Salmon 

Tikka 

• 

By AWARD-WINNING Chef Abdus Shahid 

Prep Time 

25 mins 

Cooking Time: 

10 mins 

Serves 4 

We have all heard of Chicken 

Tikka, but have you ever been 

more adventurous? Why not try 

my Salmon Tikka Recipe... 

Method 

1. Add yogurt to a cheese cloth and drain off 

excess water or whey. You will be left with 

thick yogurt. You can even hang it inside the 

refrigerator to make hung curd. 

2. Wash and peel of the Salmon skin, if cannot 

just proceed. Cut them to equal cube sized 

pieces, remove the moisture from them using 

disposable or absorbent tissues. 

3. Mix all the marination ingredients and marinate 

for at least 2 to 12 hrs. 

4. Soak the wooden skewers for at least 30 mins in 

water to prevent burning. 

5. Remove the excess marinade and put them on 

to skewers. Preheat the oven to 240 C, bake for 10 

mins and then on 180 C for another 5 to 10 mins. I 

suggest you to check after 15 mins.In between you 

can baste the marinade to the tikkas to prevent 

them from drying. 

Ingredients 

• 400 to 500 grams fish fillets 

• 3/4 to 1 cup regular thick yogurt 

• 1 ½tsp. red chili powder 

• 1/8tsp. pepper powder 

• 1½tsp. ginger garlic paste 

1/8 tsp. turmeric 

• 1/2 tbsp. kasuri methi / dried fenugreek 

leaves (crushed) (optional) 

• 1 to 2 tbsps. Lemon juice (skip if using 

sour curd) 

• 1/4 tsp biryani masala powder or ½ tsp 

garam masala 

• 1/2 tsp coriander powder (I do not use) 

• Salt to taste 

• 1 tbsp. oil (can skip if you are using 

salmon) 

• 1 to 1 ½ tbsps. besan/ chickpea flour 

(optional) 

• 2 uncooked poppadoms

The Beccles Halloween Ball is back in town... 

Something rather creepy is going down in 

Beccles this Halloween. 

Following the success of last year’s first Beccles 

Halloween Ball, the Glitterball team are back with 

their spectacular Halloween Ball II on Saturday 

31 October 7-11.30 at newly refurbished Beccles 

Public Hall. This year the theme is circus and 

promises to be bigger and better than last year’s 

sell out event. 

At Glitterball events the guests as well as the 

artists are the stars of the show, so expect the 

unexpected at this quirky bash which is fast 

becoming a ‘must do’ fixture on the Beccles 

calendar drawing an audience from far and wide. 

The event compliments the longstanding and 

ever popular Beccles Ghost walk. 

Glitterball’s Alice Denham says: ‘The acts are 

a closely guarded secret. We’re working with 

local professional cabaret artists to put on some 

spine-tingling performances including a major 

ITV talent show winner - we’re so excited! All 

proceeds go to local charities which this year are 

the Beccles Station project, Beccles NSPCC, The 

Beccles Public Hall and Beccles Lido. 

Tickets are available online now from Beccles Public Hall 

becclespublichall.org.uk, and The Wine Vaults, Saxon and Seasons Gym in

BEST 

BOOTS 

THIS AUTUMN 

It’s finally here, and by it I mean the 

rain. And the wind. And the cold. 

Which means we will all be adding and extra 

layer, pulling out the scarves, thick socks and 

boots in preparation. 

With this in mind I thought I would give a few 

recommendations regarding the best footwear to 

get you through the rougher weather. 

By DANIEL FRANCIS 

First things first; you need to consider the 

material. Tuck away anything made of suede or 

fabric for the next months. 

16

OCTOBER OCTOBER 2015 | 2015 ISSUE | ISSUE #36 | #36 FASHION 

FASHION 

These types of shoes are likely to become 

stained and damp thanks to the rain. 

Leather is your friend during the coming 

months. However, be sure to take care of 

any leather items by carefully protecting 

them with a water repellent. You need to 

ensure you are regularly moisturising and 

polishing them too. 

Boots are likely to be your go to option for 

your day-to-day use. They’re perfect for 

casual events but with the right style, can 

be dressed up nicely too. 

If you want a really smart look go for a 

Chelsea or brogue boot. If you favour 

comfort above all then you can’t go wrong 

with a quality hiking boot. 

There are so many different options in each 

of these styles for both men and women 

meaning you won’t have to go far to find 

what you want. 

Don’t forget there will be the odd dry day 

throughout the coming months and you 

might want to wear something a little 

smaller or easier. 

Even shorter styles, such as penny loafers, come 

in a leather option. 

This allows you to keep it easy without losing 

your style. 

Be brave with colours too. I’ve seen some great 

burgundy and blue leather shoes which are sure 

to help you stand out this season. They’ll also 

help jazz up your outfit when attending any 

festive gatherings (but more on that another 

time)…

By Zee Battersby 

I’m not old i’m 

retro 

I’ve just launched my 

new fashion blog 

imnotoldimretro.wordpress. 

com 

Welcome to my new Bounce monthly column… Ok so firstly a little bit 

about me. I’m Zena (Zee for short) I’m 42, a mother and a grandmother. 

I’ve wanted to start a blog for sometime now, 

for women like myself who are the other side 

of 30/40 and are a bit more on the alternative 

side! 

My aim is to inspire others to swap ideas and 

tips, give each other confidence and more than 

anything i’d like my blog to be a place anyone 

can visit. 

There are so many blogs out there, all fantastic 

for women my age, but I can’t relate to any of 

them. So this gave me that little push I needed 

to start my own which I have 

recently launched. 

Along with this I have also 

been given the opportunity to 

share my thoughts with Bounce 

readers. Each month in my 

Bounce column I will be posting 

fashion updates and ideas from 

my blog, the classic ‘what I’m 

wearing today’ features along 

with real life interviews from 

other women, like myself, who are considered 

“way out there” when it comes to fashion. 

I’m not a size 8 and I don’t have a huge budget, 

but I believe fashion is solely about your very own 

interpretation of something, 

along with being comfortable 

and secure enough in 

yourself to have the 

confidence to experiment. 

I don’t edit my photos except 

for any kind of colour enhancing 

filter! Who doesn’t hey? I’m also 

yet to inform my husband he’s the 

official photographer! 

Of course I will be featuring some 

of my very own fashion howlers as we go along 

just to give you all a laugh! We’ve all had them. 

22


FASHION 

I also want to feature 

you ladies, so if you are 

individual and would 

like to be featured 

please get in touch. 

Along side my fashion 

advice, I have a beauty 

background so I will 

be covering beauty 

and make up tips too. 

It’s not just for ladies… 

Every so often I will feature men who are also 

over 40 and alternative. 

My husband is as “out there” as I am, he’s a Mod/ 

Suedehead and supports all my fashion choices 

(this also includes the times I decided to cut my 

own hair with kitchen scissors… not always with 

the desired results!) 

So thank you for joining me on my journey, tell 

all your friends and welcome to ‘I’m not old I’m 

retro!’ into Bounce Magazine and on the world 

wide web. 

What is a Mod? 

Mod is a British youth subculture from the early 

60s to mid. Throughout the decades pasted the 

mods have re grown and faded and re-grown 

again though. The main draw of Mods was 

their unique fashion style including their main 

accessory: Lambretta or a Vespa. Mods love for 

specific music such as ska, soul, northern soul 

music and r & b also played a massive part in this 

subculture. 

Lots of Love from Zee

Real Brides Q&A 

By Catherine Starling-GUNFIELD 

Catherine from Angelic Weddings gives her advice to 

some of her brides to be in the lead up to their big day. 

Q: “What is the most commonly overlooked aspect of wedding 

planning?” 

A: “The most overlooked is budgeting for those small things that 

soon mount up for example postage for save the dates, invitations 

and thank you cards, bridal dress dry cleaning, dress box and ring 

cleaning. Make sure you have a certain amount budgeted 

for ‘miscellaneous’ expenses. Also do make sure that all quotes 

from suppliers include VAT if applicable, for budgeting.” 

Q: “What do brides tend to leave to the last minute and shouldn’t?” 

Elizabeth 

January - Long Melford 

Church & Le Talbooth,

Q: “Are there any other options/ways which make the first dance 

less daunting as it looks a little nerve racking?” 

A: “If all eyes upon you when dancing fill you with dread think about 

ways to make it more fun or involve Guests. Perhaps have your 

respective parents or wedding party dance with you! 

There is no rule to say you have to have a first dance at all, perhaps 

popping balloons to signal the disco/band is starting and go straight

Q: “Do you use a similar design to your main wedding invites?” 

A: “Not necessarily, they can be quite different in design to the 

invitations and venue stationery as many couples colours, themes 

and style trends change over the course of planning. That said there 

is something rather lovely having all matching stationery as many 

guests keep their save the dates, invitations and place settings as 

keep sakes.”

MEGHAN TRAINOR 

BOUNCE INTERVIEW 

We catch up with Meghan 

Trainor about her whirlwind 

year... 

You signed your record deal just last February 

so in just over a year you’ve gone from 

being a successful, but relatively unknown 

songwriter, to being a Grammy nominated 

global star… 

M: Grammy nominated…that’s me! 

What was it like finding out you were 

nominated for two Grammys? 

M: Epic. A person who makes music only 

dreams… Dreams in life are to get Grammy’s. 

And I’ve done that at 20 years old, now I’m 

21. But, to win it is a whole other game but, 

just to be nominated for the rest of my life, 

I’ll be introduced as ‘Grammy nominated 

Meghan Trainor’. That’s fricking epic! 

It’s an incredible achievement, especially 

considering that you are only 21. It’s been 

such a whirlwind year for you, as you’ve been 

writing for other artists, now you have one of 

the biggest selling songs ever (‘All About That 

Bass’ has sold over 6 million copies), that’s 

your own. 

M: Yeah! I lived… all my friends are 

songwriters and producers and I’ve lived all 

their dreams. They all tell me that, they’re 

like, ‘you accomplished what we try to do 

every day’! ‘Cause as songwriters like, yes 

our goal is for other popular singers to sing 

our songs, but the real goal inside is like, we 

want to be singing these. 

You get to do both though - Sledgehammer 

(that Meghan wrote for Fifth Harmony) is 

getting massive too. 

M: Yes – thank you! I wrote that with Michael 

Keaton’s son. Isn’t that mind blowing? Sean 

Douglas, he’s a fantastic writer. He also wrote 

Glow by Demi Lovato. He’s crazy, he’s great. 

I love Demi. 

You’ve also had artists like Beyoncé saying 

that they’re fans of your music. 

M: Yeah, that, that was huge for me! 

And Michael Buble did a cover of ‘All About 

That Bass’ on Instagram. 

M: I’m obsessed with him. One of my goals 

in life, like off my bucket list, is make sure 

Michael Buble knows I exist and like the 

fact that he sang my song I died. I saw it on 

Instagram and I was just, I remember I was 

laying in bed and I just got up and was like 

‘MUM did you see it?’ she was like ‘I SAW IT, I 

SAW IT!’. Like I’ve went, I’ve been to like five 

concerts maybe, and his was one and I cried. 

I was like ‘oh he’s so good on track, he’s 

probably terrible live’. And he was better 

live. He’s so funny. 

‘All About That Bass’ was so big in the States 

and has consequently gone global. Quite 

often with artists, they’ll launch in their own

countries first and they’ll break there, and 

then focus on other countries, but with you, it 

all just happened all at once… 

M: Yeah, this is my first time being here and 

my song has - I already have two songs that 

are like, huge. Which is crazy. 

‘All About That Bass’ has become a global hit 

and was #1 here for 4 weeks. Did you have 

a bit of an inkling that it was going be so 

successful when you were writing it? 

M: As a songwriter, I went to my favourite 

songwriters and they said ‘how do you know 

you had a hit?’ and I said ‘it’s the ones you 

never guess, it’s ones you never know’ and I, 

we did ‘All About That Bass’ and we shelved it 

and we were, I was like ‘cool song, whatever. 

No ones gonna hear this. No pop star can sing 

this ‘cause they’re all fricking size zero’s and 

no one can rap and sing’. So the fact that this 

was probably my biggest song of life, it was 

one of those, I had no clue. And what you here 

today is what the demo is. No auto tune or 

nothing, I walked out of the studio and that’s 

what I heard and that’s what’s plays everyday. 

The feedback of the song was great, 

especially that it’s become rather an anthem 

for body confidence. It’s just a fun positive 

song. 

M: Oh it’s the jam. And the only time, and I 

still didn’t like it I didn’t understand it. I didn’t 

get why it was bumpin’. But I heard it on an 

Instagram video like in the background and I 

was like ‘Oh I get it. This s**t bumps like… this 

is the jam! I get it now’. 

Have you ever like been anywhere and it’s 

come on? 

M: Yeah, it’s weird. I remember, the only part, 

the only time that I got really weirded out 

was, I was home on my island and I went to 

a sushi place. I walk in and ‘Lips Are Movin’ 

is playing and five minutes later ‘Bass’ plays, 

and then ‘Lips’ plays again. And I was just like 

‘damn I’m famous. Like it’s real’. 

Do you remember where you were the first 

time you heard your song on the radio? 

M: Yeah, ‘All About That Bass’. I was with my 

producer we were in Nashville. And I was just 

balling ‘cause, not because it was the first 

time, but ‘cause it sounded good! And I was 

like ‘Ah I thought it as gonna sound so bad on 

the radio, ‘cause distortion and no like eight ‘o 

eights’. But sounded great! 

I guess it’s one of those things that when 

you’re so involved in a song, you do go into 

a bit of a bubble as you hear it so many 

times, and then if you hear it in a situation 

that’s completely removed from that you 

can almost look at it from an outsiders 

perspective. 

M: Yeah, yeah. I finally just, and when I 

perform it is when I’m like ‘oh this is the jam, 

everybody sing and dance’ and it happens. 

What’s your personal favourite track on your 

debut album ‘Title’? 

M: It changes everyday, but today it’s ‘Bang 

Dem Sticks’. 

You’ve got the duet with John Legend on 

there. 

M: Yeah and I produced that! I was very proud 

of my self and I was like ‘I need one song on 

here that I’ve produced because I’m been a 

producer since 13, give me somethin’! And 

yeah, I got a lot of crap for putting like ‘Bang 

Dem Sticks’ and ‘3am’ on there because 

they’re like, ‘it’s not Doo Wop’ and I was like 

I don’t care! I’m a songwriter, and these are 

my favourite songs and I’m a fan of this so 

I’m gonna put this out. And its been reacting 

amazingly… like ridiculous. My management 

manages him so I sent them the song with 

just my vocals on it and they played it for him 

without telling me and he said I would love 

to be a part of that. I was like ‘oh who? John? 

Sure, fine, let him have it’. 

The album was also co-written and produced 

by Kevin Kadish, who has some amazing 

songs in his back catalogue. ‘Stuck’ by Stacie 

Orrico, for one. 

M: Ahhh! Listen, I was his biggest fan as a 

songwriter and he did Jason Mraz too. He did 

‘Geek In The Pink’ and he did ‘It’s all about the 

wordplay’, that one, Dude! So I walked in there 

37


trying to be cool and was like… ‘I listen I rap’, 

he was like ‘okay’, I was like ‘and I like Doo 

Wop’ he was like ‘cool’, and I was like ‘and I’m 

not a size two’! 

And then we wrote about it and we were like 

‘do you like it?’ he was like ‘I like it dude’ I like 

it. But I was such a fan, like to the end of the 

album I kept telling him ‘I’m still star-struck 

by you’. 

It’s crazy and no one gives him enough credit 

and that’s why this is a big moment for him 

too like, I’m just so happy he’s on this. It’s just 

amazing to see his face at these number one 

parties; it’s just like what the hell. 

Any songs that you listen to and think ‘damn 

I wish I could’ve written that’? 

M: Got it! ‘Halo’ by Beyoncé. What. A. Song. 

I was thinking about this morning like damn, 

those lyrics. ‘Remember those walls I built, 

baby they’re tumbling down’. Also ‘Mistletoe’ 

by Justin Bieber. Thought that was one of the 

best Christmas songs I’ve ever heard! 

That whole Christmas album though, I love it. 

M: That’s where my favourite, my Justin Bieber 

fan is. I tell, his people keep coming to me like 

‘we need songs for him’. I said put him with an 

acoustic guitar stop doing this gangsta stuff. 

Show his vocals. I said he’s got the fan base 

of Elvis, he’ll never go away, but make them 

respect him again. Give him those songs. 

So how’s it been flying around the world and 

visiting loads of different countries? 

M: It’s amazing. It’s one of those things that 

at 20 years old, I could, I can say I’ve been 

Australia, Germany, Italy, Sweden and the UK. 

And a lot of 20 year olds can’t say that. They 

can say they’ve studied abroad but in one 

place. 

Have you got a favourite country that you’ve 

visited so far? 

M: This ones the prettiest, and I’m not saying 

that ‘cause you’re here! This one reminds me 

of Germany for some reason, my view was 

exactly the same. But the food in Germany 

was outstanding. 

Have you had any food here yet? 

M: No... I mean I’ve had like hotel food, it was 

great. 

For some reason we always seem to get 

quite a bad rep for not having the best food 

here. 

M: Really?! Nando’s kills it. 

You’ve got to love Nando’s 

M: All I’ve eaten was chicken from the hotel, 

which was bomb, and then Nando’s chicken. 

I’ve only eaten chicken since being here. 

Do you bring any home comforts with you to 

have on the road? 

M: I have a stuffed animal named Paddles that 

I recently got it’s a Penguin. He’s kinda famous 

on Instagram. I bring him everywhere. He’s 

great. 

Also, my mums jewellery, ‘cause they can 

never come with me, but I love looking at 

these to remind of them. She designed them 

and everything, and [POINTS TO GOLD RING, 

WITH THREE JEWELS] its of me and two 

brothers so its like symbol. Then my father 

made this one [POINTS TO BRACELET]. 

He was a musician forever, and then he was 

just like ‘I want to be a jeweller’. 

He must be very proud of you, especially 

considering he was a musician. 

M: Yeah, he was a band teacher at one point 

but he has always said ‘make sure whatever 

job you choose, just be the best at it’, so 

he’ll always win like ‘the best jeweller on 

Nantucket’ and then getting the Grammy’s I’m 

kinda like, best song of the year, best. Did it! 

Will you do the Sketches for SNL? 

M: Oh imagine! My buddy Blake Shelton’s 

about the host it and he’s like ‘do you wanna 

come do a skit?’ I was like yes call me. 

Meghan Trainor’s debut album ‘TITLE’ is out 

now.

Relax... 

In a busy life muscle tension and tightness strikes 

all of us at one time or another and we may not 

even be aware of it. 

Muscle tension can be caused by staying in the 

same position for a long period of time, not 

exercising and not stretching, repetitive motions 

or anxiety. 

When the body is stressed, muscles tense up, it 

is almost a reflex action to stress. Many people 

clench their teeth and frown while driving or 

working. 

Constant tension in the upper back and neck 

from unconsciously tensing your body can create 

serious muscle imbalance, cause a lymphatic 

drainage congestion, which in turn can decrease 

immunity and the removal of toxins. It has an 

effect on virtually every system in the body. 

Regular exercise and osteopathic treatments 

can help to ease the tension. We can identify the 

areas that need to be treated and teach you the 

appropriate exercise for your condition.

Questions 

for Dr Bella Smith 

Group B strep Infection 

A close pregnant friend asked me today 

about ‘Group B strep’ and what it means. 

You may have heard about it recently in 

the media or have been told you had this 

infection in the past, so I thought I would 

try to shed some light on it. 

Group B streptococcus is a bacteria that 

20-30% of the population (men and 

women) have inside their gut or living on 

their bodies. This is perfectly 

natural and normal. 

Around 20% of women have 

been found to have the bacteria 

in their vagina. This bacteria is 

not sexually transmitted and can 

be diagnosed from routine vaginal 

swabs or from urine samples. Most 

women who have this bacteria are 

completely without symptoms and 

don’t know that they have it. 

A Group B Strep infection becomes more 

important during pregnancy, labour and 

childbirth. There is evidence that the 

mother may be at increased risk of urinary 

infections, miscarriage and a post-birth 

infection of the womb. 

There is also a risk for the newborn baby 

of blood poisoning, pneumonia and 

meningitis. Even if the mum has had a 

course of antibiotics during pregnancy 

they may still have the infection during 

birth. It is important to say that many 

women have this bacterial infection and 

go on to have normal births and healthy 

babies. 

Current guidelines advise that all women 

who are known to be carriers of Group B 

strep, either from previous pregnancies or 

from previous Urinary infections, should 

be offered intravenous antibiotics during 

labour to protect both themselves and the 

baby from infection. 

This is fine if we know the mum has 

the infection but what about all those 

pregnant women who have never had 

the infection but want to 

know? This has recently 

caused a great deal of 

debate about current 

screening for Strep B and 

a campaign called ‘Why 

Guess?’ that you can find 

on this website www. 

gbss.org.uk. Current 

NICE guidelines do not 

recommend screening as 

the advantage of screening has not been 

demonstrated in the UK. 

If you have been told that you have had 

a Group B strep infection in the past it is 

important that this information is in your 

medical notes and passed on to your 

midwife. If you have any doubt about a 

previous Group B strep infection or want 

to find out more information have a chat 

with your GP.

THE SELF CENTRE 

Slow down, Relax 

Listen... 

Summer has come to a close and 

autumn is upon us. The last of the 

harvest will soon be brought in and our 

attention will naturally creep forwards 

to winter and the colder months ahead. 

As the nights draw in so do our thoughts. There 

is a sense of quietening, a slowing down of the 

earth which will affect those that listen. The world 

is winding down in anticipation of its long sleep, 

the air turns damp and crisp, the leaves golden 

and our breath billows like a dragon’s. 

At the end of the month we celebrate Halloween, 

the one night of the year when our loved ones 

can come back to visit us. The veil between the 

worlds thins and we can almost reach across. 

Summer’s energy is waning and we turn to 

comfort and warmth, putting away our summer 

things to prepare for the winter. It is a time to 

ponder and make plans for the coming months. 

As a species, we are often very good at slowing 

down for others, we give our time and listen 

but we are not always as good at listening to 

ourselves. 

44 

So why not take some time this month to do a 

self check-up. Spend a few minutes each day, as 

you wake or just before sleep, to find out how you 

are and make some changes. Slow down, relax 

and listen. 

Your body: 

Lie down comfortably and focus on your breath, 

is it easy and calm or does your chest feel tight 

and laboured? Listen to your muscles, are they 

tense or relaxed? How are your joints, do they 

ache and feel out of place? Does your body feel 

heavy and weighed down or clean and healthy?

wELLBEING 


Your mind: 

Next, clear your head by focusing on 

breathing and then listen to the quiet 

in your mind. Does it chatter away in 

the back ground? Is it complaining 

and criticising or does it praise and 

encourage? Do you like what you hear? 

your 

voice 

Your heart: 

When you have finished, concentrate on your 

breath again and then listen to your heart. Are 

you at peace or troubled? Is there someone you 

need to talk to? Something you need to let go? 

Something you need to bring you joy? 

Now that these tasks have been completed, what 

did you learn? Write the answers down whilst 

they are still fresh. What do you need to do? Are 

there changes to be made? Can you take small 

steps to bring your life back on track? What help 

do you need? Make yourself a plan of action, look 

at each area of life and set achievable goals with 

exciting rewards. 

For new students. Pay only £35 and get unlimited classes for one 

month! When purchasing please quote BOUNCE35. 

45 

With a little effort each day, great changes 

can be made. Good luck!

therapists available to help with matters of

Domestic 

violence 

It’s no longer just Sticks and Stones... 

‘He glared at me, shouting ‘You’re a leper, you 

suck people dry. Everyone hates you, your 

children hate you. You have no friends and you 

will die alone.’ I pleaded with him to stop. I was 

sobbing, but he just carried on screaming at me, 

louder and louder,’ 

The old nursery rhyme of ‘sticks and stones may 

break my bones but words will never hurt me.’ 

may have been good advice in the playground 

but is certainly not true of domestic violence 

where emotional and psychological abuse can be 

more scarring and harder to recover from than 

physical abuse. One of the reasons is that the 

damage is not immediately apparent. Get a black 

eye and the hurt is there for all to see, but mental 

scarring has always been much more difficult to 

define. 

Under the Serious Crimes Act 2015, the definition 

of domestic abuse has been widened to include 

the offence of ‘controlling or coercive behaviour 

in an intimate or family relationship. When this 

law comes into force, the offence will carry a 

maximum sentence of 5 years. 

What is controlling and coercive behaviour? 

The law says that it will be illegal for an intimate 

partner or family member to repeatedly or 

continuously engage in behaviour towards 

another person that has a serious effect. Crucially, 

it is behaviour the offender knows or ought to 

have known would have a serious effect. The new 

offence will have links to harassment, stalking and 

revenge porn all of them already illegal, as well as 

to sexual coercion. 

Not One Single Act 

Coercive Control is a ‘course of conduct’ offence 

whereby it is not defined by one single criminal 

48

wELLBEING 

OCTOBER 2015 OCTOBER | ISSUE 2015 #36 | | ISSUE HEALTH #36& WELLBEING 

act but rather a number of acts occurring 

together, forming a pattern. Not all the acts 

are, of their own, coercive in nature, the act of 

coercive control is specific to the relationship but 

identifying it is not as difficult as it sounds, if you 

know where to look. 

It’s Not About Anger 

The important thing to understand with coercive 

control is that it is largely invisible and has 

very little to do with anger therefore anger 

management will have no effect on an abuser 

who uses controlling tactics in a relationship. 

Anger, quite often, is used as a tactic to 

subjugate, meaning that an abuser will ‘rev 

himself up’ to project anger in order to intimidate. 

The abuse happens so gradually that victims of 

coercive control may not even realise they are 

being abused. 

Low level violence 

It is not necessary for abusers to use violence 

although some do, the threat of it can be enough 

to frighten someone into submission. Low level 

violence that doesn’t mark and therefore leaves 

no evidence is another tactic. Being pushed into 

a wall, grabbed by the hair or wrist, maybe even 

by clothing, doors being slammed in the face, 

being elbowed, rough sex when angry all feel 

threatening and act to undermine and dominate.

The early signs of coercive control can even look 

like devotion. ‘I just want to be with you’, ‘I really 

miss you when you see your friends.’ The coercive 

controller targets single mothers, the newly 

divorced, widows or those undergoing medical 

treatment as they are already vulnerable. After, 

for example, a divorce, it can be flattering to be 

loved so intensely but it is just one of the ways 

of isolating the victim from family and friends. 

When the controller becomes more established, 

he may even forbid his partner’s close friends and 

family from coming to the house or he may be 

deliberately rude or flirt inappropriately so that 

they become uncomfortable and withdraw. 

The abuser may not like his partner working or 

having interests outside of the relationship. He 

may sabotage any attempts at self-improvement 

saying ‘Why are you doing this course? You won’t 

get any clients. You should be concentrating on 

our relationship.’ 

He may refuse to have any bills in his name 

saying ‘ In case something happens to me it’s 

better if the bills are in your name.’ and he may 

put the heating on full blast or leave all the 

lights on knowing you will stress over the bills. 

When he does offer to put the bills in his name, 

he will avoid paying them, arranging to have 

them deferred so the debt piles up without you 

knowing.

Quite often, a controller will borrow money then 

refuse to pay it back or buy something (maybe a 

car) that is meant for the family but then register 

it as his so, when the relationship breaks down, 

you are still left with the bills. The added stress 

only serves further to undermine and subjugate. 

Monitoring and Blackmail 

The abuser will monitor your texts and emails. 

It may not even look like monitoring. ‘Here’s my 

phone, I have nothing to hide, why can’t I look at 

your phone what are you keeping secret?’ 

‘He changed my password to ‘I love (his name)’ 

saying that each time I logged on, I would be 

reminded of how much I love him.’ 

He may blackmail his partner with information she 

doesn’t want in the public domain, for example 

intimate photos. 

‘Revenge porn’ is now illegal but he may threaten 

to post the images or show his friends in order to 

degrade her and further subjugate. 

He may threaten to tell everyone she has a mental 

illness when she tries to go to the Doctor for 

antidepressants so she doesn’t go and becomes 

more vulnerable without support. 

Disorientation and Gaslighting 

Some abusers deliberately wake up their partners 

several times during the night so that they 

become so exhausted they find it difficult to cope. 

They are then easier to manipulate. He may 

try and make his partner doubt her own sanity 

as in the film ‘Gaslighting’ where a husband 

deliberately tried to make his wife think she was 

going crazy by turning the light on and off and 

then denying it. 

Undermining Parenting 

Another tactic used by controllers is in reducing 

the amount of time a mother spends with her 

children. 

This can be done by scheduling ‘couple time’ 

when the children need their mother. 

‘He would deliberately keep me in bed when 

the alarm went off to stop me from getting the 

children their breakfast. If they tried to come into 

the bedroom he would scream at them to wait 

downstairs.’ 

Many will threaten the mother with social services 

or the police so she ends up fearing the agencies 

that are there to protect her. 

Health 

Living in constant fear and always on eggshells 

can cause IBS, palpitations, headaches, difficulties 

in eating and sleeping, anxiety, depression and a 

complete loss of self-esteem. The abuser knows 

this and knows that his partner will find it difficult 

to cope so she will end up reliant on him which is 

exactly how he wants it. A coercively controlling 

relationship has been described as less about 

domestic abuse than being in a hostage situation. 

Criminalising this could not come sooner. 

More in next months issue.

Undiscovered 

Food Intolerance? 

Now before you turn the page, just as you would walk past the supermarkets freefrom 

isle, ask yourself this- When did you last have a headache, feel bloated, or 

suffer a random skin itch? 

Whenever this was it is most likely you dismissed it 

as one of those day to day inconveniences without 

a second thought as to why it occurred. Well you 

may have been right to put it down to that stomach 

bug your mum said she had last week or the stress 

from that looming deadline at work, or any other 

satisfactory explanation. 

However it could actually be that you are part of 

the seemingly growing portion of the population 

with a food intolerance. Speaking from personal 

experience in the discovery of my own food 

intolerance, lets spare two minutes to potentially 

re-evaluate that reoccurring headache or 

mysterious stomach growl of yours. 

People tend to simply believe they do not have a 

food allergy as they are never severely affected. 

This makes sense as the common attitude, but not 

having a severe allergy does not mean, you do not 

have a mild intolerance. 

The most common food intolerances are gluten and 

dairy products, but everyone’s body is different 

so it could be any food group upsetting you as an 

individual. As mentioned earlier symptoms can 

include headaches, an upset stomach, general 

fatigue and skin rashes, all of which may not occur 

instantly after consuming the offending food 

product (in contrast to a severe allergic reaction). 

Because of this a food intolerance is much harder 

to diagnose! 

To date, there is no cure for a food intolerance and 

the best way to deal with having one is identifying 

the offending food and avoiding it as much as 

possible within your daily diet. You’re obviously 

wondering the best way to identify exactly what it 

might be that is upsetting you. You may have heard 

of food intolerance tests available, which you can 

find even on the high street from companies such 

as Holland & Barrett. My research has told me these 

are not 100% scientifically reliable but I will say my 

own test was rather accurate, and identified two 

food groups I struggle with. 

When excluding a food group from your diet it 

is very important to substitute the vitamins and 

nutrition you are no longer getting from this 

food. Supermarkets are very supportive of this by 

providing their ‘freefrom’ ranges. For example you 

can easily replace cow’s milk with goats, sheep, 

coconut or rice milk! 

In conclusion if you find yourself suffering from 

any of the previously listed symptoms on a regular 

basis, you could do yourself a real favour by 

looking into it a little more. 

Remember to do so responsibly, GPs can recommend dieticians to supervise exclusion diets. For more

Your Gut – Your Second Brain 

In recent years scientists have discovered that 

our gut contains a vast amount of bacteria which 

are called the microbiome. The number of genes 

in these bacteria is about 3.3 million whilst the 

human body has around 23.000. The total weight 

of the microbiome is about three pounds – the 

same as our brain, which is why it is also called the 

Second Brain. 

One millilitre of colonic contents contains more 

bacteria than there are humans on this planet. 

One of the important functions of the microbiome 

is to provide immunity (70% of our immune system 

is located in the gut), and this starts at birth. The 

birth canal is filled with lactobacilli – which prevent 

the growth of candida (which causes vaginal 

thrush). Lactobacilli are the first thing that enters 

the baby’s mouth during birth. 

When mothers have C-sections the child does not 

get these beneficial lactobacilli. 80% of babies 

born via c-section are likely to develop asthma 

versus those born naturally, and they are also 

55 

more likely to develop diarrhoea 

in the first year of life, have 

a tendency to be allergic to 

cow’s milk and have food 

intolerances. 

Mothers milk also contains lactobacilli. They 

help to break down lactose, which is the major 

sugar in milk. The first milk also contains a lot of 

antibodies for the baby. Later breast milk contains 

carbohydrates (sugars) and prebiotics which 

provide food for the microbiome. People often 

say they have a “gut feeling” and this is true as the 

brain is connected to our gut and vice versa. 

The gut contains as many nerve cells as the spinal 

cord. The microbiome affects not only our nerves 

and immune system, but also our endocrine 

system. It modulates our emotions, desires and 

moods. 

The microbiome also produces neurotransmitters. 

Imbalances or deficiencies of neurotransmitters 

are known to cause, among other things, 

behavioural problems in children and psychiatric 

problems such as depression.

Bounce 

Timeline 

CELEBRATING 3 YEARS 

OCTOBER 2012 

IN THE BEGINNING... 

Bounce Magazine was created to 

help local businesses to advertise 

affordably in the Bury St Edmunds 

area. The publication was designed 

and launched by award-winning 

businesswoman Rachel Ducker, 

after struggling to advertise her 

marketing and design agency 

‘Apparition’, at a cost that wouldn’t 

break the bank. The intention was 

to create a friendly and personal 

magazine that would focus not 

only on the businesses in the area 

but also one that impacted the 

local community. 

FACT 

Bounce started off with 

32 pages distributing 

500 copies, it now 

boasts 124 pages (plus) 

and has a readership of 

over 35,000 offline and 

3,000 online. 

FEBRUARY 2013 MARCH 2013 JULY 2013 

EXPANSION... 

As Bounce began to grow so 

did its team of local writers. The 

distribution increased making the 

magazine the only publication 

that was available from every 

supermarket including Waitrose 

home delivery. Branded Bounce 

stands where also produced, and 

still sit in Glasswells, Debenhams, 

Palmers 

and the 

Apex and 

the market 

place in 

Halesworth. 

ONLINE… 

As the magazine continued 

to grow so did the audience. 

In March 2013 we launched 

our online edition, which has 

thousands of hits per month. 

This also linked through 

our facebook and twitter 

channels. 

THINKING OUTSIDE OF 

THE BOX… 

Bounce worked with local film 

maker Douglas Wright to produce 

some watchable Bounce Reviews, 

not only could people read about 

them they could watch them too.

DECEMBER 2014 

SUPPORTING THE 

CLIENTS… 

Bounce attended the Curry 

Life Awards in London to 

celebrate the success of local 

businessman Mr Abdus Shahid 

winning a national award 

for his traditional cooking. 

Bounce also supports the 

annual Hobbs Fashion shows, 

Fashion Fusion and clients 

events. 

MAY 2014 

NEW LOOk… 

Bounce had its first makeover in May 2014. 

After being approached by West Suffolk 

College, Bounce were asked to create a live 

brief for students. Editor Rachel picked the 

winning design by student Matt Reynolds. 

This was then developed and turned into the 

magazine you see today. 

NEW AREAS… 

We also now cover the areas of Stowmarket, 

Diss, Framlingham, Southwold, Halesworth, 

Beccles, Bungay and beyond. 

THREE YEARS ON… 

Thank you to all those who have 

supported Bounce Magazine, 

because of you this free lifestyle 

magazine can be sustained, making 

a difference to smaller and larger 

businesses locally, embracing 

community spirit, through a source 

of information that can be obtained 

on a monthly basis. 

Did you Know? 

Most people think Bounce has a whole 

workforce in the office… in fact Bounce is 

run independently by Rachel, who works 

in conjunction with Apparition Marketing & 

Design her primary company.

If you are squeamish please turn the page 

quickly. 

I know I normally give tips and advice on products, but 

since its Halloween I thought I would show you a small 

Special Effects Makeup. 

I specialise in Special effects makeup, specifically for the 

Military and Emergency Services, recreating injuries for 

training purposes. 

When it comes to special effects makeup there are plenty 

of different ways to do it and different products that can be 

used according to what you want to achieve. 

Here I have done a gash down an arm, with blast residue, 

taking a bit of what I do when I work with the military and 

Emergency Services. 

The main product used to make the skin is silicon, and 

filling it with blood coloured silicon, different types of 

blood and a few other products. Here are photos of a few 

steps whilst I was creating the wound.

friends with real looking injuries, you can contact me on:

FOOD & DRINK 

This month Bounce Magazine were 

delighted to be invited along to the 

award-winning Valley Connection, 

situated in the heart of Bury St 

Edmunds on Churchgate Street. 

‘Unlike most traditional Indian restaurants, Valley 

Connection, also known to the locals as ‘VC’, 

pride themselves in offering their customers a 

contemporary and relaxed surrounding to dine in. 

With a recently refurbished restaurant, full 

of atmosphere and character, you can enjoy 

award-winning dishes in relaxing and peaceful 

surroundings. 

The lighting and textures of the dinning room, all 

set within a spacious layout, presents a traditional 

mood that you can really cosy up in. 

Here you can enjoy an up market dining 

experience with menus that focus on Indian 

continental dishes to Bangladeshi cuisine. 

As we arrived at Valley Connection we were 

warmly greeted by owner Mr Shahid and his 

fabulous team. 

After being shown to our elegant table we were 

presented with a vast menu of mouth-watering 

dishes. Indecisive, we asked for Mr Shahid 

to recommend a few dishes to us. Without 

hesitation he pointed us in the right direction. 

Traditionally starting the meal we ordered an 

array of poppadoms with delicious chutneys, 

followed by a scrumptious selection of Onion 

Bhajis, Prawn Purees and Kebabs. 

As for the main event – it was hard to not feel 

like royalty. A selection of colourful, spiced food 

was placed in front of us, including Salmon Tikka, 

Chicken Pordanishi, Haryali Massala to name but 

a few! 

These speciality dishes are all creations of Valley 

Connections owner Mr Abdus Shahid. 

After the recent success of his trip to India to take 

part in the Taste of Britain Awards, new dishes 

61

OCTOBER OCTOBER 2015 | ISSUE 2015 #36 | ISSUE | FOOD #36 & DRINK 

have also been added to the extensive menu. 

We spoke to a few of the other customers at VC 

and here is what they had to say… Andrew states... 

“After trying a lot of curry houses 

in London we appreciate the fine 

quality of the food served here. 

Our favourite dishes are the King 

Prawn Shalsha and the Sea Bass 

Speciality.” 

We then spoke to another couple Bob and Shelia, 

who come at least once a month and have done 

so for the past six years. 

“We love the atmosphere and the 

very friendly staff. We always have 

enjoyable evenings and feel very 

welcome every time we come.” 

Mr Shahid finally commented “Our main aim when 

opening was to create wonderful new signature 

dishes. This lead to the success of our awards.”

Culford 

BY PADDY BISHOPP 

Paddy and Scott’s opened its doors for the first time at Culford 

School on Tuesday 8 September, launching a modern and relaxing 

café for pupils and parents to visit. 

Based in the school’s Sports and Tennis Centre, 

the new facility is a partnership between Culford’s 

caterers, Edwards and Blake, and the innovative 

Suffolk based coffee company that is Paddy and 

Scott’s. 

Paddy and Scott’s café in Abbeygate Street, Bury 

St Edmunds is already a great favourite at Culford 

and everyone is delighted to discover that they 

can now pick up their favourite coffee at school. 

Paddy Bishopp, one of the co-founders of Paddy 

and Scott’s said, 

“We are so proud of this new 

initiative at Culford School. We are 

delighted that we can now offer the 

Paddy and Scott’s café experience 

to all the students, parents and 

teachers at Culford”. 

Shirley Edwards, Managing Director at Edwards 

and Blake, commented, 

“This is a great new partnership 

between us and we look forward to 

serving great coffee and homemade 

cakes alongside some healthy treats. 

The new café is a lovely place for 

people to meet and we are sure 

that the members of the Sports and 

Tennis Centre will enjoy the new 

facility too.” 

The modern coffee shop will be used by pupils, 

staff and members of the Sports and Tennis Centre 

at different times throughout the week. Sixth Form 

pupils in particular will be able to use the space 

socially as well as to study independently. 

Paddy and Scott’s is just one of the new facilities 

available to Culford Sixth Formers; Culford’s new 

state of the art £2.2m Library also opened this 

week providing a stunning, light and airy space 

including a mezzanine available for the exclusive 

use of Sixth Formers.

And now for 

Something 

completely 

different... 

No it’s nothing to do with Monty Python but a 

look at some areas that make wine that you may 

not be aware of. 

It could be surprising to find that there is good 

wine being made in countries in the Far East. 

BY ‘WINE BUFF’ FRED FISHER 

The History of wine tends to be 

based on Countries in Europe 

and the Middle East. Working its 

way from Persia and along the 

Mediterranean and then north to 

the likes of Germany. 

Nowadays we look at good wine coming from 

Europe but also further afield to Australia, New 

Zealand, USA and South America to name a few. 

WHY? 

All you need are the right conditions to grow 

good quality grapes. This would amount to at 

least 1500 hours of sunshine, sufficient water for 

the vines to grow, although not too much and 

the right soils and microclimate to suit the grape 

varieties available. The soils would need to match 

the needs of the vine, i.e minerals and trace 

elements to produce flavours to match other wine 

producing countries. 

It is not surprising to find then, that in the 

vastness of the Far East there are likely to be 

many areas that satisfy these requirements. 

For this article we are looking at 4 countries, 

India, Thailand, Japan and China. 

66

FOOD & DRINK 


FOOD & DRINK 

INDIA 

This Country has a long history of winemaking 

going back to the Bronze Age 2500 to 800 

BC. It was only in more modern times that it 

became more prominent under Portugese and 

British colonists. The main wine producing region 

is Maharashtra with Mumbai being the main 

city. Italian and Californian winemakers are at 

work there, producing some really good wines 

using classic French and Italian grape varieties. 

Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, Shiraz, 

Cabernets, Chardonnay and Sangiovese are 

all used. Previously the grapes were for eating 

purposes but since 1997 wine grapes are now 

grown and the wines made from these will get 

better and better as the vines age. 

THAILAND 

Vines have been grown here 

since1685 being given as a gift by 

Louis X1V of France. Despite this 

commercial production only started 

recently in the 1990’s There are 

about 3 regions in Thailand where 

cool temperatures help the growing 

season, permitting balanced and fruity 

wines. The THAI WINE ASSOCIATION was 

formed in 2004 in order to establish recognition 

as a quality producer. The Monsoon Valley winery 

is one of the founders and innovators of the 

Thai wine industry and most of their vineyards 

are in the Hua Hin Hills. The soils here are loamy 

sand and slate and the weather is cooled by the 

proximity to oceans. Their vineyard acreage is 

about 6 times that of the UK. Not surprisingly 

classic French varieties are grown, namely 

Colombard, Shiraz and Chenin Blanc, the latter 

also providing a delightful sweet wine similar to 

Vouvray. 

JAPAN 

At the foot of Mount Fuji the Japanese Koshu 

grape is grown. It has been grown here for over 

1000 years. It is indigenous to Japan and suits 

the volcanic and granitic soils there. Most work 

in the vineyards is done by hand leading to high 

labour costs. Other methods of training the vines 

are now being used, moving from bush training 

to trellising, the latter catching more sunlight and 

less prone to mildew. The wine is bone dry, light 

and crisp with citrus flavours. The style admirably 

suits Japanese cuisine. Currently a good producer 

coming to the UK is Grace Winery. Although small 

in acreage it is still 4 times bigger than Thailand. 

CHINA 

Wine in China can date back 4600 years 

as the Archeologists tell us. However it 

was only in the Tang Dynasty 618 to 

907 AD that wine drinking became 

more common. Much later in 

modern times French wines were 

imported but this was as late as 

1980. By 2000 with the economic 

boom in China, the home population 

began to buy their own wine, thus 

boosting the Wine Industry there. They 

are now thinking they can challenge the likes of 

France in the quality wine market. As the acreage 

of vineyards are now more than France, they 

have a good chance of succeeding. Considering 

the success of Australian wine, China has 3 times 

more vineyards. 80 % of the vineyards are red 

and 20% white. The grape varieties are mostly 

French, Cabernet and Chardonnay figure highly. 

However despite the vast acreage production is 

much lower, for example, France produces about 

47 million hectolitres while China produces only 11 

million hectolitres. 

Try a bottle of each... 

As I have said before, if you can find them try them side by side 

with say a French wine with the same grape variety.

Mauro is back with another fabulous 

recipe from ‘Upstairs at Baileys’ in 

Beccles. 

You will need half-sphere silicon 

moulds to shape these beautiful 

ravioli. But there’s a twist - instead of 

pasta, Mauro uses thin slices of apple 

to encase a delicious black pudding 

filling. 

Serves 4 

Ingredients: 

100g sugar 

100ml water 

2 apples 

400g black pudding, warmed 

200ml double cream 

100g Parmesan cheese, freshly grated 

Salt and black pepper 

Method 

1. Mix the sugar and water in a saucepan and 

warm until the sugar has melted completely. 

Remove the pan from the heat and set aside. 

2. Slice the apples thinly (about 2mm) and 

immediately dip them into the sugar syrup 

to stop them from discolouring. 

3. Take the ravioli mould and use half of 

the apple slices to line 12 of the hollows. Fill 

the moulds with warm black pudding, then 

cover them with the remaining apple slices. 

Place the moulds in the fridge. 

4. Warm the cream in a saucepan over 

a medium heat until it starts to boil then 

remove from the heat and add the grated 

Parmesan. Stir in and season with salt and 

pepper to taste. 

5. Carefully remove the chilled ravioli from 

the moulds and warm them through in the 

microwave. 

6. Put some of the creamy cheese mixture 

on each serving plate and place three ravioli 

on top. Decorate with some edible petals, 

flowers and micro herbs.

Halloween 

Horror 

The name “Halloween” is a shorter form for 

the Gaelic name All-hallows-evening. 

Originally called Samhain, it was a 

time when they believed the division 

between the worlds of the living and 

the dead became very thin and 

when ghosts and spirits were 

free to wander as they wished... 

So here is a ghoulish classic, 

originally intended to act as a 

hangover cure. 

However it’s up to you what story behind the 

name you want to believe... Happy Halloween! 

‘CORPSE REVIVER’ 

1. Chill a martini glass with ice 

Ingredients 

• 50ml Cognac VSOP 

• 25ml Applejack brandy 

• 25ml Martini Rosso vermouth 

• 25ml Chilled mineral water 

• Orange peel 

2. Add all ingredients to a shaker/metal jug (or 

half a drinking flask if you don’t have either of 

these) with ice 

3. Stir until all the ice has melted 

4. Throw away the ice from the chilled glass 

then strain the mix ‘straight up’ 

5. Add the orange peel for a light ‘zest’ 

Enjoy!

Delicious TOFFEE APPLES 

Toffee covered apples, on sticks! Perfect for when the evenings get a little chilly! 

This month the weather is likely to get a little chillier so we thought it would be a 

great time to share our recipe for Toffee Apples. A perfect little treat that may 

keep you warm but if not at least take your mind off the fact that summer is 

leaving us! 

It is best to let a big person do the hot 

part of this recipe while us little ones 

concentrate on the fun stuff! 

So ask your big person to heat the water 

over a moderate heat and dissolve the 

sugar. 

When the toffee is ready it is time to dip 

the apples, another fun part! 

We will need the big people to bring the 

hot toffee over and tell them to not let us 

touch the pan, as it’s hot! This way they feel 

important. 

Carefully dip each apple into the toffee and 

twizzle it around so that the toffee covers 

the whole apple. 

Once the sugar has dissolved the 

golden syrup, butter and vinegar can 

be stirred into it. 

When all of this has been stirred a few 

times it needs boiling for about 10 minutes 

without stirring. 

When this is done a drop should 

instantly turn into a ball if dropped into 

cold water. Quite a fun test! 

Then place each apple onto a greased 

tray to let the toffee set. They may need 

to go into the fridge. Once they are set, they 

are ready to enjoy! 

While this is being done we need to 

skewer the apples. We need to be a bit 

careful here but don’t worry if it gets a bit 

tricky. 

Basically, place the apples onto a chopping 

board and carefully push the wooden sticks 

into the centre of them so they look like huge 

lollipops!

Autumnal Aches & Pains ... 

Suffering with joint and muscular tension is 

not uncommon in this day and age. 

Ranging from arthritic hands in therapists, chefs and 

those working on computers; to rheumatism in hardworn 

hands and shoulders of mechanics, builders and 

those doing strenuous physical work. 

Looking after the body is so important, we only have 

one chance to do this right, and it really can be simple 

and easy to do. At SK, we have products and treatments 

specially created and formulated by Pevonia to 

relieve worn, tired and seized joints, and have had the 

biological and holistic research to reassure clients. 

One of the most effective products is the Aromatic 

Moor Mud. This particular mud is founded in Canada 

and dates around 40,000 years old – the age of the 

mud means it has encapsulated enzymes, vitamins and 

minerals, and over time, our skin takes in happily to 

replenish dull and sallow tones. 

The mud also contains black magma which targets 

joint and muscle pain, alleviating any joint or muscle 

tension. How you ask? Nearly all of Pevonia products 

are designed to fit with the skin’s structure, the particles 

within the products are small enough to fit through 

the skin’s surface and target the point of concern. 

Moor mud can be put onto the skin neat as an intense 

treatment or put into the bath as a muscle soak to 

alleviate sore muscles and joints. The Aromatic Moor 

Mud Tension Relief Wrap at SK; is highly recommend. 

For those of you who have visited SK and have had a 

body treatment or a relaxing massage, your therapist 

would have applied a product called Tension Relief 

Gel. It creates a lovely cooling and calming effect on 

the area it is applied to relieving any heat or pressure. 

Its main ingredients being menthol, camphor oil and 

rosemary, mean this product is brilliant for cooling hot 

stressed areas. Tension Relief Gel is highly-effective 

at easing muscles after a hard workout and fantastic 

for use on the temples if you have a headache, the 

camphor and menthol work in conjunction to cool and 

relieve the area. 

One other ingredient you will find within the Pevonia 

products and treatments at SK, is Hyaluronic acid. 

Hyaluronic acid is a fantastic moisture binder – it is 

imperative our skin is kept hydrated as this means it 

functions better. Our bodies are made up of 70% water 

and a key aspect of Hyaluronic acid is that it can hold 

1000 times its weight in water, making it incredibly 

moisturising. 

Due to the ingredient’s consistency and it being highly 

compatible with our skin’s surface, another benefit 

to hyaluronic acid is that it 

is excellent at keeping joints 

lubricated and supple 

– very important if 

anyone suffers from 

conditions like arthritis 

or rheumatism.

Stephen John Salon in Lawsons Place, 

Moreton Hall Estate, Bury St Edmunds are 

celebrating their 10th anniversary this year 

and thought they would mark the occasion 

by releasing their very own calendar for 

2016. Not just any calendar though, this 

calendar will help to raise funds for the West 

Suffolk Hospitals MacMillan Unit. 

In 2012 Stephen John launched a new Hair 

Collection in the salon, catering for all types 

of personal needs, but also working very 

closely with the Macmillan Unit within the 

Hospital, helping thier Cancer patients who 

have suffered dramatic hair loss due to 

their treatment. The new hair collection are 

available in all colours & styles, suiting all 

tastes, and helps the ladies feel good about 

themselves whilst going through this very 

traumatic experience, this touched the salon 

into doing something good to support the 

charity, hence, coming up with the idea 

of a charity calendar for customers to 

purchase. 

100% of the money raised will go to the 

charity. 

The Calendar will be displaying their new 

hair collection, very kindly modelled by the 

lovely staff and friends of the hospital and 

salon. So please show your 

support and pop into the 

Salon and purchase your 

Calendar today!

October 

The autumn chill sets in 

By Kate Lines 

Kates Top Tip : It’s your last chance to trim 

deciduous hedges to keep them looking tidy 

over the winter 

Now that autumn has arrived, grass 

grows much slower so there’s no 

need to cut your lawn. 

If however it is mild and you need to mow, 

change your mower to a higher cut. The lawn 

is particularly susceptible to the damage of the 

larvae of the daddy longlegs at this time of the 

year, they eat the roots of the grass. Use a leather 

jacket killer to prevent extensive damage. 

Planting 

October is an excellent time to plant trees, shrubs 

and perennials, the soil is warm enough to give 

them a good start before winter begins. It is also a 

good time to divide perennials that have become 

too large. Lift the plant without damaging the roots 

and pull the young parts away from the old plant. 

They can then be replanted. Plant winter flowering 

plants in the border such as ornamental cabbage or 

pansies. Bulbs can also be planted in borders or pots. 

Indoors 

You can have flowering plants as early as December 

if you plant tulips or hyacinths so that the tops are 

level with the soil. Crocus need to be planted a few 

centimeters deeper and narcissi should protrude 

slightly above the soil. Place the bowls or pots in the 

cool (12deg) for about 8 weeks.

Copeland Interiors 

By Clare Hindle 

I say it every year but it’s true, 

I love this time of year in the 

interiors industry! Now is the 

time when all our suppliers and 

designers bring out their new 

collections whether it be fabrics, 

wallpapers, paint or furniture 

there is an air of anticipation and 

excitement to see what is going to be 

on trend through autumn to spring 

next year. 

It all starts with the annual Chelsea Harbour 

Focus Exhibition and Decorex at Syon Park, we 

are always so excited to go and although we 

have seen leaflets and photos it always great to 

actually see everything in the flesh!

Also GP&J Baker have an amazing 

collection called ‘Cosmopolitan,’ which 

goes back into their archives and strikes a 

great balance between some of their classics and stunning new designs. 

Designers Guild once again have wowed us with their exquisite designs that are so beautiful 

they really are works of art, colour combinations of cerise, plum , limes and blues are all subtly 

put together. 

Sanderson have looked to the spirit of Bohemia and their new collection is inspired by a love of 

global textiles, it is a very vibrant collection and shows well the trend for mixing pattern. 

Following on from their massive success 

of their grey paint range Little Green 

have followed trend and have launched 

a blue paint range there really are some 

amazing shades of various blues that would 

compliment many different rooms. 

So all in all there is a lot to be enthused 

about which hopefully will inspire all our 

customers!

SPORT 

Birmingham are this season much improved and 

much tougher to beat but I was still confident 

walking into Portman Road for a rare Friday night 

lights experience. 

Selection posers for Mick 

at both ends of the pitch... 

It is footballing common 

knowledge that if you win the 

majority of home games and at 

least draw the majority of away 

games, you will have a very 

successful season. 

I write this after Ipswich 

turned this belief on its 

head – by picking up a very 

pleasing and necessary win 

on the road at Leeds but 

unable to beat a resolute 

Birmingham at Portman 

Road three days later. 

The victory at Elland Road 

was much needed to stop 

the rot – or should that be rotten – which Sky 

Sports screened against Reading. 

I can remember Ipswich being horrendously 

outplayed by Crystal Palace and Leicester 

when Mick McCarthy first inherited Paul 

Jewell’s mess but, on almost the manager’s 

third anniversary at the IP1 helm, this came 

close. 

McCarthy reassured us that it was just a bad 

day at the office, that his men were made of 

the right stuff and would bounce back. 

He was right – as he is about most things – 

after a 1-0 victory at Leeds that was more 

comfortable than the scoreline suggests. 

One point should have been three after a hotlydisputed 

penalty by the impressive Brett Pitman 

should have been added to by the even more 

impressive Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Daryl Murphy. 

Last season’s Championship top scorer has yet 

to hit top form. At his peak in the last campaign, 

everything Murphy touched turned to goals. 

Netting for the first time this season could change 

everything but Murphy is in danger of going from 

the golden man to not even on the podium with 

Freddie Sears, Pitman and the fit-again David 

McGoldrick all impressing ahead 

of him. 

It is a nice problem for McCarthy 

to have but he mustn’t be tempted 

to shoehorn them all in or meddle 

with his starting line-up just to 

keep everyone happy. 

Elsewhere, Town do look rickety at 

the back – they always seem smart 

money for a ‘both teams to score’ 

bet if you are of the persuasion. 

I’d love to see Jonny Parr given an 

extended run at the back, but it should be at rightback 

with Jonas Knudsen settling into the rigours of 

Championship football so quickly. 

That would leave the tough choice of picking two 

from Luke Chambers, Christophe Berra and Tommy 

Smith. Again, it’s a nice problem to have.

Action Man’s 

CHALLENGE... 

105

OCTOBER 2015 | ISSUE #36 | SPORT 


You can still support our great challenge 

www.justgiving.com/Sunrise3Peaks 

Well Sir Ranulph Riennes has 

nothing to fear as my somewhat 

diminutive frame is not really 

built for mountain climbing 

but that didn’t stop me from 

taking on my toughest challenge 

to date with the national 3 

peaks challenge. 

This monumental feat entails climbing the largest 

mountains in Scotland (Ben Nevis) England 

(Scaffel Pike) and Wales (Snowdon) back to back. 

This is a challenge that I’ve wanted to do for some 

time and during my new baby daughter Everly’s 

2 week stay on the neo-natal intensive care unit 

at Ipswich Hospital I noticed the Ipswich Hospital 

Charity posters and their new Sunrise Appeal to 

raise £100,000 for the unit and paediatric care, 

well there’s no greater incentive than that. This 

is a challenge that I’ve wanted to do for some 

time and during my new baby daughter Everly’s 

2 week stay on the neo-natal intensive care unit 

at Ipswich Hospital I noticed the Ipswich Hospital 

Charity posters and their new Sunrise Appeal to 

raise £100,000 for the unit and paediatric care, 

well there’s no greater incentive than that. 

Having never even set foot on a mountain 

previously I did clock quite a few miles of training 

but the rather flat Suffolk landscape didn’t really 

prepare me for what was to come. 

Action Man and his army comprising of Aaron, 

Rob, Stephen, George, Dean, Jack, Darren, 

Michael, Isla, Matt and Bren began the journey 

up to Fort William and our camp site at the base 

of Ben Nevis. Half way we picked up our minibus 

from www.busybus.co.uk driven by Frank, who 

knew the roads like the back of his hand and gave 

us some much needed time to rest in between 

mountains. 

A very early start on a Saturday morning saw us 

106

OCTOBER 2015 | ISSUE #36 | SPORT 


SPORT 

quickly gather all our equipment, break down the 

camp and porridge up to the eyeballs ready for 

our first climb. 

A little after 6 o’clock we were underway, 1344 

metres up was Britain’s highest point, quite steep 

to start with the path rose through the valley 

then proceed to zig-zag up the mountain, three 

hours later we reached the summit, the almost 

luna surroundings were far surpassed by the far 

reaching views of the Scottish highlands but 

there was no time to waste, just long enough to 

scoff an protein bar, take a selfie then get out 

of the bitter sub-zero winds and back down the 

mountain, this took two and a half hours, you’d 

think it would be quicker but it’s very hard on the 

legs and caught a few by surprise. 

Back on the bus for a carb loading lunch and 

some rest whilst we drove five hours South to 

Scaffel Pike. Straight off the bus and straight up 

the mountain just in time to watch the sunset 

over the Lake District but that left coming down 

rather tricky with just the narrow light of our head 

torches piercing the darkness. 

After another few hours of broken sleep on the 

bus we reached Snowdon in North Wales, taking 

the longer but easier minors path on the way 

up (however this is still very tricky towards the 

top) we reached the peak in two hours, our third 

summit within 24hrs was greeted by a wave 

of exhaustion, elation, relief and joy only to be 

disheartened to discover the summit café (to 

which there is actually a train!) wouldn’t open for 

another two hours. 

So back we went this time down the shorter but 

more challenging Pyg trail with just enough in 

the legs to finish with a sprint finish. In total we 

walked 30 miles, 67,000 steps and the equivalent 

of 783 stories high! This amazing challenge was 

a monstrous physical and mental challenge but 

great fun was had by all along the way and most 

importantly we raised almost £7000 for the 

Sunrise Appeal.

Fitness advice from 

Abbeycroft Leisure... 

Bring a friend: Working out with 

someone else is a great motivator. Not 

only is there an element of friendly 

competition, but there’s also now 

someone who you don’t want to let 

down. Unfortunately, we let ourselves 

down all the time and make excuses 

for 

Set achievable goals: Don’t set 

yourself up to fail. By giving yourself 

unachievable targets, you 

may lose the drive and 

will you need to reach 

why we can’t do things; but we’re 

more committed to our friends. 

Pack your bag: A simple one, 

but effective. Pack your back for 

exercise the night before. That way, 

you’re ready to roll out of bed and 

get moving, or 

grab the bag after 

work. Keep the 

momentum going 

and don’t let having 

to get everything 

together when bed 

is more comfortable 

be an option! 

Track your progress: 

Make a check list and tick 

off your progress. If you 

have visible evidence of 

your exercise, you’ll be 

more inclined to keep 

moving forward. Any days 

you don’t exercise or train, 

mark with a big red 

X – after seeing a 

few of those, you’ll 

want to get back 

out there!

October OCTOBER 2015 2015 | ISSUE | ISSUE #36 #36 | SPORT 

By Alex Scott-Ruddock 

Can anyone stop 

LEWIS HAMILTON? 

Can anyone stop Lewis Hamilton’s 

charge towards the 2015 Formula 

1 World Championship? This is the 

question on both media and fellow 

driver’s lips. 

This season unlike last, has seen Lewis 

get stronger throughout the middle 

stages. 

Even in Hungary when it looked like 

he would drop points to Nico Rosbery 

(his main challenger) it was Nico who 

then suffered late on in the race to drop 

behind Lewis and thus he extended his 

lead even when no one had thought he 

would do. 

The Italian Grand Prix was really where 

114

October OCTOBER 2015 2015 | ISSUE | ISSUE #36 #36 | SPORT 

SPORT 

Lewis shone and made his biggest title 

move. 

Having dominated every single practice 

session, Lewis went and put his car on 

Pole Position. What made this even 

better for him was that Kimi Raikkonen 

then went and put his car 2nd on the 

grid. 

Thus Lewis now had an even larger gap 

than usual to his team mate. Kimi’s start 

at the Italian Grand Prix was however 

awful. His car bogged down on the 

line and by the end of the start/finish 

straight he was stone cold last. 

This meant Lewis would potentially have 

to fight even harder to keep his team 

mate behind him. 

This however was not an issue. Nico also 

went backwards at the start of the race 

and he struggled to get past the cars in 

front of him. 

Lewis meanwhile was cruising into the 

lead of the race. Everything was looking 

great for Lewis...that was until near the 

end a radio call came in from his Race 

Engineer. 

This radio call was very strange as it told 

him he really needed to push to the end 

of the race – even though Lewis was 21 

seconds clear of 2nd place. 

Lewis Hamilton’s win in Italy was very 

good and usually would have been a 

good result having beaten his team mate. 

What made it a great result however 

was that Nico Rosberg’s engine blew up 

in flames whilst he was chasing down 

Sebastian Vettel in his Ferrari 6 laps from 

the end. 

This rare failure of the Mercedes engine 

now means that Lewis Hamilton has a 

53 point lead in the Championship race. 

This means he can fail to finish twice and 

still be in 

the lead. 

With 7 races remaining (including the 

Singapore Grand Prix this weekend 

as of writing this) there are still 200 

points available which means the title is 

nowhere near won. 

It does however mean Lewis Hamilton 

is in a great position to do what he did 

not manage to do in 2009 when he was 

the reigning World Champion...that is to 

defend his World Championship. 

Keep watching live from the weekend 

of 18th September to see what happens 

next. 

It later turned out that there was a tyre 

pressure problem which was flagged by 

one of the stewards and after 4 hours 

of deliberating with Mercedes and Pirelli 

(the tyre supplier) following the race 

finish, the race result stood.

TheAtre 

Royal 

By Nicki Dixon 

This autumn at the Theatre Royal is 

full of performances to tempt you out 

on the darker evenings. 

William Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale is 

brought to the stage from 6 to 10 October 

courtesy of Northern Broadsides and is a 

rich tale of romance, jealousy, love and 

redemption. 

King Leontes falsely accuses his Queen of infidelity 

with his closest friend and condemns the newborn 

to death. But the child, Perdita, survives and what 

follows is a beautiful and beguiling love story where 

the cold hand of winter gives way to the vibrancy 

of spring. 

In a new production of the iconic film, It’s A 

Wonderful Life, this production is told as a radio 

play (21 October), complete with sound effects live 

on stage. This loving tribute to the golden era of 

the wireless is a fresh take on a heart-warming and 

timely classic loved by all. 

Following this Up In Arms return to Bury with 

Eventide (22 to 24 October) which tells the story of 

three people whose worlds are disappearing. 

Their tales unfold in the heart of the Hampshire 

countryside but 

is that heart still 

beating? And 

for younger 

theatregoers we 

have the colourful 

and fun story of Marty Mcdonald’s Farm, a brilliant 

way to kick off the half term week on 25 October. 

Cbeebies Justin Fletcher is the voice of Pongo 

the Pig in this adventure featuring songs, fun and 

laughter! (please note Justin does into appear in 

person). 

And rounding off the month, and just in time for 

Halloween, Middle Ground Theatre Company spook 

and scare with a double bill featuring Jack Shephard 

(Wycliffe) from 27 to 31 October. 

Charles Dickens’ The Signalman is an unnerving tale 

of a tormented signalman haunted by visions of 

impending disaster. 

The second play in the double bill is The Waiting 

Room and this will be its world stage premiere 

– telling the tale of a man who has missed his 

connection and is forced to spend the night alone in 

an old station waiting room. A perfect way to spend 

a dark autumn evening!

Music 

Oh, hi. I’m the new kid – let’s 

cut straight to the chase and 

document some of our region’s 

new music. 

White Fright are the reincarnation of the 

formerly-named garage trio King Blood - the 

band, who recently completed a short tour 

of the region and London, made a sweaty 

hometown return to the Rehearsal Rooms in 

Bury St Edmunds. 

Aaron Powell, lead vocalist / guitarist, 

updated me on their time in Falmouth 

recording the new record, which is due out 

next year: 

“The new sound is a massive movement… 

King Blood was a band that allowed us to 

explore what we wanted to be, but White 

Fright have a very definitive direction that 

we’re heading in.” 

Further up East, in the depths of Norfolk’s 

dense woodland, comes a captivating (yet 

White Fright 

equally haunting) birdsong from Phoebe 

Robinson. The indie-folk songstress has 

received previous BBC6 Music airtime with 

her debut EP ‘For Now’ - a self-released, 

handmade record that had a limited batch. 

It’s still available for streaming on Soundcloud, 

too, so be sure to indulge. 

Combining the fragile narrative style of 

Vashti Bunyan with modern tech, she’s been 

venturing into electronic territory as of late, 

most recently at a headline show in Norwich 

with homemade film projections across the 

stage. 

A true artist in multiple formats, one to keep 

an ear out for - She’s currently working on 

new material whilst studying at Goldsmiths 

University. 

See you next month - Jack

Adventures 

MY ROAD TRIP… 

Been a bloomin’ good month for me, 

I went on a UK road trip adventure. 

I was super excited as we set off from home… me… 

I was on the back seat, nice and safe in my little red 

harness. After what felt like a lifetime of driving the 

car stopped. Yes! Day one was a night in a Cabin, I 

made myself right at home of course, but little did I 

know this was just a stop over and we weren’t there 

for long. 

Day two and in the bloomin’ car again… as we pass a 

massive stone circle I wondered where we were off 

too? We travelled further and further and the roads 

became narrower. 

Suddenly a loud bang and a funny feeling takes over 

the car. I am lifted up out of the machine and tied to 

a gate in the field only to see the tire flat, uff and I 

meet flat! I’m amazed that a spare is fixed so quickly 

and we’re on the road again. This time when we get 

to our destination I see my Aunty Anna and Uncle 

Dan… we’re in Devon… Kingsbridge to be exact! 

After two days of walkies and sightseeing… yep, 

we’re back in that car again! 

This time we end up in Cornwall… surrounded by 

boats and lots and lots of rain! After another few 

days here and more walks and not forgetting chips 

from the pubs we visit… yep… car time. 

After a brief stop in Glastonbury, a visit to a witches 

shop and a trip to the Tor we set up camp in a Bell 

tent near Salisbury. Got to say bloomin’ cold in a tent 

this time of year so I made sure I was nestled in the 

middle of the bed. The next day we visit Avebury 

and have a bowl of water in the most haunted pub 

in England, scary stuff, I felt my fur stand on end at 

one point. 

I was tremendously happy to be taken on this 

holiday, huff I usually get left at home. It has to be 

said sometimes the UK ones are the best ones.

Consultant vascular surgeon Michael Gaunt specialises in varicose and thread veins. 

He is a leading venous expert, experienced in treating varicose veins with both the 

Endovenous laser and ClariVein techniques. Varicose veins are often considered a 

cosmetic condition but if neglected can result in complications. Minimally invasive
