Check out my very 

own 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 43, a mother and a grandmother. 

Oh hello April and hello 

you! April is a good 

month for me as it’s my 

Birthday! 

I shall be 44 no less! 

Dressing for women over 

forty has never been 

better. There is so much 

out there no matter what 

your style is. 

This month my favourite 

new find is JOANIE 

Clothing. I’m totally in 

love with their slogan 

tops. 

If like me you can’t stretch to $280 

for a Bella Fraud slogan jumper then 

take a look. 

I’ve also had a good shop 

around for some key pieces 

that are really on trend for 

this spring. Gingham isn’t 

going anywhere soon, and 

pastels are still so very 

Spring. But my top item 

this month is DUNGREES! 

Yes that’s right. They’re not 

just for pregnant ladies 

or painters! Take some 

inspiration 

from these 

examples and 

of course I can 

often be found 

rocking a pair 

of denims!

APRIL 2017 APRIL | 2017 ISSUE | ISSUE #54 | #54 FASHION 

Being over forty, can make you 

become more aware of your 

skin and more inclined to try out 

different skin care ranges. 

Fear not ladies (and gents,) I have 

found the holy grail of skin care! 

The Body Shop has a new range 

called “drops of youth,” I’m a 

seasoned professional when it comes to 

trying out new products and this blew 

me away. 

The ladies are so helpful and friend in 

the Bury St Edmunds store, take a look 

and purchase the skincare system. You 

can thank me later! 

Finally I’ve always been fond of a 

good Mac and there are some lovely 

variations of the classic. 

My top finds are Marks and Spencer, 

Tesco F and F range and Zara. 

I will have more outfit inspiration over 

on my blog as well as more skincare 

advice. 

I’d like to end by dedicating this months 

column to my amazing grandmother 

Elsie Lillian Fell, she was one of the 

most glamorous women I’ve ever know.

Stationery & Favour Ideas 

BY CATHERINE STARLING-GUNFIELD 

As a wedding stationer 

with nearly 10 years’ 

experience I have seen 

most ideas and creative 

touches. In my opinion 

wedding stationery falls 

into two categories, the 

‘Must Haves’ and the 

‘Splurges’. 

The ‘Must Haves’ are 

invitations, table plan, place 

settings, table numbers and 

order of service (religious 

ceremony) and some form of 

guest book. 

The ‘splurges’ are items not needed necessarily but can add 

that personal touch and include, Save the dates, information 

packs, RSVP cards, menu cards, post box, order of ceremony 

and favours. 

Save the dates are great for those having midweek or high 

season weddings, this allows guests to plan holidays or time off 

work, usually sent 9-12 months before the big day. 

Invitation info packs and RSVP’s are a great way to provide your 

guests with all the information they need, directions, hotels, 

taxi’s etc, and they can eliminate too many calls and questions 

from guests. 

Menu cards are a nice touch providing guests with details of the 

food they are enjoying and accompanying wine. 

Post Boxes are a great place for guests to pop cards, money 

and vouchers upon arrival and safely. 

Order of ceremony, usually consists of a list of the bridal party, 

music, readings and order of the day with rough timings, a 

lovely keepsake. 

16

WEDDING 

APRIL 2017 APRIL | 2017 ISSUE | ISSUE #54 | #54 WEDDING 

Favours are small gifts given to 

guests and I have seen many 

ideas over the years, below are 

some I have come across; Sugared 

almonds representing Fertility, 

Longevity, Wealth, Health and 

Happiness. 

Food is a great choice: Pop cakes, 

gingerbread, biscuits, cupcakes, 

macaroons, wrapped in cellophane 

or clear boxes perhaps double 

them as place settings with cute 

tags. 

Give to your favourite charity, 

making a donation and giving pin 

badges. 

Lottery tickets and scratch cards; 

I’ve been commissioned to make 

quite a few cute wallets in the 

past, they could also house drinks 

tokens and casino tokens. 

Perhaps lay on a treat so everyone 

can help themselves; candy buffet, 

photo booth, flip flops for the 

ladies, chocolate fountain, DJ/ 

dance floor props and glow sticks. 

Have fun choosing your stationery 

and favours, they will provide 

some lovely keepsakes from your 

big day. 

Happy Planning...

The Milsom 

Wedding Show... 

Last month I popped 

along to The Milsom 

Wedding Show to 

get some ideas for 

my own big day... 

I haven’t been to many 

wedding shows (this was my 

second), so I was eager to find 

out what was in store... I wasn’t 

disappointed. 

Upon arrival my partner Sam 

and I were greeted by the 

Milsoms team with a goody 

bag full of information to help 

us on our wedding quest. 

After a browse around the 

exhibitor’s circuit, (with a 

complimentary glass of fizz), 

we enjoyed talking to suppliers 

about honeymoons, wedding 

dresses, cakes and even 

photo booths, (check out our 

souvenir from the day)! 

The venue itself was at The 

Hanger, at Milsoms Kesgrave 

Hall, but also on offer from 

Milsoms is the stunning venue 

at Le Talbooth, in Dedham, where you can even arrive 

at your wedding venue up the river on 

a boat. 

To keep my partner happy, as they 

always say the way to a man’s heart 

is through his stomach, there were 

canapés circulating the floor, plus there 

was even a ‘men’s den’ full of casino 

tables, cocktail samples and grooms 

attire, which was a lovely to touch. 

I lost Sam there whilst I enjoyed a 

complimentary manicure from The 

Treatment Rooms at Maison Talbooth 

and found out all about Milsoms Hen Packages at 

Maison Talbooth! Yes girls, that’s what I’m talking 

about!

BRIDE TO BE 

Hair and Make-Up Advice 

PART2 

Following last month’s column, Kirsty Woolnough, wedding hair 

stylist and beauty expert, shares here expert advice on what to do to 

prepare on the build up and during your wedding day. 

The Day Before... 

On the day before your wedding, 

when washing your hair, make 

sure you thoroughly shampoo 

and use the tiniest amount of 

conditioner on your ends. My 

worst challenge is slippery hair 

that won’t hold! 

When drying your hair (or letting it dry naturally), make 

sure it’s not combed or brushed into a specific parting! Hair 

sets in place from wet to dry so it’s very hard as a stylist to 

manipulate hair in a different direction once set. Brushing 

your hair back and not applying a parting is usually a safe 

option, unless asked otherwise. 

With all this preparation in mind you should be set to 

achieve the look you have dreamed of! 

20

WEDDING 

APRIL APRIL 2017 2017 | ISSUE | ISSUE #54 #54 | WEDDING 

On The Big Day... 

Firstly, it’s important the atmosphere is as 

calm and happy as possible! 

Get some music on as its sets the mood! 

Obviously you will want your loved ones 

around, but from experience, it’s best to keep 

guests to a minimum and wow at that grand 

reveal! 

If you have too many people in a bridal suite 

at the venue it can feel manic, stressful - 

especially when you have all the professionals 

in one room too, including a photographer, a 

videographer, stylist and make-up artist! 

I usually organize an itinerary with the bride 

as to who has what done, when, so everyone 

in the bridal party knows where they will fit in. 

Hiring a professional isn’t for everyone, but 

when you choose to include this service into 

your day, your stylist can build not only a 

professional relationship, but a personal one 

too, this is why it’s so important to feel a 

rapport with them. 

joy, but what ever the situation 

I’m always there to share the load and provide 

the Kleenex tissue! 

May these tips be helpful to making the 

preparation and running of your special day 

run smoothly. Good luck! 

They will share with you your most dearest 

memories and intimate moments from 

exchanging and receiving gifts and card 

between bride and groom, the first sighting 

of your bouquet, and not to mention that 

moment your father/mother or special person 

that may give you away sees you for the first 

time! 

There will be tears of laughter, feelings of 

sadness for lost loved ones and happiness and

THE JACKSONS... 

The Jockey Club Live are excited to announce the next act to join the 

Newmarket Nights season – Mowtown legends THE JACKSONS. 

The Jacksons, originally formed as The 

Jackson 5, will be visiting Newmarket as they 

celebrate an incredible 50 hit-making years. 

Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael, 

five brothers from Gary, Indiana, known 

originally as the Jackson 5 and later The 

Jacksons, rose to fame for their combination 

of extraordinary musical talent and 

spectacular choreography. 

In 1976, the group, except for Jermaine, left 

Motown for Epic Records where, they 

added their brother Randy and changed their 

name to The Jacksons. They released 

five albums between 1976 and 1981, including 

the hit albums, Destiny (1978) and Triumph 

(1980) from which they produced the smash 

singles, “Enjoy Yourself”, “Shake Your Body 

(Down to the Ground)” and “Can You 

Feel It.” 

They soon earned the 

status of pop royalty in the 

music world, providing the 

launching pad for what 

would become Michael 

Jackson’s legendary 

solo career. 

Known for hits including ‘ABC’, 

‘The Love You Save’, ‘I Want You Back’ and 

‘I’ll Be There’, the group sold more than 200 

million records during their time with the 

legendary Motown label. 

Building a reputation for their combination 

of music and brilliant choreography, they 

went on to score 17 Top 40 singles on the Hot 

100 – together with 22 UK Top 40 singles – 

including Never Can Say Goodbye, Show You 

The Way To Go and Dancing Machine. 

In 1983, the band, along 

with Jermaine performed 

on Motown 25: Yesterday, 

Today, Forever and 

subsequently released the 

Victory album the following 

year. When the brothers 

united for The Victory Tour in 

1984, it became the highestgrossing 

concert series ever staged in the 

United States. 

Tito Jackson said: 

‘We had the privilege of performing for Her 

Majesty The Queen when we first came to the 

UK in 1972 and we’re always excited to return. 

The British audiences love their music and we 

can’t wait to share ours with them when we 

bring our show to Newmarket Racecourse this 

summer!’

FEATURE 


Amy Starkey, Regional Director East of Jockey Club 

Racecourses, said: 

‘We can’t wait to welcome The Jacksons to Newmarket 

Nights for the first time this summer. With The Jacksons’ 

celebrating their 50th anniversary year, we’re delighted to 

be sharing their celebrations with them and am sure they’ll 

be performing a set to remember, packed full of some of 

their biggest hits.’ 

The Jockey Club Live are leading promoters on the UK 

live scene, delivering spectacular line-ups of some of the 

hottest chart talent and legendary household names to 

some of the world’s most famous racecourses. The events 

are renowned for combining a fun filled evening at the 

races with a spectacular evening concert in the informal 

and relaxed open-air setting of the hallowed turf. 

The group can be said to find many of its music 

inspirations in groups like The Temptations, The Supremes, 

James Brown and Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers and, in 

turn, came to eventually serve as the inspiration for several 

generations of boy bands, including Backstreet Boys, New 

Edition, N*SYNC, New Kids on the Block, and of more 

recent vintage, the Jonas Brothers, One Direction, and 

many more. 

In 1980, The Jacksons were honoured with a star on the 

Hollywood Walk of Fame. They were inducted into The 

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997 and the Vocal Group 

Hall of Fame in 1999 as The Jackson 5. Listed among The 

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s “500 Songs that Shaped Rock 

and Roll” are two of the group’s songs “I Want You Back” 

and “ABC”. At the annual BMI Urban Awards on September 

8, 2008, The Jacksons were honoured as BMI Icons. In 

2016, “ABC” joined “I Want You Back” as the group’s 

second recording to be inducted into the Recording 

Academy’s Grammy Hall of Fame. 

Having welcomed over 200,000 fans of live music to their 

events in 2016, this year is set to continue the incredible 

success. The Jockey Club venues welcome over 2million 

people a year for some of the UKs biggest racing events so 

you can be sure a fantastic evening.

DECORATE YOUR HOME 

Our interiors are made up of layers, 

and paint is perhaps the easiest of 

them all to change, with relative 

ease and little cost. 

Colour on our walls along with new textiles 

come together to give a room an entirely new 

look without necessarily needing to replace 

furniture. At Neptune, one of our favourite 

times to redecorate our homes is at the turn 

of a new season. Be it one room, two, or 

even just your front door, you can completely 

rethink a space in as little time as one weekend 

afternoon, ready to welcome in and savour the 

season. 

In SS17, the colour on everybody’s lips is green. 

As part of our new collection, we’ve blended 

a new shade of green – Sage – that sits 

beautifully with our softer white, Snow, or with 

our deeper green, Cactus. It works wonders 

on walls or, why not sand back any existing 

Neptune timber furniture and paint it anew?

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.

COPELAND INTERIORS 

BY CLARE HINDLE 

Spring means re-birth a great time 

to do a spring clean leaving your 

home, elegant and beautiful. Now is 

time to check your soft furnishings! 

The first step to welcome in spring is to get the 

paintbrushes out. Choose pale hues like pale 

pinks, pastel greens and yellows mixed with 

creams, whites and pale greys. 

Feature walls are still a big interior must; choose 

designs with a botanical or floral theme with 

slightly stronger colours to compliment those soft 

wall colours. 

Don’t forget to make a feature of your windows. 

We recommend the use of some of the stunning 

fabrics that have been launched this year so 

far from design houses like Osborne & Little , 

Sanderson, Designers Guild etc.

APRIL APRIL 2017 2017 | ISSUE | ISSUE #54 #54 | EASTER 

Where did it come from? 

All about Easter 

Chocolate, coloured eggs, cute little 

bunnies. These fun activities are 

just some of the things that usually 

come to mind when we think of 

Easter, but there’s more! These 

things aren’t really the reason we 

celebrate Easter every year. 

Why do we celebrate Easter? 

Christians celebrate Easter for entirely 

different reasons than most people do. The 

New Testament states that the resurrection of 

Jesus, which Easter celebrates, is a foundation 

of the Christian faith. The resurrection 

established Jesus as the powerful Son of God 

and is cited as proof that God will judge the 

world in righteousness. 

Why do they call it Easter? 

The exact origins of this religious feast day’s 

name are unknown. Some sources claim the 

word Easter is derived from Eostre, a Teutonic 

goddess of spring and fertility. 

Why is it important for Christians to 

celebrate Easter? 

Easter Sunday is the culmination of Holy 

Week. It commemorates the resurrection 

of Jesus. It is the most important Christian 

festival, and the one celebrated with joy. 

Why do we get Easter eggs? 

The custom of giving eggs at Easter 

celebrates new life. Christians remember that 

Jesus, after dying on the cross, rose from the 

dead. This miracle showed that life could win 

over death. For Christians the egg is a symbol 

of Jesus’ resurrection, as when they are 

cracked open they stand for the empty tomb. 

What does the rabbit have to do with 

Easter? 

The story of the Easter Bunny is thought to 

have become common in the 19th century. 

Rabbits usually give birth to a big litter of 

babies (called kittens), so they became a 

symbol of new life. Legend has it that the 

Easter bunny lays, decorates and hides eggs 

as they are also a symbol of new life. 

What happened on the days of Easter? 

Easter Sunday, also known as Resurrection 

Sunday, is a Christian festival, celebrating the 

resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 

which happened on the third day after his 

crucifixion by the Romans. The week previous 

to this is known as the Holy Week, and it 

contains Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and 

Holy Saturday. 

So when you find yourself indulging in Easter 

Eggs, surrounded by Easter Bunnies, now 

you know where it all came from.

& WELLBEING 

TOP TIPS 

for Men’s Health... 

1. Start a heart-healthy diet and exercise 

plan... 

If you don’t do this already, start a hearthealthy 

diet and exercise plan. Skip the fried 

and fatty foods and aim for at least half an 

hour of exercise every day . Eating well and 

keeping active are the health gifts that keep 

on giving. If you get into these habits now, the 

benefits will last a lifetime. 

2. Work on your relationship - with your 

doctor, that is... 

Get to know your doctor and let your doctor 

get to know you. Things to ask now are: What 

can you do to keep your body and heart 

strong? How can you best prevent STIs 

(sexually transmitted infections)? 

3. Know your family health history... 

Does heart disease run in your family? 

What about diabetes? These are important 

questions to ask your parents and 

grandparents while you still can. Why 

not construct a family medicalhistory 

tree? 

4. Don’t forget key screening tests... 

Make sure you carry out monthly selfexaminations 

for testicular cancer, which is 

the most common form of cancer in young 

men. Also, talk to your doctor about screening 

for high blood pressure, high cholesterol 

and diabetes. It’s never too early to start 

protecting your heart and circulation. 

5. De-stress your life... 

Mid-life is often a very stressful time for 

many men, with career, financial and family 

pressures. And stress is a known risk factor for 

cardiovascular disease, which hits men at a 

younger age than women. 

6. Check your head... 

Mental health is really, really important. Think 

about several things: Are you drinking too 

much? Are you paying attention to signs of 

depression or bipolar disorder, which often 

get missed? If you have a family history of 

mental illness, suicide, and/or substance 

abuse, you really need someone to help you 

review the signs and symptoms

LOTUS 

POSE 

(pod-MAHS 

-anna) 

Benefits 

Strengthens the spine 

Stretches chest and lungs, shoulders, and 

abdomen 

Calms the brain 

Stimulates the pelvis, spine, abdomen, and 

bladder 

Stretches the ankles and knees 

Eases menstrual discomfort and sciatica 

Consistent practice of this pose until late into 

pregnancy is said to help ease childbirth. 

Cautions: 

Ankle injury, Knee injury. 

How to try the pose: 

1. Sit on the floor with your legs straight in 

front. Bend your right knee and bring the 

lower leg up into a cradle: The outer edge of 

the foot is notched into the crook of the left 

elbow, the knee is wedged into the crook of 

the right elbow, and the hands are clasped 

(if possible) outside the shin. Lift the front 

torso toward the inner right leg so the spine 

lengthens (and the lower back does not 

round). Rock your leg back and forth a few 

times, exploring the full range of movement of 

the hip joint. 

2. Bend the left knee and turn the leg out. 

Rock your right leg far out to the right, then 

lock the knee tight by pressing the back 

of the thigh to the calf. Next swing the leg 

across in front of your torso, swiveling from 

the hip and not the knee, and nestle the 

outside edge of the foot into the inner left 

groin. Be sure to bring the right knee as close 

to the left as possible, and press the right heel 

into the left lower belly. Ideally the sole of the 

foot is perpendicular to the floor, not parallel. 

3. Now lean back slightly, pick the right leg up 

off the floor, and lift the left leg in front of the 

right. To do this hold the underside of the left 

shin in your hands. Carefully slide the left leg 

over the right, snuggling the edge of the left 

foot deep into the right groin. Again swivel 

into position from the hip joint, pressing the 

heel against the lower belly, and arrange the 

sole perpendicular to the floor. Draw the 

knees as close together as possible. Use the 

edges of the feet to press the groins toward 

the floor and lift through the top of the 

sternum. If you wish, you can place the hands 

palms up in jnana mudra, with the thumbs and 

first fingers touching. 

Beginner’s Tip: 

During the cradle warm-up the outer ankle is 

often overstretched. 

With thanks to www.yogajournal.com/poses. 

Please take care in all poses, if unsure please 

attend a class or ask for a private lesson.

APRIL 2017 | ISSUE #54 | HISTORY 


JEM 

MACE 

Jem Mace was the first 

Heavyweight Champion of the 

World, and arguably the greatest 

of all Britain’s boxing champions. 

Born 8 April 1831 in the village of Beeston, near 

Swaffham, he spent the first 26 years of his life in 

Norfolk where he worked as a horse dealer and 

from time to time put on the gloves in boxing 

contests against all-comers. In 1857 Mace and his 

wife Mary Ann became the Landlords of the Swan 

Inn, Swan Lane, Norwich. 

His first fights took place whilst living in Norwich 

when he beat John [Slasher] Slack on 2 October 

1855 and Bill Thorpe on 17 February 1857, but his 

local popularity waned as a result of two fights 

which he forfeited against Mike Madden and a 

loss to Bob Brettle from Birmingham. 

Jem put the record straight against Bob Brettle 

who he beat for £200 aside in just 20 minutes 

in 11 rounds on September 1860. He then won 

the championship of England on 13 June 1861 by 

beating reigning champion Sam Hurst for £200 a 

side in 8 rounds 40 minutes. On 28 January 1862 

he beat Tom King, but lost to him later in the year. 

King took a terrible punishment in the match, 

announced his retirement and Mace automatically 

regained the English championship. 

Jem later worked with the Marquis of Queensbury 

and helped to introduce new boxing rules 

with their requirement of gloved contests. 

On 15 September 1869 Mace arrived in New York 

intending to give exhibitions, but was enticed 

by the American fraternity and, on 10 May 1870, 

he beat Tom Allen, the champion of America for 

$5000 [$2500 a side] for the championship of 

the World. In Kenner, Louisiana a suburb of New 

Orleans on the site where the championship fight 

took place, there now stands a life-size bronze of 

Jem Mace and Tom Allen. 

In 1877 Jem arrived in Australia and after giving 

exhibitions in New South Wales, he moved to 

Melbourne where he managed the VCR Hotel in 

Flemington and established a successful boxing 

academy. 

Mace spent the remaining years of his life giving 

exhibitions in Britain and America. In 1890, aged 

60 he boxed with Charlie Mitchell in Glasgow and 

after four 2 minute rounds Mitchell won at which 

time the contest was interrupted by the police. 

He returned to Norwich in March 1888 appearing 

at the Theatre Royal in a series of exhibitions. 

He died on 30 November 1910 and a huge crowd 

attended his burial in Liverpool and he was 

interred alongside the MacMillan plot in a pauper’s 

grave unmarked save for the number 594.

THE 

GREAT 

HOUSE 

BY RACHEL DUCKER 

Picturesque Lavenham is best known for 

its pretty, half-timbered mediaeval 

Cottages and a 15th century church. 

Sitting proudly in the Market Square you 

will find ‘The Great House’. 

62

FOOD & DRINK 


Martine Crepy. Primarily a restaurant, it’s five 

boutique bedrooms, of differing sizes, are 

comfortably fitted with stylish contemporary 

furnishings, juxtaposing original beams and 

inglenook fireplaces. 

We stayed in a luxurious suite with a four 

poster bed, overlooking the village square and 

its charmingly crooked buildings. 

There’s a complimentary decanter of Sherry 

and a Nespresso machine tucked out of the 

way in the wardrobe, and a shower room in 

the corner. Everything you need for a restful 

break away. 

After a short rest and a quick change for 

dinner, we made our way down to the 

restaurant. The dining room is separated in 

two so it feels private but not empty. 

It’s been called ‘one of the best 

restaurants in England’ by The Sunday 

Times; has won the 2016 AA Inspectors 

Choice Gold awards; is a Sawday’s 

British 2015 Food award winner 

and one of only two 3 AA rosette 

restaurants in Suffolk. Little wonder 

– the team recently celebrated 30 

years of ownership by head chef-cumcookery-writer 

Regis Crepy – with three 

decades to refine its offering. 

As we ventured into the main 

dining area white, crisp tablecloths 

hung over evenly spaced tables, 

which were completed with 

gleaming wine glasses, simply 

beckoning us to try some of the 

French wine on offer, all with the 

added touch of candlelight, creating 

a warm and romantic ambience. 

Shortly after taking our seats to our surprise, 

a selection of amuse-bouche’s arrived along 

with a freshly cooked bread, (with the most 

scrumptious butter). 

Last month, Bounce Magazine were delighted 

to be invited along for dinner, bed and 

breakfast, here is what we thought. 

‘The building dates back to the 14 th and 15 th 

centuries, built by a wealthy family. Since 

1985 it has been owned by Regis and 

The serving staff were friendly well-trained, 

attentive and efficient, in fact we left it 

down to them to select a wine which would 

accompany our dishes. 

The menu is mostly classical in style, and our 

well-paced meal began. To start, I opted for 

63

JUNE 2014 | ISSUE #20 


the ‘Isle of Man half shell Queen Scallops - 

Baked Baby Scallops, Buffalo Mozzarella 

Cheese, Fennel and Leek Concassé with a 

Hazelnut Butter Sauce’. It was incredibly 

flavoursome with a hint of fennel running 

through the dish balanced by creamy 

mozzarella and rich butter sauce. One of my 

favourite starters to date, I have to confess! 

My partner chose the ‘Home Smoked Trout 

Fillet, Red Beetroot, Dill Caviar, Pickled 

Radishes, Glazed Baby Beetroot and Ginger 

Emulsion’. It was served like a piece of artwork 

you didn’t want to see destroyed. The trout 

was a great consistency whilst the other 

flavours balanced the dish to complete It. 

Following the starter, I selected the ‘Flat iron 

“Red Pool” Beef with “Le Puy” Letils Cream, 

Parsely Espuma and a Black peppercorn 

Sauce’. The beef simply melted in my mouth 

and was simply delicious, just thinking about 

it now makes my mouth water all over again! 

My partner selected the ‘Shimpling Park Farm 

Lamb Cutlet with Rocket Salad Gel, Garlic 

Cream and Lamb Jus Reduction’. I am not 

a huge Lamb fan, but he commented it was 

packed full of flavour, tender to eat. 

It would have been rude to dine in 

a French Restaurant without trying 

the cheese selection! 

We selected the milder range of cheeses, 

straight from the cheese trolley, which came 

complete with grapes, crackers and bread. 

Paired with an amazing, full-bodied French 

64

FOOD & DRINK 


red wine, I can see now why people love a 

cheese course! 

Then, finally onto dessert. I selected 

something a little different to what I 

normally would and selected the ‘Pinapple 

and Chocolate, with Vanilla Gluten Free 

Sponge Cake and Tonka Bean and Vanilla 

Sorbet’. It really didn’t last long! The best 

part, of this dish was the fruity Pineapple, 

which cleansed the palette and gave my 

mouth a sweet hit at the same time. 

Overall, we loved our stay at The Great House, 

Regis team were very welcoming and we 

certainly can’t wait to visit again in the near 

future’.

My chocoholic partner could only have 

selected the ‘Chocolate Marquise; Dark

Chocolate Praline Gateau and Speculoos Ice 

Cream’. Doesn’t that sound impressive! The 

image below speaks for itself I think!

The Wines 

of Provence 

Provence lies in the south east of France. The name ‘Provence ‘ 

comes from the Romans calling it ‘Our Provence’ (Provincia Nostra) 

and French traditional grape varieties. 

Today it is mostly famous for Rosé wines but it 

also has full bodied spicy red wine as well as some 

good quality white. 

BY ‘WINE BUFF’ FRED FISHER 

It stretches from Avignon to Nice and wine has 

been made here for about 2600 years, ever since 

the Ancient Greeks founded Marseilles in 600 

BC. Archaeological evidence proves this and 

fragmented Amphorae, the Roman earthenware 

wine containers, have been found in the area. The 

Romans arrived in 125 BC leading to higher quality 

wine being produced. 

Many winemakers have influenced the area, 

Ancient Greeks, Romans and Italians, who brought 

many new varieties with them and also Spanish 

The Phylloxera bug arrived towards the end of the 

19th Century and to recover their economy after 

this, they planted the high yielding low quality 

Carignan grape. During the 20th Century the area 

became popular with tourists, and it was found 

that cheap Rosé wines were popular. 

Climate and Geography 

Provence has a classic Mediterranean climate with 

mild winters and warm hot summers. It is very 

sunny with about 3000 hours per year. There is a 

danger of grapes becoming too ripe too quickly 

but some protection is provided by the Mistral 

68

FOOD & DRINK 

APRIL 2017 APRIL | ISSUE 2017 #54 | ISSUE | FOOD #54 & DRINK 

wind from the north and proximity to the sea. 

Vineyards facing north need grape varieties that 

can cope with the cooler climate, while those 

facing south, receiving the most sunshine, require 

grapes that can survive the heat. 

Soils vary, some are composed of shale and 

others of limestone. Some coastal areas have 

schist and quartz, while others more inland, have 

clay and sandstone. 

Regions 

There are 8 main regions with AOC classification. 

Cotes de Provence the largest followed by 

Coteaux D’Aix en Provence. 

Other important areas consist of Cassis, 

Bandol, Cote Varais and Bellet. 

Cote de Provence AOC 

75% of all Provence wine 

comes from here and covers 

85 communes. It stretches 

from the Southern Rhone to 

Saint-Tropez. Rosé accounts for 

about 75% of the production but 

red wine, about 15%, is becoming 

increasingly popular and white, 

about 5%, gaining popularity too. Whilst 

the Carignan Grape was the most common there 

are now numerous others being used. These 

include the Grenache, Cinsault and Mourvedre. 

These are from the Rhone Valley and account 

for about 60% of production. New generations 

of winemakers are incorporating new methods 

including the use of oak and temperature 

controlled fermentation 

Much of the Rosé is still sold in the Amphorae 

bottle shapes, much loved by the Romans. 

Coteaux D’Aix en Provence 

This area is concentrated to the west and north 

west of Provence and includes the town of Aixen-Provence. 

60% red wine, 35% Rosé and 5% 

white wines are produced here. The major grapes 

for the red are Grenache, Cinsault and Mourvedre 

but now includes the Cabernet Sauvignon, 

cuttings of which come from Bordeaux. White 

grapes include Bourboulenc, Clairette, Grenache 

Blanc, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and 

Semillon. 

Bandol 

Located near Marseilles and Cassis and west of 

Toulon. Silicon and limestone soils and the warm 

coastal climate work magic for the Mourvedre 

grape. While Grenache and Cinsault usually 

add to the blend, Syrah and Carignan are 

restricted. 

Red Bandol is a rich, dark and highly 

flavoured wine which usually 

requires 10 years ageing before 

tackling. It has 18 months in oak. 

White and Rosé wines are also 

produced in the area. 

Cassis 

Not to be confused with the Blackcurrant 

liqueur, also called Cassis, this area lies between 

Marseilles and Bandol. 75% production is white 

from Clairette, Marsanne, Sauvignon Blanc and 

Ugni Blanc ( the grape used in cognac). 

Bellet AOC 

North of and near Nice this small region has a 

significant Italian influence with the Vermentino 

grape. It produces Red , white and Rosé wines. 

Grapes include Chardonnay, Clairette, Muscat and 

Roussanne. 

Conclusions... 

From the vast quantity of Rosé produced it is worth comparing Provence Rosé with Tavel a Rosé 

from The Rhone Valley. Compare also red Bandol with it’s Mourvedre grape with a New World 

Mourvedre wine. The contrast should be very interesting. Often the name Mourvedre is on the label.

Speckled Egg 

Mimosas... 

Celebrate Easter... 

Speckled egg chocolates sit on the bottom 

of this blackberry-flavored drink, making 

it a unique and festive cocktail for 

Easter. 

Method 

1. To assemble the mimosas, place three 

speckled eggs in the bottom of each glass. 

2. Top each glass with about 2 ounces (or 

one shot) of blackberry simple syrup. 

3. Fill the remaining portion of the glass 

with champagne and then top with edible 

flowers! 

Ingredients 

• 1/2 cup sugar 

• 2 cup water 

• 8 blackberries 

• 1 bottle of champagne 

• 1 bag of speckled egg chocolates 

• 1 handful of edible flowers 

for garnish 

TIP: You can create your blackberry simple syrup 

up to 5 days prior to using, so no need to wait 

until the big day when you have a dozen other 

things on your to-do list. 

Bring the water to a boil and add sugar. As soon 

as the sugar has begun to dissolve, add the black 

berries and muddle to break them up and release 

the colour.

THE NEW MILKSHAKE IN TOWN 

Based in Essex, owners of Shaken 

Udder Jodie and Howie met 

at agricultural university, both 

sharing a passion for music and 

outdoor life. 

Whilst dancing away at V Festival, 

Howie had a sudden craving for 

milkshake. 

He visualized a funky cow, loads of fresh 

fruit, chucks of chocolate and lashings 

of fresh milk. 

Shortly after, Howie called Jodie and 

told her about his idea. Soon after they 

found themselves in the kitchen, with a 

blender and 100’s of ingredients. 

Hours later, full but smiling, the pair had 

a list of fab flavours and a company 

name. 

The Bounce Magazine team were sent 

a few samples, not only were the health 

benefits really positive but we enjoyed 

all of the delicious flavours.

WHAT’S 

your number? 

Fruit & Veg that is… I like to 

think I eat relatively healthy, 

and manage to stay on top of 

my five a day. 

BY RUBY REED 

But then the news 

broke that we 

should be having 

closer to 10 portions 

of fruit and veg 

daily… wait what? 

Don’t get me wrong I like my 

vegetables. But even for a 

vegetable lover this new figure 

seems hard to hit! 

Doing the simple maths, even if I 

have 3 for breakfast, 3 for lunch 

and 3 for dinner- I’m still short! 

Well, let’s think of a few ideas to 

help fit in as many portions as 

possible throughout our day. 

For breakfast try having a glass of fruit juice/smoothie (this 

could contain more than one portion). 

Then whatever you would normally have, with a handful of 

grapes or maybe an apple to go? That’s at least 2 down. 

Now for your morning snack, pack that banana or what 

about some carrot sticks with hummus? 

Lunch time is a chance to get ahead. If you buy your lunch 

daily, look out for the ready-made lunch pots and salads 

that proudly display they contain 2 of your 5 a day. That 

could be 5 portions by lunch! If you’d rather stick to your 

trusty sandwich for lunch don’t skimp on the salad inside! 

Take a leaf out of Subways book- lettuce, sweetcorn, onionthe 

works. By the way, Subway do offer a good salad! 

If you tend to have a side at lunch, there are lots of fruit 

bars available, or how about a handful of raisins. You could 

76


even have prepared a small 

fruit salad (remember to add 

some lemon juice to your 

sliced fruit to keep them fresh 

until lunch!) another way of 

boosting your portion count. 

One way of packing a lot of 

portions into one sitting is 

soup. You can pick a healthy 

one up from most places but 

you could also try homemade. 

Morphy Richards currently do 

a soup maker, which is a new 

obsession of mine. 

Making at home means trying 

out any recipe you fancy. Your 

soups can be ridiculously 

healthy and quickly bring up 

your portion count. 

It’s up to you how many 

carrots you blend! Look online for recipe 

ideas. The choice is endless; potato and leek, 

beetroot and onion, pea and ham. You could 

add lentils too. Best invest in your soup carrier 

now! 7 down? 

Lastly, dinner time meals are easy to add 

vegetable portions to. Whether you fancy 

a side of mushrooms or side salad, there’s 

something to go with every meal. Options 

that are very easy to throw lots of vegetables 

in the mix are stir fry’s and stews. 

You could also try replacing some of your 

staple ingredients such as spaghetti with 

vegetable noodles. Carrots, courgettes or 

anything else you want to try can be made 

using a spiralizer- or straight noodles with an 

ordinary peeler. 

Dessert - Fruit & meringue? Ooh apple 

crumble has got to count too. 

So yes, I guess it is possible to hit the target 

of 10, but probably not something we manage 

every time! However hopefully some of those 

ideas can form new habits for us.

THE PHANTOM OF THE 

photograph... 

Charlotte James Photography - Exist in Photos... 

Mum walks to the top of the stairs 

and to the airing cupboard. She 

reaches to the back of one of the 

shelves and pulls an old tattered 

shoebox from the back. 

Bringing it down to the living room she 

opens the lid to what seems like hundreds of 

Polaroid’s and prints of family, us as children, 

holidays, weddings and birthdays. 

The room lights up, full of smiles. Each of us taking 

turns to recall the memories each photograph was 

bringing back. Yet after a few moments, smiles 

slowly dropped. Our eyes canvassed each image, 

looking in more detail…something was missing. 

No, not something… some one!. Mother. 

All those happy memories and glimpses of the 

past were all being captured with Mum being 

on the other side of the lens. Shying away from 

having her own image taken, simply saying, “ No 

no, I’m not very photogenic” which soon led to her 

no longer being asked. 

The result? This amazing lady now missing, a 

phantom if you will, from each photograph of 

our life events together. With Mother’s day still 

fresh in our minds, reminding us each year just 

how important this special lady is in our lives. Be 

sure this Easter to grab a camera phone, a point 

and shoot or Polaroid camera and capture each 

smile, each laugh and each happy tear. So that 

the incredible lady you know and love, can be 

remembered by 

future generations 

for many years to 

come. 

One day your 

family will 

look back for 

photographs and 

memories of your 

time together… 

What will they find?

Hayseed 

Dixie 

We interview lead singer, John Wheeler, about the 

band’s new album out April 14 th 2017. 

82


INTERVIEW WITH JOHN WHEELER 

Hayseed Dixie began one day in 2000 when John Wheeler and Mike Daly 

drank roughly enough whiskey to float a battleship from the Florida Coast 

over to Portugal and back and decided to play around in John’s studio. 

Now, 17 years and 14 albums later, with global 

physical sales in excess of half a million and 

over 1,200 live shows in 31 different countries 

under their belts, Hayseed Dixie are the 

undisputed creators of the musical genre, 

Rockgrass. 

There are many copycats, 

converts, and disciples out 

there. Accept no imitations. 

Free Your Mind And 

Your Grass Will Follow’ is 

released worldwide on 

April 14 th on Hayseed Dixie 

Records. 

You’re style of music has 

been called Rockgrass, 

can you explain that to us? 

Talking about music is rather like dancing 

about architecture, but instead of trying to 

explain to somebody what kind of music we 

play, the term was coined. Probably very 

late at night. I can’t honestly remember. But 

I do remember saying it on a radio show in 

Birmingham, Alabama in 2001 and it’s been 

in circulation ever since. I reckon we think of 

ourselves as a rock band playing on bluegrass 

instruments, as opposed to a bluegrass band 

playing rock material. There’s a fundamental 

difference. But neither one will likely fix the 

pot holes in the road! 

Having played well over 1000 shows across 

the world, is there anything youve learned 

that needs to be passed 

onto our readers? 

Oh... That would take several 

volumes! But I think the 

most important things I’’ve 

learned is that once you 

get past language barriers, 

people are pretty much the 

same everywhere you go. 

Everybody feels the same 

emotions, the same fears, 

desires, hopes. And that 

most of the differences we’re taught to think 

are national, cultural, ethnic, whatever... are 

artificial. Somebody is just making all this s**t 

up. 

What has been the most unusual place you 

have played? 

There have been a few! A huge cave with 600 

people under a mountain in East Tennessee 

was a pretty interesting one. On the castle 

mound for the 2005 Edinburgh Hogmanay 

For more information go to www.hayseed-dixie.com 

83


was another unusual place for a band like us. 

Hell, singing harmony with Joss Stone, William 

Bell, Ronnie Spector, Paloma Faith, and Boz 

Scaggs while Jools Holland played piano 

and sang “Hit the Road, Jack” on the 2015 

Hootenanny show was pretty surreal. 

14 albums, festival appearances, opening the 

Glastonbury main stage, Top Of The Pops 

and Jools Holland’s Hootenanny what gives 

you the motivation to keep going? 

I’m 47. After doing music with an allconsuming, 

bloody-minded obsessive passion 

for about 40 of those 47 years, and doing 

Hayseed Dixie for 17 of those years, it’s a 

bit too late to reasonably consider doing 

anything else really. I wouldn’t want to either. 

And I’m sincerely appreciative that there are 

enough people out there who want to hire us 

to entertain them buying tickets to the shows 

and records and such that I can make a living 

doing this. Because otherwise, I’d probably 

go do something really destructive... like 

inventing a more refined version of sweetener 

than corn syrup, or maybe running for office. 

Your new album ‘Free Your Mind and Your 

Grass Will Follow’ features a mix of covers 

and originals, why did you decide to shake 

up the format? How do you choose the 

covers you want to do? 

Most of our 14 previous albums are mixtures 

of original songs and reinterpretations of 

known standards, usually based loosely 

around a theme. That’s essentially what most 

jazz, folk and bluegrass albums are too. This 

album is a bit of a departure for the band in 

theme more than in design or presentation. 

I think it sounds musically very much like we 

sound, and have always sounded. If you’ve 

always hated Hayseed Dixie, this record is 

definitely not going to change your mind. 

If you’ve .liked what we’ve done in the past, 

you will probably like this record too. But the 

theme this time is a bit heavier. The world is 

currently a more interesting, uncertain and 

transitioning place than it was when the band 

started 17 years ago, and as we all live and 

84


move and think in the context of the world, I 

guess the subject matter of the album reflects 

that. But we aren’t trying to bash anybody 

over the head with a message. It’s there if you 

want it and it’s so obvious that I don’t need 

to spell it out. But if you just want to dance, 

that’s cool too. Music should get to your brain 

by way of your gut, not the other way around. 

You are playing all over the country and 

specifically Norwich and Cambridge, any 

past experiences at both towns you can tell 

us about? 

Norwich is a lovely little city. It reminds me 

quite a bit of Nashville, where I’m from, in 

vibe, probably because they’re both regional 

capitals, markets for farm products and big 

insurance towns. It doesn’t look anything like 

Nashville, but the attitudes of the people feel 

the same to me. I met my wife in Cambridge, 

laying at the Cambridge Folks Festival. The 

organiser of the festival at the time was 

notoriously cheap and he only gave us half the 

beer we asked for on the rider (at that time, it 

was a case of ale and a case of lager - that’s 

all). He only gave us half the beer! So I had to 

call for the artist rep... And down she came, 

like an angelic Viking incarnation of Jeremy 

Paxman’s mind and attitude in the body of 

“An American Werewolf in London” era Jenny 

Agutur: flaming red hair, clipboard firmly in 

hand, big green eyes, Jane Austin accent 

and delivery: “Is there a problem?!?” And so 

I had to tell HER that if we only got half our 

beer they were going to get half a set. Which 

I dutifully did. And after some discussion, 

which went to and fro and here and there 

(you really should’ve been there), we got our 

beer. And now I’ve got a wife and 2 lovely 

daughters... Which I suppose also answers the 

next question. 

Hayseed Dixie will be playing 

locally on 21st April at The 

Junction in Cambridge and on 24th 

April at the Waterfront in Norwich.

Clinical Negligence APRIL – 2017 When | ISSUE #54 and how to claim 

In these modern times, doctors, nurses and healthcare 

professionals can generally be relied upon to provide 

an excellent standard of service for their patients. 

However, if you, your spouse or child have been 

injured, or if tragically you are the dependent or a 

child of a patient who has died as a result of medical 

treatment, you are entitled to receive an explanation 

from your treatment provider. 

Where the injury or death has been caused or contributed 

to by the breach of a duty of care, you and/or 

your child may be entitled to financial compensation 

for what is now called ‘clinical negligence’, but which 

has in the past been referred as ‘medical negligence’. 

Such claims are not just limited to being brought 

against the National Health Service. If you have been 

treated as a private patient and paid the doctor either 

personally or through your private health insurance, 

you may also be able to make a claim if your treatment 

is found to be below the standard that would normally 

be expected. 

negligence claim, you must prove through independent 

medical expert evidence that firstly there were serious 

errors in the medical treatment that you received which 

no competent doctor would have made; and that those 

errors caused or substantially contributed to the injury 

you are complaining of. With the independent 

medical expert often being required to put forward 

technical medical evidence, for that reason clinical 

negligence claims can take longer to pursue, sometimes 

lasting for years before even reaching Court should the 

medical professional or body in question choose to 

oppose the claim. 

If you are considering bringing a claim, generally the 

first stage would be to submit a letter of complaint to the 

proposed defendant. This gives you an opportunity to 

put forward your grievances and to consider the 

response that they provide. If you then remain 

dissatisfied with the response, it may be that you have 

a claim for clinical negligence and may be entitled to 

compensation for pain, suffering, loss of amenity and 

any past or future financial losses. 

Shortcomings in standards of care can occur when a 

failed or delayed diagnosis is given, there is a failure 

to warn of risk in treatment or to obtain proper consent 

to treatment, there are errors in medication, when 

surgical procedures are carried out carelessly or when 

there are delayed referrals to specialists. 

There are differences in principles and procedures 

when making a claim for clinical negligence rather 

than a claim for personal injuries caused by, for 

example, a road traffic accident. In the latter, it is more 

straightforward to establish whether or not someone 

was at fault and whether any injuries were suffered as 

a result. However, in order to bring a successful clinical

AUGUST 2015 | ISSUE #34 | PROMOTION 


The Duchess of Cornwall formally unveils statue of King 

Charles II at Newmarket’s Rowley Mile Racecourse 

Newmarket Racecourses were delighted to welcome 

Her Royal Highness The Duchess Of 

Cornwall to the Rowley Mile Racecourse 

on 22nd March, as part of an official 

visit to Newmarket, to formally unveil a 

specially commissioned statue of King 

Charles II. 

The town of Newmarket celebrated a 

landmark anniversary of 350 years of 

the Home of Horseracing throughout 

2016 and is lucky enough to boast 

a rich history and heritage, much of 

which includes key influences from the 

Royal Family over the years, especially during the 

reign of King Charles II. 

Known as a keen horseman, King Charles II was 

pivotal to the establishment and evolution of 

Newmarket as the Home of Horseracing, and this 

specially commissioned statue was created to mark 

and honour his contribution to the Sport of Kings. 

200 guests, from the local community 

and racing fraternity, witnessed Her 

Royal Highness unveiling the King 

Charles II statue, with the ceremony 

also including two Mounted Dutymen 

from the Household Cavalry, as well as 

a fanfare from two trumpeters of the 

Regiment. Their presence was again 

to honour King Charles II, who actually 

founded the Household Cavalry in 1660. 

Following the unveiling, Her Royal 

Highness received Sheikh Fahad Al Thani, the 2016 

Newmarket Town Plate winning jockey. 

Sheikh Fahad through QIPCO, and its subsidiary 

Qatar Racing, is a major owner, breeder and investor 

in British Racing.

There is now an unprecedented demand for treatments 

that can encourage a youthful appearance. Today’s 

client seeks instant results. 

This is what I was saying in the 1990’s when I invested in 

my first micro-current device from one of the originators 

of Micro Current Stimulation in the U.S.A. and it remains 

true today. 

The original technology is still recognised as highly 

effective; it continually advances to further benefit the

believe the patented features of Suzuki Sequencing by

Rosacea Awareness Month at SK... 

BY LIANNE ROBINSON 

April has been designated as Rosacea 

Awareness Month by the National Rosacea 

Society (NRS) to raise awareness and 

educate the public of the signs of this 

serious but treatable skin condition. 

Rosacea is a skin condition that is often 

misunderstood and misdiagnosed and has been 

called ‘the great pretender’ as the early symptoms 

can often be confused with acne, mild sensitivity 

and even sunburn. Now, however, the condition 

is becoming more common so it’s important to 

recognise both the signs of its development and 

what steps can be taken to help to control it. 

SK are hosting a Rosacea Awareness event on 

Wednesday 5th April from 5:30pm to 7:30pm - join 

us and enjoy a rose wine or green tea with liquorice 

sweets, take part in our raffle to win a Pevonia gift 

basket of products worth over £100, with further 

offers available on the night. 

alleviating thermal clay mask, used within 

the facial, provides soothing relief and visible 

results to dilated capillaries, congestion, 

blotchiness, and irritability. Comforting and 

healing ingredients such as Rose, Green Tea, 

Chamomile and Liquorice combine to properly 

decongest and calm your skin for an even, 

healthy appearance. 

In other news, OPI has launched the New Fiji

DIOR ME NOT 

BY CARLA MIRELLE JONES

HAIR & BEAUTY 


At Easter we think of new 

beginnings, spring cleaning and 

warmer weather. 

What better way to spring clean your skin than 

with the new range of skin care from Dior. 

They are made up of 84% natural products, 

paraben free and have 30% less impact on the 

environment… just to name a few of the great 

components of the new range. 

Micellar water now containing soothing 

echinacea, is a simple easy way to cleanse and 

take off your make-up. 

They have reformulated the Hydra Life Serum and 

Moisturiser, delivering even better results that 

before, hydrating from deep in the skin to the 

surface. 

I am very excited about the three new masks, the 

Jelly Mask; giving instant radiance and energises, 

containing fruit acids and exfoliating apricot 

kernels. 

Pores away Mask, this is gentle pink clay mask 

containing rose, clearing the pores, purifying and 

refining the skins texture. 

Smooth Balm Mask, plumping the skin to refine 

lines, with repairing white pine it nourishes and 

softens your skin. 

All masks are easy to remove, with water/micellar 

water or cotton pad. 

A good gentle exfoliator is hard to find, but Dior 

have done it again with the exfoliating powder, 

containing polishing lotus flower. Just mix the 

powder with a small amount of water to create a 

paste and rinse off. 

Of course there are more new products all in the 

new range, if you pop to the boots counter to 

find out more and which products would be best 

suited for you skin.

TOP HAIR & 

BEAUTY HACKS 

They say mum knows best – and 

in terms of hair and beauty, this is 

certainly true... 

Top tips include following a good skin care 

regime, not washing your hair too often and 

wearing sunscreen. Others which featured were 

drinking lots of water, taking make-up off before 

you go to bed and ‘less is more’. These are the 

site’s top beauty hacks which we learnt from 

mum: 

1. PROTECT YOUR SKIN FROM UV RAYS 

Whilst you may have hated wearing sunscreen 

and sun hats in your teen years, protecting your 

skin is incredibly important. As well as protecting 

you from harmful rays, it also slows downs the 

signs of aging. Never leave the house without it. 

2. DON’T WASH YOUR HAIR EVERYDAY 

Washing your hair too much can cause dandruff 

and it can strip your hair of its natural oils. 

102

HAIR & BEAUTY 

APRIL 2017 APRIL | ISSUE 2017 #54 | ISSUE | HAIR #54& BEAUTY 

3. FOLLOW A GOOD SKIN CARE REGIME... 

Who else remembers the day your mum bought 

you your first ever moisturiser? Taking care of 

your skin is a must. From cleansing, exfoliating, 

toning and moisturising, it’s important to follow 

that routine mum told you all about. 

4. DON’T USE TOO MANY PRODUCTS... 

Remember wanting to slap on every product you 

could get your hands on? If your mum stopped 

you, then she was right. Keep it simple is the right 

motto when it comes to everyday make up. 

5. BLEND FOUNDATION AND CONCEALER... 

Ever had a line running across your face from 

where your foundation and concealer weren’t 

blended properly? We all did growing up. No 

doubt mum pointed it out and taught you how to 

blend too. 

10. DON’T DYE YOUR HAIR TOO EARLY... 

One of the most important tips we learnt our 

mums, is to avoid dying our hair until absolutely 

necessary. Virgin hair is often the key to the 

healthiest hair possible. Once you start dying your 

hair it’s almost impossible to stop. Growing out 

hair dye or highlights takes a long time. 

For bookings or advice call 

Cabello on 01986 875007 or pop 

in and see us at 3 London Road, 

Halesworth, IP19 8LH. 

6. DRINK PLENTY OF WATER... 

Water is the most important thing to get healthy 

skin and hair. We all know this, but who was the 

first person that told us to drink plenty? Mum of 

course. 

7. TAKE YOUR MAKEUP OFF BEFORE BED... 

Never go to bed with your make up on is number 

one in every beauty rule book. And who taught 

you that rule? 

8. INVEST IN A GOOD FOUNDATION... 

If you’re acne-prone or suffer from oily skin, a 

good foundation can solve all your problems. We 

learnt from our mums that it’s important to invest 

in an expensive foundation that can give you 

coverage but not encourage your spots. 

9. PURCHASE AN EYE CREAM... 

As well as moisturiser, an eye cream is a beauty 

bag essential. Great if eyes feel a little dehydrated.

MY TOP 

Make-up artist tricks... 

You have probably always wondered how professional 

makeup artists work their magic. 

No matter how hard we try, our 

makeup never turns out the 

same. So here are my top 5 tricks 

that I use regularly that will help 

you achieve makeup like the 

professionals. 

1.) GET RID OF REDNESS WITH EYE DROPS 

Eye drops contain ingredients that constrict 

the blood vessels in your eyes alleviating 

redness. 

The same principle applies to pimples of 

redness on the face. 

Take a cotton pad and saturate it with 

some eye drops and apply it to the specific 

area. Within a few minutes, the redness will 

disappear. 

2.) BRIGHTEN UP YOUR SKIN WITH PEACH 

OR APRICOT TONED PRIMERS 

Peach and apricot toned primers are 

brilliant for brightening up dull and 

tired skin, especially for those with 

darker complexions. 

104 104

HAIR & BEAUTY 

APRIL 2017 APRIL | ISSUE 2017 #54 | ISSUE | HAIR #54& BEAUTY 

The coloured tone in the primer helps 

to correct hyper-pigmentation as 

well as counteracting blue/purple toned dark 

circles. 

3.) USE A BEAUTY BLENDER FOR 

FOUNDATION APPLICATION 

Every makeup artist owns one; the make-up 

sponges shape allows you to access every 

contour of your face. 

The ideal way to use it is to ensure that 

the sponge is damp; this will enable you to 

achieve a flawless application. 

4.) BLOT AND USE POWDER TO MAKE 

LIPSTICK LAST 

The key to making lipstick last is to layer. 

Begin with lining and filling in your lip with a 

liner that matches your lipstick. 

5.) USE A LIPSTICK TO CONTOUR 

Then apply a light layer of lipstick using a lip 

brush. 

Take a piece of tissue and blot the colour then 

dust a light layer of translucent powder over 

the top. Repeat this process 1-2 more times. 

Simply try using a brown lipstick 

to contour instead of powder or 

foundation. 

Draw a line use your cheek bones and 

buff out with a brush. 

The lipstick will leave the skin looking 

dewy as opposed to a flat matt finish.

owner would realise attendances had been 

falling in the thousands and acted. Make tickets 

cheaper, get Portman Road full or at least fuller 

again. I appreciate this might be a risky strategy 

but surely one worth trying. 

RIGHT NOW, I’D TAKE MID-TABLE 

MEDIOCRITY. IPSWICH TOWN SIMPLY 

CAN’T GET RELEGATED... 

For a long time now, I have 

been apathetic about events 

along IP1. 

I have reported on too many turgid 

matches at Portman Road, 

too many 90 minutes of 

truly forgettable football 

that I care to name. 

I love football, always 

have, always will. Whether 

it is seeing my five-yearold 

just simply smiling as 

he plays or my nine-yearold 

develop with every 

passing match. 

I love Barcelona 

comebacks, Andy Carroll overheads, 

Lincoln cup shocks and everything in 

between. 

But Ipswich Town, my club for nearly 25 

years, I had fallen out of love with. Apathy 

rather than anger, that was me. 

But something has stirred of late. 

It started, perversely, with the controversial 

ticket increases for next season – despite 

not knowing whether we are going to 

Cardiff or Charlton next season. 

Prior to the announcement, I had hoped 

Marcus Evans would see sense, that the 

What I didn’t expect was a very different 

strategy which appeared to affect the youngest 

family, some of Town’s oldest and therefore most 

loyal fans and many in between. 

It was a spectacular own goal at a time Mick 

McCarthy needs all the support he can get. 

After two days of deserved social media sniping, 

Ipswich took to the field against Cardiff where it 

suddenly dawned on me that my club was in a 

relegation fight. The odds remain in our favour, 

even after a 3-1 defeat to the 

Bluebirds, with Ipswich five 

points clear and in a pack of 

around seven fighting against 

one final relegation place. 

But form and confidence are 

against us and now there is 

mutiny on the terraces to go 

along with the uncertainty around 

the manager. This is quite clearly 

a recipe for disaster. And while I 

think we will just about be safe, 

who can say the same about next season or the 

season after that? All of this has got me thinking 

– and caring – more about my club. The time for 

apathy is over. Ipswich Town simply can’t get 

relegated. Because I fear they may not return.

PEDDLE-OH! 

SPIN IPSWICH 

BY ROSS “ACTION MAN” WISHART 

Spinning is a great form of high 

intense low impact exercise and 

I’ve always been a big fan. 

I actually used to ‘Spin’ twice a week however 

when my gym closed I struggled to find a 

suitable alternative to my regular peddle 

powered sweat fest. 

Many facilities now only offer a DVD guided 

class but there’s usually a diminished level of 

effort and motivation from the group when an 

unenthusiastic fitness model with a full face of 

makeup and painted nails is leisurely cycling 

past a CGI background. You’ll get a far better 

workout and more enjoyable experience only 

when there’s an actual instructor just in front 

of you barking instructions and keeping a 

close eye on your resistance dial all to the 

tune of some deafen drum n bass. (Reading 

this back it doesn’t sound so good but trust 

me it’s better!) 

Fret not, there is an answer, step forward 

our regions only spin specific studio in the 

shape of the all new Spin Ipswich, located 

within the grounds of Gresham sports 

centre, Tuddenham Road, Ipswich and I was 

honoured to attend their launch night. 

The studio is fitted with 20 brand new top of 

the range Bodymax B200 indoor cycling bikes 

but you don’t need any specialist equipment, 

standard gym attire will suffice, do take a 

towel because you will sweat and take a

day including early morning, lunch time and 

evenings to fit around you working schedule 

and the classes do vary with some working on 

overall fitness or for those new to spin, there’s 

also some high intense and muscle group 

specific classes for those more experienced. 

The beauty about the exercise of spinning is 

that it can tick any and all the boxes for 

those looking to add to or kick start their 

fitness regimes. 

A single spin class can burn up to 500 calories 

so it’s ideal for weight loss, it’s also great for 

improvements to your cardio vascular health. 

Stronger, leaner and more defined legs, core 

and glutes also get a big tick. All delivered 

via the means of impact free movement 

avoiding other joint punishing tarmac 

pounding exercises. 

The warm and friendly studio, staff and 

patrons also deliver a team spirit and 

camaraderie that certainly isn’t from 

your DVD. 

Booking cannot be easier, generate an 

account via the website spinipswich.co.uk and 

book your classes, arrive 5 minutes early to 

give you enough time to set up your bike for 

the perfect fit. Then if you fancy something 

more sedate then book one of the Pilates 

or Yoga classes also available at the studio. 

Further details can also be found on the Spin 

Ipswich Facebook and instagram feeds. 

Action Man say: Don’t get in a spin, get 

yourself down to Spin Ipswich!

THEATRE 

ROYAL 

April opens with Theatre Royal Bury 

St Edmund’s very own Youth Theatre 

production of Arabian Nights. 

This classic tale, with original music, is on our 

stage Thursday 6 and Friday 7 April and is a 

great way to kick off the Easter holidays. 

On Saturday 8 April we welcome the stage 

adaptation of Eric Carl’s famous children’s 

book The Very Hungry Caterpillar which will 

be a huge treat for the kids (and adults) in 

the audience. 

We then have Noël & Gertie, a love story 

which looks at the tempestuous relationship 

between two of the 20th Century’s best 

loved performers, Noël Coward and Gertrude 

Lawrence on Tuesday 11 and Wednesday 12. 

We have another children’s book adaptation, 

Julia Donaldson’s Room on the Broom over 

the Easter break on Fri 14 and Sat 15 April. 

This has been so popular that we have had 

to programme in another show and we now 

have a waiting list! 

There’s cracking drama in the form of Just 

an Ordinary Lawyer on Thursday 20 April. 

The story follows Nigerian Tunji Sowande 

and discovers how he broke through multiple 

barriers to become Britain’s first black judge. 

He was also a concert performer and huge 

cricket lover. 

For anyone who enjoys the music of Frankie 

Valli and the Four Seasons we can make 

your Friday night with Big Girls Don’t Cry, 

celebrating the music of one of America’s top 

bands on 21 April. 

Adding a slice of spice to your Saturday night 

we welcome Tangomotion on Saturday 22 

April with their stunning display of traditional 

tango dances. 

Finishing off a busy April we welcome the 

stars of the future when the London Academy 

of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA) visit 

Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds with a double 

bill of shows. First up is William Shakespeare’s 

As You Like It which will be performed 

between Wednesday 26 and Thursday 27 

April, followed by Bury Fair by Thomas 

Shadwell, specifically chosen to be played in 

Bury St Edmunds by LAMDA, this 1689 play 

is an affectionate satire of Shadwell’s home 

town and will be performed between Friday

ENTERTAINMENT 

#21 

BY JACK STEVENS 

MUSIC 

This month, I review the new 

album ‘Country Sober,’ by local 

artist Jay Ducker... (yes, he is the 

brother of the editor). 

Country Sober’, in its entirety, echoes 

what’s fundamentally important about the 

art of songwriting. It’s about space. 

Minimal arrangements bring a reminder 

that music is truly gripping when it’s given 

the opportunity to flourish in the lightest 

of ways. With tracks like ‘North Sea Blues’ 

and ‘Wild Life’, it proves that songs should 

be structured thoughtfully, with a natural 

crescendo. Instruments that fold into each 

other’s sound with grace and elegance; 

that’s what gives music its emotive quality, 

when it captures an organic process like a 

building, emotional turmoil. 

Vocally, it matches in it’s hereditary 

delivery. Ducker’s voice soothes, with 

emotion being the intrinsic value. 

It washes neatly into the wake of 

reverberated sound. Similes in the lyrics 

‘like a flower, like a bird’ display a delicate 

and transparent image that personifies 

Ducker’s approach to songwriting as a 

solo artist. 

There are certain moments where you can 

wince at cliché; the opening line of ‘New 

To Me’ (“With my last cigarette / I hold my 

gaze towards the moon”) can give you an 

inward shudder, in the same way as you 

may recall early teenage poetry whilst in 

your late twenties. But it comes from an 

honest place, an honest voice. And it can 

be forgiven. 

Influence is hard to draw from this record 

(which is a good thing). In parts, it has 

the roots of folk and country (perhaps 

an obvious observation, with it’s title) 

embedded into it’s storytelling. Gods and 

Demons emerge in ‘The Day We Threw It 

All Away’, with a heart on the sleeve, of a 

man wise behind his years, being shown 

bare. 

Elsewhere, there are traces of electronic 

lean, with London Grammar-esque 

sequences bleeding into tracks like ‘The 

Painter Of The Sky’ and ‘I’m Gonna Lose’. 

Without announcement, ‘Geyser’ creeps in 

with its gentile post-rock sound, calling to 

mind bands like Mogwai or Explosions In 

The Sky. 

Ultimately, it has the impression of a record 

that’s been weaved together from different 

periods of this artist’s creative life, who’s 

daring enough to draw the songs in an 

order that works, despite the cyclone of 

different sentiments that inspire each 

composition. 

When the dust settles, there is space. And 

that is what’s fundamentally important 

about the art of songwriting. Ducker 

achieves that rudimentary principle in a 

collection of deep songs.

Archie’s 

Adventures 

DID ANYONE SEE CRUFTS?... 

Last month, we saw the return of 

Crufts, the Oscars of the dog world 

and the annual showcase for the UK’s 

most pampered pooches to show 

what they’re made of in front of a 

worldwide audience. 

I was going to trot along and strut my stuff, but 

the sofa sounded a much more comfortable 

option to me. 

The event this year took place 9th – 12th March 

at Birmingham’s NEC with Best In Show, the 

most popular event, taking place on the Sunday 

afternoon. 

As the event celebrates its 126 th year, I wanted 

to bring you five lesser-known facts about this 

fabulous canine competition. 

There really was a Mr Cruft… 

Charles Cruft was a dog biscuit salesman before 

founding the now infamous dog show in 1886. 

It was originally limited to toy dogs and terriers 

and then opened up to all breeds five years after 

its launch creating the event we know and love 

today. 

It’s a world record holder... 

Crufts was recognised by the Guinness Book of 

Records as the world’s largest dog show in 1991 

with 27,000 dogs taking part. 

There’s a version for mongrels... 

Scruffts is the crossbreed version of Crufts that 

began in 2000. Titles include: Most Handsome 

Dog, Prettiest Bitch, Child’s Best Friend, Golden 

Oldie. 

Bag yourself a winner... 

Statistically speaking, Cocker Spaniels are the 

most likely breed to win the Best in Show crown. 

And finally… 

350kg or 55 stone of dog fur will be cleared from 

the NEC after the event! 

Might get myself in training for next year’s event, 

if I start now you never know.
