SEPTEMBER 2018 

Every year when we reach September, I 

suddenly see the year flash right before me. 

How are we at the end of summer and talking 

about Christmas already? 

I am determined to draw the season out for 

as long as possible and savour every moment, 

so in this edition there are a few more late 

summer features for you to enjoy. 

Whilst the weather is still on our side why not 

take a trip to Go Ape in Thetford? From forest 

Segways to Treetop Adventures you will have 

a day to remember, read what we thought on 

pages 88 and 89. 

This month, I was thrilled to speak to one of 

my favourite artists, Gabrielle. We caught up 

about her career to date, the reason for her 

eye patch and the launch of her brand new 

album ‘Under My Skin’. 

You can listen to all of our interviews at 

www.youtube.com/bouncemagazineuk. 

Our reviews this month both took place at 

the same location in Saxmundham. We tried 

out the Suffolk Escape Room and then did 

a spot of Glamping at Happy Days, the retro 

vacation park next door, it was my first stay in 

an airstream and I enjoyed every moment of it! 

Find out more on pages 68 to 71. .

I’m not old i’m 

retro 

Check out my new 

look 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 45, a mother and a grandmother. 

It’s been non-stop for me this month! 

I’ve been busy writing my 

‘Pro Age’ interviews over 

on the blog. 

It’s had such a positive 

response from all the 

women I’ve asked. So an 

enormous thank you to 

you all! 

Following on form last 

months article, I’m giving 

my advice my favourite 

places to visit for the best 

skin and body treatments in 

the local area. 

This month, I visited the wonderful 

Heritage and Wellbeing Centre in Bury 

St Edmunds. 

On the cusp of its 2 nd Birthday, I spoke 

to owners Lisa and Rebecca about how 

they have just been voted the 

No 1 spa on trip advisor in 

Suffolk, as well as having a 5 

Bubble Spa rating - all very 

exciting. 

Situated in serene parkland 

the Spa offers a wide 

range of treatments and 

packages. 

I honestly didn’t want 

to leave. You can 

read about my Pro60 

Dermalogica facial and 

my interview with Lisa 

and Rebecca on the 

blog. My skin felt beyond amazing. 

Back to fashion… I’ve always had a huge 

thing for leopard print. 

Well, since Spice Girl Mel B made it cool

again! I love the fact that you can 

put it with almost any colour and 

it goes! 

Gone are the Bet Lynch 

comparisons. Whether you are 

having a dabble with a belt or a 

pair of shoes, or like me you go 

full on don’t care leopard print. 

My mum, who is an amazing 

seamstress, even covered a bra 

in leopard print fabric for me to 

wear with bell-bottomed trousers 

and a black jacket! (It was the 

90s remember)! I know it’s an 

acquired taste but I love it! Here 

are a few of my favourite 

outfits. 

My most recent purchase was 

again from Javelin Fashion 

situated in the high street in Bury 

St Edmunds. 

My new retro red 

hairstyle! 

It was in the sale for £12! I 

couldn’t leave without it. 

**Don’t forget now is a great 

time to get next year’s summer 

wardrobe as the retailers go into 

their summer sales** 

Lastly, I got fed up with my 

blonde hair so I took the plunge 

and went retro red! 

Thank you to my sister Sophie for 

turning me into a redhead. I am 

so happy with it! 

Whatever you’re doing for the 

rest of the summer… 

I love leopard 

print - here are a few 

of my favourites! 

Stay stylish - Love Zee x

Finding a Wedding Photographer 

BY LISA MARIE SMITH 

Unlike the work of 

your other wedding 

vendors (music, flower 

arrangements, cake), 

photographs aren’t things 

you can hear, smell, taste or 

even see at first—you don’t 

really know what you’re 

getting until after the fact. 

photographer you’ll want shooting your wedding. Do any of the 

following appeal to you? 

Documentary: Instead of a series of posed photos, these are 

candid or spontaneous pictures (read: not styled) of people, 

décor and the action. 

Portraiture: If you prefer classic portraits (think: your parents’ 

wedding album), go with a traditional photographer who 

specializes in portraiture. These are posed shots of the two of 

you, your friends and family in front of various backdrops. 

That means careful research 

and selectiveness regarding 

professional skills, artistic style 

and personal demeanor are extra 

important when choosing your 

photographer. 

STEP 1: SETTLE ON A STYLE 

Before you begin researching 

photographers, you’ll need to first 

decide what type of photography 

style you prefer, as that will 

help determine which kind of 

Fine Art: Though it’s similar to documentary photography, this 

style gives the shooter greater artistic license to infuse their 

particular point of view and style into your photographs. 

Edgy and Bold: This style of photography, an offshoot of fine 

art, is marked by outside-the-box, tilted angles (called Dutch 

angles) and unconventional framing. 

STEP 2: DO YOUR HOMEWORK 

Start your search by reading reviews from recent newlyweds 

and browsing hundreds of local listings. Carefully review 

potential photographers’ websites and blogs to check out 

photos of other weddings they’ve shot, which will give you 

16

WEDDING 


an idea of their style. The design of 

the website may also have clues about 

the photographer’s personality and 

sensibility... but also it may not, so keep 

communicating with your photographer 

to make sure he knows exactly what you 

want. 

STEP 3: SET UP INTERVIEWS 

This is not a decision that can be made 

on looks alone—you must meet your 

potential photographers in person. 

STEP 4: MAKE SURE YOU GET ON 

Don’t underestimate the importance 

of liking and bonding with your 

photographer. Is the photographer 

excited by your vision when you describe 

it? When they make suggestions, do they 

present them in a clear and respectful 

way, or are they timid? 

STEP 5: ASK ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS 

Most contracts stipulate that the 

photographer owns the rights to all 

photos taken at the wedding, even 

the ones of you. In other words, 

the photographer can use them 

promotionally (on their website or blog, 

submit them for publication and even 

place them in ads). Be aware! 

STEP 6: POSTPRODUCTION DETAILS 

It usually takes at least a month to get 

all those photo proofs back from your 

photographer. Why? Your photographer 

is shooting enormous raw files far bigger 

than your typical JPG. Shooting raw files 

gives your photographer greater ability to 

correct the photo, however, they should 

also be using the correct light settings 

initially, so if they are good, it shouldn’t be 

too hard to edit the photos to your liking. 

Until next time...

WEDDING 


with a question: “My friend has just got married, 

can you paint her in her dress?” 

A light bulb went off, just like in a cartoon, and I 

realised my passion could possibly become more 

than just a hobby. This was over 4 years ago now 

and I’ve never looked back. 

Do you put yourself under pressure when 

capturing someone’s image? 

Sometimes it’s hard work being a one-woman 

band. 

and textured paint in a classic style. We speak to 

Helen about her passion for illustrating. 

When did you realise you had a passion for 

weddings? 

I have been borderline obsessed with weddings 

and wedding dresses from quite an early age. 

I used to dress my Barbie’s up for their big day 

at least once a week, conduct ceremonies in the 

school playground and keep an in-depth diary of 

every tiny detail for my own future wedding. 

I knew everything that I wanted, from the length 

of my train to the shade of champagne dress I 

would wear. I have, however, ditched the three 3ft 

diamond-encrusted tiara and first dance to 

S Club 7. 

How did you discover illustration? 

I went to college to study fashion and textiles; I 

became really interested in illustration, doodling 

my trademark little ladies at every opportunity. 

I’d come home at the end of the college day and 

instead of demolishing a packet of crisps and 

putting on ‘Friends’ (like I did in my school days) 

I’d get my water colours back out. I’d been doing 

it all day, but I wasn’t tired of it. I kept going, as 

a hobby, until one day someone approached me 

There have been ups and downs. I’ve had many a 

sleepless night, paint spillage and so much to learn 

that I’ve felt like my brain is too small to cope. 

On the flip-side, I’ve had a double-page spread 

in Vogue, the honour to capture one of the most 

special days in people’s lives and occupy a tiny bit 

of wall space in homes up and down the country. 

What would your younger self say to you 

now? 

I think the 7-year-old Helen, wearing a pillowcase 

as a veil, would be proud!

cavernous roof making the red 

barn an unforgettable venue.

least the 16th century), imbues the space with 

a welcoming atmosphere creating a fabulous 

backdrop to your celebrations.

The fastest 

win inside a 

British ring... 


BY RALPH OATES 

A series of articles which will feature boxing facts 

from both the past to the present... 

On the 24th November 1995 

Sheffield born heavyweight 

Pele Reid made his debut in 

the professional ranks at the 

Bowlers Exhibition Centre 

in Manchester against Gary 

Williams. Reid was expected to 

win and did so easily stopping 

his man in the first round of a 

contest set for four. 

Reid during the course of 1996 

took part in six bouts and won 

them all in fine style winning 

four of his bouts in the opening 

session. Two of the said 

engagements took him to both 

Italy and Germany which was a 

good move since it was getting 

him used to boxing outside of 

the UK. 

On the 28 June 1997 Reid won 

his first championship when 

he met Jamaican born Ricardo 

Kennedy for the vacant World 

Boxing Organisation Inter- 

Continental heavyweight title at 

the Sports Village, in Norwich 

by a stoppage in the opening 

stanza of twelve. This was his 

seventh victory to come in the 

first round in nine fights. 

The Sheffield Arena in 

Yorkshire saw Reid make the 

first defence of the Inter- 

Continental heavyweight title 

on the 11 October 1997 against 

an American in the shape of Eli 

Dixon who lasted until the ninth 

round in a contest schedule 

for twelve before the referee 

stepped in to stop the bout. 

There was now a great deal 

of excitement about Pele who 

looked an exciting prospect a 

man who had the potential to 

create waves in the division and 

hence go a long way. 

In his fourteenth bout he 

was matched with British & 

Commonwealth heavyweight 

champion Julius Francis for the 

titles at the York Hall, Bethnal 

Green in London on the 30 th 

January 1999. Many pundits felt 

that at the end of the evening 

Reid would be crowned the 

new champion. Francis showed 

however that he was not in 

the ring just up to make up 

the numbers and turned in 

an excellent performance to 

retain the titles stopping Reid 

in three rounds of a contest set 

for twelve. 

After the defeat to Francis, Reid 

was never able to recapture 

the magic of old since he won 

seven drew two and lost five 

of his next fourteen bouts. 

Reid took part in his last 

contest on the 7th March 

2009 bowing out with a win 

outpointing David Ingleby 

over ten rounds to capture 

the Vacant British Masters 

Heavyweight title at the New 

Bingley Hall in Birmingham. 

Reid who was born on the 11 

January 1973 may have failed 

to have lived up to the high 

expectations many had of him 

by not winning the British and 

Commonwealth heavyweight 

titles and indeed by not going 

beyond the domestic crown 

to even higher honours like 

the European championship. 

However he can take a degree 

of consolation from a bout 

which had previously taken 

place on the 25th February 

1997. At the Hillsborough 

Leisure Centre in Sheffield 

opponent Michael Murray 

from Lancashire dislocated his 

shoulder in the first round of a 

contest set for eight and thus 

had to retire from the bout due 

to the injury. This gave Reid the 

record of gaining the fastest 

ever win inside a British ring the 

time being nine seconds. 

During his career Reid compiled 

a professional of 20 wins 6

GABRIELLE 

We speak to Gabrielle about her latest album ‘Under My Skin’... 

As soon as you hear The Voice, you know 

it can’t be anyone else. 25 years since her 

debut single Dreams reached No.1 in the UK, 

Gabrielle’s voice remains pure, seductive and 

gloriously unique, one of the most compelling, 

natural voices in British pop history. In a world 

of beats-driven electro-pop and synthesised 

auto-tune, my, how we’ve missed it. 

Under My Skin is a lavishly-produced, classy 

collection of irresistibly sing-along songs, 

collaboratively created with producers and 

writers behind Corrine Bailey Rae, Amy 

Winehouse and Paloma Faith. 

In late July 2018, the single Shine, an 

orchestral pop epic written with production 

super-Swedes Tobias 

Lundgren and Tim 

Larsson, was the No.1 

most-played song 

on Radio 2, its video 

seeing Gabrielle 

in a scarlet gown, 

arms outstretched, 

re-emerging as a 

stately Grand Diva 

of transcendental 

grandeur. 

Five million albums sold, 2 Brit Awards, 

2 Mobos, an Ivor Novello in 2008 for 

Outstanding Song Collection (after five 

previous nominations) and Gabrielle is 

acknowledged today as not only a stunning 

vocalist but a writer of instantly memorable 

melody. Under My Skin, her first studio album 

in 11 years, is quintessential Gabrielle, who 

“freestyles” over musical ideas, with no lyrics 

yet written, to create her signature sound. 

Since her fifth album Always in 2007, 

Gabrielle’s been a working mum-of-two, 

spending time on “the school run” (her 

youngest is now 15), song-writing at home, 

performing one-off shows across Europe and 

promoting her 2013 Greatest Hits anniversary 

collection Now and Always: 20 Years of 

Dreaming. 

Rachel Ducker catches up with Gabrielle to 

here all about it. 

R: Hi Gabrielle how are you today? 

I am fine thank you, a bit 

knackered, I did a show in 

Birmingham last night, the album 

launch, so I got to bed at 5am, and 

so I am sorry if I am a bit slow this 

morning! 

R: I watched your show on your 

Instagram story this morning and 

it looked amazing! 

[laughs] The audience were 

amazing, they were phenomenal–they 

were so lovely, and it was so hot, but 

everybody persevered and it was 

fantastic. 

R: I can’t imagine how hot it must be on 

stage with all the heat from the lights?

You know, it was crazy, but it was worth 

every minute of it. 

into the studio to write and record a song 

together. 

R: I bet! Well onto the first question, I 

would love to know how you got into 

music? 

The producers liked my voice, and 

afterwards they said, “we really like your 

tone”. 

Oh my gosh! Well, I’ve always been into 

music in general; I loved listening to all 

of the greats such as Michael Jackson, 

Madonna, all the pop stuff and the stuff 

from my mum’s music collection. 

I was always singing but never imagined I 

would ever have a career out of it. I 

remember as a teenager watching ‘Top 

of the Pops’ and ‘Fame’, way before your 

time… I loved all of the characters and I 

just really loved music. 

Although I should have been more loyal to 

my friend, she was about ten years older 

than me and had already had her own 

record released, when I was asked by the 

producers to come back, I snapped their 

hand off. 

Obviously, she found out, and we weren’t 

friends again but hey, you know, I was a 

young girl and I was in pursuit of having 

my own record like she did. So that’s how 

it happened, yeah. 

It wasn’t until my cousin’s boyfriend 

entered a fashion show at a club 

called ‘Moonlighting’ and they wanted 

entertainment as well as models, so my 

cousin put me forward, and I said “no I 

cant do it, I cant do that”! 

After I went back into the studio I was 

then put out on a white label and ahead of 

my recording label signing me, the white 

label had fallen into their hands and they 

came looking for me so that was how I 

was put on the radar. 

She said “but you love singing”? and I 

responded “no, no not in front of people”! 

Somehow she twisted my arm, and 

although I was scared I wanted to do it. 

Come the night I was on edge, I was so 

nervous. I was waiting for my mum to 

arrive and I was literally pushed on stage 

to sing a Luther Vandross cover song 

called ‘Any Love’, so that was my first 

introduction to public singing. 

R: How did you get your big break? 

Right so, by me singing at ‘Moonlighting’ 

I ended up dating a guy who paid for me 

to go to a recording studio with my friend, 

and her boyfriend paid for her. So we went 

R: What music inspired you growing up? 

My musical tastes are diverse, bearing in 

mind I have a 15-year-old daughter who 

loves a bit of Drake, I am the ‘pop tart’ in 

my house. I love Britney, Pink, Sam Smith, 

James Arthur and Jay-Z and Beyonce. 

I go from one to the other, so, what you’d 

expect from this middle-aged woman is 

not what I am giving you, I just love pop 

music. I grew up as an 80s child so it 

was like Spandau Ballet, a bit of Michael 

Jackson, I love Nirvana, The Beatles, and 

Oasis. 

R: Well believe it or not, I grew up 

listening to you, so it’s surreal for me to

speak to you today! 

Darlin’ [laughs] 

R: My mum always played your albums… 

Lewis Hamilton was telling me the same 

thing, loads of mum’s force their children 

to listen to me, [laughs] but that’s really 

lovely… 

R: Oh, I am not complaining! 

to myself “your mad what’s the point of 

having a husband if he isn’t helping”, but 

my mum was always like, “I want to see if I 

can do that, and do this”, so she did. 

A lot of women do it now. I admired her, 

but she’s scary in that sense, a lot of 

people don’t have that energy. She has 

more energy than I could ever have. 

R: Your debut single was ‘Dreams’ in 1993 

– does that feel like along time ago now? 

You’re so cute though I love it! Makes me 

realise how old I am [laughs] 

R: You’re not old! I am sure you are the 

coolest mum going as well? 

Oh you’re a diamond thank you very much! 

I should bring you over to tell my kids that! 

R: Speaking of mum’s, I’ve read lots about 

your mum being a very strong woman 

and a single parent, bringing yourself and 

your brothers up and holding down a few 

jobs… I mean that’s incredible. 

Yes, she used to work for the Ministry of 

Defence, and then she’d do a tailoring job, 

and also do some piece work, so that was 

making pieces for smart trousers and suits. 

Then later on she qualified as a social 

worker. 

I am telling you this, and thinking, my 

mum, she’s a gangster, she was definitely 

a gangster, in the sense of holding down 

three jobs, looking after four kids and 

doing it for herself. 

I say this because she was married, and I 

remember coming home one day and I just 

see her laying on the carpet and I thought 

Yeah, 25 years, it came out 7th June 1993. 

It’s quite funny as my son is 23 years old, 

so it was two years after, and the fact that 

its still one of his favourite songs I am like, 

wow. 

R: I think it’s still one of a lot of people’s 

favourite songs. 

It’s lovely that year’s later people still tweet 

how fresh it sounds and I love that. 

The success came about because people 

took it to their hearts and loved it and kind 

of made my dreams come true and after 

all this time I can still go out and do what 

I love. 

R: If you hadn’t had got into music what 

do you think you would be doing now? 

Oh, easy… I wanted to work with children. 

I do love kids… although I can’t wait to get 

away from mine most of the time [laughs] 

no I am kidding. 

I have been a mum for all of these years 

and it nice that now they can find their own 

way, but yeah I think I would be working 

with kids in some way, shape or form.

R: One of my favourite songs is ‘Rise’, 

you probably hear that all of the 

time? 

No, I love that, I never take that for 

granted. A lot of the time people pick out 

my favourites anyway. So I am happy ‘Rise’ 

is your favourite. 

R: Do you have a favourite song to 

perform? 

Right, I’ve got a few, ‘Rise’ is definitely one 

of them, I love the response. 

I also love ‘Sunshine’ and ‘When a 

Woman’, that’s a song that makes 

everyone’s booty move! I also love that I 

can be a bit of a bully with that song, I can 

get everyone up and dancing! [laughs] 

Lastly, ‘Dreams’, and I probably shouldn’t 

say this, but that is the song I leave to last 

as it’s one of my favourites that was the 

song that launched me. 

R: You’re known for styling your look 

with an eye patch or a streak of hair, due 

to an eye condition named Ptosis… 

I actually didn’t know what the condition 

was until I read it in a newspaper. 

Yeah, I just call it a lazy eye. It creates 

a lazy eye; and have had it since I was 

young. 

I had an operation as it was a 

deadeye muscle and they removed it. 

It’s one of those things where it’s better 

than not seeing, so when people think I 

don’t have an eye, no I have got two, just 

one of them is quite sleepy looking. 

It’s not something that I show. Some 

people have this in both their eyes, 

so I am just grateful its in just one of 

mine. I have covered it with an eye patch, 

sunglasses and now it is just hair, but 

I love that; I love the fact that this is 

just me. 

R: I think now a days its so hard when 

the young girls look at people in the 

media and sadly they can become selfconscious 

about the tiniest of things, I 

wondered what advice you would give 

them? 

I think like you said; they have these 

images of what they think women should 

look like, but women don’t actually look 

like that, with these filters, and thinned out 

effects, so for me, I think you have to be 

yourself and do you. 

I grew up at an all girl’s school, they were 

bitchy and I had a lazy eye and people 

would make jokes about it. I had the last 

laugh, as later on I would be out there 

making music. You just have to believe in 

yourself, if you don’t believe in you, how 

can anyone else? 

I could have let my condition hold me 

back but, I decided to get a big eye patch 

and I draw all the attention to it. 

R: I think that was my point of the 

question, I think you’ve been inspiring 

and I think that anyone else with any self 

doubts or any similar conditions about 

themselves will be inspired by that too. 

I hope so; I had a lot of letters from mum’s 

with children who were wearing eye 

patches, who didn’t have eyes. 

It was a case of; I was glad to represent 

people who were different, or not

even different, but even if you’ve lost a 

limb, it doesn’t stop us being humans, 

or having feelings, we are people after all 

you know? 

Sometimes you have to speak up and not 

suffer in silence. 

For example, if someone is bullying you, 

you go and tell someone. 

R: What track do you enjoy listening to 

the most on the new album? 

Oh my god, again, I’ll tell you, there’s ‘Show 

Me’ and I love ‘Shine’, I have also got a 

song called ‘Every Step’, I wrote that for a 

friend of mine who was going through a 

really bad time in her relationship and like 

myself, I am not good at taking advice but I 

am good at giving it. 

The fact I came out and was able to 

showcase it and show people that you can 

reach your full potential no matter what 

the issue is was important to me. 

You can’t tell a close friend to walk away 

from it all, even though you’d like to, it’s 

not your place, so I thought ok, all you can 

do is sit and listen. 

R: Thank you for answering that question, 

I didn’t want to raise it if you didn’t want 

to discuss it? 

So I wrote ‘Every Step’ for them. There are 

so many different songs; ‘Thank You’ is one 

we put out for the fans. 

Oh no, I am one of these people who 

are very open, I think the more you can 

speak about stuff the more people can be 

inspiring, you just have to accept yourself 

and be proud of who you are. 

R: Is it the same music style we are used 

to hearing? 

Oh… so on this album its very much, people 

keep saying, not me, ‘classic Gabrielle’. 

I am happy to talk about it but you must 

know, I’ve go more rabbit than Sainsburys 

[laughs] Gab by name and Gab by nature 

[laughs] 

I’ve gone off and done country music and 

things in the past, but this album is pop 

with the contrast of old school retro, with 

a bit of soul. 

R: Bless you! [laughs] Your back now with 

your 6th studio album, ‘Under My Skin’… 

can you tell us more about that? 

If you hear it, you’ll have a better 

understanding. There’s Gabrielle soul in 

there! 

I am loving it, because it took a while, 11 

years, and now it’s just a case, of doing 

show cases around the country. 

R: Thank you so much for your time, 

wishing you all the very best for the 

album launch! 

It’s such a fun time because it had been 

so long, and I felt my audience were truly 

worthy of new material because I have 

been singing the same stuff for the last 11 

years and beyond! It’s great to be back. 

It’s a pleasure to have talked to you. You 

take care my darling.

Is Change Good for You? 

I don’t’ know why, but I always view 

September as the month which 

proposes the most change, I imagine 

it goes back to my school days where 

September meant “Back to School”. 

But is change a good thing? How well do you 

accept and cope with change? 

Do you accept or fight change? 

Our brains are superb at doing the same thing 

over and over again, we are just wired that way. 

So when a big change occurs, it can be very 

unsettling, especially when that change is not 

within our control. 

We can’t stop certain things happening to us, lets 

face it life can really suck sometimes, but what we 

can control is how we react to it. 

Is change good for us? 

Change can be good for us as Winston Churchill 

said “a change is as good as a rest”. 

Lots of good can come from change, it can 

help push us out of our comfort zone so we 

can experience more, it can also make us more 

flexible and adaptable, it can also allow us to have 

more fun. 

Take a moment to think of one great experience 

you’ve had and I imagine, it was in some shape 

or form, connected to a change that occurred in 

your life. 

What do you choose? 

Change is a part of life, sometimes we have 

control over the changes in our lives and 

sometimes not but we always have a choice of 

how we react to change. 

We have a choice to embrace the change and 

allow good to come from it or resist it, which can 

lead to feelings of anxiety or unease. 

So the next time a big change occurs in your life 

take a moment to think about how you choose to 

react to it, accept or fight it! It’s your choice.

MOUNTAIN 

POSE 

(tah -DAHS-anna) 

Benefits 

Improves posture 

Strengthens thighs, knees, and ankles 

Firms abdomen and buttocks 

Relieves sciatica 

Reduces flat feet 

Cautions: 

Headache 

Insomnia 

Low blood pressure 

How to try the pose: 

1. Stand with the bases of your big toes touching, 

heels slightly apart (so that your second toes are 

parallel). 

Lift and spread your toes and the balls of your 

feet, then lay them softly down on the floor. Rock 

back and forth and side to side. Gradually reduce 

this swaying to a standstill, with your weight 

balanced evenly on the feet.. 

2. Firm your thigh muscles and lift the knee 

caps, without hardening your lower belly. Lift the 

inner ankles to strengthen the inner arches, then 

imagine a line of energy all the way up along 

your inner thighs to your groins, and from there 

through the core of your torso, neck, and head, 

and out through the crown of your head. 

Turn the upper thighs slightly inward. Lengthen 

your tailbone toward the floor and lift the pubis 

toward the navel. 

3. Press your shoulder blades into your back, 

then widen them across and release them down 

your back. Without pushing your lower front 

ribs forward, lift the top of your sternum straight 

toward the ceiling. Widen your collarbones. Hang 

your arms beside the torso. 

4. Balance the crown of your head directly over 

the center of your pelvis, with the underside of 

your chin parallel to the floor, throat soft, and the 

tongue wide and flat on the floor of your mouth. 

Soften your eyes. 

5. Tadasana is usually the starting position for 

all the standing poses. But it’s useful to practice 

Tadasana as a pose in itself. Stay in the pose for 

30 seconds to 1 minute, breathing easily. 

Beginner’s Tip: 

You can improve your balance in this pose by 

standing with your inner feet slightly apart, 

anywhere from 3 to 5 inches. 

Deepen the Pose: 

You can challenge your balance by practicing 

this pose with your eyes closed. Learn to 

balance without any reference to the outer 

environment. 

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.

Emily Fazah is 28 years old, originally from 

Suffolk, she moved back from London a 

couple of years ago after working for a 

recording and publishing company. 

She decided that the 9-5 office slog was not 

suited to my lifestyle and decided to move back 

to greener pastures… Moody Girl was created 

by Emily after years of suffering in silence with 

severe PMS. 

She explains, “From the age of 15 onwards I 

noticed a huge difference in the way I suffered 

with my periods compared to other girls at 

school. When trying to open up about both the 

psychological and physical effects it had on me I 

realised that this wasn’t something people spoke 

about honestly and from then on I learnt to 

suffer in silence and to just get on with it. There 

came a point when I just couldn’t ‘get on with 

it’ any longer and I decided to speak with my 

local GP. Unfortunately, my woes were met with 

the same blank expressions. All that was offered 

was the contraceptive pill (which sent my moods 

completely wild) or anti-depressants, which I 

refused to take, as I knew deep down this wasn’t 

depression”. 

“Finally, after extensive research I was referred to 

the Chelsea and Westminster PMS clinic where 

I spoke to the first doctor who understood why 

I had been suffering all these years and since 

then things have got much better. For so many 

years I felt so alone and like no one else was 

going through the same as what I was. But then 

I thought to myself ‘what if other women have 

been suffering in silence like I have?’ It was then 

that I decided to start Moody Girl, aiming to 

open a line of communication between women 

suffering with premenstrual conditions”. 

Moody Girl has an online forum for women to 

chat through everything menstrual related. The 

best way to be involved is to sign up and post 

any questions you may have or answer existing 

questions asked by other users.

The story of 

Sherry 

Jerez in Spain was a centre of viticulture in Spain in about 

1100 BC but the Romans had a bigger influence after. 

were vanquished, production of Sherry as we know 

it began again. Sir Francis Drake after sacking 

Cadiz in 1587 brought back 2,900 barrels of Sherry. 

BY ‘WINE BUFF’ FRED FISHER 

This was around 200 BC when the Moors 

conquered the area in AD 711 the art of distillation 

became known, introducing brandy and thus 

fortified wine. During the Moorish period the town 

was called Sherish which would seem to be the 

likely source of the name Sherry. 

Although Arab rule dictated that all vineyards 

should be destroyed, some were allowed to 

produce raisins and table grapes. 

In 1264 when Alfonso took the city and the Moors 

From that moment on Sherry became a popular 

drink in the British Isles. 

Production... 

Sherry, by law must come from the triangular 

area between, Jerez de la Frontera, Sanlucar de 

Barrameda and El Puerto de Santa Maria and 

mostly from the Palomino grape. 

The climate in this area has about 300 days of 

sun each year, dry and hot. It is moderated a 

little by winds bringing moisture from the ocean. 

Temperatures can often reach 40 C. 

The soils in this area are quite unique formed 

from: 

52

FOOD & DRINK 


ALBARIZA - The lightest soil, almost white, best 

for the Palomino. 40% chalk and the rest clay and 

sand. 

BARROS - Dark brown soil, 10% chalk and high 

clay percentage. 

ARENAS - A Yellowish soil, 10% chalk and a high 

sand content. 

Barros and Arenas grow mostly Pedro Ximenez 

grapes. 

Two main grapes are used, the Palomino and the 

Pedro Ximenez. Most sherry uses the Palomino, 

producing a very neutral and plain wine. This 

simple style is enhanced by the sherry process. 

The Pedro Ximenez (PX) is used for 

sweetness. 

Wine is made from the Palomino 

with the first pressing making 

what are called Fino and 

Manzanilla sherries. The 

second pressing is used for 

Olorosos. After fermentation 

the wines are graded as suitable 

for Finos or Amontillados. To 

these are added brandy to fortify 

it to 15% alcohol. Other more heavier 

wines can be suitable for Olorosos and are 

fortified to 17.5% alcohol. 

Ageing... 

The fortified wines are stored in 500 litre 

American oak casks (called Butts) A space is left 

at the top of the barrel to allow flor to develop on 

top of the wine. This is an airborne fungus which 

resembles a topping of custard. The flor can 

remain intact or can deteriorate and this leads to 

the difference between Finos , with complete 

Flor or Olorosos with damaged flor. 

They are then put into a Solera system, from 

which each year a new layer of barrels are 

formed. As wine is finally sold from the oldest, 

those barrels are topped up from the previous 

years, and that from its own previous year. In this 

way the system can keep going with each year 

topping up the one before it, so this can go for 

many years. Normally this is about 12 years and 

a new Solera is started. It could last for 30, 40 or 

even longer number of years. 

Types of Sherry... 

FINO - The driest and palest, must be drunk soon 

after opening. 

MANZANILLA - A Fino made near 

Sanlucar de Barrameda which has a 

salty taste, from proximity to the sea. 

AMONTILLADO - Like a Fino but 

where the flor got damaged leading 

to oxygen exposure. Darker then 

Fino. 

OLOROSO - Oxidised for longer than 

Fino, darker and richer, can be 18 to 

20% alcohol. Can be sweetened. 

PALO CORTADO - Started life as an 

Amontillado but developed like an Olorosos, or 

flor killed by fortification 

SWEET - Uses dried PX grapes and is intensely 

sweet and dark. 

CREAM - First made in the 1860s by blending 

different sherries including Olorosos and Pedro 

Ximenez. 

The range of sugar content of sherries goes from 

0 to 5 grams per litre for Finos, and up to 212 

grams per litre for Pedro Ximenez. 

Conclusions... 

Although less popular in recent years it is seeing a comeback and various shows on TV 

feature it in the script. It was at one time thought of as the best wine in the world and could 

be said to be among the best.

Mascarpone 

tart with 

boozy peaches 

The rough puff pastry is 

contrasted nicely by the 

smooth, creamy mascarpone 

and sweet, boozy peaches in 

this gorgeous tart recipe... 

1. Put all the ingredients for the peaches 

(apart from the peaches) in a small pan and 

heat until the sugar has dissolved. Pour into 

a mixing bowl and add the peaches, making 

sure they’re submerged in the liquid. Cover the 

bowl and marinate for 30 minutes. 

2. Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. 

Roll out the pastry until it’s a rough 20cm x 

30cm rectangle the thickness of a £1 coin. Put 

on a baking sheet lined with non-stick baking 

paper, then lightly score a 3cm border around 

the edges. Brush all over the pastry with the 

beaten egg and sprinkle a little sugar around 

the border. Bake for 15-20 minutes until 

golden and puffed. Take out of the oven, then 

gently push the centre back down with a fish 

slice and leave the pastry to cool completely. 

Ingredients 

• 300g Mascarpone Cream 

• 320g Puff Pastry 

For the peaches 

• 200ml vin santo (or other sweet wine) 

• 1 vanilla pod, split lengthways 

• 15g caster sugar 

• 1 star anise 

• 1 cinnamon stick 

• 3 fresh lemon thyme sprigs, plus a few 

extra sprigs to serve 

• 5 ripe peaches, cut into 1cm slices 

3. Mix the mascarpone with the icing sugar 

and lemon zest in a mixing bowl until well 

combined. Spread the mixture over the pastry 

base, inside the border. Scatter the peaches 

over the tart along with a few sprigs of lemon 

thyme, then drizzle over some of the reduced 

marinade.

Summer fun by the River Waveney... 

With the end of the summer 

season on 10 September in 

sight, 2018 looks like being a 

record season at Beccles Lido. 

With glorious weather at the 

beginning of the summer holidays, 

what seemed like all of East Anglia 

descended on Beccles to swim in one 

of the region’s only heated openair 

swimming pools. With its slide, 

springboard, giant inflatable, lane 

swimming til 10am and café serving 

hot and cold food, Beccles Lido is 

the perfect destination for an early 

morning swim or a family day out. 

More information at www.beccleslido. 

com. 

Following a huge fundraising 

campaign in 2017, the Lido was 

transformed for 2018 with new toilets 

and a re-landscaped patio area. The toddler pools were also 

completely revamped and for 2019 the main pool has to be 

re-furbished, upgraded and re-lined. This final upgrade in an 

ambitious 2 year project to Secure Beccles Lido’s Future is 

the most expensive project since Beccles Lido Limited took 

over the pool in 2009. The community is being urged to get 

involved and help raise funds to persuade larger grant funders 

to invest the £150,000+ required. Nearly half the community 

fundraising target of £15,000 has already been raised and 

over £35,000 in total. To learn more or to help please visit 

uk.virginmoneygiving.com/Team/NewLiner. 

You can also help by visiting the Lido’s big annual fundraiser – 

Beccles Beer Festival, 16-18 November at Beccles Public Hall. 

When the Lido closes it’s not the end of the fun as the Lido 

also operates Big Dog Ferry until October. So why not book a 

passenger boat trip between Beccles Lido and Geldeston Locks 

Inn, a relaxing 3 mile boat journey along the River Waveney 

with the opportunity to enjoy the wildlife en-route – otters, 

kingfishers and marsh harriers are all regular sights. Find out 

more at www.bigdogferry.co.uk or call 07532 072761. 

Beccles Lido has been voted one of the 50 best things to do in Suffolk!

Ross promoted to Head Chef after impressing 

all at Ravenwood Hall... 

When Ross Cook was looking for the 

perfect venue for his fairytale wedding, 

he admitted he fell in love with 

Ravenwood Hall on first sight. 

Little did he know that he would be returning 

to the beautiful and historic setting just a few 

months later as an integral member of staff. 

Fast forward to the present day and Ross is 

happily married to Laura after their wonderful 

wedding–while having double reason to celebrate 

after being named the new head chef at the 

prestigious hotel and restaurant. 

Ross impressed all at the hotel and restaurant 

during a two-year spell at Ravenwood as Sous 

Chef. 

So when the position of running the entire kitchen 

came up, Craig Jarvis, owner of Ravenwood, 

admitted it was an easy decision to make. 

It was particularly special for Ross, 27, who had 

got married at the seven-acre estate – booking 

his wedding venue even before joining the team. 

Ross, who boasts a number of top hotels and 

restaurants in Ipswich and Needham Market 

on his impressive CV, said: “I originally came to 

Ravenwood as I knew all about its reputation in 

the local area. 

“I had always dreamed that one day I would be 

the Head Chef at Ravenwood and I jumped at the 

chance when it was offered to me. 

“It has a very high standard of cuisine and I am 

looking forward to continuing that and then 

enhancing it to ensure Ravenwood continues to 

have a reputation as the place-to-go in the local 

area.” 

Ross knew all about the beautiful setting at 

Ravenwood after he and his now wife, Laura, 

chose to get married there–with the ceremony 

held in May of this year. 

He explained: “When we first looked at 

Ravenwood Hall in 2015, we just fell in love with 

this stunning place with its amazing grounds, 

wedding pavilion and a hotel steeped in tradition. 

To now be the Head Chef here is a dream come 

true.” 

Ross is now busy preparing Ravenwood’s new 

autumn menu before embarking on his first 

Christmas leading the kitchen.

Planning a vegan 

picnic 

Why not make the most out of this 

long, warm summer? 

There is still plenty of time to get out the picnic 

blankets. Whether you are heading to the park 

or the beach - a picnic is a fun thing to do for all 

the family. 

And just because you can’t tuck into chicken

like a daunting task, but it really isn’t when you 

know how. We’ve hunted down a few local vegan

SUFFOLK ESCAPE ROOM 

AND HAPPY DAYS RV 

If you are looking for a a bit of mystery mixed with a 

funky vintage vacation, then look no further... 

Suffolk Escape Room is 

situated in the unique 

location of an original war 

time Nissen Hut on the edge 

of an American style Trailer 

Park, Happy Days Retro 

Vacations - the perfect duo. 

You can have 2-8 players and once inside, players must find 

hidden clues and solve puzzles that will lead them towards 

escape. 

Bounce Magazine were thrilled to be invited along to take on 

the Suffolk Escape Room challenge and enjoy a stay on site at 

Happy Days Retro Vacations. Here’s what we thought. 

So what is an Escape Room? An 

Escape Room is a live immersive 

experience. 

“As we walked up to the Suffolk Escape Room, the suspense 

was killing us... We all wondered what was awaiting us behind 

that door! 

Players are ‘locked’ in a room and 

must solve a series of puzzles within 

60 minutes in order to escape an 

Area 51 theme. Common sense goes 

a long way! 

Equipped with a walkie-talkie, we were sent into the room. As 

the door closed, we were suddenly transformed into a band of 

determined UFO hunters, and yes we did take on the roles very 

seriously! Our mission was to search the room thoroughly, and 

as a team we had to work out how to escape. 

68

FOOD FOOD & DRINK DRINK 


We had one hour to crack all the puzzles that hid 

in the depths of the room. 

It was also at this point that everyone’s 

competitive streak took over… the countdown to 

escape had begun. 

annoyingly obvious that we kicked ourselves 

about it afterwards. We ended up making it out 

in 50 minutes 57 seconds, which we were told 

wasn’t a bad first attempt. We were buzzing after 

the game and wanted to go back in time and do 

it all again. 

I am absolutely fascinated with UFO’s and 

paranormal activity, so this theme was right up 

my street. Secretly, in my head, I was pretending I 

was Dana Scully, (I grew up watching the X Files) 

- I didn’t tell anyone else that, I had my own fun 

with it! 

We whizzed through the first few puzzles with 

ease, but sometimes it the most obviously things 

that create the hurdles! The last puzzle was so 

Suffolk Escape Rooms provides the perfect 

environment for team-building activities, birthday 

parties or just simple fun with your family and 

friends.

Camping with a twist... 

A stay in this ‘space age’ looking airstream 

complements the UFO themed, Suffolk 

Escape Rooms theme nicely. 

Set on a peaceful campsite 

just a short distance from the 

famous site at Rendlesham, 

further up the A12, you will 

find a unique, kitch camping 

experience. 

I absolutely love camping, but 

sometimes I can be put off by the 

hassle of putting up a tent, and setting 

up home in a muddy field. 

So I was delighted when I was offered to the 

opportunity to try out some camping with full on 

added glamour? 

Yes, I am talking about Glamping… a way 

to connect with nature with all of 

your usual hotel-style comforts in 

a lovingly restored vintage chic 

airstream. Now doesn’t that 

sound cool? 

Staying in ‘Peggy’, one of seven 

airstreams owned by Kevin and 

Jenni Armstrong, came complete 

with a double bedroom, dining couch 

that turns into an extra bed, a kitchen 

area and toilet, complete with an outdoor dining

area and very own fire pit. You don’t have to 

worry about packing anything except your own 

clothing and towels, everything else is provided, 

you can even hire the optional bedding to save 

space and washing on your return home. 

Like me, you will also be surprised to find 

it includes a fridge, cooker, TV, radio, not 

forgetting complimentary marshmallows, 

perfect for star gazing by the fire pit. Keeping 

as many of their retro details as possible, the 

airstreams still have their original wooden veneers, 

brightened up homely details, patterned curtains, 

fairy lights and bunting. 

Glamorous camping is becoming the stylish way 

to enjoy the outdoors, and we loved our two-night 

break away at Happy Days, a perfect retreat for all 

the family right by the beautiful surroundings of the 

Suffolk Coast.

BLACK HONEY 

Bursting out of the ether in 2014 with their squalling guitars, vivid colours and 

cinematic vignettes, there’s no other British band out there quite like Black Honey. 

Having spent the last four years perfecting 

the indie game, everything you think you 

know about them and their unique surrealist 

world is about to be wonderfully shaken 

up as they prepare to release their hugely 

anticipated debut album. 

With contradiction at every turn, it’s an 

album that celebrates being 

human, in all its different 

forms and by doing so, 

will touch the hearts of 

everyone that hears it. 

We’ve already heard ‘Bad 

Friends’ earlier this year, but 

with the exception of 2016’s 

‘Hello, Today’ (the track 

that saw the band become 

a household name at Radio 1), and the 2017 

closer ‘Dig’, the album is made up of entirely 

new music with 9 brand new songs on offer. 

band – Tom Dewhurst (drums), Tom Taylor 

(bass) and Chris Ostler (guitar) – to channel 

everything that comes from her obsessive 

and dizzyingly creative head and bottle it into 

music. 

The album as a result is ultimately a collage 

of chaos, shot straight at the heart – honest, 

inspiring and deeply infectious. 

Rachel Ducker caught up with 

Izzy B Phillips, songwriter, 

front woman, and all-round 

creative force behind guitarpop 

band Black Honey, 

R: Hey Izzy… 

Hello right I’m ready for you. 

R: Could you tell me about how you initially 

got involved with music? 

Across the entirety of the record, you can 

always feel the bare bones of front lady Izzy 

B Phillips diary scribbles are just around the 

corner as the varying tracks switch between 

chart-headed bangers and scuzzy, industrial 

David Lynch inspired strangeness. 

I did the whole theatre school, singing thing 

when I was a kid, and really hated it! [laughs] 

I was in all of the musicals, I quite liked the 

songs but I didn’t really like the way that 

people would sing them. 

It’s the weird and wonderful mind of Phillips 

- her lovable but villainous, Milky-Bar-kidmeets-Debbie 

Harry persona – that you find 

very much at the heart of ‘Black Honey’. An 

open sufferer of both dyslexia and ADHD, 

she’s a huge advocate for self-expression 

without limit and has relied hugely on her 

When I was young, my dad said to me, “you’ve 

got a musical ear”, and I was like “what’s a 

musical ear”? So he said “its an inner ear”. 

So I remember going around the school 

playground going “I’ve got a musical inner ear, 

it’s an ear inside my head that hears music 

better than everyone else”. [laughs]

R: Amazing, well what a start! Who were 

your musical influences growing up? 

Well, I don’t actually have any memory of 

there being records played in our house. 

My dad used to play the jazz trumpet and 

also played the piano. I remember watching 

him over his shoulder once and watched it 

long enough that I kind of learnt it. Which is 

amazing, as now I can’t learn anything, it takes 

me hours to even learn my own songs! 

R: When did your music career actually 

begin? 

I would say officially, when we launched Black 

Honey and we started touring. I had been 

writing songs for ages and I was in many 

bands, but I just used to play on the local 

Brighton scene. We never really did anything, 

and then when we formed Black Honey 

people were like, “hey do you want to come 

to Holland and be on the radio”? And we were 

like “whoa this had suddenly become a thing, 

this is very real”. 

were listening to a lot of grunge and 70’s 

rock anyway so it was quite natural for us to 

develop that into what is now Black Honey. 

R: How did you find your gang of 

collaborators? Could you tell me about how 

the four of you met and came to create Black 

Honey? 

So I met Chris in college, and we started 

playing guitar together. Then we met Tommy 

because he was living with Chris at the 

time and he was a drummer whilst we went 

through a string of bass players, and then we 

couldn’t find a bass player so we made Tommy 

play bass and roped Tom in to play drums - it 

was only meant to be a short term thing, but 

he is still here to this day and now he’s like 

everyone’s favourite member. 

R: Where did the band name come from? 

It’s like bitter sweet, light and dark, you know, 

contrast. Everything contrasts and it’s a 

beautiful thing. 

R: Did you have a vision in mind when you 

were first starting the band? 

R: They always say there is no light without 

the dark. 

Yeah! It was really strange, I remember telling 

the guys I wanted to make this retro, almost 

rival idea, and everyone was just like “what 

the f*ck is she talking about, she sounds 

completely mental”? So I was like “just hear 

me out”. I then I made a college out with Liz 

Savage and I started looking at guitar tones 

that to me spoke 60’s cinema, and then it was 

the time when Lana Del Rae started coming 

through. 

Then everyone kind of had a point of reference 

and seemed to understand that vintage kind 

of idea. So I said imagine if we did a retro 

rock and roll band and then from there we 

went into a complete rabbit hole. Before we 

Yeah exactly! 

R: How do you approach writing? 

I like to use different technique;, I think of 

writing as an evolving process, so I like to 

write lyrics in a journal. I write a lot of poems, 

at the moment I am more poem based than 

chords, I’m sort of board of the guitar at the 

moment. Sometimes I will just take the poems 

into the boys and be like “hey, what’s up I’ve 

got this poem lets make something out of 

this”, and other times I will write an entire 

song on an acoustic guitar and will go in and 

be like “yo! this whole songs done” and we will 

just go for it.

R: Your self-titled debut album is coming out 

on 21 st September. 

Yeah, it’s my birthday! 

R: Oh wow, well happy birthday for then! 

What it’s like to play new tracks from the 

album live? 

We’ve been playing a lot of them live already, 

for example, we’ve been playing ‘Midnight’ 

since March, mainly because it’s the hardest 

song in the world to sing! 

So we needed a good six-month buildup 

before it comes out to get comfy with it. We 

are just piecing together all of the last bits 

for the upcoming shows and its rewarding, its 

really rewarding. It feels really good. 

R: You’ve released four EPs over four years, 

why’s it the right time for you to finally 

release your debut album? 

I think because I felt I had so much more 

to say. You only get one shot at your debut 

album. Previously we did 6 weeks on the road 

in arenas and I came back thinking, “nah I 

need a song I can play in arenas and its going 

to go off”! So then I came back and wrote five 

songs for the record between December and 

January. 

I think the highlight would have to be Queens 

of the Stone Age, opening the main stage 

the day after we announced the album, when 

we all had our wicked jackets on. There is no 

better feeling in the world than when your 

with your four best mates on stage having the 

best time of your life. 

R: We are actually right by Latitude, I think 

you played there too… 

Yeah, I loved Latitude, I think that was my 

discovery of this year. It was brilliant, people 

can go swimming in a lake, they have nice 

cocktail bars; I love cocktails and I am usually 

on a mission at festivals to find one bar, and 

there were like six at Latitude. 

R: You have your own tour starting in 

October; can you tell us more about that? 

Yeah, we are really stoked, we are hitting the 

road in October and coming to Norwich and 

f*ck loads of towns; we are going to play the 

sh*t out of the record. We’ve got some crazy 

merch, we’ve got a new light show coming 

for you, it’s all kicking off. We also have some 

special limited edition vinyl’s – double picture 

disc deluxe, which will have lips on the actual 

record. 

R: How can people get a copy? 

R: What do you want people to take away 

from the album? 

I want people to be like “Oh my f*cking god, 

what has just happened to me”! But at the 

same time thinking, “I didn’t expect that but 

actually it’s so addictive”, I want people to feel

Mile Stone 

BIRTHDAYS 

If you hadn’t guessed I’m a 

September baby! So I thought 

I’d write a little something to 

celebrate BY RUBY this REED month. 

All birthdays are 

special, and I have 

always been one to 

make a fuss when 

it’s someone else’s. 

But it’s also very nice when 

someone makes a fuss of ours 

isn’t it? Especially when it’s a 

big one. 

A milestone birthday should 

be something good to look 

back at. 

You’ll definitely find yourself 

thinking ‘What did I do?’ on my eighteenth, twentyfirst, 

thirtieth- fiftieth! So make sure it’s a good 

memory. 

Maybe it’ll be a memorable present. For example, if 

you are buying someone something for a milestone 

birthday, it would be great if it was something to 

last. Then when looking back the person actually has 

something from this day. This has been done for me 

with a piece of jewellery- and each bit means a lot to 

me. 

Depending on who you are buying for, different gift 

ideas will be appropriate. Consider a piece of art. 

Alongside memorable presents are obviously 

memorable moments. Memories last a lifetime 

remember! So a great idea for a milestone birthday is 

an experience. 

84

SEPTEMBER SEPTEMBER 2018 | 2018 ISSUE | ISSUE #71 | #71 LIFESTYLE 

Example - What did you do 

for your 30 th ? - Oh that’s 

easy to remember- a hot 

air balloon ride! 

I have mentioned before 

I’m a fan of experience 

days and there are so 

many that would make the 

perfect gift for a special 

birthday. 

A track day for the guys, 

wine tasting for the classy! 

What about going away? 

Travelling and experiencing 

a new location is always 

something we remember. 

It’s away from the norm 

and a well-deserved treat 

on your birthday! 

I remember being in France for my 

twenty-first and always will. 

Of course don’t forget your other 

option… PARTY! As big or as small as you 

like. Friend or family, or both! If you ask 

me, there aren’t enough parties these 

days. 

They seem to stop when we get past 14… 

Well I think grown up parties may have 

to be the next thing. A great excuse to 

get glamorous. And yes you can have a 

theme if you want to- great idea. 

We only get one birthday a year so make 

it count, however old!

SEPTEMBER SEPTEMBER 2018 | ISSUE 2018 | #71 ISSUE | #71 HISTORY 

Who was 

Ethel Clara Neave?... 

Ethel was born in Diss 

on 22 January 1883 

to Water William and 

Charlotte Anne. 

She would later qualify as a 

typist, and by 1900 calling 

herself Ethel Le Neave she was 

hired by Dr Hawley Harvey 

Crippen who would later on 

be hanged for the murder and 

mutilation of his wife Cora in 

1910. 

The Crippen’s resided at 

Hilldrop Crescent, Holloway, 

London. Cora was a musichall 

artiste whose stage name 

was Belle Elmore and she 

flaunted her many lovers to her 

husband. 

A love affair started in 1905 

and after the murder they 

decided to leave the country 

and sailed on the SS Montrose 

across the Atlantic where 

Ethel, who was dressed as 

boy became the suspicion of 

the ship’s master. The couple 

were listed as Mr Robinson 

and Son. For the first time, 

a telegraph was sent from a 

ship to Scotland Yard stating 

‘Crippen and Miss Le Neve are 

on the Montrose’. Scotland 

Yard sent Chief Inspector Drew 

to Canada to arrest both and 

to extradite them both back to 

England. 

After the trial where Ethel was 

exonerated of complicity to 

murder she refused to talk to 

anyone regarding the event 

and three hours after Crippen 

was hanged at Pentonville she 

sailed to New York on the SS 

Majestic using the name Miss 

Allen. During the journey she 

remained dressed in mourning 

with her face kept under a veil. 

She later worked in Toronto 

for three years and then under 

the name Ethel Harvey she 

returned to London to work for 

a furniture company and it was 

there that she met and married 

Stanley Smith in January 1915 

and they settled in Croydon 

where they had two children. 

An interesting fact is that 

biologist Professor William 

Wright was to testify, but 

never called, but it was said 

that he had evidence that 

Ethel had spent time in the 

Royal College of Surgeons 

Library reading books on 

toxicology. 

Ethel’s last days were spent 

living in a house between 

Catford and Lower Sydenham, 

London in total obscurity, as 

she had done since the trial, 

passing away on 9 August 1967 

from heart failure aged 84. 

Interest in Ethel over the years 

never died and in the early 

1980s her children Bob and 

Nina received a letter from a 

crime writer asking to meet 

to discuss Ethel’s life and 

that of the murder of Cora 

Crippen. Both children had no 

knowledge of their mother’s 

involvement and were stunned 

to say the least but did agree 

to see the writer where they 

learnt so much but were so 

sad on what their mother had 

gone through over the years. 

Both agreed that their mother 

had been rather straight-laced. 

Letters from Ethel to Crippen 

were buried with him and a 

locket with a photo of Crippen 

was placed close to Ethel’s 

heart just as the coffin was 

closed.

GO APE 

THETFORD 

Set in the heart of Britain’s largest lowland 

pine forest, is Go Ape, a unique adventure 

park... 

From treetops to Segways, be prepared to test 

your swing, balance and grip. This challenging 

but fun course will certainly put you through your 

paces, all surrounded by a backdrop of beautiful, 

green pines and a few bewildered squirrels. 

The Bounce team were invited to test the course 

at Thetford Forest and first up was Forest 

Segways. We arrived 10 minutes before our 

allotted time and were given a list of rules to 

read and a waiver form to sign. The kind people 

behind the desk were 

able to look after all 

of our belongings, so 

don’t worry if you have 

bags and picnics, they 

will be stored in a safe 

place. 

Before exploring the 

forest on our own, we 

acquainted ourselves 

with a self-balancing, all-terrain, electric 

Segway, but not without a safety briefing and 

training session first. 

The key is to relax your knees and push your feet 

downwards. Turning is easy; simply move the 

handles in the direction you want to go, which 

comes naturally if you look at the corner you are 

about to take. As we practiced around a circular 

circuit, a few laps later and it was time to begin 

our forest adventure. At 6mph, we followed 

narrow, bumpy trails, which were a little more 

challenging, but great fun especially round the 

twisty corners! 

88

FOOD FOOD & DRINK DRINK 


There is usually always one, and that was me! 

Showing off for a video, let’s just say I lost my 

balance, almost fell off - apparently did an 

impressive one hand, one leg manoeuvre, but, I 

rescued myself and managed to get out in one 

piece – those martial art lessons have obviously 

helped my balance! You can view on Facebook! 

We then explored the forest as a group but 

increased to the speed of 12mph. After a ride out 

into the forest, we arrived back at training camp, 

concluding our Segway experience. 

After a quick picnic stop, we then went straight 

onto the Treetop Adventure. We were safely 

fitted with our harnesses and before climbing 

up into the trees we had a practice run around a 

short course, which was approximately 2 feet off 

the ground. I rather liked the practice bit, there 

were two of us in the group who are not so keen 

on heights. I find I prefer to wobble about in the 

air with the certain knowledge that if I fall off 

the rope, I won’t fall to far. Putting me to shame, 

there were people flying across the ropes in the 

sky. The first cable crossing didn’t look all that 

intimidating until I had climbed up to it, then 

something primitive kicked in my brain, making 

me feel quite uneasy, but I overcame it and 

soldiered on 

On a couple of occasions there are ‘easy’ and 

‘advanced’ options. My favourite part was the 

Tarzan Swing - a dangling rope that sees you 

freefall for an adrenaline-pumping moment, 

before being caught by a cargo net. You’ll feel 

like you’ve had the most fun workout of your life 

- and that’s without mentioning how proud you’ll 

feel afterwards! 

We had a totally unforgettable Go Ape 

experience! At the end of the course, after racing 

your partner down a double zip line, we were 

each presented with a certificate to prove our 

bravery. There is also a Go Ape Junior Treetop 

challenge for adventurous children and big kids.

Cover yourself IN JOY, BY DIOR... 

Dior has been pulling all the stops out recently! 

They’ve been revamping lots of their classic 

scents but also bringing new essentials out! 

This is no exception for “Joy” the brand 

new fragrance by Dior. 

Launched at the end of August, it is an ode 

to pleasures and to life. 

It is conceived as a scent of 

energy, liveliness and softness, 

of happiness and good 

mood. 

This highly anticipated and 

sort after fragrance is not 

only new, it is the first stand 

along fragrance of perfume 

launched by Dior in 20 years. 

It is a fragrance illuminated by the vibrant 

smell of flowers and citrus fruits, the 

smooth caress of woods and the serenity 

of musks; a fragrance with a thousand 

nuances and facets, yet crystal-clear. 

Zested Bergamot and Mandarin explode 

in unison with flowers. Grasse Rose, in 

both Essence and Absolute form, as 

well as heady Jasmine, blend with these 

delectable fruits in a vibrant smile. 

Warm clear and creamy sandalwood 

embraces us in softness. 

An intimate signature, the clear 

powdery whisper of musks creates 

a tender and sensual sin-on-sin 

effect. 

With the feminine, but classic 

bottle, in a soft pink, both 

luminous and precious, you’ll not 

only love the smell but you’ll want to 

display this in your room.

The Diamond Experience... 

Medical Microdermabrasion with 

Diamonds at SK... 

We do put our skin through a lot, and at this 

time of year, it can show. It continuously fights 

the sun’s harmful rays, pollution and toxins we 

ingest, and at some point, these stresses and 

strains can be visible through our complexions. 

Skin can appear dull, dehydrated, uneven in 

texture and pigmented. 

One treatment which is excellent at reviving 

skin and gently removing the damaged outer 

layer, is the Medical Microdermabrasion with 

Diamonds treatment, now available at SK. 

So, what is the difference 

between the Diamond treatment 

and the Crystal treatment we 

had before? Well… Traditional 

microdermabrasion methods 

use very small crystals to buff 

away the outer layer of skin. This 

was effective, however it had its 

drawbacks such as the crystals 

could be highly abrasive and 

create inflammation and heat on the skin, 

plus, clients needed some downtown after the 

treatment, which isn’t ideal for busy lifestyles. 

Diamond Microdermabrasion is much gentler 

to the skin, it polishes rather than blasting, and 

is highly-effective at removing the dead skin 

cells. The treatment can also be customised 

to suit the clients skin type and needs, as the 

coarseness of the diamonds can be adjusted. 

As the treatment is performed, no heat or 

inflammation is created with the instruments, 

this means the clients only have temporary 

minor redness shortly after their treatment, 

which dissipates quickly. Ensuring you can 

continue with your day, without looked 

permanently ‘flushed’! 

Why would I want the treatment? Medical 

Microdermabrasion with Diamonds helps to 

improve general skin health for a brighter 

more rejuvenated appearance. Secondly, it can 

target specific skin conditions such as Acne 

Scarring, Sun Damage, Age Spots, 

Fine Lines, Blackheads, Oily Skin 

and Hyperpigmentation. It also is a 

relatively quick treatment, lasting 

from 25 to 45 minutes, perfect to fit 

into your lunchtime hour. Although 

you may appear slightly flushed and 

red initially after your appointment, 

these effects should disappear within 

half an hour, just make sure to wear 

an SPF for several days to protect your skin. 

To see visible, longer-lasting significant 

changes, you will require a course of 

treatments spaced a couple of weeks apart. 

To take advantage of the offer we have 

with Bounce Magazine, see our advert 

opposite…

Why Should I Be Oil Pulling? 

There is often a preconception that if it’s a natural 

technique it won’t be as good as the latest 

chemical option however many holistic treatments 

have stood the test of time and continue to be 

passed down from generation to generation. Oil 

pulling is one that I can certainly see staying for 

many years to come. 

What is Oil Pulling? 

It is a traditional Indian Ayurvedic technique 

that draws toxins from the mouth and the body 

through the gums, teeth and pores in the mouth. 

Trapping bacteria that can then be expelled when 

the oil is removed. 

It is estimated that this holistic technique has been 

used for between 3000-5000 years! To me that 

shows that this is not a fad and there is a science 

behind the technique that has withstood the test 

of time. 

Which oil should I use? 

My personal choice is Coconut oil as it is known 

to be particularly effective due to its natural 

antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. I 

personally feel more comfortable with the delicate 

taste and light texture. 

However you could also use sesame or sunflower 

oil. You may also like to consider an oil pulling 

mouthwash as it already comes in liquid form and 

may fit in to your general routine with ease. I use 

the Georganics oil pulling mouthwash in english 

peppermint - lovely and refreshing in the morning. 

98

HAIR & BEAUTY 


How can it help me? 

It is believed that Coconut oil pulling can reduce harmful 

bacteria in your mouth. Many people believe that oil pulling 

can remove plaque and prevent, or even cure cavities. 

I personally have had many issues with my teeth since I 

was very young, overcrowding, teeth removal, braces, low 

enamel etc. I always care for my teeth very well however I 

came to the conclusion that maybe mainstream oral care 

wasn’t for me. 

Having developed a fear of the dentist, a solution that 

could potentially prevent cavities was a must for me! 

I have to say that after oil pulling for just a few days the 

very small amount of plaque I had has just about gone! 

Benefits of oil pulling... 

• It has been known to help reduce 

infections such as abscesses 

• Reduce harmful bacteria 

• Reduce the appearance of plaque 

on teeth 

• Whiten teeth 

• Potentially reduce / repair cavities 

• Strengthen teeth 

• Fresher breath 

• Reduced tooth and gum sensitivity 

all around your mouth. 

You can even gargle with it if you wish. 

Careful not to swallow the oil though and 

ensure you spit it out at the end. 

The liquid should now appear bubbly and 

fine in consistency. You may notice debris in 

the liquid too where it has cleaned particles 

from between your teeth too. 

It’s recommended to use oil pulling in the 

morning, followed by brushing your teeth 

thoroughly afterwards. It’s not advised after 

eating. 

I find it fits in with my routine to start oil 

pulling before I get in the shower every 

morning - I then don’t find myself watching 

the clock and it always feels great to multitask. 

Written by Sarah Gare. 

Some people do believe that oil pulling can have many 

positive effects on the body too and each individual may 

experience different results. 

Tips & techniques... 

To oil pull simply take around a tablespoon or cap full of 

coconut oil or an oil pulling mouthwash and swill the liquid 

around your mouth for around 10-20 minutes. 

Be sure to allow the liquid to pass through your teeth and

LATE SUMMER PROGRESSES 

BY KATE LINES 

Kates Top Tip : Plan ahead - Buy springflowering 

bedding plants and buy or order 

spring-flowering bulbs. 

September is generally a cooler, 

gustier month than August and the 

days are noticeably shorter. 

While there’s not as much to do in the ornamental 

garden at this time of the year, if you have a fruit or 

vegetable patch, you’ll be busy reaping the rewards 

of harvest. 

Propagation 

Take cuttings of tender perennials, such as 

Pelargonium and Osteospermum. 

These plants often do better grown from new 

cuttings each year. If you do not have a greenhouse, 

then use a light windowsill to grow them on. 

It’s also time to get out and start planting springflowering 

bulbs for next year and you can collect 

seeds for next summer’s colour too. Make the most 

of the remaining warmth while you can! 

Continue collecting and storing seed from perennials 

still forming seed heads. Bring inside any tender 

perennials, such as Fuchsia, Gazania, Lantana and 

Abutilon, before frosts cause damage. 

110

HOME & GARDEN 


Top jobs this month: 

1. Divide herbaceous perennials 

2. Pick autumn raspberries 

6. Keep up with watering of new plants, using rain 

or grey water if possible 

7. Start to reduce the frequency of houseplant 

watering 

3. Collect and sow seed from perennials and hardy 

annuals 

8. Clean out cold frames and greenhouses so that 

they are ready for use in the autumn 

4. Dig up remaining potatoes before slug damage 

spoils them 

9. Cover leafy vegetable crops with bird-proof 

netting 

5. Net ponds before leaf fall gets underway 

10. Plant spring flowering bulbs

SUFFOLK PUNCH 

BY ROSS “ACTION MAN” WISHART 

Suffolk Punch Boxing Club at 

Martlesham, Ipswich has been 

running since 2013 and is lead by 

highly qualified Coaches Rob Hodgins 

(who has been coaching for 28 years) 

and Sara Thomas. 

The club is open to all abilities from complete 

novices (that’ll be me), to highly advanced and 

professional level fighters, the club has two of 

its own professional boxers along with many 

regional champions. 

(Cue the Rocky theme), so in true Action Man 

fashion I jumped straight in, donned the gloves 

and entered the ring ready to join one of 

Suffolk Punch’s beginner classes. 

First off, was a rather intense warm up that really 

got the heart racing and the sweat flowing, 

followed by a run through the basics for the 

extreme novices like myself. 

We worked on our footwork and pacing, which 

goes hand in hand with the striking, but before 

that we had to learn to defend. You won’t last two 

seconds in the ring without moving and blocking 

right? So, we worked on some movement drills 

and it wasn’t too long before I was floating like a 

butterfly... now to sting like a bee. 

Working in pairs with some pads, and the 

watchful eye of coach Sara, we were taught the 

jab, cross and hook. We were also shown how 

the additional, bout winning power is delivered 

through the legs and the hips. Just like any sport 

brut strength will always lose out to technique, 

but you can easily pick up those techniques 

thanks to the excellent coaching and welcoming 

environment at Suffolk Punch Boxing Club. 

116


SPORT 

We finished our session with three rounds 

on their aqua bags, (a water filled punch bag 

designed to mimic the feeling of punching flesh, 

no Rocky-esk freezer full of meat was available), 

where we were able to put our 

new fancy footwork and striking 

skills to use, whilst learning about 

the endurance required. 

We covered lots of ground in our 

hour long session and I’m sure 

I’ll be back soon, I might even 

consider competing in one of 

Suffolk Punch’s regular charity 

boxing events. A twelve week training program 

will culminate in a three round bout, at a packed 

out Trinity Park, against an equally matched 

opponent for which you can attract sponsorship 

and raise funds for charity. 

Trials for the next round of charity boxers are on 

September 5 th with the event on November 24 th . 

For those just looking for a taster then join 

Suffolk Punch Boxing Club at the Grange Fitness 

and Performance Centre where your first week 

is free... 

• Rocky Rockets – 6-10 year olds 

• Junior Boxing - 11-16 year olds 

Beginner boxing (Tuesday, Thursday & Friday 

evenings) 

• Thump boxing – Boxing pad fitness class 

(Monday, Wednesday & Thursday evenings plus 

Saturday & Sunday mornings)

Action Man says: I’ve got a hunch that 

you’ll learn to crunch at Suffolk Punch.

THEATRE 

ROYAL 

September at Theatre Royal Bury St 

Edmunds has plenty to offer for fans 

of drama and emotionally charged 

storytelling, as well as some family 

fun to round off the month. 

There are more performances of Goodnight Mister Tom 

to catch this month, this heart-warming tale of friendship 

forged in a world at war continues. The war has just 

broken out and the life of Tom Oakley, an old man in the 

country, is about to change for the better. 

Having lived alone for 40 years, he 

reluctantly takes under his wing 

ten-year-old William, an evacuee 

from London. 

As William begins to soften Tom’s 

seemingly hardened exterior, 

an unspoken and unbreakable 

bond is formed. Roy Hudd leads 

the professional cast starring 

alongside participants of Theatre 

Royal’s Summer School project. 

Until 8 Sep. 

The Romany Theatre Company present Carmen – The 

Gypsy, when the outside world thinks you’re scum, can 

you ever be free? Carmen is in the midst of a scuffle 

at an illegal cage-fighting event when she is arrested 

by an undercover police officer. Carmen seduces him, 

persuading him to let her go, but his infatuation with 

her leads him to join the cage-fighting gang. Set in the 

contemporary British traveller community this poetic 

drama features forbidden love, original Gypsy folk songs 

and cage fighting. Thu 13 – Sat 15 Sep. 

London Classic Theatre return with My Mother Said I 

Never Should, a poignant, bittersweet story about love, 

jealousy and the price of freedom, set in Manchester, 

Oldham and London. Detailing the lives of four women, 

four generations of one family, through the immense 

social changes of the twentieth century, using a 

kaleidoscopic time structure. Mon 17 – Thu 20 Sep. 

As a fundraiser for Theatre Royal there is going to be An 

Audience with John Simpson CBE, the BBC World Affairs 

Editor, journalist, broadcaster, author and columnist is one 

of the world’s most authoritative journalists,

and work across a 50 year career. Fri 21 Sep. 

Scamp Theatre return to Theatre Royal 

with Private Peaceful, direct from London’s 

West End. Commemorating the 100th year 

anniversary of the end of World War One, 

this one-man show relives the life of Private 

Tommo Peaceful, a young soldier awaiting 

the firing squad at dawn. During the night he 

looks back at his short but joyful past growing 

up in rural Devon, as well as the battles and injustices of 

war that brought him to the front line. Tue 25 – 

Sat 29 Sep. 

Closing the month, Scamp Theatre are staying in 

residence with their production of Stick Man, a delightful 

adaptation of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s 

classic children’s book. This award-winning production

Archie’s 

Adventures 

PERKS OF BEING A COUNTRY DOG... 

Everyone says we are lucky to live in 

East Anglia… 

I have heard the expression ‘Suffolk skies’ 

used many times and listened to people share 

experiences about their time on the Norfolk 

broads. But, what are the perks for us furry 

friends? Well, I will tell you, here are a few of my 

favourite things to do in Norfolk and Suffolk. 

My top things to do: 

Visiting the beach… 

Dogs are allowed on most of the Coast’s 

beaches in Norfolk and Suffolk, however on 

many of the most popular stretches, there are 

restrictions over the summer months so best 

to look out for signs that give exact dates for a 

particular beach. A favourite beach of mine is 

Dunwich, which is dog friendly all year round. 

your 4-legged companion. Just up the coast near 

Woodbridge is National Trust Sutton Hoo where 

you can discover the story of the Anglo-Saxons 

at the burial ground of kings. Slightly inland 

and you will find Framlingham Castle. Steeped 

in nearly 1000 years of history, there’s loads to 

explore and dogs on leads are allowed in the 

grounds, oh, and Ed Sheeran loves it there too! 

Walks… 

From golden country fields to riverside 

footpaths, you are sure to find a walk or two 

ahead, perhaps with the odd dog friendly 

country pub to stop at along the way. This is by 

far my favourite thing to do! Have fun exploring! 

Follow me on Insta @official_archies_ 

adventures. You can also keep up to date with 

my antics on Twitter @bouncearchie. 

Boating on the broads… 

We are allowed too! Get afloat with your best 

friend; and enjoy a trip along the River Waveney 

or Norfolk Broads taking in the beautiful 

waterside scenery and looking out for some of 

the region’s rare wildlife. 

Take in the history… 

You can explore the history and architecture of 

Landguard Fort in Felixstowe in the company of
