Win! 

Tickets to see Freak Power... 

Freak Power was originally formed in 

the early nineties by Norman Cook, aka 

Fatboy Slim, Ashley Slater and vocalist 

Jesse Graham. 

As the love child of Cook’s Beats International 

(‘Dub Be Good To Me’) and Slater’s seminal 

cult band Microgroove, their music was a 

mix of acid jazz, funk, soul and trip hop. They 

recorded their first studio album in Brighton 

in 1993, using a combination of tunes adapted 

from what was originally intended to be two 

albums - the Beats International follow up to 

Excursion on The Version and the Microgroove 

follow up to The Human Groove. 

Freak Power went on to have a massive hit in 

the UK with ‘Turn On, Tune In, Cop Out’ (used 

in a TV advert for Levi’s jeans) and released 

two albums, Drive-Thru Booty and More of 

Everything for Everybody. 

As Cook’s Fatboy career took off, Slater went 

his own way and released music under the 

alias Dr. Bone. He also produced the Oscar 

nominated soundtrack for the Dave McKean/ 

Neil Gaiman movie Mirrormask (2005) and 

won DJ Magazine’s award for Best Dance Track 

2006 – ‘Bass Phenomenon’ with Krafty Kuts 

and Tim Deluxe. 

Fast forward 20 something years, and Ashley is 

back with a Freak Power band which features 

some of the great original players from early 

Freak Power and Microgroove days. At their 

powerful, energetic live show on 14 March, 

they will play some of their older tunes, along 

with material from their new EP release ‘Peace 

Through War’. 

All you need to do to be in with a chance of 

winning this fab competition is to answer the 

following question… 

WHAT WAS NORMAN COOKS DJ 

STAGENAME FROM 1996 TO 2008? 

You should email your answer to 

hello@bouncemagazine.co.uk before 

28-02-18, making sure that you state 

your full name and address in the email. You 

must also be available to attend on this date.

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 44, a mother and a grandmother. 

We all know January can feel like the 

longest month ever after Christmas. 

People are shopped out, 

and are low on inspiration 

and feel good factors! 

my name on it! Times have changed and 

personalisation has become 

more available, I now have 

loads of bags, jewellery and 

clothing with my initials or 

name on them. 

So when you get to 

February things almost 

seem back to normal. 

Whilst it may still not be 

time to have a wardrobe 

overhaul, it is always 

good to add some colour, 

and wow, do I have some 

inspiration for you! 

I still really love anything personalised.

These are my favourites

amazingly vibrant clutch

are fabulous too. Get

bit of luxury. Wear them with jeans 

or smart trousers. 

I’ve also recently become a lover 

of turbans. Yes that’s right. Think 

1940’s movie starlets like Lana 

Turner and Laurel Bacall. Look up 

‘SARASDOWOPDOS’ she has so 

many beautiful designs. 

They may not be your bag but 

you can’t help admire the beauty 

of them. They would definitely 

inject some colour and drama to 

any outfit. The lovely Zsa Zsa on 

instagram is modelling some here. 

A great shoe company called 

MATILDA ROUGE are new to me 

and I fell in love with their style and 

boy are they snazzy! Unfortunately 

they’d sold out of my size in the 

Silver Star Brogues, but they 

would have been perfect for 

dancing to a bit of Northern Soul! 

I love turbans at 

the moment and 

my new dress 

from Javlin 

Finally, my favourite new item 

of clothing is this leopard print 

shirt-dress from JAVLIN in Bury 

St Edmunds. It’s a perfect dress 

up or down item. I’m looking at 

pairing it with these pink ankle 

boots from ZARA! 

So remember it’s so easy to treat 

yourself to something small and 

change a whole outfit by doing 

so. So go forth and be bold!

Valentine’s Day... 

Love is in the air this month

more of an effort for their 

partners on 14 th February. 

So, V-Day falls on a Wednesday 

this year, what to do? 

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? 

Schedule a romantic evening 

meal for after work, leave a 

present on the kitchen 

table? 

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. 

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 

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

what would we do without them? Go and make someone

Hen Party Advice 

for a First Time Bridesmaid... 

BY LISA MARIE SMITH 

So, you been asked to 

be a bridesmaid for the 

first time and you’re 

over the moon! 

make sure to keep an eye on the last minute finances in the 

days leading up to the hen, as well as on the day. 

LIMIT YOUR MONEY WORRIES 

Ask your guests to have all their money paid up in advance 

rather than fixing you up with the remainder of cash on the day 

of the hen. 

You can’t wait to watch your bestie 

or sister walk up the aisle to marry 

the person of her dreams. But first, 

you have the not-so-small task of 

planning her perfect send-off before 

she becomes a Mrs. 

So, what do you do now? 

TIMING IS KEY 

When it comes to organising 15-20 gals all looking at you for 

direction, you will be happy to have a schedule down on paper - 

just something simple outlining key times and locations. 

SORT THE TRANSPORT 

A really simple thing to do (but one that often gets forgotten) is 

organising transport from A to B - and making sure it’s factored 

into the original cost you sent the hens. 

Here are some of my top tips for a 

Hen party to remember... 

KEEP AN EYE ON THE BUDGET 

After you’ve sorted out the initial 

budget and pricing for the group, 

BREAK THE ICE 

Get everyone talking with an ice-breaker. This will give everyone 

the heads up on who’s who, and get people mixing. 

LOOK AFTER EVERYONE 

The bride is the lady of the hour, but don’t forget to make a 

20

WEDDING 

FEBRUARY FEBRUARY 2018 | 2018 ISSUE | ISSUE #64 | #64 WEDDING 

fuss of the guests too - you’re the host 

after all! 

KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE 

We hope that while planning the 

party you kept your bride in mind. So 

when it comes to the actual hen do, 

don’t produce any rude or tasteless 

memorabilia unless you know she’s up 

for it! 

WORK TOGETHER 

Most brides have at least two 

bridesmaids, so work as a team and 

delegate jobs on the day or for the 

weekend so that everyone has a role to 

play. 

What about a party pack?... 

First of all find a set of party bags which 

go with your selected theme, then you 

could add to it... 

• Headwear 

• A Miniature Bottle of Alcohol 

• Badges 

• Sweets 

• Eyelashes 

• Beauty Products 

• Sashes 

• Mugs 

• Dares and Forfeits 

• Lip Balm 

• Naughty Novelty Items 

• Novelty Sunglasses 

• Disposable Camera 

• Friendship Bracelets 

• ‘Survival’ Kits 

Now you’re all set to throw your first 

(epic!) hen, so enjoy! 

Happy Planning...

JEAN-JACQUES BURNEL 

Bounce Magazine’s Rachel Ducker speaks to JJ about his time in 

The Stranglers and what is in store for 2018... 

The Stranglers will be hitting the road again in 

March 2018, this time with The Definitive Tour. 

With the vast catalogue of material that the 

Stranglers have in their recorded arsenal, it is 

never easy to decide exactly which songs to 

bring together on record or perform live on 

tour but, in March 2018, the band will present 

their “Definitive” collection. The Definitive 

Tour is set to coincide with the planned rerelease 

of their first seven albums (six studio 

and one live) originally issued on the UA and 

EMI/Liberty labels. 

As always, audiences can expect to be 

swept up high on the wave of the Stranglers’ 

powerful sound during what is always 

an exhilarating live 

experience; pounding 

rhythms, soaring 

melodies, quirky humour 

and thrillingly daring 

musicianship will come 

together again this 

March. 

One of the UK’s most 

exciting, credible and influential British 

groups, the Stranglers are riding high on the 

crest of a resurgent wave of popularity. They 

continue to thrive on the live circuit and their 

existing large and loyal fan base has swelled 

in recent years as new converts join the ranks. 

With record-breaking, sell-out shows and 

festival appearances throughout the UK and 

the rest of the world, public demand to hear 

and see the group has never been so high; 

true testament to their considerable musical 

talent and the enduring quality of their songs. 

Rachel Ducker caught up with JJ Burnel, to 

find out about more about the band and their 

upcoming performance in Norwich. 

R: Hi there JJ... so I’m entering this interview 

very carefully as I once read that you used to 

strap journalists the Eiffel Tower… am I safe 

today? 

[laughs] Well, not on a regular basis! 

That’s good to hear! 

We did do that once though, yes! 

At the time it was a bit of a prank 

as we were getting hassled by a 

certain journalist, so we took him 

up to the first floor of the Eiffel 

Tower, took his trousers off and 

taped him to one of the girders! 

R: To be fair, if I was being 

hassled I think I would do much 

the same, so well done! 

Thank you! 

R: Going back to the start, how did you get 

into the music scene? 

I think that’s two questions really… the music... 

and music scene.

Music – I think anyone growing up in the 

UK in the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s would have a love

be in a band and make music, but it wasn’t 

a life ambition or a career. It just happened 

and suddenly I was involved in a bunch of 

desperados who could get arrested for 

anything. Eventually, ‘The Stranglers,’ after 

three years of struggling, hit jackpot. 

I started in classical music; I played the 

classical guitar at the age of 11. At this time, 

I was growing up, becoming a teenager and 

listening to everything that was happening, 

whether it was the British pop scene, or the 

Blues boom or whatever. Of course, at one 

time the whole nation listened to ‘Top of the 

Pops’ and there was one platform for music, 

so I grew up with that. 

Getting into the music scene was a complete 

R: Where did the band name ‘The Stranglers’ 

come from? 

Oh it’s just a terrible name! At the time, I have 

to explain, that when we started out, the only 

places we could play were either youth clubs 

or pubs, although we where desperately trying 

to play support on the university circuit, but 

no one would have us. 

We often got the plug pulled on us in pubs,

and then there would be a stand off. 

So after another one of these debacles, one 

night, we got booed off stage and people 

wanted to lynch us, and it was a coincidence 

that there was a movie about the ‘Boston 

Strangler’ by Tony Gurges, this was in the mid 

seventies, and one night, I came up with the 

name and said “the stranglers have done it 

again…” and it just stuck and we thought ok 

that’s a name, I mean who had names like that 

in those days! [laughs] 

R: It sounds like a memorable time? 

Well, it was a struggle, but I think I reflect on 

it with pleasure, at the time it didn’t seem like 

pleasure, but I think of it fondly now. 

R: You’re seen by many as an inspirational 

and iconic bass player, who were your 

influences growing up? 

Rachel, I’ve sort of absorbed everything I have 

grown up with you know? There was one band 

I did like when I was a student, ‘The Doors’, I 

really liked ‘The Doors,’ there were loads of 

bands I really liked, Peter Green’s ‘Fleetwood 

Mac’, but yeah, loads of stuff, no one big 

influence really. 

R: What was the earliest successful milestone 

you remember with the band? 

Oh well first of all, having been rejected by 

24 record companies, meeting a guy called 

Andrew Lauder, who was head of ‘United 

Artist Records’. He saw something in us and

persisted, despite coming to a few gigs and 

seeing us having pitched battles with the 

audience or being shouted off stage, but he 

signed us up so that was the first positive… 

and the second positive was having our first 

top ten single and our album, which stayed in 

the top five for a whole year. 

favourite song. 

Aww, well thanks to your mum for having such 

good taste! Do you know Rachel, we really had 

to fight to get it released? 

R: Really? 

R: During your time in the band you have 

had 23 UK Top 40 hit singles and 17 UK Top 

40 albums, what is the key to your success, 

that’s a long time? 

[laughs] Well… I would like to think its talent, 

it’s certainly not the good press we had in 

the early days! We had terrible press. I think 

it coloured people’s view of us musically and 

I think people judged us on our image more 

than on our musical output. I think that’s 

changed now as we’ve got a few pieces of 

music which come back all of the time. I think 

over time people have changed their opinion 

of us. 

The record company heard it and said, “look 

its not punky, its not what people expect from 

you, you cant dance to it, its got a unusual 

chord and we don’t want to release it”, so 

we had to actually enforce a clause in our 

contract to make them release it. 

So they released it just before Christmas, 

thinking it would get drowned in the Tsunami 

of Christmas releases and also they wouldn’t 

have to invest any money in it, unfortunately 

for the record company it developed legs and 

grew a life of its own and became a world 

wide hit. So then after that the same record 

company said, “Can we have another one”? 

R: This may be a tough question to ask… 

What is your favourite album out of the 

seventeen so far? 

That is a tough question, because I am fond 

of quite a few, some more than others. I have 

three really, but its very subjective Rachel. 

One is ‘The Raven’ another one is ‘The Gospel 

According to the Men in Black’ which is for 

most people unlistenable, and another one is 

‘Giants’. 

R: I guess you’ve recorded these at different 

points in your life so it must take you back to 

moments in time? 

Well, you’ve hit the nail on the head, that’s it, 

because that what music does, doesn’t it? 

R: Funnily enough, one of your songs ‘Golden 

Brown’ reminds me of my mum, it’s her 

R: It’s a song that’s stood the test of time. 

Yeah, and also it’s a lesson for anyone who is 

struggling to go with your instinct, you know, 

don’t get swayed by other people, just go with 

what you feel. 

R: The band has been around for a long time, 

but coming into 2018 do you think your 

demographic changed? 

It has, the demographic has changed 

noticeably within the last 12 years since we 

released the ‘Norfolk Coast’ album. Up until 

then it was people who had grown up with us 

from teenagers into adulthood. 

When this album came out it fitted in with a 

certain Zeitgeist, which also coincided with 

people being able to access the past through 

YouTube links and with things like the

X Factor. Teenagers started thinking all the 

bad press we’ve had and the bad things were 

actually badges of honour as now everything 

is so sterile and polished. 

So a combination of all of those things, there’s 

still an awful lot of ‘old bastards’ but yes, also 

a new wave of younger people. 

Now, I hear we have a mutual interest in 

Martial Arts. 

I am a 7th dahn, yeah; I trained in Japan three 

or four years ago. 

R: I expect like myself you have found this 

skill useful at times? 

R: How do you choose which songs to 

perform between the old and the new? 

We have so much material to choose from its 

always a bit subjective. We try to combine old 

with new, and it seems to work. 

R: Now that Jet isn’t touring with the band, 

do you miss his company? 

I miss him! I miss him as a person, yeah, 

how could you not? You get on so well with 

someone for so many years, and suddenly 

they are not there. 

He has been less frequent over the last six 

years. Three years ago we tried him on one 

song and he needed to go to hospital after 

that, he’s just not physically able to do it 

anymore. 

R: Speaking of tours, you are back on the 

road in March for a month-long tour that 

celebrates their four decades in music and 

your playing near us in Norwich on 19th 

March… 

That’s right at the UEA yeah. 

R: What can we expect from the show can 

you give away any secrets? 

[laughs] Expect the unexpected! 

R: Good answer! 

Its useful in everyday life, it gives you an 

openness… you don’t hide behind anything, 

you can be honest with people and it gives 

you the confidence to be yourself. 

Plus it keeps you fitter, healthier and focused. 

Do you know, I don’t get a chance to go to the 

dojo or anything but I can still train by myself 

which is motivating when your on tour. 

R: Do you think it’s helped your career? 

It must have yeah, when we’ve had downs 

in The Stranglers its put everything into 

perspective, it’s given me strength and also 

with the physical side of what we do, it’s 

helped me. 

R: My very last question is do you think there 

will be an 18th album? 

Well there definitely will be unless I keel over 

tomorrow as we are working on one at the 

moment, we are hoping to release this in 2019. 

R: Well thanks so much for your time JJ and 

best of luck with everything to come. 

Well thank you for wanted to talk to an ‘old 

bastard’. 

R: You’re not an old bastard it was my 

pleasure. 

Very sweet of you – all the best Rachel!

Why don’t diets work? 

One of the most popular New 

Year’s resolutions is weight loss. 

Are you one of many that started 

to diet in January? How’s it going? 

If it’s not going all that well, you 

certainly wouldn’t be the only one! 

According to Psychology Today, about 95% of 

people who lose weight by means of dieting, 

will regain it in 1-5 yeas. So I think it’s safe to 

say that if you want to lose weight, dieting 

may not be the best way. So why don’t diets 

work? 

SHORT TERM FIX 

Diets are a short term fix. Weight gain and 

lose purely boils down to the calories you eat 

and use. Eat more calories than you use, you 

gain weight, eat less calories than you use, 

you lose weight. Over time, most of us will fall 

back into old eating patterns and regain the 

weight because we still have the same habits 

that contributed to the weight gain originally. 

ARE YOU AN EMOTIONAL EATER? 

Another reason diets have a poor success 

rate is because most of us eat for many more 

reasons than just hunger. Have you ever 

found yourself reaching for the high sugar 

or carb food when feeling in a certain kind 

of mood? If you have, you’ve experienced 

emotional eating. Emotional eating is eating 

to fill emotional needs i.e to make yourself 

feel better, rather than physical needs i.e to fill 

your stomach. 

So if you want to lose weight and keep the 

weight off, change the relationship you have 

with food. All our behaviour has a purpose 

and that includes our eating habits, so a good 

place to start could be to determine if you are 

an emotional eater or not i.e do you turn to 

food for comfort, relief, reward or if stressed. 

Try keeping a food and emotions diary to help 

determine if you do turn to food for emotional 

comfort. 

If you would like help to lose weight, get in 

touch today, to see how I can help you reach 

your goal.

Express 

Yourself! 

WHILE YOU PUSH YOURSELF : FUN WAYS TO KEEP FIT! 

Getting fit can seem like a bit of a 

drag and a chore for many people. 

That’s what you want to avoid because when you’re 

not enjoying something, you become more likely 

to give up at it. As everyone who has tried to get fit 

before will know, anything that makes you want to 

quit is incredibly damaging. That’s why you need to 

find ways to get fit in a way that allows you to express 

yourself and push yourself at the same time. 

START DANCING... 

Dancing is another fun way of expressing yourself and 

having a good time. On top of that, it’s incredibly hard 

work and your body will be pushed to the max each 

time you dance. 

COOK UP YOUR OWN CREATIONS IN THE 

KITCHEN... 

People often don’t realise, but cooking is one of 

those things that’s actually really good for yourself. 

When you’re able to get into the kitchen and express 

yourself when your ideas and culinary creativity, you 

will work up a sweat. Just make sure that you have 

something healthy to eat at the end of it. 

TRAVEL AND EXPLORE... 

You’ll have your eyes opened to new and interesting 

things. It’s also great for getting fit because when 

you’re exploring a new location, you will be doing a lot 

of walking as you get about and see what’s on offer. 

There is no reason why you can’t express yourself and 

have a good time when you’re getting fit and healthy.

WELLBEING 

SEPTEMBER 2016 | ISSUE #47 | BEAUTY, HEALTH & WELLBEING 


BOW 

POSE 

(don -your-AHS-anna) 

Benefits 

Stretches the entire front of the body, ankles, 

thighs and groins, abdomen and chest, and 

throat, and deep hip flexors (psoas) 

Strengthens the back muscles 

Improves posture 

Stimulates the organs of the abdomen and 

neck. 

Cautions: 

High or low blood pressure, Migraine 

Insomnia, Serious lower-back or neck injury. 

How to try the pose: 

1. Lie on your belly with your hands alongside 

your torso, palms up. (You can lie on a folded 

blanket to pad the front of your torso and 

legs.) Exhale and bend your knees, bringing 

your heels as close as you can to your 

buttocks. Reach back with your hands and 

take hold of your ankles (but not the tops of 

the feet). Make sure your knees aren’t wider 

than the width of your hips, and keep your 

knees hip width for the duration of the pose. 

2. Inhale and strongly lift your heels away from 

your buttocks and, at the same time, lift your 

thighs away from the floor. This will have the 

effect of pulling your upper torso and head 

off the floor. Burrow the tailbone down toward 

the floor, and keep your back muscles soft. 

As you continue lifting the heels and thighs 

higher, press your shoulder blades firmly 

against your back to open your heart. Draw 

the tops of the shoulders away from your ears. 

Gaze forward. 

3. With the belly pressed against the floor, 

breathing will be difficult. Breathe more into 

the back of your torso, and be sure not to 

stop breathing. 

4. Stay in this pose anywhere from 20 to 30 

seconds. Release as you exhale, and lie quietly 

for a few breaths. You can repeat the pose 

once or twice more. 

Deepen the Pose: 

You can increase the challenge of 

Dhanurasana by performing the pose with 

your thighs, calves, and inner feet touching. 

Beginner’s Tip: 

Sometimes beginners find it difficult to lift 

their thighs away from the floor. You can give 

your legs a little upward boost by lying with 

your thighs supported on a rolled-up blanket. 

A partner can help you work on a preparation 

for Dhanurasana. 

With thanks to www.yogajournal.com/poses. 

Please take care in all poses, if unsure please 

attend a class or ask for a private lesson.

The Vegan 

LOW DOWN 

Is it me, or is it the year of the 

Vegan? I don’t know about you, 

but I’ve lost count of the amount 

of vegan related posts 

during BY RUBY January. REED 

It seems ‘Veganuary’ 

was definitely a thing! 

However, the trend 

still seems to be going 

strong. So what’s it all 

about? 

WHAT IS A VEGAN? 

Veganism is a type of vegetarian 

diet that excludes meat, eggs, 

dairy products plus all other 

animal-derived ingredients. Many 

vegans also do not eat foods 

that are processed using animal 

products, such as refined white 

sugar and some wines. ‘Vegan’ 

refers to a person who follows 

this way of eating. 

Sounding impossible? Well hold that thought… 

IS IT HEALTHY? 

A vegan diet includes all grains, beans, legumes, 

vegetables and fruits. Vegans can still eat highly nutritional 

and yummy meals! For example, most popular meals can 

be converted easily to a vegan version. Take a vegetarian 

Thai curry- when this is made with coconut milk it’s vegan 

- no meat, no dairy. It’s safe to say that many of our go-to 

foods are still on the menu including chips, bread, green 

salad, pasta and baked beans! 

In addition, many substitutes are available such as; soy 

milk, dairy free yoghurts, veggie burgers even vegan free 

mayonnaise to help pave the way to the vegan lifestyle. 

Like any diet or lifestyle choice it is important not to 

exclude a needed food group completely. So as long as you 

are sourcing your needed nutrients from a substitute you 

can remain healthy. 

Well-planned plant-based diets are rich in protein, iron, 

48


calcium and other essential 

vitamins and minerals. The 

plant-based sources of these 

nutrients tend to be low in 

saturated fat, high in fibre 

and packed with antioxidants, 

helping fight some of the 

modern world’s biggest health 

issues like obesity, heart 

disease, diabetes and cancer. 

BUT IT’S NOT JUST YOU 

THAT YOU’RE HELPING… 

OTHER REASONS FOR 

VEGANISM... 

The benefits are for all, 

starting with the most 

obvious, animal welfare. 

Preventing the exploitation of 

animals is not the only reason 

for becoming vegan, but for 

many it remains a key factor 

in their decision to go vegan 

and stay vegan. Specifics 

aside, avoiding animal products is one of 

the most obvious ways you can take a stand 

against animal cruelty and animal exploitation 

everywhere. 

AND ANOTHER THING… 

Why is meat and dairy so bad for the 

environment? The production of meat 

and other animal products places a heavy 

burden on the environment - from crops and 

water required to feed the animals, to the 

transport and other processes involved in 

getting the product to our plate. A plantbased 

diet requires only one third of the land 

needed to support a meat and dairy diet as 

considerably lower quantities of crops and 

water are required to sustain a vegan diet. 

Switching to veganism could be one of the 

most effective ways to reduce our impact on 

the environment. 

Food for thought I guess! But are you 

persuaded? 

Maybe it’s not a lifestyle change you’re 

completely ready to commit to. After all it 

would take some serious dedication. But if 

you fancy making the change just a few times 

a week, it all makes a difference.

FEBRUARY 2018 FEBRUARY | ISSUE 2018 #64 | ISSUE | FOOD #64& DRINK 

BY ‘WINE BUFF’ FRED FISHER 

Chardonnay versus 

Sauvignon Blanc 

The Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc 

grape varieties are without doubt two of 

the most prominent white grape varieties 

in the world. 

Indeed they are grown around the world where the climate 

plays an important part in dictating the style and flavours 

and aromas each have. Chardonnay takes its name from a 

village in Maconnais in France. 

CHARDONNAY 

This is probably the most famous white wine grape and 

was the most widely planted, although highly regarded in 

Burgundy and California, it produces high quality examples 

in areas such as Italy, Australia, New Zealand, Chile and many 

other countries. 

Chardonnay often adopts malolactic fermentation, to give 

it that buttery aroma, as well as the use of oak barrels to 

add vanilla and hints of spices. Lees contact in the barrel 

contribute biscuity, doughy flavours. 

The characteristics include tropical 

flavours in the warmer climates 

like California, Chile and Australia. 

Burgundy, particularly Chablis and 

Champagne are much cooler and 

lead to green apple aromas. Chablis 

was famously unoaked but there 

is a trend to using more oak. This 

is not necessarily a good thing as 

they tend to be like the Cote D’Or 

wines which use oak, and lose their 

previous style which was so popular. 

A good rule of thumb is that 

warm climates produce less acidic 

wine. To have more acidity if it is 

needed, early picking is advised 

or acid added. In cooler climates 

the challenge is that Chardonnay 

buds and flowers early, thus making 

it susceptible to frost. In Chablis 

particularly they have to employ 

braziers in the vineyards to warm the 

area and prevent frost forming. 

52

FOOD & DRINK 


SAUVIGNON BLANC 

Originally from the Loire Valley and Bordeaux 

in France it is not clear whether there is any 

connection with the Savagnin or the Carmenere, 

other grape varieties thought to be related. 

It is often blended with Semillon to produce a dry 

wine with more Sauvignon Blanc, or a sweet wine 

with more Semillon. 

Sauterne is the most famous sweet wine using 

approximately one third Sauvignon Blanc and two 

thirds Semillon. 

One oddity is that in the 18th Century 

it was paired with the Cabernet 

Franc (a black Grape) to form 

the Cabernet Sauvignon grape, 

now the world’s most planted 

variety. 

The vine arrived in California 

in the 1880’s where it is now 

known as the Fume Blanc after 

the sometimes termed smokiness of 

its bouquet. In New Zealand it arrived 

in the 1970’s and has been so successful it has 

achieved cult status. 

Sauvignon Blanc is found in mostly maritime 

climates or near to rivers. For example Sauternes 

and Entre-Deux- Mers in Bordeaux and the long 

Loire River. 

Sauvignon Blanc is grown around the world, 

with Australia being riper than its New 

Zealand counterpart. 

Chile also figures highly although 

originally confused with 

Sauvignonasse a far less important 

grape. In Brazil the Seyval Blanc, 

grown in England was thought to be 

the Sauvignon Blanc, many parts of the 

USA have the Sauvignon Blanc as well as 

some Canadian plantings. 

WHICH ONE TO CHOOSE? 

How do you choose between these two delightful 

grapes when made into wine? 

The climates in these parts allows the grape to 

develop a balance between acidity and sugar 

levels. 

A vineyard worker in Australia stated that when he 

had finished a hard day’s work in the vineyard, he 

preferred a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. 

The characteristics of the soils can impart more 

factors, for example, the chalk and Kimmeridgeon 

clay marl of Sancerre and Pouilly Fume produce 

wine of the richest complexity. The wines here as 

a result of the flinty soil, have a smoky, gun flint 

flavour. 

This he said, was due to its refreshing and 

herbaceous flavours and bouquet. 

However, with a meal, the Chardonnay would be 

sometimes better with food, particularly shellfish, 

fish and white meats. 

Conclusions... 

Of course when you have the better quality ones of both varieties then it is more difficult to choose 

which one you prefer in either context. Try them both and see which you prefer.

of the project’s volunteers. We can’t wait to revisit 

later on in the year to see the progress. 

In the cafe, you will find the perfect stop for a 

light lunch in a vibrant, Bohemian surrounding. 

As we made ourselves comfortable in the cosy 

seating area, totally embraced by exuberant 

leafy plants, we ordered a ‘Dark and Stormy’ 

from the cocktail menu… Yes, it was a Sunday 

lunchtime, but when your are in the relaxed 

surroundings of the jungle it didn’t seem to 

matter! They arrived in long glasses decorated 

with a bright edible flower… a sign of things to 

come! 

From the menu we selected the ‘Vegetable 

Mezze Platter’ with homemade flat-bread and 

the ‘Vegan Jungle Curry’ with sweet potato, 

cavolo nero, white beans, ground almonds in a 

tandoori spice, served with mango chutney and 

popadoms. Both dishes were fresh, flavourful 

and the quality of the ingredients shone 

through. 

We dropped in to sample the lunch menu, 

and fear not, if you are conscious about how 

many miles your food has travelled you will be 

surprised to hear at Urban Jungle its not very 

far at all! 

New to the site is The Edible Jungle, and the 

aim is to provide daily harvests all year round. 

We caught up with propagation manager 

Niamh, who gave us a tour and an insight into 

her vision for the project. Her hope is that The 

Edible Jungle can provide the majority of the 

cafes ingredients, providing great tasting dishes; 

delicious and visually appealing using chemicalfree 

vegetables. 

There is also a month watering brunch menu 

which you can enjoy from 10am everyday. The 

full lunch and sharing menu is available from 

Midday everyday. Cocktails, wines, beers and 

spirits are available all day, everyday from 11am. 

Amongst the seating and plants in Café Jungle 

is a selection of soft-furnishings and fair-trade

From tasty salad leaves to chillies, the plan is to

minutes, until tender. Drain, then mash. 

Vibrant, Tuck into these meat-free 

scotch eggs for a light lunch or 

pack them into your hamper for a 

vegetarian picnic snack. 

Packed with potatoes, vibrant 

turmeric, black mustard seeds, fiery 

chilli and perfectly runny eggs, these 

tasty veggie bites are surprisingly 

simple to master with this easy 

recipe. 

Ingredients 

• 750g (1 1/2lb) floury potatoes, thick cut 

• 1 tbsp olive oil 

• 1 shallot, finely sliced 

• 1 tsp black mustard seeds 

• 1 tsp ground turmeric 

• 1 tsp fennel seeds 

• pinch chilli flakes 

• handful fresh coriander, finely chopped 

• 10 eggs, 6 whole and 4 beaten 

• plain flour, for dusting 

• 1 1/2 x 175g packs golden breadcrumbs 

• sunflower oil, for deep frying 

• mixed salad, to serve (optional) 

• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying 

pan. Add the shallot and gently fry for 

5 minutes, or until softened. Stir in the 

dried spices and cook for 1 minute more. 

Add to the mashed potato with the 

coriander and some seasoning; mix well. 

Set aside to cool. 

• Boil the whole eggs in a pan of boiling 

water for 3 minutes for soft yolks. Drain 

and cool under the cold tap. Carefully 

peel. Divide the mash into 6 and flatten 

into discs. 

• Mould around each boiled egg until 

completely covered. Dust with flour, 

then dip in beaten egg and coat in 

breadcrumbs. 

• Heat the oil in a deep pan. Once it has 

reached 170°C on a thermometer (or a 

cube of bread browns in 40 seconds), 

add the eggs, two at a time, and cook 

until golden. 

• Remove with a slotted spoon and 

drain on kitchen paper. Repeat with the 

remaining eggs. Serve warm with salad. 

TOP TIP: 

Make a meal of the Scotch eggs by serving 

with a leafy radish and cucumber salad – 

delicious with a mustard dressing.

ALL SAINTS 

HOTEL... 

By Rachel Ducker 

Situated just two miles from the centre of 

the historic town of Bury St Edmunds, All 

Saints Hotel is perfectly located whatever 

the occasion. 

Bounce Magazine were kindly invited 

along to review a meal at The View 

Restaurant and Café. Here’s what we 

thought... 

“I wasn’t sure what I 

was expecting from 

All Saints, I once 

knew it as ‘the old 

golf club’, but not 

anymore. 

From the moment we stepped into the 

modern, newly refurbished restaurant, I 

knew we were in for a treat! 

Warmly greeted by our waitress for the 

evening Lily, we were shown to our table, 

which overlooked stunning panoramic 

views across the 18 hole golf course. 

The innovative layout of the room, 

combined with open kitchen and 

64

FOOD FOOD FOOD & DRINK DRINK DRINK 


impressive bar station, all work together to 

present a warm and comfortable place to 

socialise in. 

Not forgetting a large outdoor terrace, 

perfect for during the summer months! 

As Lily tentatively delivered us our drinks 

whilst we browsed the menu, designed by 

Head Chef, Steve Windser, we were thrilled 

to see plenty of options for all, especially 

vegetarians! 

The team at All Saints strive to use the 

very best locally sourced and seasonal 

produce to create culinary delights to 

appease diners. With that it mind it was 

time for us to order. 

“On this particular evening it 

was a little chilly, so I wanted 

something heart-warming.” 

I decided upon the Homemade ‘Mushroom 

and Tarragon Soup’ to start, which was 

unusual for me, but it jumped out, I think 

made the right choice. 

The flavours of the Mushroom and 

Tarragon were perfectly balanced and it 

was served with a large, warm piece of 

Homemade Granary bread, notably light. 

Whilst I warmed up, my partner Sam 

opted for the ‘Beetroot Gnocchi’ served 

65


with beetroot puree, roasted beetroot, 

Boccocini and basil. 

It looked fantastic. The sweet kick of 

the beetroot complemented the basil 

and none of the flavours were too 

overpowering. 

To follow, I enjoyed the ‘Porcini Mushroom 

Ravioli’ with a cheeky portion of handcut 

chips. 

I have to say, these were some of the 

finest chips I’d hand in a while! (Note: New 

Year diet out of the window)! 

Sam enjoyed the chefs special Risotto 

with all of the best seasonal ingredients 

included in it. The rice within the dish 

was cooked well. For the non-veggies out 

there, you can also have this dish with Pan 

Fried Scallops and Crevettes. 

We were slightly spoilt for choice when 

it came to desert, however, my chocolate 

loving fiancé couldn’t resist the ‘Dark 

Chocolate Fondant’ with marshmallow and 

malted milk Biscuit. Gone in seconds! 

I like to round off my meal with a bit of 

a palate cleanser so the ‘Warm Lemon 

Sponge’ served with lemon curd and a 

local raspberry sorbet, was just idea for 

me. 

When it arrived it a de-constructed lemon 

66

FOOD & DRINK 


meringue… it was sweet but delicious! 

Overall we really enjoyed our evening at 

All Saints. 

There was a good selection of drinks at 

the bar and by the end of our meal every 

table around us was full.

I must highly commended Lily once 

again, who took great care of us from 

start to finish. Great staff really do make 

a difference! 

So whether its for a coffee, a business 

lunch, a birthday celebration or a 

cocktail with friends you need look no 

further than The View Restaurant & Café.

Snack Healthy with New 

Fairfields Lentil Bites! 

Reaching for a bag of snacks doesn’t have to add 

inches to your waistline. 

The pace of modern day life means consumers 

are increasing looking to pick up a quick snack 

without breaking the bank. 

The delicious new Lentil Bites from Fairfields Farm 

are low fat, low calorie and full of flavour! 

Essex-based artisan crisp producer Fairfields Farm 

has been farming potatoes for three generations in 

East Anglia, and started producing its own handcooked 

potato and vegetable crisps in 2006. 

Lentil Bites are the newest addition to the snack 

aisle, offering something completely different to 

health-conscious nibblers. 

They are made using nutritious and wholesome 

lentil flour which is not only healthy, but also offers 

a slow-release of energy that helps keep you full 

up. 

The new Lentil Bites are available in three tasty 

flavours: Blue Cheese, Jalapeño Chilli & Lime and 

Tomato & Herb. And, at under 99 calories a bag, 

you can enjoy them without the guilt. 

These snacks are available in 20g foil-fresh bags, 

RRP 75p. They are gluten free and made from all 

natural ingredients. 

The Bounce team sampled all three flavours of 

Lentil Lites, with the Blue Cheese flavour taking 

the plaudits for its amazing cheesy flavour and 

light crunchy texture.

FEBRUARY FEBRUARY 2018 | ISSUE 2018 | #64 ISSUE | #64 HISTORY 

NORFOLK... 

DID YOU KNOW? 

Usually it smells lovely, especially during the 

rapeseed growing season but occasionally it won’t 

smell quite that luxurious. 

There’s a smell in the fields that we all know and are all used 

to. It’s called manure but it’s just one of those things that you 

expect from living in the countryside. The smell of rain on a 

warm summer day is well known throughout the world but in 

Norfolk its exquisite. 

If the Norfolk dialect is part of your daily speech, you’ll know 

what a bishy barnabee is. This is one of those things that 

Norfolk folk always use to confuse outsiders and show off just 

how different the Norfolk ‘language’ really is. For those of you 

not from Norfolk, bishy barnabee is a ladybird. 

The Norfolk dialect is very distinct with words that aren’t 

widely used elsewhere in the UK. A standard Norfolk accent 

is usually fine but you’ll come across someone, usually a 

good old boy who is a little more difficult to understand. It’s 

very much like Hot Fuzz, where the locals translate the West 

Country wordings of local farmers to outsiders. 

You will even come across Norfolk dialect in villages 

throughout Norfolk used on road signs, with a favourite of 

mine being ‘Slow You Down’. 

As there is no motorway serving the county, things do slow 

down. You’re stuck on 40-60 mph roads with very few dual 

carriageways to be seen. Once you’re on a trunk road out of 

the county, it can be a lot easy. But you will get stuck behind 

a tractor on a road where you just can’t overtake. 

Why would you want to leave? Unlike other parts of the 

country where people move away for work or university, 

people stay in Norfolk. I like to 

be of the opinion that it’s far too 

beautiful and historic to leave. 

Costessey, Deopham, 

Fulmodeston, Haddiscoe, 

Happisburgh, Mundesley, 

Postwick, Reepham, Stiffkey, 

Tasburgh and Wymondham 

are village names that people 

constantly pronounce incorrectly 

and this will alert the locals to 

say, ‘you’re not from these parts’. 

Norfolk isn’t 100% flat. West 

Norfolk is relatively flat, and 

much of the county is actually 

rolling hills and sharp cliff faces. 

It’s very easy to get out of 

sorts during a walk, more so in 

the North Norfolk area. Try to 

climb to the top of the gazebo 

in Sheringham Park to take a 

look upon the rolling landscape, 

which was carved by an ancient 

glacier. Living in Norfolk you will 

at some time became acquainted 

with these hills as the young who 

explore around the countryside.

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, here’s our top five ‘nonlame’ 

ideas for fun things to do... 

1. Exchange mix CDs 

This used to be cliche, but nobody uses CDs 

anymore, so this is now uncliche. Weird how 

the times have changed, right? Create your 

own Valentine’s Day love list! 

2. Make a simple dinner 

Grilled cheese. Spaghetti. Pasta. Restaurants 

are incredibly busy (& cliche) on Valentine’s 

Day. You know how hectic it can get. Who 

wants to wait 60 minutes for a table? 

3. Host a Palentine’s Day party 

The day to show how much you love your 

pals. Ask the girls (or guys) to come over and 

bask in the glory of friendship. Eat, drink, and 

be merry. Together. 

4. Heart shaped pizza 

A heart shaped pizza is every girl or boy’s 

dream. Do it. They will not be let down. 

5. Rent a horror film 

Just don’t watch a chick flick. Don’t do it. How 

cliche is that? A horror movie is even more of 

an excuse to cuddle. Hehe. You clever minx 

you. 

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

and show the one you love, just how much 

you care.

Love your 

Skin... 

Are your skin and body in safe 

hands? Are you sure that the 

beauty therapist you visit is the 

best one for you and are they 

actually qualified? 

When you visit a beauty salon are you aware 

that you are actually putting your body, and 

especially your SKIN, the largest and the most 

important organ of the body, in the hands 

of your therapist. I am sure that when you 

want to visit a doctor you make sure that he 

is the best in his/her profession? Then surely 

you should feel the same way about your 

therapist? 

Your skin is like the gift-wrap of your body. 

Besides that, any problem with your body 

or your health, it first reflects on your face. 

It is said that, the first impression is the last 

impression. 

Here are some tips on how to choose the right 

salon for you and making sure your therapist 

has experienced more than just a day course: 

Experience 

Always ask for the therapist’s previous 

experience. 

Good quality products 

Check that the products used are of quality; you 

have all the rights to which brand products they 

use on your skin or what ingredients they contain 

and what will they exactly do to your skin. A 

good therapist will always be able to explain 

the benefits of products with all the active 

ingredients of the products. 

Price 

Shop around. I do not mean to say, go to salon 

which offer cheaper services or go to costly 

salons. I mean to say where ever you go always 

check the reason behind the prices. 

Qualifications 

Ask your therapist for a list of their qualifications, 

if they have done the work they wont be 

offended!

Go Natural 

THIS VALENTINE’S 

CARLA MIREILLE JONES 

We associate Valentine’s Day with red… 

Red lips are still very in, as well as burnt 

orange eye shadows, but how about going 

natural this Valentine’s Day? 

The one place you don’t want redness is 

your skin. I am someone who suffers from 

redness, so I know how annoying it can be. 

There is good news though; Dior has come 

to our rescue! Their brand new 

moisturiser helps to fight the first 

signs of ageing. 

You can now choose from six 

different serums, which mix in 

with the moisturiser to make it a 

quick one step. 

The anti-redness serum helps calm down 

any imperfections you may have on your 

skin leaving your skin flawless! Perfect for 

that Valentine’s date! 

For a nice natural looking blush, Clinique 

Chubby Cream Sticks are great to put 

on over a liquid foundation, but before 

powder. Giving the perfect blush. 

For those who love natural products, 

look no further than Rosina’s Lotions and 

Potions, this is my friends company so I 

know just how natural and amazing these 

products are! 

As it’s Valentine’s try their ‘Natural 

Rose Lip Balm’ not only does it 

smell delicious, the ingredients 

include honey, beeswax and 

healing rose oil with Vitamin E 

to smooth those lips ready for 

them to be kissed.

Bounce Magazine speaks to Sarah Gare about her extensive line of 

natural skin care products… 

Shopping for skincare is overwhelming enough as 

it is with so many products we buy with our hardearned 

cash, but when you want to ensure that the 

cleanser you are buying is cruelty-free and maybe 

even vegan, you are even more likely to leave the 

store with a headache. 

If you’re a newbie to vegan skincare, fear not, we 

have just the thing for those seeking a ‘clean’ way 

of life. 

We speak to Sarah Gare about her natural skincare 

brand, ‘Funky Skincare’ and the extensive line of 

products she has to offer, available to buy online, 

from the comfort of your home. 

Hi Sarah, thank you for speaking to us. How long 

has Funky Skincare been running? 

Funky Skincare was launched in 2014. We held a 

Health and Beauty Show at the Forum. 

How did you come up with the idea for the 

business, was there a “light bulb” moment? 

One of the reasons for starting Funky Skincare was 

that I suffer with Psoriasis, a skin condition that 

means I am often prone to flaky patches of skin 

that for me appear on my scalp or elbows. 

Having suffered with this Psoriasis from an 

early age I had worked through all the options 

the Doctors could offer with still no solution to 

manage the problem. 

I was determined to find a natural solution. 

After extensive research we discovered a number 

of independent brands that produced fantastic 

natural products and Funky Skincare was born. 

92


Does natural and organic mean expensive? 

The terms natural and organic are often associated with a 

higher price tag. 

At Funky Skincare we believe that natural skincare should 

be accessible to everyone and as such ensure our products 

are always at an affordable price. 

How are your products different? 

We set a core criteria for our products and we are very 

strict, our focus has stayed the same from the beginning, 

we won’t deviate from our ethics for a fad product. 

This means our products are all natural or organic, never 

tested on animals, free from SLS and Parabens with no 

nasty chemicals, no microbeas and most important of all - 

they must actually work! 

How do you operate? 

We prefer to work with independent companies rather than 

larger corporates as we like to support smaller business 

like ourselves as well as bring wonderful unique products 

to the wider market. With our name being ‘Funky’ Skincare 

our products all have a ‘Funky’ edge to them in one way or 

another. 

What’s new for 2018? 

While chatting to our customers there has been an 

increasing demand for Vegan friendly products over the 

last two years. 

For more information call 

01603 322551 or visit 

www.funkyskincare.com 

Although all our products are never tested on animals we 

recognise that there is more that we could do to protect 

our planet and animals and are on a mission this year to 

ensure our entire range is Vegan friendly. At the moment 

around 80% of our range is vegan and in the remaining 

products we only have ingredients such as honey and 

beeswax. 

Veganism isn’t all about the food we eat (as you know) 

it’s not a fad diet, it’s a conscious choice of what you 

will or will not eat or use. This carries through into our 

skincare too so for the ethically conscious we are able to 

provide a wide range of options and ways to shop on our 

website so that our customers do not feel like they have to 

continually check the labels to know if our products fit their 

requirements.

It’s the time of year, where dryness 

and dehydration play havoc with 

our skin. 

Plummeting temperatures, hot showers, 

harsh winds, and central heating - all things

a soft, radiant complexion. 

Tightness, dryness, flaking 

and itchiness are all signs 

of dry, dehydrated skin, and 

SK have the perfect facial 

to target all these signs. 

The Plantomer Hydrating 

Facial is a soothing, 

nourishing, and calming 

facial which visibly 

enhances the skin’s texture and maximises 

hydration and is suitable for all skin types. 

This refreshing, soft lift-off mask combines 

the hydrating benefits of Seaweed the 

ocean’s finest resource with revitalising 

Propolis, a natural healing and desensitising 

substance, which is rich in natural 

antibiotics and Vitamin A. 

This facial is even suitable for sensitive, 

eczema, and psoriasis prone skin types. It 

renders the skin undeniably radiant with 

highly visible results.

half to book it for you.

COPELAND INTERIORS 

BY CLARE HINDLE 

When the month’s of 

January and February are 

so miserable, it is great to 

seek inspiration from some 

of the new 2018 fabric and 

wallpaper collections. 

We have loved looking at collections 

including Osborne & Little, Designers 

Guild, Jane Churchill, and Colefax. 

There seems to be a feel of bold colour 

and opulence this season, not forgetting 

the ongoing trend of metallic’s.

Rich printed velvets; luxurious

One collection we are totally loving 

is ‘Palazzo’ and ‘Manarola’ from 

Osborne & Little.

Adding an Italian feel to the 

collection ‘Palazzo’ is inspired from the Grand Palazzi on the Grand Canal in Venice 

and the history of art associated with Venice from the early renaissance to Peggy 

Gugenheim. 

As for the ‘Manarola’ the look comes from the Italian Riveria and villages on the North 

West Coast. 

Other collections with a similar feel, with richness in colours are from Blendworth. 

Their ‘Library Collection’, taken from 

their achieves, has been revitalised 

with a real liberty undertone. 

It is great to see so many unusual 

designs appearing, which really adds 

an edge to the usual run of the mill 

designs seen on the high street. 

If you are looking for something 

different and more designer lead, 

then pop along and see us!

Just like it used to be… 

BUT BETTER! 

excitement when you collected the keys 

to your first home together? The freedom, 

the privacy to do what you wanted when 

and where you wanted? The romance and 

thoughtful gestures? 

We’re already well into 2018 so you 

won’t need reminding that time 

flies! 

A thought occurred to Steve and I recently 

about the excitement and adventure of 

getting a first home together. About how 

life has a habit of taking over, we’re stuck in 

‘doing mode’ and the initial novelty quickly 

recedes into the dim and distant past. 

The future was filled with endless 

possibilities, it was you two against the 

world. 

And then life happened. Careers, the start 

of a growing family and extremely long 

days which only stopped when you gave in 

Whether it’s children, work or both, we 

often succumb to the daily grind without a 

second thought. 

But do you remember that whirlwind of 

102

HOME & GARDEN 


to (often interrupted) sleep. 

Increasingly, today’s ‘middle-aged’ parents 

are becoming caught in an unintended 

situation between the older and younger 

generations. 

WHAT DO WE MEAN BY THIS? 

In the UK, the majority have increasingly 

long, and for the most part, healthy lives. 

This has resulted in a ‘aging population 

crisis’ where almost a fifth of the 

population is 65 or over. 

With the scarcity and cost of reputable 

Care Homes for the elderly, more and more 

families are looking at options to care for 

parents in their own homes. 

Just when you thought you were an empty 

nester! 

When it comes to our children, property 

prices, coupled with stagnant wage levels 

have meant that more and more of our 

offspring are staying at home, or returning 

to the family home. 

Are you working from home and finding 

your professional paraphernalia is 

conquering room after room? A garden 

office could be a perfect solution! 

Caring for an elderly relative who wants to 

retain independence? Why not consider a 

granny annexe? Likewise, this space could 

be used as a self-contained space for your 

stay-at-home son or daughter (and their 

‘stuff’!). 

High quality, flexible and long lasting, when 

you’re done with those particular needs, 

you’ll have a space to do with as you wish. 

Meanwhile, there’s a chance to return your 

home to, well, your own home! It certainly 

worked for us! 

Debbie Lamond and Steve Parker are coowners 

of Parker Home and have recently 

moved their own business headquarters into 

a self-designed and built garden office. 

You can find out more or get advice on 

how to create your own unique space by 

calling Bury St Edmunds: 01284 386899 

/ Cambridge: 01223 789786 or visit www. 

phihome.co.uk. 

It’s not uncommon to have children at 

home until they’re well into their late 

twenties these days, while they save for a 

deposit, for example. 

This is not the future that most of us will 

have envisaged! 

SO, WHAT ARE WE TO DO? 

For those of us experiencing one, or both 

of the examples described above, a great 

option is the creation of a new space in 

your garden.

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.

BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU 

BY ROSS “ACTION MAN” WISHART 

So it’s February and you’re probably 

kicking yourself having already let 

the New Year resolution slip? 

Well fret not because Action Man is here to 

give you another dose of inspiration, this 

month it’s in the form of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. 

BJJ is a Martial Art that focuses on 

grappling and ground fighting that was 

developed by the Gracie family in the early 

1900’s, which promotes the concept that 

a smaller, weaker person can successfully 

defend themselves against a bigger, 

stronger, heavier assailant by using proper 

technique, leverage, and most notably, 

taking the fight to the ground, and then 

applying joint locks and chokeholds to defeat 

the opponent. 

Now, we all know by now that I’m not 

particularly large in stature, so I was keen 

to give it a go when and I visited Dynamo 

FightSports BJJ team, who train at the Grange 

Fitness & Performance Centre in Martlesham. 

The group boasts an impressive wealth of 

championship winners but are very keen on 

introducing beginners to the sport and I was 

welcomed with open arms, quite literally... 

(more on that later)! 

The session started with the important 

warm up, particularly for a man who looks 

like he swapped his sporting endeavours for 

competitive eating over the festive period! 

(Note for editor: need a bigger Uniform). 

This was followed by a series of drills, basic 

112


SPORT 

movements and sequences that formulate 

the foundation of BJJ. The instructors and 

experienced members were excellent and very 

patient in helping me learn and understand 

the actions. 

It was time to put all that into practice with 

some sparring, as a beginner you’d spend 

more time on the drills but Action Man 

puts his body on the line for your reading 

pleasure! Now it’s fair to say the step by step 

in slow-motion is much easier than trying to 

remember everything I’ve just learnt whilst 

someone is on top of me trying to do to me 

what I’m trying to do to them. Here you fully 

understand the BJJ methodology, whilst I 

tried with all my Might, I could not budge an 

inch of the smaller chap who had me pinned. 

However, when I faced a larger opponent and 

focused on my technique... bingo! Landed the 

submission I was looking for. Precision over 

power, function over force that’s the BJJ way 

and what a great experience it was. 

Now, I’ve been Action Manning for almost 5 

years and this was one of my most physically 

demanding reviews ever, so if you’re looking 

for something new in 2018 then Brazilian Jiu- 

Jitsu is certainly for you, I know I’ll be back, 

not only will it be great for fitness but you’re 

joining a family. 

Search for Dynamo FightSports BJJ Team on 

Facebook and Instagram, then get yourself 

down to Grange Fitness & performance 

centre, 23 Betts Avenue, Martlesham IP5 3RH 

on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays 6.30 to 

8.30pm and Sunday mornings from 10, tell 

them Action Man sent you. 

Action Man says: you’ll want to give 

BJJ a go, at Dynamo.

This made me think, what does it take to be a 

doggie ring bearer? 

Well, here are my helpful hints and tips if you 

are considering giving your little pooch a very 

important role during your big day! 

MAKE SURE YOUR DOG WON’T CRACK 

UNDER PRESSURE... 

They would have to not be afraid of crowds, and 

at the same time they can’t be bark-y. You don’t 

want them whining to get your attention in the 

middle of the ceremony! I am perfect of course! 

PUT THOSE RINGS WHERE YOUR DOG CAN’T 

EAT THEM... 

It could happen! A small jewellery bag behind 

the bow tie or a ring-bearing cushion tied to your 

dog would be useful. 

PLAY FETCH BEFORE THE WEDDING... 

Make sure you get your dog lots of exercise so 

they’re not all wound up. 

DON’T LET YOUR DOG GO ROGUE... 

Have someone walk them down the aisle on a 

lead.

outfit is going on Instagram... follow me

PRACTICE WALKING YOU PUP IN LARGE 

CROWDS... 

Start taking your dog for walks on crowded 

streets before the wedding. 

GET THAT DOG A BOW TIE… 

My mum is making a whole suit just for me! I will 

look the part! Cue cute picture (right) >
