MAY <strong>2017</strong><br />
<strong>May</strong> just so happens to be my favourite time of<br />
year, yes, you guessed it... I am a Taurian, it’s my<br />
birthday soon... and I can’t wait to celebrate!<br />
It’s been a very busy month here at <strong>Bounce</strong> HQ,<br />
not only have we moved offices; I have literally<br />
just moved the final box into my first purchased<br />
house! Not to fear though, I have still managed to<br />
find time to bring you another exciting edition of<br />
<strong>Bounce</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong>, full of your usual favourites.<br />
If you haven’t heard of The Amazons yet, you will<br />
do! Hot on the rock music scene, I recently caught<br />
up with lead singer Matt Thompson about the<br />
band and their new album. I have really enjoyed<br />
their music, so I urge you to read the interview<br />
and to take a listen!<br />
This month, we visited the coast for our monthly<br />
food review, which took place at the renowned<br />
Sutherland House in Southwold.<br />
We were delighted to see ingredients were locally<br />
sourced, plus, the restaurant has been awarded<br />
two rosettes by the AA for the quality of their<br />
food. Check out our full review in the Food and<br />
Drink section.<br />
During April, I was privileged to be invited back<br />
to the annual Hobbs Fashion show to compère<br />
at the event for the Women’s Refuge in Bury St<br />
Edmunds. See pages 12 & 13 to find out all about it.<br />
The Beccles Food & Drink festival returns to the<br />
town at the end of the month. We will be there in<br />
full force, so make sure you pop along and say hi!<br />
Read more on pages 60 & 61.<br />
Also in this issue, Maximo Park are back and<br />
launch their new album, Beccles Lido re-opens,<br />
Action Man tries Martial Arts, plus, I interview<br />
local businesswoman Georgia Fulcher about her<br />
business ‘Boomting Bunting’.<br />

CHEF ABDUS SHAHID<br />
Aloo Tikki ~ Vegan and<br />
Gluten Free<br />
Method<br />
1. Chop potatoes into approximately 1 inch<br />
cubes and begin to boil a large pot of water<br />
(about 10 cups).<br />
2. Once water is boiling, carefully drop in<br />
potatoes and reduce heat to medium high.<br />
Allow water to come back up to a boil. Set<br />
your timer for about 7 minutes… or cook until<br />
potatoes are fork tender.<br />
3. Once the potatoes are finished cooking,<br />
drain and run briefly under cold water.<br />
Transfer to large bowl and mash up with a<br />
potato masher, leaving fairly large chunks.<br />
You want this to be a “rough” mash. You can<br />
also use a fork or mix briefly in your electric<br />
mixer.<br />
4. In small pan, combine leek, ginger, garlic,<br />
turmeric, cumin, garam masala and lemon<br />
zest with a touch of cooking oil and fry over<br />
medium high heat just until fragrant… about<br />
2 minutes. Stir spices into the bowl with the<br />
potatoes, along with the besan flour, salt, and<br />
lemon juice. Fold in peas and cilantro.<br />
5. Shape into patties about 1 x 2 inches, and<br />
deep fry at 360 °F for about 3 or so minutes,<br />
until they turn nice and dark golden brown.<br />
Let cool to just above room temperature and<br />
then serve.<br />

Ingredients<br />
• 4 medium to large sized potatoes, skin on<br />

In aid of the Women’s Refuge, Hobbs in Bury St<br />
Edmunds show their support for a special cause...<br />
CHARITY FASHION<br />
SHOW<br />
“Bury St Edmunds Women’s Aid Centre (the Refuge) was<br />
established in 1974 to provide safety and support for women<br />
and children experiencing Domestic Abuse.”<br />
On Wednesday 5 th April, Hobbs fashion store at<br />
The Arc, Bury St Edmunds, held a special charity<br />
fashion show in aid of Bury’s Women’s Refuge.<br />
When sadly, I found myself in a time of need, their<br />
doors were open to give me all of the help and<br />
advice I required. I wasn’t alone.<br />
<strong>Bounce</strong> Editor, Rachel Ducker, was invited along<br />
to report and compère at the event.<br />
“The women’s refuge in Bury St Edmunds is a<br />
charity which is very close to my heart, so I was<br />
delighted when I was asked to help with the event.<br />
Although domestic violence is becoming more<br />
talked about now a days and with shows (like ‘The<br />
Archers’) covering this sensitive topic, until you<br />
have lived it, domestic violence can be a very hard<br />
topic to understand. This is now a topic that I am<br />
no longer afraid of.<br />

Manager Tracey Zahra-Norris and her staff were<br />
on hand to make the event a great success and<br />
managed to raise over £250 for the charity.<br />
Most recently the store celebrates the win of a<br />
nationwide award for being the top performing<br />
store in their UK portfolio throughout the autumn<br />
and winter season and is the second store in the<br />
UK to have a refit, making the store a flagship one.<br />
Bury St Edmunds Women’s Aid Centre (the<br />
Refuge,) was established in 1974 to provide safety<br />
and support for women and children experiencing<br />
Domestic Abuse. The Refuge has living<br />
accommodation for up to 23 bed spaces. They<br />
offer temporary accommodation in a safe and<br />
supportive refuge where women and their children,<br />
can recover from the traumatic effects of domestic<br />
violence and make informed choices. Not only that<br />
there is also a wide range of community services,<br />
courses and counselling to support women to<br />
rebuild their lives after abuse.<br />
Hobbs would like to thank everyone for coming<br />
along and to the staff and models on the evening.”<br />
Contact Women’s Refuge on 01284 753085 or<br />
see www.burystedmundswomensaid.org.uk<br />
Some abuse is not always physical, and mental<br />
scars can last just as long.<br />
The popular event at Hobbs was enjoyed by<br />
all, and guests were given a glimpse of the new<br />
seasons fashions. The mayor Terry Buckle, was<br />
also in attendance on the evening, as the Women’s<br />
Refuge is one of his chosen charities this year.<br />

Well hello there! I’m back with my monthly column… Ok so firstly a reminder<br />
about me. I’m Zena (Zee for short) I’m 43, a mother and a grandmother.<br />
It has been very busy<br />
here at the ‘I’m Not Old<br />
I’m Retro Hub’. I’m in the<br />
process of launching my<br />
own strip lashes product<br />
called LILY LASHES and<br />
I’m really excited about<br />
my latest collaboration<br />
with a company called<br />
Tickets Only.<br />
As you know, my<br />
husband and I are<br />
really into the Mod and<br />
Northern Soul Scene.<br />
I have said before, I’m<br />
not a purist and I love anything from<br />
1940’s-1960’s.<br />
I also like to mix styles. So when Mod<br />
Trainers Company ‘Tickets<br />
Only’ approached me I was<br />
very excited.<br />
These trainers are designed<br />
to replicate the trainer’s<br />
worn buy the Mod on<br />
the album booklet that<br />
accompanies The WHO’s<br />
soundtrack to the film<br />
QUADROPEHINA. They<br />
are of course a British<br />
company and are now a<br />
firm favourite<br />
of the<br />
Modfather<br />
himself, Paul<br />

The Wedding Cake - Revisited<br />
BY CATHERINE STARLING-GUNFIELD<br />
Cakes have been<br />
associated with<br />
weddings throughout<br />
history.<br />
The Romans shared cake during<br />
the wedding ceremony which was a<br />
plain confection made from wheat<br />
flour, salt and water.<br />
In Britain early cakes were flat and<br />
round and contained fruit and nuts<br />
which symbolise fertility.<br />
The shape of the modern three<br />
tiered iced cake is believed to have<br />
been inspired by the spire of Saint Bride’s Church in the City of<br />
London.<br />
Superstitions & Rituals<br />
It is said that unmarried guests who place a piece of wedding<br />
cake under their pillow before sleeping will increase their<br />
prospects of finding a partner and bridesmaids who do will<br />
dream of their future husbands.<br />
Cutting the wedding cake is now part of the ritual celebrations<br />
at the reception. The couple make the first cut together to<br />
symbolise their shared future.<br />
Ideas<br />
• Different flavoured tiers.<br />
• Using fake tiers to add height.<br />
• Coloured icing to match your theme.<br />
• Something different? Tiered cheese cake, tiered giant<br />

The art of<br />
BUNTING<br />
We interview<br />
Georgia Fulcher from<br />
Boomting Bunting...<br />
Boomting Bunting<br />
provides high quality<br />
bunting and drapes, to add<br />
an extra burst of colour or<br />
class to any event.<br />
Perfect for baby showers,<br />
birthday parties, tea parties,<br />
engagements, village halls,<br />
marquees, rugby clubs, garden<br />
parties, corporate events and<br />
many more. They can create<br />
bespoke packages that include<br />
drapes, bunting, lighting and<br />
lanterns to ensure a more<br />
affordable way of achieving the<br />
desired look. Rachel Ducker<br />
interviewed Georgia Fulcher<br />
to find out more about the<br />
company.<br />
R: What was the inspiration behind Boomting Bunting?<br />
I was on maternity leave and my mum wanted a hand<br />
making some bunting for my sisters wedding. As it turns<br />
out, our creative minds and passion for sewing worked well<br />
together!<br />
R: How long have you been in business?<br />
We’ve been in business since October 2016.<br />
R: How has the business evolved since then? After<br />
meeting clients/other business through hiring bunting,<br />
we soon had a lot of requests for venue draping. We can<br />
transform any venue with our drapes, bunting, lanterns<br />
and lights into something beautiful! We are soon starting<br />
Throne Hire (Its big in London and we want to bring it to<br />
the countryside) and a whole range of quirky décor hire!<br />
R: What has been your favourite creation to date?<br />
My favourite creation has to be our bohemian bunting<br />
range. It’s colourful and quirky and represents us perfectly.<br />
It can be finished with strips of material in between flags to<br />
give a rustic feel. My mum loves all of our bespoke projects.<br />

She loves a challenge and is a<br />
wiz on the sewing machine.<br />
R: How do people use your<br />
bunting?<br />
Our bunting and drapes are<br />
used to transform any venue<br />
into something special. People<br />
can use any combination of<br />
any colours, which creates<br />
something unique to them.<br />
People use Boomting Bunting<br />
in particular, because we offer<br />
a friendly and professional<br />
service. We will always do<br />
everything we can to meet<br />

R: Can it be personalised?<br />
With our bunting, you can<br />
mix any of our designs that<br />
we currently have, and we<br />
can make bespoke pieces for<br />
something extra special.<br />
R: What about the turn<br />
around time? Bespoke designs<br />
take four weeks on average, (smaller designs<br />
are much quicker). Our hiring designs are<br />
available as soon as they are booked! As soon<br />
as the deposit is paid, we will secure your<br />
date and make arrangements on delivery.<br />
R: If anyone wants to purchase some bunting<br />

THE AMAZONS...<br />
The Amazons are tipped to be one of <strong>2017</strong>’s biggest breakthrough rock acts<br />
and have been listed on nearly every ‘artists to watch’ lists for <strong>2017</strong>… it’s no<br />
surprise as they have been independently building their sound for years.<br />
The release of their eagerly anticipated selftitled<br />
debut album, is out <strong>May</strong> 26th on Fiction<br />
Records. Lead singer, Matt Thomson’s knack<br />
for introspective lyricism shines through in an<br />
emotive vocal delivery, completed by guitarist<br />
Chris Alderton, coy bassist Elliot Briggs and<br />
powerhouse drummer Joe Emmett. The<br />
Amazon’s crushing contemporary rock is one<br />
to blow out your speakers to.<br />
Rachel Ducker caught up<br />
with Matt Thomson to find<br />
out about The Amazon’s<br />
upcoming tour and new<br />
debut album.<br />
R: How did you form as a<br />
band and when?<br />
That’s a good question.<br />
September 2014 was the official time that The<br />
Amazons started. Myself, Chris our guitarist<br />
and Elliot our bassist, had been navigating<br />
around a fairly desolate, baron landscape<br />
in the Reading scene for a couple of years,<br />
after being in various bands and never really<br />
getting anywhere. We picked up management<br />
in a previous band, but it didn’t work out for<br />
whatever reason… maybe because we were a<br />
little bit too young to know which direction<br />
we wanted to go in.<br />
We lost our drummer from that project –<br />
project sounds terrible! I mean we had a<br />
band!... So, we were looking for a drummer,<br />
we auditioned anyone and everyone in<br />
our path, and in the meantime worked on<br />
acoustic gigs. By this point we’d finished<br />
school and wanted to have a crack at doing<br />
music. We didn’t go to uni, we just got jobs at<br />
supermarkets, me and Elliot our bassist were<br />
working at Waitrose, and<br />
we stumbled across Joe and<br />
it turned out to be pretty<br />
good. We then settled on<br />
the band name The Amazons<br />
and finally it just felt like<br />
something fit with The<br />
Amazons.<br />
What made you settle on the<br />
name The Amazons?<br />
There’s a book by Arthur Ransome called<br />
‘Swallows and Amazons’, it was a movie set in<br />
the Lake District in the 1920s – it’s the most<br />
inoffensive, bordering on dull, super not rock<br />
n roll book. I read it a few years ago; it was on<br />
my bookshelf and I thought, is there a band<br />
called The Amazons? It sounded obvious<br />
that there would have been though when I<br />
Googled it there was nothing.<br />

FEATURE<br />
MAY <strong>2017</strong> | ISSUE #55<br />
It’s a hard job isn’t it to pick a name that will stick with<br />
you forever?<br />
Ah it’s the worst, like song titles, album names, everything!<br />
How difficult has it been to make an impact on the music<br />
scene?<br />
Through a lot of failed attempts in previous bands, we<br />
kind of settled on an ethos of doing as much as possible<br />
on our own. We are in an Internet age, we are an Internet<br />
generation, I don’t really remember a huge amount before<br />
dial up connections. We know what we are about and very<br />
early on we wanted it to be a really natural thing, so we set<br />
up a core fan base in our hometown.<br />
This is why we didn’t move to Manchester or London and<br />
become just “another” band. We’d do things like go to<br />
WH Smith and buy a lot of cheap CDs, then burn our self<br />
produced demos on them and instead of selling them, we<br />
handed them out to anyone who came to our shows. It’s<br />
funny as now people still come to our shows who have<br />
those original CDs. We were in the mindset of ‘the right<br />
people will come to us at the right time’, we will just do our<br />
thing, create our own world, write our own story, we’ll paint<br />
our own picture, we’ll carve our own path and that’s exactly<br />
what happened. We ended up with really passionate<br />
people who we love working with. I think that’s the best<br />
advice I could give anyone, the right people will find you,<br />
set the tone, you don’t need people pulling you along, you<br />
need to be leading them.<br />
I heard you played around 75 gigs alone last year, does it<br />
ever get tiring?<br />
Yeah it does. Its quite a tiring process, but we know what<br />
life is without being in the band, you never really take it<br />
forgranted when your on tour, but its tough, but its what<br />
we’re passionate about and we’re lucky enough to have<br />
that. Even when we played to 20 people in the early days,<br />
it wasn’t like ‘oh no’ – it was like; ‘ah at least we get to do<br />
a gig’. We have a love of the process rather than a love of<br />
the perceived end game and the success. Being famous is a<br />
bi-product of the music. If we were obsessed with success<br />
and fame, we wouldn’t have lasted two years under the<br />

radar before anyone really picked us up and<br />
started talking about us, I wouldn’t be talking<br />
to you now. The amount of times we played<br />
to no one in unknown places… it can be sole<br />
destroying but what keeps you going is your<br />
passion for music.<br />
What was your favourite gig so far? Have you<br />
ever had a time standing on the stage and<br />
thinking, we’ve made it!<br />
Ha ha… umm that is yet to happen! It will<br />
happen soon. I think when we play our<br />
hometown in Reading it has a certain energy<br />
and vibe, I think people are excited to see us<br />
come from Reading. We actually blew out the<br />
PA during our last visit, which was great, it<br />
was fun and in the moment.<br />
I’ve looked at your dates - your playing<br />
quite a lot of places in a short space of time,<br />
looking at your list, I’m thinking how do you<br />
get from Sweden to Norway to Germany in a<br />
couple of days, it must be intense?<br />
Ha ha… umm that is yet to happen! It will<br />
happen soon. I think when we play our<br />

you guys… you were included in the BBCs<br />
“sound of <strong>2017</strong>” and MTV’s “Brand New<br />
<strong>2017</strong>” lists how did that feel?<br />
We feel grateful in a way that we are flying<br />
the flag for the wave of rock bands. There<br />
is a huge array of talent in the scene at the<br />
moment. Its good for the genre!<br />
Your debut album is out on 26th <strong>May</strong>, what<br />
can we expect?<br />
The response has been amazing so far and we<br />

think if you’ve listened to ‘In My Mind’ ‘Black<br />
Magic’…<br />
I’ve actually been listening to those tracks<br />
recently and loving them…<br />
Aw thank you very much. On the new album<br />
there’s a display of the more heavier and<br />
raw sides, but I think we’ve got some other<br />
faces to show. There are a few more intimate<br />
and quieter moments that people might not<br />
expect.<br />
Thanks for talking the time to talk to me<br />

THE SPRING<br />
survival guide...<br />
BY SARAH FARRANT, OPTOMETRIST<br />
While the warmer weather and<br />
brighter evenings make Spring<br />
many people’s favourite time of<br />
year, it is set to trigger a wave of<br />
problems due to the start of hay<br />
fever season.<br />
Trees begin to pollenate as early as March, and<br />
with this comes microscopic spores, dust and<br />
pollen that irritate our eyes and sinuses. Hay<br />
fever affects more than 1 in 5 people in the UK,<br />
with one of the most common symptoms being<br />
itchy, burning and watery eyes.<br />
Here are Sarah’s 5 top tips to help you survive<br />
this hay fever season naturally:<br />
BANISH STUFFY NOSES<br />
Springtime is all about getting outdoors and<br />
being active, but feeling stuffy and blocked<br />
up can make that a challenge. Blocked sinuses<br />
from pollen allergies can leave you feeling<br />
lethargic and sluggish but there are things we<br />
can do to help. Try adding a couple of drops<br />
of peppermint oil to a bowl of hot water and<br />
inhaling the vapour. It will help clear blocked<br />
noses as well as being calming!<br />
DUAL PROTECTION FOR ITCHY EYES<br />
One of the most common hay fever<br />
complaints is itchy, burning, and watery<br />
eyes, but preservative free eye drops can<br />
help to protect and soothe them. Brand<br />
new Hycosan Dual provides protection and<br />
relief for allergy affected eyes. It contains all<br />
natural ingredients which combine to form a<br />
dual barrier against pollen, dust particles and<br />
animal hair. It’s unique bottle design means it<br />
stays sterile for 6 months and it’s contact lens<br />
friendly. (£14.95 available from Boots and all<br />
good opticians and pharmacies)<br />
CALM THOSE COUGHS<br />
Whether it’s pollen, or dust from spring<br />
cleaning, breathing in these microscopic<br />
particles can irritate our lungs and cause<br />
coughs and sore throats. Manuka honey is<br />
4 times as rich in amino acids, vitamins and<br />
minerals as regular honey which makes it a<br />
great way to stimulate our immune system<br />
and prevent throat irritation and coughing.<br />
Add a spoonful to your smoothie or yoghurt<br />
for a healthy breakfast with a boost.<br />
BE SNEEZE-FREE<br />
Sneezing is the body’s way of getting rid of<br />
bacteria and viruses so it’s an important part<br />
of the immune system. In springtime however,<br />
pesky pollen particles can enter the nose and<br />
cause irritation leading to fits of sneezing.<br />
Replace your coffee with a cup of chamomile<br />
tea. Coffee contains histamine which can<br />
aggravate allergy symptoms like sneezing.<br />
Chamomile, however is a natural antihistamine<br />
and a mild sedative so swap that coffee-crash<br />
for pure relaxation.<br />

Benefits<br />
Stretches the chest and lungs<br />
Strengthens the arms and wrists, legs,<br />
buttocks, abdomen, and spine<br />
Stimulates the thyroid and pituitary<br />
Increases energy and counteracts depression<br />
Therapeutic for asthma, back pain, infertility,<br />
and osteoporosis<br />
Cautions:<br />
Back injury, Carpal tunnel syndrome, Diarrhea,<br />
Headache, Heart problems, High or low blood<br />
pressure<br />
How to try the pose:<br />
1. Lie supine on the floor. Bend your knees<br />
and set your feet on the floor, heels as<br />
close to the sitting bones as possible. Bend<br />
your elbows and spread your palms on the<br />
floor beside your head, forearms relatively<br />
perpendicular to the floor, fingers pointing<br />
toward your shoulders.<br />
2. Pressing your inner feet actively into the<br />
floor, exhale and push your tailbone up toward<br />
the pubis, firming (but not hardening) the<br />
buttocks, and lift the buttocks off the floor.<br />
Keep your thighs and inner feet parallel. Take<br />
2 or 3 breaths.<br />
3. Press your feet and hands into the floor,<br />
tailbone and shoulder blades against your<br />
back, and with an exhalation, lift your head off<br />
the floor and straighten your arms. Turn the<br />
upper thighs slightly inward and firm the outer<br />
thighs. Narrow the hip points and lengthen<br />
the tailbone toward the backs of the knees,<br />
lifting the pubis toward the navel.<br />
4. Turn the upper arms outward but keep<br />
the weight on the bases of the index fingers.<br />
Spread the shoulder blades across the back<br />
and let the head hang, or lift it slightly to look<br />
down at the floor.<br />
5. Stay in the pose anywhere from 5 to 10<br />
seconds or more, breathing easily. Repeat<br />
anywhere from 3 to 10 times.<br />
Beginner’s Tip:<br />
The knees and feet tend to splay as you lift<br />
into this pose, which compresses the lower<br />
back. In the beginning position, loop and<br />
secure a strap around your thighs, just above<br />
the knees, to hold the thighs at hip width and<br />
parallel to each other. To keep the feet from<br />
turning out, place a block between them, with<br />
the bases of the big toes pressing the ends<br />
of the block. As you go up, press the feet into<br />
the block.<br />

THE TAILOR<br />
OF DISS<br />
Murder in a Norfolk market town...<br />
The largest congregation to attend a service<br />
at the parish church did not do so to listen to<br />
Reverend Edward Chappelow. On Sunday 4th<br />
April 1742, four thousand people crowded in to<br />
the church to glimpse a local tailor named Robert<br />
Carlton.<br />
He was there under close guard, as he had been<br />
convicted of one of the most celebrated crimes<br />
of his generation. The following day he was to<br />
be hanged on Diss Common for the crimes of<br />
sodomy with his young lodger and for poisoning<br />
his lodger’s fiancée.<br />
The two men enjoyed a relationship, until Lincoln<br />
tired of their secretive way began courting a<br />
young country girl, Mary Frost, from Redgrave<br />
in Suffolk. Carlton became very angry and<br />
threatened Lincoln that “if he ever brought his<br />
whores near to him he would do them some<br />
mischief”. But paying no regard the young<br />
couple continued to meet and a few weeks later<br />
announced their marriage.<br />
On the evening of 15th November 1741, Carlton,<br />
now reconciled to the marriage, invited Mary<br />
and Samuel Fuller, her landlord, to his house for<br />
supper. That night she became violently sick and<br />
died in agony at Fuller’s house the following day,<br />
and when the doctors opened her they found all<br />
her entrails affected by the poison.<br />
The trial was reported throughout the region.<br />
Lincoln admitted to his relationships with both<br />
Robert Carlton and Mary Frost, and recounted the<br />
threats to poison her. Finally Samuel Fuller told<br />
the story of their meal together, and suggested<br />
that the salt given to Mary had been mixed with<br />
the poison.<br />
Executions outside of London were still not very<br />
common in the early eighteenth century, and<br />
even a city such as later in the eighteenth century,<br />
Carlton’s homosexuality was undoubtedly an<br />
element in the popular interest in the case, and<br />
an added attraction for the crowds who were<br />
expected to attend the planned spectacles.<br />
On the Monday morning, following his appearance<br />
at church, the second ‘event’ was organised for<br />
the benefit of the spectators. Although Robert<br />
Carlton continued to deny knowledge of the<br />
murder, he could not bring himself to condemn<br />
his young lover who had testified against him.<br />
Thus the two men were brought together at a<br />
local alehouse, where, under public gaze, they<br />
each “drank a pint of ale and ate a bis¬cuit<br />
together, and parted good friends”. At about four<br />
o’clock in the afternoon, the wretched Carlton<br />
was eventually brought to the scaffold in an open<br />
cart, and taken up in front of the jeering crowd, to<br />
face his hangman.<br />
Carlton’s body was put in chains, and hung from a<br />
tall gibbet, erected on Diss common close to the<br />
gallows, where it could be seen for miles around.<br />
It was left to rot and be eaten by the crows.<br />

SUTHERLAND<br />
HOUSE<br />
BY RACHEL DUCKER<br />
Sutherland House sits proudly in the<br />
centre of Southwold, a popular seaside<br />
town in Suffolk. The <strong>Bounce</strong> team<br />
stopped by to see what the boutique<br />
hotel and restaurant had to offer its<br />
coastal clientele...<br />

enjoy a peaceful meal in relaxed and calming<br />
surroundings.<br />
During summer months, there is also an<br />
outdoor seating area at the back of the house,<br />
which is transformed into a buzzing al fresco<br />
dining area... Not forgetting to mention, its<br />
close proximity to the seafront, ideal for an<br />
after dinner stroll along the promenade.<br />
Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, it is<br />
advisable to book in advance! This place gets<br />
pretty busy and if you continue to read you<br />
will see why.<br />
Accompanied by my good friend, Lois, (who<br />
was more than happy to offer her tasting<br />
services for the evening), we arrived and took<br />
our seats in the dimly lit dining room.<br />
“Sutherland House is full of period charm,<br />
from wooden beams to elegant pargetted<br />
ceilings and open fireplaces.<br />
Dating back to 1455 this very rustic, but<br />
trendy building, complete with its own<br />
contemporary bar made of vintage wine<br />
boxes, offers diners an interesting and<br />
intimate setting.<br />
It shot to prominence in the 17th century when<br />
it became a naval headquarters during the<br />
Anglo-Dutch Wars and was frequented by the<br />
Duke of York (later James II) and the Earl<br />
of Sandwich.<br />
Set on Southwold’s bustling high street, this<br />
adult only boutique establishment, offers<br />
the perfect escape for those wishing to<br />
Owners, Andy and Kinga Rudd, have clearly<br />
worked extremely hard to give the building<br />
a new lease of life. Stand out features<br />
include the funky bar area and beautiful soft<br />
furnishings, which add balance to the venue,<br />
creating a warming accenting the rustic<br />
traditional fixtures.<br />
At first glance, the menu seemed excellently<br />
thought out, with a great emphasis on local<br />
food... in my opinion, this is always the sign<br />
of a great local eatery. In fact, Sutherland<br />
House actually print food miles on their<br />
menu to quantify this, and only use seasonal<br />
ingredients. Many of the fruit and vegetables<br />
travel no more than 400 yards - from the<br />
hotel’s own allotment - and much of the fish<br />
comes straight from the harbour!<br />
A glass of champagne kick started the meal,<br />
followed shortly by an ‘Artichoke and Truffle<br />
Amuse-Bouche’, served in a miniature<br />
cup and saucer. Neither lasted long, a<br />
promising start.<br />
If you’re a meat-eater, you must try the<br />

award-winning black pudding, which I had<br />
the pleasure of sampling in my starter dish.<br />
Served beneath ‘Seared Scottish Scallops<br />
and Pork Belly, with Parsnip Puree and<br />
Pomegranate Seeds’ it was packed full of<br />
flavour. This, coming from someone who<br />
doesn’t usually entertain Black Pudding!<br />
Lois selected the ‘Candied & Pickled<br />
Heritage Beets with Pomegranate, Stilton<br />
and Endive Salad’. This little concoction of<br />
ingredients had a slightly sweet and sour taste<br />
surrounding it, the punch of the beets lead to<br />
tones of sweetness, creating a really fresh and<br />
zingy dish.<br />
There’s a strong wine list on offer, and Andy<br />
was happy make recommendations to pair<br />
with food. My favourite glass was the ‘Saint<br />
Clair Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough’<br />
by Matt Thomson, which accompanied my<br />
main dish. A crisp and powerful white wine,<br />
whilst remaining full and well-balanced, with a<br />
slightly salty minerality.<br />
Being near to the coast the menu is naturally<br />
fish-heavy, so I decided to try the ‘Pan Fried<br />
Fillet of Sea Bream with Champ Mash and<br />
Pistachio Pesto’, accompanied with some<br />
Fried Green Beans & Mushrooms in Garlic. It<br />
was particularly good; light and flavoursome<br />
and filling but not too heavy. Just what you<br />
desire from a main meal. Whilst I got tucked<br />
into my fish dish, Lois got stuck into Steak.<br />
The Grilled 28-day aged Rib-Eye Steak<br />
complete with ‘Confit Plum Tomatoes, Hand<br />
Cut Chips and Café De Paris Butter’, (which<br />
contained over 30 different ingredients),<br />

looked incredible. Sadly, I didn’t get to try<br />
any (thanks Lois), but she did allow me to<br />
try a couple of her Hand Cut Chips, and if<br />
they were anything to go by, I am sure the<br />
rest was amazing.<br />
On to the finale, dessert! You will find a<br />
good selection including English classics like<br />
bread and butter to lighter alternatives.<br />
On this occasion ‘lighter’ seemed like the<br />
best way forward.<br />
Lois opted for the ‘Lime & Ginger<br />
Cheesecake with Lemon Tuille and Ginger<br />
Puree’, whilst I headed out of my usual<br />
‘chocolate comfort zone’ and chose<br />
‘Pineapple Carpaccio served with Coconut<br />
Ice Cream,’ garnished with mint, lime and<br />
chilli. It was perfectly sharp and although<br />
I must confess, I am not usually a mint lover,<br />
this daring twist made the dish very refreshing<br />
indeed.<br />
An Espresso Martini topped of the evening<br />
and after a quick tour of the five refurbished<br />
bedrooms, it was closing time. We really<br />
enjoyed our experience at Sutherland House<br />
and as locals ourselves; we will be heading back<br />
very soon”.<br />

The Wines<br />
of Sicily<br />
Sicily is the largest of the Mediterranean Islands and is at the<br />
southern end of Italy. It has earned the reputation of producing fine<br />
fortified wine called Marsala.<br />
success with the British and the British Navy under<br />
Nelson used much of it.<br />
BY ‘WINE BUFF’ FRED FISHER<br />
For nearly 3000 years wine has been produced<br />
here starting with the Greeks who settled in the<br />
8th Century BC. The Phoenicians and the Romans<br />
traded with Sicilian wine and lent their knowledge<br />
and expertise to promoting the area. According to<br />
legend Dionysus (AKA Bacchus) was the God of<br />
wine who brought pleasure to mankind and wine<br />
to Sicily.<br />
The next important date is 1773 when John<br />
Woodhouse started producing Marsala, rather<br />
similar to sherry using alcohol to fortify it. It was a<br />
The last 20 years or so has seen changes to the<br />
Island’s culture with the production of fine wine.<br />
The climate is typical Mediterranean, warm sunny<br />
and hot. It is dominated by a large active Volcano,<br />
so the soil is certainly volcanic giving rise to a<br />
range of flavours.<br />
DOC Wine Areas<br />
There are 23 DOC zones in Sicily and 1 DOCG.<br />
This category is similar to the French AOC and<br />
controls the quality of grapes produced.<br />
These are mostly on the mainland except<br />
Pantelleria, an island remote from the mainland<br />

Grapes<br />
Sicily is unique in that it has its’ own abundance<br />
of indigenous grape varieties which have proven<br />
so successful with the climate and soils present.<br />
Wines are either ‘In Purezza’ where a single grape<br />
variety is used or blended using several grapes.<br />
The main ones used are:-<br />
Red Wines<br />
Nero D’Avola - One of the oldest indigenous<br />
grapes. Aromas of cherry, strawberry, and cocoa.<br />
Full bodied, good acidity and tannin and great<br />
with meat dishes<br />
Syrah - A classic grape from France which<br />
is particularly suited to the climate<br />
and soil of Sicily. Full bodied and<br />
tannic, good with meat dishes<br />
and cheese.<br />
Etna Rosso - A blend of two<br />
varieties of Nerello grapes,<br />
suited to the soils of Mount<br />
Etna.<br />
Cerasuelo di Vittoria - A Blend of<br />
Frappato and Nero D’Avola with some<br />
Grossonero and Nerello grapes. Famous<br />
wine from the Ragusa district<br />
White Wines<br />
Bianco D’Alcamo - Using the Cataratto, Greciano,<br />
Damaschino and Trebbiano grapes comes from<br />
between Alcamo and Trapani areas.<br />
Wines made from Grillo, Inzolia, Cataratto,<br />
Greciano and Chardonnay are produced ‘in<br />
purezza’ or can be blended together. Can be<br />
exceptionally good. Great with most light dishes<br />
like seafood and fish or white meat.<br />
Note:- It is hard to describe each grape as they<br />
are often, as is said, blended. Best to look at the<br />
back label on a bottle see their descriptions, if<br />
any. If no description there is a risk it is of low<br />
quality.<br />
Dessert wines<br />
The very warm climate lends itself to very ripe<br />
grapes and thus lots of sugar. The drying qualities<br />
of the sun also lends itself to the production<br />
of dessert wines. Some of these are of historic<br />
importance and are:-<br />
Marsala - A famous fortified wine first<br />
produced by John Woodhouse, an<br />
Englishman, in 1773. It is a blend<br />
of Grillo, Cataratto, Ansonia and<br />
Damaschino. Distilled alcohol is<br />
added to produce the fortified wine.<br />
Although it is famous as a Sweet<br />
wine it is also made as dry and medium<br />
wines. Being a fortified wine it was suitable<br />
to export to the US in the 18th Century as the<br />
high alcohol (19%) preserves the wine during<br />
the long journey by sailing ship. It was extremely<br />
popular with the Royal Navy and Admiral Nelson<br />
himself ordered it. After the Battle of Trafalgar it<br />
was known as ‘Victory Wine’<br />
Passito di Pantelleria - Made from the Zibbibo<br />
grape which have been dried in the sun, thus<br />
concentrating the sugar. It is a small island south<br />
of Sicily.<br />
Conclusions...<br />
Its use of many indigenous but virtually unknown grapes leads to Sicily providing a voyage of<br />
discovery of new wines. You will find a range of wines to suit most tastes of Marsala, which is used a<br />
lot in cooking, particularly Zabaglione, it is worth trying the range from dry to sweet.<br />

INDIVIDUAL<br />
& FUNKY<br />
BEDROOMS<br />
The 16th <strong>May</strong> 2007 was the date that was to<br />
change the fortunes of the run down and loss<br />
making Bull Inn at Barton Mills.<br />
Newcomers to the industry Cheryl Hickman and<br />
Wayne Starling took the “bull by the horns” and<br />
haven’t looked back since. Non believers said to<br />
the couple at the beginning “you don’t know what<br />
you are doing” – this one comment from a cynical<br />
and jealous local is what spurred this young,<br />
dynamic and focused couple onto success.<br />
couldn’t carry on doing the 7am to sometimes<br />
3am / 4am in the morning!! These shifts were<br />
7 days a week and they could see this would be<br />
a potential problem to the business becoming<br />
successful, so Sonia (Cheryl’s sister) joined the<br />
team full time making the Inn a real family affair.<br />
This also allowed Cheryl and Wayne the small<br />

HOTEL<br />

SUFFOL<br />
When Cheryl & Wayne took the Bull Inn over<br />
the business was losing £100,000’s a year and it<br />
was everything you would imagine from a failing<br />
unloved roadside inn. To top it all off they took on<br />
the Inn in the very midst of a recession in the UK<br />
and pubs were closing left right and center due<br />
to this and of course the imminent implentation<br />
of the smoking ban in July 2007. EVERYTHING<br />
was staked up against this young and some would<br />
say bonkers couple! But against all odds they<br />
have transformed the unloved and failing business<br />
into an award winning modern yet historically<br />
sympathetic and hugely funky coaching inn.<br />
After the initial 6 months Cheryl and Wayne<br />
respite of a couple of nights a week off to enable<br />
them to remain upbeat and focused about the<br />
journey they were on. Those early days were hard<br />
both physically and emotionally.<br />
It’s now a destination Inn and the place that friends<br />
meet for lunch, families come for breakfast and<br />
business people stay over for something a bit<br />
different to your normal accommodation and of<br />
course locals and strangers alike can eat, drink<br />
and enjoy the amazing pub and AA rosette dining<br />
rooms.<br />

The couple have led the team and the business<br />
to win many awards over the years and have<br />
maintained their AA rosette. One of the best<br />
awards achieved is the “Funkiest Inn in the UK” as<br />
voted by the anonymous AA inspectors.<br />
Cheryl Hickman – “We had a strong vision of what<br />
we wanted The Bull to be and we have stayed true<br />
to that vision. We are now a multi award winning<br />
business with our feet firmly on the ground and<br />
supporting our local community”<br />

Nothing beats swimming<br />
outdoors, so why not visit<br />
Beccles Lido, the heated<br />
open-air swimming pool in<br />
Beccles, which re-opens for<br />
the <strong>2017</strong> summer season on<br />
27th <strong>May</strong>.<br />
Since taking over from the<br />
Council in 2010, the site has<br />
been transformed and is now a<br />
top Waveney attraction, winning<br />
many awards and a Trip Advisor<br />
Certificate of Excellence in 2014,<br />
2015 and 2016.<br />
The Lido has a slide, springboard,<br />
giant inflatable aquarun (daily<br />
lunchtime sessions), outdoor<br />
exercise equipment and a kiddies<br />
adventure play area. There are lots<br />
of grassy areas, sunloungers, tables<br />
and chairs to relax on as well as<br />
an all-weather eating and<br />
spectating area.<br />
By the River Waveney,<br />
the Lido enjoys stunning<br />
views across the river<br />
and the Waveney valley and its café serves hot and cold<br />
snacks, drinks and ices. With lane swimming until 10am<br />
and most lunchtimes and evenings, Beccles Lido is perfect<br />
for a swim or family day out. Canoe Hire is also offered<br />
(advance bookings only). Parking at the Lido is limited but<br />
there are numerous car parks nearby, or why not travel by<br />
bus or train for discounted entry! Find out more at<br />
www.beccleslido.com or call 01502 713297.<br />
Or if you prefer a lazy day, why not take a trip on Big<br />
Dog Ferry, which runs passenger boat trips regularly<br />
between Beccles Lido and Geldeston Locks Inn. It is a<br />
relaxing 3 mile boat journey along the River Waveney with<br />
the opportunity to enjoy the wildlife en-route – otters,<br />
kingfishers and marsh harriers are all regular sights along<br />
the river. Disembark and enjoy a meal, a drink or music at<br />
The Locks Inn or stay on board for a round trip. If you’re<br />
feeling energetic you could take a one-way ticket and walk<br />
back on delightful footpaths - why not visit Maisebrooke<br />
Farm in Shipmeadow? Big Dog can also stop at the<br />
Marina or Three Rivers Campsite at Geldeston, which has<br />
attractions including the Wherry Inn and Mandy’s famous<br />
pickles! Find out more at www.bigdogferry.co.uk or call<br />
07532 072761.<br />
Beccles Lido has been voted one of the 50 best things to do in Suffolk!<br />

MAY <strong>2017</strong> | ISSUE #55<br />
NEW ALBUM RELEASED<br />
Alternative pop experts Maximo Park release their sixth studio album,<br />
‘Risk To Exist’, available on Daylighting/Cooking Vinyl.<br />
‘Risk To Exist’ sees Maximo Park on blistering<br />
form, bringing together their trademark<br />
hook-laden melodies and sense of urgency<br />
with off-kilter rock, soulful grooves and pop<br />
sensibilities. Informed by the dire state of<br />
world affairs in 2016 and crumbling political<br />
systems, their latest body of work is a vital<br />
record for our times.<br />
Kinetic title track and lead<br />
single ‘Risk To Exist’ is a<br />
barbed introduction to<br />
the album, three and a<br />
half minutes of indie punk<br />
perfection crafted around<br />
rolling snare drums, a<br />
towering chorus and a<br />
central plea for humanity<br />
and solicitude. Inspired<br />
by the West’s response<br />
to the migrant crisis, the<br />
sneering, superior attitude of wellbred<br />
Tories, and the small, but meaningful<br />
gestures of love that reaffirm what is good<br />
in this world, it is a cry for compassion, and<br />
simply frames the precariousness of life in<br />
its refrain - ‘Throw your arms around me, I’ve<br />
come too far and the ocean’s deep”.<br />
Frontman Paul Smith says: ‘The album is,<br />
ultimately, about empathy. Some songs are<br />
simple messages of solidarity and others are<br />
fuelled by anger at the elitist, established<br />
order of British society. There’s a questioning<br />
of power throughout and a feeling that<br />
there must be a different way of structuring<br />
our society in order to alleviate inequality.<br />
Musically, the songs reflect more soulful<br />
and groove-based influences, allowing more<br />
space in the arrangements than ever before.<br />
The central idea is to align great pop melodies<br />
with songs that reflect the state of the<br />
nation.”<br />
These are pop songs<br />
that talk about big issues<br />
without talking down to the<br />
listener; an album where the<br />
political is also the personal.<br />
‘Risk To Exist’ was recorded<br />
completely live, the<br />
recording represents another<br />
bold stylistic step for the<br />
band after 2014’s Top 10 ‘Too<br />
Much Information’. Maximo<br />
Park have also enlisted Mimi<br />
Parker from acclaimed US band Low for<br />
the record, whose voice lends its inimitable<br />
warmth to five album tracks, including lead<br />
single ‘Risk To Exist’.<br />
With 1,500,000 albums and four UK Top 10<br />
albums under their belt to date, Maximo Park<br />
have once again shifted seamlessly into a<br />
higher gear. They have expertly crafted an<br />
infectious pop album for our time, confronting<br />
the crucial issues track by track, one<br />
monstrous hook at a time.<br />
Maximo Park are Paul Smith (vocals), Duncan Lloyd (guitar), Lukas Wooller (keyboards)<br />
and Tom English (drums). For more information go to www.maximopark.com<br />

The Huntingfield<br />
EASTER PANTO...<br />
Back in September 2016, a vision<br />
came to the folk of Huntingfield.<br />
Brought to life by resident<br />
Stephen Harrison, the tale of the<br />
Sausagerous was born.<br />
As you may be aware, most Pantomimes<br />
happen around Christmas time, but we don’t<br />
like to be too traditional in Huntingfield and<br />
felt a few months practice was pushing it, so<br />
we announced an Easter date instead.<br />
Much better!<br />
Word spread, and more people from the<br />
village, (and surrounding villages,) started<br />
to participate. Scripts were formed, Vikings<br />
were born and the star of the show, Arthur<br />
Freen was selected. She also happened to be<br />
Stephen’s daughter Olivia, who knew the story<br />
long before anyone else, which seemed more<br />
than fitting.<br />
Oh and did I mention what my partner Sam<br />
and I ended up playing? Can you guess? Yes…<br />
we were the Sausagerous monster, a make<br />
believe creature with two heads and a slinky<br />
body. It took a bit of practice walking under<br />
bucket made faces and a hula-hoop body<br />
covered in sailcloth, but luckily no falls!<br />
Week after week, rehearsal after rehearsal,<br />
we were almost ready. Winter came and went<br />
and as spring sprung, 74 tickets were booked.<br />
There was no going back.<br />
The performance took place at The Hub in<br />
Huntingfield on Saturday 8th April. It was a<br />
really successful event and I think I can speak<br />
74
MAY <strong>2017</strong> MAY | <strong>2017</strong> ISSUE | ISSUE #55 | #55 LIFESTYLE<br />
for everyone when I say too much fun was had in the<br />
making. A big thank you to everyone who attended, to<br />
the cast including; the terrifying Vikings, Brian, Ken and<br />
Stephen, the villagers - Linda, Joan, Nigel, Sue, Marie<br />
and Frances, Arthur Freen played by Olivia, Rose her<br />
friend who stole the show by also helping to announce<br />
the scenes, and David, Helen, Liz, Margaret, Sue B and<br />
Stephen who made a great job of lighting, prompting,<br />
costumes, staging and narrating.<br />
For more information contact<br />
see www.huntingfield.org<br />
It is when communities come together that you realise<br />
what teamwork and friendship is all about.<br />
Sadly, this will be our last month living in Huntingfield<br />
as we venture on to pastures new, but to all the friends<br />
we have made, we’d like to say a big thank you for<br />
making us part of the village and the Panto<br />
of course!<br />

Don’t be frightened of your staff<br />
For employers an employee or former employee<br />
bringing a claim against them in the employment<br />
tribunal is a problem best avoided.<br />
The costs involved in dealing with such disputes, both in<br />
terms of financial burden and management time, can escalate<br />
quickly taking valuable resources away from the day<br />
to day running of the business. So is there anything that an<br />
employer can do to avoid such claims being made against<br />
them?<br />
Of course there are steps which can be taken to minimise<br />
the risk. Ensuring you have good management procedures<br />
in place will help, as will providing your employees with<br />
Contracts of Employment and having an Employee Handbook<br />
which is easily accessible to employees. It will<br />
depend on the size of your organisation and the type of<br />
business you operate as to what areas those policies and<br />
procedures contained in the Employee Handbook will<br />
cover but, at the very least, you should ensure that<br />
grievance and disciplinary procedures are clearly set out<br />
and are in line with the ACAS Code of Conduct. An Equal<br />
Opportunities Policy coupled with relevant training is also<br />
important to minimise the risk of discrimination claims.<br />
When problems do arise, ensure that you follow your own<br />
policies and procedures and make sure that any meetings<br />
are documented. If your employee later brings a claim<br />
against your organisation those notes, taken at the time,<br />
will be invaluable as evidence.<br />
80<br />
www.rudlings-wakelam.com<br />
The reality is that you can never be sure that an employee<br />
will not make a claim, however with the requirement that all<br />
claimants make an Early Conciliation Notification to ACAS<br />
prior to their claim being accepted by the Employment Tribunal<br />
an employer ought to have advance notice that a claim<br />
may be issued and should therefore have an opportunity to<br />
consider their position and whether defending that claim or<br />
settling it is more appropriate at that stage.<br />
Once ACAS issue a certificate confirming that the Early Conciliation<br />
requirements have been met then the Claimant may<br />
issue proceedings in the Employment Tribunal.<br />
It is important that employers seek advice from an<br />
experienced solicitor at the earliest opportunity when faced<br />
with a potential claim by an employee. In order to minimise<br />
the risk of future claims, and to ensure you are best placed<br />
to deal with them if they do arise, it is prudent to have an<br />
experienced solicitor review your employment contracts and<br />
existing policies and procedures on a regular basis to ensure<br />
they comply with current law.<br />

ALL ABOUT HAIR<br />
Hair Extensions<br />
Our hair and make-up expert, Kirsty Woolnough,<br />
shares her thoughts about hair extensions and what is<br />
best for your hair...<br />
The choppy bob and pixie crop<br />
cuts come in and out of fashion,<br />
however, long bouncy ‘Beyoncé’<br />
waves seem to continue to be a<br />
timeless and favorable style.<br />
For some of you, including<br />
myself, we simplly cannot achieve<br />
this look without a little help. The<br />
answer... hair extensions!<br />
Whether you want long luscious locks, thicker, fuller, more<br />
volumous hair, or you simply want to temporarily add some<br />
length to an up-do for a special occasion like a wedding,<br />
there are many options to choose from.<br />
In the last decade hair extensions have come along way<br />
so you can now have hair fitted knowing it’s 100% human<br />
hair and ethically sourced. It’s achievable to add length or<br />
volume to your hair without using any form of glue within a<br />
couple of hours causing no damage to your natural hair.<br />

HAIR & BEAUTY<br />
MAY <strong>2017</strong> MAY | ISSUE <strong>2017</strong> | #55 ISSUE | HAIR #55 & BEAUTY<br />
A few methods used by professional<br />
technicians currently are:<br />
WEFTS-COMMONLY KNOWN AS WEAVE…<br />
Stylists braid your natural hair to create a base<br />
and sew the weft into the braid using a needle<br />
and thread.<br />
I TIP/MICRO-LOOP…<br />
The hair is pulled through a bead or a tube<br />
and clamped shut.<br />
TAPE IN-ALSO KNOWN AS SKIN WEFT…<br />
Where hair is applied using either double or<br />
single sided tape.<br />
UTIP…<br />
A keratin utip bond attached to hair using a<br />
heat element.<br />
NANO…<br />
The hair is pulled through a tiny silicone lined<br />
bead and clamped shut.<br />
My personal and preferred method in which I<br />
offer to clients, is Nano bead hair extensions.<br />
It’s very hard to find any fault with this<br />
method, but when considering to have Nano’s<br />
fitted, you need to do your research and have<br />
a consultation.<br />
ABOUT NANO’S…<br />
The most obvious positive is that they are<br />
very small in size. Almost 90% smaller than<br />
micro rings. The silicone lined nanobead holds<br />
the correct amount of natural hair placed<br />
within the silicone ring and is clamped shut.<br />
The silicone protects your hair from damage<br />
and the beads are very secure.<br />
I prefer them because they are very<br />
discreet and when placed correctly they are<br />
completely undetectable when hair is up or<br />
down. Nano’s are one of very few methods<br />
that suit most hair types especially fine hair.<br />
INSTALLATION...<br />
As long as you’re using a fully insured<br />
professional for fitting your hair then<br />
rest assured that they will be applied<br />
safely, securely, neatly and discreetly. You<br />
should receive all after care advice and a<br />
maintenance service.<br />
MAINTENANCE...<br />
The only thing you do need to<br />
fully consider is how to maintain<br />
them. Every 6-8 weeks you<br />
should be prepared to visit<br />
your professional for a<br />
refitting.<br />

SUMMER HAIR &<br />
BEAUTY HACKS<br />
Fixing botched fake tan with baking<br />
soda, using potatoes for home<br />
pedicure and washing in tomato juice<br />
to cure chlorinated hair are just some<br />
of the summer tips and tricks you<br />
NEED to know...<br />
Luckily these 10 amazing hacks will help you find<br />
both affordable and easy remedies to save your<br />
skin and hair. Trust us, you’ll be thanking us for<br />
these ones.<br />
1. FIX FAKE TAN WITH BAKING SODA...<br />
If you’re staying away from the sunshine this<br />
summer and opting for a false glow instead, fix<br />
any fake tan botches with baking soda. Simply<br />
apply some baking soda on a loofah with warm<br />
water, and exfoliate to get rid of any patchiness.<br />
2. USE A POTATO TO PEDICURE...<br />
Get your feet flip-flop ready by giving yourself a<br />
home pedicure. To exfoliate the skin, cut a potato<br />

in half and coat in sea salt. Then, begin by rubbing<br />
along the bottom and sides of your feet for an<br />
instant exfoliator.<br />
3. PREVENT HAIR FROM FADING...<br />
Sun and salt water may be great for our skin and<br />
hair, but if your hair is coloured, it can encourage<br />
fading. Half a cup of apple cider vinegar is a great<br />
natural remedy to help brighten up your locks.<br />
Simply add the vinegar to a spritz bottle and<br />
spray all over the hair before leaving it in for about<br />
10 minutes, then rinse out.<br />
4. MAKE COCONUT OIL YOUR NEW BFF...<br />
Coconut oil is a multi purpose product that is<br />
great to use as moisturiser, conditioner, serum<br />
and cuticle oil. Pack into a small travel bottle and<br />
take away with you on holiday to keep your skin<br />
hydrated.<br />
5. USE TOMATO JUICE TO KEEP BLONDE<br />
HAIR BRIGHT...<br />
Chlorine can certainly damage your hair, especially<br />
if you’re blonde or have highlights. It can also add<br />
an awful greenish tinge. To protect your colour,<br />
coat your hair in leave-in conditioner or sesame oil<br />
before swimming. Always remember to rinse your<br />
hair after getting out the pool and wash in cold<br />
water to boost shine. For a post-swim remedy,<br />
coat your hair and your scalp in tomato juice for<br />
5-10 minutes before washing with shampoo and<br />
conditioner. This will help fade the greenish hue if<br />
you have one.<br />
skin and it will help your skin heal.<br />
8. USE DEODORANT TO SWEAT-PROOF<br />
YOUR HAIR...<br />
Besides being a necessity for your underarms,<br />
a swipe or spritz of deodorant on the back of<br />
your neck will keep you feeling cool in high<br />
temperatures, as well as preventing hair from<br />
sticking to the skin.<br />
9. MAKE YOUR EYE SHADOWS SUITCASE-<br />
FRIENDLY...<br />
Place a cotton pad in-between your blush<br />
and bronzer compacts to prevent them from<br />
shattering in your suitcase. Your expensive beauty<br />
products will thank you for this hack.<br />
10. GET YOURSELF SOME BABY POWDER...<br />
Baby powder isn’t just for little ones; it can be<br />
used as a cheaper alternative to dry shampoo<br />
and can also remove wet sand from the skin,<br />
making it perfect to stash away in your beach<br />
bag.<br />
For bookings or advice call<br />
Cabello on 01986 875007 or pop<br />
in and see us at 3 London Road,<br />
Halesworth, IP19 8LH.<br />
6. PUT YOUR NAIL POLISHES IN THE<br />
FRIDGE...<br />
High temperatures can cause nail polish to turn<br />
thick and gloopy. Keeping it in a cool place like the<br />
fridge can extend your nail varnishes shelf life and<br />
make it smooth and easy to apply.<br />
7. MAKE ALOE VERA ICE CUBES TO TREAT<br />
SUNBURN...<br />
If you get too much sun, freeze Aloe Vera into ice<br />
cube trays. This will feel amazing on your burnt<br />

REVITALISE YOUR SKIN<br />
This summer...<br />
With GLAMGLOW Youthmud Tinglexfoliate Treatment.<br />
A week ago GLAMGLOW sent me<br />
their Youthmud Tinglexfoliate<br />
Treatment; I could not wait for<br />
it to arrive in the post as I had<br />
read so much about this product<br />
online and wanted to share my<br />
excitement with you all.<br />
GLAMGLOW was set up in 2010, exclusively<br />
for backstage and professional use in<br />
Hollywood’s Entertainment, Music, Fashion<br />
and Award Industries, then in 2011 it was made<br />
available for everyone to purchase.<br />
You are probably thinking, why has<br />
GLAMGLOW taken the world by storm?<br />
Well the main ingredients in the GLAMGLOW<br />
mask are Volcanic Rock, French Sea Clay<br />
and Active Green Tea Leaf and this magical<br />
combination is said to:<br />
• Leave skin noticeably radiant and glowing<br />
• Activates collagen synthesis<br />
• Provides gentle exfoliation<br />
• Helps leave skin smoother, brighter and<br />
softer<br />

• Tightens and tones skin and pores<br />
• Helps provide a more youthful appearance<br />
• Absorbs impurities without removing natural<br />
oils<br />
• Helps protect against free radical damage<br />
GLAMGLOW mudmask is said to leave the<br />
skin noticeably radiant and glowing.<br />
The Youthmud Tinglexfoliate Treatment is a 10<br />
minute professional quality mud mask for men<br />
and women.<br />
It works with the body’s natural collagen<br />
providing a gentle exfoliation, leaving the skin<br />
smoother, brighter and softer.<br />
Skin texture and pores become tighter, giving<br />
the skin a more youthful appearance.<br />
So I know what you are all thinking, does this<br />
product deliver what it states?<br />
The answer is YES, this product is amazing!<br />
My skin felt noticeable smoother and<br />
tighter and this was only after 1 application,<br />
GLAMGLOW recommends using this<br />
product twice a week or as often as<br />
desired, so I will most definitely be<br />
stocking up!<br />

SUMMER IS ON IT’S WAY<br />
BY KATE LINES<br />
Kates Top Tip for <strong>May</strong>: Plant out<br />
cannas and dahlias<br />
As bulbs fade and herbaceous<br />
borders grow in leaps and bounds,<br />
it is now clear that summer is<br />
approaching.<br />
Sowing and planting out bedding can begin,<br />
depending on regional weather variations, and you<br />
can take softwood cuttings.<br />
It’s also time to get back into the lawn mowing<br />
regime, as the lawn will be loving the warmer<br />
temperatures this month brings.<br />
Flowers<br />
Tubs can be planted up with<br />
summer bedding in milder areas.<br />
In colder areas further north or at<br />
high altitudes, it is advised to wait until<br />
early June, or until all risk of frost has passed.<br />
Divide clumps of herbaceous perennials that you<br />
want to propagate.<br />
Bamboos and clumps of bulbs or rhizomes can be<br />
divided in the same way. Cutting back clumps of<br />
spring-flowering perennials such as Pulmonaria and<br />
Doronicum can encourage a fresh flush of foliage.<br />

GARDEN<br />
CENTRE<br />
anyone?<br />
Now my quick-fire response<br />
to this question would most<br />
certainly, normally, be a no.<br />
BY RUBY REED<br />
I am far from green<br />
fingered.<br />
But when Mum and Nan invited<br />
me along to their annual visit, I<br />
thought I’d take them up on this<br />
VIP invite and see what I<br />
was missing.<br />
everything else? The ‘garden centre’ housed a lot of<br />
different departments and I soon realised lots of people<br />
were here for a leisurely wander- not just a replacement<br />
wheelbarrow.<br />
We worked our way through home furnishings, stationery,<br />
cards, novelty gifts, clothing, sculptures, home foods,<br />
plants and various other areas. Don’t get me started on the<br />
pet’s corner!<br />
Scotsdales Garden Centre in<br />
Cambridge was our destination.<br />
I was unsure at how we were<br />
going to spend the majority of<br />
the day here but I soon found out<br />
there can be more to a garden<br />
centre than gardening…<br />
A little while in I realised I had lost track of Mum and Nan.<br />
We were all being distracted by our different interests. Nan<br />
was off searching for greeting cards and Mum decorative<br />
end tables. I myself had built up a bit of a wish list too<br />
including; a cacti plant (it pricked me but I still wanted it),<br />
a selection of chocolate and fudge, a sculpture, a scarf<br />
holder and most importantly a dwarf rabbit.<br />
Sure, there was a gardening<br />
section! But what about<br />
Before any purchase decisions were made we regrouped<br />
for lunch in the café. And it was busy! We got our table<br />
102
HOME & GARDEN<br />
MAY <strong>2017</strong> MAY | ISSUE <strong>2017</strong> #55 | ISSUE | HOME #55 & GARDEN<br />
just before 1pm and there was<br />
plenty of atmosphere even on<br />
a weekday.<br />
Weekends are very popular<br />
according to the waiter!<br />
There was a good selection<br />
for lunch, and all the food<br />
being placed on the tables<br />
around us looked tempting.<br />
Mum and Nan went for their<br />
traditional quiche and I opted<br />
for the prawn jacket potato-<br />
I’d have it again.<br />
Over lunch, as well as having a<br />
lovely catch up, we all decided<br />
what we would be leaving<br />
with.<br />
So after the energy boost we<br />
set off to fill the baskets.<br />
Mum and Nan left with two tables, bird<br />
feeders and countless plants.<br />
I selected two items from my wish list- the<br />
cacti and chocolates.<br />
Well who’d have thought it, an afternoon out<br />
at the garden centre?<br />
Especially if they’re all equipped with cafes<br />
and pet corners! Although I did leave with a<br />
new-found desire to decorate the garden…<br />
This must count as a mums always right<br />
moment- and nan too! Except next time I’m<br />
leaving with the rabbit.<br />
Visit yours and see what you come back with-<br />
It’s the perfect time of year to bring out your<br />
summer mood! Time for a BBQ?<br />
Follow me on Twitter @rubyslifestyle.<br />
From now on you can count me in. I guess<br />
you don’t have to love gardening to visit a<br />
gardening centre.<br />

SPORT<br />
often keeping out opponents almost singlehandedly.<br />
My biggest fear this summer is losing<br />
our ‘Pole in goal’ – even though the comments<br />
above, from Mick McCarthy, once again diverted<br />
the headlines back to the man in the hotseat.<br />
I WON’T WALK AWAY SAYS<br />
MCCARTHY BUT WILL TOWN KEEP<br />
HOLD OF THEIR BIG POLE...<br />
“As for some of the stuff about<br />
‘Mick McCarthy you’ve ruined<br />
our club’, that’s the biggest load<br />
of cobblers I have ever heard.<br />
“I saved the club from<br />
relegation and I have had<br />
three top-10 finishes.<br />
The one time I have a<br />
bad season then people<br />
have turned their backs<br />
on me which is a bit<br />
of a surprise and it’s<br />
disappointing.<br />
“But hey-ho, I am not<br />
walking away. I have a<br />
year’s contract to run<br />
and unless something else is done, no, I am<br />
not going, no way.”<br />
I had every intention of waxing lyrical this<br />
month about Bartosz Bialkowski.<br />
It’s player of the year time at Portman<br />
Road and beyond and while 2016/17<br />
will probably only be ‘memorable’ for<br />
being the club’s worst in over years, not<br />
everything about the campaign should be<br />
forgettable.<br />
Tom Lawrence had a purely magical<br />
midway spell where virtually everything he<br />
touched turned to goals, but Bialkowski<br />
gets my nod, for pure consistency and<br />
It seemed certain that McCarthy’s impressive<br />
reign in Suffolk was coming to an end. Forget<br />
the last few months, overall Mick has done an<br />
amazing job on a budget where ‘shoestring’<br />
barely does it justice. That said, for many<br />
months, my opinion has been its time for a<br />
change but clearly that also depends on the<br />
direction owner Marcus Evans is taking us.<br />
Could anyone do better on such little financial<br />
backing? I’m not so sure. Could another<br />
manager at least play a more attractive brand of<br />
football? I think so.<br />
If Mick is to stay, and I can’t see<br />
him getting sacked, then Evans<br />
needs to start truly backing his<br />
man. The relationship between<br />
McCarthy and Evans has shown<br />
a few understandable cracks of<br />
late, but surely there has to be<br />
serious summer talks over the<br />
direction of the club.<br />
Ipswich will start next season with<br />
a few thousand less season ticket holders, but<br />
something has to be done to start bringing back<br />
some of the fans.<br />
Style of football has to be almost as important<br />
as points on the board. Fans don’t expect to win<br />
the league, but they do expect to see an attempt<br />
of an ‘Ipswich way’ of playing – something I<br />
don’t think is too much to ask.<br />
McCarthy’s recent talk of a top-six push next<br />
season is fantastical without some investment in<br />
the playing staff in what will be one of the most<br />
intriguing summers at IP1 for many a year.<br />
The spotlight will remain on the manager and<br />
also the future of captain Luke Chambers and<br />
Christophe Berra.<br />

KNOW YOUR ARNIS<br />
FROM YOUR ELBOW!<br />
BY ROSS “ACTION MAN” WISHART<br />
This month I joined maestro<br />
Eric Amada at the Stowupland<br />
sports centre for a lesson in the<br />
martial art and national sport of<br />
the Philippines, Modern Arnis.<br />
In its current guise the sport is relatively<br />
young having been founded in the 1960s<br />
by Remy Presas, Modern Arnis (also known<br />
as Kali and Eskrima) includes hand-to-hand<br />
combat, joint locks, grappling and couples<br />
them to the centuries old Filipino Martial Art<br />
style which incorporates weapons such as<br />
sticks and blades.<br />
Whilst you may not have heard about it the<br />
sport is as popular as karate and judo. It’s<br />
addition of weapons and a fluid counter<br />
attacking style generates a very attractive art<br />
to watch and to practice.<br />
In fact you’ve probably already watched<br />
Arnis without even knowing it, Hollywood<br />
movie stables Taken, Bourne and the latest<br />
Bond flicks all include an element of Arnis in<br />
their fight choreography as does hit Netflix<br />
series Daredevil, in which case keep your eyes<br />
peeled for Action Man: The Movie!<br />
I joined the group at their regular training<br />
session on Tuesday evenings 7:00 - 8:30 at<br />
Stowupland Sports Centre (Church Rd, IP14<br />
4BQ) whilst I have participated in a number<br />
of different marital arts now the styles and<br />
techniques are all slightly different, which<br />
112

MAY <strong>2017</strong> | ISSUE #55<br />
SPORT<br />
makes Arnis not only great for total novices<br />
but also those looking to add to their martial<br />
art repertoire.<br />
Following our warm up, it was time to pick up<br />
our sticks, the most common Arnis weapon,<br />
first we learned striking, then we studied<br />
defending and then moved on to combining<br />
the two and it wasn’t long before I was able<br />
to string together an effective and thrilling<br />
sequence. Granted, at a more subtle pace<br />
than the more experienced group but after<br />
just one lesson I was very happy and proud of<br />
how much I had picked up through my first 90<br />
minute class under the excellent guidance of<br />
Maestro Eric Amada an executive member of<br />
the national body BCKEAI.<br />
I appreciate that it can be difficult when<br />
starting a new sport to catch up amongst a<br />
vastly more experienced group however now<br />
is the perfect opportunity.<br />
Modern Arnis UK have a special beginners<br />
course starting on Tuesday <strong>May</strong> 2nd and<br />
running for 4 weeks.<br />
Are you looking to try something new?<br />
Then get in touch via www.modernarnis.<br />
uk or search for Modern Arnis UK on<br />
Facebook, details of the beginners courses<br />
is also shared on my Facebook page (search:<br />

Action Man says: it’s not one to<br />
miss, get on down to Arnis!<br />

TOP TIPS FOR MOVING HOME WITH PETS...<br />
Well you may have guest it, I am<br />
moving… again!<br />
This will be my 4th move of home to date… but<br />
it’s not me I’m worried about! As you know ‘the<br />
kittens’ and I have become good pals of late, but<br />
whilst I will move wherever I am told, moving<br />
home for cats can be a little more complicated!<br />
So after researching some top tips to keep them<br />
safe, I thought I’d share them. Uff!<br />
Safety first...<br />
Early on the day of the move, put your cats in<br />
one room with all doors and windows closed so<br />
that you know that your cat is safe and can be<br />
found when it is time to go. Feed your them in<br />
the morning but not too close to moving time in<br />
case of illness during the journey, ewww! Keep<br />
your cat in a basket or carry cage on arrival<br />
until one room in the new house is available to<br />
become a ‘safe area’ for your cat. Familiar items<br />
such as a bed, scratching post and toys should<br />
be placed here as well as a litter tray, food and<br />
water bowls.<br />
rubbing it gently around your cats face to pick<br />
up their ’personal scent profile’. Dab this around<br />
at animal height in the room(s) where they will<br />
be kept at first so that the cat begins to feel at<br />
home and bonds with the territory.<br />
When to let your cat outside...<br />
It’s important that your cat stays confined to the<br />
house for at least two weeks as this will allow<br />
them time to get used to their new territory.<br />
A few days before you let your cat out, sprinkle<br />
some of their used litter around the perimeter<br />
of your new garden. Make sure your cat has<br />
some form of identification with your name,<br />
address and contact phone number. It is also a<br />
good idea to get your cat microchipped. If they<br />
are already chipped, then remember to contact<br />
the microchip company to update your contact<br />
details.<br />
This is also similar for us doggies, but I’d like to<br />
think I am a bit smarter than cats! Wish us luck!<br />
Keep up to date with my antics on Twitter @<br />
bouncearchie.<br />
Helping them settle in...<br />
Cats like to smell themselves around the house,<br />
obviously none of these smells will be present<br />
in the new house and there will be various alien<br />
smells, which may make the cat feel insecure.<br />
You can help by taking a soft cotton cloth and<br />
