Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful 

festive break. After a much needed rest, we are

have eaten way too many mince pies!

engagement to my new fiancé Sam Hunt, he has 

made me a very happy lady indeed! 

I am now on my normal “Post-Christmas Health 

Kick,” however, this year I am doing it slightly 

differently. A few months back I discovered LRG

working out with LRG’s weekly online videos at

your family can get involved.

Healthy 

Indian cooking... 

BY AWARD WINNING 

CHEF ABDUS SHAHID 

Prep Time 

30 mins 

Cooking Time: 

15 mins 

Serves 4 

USE OIL SPARINGLY... 

Just a splash is needed. Using non-stick cookware can 

help you to limit the use of oil when cooking curries. 

CUT DOWN ON FAT... 

If trying to cut down the fat content of your meal, 

change the menu and cook Indian dishes and breads 

that require no frying. 

TRY TANDOORI... 

Grill, boil, steam and bake instead of frying where 

possible. Tandoori grilling is the best form of cooking 

where minimal or no oil is used and the intense heat 

cooks the food quickly, sealing in all the nutrients. 

TRY OUR CHICKEN TANDOORI... 

This low-fat curried chicken is packed full of flavour. 

It’s quick to cook and the marinade does all the work. 

Method 

1. Mix the lemon juice with the paprika and red onions 

in a large shallow dish. Slash each chicken thigh three 

times, then turn them in the juice and set aside for 

10 mins. 

Ingredients 

• Juice of 2 lemons 

• 4 tsp paprika 

• 2 red onions, finely chopped 

• 16 skinless chicken thighs 

• Vegetable oil, for brushing 

The Marinade 

• 300ml Greek yogurt 

• large piece ginger, grated 

• 4 garlic cloves, crushed 

• ¾ tsp garam masala 

• ¾ tsp ground cumin 

• ½ tsp chilli powder 

• ¼ tsp turmeric 

2. Mix all of the marinade ingredients together and 

pour over the chicken. Give everything a good mix, 

then cover and chill for at least 1 hr. This can be done 

up to a day in advance. 

3. Heat the grill. Lift the chicken pieces onto a rack 

over a baking tray. Brush over a little oil and grill 

for 8 mins on each side or until lightly charred and 

completely cooked through.

Free cakes for kids Thetford, can you help?... 

Free Cakes for Kids is a community service to 

families who find it difficult to provide a birthday 

cake for their child. 

A birthday cake is baked by local volunteers with the 

child’s favourite theme (where possible). The cake 

is then delivered to the family. This service covers 

Thetford, Bury st Edmunds and the area immediately 

surrounding, although is at the group’s discretion 

where they will and won’t cover so get 

in touch if unsure. FCFK has over 80 

organisations running though the UK 

with 1000’s of cakes being delivered 

every year. 

Who is eligible? Any child who would 

not otherwise receive a birthday 

cake is eligible. This may be due to 

financial reasons, but could also be 

due to circumstances (e.g. young 

carers, illness etc.). Families can refer 

themselves to receive a cake, however 

we do prefer to work direct family organizations such 

as Home start or other agencies. 

How can I help? There are lots of way to help. By 

becoming a volunteer baker you can help us achieve 

our goal of putting a smile on as many children’s 

(and parents) faces as possible. You don’t need to be 

an expert baker just have the basic knowledge and 

want to help. Becoming a volunteer baker is flexible; 

you can fit it round your commitments and bake 

when you have the time. There is no pressure to bake. 

For other ways to help please ask. 

What will the cake be like and how will it be 

delivered? All our cakes are different, we like to 

personalise them based on the child’s interests. 

The cake will be delivered by a local 

volunteer direct to the family or to the 

organisation supporting the family. 

Why do we do it? We do it because 

we care. There are a lot of families out 

there that are currently in a situation 

that prevents them from providing a 

Birthday cake for their child. 

We currently have 21 fantastic bakers 

who have made more than 50 cakes 

over the past 2 years. The cakes come 

in all different shapes and sizes from 

football shirts, Frozen & Batman to a 

pretty pink cake covered in butterflies, Ironman & 

Harry Potter to just name a few. 

FCFK do not receive any funding however donations 

are greatly received to help our bakers deliver such 

wonderful gifts.

JANUARY JANUARY 2017 | 2017 ISSUE | ISSUE #51 | #51 FASHION 

BY ZEE BATTERSBY 

I’m not old i’m 

retro 

Check out my very 

own fashion website 

imnotoldimretro.co.uk 

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

reminder about me. I’m Zena (Zee for short) I’m 42, a mother and a 

grandmother. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 

As is customary I shall 

be sharing with you my 

plans for 2017. 

Whilst some people 

like to have a list of 

resolutions, I’ve got a ‘TO 

DO’ list! 

Number one on my list 

is to add to my tattoo 

collection and get my 

arm finished. 

I love the fact my generation are 

younger and braver than ever before 

and I’m looking forward to seeing 

all the tattooed grandparents as 

we get older, not to mention the 

grandmothers with winged 

eyeliner! 

I’ve said before I’m a ‘girls’ 

girl, however, as far as the 

January sales are concerned 

its every woman for herself! 

Here are my tips for getting 

the best out of the sales... 

Creating a list that you can 

refer to on the day will help keep you 

focused on the task in hand. 

Concentrate on 

styles that wont need 

replacing as well as 

classic pieces that 

won’t date. Above all 

make sure you invest 

in quality fabrics that 

12


FASHION 

will stand the test of time. 

Beautifully cut dresses, trousers, 

blouses and jackets can be cleverly 

layered to take you from winter to 

spring. 

If sticking solely to the classics feels a 

little too sensible, it’s a good idea to 

update existing outfits for the trends 

that you like from the new season. 

This spring/summer, denim comes in all 

shapes and forms and it won’t be going 

away any time soon. 

The best strategy is to 

think about the timeless 

investment pieces that you 

can wear in lots of different 

ways. 

Mules are having a ‘moment’ 

that will continue well into 

the New Year. 

In general I try to stick to classics: in 

the winter I always buy a coat, some 

knitwear and some boots and in the 

summer I opt for light dresses and 

statement sandals. 

Finally, if someone tells you that you 

don’t need that extra pair of shoes, 

ignore of them, you don’t need that 

kind of negativity in your life, but a 

new pair of shoes can go a long way to 

boosting your own self confidence. 

Stay stylish - Love Zee x

NEW YEAR, 

NEW ME? 

AUBURN BOUTIQUE 

“New Year, New Me?” – Every Woman, EVER 

This is the lie we undoubtedly tell 

ourselves every year. 

the outfit is completed when paired with our ‘Cara’ 

suede black boot. This creates an all round Boho 

feel but its clear that the key piece is our Camel 

Waistcoat. 

Equally you can take the Waistcoat and create 

a whole new dynamic and style. Just by adding 

different prints, a few layers and a contrasting Skinny 

Jean. Our Waistcoat can be worn as a key layering 

piece in the autumn/winter months, or a lightweight 

coat alternative in the spring/summer months. Its 

an Incredibly versatile piece that can make or break 

your outfit. 

And whilst many women stick to it and really do 

make difference, there is a vast majority; of which I 

am completely and un-regretably one, that is all talk 

no action. 

So instead of crying over those unshaven pounds, 

why not save a few and make a feasible resolution 

this year. Instead of spending hundreds of pounds 

on a gym membership that you will frantically use 

for two weeks after Christmas and then promptly 

forget you ever owned. Use that money to buy a 

few key pieces this January that can help build your 

wardrobe and enhance the outfits you already own 

as well as the ones that catch your eye accidently 

on that weekly “window shopping” session. So, 

Instead of picking holes in your body this January; 

embrace it, learn how to dress it, and style it. 

“New Year, New Wardrobe Staple Pieces!!” – 

Elle, Auburn Boutique 

NATURALLY BOHO: 

Now don’t get me wrong, I know that Boho Style 

isn’t for everyone. However, the patterns, styles 

and cuts are extremely versatile for any season 

depending on which colours you buy, your garment 

can last a lifetime in outfit years. Our new ‘Byoung’ 

Camel Waistcoat is the perfect example of how one 

piece of clothing can be worn in a variety of ways. 

With a “Naturally Boho” feel the waistcoat easily 

compliments our ‘Byoung’ paisley print dress and 

Camel Byoung Waistcoat £65, Paisley 

Byoung Dress £75, Ribbed Byoung 

Rollneck £35, Circle of Trust Jeans £85, 

Longline Garcia Shirt £55, Suede Cara 

Shoe Boot £110 

THESE BOOTS ARE MADE FOR 

WALKING: 

If you purchase only one key piece this January, 

make it a statement shoe. Of all our garments I 

consider footwear to be the most important; an 

entire outfit can be complimented or tarnished 

by whatever shoes you chose to wear. So why not 

reverse the process and build your outfits around a 

good shoe? Having a quirky, unique shoe boot like 

our ‘Cara’ Atlantic Boot can help to form the basis of 

a wonderful wardrobe. Not only do you have the 

Midnight Blue, Forest Green and Snake effect Black 

to pick colours for outfits from, you have all the 

14


FASHION 

colours that compliment them to chose from as 

well. The snakeskin effect adds an extra oomph of 

sass, but also breaks the shoe down and makes it 

look less blocked and heavy. This opens the doors 

to endless possibilities in terms of adding new 

Suede Cara Shoe Boot £130, Faux Fur 

Garcia Skirt £69, Wool Garcia Poncho 

£55, Circle of Trust Top £39, Garcia 

Distressed Bomber £75, Navy Leather 

Gloves £25 

patterns and embellishments into the mix to 

support the “Texture Clashing” trend we talked 

about in our last article. We have portrayed this by 

pairing our boots with our Grey ‘Garcia’ Bomber 

with a distressed feel that has been enhanced by 

sequins and beading. And for a more elegant look 

we have incorporated, our chic Navy Leather Gloves 

and our ‘Garcia’ Animal print fur effect Midi Skirt 

perfect for that day to night look. 

With the right shoes the possibilities are endless, so 

remember quality over quantity. Don’t be afraid to 

add a splash of colour or pattern. 

With a positive attitude you will have the perfect 

wardrobe that is to die for and you might actually 

keep your New Years resolution for 2017! Look 

good, feel great.

Accessories are a guys best friend 

during the colder season. 

TIPS & ADVICE THIS SEASON 

ACCESSORIES 

2017 

Sometimes it’s the small pieces and accessories 

that really up your style game. What you’ll often 

find however, is that no matter the size, the price 

tag stays the same (high). 

With New Year sales in full swing this is a great 

opportunity to pick up those items you’ve been 

missing. 

I’ve collected some ideas to get you started. Be 

sure to check in store and online as the beauty 

of an accessory is that you don’t have to worry 

about seeing something perfect only to then 

discover XXXL is the only size left in the sale… 

get going! 

BY DANIEL FRANCIS 

CARD HOLDERS 

The day of the wallet is dead and has been for 

quite some time. A card holder forces you to only 

take out the necessary plastic (so leave those 

16


FASHION 

points cards at home, the bar does not 

accept). Ted Baker has a great selection 

that range from simple and elegant to more 

patterned stand out holders. 

GLOVES 

An essential item for the colder time of year 

and something you’re likely to wear every 

day so it’s important you invest in a decent 

pair. Leather gloves are the way to go if you 

want classic, durable and stylish. However, 

the more tech savvy amongst us will want 

to get their hands on a pair of touchscreen 

compatible gloves to avoid that awkward 

moment when you can’t unlock and scan 

your Starbucks card when shooting for that 

free extra pump of syrup! Muji offer up a 

pair for under £20.00 

UNDERWEAR 

Designer Tom Ford suggests replacing your 

underwear every six months. So if you can, 

great. If not, then just invest in decent picks 

to ensure they last without losing their 

shape or colour. You can pick up Calvin 

Klein packs from Topman or ASOS online. 

DOCUMENT HOLDER 

No one wants to that guy who shows up 

to a meeting, trying to impress, handing 

out folded or creased documents. Fear not for 

document holders are in full swing at the moment 

with most stores and brands offering a variety of 

different options. These holders are the perfect 

size and lightweight so there are no excuses not 

to pick one up. 

Other Ideas… 

• Cufflinks 

• Travel Flask 

• Shoe Cleaning Kit

JANUARY JANUARY 2017 | 2017 ISSUE | ISSUE #51 | #51 WEDDING 

“When you own a wedding venue, and the day finally comes to actually get 

married yourselves, you begin to feel the pressure build!” 

We hear from Serena Saunders, Managing Director of Sheene Mill. 

SheeneMill 

The Most Amazing Day of our Lives!... 

‘Jordan and I had been together for 9 years when he popped 

the question… It was in a moment of complete surprise, when 

I was feeling anything but glamorous! Whilst we had been 

together for a long time, we had a business to run together and 

always had bigger, more important things to focus on within 

the business – The concept of even planning a wedding for 

‘myself’, just felt like something I would never have the time to 

do!! However, as every ‘bride to be’ does, I found my time and 

started to begin the planning process!... 

The first thing we needed to confirm was the venue!... Holding 

our wedding at the Sheene Mill was a ‘no brainer’! Whilst I 

admit, I was a little worried about the potential added pressure 

and the concept of being ‘at work’ at first, I also recognise how 

beautiful our venue is and could think of no place better for us 

both to get married! 

The Sheene Mill is so much more than just a venue to us – it is, 

quite literally our home! I worked at the Sheene Mill from the 

age of 11, when my parents owned the business, to then come 

back 10 years after they left to own the business together with 

my partner, Jordan. The Sheene Mill has been the home to so 

many of my happy memories, from my childhood swims in the 

river, to the recent years… My Mum and her now husband got 

married at Sheene Mill, my Dad and his Fiancee got engaged 

here! 

Getting married at our own venue also meant I had complete 

trust in my staff and that they would execute everything the 

way they know we’d want it to be done. It also gave us the 

flexibility to really go ‘to town’ and actually enjoy the venue 

from the other side for once! Selecting the suppliers was 

22 22

WEDDING 


JANUARY 2017 | ISSUE #51 | WEDDING 

perhaps slightly easier for us than 

most, we see a lot of different 

wedding suppliers on a regular 

basis. After what felt like years, the 

day finally came!... 

Walking into the Sheene Mill 

everything suddenly became very 

real. The place looked absolutely 

beautiful, and for a moment I felt so 

proud, proud of my amazing staff 

and of our lovely venue. 

After being ‘officially’ married, the 

fun could properly begin and I was 

able to try and ‘soak in’ everything 

around me! The pavilion looked 

stunning, with beautiful deep red, 

cream and soft peach flowers 

draping softly from the railings and 

arching over where Jordan and I 

had said our vows. 

Big flower displays lined our 

walkway and rose petals to match 

lined the cream carpet I’d walked 

down, matching the cream bows on 

the chairs and little hearts of rose 

petal confetti on each seat. 

As the drinks circulated, our 

magician started to make his way 

around our guests, the string 

quartet began to play and the 

divine canapés were in full flow! I 

could hear laughter, beautiful music, 

and smell beautiful food... 

I felt happy and relaxed, knowing 

everything was just as I had 

imagined. With the canapés starting 

our appetites off, it was soon 

time to make our way through for 

our favourite 8 course, exquisite 

wedding breakfast menu!! 

As I walked into our dining room, 

I was literally blown away!... There was a beautiful, floor to ceiling 

blossom tree as soon as we walked in, with stunning crystals, 

candles and our guests names hanging from it, there was a 

guitarist sat underneath it, playing our favourite songs… And the 

table set up looked, well, absolutely breath-taking! The speeches 

too were certainly interesting! 

As the day progressed feeling fat and full, Jordan and I 

disappeared for a few pictures, whilst our evening guests began 

to arrive… They were greeted to Moet Ice, served with fresh 

strawberries and a range of savoury and dessert canapés. We 

danced, we laughed, we ate (some more!) and we partied hard!… 

When we left at 5am, my feet were so sore I could barely even 

walk across the road to our home! We can’t thank our staff and 

suppliers enough for all their efforts and for making our wedding 

day the most AMAZING day of our lives!’

the foreseeable. 

So, what do you do now? 

Firstly, think about how long you want your engagement to be? 

The average engagement is around 18 months nowadays. 

Then chat with your partner and family about what your ideal 

day looks like. 

Then consider the following; 

• Season/Time of year 

• Location – immediate area/local, in the UK, or abroad 

• Size - Intimate or larger affair 

• What type of ceremony – religious, civil or humanist 

• Your main priorities 

• Budget 

• Who you would like to help you plan 

• Your wedding party, Bridesmaids, Best man, Ushers etc 

• Will you need a hired wedding planner or coordinator on the 

day 

• Any particular dates that are ideal or special too you 

• Theme, colour scheme, style and inspirations 

26

WEDDING 


Once you are ready start looking 

at venues and have a date in mind, 

try attending local wedding fairs 

and open days to gauge the type 

of venues available, local suppliers 

and costs. 

Consider a subscription to a few 

wedding magazines, our favourites 

are You & Your Wedding Magazine 

and Wedding Ideas. 

Create a scrap book and a folder 

or file to collect literature and 

magazine clippings. 

Create a Pinterest board (remember 

to keep it ‘secret’) and pin any 

wedding ideas that inspire you. 

Remember not to get carried away 

with Pinterest, be realistic as many 

of the images are highly styled and 

extremely lavish and it may not 

be possible to replicate exactly, 

especially if you are on a budget. 

Try to enjoy every minute, keep 

organised using lists, set up a 

wedding only email account and 

involve those close to you. 

Their second opinion and advice 

could be very useful. 

Happy Planning...

The heads up 

on hats 

As the mother of the bride, or groom, you really want to make 

an impression on one of the proudest days of your life. 

Milliner Mary-Anne 

Morrison answers your 

questions on the way to 

find the perfect hat for a 

wedding. 

Q: I’m not used to wearing hats 

– where do I start? 

A: There are many things to 

consider – hair colour, height, 

accessories, the occasion, the 

style and colour of your outfit 

and of course, what you feel 

comfortable in. 

Generally, the brim of the hat 

matches the main colour of the 

outfit with a splash of colour on 

the crown or trim to highlight 

other details, but not always, 

and this is where my skills 

come in. 

Don’t be afraid to try hats on, 

it will soon become apparent 

what’s best for you. 

sweeping brim or one with a 

trim that lifts the eye, the eye, 

will soften a rectangular face. 

Broad and angled brims with a 

wide crown, will narrow a round 

face and almost any shape suits 

an oval face, although large 

brims are the most flattering. 

If you are petite choose a 

narrow brim with a high crown 

to add height; if you are tall you 

can carry off most styles, but be 

careful to avoid a hat that looks 

too small. 

Q: I want to look confident 

wearing my hat. How do I 

achieve this 

A: If a hat is fitted properly, 

feels comfy and co-ordinates 

with your outfit you will wear it 

with confidence. 

My aim when making you a hat 

is to make you feel special and 

on-trend.

Q: What style will suit me?

hat.

WEDDING 


PLANNING A WEDDING CAN BE A VERY DAUNTING TASK, UNLESS YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE SUPER 

ORGANISED TYPES, BUT HERE ARE OUR 5 TOP TIPS TO GETTING YOUR PERFECT DAY SPOT ON: 

1) Give yourself time to work out all the details. 

The top item on your plan is getting your wedding 

ceremony and reception venues sorted. Once you 

have done this then you will have a date you are 

working towards. 

2) Work out the things you could maybe do 

yourself. This could save some money for the 

overall scheme, but remember don’t give yourself 

jobs that require any of your time on the day. 

3) Plan everything with your groom. He may be 

happy to go along with your scheme and ideas, 

but plan this together, that way you will have 

great memories to look back on and it’s your first 

chance to work as a team. Believe me it makes 

great practice for when you have children. 

4) Seek advice from wedding professionals. 

Many wedding companies will have provided 

services to your venue before and for the items 

you don’t want to do yourself, their advice is key. 

This will make sure you are less flustered on the 

day, as you know they will manage all the parts 

for you. 

5) Remember that the devil is in the details, but 

also remember that it is only you, that knows 

those details. So if something isn’t right, or is 

missing on the day, your guests will probably not 

notice. So relax and enjoy your big day together! 

To get more great advice from true professionals, 

why not visit The Newmarket Wedding Show on 

Sunday 22nd January, between 11am and 4pm. 

There will be around 140 people to talk to who 

will be able to give advice on everything to help 

you plan your wedding.

Taking up Tradition 

In a lot of ways, British wedding 

celebrations haven’t changed all 

that much over the ages. 

The process from church to reception, wedding 

breakfast to celebration – it’s much been the 

same for centuries. However, it can sometimes 

feel that with so many ideas out there, the 

traditional British wedding could be overlooked. 

Here are just a couple of simple ideas that could 

lend themselves to a more typically traditional 

wedding: 

Receptions and Toasting: Local Fruits 

Custom tends to lean towards champagne or a 

similar alternative for receptions and toasting, to 

the bride and groom. Traditionally, it would not 

have been possible to make wine from grapes 

proficiently in the UK or source from abroad with 

ease. Instead, the celebratory drink of choice 

would have been mead or cider. With such a 

beautiful array of mead and cider available both 

locally and nationally, why not take tradition by 

the horn and opt for a fruity cider reception and a 

toast with sweet honey mead. 

Dress to Impress? 

Way back in Roman times bridesmaids were 

instructed to wear similar attire to that of the 

bride, in order to ward of evils spirits when 

accompanying her on her wedding day. So while 

some may say not to wear white on a brides 

wedding day, as a sign of respect and tradition, it 

was actually regarded as common practice in the 

days of the Roman Empire. 

The Favours Five 

Traditionally guests would have received five 

almonds, each signifying a token of well wishing 

from the bride and groom: Health, Happiness, 

Prosperity, Fertility and Longevity. If you don’t want 

to give almonds as favours, why not a beautifully 

decorated crossword with the five words hidden 

with clues. Or perhaps a differing five items? 

Ultimately, it’s not always about the next best 

thing or what’s trending online.

Headache, Insomnia, Low blood pressure. 

How to try the pose: 

1. Stand in Tadasana. Inhale and raise your arms 

perpendicular to the floor. Either keep the arms 

parallel, palms facing inward, or join the palms. 

2.Exhale and bend your knees, trying to take the 

thighs as nearly parallel to the floor as possible. 

The knees will project out over the feet, and the 

torso will lean slightly forward over the thighs 

until the front torso forms approximately a right 

angle with the tops of the thighs. Keep the inner 

thighs parallel to each other and press the heads 

of the thigh bones down toward the heels.

Exhale and release your arms to your sides into 

Tadasana. 

Beginner’s Tip: 

To help you stay in this pose, perform it near 

a wall. Stand with your back to the wall, a few 

inches away from the wall. Adjust your position 

relative to the wall so that when you bend into 

the position, your tailbone just touches and is 

supported by the wall.

The secret to a comfortable stay in Utkatasana 

is the release of the heads of the thigh bones 

toward the heels. Once in the pose, bring your 

hands to your tops thighs. Nestle the bases of 

your palms into the creases of the groins and 

push the heads of thighs toward the heels, 

digging the heels deep into the floor. Against 

these actions, lift the sitting bones up into the 

pelvis.

The Wines

This country is about the 5th largest producer of wine in the world, 

with a history going back to it’s conquest by Spain. Cuttings were 

introduced in 1557 which started the wine industry. 

growth was established. Even with the ups and 

downs of the Argentine economy in the 20th 

Century, the wine industry survived with much 

internal consumption. 

BY ‘WINE BUFF’ FRED FISHER 

Initially it was only for basic quality but in large 

amounts. Jesuit missionaries expanded the 

cultivation of vines, including it’s most famous 

area, Mendoza, close to the Andes mountain range. 

Up to the 1990’s the quality was not considered to 

be exportable and most was consumed locally or 

for sacramental purposes. 

Since the Falklands war in 1982 quality increased 

gradually leading to today’s culture of exporting 

high quality wine. By 1885 with the construction 

of the rail links to the capital Buenos Aires, more 

With foreign investment, by the end of the 20th 

Century growth in quality wines led to exports 

around the world. 

Climate and Geography 

Most wine areas are in the west of the country 

bordering the Andes. These areas are somewhat 

sheltered by the mountains and therefore have 

a fairly dry climate with summer temperatures 

reaching 40C, and winter about 10C. Even the 

same areas at high altitude go down to 0C but 

little frost.

range from mostly alluvial to clay, gravel and 

limestone. 

The vines 

Being in the southern hemisphere means that 

the growing season is between October and 

February. Harvesting can take place up to April 

depending on the local micro-climate. Grape 

pickings are largely by hand but some is by 

machine. 

Yields are generally high, 5 or so more times as 

those in Europe. As quality increases the yields 

will decrease accordingly. 

The phylloxera louse , although present 

in Argentina, is a weak strain and 

under control. As a result of 

this most vines are ungrafted 

which despite the isolation of 

Argentina, carries a risk. 

Regions 

Mendoza 

The vast majority of wine comes 

from and around the Mendoza region, 

to the west of the country and in the lee 

of the Andes. The acreage here is more than the 

acreage of New Zealand and Australia combined. 

This region can be split into several sub-regions, 

Maipu and Lujan de Cuyo being the most 

important. Other notable areas are Uco Valley 

and Tupungato.

brandies. 

La Rioja is the oldest area and is best at making 

white wines. Lack of water can be a problem. 

The North West have the sub-regions of 

Catamarca, Jujuy and Salta with planting at high 

altitudes of 1500 metres. The Cafayate area in 

Salta has plantings even at 1660 metres. 

Rio Negro and some of Patagonia have cooler 

climates. They only produce about 2% of the 

countries wine but lean more to prestige wines as 

a result of the cooler climate. 

Grapes 

Of particular importance is the Malbec originating 

in Bordeaux France. It is used well in high 

altitude vineyards. 

Also introduced by French and 

Italian winemakers, who are 

consulted, are many European 

varieties. These include Chardonnay, 

Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Muscat, 

Torrontes, Cabernet Sauvignon, 

Merlot, Syrah, Pinot Noir, Tempranillo 

and Barbera. Many others are used 

including Bonarda a rarer variety from Savoie in 

France. 

Still accounting for about 30% of production 

is the Criolla, used for basic bulk wine and 

frequently in a cardboard carton or produced as 

concentrate. 

Other Regions 

San Juan is the next largest vineyard area. Hotter 

than Mendoza, while making good reds they have 

Fortunately international varieties are taking over, 

especially the Malbec, creating Argentina as a 

renowned quality wine producer. 

Conclusions... 

Try comparing grape varieties with their European counterparts and you would be in for a surprise. If 

you can locate high altitude wines e.g Salta and Cafayate then you are in for another surprise.

Beer, Bands & Beards 

SUCCESS AT THE BECCLES BEER FESTIVAL... 

The Beccles Beer Festival 

returned to Beccles Public 

Hall in November for its 

5th year and was again a 

resounding success. 

More than 4,000 pints of beer 

and 500 pints of cider and 

lager were enjoyed by visitors 

from all over East Anglia! 

They were joined by real ale 

enthusiasts from Beccles 

and the Waveney Valley and 

the Beer festival is first and 

foremost a community event, 

in the community Public Hall, 

raising funds for the community pool - Beccles 

Lido. 

The event also promotes local produce, and the 30 

real ales, 3 ciders and a lager were from 25 local 

breweries, all within 30 miles of Beccles – with 

Green Jack’s Trawlerboys Best Bitter being voted 

“Beer of the Festival”. 

The crowds enjoyed live bands on Friday and 

Saturday and despite Friday being ladies night the 

weekend also attracted plenty of beer loving men 

in beards! 

It was a huge success, raising much needed funds 

for the town’s outdoor swimming pool, and next 

year’s event is already being planned for 17-19 

November. In fact, many visitors were asking if 

there could be a spring Beccles Beer Festival…

THE BEST OF 2016 

A really tough part of our job here at 

Bounce HQ is reviewing the areas finest 

hotels, eateries, events and activities. To 

start the New Year off, we revisit our top 

three highlights of 2016...

FOOD & DRINK 

restaurant Frederick’s. Fredrick’s has more 

sophisticated fare, serving fine modern 

European cuisine by candlelight. We were also 

delighted to see a whole menu specifically for 

vegetarians. 

Overall the Ickworth presented us with a place 

to relax in, whilst providing incredible food 

and a first-rate source of outdoor adventures.

Following a close second, was 

The Bildeston Crown, a trendy yet 

traditional village local, painted 

out in bold colours, stunning 

murals and lined with original 

timber frames. 

Our first highlight from 2016 had 

to be Ickworth House Hotel. 

The hotel itself is unmistakably grand, all the 

high ceilings and aristocratic touches you’d 

expect of an 18th century ancestral home. 

The most striking thing you’ll notice as you 

arrive, heading up the estate’s long drive, is 

the Rotunda. 

All of the rooms are name after regular guests 

during its halcyon days. There are 27 rooms 

in the main hotel, which are individually 

furnished, in keeping with the classical style of 

the building. 

This original 15th century coaching inn has 

been imaginatively refurbished to say the 

least. Owners, Hayley and Chris ran the Crown 

for ten years, and decided to move on to a 

new challenge. 

After an offer they couldn’t refuse from the 

previous owner, they decided to call it home 

once more and returned to the Crown to 

restore it to its shining glory, and that they 

certainly have. 

Throughout the building all the lovely timber 

frames, original beams, and an inglenook 

fireplace survives, however the interiors are 

decorated in dark bold colours, stripped 

floorboards, amazing sofas and a mixture of 

contemporary and traditional art on the walls. 

Our kind of place! 

There are two restaurants at the hotel. The 

Conservatory, which serves breakfast, lunch 

and dinner and the adult-only fine dining 

The bar serves cocktails perfect for a predinner 

drink, and as for dinner itself, what a 

selection we were presented with. 

57


Easton White Horse 

The menu offers a ‘Classic’ menu or a ‘Select’ 

menu and you can choose between the two. 

From the décor, to the rooms, to the food The 

Bildeston Crown had it all to offer. 

Recently renovated and taken over by The 

Chestnut Group, who have also just launched ‘The 

Northgate’ in Bury St Edmunds, the pretty 17thcentury 

pub on the small village green certainly 

has a lot to offer.

thebildestoncrown.com | Phone : 01449 740510 

Finally, nestled within the Deben 

Valley, 12 miles from the Suffolk 

Coast, The White Horse is situated 

in the picturesque village of 

Easton. 

Surrounded by quaint countryside, we were 

delighted to have option to sit outside on the 

patio, whilst selecting from the menu, however 

when presented with the menu this was not an 

easy task. 

As we journeyed inside the building, admiring old 

wooden beams and the quirky design features, 

(including some tasteful taxidermy), we took 

our seats in the intimate setting of one of the

JANUARY 2017 | ISSUE #51 | FOOD & DRINK 

TO DETOX OR 

NOT TO DETOX… 

is that the question? 

BY EMMA HARVEY LAWRENCE 

I have had my fair share of fad dieting 

and 7 day detox packages and I can 

honestly say that I have been consistently 

disappointed. Haven’t you? Why not try 

something different this New Year? 

Rather than focusing on a New You, have a go at 

creating a Better You, and I promise it will last longer 

than the first week of January. 

What does ‘detox’ mean? 

Quite literally, to detox your body, is to abstain from 

or rid the body of toxic or unhealthy substances. 

From this, a lot of people tend to follow short-term 

‘detox diets’ that essentially deprives and gives 

nothing back to the body or mind, for the longer 

term. 

But what about ridding your toxins, avoiding further 

intake of those that you wish to remove and then 

build the foundations for long-term lifestyle changes, 

too? To benefit the way you feel as well as the way 

you look. 

How can I detox & get the results I am looking for? 

In short, the simplest way is to find a Nutritional 

Therapist. You may have initial goals of feeling 

brighter, losing weight, increasing energy levels etc… 

What your Nutritional Therapist will do is provide you 

with constructive methods, to follow through with 

those goals. 

A Nutritional Therapist can provide meal plans, 

health advise and better still get to the bottom of 

any lingering questions regarding food intolerance, 

allergies or cravings. Through tests, thorough 

questionnaires and an in-depth consultation, you will 

have put all of your food and lifestyle related woes 

into the hands of a trained and resourceful therapist. 

How can I tell if it is working? 

Pursuing the recommendations from your Nutritional 

Therapist may not be a quick fix but I can confidently 

say that any changes in your diet and your lifestyle, 

will be felt and seen over time. 

You will be expected to follow up with your 

Nutritional Therapist every month or so, so that they 

can support you in your journey, towards becoming a 

better you and achieve what you to, for yourself. 

Is it possible to detox the mind as well as the body? 

By simply taking control over what you eat and do, 

can be an incredibly empowering process. The more 

confidence you have, the more you stick to a routine 

that routine will evolve with you, so that you are 

in charge of keeping yourself stimulated as well as 

nourished. 

So why not give it a go? Make a New Year’s 

resolution that lasts and focus on the you that you 

are, to be the best you can be.

Death, Delusion, Dementia and Deceit 

A day in the life of a Private Client Solicitor 

The usual defi nition is Private Client but only 

other lawyers will understand that term. If I say 

Wills, Trust and Probate I can see people’s eyes 

glazing over. When I mention that I handle peoples’ 

matters by being a Deputy or Attorney, 

people then think I am a fi nancial advisor. So 

now if the situation is suitable, I say that I deal 

with death, delusion, dementia and deceit. 

Granted that sounds somewhat irreverent but it is 

an apt description of what my day and 

working life involves. 

So how do these four “D’s” feature in my daily 

working life? Death is the uniting factor that none 

of us can avoid but we can make provision for 

our family on our passing by making a Will. I 

hear a lot of supposed reasons for not making 

Wills from “I don’t have anything”, “my wife/ 

husband will get it all anyway”, “it’s too depressing” 

and I still encounter people who feel that 

making a Will will hasten their departure from 

this world. 

My involvement in drawing up Wills for individuals 

is to ensure that your hard earned assets do 

go to the people you love, care for and wish to 

benefi t. If you do not make a Will, it still surprises 

people who actually inherit the assets, especially 

if you are not married to a partner. I have seen 

too many times the consequences of not making 

a Will where the person you wish to inherit is 

not covered by the Intestacy Rules which apply 

an order of who receives assets when no Will is 

in existence. A very common scenario is where 

co-habitees have adult children from previous 

relationships. If one of them dies and the assets 

are just in the sole name then all their assets will 

pass to their children not their partner. This could 

cause a very real and immediate problem to 

the surviving partner of losing their home and 

money. A Will could have changed all this and 

provisions could have been made both for the 

partner and the adult children. 

It is therefore very important that when you do 

make a Will, consider the different needs of the 

various people within your family and how you 

can be as fair as possible when there can be 

competing interests. It is also the time to think 

about whether any of your benefi ciaries need 

protection under a Will in which case a straight 

forward Trust could be involved to protect them 

from their own vulnerabilities. It is also important 

to appoint executors who will look after your 

wishes; you are the person who knows your 

family better than anyone else and therefore it 

should be you who is choosing who will administer 

and look after your estate so as to ensure 

that family disagreements are kept to a minimum. 

If you feel that no one in the family is the right 

person for the job then you need to consider appointing 

a professional, either a family solicitor 

or an accountant who has dealt with the family 

over the years who will have some insight and 

family knowledge but who will also be fi rm but 

fair handed should the occasion need it. This 

brings me on to delusion. It is quite apparent 

from dealing with the Administration of Estates 

and obtaining probate that potential benefi ciaries 

sometimes have higher expectations of what 

they will be left under a Will than the actual reality. 

All too frequently I am contacted by remoter 

family relatives enquiring as to what they might 

have been left under someone’s Will, quite often 

even when they have not seen that family member 

for 30 years plus. 

When I am asked what area of law I 

specialise in, I have spent years trying to 

have a clever answer encompassing within 

one line precisely what I do. 

It is therefore helpful when you are dealing with 

a Will or making changes to a Will, to have 

letters addressed to both the executors and to 

the benefi ciaries. This can explain why someone 

is not included in a Will, the history of the family 

and if the Deceased has cut out an individual 

who was fi nancially dependent on them and 

the reasons why. The latter is most important as 

there are groups of benefi ciaries who can make 

a claim against someone’s estate if they feel that 

they have not been adequately provided for. If 

you are considering this then seeking advice is 

essential and a letter even more so, so that the 

administration of the estate can be as smooth as 

possible. 

One of the most satisfying parts of my job is 

acting as a Deputy or an Attorney for those who 

are cruelly affected by dementia and either do 

not have any family or whose family members 

are frail and elderly themselves to help them with 

their fi nancial matters. When I have been appointed 

as Attorney whilst they still have mental 

capacity then I will have known them and asked 

them details of how and where they would wish 

to live in the future, what sort of assistance they 

would like to be given should they lose mental 

capacity and how they would like their fi nances 

to be handled. It is very sad if this day does arrive, 

but to be able to assist a client when they do 

not have anyone else to stand in their shoes and 

look after their fi nancial and health matters gives 

me a great sense of pride. Similarly if I am appointed 

as a Deputy by the Court of Protection, 

where there is no other family members available, 

it is again a very rewarding position to be 

that person’s champion. This can involve sorting 

75 

out the correct residential care for them, continuing 

to check they are being looked after in the 

home, liaising with social/healthcare workers 

and others to make sure that they receive all 

the assistance and extra help they may require. 

It also means being fi nancially responsible for 

their money and making sure and taking advice 

to ensure that their money will last as long as 

possible to keep them in their chosen home. It 

also means visiting them, talking with them and 

making sure that they have the clothes that they 

like and need and any other items which may 

provide the day to day stimulation to make their 

end of days care as comfortable as possible. 

Sadly part of my daily legal life in dealing with 

people’s affairs brings me into contact with 

various people who have seen fi t to take fi nancial 

advantage of either their own family members 

or others. All too often I encounter people 

who feel that it is acceptable to use Mum or 

Dad’s credit card or debit card as they know the 

pin number to not only look after their parent’s 

fi nances but also to benefi t themselves. In these 

circumstances I have to draw on my own diplomatic 

skills to point out that the position of being 

an attorney is one of trust and the overwhelming 

point is to ensure that the person who has given 

the power of attorney to someone is looked after, 

not the actual Attorney. In some cases when 

the parent dies adjustments do have to be made 

to the amount such a child receives under a Will. 

This is where it is vital to seek advice before entering 

into a Lasting Power of Attorney to make 

sure that you have chosen the right person from 

your family to be an Attorney and also that before 

the Attorney takes on the appointment that 

they understand the limitation on how they can 

deal with that person’s money. 

So in conclusion as solicitors, we do not only 

assist with the making of legal documents such 

as Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney, we also 

take a practical approach of encouraging the 

writing of letters to family and Executors so as 

to explain the reasons for decisions taken. These 

letters are your way of speaking when you no 

longer have a voice, either through lost mental 

capacity or on your passing. 

This way we can deal with 

death or dementia and 

hopefully side step any 

problems with delusion 

or deceit.

TO BUY 

or not to buy 

Not long ago (but technically 

last year!) we spoke about 

reasons that make it a good 

time to throw something out. 

BY RUBY REED 

Well what about 

having some go 

to questions that 

make it easier to 

know whether we 

should be buying 

something or not? 

Having some new guidelines for 

the New Year may not be the 

worst thing- especially if you 

tend to find yourself spending 

money on things you don’t really 

need- and too often! 

For example, I am on my 

lunch break, holding up a very 

tempting new top. My first 

thoughts are; it’s pretty, I like it, I start to imagine the sort 

of occasion that I could potentially wear it to. Already I 

have started to sell myself the item. I start walking to the 

till. Perfect, great find Rubes, well done. 

Well before we start this brisk walk to the check out, why 

don’t we ask ourselves a few questions… just quickly? 

1) Is there actually an occasion on the horizon I will wear 

this to? 

If the answers no, you may want to consider how long it 

is going to be hung up ‘waiting’ for this specific occasion. 

Will it be months? If you can think of 3 times you will wear 

it the purchase is probably safe. In summary are you going 

to get enough use out of this item, or is it just going to take 

up your wardrobe space? 

2) What other things in my wardrobe will it go with and 

do I have anything else like it? 

Make sure you can picture the item with your other 

clothes- if not it’s going to be sat waiting to be matched 

with something, and who knows how long that will be.

Also if you have something 

particularly similar, do you 

really need this too? Unless 

you are replacing it! 

3) Can I afford it right now? 

Be sensible. If there’s 

something else that needs 

more financial attention at 

the moment, take a step back. 

You might thank yourself 

later. Another trap is to find a 

bargain and think you couldn’t 

possibly leave this item. But 

try to think if you’re buying 

it for the sake of it. Would 

you even be thinking about

considerably more?

knows, maybe that pay check will go a little 

further this month… 

Good Luck with your next temptation!

Back 

to the basics 

Let’s start at the very beginning, it’s a 

very good place to start... as the New 

Year is here so many of us create new 

beginnings... 

I am going to talk you through the different types 

of bases there are in make-up. 

BB CREAMS 

BB stands for Beauty Balm, it is a light tinted 

moisturiser that suits every skin type. It does not 

have coverage, but smoothes things out, great for 

summer! 

CC CREAMS 

CC stands for Colour Control, they were designed 

for sallow or red in the skin. It smoothes and evens 

out the skin tone. This is not recommended for 

oily or problem skin. 

DD CREAMS 

DD stands for Daily Defence. They are very good 

at protecting your skin from the rays of the sun, 

but I would not advice using them all the time as 

they can block the pores. 

EE CREAMS 

EE stands for Extra Exfoliation. These are 

designed to get rid of the dead skin cells, leaving 

the skin smooth and clear. They should only be 

used once or twice a week and make sure you 

research good ones, as some are too scratchy 

and can leave minute scratches on the surface of 

the skin. 

Of course you have your serums, moisturisers 

and foundations as normal, which I will touch on 

another time.

SPRING/SUMMER 17 

Charlie Long shares an insight on this spring/summers 

make-up trends... 

The spring/summer 2017 makeup 

trends have arrived and for all 

you make-up phobes you will be 

pleased to hear that the upcoming 

season is all about minimal, 

effortless make-up. 

This season is for the lazy girls but also the 

brave, it is about those that are spontaneous 

with make-up and like to go crazy with colour. 

Spring/summer is all about being fearless and 

not afraid to step out of your comfort zone 

and try something new. 

So, now that Christmas is done and dusted 

for another year, it is time to refresh your 

make-up collection by adding some colour. 

The new limited edition Urban Decay Full 

Spectrum Eye shadow Palette is a must have 

in everyone’s make-up collection for 2017. 

The limited edition set includes 21 eye 

shadows in a variety of rainbow-inspired hues; 

this is the most that Urban Decay has ever 

included in a palette. 

The shades are elegantly arranged in trios by 

colour family. 

90

HAIR & BEAUTY 

DECEMBER JANAURY 2017 JANUARY 2016 | | ISSUE 2017 #51 | #50 ISSUE | | HAIR #51&& BEAUTY 

This makes the palette aesthetically pleasing 

on the eye and allows for tonnes of creativity. 

The palette includes super-smooth mattes to 

shimmer-laced shades; each shade features 

Urban Decay’s Pigment Infusion System. 

The pigment infusion system is what gives 

each shade it’s velvety, rich colour, blendable, 

staying power properties. 

The Full Spectrum palette also features a 

mirror and comes complete with a doubleended 

brush. This tapered brush is perfect 

for placing eye shadow on the eyelid and also 

defining the crease or blending out colour. 

This beautifully sleek palette will only set you 

back a mere £43, which I think its exceptional 

value for money and can either be purchased 

direct from Urban Decay (www.urbandecay. 

co.uk) or House of Fraser.

New Year, New Glow with SK Clinic + Spa... 

A few home remedies and a visit to 

SK Clinic + Spa after the indulgent 

festive season to restore your skin’s 

natural glow. 

DETOX 

You will hear the word detox a lot in January 

but the best way to determine if you need to 

detox is by assessing your complexion. If your 

body is not given the tools or time to cleanse 

itself properly, an excessive build-up of toxins 

can occur; the skin is one of the first places a 

poor diet and lifestyle will be reflected. 

INSIDE OUT 

A simple change to make is to up your water 

intake to flush out those toxins. During meals 

cut down on sugars, carbohydrates, red 

meat, alcohol, caffeine and processed foods. 

Fruit and vegetables are enriched with antioxidants 

to help protect your skin from free 

radical damage. 

SWEAT IT OUT 

Using a sauna or exercising up to three times 

a week is excellent at eliminating toxins from 

the body, plus the heat generated helps to 

calm and fight stress. The pores will also 

open, boosting circulation and helping 

the skin to flourish. 

VISIT SK CLINIC + SPA 

To really make your skin glow with a 

chance to relax for the New Year, take 

advantage of SK’s offer throughout all 

of January with the combination of a 

Body Polish Treatment and 30-minute 

massage. 

The Body Polish Treatment will leave your 

skin looking its absolute best and of peak 

radiance, and a massage is the perfect 

addition to induce health and wellbeing, 

heal injury, relieve stress, and 

improve circulation. 

Enjoy this combined treatment for only 

£50 throughout January.

STRAIGHT 

FROM THE 

CATWALK 

SPONSORED BY CABELLO, HALESWORTH 

With the Spring/Summer 2017 

runway shows drawing to a close, 

we saw a whole host of new hair and 

beauty looks to get excited about. 

Textured hair, bold eye shadows and brushed up 

brows are just some of the trends designers from 

across the globe have been showcasing for next 

season. 

Here are some of the top trends that can be taken 

straight off the catwalk and into your hair and beauty 

regime. 

FELINE FLICKS... 

Dramatic, winged eyeliner was popular on the 

catwalks, especially in the Milan shows. Perfecting 

a wing can be easily achieved with good, longlasting 

liquid eyeliner. To make your wings even 

more accurate, simply place clear adhesive tapes 

underneath your bottom lashes and angle them 

towards your temples. Draw on your eyeliner using 

the tape as a guide. Remove the tape after applying

and say hello to flicks that finally match. 

PLAITS... 

The most prominent hairstyle shown this runway 

season was undoubtedly plaits. From Paris to New 

York – numerous runway shows were showcasing 

plaited locks with both casual and evening looks. 

For a carefree, dressed-down style, tie mini plaits in 

sections of your hair and accessorise them with beads 

or hair rings. For a more glamorous look, French plait 

both sides of your head down to the nape of your 

neck. Attach both plaits together once there and 

braid down to the end of your hair so it finishes as 

one. Complete with a jewelled hair tie or a ribbon. 

TEXTURED CURLS... 

Curls, perms, crimps and waves were everywhere on 

the SS’17 runways. Achieve the curls you desire by 

using different electronic hair products. For small, 

tight curls, a thin curling wand is best. For soft, larger 

waves, a barrel waver or heated ceramic rollers will 

work better. 

Glitter Lips from www.lovelemonade.com 

RIBBONS... 

Accessorize your way into next season by ditching 

normal hair ties and opting for pretty ribbons instead. 

Tie around the head and fasten to create a cute Aliceband, 

or belt around the base of a slick, low ponytail 

for effortless on-the-go style. 

GLITTER LIPS... 

One look that got everybody talking this fashion 

week was the glitter lips that were featured on the 

Milan catwalks. These look amazing at parties and 

will be sure to get you tons of compliments. Achieve 

this look easily at home by applying a bold, glossy lip 

colour onto the lips (you can use your favourite tinted 

gloss or a high-shine lipstick). Then, when the lips are 

still wet, dab a face glitter (in a similar shade to the 

lipstick) onto the lips using a cotton bud.

STAG INTERIORS 

Let the 

light in 

The New Year’s resolution, the 

little tradition of a promise to 

yourself to make a little change 

in some way to make things 

easier. 

The promise might be to take more holiday, or 

spend a little more time on yourself, or even to 

break the new years resolution... But how about 

sticking to one that not only benefits you, but 

also benefits your friends and family every day? 

How about letting the light back into your home. 

We don’t mean more fairy lights, as you will no 

doubt have seen enough over Christmas. No, 

we mean, lightening and opening everything up, 

fresh and ready for the New Year. 

Of course, once the New Year hits, so does reality, 

and from celebrations, parties and feasting, 

comes work, school runs, and daily life. 

Wouldn’t it be nice to come back from a long 

day to a home that is uncluttered, free from 

indian piles and space to start the evening in? Or 

even to come down to in the morning? Remind 

yourself that your home is a sacred place, but 

also that it is a haven away from the world. We 

are not saying get rid of absolutely everything 

and paint it all white. We are saying store, hang, 

bundle and fold. Add a few touches of new to the 

edge of a sofa, the middle of the table, or by the 

back door. 

Just Ideas... 

Hang it up. There will always be wall space 

for a few more hangers for coats, scarves and 

blankets. It frees up the piles over the back of 

chairs! 

Having big wicker baskets dotted around the 

house for any use - logs, books, clothes or how 

about for shoes by the back door? 

Mirrors. The epitome of creating light. How 

about hanging a few round the house? 

Lighten up the decor. Swap darker cushion 

covers or throws for a lighter. 

Let the light in and ready for a brand new year. 

Get a new lamp to light up that dark corner.

Wicker storage by the back door for 

hats, scarves and shoes. Hanging

THE START OF THE YEAR 

BY KATE LINES 

Kates Top Tip : Now’s a great time to prune 

currants and gooseberries - especially new 

bushes or cordons. 

In January, your garden could need 

protecting from frosts, gale-force 

winds and heavy rain. 

General 

Check stakes, ties, fleeces and other supports for 

damage and consider moving plants to sunnier 

positions to maximize light. 

Don’t forget to keep feeding the birds, food is scarce 

for them over winter. You can also start planning next 

year’s vegetable plot. 

Fruit 

• Plant bare-root trees and bushes, as long as the soil 

isn’t frozen. 

Vegetables 

• Sow broad beans in pots in mild areas, placing 

them in a cold frame or unheated greenhouse. 

• Sow seed indoors for early crops eg: lettuces, 

summer brassicas (e.g. cabbages and cauliflowers), 

spinach, salad onions and turnips. 

• Sow onion seed in a heated propagator.

owner Marcus Evans. He has allowed the club to 

stagnate and left McCarthy to do an admirable 

job with one hand tied behind his back, while not 

appearing to have the football nous to do anything 

about it. 

JUST CALLING FOR MICK 

MCCARTHY’S HEAD IS TOO SHORT- 

SIGHTED…THE TOWN BOSS IS ONLY 

PART OF THE PROBLEM... 

As I write this, after watching 

another instantly forgettable 

match, I fear Ipswich Town are at 

a crossroads. 

In truth, the 1-1 home draw 

with Cardiff City might live a 

little longer in the memory 

– but only for Bluebirds 

defender Sol Bamba 

completely losing the plot 

and some memorable halftime 

fare which saw ITFC 

cheerleaders dance to a 

brass band. 

If that piece of 

‘entertainment’ made no sense, 

the same could be said for Mick McCarthy’s 

thinking in constantly leaving Jonny Williams 

on the bench and Jonas Knudsen on the pitch. 

The vultures have been circling above the 

home dugout for quite a while with most 

glad to see the back of 2016, even if many are 

staying away from Portman Road altogether. 

I have said in this column repeatedly that I 

want to be entertained and, for that reason 

alone, I don’t think Mick is my man. 

But, in a rare quirk in football, I am not 

convinced that a change in manager will bring 

about a change in fortune, whether quick-fix 

or longer term. 

The larger blame must rest at the door of 

Back McCarthy. Or sack McCarthy and free the purse 

strings (a little) for a new man. The choice is that 

simple. 

The fact Evans is appearing to do neither, while 

remaining forever reclusive, is unforgiveable. 

Even then, there are yet more problems than just the 

owner/manager combo – though you could argue 

they are the reason for the following concerns. 

The standard of football at Portman Road over 

the last 12 months has been consistently dire and 

nearly always forgettable. Ask me my favourite three 

matches in the last calendar year 

and I would struggle. 

In fact, it would probably be as a 

result of a decent opponent rather 

than because of the men in blue. 

And what do you get when the 

football is bad and a lot of people 

are blaming either the manager 

or the owner – or both? Poor 

attendances. 

These dismal matches are being 

played out to a half-full Portman 

Road and I don’t blame anyone who stays away. 

I write this just 13 days before Christmas – and I 

apologise for its ‘Bah Humbug’ nature, especially as 

you are reading this at the start of a new year. 

I am just very fearful of these crossroads and the 

direction my football club is taking.

GET SOME ACTION 

BY ROSS “ACTION MAN” WISHART 

Happy New Year! Welcome 

one and all to 2017! It’s 

going to be a great one, 

and here’s why... 

It’s hard to believe that it has been a year 

now since I was carted off a football pitch by 

ambulance. 

Whilst I knew my leg was broken, I was 

stunned when the consultant told me that 

that my knee’s posterior cruciate ligament 

was completely ruptured, it couldn’t be 

repaired surgically due to its proximity to the 

artery and they don’t heal, the ligament was 

history. 

To say I was devastated is an understatement, 

regular Bounce readers will know that I’m 

quite an active fellow, (the clue is in the 

nickname!) not just for my articles, which 

I’ve been writing for almost four years now 

and very much enjoy, but also other regular 

sporting exploits not to mention running after 

two small children. 

A part of me at that time thought it was all 

over, Action Man was dead, part of me had 

gone for good, could I function without it? 

Well at first, not really, it took two months 

114



SPORT 

before I could walk unaided and another 

six weeks before I could lose the full leg 

brace. Six months were spent in and out of 

physiotherapy and it was over nine months 

before I was able to grace a football pitch 

again. 

The prolonged period of traction has left its 

mark, I am most certainly heavier with a much 

lower level of fitness than this time last year, 

but the important this is that I know it, I’m 

back and I’m making 2017 my year, the year to 

#getsomeaction 

That brings me on to my motivation to write 

these articles. I’ve often quipped at my 

own shortcomings (pun intended) at 5’ 5.5” 

(the half is very important). I’m certainly no 

professional athlete. Ross Wishart is married 

with two children and a busy full time job, 

underneath the intimidating Action Man 

persona is just a fairly Average Joe. 

All of these clubs, events and activities 

featured in Bounce are available to all and if I 

can do it that means YOU CAN DO IT! 

I absolutely love to hear stories about readers 

trying new sports, joining new clubs and 

tapping into the Action Man that lives in all 

of us! If you have any questions then please 

feel free to get in touch, I’m always on hand to 

offer any guidance. 

AM says: So go... do... make 2017 your 

year to #getsomeaction

GET FIT... 

At Liberte Fitness 

stick with it along with the additional support 

from your peers. 

Instead of heading back indoors we 

recommend heading for the park! 

As we hit the midway point through the 

winter and the cold winter mornings and 

long dark evenings seem never ending 

how do you stay motivated to workout? 

Last summer is a distant memory and the next 

seems far in the future and staying motivated 

is harder than achieving a clear round at total 

wipeout! 

We spend a majority of our time inside 

especially in winter so use your fitness routine 

as a chance to get back to nature, disconnect 

from technology and make the most of some 

pure clean air. 

Make sure whatever you do it’s fun - fitness 

should always be fun, challenging, but 

definitely fun! To book your free trial session 

head to www.libertefitness.com. 

At LF we have a couple of suggestions that 

may help you with the continuous battle you 

probably have with your brain. 

Exercise with others be it friends or a group 

of like minded people - arranging to meet 

up keeps us accountable and exercising with 

others in our experience makes for a lot more 

fun! When you have fun you are more likely to

THEATRE 

ROYAL 

Early January sees the final 2 

weeks of our pantomime Beauty 

and the Beast, the show opened 

in early December and received 

some fantastic reviews and 

achieved 4 stars from The Stage. 

It was also well attended with over 1000 

audience members coming along during its 

opening weekend alone. To date 19,000 tickets 

have been sold during the run, if you haven’t 

been able to join in the fun and mayhem yet 

then never fear, Beauty and the Beast continues 

until Sunday 15 January. 

Once panto closes we have some wonderful 

winter warmers to keep you entertained 

during the cold month of January. On 

Saturday 21 January we welcome the hilarious 

Showstoppers. If you haven’t seen them 

before they are a touring troupe who create an 

improvised musical based on suggestions given 

to them from the audience on the evening. The 

company boast an array of awards and no two 

shows are ever the same. It could be Rocky 

Horror meets Miss Saigon or Cats crossed with 

Chicago, with the Showstoppers you never 

quite know what you are going to get, the only 

guarantee is plenty of laughs! 

Following on from that we host the latest in 

our Lunchtime Concert series on Monday 23 

January, we welcome Saxology. They are a 

Saxophone Quartet who perform a programme 

of Baroque and Classical arrangements, French 

Neo Romantic, English Pastoral, American 

Jazz and a premiere too, led by composer and 

arranger, Jeffery Wilson. Each concert is followed 

by complimentary cakes, coffee and tea in the 

Greene Room and is sponsored by Gross and Co 

Solicitors. 

January is completed by the visit of Bury 

Theatre Workshop with their stage adaptation of 

Tolstoy’s classic novel Anna Karenina. The local 

community group perform between Tuesday 

24 and Saturday 28 January. The show explores 

the themes of personal responsibly, fate and 

powerlessness. 

Looking into February Theatre Royal Bury 

St Edmunds presents Northanger Abbey, 

adapted by the acclaimed Austen specialist Tim 

Luscombe, this show opens in Bury St Edmunds 

and then embarks on National Tour. You can 

see the performance between Thursday 2 and 

Saturday 11 February. 

2016 is now behind us and it was a fantastic year 

at Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds with many 

brilliant shows. Our line-up for January and early 

February sets the bar pretty high for the rest 

of the year, I wonder what the rest of 2017 may 

have in store for the theatre? I have no doubt that 

there will be plenty more fantastic shows and 

many enjoyable evenings. It would be lovely if 

you could join us.

JANUARY 2017 | JULY ISSUE JULY 2014 #51 2014 | | ISSUE | MUSIC ISSUE #21 & #21 ENTERTAINMENT 

BY JACK STEVENS 

MUSIC 

“This is the set-up for the song, 

mate. It’s an introduction. Don’t 

interrupt”. 

...as Falco attempted to paraphrase 

the introduction to ‘Robocop 4...’, one 

audience member heckled. He retaliated. 

A somewhat disconcerting Andrew 

Falkous still exudes charm when picking 

on the audience in jest, and his attitude 

perfectly mirrors the feeling of his music. 

Future of the Left’s sound has always been 

a brutal and unsettling listen, but it has 

it’s dark, humorous subtext from time to 

time. Lyrically dense, with a sound that 

bruises and flicks between time signatures 

and aggressive pauses, it’s an anxious and 

exhilarating listen in equal measure. 

The blisteringly loud ‘Arming Eritrea’ opens 

their set, which follows on from a blinding 

performance from USA Nails, London’s 

answer to Drive Like Jehu. Sometimes, 

planets align and gods are appeased when 

lineups match bands as perfectly as this. 

New tracks like ‘If AT&T Drank Tea What 

Would BP Do’ injure and offend like the 

Jesus Lizard or Shellac. The band’s savage 

noise is propelled by Julia Ruzicka’s 

woolen fuzz-tone of deafening bass. It 

cuts neatly into the drum sound. Jack 

Egglestone’s playing is boisterous, 

turbulent; it pilots the band’s noise, 

hammering in until it stabs you with an 

almighty sonic force. The power of this 

rhythm section is nothing but fearful. 

Elsewhere in the set, ‘The Limits Of 

Battleships’ cracks and booms abruptly 

throughout, with pauses so blunt that they 

feel like cavities being unshelled bare at 

brute force. 

That humorous subtext is most evident on 

tracks like ‘Singing Of The Bonesaws’ and 

‘How To Spot A Record Company’, which 

are scattered amongst the set. Perhaps 

this is the quality that sets Future of the 

Left apart from others in the alternative 

rock scene... their extended metaphors, 

their scornful and ironic references towards 

popular culture... it all builds towards 

the identity of the band. Something that 

excels them even further than Falkous’ 

previous endeavour, Mclusky, is this deeper 

and complex meaning that outrides any 

previous output from the Welsh equivalent 

of John Reis. 

It’s hard to pinpoint what sets this band 

apart from others, but seeing Future of 

the Left in concert reminds you that the 

alternative scene is more than just alive; 

it’s flourishing, it’s literate, and incredibly 

pissed off. 

See you next month - Jack

Archie’s 

Adventures 

NEW YEAR, NEW START... 

Happy New Year to all my fans out 

there… hope you had a bloomin’ 

amazing Christmas... I did! 

So I bet your dying to know all about mine? 

Well, it involved loads of Turkey scraps, squeeky 

toys (that I took great satisfaction letting off when 

everyone was in mid-conversation), presents (which 

I unwrapped all by myself), afternoon naps by the 

fire and snuggles with my kittens - check out our 

Christmas family portrait below – I know pretty cute 

right? I am the gorgeous fella in the middle by 

the way! 

Anyway, enough about them, and more about me, 

this year I had my very own Santa costume. I reckon 

I looked the part, and on New Year’s Eve we had our 

own murder mystery party, they let me join in, (but I 

suspect I was the main entertainment in the end). 

My resolutions this year are to sneak more treats, 

take more walks on the beach and to stop peeing 

on the kitchen floor for attention when I am left for 

longer than an hour on my own. My bad! 

Here’s to 2017, keep up to date with my antics on 

Twitter @bouncearchie. 

Last year, if you remember, the kittens were new 

around this gaff, and I thought they were the 

Gremlins that invaded Christmas,. Turns out they are 

alright really and in a year they’ve grown up to be 

my little mates... Even though Harley is bigger than 

me now and Mia always tries to steal my spot on 

the sofa. 

They even left the tree decorations alone this year, 

which was a relief as usually its my job to square 

them up! Uff!
