MAY 2018 

May is my favourite time of year; I love warmer 

weather, being able to do more in the day as the 

nights draw out, and it’s also my birth month! 

This year, in particular, May will be very special 

as I am also celebrating two hen parties before 

my wedding next month. So I want to say a 

special thank you to everyone organising those 

for me. 

This month, I had the pleasure of interviewing 

Nadine Coyle, former Girls Aloud member. We 

had a great chat about her new EP, her passion 

for empowering women and motherhood. Read it 

in full from pages 22-27. 

I was also lucky enough to speak with the very 

talented singer-songwriter Frank Turner, about his 

new tour and album, ‘Be More Kind’. It was great 

to talk about the importance of lyrics; in fact, the 

conversation got pretty deep, much like Frank’s 

songs! You can listen to these interviews at 

www.youtube.com/bouncemagazineuk. 

We have a food and drink special in this edition, 

as we feature some of the regions top food and 

drink suppliers. Don’t miss the wonderful summer

past X Factor winner, Matt Cardle. 

Our review for May took place at Potters Resort in 

Hopton. We were delighted to be invited along to 

enjoy one of the resorts ‘all inclusive drink party 

night’ packages, I have to confess it was a heavy 

weekend, the team and I had so much fun!

Fish Koftas... 

BY AWARD WINNING 

CHEF ABDUS SHAHID 

Prep Time: 

25 mins 

Cook Time: 

40 mins 

Perfect for sharing... 

These Koftas have an intense yet delicate 

flavour, they look great served with an orange 

coloured sauce. 

Method 

1. Bring the milk, cardamom pods, turmeric and 

ground cumin to the boil in a heavy-based pan. 

Poach the fish fillets in this for three minutes 

on either side, drain, discarding the milk, and 

transfer to a mixing bowl. Leave to cool. Now 

remove the cardamom pods and add the potato. 

2. Blend the onion, ginger and green chilli with 

1 tbsp of water to a smooth paste in a liquidiser. 

Add this to the fish mixture along with all the 

other ingredients except the oil. Knead well 

together and form into balls, each the size of a 

ping-pong ball. If the mixture is sticky, moisten 

your hands with water before forming the koftas. 

3. Heat the oil for deep-frying in a deep, heavybased 

pan or wok until it begins to sizzle. Reduce 

the heat and drop the fish balls into the oil a few 

at a time, turning them frequently and frying to 

an even golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper. 

4. Put the koftas into a dish and pour the 

reheated sauce over. Sprinkle with coriander and 

almonds and serve. 

Ingredients 

• 240ml whole milk 

• 4-6 green cardamom pods, lightly crushed 

• 1 black cardamom pod 

• 1 tsp turmeric 

• 1 tsp ground cumin 

• 500g white fish fillets, rinsed and patted dry 

• 1 large potato, cooked and diced 

• 1 onion, roughly chopped 

• 1 tsp root ginger roughly chopped 

• 1 large green chilli 

• 2-3 tbsp chopped coriander leaves, more to serve 

• 1 tsp roasted cumin seeds, coarsely crushed 

• 2 tbsp flaked almonds, toasted, plus more to serve 

• 1 tbsp gram flour 

• Freshly ground black pepper 

• 1 egg, beaten 

• Vegetable oil, to deep-fry

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

about me. I’m Zena (Zee for short), I’m 45, a mother and a grandmother. 

It’s wedding season! 

Whether you’re getting 

married or you’re a 

guest, there is so much 

inspiration out there at the 

moment. 

Pastel pallets are still very 

classic, but they have 

evolved over the years. I’ve 

put together some mood 

boards to give you some 

ideas. 

Of course there’s always a twist to my 

outfit creations and they aren’t always 

for everyone! 

fabulous, so if they are your thing get over 

to the blog where I have 

more mood boards with info 

about where you can buy 

everything from. 

If you are looking for a one 

off gift for the bridal party 

or the bridesmaids then 

get over to *Helen Hird 

Illustrations*. 

I’ve know Helen for 

seven years and have 

seen her go on to grace 

the pages of ‘Vogue’ 

and gather a celebrity 

following. 

I found these shoes online called 

“wedding cake” they are hilariously

really unique. 

My brother gets married this 

month! 

My husband has been kitted out 

by Trotter and Deane in Bury St 

Edmunds and I’ve relied on trusty 

ASOS for my outfit. 

I’ve been searching for the best 

make-up brands that last all day, 

and for older skin like mine. This 

has led me to find a lack of brands 

out there that consider older skin in 

their advertising. 

I love this look, 

pastels are all in this 

wedding season! 

After all it’s easy to make a young 

skin look flawless. So stay tuned!

Keep an eye out for me over

MAY 2018 MAY | 2018 ISSUE | ISSUE #67 | #67 WEDDING 

WeddingAngel 

Overcome pre-wedding nerves... 

BY LISA MARIE SMITH 

Panic At The Altar? 

Wedding anxiety setting in? Not to 

fear I have a few tips to help combat 

those nerves and allow you to revel 

in your big moment... 

Talk to any budding bride or groom 

and one word usually resounds: 

nerves. Ask them how they’re 

feeling and I’ll guarantee, ‘stressed’, 

‘excited’ and ‘nervous’ will pour as 

much from their verbal response as 

it will off their entire aura. Each will 

have their individual anxieties, but 

research reveals that brides appear 

to be taking the brunt, reporting 

an upsurge in panic attacks and 

breakdowns before – and most 

worryingly – on the day itself. So 

here’s a few of my top tips! 

1. It’s OK to feel overwhelmed... 

There’s a huge amount of pressure for everything to go 

perfectly, and if you’re anxious you’ll probably feel that pressure 

even more intensely. 

2. Say a big “yes” to those offers of help... 

If you see deadlines looming but freeze up and find yourself 

unable to meet them, don’t suffer in silence. Turn to a friend 

and say: “Remember when you asked if there was anything you 

could do to help? The answer is a thousand times yes.” 

3. You really don’t need those Mason jars full of glitter... 

I constantly made more work for myself. Buy invitations? 

Nope. I decided to make them, despite once glue-gunning 

myself to an art workbench at school. It took months of stress 

and the end result looked like it was made by a 5-year-old. 

Try to prioritise the fine touches and detail; it all adds up and 

before you know it you’re facing an impossible to-do list. It’s 

perfectly OK to have ordinary place cards or a straightforward 

table plan. 

You’ll still have an amazing day and won’t have wasted weeks 

crying into a pot of calligraphy ink. 

16

WEDDING 

MAY 2018 MAY | 2018 ISSUE | ISSUE #67 | #67 WEDDING 

4. Take time to reassure your partner... 

It’s a good idea to make it clear that 

freaking out about the wedding does 

not mean you’re not super happy about 

getting married. It’s just the same old 

crap you’ve had to deal with for years 

being magnified by the wedding stress. 

You’re both going to feel a bit weird 

at times – it’s a big deal – but let your 

partner know that it doesn’t mean your 

relationship isn’t 100% solid. 

5. It’s OK to not enjoy being the centre 

of attention... 

As an anxious person, being on display 

isn’t really part of your MO, but it’s an 

integral part of any wedding. Selfconsciousness 

might not be something 

you consider until quite close to the day 

itself, but it’s a good idea to plan for it. 

6. It’s fine to be selfish and put yourself 

first... 

You’re going to feel pretty delicate the 

week before the wedding, even if you’ve 

been careful and looked after yourself. 

7. Don’t be afraid to let things go... 

You might feel the only way for things 

to go “perfectly” on the wedding day is 

if you keep a close eye on all of it, but 

that’s actually the best possible way to 

utterly exhaust yourself, which can make 

anxiety worse. 

And after the big day... 

You didn’t let anxiety hold you back, you 

got married, and you’re awesome. It can 

be a scary time for anyone and you did it! 

Until next time...

Ken Norton a Unique 

World Heavyweight 

Champion... 

BY RALPH OATES 

A series of articles which will feature boxing facts 

from both the past to the present... 

Ken Norton was without 

question a fine fighter 

who more than proved his 

worth amongst the top elite 

heavyweights during the time 

period he boxed. Norton hit the 

headlines when he became just 

the second man in the division 

to defeat Muhammad Ali in 

the professional rank’s .(Ali’s 

first defeat came against Joe 

Frazier by way of a 15 round 

points defeat on the 8 March 

1971 when attempting to regain 

his world heavyweight crown). 

In the said 12 round points 

victory over Ali on the 31 March 

1973 Norton won the National 

Association Boxing Federation 

heavyweight title which Ali 

was defending. If that loss 

wasn’t bad enough for Ali he 

also ended the bout with a 

broken jaw. Make no mistake 

no-one expected to see Ali lose 

against Norton. Muhammad 

was expected to win and hence 

go on to secure another tilt at 

the world heavyweight crown. 

However on the night Norton 

didn’t share the ring with Ali 

just to make up the numbers 

he was there to win. 

A return with Ali took place on 

the 10 September 1973, Norton 

was confident of a repeat 

victory over the former world 

champion. Ali however gained 

revenge on this occasion 

wining a 12 round points 

victory over Norton to regain 

his NABF title. 

Apart from that famous 

victory over Ali Norton also 

holds a very unique record 

that of being the only man in 

boxing to hold a version of 

the world heavyweight crown 

without ever winning a title 

bout. How could that be? You 

may very well ask. Truth can 

often be stranger than fiction. 

On the 26th March 1974 

Ken challenged the hard 

punching George Foreman 

for the undisputed title and 

was duly stopped in round 

two of a scheduled 15. The 

second challenge for world 

honours came on the 28 

September 1976 when Norton 

met defending champion 

Muhammad Ali who had by this 

time regained the title .Norton 

pushed Ali hard but at the end 

of the fifteen round contest 

was deemed to have come in 

second losing the decision on 

points. 

On the 5 November 1977 Ken 

met Jimmy Young in a final 

eliminator for the world crown 

and won a 15 round points 

decision. The then reigning 

champion Leon Spinks ignored 

the mandated challenger and 

defended his title against 

Muhammad Ali (whom he 

had previously beaten for the 

championship). The World 

Boxing Council responded by 

stripping their version of the 

title from Spinks and made 

Norton their new champion. 

The fates were not on Ken’s 

side since he hence lost his 

crown in his first defence when 

outpointed over 15 rounds by 

Larry Holmes on the 9 June 

1978. After this defeat Norton’s 

career took a downwards 

spiral with him winning two, 

losing two and drawing one 

of his next five bouts. Ken’s 

final contest took place on 

the 11 may 1981 when he was 

stopped in the first session by 

Gerry Cooney in a bout which 

was never going to go the full 

distance of 10 rounds. Norton 

who died in 2013 aged 70 

years one month and nine days 

old compiled a professional 

fight record of 50 bouts of 

which he won 42, lost seven 

and drew one.

NADINE COYLE 

Bounce Magazine’s Rachel Ducker speaks to Nadine Coyle about her 

time in Girls Aloud, motherhood and her new EP... 

As one fifth of chart-mauling, award-winning, 

expectation-shattering girl band Girls Aloud, 

Nadine Coyle has already played her part in 

helping redefine pop. 

She returned to the music scene late last 

year with a brand new song ‘Go To Work’, 

now Nadine announces the release of a new 

4 track EP and a UK tour, celebrating strong 

women. 

She will also be hitting the road this May for a 

UK and Ireland tour, performing the greatest 

hits of Girls Aloud solo, alongside songs from 

her forthcoming new album. Pop fans should 

rejoice as this tour is set to be the ultimate 

party night out this Spring, seeing Nadine 

perform such legendary 

hits as ‘Sound Of The 

Underground’, ‘Love 

Machine’, ‘Biology’, 

“Something New’ and 

‘The Promise’, alongside 

new Nadine stormers 

such as ‘Go To Work’ 

and ‘Girls On Fire’. 

If each member of the band – who 

sashayed their way through a ten-year, five 

album career – had a role, then Nadine’s was 

The Voice. Often demoing the songs with 

Brian ahead of the other girls during the 

band’s tenure, it’s always been any 

discerning pop fan’s dream for the pair 

to collaborate again on Coyle’s 

solo material. 

The Derry-born singer opens up to Rachel 

Ducker, about motherhood and touches upon 

her time in Girls Aloud. 

R: Hi Nadine, how are you today? 

I’m really good how are you Rachel? 

R: I’m great… thanks for your time, I know 

I don’t have long so I will start with my 

questions! When did you realize you had a 

passion for singing? 

I was really young. I used to sing ‘Saturday 

Night at the Movies’ when I was three years 

old, I even used to sing the ad-libs on it. My 

mummy and daddy were like “what is she 

doing?” A, where did she hear this 

song, people kissing on the back 

seat of the movies, and B where 

did she get all of these ad-libs? 

Very early on, I just loved singing 

and singing songs that I felt 

connected to. My dad was a 

singer in his spare time, he did 

performances and shows, so he got 

me and my younger sister involved. 

It’s just something I’ve always done. 

R: We saw you emerge onto the music scene 

through the TV Show ‘Popstars,’ in 2002, 

which is where Girls Aloud was formed. Does 

it feel like a lifetime ago now? 

It really does? It’s almost like a different world. 

23

MAY 2018 MAY | 2018 ISSUE | #67 ISSUE | #67 NADINE COYLE 

R: I mean, how was it to reach Christmas 

number one with your very first single the 

‘Sound of the Underground’? 

It was incredible; I did not expect that at all, 

even though I knew the song was amazing. 

Yeah it was fine, I wouldn’t say it was 

particularly hard or anything of that nature, 

but as people, there are times when things go 

up and down. There are highs and lows in the 

entertainment industry and that’s just how it 

is. You know what I mean, you just roll with it? 

R: And it still is, I still love it! 

I still love it… I know! I think I am going to do 

that one on tour, there’s just so many songs 

that I want to do on tour, but I can’t do them 

all. Yeah, it was a huge surprise to get to 

Christmas number one. I remember just going 

home and being so exhausted. We had so 

much promo once we were in the band, we 

were just like “urgh”, and I didn’t know how I 

was supposed to feel? 

R: What was it like to be in an all girl band? 

Well, I have two sisters, there’s us three girls, 

and I went to an all girls secondary school 

and I have lots of girlfriends, so for me being 

around girls was what I was used to. I have 

definitely spent a lot of time in my life with 

girls, so it wasn’t anything out of the ordinary 

for me. I think there was 30 girls in my school 

class, so going from 30 girls to 5 was easy! 

R: Its no secret that since the band have 

gone their separate ways that there has 

been lots of things said, not all pleasant, 

has is it hard going through all of that in the 

spotlight? 

No, not at all. I mean, I think its definitely part 

and parcel, its just what happens, journalists 

write things and people make stuff up. You will 

feel like there are times where it’s a personal 

attack, but if you can’t handle it, you should 

probably pick another job! [laughs] 

R: I don’t think I could do it! 

R: I guess it’s like a bad day at work then? 

If you were working in an office there would 

be general office politics. You would then 

tell your friends about it when you go home. 

Whereas when you do something in this 

industry your then the person that people talk 

about in their offices! But I am not in offices 

having to hear what people have to say so… I 

am fine [haha] 

R: So you’ve teamed up again with the bands 

mastermind, Brian Higgins, what can we look 

forward to from here on? 

Yes I have! Oh… you can look forward to lots 

of new music, which is always great, they 

are really supportive. We are doing very soft 

releases and building up a portfolio of songs, 

and then we can work on the directions, 

much like with Girls Aloud, there are so many 

different genres of music. It’s so easy to put 

music out these days so it’s a great place to 

be. 

R: Your tour starts in May, what are you most 

looking forward to about that? 

Yesss! I am most looking forward to having 

the set list nailed down, having the show 

rehearsed, knowing exactly what we are all 

doing and then I think I will be able to get a 

good nights sleep! Until then, I don’t think I 

will sleep properly until May! 

R: You’re also a mum as well now, how does 

that work around your career?

She’s so brilliant, she really, really is! She’s just 

hilariously funny, and we have a great time 

together, so its just a matter of balancing 

me being a mother, and then having to go to 

work, because sometimes mummy’s have to 

work and we can’t all be at home, all of the 

time. You just try your best and try to apply 

yourself to each thing as best you can and 

fingers crossed that it’s all alright? [laughs] 

R: In the next year I hope to be a mum, but 

as a full time editor I am worried… 

Oh wow, are you planning or already 

pregnant? 

R: Well, I have an upcoming wedding in June, 

so we will see what happens after! Do you 

have any advice for working mums? 

Just don’t beat yourself up to much; you’re 

going feel guilty by not spending every single 

second with your child, whether awake or 

asleep. You have to work, its not like the days 

where the man went to work and the woman 

stayed at home and shook him a cocktail at 

the end of the day – those days are long gone. 

I like working, I enjoy working and if you do 

too, you should incorporate that into being 

part of your life and not worry about it too 

much. 

R: I think its tough being a woman… even 

having to change your surname… 

Well you don’t have to [laughs] there’s no law 

against that! 

R: True, I think I’ll keep my surname for 

business purposes only [laughs] I have 

noticed your songs are so empowering and 

embrace strong women – is that something 

you will continue to do? 

Yes! Absolutely I am all about that. I am one 

of three sisters as I said earlier I have lots 

of girlfriends. I am so passionate about it, 

you cannot tell me that we are inadequate 

or not as good, it’s the complete opposite 

and we have some amazing strengths. There 

is nothing that we cannot achieve and I will 

challenge anyone who dares to disagree!

FEATURE 

R: Well said I completely agree. So are you back from 

the states full time now? Is it nice to be back? 

do for the next series and how we can 

make it work. 

I love being back in the UK, I really do. I mean, I have 

the restaurant in the states and I go back and tour, 

which is always great. I used to go back and forth more 

before I had Anaíya, but now its just not feasible with 

the time zones. I was constantly running her between 

here, LA and New York and it was confusing her eating 

times and routine. It was better to just try and limit it. 

R: I guess some stability it probably quite nice right 

now after all that? 

Yes! It is! Having Anaíya forced me to be just 

comfortable, I had no stability at all since the age of 17, 

now I am like, I have a bern I have to have a routine, so 

its been very nice. 

R: There’s been talks of you starring in the Channel 4 

comedy Derry Girls… any truth in those rumours? 

Yes! There absolutely is! I have been talking to the 

writer so we are just trying to figure out what we can 

R: I bet it will be nice to be back in 

Ireland? 

I love Ireland, it still is and always will 

be home. It’s so easy to get there from 

London. I am in Ireland regularly; I am 

never to far away [laughs]perspective, 

it’s given me strength and also with 

the physical side of what we do, it’s 

helped me. 

R: Any plans for another album? 

Definitely, I mean this is my 15 th year, 

and I hope that I can continue for 

another 16 years! That would be great! 

R: Well thanks so much for your 

time Nadine and best of luck with 

everything to come. 

You too and good luck with your

Exam Stress 

Taking an exam or test, be it at 

work, school or university can be 

quite daunting. 

It’s been few years since my university days, 

but I still remember the stress and anxiety I had 

before taking my exams. Don’t get me wrong, 

a little stress and anxiety before an exam or test 

can be a good thing because it can help keep 

you focused and motivated to do the work that 

needs to be done. But too much can lead to 

feeling overwhelmed, panicked and potentially 

underachieving in the exam. 

So here are a few tips to help you manage any 

stress or anxiety you may have relating to any 

work, school or university exams or assessments: 

BREATHING: A good breathing technique like 

7/11 (see my blog post ‘How to Deal with Anxiety’ 

for further details) is worth its weight in gold 

when it comes to helping you relax because it 

induces the bodies relaxation response and it’s so 

discreet, it can be done almost anywhere. 

REGULAR BREAKS: Take regular breaks, 

you wont be as efficient if you revise or work for 

hours on end. 

Generally, studying in roughlyone hour blocks 

is suggested to be the most effective way of 

working, then take a break. 

EXERCISE REGULARLY: Exercising releases 

various important hormones, such as serotonin, 

dopamine and norepinephrine, all of which 

contribute towards helping you stay focused, 

keeping your energy levels and mood up, and 

keeping your stress levels down. 

SLEEP: The benefits of getting a good quality 

night’s sleep are numerous, but not getting 

enough sleep can have a negative effect on your 

memory as well as increase your stress levels, so 

try and avoid those ‘all nighters’ and get a good 

nights sleep. 

REMEMBER: Exam success isn’t just about 

being knowledgeable and knowing the right 

material; your state of mind also plays a big part. 

Having the ability to stay calm, relaxed, confident 

and focused can all play a vital role in helping you 

achieve your full potential.

Improves digestion 

Helps relieve the symptoms of menopause 

Relieves backache 

Cautions:

How to try the pose: 

1. Stand in Tadasana. With an exhalation, step

Raise your arms parallel to the floor and reach 

them actively out to the sides, shoulder blades 

wide, palms down. 

2. Turn your left foot in slightly to the right and 

your right foot out to the right 90 degrees. 

Align the right heel with the left heel. Firm

the two sides equally long. Let the left hip 

come slightly forward and lengthen the 

tailbone toward the back heel. 

4. Rest your right hand on your shin, ankle, or 

the floor outside your right foot, whatever is 

possible without distorting the sides of the

back heel into the floor and reaching the top 

arm toward the ceiling. Reverse the feet and 

repeat for the same length of time to the left.

Brace your back heel or the back of your torso 

against a wall if you feel unsteady in the pose.

Summer 

bodies 

GET READY FOR SUMMER - BY BEN HUTTON 

So the sun has finally come out after a 

long, wet and miserable winter and I have 

noticed an increasing number of people 

out running and cycling. 

Evenings are getting lighter, our moods are improving 

and we all want to catch a little bit of sun, so now is 

the perfect time to get active outdoors! 

May is ‘National Walking Month’, and if you live a 

relatively sedentary life, walking is the perfect place 

to start. You could perhaps walk to work, or if that’s 

not an option, you could park a little further away 

than normal. You could take the stairs rather than the 

escalators, or you could walk your dog a little more. 

Studies have proved two things, 1. Exercise is improves 

our mood through release of ‘feel good’ endorphins, 

and obviously our health for a number of reasons and 

2. Controlled sun exposure improves our mood, as 

well as our health. So why not combine the two? 

Personally I have just signed up to join a Canicross 

club, which is a running club for owners and their four 

legged friends! I’m using this to kick-start my running 

season, as well as meet new people and socialise my 

dog a little more. 

There are a number of social clubs you could get 

involved with over summer, like boot camps, village 

cycle clubs and park runs. Park runs are a great way to 

get out in a welcoming environment and run or walk 

at your own pace with a friendly group of locals! 

A little added bonus, is you’ll burn more calories when 

it’s hot, but remember to stay hydrated and always 

listen to your body, if you feel like it’s too much then 

take a rest, it is easy to over work during summer. 

Move More. Stay Hydrated. Have Fun.

ingredients in whisky, barley and 

water and we have them both.

The Wines 

of Romania and 

Bulgaria 

Both of these countries have been making wine for 

millennia. Classed as East European. 

BY ‘WINE BUFF’ FRED FISHER 

Imports to the UK have varied from high to low, 

brought about by the stiff competition from 

New World, such as countries like Australia, New 

Zealand and Chile, and have suffered as a result. 

They are now producing more wine with 

affordable prices especially compared with other 

European countries like France, Germany and 

Spain. 

Romania... 

One of the oldest wine producing regions with 

viticulture dating back more than 6000 years. 

Being close to the Black Sea the country has a 

suitable climate, geography and soils to produce 

good quality wine. Up to the phylloxera crisis in 

the 1880’s each region had its own grapes that 

provided generic wine. Wine had become the 

traditional Romanian beverage. An improvement 

in its fortunes came about by introducing French 

grape varieties while retaining many of their 

indigenous varieties. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, 

Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc 

being the main ones. Currently Romania has 

187,000 hectares of vines which ranks it about 

sixth in Europe and thirteenth in the world. 

Main Regions.. 

Can be seen as 8 distinct zones... 

Transylvania - A high central region producing 

46

FOOD & DRINK 

MAY 2018 MAY | ISSUE 2018 #67 | ISSUE | FOOD #67 & DRINK 

mainly white wines, the most important being 

Tirnave, wines similar to Mosel in Germany. 

Crisana - To the west and influenced by the 

Adriatic producing crisp white wines. 

blight in the late 1880’s affected it and led to a lot 

of replanting. The French were consulted about 

what to replant. It was agreed that several local 

varieties such as the red Mavrud, Pamid, Gamza 

(Kadarka) and white Miskat (Muscat) be retained. 

Silvania - North of Transylvania and moderate 

climate. 

Moldavia - Cotnari one of the oldest regions. 

Famous for sweet wines. 

Muntenia - North of Bucharest with the area 

called Dealul Mare, this provides good red wines 

using French varieties. 

Oltenia - West of Bucharest and dating from 

Roman times. The Sauvignon Blanc 

does well here. 

Banat - Near Serbia and the 

Danube it has a mixture of local 

grapes and imported ones. 

Dobrudja - Near the Black Sea 

with Murfatler being the most 

important part. Many French 

varieties making good wine as well 

as a supply of table grapes. 

Indigenous grapes - Many are still used mainly 

Feteasca, Rkatsiteli and Grasa among many 

others. 

Bulgaria... 

Wine has been made in Bulgaria for at least 3000 

years. It was probably mostly sweet wine and 

sold to the Greeks. Even during the crusades it 

was spared because of its wine. The phylloxera 

The Gamay Noir and Syrah from France were also 

planted. The Bulgarian Wine Institute was formed 

in Pleven in 1902. The 20’s and 30’s saw the 

growth co-operatives but with Communist rule in 

the 60’s and 70’s much export wine was 

mass produced creating a plonk regime. 

In 1989 with the fall of communism 

privatisation ensued leading to better quality 

wine production. 

Main Regions... 

There are 5 viticultural Regions... 

The Danubian Plain - Good conditions 

for Muscat, Cabernet Sauvignon, 

Merlot, Chardonnay, Pamid and the 

Gamza. 

Black Sea - Riesling, Muscat, 

Sauvignon Blanc and Gewurztraminer 

are grown here. 

Rose Valley - The Sungurlare Valley is famous 

for a red Misket grape variety. 

Thracian Lowland - A temperate climate and 

adequate rainfall produce good red wine from 

Mavrud, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Muscat and 

Pamid grapes. 

Struma River Valley - In the South West. From 

the historical region of Macedonia with some 

local grapes and Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. 

Conclusions... 

Give them both a try as they historically, have been in the top league of wine producers. 

Especially look for some of the local grape varieties such as Gamza, Feteasca, Mavrud and 

Rkatsiteli. I have tasted some fine Pinot Noir as well.

A POTTERS PARTY 

Bounce Magazine were excited to be invited to one of the All

When we arrived at dinner in the main restaurant there were 

already two bottles of wine waiting for us, a sign of things to

menu including a ‘Ricotta Tortellini’ and ‘Sweet 

Potato Curry’ followed by dessert. 

Take That, taking us through the 80s, 90s and 

noughties, we simply had to join in and dance, and 

that we did until the early hours of the morning. 

Our other guests enjoyed Sticky Ribs and a 

Carvary, which was self-service. 

When dining, you can never get lost as you 

have your own dedicated tables. We all know as 

creatures of habit it is nice to be in the same spot, 

so for us this was a bonus! 

Once worn out, on hand to help us sober, up was 

a wonderful Chilli, served in the Terrace. Much 

needed! 

As we arose with cloudy heads, the next day we 

wandered over to breakfast and discussed the day 

ahead. 

The highlight of our visit had to be the Potters 

Theatre Company. 

The quality of the acts were fabulous, from the 

Michael Jackson impersonator to Boy George and 

Over Eggs Benedict and a strong coffee, we 

decided our next stop was riffle shooting. 

Little did the staff member know, one of our 

team was a trained shooter, and of course he 

shot every bullseye on the target!

The beauty of being on a Resort such as Potters 

means that you have the independence to create 

your own fun as well as partaking in planned 

activities. 

So whilst still in full competition mode, we headed 

over for a short session of mini golf. I think it 

is safe to say we weren’t quite as good at this 

activity! 

There is never a dull moment at this resort, the 

guests are at the heart of it, we loved taking 

part in the mid-morning quiz and only got three 

questions wrong! 

To make up for a heavy night, we hit the Palms 

Health & Fitness centre on site for a quick 

lunchtime workout. A full fitness suite is available 

along with a pool, whirlpool, sauna and steam 

room. 

After a shower and a short chill out in the 

bungalow, I then stopped at the Aphrodite Beauty 

Studio for a treat little treat and had a 30 minute 

back, shoulder and neck massage. 

My therapist Anna was lovely, very friendly and 

left me feeling super relaxed. 

Before dinner we went for a walk on the beach, 

which is situated right on the edge of the resort. 

On our second night we booked in to The Black 

Rock Grill. 

It’s a fixed price menu where you get to cook your 

own food on your very own volcanic ‘Hot Rock’.

Again, for the veggies, Halloumi was served

Kangaroo! 

Overall our experience at Potters was a fun 

Perfect for catching up with friends, hen/stag

Dirty 

Martini 

An all time classic… 

The dirty secret behind the Dirty Martini? A 

dash of olive brine brings a hint of 

umami to the classic Martini. 

Method 

1. Pour the vodka, dry vermouth and 

olive brine into a cocktail shaker with a 

handful of ice and shake well. 

2. Rub the rim of a martini glass with 

the wedge of lemon. 

Ingredients 

• 70ml/2fl oz vodka or gin 

• 1 tbsp dry vermouth 

• 2 tbsp olive brine 

• 1 wedge of lemon 

• 1 green olive 

3. Strain the contents of the cocktail 

shaker into the glass and add the olive. 

Don’t forget... 

Have it shaken not stirred, James bond 

was right... Stirring creates a cold, taut 

surface free from ice shards. Shaking is 

supposedly good to add antioxidants.

FRANK TURNER 

Bounce Magazine’s Rachel Ducker speaks to singer songwriter, 

Frank Turner, about his new album and tour... 

A singular artist and songwriter of 

considerable talent, Frank Turner is able to sell 

out arena tours, Alexandra Palace and four 

consecutive nights at the Roundhouse but still 

walk down Holloway Road untroubled. 

Turner recently announced the Be More Kind 

World Tour, which will begin in April, with 

its first leg playing to over 200,000 people 

across the UK, the USA, Europe, Canada, 

Australia and New Zealand, taking them 

through to Christmas. 

The first batch of 

announcements covers 

120 dates. 

Rachel Ducker catches 

up with Frank to find out 

more about the singer 

songwriter and his 

upcoming tour. 

R: Hi Frank, how’s it 

going? 

I’m great thanks! 

R: I would love to know a little more about 

your background before you got on the 

music scene and how you first started 

playing music? 

Well, I was raised in Hampshire by my folks, 

and had a relatively middle class upbringing. 

My parents are quite conservative so their 

experience of music was generally classical 

music and church music, which never did 

much for me. I got into music around 10 years 

old and I was at a mates house, and I will 

confess to the fact we were playing games, 

and he had an Iron Maiden poster on his wall, 

which I thought was very cool. My friend told 

me it was a band and it never really occurred 

to me that music could be that cool. So I ran 

off and I got a copy of ‘Killers’ by Iron Maiden 

on cassette and since that day I have not 

looked back! It was a light switch day, do you 

know what I mean? 

R: Touching on your education, 

is it true you went to school with 

Prince William at Eaton? 

I was there on a scholarship, yes. 

I took an exam when I was a kid, I 

can’t tell you what the exam was 

about, but I did it and passed. I 

am grateful for the education that 

I received but felt extremely out 

of place socially there. It was all a 

very long time ago, I am 36 now so 

its not something that crosses my 

mind all of the time. 

R: Your real name is actually Francis, how did 

you become Frank? 

Somebody at school one day called me 

Frank and given the fact the other kids at 

school used to beat me up for having a ‘girls 

name’, it was kind of an escape from that, so 

I went along with it. At the time I was quite 

impressed about being referred to as Frank! 

R: Does your mum still call you Francis? 

Oh she certainly does! Particularly if I have 

69


misbehaved! [laughs] 

R: You were in a band previously called 

Million Dead, do you miss being a band or 

are you happy solo? 

I am happy in a band when it’s a band. I was 

really proud of the things we did in that band; 

the problem was that the wheels fell off it 

happened in a pretty undignified way. We 

fell out with each other and forgot how to be 

friends and at the end, I felt let down by the 

other people, as I wanted to do it forever and 

ever! In retrospect now, I can accept my role at 

the end of the band as much as anyone else’s, 

one of the reasons I went solo is because 

I didn’t want to have to depend on other 

people, which meant I wasn’t vulnerable to 

other peoples decisions. 

R: I was introduced to your music by my 

partner a few years ago and when I first 

listened to a few of the tracks the lyrics 

really got to me! 

Thank you! 

R: They make me quite teary, in particularly 

‘Tell Tale Signs’ and ‘Plain Sailing Weather’, 

where do you draw inspiration for in your 

lyrics? 

Lyrics just kind of show up in my head, I was 

always quite literate. With these songs, I was 

trying to write in the most raw and honest 

fashion I could and that was helped and 

inspired by the fact that the major relationship 

in my life at the point had fallen apart, so I 

was writing about myself and my own short 

comings. 

are all almost all written from the point of view 

of the victim. It was entirely my fault that the 

relationship fell apart and I thought it would 

be interesting to try and write that record as 

at the time I couldn’t see anyone else who had 

done that? 

R: Your renowned for your honest, hard 

hitting words, when writing how do you hope 

people to interpret what you are trying to 

put out there? 

I think the interpretation is one of the most 

interesting parts, but I also think that what 

makes it interesting is that its not driven by 

me. Whatever other people take away from 

it is their affair and I find it interesting, but I 

can’t direct that. When people connect with 

songs that are that raw and that personal it is 

almost a relief, as you put your soul out there. 

If somebody else says, “Yeah, I get it man” 

that feels pretty good. In essence I feel that 

you have to write for yourself, otherwise it 

would be dishonest. 

R: I hope you don’t mind me saying but your 

relation a collection of your greatest hits… 

you seem very young to be doing that! 

[laughs] 

R: Either you’ve had an amazing career and 

you have loads of material or you’re older 

than you say you are! 

[laughs] Well I am 36 years old, I am not a 

man that has a stage age, I have known people 

over the years who have had stage ages and I 

am still laughing about it now, because really 

who gives a toss! 

R: Sorry to hear you had such a rubbish time 

Frank, as we can definitely here that through 

the lyrics… 

Haha! Actually the one thing about this record 

was I was trying to write a break up song from 

the point of view of the bad guy. There are 

lots of break up records in the world and they 

R: Your 8th studio album is to be released 

in May ‘Be More Kind’ can you tell us more 

about this? Will it be any different from your 

past material or something different? 

Part of the reason that we did ‘Songbook’ 

my greatest hits, before Christmas is that I 

wanted to draw a bit of a line. Its an attempt 

70

FEATURE 


to get out of my comfort zone and 

do something I haven’t done before 

musically, so I am experimenting with 

a lot of new approaches, different 

technology, I am thinking a lot more 

about soul music and pop music than 

I have before. It’s definitely an attempt 

to not repeat myself, shall we say? am 

still laughing about it now, because 

really who gives a toss! 

R: You embark on your mammoth 

‘Be More Kind Tour’ stopping by us 

in Cambridge in April and Norwich 

in May what can we expect from the 

show? 

Participatory rock and roll explosion 

shall we say, we are obviously going to 

be playing quite a lot of new material. 

I have always tried to include old 

material in my sets as well; I don’t 

want to be one of those bands that 

stop playing the old songs. 

R: What has been the biggest 

moment of your career so far? 

The highlight for me is that I have a 

career still in my late thirties, when I 

was a kid I told everyone I was going 

to do this and everybody laughed… so 

f*ck them! 

R: What’s the secret to your 

longevity? 

Hahaha! I like to think I have been 

true to my artistic instincts and also 

blessed with a creative head, I get 

bored very easily and I like to be 

active, so I find myself in a creative 

form of ADHD. 

R: Well thanks for your time Frank we 

will see you in Norwich! 

Well thank you, its been a Pleasure.

Tailor and Made’s guide to camping for softies... 

Tailor and Made’s founder Tracey Strand guides us 

through her top camping ideas... 

ferry ride away and Jersey has some of the best 

beaches in Great Britain, three Michelin starred 

restaurants and four golf courses. 

Gerald Durrell opened a wildlife park on Jersey 

and now you can stay within the 32 acres in a 

luxury glamping pod with free entry into the park. 

Your pod has a double bedroom and you can book 

a Tipi for your children to be set next door. You 

have a bathroom pod, with shower and wc and a 

small kitchen. 

There’s no need to load the car up with equipment 

or be uncomfortable on a holiday under canvas! 

I would never have considered a holiday ‘under 

canvas’ until I discovered the joys of camping for 

softies. 

Camping is made easy with pre-erected tents and 

fully equipped with everything you need to enjoy a 

fantastic holiday in the great outdoors: 

Comfortable beds with pillows and duvets/ 

blankets, shared kitchen zone with fridge/fridgefreezer 

and gas hob, outdoor furniture, BBQ areas, 

electric light and sockets and bathroom facilities. 

The Channel Islands are only a short flight or

Storage 

SOLUTIONS 

I don’t know about you, but I 

have too much stuff. 

BY RUBY REED 

Work related, 

relationship related 

or whatever else. A 

recovery session is 

what we are after. 

Reasons ranging from ‘I’m sure 

that will come in handy one 

day’ to ‘That could definitely 

come back in style...’ 

I’m not exactly one to have a 

monthly clear out. But I moved 

to a new house last month 

and it seemed like the perfect 

opportunity to access the 

situation! 

After deciding what was being left behind and what 

was coming on the new adventure- it was time to think 

of some savvy storage techniques. 

Shoe Bins... 

Don’t panic, this has nothing to do with throwing away 

shoes- PHEW. No, quite the opposite. 

This is just your very own treasure chest of shoes. 

Shoe racks have always been a classic option, but a 

shoe bin means they don’t have to be on display, for 

example if you didn’t want shoes as ornaments in your 

hallway. 

Replace the rack with a stylish chest. You’ll also find 

you can fit a lot more pairs in. Obviously the size of the 

chest is up to you.

Hidden Hooks... 

For me, this has become 

a little bit of an obsession. 

However, you don’t have to 

go quite as far as a hook on 

the back of each door. 

Self-adhesive hooks are 

very handy to place on 

the inside of wardrobe 

doors, airing cupboards, 

cupboards under the stairs 

or kitchen cupboards. 

Whether your hanging up 

another jacket or a tea 

towel the extra place is 

helpful. The little hooks cost 

just a few pounds. 

Under the Bed... 

This doesn’t mean just shove it under the 

bed… out of sight out of mind? Nope. A 

step up from this is what I like to call my 

under bed filing system. 

I have some large plastic storage boxesnot 

at all expensive, that help me out when 

it comes to seasonal rotation of clothes. 

For example, from September last year to 

now, I didn’t have much use for my summer 

dress collection. 

So instead of leaving them hung up in my 

wardrobe, taking up space, they have been 

safely rolled up and stored under the beds 

in the boxes. Ready for me to pull out any 

day now and replace them with my winter 

coats- yay! 

I always have found the minimalist trend a 

hard one to stick too, but clever storage is 

a step in the right direction!

MAY 2018 MAY | ISSUE 2018 | #67 ISSUE | #67 HISTORY 

The First Pedestrianised 

Shopping Street 

The first shopping street 

to be pedestrianised in 

the UK took place on 17 

July 1967. 

Norwich was chosen 

because of the ‘Traffic in 

Towns’ report, which had 

been produced by Sir Colin 

Buchanan for the Ministry of 

Transport in 1963. Originally 

three cities were looked at 

but Norwich came out on 

top by remaining a historical 

area with a reduced access 

for cars. 

To understand how and why 

London Street was chosen 

we have to go back to 1964 

when the Street closed for 

six weeks because of a sewer 

collapse. A majority of shop 

owners were concerned 

that their businesses would 

suffer, but in fact it had the 

opposite and sales were up. 

A year later business owners 

voted 2:1 in favour of parts 

of the street being closed 

between 9am to 6pm. During 

the 1700s when the street 

was known as Cockey Lane 

problems with pedestrians 

was a daily problem with my 

injuries caused by people 

and horses. The Watch 

Committee stated that the 

good people of Norwich 

would not accept an area 

where vehicles would not be 

permitted. 

After two members of the 

Traffic and Town Planning 

Committee visited four 

European Cities a report 

called ‘Foot Streets in Four 

Cities’ was produced and 

stated that there should be a 

three-month period to make 

the area vehicle free, but 

there were many objections 

but it did not stop the trial 

period taking place and the 

Lord Mayor tied a white 

ribbon at the south end of 

the street to state that no 

further vehicles could gain 

entrance and the start of the 

pedestrian area. 

All complaints soon 

disappeared as people were 

soon seen to be enjoying 

sitting outside cafés drinking 

hot drinks on a street that 

once thundered with the 

sound of traffic. 

Other routes had to be taken 

for drivers and nearby Lower 

Goat Lane and Dove Street 

did report that there was 

far more traffic than before 

and in June 1968 Lower Goat 

Lane joined London Street 

in being Pedestrianised and 

Dover Street became opened 

at certain times. 

Parliamentary Secretary at 

the Ministry of Housing Lord 

Kennet hailed the scheme 

a success and before the 

end of 1967 Perth, Australia 

adopted the London 

Street idea, which became 

permanent in 1968. 

The first three years of the 

scheme showed that there 

had been an increase of 

45% of pedestrians visiting 

and it paved the way for 

many streets in the UK to 

adopt the scheme and it was 

featured in the 1968 Rank 

film ‘Look at Life’. 

Since 1969 and continuing 

today, Central Area Traffic 

Plan have been working to 

remove traffic from all of the 

City of Norwich.

Blink XT Camera 

BY LUCY JONES 

Going on a summer 

holiday, but worried 

about leaving your home 

unprotected, well I have 

the perfect solution... 

Blink’s not new, I tested their indoor security 

camera last year. What is new is the Blink XT, an 

indoor/outdoor IP65 rated version of their popular 

wire-free camera. 

Great for inside or outdoors, night or day, Blink XT 

is their latest wire-free security camera and can be 

intergrated with other systems. 

Blink XT is a Blink Clone. Well, except for this...FHD 

video! That’s right, where Blink original records in 

720p, Blink XT records in 

1080p. Like the original 

camera, Blink XT uses 

a static image position 

which it monitors using 

a 110-degree field of 

view. 

What makes Blink special is its ability to run 

on a battery for up to two years. In the camera 

industry, that’s an amazing feat. 

If you own a current Blink system, you will be 

happy to know that Blink XT is compatible with 

your current Sync module. 

From a home security perspective, this crosscompatibility 

is important as one Sync can 

support ten cameras, including a mix of XTs and 

the original version. If you own a current Blink 

80

FOOD & DRINK 


system, you’ll be unhappy to know that there is a 

new Sync Module on the way and it’s way better. 

SO, WHAT DID I THINK... 

Whilst away on a recent trip out of the UK, I 

armed my cameras around the house. 

I was so impressed with the quality of image and 

the fact you can also hear sound. 

In fact, the highlight of my time away was 

listening to my mother chat with my cats, she 

didn’t realise they could pick up the sound! 

I felt safe to leave my home in the knowledge I 

could check in at any point. 

A big thumbs up to Blink’s new camera on the 

block.

May QUEEN 

This month, I am dedicating my column to my late Nana, 

as when she was young, she was the May Queen. … 

She loved reading my articles, she was my 

Queen and my best friend and she always 

will be! She made me feel like a Queen, so 

to all of my readers make sure you always 

be your own Queen! Treat yourself. 

Forget April showers, its May… 

What’s more perfect than 

Dior’s 2018 summer range 

with their blue eye shadow 

pallet for those cooler 

rainy days and their burnt 

oranges/bronze eye shadow 

pallets for if you’re soaking up 

the sun. 

A great compliment to the ‘golden look’ 

is a nice glossy lip. I love Chanel’s Rouge 

Coco Gloss, with its moisturizing and nonsticky 

texture; it melts into your lips. Try 

‘726 Icing’ for a clear gloss with a hint of 

pink. Beautiful! You could also pair Clarins 

Lip Oil in ‘Candy’. If you suffer from those 

dreaded dark circles under your eyes 

try ‘Illamasquas’ a brand new skin base 

concealer pen. Apply straight from the pen, 

its metal tip has a cooling effect, which 

reduces any puffiness. 

As a May queen you should always have 

the best products and of course be 

surrounded by flowers. My Nana 

always had flowers all over her 

house, very apt for a May Queen. 

Combining the two and adding 

a touch of vintage, Rosina’s 

Lotions and Potions Glorious 

Rose Cleansing Milk is an all time 

favourite of mine. Not only can you 

smell the fresh real roses, it contains 

Aloe Vera and Sunflower Oil.

booking you can find

Time to Try CACI at SK... 

Have you heard of CACI? 

It’s been in the press a lot lately, coveted by 

celebrities, praised by experts and, available 

at SK. 

The world acclaimed CACI non-surgical facelift 

system delivers visible and corrective results 

without the need for surgery or invasive 

procedures. The dramatic results achieved 

using these exclusive technologies has created 

a huge demand for CACI treatments. SK 

uses the CACI Ultimate system, the very first 

treatment system to combine; Microcurrent, 

Facial Toning, Crystal Free Orbital 

Microdermabrasion and, LED 

Light Therapy Photo Stimulation. 

SK offers the fantastic Hydratone 

Facial and now retails the Hydro 

Mask. Clients can use this up to 

two times at home, whilst storing 

it in the fridge in-between uses. 

Hydratone combines active 

microcurrent rollers with a 

unique, electrically conductive silicon gel mask, 

infused with powerful hydrating properties 

such as collagen, hyaluronic acid and rose 

water. The rollers gently massage the face 

causing the mask to become electrically 

charged so that the whole face is bathed with 

rejuvenating energy.The energy delivered 

by the rollers recharges and replenishes the 

bio-electrical energy within the facial muscles, 

restoring tone and firmness. The energy 

generated also drives the hydrating actives 

contained within the gel mask, deep into 

the skin tissue. The gel mask has a dramatic 

softening action, which helps to plump out and 

smooth deep lines and wrinkles. Perfect for 

brides to be. 

For those looking for a body treatment, then 

the Leg and Bum Lift is exceptional. This is a 

targeted body treatment which firms and tones 

the buttock and thigh area, helping to sculpt 

and contour. A visible firmer and more defined 

appearance is apparent immediately after the 

treatment. Perfect for a special occasion or 

holiday. 

Want to target a specific area such as 

the jaw and jowl? The CACI Jowl Lift 

has been developed to specifically 

target muscle laxity around the 

jawline which can cause drooping 

jowls and loose skin. This treatment is 

specially designed to lift and firm the 

muscles and refine facial contours to 

give a firmer, more toned appearance. 

The list is extensive, with most concerns 

catered for such as CACI Eye Revive, CACI 

Wrinkle Revolution, CACI Blemish Fix 

Treatment, CACI Lip Treatment, CACI Acne 

Treatment, CACI Scarring/Stretch Marks and 

targeted body treatments such as stomach, 

bust and hands.

Psoriasis 

One of the most popular questions we’re asked is 

‘how to I get rid of my Psoriasis?’ 

Psoriasis is a skin condition marked by red, itchy, 

scaly patches. It’s technically the over duplication 

of cells. However it can be so much more to many 

people and can affect their self confidence. 

Unfortunately there is no miracle cure but there 

are lots of natural ways that can help you manage 

the condition and significantly reduce the 

appearance of Psoriasis, hopefully to a point where 

you don’t even notice it. 

Types of Psoriasis... 

There are many different types of Psoriasis 

including Guttate, Inverse, Pustular, Erythrodermic, 

Psoriatic arthritis and Plaque Psoriasis which is 

the most common. It usually appears as red or 

pink plaques of raised, thick, scaly skin. However 

it can also appear as small flat bumps. It doesn’t 

sound pleasant I know and can be painful and 

uncomfortable in many cases. 

Most commonly affecting the skin on the elbows, 

knees, and scalp, although it can appear anywhere 

on the body. I’ve often had small patches on my 

eyebrows as it tends to appear in areas with less 

flesh. 

Do you have Psoriasis?... 

The obvious choice when you find unusual 

patches on your skin is to visit the doctors and 

we absolutely advise you to get a professional 

diagnosis. However don’t feel that a prescription 

is your only option as the creams offered can 

be effective for a short time but are often filled 

with steroids which will actually thin the skin, 

90

HAIR & BEAUTY 


potentially causing more problems. There are in fact many 

natural products and ingredients that can help just as well 

and often, dare I say it, better! 

Things to consider... 

There are lots of ways you can improve your skin and it’s 

good start with the basics. We often overlook the products 

we wash with daily; shower gel, bubble bath, shampoo, 

hand wash. All of which may contain SLS (Sodium Laureth 

Sulfate) which is a foaming agent often found in cleaning 

products and detergents but frequently found in our 

cleansing toiletries in quite large quantities. 

This chemical is known for drying out the skin and can 

irritate Psoriasis. Try to choose a natural option - I opt for 

the Childs Farm range - don’t be fooled that it’s just for kids 

- us adults can use it too and it’s super mild and nourishing 

for your skin. 

Moisturising your skin is very important when you have 

Psoriasis creams are great but do consider mild pure oils 

such as Argan Oil. It’s repairing benefits are unrivaled, 

packed full of nutrients including Omegas 3,6 and 9, it 

actually has the highest content of Vitamin E for an oil in 

the known world. 

It works by balancing out the skin and encouraging it to 

repair itself which can reduces the over duplication of cells, 

caused by Psoriasis, in many cases. 

How I manage my Psoriasis?... 

I know that my body gets used to just 

one set of products so I do mix it up. I use 

the Childs Farm hair and body wash or an 

avocado hard soap. Avocado is amazing for 

Psoriasis, even eating it will help heal your 

body from the inside. I regularly moisturise 

with Argan Oil too - it’s perfect for all areas 

of my body including my scalp. 

Stress can be a big factor in the severity of 

a Psoriasis flare up so I try to ensure I take 

lots of breaks to recharge my batteries. 

When I’m run down by body shows me. 

I know my Psoriasis will never be totally 

gone but by making different choices 

it’s now hardly noticeable on my skin. It’s 

important to remember the products that 

work for me may not be right for you but 

the greatest piece of advice I could give is 

to go natural and chemical free with your 

skincare choices. It’s the best thing I ever 

did. 

All these products can be found at Funky 

Skincare. Please do feel free to contact me 

if you would like one-to-one advice. I’m 

happy to share my experiences.

INSPIRING 

GARDENS 

With warmer weather finally here, 

we can start contemplating long 

lazy summer days spent outside. 

Gardens bursting back into life after a dull winter can 

really lift our spirits and with that in mind, a little bit 

of effort now, or even a complete garden overhaul 

will pay dividends right through the coming months. 

102


2. At this stage it’s useful to decide on the 

style that you want your garden to reflect; 

whether rustic or modern for example, and 

work everything around achieving your 

finished ‘look’ from planting decisions to 

materials. 

3. Deal with the hard landscaping elements 

first. Deciding on a materials palette is helpful 

so that the garden ends up looking unified, 

especially if you are working in stages. 

4. Choose planting that ties in with your 

chosen style and draw out planting plans. 

Many garden designers are happy to jump in 

at this stage to recommend planting if you 

are unsure. Try to avoid going to the garden 

centre with nothing in mind and just buying 

whatever is in flower. Clients often come 

unstuck because they don’t look at fullygrown 

sizes. 

Award winning landscaping expert, 

Mark Richardson of Stewart Landscape 

Construction, advises as much time spent 

planning as possible. He says, “really 

understanding what you want and where 

are the key components to a successful 

redesign. Any changes during construction 

can be disproportionately costly and so for 

larger projects, I always recommend using 

a professional garden designer as well as a 

proper landscaper.” 

MARK HAS LISTED HIS TOP TIPS FOR 

CREATING THE PERFECT GARDEN: 

1. First, it is important to understand your 

outside space holistically. For a complete 

update, you will need a garden survey plan 

so that the whole garden is visible. Work out 

where the sunny spots are. 

Mark’s passion for delivering beautiful gardens 

can be seen in his projects all over East Anglia 

as well as in his high-end portfolio of work 

in London. This year, Mark’s company will 

be putting in their fourth garden at the RHS 

Chelsea Flower Show, with a Trailfinderssponsored 

design from Jonathan Snow 

showcasing a South African winelands 

inspired garden that looks set to wow show 

visitors with it’s evocative design on Main 

Avenue. Having spent days ‘mocking-up’ 

the mountain boulders in the stoneyard 

in Glasgow – a large scale version of rock 

Jenga, to finding ways of singeing plants 

to recreate the post-bush fired indigenous 

fynbos landscape, Mark is looking forward to 

the complex business of installing the show 

garden in a few short days. 

Fingers crossed for that elusive ‘Main Avenue’ 

Chelsea Gold medal! Follow their progress on 

their website or social media.

SUMMER IS ON IT’S WAY 

BY KATE LINES 

Kates Top Tip for May: Plant out 

cannas and dahlias 

As bulbs fade and herbaceous 

borders grow in leaps and bounds, 

it is now clear that summer is 

approaching. 

Sowing and planting out bedding can begin, 

depending on regional weather variations, and you 

can take softwood cuttings. 

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

regime, as the lawn will be loving the warmer 

temperatures this month brings. 

Flowers 

Tubs can be planted up with 

summer bedding in milder areas. 

In colder areas further north or at 

high altitudes, it is advised to wait until 

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

Divide clumps of herbaceous perennials that you 

want to propagate. 

Bamboos and clumps of bulbs or rhizomes can be 

divided in the same way. Cutting back clumps of 

spring-flowering perennials such as Pulmonaria and 

Doronicum can encourage a fresh flush of foliage.

kitchen. A scuff here and a scratch there 

are barely noticeable at first. 

AT THE HEART 

OF THE HOME... 

The kitchen is the heart of 

many homes. 

What’s more, it’s usually at the centre of 

family gatherings and social occasions. 

Over time though, dents accompany 

scratches, doors don’t fit like they used 

to, and the worktops have seen better 

days. 

And one evening, while taking stock 

of your once lovely kitchen, you notice 

the tiles. Oh dear. Did you really choose 

those? 

As the song said, ‘you’ll always find me 

in the kitchen at parties’…! It’s true isn’t 

it? 

Many a relationship has started over a 

glass of something in a friend’s kitchen! 

One of the side effects of this volume of 

traffic is the sheer wear and tear on your 

108

HOME & GARDEN 


It’s all a bit lost in the mists of time, but 

surely it wasn’t that long ago? 

And let’s not even talk about the 

grouting or the impossible to remove 

marks on the hob. 

Throw in customisable LED lighting 

options, economical appliances that 

run at a whisper and it really does feel 

like the 21st century has arrived. And all 

this while saving space for the easy to 

access, integrated wine rack! 

Moving on then, time really does fly 

doesn’t it? And surely it makes sense 

that this all-important domestic 

rendezvous point gets an occasional 

facelift or refit? 

It isn’t even about new for the sake 

of vanity, or even keeping up with the 

Jones’ (although their kitchen is just too 

fabulous, darling!). 

The latest kitchen designs afford the 

use of just about every available inch of 

space, with innovative storage features. 

A bit like Heineken, refreshing the parts 

older kitchens can’t reach! 

From granite to quartz to new 

composite materials, today’s kitchen are 

streets ahead of designs even just a few 

years old. 

Breakfast bars are now islands, with 

integrated appliances such as hobs 

with their statement extractor fans 

suspended above. 

The ever-present family kettle is 

becoming redundant with the popularity 

of Boiling Water Taps, and all this with 

electrical outlets and charging points 

aplenty to gadgets, phones and other 

essentials.

CROSSFIT GAMES 

BY ROSS “ACTION MAN” WISHART 

In last September’s edition of Bounce 

I wrote about my first foray into 

the global fitness phenomenon that 

is CrossFit, I even touched on the 

search for the fittest athlete on earth 

in CrossFit’s annual championship, 

Now I was and still am a relative novice to 

the sport and therefore conceded that I 

probably wouldn’t be in the running for the 

$250,000 top prize... this year. 

However I was encouraged by my gym 

(aka ‘box’ in CrossFit terminology) gang to 

participate under the guise of “it’ll be fun” 

but despite the fact I knew I would struggle 

with certain elements I was keen to use this as 

a benchmark to kick-on my CrossFit journey. 

The competition starts with ‘The Open’ which 

is available to all entrants at all levels and 

comprises of 5 workouts specifically designed 

for the event with their details a closely 

guarded secret. 

One workout is released every Thursday night 

for 5 weeks, you then have until the following 

Monday night to complete it at a CrossFit 

affiliated Box under the trained eye of a 

CrossFit affiliated coach and then submit your 

score online. It all sounds quite serious but we 

are talking about the world championship of 

a highly competitive, professional, sport and 

you can’t help but get caught up in the hype 

leading up to the workout reveals. 

112


SPORT 

For those still contemplating CrossFit then 

fret not, your local box is not filled with 

reebok clad, dumbbell hurling hooligans, quite 

the opposite in fact. A CrossFit workout has a 

number of different scaled difficulty levels to 

ensure that you get the best workout for your 

ability until the time you are ready for the top 

end RX workout. 

The 2018 CrossFit Games Open got underway 

with over 400,000 competitors and I was 

able to give a good account of myself for the 

first 2 workouts 18.1 & 18.2, the follow week 

however was a different kettle of fish. A work 

conference saw me in Sri Lanka the following 

week, undeterred I found the nearest CrossFit 

gym, 90% humidity made the going tough but 

thanks to the support of CrossFit Colombo I 

happily ticked 18.3 off the list. 

The final two workouts saw the difficulty 

level rise and my capabilities fail with some 

technical movements but this has only served 

to spur me on to bigger and better things 

in 2019 as I am to better my 160,534th final 

position, which sadly isn’t enough to see me 

qualify for the Europe regional event in Berlin, 

with the top competitors there going forward 

to the final in Las Vegas.The Open has also 

helped me integrate further into my box and 

the wider CrossFit community, both of which I 

feel immensely proud to be a part of. 

Action Man says: For the first time I 

can proudly say that I am a crossfitter! 

You can too! Join me a Grange Fitness 

& Performance Centre in Martlesham 

or visit www.crossfit.com to find you 

nearest box.

DECEMBER MAY 2018 2017 | ISSUE | MAY ISSUE #67 2018 #62 | ISSUE | MUSIC NEWTON #67 & ENTERTAINMENT 

FAULKNER 

THE DIRE STRAIGHTS EXPERIENCE 

The Dire Straits Experience, 

the acclaimed live show from 

former Dire Straits touring 

member Chris White, have 

announced a six-date UK tour 

spanning May and June 2018. 

Over 25 years have passed since 

Dire Straits disbanded, leaving 

a catalogue of some of the 

finest compositions and musical 

performances that the heyday of 

rock ever produced. If anything, 

their reputation has only grown 

with time. Record sales of more 

than 125 million albums continue 

to increase as new young fans 

discover the music and join 

the band’s massive worldwide 

following. A trend that is echoed 

in their 2018 inauguration into 

the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame. 

It was against the backdrop of 

a two-decade break - and an 

increasing demand to hear one 

of the most dramatic songbooks 

in rock history played live again 

– that former members of Dire 

Straits, Alan Clark, Chris White 

and Phil Palmer formed The 

Straits for a charity show at The 

Royal Albert Hall in 2011. With 

the prolific Knopfler enjoying an 

incredibly successful solo career, 

Alan Clark called upon the 

singer songwriter, Terence Reis 

to front the band in his absence. 

By the time The Straits ended, 

three and a half years later, the 

band had played more than 150 

shows in 25 countries around 

the world. 

Chris White said; “I have been 

truly amazed and, frankly, 

humbled by the response we 

have had from the fans on 

hearing these songs again. In 

Terence Reis, I think we may 

have found the only person on 

the planet that is able to play 

and sing like Mark, but maintain 

his own integrity and identity. 

I think this is the very essence 

of why the fans have been 

so accepting of what we do. 

They believe in Terence as his 

own man. They know he is not 

trying to be Mark. Because of 

his respect for Mark, Terence is 

able to perform these songs in 

a very honest way that allows 

his energy and talent to come 

through. This is exactly what 

allows the performances to 

feel alive and fresh. Not slavish 

copies of a bygone time. 

Without Terence, this would 

simply not work.” 

And so it is that these songs, in 

all their ambition, grandeur and 

aching beauty, are once again 

presented live... for the fans that 

that have kept them alive.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT... 

JAMIE ARCHER 

MUSIC 

Jamie Archer is a 19 year old Funk-Rock 

solo artist from Halesworth, Suffolk. 

Currently studying at the University of 

Lincoln he is in his first year of Media 

Production. Jamie grew up in a household 

where music was around every corner, 

whether it be his brothers playing their 

guitars or his dad reminiscing in the 

lounge as he blared out Chic; it was safe to 

say music would undoubtedly become a 

part of his everyday life. Up until just over 

a year ago Jamie was very much a listener 

only, however having always wanted to 

produce something of his own, he did just 

that. 

Jamie began working on music, with 

influences from his upbringing becoming 

the forefront for establishing a genre. With 

a mix of his dad’s love of 80’s disco music 

and family’s shared love of rock, emerged 

a funky but also rocky vibe. Leading up 

to summer 2017 he continued producing 

such songs and began uploading them 

to BBC Introducing. BBC Radio Suffolk 

listened to his tracks and really liked them, 

following which they chose to broadcast 

them through the summer as part of the 

Introducing programme and receiving lots 

of positive feedback from listeners. 

Life was going great but then it all 

came crashing down. Towards the end 

of the summer Jamie’s mum tragically 

passed way and his world was torn 

apart. Suddenly everything about his life 

changed and music went out the window. 

Jamie expresses that during his grieving, 

he began to find that writing lyrics and 

producing music about his deepest 

thoughts and feelings served as a coping 

mechanism. Furthermore in time his love 

for music was reborn and soon began 

making more and more music, leading to 

being featured on Radio Suffolk again. 

A few months ago he had the realisation to 

make an album, to produce a soundtrack 

to his heartache, a testament to his grief. 

He decided early on the album would be 

entitled ‘Silently Loud’ due to the fact these 

songs were a way of taking his deepest 

thoughts that had been silent and loudly 

evoking them through music. Recently he 

has released a single off the upcoming 

album, which has been broadcast on 

university radio and subsequently the 

appreciation for which has led to him to 

becoming the University of Lincoln Artist of 

the Week. Which brings us to the present 

day. 

Jamie’s debut album ‘Silently Loud’ is now 

out across all music platforms including 

Spotify and iTunes.

Archie’s 

Adventures 

SAFETY IN THE GARDEN... 

I love a good scout around the 

garden, especially when it’s warm. 

Last year, I had a rather unpleasant experience 

with some uninvited friends who made their 

home on me… bloomin’ cheek! 

So in light of that, here is my handy doggy guide 

to staying safe in the garden. 

TICKS AND FLEAS... 

The warm weather brings out undesirable pests 

such as fleas, ticks and mites, I know I have had 

them! 

Make sure your four legged friend is treated 

monthly for fleas and ticks. If you find one use 

the hook method or seek vet advice. 

DRINK... 

Make sure that your dog has a fresh bowl of 

water always available to them. They will drink 

more in the hot weather so you will need to 

check and re-fill it on a regular basis. 

SUNBURN & PAW BURN... 

Dogs love to sit in the sun but don’t let them 

bake themselves. If necessary, restrict access 

to directly sunny areas and provide plenty of 

accessible shady places for them to relax. 

Pets with light or white coats or exposed skin 

can get sun burnt. Use a sun block on exposed 

areas and on the tips of ears, forehead and nose 

or any area you feel could burn. Don’t walk your 

dog on hot surfaces such as pavements, tarmac, 

parking lots etc. as this can burn their pads. If it is 

too hot for the back of your hand, it is too hot for 

your dog’s paws. 

Most importantly have fun in the sun, enjoy it 

while it lasts! 

Follow me on Insta @official_archies_ 

adventures. You can also keep up to date with 

my antics on Twitter @bouncearchie. 

SHADE... 

Always make sure that your dog has access to a 

shady area, whether it is indoors or out. You can 

be prosecuted for cruelty to animals if you leave 

your dog without adequate shade and adequate 

water.
