February It’s the Month of Love for Norfolk’s Cancer charity Big C...
Have a heart this February and give a bit of
time and affection for the Big C’s “Month of
Love” campaign. If we whispered “Chocolate”
in your ear…could you be tempted?
The Norfolk based charity has teamed
up with some of the county’s favourite
restaurants, as they prepare for lovers to
indulge in Valentine’s dinners, to tantalise
your tastebuds with some delicious
locally produced chocolates in return for a
suggested donation.
Here’s how to join in. Below are listed the
restaurants participating in the scheme.
When you finish your meal at any of these
restaurants for your Valentine’s, a Kilner jar
with delicious chocolates will be arrive on
the table.
All Big C asks is that you make a donation
to indulge in a chocolate of your choice with
your loved one?
“It’s our 35th anniversary year and Valentines
Day so we have to celebrate with chocolates.
We hope lots of people will enter into the
spirit of the scheme and realise all the money
will be used to helping cancer patients and
their families right here on their doorstep in
Norfolk,” said Clive Evans, Director of Income
Generation.
The donations will be given to the Big C to
help fund its support centres, research, lifesaving
equipment purchases and education
and are all pure profit as all the jars and
chocolates have been kindly donated.
The Big C is loving support from Norfolk
Truffle Company, Gnaw and others for the
chocolates and Kilner and Lakeland, Norwich,
for the jars.
The restaurants offering the scheme are:
Stoke Mill, Stoke Holy Cross; Pedro’s Texmex
Cantina, Chapelfield Gardens, Norwich; No1.
Cromer; Marriott’s Warehouse, King’s Lynn.
IF YOU ARE A RESTAURANTEUR AND WOULD LIKE TO BE INVOLVED IN THIS SWEET OPPORTUNITY
PLEASE CALL RACHEL FRANCIS ON 01603 619900.

BY ZEE BATTERSBY
I’m not old i’m
retro
I’ve just launched my
new fashion website
imnotoldimretro.co.uk
Well hello there! I’m back with my monthly column… Ok so firstly a
reminder about me. I’m Zena (Zee for short) I’m 42, a mother and a
grandmother.
So, here we are! Freezing
February! These last few
weeks have flown by.
As well as fighting the cold,
I’ve been put on to a low fat
diet by my health consultant
and this has forced me to
change my eating habits, before
I have my gallbladder removed.
At first I was very sad. I love
a cake and cream and cheese
and of course chocolate...
(sorry I drifted off then, I
was at the cake counter in
Waitrose)!
My day job is in menu development
at a large local brewery and I’m lucky
enough to sit with two amazing
nutritionists. They have taken me
under their healthy wings and have
opened my eyes to alternative
options and places locally to indulge.
One little such gem is NOURISH.
Tucked away at the Back of Neals
Yard Remedies in Abbey gate
St Bury St Edmunds the café a
bijou and friendly. Everything is
cooked to order and is utterly
delish! Catering for Vegans and
Vegetarians, food intolerances and
allergies it really is a lovely place.
Most importantly they have a
great selection of CAKE! So if like
me you’re trying to be healthy but need A
LOT of persuasion then give them a try.
I’ve also been over to an amazing
company called Ralph and Co. Tucked
away in a barn on the outskirts of
Cambridge, Ralph and Co is the Vision
Of Karl Rutterford. His Aladdin’s cave
of vintage props and hand painted
fairground signs are really different and
retro. I could have got lost for hours in

there. If you’re looking for something really
different for a party a wedding or your home
give them a look.
My blog is really taking off and this month I have
been reviewing some really gorgeous products.
Firstly WARPAINT this is an all-natural Teeth
Whitener made from charcoal. If you want a
more holistic approach to teeth whitening, then
war paint is for you. Although you do look like
a toothless pirate when it first goes on its worth
it!! Use it as you would a normal toothpaste
and watch your teeth get whiter. I’ve also been
reviewing Matte Lipsticks for AVON. I’m in love
with my MAC Matte lipstick at the moment so
I will be comparing the Avon against the most
popular Mac and L’Oreal lipsticks.
All these reviews will be over on my
blog.
Of course I couldn’t get away with
not mentioning Valentine’s day! If
you’re stuck Dapper Fox have a
lovely range of men’s accessories
including some gorgeous leather
hold alls and men’s grooming sets.
SK Clinic + Spa have a range of
facials specifically tailored to men
and Smart Step in Abbeygate Street sell the
most beautiful Men’s Shoes and Accessories.
Give them a look if you want something really
special.
So the next few months are really busy for me
here at Bounce Towers. I have a new section
on my blog called “Ask the experts”. There will
be lots of help and advice for women over 40
from Hairdressers, stylists, make-up artists and
nutritionists so if you have any queries then ask
me them on my blog. I will put your queries to
the experts and hopefully you will find it useful.
Stay stylish - Love Zee x

TIPS & ADVICE THIS SEASON
SPRING/SUMMER
Preview
PART ONE
With fashion show season
underway, now is the perfect time
to look ahead to emerging trends
for the Spring/Summer season.
Plus I’m up for any excuse to ignore dark cold
skies currently looming outside of my window.
First up, men’s trends…
Shades of Green
Once again green is a big feature on the runway.
This works well with the military look still present
on the high-street, as well as the single shade
looks seen throughout the winter.
Specifically, you’ll want to look out muted shades
such as olive, moss, khaki and camo styles.
Athleisure
BY DANIEL FRANCIS
Don’t blame me; I didn’t come up with the name.
Still, questionable label or not, nothing is stopping
18

FEBRUARY FEBRUARY 2016 | 2016 ISSUE | #40 ISSUE | #40 FASHION
FASHION
this growing trend from dominating the
fashion shows. Essentially, Athleisure
describes a sporty style worn outside of
the gym for your everyday look.
Perfect for those among us who want to
give off the impression that we exercise
without actually doing so…
Outer-Layering
This may seem like an odd choice for the
warmer months but jackets on top of
jackets can also be found on the runways
this year.
The denim jacket is heavily featured but if
you’re going to see this look through the
summer you’ll want to pair up lightweight
materials such as linen and cotton. This also
gives you the perfect chance to add some
extra patterns and colour to your looks
during a time when outfits can become
quite plain (the hotter it gets the less we
wear).
Wider Trousers
Again, something that’s been gaining
popularity for the last couple of seasons
in menswear; you won’t struggle to find wider
boot cut trousers on the high-street this year.
The skinny jean’s day truly is done (unless you’re
Topman). If you’re still in a time of adjusting to
this throwback look then opt for a slim or straight
leg to ease yourself in.

Rudimental
Rudimental have announced dates for the summer, as part of Forest
Live, the concert series promoted by the Forestry Commission where
acts perform in unique woodland locations around the country.
Rudimental’s debut album, ‘Home’, now
double platinum selling over 600,000
copies in the UK, spawned five huge hit
singles including two UK Number Ones
with ‘Feel The Love’ ft. John Newman
and ‘Waiting All Night’ ft. Ella Eyre.
Public adulation was reflected in industry
accolades including a BRIT Award (Best British
Single for ‘Waiting All Night’) and a MOBO Award
(Best Album). Collectively, they have gone on to
sell over 5 million singles worldwide and over 200
million views across their YouTube channel and
‘Waiting All Night’ alone has clocked up over 100
million streams on Spotify.
For their second album release, ‘We The
Generation’ marks a progressive Rudimental, a
genre-defying collective that continues to change
the face of dance music not just within the UK
music scene but globally. They have become
recognised for discovering and nurturing the
hottest new up and coming talent and their
sophomore album continues this, introducing
Anne-Marie, Will Heard, and with Mahalia on the
title track. Further collaborations abound with
established artists such as ‘New Day’ ft. Bobby
Womack and the hit singles ‘Bloodstream’ and
‘Lay It All On Me’ with Ed Sheeran. Renowned for
their electric live performances, fans can expect a
formidable set from the Hackney four-piece and
their supporting cast.
Forest Live is an independent programme
organised by the Forestry Commission to bring
forests to new audiences. Income generated from
ticket sales is spent on protecting, improving and
expanding England’s forests and woodlands and
increasing their value to people and wildlife.
Over Forest Live’s 15 years history, money raised
has contributed to a wide range of projects, from
wildlife conservation to making improvements for
visitors. With everything required for a great night
out, including full catering and bar facilities, the
gigs are renowned for their relaxed atmosphere.

Wedding Dress Shopping
BY CATHERINE STARLING-GUNFIELD
The wedding dress is a
truly important part
of any bride’s day and
purchasing one is an
incredibly exciting
time.
So after my experience shopping
for my wedding dress, here are
are some practical tips that I
think might be helpful.
Do not leave the purchase too
late: Leave yourself enough
time to save for a deposit and
for alterations, start looking, if
possible, around 16-18 months
before the big day or as soon as
you set a date.
Think about the colour and tone of the dress:
Chose one that suits you to make your skin glow and
complement your hair colour.
The weight of the dress:
The dress should make you feel totally relaxed when
wearing it and not too heavy for you.
The shoes:
Take your wedding shoes with you or shoes with similar
height to what you will be wearing on the big day.
Where to shop:
Choose a reputable shop or designer you feel confident
with and consider a local shop. It’s so much easier when
going for fittings and paying deposits etc.
More than the dress:
Consider your overall ‘look’ and think about your hair style,
jewellery, head pieces etc when trying on and think about
whether you will need a shrug, fur coat, umbrella, or veil.
28

WEDDING
FEBRUARY FEBRUARY 2016 2016 | ISSUE | ISSUE #40 | #40 WEDDING
Time of year:
The season, location and time
of your wedding should be
considered when choosing your
dress.
Styles:
Try on every style available so
you know what suits you and
what doesn’t, even the styles you
don’t like on the hanger or in a
magazine can look very different
when tried on.
Expert advice:
Listen to and take the advice
from the bridal shop assistants,
they are after all the experts.
Be patient:
Don’t settle on the first dress you
try on, it’s not ‘always’ the one,
trust me!
It’s about you:
Don’t get hung up on bridal
magazines and the latest trends
and styles. Your dress should
be about you and your style;
a wedding dress should be
timeless.
Lastly, just enjoy the moment; it’s
the best shopping trip ever!
Happy planning ...

CUT ALL TIES THIS
Valentines
BY KAT BRANSBY
As the January sales draw to
an end and sudden flourishes
of pink hearts and red roses fill
the shops, it can only mean one
thing, Valentines Day is just
around the corner.
It’s that time of year again where we are
encouraged to express our affection with
various (commercialised) gifts and romantic
gestures, why?
Because that’s what everyone else is doing
right?!
Now I am not a cynic, I love a good rom-com
as much as the next person and I am a sucker
for cards!
But while on February 14th, love may be in
the air, is it really something that we need to
share?
As a nation we seem to be living our lives
through social media with the ability to share
exactly what we are doing as we are doing it,
at our fingertips.
I, too, am guilty of this, but it seems that so
little now is kept private.
We no longer enjoy our lives ‘in the moment’,
but rather through our phone screens so that
others know we are there.

You only need to look at the TV coverage
on New Years Eve to see that nearly every
person was watching the fireworks display
through their camera phones to share their
‘experience’!
It seems that we don’t just share a card with
our loved ones anymore, in fact, we no longer
share our lives with that one person.
I guarantee that come Valentines Day this
year, my news feed will be filled with images
of gifts that people have received, ‘check
ins’ of people at various romantic places and
couples ‘selfies’.
I will make a point this year of avoiding social
media and sharing the day with the person
who I genuinely want to share my life with.
And for those singletons amongst us
whose most dreaded day of the calendar
year is Valentines day, I urge you to get off
Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and to forget
the facade that they create.
We spend so much time comparing
everyone’s seemingly wonderful, not to
mention online, lives, with our own.
Let us indulge in our own lives for a day and
forget what everyone around us is doing.
Embrace the true meaning of St Valentines
and celebrate love, regardless of your
relationship status, pander to a little self-love.
We all deserve to treat ourselves every once
in a while!

LOVIN’ CRIMINALS
A Bounce Magazine Exclusive! We interview Huey Morgan

FEBRUARY 2016 FEBRUARY | ISSUE 2016 #40 | ISSUE | BOUNCE #40 FEATURE
Rachel Ducker speaks to Huey Morgan from
the Fun Lovin’ Criminals about their live shows
in February 2016 to celebrate and resurrect in
all its glory one of the most important albums
of 1996, ‘Come Find Yourself’.
20 years on, this debut release for the group
sounds as fresh and vibrant as it did that
year, when it spent almost 12 months in the
UK chart, becoming a soundtrack for the
summer and peaking at No. 7. Huey Morgan,
Brian Leiser and Frank Benbini will play the
album live and in full for the very first time
at O2 Academy venues in Leeds, Newcastle,
and Oxford, as well as dates at Nottingham
Rock City, Birmingham Institute, Manchester
Cathedral and the capital’s stunning O2
Shepherd’s Bush Empire.
R: You are celebrating your 20th Anniversary
this year by touring and re-releasing your
1996 album ‘Come find yourself,’ what was the
inspiration behind this?
Obviously It wasn’t for money, we sold over ten
million of those things, so we’re pretty good for
that. It was mostly because a number of fans got
in touch with us over the last couple of years and
were really interested in kind of, celebrating the
idea of something that they really held in high
regard, that they really loved, and something that
has been with them for two decades.
As a musician you have to be humble with
something like that, to the point that its not false
humility, you really think about it and go ‘wow’
we’ve been apart of so many people lives for
over twenty years, it would be remissible of us

not to celebrate that with the people. Once you
make a record and you go through all the trials of
tribulations of getting a record deal, and produce
a first record with a major label, you have an idea
of what you want to do, but not really an idea of
what is ahead in the long run.
When you look back on something like that, your
really kind of, compelled to actually ‘get with
the programme’ and go ‘wow yes you did do
something that was pretty unique,’ and why not
enjoy it, and celebrate it with the people you love.
R: I think it’s a wonderful idea and to bring back
all of the old songs and perform them live again,
it will be quite nostalgic for some people.
Yeah, we’re not really big on nostalgia, but we’re
big on making an emotional connection with
people, I think we always have been. Once this
record came out it started getting well received
by the listers, I mean, I’m not really to sure what
critics got with it, I don’t really read press
and stuff.
You cant just be flippant about making a
connection with somebody, let alone millions of
people around the world. With something that
was part of your heart and your mind for many,
many years, its beyond the world nostalgia I think,
you know, especially people like us who didn’t
really get into it to be a celebrity or for
the money.
R: So, it’s for the love of it?
Yeah, anything that really means anything in my
life I’ve done for love, you know, and its important
to look at things in general that kinda transcends
a lot of the nonsense and labels that you’ve been
given to explain things away, its really simple and
that’s why things last as long as they do.
R: Do you have a favourite track on the album
and why?
I answer that question often, and I think the best
way to answer that is ‘yeah I have a favourite
track, but what’s your favourite track’? That’s
my favourite track, because that’s important to
me, if someone has created something, I might
have created it to a different reason that for what
you appreciate it for, but the fact someone else
outside of my brain can kinda, get with something
I’ve created is flattering to the point of being
dumfounded.
When you’re a creative person and you come up
with something that connects with somebody,
be it “hello how are you,” or anything as trivial as
that can, it kind of makes something a little bit
more special.
So, I always think the best way to answer that
is ‘yeah I do but that’s not important anymore’.
When you finish making a record and we’ve made
a couple, it goes to print and people buy it, its
no longer yours, its no longer yours... simple as
that – the person who bought it makes it part of
their lives.
R: I can complete relate to that, as with Bounce
Magazine it is like ‘my baby’, every page I create
and design I put my whole heart into it, so I
can see where your coming from, but I think
its really refreshing to speak to a musician who
feels like that, and its for the love not the money.
You can tell you have a passion.
Well you know what, its interesting that you
say that, were really kind of in the same boat,
where you do what you do for love, I don’t think
you did it for the money or to become famous.
You did it because you were compelled to do
something different and to reach people and
bring a message that was a little bit different to
everything else you saw and heard.
And I think that’s kind of key right there, I mean,
to do something that we did, when we did it, was
so unique, but we didn’t think about it that much
when we did it, because that’s how we were as
people and even with your publication, I think
what you do is very unique because it comes

directly from you and every person is different
and has a different perspective on life, you
know, and I think when someone picks up your
magazines or one of our records, it shifts from
what we thought it was, to something that it is for
somebody else.
R: How would you deal with any negative
aspects? – when you love something so much its
hard not to take things personally.
The key thing about that is, you did the best you
can, I did the best I could, there was that period
of time back in 1996 when we tracked the record,
but we have our whole life experience now and
we put our heart and soul in into something, so
even if someone can pick things apart and say
bad things about it, first of all, don’t list to it, as I
never really pay any attention to the press good
or bad, as what I did I thought came from the
right place, that means more to me than what
someone could say they would have done better.
When we first came out with this record,
especially in the UK where there was a lot of brit/
pop, we were in the charts, that wasn’t something
that was really that crazy back 20 years ago but
now there’s such a rapid turn over as people are
getting emotionally invested in things for lots of
reasons.
I think paramount to that is when you do
something that is very, very different you expose
yourself to a lot of different people who feel very,
very different about there role in society, and I
think people gravitated towards this record as
it wasn’t easily explained like anybody’s life is
explained in 250 words or whatever.
R: This is usually a question I like to ask in my
interviews, Van Haylen famously requested a
bowl of M&Ms, with the brown ones removed as
part of their rider.
I know that story, you know why they did that?
R: Speaking of love, I hear you’re a keen guitar
player? When did you start playing?
I started about the age of 9 or 10 and I
was listening to the stuff that was in my
neighbourhood and that was a good place to
start, as that’s how I got the idea of being very
inclusive with my inspirations, be it music or
social things that went on in my neighbourhood
or just everything really. It was one of those
things where I grew up there were so many
different culturally diverse music and speech
and just life, in my neighbourhood that I was at
an early age excepting of everything and I think
if your gonna be creative its really good to have
that mind set of ethos.
When I first started playing guitar I was
listening to all types of music it all kind of, in
my mind, moved together into this single state
of consciousness that made me be the person
I am and therefore you can be a musician with
instrument of your expression and that can
be unique.
R: No but I am dying to find out?
It was kinda funny, the story goes... that they got
really famous very quickly and they were opening
up to Black Sabbath and bands like that.
All of a sudden they were asked what their rider
should be, and essentially all these guys wanted
was a bottle of Jack Daniels and like 50 beers,
and they were like “ok we got that what else”?
And they were like, “uh some cigarettes”, “and
what else”? Your given an open cheque and you
know, I was in that position too where people
were like “what do you want in your rider” and I
was like “a beer”, and then they were like “what
else”? “uh a sandwich” and “what else”? So they
actually got to the point where they were like “uh
the m&ms with the brown ones taken out” to end
the conversation, and the promoters went and
did that as they thought it was something the
band needed to have a really good show, though
essentially they just wanted to get them off the
telephone!

R: So what was your most outrageous request?
Well I mean its the same old story, the reason I
was talking about that is that it kinda happened
to us one time, we got to the point where we had
about 50 beers, a couple of bottles of liquor and
then “what else” cigarettes, “yeah sure what else”
“half a case of champagne”, “what kind”? “Uh
Veuve Clicquot”, “what else”? OK so it got to the
point, it was an open cheque.
And I was talking to the tour manager one day
and he was like we leave this dressing room and
there was all this stuff left behind and we end up
taking it, so all the tech guys were walking round
with all this champagne, liquor and beer etc.
So I said that’s good and he said why so I said
because they’re happy!
So I guess the craziest thing we’ve done is as our
tech guys what they want, because we can only
do so much damage to ourselves and our brains
in the space of a couple of hours.
It ended up turning into ‘whatever our guys want’
cos we’re all family here, we all hang out together
we’ve been doing this a long time and we kind of
set it up as a family business.
It now gets to the point were wanted a banana
daiquiri mix so we got that!
R: So speaking of tours, your UK tour starts
in February and you’ll be in Norwich (not far
from us) on 13th February, what are you looking
forward to the most about being on tour?
I’ll tell you, when I played Norwich last time it was
kinda funny, so I left my house in London and I
had to get to Norwich. It was a really fun time, so
I got on the train to go up to Norwich and I was
on the train and there were a bunch of people
also on the train who were going to the gig and
they were looking at me and eventually one lady
got up and said to me ‘aw is it you’ and I said ‘I’m
going to the gig in Norwich’ and they were like
‘so are we’.
They just couldn’t believe that a guy would be on
the train going to a gig while they were going up
to a gig while they were on a train going to a gig.

FEBRUARY FEBRUARY 2016 | ISSUE 2016 #40 | ISSUE | BOUNCE #40 FEATURE

And I said to them ‘ah there is nothing separating
us apart from I have some guitars waiting for
me when I get there’, so we shared a cab and
we get to the gig I am walking in the front door
with these people with tickets and stuff, and the
security guys said ‘hey you should be going to
the back entrance this is safe’ and I was like what
do you mean this isn’t safe I have been with these
guys for two hours there my friends, we’re cool
and they couldn’t get there head around it.
I thought that was funny as we as people, we
always think there is a class system with bands
and crew or bands and audiences, were all in this
boat together as people right, and that was one
of the reasons I never wanted to sign up to all
this celebrity nonsense as once you do that you
separate yourself from the people who are most
important to you.
R: Do you ever get bored of being ‘on the road’?
Yeah I have a family and stuff I mean, I like being
at home, but I also love playing with my band,
these guys are some of the best musicians I
have ever met in my life if not the best and its
something like I was given a gift and I was able to
play music for a living you know.
I love playing I never get bored as if you get
bored your not playing enough.
There’s a lot to be said that if you don’t enjoy
what you do you shouldn’t be doing it
If not enjoying yourself you’ve got to get more in
touch with yourself, you know.
R: We are also fairly close to the Latitude
Festival and a friend of mine said he bumped
into you at last year’s festival and I wondered
what did you think about it?
Oh, I love Latitude, I think it’s a great festival,
I think we might be playing this year, so hey
hopefully we will see you again soon.
R: Great well hopefully we will be covering it
again then.
And if so we will do another interview then!
R: Thank you ever so much for you time its been
a pleasure speaking to you.
Mine as well thank you very much Rachel.

YOGA
FOR THE MEN
Bounce Magazine looks at the
benefits of yoga for men...
Most men are pretty skeptical about yoga, they
assume that yoga is just a lot of stretching and
breathing; which it is. But they soon find that there’s
a serious component of strength required to hold
those poses, still and steady, breathing deeply
and consistently, with a peaceful, non-reactive
expression on your face! They are amazed at how
hard it is and equally amazed at how good it feels.
Interestingly, although women seem to have
cornered the market so far on yoga here in the
West, that’s far from the case in India, its birthplace.
Krishnamacharya, one of the fathers of what we
consider “modern yoga,” developed his physically
demanding poses at a school for boys, and many
of the moves incorporated into today’s yoga
sequences remain elusive for women, because they
lack the upper-body strength to fully attain them.
tight. One of the most widely practiced is a form
of vigorous Vinyasa or “flow” yoga, also called
“power” yoga. The “hot” method, utilizes a heated
room to up the sweat factor and increase flexibility
in muscles, while Hatha and Iyengar emphasize
perfecting body alignment, symmetry, and form.
Ashtanga yoga is a set series, akin to a martial art
form. There are four levels of series; most students
won’t fully complete the first, or “primary” series, in
a lifetime of practice, and there are currently only a
handful of people in the world who have advanced
to the fourth series.
Since it helps smooth out tight muscles, yoga can
be a wonderful complement to all sports and help
prevent injury greatly.
By now most of us have heard about the health
benefits of yoga. Certainly the “yoga body” is
desirable for both men and women alike. Lean,
toned, symmetrical, and well-proportioned, it’s sexy
because it’s flexible, not bound, locked, bulky or
What’s the “goal” of yoga, if there is one: calm,
clear, internal focus. The fact that it will also
empower your body and give you a strong,
muscular, defined and long-lined physique happens
to be a nice bonus for the yogi’s efforts.

THE SELF CENTRE
Why
Pilates?
Joseph Pilates was born at the end
of the nineteenth century.
A sickly child, he was determined to overcome
the ailments that restricted his life, he strived
to achieve this through gymnastics, diving and
skiing, passionately believing that fitness was
the key. As an adult his careers varied from
circus performer to self-defence instructor until
World War 1 where, as a German national, he
was interred. He devoted his time in captivity to
developing an exercise programme to help his
fellow inmates. Later in the war, he used his new
techniques to develop healthy muscle tone and
assist those learning to walk again.
Jumping forwards to today, Pilates is practiced
across the world by over 12 million people. The
techniques have been adapted and added to over
the years; however the six main principles remain
the same: breath, concentration, centring, control,
precision and flow. Modern Pilates focuses on
strengthening the core muscles with the intention
of bringing the body back into balance, improving
posture, and taking pressure off the back.
Other benefits include a flatter stomach, tighter
buttocks and a toned body. Exercises can focus
on particular muscles groups to aid rehabilitation
after illness, increase mobility and improve
general health.
Classes are typically an hour long and may use
props such as blocks, belts and balls to assist
and support movement. Pilates works with the
body to bring it back to a healthy alignment, at
first it may feel that nothing or very little change
is happening, so it is recommended to follow a
course of 8-10 classes is taken before expecting
to feel a real change.

FOR THE
love of food
BY NATALIE PERKINS
The preparing and sharing of
food has always been a way of
communicating love and caring.
Sitting down as a family or as a couple allows
for quality conversation and helps consolidate
relationships. Sadly with TV dinners and mobile
phone usage this precious experience is being
eroded. So, whoever you are dining with on
Valentine’s night – focus on the person sharing
the experience!
Aphrodisiacs! Urban myth or
substantiated evidence?
For fun I googled aphrodisiacs whilst researching
our Valentine menu and discovered that most
were illegal, inedible or immoral! So we will not
be offering Tiger Penis Tapas or Spanish Fly
Omelette or even Salamander Brandy. However
Watermelon may make an appearance, see an
excerpt from Science Daily.
Watermelon May Have
Viagra-effect
July 1, 2008 : Texas A&M University
A cold slice of watermelon has long been a
Fourth of July holiday staple. But according to
recent studies, the juicy fruit may be better suited
for Valentine’s Day. That’s because scientists say
watermelon has ingredients that deliver Viagralike
effects to the body’s blood vessels and may
even increase libido.
Many other aphrodisiacs may just have a placebo
effect and are based on their visual similarity
to “body parts!”. These include asparagus and
oysters, (please don’t ask me to explain any
further).
On a more practical level you may be hoping to
find out how to impress your loved one through
culinary expertise. Firstly remember that it is not
just the food, we need to set the mood. Music,
lighting and the table setting all add to the overall
romanticism of a meal.
Flowers on a table can look nice but they can
get in the way of your view of your loved one, so
perhaps give a bunch of flowers (this works for
both sexes) and use the petals from one of the
flowers strewn over the table.
I would also keep candles low, use any glass
container to put tea lights in, this is important as
tea lights can easily cause a fire.
Do no over stretch yourself and get all hot and
bothered - this is not attractive!

IN MOTION
Poets House, in Ely, Cambridgeshire,
occupies an attractive trio of Grade-
II listed Edwardian buildings, which
surround a central courtyard/car park,
complete with an impressive view into
the cocktail bar.
We were delighted be invited along to see what
Poets House had to offer and we were certainly
not disappointed.
As we draw nearer to our destination, we find it in
the most enviable location, opposite the ancient

Teeny Weeny Cheesecakes
Here we have a delicious little recipe that requires no cooking in the oven
meaning us little people can do most of the work! A family recipe for some tasty
little cheesecakes that could be perfect for a certain special dinner later this
month.
Let’s start by bashing up all the biscuits
in a large bowl. Oh hang on, we do need
a big person, grab one and ask them to melt
the butter and add it to your bowl.
Now spoon the filling into each of the
base tins equally. If you are feeling
creative you can add a little swirl by
dropping a drip of chocolate sauce onto
the filling and moving it with the end of a
teaspoon.
Once you have finished fiddling with them,
pop them in the fridge for a few hours.
When you take them out it sometimes helps
to use a warm cloth to run around the tin
before removing them.
Grease some small tins with some of
the butter and place them onto a baking
tray and pour the biscuit mixture into it.
Press the mixture down especially around
the edges to form the base. When this is
done, the bases can be chilling in the fridge
while we make the filling.
While that big person is loitering about
ask them to melt the white chocolate in
a bowl over a pan of boiling water.
mix the cream cheese and mascarpone
together and add the cream.
Then add the melted chocolate to the
mixture. Be a bit careful here as you can
over mix it which isn’t good, so nice and
smooth with all the ingredients combined.

Renowned coffee creators Paddy & Scott’s announce
partnership with award-winning Suffolk businesswoman...
Artisan coffee creators Paddy & Scott’s
have announced ambitious plans to provide
customers with a new interactive experience.
The renowned Suffolk business has teamed up with
award-winning businesswoman Rachel Ducker who
will be in charge of boosting online retail sales.
Rachel said: “I am thrilled about the opportunity
I have been given to work with Paddy & Scott’s.
I’ve always been a big fan of their coffee and I feel
privileged to now be a part of the team.
“Between us, I believe our knowledge and passion
within the industry will take the brand to new and
interesting places.
“We have some very exciting times ahead for the
retail side of the business and I am ready to come
up with some mind-blowing ideas for 2016 - I urge
everyone to watch this space.”
Founded in Earl Soham, Paddy & Scott’s have
organically grown as a company to now boast five
established and thriving coffee shops in Framlingham,
Hadleigh and Bury St Edmunds, as well as operating
in over 45 branded outlets across the country and
over 700 trade outlets. This equates to around
100,000 cups of Paddy & Scott’s coffee being
consumed per day, totalling 320,000 kilos of coffee
per year.
Scott Russell, co-founder of Paddy & Scott’s, said they
now felt the time was right to push further ahead with
online retail sales, admitting: “We’ve been talking with
Rachel for a couple of years now.
“Both Paddy and I like her approach to business and
effervescent personality, but we have been waiting for
the right project.”
Future plans include giving online customers bespoke
offers matched to their tastes as well as food
pairing with a big online marketing drive planned
for Valentine’s Day. The partnership will also see the
launch of a new customer-funded coffee community
where a limited number of members can opt to pay
a small monthly fee to help fund independent coffee
plantations in return for a monthly supply of rarer,
specialised coffees not available to the general public.

Wines
of Portugal
It was in 1678 that the importation of French wines was forbidden as
a result them being our enemy.
BY ‘WINE BUFF’ FRED FISHER
This led to an opportunity to deal with Portugal for
wine imports. By 1703 the Methuen Treaty bound
us together even more such they had become our
oldest ally.
This Treaty gave preference to Portugese trade
and boosted their wine industry.
They have existed over the years as a basic wine
producer with Port being the most important
product. In 2003 a commission was set up to
provide a strategy for producing sustainable
quality wine.
Similar to other European nations Portugal has a
Classification system with the initials DOC & DOP
for top quality, and IGP and VR for the medium
quality wines. Furthermore Reserva and Garrafeira
are quality terms. Reserva for DOC wines and
Garrafeira for all wines DOC or IGP. For Garrafeira
the minimum age has to be 30 Months maturing
including 12 in glass bottles. Table wines are simply
called Vinho.
On wine labels look for these classifications
especially the initials IGP as these are a relatively
new development and follow the 2003 strategy
mentioned above.
The Climate
Diverse climate mostly influenced by the Atlantic
Ocean thus described as a Maritime Climate,
warm summers and cool wet winters. Inland the
climate can be hot and dry.

FOOD & DRINK
FEBRUARY 2016 | ISSUE #40 |
FOOD & DRINK
The Regions
Vinho Verde DOC In the North West vineyards
are affected by the cooling effect of the Atlantic.
An average rainfall of 1200mm with mostly a
granite soil. More modern pruning has led to big
improvements in quality. Usually white wine from
the Loureiro, Arinto and Alvarinho grapes Red
wine is made as well as rose from a variety of
black grapes
Douro DOC This is the oldest demarcated
wine region in the world and has a varied
climate. Warm maritime in the west but hot and
continental at the eastern end. Steep hillside
planting with slate like schistous soil.
Mostly Port grapes, the most important ones are
Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinto
Roriz, Tinta Barroca and Tinta Cao.
Mostly Port wine is made here
(see Bounce Magazine Issue 27
January 2015) but some blocks
of vines are used to make Douro
DOC, a dry red wine of intense
fruit combined with finesse.
Dao DOC South of the Douro but
more inland with grapes planted
on gentle rolling countryside of mostly
granite based soil. Cold and rainy in winter, hot
and dry in summer. The significant temperature
drop from day to night, leads to high quality wine
production. New plantings of classic grapes have
taken place together with the Touriga Nacional
and Tinta Roriz. Dao wines are mostly red with
ripe fruit flavours, soft tannins and high acidity.
They have the ability to age well. Dao whites are
medium bodied with fresh acidity, mostly from
the Encruzado grape.
Bairrada DOC This area lies between Dao and the
Atlantic. Mostly heavy clay soil with limestone
content. A mild climate with rainy winters and
warm summers. Problems with rain have led
to the need for more modern winemaking and
viticulture practices (the training and pruning of
vines). This has resulted in soft and fruity wines
but with some ageing potential. The Touriga
Nacional is now planted together with the
Camarate, the Casteleo and Baga grapes. A blend
of these is called Classico with at least 50% of the
Baga grape.
IGP or Local Regional Wines Local Regional wines
are labelled for each region and can have larger
areas which encompass DOC wines. They have
the advantage of more flexibility in the selection
of grape varieties.
Northern Portugal In Vinho Verde
they are called IGP Minho.
In the Douro they are called IGP
Duriese
In Bairrada and Dao they are called
IGP Beiros.
All of these can also be called VR, the older term.
Central Portugal Two new IGP’s have been
created, IGP Lisboa which covers the Atlantic
Coastal area north of Lisbon, and IGP Tejo which
used to be called VR Ribatejano.
Southern Portugal IGP Setubal which includes
Palmela DOC and IGP Alentejano which covers an
extensive area.
Conclusions...
Portugal is now accepted as a top Quality Producer and is about 12th in the world
production league table. It is worth taking a close look at the labels for IGP wines as with
more flexibility in grape selection some attractive surprises are in store for us.

Wills_Wordagram_2016.indd 1 15/01/2016 15:38
At this early point in the new year why not
take steps to protect your assets, and your
loved ones, with a Will? Fiona Ashmead, of
Rudlings Wakelam Solicitors (left) explains
why it is well worth doing
Traditionally the New Year is
the time for reflection on the
last year and the goals we are
going to set ourselves for the
New Year. Most of us will have started
it planning to give up something -
perhaps cake or alcohol. Maybe we
have set our sights on an achievement
- a new job, weight loss, or spending
more time doing something we have
not made enough time for, whether it
be family or a previous pastime.
Whilst these resolutions may now be
slipping, what should still rank as
important on your ‘to-do list’ should
also be the goal of looking at how you
manage and look after your legal and
financial matters. Most assets which
people own have been won through
hard work and investment in time, and
therefore it is important that they are
looked after during your lifetime and
also after your death. Whilst the
majority of us are aware that we should
get affairs in order
make a Will, 60% of the nation still die
Intestate (without a Will) and thus leave
their assets to be distributed in a way
that they may not have chosen. If you
have not made a Will then this should
be at the top of your list. If you have
made a Will, still take five minutes to
consider whether your circumstances
or those of your beneficiaries have
changed. Such triggers to consider
include:
• New family members, children,
grandchildren, partners etc.
• Divorces, separations or marriages.
• Retirement and Pension Planning.
• Problems that may necessitate
adjustment to your list of
beneficiaries – Divorces, financial
difficulties or death.
Having made a Will or reviewed it,
then you need to consider the interim
position. If you were unable to handle
71
your own financial affairs through ill
health or lack of capacity, would you
not prefer to hand over the reins to
someone you trust and have
appointed? Bearing in mind the ability
to choose someone to look after your
financial affairs has been possible since
1985, too few people appoint an
attorney. Prior to 2007 it was
possible to make an Enduring Power of
Attorney and these are still valid
documents. Since 2007 it has been
possible to make a Lasting Power of
Attorney (LPA) for both financial matters
and also for health and welfare
decisions. Only 7% of adults have
chosen to make them. This means a lot
of people are needlessly struggling to
have their finances properly administered
or their health and welfare issues
addressed as they should be, especially
if they have lost mental capacity. If an
LPA has not been made then the more
lengthy and costly route of applying for
a Deputy to be appointed will become
necessary. This can cause stress and
delay in the intervening period before
a Deputy is appointed.
On the business side you also need to
check that you have the correct
agreements in place in relation to any
Partnership or Company you run or are
involved in. Are your partnership
agreements up to date, do you have
the correct directors or shareholders
agreements in place? Finally, if you
have lent money to a family member or
friend you should have this protected
by a charge being placed against a
property or a Declaration of Trust so
that in the event for example, where
you have lent a son or daughter money
and their relationship breaks down,
then you can safeguard the return of
that money. So whilst you may have set
goals for yourself in the New Year that
have lapsed, you still need
to complete your “to do”
list in relation to protecting
your assets and your loved
ones.

Especially
TO YOU
Greetings Card
Advice
BY RUBY REED
It seems a month doesn’t
go by without having to
pick out a card for some
sort of occasion- the
norm being a birthday
(or this month your
Valentine!).
I have to admit I am one
of the people who spend a
good 20 minutes reading
through 30+ cards in the
hope of finding one perfectly
suited.
However, it seems I am
not alone in this obsession
thanks to the trend in card creation websites that
allow you to make your very own.
Now by ‘own’ i mean your own photos, text and
handwriting!
Even if you have never ventured on to the website,
let alone used it, MoonPig.com is probably the
biggest name and the one you will have heard of
when it comes to online card making/sending.
Others include FunkyPigeon.com or create them on
an App such as Inkly.
The process starts with chosing your occasion or
from various categories such as ‘For Her’ followed
by a card design template. There are LOTS to
choose from!
An idea for a special valentine’s card this month
72

FEBRUARY FEBRUARY 2016 | ISSUE 2016 #40 | ISSUE | VALENTINES #40 DAY
would of course be to
include a photograph of
you and your other half
together!
For other general
occasions something I
believe would go down
well is a photo of the
person’s pet- everyone’s
favourite thing!
Or include an inside joke,
that exists only between
you and the person you’re
sending to.
Spend as long as you like
re-sizing, repositioning,
retyping and making other
alterations to your card.
When inside the card your
personal message can be
written in various style fonts, colours
and size.
So why not add a bit more sparkle to
someone’s special day by having them
open a card designed uniquely by you.
Without much effort at all, the websites
allow you to piece together something
you’d never find in the shop.
It’ll be one they might just keep... It’s
easy and its fun- smiles all round!
Apps such as Inkly provide the option of
including your own handwriting insideeliminating
the concern of not being
able to write in the card yourself.
This simply involves the app allowing
you to take a photograph on your phone
of your handwritten message.
After payment for your card, delivery
is a case of entering the recipients
address!
The card is then dispatched within a
few days or in some cases you are able
to give the specific date of delivery you
would like.

BY RACHEL DUCKER
The First
Time
On a brisk Sunday
afternoon we decided to
take our dog Archie for a
walk in Southwold...
After a short while, we came to the
harbour area and as we passed a fish
shop an idea sprung to mind. “Lets try
and cook a lobster for dinner? How hard
can it be”?
Ever since we reviewed a hotel in Aldeburgh
with a great seafood restaurant, we had been
wondering how to cook a lobster at home…
and it felt like a good idea... at the time.
As we walked up to the fish counter, warmly
greeted by the lady behind it, we asked if she
had a lobster big enough for two. She went out
to the freezer to have a look and hurried back
with two massive lobsters at the price of £20
each.
Naïvely we asked “are they still alive”? There
was no need for her to respond as their claws
started to move. She smiled.
We then asked for instructions on how to cook
and prepare the lobster. She said that you
could either put them head side up in boiling
water or you could run a knife quickly through
the brain, which apparently was the more
humane approach.
She also mentioned that if you freeze them
for a while before it puts them to sleep. My
thought at this moment “oh my god”!
We began to ask more questions, and as more
were answered, the horror and the look in my
partners eyes became more apparent, one of
us was going to have to kill it...
As we paid up and walked away, the lady then
added “best not to give a name you may get
attached,” I guess the look in our eyes was
clear for her to see too.
We put the lobster in the boot; it felt like we
were kidnapping it. All the way home we
silently regretted our decision and upon arrival
to our house, our lobster took a long sleep
74

FEBRUARY FEBRUARY 2016 | 2016 ISSUE | ISSUE #40 | #40 FEATURE
in the freezer. After lots of research on the
Internet, we decided the best course of action
was a quick death; and yes... of course I’d
bloody named the lobster by this point! So my
partner Sam, manned up to the task and I have
to confess, I was very grateful.
Whenever I had eaten lobster before nothing
could have prepared me for the sadness we
both felt at this moment. As the knife came
out, we were even more traumatized to see it
still moving.
You may think this article is truly disgusting or
you may think we were being pretty pathetic,
either way I have to say that this was not an
ordeal I wanted to put myself through in a
hurry again.
As we cooked the lobster accompanied with
steak, salad and some homemade chips, the
meal left a sour taste behind and I felt sick for
most of the evening. Karma at its best! In fact
even when entering the kitchen the next day it
felt like a murder scene.
What they don’t tell you is that this is
completely normal. As we squirmed and
panicked around the kitchen, tension started to
build around us, and emotions started to take
over the cooking. At this point we knew the
damage had been done.
So if you have what it takes to cook your own
lobster my advice is to make it quick, the
RSPCA also back the theory. If you are not
good with this either stick to the restaurants or
become a vegetarian. Perhaps the lesson is ‘if
you can’t kill it, don’t eat it’?
Need help with a ‘first time’
dilemma? Email us at
hello@bouncemagazine.co.uk
RSPCA’s unacceptable methods of killing
• Cutting the lobster across the body and thus
separating the head from the tail without first
destroying the nerve centres
• Boiling them alive
• Leaving lobsters in freshwater to drown
• Removing flesh from live animals
• Serving live crustaceans

“If I had to choose one
treatment this year it would
definitely be the COMCIT!
It has to be the most exciting
facial treatment we have ever
done. It takes the anti-ageing facial to
another level.
The treatment has 4 modes of action; Freeze
Therapy, Oxygen, Microchannelling and skin
Infusion. The skin is left beautifully hydrated and
has an instant firming and plumping effect. Perfect
for your special night out with your loved one!”
Dawn
“Everybody needs Gelish nails
an absolute must. Polish which
is high shine, instantly dry and
will last for at least 2 weeks.
Gelish also have the most
fabulous range, so you can go
for a sexy valentines red or choose another of the
amazing on trend colours.”
Lily
Louise
“Lycon Hot Wax is definitely the way forward for
any of you looking for intimate waxing. Using pre
wax oil, it leaves a perfectly smooth finish with very
little skin reaction and very little discomfort.
“I think relaxation is what most of our Valentines
need. I love the fact that people come in for couples
massage together at this time, we do Swedish, Hot
Stone or Aromatherapy.
I absolutely love doing these treatments and they also
make a lovely valentines gift.”
Hairs as short as 1mm will be removed. Could help
towards the perfect end to
your
Valentine evening!”

“OMG! Trending now, Russian Layered lashes! I
absolutely love these, they are fuller, high impact,
glamorous.
They are lighter than normal lashes and are layered
to give the wow factor. You will definitely get noticed
wearing these”.
“Your preparation is all very
important but lets not forget
the final look.
I recommend all my ladies a
mineral make-up , good for the skin and a fantastic
radiant finish.
My favourite little tricks are Bare Minerals Prime Time
to make my foundation look flawless and last well, a
dusting of Illuminating Mineral Veil for that luminous
finish and Bare minerals Stroke of light is an amazing
eye brightener.”

LOVE TO LOVE
yourself
Valentines is here, some of us love it
and some of us hate it.
So whether your having a nice evening with the one
you love and want to look your best, or your having
an evening in with a friend, mud masks, wine and
chickflicks, here are some products that would be
great for both.
BY CARLA MIREILLE JONES
For that evening with your loved one, Dior’s Diorskin
Forever and Ever Wear new Primer minimises pores
and imperfections, evens out skin tone whilst helping
your makeup stay on all day. For me this is a must
have. YSL Touche E’clate is always one of my must
have’s, used right it gives the radiance whilst still
looking natural. Use this under the eyes to help hide
those bags and on the cupids bow of your lips to give
a bit more of a natural pout.
Since its Valentine’s day a red lip can’t go a miss!
Dolce and Gabbana’s crème colour lipstick in Devil is
a pure Red with a matt finish and long lasting. This
is the same lipstick Scarlett Johansson wears in the
Dolce and Gabbana adverts.
If you’re planning a girly night in, a bit of a pamper
with some skin care is a must. Nu Skin’s Epoch Glacial
Marine Mud mask draws out impurities and leaves
your skin feeling fresh, renewed and looking clear and
healthy.
For a deep treatment use Clarins Lotus Face
Treatment Oil, re balances your skin and is made from
100% pure plant extracts.

ALL ABOUT
THE BOYS
SPONSORED BY CABELLO, HALESWORTH
February is the month of love and
romance; being able to express our
feelings and how we care about our
partner.
So as an alternative our column is going to consider
our husbands, boyfriends or male colleagues who
may need some gentle encouragement and TLC
when it comes to male grooming and style advice in
order that they keep their look stylish, updated on
trend and looking sharp!
Men may not be born with style but can be groomed
to have style. In past columns we’ve feature the
London Collection AW Male Runway shows. The
models hair for the Hackett collection had maturity
and statement in keeping with their great clothes.
Each fashion house had various interpretations on the
styling of the models, in-keeping with their runway
show. However, the strongest emerging male hair
trend from the London Collection is one of a classic
‘gentleman’ look with carefully considered partings,
heralding an era of English charm and edge, groomed
and with an expensive feel.

Tinie Tempah an ambassador for the
London Collection emphasised that the
‘Gentleman’s look is one of ownership’
and that he would be re-enforcing the
trend introducing some Prince of Wales
Check into his clothes collection.
To achieve the classic look our stylists at
Cabello, will either use clipper-work or
depending on preference scissor-cut to
a finger depth on side and back, leaving
a little longer on top with point cutting
being used to add natural texture and
movement removing weight where
necessary.
The shorter and sharper classic look with
the use of a product; ensures a classic
masculine finish one of energy and
ambition that will not be ruined as soon
as you are out of the door facing the
elements.
It is equally as important for our partners
to be using the correct shampoos and
conditioners for their hair type and to be
advised on the correct styling product
ensuring your man stands out from the crowd in a
subtle and sophisticated way.
The professional and premium products that we use
and recommend to our male clientele are all
specifically designed for men.
So show some love in February and encourage
your partner to book an appointment, our
stylists are experienced and will take care of
your loved one with a great haircut.
For the man in your life; like a tailored suit,
or an expensive watch treat him to a great
haircut!

Start a Romance with Your Skin...
So the month of luuuve has arrived,
and while it’s always lovely to dine
somewhere special with your other
half, receiving bouquet of flowers
and devouring delicious chocolates,

is not only different, but ridiculously
indulgent too.
With three luxurious packages especially created for
Valentine’s Day on offer at SK, there is something
for everyone’s needs and budgets.
The first package is the delightful SK Romance

spare time in short supply. It features the renowned

The second package is a complete sensory
experience. The SK Desire Me begins with the
award-winning Pevonia prescriptive facial, followed
by the glorious Tropical Oasis Wrap, featuring
Mango, Passion fruit, Vitamin C and creamy yogurt.
Nails are next with a Colour Gloss Gel overlay
Manicure or pedicure, then dine on a healthy light
lunch in relaxation lounge. Who would want that as
a gift? 3 1/2 hours devoted to you, yes please!
Last but not least, if you really want to go all out,
the 4-hour long SK Love Me package really will
woo your better half. The Pevonia Stones Relax

And so starts the exciting
flourish of new spring

Such an inspiring time, that
has us looking forward to
slightly brighter days and
lighter evenings, in the not
too distant future.
We have recently seen the latest designs from
Osborne & Little and Sanderson, quite a contrast
in style and colour palette, meaning, as always,
something to suit all tastes.
From Osborne & Little, Lorca has created
‘Arodonis’, a collection of sumptuous fabrics,
taking inspiration from the decoration and

architecture of the Eastern Mediterranean.
Known for their crisp colour palette such
as fuchsia, lavender, orange and turquoise,
these have been cleverly blended with the
softer tones of apple, hyacinth, linen and
taupe.
Beside this collection, Osborne & Little
has commissioned an influential woven
textile designer, Margo Selby, to create an
exclusive collection of furnishing fabrics
based on original designs produced on
hand looms. The collection pays tribute
to the greats of ragtime and jazz with a
palette which includes distinctive colour
combinations: grape and chartreuse with
duck egg, indigo with burnt orange and
teal, mandarin with coral and ice.

The main offering is the stunning
‘Fantasque’ collection, fabric and
wallpapers influenced by the artistic and
cultural movements of the early 20th century London and Paris. The abstract and geometric
designs in vibrant colourings, aim to reflect the glamour of the era. Colours include ultramarine,
turquoise, magenta, chartreuse and burnt orange interspersed with quieter tones such as
terracotta, stone, taupe and silver.
So, from a glamorous show stopper to a more gentle, English theme, Sanderson have produced
the exquisite ‘Woodland Walk’ taking us on a joyous stroll through our beautiful landscape.
Inspired by British woodlands and wildlife, the cloths are natural, the imagery beautifully handdrawn
and painted. The elements of the
collection, work harmoniously together to
create a sophisticated, modern country
style.
There are so many other gorgeous fabrics
and wallpapers emerging from many
suppliers, we are so looking forward to
putting them all into reality with our
projects for 2016!
See you next month...

SPRING IS IN SIGHT
BY KATE LINES
Kates Top Tip : Don’t leave houseplants on
windowsills behind the curtains on frosty nights,
especially if your windows are not double-glazed.
This month there are signs of the
approaching spring, with bulbs
appearing and wildlife waking up
as light levels and temperatures
increase.
General
There’s plenty to do indoors this month to prepare
for the season ahead.
Outdoors, as the garden comes to life again, it’s time
to prune shrubs and climbers, such as Wisteria as
well as evergreen hedges.
Sowing and planting
Lily bulbs can be planted in pots, for flowers this
summer. After growing on indoors or in a cool
greenhouse, they can be moved onto the patio when
in flower, so that you can enjoy the blooms.
Bulbs coming up in the rock garden or in containers
may benefit from overhead protection from the
rain and snow. A sheet of glass or Perspex placed
on piles of bricks will do the job. Sweet peas can
be sown under cloches, in a cold frame, or in a cool
room in the house.
Any sweet peas that were sown earlier in the autumn
can now be potted.

So it’s a cold dark February, you’re
already rueing the excesses over
Christmas where you promised yourself
you wouldn’t over do it...
but you did and January has been spent
devouring all the chocolate presents because you
“need them out of the house”.
However whilst it may not feel like it Spring it is
just around the corner and you may have already
booked your summer holibobs, but you’re worried
that whilst lying on that beach someone from
Greenpeace might try to roll you back into the
sea! Well fret not, we have an answer...
365Motivate Bootcamp!
Bootcamps are a series of regular exercise
sessions based on a high intense interval training
(HIIT) style which, when coupled with a healthy
diet, can be the best way to lose weight and
improve fitness. This is done within a group of like
minded individuals all working towards similar
goals, this generates an excellent camaraderie
between you and your fellow “Bootcampers”
where the level of support, encouragement
and competition really helps you meet and
exceed your targets. All of this is orchestrated

a half course of 16 sessions (2 per week) will cost
just £99. Can’t wait? There is a course running
right now and you can join for £8 per session.

was the polar opposite. Leeds United came to
Portman Road and stunned all inside the old
stadium with a goal inside 12 seconds.
HECTIC WEEK AT IP1 SHOWCASES
THE BEST AND NOT-SO-BEST
SIDES OF IPSWICH TOWN...
It’s never easy following Ipswich
Town – as three quick-fire home
matches perfectly illustrated.
A scrappy, disjointed FA Cup performance,
drawing 2-2 with League Two
Portsmouth, was probably to
be expected.
Mick McCarthy stuck to
type by bringing in several
of his fringe players – in a
move mirrored by many
Championship managers
entering the competition,
not to mention the Premier
League of course.
Disappointing for some,
it did give the likes of Tommy Oar a chance
to show his worth – but in slightly false
circumstances amid several players looking to
do the same in an unusual-looking starting XI.
The likes of Piotr Malarczyk and the newlysigned
Paul Digby would have surely looked
better, and certainly more confident, having a
Christophe Berra alongside them.
Portsmouth were polished and excellent,
Ipswich were just poor. But they didn’t lose, so
some confidence can be gained from that.
Three-and-a-half days later, the performance
It was the quickest in the Football League this
season and earned Jonny Ogle, the club’s excellent
digital media editor, some online fame after he
admitted on Twitter he missed the goal.
Fortunately, Jonny and the Town fans were able to
sit comfortably there on in as Ipswich proceeded to
produce their best performance of the season.
The winner might have come late, courtesy of Brett
Pitman’s head and Ryan Fraser’s exquisite skill, but it
was well deserved.
A hectic home week was concluded by the visit of
Preston when Ipswich played like I felt – jaded and a
little under the weather.
Town were denied a stonewall
penalty but Preston were also
unfortunate to see a goal ruled
out for offside with a 1-1 draw
ultimately fair, though feeling
like points dropped after some
odd results at the top end of the
Championship.
What does three home games in
eight days tell us about Ipswich?
Probably nothing we didn’t
already know. They are not the best team in the
Championship, but they are one of the most hardworking
who never know when they are beaten.
Admirable qualities and ones that mean I remain
convinced we will be seeing them in the play-offs
at the end of the season. And if they could just
bottle that 90 minutes against Leeds, well around 75
minutes, then we really would be getting excited.

struggle against a team who boast two of
the best bowlers in the World and two of
the best batsmen to have played the game
in the past decade.
It is safe to say that England’s
cricketers have well and truly
proven me wrong when it
comes to me criticising the
team selection and the lack
of Ian Bell for the series in
South Africa.
That England have gone on to win the
series 2-1 (at the time of writing England
are 2-0 up but need one hell of a batting
performance to save the 4th and final Test)
shows just how far this side has come and
looks like it will go.
England started the 1st Test without their
senior strike bowler (and the country’s
all time highest wicket taker) James
Anderson in Durban.
This looked from the outside as if it could
potentially cause an issue. Steven Finn,
Moeen Ali and Stuart Broad however
stepped up to the plate and helped
England to win the 1st Test.

With Nick Compton (a man who I thought
would not be good enough to replace Ian
Bell at number 3) top scoring with 85 in
the 1st innings and scoring 49 in the 2nd
showing how wrong I was.
This was further helped by Vernan
Phillander missing the entire series through
injury and Dale Steyn (a man who for the
past decade has been the number 1 ranked
bowler in the world) breaking down with
a shoulder injury which has also meant he
missed the last 3 matches of the series.
The second Test in Cape Town was one
which will go down in memory and history
thanks largely to one man.
Ben Stokes hit a remarkably 258 in
England’s 1st innings. What made this an
amazing innings was the pure brutality of it.
Stoke’s 258 broke all sorts of batting
records including the 1st batsman to ever
score a double hundred for England
batting at number 6. Stokes along with
Johnny Bairstow (who scored his maiden
Test century and maiden Test 150) helped
England to posting over 600 for the 1st
time since 2011 against Australia.
Although this went on to be a drawn
match, it was one that will live on for some
time in the memory.
The struggling Captain of South Africa
became the 4th Captain in 4 series
between England and South Africa to
resign. A. B De Villiers was named the new
Captain and this will potentially be very
exciting to watch.
England took a 10 run lead into the 2nd
innings before Stuart Broad stole the show
with another bowling spell which just
shows how hard he is to play when he gets
his tail up.
His 6 for 17 ripped the heart out of the
home side that were eventually all out for
83. This left England needing just 74 to win
which were knocked off (fairly) easily.
During this demolition of the South African
batting line up James Taylor took 2 of the
best catches you will see close to the bat
(fielding at silly mid wicket).
This backing up of the bowlers showed
what this new England side is all about.
The way they have gone about things in
South Africa gives me optimism that they
are heading in the right direction.
The only slight concern which remains
is over the opening batsman to partner
Alistair Cook.
Alex Hales although scoring 60 in the first
innings at Cape Town (the 2nd Test) he has
looked suspect against the ball just outside
off stump.
I hope the selectors will give him more
time in the side as it is a big jump up from
County to Test Match cricket.
Overall the future looks promising... now to
see how the One Day side gets on.
The third Test in Johannesburg was one
South Africa was expected to do very
well at. It was however the tourists who
flourished.

THEATRE
ROYAL
BY NICKI DIXON
Hopefully as we enter February the
days will be a little brighter and, who
knows, the snowdrops might be
poking their heads up to cheer us.
Our first big drama for February is the
critically acclaimed Land of Our Fathers
which has received five star reviews from
the likes of Time Out and The Stage.
It’s set in 1979 and six Welsh miners are trapped
down a coal mine. As the men await their rescue,
secret emerge and accusations fly and within
two weeks, everything they believe in and
everything they know will have changed.
Also, we welcome legendary DJ David Hamilton
who brings the hits from the 50s and 60s in his
Rock n Roll Back The Years Show on 11 February.
This guaranteed to be a proper nostalgic trip
down Memory Lane for music fans!
For those who love that Big Band sound, on 20
February we welcome the Nick Ross Orchestra
with the Sounds of Glenn Miller. With a full
line-up of saxophones, trumpets, trombones, a
rhythm section and top singers, the Nick Ross
Orchestra faithfully recreates the wonderful
sounds of the bands led by Glenn Miller, Count
Basie, Harry James and
Tommy Dorsey.
We’re also welcoming back OperaUpClose on 23
and 24 February with Bizet’s Carmen.
Set in a torrid South American landscape of
dust and concrete, sparks fly when Carmen
meets Jose but as her passion cools, his turns to
obsession.
Heading towards the end of February, Original
Theatre Company presents Flare Path from 29
February to 5 March. This epic wartime romance
is set in 1942 and paints a portrait of life in
wartime Britain for RAF bomber crews and their
wives and sweethearts. Highly charged drama
with a truly authentic taste of fear, camaraderie
and passion, it sets the scenes for an emotional
conflict as unpredictable as the war in the skies.
Our new Spring season brochure is now out and
available from our Box Office, or online!

#21 ENTERTAINMENT
BY JACK STEVENS
MUSIC
Some bands evolve from the ashes
of dead projects – others spawn
from existing and active lines, but
with a different message.
This is a group who are of the latter. Ones to
watch in 2016, Gaffa Tape Sandy, are a trio
that have emerged as a side project of the
existing West Suffolk quintet FORTUNATO,
but with a heavier sound and more abrupt
message in the form of a double-sided single.
I caught up with them after performing
in Ipswich in early January to gage an
understanding of the new outfit.
So guys, others will know you better as
members of FORTUNATO. This project is
different to that, in how raucous it is. What
inspired the need for a more aggressive side
project?
“Well we’ve all always loved and listened to
this type of music, so decided we wanted
an outlet for the grittier songs that we’ve
been writing in our own time as they’re less
fitting to the sound of FORTUNATO. After
putting the songs together we realised how
much we all like to write catchy, somewhat
unconventional rock songs.”
Your first two tracks (‘Smart Dressed Guy’
and ‘L’appelle Du’Vide’) are being released
117
in February as free downloads. I’m aware
that you’re planning to do a CD format for
the singles - will there be any other formats
available and how can people get hold of
them?
“As of now those are our only plans to release
them, but the CDs will be available in shops
that sell local music such as Vinyl Hunter, and
hopefully other shops such as Sounds Plus
and Hardcore Hobbies. We’ll also be taking
them to every show we play, or if people really
want to get a hold of them they can message
our page and we can sort something out! Free
downloads will be available [online] and the
songs will also be available on Spotify and
iTunes.”
I can certainly hear a No-Wave influence in the
new material, with bands like Sonic Youth and
Mission of Burma springing to mind. Is that a
fair comparison? What inspires this type of
music which is different to FORTUNATO?
“I’d say that is a fair comparison! We’re all
big Sonic Youth fans. It’s hard narrowing it
down to just a few inspirations, but we would
include Neutral Milk Hotel, The Gerbils, various
Jack White projects, Wavves and Pixies.”
And what can we expect next from you lot?
Any further long term plans for recording, or
any live dates on the horizon?
“We’re headlining Bury SOUND Heat Two on
February 12th, and doing Sounds like the Live
Sessions #2 with SuperGlu and Jack Rundell in
March, both gigs at The Hunter Club [Bury St.
Edmunds]. Currently we’re trying to get more
gigs outside of Bury, and wish to just play as
many shows as we can! In the future we would
love to return to record with the fantastic
George Perks again and have a lot of songs
that are studio-ready.”
See you next month - Jack

LOOKING FOR LOVE…
Ahhh Valentines is upon us once
again. A night of love, romance,
spending way too much on
restaurants.
To me, valentines night is one of my most feared,
most stressful and definitely the most hated night of
the year, usually as I have to watch everyone else get
bloomin’ romantic. So after all this observin’ I feel
like a guru now and want to give you my top tips.
1. Book the meal in advance! If you don’t your
romantic meal may involve a Big Mac and fries (or in
dog terms think Lady and the Tramp). If you do end
up at maccy D’s - ask nicely they may have a candle
they could put on the table for you, I still don’t
think your date will be happy about it though. Uff.
course your words are already being slurred by
dessert you’re nearly done. This is generally done
by old married couples who are drinking to hide the
fact that after 10 years of marriage they can’t stand
each other, but on the upside they get to enjoy
dessert twice as it comes back, normally just before
bed.
4. Don’t be to OTT – Be mindful of others like moi, I
know you have your own unique way of trying each
others food, no one needs to see that, I do not share
my food!
Happy V Day! Find me on Twitter @bouncearchie.
2. If it’s a first date… Good luck, a massively highrisk
maneuver taking someone out on Valentines
night as a first date. You’d better make sure you
know the person well otherwise who knows where
you may end up.
3. Watch the boozin’ - Ordering their aperitif before
you even reach the table is a bad sign. By main
