At Brewin Dolphin, we like to get<br />
to know our clients. That’s why<br />
every relationship begins with<br />
you, your investment manager,<br />
and a blank sheet of paper. We’re<br />
independently owned, with no<br />
in-house funds to ‘push’ or ‘sell’,<br />
and our investment managers are<br />
free to choose from the whole<br />
investment market. So you can<br />
rest assured your portfolio will<br />
always reflect your own specific<br />
circumstances and your own<br />
unique wants and needs. But,<br />
while we’re on the subject of<br />
numbers, give us a call on the<br />
one at the bottom of the page,<br />
we can have a chat, and hopefully<br />
you’ll find that the first thing we<br />
earn is your trust.<br />
Investments may fall as well as rise and you may get back less than you invested.<br />

Philip Meeson<br />
I first visited Glasgow as a child. I have hazy memories of walking around the<br />
Gorbals, where my grandfather grew up in the 1930s.<br />
When I returned a few years ago, it felt like a different place. I loved the city<br />
centre’s Victorian and Edwardian buildings, the cool cafés and hip boutiques of Byres<br />
Road, the edgy clubs and bars of Sauchiehall Street, and the peace and beauty of<br />
Kelvingrove Park. Jet2.com’s new base isn’t only a boon to the people of Scotland’s<br />
largest city, it’s great news for those in Spain, Cyprus, Turkey, Portugal and France<br />
who can now get great value flights to one of Europe’s most vibrant places.<br />
As well as shedloads of advice on what to see and do in Glasgow, we’ve got<br />
Monaco 007-style, hidden Venice, gourmet Croatia, versatile Reus, an interview with<br />
Scotland’s own Andy Murray, and tons more besides. We’re also delighted to have<br />
the lady of the moment, Emily Blunt, lighting up our cover. Happy flying!<br />

Pass Notes<br />
What do Henry Kissinger, Nelson Mandela and<br />
Pope John Paul II have in common? They’re all Harlem<br />
Globetrotters. Well, OK, they’re honorary members rather<br />
than showboating athletes, but these famous fans<br />
demonstrate the appeal of an American institution that<br />
more than lives up to its name, having entertained crowds<br />
in more than 120 countries since its inception in 1926.<br />
Nate “Big Easy” Lofton, named after his home town<br />
of New Orleans and famed for his thunderous dunks,<br />
is particularly excited about the UK tour, taking place<br />
Definitive dispatches<br />

Ahead of their UK tour, the Harlem Globetrotters show off some moves<br />
PUMP FAKE DELAYED FORWARD PASS<br />
ULTIMATE SPIN<br />
FOOT BOUNCE PASS<br />
6 JetAway<br />
1. Begin with the ball<br />
held out in front of<br />
you with all the seams<br />
meeting in the palm<br />
of your hand<br />
1. Hold the ball<br />
with both hands<br />
at your chest<br />
1. With your feet<br />
planted shoulder-<br />
width apart, drop the<br />
ball to let it bounce<br />
at your side<br />
2. Gently toss up the<br />
ball while twisting it<br />
hard in the direction<br />
you prefer<br />
from 24 April to 2 May. “We are there to have a good<br />
time and to entertain you guys,” he enthuses. “You’ll<br />
see high energy, lots of laughter, great basketball and<br />
some good-looking men!” The sport remains under the<br />
radar in the UK, but Lofton promises, “No matter how<br />
bad a day you’re having, we’ll cheer you up.”<br />
If the Globetrotters’ gravity-defying dunks do succeed<br />
in lifting your spirits, you might fancy trying a few tricks<br />
of your own. Here’s how. AB<br />
harlemglobetrotters.com<br />
2. Step forward as you would<br />
normally to throw a pass, but as<br />
you throw it use your fingertips<br />
to catch the ball and flick it back<br />
towards your chest<br />
2. Step in front<br />
of the ball while<br />
bending one knee<br />
TIP!<br />
TIP!<br />
Always keep your eyes<br />
on the person you are<br />
fake-throwing it to<br />
Simply drop the ball to<br />
initiate the pass so that it<br />
doesn’t bounce too high<br />
3. With your arms still<br />
extended in front of you,<br />
quickly bring them together<br />
to grip the ball and catch it<br />
with your upper inner arms<br />
TIP!<br />
Old balls work best<br />
because they are not<br />
too slippery<br />
3. Keep up the<br />
momentum by gently<br />
tapping along the<br />
side of the ball in the<br />
direction of the spin<br />
3. Use the bottom of<br />
your foot to connect<br />
with the ball on the rise,<br />
sending it bouncing off<br />
to the receiver

Future Perfect<br />
Indulge your inner nerd at a cutting-edge arts festival<br />
Nobody knows what the future has in<br />
store, but Drew Hemment has a better<br />
idea than most. He’s the director of<br />
FutureEverything, the UK’s only festival<br />
dedicated to innovation in the arts and<br />
technology, which draws 50,000 visitors<br />
to Manchester annually.<br />
This year, alongside experimental<br />
electronic music and new technology,<br />
there will be an exhibition about how<br />
our relationship with information is<br />
changing as the internet and smart-phone<br />
tracking technology such as Foursquare<br />
and geotagging evolves. “We’ve got<br />
a bunch of the world’s leading artists<br />
onboard who are inspired by the digital<br />
realm,” explains Hemment. “They’re<br />
in the process of transforming it from<br />
something from geeky and inaccessible<br />
to something that is incredibly beautiful<br />
and overpowering.”<br />
Live music comes from all-girl rockers<br />
Warpaint and New York hip-hop trio Das<br />
Racist, and a third of the programme is<br />
free, including many art shows and<br />
debates. The future looks bright. RA<br />

The double chart-topping pop<br />
sensation in her own words<br />
1. Fame wasn’t handed to her on a plate<br />
“People think that I popped out of my mother’s womb singing<br />
Chasing Pavements.” Scotland On Sunday, <strong>2011</strong><br />
2. She wouldn’t react well if someone suggested she lose weight<br />
“I would punch them! Put it this way: I’ve never been naked<br />
and had someone say, ‘Will you leave the room, please?”’<br />
The Scotsman, <strong>2011</strong><br />
3. She’s cool with being uncool<br />
“I love pop music – Girls Aloud, Kylie, Spice Girls, East 17,<br />
Mika. I was a real indie kid, but I’d secretly go home and<br />
listen to Celine Dion.” Observer, 2008<br />
4. She’s got a keen sense of style<br />
“I love looking like a drag queen. Hair back-combed<br />
beyond belief, eyelashes galore, heavy contour.<br />
And I love my big, square ghetto nails.”<br />
LA Times, 2009<br />
5. She’s amazed her music has such an effect<br />
“For people to link my music to their lives,<br />
it’s incredible. There’s no other feeling like it.”<br />

“Gentlemanly Jackie Milburn (or ‘Wor Jackie’ to<br />
Newcastle United have a dangerous habit of<br />
packing more drama into a single season than<br />
most clubs manage in ten. After burning through<br />
five managers in three years and suffering an<br />
agonising relegation, the club seemed to have<br />
achieved stability as Chris Hughton guided the<br />
team to the top half of the Premier League. But<br />
then, just as things seemed settled, Hughton<br />
was sacked to make way for Alan Pardew. If<br />
nothing else it keeps life at St James’ Park<br />

subject for a new exhibition at the Discovery<br />

& East End team photograph, 1884-85<br />
“In 1892 Newcastle East End and Newcastle<br />

West End merged to become Newcastle United.<br />
These exhibits are from the 1880s, when the<br />
two teams were still local rivals.”<br />
2. Ticket for a Newcastle United versus<br />
Sunderland grudge match, 1904<br />
“The rivalry between these two northeastern<br />
teams has always been rife. Their first<br />
competitive meeting was an FA Cup tie in<br />
1888; this ticket is from 16 years later.”<br />
3. Hughie Gallacher’s championship shirt, 1926-27<br />
“In 1926-27 Gallacher captained Newcastle<br />
to championship victory for the first time since<br />
1909, and they haven’t won it again since.<br />
He played 174 games and scored 143 goals,<br />
giving him the highest goals-per-game record<br />
in the club’s history.”<br />
his fans) signed for Newcastle in 1943 and is<br />
one of the club’s best-loved players. Throughout<br />
the Second World War he continued to play<br />
while working down the mines, and he remains<br />
the team’s second highest ever scorer.”<br />
5. Kevin Keegan’s boots, 1983-84<br />
“At the start of the 1980s Newcastle United<br />
were struggling in the former Second Division.<br />
Manager Arthur Cox got them back on track<br />
after signing the skilful and ambitious Kevin<br />
Keegan in 1982. Keegan went on to play<br />
78 games for the Magpies and has had two<br />
stints as Newcastle manager.” AB<br />

The Party Crasher<br />
Red-carpet princess Zoe Griffin is used to rubbing<br />
shoulders with the A-list – in fact, it’s her job. An<br />
expert in all things showbiz with the celebrity pals to<br />
prove it, she’s the perfect person for advice on how<br />
to blag your way into the most exclusive parties at<br />
the Cannes International Film Festival.<br />
Make Friends And Influence People<br />
“You never know who you’re going to meet in<br />
Cannes and where the best party will be. The person<br />
sunbathing next to you could be the person in charge<br />
of the guestlist for the annual Chopard party, or they<br />
could own a yacht that’s playing host to P Diddy and<br />
Lindsay Lohan. Be friendly and blag an invite or two.”<br />
Timing Is Everything<br />
“To guarantee you end up dancing with the stars,<br />
I recommend timing your arrival at the venue with<br />
a big group who all have invites. Stick to them<br />
like glue, hold your head high and stroll right on<br />
in like you were born to be there.”<br />
Dress Up And Dazzle<br />
“Wear your most glamorous dress and wait down the<br />
road until you spot a guest who has had to leave early<br />
for a meeting. Smile, flutter those eyelashes, and ask<br />
ever so nicely if you can have their used ticket. They<br />
won’t be able to resist.”<br />
Walk Straight In<br />
“In my experience, security guards often leave<br />
invitations lying around. Smile sweetly, create a<br />
diversion and try to swipe a couple from the table.” AB<br />

little by little, but there<br />
were two key moments<br />
– leaving the old site in<br />
2004 and booking Neil<br />

This year’s festival is the<br />
biggest yet, with comeback<br />
kings Pulp, The Flaming<br />
Lips, PJ Harvey, Belle and<br />
Sebastian, Grinderman and<br />
Sufjan Stevens among the<br />
150 acts. “The line-up is<br />
chosen by two or three of<br />
us and we argue a lot,”<br />
says Suarez. “We try to<br />
combine up-and-coming<br />
bands with artists who<br />
have made a crucial<br />
contribution to music.”<br />
There are also dozens of<br />
Spanish bands on the lineup.<br />

Beyond The Fringe<br />
It started in an Edinburgh pub in the year<br />
2000. Soaking up the atmosphere at the annual<br />
Fringe Festival, Steve Gove had a brainwave:<br />
why not start a similar event in Prague, the city<br />
he’d moved to and fallen in love with a few<br />
years earlier? He acted upon his impulses and<br />
set up the Prague Fringe Festival, which this<br />
year celebrates its tenth anniversary.<br />
“Edinburgh and Prague have<br />
a very similar atmosphere,”<br />
says Gove. “They’ve both<br />
got cobbled streets, lots of<br />
churches and ancient history.<br />
I think we’ve managed to<br />
recreate the atmosphere of<br />
the Edinburgh Fringe here.<br />
You’re constantly running from<br />
theatre to theatre, the shows<br />
are all short, tickets are cheap,<br />
and by the end of the week you’ve<br />
been on an emotional rollercoaster –<br />
you’re on your last legs, you’ve drunk<br />
yourself into the ground, and had a<br />
massive cultural injection.”<br />
Let’s see which shows Steve urges<br />
us not to miss...<br />
14JetAway<br />
Cooking For Love<br />
Venue: Divadlo Na Pradle<br />
“Coming in directly from Amsterdam, Cooking<br />
For Love sees eight courses prepared live on<br />
stage by a chef who invites you to sample his<br />
dishes at the same time as hearing his thrilling<br />
love story. There’s plenty of slicing, dicing and<br />
cooking, and every recipe is a memory.”<br />
Merri-May Gill<br />
Venue: Divadlo Na Pradle<br />
“Merri-May (left) appeared at the very<br />
first Prague Fringe Festival, and<br />
she’s back to celebrate our tenth<br />
birthday in her own inimitable style.<br />
Her quirky Aussie cabaret has left<br />
audiences from the outback to the<br />
festivals of the world begging for more.”<br />
Jewel<br />
Venue: A Stuido Rubin<br />
“In this haunting but<br />
ultimately life-affirming<br />
play, a woman, widowed<br />
following the sinking of<br />
her husband’s rig off the<br />
coast of Newfoundland, finds unexpected<br />
resilience in her own heart. It’s become a minor<br />
classic of Canadian theatre and we’re proud to<br />
be staging it for the first time in Europe.”<br />
Personal Belongings<br />
Venue: Malostranska Beseda<br />
“Personal Belongings is a comedy with music<br />
by poet, playwright and novelist Julia Darling<br />
performed by her muse, Zoe Lambert. There’s<br />
also beautiful country songs arranged by Dave<br />
Scott, who’s worked with Kathryn Williams.”<br />
My First Song<br />
Venue: Divadlo Inspirace<br />
“My First Song is a bittersweet comedy that’s<br />
enjoyed rave reviews across world festivals for<br />
the past 14 years. It’s the story of an 11-yearold<br />
boy and his obsession with recording<br />
bsolutely everything on his new tape recorder.<br />
His parents are not best pleased!” ML<br />

“Our blog is an open discussion about how men could (and<br />
do) dress,” says EJ. “We aim to showcase emerging and<br />
established talents that exude a penchant for quality and<br />
tailoring.” The duo, who started blogging in 2007, predict<br />
the workwear trend will continue to be big in Manchester.<br />
“Manchester has a very distinct look,” says EJ. “The<br />
1960s lives on in the hearts of many men here. The<br />
women love showing off their legs and this will certainly<br />
continue as the weather warms up.”<br />
They suggest shoppers on a budget try the Northern<br />
Quarter, with Afflecks (52 Church Street; afflecks.com)<br />
still the best place to pick up clothes by local designers.<br />

Tamu McPherson began blogging in 2008 to draw<br />
attention to stylish people in her home town. “Fashion<br />
allows us to express different sides of our personalities,”<br />
she says. “I love dressing up and assuming different<br />
personas with each new look.”<br />
Apparently, this year the Milanese are loving vintage,<br />
neon, stripes, florals and pleats – the “more is more”<br />
approach. To join the club, she recommends trendy<br />
boutique Frip (16 Corso di Porta Ticinese, frip.it).<br />

this summer’s usual suspects
XENIA ALONSO<br />

“I’m inspired by people and the places<br />
I discover around my city,” says Xenia,<br />
who’s been blogging for five years now. Her<br />
city’s style, she says, is “urban and casual”,<br />
and it’s full of young people who like to put<br />
individual twists on the newest trends.<br />
She thinks this summer will see an<br />
explosion of bright colours, although her<br />
advice for those with more conservative<br />
tastes is that “white and grey will be the<br />
new black”. She also predicts a strong<br />
1970s revival, with maxi dresses and<br />
wide-legged trousers proving popular.<br />
To snap up luxury brands at bargain<br />
basement prices, she recommends La<br />
Roca Outlet Village (08430 Santa Agnès<br />
de Malanyanes, larocavillage.com) on the<br />
outskirts of the city.<br />

thechicmuse.blogspot.com, Paris<br />
The creator of The Chic Muse set up her<br />
blog a couple of years ago in an effort<br />
to express her love for fashion and her<br />
home city. “There is something so artistic<br />
about fashion,” she says. “It’s a form<br />
of expression allowing people to show<br />
others their personality, I love the fact<br />
that it is constantly evolving, it keeps<br />
things exciting”.<br />
When she spoke to JetAway, Denni was<br />

ANDY TORRES<br />
stylescrapbook.com, Amsterdam<br />
After moving to Amsterdam three years ago and struggling<br />
to find a job in the fashion industry, Andy Torres started<br />
a blog to showcase her skills as a writer and a stylist.<br />
“For me, fashion is a way of expressing myself,” she<br />
says. “I always try to experiment with different styles<br />
and I’ve done some designing as well.”<br />
So far, Andy says, <strong>2011</strong> has brought lots of camel<br />
coats and nude colours to the streets of the Dutch capital,<br />
and she also expects this summer’s trends to feature lots<br />
of bright colours: “Wide-leg pants are making a comeback,<br />
so you can expect to see a lot of these about.”<br />
For second-hand bargains, Andy recommends popping<br />
into Episode (Waterlooplein, +31 20 320 3000), which is<br />
full of one-of-a-kind gems.<br />
two-tone boots, vintage sweaters, funky<br />
accessories, and the obligatory shots of<br />
her stepping out of yellow taxis. This girl<br />
clearly likes to dress up and have fun.<br />
Back in Paris, Denni predicts that<br />
accessories will be big and bold this<br />
summer, hats and earrings will be<br />
everywhere, and that we should expect<br />
to see lace making a comeback. She says<br />
the best place to snap up some Parisian<br />
vintage gems is Coiffeur Vintage (32 Rue<br />
de Rosiers, +33 1 40 27 04 98), where<br />
you can find designer cast-offs at walletfriendly<br />
prices. AB<br />

Nailing It<br />
The (un)varnished truth about how to make your<br />
next manicure a minor masterpiece<br />
French manicure? A fresh coat of varnish in<br />
fire-engine red? That’s so last season! Fans of the<br />
talon salon are making the most of a new type of<br />
nail art that’s right at their fingertips.<br />
Katy Perry, Rihanna and Alexa Chung have been<br />
using their nails as a canvas for cool designs on the<br />
red carpet, on tour and at fashion weeks across the<br />
globe. Alexa got the thumbs up from Grazia with her<br />
retro Hawaiian palm trees at New York Fashion Week,<br />
while Katy Perry has been posting photos online of her<br />
red-and-white-striped, candy-inspired nails. She’s so<br />
crazy for the trend that she’s signed up with OPI nail<br />
varnishes to collaborate on a new line of shades,<br />
launched recently.<br />
Search for “Vainglorious” on YouTube and you’ll find<br />
an instructional video from Lady Gaga’s manicurist on<br />
how to recreate some of her looks. Both Gaga and<br />
Rihanna are fans of Minx nail art, which is available<br />
at salons across the UK or to try at home.<br />
The science is simple – a solid film with a sticky<br />
backing is laid on to the nail bed and heat activated<br />
under a lamp (use a hairdryer on medium heat at<br />
home), then cut to size if necessary. Check out Minx<br />
My Nails (minxmynails.co.uk) for salons offering<br />
Minx treatments across the UK. To do it yourself,<br />
pick up some Models Own nail-art pens online<br />
A P R I L / M A Y<br />
(modelsownit.com) and use the long, thin brush<br />
to add strokes and lines, then the nib for detail.<br />
If you live in Newcastle, you’re in luck. Geordie<br />
lasses are all over the trend. In fact, Digital Nail Art<br />
(digitalnailart.com) in Newcastle is leading the way<br />
by using digital prints of personalised designs that<br />
can be applied to nails in minutes. You could emulate<br />
Katy Perry, who had photos of her hubby Russell<br />
Brand pasted to her claws in a kooky romantic gesture.<br />
Or you could have pictures of your pooch on your<br />
digits, if that’s not too weird. Alternatively, why not<br />
take a photo of the fabric of your favourite dress and<br />
have your nails done to match?<br />
Tell the guys at Digital Nail Art that you saw the<br />
YouTube video on their website and you’ll receive<br />
a 20 per cent discount on your phone booking,<br />
so a full set of digitalised nails will cost just £20.<br />
And it’s not just the Brits who are getting into nail<br />
art. If you’re off to Palma in Majorca this summer, you<br />
can treat yourself to some souvenir nail art – far better<br />
than cornrows or a henna tattoo! The girls at Marily<br />
Arago (mallorca-beauty-nails.com) are masters of their<br />
craft and can give you a taster on one nail before you<br />
commit to all ten. LH<br />

Dizzying taste sensations await in Paris’s new culinary hot spots<br />
The French capital does dining out like<br />
nowhere else, and you can’t swing a chat<br />
without hitting a chic new eatery. JetAway<br />
picks the crème de la crème of places for<br />
you to stuff yourself silly in this spring…<br />
1. Bigarrade<br />
Fussy eaters be warned: you get what you’re<br />
given at this menu-less restaurant, then you<br />
have to guess what it is: veal carpaccio?<br />
Herring roe? Pumpkin and foie gras<br />
emulsion? All of these slide across the pass<br />
at this ultra-fashionable but reasonably<br />
priced bolthole in the 17th Arrondissement.<br />
A meal can last for hours and run over several<br />
courses, but you’ll never get bored – the<br />
chefs work their magic from an open kitchen.<br />
106 Rue Nollet, +33 1 42 26 01 02,<br />

2. La Bauhinia<br />
Asian-fusion eatery La Bauhinia takes its<br />
cues from French colonial Indochina, serving<br />
everything from Indonesian curry laksa to<br />
veal with salsify gratin and preserved lemon<br />
cream. The staff wear smart Vietnamese silk<br />
jackets and the decor is wildly over the top.<br />
The Shangri-La Hotel, which opened in<br />
December 2010, has two more top-notch<br />
treats on the way: a traditional French place,<br />
L’Abeille, and a Chinese joint called Shang<br />
Palace, both of which are coming soon.<br />
10 Avenue d’Lena, +33 1 53 67 19 91,<br />

3. Le 39V<br />
A dedicated lift whisks Paris’s most<br />
discerning and well-heeled diners up to the<br />
top of an impressive building in the heart of<br />
the so-called Golden Triangle. Location is<br />
everything for posh Parisians, hence the<br />
name of this restaurant getting straight to<br />
the point by announcing, “Look! We’re in
a plush part of town.” Put on a tie (or high<br />
heels) and enjoy the refinement on offer. The<br />
menu is skewed towards northern French<br />
cuisine such as Breton scallops and<br />
langoustine, Normandy beef and fish.<br />
39 Avenue George V, +33 1 56 62 39 05,<br />

International in both flavour and looks, Le<br />
Dauphin was designed by Dutch architect<br />
Rem Koolhaas and features cooking by<br />
Basque chef Inaki Aizpitarte. The hottest<br />
new table in town is next door to Aizpitarte’s<br />
much-lauded Le Chateaubriand (voted<br />
Restaurant Magazine’s 11th best eatery in<br />
the world 2010). Le Dauphin is younger,<br />
more fun, less pricey and designed for<br />
a cooler, casual crowd. It serves “gastro-<br />
Clockwise from left: the Parisian<br />
skyline; Le 39’s elegant cuisine and<br />

before going out partying you can enjoy little<br />
plates of perfection served on the hoof.<br />
Avenue Parmentier, +33 1 55 28 78 88<br />

For something a little bit different, try this<br />
bar-restaurant hybrid that wouldn’t look out t<br />
of place in Leeds or Manchester. Gayfriendly<br />
Baxo has opened on the banks of<br />
the Canal Saint-Martin, offering light,<br />
modern food with an Asian twist such as<br />
seared tuna with wasabi. Later on, the<br />
showy interior morphs into a noisier DJ bar ar<br />
with cocktails and disco music until the<br />
early hours, but tapas is served all night in<br />
case you need nibbles between negronis. . CB<br />

Leading The Pack<br />
When it comes to strange crisp flavours,<br />
the British are famously progressive. We think<br />
nothing of snacking on fried potato snacks the<br />
rest of the world would flinch from. Try going<br />
to a supermarket in mainland Europe and<br />
asking for pickled onion, haggis, tomato<br />
ketchup or Cajun squirrel crisps. They’ll<br />
suggest you seek help.<br />
Bradford has been at the epicentre of the<br />
forward-thinking crisp world since 1945,<br />
when Charles Brook established the Seabrook<br />
Crisp Company. Since then the Yorkshire<br />
company famed for its distinctive crinkle cuts<br />
has spearheaded Britain’s flavour revolution.<br />
They’re responsible for long-lost legends such<br />
as fish and chips, bacon and brown sauce,<br />
and chip shop curry, and currently produce<br />
the super-spicy mustard, wasabi and two<br />
chilli. To celebrate Bradford’s unsurpassable<br />
Asian restaurant scene, Seabrook recently<br />
unveiled a tangy new desi curry flavour.<br />
“We wanted to do something that felt<br />
local,” says John Tague, Seabrook’s managing<br />
director. “Desi curry refers to curry from the<br />
Bradford area. It took a long time to develop<br />
the flavour because everything has to be<br />
perfect when it launches.”<br />
The creation of a new crisp flavour, Tague<br />
explains, is a slow process of trial and error.<br />
“We have various companies who supply the<br />
flavours and we work closely with them and<br />
their technologists to develop the flavours,”<br />
he says. “We keep returning to the flavours,<br />
keep refining them and tweaking them – it<br />
takes a long time.”<br />
But even a crack team of crisp nerds can<br />
get it catastrophically wrong. “Many years ago<br />
we even brought out sweetcorn,” says Tague.<br />
We’ll W stick with wasabi, thanks. ML<br />
Seabrook crisps are now available on<br />

EMILY BLUNT<br />
SEE<br />
EMILY<br />
PLAY<br />
From the Edinburgh Fringe to the Hollywood Hills,<br />
Emily Blunt’s journey to the top has been as unpredictable<br />
as it’s been unstoppable, says Vari Innes<br />
Depending on your age, tastes and<br />
testosterone levels you’ll recognise<br />
Emily Blunt as 1) a fabulously fiesty NY<br />
fashionista (in breakthrough chick flick<br />
The Devil Wears Prada), 2) the pretty damsel in distress<br />
in a couple of Hollywood flops (The Wolfman,<br />
Gulliver’s Travels), or 3) our longest-serving monarch<br />
before she really let herself go (The Young Victoria).<br />
That’s quite a range, although in <strong>2011</strong> this 28-yearold<br />
English rose has attempted an even greater<br />
stretch. In sci-fi romance The Adjustment Bureau,<br />
Blunt plays a ballet dancer cheating destiny to<br />
romance Matt Damon, while at the other end of the<br />
spectrum, she plays an animated garden ornament<br />
doing much the same thing for James McAvoy in<br />
Gnomeo And Juliet. If you can’t guess where her<br />
22JetAway<br />
contrary career will take her next, don’t panic, she<br />
hasn’t the faintest idea herself.<br />
When asked if she believes in fate, a question, on<br />
reflection, she may have heard often since the release<br />
of The Adjustment Bureau, Blunt fails to live up to her<br />
name. “It’s funny because I feel a bit mixed on this<br />
subject,” she says. “I’ve had experiences where I feel<br />
the choices I’ve made have been the deciding factor<br />
as to which path I ended up on but I also feel like<br />
I’ve had these magical occurrences that seem so<br />
fatalistic, that they’re almost predetermined in some<br />
way.” Thankfully her characters aren’t quite so comfy<br />
sitting on the fence – even the star-crossed gnomes<br />
– but it’s this combination of luck and judgment,<br />
canniness and credulity that brought her to our<br />
attention in the first place.

‘My father is a great<br />
actor – he has to do it<br />
in court all the time’<br />
Born in Roehampton, London, to an actress and<br />
a high-profile barrister (“My father is a great actor<br />
– he has to do it in court all the time,” she jokes)<br />
Blunt’s first tussle with the fickle fingers of fate<br />
happened as she applied for secondary school. “My<br />
sister went to a really competitive school, and I<br />
desperately wanted to get into it,” she recalls. “I was<br />
so devastated at 16 that I didn’t go there. So, I went to<br />
my second choice [Hurtwood House in Surrey], and<br />
they had a great drama department.” Blunt soon<br />
found herself at Edinburgh Festival earning some<br />
summer pocket money and impressing her first<br />
theatrical agent. “And I think back on that and how<br />
sad I was not to get into that school, but, really, if I<br />
had gone there, I would never be here today.”<br />
Not bad for a girl whose crippling stammer once<br />
forced her “to act with a Northern accent in school<br />
plays” – something perhaps Colin Firth might have<br />
tried in The King’s Speech. Though it would be<br />
tempting to the say the rest is history, perhaps<br />
“historical” is the more accurate term. After making<br />
her TV debut in Boudica, about the British warrior<br />
queen’s legendary rebellion against the Romans, she<br />
went on to be cast as soon-to-be-headless Catherine<br />
Howard alongside Ray Winstone’s Henry VIII. Despite<br />
her penchant for bringing people from the past to<br />
life, it was two modern roles that nudged Blunt<br />
towards the mainstream. Having won an Evening<br />
Standard Award for her performance in 2004’s My<br />
Summer Of Love (filmed in Todmorden, West<br />
Yorkshire), Blunt stole the show two years later as<br />
The Devil Wears Prada’s Emily, a fashion mag wannabe<br />
with a cut-glass accent and more issues than<br />
WHSmiths. “She was a marvellous character,” recalls<br />
Blunt. “[Co-star] Stanley Tucci and I had a bet about<br />
which of us would overact the most. I won.”<br />
Overacting or not, the roles kept coming thick,<br />
fast and varied. In the next few years, Blunt showed<br />
her range – and the perils of playing Hollywood role<br />

roulette – as Ruthie “Pig Face” Draper in respected<br />
2007 indie Dan In Real Life, our equally swinevisaged<br />
ruler in 2009’s much-lauded The Young<br />
Victoria, and the rather more glamorous love interests<br />
of 2010’s Gulliver’s Travels and The Wolf Man.<br />
Despite a fairytale wedding to John Krasinski<br />
(from Prada and The Office US) last summer, Blunt’s<br />
onscreen romances remain as wayward as her CV. In<br />
The Adjustment Bureau she hooks up with her leading<br />
man in a toilet (“The most unromantic setting<br />
possible – that’s what I thought was cool!”) despite<br />
protesting humorously “I loathe Matt Damon!” For<br />
Gnomeo, meanwhile, she had to overcome an even<br />
greater aversion. “I was one of these kids that seemed<br />
to be scared of anything in costume, including<br />
Father Christmas,” she explains. “So I didn’t really<br />
understand the appeal of these strange little bearded<br />
men in your garden. Then, when I read the script,<br />
I thought it was the most charming, witty thing.<br />
Basically we have revolutionised people’s<br />
preconceptions of garden gnomes.” Is she still scared?<br />
“I’m over it. It was therapeutic to do that movie.”<br />
Blunt, as you may well have guessed, is rather<br />
more down to earth than her regal onscreen image<br />
suggests. “I like pizza. I like curry. I like burgers. I<br />
like grilled cheese. I like Chinese food. I like anything<br />
that’s bad for me,” she admits. But the thing she<br />
seems to like most of all is defying her audience's<br />
expectations, reinventing herself onscreen time<br />
and time again. “It’s exciting going off on this very<br />
precarious journey of being an actress,” she says. “It’s a<br />
big leap of faith. But I thought, ‘Well, I’ll give it a go,’<br />
and so far – touch wood – it’s working out.” So what<br />
continues to drive her? “I love people,” she explains.<br />
“I love hearing about their lives and I love their<br />
idiosyncrasies and I think that is what it is. I hope to<br />
God I never discover my whole bag of tricks cause<br />
that’s the fun of it. You can keep going, keep being<br />
curious and you don’t even know what you’re going<br />
to be able to do.”<br />
You certainly don’t. Next up for Blunt is Salmon<br />
Fishing In The Yemen – a film based on the Paul Torday<br />
bestseller, not the holiday – although with this rising<br />
star, frankly, you can never quite tell.<br />

Venice is one of the world’s most beautiful cities, so why do so few<br />
tourists explore its islands? Eleanor Hannah investigates<br />
t’s not as if the city of Venice could be<br />
called a disappointment. It’s as beautiful<br />
and mysterious as I’d expected it to be.<br />
By day, I weave through flocks of tourists<br />
to marvel at the dark green canals and ornate<br />
buildings that gleam under the bright blue sky.<br />
At night, grand Venetian woman sweep by in<br />
fur coats as I wander through the alleyways of<br />
this labyrinthine city. But there are 117 islands<br />
nearby and the majority are almost completely<br />
ignored by tourists. I decided to explore four of<br />
the most easily accessible.<br />
Burano<br />
The less you know about Burano, the better.<br />
It’s more fun if it’s a surprise, particularly after<br />
the well-documented delights of Venice. I hop<br />
off the vaporetto (the region’s municipal<br />
ferries), walk a hundred metres or so, and am<br />
then totally blown away by the gorgeous<br />
architecture that greets me. The island’s streets<br />
are lined with picturesque houses in green,<br />
lilac, yellow, red, ochre, blue and orange, to<br />
name just a few of the colours. Cute canals<br />
wind their watery ways around them.

Chioggia; Sant’Erasmo fortress; the<br />
Lido pontoon. Previous: Burano’s<br />
multicoloured residences<br />
Burano is beautiful, but clearly nobody’s been<br />
spreading the word. I pop into a pasticceria for a<br />
snack and wait as two locals chat animatedly. When<br />
my turn to be served comes, I speak in Italian and<br />
am answered in kind – they seem delighted by my<br />
clumsy efforts to communicate. Burano is renowned<br />
for its locally crafted lace, and the shops scattered<br />
along its streets are certainly worth a visit if you’re a<br />
fan. And the architecture is enchanting.<br />
Sant’Erasmo<br />
It’s 11am on a Monday morning when I clamber<br />
out of another vaporetto and on to the island<br />
of Sant’Erasmo, situated in the northeast of the<br />
OFF-MAP ITALY<br />
Venetian lagoon. A mere half-hour ago I was<br />
enjoying coffee and pastries in central Venice,<br />
now I face a completely deserted landscape.<br />
I wander through field after field of low-lying<br />
rows of artichokes, courgettes and asparagus,<br />
spotting only one other soul: an old man on<br />
a bike, wearing a washed-out Hawaiian shirt<br />
flapping in the wind under his coat, boxes of<br />
leafy vegetables stacked over the back wheel.<br />
He nods at me, then returns to business.<br />
To get to the island, I scurry past the crowds in<br />
central Venice, past the Basilica di San Marco and<br />
up the Rialto, and make for the northern edge of<br />
the island. There I watch the water lapping against<br />
stone walls until the vaporetto appears to take me<br />
to the lagoon’s outer limits. We go past Murano,<br />
an island close to Venice which houses a famous<br />
glass-making factory. By the time Murano recedes<br />
into the distance, I have left everyone else behind<br />
and it’s just me and the driver left.<br />
Deeply sedate, Sant’Erasmo makes me feel as<br />
if I’m in the middle of the countryside, and if it<br />
weren’t for the brisk winds coming off the nearby<br />
wetlands and the distant shine of water, it would be<br />
easy to forget that it was an island. Although it’s<br />
stark and silent when I wander around, in the<br />
summer Sant’Erasmo blooms; it’s Venice’s market<br />

garden, famed for its vegetables. There’s even an<br />
artichoke festival in June to celebrate the harvest<br />
of its carciofi violetto (purple artichokes).<br />
Torcello<br />
Across the lagoon from Burano is Torcello, a tiny<br />
island that bears the honour of being the oldest<br />
populated region in the Venetian lagoon. Despite<br />
its impressive past as a political and economic<br />
centre, there’s little on Torcello these days to keep<br />
you for long, but its single piazza is well worth<br />
a look. Slip into the Basilica di Santa Maria<br />
Assunta, founded in 639AD, for a few moments<br />
of quiet contemplation. If you’re single, take a seat<br />
on the Chair of Attila. This inauspicious-looking<br />
piece of stone is thought to be the throne Torcello’s<br />
judges sat on during open-air assemblies in days of<br />
yore. Local lore has it that if you do the same you’ll<br />
be married within the year. I plonk myself down<br />
and await the results.<br />
Torcello has had more than its 15 minutes of<br />
fame. Ernest Hemingway retreated here in 1948 to<br />
write a novel, and John Ruskin said of the view<br />
from the cathedral’s campanile (bell tower) that,<br />
“We may command one of the most notable scenes<br />
in this wide world of ours.” Unfortunately, the<br />
campanile is closed for renovation when I visit,<br />
so no such view was to be had. Torcello is even<br />
more deserted than Burano; just me and a few<br />
adventurers ploughing around the small piazza<br />
and its unassuming environs.<br />
Chioggia<br />
I take a vaporetto to the Lido, which is best<br />
known as an upmarket beach resort and for<br />
holding Venice’s glitzy film festival (labiennale.org)<br />
every summer. From here, I catch the number<br />
11 bus, which passes through the Lido and on<br />
to a ferry for a five-minute hop to the island<br />
of Pellestrina. At the tip of Pellestrina, it’s back<br />
on to another ferry for the final 20-minute<br />
crossing to Chioggia, the second-largest settlement<br />
32JetAway<br />
Right: the Church of Santa<br />
Fosca, Torcello. Below: the<br />
island’s Basilica di Santa<br />
Maria Assunta, founded 639AD<br />
in the lagoon after Venice, and another entirely<br />
different experience.<br />
A stroll up the Corso del Popolo, Chioggia’s<br />
main street, gives a good sense of its flavour. It’s<br />
down-to-earth and cheerfully dilapidated but still<br />
popular with tourists, with plenty of restaurants<br />
catering to the boatloads of visitors who come to<br />
enjoy its cheap, fresh seafood. I only manage to<br />
escape the crowds when I venture into the<br />
charming back streets.<br />
In this regard, Chioggia is more reminiscent<br />
of a charming Greek island than of Venice, and as<br />
I take the ferry back into the city, watching the<br />
sunset blaze over the water, I marvel that such<br />
variety could exist among islands so close to each<br />
other, and that so few visitors to Venice take the<br />
time to discover them. Venice isn’t all-consuming,<br />
and a trip around the lagoon will delight and<br />
surprise you just as much as La Serenissima itself.<br />

Stuart Calder and Nick London, Specialist<br />
Knee Surgeons with The Yorkshire Knee<br />
Clinic, advise on how to reduce the chances<br />
of knee injury while skiing this year...<br />
Knee injuries are the most common major<br />
injury sustained by skiers. They account<br />
for around a third of all ski injuries, with the<br />
ligaments most commonly affected. The most<br />
serious knee ligament injury is a rupture of<br />
the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), which<br />
results in problems with twisting and high risk<br />
of the knee wearing out early (osteoarthritis).<br />
Before deciding to cancel your ski trip<br />
in favour of something safer, however, it’s<br />
important to defi ne the risk of injury – it<br />
is extremely low! The chance of a skier<br />
sustaining a serious injury is only three in<br />
every 1,000 ski-days. On average, you would<br />
have to ski for approximately 2,100 days to<br />
sustain an ACL rupture. While a skiing knee<br />
injury is often simple bad luck – with many<br />
ACL injuries occurring on lower slopes where<br />
a fall is not fast enough for skis to come off<br />
– there are some simple things you can do to<br />
reduce the chances of injury:<br />
• Exercise before your trip for six to eight<br />
weeks before departure. For many people,<br />
their one week’s skiing is the most intense<br />
exercise they will do all year so their<br />
muscles are more susceptible to injury.<br />
Beware of fatigue and don’t attempt that<br />
last run if you’re feeling tired. Exercise<br />
advice can be provided by chartered sports<br />
physiotherapists in practice across the UK.<br />
• Ensure all equipment is professionally fi tted<br />
and well maintained, especially ski bindings.<br />
• Moderate alcohol intake during the day.<br />
Research has shown that excess alcohol<br />
contributes to a higher percentage of<br />
hospital admissions after lunch.<br />
If you are unlucky enough to sustain a knee<br />
injury, early specialist advice is critical to<br />
make the best possible recovery. Many ski<br />
resorts have experienced doctors to assess<br />
and provide initial treatment, but beware<br />
of being coerced into surgery. Immediate<br />
surgical treatments are rarely necessary<br />
following skiing injuries (with the exception<br />
of fractures) and often a simple brace and<br />
crutches will allow time for refl ection over<br />
the different treatment options available<br />
once you have consulted an expert.<br />

My grand entrance to this playground for<br />
international playboys is on the modest side to<br />
say the least. In fact, as the 100 bus from Nice<br />
airport cruises through the Riviera, past rows<br />
of Russian-owned villas and dozens of private<br />
banks, fitting in with the millionaire crowd here<br />
already seems like mission impossible.<br />
I alight at Casino Square, perhaps the most<br />
expensive piazza in Europe. With €10m of<br />
vehicles parked outside the Casino de Monte-<br />
Carlo, it looks like Donald Trump’s driveway.<br />
Undaunted, I head across the road to the Hotel<br />

perhaps the most luxurious spot in Europe<br />
to bed a Bond girl. Although with only €60 in<br />
my pocket, my ambitions are somewhat lower.<br />

Le Bar Américain at the Hotel de Paris is vintage<br />
007. It has a wooden counter, a mirrored spirits<br />
shelf, and black-and-white prints immortalising<br />
Cary Grant and Grace Kelly in To Catch A Thief<br />
on the walls. The couple sipping their drinks<br />
on upholstered club chairs next to me claim<br />
to be holidaymakers from St Petersburg. But<br />
what if they’re secretly SMERSH agents?<br />
I give nothing away.<br />
Buoyed by an (early) €10 martini (easy on the<br />
vodka, if not the budget), I speak to reception<br />
about pricing. My jaw drops when I learn that it<br />
costs around €2,750 per person to stand in the<br />
Garnier Suite during the Monaco Grand Prix<br />
(May 28-29, if your pockets are considerably<br />
deeper than mine). Time to leave.<br />

My spirits rise as I sweep out of the Hotel de Paris to<br />
a chorus of “au revoir monsieur” from the top-hatted<br />
door staff. The sunny terrace of the Café de Paris lies<br />
across the street. Boris Becker has been known to sip<br />
€5 espressos here, and racing driver Fernando Alonso<br />
can sometimes be seen cycling past. Behind the café is<br />
the Sun Casino (montecarlosuncasino.com), which has<br />
new €1 slot machines and a beginners’ roulette wheel.<br />
I expect Bond has bigger fish to fry.<br />
I strut past the designer shops on the Avenue des<br />
Spéluges down to the gorgeous waterfront. These<br />
streets form part of the Grand Prix circuit – there are<br />
even tyre tracks burned into the curve outside the<br />
Fairmont Hotel (fairmont.com). A five-minute walk<br />
down Avenue Princesse Grace is Villa Sauber (nmnm.<br />

burgeoning arts scene. Downstairs is a photography<br />
exhibition, upstairs is a collection of dazzling costumes<br />
from the Opéra de Monte-Carlo.<br />

Price: €11 plus tip<br />
Even secret agents need feeding occasionally so I nip<br />
across the road to the Grimaldi Forum (grimaldi<br />
forum.com), a great glass edifice housing Café Llorca,<br />
which was opened by celebrity chef Alain Llorca in<br />
December. With its funky decor and seascape vistas,<br />
I expect a lunchtime refuel to cost more than petrol<br />
for an Aston Martin, but instead the dishes hover<br />
around the €10 mark. I watch my red mullet salad<br />
get tossed in the open kitchen, then happily dig in.<br />
Outside, A-list footballers such as Maradona and<br />
Ronaldinho have left their star-studded bootprints<br />
along the Champions Promenade. Further on, there’s<br />
a Japanese botanical garden – not very Bond but<br />
something of a blessing for a day-tripping family.<br />
Burrowing under the Fairmont Hotel is Monaco’s<br />

Over a hundred of the world’s poshest boats call<br />
Monaco home, and the harbour is a real if-you’vegot-it-flaunt-it<br />

a chopper on top, if not two. Roman Abramovich’s<br />
shockingly named Ecstasea is a regular, as is Sheikh<br />
al-Thani of Qatar’s boat Katara. I hop aboard the new<br />
BateauBus, a stylish, solar-powered ferry that crosses<br />
the harbour. Tip: unless you’re planning on doing this<br />
journey over 100 million times, it’s cheaper than<br />
doing it in your own super-yacht.<br />

because I’ve only got a €10 note and a handful of<br />

but after a few hopeless spins of the roulette wheel it’s<br />
game over for this bluffing Bond. My dreams of guns,<br />

“I have a big soft spot for the Citizens Theatre<br />

FIVE WAYS<br />
The gateway to Catalonia has something<br />
for everyone, says Chris Beanland<br />
CATALONIA UNCOVERED<br />
Reus For Wine Lovers<br />
For reds worth travelling for, you can’t beat<br />
the valleys of Priorat<br />
Half an hour’s drive from Reus, you reach the small<br />
yet perfectly formed region of Priorat, home to the<br />
exquisite wines of the same name. Verdant valleys and<br />
rolling hills spike your interest from the road, but the<br />
real draw here is the grapes themselves – and what<br />
they’re turned into.<br />
Priorat’s production levels are minuscule compared<br />
to the heavy hitters of Spanish vino tinto such as Rioja,<br />
yet the results are every bit as good. The soil here,<br />
unusually, is formed of ancient quartz rocks and slate,<br />
giving a distinctive gutsy taste to the wines, which are<br />
mostly made from grenache grapes.<br />
Both historic wineries such as Bujorn (+34 656<br />
355 663, bujorn.cat) and more recent additions<br />
such as Bodegas Mas Alta (+34 977 054 151,<br />
bodegasmasalta.com), set up in 1999, are happy<br />
to show you round and share some of their tipples.<br />
Afterwards, why not stay the night in the Catacurian<br />
boutique hotel (+34 977 825 341, catacurian.com),<br />
where you can enjoy more wine tastings plus<br />
courses in Catalan cookery.<br />

Reus For Foodies<br />
Lively markets and swish restaurants are<br />
a great temptation for gastronomes<br />
From sticky, sweet churros and crema Catalana to<br />
squid-ink paella and salt cod, Catalans are nuts about<br />
eating – in fact, the International Nut and Dried Fruit<br />
Foundation is headquartered here. At the impressive<br />
food market, next to the Hospital Sant Joan, olives,<br />
figs and sultanas are all laid out as if for an emperor’s<br />
banquet. An open-air food market is also held every<br />
Monday in the handsome Plaça Del Mercadel.<br />
Lunch is the main meal in Catalonia, and GaudíR<br />
(+34 977 127 702, gaudirestaurant.com), on the top<br />
floor of the Gaudí Centre, is an ideal place for it. The<br />
£35 five-course lunch includes tapas, fish and apple<br />
tart for dessert. It’s served in a modern room flecked<br />
with red and white – just, you suspect, as Gaudí would<br />
have wanted it. The historic, sober Glorieta Del Castel<br />
(+34 977 340 826, restaurantlaglorietadelcastell.com),<br />
is a former wine cellar priding itself on its large range<br />
of Priorat wines. It’s perfect for a posh, boozy dinner<br />
after a day’s sightseeing.<br />
Reus For Sun Seekers<br />
Bustling Salou and serene Cambrils will get<br />
you tanned in no time at all<br />
With nine beaches, Salou is a sun worshipper’s<br />
paradise. It’s also that most uncommon of things:<br />
a mass-market resort that hasn’t lost its lustre. Salou<br />
grew wildly in the 1970s, but has kept its Catalan<br />
flavour while offering value-for-money fun to visitors.<br />
The long, sheltered beaches attract families, and after<br />
dark there are plenty of bars to round off a day spent<br />
lounging on the sand. The beachside promenade is one<br />
of Salou’s nicest places for a stroll or an ice cream<br />
under the swaying palm trees. Golf is big here too:<br />
there’s three pitch-and-putt courses, mini-golf and four<br />
18-hole courses on the fringes of town.<br />
Just west of Salou, Cambrils is an altogether slower<br />
proposition, with historic buildings and ageing boats<br />
lending a cute, faded grandeur. Down at the harbour<br />
you can watch the catch come in, heading for<br />
renowned eateries such as the Michelin-starred Can<br />
Bosch (+73 977 360 019, canbosch.com). Just 100m<br />
from the port, it serves local sole and scampi, sea snails,<br />
Mahón cockles and Galician oysters as part of its<br />
five- or eight-course tasting menus.<br />

For History Buffs<br />
A charming patchwork of classic architecture<br />
and Catalan modernism<br />
Reus’ most famous son, Antoni Gaudí, was born here<br />
in 1852. A great believer in Catalan independence and<br />
culture, Gaudí moved to Barcelona and went on to<br />
become one of the world’s most famous architects.<br />
Sadly he never built anything in the town, but you can<br />
explore his legacy at the fascinating Gaudí Centre<br />
(+34 977 010 670, gaudicentre.cat). It’s a multimedia<br />
museum stuffed with archives, videos and artworks –<br />
plenty to slake the thirst of Gaudí devotees.<br />
Reus also boasts modernist buildings designed by<br />
Gaudí’s contemporaries. Especially worth looking at<br />
are Lluís Domènech i Montaner’s imaginative houses<br />
Casa Navàs and Casa Rull, both of which look like<br />
they’ve escaped from a fairy tale.<br />
Republican Reus endured severe bombing in<br />
the Spanish Civil War of the 1930s, but its oldest<br />
building, the handsome, stone Sant Pere Church, still<br />
survives. Walk up to the font and you’ll be standing<br />
right where Gaudí himself was baptised.<br />
Reus For Kids<br />
Kids will go loop-the-loop for the<br />
PortAventura theme park<br />
You can spot the peak of Dragon Khan, the famously<br />
terrifying rollercoaster at PortAventura (portaventura.<br />
com), from the tarmac at Reus Airport. If seeing the<br />
45m-high track doesn’t put you off, perhaps knowing<br />
its top speed will (a dizzying 65mph). This whiteknuckle<br />
ride has coaster enthusiasts from all over the<br />
world making pilgrimages here, and it’s easy to see why<br />
– Khan has eight upside-down turns, enough to get<br />
your veins pumping with adrenaline and your head<br />
thrumming. If your kids are tall enough and have<br />
a head for heights, they’ll go crazy for it.<br />
To settle down, take a calming stroll through some<br />
of the park’s other themed areas. There’s a replica Wild<br />
West town, a Polynesian beach, and a Sesame Street<br />
zone ideal for younger kids. When you’re recovered, it’s<br />
time to get all shaken up again. Furious Baco is one of<br />
the world’s fastest rollercoasters, reaching a phenomenal<br />
83.9mph, while the Hurakan Condor is a seat that<br />
drops a sweaty-palmed 86m to the floor. Yikes!<br />

PHOTO GETTY<br />
After the misery of Melbourne, Andy Murray heads to Paris hoping<br />
for some grand slam glory at last. Neil Squires crosses his fingers<br />
If Tim Henman’s tennis career was a case<br />
of close but no cigar, Andy Murray’s is<br />
threatening to become a case of cigar but<br />
no lighter. While Henman hit a wall when<br />
it came to the semi-finals of the sport’s defining<br />
events, his successor as the great hope of the British<br />
game has reached three grand slam finals – and<br />
failed to win a set in any of them.<br />
The uncomfortable truth for Murray is that<br />
January’s Australian Open may end up having been<br />
his best chance to break his grand slam duck. In<br />
recent years few players have been handed the<br />
chance to win one without having to defeat Rafa<br />
Nadal or Roger Federer along the way. That made<br />
Murray’s demise against Serbia’s Novak Djokovic in<br />
the final all the more disappointing.<br />
While he could have put his first final defeat,<br />
in the 2008 US Open against Federer, down to<br />
inexperience, and the teary Australian Open loss<br />
last year to the same opponent down to the Swiss<br />
player’s undeniable genius, there were no such<br />
excuses this time. As Djokovic’s long-term practice<br />
APRIL / MAY<br />
THE AGONY AND<br />
THE ECSTASY<br />
partner, he knew his opponent’s game inside out<br />
but still ended up shrinking to the occasion.<br />
Next up in the grand parade of grand slams is the<br />
French Open. How Murray responds in Paris will<br />
be a valuable pointer towards whether he really is<br />
the man to end Britain’s 75-year wait for a men’s<br />
winner, since Fred Perry last obliged in 1936.<br />
“It’s not an easy thing to get to a grand slam<br />
final. It is very, very difficult to win one. I know<br />
that,” says Murray. “Anyone who has played in<br />
three finals would have loved to have won one but<br />
I haven’t. I just need to keep working hard and try<br />
and do it. Australia was a good start to the year.<br />
I would have liked to have gone one win further<br />
but I’m looking forward to the year ahead.”<br />
The best thing Murray has going for him as he<br />
prepares to compete at Roland Garros is that the<br />
expectations are relatively low. At the tournament,<br />
held in Paris’s chic 16th arrondissement and often<br />
resembling a fashion show as much as an elite<br />
sporting event, Murray has never proceeded beyond<br />
the quarter-finals, which he reached in 2009. Nadal,<br />

ANDY MURRAY<br />
‘I want to try and win one,<br />
of course, but if it doesn’t<br />
happen, it doesn’t happen’<br />
ANDY MURRAY<br />
who has won five French Opens, is expected to ease<br />
past the opposition on his favoured clay surface.<br />
The slow clay, it is widely believed, negates<br />
the impact of Murray’s serve and reduces the<br />
frequency of his return winners. Yet ask him to<br />
rank it against the Wimbledon grass or the US<br />
Open and Australian Open hard courts, and he has<br />
a surprising answer. “It’s my favourite surface to<br />
play on, even though my results haven’t been as<br />
good,” he claims. “It’s very different to me than at<br />
the other slams where I’m a lot more sure of myself<br />
just because I know how to move well and how to<br />
play properly on those courts. But I feel like I can<br />
play very well on clay.<br />
“It is more of a challenge because I hardly played<br />
on a clay court until I was 15, so it’s not something<br />
that comes naturally. I obviously have to work hard<br />
on my game and put hours in on the practice court<br />
but I love the tournament. It’s probably the hardest<br />
to win physically because there are lots of long<br />
rallies, long points and long matches.”<br />
Exhaustion should not be a problem. The stamina<br />
concerns of Murray’s youth, when cramp was<br />
often an unwanted companion, have been resolved<br />
through punishing off-season schedules drawn up by<br />
his fitness advisor, Jez Green. He can last the Paris<br />
pace. He has all the shots too. His forehand swing is<br />
almost as good as his backhand these days, and the<br />
passive tactical approach for which he is sometimes<br />
criticised should work in his favour on clay.<br />
Where the doubts remain are over his mental<br />
muscle. At critical times in crucial matches<br />
Murray continues to walk the tightrope of moody<br />
meltdown. At 24 he often still resembles a grumpy<br />
teenager. Last year’s fourth round exit at Roland<br />
56JetAway<br />
Garros against Tomas Berdych was accompanied by<br />
typical petulance. “It’s so easy to see the balls,” he<br />
moaned sarcastically as they turned brown in the<br />
unseasonal damp. “How can I play if I can’t stand<br />
up on this court?”<br />
Murray matches should come with their own<br />
personal bleeper. In Melbourne this year, the<br />
swearing came thick and fast, a soundtrack which<br />
hardly reflected a man at ease with himself and his<br />
surroundings.<br />
There have been other players with anger issues<br />
who have gone on to win grand slams – John<br />

Spaniard David Ferrer in the semifinal<br />
of the Australian Open <strong>2011</strong><br />
McEnroe being an excellent example – but when<br />
fine margins stand between success and failure, it<br />
might be necessary for Murray to channel his<br />
energies more positively. “When you’re on the court<br />
you do go into a bit of a bubble,” explains Murray.<br />
“In the heat of the moment when things haven’t<br />
gone as you would like you can say things you don’t<br />
necessarily mean.”<br />
What the pantomime does show, however, is that<br />
Murray cares. Though he’s already set up for life,<br />
with career earnings heading towards the £10m<br />
mark, money has never been what has driven him.<br />
The goal remains to emulate what Fred Perry did<br />
all those years ago. “I don’t lose sleep over it at<br />
night,” he says. “I want to try and win one, of<br />
course, but if it doesn’t happen, it doesn’t happen.”<br />
The feigned indifference seems to be a defence<br />
mechanism to mask the pain of all the near-misses.<br />
There are precedents he can draw upon as he<br />
steels himself for another shot. Andre Agassi lost<br />
his first three grand slam finals before winning<br />
Wimbledon in 1992. He went on to win a full<br />
house of slam titles. Ivan Lendl lost his first four<br />
finals before beating McEnroe in the 1984 French<br />
Open, the precursor to his eight slams. Agassi,<br />
however, was 22 when he won Wimbledon and<br />
Lendl was 24 when he took the French. The<br />
warning from history is that time is already<br />
running out for Murray to turn the tide.<br />

Uncorked<br />
On a food and wine tour of the Peljesac peninsula,<br />
Rob Orchard overcame some (viti)cultural differences<br />
The Finn and the Scot are chatting, rather<br />
earnestly, about tannins.<br />
“I thought there was nice attenuation<br />
in the ’08,” says the Finn.<br />
“Yes,” says the Scot, “but it’s certainly no Château<br />
Latour!” They both laugh uproariously, much to my<br />
undisguised bewilderment.<br />
I could not be more out of my depth. A wine<br />
dunce myself, I have joined a gourmet trip filled with<br />
hardcore oenophiles. These are people who can say<br />
things like, “I’m getting crystallised pineapple on my<br />
back palate…” with a straight face, and who think<br />
that malolactic fermentation is a suitable topic of<br />
after-dinner conversation. For all my attempts to<br />
guide the banter towards more traditional fields,<br />
it keeps returning to winemaking minutiae – all<br />
“residual sugars” this and “micro-oxygenation” that.<br />
Still, the wine in Croatia is very nice indeed.<br />
We’ve been travelling round the south of the<br />
country for three days now, working our way north<br />
from Dubrovnik, along the Peljesac (pronounced<br />
“Pellyshatz”) peninsula, and over to the island of<br />
Korcula, and I’ve drunk some truly stonking bottles<br />
along the way. There are three major grapes in this<br />
60JetAway<br />
part of the world: plavac mali, an indigenous red, and<br />
white varieties malvazija and posip.<br />
What makes drinking them all the more pleasurable<br />
is the winemakers themselves. I’ve never come across<br />
such a passionate, welcoming bunch in my life. And,<br />
unlike my travelling companions, none of them ever<br />
asks me to identify my favourite sort of trellis or<br />
explain my thoughts about noble rot. Bonus.<br />

(50km northwest of Dubrovnik) off the<br />
former Yugoslavian state-owned winemakers<br />
in 1992, straight after Croatia gained its<br />
independence, and threw himself into<br />
creating delicious, big-bodied plavac malis,<br />
including the internationally renowned<br />
Stagnum range. He and his son entertained<br />
us in his tasting den built into a rocky<br />
hillside, and plied us with delicious<br />
cheeses and fresh-baked bread served<br />
with some gloriously grassy olive oils.<br />
Then there was Luka, the winemaker<br />
at Krajancic Luka (+385 98 427 873). His<br />
base on the island of Korcula is a rustic<br />
cabin on the edge of a secluded bay – we<br />
sat in the sun working our way through his<br />
platoon of wines and nibbling figs, our<br />
peace only interrupted when he started<br />
leaping up at random intervals to recite his<br />
own poetry with great dramatic flair.<br />

Nearby, over at Frano Milina Bire<br />
(+385 98 344 712, free-du.t-com.hr/<br />

a local white, which went beautifully with<br />
the goat risotto that was originally created<br />
by the current owner’s grandfather to<br />
celebrate the first visit of Marshall Tito.<br />
At Ivo Skaramuca’s place in Dingac<br />
(+385 98 243 153, dingac-skaramuca.hr)<br />
on the mainland, we sat and drank at the<br />
top of a vertiginous hillside – the vines<br />
here are planted on 60-degree slopes and<br />
drop directly down into the sea. In order<br />
to harvest the grapes, pickers have to tie<br />
themselves on to posts and abseil down the<br />
hillside. It’s the sort of terrain better suited<br />
to ninja goats than winemakers but it offers<br />
cracking views for afternoon tipplers.<br />
But it’s not just the wines and their<br />
creators that inspire on Croatia’s south<br />
coast. There are some gorgeous things to<br />
see too. Dubrovnik is a wonderful walled<br />
medieval city, where lanes filled with cafes<br />
spider off the wide, central boulevards. After<br />
a tour round the walls and a visit to the<br />
pretty Church of St Blaise, we settled in<br />
for the night on the waterfront terrace of<br />
Nautika (+385 20 44 12 29, esculap-teo.hr),<br />
one of the city’s best restaurants. The views<br />
over the sea and the city walls are exquisite,

Croatia’s terrain is better suited<br />
to ninja goats than winemakers<br />
but it offers cracking views<br />
and best enjoyed over a glass of prosecco and one<br />
of the delicious seafood plates filled with chubby<br />
prawns, fish carpaccio and tasty anchovies. On<br />
a warm’s summer evening this place can’t be beaten.<br />
Further along the coast – past blossom-bedecked<br />
hamlets and the village of Trsteno which, I’m told,<br />
has a 1,000-year-old plantain tree – is Ston, which<br />
marks the start of the Peljesac peninsula. It’s home to<br />
Europe’s second longest stone wall, built to protect<br />
its supplies of sea salt. It also proves to be a fine spot<br />
to sit under the shade of cypress trees and indulge<br />
in a little late-morning grappa followed by a dozen<br />
oysters – Ston is one of the few remaining spots<br />
on the continent that still produces them, and they<br />

At the far end of Peljesac you can take a short ferry<br />
journey over to Korcula, a beautiful island with an<br />
ancient capital set on a little harbour ringed with<br />
palm trees. We stayed at the quirky Lesic Dimitri<br />
Palace (+385 20 715 560, lesic-dimitri.com), whose<br />

break into song over post-dinner drinks, much<br />

gave us a tour of the city, which predates Dubrovnik<br />
and has been variously occupied over the years by,<br />
well, everyone – Venetians, Austrians, French, Russians,<br />
Montenegrins and Brits, sometimes multiple times.<br />
It is also prone to invasion from the two powerful<br />
winds which cross Croatia – the Bora and the Yugo<br />
– and so its streets are staggered to provide shelter.<br />
It has a beautiful cathedral with a Tintoretto behind<br />
the altar, a sign outside saying “we beg for silent<br />
behaving”, and a gargoyle of an elephant created<br />
through second-hand reports by a mason who’d<br />
never seen an elephant. It looks like a badger.<br />
As well as being a bass vocalist and crack tourist<br />
guide, Tony is an entertaining dinner companion.<br />
He took us to the Mate Tavern (+385 20 717 109)<br />
in Pupnat, a heavy-timbered old house with just<br />
one main room, an open fire, 1920s jazz playing,<br />
and a formidable mamma of a chef who cooks<br />
while watching game shows on TV. The dinner<br />
was tremendous. We started with aubergine pâté,<br />
grilled aubergine and goat’s cheese, and followed<br />
with a masterly asparagus and smoked ham frittata.<br />
After a light pasta with almonds and dried tomatoes,<br />
and a delicate ravioli with goat’s cheese and grilled<br />
sage, we segued straight into grilled Pag lamb.<br />
This stuff is revered in Croatia, and with good<br />
reason. The island of Pag is covered in herbs and<br />
lashed by the salty water of the Adriatic. The lamb<br />
feeds on the salty herbs and is effectively premarinated<br />
by the time it gets to the butchers. We ate<br />
the meat barbecued over old olive trees and vines,<br />
then served with lettuce and a drizzle of olive oil.<br />
Our trip drew to an end back in Korcula Town,<br />
and the last night saw us entertained by local Klapa<br />
singers at the hotel. Buoyed up with the confidence<br />
of far too much rakija (the local spirit, variously<br />
marinated with cherries, lemon slices, kumquats<br />
and anything else that can be stuffed into a bottle),<br />
I decided to try to blend in with the vineheads.<br />
The Finn approached and poured me a slug of<br />
posip. I gave it the old sniff and swill.<br />
“I’m getting cheese on the nose,” I told him.<br />
He looked at me askance.<br />
“And, er, almonds on the tongue?” I ventured.<br />
“Ketchup on the throat?”<br />

SPOTLIGHT ON MURCIA<br />
With an enviable climate, stunning coastline, unspoiled mountain ranges and<br />
bustling cities, Murcia has become one of the most desirable destinations in Spain<br />
Steeped in history and boasting a wealth of museums, galleries and traditional<br />
architecture, the city of Murcia is also home to an array of utterly modern shops, cafés<br />
and bars. Just outside the city centre is Mar Menor, a natural saltwater lagoon with a<br />
variety of water sports on offer, while La Manga has a vast array of championship golf<br />
courses to rival anywhere in Spain. With a second airport planned within the next four<br />
years and rumours circulating that Paramount will this month fi nalise plans to build<br />
Europe’s biggest theme park in Murcia, it’s safe to say the region is on the up. So, stay<br />
one step ahead of the crowds and come and see for yourself what all the fuss is about.<br />
Mar Menor Golf Resort & Spa<br />
For total holiday bliss the Mar Menor<br />
Golf Resort & Spa should hit the spot.<br />
Resembling a Moorish palace, the<br />
resort is just fi ve minutes drive from<br />
the beach and is perched on the edge of<br />
the Mar Menor Golf course – an 18-hole,<br />
par 72 course which forms part of the<br />
renowned Nicklaus Golf Trail. The resort’s<br />
spacious guest rooms all feature hydromassage<br />
baths and a balcony or terrace<br />
overlooking the golf course or pool area.<br />
For that post-golf treat, the spa features<br />

La Tomatina<br />
The world’s biggest food fight takes place in a small<br />
village in Spain every August. It may only last an<br />
hour but the bizarre spectacle of a fiercely fought<br />
tomato tussle attracts visitors from across the world.<br />
Well established (and consequently very well<br />
attended), it’s also well worth a visit.<br />
The “fight” has taken place each year in Buñol,<br />
a village in southeast Spain near Valencia, since<br />
the 1940s. The debauchery is all over by noon so<br />
make sure to plan your travel and accommodation<br />
arrangements well in advance so you don’t miss<br />
a minute of the messy action. We suggest travelling<br />
to Valencia a day or two before the splatter-fest<br />
begins, then going to the village on the morning<br />
of the main event. Remember to pack old clothes!<br />

Chopin Festival<br />
Frederic Chopin lived on Majorca during the winter of 1838-1839 with his<br />
lover, the writer George Sand, at the Carthusian Monastery in Valldemossa.<br />
To commemorate his stay on the island, the local composer Joan Maria Thomàs<br />
set up the Chopin Festival in 1930, and it’s become a fixture of the summer<br />
calendar ever since. The celebration includes works by the Polish virtuoso as<br />
well as other composers, and takes place at the monastery so you can truly<br />
follow in the master’s footsteps. There are also art exhibitions and performances.<br />

Cyprus Wine Festival<br />
The residents of Cyprus know a thing or two about<br />
winemaking, having produced the stuff for some<br />
4,000 years. According to legend, Cyprus was the<br />
main place to worship Aphrodite, the goddess of<br />
fertility and love, and Dionysus, the god of wine, so<br />
it’s only fair that the Cyprus Wine Festival celebrates<br />
both deities. The event has been a favourite among<br />
islanders and tourists since its inaugural year in 1961,<br />
with visitors to the Lemesos Municipal Gardens<br />
sampling wines such as muscat, retsina, and a dessert<br />
wine called ommanderia. Scrub up beforehand –<br />
you may be asked to tread grapes the traditional<br />
way, in a barrel with bare feet.<br />

Why Alicante?<br />
Located in popular Costa Blanca, Alicante has a lot to<br />
offer the expat. The lifestyle is relaxed, the climate warm<br />
(with more than 360 days of sunshine a year), and the<br />
city is peppered with palm-lined boulevards, while the<br />
miles of sandy beaches are lapped by the clear waters<br />
of the Mediterranean. In Alicante itself there’s a wealth<br />
of historic buildings, including the cathedral and the<br />
castle, and there’s a beautiful harbour. The surrounding<br />
area is dotted with pretty towns including Denia, with its<br />
fantastic seafood restaurants.<br />
What is there to do?<br />
Ignacio Osle, sales and marketing director of Taylor Wimpey<br />
de España (08000 121 020, taylorwimpeyspain.com), has<br />
some expert recommendations: “Visitors should spend<br />
the day at one of Alicante’s pristine beaches and then<br />
sample some paella, the Spanish national dish, for<br />
dinner, followed by a night at the theatre. If you want<br />
a little more action check out the Terra Mitica theme park<br />
(terramiticapark.com), or take a day trip over to one of the<br />
glorious Balearic islands or up to historic Elche.”<br />
with panoramic sea views. Closer to town, the Brisas de<br />
Alenda resort is surrounded by the Sierra de las Aguilas<br />
mountains and includes access to the Alenda Golf Resort.<br />
How expensive are properties?<br />
There is still demand for houses in Alicante, where<br />
the average price for a resale, two-bedroom property is<br />
£165,000. Osle explains: “We are finding that people<br />
can get more for their money in this area compared to<br />
Marbella, for example, so our buyers are keen on threebedroom<br />
properties, such as townhouses.”<br />
Is Alicante a good investment?<br />
It’s key you choose a well-built property, explains Osle:<br />
“So long as buyers are very strict on their criteria and<br />
research well, good investments are there for the taking.<br />
Houses in the Costa Blanca are more affordable than ever.<br />
But prices won’t stay low for long.”<br />

Why Murcia?<br />
Where should I buy?<br />
WHY TO BUY<br />
Chris Mercer, director of<br />
Murcia-based estate agent<br />
Mercers:<br />
“Murcia is one of the best<br />
areas to invest in Spain in<br />
<strong>2011</strong>. Paramount Pictures<br />
has announced it will be<br />
the new location for a<br />
leisure park which will rival<br />
Disneyland Paris, it’s a<br />
reliably warm and dry part<br />
of southern Spain, it has<br />
not been overdeveloped,<br />
it offers bargain property<br />
prices, and it enjoys easy<br />
access on low-cost flights.”<br />
The Costa Calida is a reliably warm and dry part of<br />
southern Spain, and with more than 3,000 hours of sun<br />
a year, sun worshippers will find plenty to smile about<br />
over here. According to the World Health Organization,<br />
the region offers one of the healthiest lifestyles in the<br />
world. What’s particularly refreshing about Murcia is that<br />
it hasn’t been overdeveloped – there are strict planning<br />
laws aimed at protecting and preserving the surrounding<br />
countryside. It is one of the only unspoilt coastlines<br />
remaining in Spain, there are plenty of rock-bottom prices<br />
to take advantage of, and the area is easily accessible<br />
thanks to low-cost flights from Jet2.com. Murcia<br />
international airport is just over an hour to the north,<br />
while Corvera is even closer, and due for completion in<br />
summer <strong>2011</strong>.<br />
What is there to do?<br />
The lifestyle here is typically Mediterranean, and the people<br />
are laidback and easy-going. Close at hand is the beautiful<br />
Sierra Espuña National Park (sierraespuna.com), and for<br />
sightseeing it’s hard to beat Cartagena, a baroque Roman<br />
city. Murcia itself is packed with shopping options, and<br />
there are lots of watersports, golf courses, museums<br />
and restaurants to enjoy. As for the local cuisine, the<br />
emphasis is on hearty, traditional fare served with<br />
excellent local wine.<br />
Mazarron, on the coast of the Costa Calida area, is very<br />
popular with buyers, and in Murcia city itself you can<br />
find townhouses to renovate and a number of modern<br />
apartments. There’s also a variety of new developments<br />
offering numerous on-site facilities<br />
How expensive are properties?<br />
Chris Mercer, director of Murcia-based Mercers (+34 968<br />
199 188), says: “Although our property prices start from<br />
around £40,000 for two bedrooms, our average sale price<br />
is £105,000, and for this you can get a two- to threebedroom<br />
detached villa with a private swimming pool.<br />
All this can be found on an 18-hole golf course, in an<br />
established community, with great on-site facilities, all<br />
within 15 minutes of Blue Flag beaches.”<br />
Is Murcia a good investment?<br />
Paramount Pictures has announced that Murcia will be<br />
the site of a new entertainment park. “Located about five<br />
miles from Camposol, it will bring much-needed work,<br />
wealth and prosperity to the region,” says Mercer.<br />

BUSINESS HIGH FLYERS<br />
Adele Lock, founder of The Gentry Grooming<br />
Co, has achieved an awful lot since setting up<br />
her business in 2005. But first there’s something<br />
we need to get out of the way.<br />
“It was a life-changing experience,” Lock<br />
says of her stint on the first series of BBC’s The<br />
Apprentice. “Firstly, it made me realise what’s most<br />
important to me: my family. But it also gave me<br />
clarity of thought. Meeting lots of strong-minded<br />
– and sometimes wacky – people made me realise<br />
I want to make something of my life.”<br />
“There was lots of adversity in my life at the<br />
time,” she continues, “and looking back I don’t<br />
know how I got through it.” Her husband was<br />
appalled that she was going on a reality TV show<br />
(“I thought it was a business documentary,” she<br />
recalls), and her grandmother and sister-in-law<br />
fell seriously ill during this period. She quit in the<br />
fourth week of filming for personal reasons.<br />
“It was a double-edged sword – I got some<br />
fantastic contacts, including Lord Sugar. After<br />
I left he sent me a really sweet email saying that<br />
if the personal things in my life hadn’t come<br />
when they did it would have been a different<br />
story. I thought, ‘What a sweetie pie!’ He’s got<br />
a sensitive side you don’t often see.”<br />
And male sensitivity, it turns out, is the main<br />
reason Lock started Gentry. “I kept meeting men<br />
who were frustrated by the amount of irritation<br />
80JetAway<br />
Facing The Future<br />
The Apprentice’s Adele Lock is building a gents’<br />
grooming brand and showing Sir Alan who’s boss<br />
they experienced when shaving,” she says. Lock<br />
enrolled in The Incubator, a scheme run by the<br />
Manchester Business School, and began to research<br />
the subject in more depth. “The problems are to<br />
do with the chemicals, the alcohol,” she explains.<br />
“So we did a lot of research and I became interested<br />
in natural moisturising factor (NMF) ingredients,<br />
which are extremely beneficial to skin with no<br />
negative side effects.”<br />
She put together a brief and then approached<br />
a cosmetics formulations expert, which created<br />
samples over a period of three years. “I’m no<br />
chemist,” Lock says, “but there’s a long process<br />
of revisiting, revising and getting feedback until<br />
eventually you get it right.” As of summer last year<br />
her products are available in House of Fraser, where<br />
she also has two shave centres, and, of course, you<br />
can purchase them on this flight (see p110).<br />
In addition to its product range, Gentry also<br />
has a small chain of grooming salons for men.<br />
The first opened in Manchester and branches in<br />
Didsbury and Wilmslow have followed, although<br />
the recession has slowed down their expansion<br />
ambitions (“A sure-fire way to go bust is to<br />
over-trade.”). Right now the focus is on the<br />
products, which, Lock believes, will help drive<br />
the brand (a range of make-up for men is in the<br />
pipeline) and make it easier to open salons in new<br />
areas. “Brand awareness is the biggest challenge for<br />
us. Outside the northwest we’re still unknown.”<br />
“You’ve got to be prepared for blood, sweat and<br />
tears when you go into business,” she says. “Half<br />
the people going on The Apprentice haven’t got the<br />
first idea of what business is like.” Lock put in<br />
the hours and learned business the hard way.<br />

Roman Mosaics<br />
The UNESCO-listed Roman mosaics near Paphos harbour<br />
are impressively well preserved. The highlight is the House<br />
of Dionysus, which depicts the god of wine, but don’t miss<br />
the mosaic of Theseus slaying the minotaur. It’s not as<br />
easy as he makes it look.<br />
Aphrodite’s Rock<br />
On the coast close to Paphos, this is the spot where the<br />
goddess of love was supposedly born. According to local<br />
legend, if you swim around Petra Tou Romiou, as the rock<br />
is also known, you’ll be blessed with eternal beauty. If that<br />
sounds good to be true, it’s because it is: the seas round<br />
here are choppy, so swimming is strongly discouraged – in<br />
spite of the potential cosmetic benefits.<br />
Where to Stay<br />
The Mediterranean Beach Hotel in Limassol sits on one of<br />
the most beautiful beaches on the coast and is popular<br />
with families and couples, while the Aparthotel Anthea in<br />
Ayia Napa is a big hit with the clubbing crowd. For adultonly<br />

Daily disposables are the healthiest contact lenses but<br />
were very expensive, even unaffordable, until the launch<br />
of daysoft online.<br />
cleaning is the problem<br />
Monthly or 2-weekly contact lenses need<br />
cleaning solutions and a ‘rub and rinse’<br />
before use... a real hassle. Also lens<br />
cleaning solutions are not cheap and can<br />
‘go off’ soon after opening.<br />
But there is more... one in ten people have<br />
allergic reactions to solutions and soft<br />
contact lenses absorb protein which is<br />
never removed risking solutions-related<br />
discomfort. For anyone who cleans in<br />
peroxide and forgets to neutralise the<br />
pain is excruciating. Lastly, there is<br />
the environmental impact of discarded<br />
solutions bottles and the chemicals<br />
themselves.<br />

too. Mani’omio (+39 50 319 5517, Piazza Sant’Omobono<br />
11) has an incredible selection of colourful cocktails and<br />
some memorable wines. Millibar (+39 583 429 607, Via<br />
Palestro 39) near lively Piazza Garibaldi, gets going at<br />
7pm with a fantastic free buffet. Temperatures start to<br />
rise around 10.30pm each night with live music, DJ sets<br />
or karaoke.<br />
Day Tripping<br />
Be inspired at Pietrasanta, just north of Pisa. The<br />
picturesque centre is full of galleries where sculptors<br />
chip away at locally quarried stone. Even the great<br />
Michelangelo came here to pick the best blocks for his<br />
masterpieces. SL<br />

My Perfect Day<br />
Sarah Lane<br />
I love heading out to the<br />
San Rossore estate, a<br />
wide strip of land between<br />
the city and the coast.<br />
Racehorses trot along the<br />
approach-road – around<br />
700 of them are based<br />
here – and once inside<br />
the park you can explore<br />
by bicycle, horse or<br />
landtrain. After a picnic<br />
or lunch at the historic<br />
Ristorante Poldino (+39<br />
50 991 1212) a ride in<br />
a horse-drawn wagon is<br />
an ideal way to see more<br />
of the park’s wildlife<br />

HELPING HEROES<br />
Jet2.com is pledging to support<br />
the heroes who have fought for<br />
our country by helping them to<br />
consider whether a move into<br />
commercial aviation could be<br />
right for them. Jet2.com hosted a<br />
seminar for service pilots looking<br />
to leave the forces at The Aviation<br />
Academy and onboard one of its<br />
757 aircraft at Leeds Bradford<br />
Airport. Following news that 5,000<br />
redundancies being imposed on<br />
the RAF, the session allowed the<br />
pilots to discuss options of how<br />
they could continue their flying<br />
careers with a commercial airline.<br />
LEG UP<br />
For Summer <strong>2011</strong> Jet2.com’s fleet<br />
of aircraft has been completely<br />
refurbed with new ergonomically<br />
designed seating, sculpted to<br />
increase knee and leg room,<br />
allowing you to stretch your legs,<br />
and thinner to create more space<br />
between the seat in-front – all this<br />
making your inflight experience<br />
more spacious and comfortable.<br />
Managing director of Jet2.<br />
com, Ian Doubtfire, said, “Greater<br />
customer comfort is underpinned<br />
by Jet2.com’s more for less ethos<br />
– where our customers receive a<br />
friendly service, convenient flight<br />
times, allocated seating and a<br />
generous 22kg baggage allowance.”<br />

IT’S ALL GO<br />
FROM GLASGOW<br />
The first flight, bound for Alicante,<br />
took off from Jet2.com’s exciting<br />
new base at Glasgow Airport on 31<br />
March marking a new era for Jet2.<br />
com and Jet2holidays in Scotland.<br />
The city, sun and ski destinations<br />
from Glasgow complement the<br />
destinations already offered from<br />
Edinburgh. Managing director<br />
of Jet2.com, Ian Doubtfire said,<br />
“We are very excited about our<br />
new base at Glasgow. We have<br />
recruited a great team of local<br />
people who are looking forward to<br />
providing our friendly Jet2.com<br />
service to the people of Glasgow.”<br />
Steve Heapy, managing director of<br />
Jet2holidays, commented, “These<br />
new flights from Glasgow make<br />
great quality package holidays<br />
available to the people of Glasgow<br />
at great value prices.”<br />

LOVE IS IN THE AIR<br />
Manchester residents looking to find<br />
love should consider a career with<br />
Jet2.com. Of the 140 employees<br />
based at Manchester Airport, five<br />
couples who met through the airline<br />
have tied the knot in the past two<br />
years, with several more in steady<br />
relationships or about to replace the<br />
aircraft aisle with the church aisle.<br />
Our cabin crew couples include<br />
Craig Watson-Parke, an aircraft<br />
engineer, and cabin crew member<br />
Leanne, who met on a Jet2.com<br />
plane three and a half years ago<br />
and tied the knot on a Jet2holidays<br />
break in Cyprus. They now have a<br />
16-month old son, Bradley.
Jet2holidays News<br />
NINE NIGHTS?<br />
According to new figures,<br />
British holidaymakers are<br />
opting for holiday durations<br />
that make better use of their<br />
annual holiday entitlement,<br />
which means the decline of the<br />
traditional seven or 14 night<br />
holidays. Jet2holidays offers<br />
A REAL WINNER<br />
Jet2holidays and Leeds Rhinos<br />
have teamed up to launch<br />
RhinosHolidays, an exclusive<br />
holiday club with a commission<br />
from each booking going<br />
directly to the rugby club.<br />
The partnership offers Rhinos<br />
supporters the chance to book<br />
great value package holidays to<br />
over 40 destinations and help<br />
fund their team at the same<br />
time. The destinations are idea<br />
for family holidays, city breaks<br />
and supporting the Rhinos at<br />
away games. Packages start at<br />
just £169 per person including<br />
transfers and a 22kg baggage<br />
allowance.<br />
flexible durations from one to<br />
42 nights so that people can<br />
choose the perfect length of<br />
their holiday without feeling<br />
restricted, and return home<br />
afterwards without feeling<br />
stressed.<br />
Jet2holidays worked with life<br />
coach Jo Orgill who said: “For<br />
many, a nine-night trip is the<br />
ideal as it enables people to<br />
have a clear seven-day holiday<br />
between their travel days at<br />
either end of the trip. After more<br />
than a week away we feel we<br />
have a better work/life balance<br />
and as a result feel more rested<br />
and less stressed.”<br />
A P R I L / M A Y<br />
BONUS BREAKS<br />
Make the most of the unique way<br />
the bank holidays fall this year,<br />
by only using 14 days’ annual<br />
leave to get 39 days away! With<br />
the extra bank holiday from the<br />
Royal Wedding along with the<br />
late Easter in <strong>2011</strong>, workers are<br />
realising they only need to use a<br />
few days of annual leave to get an<br />
11-day break. And at Christmas<br />
if you fly on Friday 23 and return<br />
on 2 January you may only need<br />
to use three days for a 10-day<br />
break. Jet2holidays offers flexible<br />
durations of one to 42 nights<br />
enabling people to choose the<br />
perfect length of their holiday and<br />
make the most of their time off.<br />
TAKING FLIGHT<br />
The first ever Jet2holidays aircraft<br />
took to the skies in March with<br />
the strapline “Package holidays<br />
you can trust” emblazoned across<br />
the top of the fuselage. The 757<br />
aircraft will be flying sunseekers to<br />
great destinations including Spain,<br />
Portugal and Turkey. This is the<br />
first of three aircraft that will be<br />
sporting the Jet2holidays brand for<br />
Summer <strong>2011</strong>.<br />

PARK LIFE<br />
Why have one home when you can have two? Investing in<br />
a residential park home in the UK could mean just that<br />
Owning more than one home doesn’t have to be as expensive as you<br />
might think. Residential park homes provide genuinely affordable, lowmaintenance<br />
properties in delightful, secure living environments and<br />
many parks have staff living on site, so even when you’re not around,<br />
someone is on hand to deal with any problems that may arise. Prices<br />
start as low as £40,000, so this makes it possible to own a park home in<br />
the UK (either as your primary residence, or as a holiday home) and still<br />
maintain a property elsewhere. We’ve highlighted four great park and<br />
holiday homes to give you some food for thought.<br />
Olympic Park Home Estate<br />
This family-run business is owned<br />
and operated by the Thornley<br />
family, who have over 46 years<br />
experience in the park industry.<br />
Their two residential park home<br />
estates, Delamere Grove near<br />
Chester and Carrwood Park near<br />
Preston, are exclusive to retired<br />
or semi-retired people, aged<br />
55 or older. Suitable for yearround<br />
living, both parks provide<br />
secure environments in tranquil<br />
surroundings. There is a range of<br />
vacant plots to accommodate a new<br />
park home of your choice, as well<br />
as a selection of previously owned<br />
homes to choose from.<br />

SAFETY ONBOARD RESPONSIBLE FLYING WITH JET2.COM<br />
Safety & Comfort<br />
Most of the following guidelines are<br />
mandatory under Civil Aviation Authority<br />
Regulations to make sure your flight is safe,<br />
comfortable and enjoyable<br />
SAFETY ONBOARD<br />
Knowing what to do in the unlikely event of an emergency could<br />
make all the difference to you and your family. The safety<br />
information card in your seat pocket and the cabin crew’s safety<br />
briefing give you vital information on the location of exits and<br />
emergency equipment. As this can vary from one airline to<br />
another it is important to pay attention to the safety briefing and<br />
read the safety card each time you fly. Our crew are specially<br />
trained to ensure your safety and security at all times. It is an<br />
offence to refuse to obey any lawful command of the captain or<br />
cabin crew. Our primary concern is YOUR safety at all times.<br />
MOBILE PHONES<br />
To prevent interference to the aircraft communication and<br />
control systems the use of mobile phones or any other wireless<br />
communication devices is restricted onboard. Mobiles must not<br />
be used for internet access, text messaging or voice calls while<br />
onboard the aircraft. If your device is fitted with a “flight mode”<br />
or something similar you should switch it to this before the<br />
aircraft doors are closed to prevent any accidental transmission<br />
or reception.<br />
SEATBELTS<br />
Seatbelts protect you from injury and you are recommended to<br />
keep your belt fastened throughout the flight, and must do so<br />
whenever the seatbelt sign is switched on (during taxi, take-off,<br />
landing and turbulence). Adjust the seatbelt so that it is tight<br />
but comfortable with the buckle the right way around so that it<br />
can be easily released. Infants travelling on a passenger’s lap<br />
will require an infant seatbelt, which our cabin crew will happily<br />
fit for you.<br />
SMOKING<br />
Smoking is NOT PERMITTED on any of our flights, and for the<br />
safety of all our passengers the toilet compartments are fitted<br />
with highly sensitive smoke detectors. Violation of this law may<br />
lead to prosecution and a substantial fine.<br />
ALCOHOL<br />
Please bear in mind the fact that high altitude increases the<br />
physical effects of alcohol, so moderate consumption is<br />
recommended. It is illegal to be intoxicated onboard an aircraft.<br />
96JetAway<br />
The consumption of any alcoholic beverage onboard other than<br />
those that have been supplied from the in-flight bar is not<br />
permitted and the crew are authorised to remove alcohol from<br />
passengers drinking from their own supplies.<br />
PASSENGER BEHAVIOUR<br />
Jet2.com expects our passengers to behave in a responsible<br />
manner and we will not tolerate unacceptable behaviour. This<br />
includes foul language and any other behaviour that reduces<br />
other passengers’ enjoyment of the flight and causes them, or<br />
our staff, any degree of distress, discomfort or unnecessary<br />
inconvenience. We reserve the right to ban passengers from<br />
future flights if their behaviour is a threat to the safety of our<br />
passengers or crew.<br />
HAND LUGGAGE<br />
One small piece of hand luggage is allowed per person, providing<br />
its weight is less than 10kg and it is no larger than 56cm x<br />
45cm x 25cm including wheels and handles. Any piece of<br />
baggage that does<br />
not meet these requirements will be placed in the hold and the<br />
relevant fee will be charged. Any other excess hand luggage will<br />
be placed in the hold. Light or soft articles should be stowed in<br />
the overhead luggage compartments, heavier items under seats.<br />
Items lying loose on empty seats or obstructing the aisles or<br />
emergency exits are dangerous and you will be asked to remove<br />
them.<br />
ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT<br />
Once the aircraft is at cruising altitude and the captain has<br />
turned off the “Fasten Seat Belt” sign, you are free to use<br />
laptops, CD players, MP3 players, computer games and most<br />
other electronic items. The use of electronic equipment of any<br />
kind is not permitted during taxi, take-off and landing.<br />
COMFORT<br />
Changes in the cabin air pressure may cause some slight<br />
discomfort in your ears. You can relieve this by swallowing hard,<br />
yawning or holding your nose while gently breathing out with<br />
your mouth closed. Flying also causes your body to dehydrate so<br />
you are advised to have something to drink that is not alcoholic.<br />
For your further comfort, please also refer to the recommended<br />
exercises on the opposite page of this magazine.<br />
IN-FLIGHT SERVICE<br />
On your flight we will be offering you a comprehensive choice of<br />
hot and cold drinks as well as a selection of delicious snacks,<br />
including sandwiches and confectionery. Full details of our<br />

Stretch Onboard<br />
Short flights to continental European destinations are<br />
less likely to lead to a risk of deep vein thrombosis<br />
(DVT) than long-haul flights. Nevertheless, it’s good<br />
to stretch out. It’s not easy to walk around onboard,<br />
so for your own comfort and relaxation, why not try<br />
some of these seated exercises?<br />
KNEE RAISE<br />
With your hands clasped<br />
together, pull your left<br />
knee up as close as<br />
possible to your chest<br />
1<br />
Remember that extreme<br />
dehydration can increase the risk<br />
of DVT, so drink plenty of water<br />
and minimise your alcohol, tea and<br />
coffee consumption during the flight.<br />
and hold for a count of<br />
eight, then return to a<br />
sitting position. Relax. Do<br />
the same with your right<br />
FEET<br />
A Flex your foot at the ankle<br />
and stretch out as far as you<br />
can. Bend your toes forward<br />
and back. Slowly rotate your<br />
foot using a circular motion<br />
clockwise, then anticlockwise.<br />
Relax. Repeat with<br />
the right foot.<br />
knee. Then with both knees.<br />
Repeat four times. Relax.<br />
Bend forward and gently<br />
massage both calf muscles.<br />
B With your feet on the tips<br />
of your toes, raise and lower<br />
your legs. Relax. Repeat<br />
several times.<br />
C Clench and unclench your<br />
toes. Relax. Repeat several<br />
times.<br />
D Stretch your toes. Relax.<br />
THREE THINGS TO BEAR IN MIND ON YOUR TRAVELS<br />
3<br />

You will arrive at your destination<br />
feeling much better if you sit<br />
correctly, with your weight<br />
balanced evenly on both buttocks and<br />

A P R I L / M A Y<br />
ANKLE ROTATION<br />
With your feet slightly raised<br />
off the floor, rotate your ankles<br />
10 times towards each other<br />
and then 10 times away from<br />
each other.<br />
SHOULDER<br />
LOOSENER<br />
Hunch your shoulders together,<br />
drop, repeat. Rotate your<br />
shoulders one at a time with a<br />
gentle circular motion, first<br />
forwards, then backwards.<br />
HEAD AND<br />
SHOULDERS<br />
Sitting well back in your seat,<br />
in a comfortable position with<br />
your back and shoulders well<br />
supported, turn your head to the<br />
right as far as you can, then<br />
slowly raise and lower your chin<br />
three times. Relax. Repeat,<br />
turning your head to the left this<br />
time. Repeat.<br />
SHOULDER<br />
STRETCH<br />
Grasp your left shoulder with<br />
your right hand, then place your<br />
left hand behind your right<br />
elbow. Gently press your elbow<br />
toward your shoulder. Hold the<br />
stretch for 15 seconds and<br />
Try deep-breathing exercises to relax. Sit back<br />
in your seat in a comfortable position, close your<br />
eyes and take a deep breath. Hold<br />
it for a while, then exhale and say the word “relax”.<br />
Repeat four or five times.<br />
