when you can experience the same benefits at home in your very own Mediterranean garden? I know you can’t rely on having the climate here but if you get the garden right, it’s possible to enjoy much of the laid-back Mediterranean lifestyle. The whole point of a Mediterranean garden is that it’s all pleasure with no hard work. It is stylish, low-maintenance – and intended for long, leisurely lunches, snoozing or just lounging around with a good book, with no double digging or mowing the lawn. Do the groundwork this autumn, then next May add frost-tender flowers that make the finishing touches and you’re ready to slip into Med mode. You need a warm, sheltered, sunny spot with well-drained soil, so it’s an ideal style for a patio, a tiny town garden, a courtyard or a seating area outside your summerhouse. The big outlay is on hard landscaping; the Mediterranean look relies on a lot of paving,

Olives can do well in the UK with some TLC

Lavender is fragrant on the patio in pots

Terracotta bowls are key to a Mediterranean garden

Mad about the Med? Top plants to recreate that Mediterranean feel... O Fig trees – plant a fan-trained fig of a reliable outdoor variety such as Brunswick or Brown Turkey against a warm, south-facing wall and prune to shape every January when fully dormant and you should get good crops. O Citrus trees – grow the hardiest kinds such as kumquats, Meyer lemons and Seville oranges in pots. Stand them on the patio in summer but keep them in a bright room or frost-free conservatory for winter. O Olive trees – keep in pots while they’re young and bring in each winter; big plants are hardier. O Conservatory plants – Bougainvillea, oleander and jacaranda are best grown in tubs and brought outside every summer, from early June to late September, then kept in a frost-free conservatory for winter. O Pelargoniums – grow zonal types in pots in summer. They’re good for full sun and quite drought tolerant. O South African daisies – Osteospermum, gazania, lampranthus or mesembryanthemum have a very South of France air. In containers, they thrive outside during a hot, dry summer. O Agaves and aloes – have striking foliage and architectural shapes. For pots, they need frost-free conditions in winter. Evergreen herbs, especially rosemary, sage, thyme, bay and lavender, create authentic ambience in hot sunny spots. O Sun-loving shrubs – Acacia dealbata, olearia, yucca, Chusan palm (Trachycarpus fortunei) or dwarf fan palm (Chamaerops humilis) make a good year-round screen, specimen plants or large container specimens (use bottomless pots so they can root through, which means less watering).

BOOKS

Hot off the press All the latest riveting fiction reviewed by Eithne Farry Home Fire by Kamila Shamsie (Bloomsbury Circus, £16.99) Kamila Shamsie’s heartrending seventh novel pits the political against the personal as a family’s love and loyalty are tested to the core. Smart, funny Isma is finally heading to America to study, having brought up her twin siblings, headstrong Aneeka and troubled Parvaiz, after their mother died. But when Parvaiz follows in the footsteps of his jihadist father, the family are thrown into fresh turmoil. Shamsie brilliantly captures the desperation of the family and their efforts to bring Parvaiz home to London in a devastatingly good novel.

The Choice ***** by Edith Eger (Rider, £14.99) If Dr Edith Eger could distil the story of her life into one moment “it is this: three women in dark wool coats, arms linked in a barren yard”. The exhausted women are herself, her sister and her mother and the yard is outside Auschwitz. Her mother will soon be dead and the siblings will be “an anatomy lesson. Elbows, knees, ankles, cheeks, knuckles, ribs jut out like questions. What are we now?… We are trauma in motion.” She was near death when an American soldier plucked her from a pile of bodies. She then had to work out how to live a life, after all that she had seen, all that she had suffered. She married, moved to America, had children but she was still haunted. “A sudden sight, a particular smell, can transport me back to the past.” With indomitable spirit, she trained as a psychologist and was determined to help others come to terms with the trauma and pain in their lives. This inspirational book movingly describes the story of her survival, her healing process and “the stories of the precious people I’ve had the privilege of guiding to freedom”. It is a reflection of her philosophy, which explores the way we can think about the events that befall us: “We cannot choose to have a life free of hurt. But we can choose to be free, to escape the past, no matter what befalls us, and to embrace the possible.” Eithne Farry S MAGAZINE ★ 3 SEPTEMBER 2017

The Burning Girl by Claire Messud (Fleet, £16.99) Julia and Cassie have been best friends since nursery school but, in the way of teenagers, the friendship has floundered. Troubled Cassie, who has a fraught relationship with her mother, has started hanging out with the cool, mean kids while Julie, daughter of a feminist, is heading for college. Narrated by Julia, this fierce, melancholy book lays bare the girls’ shared desire to escape their small-town American home for something bigger and brighter, and explores why it went badly awry. Johannesburg by Fiona Melrose (Corsair, £16.99) Fiona Melrose’s elegant second novel is set in Johannesburg and takes place over the course of a single day: December 6, 2013, the date of Nelson

Mandela’s death. Melrose beautifully describes the South African city’s streets and the longing in the hearts of the characters who travel them. They include Gin, a brittle, anxious artist throwing a party for her fierce, demanding mother, 80-year-old Neve, and September, a homeless man fighting for justice and recognition. A mesmerising homage to Virginia Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway. American War by Omar El Akkad (Picador, £14.99) Omar El Akkad’s dystopian debut is set in an America ravaged by climate change, chemical warfare and north/ south hostilities that see ordinary people caught up in the crossfire. Twelve-year-old Sarat comes of age in a refugee camp, where the corrosive nature of conflict and the machinations of a mysterious war veteran transform her from a caring, curious girl to a remorseless freedom fighter for whom “revenge, the unsettled score” becomes the most important thing. Unsettling and horribly believable. Smile by Roddy Doyle (Jonathan Cape, £14.99) Victor’s life has gone off the rails. He has separated from his wife, his writing career has stalled and he returns to the working-class streets of Dublin that he roamed as a child. In a pub, he meets the menacing Eddie who insists he knows Victor, even though he has no recollection of him. Smile is brisk-paced and funny with the chatty storytelling that is a hallmark of Doyle’s writing. But here the familiar heads into dark and unexpected territory as the secrets of Victor’s troubled psyche are revealed.

FICTION

The Wicked Stepmother Gardener Gloria was rude and prickly, but would the arrival of a baby melt her heart? Short story by Jane Corry

en minutes to visiting time. I wouldn’t exactly say Gloria is a wicked stepmother. But that’s because I’m 36. Far too old for her to boss me around. At least, that’s what I thought when my widowed father announced he was marrying his gardener. Funny. I always considered gardeners to be loving, kindly souls. Not like this tall, thin, angular woman with a withering expression and a prickly manner. Yet my father is besotted, despite the fact that she’s only 10 years older than me. “Perhaps he’s lonely,” suggested Nick, my husband. “Perhaps she’s after his garden,” I retorted. Dad’s house isn’t particularly special but the land is spectacular. It goes all the way down to the sea with the most beautiful roses you have ever seen. Every birthday and Christmas, Dad and I would give Mum another for her collection. It was all she wanted, apart from us. “I think you’re being rather unfair, Vicky.” “She dislikes me. You said so yourself.” It was true. When we’d first met, she talked to me for about two minutes and then took herself off to the garden, even though it was raining. “She’s a bit shy,” my father explained. Rude, more like. Five minutes to visiting time. The wedding was a small affair. Many of my father’s friends had passed on by now. (I had been a much-wanted “surprise” child, born when my parents had given up hope.) Gloria had no friends at the wedding. “Don’t you think that’s odd?” I’d hissed to Nick. He’d shrugged. But I could tell he had doubts too, now Gloria was giving him the cold shoulder. “Wipe your feet,” she’d say without a “please”. My mother’s photograph had been relegated from the mantelpiece to a far-off bookshelf. The comfortable old sofa where Mum had spent her last days had gone. In its place was a cream leather, L-shaped design. Not Dad’s style. Yet he seemed to like it. “Contemporary. Yes?” Clearly she’d brainwashed him. Then she began to limit my visits. “Not this week,” she’d say crisply. “Your father’s tired.” S MAGAZINE ★ 3 SEPTEMBER 2017

How dare she! Bet Dad didn’t know. So I turned up unexpectedly, only to find she wouldn’t answer the door even though I could see her hovering behind the curtains. “There are times,” I told my husband, “when I could kill her.” “You don’t mean that.” And then it happened. Visiting time. Nick should be here for moral support. Dad, too. But neither has turned up. I look around at the other women in their green-checked uniforms. They’ve all got their families around them. I want my mum. And then I see her. Gloria. But she doesn’t have her usual cold confident air. She looks scared. “Your father’s parking the car,” she says, taking a seat next to me. “Actually, he thought we needed time on our own. There’s something I need to tell you.” I knew she was hiding something. “You see,” she continues, not looking at me, “when I was a bit younger than you, I was in the same position. Well, almost.” “I don’t understand.” “Ectopic pregnancy.” She whispers the words. “I nearly died. Afterwards, I wished I had. The doctors told me I’d never be able to have any more.” As if on cue, Bethany wakes up. She is

mewing like a kitten and I pick her up from the plastic bassinet by my bed and hold her to me, breathing in her smell. Gloria’s eyes are fixed on us. But instead of jealousy, I see raw pain. “When your father introduced us, he told me you’d just found out you were pregnant.” Her voice is shaky. Where is the rude woman I knew before? “I’m sorry. I know it was wrong of me. But you were exactly at the stage I was when I had to have a termination to save my life.” My mind goes back to something Mum had told me when another girl had been horrid to me at school. “Bullies often have their reasons. If we find out what those are, we can understand them and maybe reach a compromise.” I’d thought Gloria was jealous of Dad’s past. But she was actually jealous of my pregnancy. She’s fighting back the tears now. “My marriage ended with the strain and I couldn’t bear keeping up with my friends because they were all having babies.” So that’s why she didn’t have anyone at the wedding. I don’t want to believe her, but hadn’t I felt jealous of other mums when I’d had all those miscarriages before Bethany? “Instead,” she says tersely, “I turned to gardening. Plants grow. If they don’t thrive, you have another go.” Bethany is sucking fiercely now. “But now what?” I demand. “Are you going to stop Dad seeing his granddaughter?” “No. We’ve done a lot of talking, your father and me. I do love him, you know.” She puts a finger on my daughter’s little arm. I move her away. “I’d never hurt her,” she says quickly. “Now she’s here, it’s different.” “There were times when I wanted to kill you,” I blurt out. “Really?” She looks shocked. “Nick thought I was hormonal.” She smiles wistfully. “I remember that stage.” A nurse appears. “You’re needed for a test, dear. Maybe your friend could stay with baby.” There seems no option. I dash back as soon as I can (despite 10 stitches) and that’s when I hear. “You’re beautiful. Careful – it’s sharp!” No! I whip apart the curtains. Gloria has brought a pot rose out of her bag. It has creamy petals and a scent I’d recognise anywhere. My mother’s favourite. “Peace,” we say in unison. “But I don’t know how to plant it. I’m a terrible gardener.” “I could help.” She glances at Bethany. “May I pick her up?” I nod. Suddenly it feels the right thing to do. Jane Corry’s novel Blood Sisters (Penguin, £7.99) is out now. See Express Bookshop on page 81. 57

INTERVIEW “HERE I am with the love of my life, my daughter Melanie Griffith. I’d heard there’s no love deeper than that between a mother and her child, but I had no idea what it meant until she was laid across my chest moments after her birth. Melanie, who was born in 1957, was the product of my first marriage to advertising executive Peter Griffith. The relationship didn’t work out, but if we hadn’t got together there would have been no Melanie. She was an extraordinarily pretty child. She was also loving, affectionate, sensitive and my favourite sidekick. By the time she was a teenager she was as tall as I was, with long, slender legs and an air of total self assurance. She’s had a mind of her own, which made her a lot of fun and impossibly defiant, depending on the situation. She also became more unpredictable – my childlike baby girl one day and a sullen, combative, secretive stranger the next. I wondered constantly if I’d made a mistake by allowing her to be so independent. I never encouraged Melanie to act, but she was just 14 when she was an extra in the film The Harrad Experiment, about a fictional school where students were taught sexuality and encouraged to experiment with their fellow students. It was a commentary on the sexual revolution of the 1960s

and I played one half of the married couple who ran the school. Don Johnson was cast as one of our more, let’s say, experimental students. What I didn’t realise was that this wasn’t just the case for the camera. He and Melanie were very discreet, so when she announced they’d fallen in love, you could have knocked me over with a feather. Don was eight years older than Melanie. He’d already been through two brief marriages and he terrified me. He was handsome, his acting career was taking off and he was as wild as a deer. There wasn’t a trace of naivety in him and nothing that led me to believe he’d give a damn about my objections. I also knew my wilful, headstrong daughter. If I’d tried to forbid her from seeing him, it would have only intensified her feelings for him and alienated her from me. As horrified as I was, I had no idea what to do when she moved in with him at the age of 15. As far as Melanie was concerned, she was free, living with the man she adored, finishing Hollywood Professional School a year early, getting acting jobs and having a great time. I still remember answering the phone in January 1976 to hear my giddy 18 year old yell, ‘Mom, we’re in Las Vegas and we’ve just got married!’ She was so excited and I was heartsick. My precious only child had had her wedding without me and she was headed for a world of hurt, I knew it. The marriage was annulled after only a few months. Thankfully, we were never estranged. There was distance

between us for a while, but we got through it and we’ve been close ever since, probably more like best friends than mother and daughter. Don, to his credit, apologised many years later for hurting me. I used to wish he and Melanie had never met, but I don’t wish that any more. Without the journey they took together, there would have been no Dakota Johnson, the daughter they conceived in 1989 when they were

reconciled for a few years. I can’t imagine life without her and it meant the world to be at her birth. It’s impossible that I could love Melanie more. That I could have loved her better will occasionally keep me awake at night for the rest of my life.” Tippi: A Memoir by Tippi Hedren is available now (£20, William Morrow). See Express Bookshop on page 81.

Programme of the week Safe House Thursday, 9pm, ITV Just because Christopher Eccleston left this excellent thriller after one series doesn’t mean it’s all over. Stephen Moyer, last seen sporting fangs and little clothing in True Blood, now heads an all-new cast in an all-new location. He plays Tom, an ex-police officer who runs a safe house on the rugged coastline of Anglesey. But he and his wife Sam (Zoë Tapper) have their world turned upside down when it looks like the man behind a series of historic abductions has struck again. “The Crow” stole wives away from their husbands as they watched helplessly. Is Sam’s hunch right?

With such a topsy-turvy summer confusing birds’ nesting habits, our columnist was in a flap to rescue a baby thrush Illustration by Susan Hellard

SUSAN HEllArD C/O ArENA

veryone who, like me, thought they were being sensible when they decided to take their summer holiday in July has my commiserations. It isn’t unreasonable to imagine warm, sunny days will arrive by August, so taking a trip abroad early would seem the better option, thinking we’d be back in good time to enjoy a glorious summer. but this year has been a bit of a wash-out so far apart from about 10 days of unexpected heat many, many weeks ago. Now we’re left with an exhausted sun trying desperately to burn through grey skies as we limp through September. We may be wearing shorts, t-shirts and summer dresses whenever possible, but they’re often accompanied by cardies, sweatshirts and Ugg boots, and it’s starting to be annoying. Our hay should have been harvested a long time ago, but certain weather conditions are essential before we can cut it, and this “summer” they simply haven’t happened. I’m monitoring the weather constantly, but every time I think there might possibly be five whole rain-free days (necessary for successful hay harvesting), the forecast changes and a downpour ruins our plans. It’s been standing so long now that a second crop of fresh grass is pushing its way up, so instead of being desperate to get it cut and baled, now we’re hoping the new grass will be long enough to make a decent harvest when the timing is right. In the meantime, walking the dogs has become more of a challenge (especially if they catch sight of a rabbit) and we end up scanning for pairs of ears in the long grass or, in Dimple and Captain’s case, the occasional bounce in the air as a marker for their whereabouts. Fruit trees and flowers seem to be acting unseasonally, too, S MAGAZINE ★ 3 SEptEMbEr 2017

and our stable-nesting swallows have just launched their second family this year to the skies, so I can only think the weather is causing a population explosion and at least the birds are benefitting from our hateful humidity. Midges and flies seem to be having a field day, so baby birds are flourishing on their protein-rich diet (ugh), even if some of their parents are abandoning parental responsibility a bit too early in complete exhaustion. So far, we’ve rescued three fledglings from a nasty end this year – two of them thrushes, which leads me to believe the parents forgot to enrol their youngsters in the local crèche/ flying academy and instead sent them out into the wide blue yonder too early.

Our latest feathered failure spent the whole afternoon hopping along the base of the ha-ha (a trench at the foot of a restraining wall that holds the lawn in place before the land drops away on to fields). I monitored the bird for hours, hoping at some point one of its parents would appear or it would finally find its wings, but sadly dusk began to fall and there was no sign of improvement or parental guidance. As the rain began to pour, I alerted Willow who scooped the bird up and gave it a temporary home in a spare chicken house and run. the bird wasn’t very coordinated and seemed to stumble occasionally, so perhaps it had suffered a rookie error on its first days of flight and simply needed a few days to recover. As its beak was covered in mulberry juice, we picked a few ripe ones and put them in the run together with a crop of tayberries, although the bird seemed less interested in food and more relieved to have a dark, safe house to retreat into and dry off. Hopefully, it will soon recover its strength, and at least we know it’s safe from predators. Even though I loathe keeping any wild creature in captivity, over the years we’ve had a pretty good success rate with birds, from rescuing abandoned baby kestrels off the roof and hand feeding them until they could fly to a pigeon that had been shot with an air rifle. there’s nothing more wonderful than the day of release (although the baby kestrels weren’t too keen to leave) and with any luck, our baby thrush will fly away in a few days’ time. Although if the weather doesn’t improve soon, it may decide to stay where it is. After all, it must take some effort finding ripened berries when the sun doesn’t shine and a dry chicken house must be a welcome change from a rain-sodden branch. 79
