Chicken in a<br />
Cashew Nut Sauce<br />
By AWARD-WINNING Chef Abdus Shahid<br />
Method<br />
1. Put 100g of the cashew nuts into a bowl and add<br />
warm water to soak them for two hours. Drain and<br />
place them in a blender or food processor, adding a<br />
little warm water. Blitz to a thick, smooth paste. Set<br />
aside. Place 25g more of the cashew nuts in a small<br />
frying pan and stir over a medium heat until toasted.<br />
Set aside.<br />
2. Heat a small amount of the oil in the same pan<br />
and cook the sliced onion until crisp. Drain on kitchen<br />
paper and set aside. In a large frying pan, dry-roast<br />
the garlic, ginger, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, dried<br />
chillies, cloves and cinnamon over a low heat for five<br />
minutes, stirring. Add the coconut, 75g more of the<br />
cashew nuts and the chopped onions and roast for<br />
10 minutes more, stirring all the time. Remove from<br />
the heat and leave to cool. Grind the mixture either in a<br />
blender or food processor, adding 150–250ml water, to a<br />
very smooth consistency.<br />
3. Heat the remaining oil in a wide cooking pot, add<br />
the blended spice mixture and fry for 10 minutes over<br />
a low heat. Add the ground cashew paste with some<br />
salt and fry for two minutes, adding the green chillies.<br />
Increase the heat to medium-high, and add the chicken<br />
pieces. Fry for five minutes, then add the remaining<br />
un-toasted cashews. Stir-fry for a minute or so, then add<br />
600ml of water. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and<br />
simmer for 10–15 minutes, until the chicken is tender and<br />
cooked through.<br />
Ingredients<br />
• 250g cashew nuts<br />
• 100ml vegetable oil<br />
• 2 onions, chopped, plus 2 onions, finely<br />
sliced<br />
• 12 garlic cloves<br />
• 2.5cm piece of root ginger, chopped<br />
• 2 tbsp coriander seeds<br />
• 1 tsp cumin seeds<br />
• 4 dried red chillies<br />
• 6 cloves<br />
• 8cm cinnamon stick<br />
• 100g freshly grated coconut<br />
• Salt<br />
• 2 green chillies, finely chopped<br />
• 1kg boneless chicken thighs and legs, cut<br />
into 5cm pieces<br />
• 3 tbsp yogurt<br />
4. Serve with a dollop of yogurt, the reserved toasted<br />
cashew nuts and the crispy fried onions.<br />

The Big Jam Sandwich... locals gather to raise money for<br />
Bramfield Primary School at Halesworth’s New Cut...<br />
The Big Jam Sandwich was kicked off by the<br />
pure talent of Matt Shepherd along with his band<br />
Henry and Carl. Launching his debut album he was<br />
then joined on stage by Jay, Till and Rory of Cove<br />
Hithe, sharing their brilliance with rich and delicate<br />
acoustic harmonies. Cove Hithe then returned<br />
for their own performance and had the crowd<br />
clapping and cheering the whole way through.<br />
Performing live at their first gig, 12 budding<br />
Bramfrield students took to the stage singing<br />
Matt’s song ‘Hangover”. They then proceeded to<br />
excitedly sell their new single to their new adoring<br />
fans at the Big Jam Sandwich.<br />
With LED finger lights secured, the party was in<br />
full swing, as energetic 6 piece brass covers band<br />
TURNTABLE took to the stage. The fever pitched<br />
finale had children, teachers, parents and friends<br />
all dancing in their seats, the aisles and on stage to<br />
Uptown Funk!<br />
£3700 WAS RAISED during the event - all proceeds will go to BRAMFIELD PRIMARY SCHOOL<br />
a big thank you GOES OUT to all WHO WERE involved!<br />

THE<br />
DENIM<br />
LOOK<br />
Denim is a back in a big way for the<br />
Spring / Summer <strong>2015</strong> season.<br />
This might sound strange considering heavy<br />
jackets and jeans aren’t obvious go to items<br />
as the temperature rises (that’s not to say you<br />
shouldn’t own both of these items).<br />
Then again, we all know summer doesn’t<br />
necessarily mean three months of sun.<br />
By DANIEL FRANCIS<br />
Add to that the fact that designers are being<br />
much more creative with their use of denim<br />
and you’ve got a variety of denim items at your<br />
fingertips…<br />

This light denim dress from Anna is perfect<br />
for a casual summer day. Perfect on its<br />
own or easily dressed up with some<br />
colourful jewellery.<br />
Denim shirts have seen a return<br />
in recent years. This one from<br />
H&M is a great choice for those<br />
slightly cooler evenings spent in<br />
pub gardens or at BBQs.<br />
River Island is offering these white<br />
denim shorts which can be matched<br />
with any style. Pair with a basic vest<br />
for a day at the beach or bright<br />
and colourful top for a more stand<br />
out look.<br />
For those who can’t pull themselves<br />
away from their ever reliable jeans try a pair of<br />
denim shorts. This acid wash pair from Topman<br />
should serve as a great substitute.<br />
If none of these options strike your fancy just<br />
head down to the high-street and you’re sure<br />
to find something that suits your style; from<br />
shirts, shorts to an endless list of accessories all<br />
now coming in a denim option. In particular, the<br />
distressed and faded look seems to be making<br />
waves again.<br />

Rachel Ducker interviews Suffolk’s chef to the celebrities,<br />
Franck Pontais...<br />
For over twenty years, Franck<br />

delicatessen food.<br />
Since then, Franck’s published his first book and<br />

Q: How did you get into cooking?<br />
I went to work to be a qualified butcher at the<br />
age of 14, from the butcher shop I was preparing<br />
ready meal dinners to take away for a couple of<br />
elderly people. I was really interested in cooking<br />
and I enrolled in to a famous culinary school in<br />
Paris for 5 years after that, the rest is history…<br />
In 2005, Franck decid<br />
Q: What brought you to England?<br />
I was working at the time with “A Meilleur ouvrier<br />
De france“ and passed with success in my first<br />
culinary competition; I was also leader of my class<br />
and always looking out for challenges. One day<br />
the chef executive of Harrod’s in London called<br />
the school and was looking to extend his brigade<br />
in Knightsbridge, I went and never came back.<br />
Q: What has been the highlight of<br />
your career to date?<br />
There are so many, on a personal level, I did enjoy<br />
taking part of the program “iron chef UK“ for<br />
ITV. It was a great experience in itself and I had<br />
to really push the limits for the competition. I did<br />
win the challenge, but above all, it did bring me<br />
confidence and dexterity, something that we all<br />
need.<br />
Q: How do you describe your<br />
cooking style?<br />
My cooking style is very clean, using the very best<br />
of the ingredients in season, with a little emphasis<br />
on the presentation. I would call it a modern<br />
European style.<br />
Q: How and where can we sample<br />
some of your food dishes?<br />
I am specialise in private dining, so the best way<br />
to sample my food would be to invite me to your<br />
house and let me cook for you. Don’t wait for a<br />
special occasion either! I am very affordable, you<br />
are looking in a region of £50.00 per person for a<br />
3 courses meal in your house, give me a try!<br />
Q: What is your signature dish?<br />
It’s a dessert inspired by the South of France.<br />
Blackcurrant mousse set in a “Verrine” glass with<br />

a sharp lemon posset, semi set mango jam,<br />
lemon and lavender shortbread.<br />
Q: Have you ever considered<br />
opening your own restaurant?<br />
I had a couple of “pop up“ restaurants in London<br />
and it was a great experience. However, this is not<br />
for me, I do a lot of travelling all over the UK and<br />
abroad and I love meeting people.<br />

Q: What’s the biggest challenge<br />
you come up against as a chef<br />
living in Suffolk?<br />
Although Suffolk, Norfolk and Essex are very<br />
open in terms of embracing changes and different<br />
cultures, they are also very attached to their<br />
roots, it did take some time to be recognised<br />
and appreciated.

Q: Do you feel being French helps<br />
you as a chef in England or hinders<br />
you?<br />
It depends; it certainly did 20 years ago but the<br />
times have changed. The vast amount of culinary<br />
programmes on TV have changed the perception<br />
of cooking, i’m not sure if the job as a chef<br />
became more of a entertainment show than a<br />
respectful job in peoples minds, I don’t know, we<br />
will see in the years to come… The main thing is to<br />
stay true to yourself at all times.<br />
005, Franck decid<br />
Q: You have cooked for many<br />
celebrities, who is the most famous<br />
person you have cooked for?<br />
I was part of the chefs who catered for the<br />
Stella McCartney wedding on the isle of Bute in<br />
Scotland. I will always remember the tap on a<br />
back from Sir Paul Mc Cartney and cooking all<br />
week long for my “Teen Idol“ Madonna.<br />
Q: Would you ever consider<br />
becoming a celebrity chef<br />
yourself?<br />
You can’t consider and clutter your mind with<br />
such a thing, I just want to enjoy cooking and<br />
embrace every opportunity, and the Journey of<br />
a chef is fantastic. “Celebrity Chef“ is just a label.<br />
I am already a celebrity through the eyes of my<br />
little boy Jack, and that’s essential!<br />
Q: What can we look forward to<br />
seeing from you in the near future?<br />
I am also a business professor at Grimsby institute<br />
and work as a development and innovation<br />
chef for Koppert Cress (micro greens grower).<br />
Consultancy work is very challenging and<br />
fulfilling, you might find my recipes on a famous<br />
supermarket magazine very soon! Or at the<br />
university doing some motivational talks.<br />

Questions<br />
for Dr Bella Smith<br />
1) How to detect a serious illness<br />
in babies?<br />
It can be very frightening when your child is ill<br />
and even with a medical degree I sometimes am<br />
not sure when to get my children checked. Often<br />
I turn to my husband for a more objective view!<br />
The best advice really is to trust your instinct as<br />
a parent.<br />
You know your child better than<br />
anyone and if you feel they are not<br />
themselves then get them checked.<br />
Signs to look out for are a change in<br />
behavior or appearance.<br />
They may have a different high-pitched<br />
inconsolable cry, a high fever, they<br />
may not be feeding as much as usual<br />
or vomiting repeatedly. Check to see if<br />
your child is more sleepy or drowsy than normal<br />
or seems more floppy.<br />
For it to be a febrile convulsion the fit will last <<br />
20 mins and the baby returns entirely to normal<br />
after the fit has settled.<br />
To watch a child fitting, especially when it is<br />
unexpected is terrifying, as they will arch their<br />
heads back and all their limbs will shake. They<br />
may be asleep for some time afterwards and may<br />
have wet themselves.<br />
Febrile convulsions can be the<br />
first sign of illness in around<br />
30% of cases but others may<br />
have a known upper respiratory<br />
infection. Febrile convulsions<br />
can run in families and if a child<br />
has had one fit they are at a<br />
higher risk of having more in<br />
the future. If it is the first time a<br />
child has had a fit they must be<br />
seen by a medical professional<br />
as conditions such a meningitis or a urinary<br />
infection need to be excluded.<br />
Look over their body for a rash or even just a<br />
change in the colour of their skin. Feel their skin<br />
– it can be a worrying sign if your baby has very<br />
cold hands or feet. The younger your child is the<br />
lower the threshold is for seeking medical help.<br />
2) Febrile convulsions<br />
A febrile convulsion is when an otherwise healthy<br />
baby starts to fit due to a high temperature or<br />
illness, most commonly in the 2nd year of life but<br />
can go up to 5 years old.<br />
In order to prevent a febrile convulsion try to<br />
manage a high fever with paracetamol that<br />
should help to bring the fever down. Keeping<br />
the child cool by removing extra clothing and<br />
bed linen may also help prevent the child from<br />
overheating but extreme methods of cooling is<br />
not recommended. Most children who have a<br />
febrile convulsion will make a full recovery.<br />

Finding your inner<br />
Confidence<br />
The self centre aims to create an<br />
environment in which everyone<br />
feels comfortable and connected,<br />
hoping that you can be yourself!<br />
With so many distractions, be it demands from<br />
family, deadlines at work and not to mention<br />
asocial life, time for one’s self often seems to go<br />
the bottom of the list. The self centre offers the<br />
chance to take time needed for yourself, resulting<br />
in positive experiences for you and those around<br />
you.<br />
Liz Proctor, a trained coach who understands<br />
the need for a fulfilling work life and a satisfying<br />
home life balance, gives her insight and advice…<br />
‘Nobody can give you confidence. You can only<br />
build it for yourself, from the inside. At the core<br />
of confidence is knowing and understanding<br />
yourself. Finding out who you are and what’s<br />
really important to you is the first step to building<br />
confidence in yourself and in your dreams.<br />
Look up ‘confidence’ in the dictionary and you’ll<br />
find that it’s “the feeling or belief that one can<br />
have faith in or rely on someone or something”.<br />
So if you have self-confidence it means you have<br />
faith in yourself. If you have faith in yourself so<br />
will everyone else! But sometimes that’s easier<br />
said than done. Sometimes we need to take<br />
time to remember who we are and what we’re<br />
capable of. If you’re unsure whether you can<br />
do something, remember all the times you’ve<br />
succeeded before. If you don’t know the answer<br />
to a problem, think about what you’d advise a<br />
friend in a similar situation. Most of all, be as kind<br />
and understanding to yourself as you would be to<br />
that friend.’<br />

Irritable Bowel<br />
Syndrome<br />
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a mix of symptoms like bloating or<br />
gas, distention, constipation, diarrhea, cramping—where your bowel<br />
is just irritable.When you look into the bowels with a camera, you<br />
don’t really see anything. There is no structural problem, no tumor or<br />
obvious cause.<br />
What causes IBS?<br />
The root problem is a dysfunction of your gut<br />
ecosystem, which can have many causes. If you<br />
took five people with IBS, the causes may be<br />
quite different for each person.<br />
For example, someone may experience any one<br />
of the below:<br />
Food Allergens or Sensitivities<br />
Foods can irritate your bowel and digestive<br />
system. They are called food intolerances. It’s not<br />
a true allergy like a peanut allergy or shellfish<br />
allergy, but it can cause terrible symptoms, and<br />
they are very common.<br />
The Human Microbiome<br />
This is where there are imbalances in your gut<br />
ecosystem. You have 10 times as many bacterial<br />
cells in your gut, as your own cells. These bugs<br />
have to be in balance for you to be healthy.<br />
SIBO – Small Intestinal Bacterial<br />
Overgrowth<br />
Also, if you have bugs in the wrong spot, you can<br />
have a problem.<br />
Yeast Overgrowth<br />
Yeast overgrowth happens because of taking<br />
antibiotics, steroids, contraceptive pills, or acidblocking<br />
drugs. It also occurs if you eat a lot of<br />
sugar, drink alcohol, or you are diabetic.<br />
If you want to find out more from a doctor with a special interest in functional medicine who makes<br />
time to listen to you and helps to find the most appropriate test to create a tailored action plan, then<br />

BY THE HARMONY CENTRE<br />
Situated at one end of the Harmony Centre is a busy<br />
chiropractic practice that has been an integral part of<br />
the centre since just after it was built in 2001.<br />
People from all over Suffolk,<br />
Norfolk and beyond travel to have<br />
their spine and nervous systems<br />
corrected. At the heart of the<br />
practice is a focus on family health<br />
and wellbeing.<br />
It is not unusual to see three generations<br />
coming through the door. “Age is no barrier to<br />
chiropractic care.” says Paul Parolin who has been<br />
helping East Anglian people since 1998. He treats<br />
newborns, octogenarians and manual workers<br />
alike with a tool box of techniques ranging from<br />
the very subtle to the more physically assertive.<br />
Paul not only sees people who are in pain but<br />
also those he has helped out of pain. When asked<br />
why would anyone want to have a treatment if<br />
they are feeling ok? His answer is “Because I see<br />
the future of health care as both preventative and<br />
wellness oriented. Why wait to become unwell?<br />
Why wait for your body to inform you something<br />
is wrong by sending out signals in the form of<br />
pain? If we look after our bodies as well as we<br />
look after our cars and houses there would be a<br />
lot less illness.<br />
There is a strong argument for lifelong treatment<br />
either of chiropractic or another complementary<br />
therapy to help optimise health and wellbeing<br />
alongside a good diet and exercise.” It would<br />
save the NHS a lot of money. Imagine that! The<br />
demands on the NHS decreasing instead of<br />
increasing. Not soon perhaps but sometime in<br />
the future.<br />
We live busy lives that can be very complicated<br />
and often with problems to solve. If your animal<br />
is unwell you take them to the vet. If your roof<br />
leaks then a builder or roofer is the man for you.<br />
If your back hurts there is a chiropractor at the<br />
Harmony Centre ready to help. 01986 784712<br />

FOCUS ON<br />
Halesworth<br />
This month <strong>Bounce</strong> focuses on the quaint<br />
Market Town of Halesworth...<br />
Halesworth is a small market town situated in<br />
Suffolk, it has a population of approx 6000, with<br />
the surrounding villages pushing the number to<br />
nearer 12,000.<br />
Halesworth is a town rich in heritage and history<br />
dating back to the Middle Ages.<br />
The town reached the peak of its prosperity<br />
when the River Blyth, on which it sits, was made<br />
navigable in 1756. This breakthrough greatly<br />
increased the town’s trade particularly for the<br />
maltsters and brewers.<br />
By the 17th Century Halesworth was one of the<br />
fastest growing towns in East Anglia. In the 18th<br />
Century it had developed into a town of small<br />
businesses supplying the local urban market and<br />
the needs of the surrounding countryside.<br />
Southwold to Halesworth Quay.<br />
I have lived in Halesworth throughout my life,<br />
the town has a relaxed pace and has been a very<br />
quaint and friendly place to live and visit although<br />
beneath its calm exterior there is plenty of activity.<br />
The main stem of the town is the ‘Throughfare’<br />
over the years I have seen the town itself develop<br />

a Tudor rectory, an Elizabethan almshouse and<br />
Gothic House, home of the Bedingfield family from<br />
1540 with a jetted first floor, hooded windows and<br />
unusual Jacobean porch.<br />
At the bottom end of the Throughfare you can<br />
find an amazing piece of architectural structure,<br />
this is Halesworth’s Library. Only a few minutes<br />
walk away from this is the train station, which is<br />
recognised for its movable platform.<br />
Around the town you may notice circular signs, of<br />
a duck, sunk into the ground, these are waymarks<br />
for the route of the town trial, together with the<br />
informative boards they make an excellent way of<br />
getting to know Halesworth and its history.<br />
Speaking of which, I have my own family history<br />
in Halesworth, my great, great, great uncle John<br />
Ducker was accused of mudering a Policeman in<br />
Chediston Street and was the last man to be hung<br />
in Suffolk, in 1863. We won’t go into that too much<br />
further!<br />
Now the important bit… there is plenty of choice<br />
for eating out and accommodation in the town.<br />
In the 19th century Halesworth became a major<br />
centre for the brewing and malting industries, so<br />
you can expect some good ale here!<br />
The 16C Angel Hotel has two bars and an<br />
excellent Italian restaurant so is well worth a<br />
view.<br />
Tillys in the Market Place and The White Hart<br />
in Thoroughfare Way are also well worth<br />
investigating, however a favourite hang out of<br />
mine is Focus Organic in the middle of town.<br />
With a range of organic produce (and in my<br />
opinion the best coffee in town,) you can sit out<br />
the front on sunny days and watch the world<br />
go by.<br />
For other types of cuisine it is well worth<br />
checking out the Sing Tong Neeyom Thai<br />
Restaurant or the Raj Put Balti House, which<br />
happens to be situated right next to our offices,<br />
the smell in the evening always makes us hungry!<br />

The best of both worlds<br />
AT THE<br />
Crown<br />
Woodbridge<br />
“At the top of the thoroughfare and<br />
just stones throw from the river<br />
Deben, you are ideally positioned<br />
to enjoy the best of both town and<br />
country…”<br />
Having grown up on boats and rivers,<br />
Woodbridge is the sort of place to make me<br />
feel at home. The Crown is no exception, made<br />
apparent as we arrived…<br />
Looking up from the long, stylish bar, you’re met<br />
with the underbelly of a fishing boat, suspended<br />
from a glass ceiling. Think trendy London bar<br />
meets rustic Suffolk, with a nautical twist!<br />
Like the décor, the food balanced the refined with<br />
the rustic. The restaurant boasted a 2AA Rosette<br />
and a recommendation in the Michelin Guide - we<br />
were not to be disappointed.<br />
The menu showed the connection with the<br />
local area, with ‘Farm to Fork’ and ‘The Catch’<br />
sections. Knowledgeable and friendly staff were<br />
all too happy, and proud to talk us through the<br />
personalized and locally sourced menu. Deben<br />
spinney creek oysters came au naturel with<br />
Adnams vodka bloody mary. Or, deep fried with<br />

wasabi mayonnaise & pickled ginger for those of<br />
us less brave... Cowardly and content, I found the<br />
latter were delicious and the perfect introduction<br />
to oysters.<br />
Sold on the local ingredients of ‘Farm to Fork’,<br />
I went for the Suffolk rack of lamb, braised<br />
shoulder croquette, caramelised onion purée and<br />
balsamic beats. On a similar theme, Rachel opted<br />
for the Marsh View Farm red poll ground rump<br />
steak burger which was as equally delicious.<br />
With regards to the hotel, the whole of the<br />
second floor of the historic hotel has been<br />
transformed, creating beautifully designed<br />
bedrooms. Stylish but cosy, the rooms were<br />
designed by award-winning London based<br />
designers, Bentheim. Like the menu, the rooms<br />
meet luxury with the rustic. Wicker feature walls<br />
and pitch fork wall hangings contrast the goosedown<br />
pillows, crisp cotton bed linen and large,<br />
modern bathrooms.<br />
You are sure to be made to feel completely<br />
welcome at the Crown, with a warm and friendly<br />
atmosphere. Staff members were genuine and<br />
seemed to have a real love for the hotel, which<br />
was clear in their knowledge and passion in<br />
describing their locally sourced menu and<br />
extensive range of quality wines.<br />

Paddy Bishopp informs us of the new Paddy<br />
& Scott’s Single Origin Range...<br />
To complete the series on our coffees<br />
and taste profiles we are proud to<br />
announce the launch of our Single<br />
Origin Club in all of our cafes.<br />
Sitting proudly alongside our House Espresso we<br />
will offer our limited edition single estate origin<br />
coffees. Our starting coffee is our Guatemalen<br />
and one we really love. Just ask your favourite<br />
Barista all about it.<br />
Single Origin V’s Blended?<br />
Most of the coffees we love are blended but<br />
why do we blend coffee? In a simple answer, to<br />
ensure the correct taste profile to cerate multiple<br />
drinks. A blended espresso coffee needs to be<br />
quite punchy to cut through the milk for lattes<br />
and Cappuccinos; it also needs to be smooth<br />
enough to work as a standalone Americano, with<br />
or without milk. It’s similar to creating a blended<br />
whisky to work brilliantly in a cocktail or with a<br />
soft drink mixer, or simply on its own. It’s quite<br />
normal for a blended coffee to contain both<br />
Arabica and Robusta beans.<br />
Single Origin coffees tend to be from the Arabica<br />
plant, dry processed and are more akin to single<br />
malt whisky. They tend to be lightly roasted with<br />
a higher acidity and a delicate sweetness. Best<br />
served in smaller 8oz glasses as a Flat White or<br />
Cortado. Independent coffee farmers in South<br />
America and Africa produce our single origin<br />
coffees in small batches. Grown in microclimates<br />
with rich soils and the ideal rainfall patterns to<br />
produce genuinely rare coffees.<br />

The<br />
Wines of<br />
Australia<br />
Wines from Australia could have been<br />
available in 1788 when Governor Phillip<br />
planted vines at the Penal Colony in New<br />
South Wales.<br />
BY ‘WINE BUFF’ FRED FISHER<br />
It took until 1822 for Gregory<br />
Blanchard exported wine for sale.<br />
A major step forward occurred in 1830 when<br />
vineyards were established in New South Wales<br />
and in 1833 James Busby planted classic, mostly<br />
French varieties. As more settlers arrived<br />
from Europe, some with winemaking skills, so<br />
the premium wine regions of Australia were<br />
established. During the 1800’s many medals<br />
were won in France against French premium<br />
wines. This all came to a stop with the arrival<br />
of the phylloxera bug in 1870, which decimated<br />
European vineyards and threatened elsewhere in<br />
the world.<br />
Until the late 1970’s Australian wine was largely<br />
bulk wine, sometimes in a box and also sweet<br />
fortified wines. During the 20th Century, with<br />
domestic consumption growing, overproduction<br />
produced problems leading to a wine lake.<br />
The Government had to step in with financial<br />
incentives to pull up vines to overcome the<br />
problem.<br />

At present Australia produces world beating<br />
wines and has many experienced winemakers.<br />
These are taken on by many countries, even<br />
France, to apply their skills locally to improve<br />
their own wine.<br />
The Climate and Soils<br />
The majority of wine regions in Australia are<br />
coastal and enjoy a Mediterranean climate. This is<br />
ideal for ripening but needs careful consideration<br />
if too hot. Many vineyards are planted where<br />
conditions are more moderate.<br />
New South Wales<br />
The Hunter Valley is the main wine area in<br />
this state, some 160 km north<br />
if Sydney. The best soils are<br />
volcanic. The grapes include<br />
Chardonnay, Shiraz and Semillon.<br />
Victoria<br />
Largely destroyed in the 19th<br />
Century by Phylloxera, it is now<br />
producing great wines. The Yarra<br />
Valley is tops with Chardonnay,<br />
Pinot Noir and Cabernet<br />
Sauvignon among the best grapes. Moet and<br />
Chandon have a Sparkling wine made the same<br />
way as Champagne. The Goulburn Valley growing<br />
delightful Rhone Grapes such as Marsanne,<br />
Roussanne and Viognier.<br />
South Australia<br />
Producing nearly half of Australian wine it is<br />
also has top vine areas. Riverland in the north<br />
provides more bulk but good quality wine.<br />
The Barossa Valley is thought of as one of the<br />
best areas and in the past has been helped by<br />
German immigrants with wine making expertise.<br />
The cooler areas such as Eden Valley is also<br />
outstanding. Further south of the capital Adelaide<br />
are McLaren Vale, Coonawarra and Padthaway. All<br />
top producing areas. Most of the classic French<br />
varieties such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon,<br />
Shiraz etc are grown.<br />
Western Australia<br />
More boutique wines, with a cooler climate due to<br />
the proximity of the Indian Ocean. As a result of<br />
the cooler climate their wines are more European<br />
in style and command higher prices than the rest<br />
of Australia.<br />
Queensland<br />
Some wine is produced in this state but being so<br />
much hotter in climate.<br />
Tasmania<br />
There are 100 or so growers in this state which<br />
has the coolest climate. Capable of producing<br />
great wines they are mostly concentrating on<br />
Pinot Noir and Alsace varieties.<br />
Styles<br />
Australia is capable of making top<br />
class wines as has been evidenced<br />
by their success in comparisons<br />
with Europe. Their wine laws<br />
encapsulate requirements that<br />
what is stated on the label must be<br />
factual. Also the grapes used must<br />
be stated and in what proportions.<br />
Capable of producing great wines<br />
they are mostly concentrating on<br />
Pinot Noir and Alsace varieties.<br />
Note - If a wine is said to come from South East<br />
Australia it is usually a blend of wine from South<br />
Australia, Victoria and New South Wales.<br />
Australian wine produces wines to satisfy all<br />
tastes and this is evident by its success in many<br />
worldwide Awards.<br />
Give them a try. It is useful to compare one grape<br />
variety in one country to the same grape variety<br />
in another. Of course you will need a bottle of<br />
each and separate glasses to go from one to<br />
another. Serve them at the same temperature<br />
and don’t forget the Drink Drive Laws.<br />
So preferably try this at home.<br />
Happy drinking.<br />

THE SWAN, LAVENHAM<br />
68
FOOD & DRINK<br />
JUNE <strong>2015</strong> | ISSUE #32 |<br />
FOOD & DRINK<br />
BY RACHEL DUCKER<br />
Set deep in the delightful Tudor<br />
town of Lavenham stands proud<br />
the impressive Swan Hotel, a<br />
fantastic example of fine medieval<br />
architecture, dating back to the<br />
early 1400s.<br />
The town of Lavenham is best known for its past<br />
connections with the wool trade and defined<br />
by many of its half-timbered houses and sloped<br />
buildings, offering sightseers views of character<br />
and charm. As we entered the alluring building,<br />
friendly staff greeted us and accompanied us to<br />
our room.<br />
As we ducked and dived the twisting low-beamed<br />
corridors I tried to remember how I would ever<br />
find my way back to reception. In fact during the<br />
stay I failed on many attempts, often ending up<br />
circling back on myself… though I have to admit<br />
it was rather fun to get lost in such an old and<br />
interesting building.<br />
With 45 rooms in total, each boasts a mix of<br />
rich fabrics and luxurious furnishings in mellow<br />
colours, along with colossal feather pillows<br />
and soft sheets making the night’s sleep a<br />
comfortable one.<br />
As we settled, it soon came time to venture back<br />
through the maze of corridors leading to the<br />
brand new ‘Weavers’ Spa’ for a little bit of R&R.<br />
After a long day of business meetings in London,<br />
it was just the tonic I needed and I was thankful<br />
the Swan had a Spa for me to unwind in.<br />

AN ENCHANTING PLACE<br />
As I entered the spa, a beautiful scent filled the air<br />
automatically relaxing my senses.<br />
My therapist Abbie greeted me at reception and<br />
led me to a spotless changing area where I was<br />
given the softest fluffy bathrobe to wear, so cosy I<br />
wanted one of those at home!<br />
I was then taken to a communal room and offered<br />
a healthy smoothie as I filled out my details within<br />
a treatment form. Normally this is the boring part<br />
however, what I really appreciated about this<br />
process was the option to tick a box to state if<br />
you would like to talk during your treatment or<br />
to have quiet time (as this can usually be quite<br />
awkward, I gratefully ticked the quiet box on this<br />
occasion). I selected a massage called ‘drift-away’<br />
which I would highly recommend for those who<br />
get stressed easily, and drift-away I did. After a<br />
60-minute treatment I felt so calm and almost<br />
spaced out.<br />
Weavers’ Spa is all about the little touches and<br />
as I came back to life after my massage a cold<br />
homemade lemon sorbet was waiting for me. I can<br />
honestly say that it has been one of my favourite<br />
spas to visit to date. As I clocked the time I<br />
scurried back towards my room to change for<br />
dinner, picking Sam up en route who was enjoying<br />
a few beers whilst working remotely in the garden.<br />
After enjoying some classic cocktails and tasty<br />
canapés in one of the many lounge areas, we<br />
made our way to dine in the Gallery Restaurant,<br />
which echoed that of a candlelit medieval galleried<br />
hall. Quite magnificent in itself.<br />
The food was superb, from the fresh bread to the<br />
dessert. I started with a smoked salmon scotch<br />
egg with lemon butter sauce and caviar whilst Sam<br />
opted for the confit pork cheek with piccalilli and<br />
pea shoot salad. I have to say on this occasion I<br />

heading up the stairs to bed.<br />
After a great night’s sleep we decided to have<br />
breakfast in the brassiere next to the garden rather<br />
than the gallery, this was a bright and airy room<br />
with a fusion of contemporary furnishings and<br />
medieval features.<br />
feel I picked the better dish!<br />
After breakfast it was time for us to leave,<br />
although sad our time here had come to an end, as<br />
we walked out of the entrance we both agreed we<br />
will be returning to the Swan Hotel very soon.<br />
For the main event, the corn fed chicken with<br />
pearl barley, confit shallots, baby leeks and crispy<br />
chicken wings jumped out at me, however Sam’s<br />
selection of Denham Estate venison with carrot<br />
puree, thyme mash and char-grilled sprouting<br />
broccoli was described as incredible.<br />
For more information or to book see www.<br />
theswanatlavenham.co.uk or call 01787 247477.<br />
The atmosphere of the restaurant was pleasant, it<br />
was full but not noisy, the room catered for dining<br />
large parties particularly well. As we sipped on a<br />
glass of Malbec studying the room, our desserts<br />
arrived, (always my favourite part to any meal).<br />
Sam enjoyed a lemon cheesecake whilst I tried<br />
the Pistachio financier (which is like a cake) with<br />
raspberry sorbet.<br />
With full bellies we enjoyed a final drink in the<br />
Airmen’s bar, whilst viewing the world war two<br />
memorabilia displayed on the walls and then<br />

Seim Reap, Cambodia, is famous as the landing spot for<br />
tourists who want to discover the ancient ruins of the<br />
Angkor Wat site in Cambodia.<br />
The site is named after the iconic three towered that it was Ancestors Day, a special holiday, so there were<br />
Angkor Wat, which features on the Cambodian no lessons, however, the kids were still coming in for food,<br />
drink and dancing and that we were more than welcome<br />
flag as well as every tourist photo, but there is<br />
to join in … so we did. The kids arrived at about 7pm as<br />
so much more to discover.<br />
Jimmy started to talk to his class about the importance of<br />
education and how they are the future of Cambodia, how<br />
Covering an area of around 400 sq. miles, it’s more than they are so young and can achieve anything they want to<br />
a day’s work to scratch the surface. However, romping if they study hard and help each other. It was an amazing<br />
around ancient temples with aspirations of Indiana was a talk, I was welling up. To think he has made this school from<br />
lot of fun; it wasn’t my favourite memory of Siem Reap, scratch having started off as a tuk tuk driver with a dream of<br />
which is reserved for the people.<br />
wanting to make a difference in his town is so inspiring, the<br />
Opposite our hotel was a place<br />
world needs more Jimmy’s.<br />
called Jimmy’s school, it’s<br />
run entirely on donations so I<br />
When he finished he invited us to talk to<br />
wandered over to find out more.<br />
the class and answer questions. The kids<br />
Jimmy is a charming man who<br />
asked us about life in England and what it<br />
drives a tuk tuk by day and has<br />
was like growing up, about what jobs we<br />
set up an evening school to teach<br />
had and our families, it was amazing, they<br />
local kids English, helping them<br />
were all so lovely. After the Q&A session we<br />
have a better chance in life.<br />
helped to serve food and drink to the kids<br />
Despite all the tourism that comes<br />
and they even invited us to share with them.<br />
through, Siem Reap is still a very<br />
After the music started and before we knew<br />
impoverished place without many<br />
it we were all going crazy to Gangham Style<br />
opportunities.<br />
and The Macarena! We were there for 2<br />
Jimmy explained to me: “In Siem<br />
Reap, many families have no<br />
Jimmy’s School<br />
money so their children have<br />
to start earning as soon as they can, some as young as<br />
5 or 6. They normally end up selling souvenirs on the<br />
streets to tourists meaning they miss school. My goal is<br />
to give these kids a chance and teach them English in<br />
the evening which will help them to get a proper job in<br />
the future, or at least be better at selling and earning for<br />
their family.” I asked to see if there was any way we could<br />
help out for an evening lesson but Jimmy explained<br />
75<br />
hours that flew by and before we knew it we<br />
were saying goodbye to the kids and smiles<br />
everywhere. It was an honour to come across<br />
such a great project and something that will<br />
stay with us forever.<br />

Why Have a Facial?...<br />
Having a facial is often thought of as a<br />
luxury.<br />
With many of us citing lack of time, money and often<br />
feeling slightly guilty about ‘treating’ ourselves, facials<br />
are not always a regular date in the diary. However,<br />
some of us don’t understand the benefits of a good<br />
professional facial, so we will enlighten you…<br />
The majority of us would wait until we notice a skin<br />
concern such as a breakout, dry itchy skin areas or<br />
discolouration; or, have an upcoming special event<br />
before coming in for a facial.<br />
Investing in proper skincare has a value that can be<br />
(arguably), more important than buying a new dress<br />
or going out for a meal to that new restaurant in town.<br />
Facials are affordable, and most spas and salons are<br />
very reasonably priced, good skincare shouldn’t break<br />
the bank! If affordability is an issue, always look at the<br />
special discounts section on the spa/salon’s website or<br />
their social media pages.<br />
Facials are recommended once a month, however,<br />
if you have a specific skin concern you are trying to<br />
overcome, then an intense course of treatments might<br />
be necessary. Skin renews itself approximately every 28<br />
days, so having a facial regularly ensures the skin which<br />
is visible, looks its absolute best.<br />
A good facial will increase the circulation of the blood<br />
under the skin. This allows the skin to renew its cells<br />
more efficiently. Facials will also decrease waste found<br />
underneath the skin which can cause puffiness and fluid<br />
retention, by stimulating the lymphatic system that lies<br />
just under the skin’s surface. Specialised anti-ageing<br />
facials will help to smooth fine lines and promote<br />
collagen production, to prevent premature ageing,<br />
wrinkles, and sagging skin.<br />
For those suffering with breakouts or congested skin,<br />
a facial will cleanse the pores on a much deeper level.<br />
Similar to an appointment with your dental hygienist, a<br />
facial will do something similar for the skin and pores.<br />
Finally, facials allow you to relax, something, which most<br />
of us need to do. They feel fantastic and help general<br />
wellbeing. The power of touch, proper technique, and<br />
professional products can heal, soothe and repair. So<br />
relaxation and beautiful skin – what’s not to love?<br />
All Pevonia products are made with natural and organic extracts, are free from alcohol, gluten, paraben,<br />
lanolin, mineral oil, PABA and sodium lauryl sulfate, non-GMO and Mother Earth Approved.<br />

I know so many men that think it isn’t manly to<br />
moisturisers and look after their skin, well do<br />
you think David Beckham or Ryan Reynolds wash<br />
their face with soap and leave it... I’m pretty sure<br />
that they have a skin care regime to keep them<br />
looking as good as they do.<br />

JUNE <strong>2015</strong> JUNE | ISSUE <strong>2015</strong> #32 | ISSUE | HAIR #32& BEAUTY<br />
So for all the men out there that<br />
want to start looking after their skin<br />
but have no idea where to start, or<br />
for all the women out there that<br />
want to get their men something<br />
to hint for them to look after their<br />
skin, here are a few products to<br />
help you out.<br />
Clarins do a whole men’s skin care range, they<br />
have also got a starter pack, which has small<br />
versions of their products for you to try before<br />
splashing<br />
out that<br />
cash on the<br />
full size, or<br />
perfect for<br />
your gym<br />
bag.<br />
This starter<br />
kit includes: exfoliating cleanser, aftershave<br />
soother, super moister gel and a shampoo &<br />
shower gel, all of this for £15.00.<br />
Bull Dog Skin care<br />
for men is purpose<br />
built for men, made<br />
in the UK and animal<br />
friendly. To make it<br />
even better the prices<br />
are very reasonable.<br />
What’s not to like, even<br />
with the manly name<br />
of Bull Dog.<br />
They do a wide range<br />
of products, including<br />
their Original Shower gel at £3.20 for 200ml, the<br />
Original Moisturiser at £6.00 for 100ml, Original<br />
Face Wash at £4.50 for 150ml.<br />
They also do products for sensitive skin, Anti<br />
Ageing and protective ranges. They have won<br />
awards such as the FHM Grooming award 2014,<br />
Allure 2013 and Esquire Grooming Awards 2014.<br />
Dermalogica have a whole range made for<br />
men, including a range of products designed<br />
for shaving, all different for how close (or not<br />
so close) a shave you want,<br />
Dermalogica’s products are<br />
all hypoallergenic, so you<br />
are less likely to have any<br />
reactions to them.<br />
If you’re really wanting to<br />
splash out, Dior do a range<br />
of men’s skin care, including an Anti-Fatigue<br />
Firming Eye serum, After shave lotion, Micro-<br />
Purifying Cleansing gel and more.<br />
For a basic routine I would recommend a face<br />
wash/cleaner, eye moisturiser and<br />
a face moisturiser.<br />

recommendations, or even for me to go through a<br />
skin care regime for you, you can contact me on:<br />

Inspiration makes someone want to do<br />
something or that gives someone an<br />
idea about what to do or create.<br />
Those who have followed our monthly column and<br />
business Facebook page where we have reported<br />
on the trending styles evolving from New York,<br />
London, Paris and Milan will possibly have been<br />
stimulated by the diverse cultures, personalities<br />
and the eclectic styles and urban trends from<br />
these four cities. Hence the creativity of your<br />
hairdresser and current styles are influenced<br />
by individual emotions and your own personal<br />
identity.<br />
Equally requisite to accompany the inspirational<br />
skill of the Stylist is the hair products available<br />
to suit all hair types and styles. At Hair we are<br />
fortunate that at the time of print we will stock<br />
and using the new EIMI styling range from Wella<br />
Professionals within the Salon.<br />
EIMI consists of hero styling products including<br />
Ocean Spritz and Perfect Setting with an<br />
additional three new hero products.<br />
SUGAR LIFT a new texture and volume spritz<br />
adds grippy but shiny texture and definition<br />
without overloading the hair or making it heavy. It<br />
ideally works best when applied to wet or damp<br />
hair before blow-drying.<br />
DRY ME is a translucent dry shampoo which is<br />
the ideal product for creating head turning volume<br />
and matte texture. Just spritz evenly through dry<br />
hair for an instant revamp<br />
PERFECT ME a lightweight style which tames<br />
the frizz and creates deliciously smooth hair,<br />
applied to hair before blow-drying for a sleek<br />
finish.<br />
EIMI allows for great stylists to be creative!<br />

SUMMER HAS ARRIVED<br />
By Kate Lines<br />
Kates Top Tip for <strong>June</strong>: Be waterwise<br />
take care of the environment<br />
<strong>June</strong> 21 is the longest day of<br />
the year, and the extra light and<br />
warmth encourages the garden<br />
to put on an exuberant burst of<br />
growth.<br />
But this extra light and warmth also means weeds<br />
will sprout up from seemingly nowhere.<br />
Keep on top of them by hoeing regularly in dry<br />
conditions.<br />
Along with all the flourish and splendour this month,<br />
weeds are thriving too, so keep on top of the<br />
situation; hoe on warm days and leave them on the<br />
surface to wither and die in the sun.<br />
Watering is essential once the weather is drier and<br />
warmer - water thoroughly once or twice a week<br />
rather than little and often (containers and hanging<br />
baskets need watering every day and sometimes<br />
even twice a day if it is hot and windy) - this<br />
encourages plants to put down roots in search of<br />
water rather than coming up to the surface.<br />

PARTY TIPS<br />
I recently celebrated my 29th Birthday<br />
and to mark the occasion I decided to<br />
throw a garden party with my friends<br />
and family. Here are some of my top<br />
tips to throwing a memorable summer<br />
garden party...<br />
Choose an appropriate space: consider<br />
the level of the ground, you don’t want your<br />
guests stumbling over especially after a few<br />
drinks.<br />
Festive element: paper lanterns or balloons<br />
hung haphazardly on tree branches are a fun and<br />
festive element that signifies to guests where the<br />
party’s at.<br />
Blooming plants: placing a few blooming<br />
plants in inexpensive buckets around the garden<br />
provides instant colour and texture. And using<br />
a variety like lavender also gives off a heavenly<br />
scent.<br />
Plan the lighting: your location should have<br />
just the right amount of light and shade. If you<br />
plan a party for the evening, you will need to use<br />
candles, lanterns, string lighting or torches for<br />
extra lighting. When using candles, opt for votive<br />
and/or large pillar candles.<br />
Drink station: arrange a variety of beverage<br />
options on a shelving unit with all the necessary<br />
accoutrements.<br />
Tasty appetizers: bite-sized appetisers are<br />
easy to munch on while socialising with other<br />
party guests. I cheated and ordered everything<br />
pre-prepared from Tesco Easy Entertaining!<br />
Such a time saver!<br />
Create a music list: the type of music you<br />
use is relative to your personal tastes. Either set<br />
up speakers outside, or use a portable sound<br />
system to play your music.<br />

SPORT<br />
It might have ended in<br />
defeat but season was<br />
nothing but a success<br />
How do you sum up the last nine<br />
months in under 500 words?<br />
The best football season I have ever witnessed<br />
- in the Championship or any other league<br />
for that matter. A season where Ipswich Town<br />
found their soul again, where Mick McCarthy<br />
and his band of brothers defied the odds over<br />
and over again only to taste brave defeat at<br />
the end. Here goes…<br />
THE GOOD<br />
Where do I start? Almost everything about<br />
this season was good when it comes to<br />
Ipswich Town. The<br />
emergence of youngsters,<br />
Tyrone Mings and Teddy<br />
Bishop, the fact long-term<br />
contacts replaced the dark<br />
days of loan signings. A<br />
skipper, Luke Chambers,<br />
who rivalled any to ever<br />
lead the blue and white.<br />
A manager, as straighttalking<br />
and straight-acting<br />
as they come, who proved<br />
he didn’t need Marcus<br />
Evans’ millions to shape a<br />
promotion-chasing team - in fact he needed<br />
just £110,000. Ipswich might remain the<br />
longest-serving Championship club, but midtable<br />
mediocrity was replaced by promotion<br />
dreaming, which next season will be replaced<br />
by real excitement and expectations. Daryl Murphy’s<br />
goals, Cole Skuse’s assured presence in the heart<br />
of midfield, the lionhearted Christophe Berra at<br />
the back. The amazing Super Blues, especially<br />
the fans who got up at dusk to follow their team<br />
away. They have a club to be proud of again - one<br />
where even the illusive Evans stepped out, briefly,<br />
from the shadows. At home, the crowds returned<br />
to Portman Road and they were treated with heroic<br />
endeavour from one of the Championship’s smallest<br />
- but closest - squads. The good times have finally<br />
returned.<br />
THE BAD<br />
I can’t ignore the standard of football, especially in<br />
the second half of the season when Town sometimes<br />
clung on to that top-six spot. They became too<br />
reliant on the long ball, even though the way<br />
opposition defenders were turned and constantly<br />
put under pressure should be admired. And let’s<br />
not forget that Ipswich were one of the best teams<br />
in the whole league prior to Christmas. Then there<br />
was the way the season ended. Four winless games<br />
against Norwich, three defeats and a play-off exit at<br />
the hands of the arch rival, are the grim statistics.<br />
But fans have already begun reflecting on a truly<br />
memorable season where Ipswich - only just - fell<br />
short at the penultimate hurdle.<br />
THE HOPES & DREAMS<br />
I used the word ‘expectation’ earlier and<br />
that is what McCarthy’s men will have<br />
to cope with next season. A top-six<br />
finish was simply brilliant, a surprise and<br />
victory for team spirit and unity over<br />
big-spending. But next season, a playoff<br />
place is the minimum requirement.<br />
In truth, to really progress, Ipswich<br />
must be fighting for a top-two spot<br />
even harder than they just have.<br />
But what a situation to be in. I have watched and<br />
reported on too much dire football at Ipswich Town in<br />
recent years. This last season was an absolute joy. Bring<br />
on August!<br />

ACTION MAN<br />
Does Dodgeball...<br />
By Ross ‘Action Man’ Wishart<br />
Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive and<br />
Dodge with the Ipswich Mavericks<br />
Dodgeball Club!<br />
Action Man teamed up with the only dodgeball<br />
club in Suffolk at their regular training session at<br />
Copleston High School, Ipswich every Monday<br />
evening from 6–8.<br />
The dodgeball season runs from September to<br />
April and following a highly successful campaign<br />
which saw them top the Non-League standings<br />
at their first attempt, having lost only one<br />
competition during the entire season, they’ve<br />
been promoted to the Dodgeball National<br />
League Two. This jump in class shouldn’t faze<br />
the Mavericks who boast an impressive 3<br />
internationals within their ranks. Now everyone<br />
loves the film ‘Dodgeball’ right? Well come give<br />
it a go, you’ll have a blast! The rules are fairly<br />
straight forward and self-explanatory… DODGE<br />
THE BALL! T<br />
here’s a truly great spirit during a match and<br />
within the group, all games are supposed to<br />
be fun but I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so<br />
hard during a competitive bout in any sport<br />
as wild shots are met with even wilder evasive<br />
manoeuvres. You certainly get a buzz when<br />
you catch an opponent’s throw especially when<br />
that’s come from the arm of an international<br />
dodgeballer and even more so when that sees<br />
you become the game’s MVP! (ofcourse! MVP<br />
can be found under Action Man in a thesaurus,<br />
right next to awesome.) However this is swiftly<br />
followed by a full barrage of balls hurtling in your<br />
direction.<br />
The Mavericks summer training is a string of<br />
practice matches with more tactics and drills<br />
being introduced close to and during the season<br />
so now is a great time to get involved. Your first<br />
training session is free with following sessions<br />
costing just £3. All are welcome and I can’t<br />
recommend it enough.<br />
Get in touch with the group via Facebook at<br />
‘Ipswich Mavericks Dodgeball Club’ or Twitter<br />

PLAN YOUR SUMMER OF<br />
MUSIC...<br />
Despite the rain pouring down outside<br />
as I write this, summer is just around the<br />
corner and we all know what that means –<br />
festival season is upon us! Suffolk has<br />
an inspiring collection of local festivals<br />
featuring the finest of local, national and<br />
international talent.<br />
The Unthanks<br />
Twisted Piglet<br />
First up is RED ROOSTER at Euston Hall. An<br />
entire weekend of R&B, Americana, Blues, Soul,<br />
Roots and Country music, this is not to be missed<br />
by any fans of the music of the Deep South. This<br />
relatively new festival is back from 5th to 7th<br />
<strong>June</strong> <strong>2015</strong> and features the likes of KITTY DAISY<br />
& LEWIS, CW STONEKING, IAN SIEGAL and THE<br />
THINKING MEN.<br />
Next is perhaps the region’s biggest and most<br />
well-known festival LATITUDE from 16th to 19th<br />
July. This year marks LATITUDE’s 10th birthday<br />
so expect all sorts of shenanigans to celebrate<br />
this momentous occasion. Countless stages,<br />
tents, arenas and performance spaces will be<br />
positively bursting with talent, covering music,<br />
film, comedy, theatre, dance and everything in<br />
between. A very small selection of what’s on<br />
offer includes headliners ALT-J, PORTISHEAD,<br />
NOEL GALLAGHER’S HIGH FLYING BIRDS and<br />
JAMES BLAKE, WARPAINT, LA ROUX and YEARS<br />
& YEARS.<br />
There’s a bit of a to-do on from 21st to 23rd<br />
August with FOLK EAST taking over Glemham<br />
Hall. Join in for the chance to relax in the<br />
wonderful grounds and eat, drink and be merry<br />
with THE UNTHANKS, FALSE LIGHTS, THE<br />
YOUNG’UNS, PEATBOG FAERIES and many,<br />
many more.<br />
HOMEGROWN festival returns to Barrow to<br />
bring together the best of East Anglian music<br />
during the August bank holiday weekend. I loved<br />
it last year and very much look forward to this<br />
year’s event where I can’t wait to be treated to<br />
TWISTED PIGLET, BOX OF LIGHT, THY LAST<br />
DROP, MIRROR SIGNAL and too many others to<br />
fit within my word count.<br />

JUNE <strong>2015</strong> | ISSUE #32 | PETS<br />
Archie’s<br />
Adventures<br />
Not your ordinary dog…<br />
Whether human or dog none of us<br />
are the same - we are all originals,<br />
and that’s the way I bloomin’ like it.<br />
Its good to stand out from the crowd,<br />
I don’t want to be just another pup<br />
in the pack, so I have been doing<br />
a few things lately that may push<br />
the boundaries.<br />
Like the other day, I visited the<br />
town park on my usual track;<br />
walkies got rather boring and<br />
I didn’t care who was watching,<br />
so I jumped on this piece of kids<br />
equipment. I had a wicked time circling<br />
around and around, mind you I got the funniest<br />
looks – but I like to feel the wind in my fur you see, it<br />
gave me that car window feeling.<br />
My video ‘dog on a roundabout’ had many hits on<br />
the social media streams, I was aiming for ‘Charlie<br />
bit my finger’ volumes but it didn’t quite take off as<br />
well as Charlie’s... still there is plenty of time.<br />
Another thing I like to do is sleep in the bed, but not<br />
like a dog… like a human... on my back with my legs<br />
in the air. I was mentioned on BBC Radio Suffolk the<br />
other day in a debate about taking pets to<br />
bed. My owner stuck up for me, which<br />
was a relief, as no way do I want to<br />
lose my spot, especially in the<br />
winter.<br />
At the weekends I am also<br />
known to be a bit of a<br />
daredevil. I go cliff diving! You<br />
wouldn’t think it to look at my<br />
little paws but they can run up<br />
and down those cliffs faster than<br />
any professional climber could. My<br />
rabbit catching skills aren’t quite as<br />
sharp... but I can ride roundabouts remember!<br />
I guess the most original fact about me is that I can<br />
write, my column in <strong>Bounce</strong> has been running for<br />
over two years now and I have a great following so<br />
cheers for that peeps! Uff!<br />
You can follow me on Twitter @bouncearchie if you<br />
want to see the other crazy things I get up to.<br />
