Onion Pakoras 

BY AWARD WINNING 

CHEF ABDUS SHAHID 

Prep Time: 

10 mins 

Cooking Time: 

20 mins 

Pakora is a generic term used for 

deep fried fritters made in India. 

Mostly, gram flour is used for coating 

the vegetables and then they are 

deep fried in oil. These are perfect to 

serve if you have a Christmas party 

coming up... 

Method 

1. Place the chickpea flour, spinach, yoghurt, 

1/2 cup water, cumin, coriander, fenugreek and 

onions into a large bowl. 

2. Season with salt and stir until well combined. 

3. Pour the oil into a large pot with a heavy 

bottom and heat to 175°C. 

4. Carefully drop tablespoons of the batter into 

the hot oil and fry, in batches, until they rise to 

the surface and are golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. 

Ingredients 

• 2 cups chickpea flour 

• 1 cup chopped spinach leaves 

• 1 cup yoghurt 

• 1 tablespoon ground cumin 

• 1 tablespoon ground coriander 

• 1 tablespoon dried fenugreek leaves, crushed 

with hands 

• 1 large onion, sliced thinly 

• Salt 

• 2 cups vegetable oil, for frying 

5. Drain on a rack lined with paper towels and 

sprinkle with a little salt. 

6 Serve the pakoras with a chutney of your 

choice.

#49 

Get prepped for 

Christmas 

Christmas is only one short 

month away... 

Although there are some ‘Grinches’ out 

there, that think it’s still much too early 

to start thinking about Christmas, we 

think this is a great time to get a head 

start so that December can be a time of 

celebration instead of frustration. 

Tis’ almost the season… so the team 

at Bounce, have put together several 

things to help you get ahead of the 

game… 

1. Start organising a Christmas list 

Make a list of who you need to buy presents for, 

and what you want to buy them. If you can’t think 

of ideas for people, ask them what they want now 

- a heads up so early in advance will allow them 

time to think about what they really want. 

2. Start saving 

Christmas can be expensive, so putting some 

money aside early can help you budget in 

advance. Write a budget for how much all the 

presents are going to cost, and if you’re going to 

be spending a small fortune on a lot of people, 

you can stagger when to get the gifts, so it 

doesn’t all fall on your December pay packets. 

3. A really deep clean 

Prepare your home for Christmas decorating by 

getting things spiffy clean. During the busyness 

of December you will be able to get by with just 

some maintenance cleaning. 

4. Get ahead with your Christmas cards 

If you’re the kind of person who sends out loads 

of Christmas cards, to everyone you know you’ll 

know this needs planning early in advance. Divide 

everyone up into family, friends, work colleagues. 

To make sure you don’t forget anyone. Buy all 

the cards you’ll need, and write them out, so 

you’ve got plenty of time to find out everyone’s 

addresses, if you aren’t delivering in person. 

5. Book time off 

Depending on where you work, you may have 

to do this even earlier, as it can be difficult to 

organise with everyone when they want to be off. 

Keep in mind you may not get exactly what you 

want, everyone will have to compromise. 

6. Set the date 

For any holiday parties you would like to host 

and try to send out invites one month prior to the 

date of the party. 

7. Stock the up 

With Christmas essentials… usually this includes 

lots of alcohol, nibbles, mince pies and lastly the 

Christmas TV guide.

BY ZEE BATTERSBY 

I’m not old i’m 

retro 

Check out my 

fashion website 

imnotoldimretro.co.uk 

Well hello there! I’m back with my monthly column… Ok so firstly a reminder about 

me. I’m Zena (Zee for short) I’m 43, a mother and a grandmother. 

Well here we are in 

November! How did 

that even happen? 

It’s customary to start 

thinking about those 

nights out during 

December. Don’t panic, 

I’m here to help! Firstly, 

check the dress code. Is 

it cocktail dress, formal 

dress, smart casual or 

do your own thang? 

Obviously the latter is 

my most favourite type 

of dress code. 

Ok, cocktail is easy. That’s generally to the 

knee or above, you even could be daring 

and choose one of the amazing jumpsuits 

that are everywhere at the moment. I’d 

love to rock one in true Farah Fawcett 

style. Sadly, I’m not sure I can carry off 

gold lame, therefore I’d go for the flowing 

fabrics that still give the that 70’s edge. 

Team with fabulous 

heels, (flats in your bag 

for later obvs!) get some 

volume in your hair and 

something sparkly. 

Formal can be less 

fun to choose. Often a 

formal dress can hide our 

best features. For me, it 

hides my best feature, 

my legs and highlights 

my worst, my middle! So 

if you are on the curvy 

side, choose something 

structured that gives you 

the shape you’re hoping for. 

Fifties style dresses are brilliant 

for this. If you’re petite choose 

a style that wont overwhelm you and keep 

large patterns to a minimum. If you’re tall and 

willowy, well lucky you, almost every style will 

look elegant, plus you can wear flats! 

Everyone LOVES a Christmas jumper, right? 

This can of course come under smart casual. 

12

FASHION 

NOVEMBER NOVEMBER 2016 | 2016 ISSUE | ISSUE #49 | #49 FASHION 

These are some of 

my style choices for 

celebrations. 

Whilst I love the novelty jumpers, here 

are a few of my favourite, maybe more 

wearable Christmas jumpers. 

Last but by no means least, “Do your 

own thang.” When there’s no dress 

code, you can just turn up and be 

yourself. These are the best nights, 

along with the nights that aren’t planned. 

So whatever you have in coming up, take 

your time and always buy it if you feel 

comfortable in it. 

I will be putting together some outfit 

suggestions over on my instagram feed 

and blog highlighting some Christmas 

picks, and next month ill be giving you gift 

buyers some gifts hints for your loved ones 

who love fashion. 

My winter coat is out 

and ready to go! Plus 

- I’ve made my first 

winter boot purchase 

of the year! 

Until then here are my vital statistics 

for November...

TIPS & ADVICE THIS SEASON 

TIPS ON 

Ties 

I thought we’d go back to basics this month 

and look at an item that can really pull a sharp 

outfit together. 

People underestimate the versatility of ties and they 

are usually reserved for more formal events despite 

the fact that they are easily integrated into your 

everyday wardrobe. 

First up some good rules of thumb to follow; 

1. The tip of your tie should touch your belt line (but 

never go below your waistline). 

2. Keep your choice on the skinny side. It’s smarter, 

cooler and more up-to-date. 

BY DANIEL FRANCIS 

3. When really upping your game and including a 

pocket square be sure to never wear a matching 

square & tie set. Look for one that draws out a certain 

colour within your tie or coordinates with its colour. 

16

FASHION 

NOVEMBER NOVEMBER 2016 | 2016 ISSUE | #49 ISSUE | #49 FASHION 

4. If you choose to wear a tie bar it should 

always be placed between the third and 

fourth buttons of your shirt 

Next, let’s look at some of the different 

knots you can try… 

The Four-in-Hand – This is the knot most commonly 

used, the one they teach you in school and probably 

the only way some people thought you could tie a 

tie. It is actually on the more casual side of knots 

so great for use during the day and with weekend 

outfits. Avoid if attending a formal event. It creates 

quite a small knot so it works well with most collars 

and fabrics 

1. The Four-in-Hand 2. The Windsor / Half 

Windsor 

The Windsor / The Half-Windsor – A few more steps 

than the previous and creates a larger, more bulky 

knot. If done correctly, it will produce a dimple in the 

centre too. This is much more appropriate for formal 

events and goes well with spread or wide spread 

collars. 

Its younger brother the Half-Windsor is as you would 

expect, a version of the above that creates a smaller 

knot (plus is a little easier to master). Because of 

its smaller size it can be worn with narrower collars 

depending on the thickness / weight of the tie itself. 

3. The Pratt 4. The Elderedge 

The Pratt – If you find you’re struggling with the 

above, the Pratt (or Shelby) is an easier alternative; 

often misunderstood as you actually start with 

your tie facing backwards. Follow the same collar 

guidelines as with the Half-Windsor. 

The Eldredge – this is not for beginners or the faint 

of heart. Aesthetically interesting but much more 

complicated to actually tie with fifteen steps. It’s 

quite a modern addition having only been invented 

in 2007. It creates a large knot and definitely catches 

the eye. You’re going to want to play this one by your 

own standards but I’d advise you avoid during more 

traditional events unless you’re hoping to raise a few 

eyebrows… 

There are many more knots to choose from a simple 

Google search away. You can also easily find several 

YouTube videos with step-by-step guides to help you 

practise. You can also check out my blog for further 

information on the different collar styles mentioned 

above 

For more information check out my blog at

Real Brides Special 

BY CATHERINE STARLING-GUNFIELD 

Michelle & Andrew 

May 2016 

Tuddenham Mill 

Real bride Michelle chose Angelic Weddings & Events to 

create her Save the Dates, Invitations and some of her venue 

stationery for her big day back in May. 

A theme of Stunning fuchsia pink, butterflies, diamantés, florals 

and silver glitter was just stunning against the back drop of the 

contemporary touches at Tuddenham Mill. 

Michelle chose pretty die cut pink butterflies, fuchsia satin 

ribbon and lots of bling for her post card style save the dates, 

deluxe invitations with matching RSVP cards, canvas table plan, 

table numbers, Lollipop reserve signs, bespoke post-box and 

favour tags. 

Delicate butterfly wineglass place settings and canvas table 

numbers on wooden easels looked pretty against the black 

furniture and crisp white linen. The bespoke bling post-box 

worked perfectly next to their wooden heart drop box guest 

book and there were lovely fuchsia pink touches added 

throughout the venue.

Q: WHY DID YOU CHOSE YOUR 

VENUE? 

A: “We chose to get married at 

Tuddenham as it was so different.

and romance plus the food is 

fantastic.” 

Q: WHAT WAS YOUR FAVOURITE 

ITEM FROM ANGELIC WEDDINGS

glass names. They just finished it 

off perfectly and were even prettier 

than I could have imagined.” 

Q: WHAT TIPS WOULD YOU GIVE 

OTHER BRIDES? 

A: “Don’t worry about anyone else, 

just make sure you do the things 

you want. Pick the venue, the food 

and seating plan you are happy

Rachel Ducker speaks to Keith Murray about the band and upcoming tour...

We all decided to start a band

Performing tracks from their latest 

releases ‘Helter Seltzer’ and ‘TV 

en Français’ as well as a healthy 

dose from classics stretching right 

back to their 2005 major label 

debut ‘With Love and Squalor’, We 

Are Scientists always guarantee a 

unique night balancing unrivalled 

onstage humour and a blistering set 

of giant pop songs, but don’t just 

take it from us... 

Rachel Ducker caught up with lead 

singer, Keith Murray about their 

exciting new tour stopping by us in 

Cambridge and Norwich. 

R: You started the band whilst at college 

in California, with your fellow band 

member Chris Cain, how did that 

come about? 

It sort of started when we graduated from 

university; we had been friends in college, 

but never played music together at all. 

After we graduated from university we 

moved to Northern California and were 

confronted with the mundane tasks of real 

life, we all ended up with dull day jobs. 

We were bored and no longer had 

the freedom and playfulness of being 

irresponsible college students. We lived in 

a really cool house in Berkeley, California 

with a third friend of ours and we all 

decided to start a band in our basement, 

just to have something to do after work 

and it ultimately morphed into ‘We Are 

Scientists,’ so it was mainly done as a 

boredom relief! 

R: When did you get into music and how? 

I’m not really sure, my older sister was 

always very into music, and she got me 

into it. 

The first bands I was really into, courtesy 

of my sister, were Bon Jovi and Poison. 

Fortunately grunge destroyed that pretty 

early on for me and I graduated to Nirvana 

pretty quickly. My sister, and I assume 

that’s normally the case for people with 

siblings, forced me into liking the music 

she liked pretty early on. 

R: Yes, funnily enough my younger 

brother did that to me, I’d never heard of 

metal and grunge until he advised me to 

check it out. 

Your younger brother did that? 

R: Well he’s now a musician so I am sure 

he had a better ear than I did! 

Yeah right! Great stuff. 

R: Who were your music influences 

growing up? 

I think the band I was most obsessed with 

in High School was Marilyn Manson, as they 

were from my hometown, so I used to see 

them all the time before they got signed, 

you know, when they were just a local 

band playing tiny, terrible clubs in South 

Florida. I would go to every single Marilyn 

Manson show, obsessively, so they were 

definitely my favourite band in high school. 

I’m not sure they actually come through in 

our music at all, but I always hold a little 

love, my hidden secret passion for Marilyn 

Manson still remains. I think through them 

I then learned about The Pixies and then 

Nirvana came through via The Pixies. 

31 31

NOVEMBER NOVEMBER 2016 | ISSUE 2016 #49 | ISSUE | KEITH #49 MURRAY 

R: Our local hometown hero happens to 

be Ed Sheeran! 

Well that’s great, at least bands come 

through to Cambridge, I mean, when I was 

growing up bands never stopped by in 

South Florida, it’s a real pain to get down 

there. In our entire career I think We Are 

Scientists have only played there three 

times. I’m always trying to get us down 

there because my whole family is there so 

that’s even with me constantly annoying 

our booking agent! You’re lucky. 

R: I think we are, but the UK is also a lot 

smaller, so we have that on our side to! 

Yeah! It’s not too bad a drive from London 

to Cambridge for us, when we visit. 

R: Most stars these days are under so 

much pressure to act in a certain way. 

Do you think the definition of a celebrity 

is changing? 

There’s a level of media training that all 

celebrity bands need to have. It’s just funny 

that social media now accelerates that 

process and every band in the world needs 

to be well media trained and savvy about 

how to manipulate their own media. 

So I don’t think the definition of a 

celebrity has changed, but I think that the 

application of it, and how wide spread 

celebrities behaviour needs to be has, just 

to get your foot in the door as a new band, 

you kind of need to be ahead from the 

get go. 

I also think that the level of media training 

is innate for kids now, I think there are 

probably sixteen year olds in the world 

who are better media trained than I am, 

and I’ve done thousands of interviews by 

now. Kids have been so indoctrinated so 

early on for personal presentation, they 

are better at it than even experienced quo 

pros, it probably means that entertainers 

in the future are going to be much more 

entertaining than even we are, and I think 

we’re pretty entertaining personalities. 

R: Speaking of entertainment, tell us 

about your series of TV shorts - Steve 

Wants His Money, made for MTV UK in 

2009? 

I think it just began, as every time we were 

invited to take part in pre-filmed variety 

shows, as a band, we always ended up 

wanting to write our own sketches. I love 

that British music shows have sketch 

sessions; the guests play along and banter 

with the host in a sketch situation, so I 

think we were very active about wanting 

to write our own material because we’ve 

always had a voice as a band. 

So we done that a couple of times with 

some MTV shows and with Nick Grimshaw 

and they asked if we wanted to make this 

little short series to play in-between TV 

shows to replace commercials, they were 

seven minutes long. I am not sure how 

they thought of that, but they approached 

us knowing we would be interested in 

providing that. 

R: Speaking of MTV, I hear you always like 

to come up with the concepts for your 

music videos, what is your favourite one 

to date? 

Hmmm, I always been a pretty big fan 

of ‘It’s A Hit’ video, mainly because I feel 

it was pretty brave to end the video by 

splattering a child’s face with my blood. I 

am proud of all of the videos that ended 

with me dying, which for some reason we

have a huge number of videos of me being 

terribly hurt or dying altogether, we have 

six or seven videos where I perish at the 

end. 

R: Well I am glad you are still here! 

Ah, thank you, as am I! 

R: I am a cat lover, I would love to know 

about the cat called Lewis used for your 

artwork? 

It started as we thought it would be a 

weird thing for a band to embrace. We 

took the photos that became the cover for 

the first album where we are holding the 

cats. 

R: That’s my favourite one! 

Nice, thanks, we didn’t intend it to be the 

album cover, it was supposed to be for our 

press shots and then the label told us that 

we needed our actual faces in our press 

shots, so we made it the album cover, and 

from there I think we decided it was really 

funny to keep on using cats as a rock 

band mascot, it doesn’t make any sense at 

all. Our current one has a nice chain and 

smokes a cigarette! 

R: Out of all of your songs, do you have 

a favourite that you enjoy listening to or 

performing? 

Its always changing, I can’t even really 

listen to our first album of songs any more 

as I have heard them so many times, I think 

right now ‘Buckle’ is my favourite We Are 

Scientist song, I always have a very big soft 

spot for ‘Afterhours’ so they are maybe my 

two favourite at this time. 

R: Your autumn tour starts in October and 

stops by us Cambridge and Norwich, what 

can we expect? 

We are playing so many dates on this tour, 

the venues are more intimate, so what will 

be fun about these shows is that I sense 

they are going to be quite energetic and 

probably pretty interactive. 

I mean, we like to talk a lot in-between our 

songs and with a venue that only holds 

a certain amount of people, its actually 

pretty easy to communicate with the 

audience. They will be engaging! 

R: Do you enjoy being on tour? 

It is pretty boring to be honest, but the 

worst part isn’t the actual travelling, its 

filling time between the shows. There’s 

not that much you can do. You never have 

time to do anything substantial. We are 

big cocktail enthusiasts, so there’s always 

a threat we will end up engaging our 

love for cocktails! We are pretty good at 

entertaining each other so it’s never too 

bad. 

R: What does the rest of the year hold in 

store for you once your tour is complete? 

We’re pretty busy with shows for the rest 

of the autumn, we have another US tour 

we have to do, then we will be back in the 

UK for a short time in December. Right 

now, the New Year is totally empty so we 

hope to start working on the next record 

very shortly! 

R: Thank you so much for your time Keith 

and good luck with the tour!

A guide to 

Sweet Wine 

BY ‘WINE BUFF’ FRED FISHER 

By sweet wines, we are referring to wines that have 

residual sugar in them... 

FOLLOW THE 5S’S 

SEE, SWIRL, SMELL, SIP & SPIT OR SWALLOW 

Although you might say that the best way 

to taste a wine is to ‘just drink some of it’ 

there is a much better and rewarding way 

in taking a more methodical approach. 

PRODUCTION 

The objective is to make a wine 

that contains alcohol but also 

sugar. Alcohol comes from the 

combination of yeast and sugar, so 

there needs to be an abundance of 

sugar to produce enough alcohol, 

but also leaving an amount of sugar 

in the wine 

There are many ways of achieving 

this:- 

1. Grapes that contain sugar with 

sufficient to have some left over 

after fermentation 

2. Adding sugar. 

40

FOOD & DRINK 

NOVEMBER 2016 | ISSUE #49 | FOOD & DRINK 

a). Before fermentation as sugar or honey 

(Chaptalisation). 

b). After fermentation as unfermented juice 

(Sussreserve). 

3. Add alcohol, typically brandy before all sugar is 

fermented (fortified) 

4. Remove water to concentrate the 

sugar (Drying, Freezing or Noble 

Rot). 

SUGAR LEVELS 

Sugar in wine has to be 

produced in the vineyard, 

some grapes have more natural 

sugar than others and that is why 

many sweet wines have the Muscat 

grape in use, which is high in sugar. The 

environment plays an important part as more 

ripening increases the sugar content. By pruning 

the vine or leaving the grapes on the vine until 

they shrink like raisins concentrates the sugar. 

NATURAL SWEET WINES 

Uses grapes that are grown and picked, at or past 

being ripe, the winemaker can then choose how 

much sugar is left in the juice and be able to adjust 

sweetness and alcohol levels. 

ADDING SUGAR 

Chaptalisation - This was used in Roman times 

when they added honey to sweeten a wine. Today 

sugar is added to increase the alcohol levels 

where the grapes were not ripe enough to provide 

enough sugar. Some countries and wine areas ban 

this practice. 

Sussreserve - In Germany unfermented sweet 

grape juice is added to sweeten a final wine that 

is too dry. It is also practiced in New Zealand for 

some German style wines. 

FORTIFIED WINES 

Sherry when sweet, is a dessert wine made by 

blending very sweet wine, made from the 

Pedro Ximinez grape, to dry sherry. 

Vin Du Naturel. Made by adding 

brandy to sweet grape juice. 

Port and similar wines. Produced by 

stopping the fermentation process of 

a wine by adding grape spirit at 95% 

proof, at a time when a lot of sugar 

has still to be fermented. This then 

stays in the wine to make it sweet. 

OTHER SWEET WINES 

Raisin wine - Grapes are air dried, usually on 

straw mats. They shrivel up like raisins and thus 

concentrate the sugar. This process is used in 

many countries. 

Ice Wine - When temperatures fall to about -7C or 

19F grapes for icewine can be picked. The water 

in the grapes freezes out but sugars and solids 

remain in the juice. 

Noble Rot - These are made from grapes that have 

been affected by Botrytis Cinerea (Noble Rot), 

which is a fungus that pierces the skin of the grape 

and allows water to escape. This then concentrates 

the sugar content but looks uninviting on the vine. 

Food and Sweet Wines - Ideal with sweet fruit 

and many desserts. Some are red but mostly white 

and a golden colour. Some are also used to make a 

dessert. Oddly enough a strong dessert wine such 

as Sauterne or Tokaji Aszu can be matched with 

a blue cheese such as Roquefort. The salt in the 

cheese and the sweetness of the wine make good 

partners. 

Conclusions... 

Sweet wines are best served as a last course in a meal but of course whenever you prefer. They 

benefit from a little cooling and to see how they work with food, try a sip of the wine first and then a 

sample of food and then again a sip of the wine. You will notice the difference. Two of the top dessert 

wines are Chateau D’Yquem from Sauterne in Bordeaux and Tokaji Aszu 5 Puttoyos from Hungary.

Interior by Brigitte D’Angelo 

The 

Crown 

“Framlingham has always been 

one of my favourite market 

towns to visit”. 

This month Rachel Ducker was 

invited along to The Crown Hotel in 

Framlingham, to check out what the 

past coaching inn had to offer. 

‘When I visit Framlingham, I love strolling 

around the castle grounds and winding 

through the medieval 

streets, past houses 

painted in various 

pastel shades. 

As we entered the 

hotel, set in a beautiful 

Grade II listed building, I took a moment 

to take everything in including the 

uneven walls and exposed Tudor oak 

beams. 

Friday evening shortly commenced and 

the atmosphere from the bar and lounge 

areas started to come alive. You could 

tell the weekend was now in full swing! 

Although I have enjoyed many a coffee, 

(or a cheeky glass of red wine) in The 

Crown, I had never experienced a stay, 

44

FOOD FOOD & DRINK DRINK 

so I was very excited to see the room. 

We checked in, and were shown up to 

room 8, by the lovely Will at reception. 

I was immediately taken back by the 

grand four-poster bed, elegant furniture, 

and not forgetting our very own Illy 

coffee machine! 

The best part about this room was that 

it felt like we’d stepped back in time. 

“Although modern and 

contemporary in appearance, 

the squeaky floorboards gave the 

game away; we were in fact still 

immersed in past history.” 

You could just imagine what the room 

was like in times gone by. After a quick 

freshen up we headed down to the 

lounge to enjoy a pre-dinner drink. I 

couldn’t resist a sneaky look at the 

dinner menu. 

It was full of classic choices to suit most 

palates, as well as homemade pizzas 

and bar classics. 

After our drink we headed through to 

the restaurant, dark blue and green walls 

were highlighted tastefully with parrots 

and birds under low lit lighting. 

With my order in mind I beckoned my 

partner to hurry up with his decision! 

I began with an unusual dish named 63° 

Egg – A Velvety Smooth Slow Cooked 

45

NOVEMBER NOVEMBER 2016 | ISSUE 2016 #49 | ISSUE | FOOD #49 & DRINK 

Egg on a Ragout of Beans, finished with 

Broccoli Pesto and Parmesan. 

My partner opted for the more elaborate 

Rabbit Rillette – Pulled Rabbit & 

Pistachio Rille with a Pistachio Puree, 

succulent Peppered Peach and Salad 

Garnish. 

We were both really impressed with our 

choices – although I still think I chose the 

better dish! 

Onto the main event, as a white meat 

lover, I decided on the Chicken Wrapped 

in Parma Ham, served with Mushroom 

Duxelles, Peas and Slow Cooked 

Sweet leeks. The Chicken was cooked 

superbly and I have to say my favourite 

accompaniment on the dish were 

the Peas. They really complimented 

the other flavours, which was slightly 

unexpected. Power to the peas! 

My partner selected the Shin of Beef 

with Roasted Carrot Puree, Silky Mashed 

Potato and Greens. It didn’t last very 

long and after having a little nibble 

myself; I have to say the dish was very 

yummy indeed. 

After a short interval, although the 

portion sizes were very generous we 

couldn’t pass on a dessert. 

True to form, my partner, the chocoholic 

in our household, decided upon the 

Chocolate Brownie, with Ice cream,

Phone: 01728 723521 

whilst I chose Cherry Bakewell, a firm 

favourite of mine. 

The food was absolutely delicious and 

well presented. It was a truly enjoyable 

meal in a very relaxed, yet buzzing 

setting. 

What we loved most about The Crown 

was the intimate setting and friendly 

service; we felt that the staff really went 

out of their way to make our experience 

as special as possible. 

To round up the evening, after our meal 

we scurried upstairs to our room, finding 

the time to make use of the coffee 

machine and enjoy the huge plasma TV. 

After some Friday night shows (it simply 

has to be done) it was then time to dive 

into the four poster bed! 

I had a really good nights sleep, but was 

surprised to wake up to the sound of the 

market, which takes place on a Tuesday 

and Saturday. 

This truly set the mood of staying in a 

beautiful and traditional market town! 

We would highly recommend a dine 

and stay at The Crown, we’re definitely 

going back with friends at Christmas!

Aldeburgh F&D 

Festival 

RACHEL DUCKER CHECKS OUT THIS YEARS EVENT AT SNAPE MALTINGS... 

Last month I had the pleasure of attending the annual Aldeburgh 

Food & Drink festival 2016. This festival showcases the very best of 

Suffolk produce, and what fine produce there was on offer... 

50


The event took place in the beautiful setting 

of Snape Maltings, next to the River Alde and 

close to the Suffolk coast, where reed-covered 

marshlands stretch into the distance towards 

Aldeburgh. This year, I had my partners in crime 

with me, Lois and Becca, whilst Sam helped out 

with the photography! 

As we arrived, we didn’t know where to start, so 

without thinking, we all scattered of like ants, 

only to realise we had in fact we had all split up 

to investigate the scrumptious smells that were 

luring us in. A few of my particular favourites 

included Calvors, who specialise in larger and 

ale… this was one of my first stops… well, it 

was a hot day and I had to make sure I didn’t 

get dehydrated! 

Shortly after this pit stop, came my first purchase 

of the day, which was at ‘Bakers’, who specialise 

in baking for dogs. For those of you who know 

me you will know that our dog Archie, (column 

found on page 122) is one spoilt puppy, so 

naturally the first purchase was for him! 

As we ventured and sampled our way through 

delicious smells and brightly coloured displays, 

we also took time to visit the two cookery 

demonstration stages hosting visiting and 

local chefs. 

The marque this year was home to Suffolk’s finest 

producers. In here we loved watching the crowds 

sampling away, some of the displays looked like 

pieces of artwork. With over 90 food and drink 

producers from Suffolk, many from just a few 

miles away, all selling their produce including 

raw milk, organic vegetables, sourdough bread, 

award winning beer and spirits from sponsors 

Adnams, cider from Aspall and delicious 

street food. It was a wonderful event, more 

news can be found on the website. For more

VALLEY CONNECTION 

Unlike most traditional Indian restaurants, 

Valley Connection, also known to the locals 

as ‘VC’, pride themselves in offering their 

customers a contemporary and relaxed 

surrounding to dine in.

After being shown to our elegantly dressed 

table we were presented with a vast menu of 

mouth-watering dishes. Indecisive, we asked 

for Mr Shahid to recommend a few dishes to 

us. Without hesitation he pointed us in the 

right direction. 

Traditionally starting the meal we ordered an 

array of poppadoms with delicious chutneys, 

followed by a scrumptious selection of Onion 

Bhajis, Prawn Purees and Kebabs. 

The main course consisted of a selection of 

colourful, delicately spiced dishes, including 

Salmon Tikka, Chicken Pordanishi, Haryali 

Massala to name but a few! 

Mr Shahid visited India last year to take part in 

the Taste of Britain Awards, since then his new 

dishes have also been added to the extensive 

menu, as well as a new Christmas tasting 

menu, in time for the festive season. 

We spoke to a few of the other customers at 

VC and here is what they had to say. 

Full of atmosphere and character, 

you can enjoy award-winning 

dishes in relaxing and peaceful 

surroundings. 

The lighting and textures of the dinning room, 

all set within a spacious layout, present a 

traditional theme that you can really cosy up 

in. 

At this Bury St Edmunds restaurant, you can 

enjoy an up market dining experience with 

menus that focus on Indian continental dishes 

to Bangladeshi cuisine. 

We visited Valley Connection to sample the 

delights on offer. As we arrived, owner Mr 

Shahid and his fabulous team warmly greeted 

us, as always. 

“We love the atmosphere and the 

very friendly staff. We always have 

enjoyable evenings and feel very 

welcome every time we come.” – 

Ellie and Barney 

We spoke to a few of the other customers at 

VC and here is what they had to say. 

If you are planning some events over the 

Christmas season, Valley Connection is now 

taking bookings for large parties to small. 

Look no further that VC - Its one of our 

favourites!

Comedy Christmas Lunch at 

Kesgrave Hall 

WEDNESDAY 14 TH DECEMBER 2016 

We thought it would be a great idea to put on a Christmas lunch (in 

addition to our party nights) at Milsoms Kesgrave Hall in Suffolk in 

the run up to Christmas. 

One thing led to another and it became

BECCLES BEER FESTIVAL RETURNS FOR A FIFTH YEAR 

Now in its 5th year, the Beccles 

Beer Festival has become one of 

the most popular events in 

Beccles calendar... 

Last year more than 1500 people 

visited the 3 day beer festival, 

drinking over 4,000 pints of real 

ale, cider, perry and craft lager from 

25 different breweries within 30 

miles of Beccles. 

Organisers Graham Elliott and 

Beccles Lido Director, Shaun 

Crowley, told Bounce Magazine 

“This is the biggest beer festival in 

the region and real ale enthusiasts 

travel from all over East Anglia. It’s 

not just a celebration of local ales 

but it’s held in Beccles Public Hall 

to raise funds for Beccles Lido – and so it also celebrates 

these 2 fantastic community run Beccles attractions!” 

From Friday-Sunday 18-20 November, the 5th Beccles Beer 

Festival will feature some very special ales not available 

on draft anywhere else, such as Pink Panther, as well as 

festival stalwart Green Jack Ripper! 

But Shaun was keen to emphasise that this beer festival 

isn’t just for the boys, and a team of ladies is again set to 

be behind the bar on Friday for Ladies Night, you might 

even find Bounce’s own Rachel pulling a pint; and there is 

a fully licensed bar selling wines, spirits and soft drinks for 

the non-ale drinkers. There will also be live music on Friday 

evening from local bands Owl & Wolves and Old School 

Blues, and on Saturday evening the return of the hugely 

popular Murphys Lore. 

So make this a weekend to get over to Beccles – and why 

not use the bus or train so that you can really enjoy a 

selection of the tipples on offer?

THE 

CAMEL 

POSE 

(oosh -TRAHS-anna) 

ustra = camel 

Benefits 

Reduces fat on thighs 

Opens up the hips, stretching deep hip flexors 

Improves posture 

Opens the chest, improving respiration 

Relieves lower back pain 

Cures constipation 

Precautions: 

Those having problems related to neck, knee and 

back injury should not perform this asana. 

How to try the pose: 

1. Kneel on the floor with your knees hip width 

and thighs perpendicular to the floor. Rotate your 

thighs inward slightly, narrow your hip points, and 

firm but don’t harden your buttocks. Press your 

shins and the tops of your feet firmly into floor. 

2.Rest your hands on the back of your pelvis, 

bases of the palms on the tops of the buttocks, 

fingers pointing down. Use your hands to spread 

the back pelvis and lengthen it down through 

your tail bone. Then lightly firm the tail forward, 

toward the pubis. Inhale and lift your heart by 

pressing the shoulder blades against your 

back ribs. 

3. Now lean back against the firmness of the 

tail bone and shoulder blades. Then press your 

thighs back to perpendicular, turn your torso 

back to neutral, and touch the second hand to its 

foot. If you’re not able to touch your feet without 

compressing your lower back, turn your toes 

under and elevate your heels. 

4. Release the front ribs and lift the front of the 

pelvis up, toward the ribs. Then lift the lower 

back ribs away from the pelvis to keep the lower 

spine as long as possible. Press your palms firmly 

against your soles (or heels), with the bases of 

the palms on the heels and the fingers pointing 

toward the toes. 

5. Stay in this pose anywhere from 30 seconds to 

a minute. To exit, bring your hands onto the front 

of your pelvis, at the hip points. Inhale and lift 

the head and torso up by pushing the hip points 

down, toward the floor. If your head is back, lead 

with your heart to come up, not by jutting the 

chin toward the ceiling and leading with your 

brain. Rest in Child’s Pose for a few breaths. 

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.

Creating a 

Stress Free Christmas 

A peaceful home creates a relaxing 

atmosphere in which families and 

loved ones can thrive. 

Christmas can be a very stressful time of year. 

For many the Christmas holiday period is a mass 

of complex social interactions with family or 

relatives, some of whom you may rather not see. 

Some people rate Christmas as being more 

stressful than divorce or being burgled. 

Here are some tips and advice to make your 

Christmas as stress-free as possible. 

Plan Ahead 

Start making a list of things you need to do for 

Christmas early: for example, shopping, food 

and presents, decorations, seating plans or travel 

arrangements. 

Shop Online 

Although shopping locally has many advantages, 

High Street shopping just before Christmas can 

be particularly stressful, often cold and wet and 

with hundreds of other stressed people trying 

to find the ‘perfect’ gift. Shop online from the 

comfort of your own home as you’ll not only save 

time and be less stressed but will probably save 

money too. 

Practise Breathing 

When we’re stressed our heart beat increases and 

our breathing shallows, it’s all part of the fight or 

flight reaction. Work on reversing this process 

and take time to breathe deeply. 

Have a ‘Great Escape’ Plan! 

It’s a good idea to have some pre-planned 

excuses to escape from proceedings if they get 

too stressful.

Life is not meant to be stressful, the purpose of 

life is to be happy. Putting some effort in now 

means that during December you will have time 

to concentrate on the fun parts of the holidays, 

making good food, spending time relaxing with 

people you love and having fun! 

For more info on the health 

benefits of yoga, pilates, tai 

chi, qi gong, meditation & 

complementary therapies. 

If stress is taking over your life, be kind to yourself 

and take steps to make your life easier. Break the 

big things into small things, then focus on one 

thing at a time. 

If you need some support we can offer help with 

life coaches, counsellors, meditation classes, yoga 

and tai chi, or if you just need to get away from it 

all for a bit how about homemade soup or a slice 

of cake in the café, bring a book and shut the 

world out for a while.

Collective Enfranchisement 

Provided that at least 50% of the flats in the building 

who are qualifying tenants participate and the building 

qualifies, the landlord is unable to refuse to sell the 

freehold. 

A number of leaseholders are growing increasingly 

dissatisfied with their management company for either 

excessively charging or taking too long to address their 

problems. In many cases the benefits of purchasing the 

freehold strongly outweigh the initial cost and additional 

responsibility for leaseholders. It gives the leaseholders 

control of their building – they can decide what work 

needs to be done and who is best value for money to 

carry it out. In addition to this in many cases it will increase 

the value and saleability of their property. 

Luke Stockings at 

Rudlings Wakelam 

explains how you can 

buy your freehold. 

Bury St. Edmunds has seen a steady rise in the 

price of leasehold flats in the last 12 months. 

Property prices increased 9.26% in the ten months 

between September 2015 and July 2016, and the Brexit 

result, although a surprise to many, has shown little sign of 

slowing the growth of the leasehold property market in 

Suffolk. This has led to a number of leaseholders 

considering extending their lease or purchasing the 

freehold interest jointly with other leaseholders within their 

building. 

A lease is a deteriorating asset - with every year that 

passes the value is reduced. By extending the lease or 

purchasing the freehold a leaseholder is protecting their 

biggest asset from being devalued over time. 

Some leaseholders have the right, subject to 

qualification, to join together and buy the freehold and 

any head-lease of their building. This right is granted by 

law under the Leasehold Reform and Urban Development 

Act 1993 (as amended) and this Act outlines the 

complicated process and time restrictions governing 

“collective enfranchisement”. 

In order to qualify for collective enfranchisement the 

property must contain at least two flats and at least two 

thirds of the flats must be owned by qualifying tenants (a 

leaseholder who has a lease that was initially granted for 

a term of more than 21 years). 

www.rudlings-wakelam.com 

79 

The person named in the initial notice who will acquire 

the property from the landlord is known as the “nominee 

purchaser”. The most common practice is to set up a 

company that is registered at Companies House which is 

wholly owned by the participating tenants. The nominee 

purchaser will be responsible for the management of the 

building upon completion. 

Correct notices need to be served at the right time and 

information provided by the leaseholders to the freeholder 

within strict deadlines. Once the initial notice has been 

served the procedure is running and failure to respond 

within the deadline will risk the application being rejected 

as invalid. It is very important to ensure that if the nominee 

purchaser is to be a company, the company has been set 

up prior to submitting the initial notice. 

The role of the solicitor includes the preparation of 

information for the action, setting up a company to be the 

nominee purchaser (if the chosen method), serving the 

initial notice, responding to the landlord’s request for 

substantiation of claim, providing evidence of title and 

amending the terms of the leases after enfranchisement. 

To check the eligibility of the property, the lease and the 

leaseholder, to discuss the potential advantages of 

purchasing the freehold and to receive friendly and 

helpful advice in relation to this, please

HAIR & BEAUTY 

NOVEMBER NOVEMBER 2016 | ISSUE 2016 #49 | ISSUE | HAIR #49& BEAUTY 

BY SARA ESLER, SKINCARE SPECIALIST 

Skin health 

IN YOUR 30’S 

Whilst generally the skin still has 

good function until the age around 

30, physiological changes are 

continually happening. 

Lifestyle impacts greatly, and the less care that is 

taken in protecting the skin the faster the signs of 

ageing will become apparent. As you get further 

into your 30’s the luminosity of youth wanes and 

the complexion can appear lifeless. You still feel 

young, but tiredness with a hectic lifestyle can 

begin to show. 

The initial signs of ageing are subtle, but the cell 

renewal and collagen production will begin to 

slow and hydration and elasticity of the skin vary 

until fine lines and expression etch themselves 

into the skin. Focus on boosting the skin’s 

performance with appropriate exfoliation and 

hydration. Avoid the dullness of a dehydrated 

skin. 

This decade can be pressurised with mortgage, 

children and career advancement, so I have 

designed especially for Bounce readers, an 

express 30 min. facial for face/neck costing only 

£30 using the premier skincare range Medik8. 

Medik8 enzyme exfoliation and 

facial massage with Glow Oil... 

The enzyme is a blend of active ingredients 

selected for their potency and gentle 

regenerating action to enable the skin to 

function more efficiently whilst the wonderful 

repairing Vitamin C and Otto rose oil boosts the 

suppleness. 30 minute treatment costing £30. 

The results are almost instantly visible so this is 

a great morale as well as skin booster! 

It is also a great introduction to the range of 

Medik8 skin peels which are on promotion. 3 

Medik8 skin peels for £150.

THE HAIR TRENDS WE 

WISH WE COULD FORGET 

SPONSORED BY CABELLO, HALESWORTH 

Going crazy with the crimper, cutting your 

hair in the shape of a bowl and rocking the 

poodle perm like Kylie are just some of the 

worst hair trends of all time. 

Online hair and beauty retailer Hairtrade.com has 

dug deep into the archives and discovered which 

past looks are really worth forgetting. 

spikes, these are just some of the hair and beauty 

looks that need to be wiped out from memory. 

Also making an appearance on the list is the 

current ‘mun’ look – otherwise known as the man 

bun. This can usually be spotted on the head of 

gentleman while trawling the high street or even 

when taking in a game of football – it seems a 

selection of players are braving a new style. 

From thinking you looked amazing with your rainbow 

clip-in streaks to going through a whole tub 

of gel to create huge (and possibly dangerous) 

We’ve all rocked past hairstyles that we regret but 

did we really need all of those products and 

gadgets. Here are the worst hair trends of all time: 

86 

86

HAIR & BEAUTY 


1. GETTING CRIMPED 

One for the 90s girls out there – our crimpers 

were our favourite gadgets of our childhood. 

How cool we thought we looked with our 

crinkled Afros! 

6. CURTAINS 

We have the likes of The Backstreet Boys and 

N-Sync to thank for this one. It wasn’t a school 

playground unless one boy sported curtains – 

2. THE BOWL CUT 

Both men and women took inspiration from 

the humble cooking bowl not too long ago and 

there’s even talk of it making a comeback. The 

simple style is created by rocking a straight 

fringe at the front with the rest of the hair the 

same length all the way around. 

3. RAINBOW COLOUR CLIP-INS 

Celebrities including Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie 

and Christina Aguilera were big fans of the 

colourful style a couple of decades ago and 

of course, we just had to copy. No matter the 

colour, it was clipped into our hair. The more 

streaks the better. 

4. SERIOUS SPIKES 

Also known as ‘liberty spikes’, this hairstyle was 

popular in 90s punk culture and took a lot of 

work to achieve. To create this style, one would 

need two hours of hard graft and several tubs 

or bottles of hair gel. Think huge clumps of hair 

standing up on end – all over the head. It must 

have been a hazard. 

5. MULLET 

Take a look back through your family photos 

and one member will have gone through the 

mullet stage. First invented in the early 70s 

sported by both men and women. Think short 

on top and front, long at the back.take a loose 

strand from the back of your head and twist 

around the bunch, covering the band. 

similar to the bowl cut, but with a standout centre 

parting. 

7. POODLE PERM 

This hairstyle dominated the 80s for women with 

icons such as Kylie Minogue, Madonna and Cher 

all turning to the curl. The bigger the better, it 

wasn’t easy to go from straight to poodle. The 

process was done using tight heated rollers and a 

LOT of hairspray. 

8. THE ‘MUN’ 

As already mentioned, we couldn’t have put 

together this list without throwing in one modern 

mistake. You can’t miss it, look out for shaven 

back and sides and long and floppy on top, all 

fixed into a small man bun with a hair band.

Aromatherapy for the Skin + the Soul... 

Relax and unwind before the hectic 

festive season gets into full swing with 

an Aromatherapy Facial. 

SK Clinic + Spa are offering a 1-hour Aromatherapy 

Facial at £35.00 instead of £45.00 throughout 

November. Also, if you buy an Enzymo-Spherides 

Peeling Cream (50ml) you will get a Phyto-Gel 

Cleanser free (trial size worth £17.00). 

An aromatherapy facial is a prescriptive facial with 

a holistic approach involving the thorough use of 

essential oils which are tailored to different skin 

types to treat your specific needs. 

Choose from the two massage techniques including 

the ‘Lymph Aroma Massage’ to aid circulation and 

elimination of lymph fluid or the ‘Aroma Pressure 

Point Massage’ to relieve headaches and sinus 

congestion. We will select the oil appropriate for 

your skin type, whilst incorporating unique rituals of 

touch to help you relax like never before. 

Why an Aromatherapy Facial? 

A relaxing aromatherapy facial treats the skin with a 

holistic approach, using unique massage techniques 

for the face, neck and décolletage. They are 

becoming more popular due to our ever increasing 

knowledge of essential oils and how beneficial they 

can be for our skin. As our lives become busier than 

ever - taking to an aromatherapy facial as a means 

to pamper the skin and unwind thoroughly at 

the same time is the ideal treatment. 

Our Aromatherapy Face Oils are pre-blended 

for specific skin types using the highest quality 

essential oils and carrier oil; the carrier oil of 

choice is hazelnut, which is the second most 

expensive oil and its natural affinity to the skin 

is of most benefit in terms of nourishment. 

Rich in vitamins A, B, E it is easily absorbed and 

softens the skin. 

Dry skin will become highly nourished and 

toned, using oils such as Jasmine Essential 

Oil, Ylang Ylang Essential Oil and Vitamin E 

to help ease dryness, fine lines and stress. 

Sensitive skin will be soothed with moisture 

balance restored using Rose Oil, Neroli (Orange 

Flowers) Essential Oil, Lavender Essential Oil 

and Vitamin E. Sandalwood, Mandarin and 

Grapefruit Essential Oils plus Vitamin E will 

nourish sebum secretions without dehydrating 

oily/combination skin and tighten enlarged 

pores while smoothing and softening the skin’s 

surface. 

As a result, your skin glows with health 

and looks fresh and radiant, your senses are 

soothed and you will leave all your tension 

behind feeling calm and completely relaxed.

Achieve 

Great Looking 

Skin 

November, and we are thinking about 

Christmas! If you have not yet started your 

Christmas shopping, better get going with it. 

Beauty brands have already started bringing their 

Christmas Box Sets and I know there are some 

brilliant ones out there! This month, I would like to 

give some advice skincare. 

A lot of people moisturize, some use it at night 

and some do not. The night moisturizers are 

formulated differently, they are often thicker than 

your day ones and often do not have an SPF 

in them. They also help the process of the skin 

replanting, as our skin repairs and re-energizes 

overnight. 

Something like Clarins Multi Active Nuit is perfect 

for the first signs of ageing. A sleeping mask 

is quite a luxurious product that is to be when 

needed, for example, if you’ve had a late night, it 

all shows in your skin. There are plenty out there 

for you to choose from, Dior’s Hydra Life range, 

which is ultra hydrating, puts the water back into 

dehydrated skin. 

Lastly, but certainly not least, when I’ve had 

a stressful time, one of my favourite products 

to relax with is Clarins Tonic Bath and Shower 

Concentrate, put a small amount of this in your 

bath and get ready to unwind! 

Maybe even put a mud mask on, like the new 

L’Oréal pure clay masks and at £5 a pop you can’t 

go wrong.

A GUIDE TO 

Microblading 

Everything You Need to Know About Microblading 

Your Eyebrows... As a make-up artist you are always looking 

for ways to enhance your skills, that’s when I heard about the art 

of Microblading. 

However, almost all of them share 

the same goal, to enhance the eyes 

with full, glamorous lashes. 

new method 

of implanting 

pigment into 

the skin. 

Microblading is a more permanent solution to a 

more defined, realistic brow. 

Microblading is a form of tattooing and unlike a 

regular tattoo; microblading is a form of tattoo 

artistry where pigment is implanted under the 

skin with a manual handheld tool instead of a 

machine. 

The handheld tattoo allows you to draw hair-like 

strokes that mimic the natural brow hair. Even 

though it is not as deep as a regular tattoo, it is 

still a tattoo because pigment is implanted under 

the skin. 

I recently trained with Epibrow in this innovative 

Epibrow is a 

very unique 

take on Semi- 

Permanent 

make-up and 

was established 

in their very own 

Brow Studios in 

Glasgow. 

Epibrow can help you achieve a natural looking 

hair stroke, regardless of hair that is already 

present. This treatment appeals to those 

suffering from alopecia or other conditions that 

can cause hair loss. Those that have perhaps 

over plucked their eyebrows would benefit 

94

HAIR & BEAUTY 


greatly from this technique. 

The pigments used in this method have been 

formulated to match the original eyebrow colour. 

Even if you already have brows the colour will 

blend nicely into them. 

After the initial treatment the brows will appear 

darker but they fade significantly over a two week 

period, this is why it is important that you have 

a top-up approximately 4-6weeks later once the 

brows have healed. 

After the 4-6week top-up an annual top-up is 

recommended to retain the shape and colour. 

Is it painful? 

No, there is some discomfort but it would not 

be regarded as pain. An anaesthetic cream is 

applied to numb the area before treatment. You 

will be able to feel small little scratches. 

What can I expect on the day? 

I will analyse your brows and make 

recommendations based on the shape, colour 

and design that will be best suited to yourself. 

Once the brow design has been mapped out 

and you are happy with the shape then 

the procedure will commence. You 

make experience some redness after the 

treatment but this will fade after a couple 

of hours. 

Health and Safety? 

Technicians are trained to the highest level 

in infection control; strict patch tests are 

performed 48 hours prior to treatment. 

Single use needles are used and disposed 

of by adhering to strict guidelines.

A GUIDE TO 

Getting 

Rid 

From clothes to stationary… 

I’ll be the first to admit I have 

enough to supply ten others. 

BY RUBY REED 

Why do we find it so 

hard to throw things out? 

It always seems to be the 

excuse of- I might need that 

one day. 

Well how often does this day 

come? It doesn’t (or very 

rarely anyway!). So how to 

go about this persisting trait 

of hoarding. 

With Christmas just around 

the corner maybe this month 

is the perfect time to address 

the problem- making some 

much needed room for all 

those new presents. 

Where to start the clear out? 

From the wardrobe to the kitchen drawers, it’s likely 

there are a few locations in your home that could 

be targeted. Everyone has those ‘bit of everything’ 

drawers don’t they? 

Well a first step to your new less cluttered home 

could be spending 5 minutes on these. Do you 

really need that questionable magnify glass you got 

in your Christmas cracker last year?… 

Perhaps it would be helpful to have some guideline 

questions when it comes to keeping or chucking an 

item. Try these: 

When was the last time I used this? 

If it was within the last year, the item has grounds 

for keep. If it was over a year ago, or you’re 

struggling to even remember- you know the 

answer! 

98

NOVEMBER NOVEMBER 2016 | 2016 ISSUE | #49 ISSUE | #49 LIFESTYLE 

Is there a reason i’m not 

using this item? 

A jumper with a small 

stain that won’t budge - 

you’re thinking maybe one 

day you’ll wear it when 

you paint the spare room... 

chuck! 

When is the next time I 

will need this? 

If you know exactly when 

something is going to 

come in handy then of 

course it should be kept! 

Proceed to your next item 

guilt free. 

Does it mean anything to 

me? 

Sometimes we hold on 

to things because of 

their sentimental value 

regardless of them not 

being used. These things get the keep 

pass! 

taking up? Why not pass them on, or if 

they may be of value put them on your 

eBay selling account. 

You could also donate to charity shops. 

Good luck creating some extra space! 

Until next month... 

Some items may be in fine shape (no 

doubt the reason you’ve kept them) 

but if they are really not going to come 

in handy, is it worth the space they are

WINTER IS ON IT’S WAY 

BY KATE LINES 

Kates Top Tip : Rake fallen leaves - Fallen 

leaves prevent light and air getting to plants - 

clean them up! 

Leaves are falling rapidly, and 

wind and rain are on the increase. 

Tender plants (such as bananas) 

will need protecting from frost, 

gales and freezing rains. 

Tidy up borders 

Cut down herbaceous stems and clear the tatty 

remains of annuals, but do leave a little cover 

of the perennials that fade relatively elegantly 

(sedum, astilbes and grasses for example). 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. 

The Greenhouse 

Clear out the greenhouse, wash pots and trays, clean, 

mend and oil your tools and throw away anything 

that is beyond hope or reasonable repair! 

Drain and lag... 

Save yourself untold irritation and expense by 

draining and lagging standpipes, outdoor taps, 

irrigation lines and water pumps in advance of 

sudden hard frosts. 

106

HOME & GARDEN 


Top jobs this month: 

1. Clear up fallen leaves - especially from lawns, 

ponds and beds 

2. Raise containers onto pot feet to prevent

3. Plant tulip bulbs for a spring display next year 

4. Prune roses to prevent wind-rock 

6. Cover brassicas with netting if pigeons are a 

problem 

7. Insulate outdoor containers from frost - bubble 

wrap works well 

8. Stop winter moth damage to fruit trees using 

grease bands around the trunks 

9. Put out bird food to encourage winter birds into 

the garden 

5. Plant out winter bedding

30TH ANNIVERSARY BLACK BELT EXTRAVAGANZA... 

A martial art club based at Dairy 

Hill, Halesworth and Waterlane 

Sports Centre, Lowestoft, has 

recently celebrated its 30th 

anniversary, teaching the Korean 

Martial Art of Kuk Sool Won. 

In recognition of this milestone a Black 

Belt extravaganza was held on Saturday 

24th September. The exhibition included 

over seventy practicing black belts from 

both the Lowestoft and Halesworth 

Clubs. The evening was also dedicated 

to raising funds for two charities. Ollie’s 

Heroes, a local organisation set up to 

help with living and travelling expenses 

for families with children who need long 

term care in hospital. The second charity, 

MyAware supports a condition called 

Myasthenia Gravis which is a chronic 

autoimmune / neuromuscular disease. 

The Black Belt performance was also 

dedicated to one of the clubs most valued 

and respected students Terry Twist, who 

sadly passed away recently after a short 

illness. Terry had practiced Kuk Sool 

Won for more than twenty years at the 

Halesworth club. 

Over the past 30 years, Senior Master 

Instructors, Martin and Alison Ducker 

have taught this unique martial art to 

more than 2,000 students in the Waveney 

region. Today, existing membership for 

both clubs totals 200 students, with 

ages ranging from 4 years to 80 years 

old. Many of their former students have 

gone on to open their own martial art 

schools, not only here in the UK, but also 

overseas in New Zealand and Australia. 

Lowestoft Town Mayor, Mr. Nick Webb, 

who attended the event, paid special 

tribute to the commitment and dedication 

of everyone involved in the extravaganza. 

He also sincerely wished all Kuk Sool Won 

members every success for the future.

Fans were growing simply bored of watching 

their beloved Ipswich – a fact that a 2-0 win over 

Burton will not mask. 

MUST-WIN MATCHES AGAINST THE 

LOWER RANKS HIGHLIGHT WHERE 

IPSWICH SIT AT PRESENT... 

It comes to something when 

fans look at a home match 

against Burton Albion as a 

‘must-win’. 

No disrespect 

Nigel Clough’s men who 

are making a decent stab 

at their debut season in 

the Championship. 

Especially after large 

parts of their midweek 

trip to Suffolk when they 

deserved more than their 

2-0 defeat at the hands 

of Ipswich Town. 

It was a landmark 

evening for Mick 

McCarthy – but it had 

to be. 

Ipswich scored their first goals in over 

500 minutes – with Freddie Sears ending 

his own 38-game barren run following 

Luke Chambers opening goal, the skipper 

almost as maligned as his manager in 

recent weeks. Prior to that win, the knives 

were being sharpened. 

This wasn’t just the ‘keyboard warriors’ of 

social media and, for once, this wasn’t just 

about results on the pitch. 

to 

Despite the grim stats, I was always confident 

Town would be beat their newly-promoted 

opponents. 

Just as I was equally confident that their next 

match would yield no points whatsoever, and 

so it proved as Newcastle comprehensively won 

3-0. 

Men against boys, as more than 50,000 saw 

the Rafa revolution continue to gather pace. 

Although McCarthy might disagree, it might 

be a little too early to claim that the Toon are 

watching the champions-elect. 

But Newcastle are certainly the 

ones to beat. 

So after a horrendous run was 

ended by match when Ipswich 

should have won, and did, and 

then lost a game they were 

always expected to, where does 

that leave Town? 

I fear the doom-mongers 

have slipped slightly into the 

background. A couple of bad 

results and they will return – and 

they often do in greater numbers. 

The future remains uncertain. Next up, as I 

write this, is a home match against bottom club 

Rotherham, with one win in their first 14 games. 

Another must-win Mick.

THE PLAYGROUND! 

BY ROSS “ACTION MAN” WISHART 

With a number of articles on obstacle 

course racing, it’s no surprise that 

Action Man is a fan of OCR, it’s also 

common knowledge that I’m not an 

avid runner. 

In an ideal world we’d have a short course 

packed full of obstacles... well action fans... 

you’re in luck, such a world exists and it’s 

right on our doorstep! 

The Playground, just outside of Bury St Edmunds, is a 

1km course with 25 obstacles, all of which you’ll find 

at your mainstream OCR races including favourites 

such as the 10ft wall, cargo net A-frame, incline/ 

decline monkey bars and quarter pipe ramp. 

For just £20 you can book a ‘pay & play’ session and 

have as many laps of the course wish. 

Perhaps your curious on how best to tackle 

an obstacle or improve your technique? 

Well, The Playground ‘playmakers’ are on hand 

to provide expert guidance and to aid your swift 

transition from OCR novice to OCR pro. 

Why not gather a team and generate your 

own race at The Playground? 

For a third of the cost of your average obstacle race 

you’ve got an hour to run wild at the Barrow facility.

SPORT 

How many laps can you complete in 

the time? 

There’s a place up for grabs on the coveted 

Playground leaderboard for the fastest lap. 

Obstacle course racing is great for fitness with a full 

body muscular and cardiovascular workout, for those 

of you interested in a more regular, obstacle inspired, 

fitness regime then check out The Playground 

Bootcamp an hour long session every Tuesday and 

Thursday from 6:30pm costs £8 per session or 

£50 for a whole month. By the end of it there’ll be 

no doubt that you’ve had one hell of a workout, I 

certainly can vouch for that! 

The facility also hold regular events and this month 

we have the ‘Battle of the Knights’ in aid of the St 

Nicolas’ Hospice a 4km run is followed by a lap 

of The Playground course, finish in the top 10% of 

competitors to earn the title of Knight and free entry 

into next year’s event to defend your title for more 

info see www.stnicolashospice.org.uk/battle-of-theknights. 

The Playground (or as I like to call it Action Man 

heaven!) is an absolute must for any obstacle race 

enthusiasts or those eager for a taste in OCR without 

committing to big race.

#21 ENTERTAINMENT 

BY JACK STEVENS 

MUSIC 

The final night of Wild Beast’s UK tour 

to support their latest release ‘Boy 

King’ ended at the Cambridge Junction 

this month. 

Not only did they provide a remarkable and 

regimented performance that’s clearly roadtested, 

but they brought along an incredibly 

riveting support act. 

Support tonight comes from Jamie Lee’s 

ever-elegant, always enthralling outfit, Money. 

After a spattering of live performances 

throughout the year since the January release 

of their second record ‘Suicide Songs’, they 

proved on the final night of this tour why they 

should be intrinsically regarded as one of 

today’s most ingenious songwriting troupes. 

With his dry wit of a different order and a 

confidence so naturally born, Lee steers a 

captivated audience through a selection of 

recent songs. Mesmerising as always, with an 

idiosyncratic British patois. 

One thing is certain of Wild Beasts. The new 

material is powerful and compelling live, 

much more so than on record. Opening with 

‘Big Cat’, it’s still as sleazy and sexy as ever. 

The stage show itself is pastellised, neon, like 

a dystopian Vice City, with it’s bold lighting 

and it’s games console visual rhetoric. 

The Beast’s latest reincarnation works for 

this stage in their career. Surprisingly, this 

new direction lends itself well to the old 

sound, despite hefty comparisons. Favourites 

like ‘We’ve Still Got The Taste Dancing On 

Our Tongues’ is tastefully reworked with 

harmonising sawtooth synth parts, which 

compliment the new angle. 

What’s apparent from this performance is how 

Wild Beasts aren’t afraid of moving away from 

the last record and creating a new direction. 

Always evolving, always fresh, and still never 

sounding like anyone else. What makes this 

bold career ethic even more commendable 

is how they weave their former set into their 

new persona, by remodelling the songs of old. 

It’s great to see how ‘Wanderlust’ can sit so 

uniformly next to new track ‘Alpha Female’. 

Despite initially not caring for ‘Boy King’, it’s 

always wonderful to be proved wrong when 

seeing an established and respected band 

perform new material live. It’s different when 

seeing songs in a new light... in this particular 

instance, the light is forensically bright, and 

neon. Despite a shaky performance of ‘All The 

King’s Men’, this set put Wild Beasts back to 

the forefront and manifested their position 

as one of Britain’s most distinctive and 

accomplished live acts. 

See you next month - Jack

SLEEPING WITH YOUR DOG IS GOOD FOR YOU... 

I’ve heard it whispered, you shouldn’t do it: 

inviting your dog into your bed. People believe 

it’s dirty, and it’s just not good for you. People 

have been saying it for years. I disagree of 

course! The best thing is I have found out a 

few reasons for why it is good for you, and us 

four-legged best friends. It really is a win-win 

situation for everyone involved! 

#1: We Give You Comfort 

Whether it’s our warm little bodies or rhythmic 

breathing, there’s just something so comforting 

about a dog. We make your bed feel even cosier! 

#2: We Fight Insomnia 

Our presence promotes calmness and a feeling 

of safety. So, basically, we take away all of the 

things that keep you up at night! 

asked, can work wonders during a particularly 

tough time. 

#5: We Make You Feel Safe 

Knowing that there is another presence watching 

over you when you’re at your most vulnerable 

is such a comforting feeling. Our super hearing 

and tendency to bark at strangers are all factors 

in this. 

#6: It’s Good For Us Too! 

There’s nothing in the world that your dog loves 

more than you, so allowing us to spend that 

extra snuggle time will make our day. We receive 

comfort from you in the same way that you do 

from them, so this sleep arrangement is good for 

everyone! 

Twitter @bouncearchie 

#3: Snuggling With Us Relieves Stress And 

Anxiety 

As therapy dogs have shown, a pooch’s presence 

is a great stress reliever. Our positive outlook 

seems to be contagious, and our attentive nature 

can be very reassuring. 

#4: We Help Fight Depression 

One thing that dogs offer without question 

is unconditional love. For someone battling 

depression, this type of connection can feel 

hard to come by. To receive it, with no questions
