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. 

Well, hello one and all, is that the 

sunshine I spy? 

New Look has some great styles and all 

under £25.00. 

You don’t need me to tell 

you our British weather 

can be a bit hit and miss. 

However, on the good 

days we are lucky to 

get jeans and t-shirt 

weather and I’ve found 

some little bargains in 

H&M, my favourite being 

a leopard print tee. They 

are only 3.99 so stock up. 

I also love the Denim styles out there 

again, to wear on those fairer days 

with some chunky pumps or trainers. 

I’ve also been wedding 

outfit shopping as we have 

three big ones this year 

to attend. I’m going for 

a 1940’s style with some 

beautiful headgear made 

for me by the amazing 

Lizzy Hall Millinery. I’m 

really looking forward 

to wearing them. 

Pretty Kitty Fashion 

has some beautiful 

dresses at the moment 

for weddings. Speaking of weddings… I 

have a lot of ladies my age contact me

about styling them for big events and 

weddings. 

This is something I might pursue this 

coming year so look out for my news 

about it over on the blog. 

I don’t know about you but I have to 

wear glasses. 

I need to share this find with you, I’ve 

found a company called ZeeLol online 

that have fantastic funky frames like 

the ones here. 

Get over and have a splurge, they 

have a great selection and I think 

glasses can be the cherry on the cake 

so get them right! 

I love these frames 

from ZeeLol online! 

In other news, I’m really excited to see 

there is a Mary Quant Exhibition at 

the V and A. 

Mary is my hair inspo so I must go. 

She was at the forefront of women’s 

fashion in the 60s and it will be a 

wonderful exhibit, tickets are £12.00, 

which I thought was brilliant. 

Whatever you’re doing this summer 

stay cool and stay stylish. Spend as 

little as possible and find your five key 

pieces. Keep it simple for the win. 

Mary Quant is my 

60s style icon! 

Stay stylish - Love Zee x

Cecil Amey... 

imaging test which uses retinal photography to check 

for other conditions. Lastly, I was offered a hearing 

test to check my basic hearing, a new service offered 

at Cecil Amey. 

Bounce Magazine were kindly invited along 

to visit independent Optician, Cecil Amey 

in Norwich, for an eye examination and 

hearing test, here’s what we thought… 

“It’s been a few years since my last eye test, so its 

fair to say I was well overdue a check up. 

I was instantly impresed with Cecil Amey’s 

promptness and customer service; warmly greeted 

at the shop front I was led downstairs to the 

examination area. 

After passing over a 

few personal details, 

I went straight in to 

the pre-test room 

to carry out some 

routine examinations. 

This included tests to 

check my long and 

short vision, one to 

measure the internal 

eye pressure, plus, 

a state of the art 

Having passed all of these tests, with little wait, I was 

handed over to the optician who then performed 

further thorough checks on my eyes. She asked me to 

read the classic sight chart and also investigated my 

eyes through a piece of examination equipment, 

using a bright light to check for other signs of eye 

damage. 

After explaining the full 

examination with me, on this 

occasion no prescription 

was needed. I was delighted, 

but at the same time I was 

looking forward to viewing all 

of their lovely eye wear in the 

showroom! 

As far as tests go this one was a breeze, not just 

because I passed, but because of the care and 

attention I received whilst I was there. It really was 

that easy”. 

Cecil Amey are the largest independent 

opticians in East Anglia. The company 

has 8 practices, employing over 55 members 

of staff including over 25 expert opticians 

and 4 members of the Amey family. 

You can book an appointment online at 

www.cecilameyopticians.co.uk and pick a 

practice that is close to you.

The Jockey Club Live and Newmarket 

Racecourses are delighted to announce 

the legendary NILE RODGERS & CHIC’s 

return to the July course, headlining 

the family-friendly Summer Saturday 

Live on Saturday 8th June 2019. 

Nile Rodgers is truly exceptional. He amplifies his 

legacy as a multiple GRAMMY-winning composer, 

producer, arranger and guitarist by constantly 

traversing new musical terrain and successfully 

expanding the boundaries of popular music. As 

the co-founder of CHIC, Rodgers pioneered a 

musical language that generated chart-topping 

hits like ‘Le Freak,’ sparked the advent 

of hip-hop with ‘Good Times,’ and 

won CHIC 11 Rock and Roll 

Hall of Fame nominations. 

His work in the CHIC 

Organization and his 

productions for artists 

like David Bowie 

(incl. ‘Lets Dance’), 

Diana Ross (incl. 

‘Upside Down’, 

‘I’m Coming Out’) 

and Madonna 

(incl. ‘Material 

Girl’, ‘Like A 

Virgin’) have 

sold over 300 

million albums and 

50 million singles 

worldwide while his 

innovative, trendsetting 

collaborations with 

Daft Punk, Avicii, Sigala, 

Disclosure and Sam Smith reflect 

the vanguard of contemporary music. 

Releasing their ninth studio album ‘It’s About 

Time’ in 2018, the release saw the band once 

again work the cream of the crop of the current 

music stars ranging from Mura Masa and Stefflon 

Don to Lady Gaga. 

Expect to hear some of the best-known pop 

anthems from the last four decades. With more 

than 200 production credits to his name, the 

scope of Nile Rodgers’ peerless influence is 

undeniable. 

Summer Saturday Live at Newmarket 

Racecourses is a day for the whole family, with 

Nile Rodgers & CHIC taking to the stage in 

the afternoon. There will be reduced priced 

children’s tickets aged 5-17 available when 

accompanied by a responsible adult of 18 or over, 

with children aged 4 and under are entitled to 

free admission. 

We speak to Nile about his upcoming 

performance at this years Newmarket Nights... 

YOU HEADLINED TWO RACECOURSE SHOWS 

LAST YEAR, AT SANDOWN PARK AND 

NEWMARKET, DID YOU ENJOY THE SHOWS? 

Yeah for sure, it was the first time we had done 

anything like that and it was great, it 

was so much fun for us that we 

insisted, ‘How do we get this 

again?!’ They were so cool! 

YOU’RE GOING TO 

BE RETURNING TO 

NEWMARKET FOR 

THE SUMMER 

SATURDAY LIVE 

EVENT WHICH 

IS IN THE 

AFTERNOON 

AND FAMILY- 

FRIENDLY. HOW 

DOES IT FEEL 

KNOWING THAT 

THERE WILL BE 

YOUNG FANS IN 

THE AUDIENCE 

HAVING THEIR 

FIRST EXPERIENCE 

OF A LIVE CONCERT? 

If I judge from what’s happened 

in the past, it’s wonderful! I’m always shocked 

at how many people know the music that 

I’ve worked on. It blows me away. I’ve been 

educated, I’ve been told they say ‘Of course 

this is my favourite song! It was in my favourite 

video game’, or favourite movie, and nowadays 

our music gets licensed and synched to so 

many other products, that we wind up getting 

a fanbase based on playlists that were created 

for this product or that product and its pretty 

amazing. 

IT’S THE SIGN OF THE TIMES AND THE DIGITAL 

AGE THAT WE’RE IN THAT THERE ARE SO

MANY NEW WAYS TO CONSUME AND DISCOVER 

MUSIC. 

I know and it almost makes me - sometimes 

I feel embarrassed because they’ll look at me 

like ‘How did you not know’ and I’m like well of 

course I licensed it but I didn’t know that it would 

create a fan of the song - I’m thinking you’re 

doing it because you like the movie. When you’re 

a traditional old school composer and people 

consume your music in new school ways – even 

though I’ve been around, and I’ve been a part of 

all of the different phases of it, I’m shocked at how 

much penetration and internalization happens 

as a result of a different platform when it comes 

to consuming music. It feels weird to me so I’m 

thrilled but its always somewhat a bit of a shock! 

BECAUSE YOUR MUSIC TRANSCENDS THE 

GENERATIONS, YOU CAN TOUR WITH CHER 

BUT THEN WORK WITH DUA LIPA – AND WITH 

DUA BREAKING THROUGH, HER EXPERIENCE 

OF THE INDUSTRY WOULD HAVE BEEN A VERY 

DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE TO YOURS. YOU’VE 

BEEN WORKING WITH HER AT ABBEY ROAD 

STUDIOS; HOW HAVE THOSE SESSIONS BEEN 

GOING AND HOW DID YOU FIRST MEET? 

Well I first met her at the Brits a couple of years 

ago. In the course of giving out awards, she got 

one and we had a good time and laughed and 

joked and she was terrific. It was all cool. You 

know when you just meet a person and like them 

and there’s a vibe that they have, and you don’t 

know where it’s going to go. But somehow, we got 

into a studio and she was like ‘I have been wanting 

to do this for a while now’. I said ‘Well, let me just 

show you what we do and how we do it’ and it 

was amazing. It was just so great because it was 

really going back to the way that we used to make 

records. Nowadays a lot of people make records 

just on your laptop, and that’s become the main 

way that people work. I guess she never went in 

and made a record with a live band and 

people who were just constructing it from the 

ground up. 

YOU’VE WORKED WITH SOME OF THE 

GREATEST VOCALISTS BUT YOU’VE ALSO 

COLLABORATED WITH PRODUCERS LIKE 

DISCLOSURE, AVICII, SIGALA – IS IT A 

CONSISTENT LEARNING CURVE AS EACH 

CREATOR WILL BRING SOMETHING NEW TO 

THE TABLE? 

That’s why it’s so wonderful, yes, every person 

does bring something new to the table and 

it’s a give and take. People who grow up in an 

environment where the gear is so powerful that 

it becomes a real creative assistant, it becomes 

a real tool for them. In the last few months I’ve 

worked with a lot of new writers - especially 

women artists - which is really amazing to me, 

because now they’re recording their own vocals, 

they’re doing their own tracks, they’re making 

their own beats, and its not just a little pocket of 

exceptionally talented girls, it’s a vibe now. I’ve 

been working with girls who couldn’t have been 

more than 19 years old and they’ve never put 

anything out, but somehow, I got introduced to 

them through some really cool people who said 

‘you’ve just gotta check it out they are really cool’. 

We get into the studio, we start chatting, we get 

to know each other, and next thing you know, we 

tackle the music. We have a job to do and we love 

it, we love doing it, and you have no idea just how 

fun it is to just create something from nothing. 

WHEN YOU’RE WORKING WITH BRAND NEW 

ARTISTS WHO HAVEN’T NECESSARILY HAD 

THAT MUCH EXPOSURE, THEY MUST BE KEEN 

TO LEARN FROM ONE OF THE GREATS! 

Believe me when I tell you it’s reciprocal! I wrote 

a song the other day, I wrote the bassline, and I 

said ‘you know what, before I go any further, I’m 

going to give this to these two young girls that I 

met the other day who just had a flare, for writing 

really cool melodies’ and it was very similar to 

when I met Avicii. I met him one night, he was 

already a big star, I went to see one of his shows, 

went backstage to meet him and it was a mutual 

connection almost right away. We booked studio 

time right away, a couple of weeks later, and we 

were friends up until his unfortunate ending. 

I’m just really impressed with the level of talent 

that’s out there in today’s world, and its because 

they’ve become so computer savvy when it comes 

to working with technical gear that they don’t 

have to spend all the years that I’ve spent going to 

music school and learning theory and so on. Most 

people that I know that are really really big stars 

don’t actually even understand the fundamentals 

of music theory, they are just somehow able to 

make great music because they can step on the 

gear and do what they need to create and it’s 

wonderful. 

TECHNOLOGY HAS MADE THE EXPRESSION 

OF MUSIC SO MUCH MORE ACCESSIBLE, IF

RODGERS 

SOMEONE DOESN’T HAVE THE THEORY BUT 

HAS A COMPUTER THEY CAN STILL BE HEARD. 

That’s exactly correct, I sort of think about it this 

way, if a person is in the room with a musical 

instrument, and they just have the desire to get 

something out of it, they’ll pick it up and start 

to figure something out – it may not be the 

traditional approach to that particular instrument 

but they will get something out of it because 

music does something to us. It creates a feeling 

inside of us that’s – you know, maybe I’m overly 

romantic – but it creates a feeling inside of us 

that’s so magical that once you experience that 

thing, and if it does that to you, you can’t help but 

want to keep doing it and keep doing it and then 

you get better and get better and next thing you 

know you wind up being a complete virtuoso and 

you go ‘oh my god, how do you have that guitar 

tuned?’ completely weird. Like, Ricky [Wilson], 

who was the main songwriter with the B-52s all 

those years ago with those weird tunings and 

stuff and you can only play those songs with 

those tunings! 

WITH YOUR ‘IT’S ABOUT TIME’ ALBUM; YOU 

CHAMPIONED SUCH A WEALTH OF BRITISH 

TALENT ON THERE FROM NAO TO EMELI 

SANDÉ AND CRAIG DAVID. AM I RIGHT IN 

SAYING THAT THAT ‘IT’S ABOUT TIME’ WAS 

CHAPTER ONE, AND YOU’RE WORKING ON A 

CHAPTER TWO TO ESSENTIALLY BRING IN THE 

NEW ERA OF CHIC? 

Yes. You have it exactly correct and also the fact 

that I am spending so much time at Abbey Road; 

that’s become sort of my new home base and I 

felt I wanted to paint a musical picture that’s a 

more accurate reflection of my current life. At 

first, I started out with a different concept, but I 

love working with these people and its just great. 

IS IT FAIR TO SAY THAT THE MUSIC OF BRITAIN 

IS GOING TO GET REFLECTED IN THE NEXT 

ALBUM AS A LOT OF IT WILL BE RECORDED 

HERE? 

You know, who knows what I’m going to be 

doing, but it has to on some level because I have 

already created some stuff that’s great! At least 

the music feels great to me. And also, what the 

Dua sessions have taught me, it’s re-taught me 

again how much fun we have when we just walk 

into the studio as a band, as Chic rhythm section 

and just go in and play. 

FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER 

BEEN TO A LIVE CHIC SHOW, WHAT CAN 

THEY EXPECT AND WHAT CAN THEY LOOK 

FORWARD TO WHEN THEY COME AND SEE 

YOU? 

I would just say, we really believe in having 

fun. Good times and happiness. What people 

have told us, not that we can’t control this, but 

people tell us that the happiness seems to last. 

In other words, after the show is over you’re still 

happy the next day! You’re still thinking about 

‘man we had a blast last week’. I see on social 

media sometimes, people say things like ‘my 

feet are still hurting from 2 weeks ago when I 

went dancing to CHIC all night.’ For me, at my 

age, having done so much music and have an 

audience really appreciate it, it blows me away. 

Honestly, at the time we did it we were just 

hoping to get a record in the charts and you’re 

hoping to get penetration into the market place 

and you’re hoping to get what we call a ‘hit 

record’, but you have no idea if it’s going to last. 

To me, I mean we were in the studio the other 

day with Rudimental and we were just laughing 

and joking and I said ‘you know what’s funny; 

I don’t think there’s anywhere I can go on the 

planet where I can’t go ‘1,2, aaaah’ and then 

they go ‘freak out’’. It’s the funniest thing. Every 

country.

Nothing beats swimming 

outdoors so why not visit the 

award winning Beccles Lido, 

the heated open-air swimming 

pool in Beccles, which reopens 

for the 2019 summer 

season on Saturday 25th May. 

The Lido has a slide, springboard, 

giant inflatable aquarun (daily 

lunchtime sessions), outdoor exercise 

equipment and a kiddies adventure 

play area. There are lots of grassy 

areas, sunloungers, tables and chairs 

to relax on as well as an all-weather 

eating and spectating area. By 

the River Waveney, the Lido enjoys 

stunning views across the river and 

the Waveney valley and its café serves 

hot and cold snacks, drinks and ices. 

Beccles Lido is perfect for a swim or 

family day out. Canoe Hire is also 

offered (advance bookings only).

patio. The toddler pools were also revamped. 

The Lido is now raising funds to refurbish, upgrade and reline 

the main pool. £300,000 has already been raised but 

a further £150,000 needs to be raised so that the project 

can commence when the Lido closes in September in time 

for 2020 season. If you would like to learn more about

Waveney with the opportunity to enjoy the wildlife enroute 

– otters, kingfishers and marsh harriers are all regular

Afraid of Flying – Top Tips for Staying Calm! 

The summer holidays are fast approaching 

which means for many of us it’s time to 

dig out the sunscreen from the back of the 

cupboard and jet off on holiday…but not 

everyone! 

Statistically Speaking... 

Statistically, flying is one of the safest forms of 

transport, you are more likely to die from heat 

exposure than a plane crash. But if you have a 

fear of flying, I imagine statistics don’t help much. 

A fear of flying can occur for all sorts of different 

reasons, from encountering a “bad flight” where 

there was severe turbulence, or an emergency 

landing, even experiencing something you found 

upsetting or unnerving onboard. It can also be 

connected to something completely unrelated 

to flying, such as claustrophobia or a traumatic 

event in your life. Everyone is different and no 

two reasons will be exactly the same. 

Tips that can Help... 

If you are afraid of flying or you just don’t find the 

experience very comfortable, here are a few tips 

to help you stay calm: 

Good Breathing Technique - I find the 7/11 

technique is a great technique because it’s 

simple (just make the outward breath longer 

than the inward breath) and it also helps induce 

your own bodies relaxation response. It will also 

help take your mind of the flight because if you 

are counting in your head you won’t be having 

unhelpful thoughts that could be feeding your 

anxiety or unease. 

Keep Focused on the Reason for your Flight - 

If you are going on holiday, think about all the 

things you would like to do whilst away, the 

quality time you will be spending with loved 

ones, the things you would like to do at your 

destination. Keep focused on the actual holiday, 

beyond the flight; in comparison, it’s just a few 

hours! 

Activities - Another way to keep the anxiety 

at bay is to be prepared with activities that 

keep you distracted, which will help stop your 

mind wondering back to unhelpful thoughts. 

Depending on your flight, some come with 

entertainment, others don’t, so make sure you are 

prepared. You may want to load your iPad with 

things to watch, a good book to read, or possibly 

a puzzle book. Choose whatever suits you, and 

that’s the key, to do something you enjoy.

NEW FEATURE 

Jacqui Sinclair 

Yoga Do’s and Dont’s 

Jacqui Sinclair has been 

teaching yoga in the Bury St 

Edmunds area for ‘ages’ and is 

keen to promote the benefits of 

a regular practice to all. 

This monthly piece will feature 

basic answers to some of the 

many YOGA comments and 

questions that get asked by 

beginners and pre-beginners 

alike! 

‘I am not very good at yoga’ – 

is a statement often heard in 

beginners classes. ‘How long 

does it take to get good at 

it?’ The practice of yoga isn’t 

about the pursuit of gymnastic 

replication of perfect shapes, no 

matter what insta may lead us 

to conclude(!), so it is helpful to 

let go of that as a measure of 

competence. 

A regular practice is more for 

the opportunity of honing and 

deepening our awareness and 

learning how to stay present. 

All the alignment and activation 

cues we may hear in class as 

there to ensure a safe practice, to 

lead us on a journey structured 

in a certain way to facilitate 

subtle and sometimes significant 

changes within us and to keep 

us present. 

Mindfulness in flow – a 

moving meditation. 

Those cues aren’t there to 

make us feel that if we aren’t 

doing something as we think we 

should, or that if we currently 

lack the flexibility or strength 

to make the same shape in the 

pose as someone else in the 

room that we are somehow 

failing at it. If you are regularly 

showing up to your mat, simply 

with an open and receptive 

mind, then you are very good at 

the starting point of the practice 

of yoga! 

Yoga is not about the outcome 

of success or failure – it is about 

the process of exploration 

– whatever that means to us 

individually - and to enhance 

our capacity to deepen our 

awareness within the pose, 

rather than just deepening the 

pose itself. 

We all come to our yoga mats 

with different starting objectives 

of what we may want to take 

from it, and each starting point 

is as valid as the next – it’s 

what yoga may offer us that 

we didn’t even know about 

is what is often revelatory. 

One of the most valuable of 

which being the opportunity 

to explore something without 

striving at perfection at it 

being a primary objective, or 

justification for doing it ! It can 

be a liberating experience to 

practice something without a 

goal of improvement in mind, 

and without judgement on 

perceived level of ability or 

competence. The practice can 

be it’s own point and purpose 

– life bends us out of shape 

in so many ways, so then we 

bend ourselves into many other 

shapes on our yoga mats to 

bring us back to a point of 

neutrality that we take of our 

mats and into daily life. Not a 

bad place to start with a bit of 

stretching - where the practice 

leads you next is all part of the 

exploration. NAMASTE!

Sick and tired of being in pain? 

Realigning the Atlas is like getting 

the foundations of a house laid 

correctly... when the support 

structure is in place, the rest of 

the vertebrae are aligned and fully 

functioning at their best. 

This analogy will help to understand the process: 

Fully qualified Harley Street Practitioner, visiting 

Bury St Edmunds 

“The Atlas is like the first link on a chain. If the 

first link is twisted, the rest of the chain will be 

twisted. If you undo it, the chain will straighten 

up”. 

Many years of clinical research have shown that 

the first cervical vertebra (C1) or atlas, is more or 

less malrotated from birth, in almost all humans. 

Traumas such as whiplash, slips and falls, or any 

sports injuries can push the atlas vertebra in an 

even worth position, and therefore be the cause 

of many health problems. 

“I would definitely recommend this to anyone 

who suffer back and shoulder pain, even sinus 

problems. It has been over 3 months now pain 

free and sinus unblocked” - T.B - London 

The treatment for this misalignment is called 

AtlasPROfilax® and is practised by Marie- 

Agnes Casalini, Harley Street Practitioner, 

visiting Suffolk, certified to the highest level 

AtlasPROfilax®. 

“After countless visits to an osteopath and a 

chiropractor, with only minor and temporary 

improvement to my stiff and twisted neck and 

torso, I discovered MarieAtlas and had the 

AtlasProfilax treatment. I could not have been in 

better hands as Marie-Agnes is kind, gentle and 

caring, though the treatment is uncomfortable, 

it is bearable and doesn’t take long. My pelvis 

straightened out almost immediately and 

my neck is getting better every day. Yes it’s 

expensive, but worth every penny”! - M.A 

AtlasPROfilax® is a very safe, natural, non-invasive 

method which was developed by the Swiss 

Renée-Claudius Schümperli between 1993 and 

1996, after years of study, now recommended by 

Chiropractors and Osteopaths. 

The malrotation of the atlas vertebra can be 

accurately and safely corrected by the unique 

AtlasPROfilax® method with only one application. 

The application requires two scheduled 

appointments with Marie, firstly for the treatment 

and then a follow up appointment.

A Mountain To 

Climb... 


BY RALPH OATES 

A series of articles which will feature boxing facts 

from both the past to the present... 

Alan Rudkin was a world class 

bantamweight who during his 

career won the British, European 

and Commonwealth titles. 

The said list of titles held by 

Rudkin more than confirmed 

that he had a very successful 

professional career. However 

the championship which Rudkin 

strongly desired was the one 

which eluded him the world title. 

It seemed that the Liverpool 

fighter was not fated to add 

the global crown to his name. 

Rudkin who was born on the 

28th November 1941 had three 

attempts to win world honours 

each time against outstanding 

champions. To make his task 

even harder was the fact that 

he had to venture into the title 

holder’s country. In truth Rudkin 

had a mountain to climb in each 

title bid. 

Rudkin’s first attempt to win the 

championship took place on the 

30th November 1965 against 

the reigning title holder Fighting 

Harada at the Nippon Budokan 

in Tokyo Japan. Rudkin was 

considered the underdog in the 

contest and it was viewed that 

he would leave the land of the 

rising sun a well beaten fighter. 

However the British challenger 

surprised many by pushing the 

champion hard and did not 

look out of his league in his 

title bid. Rudkin lost a 15 round 

points decision but in so doing 

received a great deal of praise 

for his impressive showing in 

the contest. Harada was also a 

former world flyweight king. 

After rebuilding by getting 

more solid victories under his 

belt Rudkin was given another 

shot at the title. Once again 

Rudkin had to pack his suitcase 

and get his passport ready to 

travel. This time the destination 

was Australia where he crossed 

gloves with the then champion 

Lionel Rose at the Kooyong 

Tennis Stadium in Melbourne 

Australia. The bout took place 

on the 8th March 1969. Rose 

was a clever boxer who had 

produced the goods to take the 

title from Fighting Harara on the 

27th February 1968 with a shock 

15 round points victory at the 

Nippon Budokan. Rose was no 

easy touch and was not likely to 

surrender his crown easily to the 

visitor from the UK. Some boxing 

pundits were optimistic feeling 

that Rudkin’s trip down under 

might well prove successful 

since he had the boxing skills 

to topple the champion by 

outpointing him over the 

scheduled 15 rounds. Rudkin 

performed well often giving 

the champion a few worrying 

moments during the exciting 

encounter. Rose however proved 

to be a worthy title holder and 

much to the disappointment of 

UK fans retained his crown on 

points and also won the Briton’s 

Commonwealth title which at 

the time was also on the line. 

A third opportunity to win the 

crown took place on the 12th 

December 1969 when Rudkin 

met Mexico’s Ruben Olivares 

at the Forum Inglewood in 

California USA. Olivares had 

ripped the championship from 

Rose with a devastating display 

of punching power stopping 

the Australian in five rounds of 

a slated 15 on the 22nd August 

1969 at the Forum. It was clear 

from the first bell that Rose was 

not going to last the distance 

with his challenger. Olivares 

was considered to be very 

special a potential great and 

few if any gave Rudkin a chance 

of lasting the full 15 rounds let 

alone win the world crown. The 

pessimism proved to be correct 

when Rudkin was easily stopped 

in two rounds by the powerful 

Olivares. 

On the 25th January 1972 Rudkin 

had his last professional fight 

against Johnny Clark whom 

he outpointed over 15 hard 

rounds to retain his British and 

Commonwealth bantamweight 

titles in a crowd pleasing affair 

at the Royal Albert Hall in 

Kensington London. Rudkin 

thus bowed out on a winning 

note against Clark a good 

competitor who had no quit in 

him. During his paid career in 

the ring Alan had an impressive 

record of 50 contests winning 

42 and losing eight. Rudkin was 

a well respected fighter who 

served boxing well during his 

time in the ring. Rudkin was 

awarded the MBE in 1973 an 

honour he richly deserved. Alan 

sadly passed away on the 22nd 

September 2010 at the age of 68 

years 9 months and 25 days.

A Trip Through Time is published

Pregnancy Nutrition... 

A healthy pregnancy diet will promote 

your baby’s growth and development. 

Rachel Ducker enlists the expert advice of Carrie Temple, 

Nutritional Therapist. 

“One thing I have learnt is that being pregnant is not easy, 

everything changes from your hormones, to your appetite 

and body appearance. 

I am one of those unlucky women who have suffered with 

morning sickness most of the way through, not so much 

being sick but feeling nauseous 24/7! 

Luckily things have started to change for me over the 

last month since I have enlisted the help of nutritional 

therapist Carrie Temple. 

The great thing is you can speak to Carrie wherever you 

are in the world. Our first consultation was via Sykpe. We 

spent a good hour talking about my daily food intake, 

past medical history, things I’d been experiencing during 

my pregnancy and her recommendations for me. 

Carrie recommended a range of vitamins that would be 

great for me during and post pregnancy, these ones are 

already broken down so that your body doesn’t have 

to do it. What I didn’t know was that some people can’t 

actually break down certain vitamins, so if you think you 

are taking good ones… you may not be. 

After our consultation she emailed 

me various recipe suggestions and 

information regarding certain food types 

I should be including, which was really 

helpful and great for general inspiration. 

One month on and I am feeling much 

better. The morning sickness has 

reduced, I have more energy and I am 

even starting to incorporate a little 

exercise back into my routine, something 

I didn’t think would happen again for a 

long time, (whilst I laid passed out on the 

sofa)! My headaches have disappeared 

and I feel really healthy. 

I am continuing to speak to Carrie 

throughout my pregnancy so I really feel 

like I have someone there to support and 

guide me. 

After all, as a new mummy to be, all I 

want is to give my baby the very best of 

starts and it starts with what you put in 

to your own body first.”

AN INTERVIEW WITH: 

BOW & 

RATTLE 

Be practical without compromising on style... 

We speak to Caragh O’Driscoll, 

founder of Bow and Rattle, about 

her selection of Luxury Baby 

Changing Bags. 

1. How did you come up with the 

idea for these beautiful bags? 

It began when my friends started 

having babies. Everyone was 

excited picking their changing bag 

as it was the one item that was 

all about them as opposed to the 

baby. It soon became clear they 

were struggling to find their perfect 

bag. In retrospect it seems obvious 

that there was a large gap in the 

mid-price range for a bag that 

looked as stylish and expensive as 

the top end leather ones but at the 

same time as practical as one would 

want. My passion for style and 

design incorporated with my love of 

business made it the perfect match. 

I went about creating the dream 

bags that merged practicality with 

stylish design. And so Bow & Rattle 

was born. 

2. What inspired you? 

I took inspiration from everywhere 

I could. I got a lot of my ideas from 

a trip I took to Milan, the heart of 

fashion where I went to the Mipel 

design show. I knew my designs had 

to be classic and timeless as these 

bags needed to last and work with 

every outfit so I looked at brands 

that I knew did it well. I spent lots of 

time researching the stitching, zips, 

textures and metal hardware of the 

bags and incorporated elements I 

loved into my design to give them 

that luxury feel. 

3. Whats your favourite bag from 

your collection? 

It would have to be the Rosie. I 

adore the faux leather, it’s so soft 

and expensive looking. I’m going 

through a face of Spanx leather 

leggings and cosy knits and I’m 

using the black one right now which 

works so well with this look. I get so 

many compliments on it and people 

can’t believe when they find out 

it’s a changing bag. It feels good as 

I know I’ve done what I set out to 

achieve when I hear that! 

4. Each bag has a name can you 

tell us more about this? 

I lost my own mum Heather when I 

was six years old. It was just myself 

and my Dad growing up. He has 

always been an entrepreneur and at 

the time when it happened, he was 

in the middle of trying to set up a 

new business to be able to support 

us. As all entrepreneurs know 

it’s a fairly full-on experience so I 

was blessed that so many of the 

wonderful females in my family and 

friends of my mum’s stepped in and 

all played an incredibly important 

49 49 

role in bringing me up. Each one in 

their own way contributed so much 

to my life and getting me where I 

am today; and so as a small way 

of thanks it only felt right to name 

each style of bag after one of them. 

5. What makes your bags 

different? 

Having a nice changing bag is 

so important. However, just as 

important as style was to me I also 

wanted to ensure functionality 

wasn’t lost. We also include a set of 

our beautiful Milestone cards so you 

can treasure every memory of your 

little one’s first year! 

6. Do you have any new designs 

coming out this year? 

We do; we are always in design 

mode! The new designs are under 

wraps for now but will be launching 

later in the second half of this year!

Method 

1. Preheat the grill and a griddle pan to 

medium-high. Put the chicken breasts 

between 2 sheets of clingfilm and bash with 

a rolling pin to an even thickness. 

Get ready for summer... 

This Spanish-inspired chicken recipe 

makes a great summer salad. Juicy, 

griddled chicken sits on a zesty orange 

and chilli-dressed green salad, all served 

with a classic Spanish side of garlic-rubbed 

tomato bread. 

Serves 4 

15 mins to prepare and 15 mins to cook 

370 calories / serving 

Healthy 

Ingredients 

• 300g chicken breast fillets, halved 

widthways 

• 3 1/2 tbsp olive oil 

• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika 

• 2 oranges, zested, peeled and sliced 

• 1/2 tbsp white wine vinegar 

• 1 tsp clear honey 

• 120g bag mixed leaf salad 

• 1/2 cucumber, halved and finely sliced 

• 1 red chilli, deseeded and finely sliced 

• 1 white baton, sliced into 8 rounds 

• 4 garlic cloves, peeled 

• 4 loose vine tomatoes (about 320g) 

2. Coat the chicken in 1/2 tbsp oil and the 

paprika. Griddle for 5 mins each side or until 

cooked through, then remove from the pan, 

cover with foil and set aside to rest. 

3. Meanwhile, whisk half the orange zest 

with 2 tbsp olive oil, the vinegar and honey. 

Season and set aside. Divide the salad 

leaves between 4 plates. Top with the 

orange slices, cucumber and chilli. 

4. Toast both sides of the bread under the 

grill until golden. Drizzle with the remaining 

olive oil, then rub with the garlic cloves. 

Halve the tomatoes and grate coarsely until 

you are only left with the skin. Discard the 

skin, then spoon the flesh onto the toasts; 

season to taste. 

5. Slice the chicken and place on top of 

the salad. Drizzle with the orange dressing, 

scatter with the reserved orange zest and 

serve with the tomato bread. 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: 

Tip: Remove the peel with knife or orange 

peeler. Gently rolling the orange between your 

hands will loosen the peel and make peeling 

much easier.

Tex-Mex 

baked veggie 

frittata 

This quick and easy frittata is 

made with roasted red peppers, 

spring onions and punchy pickled 

jalapeños. This vibrant vegetarian 

meal makes for great leftovers to 

brighten up lunchtime at work. 

1. Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. 

Oil and line a 23cm round cake or deep 

flan tin with baking paper – scrunch up the 

paper a few times so it becomes pliable, 

then push into the bottom of the tin. Fry 

the spring onion in 1 tbsp olive oil in a small 

pan until tender. Add the spinach and 

cook until wilted, turning up the heat to 

evaporate any excess liquid, then season 

and cool slightly. 

2. Put the soft cheese in a bowl, beat until 

soft, then gradually whisk in the eggs, add 

lots of seasoning, then stir in the spinach 

mix, cheddar, jalepeños, peppers and 

coriander. Pour into the lined tin and bake 

for 12-15 minutes or until puffed, lightly 

golden and just set. Serve with flatbreads 

and chilli sauce, if you like. 

Ingredients 

• spring onions 4, finely chopped 

• olive oil 1 tbsp, plus extra 

• spinach 100g, chopped 

• soft cheese 3 tbsp 

• eggs 6 

• cheddar 50g, finely grated 

• sliced pickled jalapeños 2 tbsp, 

drained and chopped 

• roasted red peppers from a jar, 

2, diced 

• coriander a handful, chopped 

• soft flatbreads to serve 

• chilli sauce to serve, (optional)

The Muscat 

Grape 

There are many grapes referred to as of the Muscat variety but all belong to 

the Vitis Vinifera species. 

Although the 200 varieties called Muscat have 

the same name , there are only a few that are 

closely related to each other. 

BY ‘WINE BUFF’ FRED FISHER 

Some believe that it was around between 

3000 and 1000 BC and others think it was 

between 800 and 600 BC. There is evidence 

that it was known at 1230, 1240 and 1372 when 

it was described as wine madefrom it as Vin 

extrait de raisins muscats. 

How the name Muscat came about also has 

many theories, mostly Persian, Greek or even 

French origin. It could have been from the 

Greek city of Moschato where the name is 

common for muscat varieties. 

The most important four concerned with 

wine making are :- 

Muscat Blanc a Petit Grains 

Muscat of Alexandria 

Muscat of Hamberg 

Muscat Ottonel 

Characteristic Aromas... 

The most common description is one of 

‘Grapey’. Many other varieties can be thought 

to be Muscat because they have hints of that 

grape or raisin nose. However they are not 

related. 

Muscat Blanc a Petit Grains... 

As the name suggests it is composed of 

very small berries. Makes a wide range of 

56 

May 2019.indd 56 16/04/2019 18:21

FOOD & DRINK 

MAY 2019 MAY | ISSUE 2019 #79 | ISSUE | FOOD #79 & DRINK 

wine from dry to sweet and especially sweet 

sparkling like Asti Spumante in Italy. In France 

it is seen as Muscat de Beaume de Venise 

from the Rhone, Muscat St Jean de Minervois 

and Muscat de Frontignon. 

It is also found as Liqueur Muscat in 

Rutherglen Australia. Furthermore in 

Constantia South Africa it is acclaimed 

Muscat of Alexandria... 

Compared to Muscat a Petit Grains these 

berries are much larger and are used not only 

in wine but also as table grapes or raisins 

when dried. It appears that by DNA analysis 

its origin is not necessarily Egyptian but more 

a crossing coming from Greece and 

wine produced in Italy and Malta 

prove that. 

Besides Italy it is used in 

France by blending it with 

Muscat a Petit Grains to 

make Muscat de Rivesaltes, a 

Vin du Naturel. 

In South Africa it is called the 

Hanepoot, in Spain the Moscatel. A 

lot is planted in California making Jug wine 

in particular ans was at one time common for 

Raisins although nowadays seedless varieties 

are mostly used. 

Muscat of Hamburg... 

Although most of the Muscat grapes are dark 

or pale skinned the main exception is the 

Muscat of Hamburg. 

This is dark skinned and is said to have 

originated in English greenhouses. While 

this grape is used mostly as a table grape, 

California uses bit to make dessert wine and 

crossed with Vitis Aumerensis to make wine. 

Muscat Ottonel... 

This grape is a relatively recent addition to 

the Muscat family. It started in the Loire Valley 

in the 1850’s. It is a cross between the Swiss 

grape Chasselas and Muscat de Saumur. It is 

the palest of the Muscats, producing neutral 

wines and also ripens the earliest. 

While other varieties of the Muscat grape like 

the Muscat of Alexandria thrive better on 

warmer climates Muscat Ottonel can 

cope with cooler conditions that 

exist in countries such as Russia, 

Bulgaria, Romania, the Czech 

Republic etc. 

It is the primary Muscat variety 

in Alsace France, where it is used 

to make dry and off dry wines of 

high quality. In Austria too it produces 

sweet late-harvest wines. 

The Muscat grape is often thought of as 

being used mostly for sweetish wines and 

particularly for Asti, the very successful 

sparkling wine from Italy, juicily sweet and 

great with Desserts. However it is also 

successful at producing other sweet dessert 

wines such as Riversaltes and Rutherglen as 

just two examples. 

Conclusions... 

Do have a look into the dry versions especially the ones from Alsace. Yet another Bucket list 

of wines to try - Happy drinking!

BARSHAM 

BARNS 

By Rachel Ducker 

Just a short drive from the North 

Norfolk coastline, set in the valleys of 

the countryside, sits Barsham Barns, 

a set of luxury holiday cottages, once 

former stables, which have been 

lovingly restored. 

There are six farm buildings, all different in 

style and size– sleeping anything from four to 

14 people. 

The Great East is the largest 

of the properties and was 

once a 19th century granary 

and sits in a tranquil river 

valley. It’s ideal for large 

groups and has an open 

plan living space. 

High Barsham is decorated 

with Bronze lanterns and coloured glass 

illuminate modern furnishings. It also comes 

with a south-facing walled courtyard garden 

for added privacy. 

Grey’s Court is a very spacious single-storey 

brick and flint building. 

The generously proportioned main rooms 

have a cool Scandinavian mood, decorated in 

relaxing shades of blue and green for a calm 

and comfortable atmosphere.

Long Meadow was most recently the milking 

parlour and, dating from 1715, is the oldest 

property on the farm. It has a large oakbeamed 

sitting room with views across the 

courtyard garden to the lovely Stiffkey valley 

beyond. 

Little Barsham is the smallest of the buildings; 

in the past it was used for rearing lambs 

and sheltering sheep. It has an intimate 

rural atmosphere, with exposed beams and 

contemporary design touches. 

Finally, the latest of the properties is the 

Loose Box, a cosy cottage decorated in soft 

chalky colours inspired by the beautiful North 

Norfolk coastal palette. 

The verdict… 

Whether you want to relax and recharge or 

get out and explore all options are covered. 

Barsham Barns is perfectly situated to explore 

the depths of Norfolk at your own pace.

Look on the 

BRIGHT SIDE! 

For Christmas last year I 

got a daily calendar with a 

motivational quote to read 

each morning. 

BY RUBY REED 

I love it so much - its 

almost better than 

an advent one… 

almost. 

But seriously its packed with 

wise sayings, uplifting truths 

- just little sentences to that 

effect. 

I want to preach how important looking on the 

bright side of things is, so I hope this hits the spot! 

It’s the easiest thing in the world to focus on the 

little things that are not quite perfect or are not 

going our way at the moment. 

But this is a terrible outlook and very unbeneficial. 

For example, during a standard day there are 

always highs and lows. 

It’s great to start the day 

with, or end if I forget first 

thing! 

And always puts a new 

perspective on whatever’s 

happening. 

Often we can wish something hadn’t happened or 

we had done something differently, but why dwell 

on those when we could be happy about the thing 

we did so well or achieved either side of that. 

A saying I have come to like is - ‘A minute spend 

unhappy is a minute you can never get back’. 

74

MAY 2019 MAY | 2019 ISSUE | ISSUE #79 | #79 LIFESTYLE 

Of course, its impossible 

to live every second 

like this, but its worth 

reminding ourselves once 

in a while isn’t it? 

I remember an outing as 

a child. My grandparents 

had taken me and my 

brother somewhere, now 

I really can’t remember 

where but some sort of 

gardens, I think. 

At the end of the day on 

our walk back to the car 

we were rating the day. 

A comment that has 

always stuck with me was 

that of grandads - ‘The 

day couldn’t be marked 

any lower than a 5 if we’re all fit and 

healthy’ (Or at least something very 

similar, this was over 15 years ago now). 

Well, I think he’s right don’t you?

MAY 2019 MAY | ISSUE 2019 | #79 ISSUE | #79 HISTORY 

George Grenville Baker 

A Tormented Poet... 

George Granville Barker 

was born in Loughton, 

Essex in 1913; the elder 

brother of painter Kit 

Barker. Raised by his Irish 

mother and English father 

in Battersea, London. 

He was educated at an L.C.C. 

school and later at Regent 

Street Polytechnic. He 

had many odd jobs before 

becoming a writer. 

During the last decade few 

have read of him, the majority 

of his work is out of print, and 

very little of him has been 

mentioned in literary histories. 

This is unacceptable for a 

writer who was passionate, 

intellectually challenging and 

highly original. At the young 

age of 22, Barker was known 

as a literary phenomenon. 

Whilst T.S. Eliot declared him 

a genius Yeats claimed him 

the finest poet of the times. 

George was a drinker, 

womaniser and a user of 

Benzedrine. A fraudulent 

estate agent stole his entire 

savings leaving him without 

a fixed address. He was 

part of the bohemian crowd 

in London’s Soho and he 

fathered 15 children by four 

different women. 

His life was somewhat violent 

with friends and lovers and 

one argument led him to hit 

his friend over the head with 

a shovel, a partner threw an 

ashtray at him and broke 

his teeth and another bit his 

upper lip where he required 

40 stitches. His poems, read 

on the BBC Third Programme, 

were criticised for obscenity, 

and he always liked to cause 

outrage. After a period of 

thirty years he told a priest 

during confession that he had 

broken every commandment 

except the sixth, ‘thou shalt 

not kill’. 

For the last 24 years of his 

life he settled with second 

wife Elspeth at Bintree House 

Itteringham, near the River 

Bure 15 miles from Norwich. 

It was purchased with 

help from novelist Graham 

Green. Elspeth wrote about 

the property in her essay 

‘Thoughts in a Garden’. 

George was never asked by 

the University of East Anglia 

to take a single class in the 

creative writing course, 

and Elspeth stated that her 

husband did nothing to 

promote himself. 

In 1969 whilst visiting All 

Saints Church in Thurgarton 

near his home, George wrote 

one of his best poems ‘At 

Thurgarton Church’ about his 

fear of Judgement day. 

George Granville Barker 

is buried at St Mary’s 

Churchyard, Itteringham. 

His headstone states: 

‘No Compromise’. This was 

erected by a bank robber that 

George befriended, and it 

became a saying that George 

used many times in a life that 

was as extraordinary as his 

writings. 

The last part of ‘At Thurgarton 

Church’ by George Grenville 

Baker. 

I hear the old bone in me 

cry and the dying spirit call: 

I have forfeited all and once 

and for all must die and this is 

a that I know. 

For now, in a wild way we 

know that justice is served 

and that we die in the clay we 

dread, desired, and deserved, 

awaiting no Judgement Day.

Skin care expert Geraldine Walters gives the low 

down on the A-Z of what’s in your bottles... 

[D] DMAE (dim-ethyl-amino-ethanol)... 

Not exactly a name that trips 

off the tongue but of huge 

importance to your health. 

Those of you who are keen 

on supplements may have 

come across it as a pill in your 

local health shop. Here’s the 

lowdown: 

If you’ve heard of fish referred to as 

brain food, you can thank DMAE. 

face lifting and skin tightening effect. 

DMAE is a natural compound in our 

body. Keratinocytes (they make the 

keratin protein for hair, nails and skin) 

fibroblasts (they’re cells to produce 

connective tissue such as collagen) 

and sweat cells amongst others have 

membrane receptors and respond to 

acetylcholine. 

The tensing effect of DMAE is due to the 

stimulation of fibroblasts. 

This substance is naturally produced in 

the brain, but DMAE is also present in 

anchovies, salmon, and sardines. 

DMAE boosts the production of 

acetylcholine, which is important for 

proper mental functions. 

DMAE in skincare is the ultimate firming 

and anti-wrinkle treatment, it’s often 

used externally to produce an extreme 

It can also protect neurons and other 

cells from harmful effects of certain 

types of oxidation by embedding itself 

in the structure of the cell and acting 

as an anti-oxidant so it works wonders 

along a good dose of Vitamins C and E. 

So it’s often found in various face and 

body creams, and can tighten and tone 

skin quality if it’s in a form that can 

permeate the outer layers of the skin

HAIR & BEAUTY 


This allows the product to penetrate and 

set to work immediately. 

Mixed with hyaluronic acid we can get 

a smoother, firmer and plumper skin 

using naturally occurring products. 

In brief this wonder ingredient reduces 

the appearance, depth and length of 

fine lines and wrinkles and reduces or 

prevents DNA damage and when taken 

internally it can increase creativity, 

memory, concentration and improve 

energy. 

and get to the cells where it works. 

As ageing progresses, the amount of 

acetylcholine slows down and the only 

way to produce more is to increase the 

amount of acetylcholine, taking DMAE 

daily internally and externally will result 

in greater looking skin. 

Studies show that it decreases anxiety 

and boost the feel-good hormones and 

reduces the amount of sleep that the 

body might need. Nothing fishy about 

that. 

The favoured method of applying DMAE 

for skincare therapists is using it in a 

solution for skin needling. 

This sounds dramatic but just means the 

therapist uses a roller with tiny needles, 

or an electronic pen device, to break the 

surface of the skin.

Preparing For Summer... 

1HG 

With my holiday starting in just 

a few weeks, I popped to SK to 

prepare my body for exposure 

to the Mexican skies. 

Recently, I experienced some wonderful 

Pevonia body wraps. I’m torn between 

the Green Coffee and Stem Cells as my 

personal favourite. Both were great for 

improving the look and feel of my skin, 

and I love anything that targets cellulite. 

I’d heard wonderful things about 

Pevonia’s Saltmousse so booked myself 

in for the Saltmousse-Glow Full Body 

Exfoliation Treatment. This is an antiageing 

product that refines the skin. 

French sea salt and organic fruit extracts, 

enriched in pro-vitamin A and carrot 

seed oil, recreate a seawater experience. 

Increased negative ions are released for 

a healthier body and softer skin. I knew I 

was in for a treat! 

Within the warm and welcoming 

treatment room, the lights are low and 

the music relaxing. My entire body 

received the fruity polish – feet, legs, 

arms, hands, stomach, chest, shoulders 

and back. The Saltmousse itself doesn’t 

feel abrasive but, when combined with 

warm water, quite gentle on the skin. The 

salts transform into a mousse-like texture. 

Once complete, I rinsed off the delicious 

smelling product in the shower, before 

De-Ageing Body Balm was applied to the 

same areas. 

Exfoliation isn’t always relaxing, but this 

was as far removed from the Turkish 

Bath scrubs as it could be! My skin was 

left feeling soft, smooth, wonderfully 

hydrated and tropically scented. The dry 

patches around my elbows, knees and 

ankles had gone and I feel ready to hit 

the beach. 

I can have a similar experience at home 

too, as I have purchased Pevonia’s 

Papaya & Pineapple De-Ageing 

Saltmousse.

many products, so in this edition I thought it 

would be nice to recap on my top five. 

Skin care: I love a good water cleanser, brilliant 

those on the go. Check out Dior’s Hydra life 

range. It detoxifies the skin from the inside 

out. Keeping with Dior, their Hydra Life Sorbet 

moisturiser is great for any age and any skin type. 

It soaks into your skin leaving it feeling light and 

refreshed. 

Primer: I fell in love with the “This Works” 

primer. The ‘In Transit Camera Close 

Up’ cream is a moisturiser, mask 

and primer, it also helps minimise 

pores. Trust me when I say 

you will not regret purchasing 

this; no more topping up your 

makeup with this magic in a 

cream. 

Base: I have two favourite 

foundations, one being Giorgio 

Armani’s ‘Luminous Silk’, a medium 

coverage giving a silky luminosity to your 

complexion. The other is one I have been using 

for over a decade and always go back to, Dior’s 

Forever Foundation. They have just reformulated 

it so you can choose between a matte or glow 

finish. I am still a YSL Touché Eclat lover! Use it 

under the eyes to bounce the light off, giving the 

look of a brighter lighter under eye. 

Mascara: I love Dior’s Lash Maximiser followed by 

Dior’s Diorshow Mascara really is a winning pair! 

I’ve even been asked before if I was wearing false 

lashes so that says it all! 

Lips: There are so many products I love, but D&G 

Cream Colour in Devil Red has to be my favourite, 

a classic pure red which lasts so long. Another 

red I have fallen for is ‘Ciate’s’ Jessica Rabbit 

Lipstick, the sparkle is Devine! I can’t forget Kat 

Von D’s Liquid Lipsticks, these come in a great 

range from Nudes to wow green lips! 

For the finishing touch I must quote Christian 

Dior, “Perfume is the indispensable 

complement to the personality of women, 

the finishing touch on a dress’. 

I cannot leave this without mentioning 

perfume, I am more likely to leave the 

house without makeup than without a 

good scent. 

A few of my favourites are Givenchy’s 

Amarige, Dior’s Pure Poison and Miss 

Dior. Find your signature scent or scents and 

everyone will remember you by it! Smell is one of 

the biggest triggers for 

memory.

Will you make the switch to a natural deodorant? 

There is a lot of scepticism 

surrounding natural deodorant 

with the biggest question being 

‘Will it be as effective as my 

usual deodorant?’. 

I had the same worries and have tried 

numerous different brands and types 

of deodorant to find a solution that 

suited me. It’s important to remember 

that we are all different and what works 

for one may not be right for another. 

Antiperspirant v Deodorant... 

Antiperspirant and deodorant can easily be 

confused, so let’s debunk the myth; 

An antiperspirant is designed to prevent body 

odour and prevent the body perspiring. 

A deodorant allows the body to sweat naturally 

and simply prevents body odour from occurring. 

Sweat by itself does not smell. Body 

odour only occurs when our natural 

skin bacteria starts to breakdown 

sweat particles. Our body needs 

to breath and sweating is a natural 

part of that we shouldn’t block 

our pores and halt our natural 

body processes. A good deodorant 

will inhibit the growth of odour 

causing bacteria and allow sweat to 

evaporate naturally. Leaving no awkward 

moments. 

84 

May 2019.indd 84 16/04/2019 18:16

HAIR & BEAUTY 


Why make the switch?... 

Many conventional antiperspirant and deodorants contain 

harsh chemicals which can disturb the microbiome layer 

of your skin potentially causing irritations. Sweat ducts 

and lymph nodes can become blocked as Lymphatic fluid 

stagnates and disrupts the natural perspiration process. 

These products often contain Parabens and Aluminium 

Chlorohydrate which have long been reported to have 

a potential link with Cancer. When choosing your next 

deodorant look out for harmful ingredients such as 

synthetic chemicals like parabens, triclosan or Aluminium 

Chlorohydrate. 

On a personal level I now find that if / when I do sweat I 

don’t actually smell whereas previously once the sweat 

had broken the antiperspirant barrier it did not mask the 

smell. In my experience natural deodorants seems to last 

much longer than their mainstream alternatives. Previously I 

would purchase a deodorant once every 4-6 weeks now it’s 

3-6 months! So although many natural options may appear 

more expensive their quality and value is often much better. 

Effectiveness of a natural deodorant... 

The concern about a natural deodorant being less effective 

than a conventional option is still prevalent but I feel that 

there are so many options on the market now that are 

absolutely brilliant and certainly rival, if not are better than, 

conventional mainstream options. Having tried many types 

of natural deodorant across a variety of brands I’ve found a 

few key products that I absolutely love and work really well 

for me. As with anything our bodys are very intuitive and 

can easily get used to one product. For me it’s all about 

variety, I will alternate between a couple of different brands 

to ensure my deodorant is always effective for me. 

on or spray from Salt of the Earth in a Melon 

and Cucumber will leave me feeling fresh all 

day long. Both are incredibly effective and 

even when I do sweat, I feel assured that I 

never smell. 

The transition... 

While making the switch over to natural 

deodorant your body may need to cleanse 

itself of the chemical build up from 

conventional products which may mean you 

see a rash or irritation under your arms from 

time to time or you sweat more than normal. 

Stick with your natural deodorant and you 

will notice that you body adjusts in 1-2 weeks. 

Some don’t experience this at all and it’s a 

smooth transition but it’s worth sticking with 

it and not giving up straight away. 

Natural deodorants is a huge topic which 

throws up many questions - if this article 

has sparked any questions for you please do 

get in touch. I’m happy to talk through my 

experiences and offer recommendations.

Written by Sarah Gare. 

What are my options?... 

When it comes to choosing the right type of deodorant 

this is definitely down to personal preference and there are 

many choices out there such as: 

• Sprays (non aerosol) 

• Roll-on gel 

• Creams (tub or roll-on) 

• Crystal Sticks (made of mineral salt) 

Your choices will depend on your lifestyle. For me, if I’m 

being quite active I will probably choose a stronger option 

often such as a cream deo like Elsa’s Skinfoods Ocean 

deodorant whereas if my activities are quite light a gel roll-

SUMMER IS ON IT’S WAY 

BY KATE LINES 

Kates Top Tip for May: Plant out 

cannas and dahlias 

As bulbs fade and herbaceous 

borders grow in leaps and bounds, 

it is now clear that summer is 

approaching. 

Sowing and planting out bedding can begin, 

depending on regional weather variations, and you 

can take softwood cuttings. 

It’s also time to get back into the lawn mowing 

regime, as the lawn will be loving the warmer 

temperatures this month brings. 

Flowers 

Tubs can be planted up with 

summer bedding in milder areas. 

In colder areas further north or at 

high altitudes, it is advised to wait until 

early June, or until all risk of frost has passed. 

Divide clumps of herbaceous perennials that you 

want to propagate. 

Bamboos and clumps of bulbs or rhizomes can be 

divided in the same way. Cutting back clumps of 

spring-flowering perennials such as Pulmonaria and 

Doronicum can encourage a fresh flush of foliage.

CENTRE PARCS... 

BY ROSS “ACTION MAN” WISHART 

This month Action Man and the 

Action family will take in break 

at Centre Parcs in Elveden Forest 

just outside of Thetford. 

No more than an hour’s drive from any 

corner of Suffolk means your not physically 

very far from home or the office, but 

this stunning woodland resort is an ideal 

location to switch off work mode, kick back 

and breathe. 

Or, if it’s adrenaline that you desire, the 

wilderness-esk enclave is teeming with 

activities for you to really turn the dial up 

to 11. 

You can book a Center Parcs break for a 

three-night weekend (Friday-Monday), a 

four-night midweek (Monday-Friday) or a 

combination of the two for a full week. 

There’s also plenty of accommodation 

choices depending on you and your guests’s 

requirements. 

The popular and practical woodland lodge can 

sleep up to 8 with a stylish open plan living 

and dining space, each equipment with a TV & 

DVD player and a cosy log burning fireplace. 

Executive, Exclusive and Waterside Lodges all 

offer various degrees of opulence with added 

features such as hot tubs and games rooms. 

All accommodations have well equipped 

kitchens and whilst there is a good choice 

of restaurants with various cuisines, after a 

long day it’s nice to be able to casually rustle 

something up in the comfort of your own 

90 

May 2019.indd 90 16/04/2019 18:16


SPORT 

accommodation (and pyjamas!) 

The accommodations are spread throughout 

the wildlife filled forest whilst the centre hub 

of the resort contains the restaurants and 

shops, (including supermarket), with the main 

building home to a multitude of activities and 

the pool complex aka subtropical swimming 

paradise, which is open until the late evening 

and is free to use as part of your package, you 

can come and go as often as you like. 

As for the other activities these will come 

at an additional cost and will require prebooking, 

that’s best done early to avoid 

disappointment so the AM top tip is to do 

your homework before your visit. 

With over 200 to choose from there’s too 

many to mention here, the high ropes course, 

laser tag and mini golf are an Action Man 

favourite, there’s bound to be something to 

satisfy your action appetite. 

However, I’m going for the rest and will be 

comfortably meandering through the lazy 

river in the warm waters of the subtropical 

swimming paradise in between sessions of 

being launched several times down one of the 

many slides, my favourite being the “rapids”. 

“Venture Cove” is also an excellent shallow 

pool and splash park for the little ones. 

Phone signal is poor in Elveden Forest but 

some might consider that a godsend, as the 

last thing you want is the outside world, that 

you’ve briefly escaped from, disturbing your 

forest dwelling fiesta. 

Action Man says: tired of the boss’ barks 

or industry sharks? You need a break at 

Elveden’s Centre Parcs.

Adventures 

BE SAFE OUTSIDE... 

From common pests, to potentially 

deadly fertilisers, mushrooms and weed 

killers, the garden can pose a number of 

threats to us four legged friends. 

I love being outside, especially at this time of year 

when I can play with my chickens... uff. Here are my 

top tips for animal saftey in the garden... 

Fruit... 

Many of you might be surprised to learn that the 

stones and pits in apricots, cherries, plums and 

peaches contain deadly cyanide. These fruits could 

therefore be very dangerous if they’re crushed 

before they’re consumed and larger stones could be 

a choking hazard too, whilst the stems and leaves 

might also be poisonous. 

Slugs and snails... 

I hate em! Dogs can catch a dangerous lungworm 

infection if they accidentally eat a slug or snail that 

carries the larvae of the parasite. Though your dog 

probably won’t want to consume slugs or snails, they 

should still be cleared away urgently, particularly any 

that are near toys or sources of water. 

deadly to dogs. Unripe, green or raw potatoes can 

be severely dangerous to dogs, whilst tomato leaves, 

azaleas and every part of a lily could be poisonous to 

dogs and cause vomiting, diarrhoea or even death. 

Yikes! 

Compost... 

Garden compost heaps will usually be packed full 

of mouldy food and waste, which can produce 

dangerous mycotoxins which are extremely 

dangerous to dogs. 

Weed killer... 

Swallowing or even licking many common 

domestic weed killers could be really risky for 

dogs and cause breathing or heart problems if 

enough is consumed.

can also keep up to date with my antics on Twitter

Plants... 

Tomatoes, potatoes, azaleas and lilies are just some 

of the common vegetables and flowers that can be
