• 2 onions, very finely chopped 

• 2 tsp yellow mustard seed 

• 3 tbsp Madras curry paste

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. 

Oh it’s all hearts and 

roses this month! 

Just as we are getting 

over Christmas and its 

excesses, we are once 

again thinking about 

gifts for the object of our 

affections. Or ‘BAE’ as 

the younger generation 

say! And yes I do realise I 

sounded very old then! 

So I thought I’d give you 

ladies and gents a gentle push in 

the right direction for this years St 

Valentine’s Day. In our house we 

do cards and a meal out. Our new 

favourite place is The Northgate Hotel 

in Bury St Edmunds. If you haven’t 

been, then go! 

Flowers are a safe bet and 

THE SECRET GARDEN 

delivers hand tied bouquets 

in and around Suffolk - so 

find them on instagram. 

In every American film I 

watched growing up, men 

always turned up with a 

big red velvet heart box 

of Butlers Chocolates. So 

imagine my glee when I realise Waitrose 

sell these exact chocolates. They are so 

good! 

The Cambridge 

Satchel Company has 

a beautiful range of 

bags that you can 

have embossed with

FEBRUARY FEBRUARY 2017 | 2017 ISSUE | ISSUE #52 | #52 FASHION 

a message or your loved ones initials. 

They do a very smart men’s range too. 

I’ve also found some real treats if you 

are want to impress the lady in your life. 

This amazing Laboutin Lipstick in Red is 

a real showstopper. 

Tommy Hilfiger is going retro with 

their heart Tattoo sweatshirt and these 

Vivien Westwood red heart rubber 

shoes are very kitsch. 

Single? Well fear not, I’ve found some 

brilliant Anti-Valentines gifts like this 

‘Fries Before Guys’ T shirt and these 

brilliant biscuits. 

I’ll end by saying the most important 

LOVE is Self Love, be good to 

yourself and the rest will follow. 

Oh and by the way you look 

beautiful today! Yes You!

Real Brides Special 

BY CATHERINE STARLING-GUNFIELD 

Georgina & Miles 

August 2016 

Hungarian Hall 

Real bride Georgina chose Angelic Weddings & Events to 

create her Invitations and some of her venue stationery for 

her big day back in August. 

A theme of stunning baby pink, butterflies, pearls and 

gold glitter was just beautiful against the back drop of the 

contemporary marquee at Hungarian Hall. 

Georgina chose pretty die cut pink butterflies for her 

bespoke deluxe Invitations, RSVP cards and info sections 

through to the table plan, place settings, sweetie tags, signs, 

confetti cones and favour tags. 

Angelic weddings hired Georgina their stunning gold bird 

cage for her CARDS and decorated it with matching pink and 

gold butterflies. 

Q: WHY DID YOU CHOSE YOUR VENUE? 

A: “I had always dreamed of having a marquee reception and 

as soon as we looked I instantly fell in love. It had everything 

16

WEDDING 


FEBRUARY 2017 | ISSUE #52 | WEDDING 

we needed; a large sized suite to hold our ceremony in, the beautiful 

marquee and amazing grounds”. 

Q: WHAT WAS YOUR FAVOURITE ITEM FROM ANGELIC 

WEDDINGS & EVENTS? 

A: “The service we received from Catherine was spot on, from the 

day we first meet I knew she was the lady who was going to create 

the most fantastic pieces for us. I think my favourite items were our 

invitations as soon as the proof pictures were sent I was filled with 

excitement - they were beyond perfect”. 

Q: WHAT TIPS WOULD YOU GIVE OTHER BRIDES? 

A: “I would recommend brides to spend their budget on what they 

feel is most important to them, after all you don’t want to reflect 

back on your day wishing you had done anything different”. 

Stationery ~ Angelic Weddings & Events 

Photography ~ eps photography 

Dress ~ Ronald Joyce ‘Robyn’ in champagne from The Wedding Shop 

in Colchester. 

Cake ~ Vanilla Cake Design 

Surprises - Miles surprised Georgina with a mini-moon to Disneyland 

Paris and her Mum & Dad surprised her with a beautiful cream Rolls 

Royce convertible to take her to the venue. 

We wish Georgina & Miles a life time of happiness together.

FEBRUARY FEBRUARY 2017 | ISSUE 2017 #52 | ISSUE | VALENTINE’S #52 DAY 

SAVE THE DATE 

Valentine’s Day approaches. Whatever your thoughts 

on the tradition, chances are you and your partner will 

BY NYE LONGMAN 

probably be observing it together in some form - 

perhaps one with more enthusiasm than the other!... 

So in order to avoid a fashion massacre 

(gents – I’m looking at you) let’s take a 

look at what to wear to make your hot date 

memorable for all the right reasons. 

This time of year is rife with clichés (I mean, 

red roses and chocolates – again?!) 

But instead of ditching it altogether, you can 

use this year to play around with conventions. 

The date: fancy meal 

Whether you’ve been together five years, or 

met your date on a bus last week, dining at 

a nice restaurant can be a nightmare when it 

comes to deciding what to wear. 

While outfit choices are somewhat limited, 

this is the chance to show your partner (and 

yourself) that you really know how to dress up 

and keep abreast of the latest looks. 

22

FEBRUARY 2017 FEBRUARY | ISSUE 2017 #52 | ISSUE | VALENTINE’S #52 DAY 

FASHION 

The date: drinks 

Going for drinks is a great way to let your hair 

down with your date and generally calls for 

less buttoned-down attire. 

But this shouldn’t be an excuse to wear just 

anything. Grooming and understated gestures, 

such as a clean pair of smart boots or town 

shoes firmly indicate that, though the date 

may be casual, you’re certainly taking it 

seriously. 

Do you know what your partner will be 

wearing? You could sneak a complimentary 

note into your outfit to match. But don’t go 

overboard. 

The date: out and about 

If you have an activity planned then 

practicality is key. 

Let’s face it lads, you’re probably all going 

to wear some sort of suit. While there’s 

nothing wrong with this, the key here is to do 

different. This means not looking like you’re 

turning up for a job interview - and the devil 

is in the detail. Showing that you are willing 

to mix things up a bit will score big 

points. 

It can be as simple as undoing your top two 

shirt buttons to flout the fact that you aren’t 

wearing a tie – or you could wear a vibrant 

handkerchief in your breast pocket to draw 

attention to your new tweed blazer. 

Simple little things like this can show, subtly, 

that you’ve not only taken some serious time 

over your appearance but have also dared to 

deviate from the beaten track. 

Think smart but warm at this time of year. 

A well-cut coat and layers that can work as 

standalones are a must. 

If you’re on a scenic walk or at a museum, 

then a leather shoulder bag or satchel may 

well be in order. Remember that the bag 

(unless you are literally going hiking) shouldn’t 

get in the way of anything. 

You can also use the predictably poor weather 

to your advantage. Grab a pair of warm gloves 

and a hat to complement your outfit. If the 

wind picks up, you can always share body 

heat. 

And there you have it! Whatever the 

occasion, Bounce Magazine has you 

covered – literally!

Cut all the ties... 

As the January sales draw to 

an end and sudden flourishes 

of pink hearts and red roses fill 

the shops, it can only mean one 

thing, Valentine’s Day is just 

around the corner. 

It’s that time of year again where we 

are encouraged to express our affection 

with various (commercialised) gifts and 

romantic gestures, why? 

a sucker for cards! 

But while on February 14 th , love may be in 

the air, is it really something that we need 

to share? 

As a nation we seem to be living our lives 

through social media with the ability to 

share exactly what we are doing as we are 

doing it, at our fingertips. 

I, too, am guilty of this, but it seems that 

so little now is kept private. 

Because that’s what everyone else is 

doing right?! 

Now I am not a cynic, I love a good romcom 

as much as the next person and I am 

We no longer enjoy our lives ‘in the 

moment’, but rather through our phone 

screens so that others know we are there. 

You only need to look at the TV coverage 

26


BY KAT BRANSBY 

This Valentine’s... 

on New Years Eve to see that nearly every 

person was watching the fireworks display 

through their camera phones to share 

their ‘experience’! 

It seems that we don’t just share a card 

with our loved ones anymore, in fact, we 

no longer share our lives with that one 

person. 

I guarantee that come Valentine’s Day 

this year, my news feed will be filled with 

images of gifts that people have received, 

‘check ins’ of people at various romantic 

places and couples ‘selfies’. 

I will make a point this year of avoiding 

social media and sharing the day with 

the person who I genuinely want to share 

my life with. And for those singletons 

amongst us whose most dreaded day 

of the calendar year is Valentine’s Day, I 

urge you to get off Facebook, Twitter or 

Instagram and to forget the facade that 

they create. 

We spend so much time comparing 

everyone’s seemingly wonderful, not to 

mention online, lives, with our own. 

Let us indulge in our own lives for a day 

and forget what everyone around us is 

doing. 

Embrace the true meaning of St 

Valentine’s and celebrate love, regardless 

of your relationship status, pander to a 

little self-love.

FEBRUARY FEBRUARY 2017 | 2017 ISSUE | ISSUE #52 | #52 SHAKIN’ STEVENS 

The announcement coincides 

with the release of his critically 

acclaimed 12th studio album 

Echoes Of Our Times, a surprising 

record on which blues, roots, 

Americana and classic rock take 

centre stage as Shaky explores his 

mysterious and intriguing family 

history. 

With 33 hit singles and four UK No. 

1s to his name, the Platinum-selling 

entertainer and performer will be 

exciting his audiences as he performs 

new tracks from Echoes Of Our Times, 

along with classic hits, and a few 

surprises. Rachel Ducker caught up with 

Shaky to speak about the tour and new 

album. 

R: For those who don’t know, how did the 

name ‘Shakin’ Stevens’ come about? 

I was born Michael Barratt, but after a while 

I thought that was not exciting as a stage 

name, so I started using the name Shakin’ 

Stevens. How that came about was that I had 

a friend named Steven when I was younger 

and we used to play in the street, you know 

ball games, stuff like that, and one day he 

held up a bit of wood and pretended to play 

the guitar and suddenly said “ladies and 

gentleman Shakin’ Stevens” and I thought 

that’s a wacky name, you can’t forget that, so 

I later on in life used it. He didn’t mind as he 

didn’t go into the music business himself, so 

that’s the story. 

R: When did you get into music and how? 

I’m from a family of 13 children… we could 

all sing in the family so if it was a wedding 

or something, we’d all get up and have a 

singsong. I don’t know what you put that 

down to, whether it’s a celt thing I don’t 

know? Growing up as a boy I joined bands 

and wasn’t interested in anything else, I just 

wanted to sing. It took a long time for me to 

get my first hit record, a very, very long time. 

R: During your time in one of your first bands 

‘Shakin’ Stevens and the Sunsets’ you were 

given a slot to support the Rolling Stones – 

what was that like? 

To support the Rolling Stones was absolutely 

fantastic; we were over the moon. Our agent 

at the time put an advert in Melody Maker, 

I think it featured John Lennons white suit 

that he wore, and it said if you’re willing to 

wear that suit at a Shakin’ Stevens gig we 

welcome you with open arms. It got attention 

from those in the music business and I guess 

with the Stones too, they must have thought 

crikey, these guys are a bit forward. So we 

were down in Cardiff University and they sent 

someone along to check us out, and they liked 

what they saw and heard, and the next thing 

we were supporting the Rolling Stones. 

R: You must have been overwhelmed? 

Yeah, you had to pinch yourself when it was 

happening. When we arrived at the venue the 

Stones were playing tracks that we were fully 

aware of, they were very nice to us. Later on 

I’ve actually played again with Bill Wyman and 

he reminded me about the time we supported 

them. 

R: So you were actually the youngest of 13 

siblings, is that correct? 

That is correct. 

R: I just wondered being the youngest, 

and having such a large family, did you 

33 33

FEBRUARY 2017 FEBRUARY | ISSUE 2017 #52 | ISSUE | SHAKIN’ #52 STEVENS 

experience any competitiveness growing up 

and if so, did this spur you on in your music 

career? 

My eldest brother is 25 years my senior, so 

that gives you an idea of the age gaps. When 

I came along two of my brothers had already 

got married and left home, and two siblings 

had passed away when very young - which 

left 3 adults and 8 children living in a small 

three-bedroom, terraced house. My brother 

Les and I shared one bedroom with our 

parents, four girls shared another bedroom, 

and then there were two boys and a grown-up 

brother in the box room. It was literally Topto-Toe. 

I had a lot of support from this large 

family! 

trade, so when I was out of work and just 

singing in the evenings, he said “why don’t 

you try for a job where I am?” Initially, I just 

assisted, but what I liked about this job was 

that they had a radio there, and they had the 

music and new releases of the day. 

The firm folded up, I guess the foreman there 

must have taken a liking to me, as he said 

“we’re moving up to Bridge End would you 

like to come?” and I said “yes please.” So I 

went up there and started working on the 

bench and joined the production line. Again, 

that was the best job I had really apart from 

singing, they had this radio blasting away 

while you worked and I loved it and I used to 

do my singing in the evening. 

R: But you made it work! 

Yeah we made it work, I actually visited the 

house not so long ago, it was a bit of an eye 

opener really, it looked smaller than it was. 

R: You’ve had quite a few interesting jobs in 

your time, a milkman, and an upholsterer, did 

you ever think it would turn out the way it 

has for you? 

Well, as I said, all I wanted to do was sing, so 

I was determined to pursue that. I didn’t want 

to do anything else, but when I was growing 

up with my brothers and sisters, we were 

living in times where when you came of age, 

you had to get a job and pay some money 

over, and that’s how it was. 

As for jobs I wasn’t really interested in what I 

did really so I was a warehouse person for a 

while, I worked on buildings, I was a milkman 

for a time, I had loads of jobs really. Then I had 

a crack at upholstery and I really liked that, I 

liked that a lot. 

A friend of mine went into the upholsterer 

R: And did you sing along to the radio while 

you worked? 

I think we all did! 

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

a favourite that you enjoy listening to or 

performing? 

It is a hard question! Or, rather, it has been up 

until this year. I like all the tracks on the new 

album ‘Echoes Of Our Times’ and I’ve really 

enjoyed performing them during promotional 

appearances for the album and in preparation 

for the tour this year - so the answer is that 

I have 10 favourite tracks, and this is my 

favourite album - to date. Two answers in one! 

R: Touching upon the new album, it focuses 

on your family’s ancestry, so I wondered if 

you’d found out anything interesting? I hope 

you haven’t dug up too many skeletons? 

We have yeah, because I didn’t know I had 

ancestors down in Cornwall, and I didn’t 

know that my grandmother’s family were in 

the Salvation Army going back to the 18th

century.I then found out about my uncle 

who died in the First World War, and that my 

ancestors had worked in the copper and tin 

mines of Cornwall for hundreds of years, many 

of them going to live in the States, South 

Africa, Australia and Mexico. So yeah, some 

really interesting stories and with the album 

of course we thought why don’t we turn these 

stories into songs, and that’s what we did. 

People can then share the stories 

R: It must be so nice to perform something 

really personal and meaningful to you? 

the public. 

R: Locally, you’re playing by us at the Regent 

Theatre in Ipswich on 29th April, have you 

played here before or will this be your first 

time? 

No, I’ve played there a couple of times before 

actually. It’s a lovely theatre and they’ve had 

a lot of big stars there, I believe the Beatles 

played there as well – it has got a great history 

and a very nice atmosphere, the area is lovely 

as well so I am really looking forward to it. 

It is yeah, and people can relate to the stories 

as well, as I am sure a lot of people can, when 

it comes to the war and the mines. I am very 

pleased. If you leave it too late to explore 

your family background by speaking to the 

older members of your family, then it is much 

more difficult to find out the information. 

R: We all probably have something in our 

past that’s worth digging into, would you 

recommend people exploring their family 

history? 

R: After your tour what are your plans for the 

rest of the year? 

Well, I am still promoting the album so I 

will be doing radio and stuff like that really, 

and also we are looking to do some dates 

for a tour in Denmark as well, and possibly 

Germany. 

R: Lastly, what is like every Christmas to 

hear your songs still bringing so much joy to 

people? 

Yes I would, definitely. It’s nice to know where 

you came from; there are people out there not 

interested at all. I wasn’t looking for famous 

people or anything like that; I just wanted to 

know where I came from. In those days they 

didn’t used to talk about these things and it 

used to be hush, hush. 

R: Your UK tour starts in April what can fans 

look forward to? 

They can look forward to the tracks from the 

new album, there will also be some surprises 

thrown in, and some hits. The instruments 

that you hear on the album will be on stage, 

its quite a big band. There’s brass there and a 

banjo and stuff, I’m really looking forward to 

it, getting back out there and sharing it with 

It’s a good feeling really to have Christmas 

songs, I am very proud of the ‘Merry 

Christmas Everyone.’ It has touched a lot 

of people and I think it is amazing how that 

particular song is enjoyed worldwide, I think 

everybody knows it. 

R: Personally it is one of my favourite 

Christmas songs and I have listened to it 

every year for the last 30! 

That’s lovely Rachel and it’s been lovely 

talking to you today.

IT’S THE 

Little things 

Ah romance is in the air this 

month as Valentine’s day 

appears! 

BY RUBY REED 

Even us nonromantics 

are more 

likely to make that 

special effort right 

now. 

So, V-Day falls on a Tuesday 

this year, what to do? 

Schedule a romantic evening 

meal for after work, leave a 

present on the kitchen 

table? 

Something to show our 

appreciation for our 

significant other is necessary 

on this day. 

Even the smallest gestures (such as remembering a 

card!) create a loving mood. It does not take much 

to boost our partner’s day with little things, so why 

don’t we do this more regularly, and not just on 

Valentine’s? 

Maybe we should do something about this! 

Remember that time they brought you back 

your favourite pack of sweets for no reason? Or 

defrosted your car because you were running late 

that morning? 

How about getting in from work to be greeted 

with ‘I’ve booked a table for 8 o’clock!’. These are 

bound to get a smile. Little things can make a big 

difference to the daily routine. 

When we take a step back its easy to see that we 

could be taking our special person for granted. 

These are the ones we rely on constantly, for good 

38


company, support and 

venting to after a long 

day! After all they are our 

rocks, and what would we 

do without them? 

Well let’s start keeping 

things sweet, so 

they know just how 

appreciated they are 

really. 

It doesn’t have to be an 

expensive gift- leave a 

note to let them know 

you’re thinking about 

them! 

Record that programme 

you know they’d like to 

watch. 

Cook their favourite meal 

and put a candle on the table, or the old 

classic, tidy that room! 

Romance is for life, not just for 

Valentine’s, or Anniversaries and special 

occasions! 

Go and make someone feel extra special 

Ps. Don’t forget the card! 

Follow me on Twitter @rubyslifestyle. 

It seems it wouldn’t be hard to keep 

things a little bit rosier, so time to turn 

on your charm. 

39


What to do on 

Valentine’s 

Whatever you have planned 

for February 14 th this year, be 

sure to make it memorable. It 

doesn’t have to cost a fortune 

or be especially elaborate, but 

it special is essential.... 

1. Reenact your first date 

Think back to your first date – make a 

reservation at the same place, eat the same 

food and reminisce about how you felt about 

her when you first met. Do the same things 

that first sparked your romance. 

2. Get Physical 

No, not that kind of physical. The idea is to 

enjoy a little activity and get those endorphins 

flowing, which is proven to leave you both in 

loving moods. 

3. Go for a massage 

Either book in for a full-body massage at your 

favourite spa, or include yourself and book a 

couple’s massage. 

4. Make a path of rose petals 

Anticipation is half the fun of a romantic 

surprise. Start the excitement when your 

partner walks in the door by leaving a trail of 

rose petals leading to the kitchen table, where 

a good bottle of wine and a freshly cooked 

meal is waiting. 

5. Get a room 

Changing up your surroundings can give an 

automatic boost to your love life. It doesn’t 

have to be complicated – booking a hotel 

room, for example, can be a nice change to 

the day-to-day and can make you both feel 

instantly relaxed. 

6. Be homebodies 

Sometimes the best Valentine’s Day gift 

you can give is a bit of time together doing 

absolutely nothing. 

7. Dress up 

Make a dinner reservation somewhere fancy 

and dress up in your finest. 

So go on, make an effort this Valentine’s Day 

and show the one you love, just how much 

you care.

How to get fit 

WITH TOM HARRIS 

Are you feeling down about 

your fitness levels? Perhaps you 

overindulged at Christmas and can’t 

get back into the swing of exercising? 

Fear not Bounce Magazine catches up 

with fitness PT, Tom Harris for some 

expert advice... 

Hi Tom, could you tell us a little bit about 

your personal training business, ‘The Body 

Transformation Project’ and what services you 

offer? 

Hi Bounce. The Body Transformation Project 

offers mobile personal training for people who 

would prefer to train not in a gym but in the 

privacy and comfort of their own home or local 

park. All of the equipment will be brought to your 

home at a time and place to suit you. This offers 

fantastic flexibility for busy people who want to 

get fit and healthy but want to train on their own 

terms without being restricted by a gym and 

access to equipment. 

Typically sessions are 2-3 times a week for 1 hour 

and are specifically tailored to each clients’ goals 

and requirements whether that’s weight loss, 

muscle gain or improved cholesterol and blood 

pressure. Combined with training each client 

receives a complete nutrition plan based on his or 

her goals and preferred foods. Clients have 24/7 

access to assistance and advice. 

What is your personal approach towards health 

and fitness? 

My personal approach to health and fitness is that 

focusing on being healthy is the most important 

thing. Looking good is secondary and comes as 

a by-product. Once my clients have been taught 

to eat correctly and exercise intelligently they will 

end up looking lean and muscular and be fit by 

default. As such I always instil in my clients the 

importance of eating sensibly and using common 

sense and not falling for quick and faddy diet or 

exercise plans. I also believe that exercise should 

be fun, effective and time efficient. We all lead 

busy lives and it is not realistic for a working 

mum for example to visit the gym 5 days 

a week as most magazines try to tell you.

FEBRUARY 2017 FEBRUARY | ISSUE 2017 #52 | | ISSUE HEALTH #52& WELLBEING 

The Body Transformation Project with Tom Harris 

Instead my training approach is simple- we 

perform the minimal amount of work for the 

maximum results. Two-Three sessions a week is all 

it takes, training in your own home. Get it done, 

get on with life. 

I am overweight and I haven’t exercised in a 

while and I don’t know how I would even begin 

to start exercising again. Is personal training 

right for me? 

Absolutely, personal training is not all about 

green juices and masochistic workouts! Each and 

every client is approached in a personalised and 

individual way whether they are a professional 

athlete training for an event or someone who has 

never exercised. Many people feel intimidated 

by the fitness industry - the media places a huge 

amount of pressure on us all to feel like we should 

look a certain way, or do this workout or eat a 

certain way to fit in. 

This is nonsense and again focusing on health 

first is my solution. In the above instance we 

would start with small steps; taking a 15 min walk 

around the block, eating an apple instead of a 

chocolate bar, parking the car further away from 

the shop and walking, replacing white bread with 

brown – re-educating. Having a personal trainer 

who comes to your own home is private and I 

feel, less intimidating for most people. Also it’s 

a great motivator having someone personally 

support you 24/7.

The Wines 

of Greece 

We believe that wine was made over 6000 years ago starting 

with grapes from ancient Persia. Greece was part of the early 

development and included in everyday life as far as we know. 

BY ‘WINE BUFF’ FRED FISHER 

Trade in wine became extensive transported from 

end to end of the Mediterranean. Greek wine was 

held in high esteem in Italy. 

The Greeks called Italy Oenotria, meaning 

Wineland, as its climate and soil were beneficial for 

vine growing and benefited the Roman Empire in 

due course. 

and prescribed it regularly. Today Doctors take the 

Hippocratic oath when they qualify. 

The Ancient Greeks used vines including Vitis 

Vinifera which is the grape species used today. It is 

most adaptable, able to grow in most climates. 

The Climate 

It would appear that Greece would be too hot 

and too dry to grow quality grapes but its own 

indigenous varieties are able to cope. Some 

cooler areas and these local varieties lead to 

some success. From being one of the very first 

areas to make wine, it has now gone full circle to 

be a quality wine producer albeit in certain areas. 

The Spread of Greek civilisation and their worship 

of Dionysus, the god of wine spread the word. 

Hippocrates used wine for medicinal purposes 

Although using classic grapes from elsewhere 

it has achieved success and using its own 

indigenous varieties, sets it apart.

Winemaking 

From about 1985 many Greek winemakers 

returned home having learnt from experience in 

France, Australia etc. 

These winemakers benefited from modern 

methods and equipment as well as the use of 

cooler land areas. The classification system 

in Greece has used the French System with 8 

OPE’s, ( similar to AC) and 25 OPAP’s, ( similar 

to VDQS) 

The Wine Regions 

Macedonia in the North 

Includes Cotes de Meliton which has 

Chateau Carras in the area, using 

French grapes, producing great 

wines. Other classification areas 

include Naoussa which is good 

for reds using the Xinomavro 

grape. 

The Peloponnese in the South 

West 

Includes Patras, Nemea and 

Martinia, producing sweet wines from 

the Muscat grape and the Mavrodaphne for 

deep red sweet liqueur wines. 

Central Greece 

Across the middle of Greece including Attica, 

Epirus and Thessaly. Attica contains the Capital 

Athens, while Epirus is close to Corfu. Thessaly 

lies between Epirus and Macedonia. Dry whites 

are made in these regions from the Roditis grape 

as well as reds from Agiorghitiko and interestingly 

the Cabernet Sauvignon. 

Crete 

A number of lesser known grapes grow here and 

produce mostly Greek Vin de Pays, which is of 

lesser quality than the mainland 

Some of the Islands 

Samos has mostly Liqueur type wines from the 

Muscat grape. 

Rhodes has dry reds and dry whites from a 

variety of grapes. 

Paras uses a blend of red and white grapes. 

Santorini has dry whites from the Assyrtiko grape 

where the old vines are resistant to Phylloxera. 

Visanto is made on Santorini which uses sun 

dried grapes, the wine then aged in oak for 

15 years. It is the traditional wine used 

for communion in the Greek Orthodox 

Church. 

Retsina 

For at least 2000 years pine resin 

was used to seal a bottle of wine to 

stop it getting spoiled by oxygen. The 

Romans by inserting an impermeable 

seal, such as a wood, and using glass 

bottles negated the need for this. However 

the flavour and aroma developed by the resin 

became popular and is still used today, as an 

addition to the wine. 

Greece has produced wine for centuries and 

yet with its problematic hot climate find it hard 

to compete with other countries. With its own 

grapes and cooler parts of the country there are 

wines of exceptional quality and interest that 

other parts of the world should envy. 

Conclusions... 

Retsina has been the top wine for sales over a long time, but try their more expensive wines and you 

will be pleasantly surprised. What better than to enjoy their warm climate under a sunshade and try 

their good wine.

GRAZE AT THE WHITE HORSE 

BECCLES 

BY RACHEL DUCKER 

We visit Graze at The 

White Horse... 

Situated in Beccles, just a stone’s 

throw away from the town’s large 

clock tower, you will find Graze at 

The White Horse, a charming place 

to drink and dine no matter what 

day of the week it is. 

Owners Kevin Wainwright and David Little, 

previously managed the Bear and Bells public 

house in Old Market before they left to buy 

and run the Satis House hotel in Yoxford. 

Now the duo have decided to combine their 

expertise at the 18th century public house and 

have completely transformed what was known 

as ‘The Saddlers Arms’ into Graze, offering 

lunch, dinner and drinks in an informal and 

relaxed setting. 

Bounce Magazine were kindly invited along 

to review the establishment, along with local 

photographer, James Norman of Charlotte 

James Photography & Events in Beccles and 

our team mate Lois. Here’s what we thought! 

“As you enter the old style building you 

immediately notice that the décor is very 

contemporary, dressed in signature colours 

of grey, green and white. The bar is lit with 

candles and soft lighting, creating a relaxed 

58

HOME FOOD & GARDEN DRINK 


and romantic mood. 

After a warm greeting from Kevin, we were 

presented with a list of some of Graze’s House 

Cocktails, the best way to start a meal in my 

opinion! 

Upon the delivery of a ‘Twinkle’ and a 

‘Pornstar Martini,’ we then grazed upon 

freshly baked Bread and Olives in the bar area. 

What girl doesn’t like Cocktails and Carbs, 

after all?! 

As we browsed the evening food menu, we 

were delighted to see such a range of dishes 

from small bites to main courses from the grill 

and including cuisines from all over the world. 

Shortly after, we made our way into the chic 

and vibrant restaurant, complete with its 

open kitchen. It was then crunch time and the 

moment came to make our dinner choices. 

Between us we selected Pan-Fried Scallops 

with Chilli Jam, Suffolk Pheasant Pate 

with Onion Marmalade and Artisan Bread, 

Lebenese Squash Salad with red Onion, 

Za’atar and Tahihi and Mushrooms and 

Spinach Tart with Salad Leaves. What a 

combination! 

What I personally liked about my dish, the 

Scallops, was that usually, you only get three; 

well to my amazement and delight, Graze 

provided me with five perfectly cooked 

Scallops smothered in Sweet Chilli Jam. 

After being cheeky enough to sample 

59


everyone else’s dishes too, I was impressed 

with the strong and punchy flavours and clean 

presentation of the dishes. 

Graze benefits from the addition of a 

specialist chargrill oven, with a chargrilled 

section on the evening menu, it would have 

been rude not to sample these dishes for the 

main event. 

of the salsa, all thrown into one incredible 

tasting burger topped with spicy cheese and 

complete with fries in a brioche bun. For spice 

lover’s one word… amazing! 

Other selections from our group included 

Sirloin Steak served with Rocket, Fries, Grilled 

Mushroom & Tomato and Game Wellington 

with Mash, Kale and Madeira Wine Gravy. 

I could not resist the ‘Mexican Burger’, lets 

face it, everyone loves a good burger, but 

what I enjoyed about this particular one was 

the heat from the jalapeño’s, the coolness and 

texture of the avocado and the crunchiness 

Then onto the finale, although I couldn’t 

manage a dessert, I opted for a little pick 

me up and indulged in an Espresso Martini 

Cocktail, my fellow foodie friends went all 

out. They selected Pear and Almond Tart

with Amaretto Ice Cream, Pannacotta with Sweet 

Pomegranate Sauce and Chocolate Pudding with 

Vanilla Ice Cream; and I have to say, it kept them quiet 

for a good five minutes, they didn’t even offer me a 

taste! 

The final verdict: We highly recommend a visit to 

Graze, patrons can pop in for cocktails, wine and 

nibbles at the bar, a cafe-style lunch or an evening 

meal. We’d especially like to thank the team, Kevin, 

Glenda and Lucy. They all made our night very special 

with their personal and attentive service”. 

Graze now holds Wedding Receptions, has a private 

dining room for 10 and function room for up to 36.

Melanzane 

parmigiana 

A popular vegetarian 

dish... 

Method 

1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan (or wide 

saucepan), add the garlic, thyme and sage, and 

cook gently for a few mins. Tip in the tomatoes, 

vinegar and sugar, and gently simmer for 20-25 

mins until thickened a little. 

2. Meanwhile, heat a griddle (or frying) pan. Brush 

the aubergine slices on both sides with olive 

oil, then griddle in batches. You want each slice 

softened and slightly charred, so don’t have the 

heat too high or the aubergine will char before 

softening. Remove to a plate as you go. 

3. In a large baking dish, spread a little of the 

tomato sauce over the base. Mix 25g of the 

Parmesan with the breadcrumbs and pine nuts, 

and set aside. Top the sauce with a layer or two of 

aubergine slices, then season well. Spoon over a 

bit more sauce, then scatter over some mozzarella, 

Parmesan and basil leaves. Repeat, layering up 

– and finish with the last of the tomato sauce. 

Scatter over the cheesy breadcrumbs and chill for 

up to 24 hrs, or bake straight away. 

Ingredients 

• 2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for brushing 

• 3 garlic cloves, crushed 

• 3 thyme sprigs 

• 8 large sage leaves, finely chopped 

• 4 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes 

• 3 tbsp red wine vinegar 

• 3 tbsp golden caster or granulated sugar 

• 6 large aubergines, sliced lengthways 

as thinly as you can 

• 100g vegetarian-style parmesan, finely grated 

• 85g white breadcrumbs 

• 50g pine nuts 

• 2 x 125g balls vegetarian-style mozzarella, 

torn into small chunks 

• Handful basil leaves 

4. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bake for 30- 

40 mins until the top is crisp and golden, and the 

tomato sauce bubbling.

Refrigerate until ready to use. 

Ingredients 

• 1/3 cup pomegranate juice 

• 1/2 cup all-natural blueberry jam 

• 1 bottle of champagne or sparkling 

cider, chilled 

• Fresh blueberries for garnish, 

optional 

2. To serve, pour two to three

Managing a Family Split 

The breakdown of a marriage or relationship can 

be a difficult time and emotionally draining. 

As solicitors we cannot take away the emotional pain 

but we can help by providing independent advice. 

The first thing to do if your marriage or 

relationship breaks down may be to 

find out where you stand and most 

solicitors including Rudlings Wakelam 

offer a stand-alone meeting at a fixed 

fee. Such a meeting can be wide ranging, 

covering your various options such 

as divorce or a separation agreement 

also what arrangements you need to 

make for any minor children and the 

various ways in which financial matters 

may be resolved between you. 

An initial meeting with a solicitor can be 

used to discuss the possible costs of the 

various options available to you and to 

agree the next step that you need to take which may 

be as simple as talking to your spouse or partner or 

self-referring to mediation, which is a referral to an independent, 

usually legally trained, mediator who will 

help you move towards an agreement. 

At a stressful time such a meeting with a solicitor can be 

very important so be prepared to take a note or bring 

a friend or relative with you as two pairs of ears are 

definitely better than one. 

“We cannot take away 

the emotional pain but 

we can help by providing 

independent advice”. 

Here at Rudlings Wakelam all members of our family 

department are also members of Resolution which is 

the association for family lawyers and we are therefore 

committed to resolving family issues in a constructive 

way, helping you to focus on what is important in the 

long term and putting the best interests of 

your children first. 

We will use our experience to guide you 

through the options available to you. 

The Resolution (first for family law) website 

can be very useful to visit. This can 

be accessed via www.resolution.org.uk 

Once you have decided what your next 

step is, we can work with you to move 

forward for example by sending a letter 

to your spouse or partner or by drafting 

a divorce petition. No matter what you 

decide to do, all steps would be agreed 

with yourself beforehand. 

In order to resolve financial issues the first step is nearly 

always a process whereby you and your spouse or 

partner exchange details of your financial means and 

this can be dealt with through solicitors or mediation 

and is also the first thing that happens if court proceedings 

to resolve financial issues need to be started. 

At the initial meeting we can advise on keeping yourself 

safe both physically and financially during the breakup 

process. 

At all times we will listen to you and 

help to give you the confidence to 

make the right decisions for you 

and your family.

VAUXHALL 

REVEALS ALL NEW 

CROSSLAND X 

• All-new crossover model to be 

launched into booming SUV 

segment. 

• Elevated seating position, spacious 

interior, practical and flexible. 

• Vauxhall OnStar standard through 

Crossland X range. 

• Comprehensive infotainment 

features, plus raft of driver 

assistance systems. 

• Arrives in showrooms this summer. 

Crisp and compact on the outside, spacious 

and flexible on the inside, with unique two-tone 

paintwork and SUV-styling, these are the first 

pictures of Vauxhall’s all-new Crossland X. 

The newcomer adds a second vital ingredient 

to Vauxhall’s burgeoning SUV offering, which is 

due to grow still further in 2017 with the launch 

of the larger Grandland X later in the year. While 

the Crossland X’s recently-launched sibling, the 

Mokka X, has all-wheel-drive capability, is 70mm 

higher and has larger wheels for buyers with a 

taste for adventure, the Crossland X has a firm 

family focus, with a Tardis-like cabin providing 

high degrees of practicality and flexibility. 

74

APRIL 2015 | ISSUE #30 | 

XXXXX 

And at just 4.21 metres in length the Crossland 

X is more compact than the Mokka X, and a 

full 16cm shorter than the Astra Hatch, offering 

owners greater convenience while driving and 

manoeuvring in towns and cities. Adding to 

Crossland X’s urban appeal is an elevated seating 

position and an overall height, which is 

raised ten centimetres above the 

Astra’s. 

The Crossland X also enters a 

different SUV class to the Mokka 

X, with rivals such as the Renault 

Captur and Peugeot 2008. The 

Mokka X’s competitors include the 

Nissan Juke and Skoda Yeti. 

Exceptional driver and passenger comfort 

has been an obvious priority for a car entering 

this class. The Crossland X has specially designed 

AGR-certified adjust their seating position to 

increase leg room. This seating flexibility is 

equally valuable for luggage capacity, 

which is a class-leading 410 litres with 

the rear seats up. The flexibility 

of the rear seats allows the 

luggage capacity to be 

increased if additional 

leg room is not 

required. 

Additional 

innovations 

in the 

Crossland 

X make 

driving 

safer and 

more 

comfortable, and include a 180-degree 

panoramic rear-view camera, 

advanced park assist, forward 

collision alert with pedestrian 

detection and autonomous 

emergency braking, lane 

departure warning, speed sign 

recognition and side blind-spot 

alert, among others. Since 2012, 

the Mokka (which has recently been 

replaced by the new Mokka X) has found 

more than 120,000 buyers in the UK, its single 

biggest market in Europe, and this has been set 

against an SUV segment which have grown yearon-year. 

The Crossland X is set to bring still more 

growth when it goes on sale this summer.

DOMESTIC 

VIOLENCE 

Domestic violence is an ugly companion that 

sometimes we are too afraid to talk about. 

So let’s talk about surviving domestic violence. 

This is serious; one incident of domestic violence 

is reported to the police every minute. On 

average, two women a week are killed by a 

current or former male partner. 

THE SIGNS: 

• BEING JEALOUS OF WHO YOU TALK TO. 

Knowing the domestic violence signs will help you 

recognise a potentially dangerous situation. Often 

these signs don’t appear until the relationship has 

become serious. Whether you are dating, living 

together, or married, if you have experienced any 

of the following signs, talk to a professional about 

your relationship and domestic violence. 

• EMBARRASSES, OR PUTS YOU DOWN IN 

FRONT OF OTHERS. 

• FINDS FAULT, AND CORRECTS YOU FOR 

THINGS YOU SAID, OR DID AFTER SOCIAL 

EVENTS.

REMEMBER 

DOMESTIC ABUSE 

DOESN’T ALWAYS 

COME IN FORMS 

OF VIOLENCE. 

Verbal abuse could be considered the most powerful form 

of abuse. It never leaves bruises, but has the power to 

change and control a person completely. Domestic violence 

is caused by an abuser’s desire to gain power and control 

over their partner. Abusers use a range of different tactics – 

physical, emotional, sexual, financial – to achieve this.

5 TIPS 

for male grooming... 

So you’ve had your eye on the girl 

(or guy) of your dreams for ages 

and you’ve FINALLY secured a 

date for Valentine’s Day… Now to 

make sure that you look the part to 

keep them keen! Here is a list of 5 

top male grooming tips to get you 

started… 

1. Get your hair in the game... 

The bed head look might work when you’re 

going out for a casual coffee, but this is 

Valentine’s Day, and your date isn’t going to 

settle for minimum effort. No matter your hair 

type or length, you can always find a product 

to style it. Try out some hair clay – this styler 

promises high hold and a dry-matte finish, 

so that you can spike up, slick back or sweep 

across your hair as you please. 

2. Smooth over the cracks with soft 

skin... 

Your skin in particular is an area that you may 

want to start targeting in advance. Your date 

will be focused on your face whilst you chat 

throughout the evening, so you’d better make 

sure it’s looking smooth! A good 

exfoliating face wash is a solid place to start 

when it comes to cleansing the skin and 

removing dead cells. 

3. Get on board with a groomed beard... 

Even if you proudly boast a beard, it might 

not be the first thing that you think of when it 

comes to male grooming tips. However, if you 

aren’t going for a full shave this Valentine’s 

Day then it’s important to keep facial hair 

fly-aways at bay on your date. 

4. Come up roses with a fresh fragrance... 

A good scent can be the perfect accessory to 

any man’s outfit and can instantly make you 

come across as more attractive. 

5. Work your charm... 

Hold open doors, return your date’s questions 

and smile at all times – you can even glisten 

up your grin in advance with some whitening 

toothpaste! 

Go get em’ Tiger!

BANISH Tired Eyes 

Charlie Long tells us how to revive party eyes and 

cheat sleep... 

Many of us have a hectic lifestyle 

which unfortunately can take its 

toll on our skin, especially around 

our eyes. 

There is nothing like dark circles under the 

eyes to ruin your entire look. Even if your 

skin is smooth and your make-up is on fleek, 

sometimes no matter how much concealer 

you apply, if you have deep under-eye circles 

then eyes will be drawn to them. 

You are probably thinking that of course the 

answer must be sleep, but for some of us 

getting a good night’s sleep is not always that 

easy. 

Party Eyes is 

the latest innovation to combat tiredness, so 

how does Party Eyes work? 

Whether you have been tossing and turning 

all night or maybe you’ve been out partying, 

Party Eyes could be your saviour. 

This genius product contains a cocktail of 

super-powered ingredients such as hyaluronic 

acid, peptides and vitamins. 

88

HAIR & BEAUTY 

FEBRUARY DECEMBER FEBRUARY 2017 2016 | ISSUE 2017 #52 | #50 ISSUE | HAIR #52& BEAUTY 

• Hyaluronic acid plumps the skin and 

stimulates collagen production 

• Haloxyl reduces dark circles 

• Argireline minimises fine lines and wrinkles 

(Botox in a bottle) 

• Coconut oil hydrates and nourishes 

Party Eyes is easy to use, simply click the pen 

applicator until a small amount of product 

comes out of the top and apply it underneath 

the eye. 

Once the product has been applied, then 

either brush the product into the skin or dab 

it using your fingertip. 

You may feel a slight tingling around the 

eye but this just means that the product is 

working!

CARLA MIREILLE JONES 

Roses 

are not just red 

Last year it was all about matte and 

high contouring, this year it looks like 

it’s going back to a soft touchable look. 

So this Valentine’s Day why don’t you give 

yourself an on trend make-over to enhance your 

natural beauty. 

For the perfect dewy base, try Dior’s Nude Air 

Foundation. Apply it with a foundation brush 

for the best finish. Once on, it sets with a slight 

powder finish as the oil in it evaporates from the 

skin, but don’t worry it isn’t an ultra matte finish 

it leave the skin dewy and glowing. Top it off with 

Dior’s Nude Air Bronzer. A beautiful light bronzer 

with a glow, apply in a ‘3’ shape both sides of the 

face. By using these two products you will get a 

natural, dewy and glowing, soft, touchable skin, 

which is just what we want this Valentine’s Day. 

When it comes to finding your perfect Blusher 

shade, I have one simple tip for you. Gently pull 

your lip down to reveal the inner lip, the colour of 

the inner lip is often a good indicator for a natural 

blush shade for you. Bobbi Brown has a great 

range of shades for you to look at. 

For the most natural lip, try Clarins Eclat Minute, 

instant light lip balm perfector, it comes in a few 

shades adding just a tint to your lips whilst the 

mango butter in it truly revives the lips leaving 

them soft and kissable. 

For a bit more colour, why not go for a lip gloss? 

I feel that recently lip gloss’s have gone out of 

fashion, but they make your lips soft, glistening 

and inviting. Try Charlotte Tilbury’s Lip Lustre, 

Ultra shine and colour. Stay away from lip liners 

though, this look is all about soft and touchable, 

nothing to regimented. As roses are often thought 

of when we think of Valentines Day, why not finish 

your look with one of Dior’s Perfumes.

17 HAIR 

SUPER FOODS 

FOR 2017 

Constant Christmas styling and wet 

winter weather damages healthy hair, 

but these top 17 super foods promise 

to get tresses back on track this year. 

Some include iron-rich foods such as spinach and 

kale, as well as fruits high in Vitamin C, such as 

peppers and oranges. 

Salmon, pumpkin and sunflower seeds are also 

rich in different nutrients that make them hair 

superfoods of 2017. 

Finding nourishment in natural food sources is a 

good way to pack hair with the things it needs to 

get stronger and shinier. 

They work well alongside regular hair-care 

products to give you a barnet to be proud of. 

HERE ARE THE HAIRTRADE.COM 17 HAIR 

SUPERFOODS FOR 2017... 

94

HAIR & BEAUTY 

FEBRUARY FEBRUARY 2017 | ISSUE 2017 #52 | ISSUE | HAIR #52& BEAUTY 

1. Spinach 

2. Kale 

3. Brussel sprouts 

It may not be time to ditch the sprouts yet. 

These three foods are rich in iron, which is very 

important for thick healthy hair. Iron deficiencies, 

or anaemia, can be a leading cause of hair loss. 

4. Peppers 

5. Oranges 

An orange a day could keep tired hair away, 

because peppers and citrus fruits are packed with 

vitamin C, which helps the absorption of Iron. 

6. Salmon 

7. Soybeans 

Salmon and soybeans are full of omega 3, a 

nutrient that lines cells of the scalp and provides 

oils that keep hair hydrated. 

breakfast and keeping some almonds and 

sunflower seeds close by is a great way to protect 

hair from sun damage. That’s because they’re full 

of Vitamin E. 

16. Eggs 

17. Onions 

If your hair is starved of biotin it can make it 

brittle, which in turn can contribute to hair loss. 

Biotin promotes strong hair growth - so don’t be 

shy with the eggs and onions this year. 

For bookings or advice call 

Cabello on 01986 875007 or pop 

in and see us at 3 London Road, 

Halesworth, IP19 8LH. 

8. Sweet potato 

9. Carrots 

10. Pumpkin 

These three are great for vitamin A, which helps 

the hair’s sebaceous glands produce an oily 

substance that works as a natural conditioner. 

11. Brazil nuts 

12. Oysters 

Oysters might be an acquired taste, but they 

make it as a hair superfood because of high levels 

of zinc and selenium, which helps protect the 

scalp. Brazil nuts are also the best nuts to eat to 

top up on zinc. 

13. Almonds 

14. Avocado 

15. Sunflower seeds

SPRING IS IN SIGHT 

BY KATE LINES 

Kates Top Tip : Don’t leave houseplants on 

windowsills behind the curtains on frosty nights, 

especially if your windows are not double-glazed. 

This month there are signs of the 

approaching spring, with bulbs 

appearing and wildlife waking up 

as light levels and temperatures 

increase. 

General 

There’s plenty to do indoors this month to prepare 

for the season ahead. 

Outdoors, as the garden comes to life again, it’s time 

to prune shrubs and climbers, such as Wisteria as 

well as evergreen hedges. 

Sowing and planting 

Lily bulbs can be planted in pots, for flowers this 

summer. After growing on indoors or in a cool 

greenhouse, they can be moved onto the patio when 

in flower, so that you can enjoy the blooms. 

Bulbs coming up in the rock garden or in containers 

may benefit from overhead protection from the 

rain and snow. A sheet of glass or Perspex placed 

on piles of bricks will do the job. Sweet peas can 

be sown under cloches, in a cold frame, or in a cool 

room in the house. 

Any sweet peas that were sown earlier in the autumn 

can now be potted. 

102

HOME & GARDEN 

FEBRUARY 2017 | ISSUE 52 | HOME & GARDEN 


Top jobs this month: 

1. Prepare vegetable seed beds, and sow some 

vegetables under cover 

6. Divide bulbs such as snowdrops, and plant those 

that need planting ‘in the green’ 

2. Chit potato tubers 

7. Prune Wisteria 

3. Protect blossom on apricots, nectarines and 

peaches 

4. Net fruit and vegetable crops to keep the birds 

off 

5. Prune winter-flowering shrubs that have finished 

flowering 

103 

8. Prune conservatory climbers 

9. Prune hardy evergreen hedges and renovate 

overgrown deciduous hedges 

10. Cut back deciduous grasses left uncut over the

As I write this, with a mixture of embarrassment and 

raw anger, I have never been so fed up about the 

state of my club. 

IT’S TIME FOR MICK TO GO – BUT 

THAT WON’T SOLVE ALL OF TOWN’S 

PROBLEMS OVERNIGHT... 

I had asked the patient Bounce 

editor for a deadline extension 

for this column. In truth, I wish I 

hadn’t bothered. 

Had I written it just 24 hours 

previous, there would have 

been seeds of hope. 

That Mick McCarthy has 

found a winning 3-5- 

2 formula, that in Tom 

Lawrence we were watching 

one of the best in the 

Championship (albeit for 

only four more months) 

and that maybe the 

maligned manager could 

win us all round again. 

Then the shambles of our football club, 

both on and off the pitch, was laid bare to 

the millions who tuned in to watch us be 

deservedly dumped out of the FA Cup by 

non-league Lincoln City. 

I am a positive fella so I am going to start 

by congratulating the Imps on two hugely 

impressive performances where they largely 

dominated Ipswich. Their managers, fans 

and players were a credit to the club and, in 

one sense, they have restored my faith in the 

competition’s famed ‘magic’. 

Sadly, their 1-0 victory also restored my strong 

sense that it is time for Mick McCarthy to 

leave. 

I hate the fact my two sons are showing little 

interest in supporting Ipswich – but I also don’t 

blame either of them. Why would they? 

Leaving Mick aside for a minute, Marcus Evans’ 

desire to remain largely reclusive simply doesn’t 

work when things are this bad. It looks like he lacks 

passion and simply doesn’t care. 

Then there are the players. The ones we all hailed as 

the best Mick has had in his four years at the club. 

Well they have let down their manager pure and 

simple. There have been too many wretched 

performances of late, too many who are either not 

good enough or playing with 

such low confidence, that they 

don’t look good enough. 

Injuries have played their part 

and there are one or two notable 

exceptions. But far too few. 

And when a team lacks fight, 

passion, guile and creativity, you 

have to ask serious questions of the 

manager and his tactics. 

Sacking Mick won’t solve all the 

problems – and I fear we have an 

owner who doesn’t know what to do 

next. 

But we have to start somewhere. Unity among the 

club and the fans has to be restored. 

Mick will always be a gentleman and will always be 

someone who has worked wonders at my club. But, 

for me, it’s time for change.

As we all know the infrastructure 

around our beloved Suffolk isn’t 

great, there’s a lot of small winding 

roads which are often untreated at

are you? ... 

It’s easy to take for granted our car’s

what to do if your vehicle started to drift 

out of control? The right knowledge in that 

situation could well be the difference between 

life or death and thankfully our good friends 

over at Explore 4x4 can teach you all you 

need to know in how to avert disaster through 

their skid control course. 

Held on the skid pan at RAF Honington, just 

North of Bury St Edmunds, Action Man (and 

Kevin) visited on a very brisk morning with 

the track treated to simulate a slippery winter 

surface. 

With both front and rear wheel drive cars we 

had a great opportunity to test (and often 

break) the limits of the vehicles in these 

conditions whilst in the safety of a controlled 

environment. 

Under the expert guidance of our experienced 

instructors Adrian and Richard we at first 

took our cars out for a couple of laps to get

SPORT 

a feel for the vehicles and the road, once 

comfortable it was time to push it and in 

these conditions it doesn’t take much to lose 

control. 

A rear wheel drive car will typically oversteer 

with the back end stepping out whilst front 

wheel drive cars (of which are the majority of 

cars on the road) will understeer with the car 

skidding straight despite your efforts to steer. 

The key to both is not to jump on the breaks 

but to ease off the power and wait for the 

tyres to regain traction but please don’t take 

my word for it, the best way to learn is to do. 

You need to get a feel for this yourself so that 

should the need arise (touch wood it doesn’t) 

you are prepared and will instinctively know 

what to do. 

The half day course could prove invaluable 

but was also great fun, whilst it would be a 

different kettle of fish on the A14, drifting a 

car round a bend in a controlled environment 

doesn’t half put a smile on your face! We 

finished the day with a race round the track 

with control, poise and grace being key and of 

course, Action Man won! 

To learn this potentially life saving skill and 

have great time in the process then get in 

touch with Explore 4x4 via www.explore- 

4x4.co.uk (whilst your there check out their 

other great activities!)

FEBRUARY 2017 | JULY ISSUE JULY 2014 #52 2014 | | ISSUE | MUSIC ISSUE #21 &#21 

ENTERTAINMENT 

BY JACK STEVENS 

MUSIC 

It’s been nearly a year since we 

last attempted to catch up with 

East Anglia’s most elusive musical 

project. 

Bigboy have been going from strength to 

strength, and 2017 will be the year that 

we hopefully have the light of publicity 

deservedly shone onto them. 

With the assistance of their enigmatic PR 

team, they developed a highly complex 

PR stunt toward the end of last year that 

involved travelling for clues about their 

forthcoming release (due out on ATP 

Records). It started as a podcast that was 

giving away easter egg clues to the hidden 

location of carved QR codes in trees, 

given as map coordinates. Each gave you 

information of the next location, and the 

final one gave you the full album details. 

This clever scheme has attracted the 

attention of many industry figures, with 

label discussions and live dates being 

offered in abundance to the group 

towards the latter half of 2016. At the 

recommendation of Steve Albini, the band 

will be playing their first European live 

date at Primavera Festival in Barcelona this 

Spring. 

The press release also informs us that 

they’ve gone some extreme measures to 

gain wider attention… They released a 

collection of helium balloons, each with 

printed messages hidden inside, over 

the roof of John Doran’s office in North 

London (the headquarters of alternative 

online music publication, the Quietus). 

According to the band, there were talks 

of a ‘restraining order’ to be actioned, 

due to their insistent need for recognition 

from the journalist. An incident with a 

plough churning up a public park was also 

reported, but the band has since distanced 

themselves from the rumour, claiming that 

it wasn’t them. That’s all we know. Sounds 

like they’re keeping out of trouble, then. 

The group’s sound, we’re told, has grown 

considerably throughout the recording 

process, and the expansion of their 

sonic palette has resulted in a far more 

complex set up. Still as abrasive as ever, 

the record contains sections of Caribbean 

steel drumming, percussion being played 

with bones, and even a bagpipe solo. A 

challenging and experimental listen, to say 

the least. 

We can only hope that we keep getting 

glimpses of existence from the band 

who’ve been so highly regarded, yet so 

hidden, throughout the year. Keep your 

eyes open, for something strange is 

evolving on these soils as we speak. And 

it’s going to bewilder and delight in equal 

measure. 

See you next month - Jack

Archie’s 

Adventures 

A NAME CHANGE IN SIGHT... 

So during Christmas something 

pretty special happened. My owners 

are getting married next year!… But 

what ‘he’ must remember is that ‘she’ 

was mine first. 

Since I was 10 weeks old, my owner and me have 

had a unique bond. 

As she has no children of her own yet, I guess 

you can say I’m her baby substitute! She has 

more photos of me on her Facebook than 

anyone else! Uff and that’s they way I want it to 

stay! 

So what affects her, affects me, and now I am 

getting used to the idea of being ‘Archie Hunt’. 

Secretly, I think it’s a pretty cool name for when I 

am stalking those pesky pigeons. 

So my column this month is a tribute to the new 

arrangements, congratulations to them, and I 

officially announce, that I will now settle for the 

middle of the bed instead. 

See ya next month! 

Keep up to date with my antics on Twitter @ 

bouncearchie. 

Must confess, it took a little time to come round 

to the idea of having ‘a new man’ around the 

house, especially when he was taking my space 

in the bed and stealing my attention. 

Eventually we bonded, well we had to. He played 

me well. 

He gave me treats, we went cliff running 

together, swam in the sea, that kind of thing, but 

every time his back was turned, I took back my 

bloomin’ spot in the bed back!
