BY ZEE BATTERSBY 

I’m not old i’m 

retro 

Check out my 

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. 

Hello you, and hello April! 

It’s a great month for me as it’s my birthday… 

I turn 43 this year! It’s also my daughter’s 

birthday and the beginning of spring. I also 

love the crisp mornings and 

the sun starting to break 

through more frequently. It’s 

Perfect weather for hacking 

out around the Suffolk 

countryside, something I’ve 

enjoyed immensely for at least 

30 years! 

Now is the perfect time to have 

a sift through your wardrobe 

and get rid of anything that you 

haven’t worn for a few years 

or more! I did this recently as 

we’ve just bought a house and 

I have to say it’s very cathartic. 

I’m a terrible hoarder and 

the complete opposite to my 

husband… I think I’m just way 

to sentimental. Shoes are easy, 

but there are some items I’ve had for years 

that I just can’t bear to part with! When it comes 

to updating your wardrobe, I find its better to buy 

a few high fashion key items each season. 

These can be items from the high 

street that don’t cost very much, but 

ones that you can incorporate into 

you existing wardrobe. 

I’ve spoken before about adding 

coloured tights to summer dresses 

to make them last throughout 

autumn and the same can be said 

for spring. 

I have personally never followed a 

trend to the letter and could never 

be a purist as I get too distracted! 

I’m also aware of what suits me 

and what I’m most comfortable 

in. Anyway enough of my waffle, 

here are my favourite fashion trends for spring. 

At the moment embroidery is everywhere. I love 

the light to dark denim items that are starting to 

14

APRIL APRIL 2016 | 2016 ISSUE | ISSUE #42 | #42 FASHION 

FASHION 

appear online at ASOS and BOOHOO. 

I found these amazing jeans on ASOS. They are 

perfect to wear with a crisp white shirt and some 

chunky shoes or brogues. If you’re not brave 

enough then why not try accessorizing instead. 

This gorgeous little bag is from TOPSHOP and is 

real leather. 

Another big trend for spring is the prairie look. 

I’m avoiding this look with a barge pole because 

unless you are six foot tall and shaped like an 

ironing board, you will run the risk of looking like 

Edina from ABFAB!!! It’s not one of my favourites 

but again a shawl and shirt may be forgiven just 

don’t go the whole Hogg. 

Whatever you have planned over April enjoy it. If 

you have any fashion shows, collection launches 

or events you would like me to cover please get 

in touch I’d love to hear from you. 

Stay stylish - Love Zee x 

I’m not old i’m retro

Women of a certain age will remember back 

in the 80’s designer Katherine Hammnet 

commissioned a range of slogan t-shirts for 

charities and to make political, environmental 

and humanitarian statement. This medium has 

never gone away and my most recent purchase is 

from a newly set up charity called “the women’s 

genealogical fund” their “lady garden” campaign 

is the first of many I expect, and is aimed at 

ovarian and cervical cancers. The t shirts are 

available from Topshop at £28. It’s a cause very 

close to myself, and my family so I’m wearing 

mine with pride. 

I’m still filling my diary for the next few months 

and my first, in a series of interviews, is almost 

finished. Page 3 and playboy icon Kathy Lloyd 

met me for an interview. She talks to me about 

life after page three and playboy, marriage, 

motherhood and why she wouldn’t want her 

daughter Lola to follow her into the glamourmodelling 

world. 

I have to say she is lovely. I’m also meeting Sinnita 

which should b great fun. My blog is aimed at a 

broad cross section of amazing women from all 

walks of life I’m not ruling anyone out. I’ve always 

believed women should lift each other up and 

be empowered. Everyone has a story to tell. My 

husband says I’m good at it because I’m nosey!! I 

have no idea what he means.

T-shirts are the staple to everyone’s 

wardrobe. 

TIPS & ADVICE THIS SEASON 

THE PERFECT 

fit 

Whether you’re using them as part of a layered 

look or going for classical simple style a tee is 

the foundation of your look which is why it is so 

important to find the right fit. 

Most high-streets offer a “basics” range making it 

easy to pick up replacements when needed. 

There are so many different fits and styles to 

choose from so I’ve detailed some of these for 

you this month in preparation for the Spring/ 

Summer season… 

Before even looking at styles you need to make 

sure you’re getting the right fit. 

BY DANIEL FRANCIS 

This means avoiding both extremes or too baggy 

and too tight. You want comfortably snug without 

too much excess space. 

In terms of the seams you want to think in the 

16

APRIL APRIL 2016 2016 | | ISSUE | ISSUE #42 | #42 FASHION 

FASHION 

same way as you would when trying 

on a suit. The shoulder seams should 

line up with your shoulders (sounds 

obvious right?). Your t-shirt should 

also sit on your hips. 

Scoop neck 

t-shirt 

Although there are several extra-long styles on 

the market these are quite clearly different sizes 

to the usual style. 

Finally you need to look at the sleeve length 

however this is the area I would suggest most up 

for personal opinion and how comfortable you 

are with your arms. I would say though, make 

sure these, like the rest of the tee, aren’t excessive 

baggy. 

T-shirt collars make can make a big difference to 

the overall look. 

Traditionally you’ll be choosing between a crew 

(typical rounded collar) and a V neck (be wary of 

the an overly deep “Simon Cowell” look no matter 

how good you think your chest looks). A short 

tight V looks much better but do elongate your 

shape. 

Alongside these you’ll find scooped lines; a looser, 

lower rounded, which create a much more relaxed 

vibe, as well as the revived “granddad” collar 

which have a bit more structure around the neck 

and usually between two – four buttons down the 

front. 

These often come with additional details such as 

highlight colours and are also great for layering 

under shirts. Try on each of these styles in store 

and you’ll soon find the one you best prefer. 

If you’re looking to cover all bases and have a 

t-shirt for every outfit you want to have white, 

black, grey and navy coloured options. 

Even better, a couple in each of these colours. 

Anything on top of that is down to personal 

preference and / or your colouring. I will say that 

green is in this season.

Real Brides Special

Natasha & Nathan 

June 2015 

Hawstead Church & The Suffolk Barn Hawstead 

Real bride Natasha chose Angelic Weddings to create her 

Invitations and some of her venue stationery for her big day 

back in June. 

Cornflower blue, floral country garden chic with a bird theme 

was just stunning against the back drop of a quaint Suffolk 

village church and rustic Suffolk barn. 

Natasha chose ivory card, blue floral print, bird cage die cuts 

and cornflower blue satin ribbon. Deluxe wallet style invitations 

with inserts and matching RSVP cards along with venue 

stationery which included table names, menu cards, table plan 

and order of service cards. 

Luggage tag style table names were tied to birdcage 

centrepieces, menu cards were mounted to artist board and 

stood on mini wooden easels, bespoke order of service cards

carried through the birdcage design and the stunning table plan was 

designed around Natasha’s own large cream ornate picture frame. 

Natasha chose Ivory and blue flowers including Hydrangeas, Lilies 

and Gypsophila finishing off the country garden theme. 

Q: WHY DID YOU CHOSE YOUR VENUE? 

A: “We choose the venue because it was very close to my parents’ 

house and it had beautiful views of the countryside”. 

Q: WHAT WAS YOUR FAVOURITE PART OF THE DAY? 

A: “Driving up the long drive to the venue in our horse and carriage 

just married”. 

Q: WHAT WAS YOUR FAVOURITE ITEM FROM ANGELIC 

WEDDINGS? 

A: “I loved all my stationery but my favourite was probably the table 

plan as it was just such a striking centre piece setting the whole 

theme of the wedding”.

APRIL 2016 APRIL | ISSUE 2016 #42 | ISSUE | BOUNCE #42 FEATURE 

WILL YOUNG 

BOUNCE INTERVIEW WITH RACHEL DUCKER 

After an afternoon of racing, Will 

Young is set to headline at this years 

Newmarket Nights on Friday 24 th 

June 2016. The date will also mark 

the beginning of celebrations for 

Newmarket Racecourses in their 

landmark 350 th year as The Home of 

Horseracing. 

Will Young’s debut single ‘Evergreen/ 

Anything Is Possible’ is included in the 

bestselling singles of all time in the 

UK, having sold over 1.7million copies 

alone. His 6th studio album ‘85% Proof’ 

arrived at the top of the charts in 2015 

(making this fourth No.1 album), and 

represents his most accomplished work 

to date, cementing Will’s status as both 

a national icon and artistic powerhouse. 

Bounce Editor Rachel Ducker, caught 

up personally with Will for an exclusive 

interview. 

Q: Back to the start, how did it feel to be 

the first to person to win ‘Pop Idol’ back 

in 2002? 

My gosh, I guess in terms of the first 

person, I definitely have a sense of 

pride in that as I feel like myself and the 

contestants were an integral part of Pop 

Idol, and then in terms of winning the 

show, doing the show, being on it I loved 

it, every minute. 

Q: What was your best experience about 

the show? 

My best experience was singing, as I’d 

never sung on a microphone, so just to 

sing on a microphone was just, the best 

thing ever. 

Q: How did this differ to ‘World Idol’ as 

this must have been on a much larger 

scale? 

Oh World Idol was s**t! It was one of my 

only regrets, it was the worst thing I’ve 

ever done. 

Well at least you are honest about it… 

I was honest on the night! I kept on 

pretending to fall asleep… it was so awful! 

Q: Previous to this you did try out for 

another boy band audition though? 

What happened? 

Yeah at the time it was very exciting, I 

mean it didn’t last very long, it was all a 

bit crap actually, they promised things 

that didn’t actually happen. 

Q: Was this the first time you met Simon 

Cowell? 

Yeah, yeah terrific to meet him! 

Q: You became quite well known to the 

public after you stood up for yourself 

and the other contestants to Simon 

Cowell during Pop Idol. 

That must have taken some guts! ...

the races!’

APRIL APRIL 2016 | 2016 ISSUE | ISSUE #42 | #42 BOUNCE FEATURE 

FEATURE 

Um yeah, I’ve been raised to stand up 

to bullies, that’s really from my parents, 

and actually weirdly looking at my family, 

especially my dads side, my great, great 

grandfathers and their sons freed slaves 

and did a lot for the good of people so I 

think its in my DNA really? 

Q: But you did it in such a polite way? 

Well, I just think you can fight rudeness 

with rudeness and I’m talking generally, 

as I don’t like honing in on that one event, 

it was so long ago. I try to be as polite as 

possible, whilst being as firm as possible. 

Being polite doesn’t mean that you’re a 

push over, like sometimes people might 

come up to me and I might be in the 

middle of lunch or something and I will 

just be very polite but very firm. 

Q: You participate in a lot of work for 

various charities. What has inspired you 

to help the charities and what are they? 

Well, Women’s Aid came about as I did 

one of my dissertations on Domestic 

Violence. Mencap, as I wanted to do 

something for young people and I think 

education is so important, so helping 

young people with learning difficulties 

seemed the right fit. Catch 22 is a young 

charity helping disadvantaged kids and 

there is also the Dog Foundation, which 

is the second biggest dog charity in the 

world now, based in Thailand. 

Q: One of your releases ‘What the world 

needs now’ was to help raise awareness 

of our declining wildlife population, 

which I think is brilliant how did this 

come about? 

WWF came to me and asked if I wanted 

to do it, it only took two days of my time 

and of course I was going to do it. 

Q: Do you feel you can make more of a 

difference by using your profile? 

Oh yeah, one hundred percent, I think 

it’s a responsibility, but before it’s a 

responsibility, it’s a desire, by me really. 

I would be doing it if I wasn’t famous, 

the great thing is I think with my politics 

degree, I like to have informed debates 

and sometimes they get a bit firey! 

Q: How would you deal with any 

negative comments towards you? 

I don’t find it hard, for several reasons. 

I think everyone’s entitled to their own 

opinions, however if someone wants to 

give them its up to them. If someone 

wants to generate debate, I think that’s 

a great thing, and I also will react to how 

the opinion is given, so if it is given in an 

adult and appropriate way, then great, 

I am happy to talk to anyone, but if it is 

in a threatening way, then I am just not 

interested my life is too short you know. 

Q: Your tour kicks off pretty soon and 

your stopping at Newmarket this year, 

have you ever been to Newmarket 

Races? 

Yeah, I’ve done it before! I’m not great at 

choosing winners, it’s a complete fluke, 

but I always get a place at least, so I am 

definitely going to be placing a bet. 

Q: What can we expect on the night from 

you? 

Oh gosh, I’m so excited, it’s a completely 

different night to the tour, which is 

terrifying my tour manager, there’s quite 

a few outfits, its going to be a really, 

really fun show and its going to go quite 

disco as the lights go down. I have just 

chosen all my outfits, which are a mixture 

of charity shop buys and then designer 

buys, but all I’m going to say is that I am 

customizing a vehicle for the occasion! 

Oh an exclusive right here! ...

Q: So I have a few readers’ questions for 

you if that’s ok Will. All of your music 

videos are different, what was your 

favourite one to film and why? 

I loved working with my friend on ‘All 

time love’, ‘Let it go’, ‘Like a river’ and 

‘Brave man’ – we come from a very similar 

place artistically, we like to do stuff that 

actually tells something about the world, 

I am always very proud of that, but I think 

maybe its sometimes to my detriment 

and maybe I should do more of a fluffy 

video! 

Q: After appearing on ‘Celebrity Bake 

Off’, what was your favourite bake and 

why? Is it true you almost poisoned 

Mary Berry? 

That is true, but they cut that from the 

show! Um, the Tomato Soup Cup Cakes I 

think its an untapped market, I don’t think 

I’ve got the bake quite right but I think 

when I do I could be the new Delia Smith. 

Q: I hear you were keen on sports before 

you got into music and wanted to feature 

in the Olympics? How did you get on 

with the Sports Relief synchronized 

swimming? 

Yes… I am one of those people who still 

believes if I train hard enough I could 

be in the Olypmics one day, ha ha, 

so funny! The syncronized swimming 

was absolutely brilliant and one of the 

highlights of my life. To learn a sport like 

that, its just amazing. I love swimming, 

I love dancing and I love doing things 

in teams, so to be a part of a team is 

brilliant. It’s very relaxing but at the same 

time as being very taxing, its like pilates 

in water! 

Q: If you could hear one song for the 

rest of your life, which one out of these 

two would it be Gareth Gates ‘unchained 

melody’ or Gareth Gates ‘Spirit in the 

sky’? 

Unchained Melody. 

Q: You presented ‘Perspectives: Rene 

Magritte. What is your favourite piece of 

art in the world and why? 

My favourite isn’t actually a Magritte 

painting, its Frescoes of the Good and 

Bad Government by Ambrogio Lorenzetti, 

which I studied at university and its in 

Sienna. I went to see it and it just blew my 

mind, I mean if only I knew more about 

art, it depicts democracy and done in the 

1600’s is just mind blowing. I think every 

Politian should see it, oh its just beautiful! 

Q: Lastly, I have recently partnered with 

a brilliant artisan coffee company, called 

Paddy & Scotts, the team would love to 

know if you like coffee, if so how do you 

like it? 

I’m drinking one at the moment! Uh, I 

think I prefer the milk rather than the 

coffee itself, the best coffee I ever had 

was in Zanzibar, just rich and uh, just 

amazing. To be honest it’s all about the 

cigarette with the coffee for me! 

Its great you are so honest WIll! 

We don’t have to live in fear, and in the 

pop industry people are very scared. I 

think its very important to know ourselves 

and I think when we know ourselves 

we’re not so scared about how we are 

perceived as it doesn’t really matter. 

Will you come to the gig at Newmarket? 

I hope to, looking forward to it Will 

thanks for your time and good luck with 

the tour.

EXERCISE 

for everyone 

ENJOY A WORKOUT THAT TONES THE WHOLE BODY 

Are you looking for a safe and 

effective workout that is fun, 

sociable and brings speedy results? 

Give NORDIC WALKING a try. 

Everyone knows that walking is good for you 

and we are constantly being told to ditch the 

car to travel by foot, take the stairs instead 

of the lift, park furthers away from the 

shops, etc... 

With Nordic Walking, you’ll be on your way to 

results faster than you think, too. 

The use of the poles makes the walking feel 

easier but actually propels you and makes you 

lighter on your feet. 

You will find you can walk faster and further 

than usual and soon notice the improvements 

in posture, muscle tone and weight/inch loss 

too - what’s NOT to LOVE about that!!!! 

Nordic Walking is an enhancement of ordinary 

walking — it makes something we learn to do 

as babies... twice as effective! 

It is a specific fitness technique and is not to 

be confused with trekking, hill walking or trail 

running. 

If you want to get into shape, boost health or 

just get active. 

Nordic walking is a simple way to exercise 

the whole body and can be easily fitted 

into a hectic lifestyle as it provides effective 

calorie burning, tones the arms and legs 

and improves posture. It’s also great for 

stress, easy on the joints and beneficial for 

conditions like osteoporosis. 

Nordic Walking can be done by anybody, 

anywhere and does not require expensive kit. 

Kevin Marshall of Positive Steps Fitness and 

Wellbeing is a delivery partner for Nordic 

Walking UK and runs regular tasters sessions

Become a 

Shedder... 

AT THE HALESWORTH MEN’S SHED 

APRIL 2016 APRIL | ISSUE 2016 #42 | ISSUE | HEALTH #42 & WELLBEING 

Halesworth Men’s Shed exists to 

encourage people from all walks of 

life and all parts of the community 

and have a good time together 

sharing experiences, skills and 

learning in ‘The Shed’, following the 

original principles of an idea which 

started in Australia. 

A Men’s Shed is a larger version of the typical 

man’s shed in the garden – a place where he feels 

at home and pursues practical interests with a 

high degree of autonomy. 

The idea is to offer this to a group of such men 

where members share the tools and resources 

they need to work on projects of their own 

choosing at their own pace and in a safe, friendly 

and inclusive venue. 

They are places of skill-sharing and informal 

learning, of individual pursuits and community 

projects, of purpose, achievement and social 

interaction. A place of leisure where men come 

together to work. 

The Halesworth Men’s Shed was formed early in 

2014 and in April 2015 and joined forces with the 

Halesworth Volunteer Centre. 

In June 2015 they moved into their spacious 

premises, close to the town centre, behind 

Chinny’s car park, 27 Norwich Road. This has 

been totally refurbished and fitted out as a 

workshop and leisure area. 

All are welcome to join with no financial 

obligation. The idea is to come when you can, 

make what you want, have a chat, mend what 

is broken, contribute what you can and share 

experiences. 

Although Sheds mostly attract older men, 

some have included men of any age, women 

and young people. Whichever activities are 

pursued the essence of a Shed is not a building, 

which some don’t have, but the network of 

relationships between the members. 

To become a ‘Shedder’, you can pop along to 

see if you like it, have a cuppa and speak to the 

other members. If you want to join, then you 

can, in fact it is as easy as pie. 

The aim is to make the Shed as free as possible 

34

WELLBEING 

APRIL 2016 APRIL | ISSUE 2016 #42 | | ISSUE HEALTH #42& WELLBEING 

by funding it through donations, sales and grants. 

Shedders donate what they can afford. 

All members have skills and experiences and 

in the Shed they try to harness them for the 

common good, encouraging everyone to share 

and contribute what they can from their own 

capabilities and interests and enjoy each others 

company in a safe environment. 

This generates a lively learning and sharing vitality, 

that the shedders thrive on, enabling the growth of 

the Shed in the community. 

“I have been with Halesworth shed from its start 

last year. I had only just moved into the area, and 

have made many new friends through the Shed. 

I believe the Shed movement is very important 

indeed, as getting older for men (and women) 

is in many ways about managing loss:- Loss of 

job through retirement or redundancy, loss of 

identity and status can accompany this, loss of 

the health and vigour that once perhaps could 

be relied upon, loss of mental agility goes hand 

in hand with this, loss of a life partner through 

bereavement or divorce. I have experienced more 

than one of these in the past few years, and having 

the opportunity to meet other guys who have had 

to deal with these sort of issues too has been a 

great help. 

The discussion of these experiences, even if only 

in light conversation, I’m sure will be increasingly 

beneficial to the membership’s wellbeing”. 

- John D 

Activities include woodworking, wood turning, 

model making, chatting and drinking tea and coffee. 

The team hope to extend to metalworking, 

computer electronics and other practical pastimes, 

as well as making and repairing items to sell. These 

have included planters made from recycled timber 

for sale in street fairs and to local businesses. 

Contact The Halesworth Men Shed via their email

2pm or Saturday from 10am to noon.

THE FITNESS REVOLUTION... 

It’s no secret waking up to the realisation 

that exercising outdoors is better for 

you than working out in the confines of 

those all too familiar four walls of a gym 

- but have you ever actually considered 

why so many of us across the region 

are joining the fitness revolution that is 

Liberté Fitness? 

Yes the outdoors will fill you with natural 

Vitamin D, yes the outdoor encourages 

you to release and de-stress, and yes the 

outdoors allows you to fill your lungs 

with some of the freshest air you will have 

breathed in all day, but what is the secret 

ingredient that sees members coming 

back, come rain, snow or shine? 

Fun! Unparalleled and unquestionable fun. 

The entire Liberté Fitness experienced is 

tailored to you and your training needs, 

as you use your own bodyweight and that 

of others, Liberté Fitness will push you 

to your limits. Working in the gorgeous 

Nowton Park in Bury St Edmunds, we can’t 

get enough of what Liberté Fitness offers. 

As we welcome the first signs of spring, 

it’s no wonder we’re waking up to the 

realisation that our New Year Resolutions 

remain unresolved! Liberté Fitness will 

bring that spark back into your life, as you 

laugh your way through to the next level, 

continually working at your own pace while 

strengthening your body and mind. 

Welcoming all new trialists with open 

arms, the wonderful Liberté instructors 

ensure that you get exactly what you’re 

looking for from your fitness regime. With 

the sun poking it’s head out from behind 

the clouds this month, we can’t urge you 

enough to don your best joggers, tee and 

trainers and join in the fun!

FOOD & DRINK 

Wines 

the Loire Valley 

This area in France has produced wine since Roman times in 1 AD. 

By the 11th Century Sancerre had achieved a reputation across 

Europe as a high quality wine. Indeed by the Middle Ages it was 

valued higher than Bordeaux. 

BY ‘WINE BUFF’ FRED FISHER 

Not only is the region famous for its wines but 

the preponderance of beautiful Chateaux attracts 

many visitors. 

For a river over 1000 km long there a vast range of 

wine styles available. From its position at Nantes 

at the Atlantic it winds past Angers, Tours and 

Orleans before diving south and almost reaching 

the Mediterranean Sea. 

The Climate 

As a result of this the climate is varied. At its most 

easterly Sancerre has a cool continental climate 

while downstream at Anjou and Nantes the 

climate is affected by the Atlantic influence. 

Varied climates, soils, vine growing techniques 

and winemaking lead to a great variation in the 

resultant wines. One major problem they have to 

deal with are frosts which can destroy a vineyard 

crop and in 1991 almost the whole harvest that 

year was lost. 

The Region 

Historically it has been divided into 4 basic areas. 

Nantais, Anjou-Saumur, Touraine and the Central 

Vineyards which include Sancerre. 

Nantais 

The Muscadet grape here is the most common 

and shares its name with the name of the area. 

It produces 3 main wines. Muscadet plain and 

simple, Muscadet de Sevre et Main, the vineyards 

46

FOOD & DRINK 

APRIL 2016 | ISSUE #42 | 

FOOD & DRINK 

specifically near the two rivers of those names, 

and Muscadet de Sevre et Main sur Lie, where 

the wine is left in barrel for a time to pick up the 

yeastiness from the sediment. The capital of the 

area is Nantes. 

Anjou-Saumur 

A humid climate a bit further from the Atlantic, 

with limestone, chalk, tufa and schist sub-soils. 

Touraine 

At 200 Km from the Atlantic there is less 

influence from that source. The soil tufa, like in 

Anjou-Saumur is in many vineyards. 

The red wine area includes Chinon and Bourgueil 

which use the Cabernet Franc grape. To the east 

lie Vouvray using the Chenin Blanc grape for 

producing Dry 

The Chenin Blanc is the main white grape and 

produces dry, medium and sweet wines. 

The dessert wines from this region are very long 

lived, the best being Quarts de Chaume which 

can live for 50 years or more. 

Medium and Sweet wines as well as Sparkling. 

On the opposite bank of the river lies Montlouis 

which produce similar wines to Vouvray but 

cheaper. Dry whites are produced from the 

Sauvignon Blanc grape and would be entitled 

Sauvignon de Touraine. 

The Cabernet Franc grape produces 

red and rose wines, the best Rose 

being Cabernet D’Anjou. Rose 

D’Anjou is made from the lower 

quality Grolleau grape. 

The Gamay grape normally 

found in Beaujolais also grows 

here producing fresh and juicy 

wines. The area of Saumur has a 

high proportion of Sparkling wines 

from the Chenin Blanc grape which often 

are compared to Champagne in quality, indeed 

many Champagne houses have wineries there. 

Also a little Gamay grape wine is made and 

would be entitled Gamay de Touraine. 

Tufa is also found here. The capital of 

this area is Tours. 

Central Vineyards 

The most famous wine form here 

is Sancerre. With chalky, stony soils 

the most commonly known grape is 

also the Sauvignon Blanc, a dry wine 

with strong Herby, gooseberry flavours and 

smells and high acidity. Lesser known is the fact 

that a red and a rose wine is produced from the 

Pinot Noir grape mostly grown in Burgundy. 

Elsewhere in Saumur Dry whites from Chenin 

Blanc and the red Saumur-Champigny from the 

Cabernet Franc grape. The soil here is often Tufa 

which is a chalky limestone which is very porous 

allowing good root growth. The main city here is 

Angers. 

Other wines include the Pouilly Fume from the 

same grape and Reuilly and Quincy. Nearby is 

Menetou Salon with Kimmeridge Clay as the subsoil. 

This is the same soil as in Chablis which gives 

this wine another dimension. The main town here 

is Sancerre. 

Conclusions... 

An attractive area to visit, having a large selection of wine styles. The other attraction 

to this area is the predominance of Chateaux. Every main town or sub-region has one 

together with associated vineyards. The tombs of Henry 2nd , Eleanor of Aquitaine and the 

Black Prince are there as well as much history connected to this country.

A Great Healthy Bake-Off 

at Woolpit... 

On Saturday 21 May, Woolpit Complementary will be hosting a Good Health 

Spring Fair. A free event intended to bring the community of Woolpit and 

surrounding villages together to learn about good health, local up and 

coming artists, caterers and various organisations. 

using gluten and dairy free ingredients and where 

possible, additional credit to those who have devised 

clean eating recipes that avoid ingredients such as 

refined sugars or products that oppose ethical or moral 

principles. 

There are 4 categories, subdivided to include a clean 

eating category. A panel of guest judges will vote 

for best in category on 3 merits – taste, texture and 

presentation. 

It will be an opportunity for people to learn more about 

complementary healthcare treatments via reduced rate 

sessions as well as free consultation and assessment. 

For those of us that have 

encountered food allergies or 

intolerances, will appreciate the 

difficulties in adapting to new 

ingredients 

What’s more, for those that have undergone a 

total change in diet, to accommodate the ever 

growing Clean Eating principles – the notion 

of baking can often send an anxious shudder 

down ones spine. 

This competition is designed to highlight 

terrific recipes and fabulously skilled bakers, 

“The day will obviously be focused on how Woolpit 

Complementary intends to help the community but it 

is also a fantastic opportunity to give more to the local 

area and those that support natural, like-minded and 

artistic models in business or as an organisation.” Says 

Emma Harvey Lawrence, Partner and General Manager. 

“I have been practicing Acupuncture long enough to 

know that it’s about the patient as much as it is about 

the practice, so this will be a great opportunity to show 

just how much complementary healthcare has to offer 

and how the approach can differ, yet complement, 

conventional healthcare providers.” Adds Michaela 

Harvey Lawrence (nee Storer), Partner and Clinical 

Manager.

2 steps 

TO BRUNCH 

It could’t be 

any easier! 

BY RUBY REED 

Now by 2 steps, I mean 2 

ingredients. 

Welcome to simplicity and 

good taste! I do not claim to 

be a genius in the kitchen, 

but with these two easy 

ideas you don’t have to be 

to create a quirky brunch for 

the perfect lazy day. 

Give them a try! 

Banana & Egg Pancakes 

These perfect energy 

boosters are literally just 

banana and egg. 

That’s all you need! 

One egg and 2 bananas to be exact. They are 

a great healthy option as they are packed with 

protein and low in calories. 

If you’re interested they are also gluten and dairy 

free. Achieve them in minutes: 

• Crack 2 eggs & whisk in a jug 

• Peel & mash 1 banana 

• Add the whisked eggs to your banana paste & 

mix 

• Add oil to your pan, ready to fry your mixture 

These measures should make four mini pancakes, 

each taking around 6 minutes with that allimportant 

flip at 3 minutes. As a finishing touch 

52

FOOD & DRINK 


you may want to add a 

topping. Honey worked 

for me! But what about a 

strawberry? 

Bacon & Egg Cups 

Again, just 2 ingredients 

needed, this time- bacon 

and eggs. Your quantities 

will depend on how many 

you want to make. One 

egg and one streak/rasher 

of bacon make each cup. 

Preparation is even easier 

than last: 

• Use a muffin tray & 

mould a piece of bacon 

into each place, creating 

your cup 

• Crack your egg and pour 

into the cup 

• Place in a preheated oven at 350 

degrees F. 

These should start to look ready at 

around the 12 minute mark, but of 

course this depends on how crispy you 

like your bacon. 

Both recipes (if they are long enough to 

call that!) are fast, easy and yummy. A 

great and surprisingly filling way to kick 

off the day! 

Hope you like them... 

Feel free to sprinkle some seasoning on 

the egg centre i.e. black pepper.

BEST OF THE BEST AT 

THE 

BILDESTON 

CROWN 

After a busy week, finally Friday 

had arrived and we were excited 

about what was to come. 

We jumped in the car and ventured across the 

Suffolk countryside on a crisp spring evening, and 

I have to say what a great feeling it was. 

Passing through the old wool towns of Lavenham 

and Hadleigh we arrive at Bildeston. 

Our destination, The Bildeston Crown, a trendy 

yet traditional village local painted out in bold 

colours, stunning murals and lined with original 

timber frames. 

This original 15th century coaching inn has been 

imaginatively refurbished to say the least. 

Owners, Hayley and Chris ran the Crown for 

ten years, and decided to move on to a new 

challenge. 

After an offer they couldn’t refuse from the 

previous owner, they decided to call it home once 

more and returned to the Crown to restore it to 

its shining glory, and that they certainly have. 

56

FOOD FOOD & DRINK DRINK 

Throughout the building all the lovely timber 

frames, original beams, and an inglenook 

fireplace survives, however the interiors are 

decorated in dark bold colours, stripped 

floorboards, amazing sofas (which my partner 

fell in love with) and a mixture of contemporary 

and traditional art on the walls. Our kind 

of place! 

We were taken up to our room by one of the 

lovely team members, who made sure we had 

everything we needed to rest comfortably. 

She went out of her way to make us feel 

very welcome. 

Other rooms include a roll top bath, and one even 

has a four-poster bed. 

After a short rest I was starting to get a little 

peckish, however I have to admit I was a little 

on the slow side getting ready for dinner (I am 

a woman after all). I sent my partner Sam down 

to the bar for a pre-drink so he wouldn’t get too 

restless! 

Little did I know he would be hard to find, had he 

got lost in one of the many rooms? No he was in 

the courtyard enjoying a rum and ginger beer in the 

fresh air. 

The bedrooms are extremely interesting; 

an oversized bed grabbed my attention 

immediately, overlooking a beamed wall, 

complete with a fixed flat screen TV and 

seating area to relax in. 

After joining him we headed back to the bar and 

met Hayley, whilst sipping on a few cocktails and 

browsing the menu. 

What a menu we were presented with. 

57

APRIL 2016 APRIL | ISSUE 2016 #42 | ISSUE | FOOD #42 & DRINK 

We were then shown to the dining room, where 

we presented with four hand made freshly-baked 

rolls with butter. 

We devour them instantly and the best part is, I 

cannot wait for what is to come. 

The menu offers a ‘Classic’ menu or a ‘Select’ 

menu and you can choose between the two. 

In-between the bread and the starter, we were 

also served a pre-starter of Pumpkin soup, 

which was delicious! I like the little touches The 

Bildeston Crown offered and the personal service 

we received from Hayley herself. 

For my main course I could not resist the sound 

of the Red Poll cheese burger, with truffle mayo, 

salad & fries, which turned out to be one of the 

most delicious burgers I had eaten in ages! 

After having much trouble deciding I went for The 

Bildeston Crown “All day breakfast” for my starter 

whilst Sam had the Quail Kiev, burnt onion puree 

& roasted plums. The dishes are so interesting, 

which I think makes all the difference when you 

are trying to stand out. 

Sam on the other hand went all out with the 

Roasted loin of Suffolk Venison with morels, 

wild garlic & crones. I know this must have been 

amazing as usually he lets me have a bite. 

He did comment that it was incredibly tender

to again soon. 

Sam (the big chocolate lover,) went for the 

Chocolate Fondant with Chocolate ice cream, whilst 

I opted for something a little more refreshing with 

the Glazed lemon tart, marinated segments and 

lemon sorbet. It was just superb! 

There was no room for anything further so after 

finishing our wine by the fire we headed up to bed. 

After a wonderful sleep and a healthy breakfast it 

was time to wish The Bildeston Crown goodbye, 

however it wont be goodbye for long as it is 

definitely somewhere we want to venture back

Giant Scotch 

APRIL 2016 

Eggs 

| ISSUE #42 

With all the chocolate egg eating that has been going on recently I thought it 

might be a good idea to offer an alternative. So here we have some super giant 

scotch eggs! We have used goose eggs as we really wanted to make a meal of 

it! Taken from Oliver’s Kitchen - Seconds this is one of my favorites! 

Right, now this recipe I will be honest is 

not an exact science! We had not made 

scotch eggs before with big old goose eggs 

so we kind of guessed as we went! 

First we hard boiled the eggs which 

probably took about 12 minutes! it seemed 

forever! 

Whilst these 

were boiling 

I asked a big 

person to fry off 

the bacon until 

nice and crispy. 

Bacon goes so 

well with eggs! 

Then when the 

bacon is done we 

finely chopped it 

up. By this time 

the eggs were 

ready so we 

drained them 

and let them cool 

in cold water. 

After peeling the shells off the eggs 

it is time to prepare the sausage 

meaty part. For this we need to mix the 

sausage meat up with the thyme, parsley 

and chopped onion along with some good 

seasoning of salt and pepper. 

Divide the sausage meat mixture into 2 and 

make them into rough oval shapes. Then 

add a small heap of the chopped bacon. 

Add the flour to a bowl and season with salt 

and pepper. Then dip the eggs into it and 

pop them on top of the pile of bacon. 

Now we wrap the sausage meat around 

the egg making sure that the whole egg 

is covered and nice and smooth - It is like a 

meaty shell for the egg! 

Now that we have a pair of meaty eggs we 

need to brush them with beaten egg and 

roll them around in the breadcrumbs. Make 

sure you get them completely covered so 

keep rolling them around and around! 

Once they are all crumby it is time to 

get that big person who is on standby 

to pop them 

into a preheated 

oven 

(180°c) for 

about 35 

minutes until 

they are 

beautifully 

g o l d e n 

brown.

to be carried out against every adult who will be living at the 

property as their main residence, regardless of whether they are 

named on a tenancy/lodging agreement or not. For example, 

the immigration status of all adult children must be checked. 

These checks have to be carried out before they are allowed to 

move in. 

To ascertain a tenant’s immigration status, Landlords are obliged 

to see original documentation that proves their right to remain in 

the UK. Copies of these documents must be retained by the 

Landlord for a minimum of twelve months after the tenancy has 

come to an end or the occupier has left. The type of 

documentation that proves an individual’s right to remain in the 

UK includes a UK passport, EEA Identity card and a Residence 

card. A full list can be found at www.gov.uk. 

If a tenant asserts they are entitled to remain in the UK but for 

some reason the documentation is not available, an online check 

of a person’s status can be made via the Home Office website. 

In the event that a person only has a temporary right to remain 

in the UK, Landlords must diarise the expiry date and carry out 

further checks to ensure the tenant’s right to remain in the UK 

has not lapsed. If a tenant stays in occupation after their right to 

remain in the UK has lapsed, Landlords are legally obliged to 

report the individual to the Home Office. 

Heidi Berry specialist in 

all aspects of Landlord 

and Tenant law. 

As part of the clampdown against illegal immigration, 

private Landlords throughout England now have to 

conduct “right to rent” checks against their 

tenants. Landlords who fail to do so can be fined up to 

£3,000 per tenant and Landlords who persistently fail to 

conduct right to rent checks can be prosecuted under the 

criminal law. 

The changes were introduced courtesy of the Immigration Act 2014 and 

took effect from 1st February 2016. Under the legislation, only people 

with the right to stay in the UK are permitted to rent. 

Whilst it is not currently necessary to check existing occupiers, Landlords 

(or their agents if the responsibility has been passed to them) do need to 

check new tenants and lodgers over the age of 18 years. Checks have 

67 

Given that Landlords also need to comply with discrimination 

laws under the Equality Act 2010, it is advisable that all 

applicants are taken through the same tenant verification and 

selection process. 

Whilst it is too early to assess the impact of the legislation, it is 

clear that private Landlords are facing an increasing legislative 

burden and the uninformed amongst them could be taught a 

very expensive lesson.

LAUNCHING SOON 

NEW INFINITI CENTRE IN CAMBRIDGE 

JOHN BANKS 

GROUP 

Infinity arrives in 

Cambridge early April 

Infiniti has recently signed an 

agreement with the John Banks 

Group to open up a new Infiniti 

Centre in Cambridge, covering the 

county of Cambridgeshire and to 

help strengthen representation 

across East Anglia. 

Infiniti Centre Cambridge is expected to be 

operational from mid-April and is looking at 

having their fully operational facility open by the 

end of the year. 

Located in central Cambridge, just off the 

Newmarket Road (Swann’s Road), the centre will 

utilise one of the new short-term Infiniti designed 

showrooms until the full redevelopment work, to 

meet with the Infiniti Retail Environment Design 

Initiative (IREDI) standards, has been completed. 

Carl Bayliss, Regional Director for the UK 

commented, 

“I am very pleased to welcome Infiniti Centre 

Cambridge and the John Banks Group to our 

growing brand. With the recent introduction of 

the British manufactured Q30 & QX30, the brand 

is accelerating its growth in the UK. Infiniti Centre 

70


Planned development of the Infiniti showroom 

Cambridge joins us at a pivotal 

point in our network expansion 

plan, and we have an exciting 

future ahead of us.” 

Melanie Banks-Browne, Chief 

Executive of John Banks 

Group, said: 

“Our own expansion plans 

are currently taking place and to be able 

to have a premium brand such as Infiniti within 

our portfolio means we will be able to offer our 

customers an even more extensive range of 

products, from many different brands, to suit 

almost any requirement they may have.” 

The John Banks Group is currently expanding 

with new premises at Swann’s Road and a new 

servicing and repair centre soon to open in 

Mercers Row, Cambridge, completing five 

sites in the Cambridge territory. 

John Banks Group has an established 

presence in the region have been 

trading for over 42 years in 

the motor industry and by 

continuing to expand, 

demonstrates they are a 

growing strength in 

the market. 

Later in 2016 

the Infiniti 

QX30 Active Crossover will arrive, providing a 

higher stance than the Q30 with more of an SUV 

like appearance. This will be followed by the 

two door sports coupe Q60, which recently had 

its first European public exposure at this year’s 

Geneva motor show. 

Infiniti is currently experiencing record breaking 

sales growth not only in the UK but across the 

world. Last year in the UK sales increased by over 

60% year on year and are already showing an 

increase in 2016 of 67%.

Day Camps 

If you’ve ever been to camp, you’ll 

know that having a go at new 

adventure activities such as archery, 

quad biking, climbing and kayaking is 

not only super fun and exciting, but 

did you ever consider the other, longer 

lasting benefits that being at camp can 

offer a child. 

Here are our top benefits for children spending 

even just a day at camp: 

1. Developing emotional and social skills 

At camp, children learn to be away from familiar 

environments such as home or school, meeting 

new people and have the opportunity to make 

their own decisions in regards to the activities 

they want to participate in during the day. 

2. Unplug from technology 

It’s really difficult to navigate a climbing wall with 

an iPhone in hand, so at camp, there is usually 

a ‘leave it at home’ mantra. Being away from 

technology allows children to rediscover the great 

outdoors, be creative and get lots of fresh air! 

3. Trying new things 

Activity camps offer just that, lots of activities 

– from archery to climbing and bush craft to 

kayaking, these may be unknown but by trying 

something new, children can find hobbies and 

interests outside of the norm! 

4. Friendship building and resilience 

Being at camp means that children have the 

opportunity to make friends with others that 

they wouldn’t meet otherwise. Not only that, by 

participating in different activities throughout the 

day, these friendships are bonded through shared 

experiences. 

5. Mental stimulation & physical activity 

Many activities at camp have a problem solving 

or team-building element to them, so not only 

are the children physically active in an outside 

environment, they are also cognitively active! 

6. Independence & empowerment 

Children given the opportunity to do something 

on their own, gives them great empowerment. 

Daily passports used to record their camp 

experience are very often used for school show 

and tells, which gives each child great ownership 

of their experience. 

7. Confidence reinforced through 

success 

Achieving something new at camp makes 

children feel good, reinforced by awards for effort 

and achievement allow a child’s confidence to 

develop. 

8. Happy parents 

Children sleep well after a day at camp, what’s 

more, camps fit around a parent’s working day 

perfectly, with the ability to drop off early and 

pick up late with lunch included; spending the 

day at camp takes the stress off! 

Established for 30 years, Xplore run activity 

day camps for children aged six to 14 during 

the school holidays throughout Suffolk.

SHADES OF GREY 

SPONSORED BY CABELLO, HALESWORTH 

Grey seems to be the colour everyone 

is talking about at the moment 

alongside the launch of Fifty Shades 

of Grey. 

So here at Cabello, we thought we’d show you how to 

make the most of this understated tone. 

1. WEARABLE GREY HAIR 

The grey hair trend has been creeping further and further 

in to the limelight over the last few months. With 

celebrities such as Kylie Jenner and Rihanna sporting 

a luscious grey dip dye recently; it is a more versatile 

shade than you first think. This neutral colour could 

compliment any outfit, but if you’re not brave enough 

to rock the full silver hair shade, try mixing up the tone 

with pink and blue hues. 

Thought grey hair was just for your granny? Think 

again! Read on for our tips on how to rock grey hair 

and make-up. 

2. A COOL CONTOUR 

If you have a pale complexion and dream of the ‘Kim 

Kardashian contour’, you may find brown tones are 

78

HAIR & BEAUTY 


a little too harsh against your skin tone. 

Try to create those sculpted cheekbones 

with a grey or cool taupe shade instead. 

Using these cooler more neutral tones will 

sit more naturally against your skin and 

create that natural cheekbone shadow effect 

you desire. Balance it out with a pop 

of blush in a coral shade on the apples of 

your cheeks and a touch of highlighter 

across the top of your cheek bones. 

3. NAIL THE GREY TREND 

The simplest way to switch up your 

beauty style without going to extremes is 

by simply popping on a fresh coat of nail 

varnish! From the pale pleasures of Butter 

London’s Lady Muck nail varnish, to the 

deeper depths of Deborah Lippmann 

Stormy Weather; there’s a shade for any 

occasion. Not feeling glamorous enough? 

Add a glitter top coat to really make the 

colour pop! 

4. PLAY WITH TEXTURES 

Grey is a versatile colour, coming in many 

tones and hues, its way more than just 

the dull tone we initially associate with rainy days! If 

you’re going for a grey eye shadow for example, think 

about the texture. Do you want a matte finish as a base 

for a touch of bright colour, or will you go for one with 

a decedent silver glitter running through to add 

some sparkle to your day? Grey toned make up 

is a versatile option, and even acts as a great 

base of contrast against bright red lips too! 

So go ahead, play around with some 

shades of grey and release yourself from 

the constraints of your normal beauty 

routine!

Spring Bright’s!... At SK Clinic + Spa 

April is the perfect month to add a 

splash of colour and brighten up your 

skincare regime and beauty favourites! 

To help achieve a fresh and glowing complexion, 

the Pevonia Luminous C & Sea Facial is the one to 

try. Exclusively available at SK, it blends Vitamin 

C with the latest high-tech formulation of freezedried 

Seaweed and Squalane Oil, which is perfect 

for reducing fine lines, strengthening elasticity and 

providing relief for dull, sun-damaged skin. 

Using a refreshing lift-off mask skin is renewed, 

firmed and left extremely smooth. 

It’s easily done, but try not to forget those 

eyebrows. Keeping them neat and regularly tinted 

frames the face, lifts the eye area and for such a 

small change, it makes the biggest difference. 

At SK we have a lover affair with OPI, and the 

recently launched New Orleans Collection is a huge 

hit. 

producing the most gorgeous designs, it will most 

certainly brighten up your day. 

I recently got my hands on the bareMinerals 

READY® Color Boost - The Stolen Heart compact 

which is a limited edition in an elegant gold 

compact with mirror. It features 2 luminous peach 

colours, one dark one lighter, giving a beautiful 

glow across the cheeks, but has some serious skinnourishing 

benefits too. 

Flattering all skin tones and featuring nourishing 

kiwi and grape seed oils along with algae extract, 

make sure to get yours soon. Even in April, the 

sun’s rays are strong. Be smart and make sure you 

achieve a glowing bronzed body without exposing 

it to harmful UV Rays. SK’s answer to safe sun is the 

Fake Bake professional spray tan. 

With fast and even results, the UK’s leading salon 

professional self-tan not only gives a healthy 

realistic tan, but is also 

excellent at giving the appearance of a 

slimmer physique. 

With 12 new bold feminine colours, this vibrant 

collection features hot reds, raspberry crèmes, 

warm oranges, smooth greens and china Blue 

colours, which will add the finishing touch to a fresh 

new look. Plus, with our new nail technician 

Adding a full body 

exfoliation will not 

only smooth the skin, 

but will prolong 

the results.

The Nu age of 

Skin 

Care 

BY CARLA MIRELLE JONES 

Skin Care for me is my 

number one item I must 

have when it comes to 

beauty, one thing I will 

spend a bit more money 

on for the right product! 

So I could not look Past the Nu Skin’s 

revolutionary Age Loc Me Launched 

in March. 

84 

This is the way forward for skin care. 

It has been nicknamed the Apple of 

skin care, having already beaten Apple 

to the Techie’s award for Innovative 

Product. 

Also winning the Good Design award 

and beauty Shortlist award. This is the 

first and only device in the world like it 

at the moment.

HAIR & BEAUTY 


So I’ve told you how amazing it is; now to tell you 

why. 

For skin care normally you would go into a shop 

and decide which products would be most 

likely to suit your skin, with this you go onto the 

website or app and fill in a quick questionnaire 

about what your skin is like, what your needs 

are even down to if you want your cream to be 

perfumed or not. 

This sleek machine contains your serum, day 

cream and night cream. 

In the morning the machine will give you your 

serum and then day cream; 

in the evening it will give you your serum and 

night cream, in the right quantities, simple, easy 

and all in one sexy machine. 

For more information on the Age Loc Me or any 

other Nu Skin product and where to get them 

from and for the best prices, please feel free to 

contact me. 

For those who travel frequently like myself, it 

comes with three small pots that you can fill with 

the right amount of days worth of creams/serum.

“Venus Viva is the next 

generation in skin resurfacing 

and remodelling” 

This technology is proven to effectively tighten 

skin, improve texture, and correct pigmentation, 

rosacea, scarring and stretch marks. Sara Esler 

skincare specialist at Daydreams Bury St. 

Edmunds can confirm this as can many clients. 

The Viva delivers so much more than standard 

radio frequency. The Viva is really versatile and 

parameters can be adjusted to vary the degree 

of resurfacing and/or collagen production and 

tightening. Treatment plans are specific to each 

client and intensity of energy can be increased 

during a course of treatment. 3 -5 treatments 

being recommended. 

2016 sees Daydreams working increasingly with 

Venus Viva on stretch marks and scars alongside 

the facial treatments. Significant results on the 

‘mummy tummy’. As Roxanne mother of twins 

said “I didn’t believe there could be such a 

machine. I am going to buy a bikini!”

Spring 

Trends 

Spring is finally here and has 

brought plenty of exciting new 

interior styles with it, and what 

better way to celebrate the end of 

winter than to refresh and update 

our homes with some of this 

season’s top trends? 

Gorgeous grey 

Beautifully complemented by other 

neutral tones, or on-trend blue and silver, 

grey looks fantastic when used on walls 

or featured in home accessories, and is a 

striking colour choice for furniture. 

Retro revival 

Interiors will get a blast from the past 

in spring with attentions turning to 

retro style furniture and design. 

We particularly love the use of grey in 

bedrooms as it is a wonderfully calming 

colour, especially when paired with crisp 

white bedding and minimalist accessories. 

Cream is a great alternative to grey and 

will be another of the top colours this 

spring. We love to pair cream with oak for 

a fresh, classic contemporary look. 

We think that spring is the perfect 

time to start adding retro inspired 

style to your home; it is definitely 

the season for funky designs, bright 

colours and bold patterns.Plus, with 

contemporary pieces set to appear 

throughout 2016, you will be able add 

this style to your home with ease, 

regardless of your budget.

it comes to kitchen furniture and

By adding touches of these colours will

SUNSHINE AND SHOWERS 

BY KATE LINES 

Kates Top Tip : Take cuttings of your 

favourite conifers. 

Spring is finally in evidence as 

daffodils and flowering trees start 

to bloom. 

Expect the inevitable April showers this month 

but with sunny days too, when you can turn your 

attention to the lawn. 

It’s an exciting month, with indoor-sown seeds 

well into growth, and it’s also time to start sowing 

outdoors. Just watch out for frosts... 

Deadhead daffodils and narcissi; give them a liquid 

feed or a sprinkling of bonemeal and then let them 

die down. Don’t cut off the leaves as they are 

necessary to replenish the bulb for next year. 

Keep deadheading spring bedding to keep it looking 

neat, and to encourage new flowers. 

Now the soil is warming up and things are starting to 

grow, add general purpose fertiliser before covering 

with mulch especially in borders, the fruit and 

vegetable patch and containers. 

Carry on removing moss and weeds from paths, 

terraces and drives. 

Make new beds and borders - mark the shape with 

sand trickled from a bottle, remove the top layer 

of growing vegetation and dig the ground over, 

incorporating as much organic matter as possible. If 

you are making a bed in the lawn, remove the turf – if 

you dig it in the buried grass will regrow.

For those who frequent 

Facebook have you seen the 

‘we love Bury St Edmunds’ 

page? 

I love looking at all the 

old photos, pictures and 

drawings of different places 

round our beautiful town. 

It’s quite interesting to see how the town, despite 

having a shopping centre built, and different 

businesses that have come and gone, the ‘guts’ 

of the town hasn’t changed that much from 200 

years ago to 10 years ago. I think it’s great that 

people who live here genuinely love the town and 

its surrounding areas, because it is a great place 

and we are very lucky to live here.

Having grown up here myself, moved away, 

and then moved back again, you appreciate 

that although you have a few moans it’s a 

nice area all in all, and one that has quite 

clearly stood the test of time and therefore 

people want to live here.

It would seem that people feel the same 

about where they spend their hard earned 

money. THIS YEAR WE CELEBRATE 135 

YEARS OF BEING A BUSINESS IN BURY! We are as much of the history of this town as Copeland 

Interiors has been a family concern since 1881 passed down generation to generation. I have only owned 

the business for 10 years, before that my father had it for 31 years; the last Mr Copeland had it for 48 

years, his father 26 years, and so on. I really feel a responsibility to this business and to the history and 

memory of all the past incumbents. While it has got so much harder to survive as a small business, 

people still want to deal with you because not only are you good at what you do and give that extra 

personnel service they want to be part of the history too! 

I think that this is the reason too that many long term names survive, for example in our business the 

name of William Morris and his designs have 

survived centuries and are still as popular 

as they were then as are other names like 

Liberty, Colefax & Fowler to name but a 

few, and every year they bring out more 

amazing fabrics and wallpapers, sometimes 

completely new ideas and sometimes a 

revisit to the archives to rediscover old 

favourites. 

So we carry on loving what we do and caring 

what we do, creating, hopefully more history 

in our beloved town of Bury st Edmunds!

were warmly greeted by Debs upon our 

arrival at the Elveden Inn where we were 

treated to bacon rolls and hot beverages 

(all part of the package) always the perfect 

start to an action filled day.

never fired a shotgun before and by the 

end of the session everyone had hit a clay. 

With 30 clays each (again all covered 

in the cost of the package with the 

equipment and ammunition, no hidden 

charges here) we took it in turns with 10 

clays on each station, one coming towards 

you, one away from you and another 

across you. 

Each trap had a degree of difficulty but 

again the instructors were on hand to help 

with guidance of where to aim, shoot and 

any corrections if required. 

Great fun was had by all especially when 

filled with the immense satisfaction and 

pride of seeing a clay burst into a thousand 

pieces mid-flight on a successful shot.

Once we had the all-important safety 

briefing we were kitted up with ear

on gun handling so we knew how to point.

SPORT 

workmanlike performances, the grit, determination, 

never-say-die and always giving everything 

approach. 

A DISMAL DEFEAT MEANS THE 

PRESSURE IS OFF, SO PLEASE 

START ENTERTAINING THE FANS... 

Being someone who spends a 

bit too long on social media, 

Twitter is a pretty good 

barometer to determine the 

mood among the Super Blues. 

Just 24 hours after losing 

at home to relegationthreatened 

Rotherham, it is 

fair to say the storm clouds 

are circling IP1. 

But there comes a time when that’s not enough. 

If Ipswich aren’t going to push for automatic 

promotion, and the lack of investment suggests that 

is unlikely to happen in the near future, then let us 

at least be entertained. I am privileged enough not 

to have to pay for my ticket, and sitting in the press 

box is not something I take for granted. 

But I currently wouldn’t pay to watch Ipswich play 

regularly and I certainly wouldn’t feel the utmost 

desire to take my two young sons to watch them 

and lose around £100 for the ‘privilege’. 

So where do Ipswich go from here? 

Questions will always be asked 

about owner Marcus Evans but 

more and more, on social media at 

least, are now pointing fingers at 

Mick McCarthy. 

A few days previous, Daryl 

Murphy had celebrated 

his birthday with a brace 

against Blackburn. 

Hope may not have 

sprung completely but 

maybe, just maybe. In truth, that 

performance, and too many others before it, 

had been dismal. 

Murphy’s double had merely papered over the 

cracks. Ipswich have largely had a poor 2016 

and the Rotherham defeat had been coming. 

The problem isn’t just a shock defeat or the 

sight of public enemy Neil Warnock cooing 

over three points. 

It is quite simply the standard of the 

performance. One of my favourite Twitter 

quotes from a fan was, to paraphrase, ‘winning 

ugly is ok. But when you lose, it is just plain 

ugly’.And ugly is a pretty apt description at 

the minute. We can all sit here and praise the 

And these aren’t simply keyboard 

warriors. They are loyal fans who 

know enough about football, and 

spend enough money, to have an 

informed opinion. 

The natives are restless and they 

have every reason to be. Should McCarthy remain or 

are fans getting a bit tired of him, as the manager 

suggested in his frank post-match assessment of the 

Rotherham defeat? 

I’m not sure. Mick can win everyone back with a 

few results and a few brighter, more entertaining, 

performances. 

I wrote last month that Ipswich’s promotion fate 

would probably be sealed in March with a difficult 

run-in during April. That seems to have come true – 

but not in the positive way I had hoped. 

So now is surely the time to relax and entertain. Or 

risk even more fans turning.

INSPIRE ME 

Suzanne & 

Robert Cook 

sponsored by Abbeycroft Leisure 

Twelve months ago, Suzanne 

Cook was referred to the gym 

team with back problems. 

Having not used the gym before, and 

admittedly at a low level of fitness, Suzanne 

was apprehensive about making a start. For 

moral support, her husband Robert came 

along to her first few appointments and soon 

after joined himself. 

The couple stated coming to the gym 

together as routine and soon started to enjoy 

their workouts. Robert says; “When Suzanne 

got referred, I wanted to help her out and 

provide support. You have to put yourself out 

there and the whole team at the gym have 

been so supportive - you can really have a 

laugh with them”. And soon the couple where 

shifting the pounds as well as increasing 

fitness levels. 

Having lost almost six stone between them, 

Robert and Suzanne from Cloverfields, 

Thurston try to be pragmatic when it comes 

to eating sensibly. They allow themselves a 

treat bit always return to the gym to make 

sure they work off what they’ve indulged. 

Suzanne is now pain free in her back 

and has not looked back since starting 

her fitness journey. “I now run or walk to 

work on occasion which is five miles”. She 

explains, “Previously, I couldn’t even bike 

it”. Concentrating on her fitness has given 

Suzanne a hobby which she’s not had before, 

“it’s nice for me now to meet new people”, she 

confesses. 

Meanwhile, Robert is loving his 

gym workouts. 

By working 

together and 

working hard 

to change their 

fitness and 

eating habits, 

Suzanne and 

Robert have a 

new lease of life.

The 

Best Man... 

West End showcase 

for local writers... 

Two local songwriters 

recently had their songs 

performed in a fundraising 

showcase in London by a 

host of West End stars. 

Ian Cook and Ian Newton, 

both members of the 

Beccles based Waveney 

Light Opera Group, were the 

writers of a musical comedy 

entitled “The Reunion” which 

the group performed in 

2013. The show was a great 

success and went on to win 

a national award, the NODA 

President’s Cup. 

coming up in May. One of the songs from the show 

was chosen to be performed in “Snappy Title - 

Making History”, a show organised by the New 

Musicals Network. 

The show took place at the Pheasantry in the King’s 

Road and featured performers and musicians from 

the West End. 

The two Ian’s song was performed by Martin Neely 

and Alice Fearn both of whom have starred in 

major West End shows including Les Miserable and 

Phantom of the Opera. 

The two Ian’s have just completed work on a new 

musical comedy entitled The Best Man, which 

WLOG will be performing April 26th - 30th at 

Beccles Public Hall. Tickets are available from 

www.becclespublichall.org.uk or for more info go

THEATRE 

ROYAL 

BY NICKI DIXON 

April will be a busy month at the 

Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds with 

drama, comedy, music and murder! 

Kicking off the month is the theatre’s 

co-production with The Original Theatre 

Company, Invincible. (30 March to 2 April) 

It tells of London couple, Emily and Oliver, 

who downsize and move to a small town 

in the north of England and meet new 

neighbours, Dawn and Alan. 

Over the course of a disastrous evening of olives, 

anchovies, Karl Marx and abstract arts; class and 

culture collide. 

The brilliant full mask theatre company, Vamos 

return after their visit with Nursing Lives last year 

to present The Best Thing on 5 April. It’s 1966 and 

for 17-year-old Susan, life is an adventure waiting 

to begin. But what happens next turns everything 

upside down, and its repercussions will last for 

decades to come. 

Children will enjoy the ever-popular tale of Puss In 

Boots on 6 April. Would you trust a talking cat? 

You never know, he might turn you from a pauper 

to a prince just like the hero of this story which is 

brought to life on an incredible sloping stage by 

Patrick Lynch from CBeebies. 

There’s an international feel to the stage on 7 April 

with the Best of BE Festival. Three head spinning 

shows from across Europe are brought together to 

celebrate the Birmingham European Festival. 

On April 8 at 2pmeveryone’s favourite sisters, Ana 

and Elsa, star on screen in Sing-a-long-a Frozen. 

This will be a full screening of the smash hit Disney 

film complete with lyrics so the audience can sign 

along to such tunes as Let It Go and Love Is An Open 

Door. 

At 7.30pm on the same day there is Sing-a-long-a 

Dirty Dancing, again a full screening of the movie 

featuring songs such as She’s Like The Wind, Hungry 

Eyes and (I’ve Had) The Time of My Life. 

Further into the month (13 to 16 April) The theatre 

welcomes students from LAMDA who will perform A 

Midsummer Night’s Dream. This is the chance to see 

the theatre stars of the future as they take on one of 

Shakespeare’s best-loved plays. 

And who better to round off April than Agatha 

Christie’s Miss Marple in A Murder Is Announced. (19 

to 23 April). 

The residents of Chipping Cleghorn are astonished to 

read an advert in the local newspaper announcing a 

murder will take place at Little Paddocks, the home 

of Letitia Blacklock. Starring Judy Cornwell (Keeping 

Up Appearances) and Diane Fletcher (House of 

Cards).

BY JACK STEVENS 

MUSIC 

This month, we catch up with East 

Anglian worksmiths Cabrakid ahead 

of their headline slot at Norwich’s 

Waterfront. High Priest Cabrakan and 

Allergy Kid wax lyrical about their 

return… 

Hi, Cabrakid. You’re headlining the Waterfront 

Studio on 26th March in Norwich, after a 

well-received gig there late last year – for 

any newcomers, what can you expect from a 

Cabrakid live performance? 

“We like to bring the maximum amount of energy 

we can to any shows we play. I guess you could 

say there’s an element of unpredictability as well 

as mid set we will change things up, play new 

songs or mess with old ones. Collaboration is 

another massive part of our live show any time 

we can get more people on stage and see what 

happens we will jump at. I’d say we mainly just go 

into every show thinking, let’s have a laugh and 

rip the place apart.” 

There’s a real underlying feel for Madvillain and 

Dalek rooted in your sound – what are your main 

musical influences when it comes to Cabrakid, 

and are those fair comparisons? 

“Our main influences are people like J Dilla, King 

Krule, Loyle Carner and Jessie James Solomun. 

It’s a real mixed bag of conventional hip hop 

and newer more electronic sounds. Madvillain 

and Dalek are good comparisons too. There’s 

certainly a lot of focus on authenticity and raw 

subjects coupled with tight and beautifully 

constructed instrumentals from Gabriel.” 

Where do you feel Spoken Word and Hip Hop 

is at nowadays in the East of England – should 

there be a call for it to have a wider reach and 

higher place to find its audience? 

“Spoken word in the east is still relatively 

unknown. The first time I heard Luke Peter 

Foster’s work I went absolutely mad as he’s a 

fellow East Anglian looking towards the spoken 

word flow over beats. He’ll be playing with us on 

the 26th and I really hope people see what we’re 

doing and get involved. The hip hop scene in 

general round here is mad though so many artists 

that people need to get involved with.” 

And lastly, what topics and issues do you feel 

mostly translate into your lyrics – what would be 

the overall message from Cabrakid? 

“What I choose to write about falls mainly into 

two, rather large categories, the first is love. 

Losing it and having it and everything in-between. 

The second is politics. I like to think as a group we 

are socially aware and want to spread a message 

of love and happiness to people that listen to us. 

So I guess our overall message would be along 

the lines of, be nice to one another and question 

things that you see our wrong.” 

See you next month - Jack

Crufts 

CATCH UP... 

Last month we interviewed Susan 

Crowley about her prize winning 

Chihuahuas. I caught up with Susan for 

a quick Q&A about how it went, after 

two of her nine Chihuahuas, qualified 

for this years Crufts. 

Along with her husband Shaun, Susan and her 

team headed up to the NEC for this years show. 

the A14 was closed as the river had burst its 

banks. 

This led to a 70 mile detour meaning we were 

delayed and arrived late. 

I ran in as Laurents Junior dog class had started! 

He was straight on the table, but very shell 

shocked, poor chap, but did his bit, though sadly 

he was not placed 

Q: On the build up to Crufts what how much did 

you have to prepare? 

Dolly and Laurent went to ringcraft to train up for 

Crufts, we also train in town to get used to noise 

and bustle. They were bathed, nails cut and filed. 

Q: What happened next? 

Dolly had a few hours to get her mood together. 

The ring was enormous, which is just what she 

likes, as she walks at a fast pace! 

Q: How did you feel when you turned up at 

Crufts? 

We set off from Beccles at 5am, but unfortunately 

The final line up was pulled out and we were in 

it. I had to walk again for our lady judge, who 

placed her 5 and awarded her VHC, very highly 

commended.

APRIL APRIL 2016 2016 | ISSUE | ISSUE #42 #42 | PETS 

Q: Did you feel nervous putting your dogs in the spotlight 

after all of this hard work? 

I was very nervous but Dolly seemed calm as she loves to 

show! 

For more information visit 

East Coast Chihuahua KC 

Reg on Facebook. 

Q: What categories did you enter? 

The class was ‘Post Graduate Bitch’ and there were 13 entries. 

Q: How did it feel to receive a prize? 

We were over the moon to be placed in such a strong class of 

top dogs. 

Q: What will you be aiming for next? 

I hope next year I can again qualify a dog and get placed, it’s 

a great thing just to get there.

Archie’s 

Adventures 

WILD AT HEART... 

It’s been a pretty adventurous month 

for me... 

Firstly, I set off on my doggy travels with my 

mum, for a stay at The Westleton Crown. 

They let little four legged friends like us stay too. 

The room was wicked, a studio with two floors 

and full of treats for me. I even got my own 

blanket for snoozing time.
