I’ve had over 70,000 pricks… of the medical 

kind.This is my chance to set the record straight 

about Type 1 diabetics like me. 

PRICKS GOES ON THE ROAD... 

Darlington actress, Jade Byrne, 

heads off on a special UK tour this 

year as Pricks, a medical play (with 

a difference) about Type 1 Diabetes, 

takes in a dozen dates from Hexham to 

Exeter and a few in-between. 

At 33-years-old Jade has been an actress 

for nine years (appearing in the likes of 

Inspector George Gently, Casualty and 

Mount Pleasant), and a Type 1 diabetic 

for the past 30 (just ask her stage 

companion, Dennis the Menace, he’s 

been there from the beginning). 

An urgent, yet funny, new, one-woman 

show sees Jade tell a warm, engaging 

and uplifting story with poetry, original 

soundscape about families and learning 

to care for others better. 

Success has been so overwhelming that 

for one that made its debut outing at 

last year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival, 

was lauded over by Peter Lathan of 

the British Theatre Guide, honouring 

Jade’s personal idiom as being the ‘Best Solo Show’ of 

2018 after he witnessed it at the Alphabetti Theatre, 

Newcastle. 

Looking ahead to the tour Jade said: “I want everyone to 

experience Pricks and be affected by it, in a good way. 

“I want to be able to educate yet entertain people about 

what it (Type 1 Diabetes) is and to be able to take this as 

far as possible. 

“I love seeing the reaction from the audience at shows 

and it is a good night out. 

“It’s funny, but will make a lot of people cry, happy tears 

as it’s everything I’d like myself from a theatre show.” 

Beginning on April 25 Jade will take in Cheltenham, 

Leeds, Darlington, Halifax, Hexham, Exeter, Hemel 

Hempstead, Newcastle, Harrogate, Derby, and Doncaster 

before finishing at the Pulse Festival, Ipswich, on June 4.

Check out my new 

look fashion website 

imnotoldimretro.co.uk 

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

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

Nothing makes you feel more spring 

like than crisp early mornings and 

sunshine. I’m in love with 

spring, it’s the promise of 

new beginnings, there’s 

chocolate, my birthday (I’m 

46 this year) plus the lighter 

evenings. 

This month, I’ve been and 

had my hair cut at Vanity 

Eight in BSE and have 

revisited my Mod roots, 

where I have to say I’m 

happiest! I will go lighter for 

summer so watch this space (hair)! I love it. 

Now my fashion insiders who attended 

some of the blogger press events over 

the winter for SS19 tell me that colour is 

everything this season. 

So, as I always, say go big 

or go small it’s up to you. I 

personally love block colour 

and mixing patterns. This it all 

depends where your comfort 

level is. 

My favourite brands - ZARA 

and ASOS - have 

everything you need to 

add to your wardrobe. I’m 

also loving this seasons 

MUST HAVE colour which 

is PURPLE! 

I’m a fan of lavender 

colours and light pastels 

so I’m definitely going to be adding some of 

this colour palette into my spring and summer 

wardrobe. 

10


FASHION 

Keep an eye out for multi-coloured 

trainers to wear with playsuits and 

flowing dresses, and this seasons must 

have shoes are flat mules. 

Kurt Geiger have some of the nicest 

along with Topshop and Misguided. 

I’m also loving NIKES airforce 1’S which 

would go with everything. 

I’m telling myself I’m not too old and I’m 

believing at the moment! 

Accessories are always a win so take 

a look at Gangster wraps and Penelope 

C henderson on Insta for some colour 

inspiration. 

It’s been a busy time over on the Blog 

and I’ve been editing my Pro Age Pro 

Women series. 

This seasons must 

have colour is 

purple! 

There are some really interesting women 

over my social media and I’m really 

enjoying reading everyone’s stories. 

I’m giving you my favourite trends and 

how to wear them in a bit more depth 

so take a look. 

So with the promise of spring and better 

weather I’m urging you to go forth and 

add some purple to your wardrobe. Be it 

earrings, a bag, some shoes, a blazer or 

the whole hog. 

Enjoy getting dressed for spring. 

Mules are really 

on trend at the 

moment 

Stay stylish - Love Zee x

Suffolk Singer Debuts with 

Jamiroquai Drummer... 

like going to therapy – but the microphone was the 

therapist. It was very cathartic. 

“I had originally spoken to Nick about creating music 

for a play I had written, but as soon as we got into the 

studio, Game of Blame was born. 

A Suffolk musician has teamed up with 

a Jamiroquai star and released her first 

single. 

Charlie Emmeline, who grew up in Bury St Edmunds, 

had previously studied musical theatre at prestigious 

drama school, Mountview Academy. 

Charlie has since been working very closely with Nick 

van Gelder, who was a drummer for the accoladewinning 

British band Jamiroquai in the 1990s. 

The pair have worked together on the debut single, 

Game of Blame, which is now available for download 

on Spotify and iTunes. 

The single was written after Charlie had experienced 

a deep bout of depression while working in London 

as an actress. 

The pair have also worked on a music video which has 

been released with the single. 

“We’ve had an amazing time creating the video for it 

as well and we’re thrilled to have released it with the 

single this week. 

“This isn’t your typical three-minute Ariana Grande 

song - I can’t wait to see the response and I’m excited 

to have people listening to and enjoying my music.” 

While at Mountview, Charlie was selected from 

hundreds of students to be mentored by musical 

theatre superstar Elaine Paige OBE. 

“I was so convinced Elaine Page wouldn’t pick me out 

of all those who auditioned.” Charlie says. 

“I just did what I love to do most - sing. I’m so 

immensely grateful to have had her expertise so early 

on in my career. 

“I’ve worked with some really talented individuals so 

far and it’s definitely reiterated that music is what I 

want to do for the rest of my life. 

“I am inspired by anyone who creates a long-term 

career from being an artist. It is no mean feat.” 

On experience, Charlie said: “Creating the music was

THE ART OF: 

knitting 

A PASTIME MAKING A 

COME BACK... 

Knitting is back in fashion and 

a number of studies in recent 

years have shown that knitting is 

more than craft. 

Results of a survey of over 

3,500 knitters worldwide, 

published in the British Journal 

of Occupational Therapy, 

concluded that “Knitting has 

significant psychological and 

social benefits, which can 

contribute to wellbeing and 

quality of life.” 

The research shows that the 

act of knitting can distract 

from chronic pain, lower blood 

pressure, reduce depression and 

anxiety, and even slow the onset 

of dementia. Because knitting 

is both process and productoriented, 

crafters benefit 

from both the repetitive 

nature of the task, and 

the satisfaction of 

completing the 

task. 

The repetitive 

movements 

are said to 

induce a 

meditative-like calm, distracting 

knitters from their symptoms, 

while those who join charities 

and form groups benefit from 

these effective social support 

networks. 

In days gone by, knitting was a 

more functional activity - people 

made the clothes they or their 

family needed to wear, these 

days it has evolved into a more 

social pastime. 

“RESEARCH SHOWS 

KNITTING CAN HELP 

WITH STRESS AND 

CHRONIC PAIN” 

For those looking to start 

knitting help is at hand. You 

can sign up to a starter knitting 

course created online by 

Centre of Excellence (www. 

centreofexcellence.com). There 

is no time limit to complete 

the course and you will receive 

certificates as you progress. 

You can’t start without 

the equipment though, we 

recommend these items from

Tips for a busy bride... 

BY LISA MARIE SMITH 

Planning a wedding 

can be a stressful and 

time-consuming affair, 

and it can get worse if 

you’re holding a fulltime 

job. 

Here are my top tips on how 

to manage your time well for 

your dream celebrations. 

1. SET A DATE... 

Once he’s put a ring on it and 

the excitement’s settled down, 

it’s time to get back to reality. 

One of the first things to 

confirm, is when you’ll actually 

be wed. If, like most of us, you’ve got a full-time job and 

deadlines to deal with, you should let your boss know. 

A tip: If you’re not in a rush to tie the knot, it’s best if 

you can give yourself about a year and after to plan the 

wedding. 

2. KNOW WHAT YOU WANT... 

With all the pretty wedding inspo pictures out there, it’s 

hard not to want the biggest, prettiest, most romantic 

wedding of the year. Instead, discuss your priorities with 

your fiance, and pick the ones that matter to you most. 

Once you’ve got a focus, it’s easier to proceed from 

there. 

3. PLAN WELL... 

Be prepared for the busiest times, which tend to 

happen just after your engagement and the few days 

(or months) leading up to the wedding. And at times, 

you’ll find yourself having nothing to do in between. If 

possible, try not to take breaks that are too long, for you 

might find yourself scrambling to finish everything at the 

last minute. 

20

WEDDING 

APRIL 2019 APRIL | 2019 ISSUE | ISSUE #78 | #78 WEDDING 

4. SKIP THE DIY... 

If you’ve never tried major projects, 

now’s not the time to begin. 

Instead, pick a few small projects to 

work on, and leave the rest to the 

professionals, or buy. 

5. HELP AT HAND... 

Many hands make light work, and 

there’s no shame in asking for 

assistance. If your fiance’s not as 

involved as you’d like him to be, tell 

him. 

6. LOOK TO FORUMS FOR 

ADVICE... 

If you’re the first bride amongst your 

friends and family to get married, just 

google, or head to wedding forums 

to check what other brides have 

done. 

7. GET ORGANIZED... 

Keep all your wedding-related 

documents in one place – in a Google 

sheet, Pinterest board, notebook or 

a folder. What should go in: Your todo 

lists, receipts, brochures, colour 

swatches, invitation samples, images, 

and so on. 

8. LET IT GO... 

While having a focus is good, don’t 

get too fixated on the things that 

may not work out according to plan. 

Instead, leave it and try to come up 

with something that fits. Prepare a 

2nd, 3rd and even 4th option that 

will probably work out just as well in 

the end. 

Until next time...

NEWMARKET 

NIGHTS 2019 

We speak 

to Sara from 

Bananarama 

about their 

appearance at 

this years event. 

22

FEATURE 

APRIL 2019 APRIL | ISSUE 2019 | #78 ISSUE | BANANARAMA 


Bananarama’s Sara Dallin and Keren 

Woodward celebrate the group’s 36th 

anniversary and their achievements 

speak for themselves. 

Two Band Aid appearances, an entry in the 

Guinness Book of World Records as the most 

successful female band worldwide with the 

most charting singles, many of which were 

international hits, four hitting the US Billboard 

Top 10 including a No.1 with Venus. 

To date the duo have had 32 Top 40 UK hits. 

They have released 10 albums and sold 30 million 

records. 

Bananarama formed in London 

in the early 80s, Sara Dallin 

and Keren Woodward 

had been living in the 

YWCA which was 

about to close 

so were looking 

for somewhere 

cheap to live on a 

students wage. 

After a chance 

meeting with 

Paul Cook (ex 

Sex Pistols) at the 

club Studio 21 their 

problem was solved, 

he offered the pair 

a room above the Sex 

Pistols old rehearsal 

space in the legendary 

Denmark St. Charing Cross. 

The walls were covered with Johnny 

Rotten’s drawings of Sid and Nancy and Dallin 

and Woodward added their own names to the 

mural . The 17th century townhouse is now a 

Grade II listed building. 

Most recently, Bananarama have announced the 

release of the their 11th studio album In Stereo 

due out 19th April 2019. 

For the past three decades, Sara Dallin and 

Keren Woodward have been one of pop’s most 

influential and revered groups. 

Their hit packed career happened because they 

were the mould-breakers. Sometimes reminders 

of pop genius come in the slightest of touches, 

the subtlest of triggers. In Stereo, their upcoming 

11th studio album, is full of them. 

We speak to Sara about their new album and 

upcoming performance at this years Newmarket 

Nights... 

OVER THE PAST THREE DECADES, YOU HAVE 

BECOME ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL 

AND PIONEERING GROUPS IN THE INDUSTRY, 

DID YOU THINK YOU’D STILL BE AROUND 

TODAY? 

No, I was 18 when I started, I just 

left college. I was in the music 

world, going to clubs. Keren 

and I lived above the Sex 

Pistols’ rehearsal room. 

The ex band members 

used to have another 

group and we used 

to sing backing 

vocals with 

them. Then I met 

Siobhan and we 

just decided to 

put the group 

together. 

I think we were 

signed as a novelty 

act because there 

weren’t a great deal 

of girl bands around, 

well there weren’t any to 

my knowledge. 

They signed us and we had a hit, I don’t 

think they quite knew why but they didn’t 

interfere with what we were doing so we wrote 

our own material, wrote our own songs, and the 

hits just kept coming so they left us to it. 

Being in my 50s now, it does seem like such a 

huge, long career for Karen and myself. I didn’t 

think it would be that long but it’s amazing. 

WHY DO YOU THINK THAT IS? 

I guess you could ask that of any group really 

that’s still going. It’s something I enjoy, I always 

23

APRIL 2019 APRIL | ISSUE 2019 | #78 ISSUE | BANANARAMA 


loved writing, I trained to be a journalist because 

I loved writing, I wrote books, ended up writing 

songs. 

Keren and I have been friends since we were 

children so it’s like travelling the world with your 

best friend. I think we write great pop songs, we 

just appealed across the board really, I think young 

girls really liked us because they saw something 

they have never necessarily seen before. 

ARE THERE ANY GROUPS THAT YOU’RE REALLY 

LOVING AT THE MOMENT, OR ANY GIRL BANDS 

THAT REMIND YOU OF BANANARAMA’S EARLY 

DAYS? 

Most girl bands in the charts have come from 

reality shows, which isn’t a bad thing, I think Little 

Mix are great, great vocals, great voices. 

I don’t really know any other girl groups that were 

quite like us. We formed our own group, had this 

friendship, it was very different in the 80s. 

YOUR DEBUT ALBUM DEEP SEA SKIVING WAS 

RELEASED IN 1983 AND YOU’VE RELEASED 

AN AMAZING 9 ALBUMS SINCE THEN. HOW 

DO YOU THINK YOUR SOUND AND STYLE HAS 

DEVELOPED FROM ALBUM TO ALBUM? 

Keren and I are about to release our 11th studio 

album, so it’s obviously changed; we were 

teenagers when we started, we’ve been a duo for 

sort of 35 years, our music just evolved. 

There are different kinds of technology now; we 

write with a friend of ours in a studio in his house, 

it’s just very different. It’s great. 

SIOBHAN FAHAY RE-JOINED THE BAND FOR 

A REUNION TOUR IN 2017, WHAT WAS IT LIKE 

GETTING THE GANG BACK TOGETHER AND 

BEING A TRIO AGAIN? 

We asked Siobhan if she’d like to do a one off UK 

tour, it was fun. 

She never toured with us, she left in 1988, and 1989 

we went on a world tour so she never experienced 

that kind of thing so it was really good. 

IN STEREO, YOUR 11TH STUDIO ALBUM, IS DUE 

FOR RELEASE NEXT MONTH, MAKING IT 10 

YEARS SINCE YOUR LAST ALBUM, VIVA. WHAT 

INSPIRED YOU TO FINALLY GET BACK IN THE 

STUDIO? 

We were always in the studio, always writing 

songs, released EP’s, Christmas singles. 

We concentrated on touring for the past 15 years 

with our band, going all over the world. I really 

enjoyed touring because we didn’t get to do 

enough of it in the 80s. 

We felt the fans were asking for an album so we 

just collected all our songs and thought let’s put 

an album out. It seemed like the right time. 

HAVE YOU FOUND THAT YOUR APPROACH 

TO SONG-WRITING AND RECORDING HAS 

CHANGED DRASTICALLY OVER THE YEARS? 

No, not really. I’ve always loved writing songs, it’s 

just a great process. 

I love being able to write in my house, sitting at 

the kitchen table and then suddenly you’d be in 

the studio doing the final track, remembering 

where it came from, it’s very satisfying. 

HAVING HAD 32 TOP 40 UK SINGLES, SOLD OUT 

MULTIPLE TOURS, AND RELEASED 10 ALBUMS, 

DID YOU FEEL ANY PRESSURE WHEN MAKING 

IN STEREO? 

No, it’s such an enjoyable process. It doesn’t really 

matter to me whether it was 5 years ago or 10 

years ago, writing is just something I really enjoy 

doing. 

So I don’t think you feel the pressure, back in the 

80s you’re waiting for chart positions, TV shows, 

and radio plays and now it’s just really enjoyable. I 

don’t feel any sort of pressure or competition. 

FOR THE RELEASE OF THE NEW ALBUM, 

YOU’RE PLAYING SMALL AND INTIMATE 

VENUES, WHY IS THAT? 

It’s the way things are done now. It’s like a fan 

show, Kylie’s done it, loads of people have done 

it, but we’re going to do a Q&A so ours is quite

APRIL APRIL 2019 2019 | ISSUE | ISSUE #78 #78 | BANANARAMA 

It should be a good evening. 

WHAT DO YOU FEEL IS THE MOST MEMORABLE 

MOMENT OF YOUR CAREER? 

There’s loads really: first starting out, making a 

demo, getting your first play on the radio, having 

our first top 10 in America. Loads of things. 

Particularly now, Keren and I are off touring, it’s 

great fun. 

YOU’VE PLAYED BAND AID TWICE, AND WERE 

PART OF THE ORIGINAL LINE UP, HOW WAS IT? 

I’m not sure we knew what was going to be 

happening that day; we got a call from Bob 

Geldoff saying “can you come to the studio, we’re 

going to record a song for a charity”. 

We didn’t really know what was going on, but as 

we arrived we saw George Michael, Bono, and it 

escalated into all these celebrities in one room, 

which is quite amazing, but the cause itself was 

an amazing thing to be part of. 

YOU’RE PLAYING NEWMARKET RACECOURSE 

IN AUGUST, HAVE YOU PLAYED AT A 

RACECOURSE BEFORE? 

Yes, we’ve played quite a few racecourse’s, they’re 

always really good fun. Looking forward to it. 

WHAT CAN FANS THAT HAVE NEVER SEEN YOU 

LIVE BEFORE EXPECT FROM THE SHOW? ANY 

SURPRISES IN STORE? 

HOW DID YOU GO ABOUT CHOOSING YOUR 

HORSE? 

Just if we liked the name. 

FINALLY, AFTER NEWMARKET, WHAT ARE 

YOUR PLANS FOR THE REST OF 2019? 

It’s festival season so we have loads of UK 

Festivals, a couple European ones, then we’re 

playing Summer Sonic in Japan, which is a huge 

festival in Tokyo with 50,000 people, and that’s 

in August. 

In Stereo will be released 19th April 2019, 

on CD, Digital and Vinyl. 

NEWMARKET NIGHTS: 

Date: 

9th August 2019 

Ticket prices: 

Premier Enclosure: Adult £42

Well obviously we’ve got the new single out, 

we’re playing that. 

Possibly other stuff from the new album, the 

classic hits, some from the 80s, the 90s, a mixture 

of new and old stuff. It should be fun. 

HAVE YOU EVER PLACED A BET ON A HORSE, 

AT A RACETRACK, OR THE GRAND NATIONAL. 

ETC. ? 

Yes I have. We used to go with George Michael to 

the races, that was always really great fun. 

Not quite sure I knew what I was doing but I know 

people placed bets for us. It was great fun. 

‘In Stereo’, out 19th

Trying to Lose Weight… how’s it Going? 

According to a survey of 2000 people, 

54% of New Year resolutions in 2019 

were to lose weight! 

Did you have the best intentions to lose 

weight at the start of the year? How’s that 

going? If you abandoned the diet as the 

weeks went by, it might help to know that 

only 2-5% of people who diet will lose weight 

and keep it off. So, give yourself a break! But 

why don’t diets work? 

Why Don’t Diets Work? 

Diets are a short-term fix. Weight loss or gain 

simply comes down to the calories you eat, 

as I’m sure you are aware; eat more calories 

than you use, you will gain weight, eat less 

calories than you use, you will lose weight. 

The problem is, once you finish the diet, the 

weight comes back because you still have the 

same habits that contributed to the weight 

gain in the first place. 

How do I Lose Weight if I don’t 

Diet? 

Another reason why diets have a poor success 

rate is down to the fact that most of us eat for 

many more reasons than hunger. 

Have you ever noticed how your mood, good 

or bad, can have you raiding the cupboard or 

fridge in search of a particular type of food? 

This is known as emotional eating; where you 

eat to fulfill an emotional need rather than a 

biological one. 

If you would like to lose weight, and keep 

the weight off, a good place to start is by 

changing the relationship you have with 

food. This can be done using Cognitive 

Hypnotherapy. If you would like to find out 

how I can help you lose weight and keep 

that weight off, get in touch today for a free 

telephone consultation.

NEW FEATURE 

Jacqui Sinclair 

Yoga Do’s and Dont’s 

Jacqui Sinclair has been 

teaching yoga in the Bury St 

Edmunds area for ‘ages’ and is 

keen to promote the benefits of 

a regular practice to all. 

This monthly piece will feature 

basic answers to some of the 

many YOGA comments and 

questions that get asked by 

beginners and pre-beginners 

alike! 

One comment often heard is ‘ I 

am not flexible enough for yoga’. 

Flexibility is only one part of 

many areas of exploration within 

a yoga practice. For many of 

us, it feels like the most obvious 

‘restriction’ that we encounter 

when we first go to a class. 

Lacking flexibility can feel like 

the practice is an impossible feat 

of trying to move with the hand 

brake on. Looking simply at just 

the biomechanical objectives 

of our yoga practice, it would 

be best summarised as to bring 

balance in the body between 

stability and flexibility – working 

on optimum integration of both, 

for our own individual anatomy. 

All aspects of the practice 

are worked on gradually, 

incrementally and progressively. 

If we consider the number 

of years we have 

been ‘doing that life 

stuff’ that we do, with 

all the repetitive patterns of 

movement and behaviours, 

it would be unrealistic to 

expect to reverse that in a few 

classes. Anatomically we are 

all very different, so optimum 

flexibility for you may well be 

significantly different from 

the person on the mat next to 

you. Props (blocks, cushions 

etc) can assist in your practice 

being safe and progressive, 

and using them can indicate an 

advanced practice technique (as 

it shows awareness) rather than 

feeling like using stabilisers on 

a bike….your practice can feel 

challenging, but it shouldn’t feel 

like a battle with your own body. 

Flexibility is best approached 

with an attitude of working with 

the body gradually to create 

space, rather than imposing a 

stretch on the body to push it 

where we have an idea that it 

‘ought’ to be, or some arbitrary 

target like ‘touching your toes’. 

The poses gradually come to 

feel expansive rather than 

confrontational. This can be a 

challenging concept to embody 

for those from a sport/intensive 

training background who are 

adept at ‘pushing through’ and 

trying harder, with a binary all 

or nothing approach. 

The pretzel poses that people 

often associate with yoga 

are not where you start, nor 

where most of us end up – and 

may well be inappropriate 

for our anatomy (and chosen 

activities) in any case. A good 

starting place in summarising 

your initial encounters with 

yoga as “simply breathing - 

and exploring movement and 

stillness to bring balance and 

space in the mind and body”. 

A hugely liberating experience 

as most of us have lost touch 

with how to deeply and 

completely relax into a state of 

being rather than doing.

Sick and tired of being in pain? 

Realigning the Atlas is like getting 

the foundations of a house laid 

correctly... when the support 

structure is in place, the rest of 

the vertebrae are aligned and fully 

functioning at their best. 

This analogy will help to understand the process: 

Fully qualified Harley Street Practitioner, visiting 

Bury St Edmunds 

“The Atlas is like the first link on a chain. If the 

first link is twisted, the rest of the chain will be 

twisted. If you undo it, the chain will straighten 

up”. 

Many years of clinical research have shown that 

the first cervical vertebra (C1) or atlas, is more or 

less malrotated from birth, in almost all humans. 

Traumas such as whiplash, slips and falls, or any 

sports injuries can push the atlas vertebra in an 

even worth position, and therefore be the cause 

of many health problems. 

“I would definitely recommend this to anyone 

who suffer back and shoulder pain, even sinus 

problems. It has been over 3 months now pain 

free and sinus unblocked” - T.B - London 

The treatment for this misalignment is called 

AtlasPROfilax® and is practised by Marie- 

Agnes Casalini, Harley Street Practitioner, 

visiting Suffolk, certified to the highest level 

AtlasPROfilax®. 

“After countless visits to an osteopath and a 

chiropractor, with only minor and temporary 

improvement to my stiff and twisted neck and 

torso, I discovered MarieAtlas and had the 

AtlasProfilax treatment. I could not have been in 

better hands as Marie-Agnes is kind, gentle and 

caring, though the treatment is uncomfortable, 

it is bearable and doesn’t take long. My pelvis 

straightened out almost immediately and 

my neck is getting better every day. Yes it’s 

expensive, but worth every penny”! - M.A 

AtlasPROfilax® is a very safe, natural, non-invasive 

method which was developed by the Swiss 

Renée-Claudius Schümperli between 1993 and 

1996, after years of study, now recommended by 

Chiropractors and Osteopaths. 

The malrotation of the atlas vertebra can be 

accurately and safely corrected by the unique 

AtlasPROfilax® method with only one application. 

The application requires two scheduled 

appointments with Marie, firstly for the treatment 

and then a follow up appointment.

Finding your optimum health... 

Do you feel below par? Small changes 

in your diet may lead to big changes in 

your health. Want to know exactly what 

you need to change and how to make 

those changes long lasting? 

Carrie Temple, Nutritional Therapist. Dip NT CNM, offers 

expert advice in Nutritional Therapy. 

HOW WILL NUTRITIONAL THERAPY HELP YOU? 

Nutritional Therapy is a complementary therapy that 

works well alongside conventional medicine. It is most 

relevant for individuals with long term sub optimal 

health, as well as those looking for support to enhance 

their health and wellbeing. Practitioners consider each 

individual to be unique and recommend personalised 

nutrition and lifestyle programmes rather than a ‘one size 

fits all’ approach. 

WHY NUTRITIONAL THERAPY? 

You have seen your GP who has run all of the appropriate 

tests and informed you that the results are normal and 

that there is nothing to worry about, 

but your symptoms have not improved 

and you still feel below par. If you are 

low in specific vitamins or minerals, 

have an imbalanced fat intake, are 

short of protein or eating unhelpful 

carbohydrates, making changes to your 

diet could help. Identifying and changing 

these on your own is difficult, but this is 

where your nutritional therapist is trained 

to help. 

Carrie explains, “As Nutritional Therapist 

I can identify areas of nutritional 

imbalance and create an individual 

nutrition programme to improve and 

optimise your health and wellbeing. I 

aim to show you the link between your 

symptoms and the foods you are eating. 

I will educate you on why certain foods 

can benefit you, recommend alternatives 

and inspire you to make changes as you 

gain control and bring your body back 

into balance”.

Cheeseman Can 

Come Again... 


BY RALPH OATES 

A series of articles which will feature boxing facts 

from both the past to the present... 

Ted Cheeseman made his 

professional debut on the 12 

September 2015 stopping Gabor 

Ambrus of Hungary in two 

rounds of four at the O2 Arena 

Greenwich in London. It was 

early days but it was clear that 

Cheeseman had the potential to 

go far in the game. It was just a 

matter of time before he would 

be adding various titles to his 

name. 

Over the next couple of 

years Cheeseman lived up to 

expectations and continued his 

winning run. On the 1 July 2017 

in his ninth fight he challenged 

Matthew Ryan for the English 

Super-Welterweight crown 

the venue being the O2 Arena. 

Ryan was not an easy touch 

he had taken part in 15 fights 

with just one defeat. Ryan was 

an ambitious fighter and was 

capable of giving Cheeseman a 

good argument. It was on paper 

an evenly matched contest but 

Cheeseman stormed to the 

championship stopping Ryan 

in three rounds of a scheduled 

ten. After three more winning 

bouts Cheeseman stepped into 

the fray to contest another 

title the vacant World Boxing 

Association International Super- 

Welterweight Championship 

against experienced American 

Carson Jones who had 

participated in 57 bouts bout’s 

winning 40 losing 12 drawing 

three with two being declared a 

no contest. Jones was unable to 

make the stipulated weight for 

the said contest which meant 

that only Cheeseman could take 

the crown should he win and this 

he did in style gaining a 10 round 

points decision against his tough 

opponent. 

Cheeseman made a first 

defence of the World Boxing 

Association International 

Super-Welterweight crown 

against fellow Briton Paul Upton 

who was coming into the fight 

with an undefeated slate of 15 

victories. At the York Hall in 

Bethnal Green in London on the 

6 June 2018 Upton was stopped 

in round four of a scheduled 10. 

Next up on the 27 October 

2018 came Asinia Byfield in 

a bout for the vacant British 

Super-Welterweight crown. 

The venue for the contest was 

the Copper Box Arena at the 

Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park 

London. Byfield had only lost 

once in 15 professional outings 

prior to meeting Cheeseman but 

he found another defeat on his 

record when losing a 12 round 

points decision. 

It was now considered time for 

the London born fighter to step 

up another level and on the 

2nd February 2019 at the O2 

Arena Cheeseman challenged 

26 year old European title 

holder Sergio Garcia of Spain. 

Going into the contest the 

two fighters were undefeated. 

Cheeseman’s slate showed 

15 fights with 10 wins coming 

inside the distance including 

one on a disqualification. Garcia 

entered the battle ground 

with an impressive record of 

28 victorious fights with 13 

ending inside the distance. 

This was the first defence of 

the championship by Garcia. 

42 

It looked to be a 50-50 fight a 

contest hard to call but many 

felt that Cheeseman would 

emerge victorious and go on to 

even higher honours. After 12 

rounds of intense action much 

to the disappointment to his 

many fans, Cheeseman suffered 

his first defeat being soundly 

outpointed by the Spanish boxer. 

Garcia was just too good for 

the Briton in every department. 

Cheeseman was brave and kept 

on going attempting to turn the 

fight around but his attempts 

were futile. Garcia had an answer 

for everything Cheeseman tried 

during the contest. This was of 

course a setback but being only 

23 years of age Cheeseman can 

most certainly come again. It is 

apparent judging from his defeat 

to Garcia that he still has a great 

deal to learn and any grand 

plans for the future will have to 

be put on hold. It is possible of 

course that this fight came too 

soon for Cheeseman against a 

man who proved to be a great 

deal better than expected. After 

a rest from the rigours of the 

ring Cheeseman can ease his 

way back slowly with one or two 

warm up contests. Then later he 

can prepare to defend his British 

title perhaps even attempting to 

win the Lonsdale Belt outright. 

(Cheeseman needs to make 

three successful defences of the 

title to do so). There is a well 

known phrase that being- one 

swallow doesn’t make a summer 

and in boxing one defeat doesn’t 

end a career. Cheeseman can 

come again he still has a future 

in the sport.

Tickets to see 

The Crooners at The Apex... 

Following their successful 

appearance at The Apex last year, 

we just had to have them back. 

This rip roaring comedy musical has been 

wowing audiences with its witty and 

exhilarating show full of satirical 

energy, hilarious one liners, laugh 

out loud silliness and superb 

musical numbers. 

Crooners follows the 

story of three very British 

gentlemen who exhume the 

characteristics of a crooner; 

suave, selfassured, stylish, as 

they defend the role of a crooner 

in our modern world. By the very same 

nature, it is not always obvious that these 

characteristics are adopted quite so well by the 

quintessentially British. 

Featuring the outstanding and 

uncompromising live, on stage musicianship 

of the 9piece band ‘The Mini Big Band’, these 

Crooners feature songs from Frank Sinatra, 

Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, Matt Monro, 

Nat King Cole and Bobby Darin. Expect some 

‘Lady is a Tramp’, ‘Come Fly With Me’, ‘L.O.V.E’, 

‘When You’re Smiling’, ‘Fly Me To The Moon’, 

‘Beyond The Sea’, ‘Mac The Knife’ and many 

more.

What Bounce loves: 

“We love the fact your baby can find contentment 

– freeing up your hands to make a cup of tea or to 

catch up on some emails! 

The health benefits are fab! It aids acid reflux and 

colic, post feed the tummy time position can help 

support digestion. We also love the fact it comes 

from a family run business and was created by a 

mum who recognised there was a product missing 

in the market”.

homity pie

FOOD & DRINK 

APRIL 2019 APRIL | ISSUE 2019 | #78 ISSUE | FOOD #78 & DRINK 

Pulse until combined, breaking up any lumps. 

Add the parsley and pulse for a few seconds 

more until mixed. Bring together in a ball and 

tip out onto a lightly floured surface. 

2. Roll out the dough to a circle large enough 

to line a 22cm deep pie dish. Trim and crimp 

the edges; chill for 30 mins. 

An Easter favourite... 

We’ve given classic homity pie a seasonal 

twist, using fresh greens, peas, spring onions, 

asparagus and polenta – it’s really easy to 

make and full of spring flavours. 

Ingredients 

• 650g new potatoes 

• 240g bag sliced spring greens 

• 3 eggs 

• 4 tbsp double cream 

• 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard 

• 250g tub ricotta, drained 

• 125g pack asparagus tips 

• bunch spring onions, finely sliced 

• 100g fresh or frozen peas 

• 75g hard cheese 

• 3 tbsp ground polenta, almonds or 

breadcrumbs 

For the pastry 

• 500g pack shortcrust pastry, diced 

• 75g hard cheese grated 

Method 

1. To make the pastry, put the shortcrust dough 

and cheese in the bowl of a food processor. 

55 

3. Meanwhile, put the potatoes in a large pan of 

water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 10-15 

mins, until tender. Remove from the heat and 

drain. Leave to cool, then roughly slice. Preheat 

the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Put a 

baking sheet on the middle shelf to heat up. 

4. Microwave, steam or boil the spring greens 

following the packet instructions, until wilted. 

Leave to cool a little, then squeeze out the 

excess water. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, 

cream, mustard and ricotta until combined; 

season. Cut the asparagus in half and set the 

spears aside. Dice the stalks into 1cm chunks 

and add to the ricotta mixture with the spring 

greens, peas, potatoes and most of the spring 

onions. Scatter over most of the cheese and 

mix well. 

5.Line the chilled pastry base with the polenta, 

breadcrumbs or almonds. Tip in the filling, 

pressing down with the back of a spoon 

until tightly packed. Arrange the reserved 

asparagus spears on top, then scatter over the 

remaining spring onions and cheese. Bake on 

the preheated baking sheet for 45 mins, or until 

the filling is set and the pastry golden. Leave to 

stand for 15 mins before serving. 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: 

Tip: As the pie contains potatoes, serve with 

roasted parsnips, buttered carrots and Savoy 

cabbage, plus a dollop of wholegrain mustard.

The Riesling 

Grape 

The Riesling grape is considered to be one of the top 3 white grapes in the 

world, joining Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. 

BY ‘WINE BUFF’ FRED FISHER 

Historically it was grown in Germany where 

it is referenced in 1435, although it may have 

been around longer than that. It tends to 

relate to its location where in Germany, its 

ancestral home, it displays apple and tree fruit 

notes. In warmer climates it shows more citrus 

and lime flavours. 

Germany... 

The leading grape in Germany, it can show 

fruit and mineral flavours and ripens from 

September to late November. The main 

product in this country is achieved by 

picking grapes at different times even up 

to December. This achieves varying levels 

of sugar, depending on harvest time and 

can dictate how sweet the wine will be. It is 

common to see grapes that have shrivelled up 

on the vine concentrating the sugar. 

Although some vines have better vineyard 

locations than others the main quality range 

is based on when the grapes are picked 

and the sugar levels they have reached. 

These are called Pradikat wines, or Qmp. 

The descriptions on the labels will range 

from Kabinett to Trockenbeerenauslese, the 

driest to the sweetest. Lesser quality wines 

are called Qba and would use other grape 

varieties in the main. 

Alsace... 

The Riesling has been planted in Alsace since 

60

FOOD & DRINK 


1477 and is considered to be their best grape. 

They are quite different to the German ones 

in that the soil is more calcareous than the 

more slatey German soils. More French styles 

of wine making show the difference as well as 

the use of oak. The wines are more full bodied 

but they also produce a late harvest wine 

which is similar to the sweet German wines. 

Australia and New Zealand... 

In 1838 William Macarthur planted the 

Riesling in New South Wales. It was for a 

time the most planted white variety until the 

Chardonnay came on the scene in the 1990’s. 

The warmer Australian climate produces 

much thicker skins. It thrives well in 

South Australia and Western 

Australia too. The grape got 

to New Zealand in the 1970’s 

and the cool Marlborough 

regions suits it well. Late 

harvest ones are produced 

in Nelson. Central Otago is 

a cool newcomer with great 

promise. 

Austria... 

The palest and driest having only about 4 

% sugar but some sweet ones can go up to 

about 20% sugar. 

United States... 

German immigrants brought the grape to 

the USA in the late nineteenth century, and 

called it the Johannisberg Riesling to prove its 

German origins. Grown in New York State in 

the Finger Lakes it is light bodied and ranges 

from dry to sweet. Ice wine, extremely sweet 

is made here as well. In California It is not 

as popular as Chardonnay but can produce 

some high quality, late harvest wines. In the 

Pacific North West, Oregon is decreasing its 

use of the Riesling but in Washington State it 

is increasing. Randall Boon from Santa Cruz, 

California, makes a full AVA wine using solely 

the Riesling grape. Even Texas, Oklahoma, 

And Ohio have their parcels of Riesling 

showing it has the potential. 

Canada... 

Mostly from Ontario and Niagara which are 

major producers. Here they make Icewine. 

Icewine comes as a result of the bunches 

of grapes being frozen on the vine 

and the grapes losing water , thus 

concentrating the sugar for some 

very sweet wine. Some is made in 

British Columbia as well, but also 

some sparkling and table wine. In 

Nova Scotia the grape is showing 

particular promise, as a result of 

warm summers and cool nights. The 

Maritime climate also promotes some 

interest. 

Other Rieslings.. 

There is some confusion with the title Riesling, 

but with other spellings. The Welschriesling 

is totally unrelated and is grown in Austria, 

Hungary and Bulgaria. Sometimes known 

as the Laski Rizling in Slovenia, Croatia and 

Serbia and also as Olasz Rizling in Hungary. 

These three having nothing to do with 

Riesling. 

Conclusions... 

The grape Riesling is becoming fashionable again and is grown all round the world with a vast 

range of styles from Dry to luscious sweet wines. As diverse as Germany, Argentina, California, 

New Zealand etc, you are bound to find one you like, Give it a try.

THE 

HOSTE 

By Rachel Ducker 

With the stresses and strains of 

life, sometimes you just need a 

weekend away to hit the reset 

button. I needed just that. 

Just a stone throw away from the stunning 

North Norfolk coast, The Hoste has been 

welcoming guests since 1651. Overlooking 

Burnham Market’s central green, the hotel 

makes the perfect destination 

for a coastal staycation. 

This Georgian resort is 

known as Chelsea-on-Sea, 

its beautiful high street is 

lined with period houses 

and independent shops, and 

a traditional butcher, baker and post office, 

ideal for both locals and visitors alike. 

A great Hoste… 

The Hoste is a 62-room hotel spread across 

three sites: the original inn, the Georgian-era 

Vine House, and Railway House, a former train 

station. 

The inn houses the main reception, dining 

62

FOOD FOOD FOOD & DRINK DRINK DRINK 


areas, a luxury spa and most of the bedrooms, 

there’s also 20-seat cinema! 

All rooms at The Hoste are individually 

designed, as a special treat we opted for a 

Divine room, which was elegantly decorated 

and extremely comfortable. 

The Hoste is dog friendly spot, so upon arrival 

we sat next to the pub’s roaring fire, whilst 

making friends with a couple of spaniels, what 

a treat! It’s great for those who love to travel 

with their four-legged friends, especially in 

this area, with so many lovely walks around. 

Award winning dining… 

After a quick freshen up, it was time to dine 

at its two AA-rosette restaurant. The Hoste 

is home to an award-winning restaurant 

facilitated by a stylish panelled dining room 

with menus change regularly. This approach 

celebrates the region’s produce by using the 

finest locally sourced ingredients possible. 

With such an appealing menu it makes the 

choice more difficult! I was impressed with 

the imaginative menu created by head chef 

Trevor Clark, but even more impressed with 

his appearance halfway through our meal. 

With an unimposing introduction he added a 

personal touch to our dining experience, plus, 

it was wonderful to be able to tell him how 

much we enjoyed the food. 

Breakfast in the morning is served in either of 

the two restaurants. In addition to the 

63


lavish buffet breakfast (included in the room 

price) are cooked breakfast options including 

roasted chestnut mushrooms on brioche or 

avocado on sourdough. 

The Lunch menu is served every day between 

12-00pm & 6-00pm, or if you can 

wait, indulge in The Hoste full 

afternoon tea for £16. On fine 

weather days you can dine 

alfresco on the lawn. 

Relax and Unwind… 

The hotel’s spa has two 

treatment rooms using 

products by Espa. 

During my stay I was treated to a 

mum to be pregnancy massage, which after 

14 weeks of being turned down at various 

salons, it was great to find somewhere who 

had a qualified therapist to treat me. 

You could have just the one treatment or you 

could book in for the whole day. The choice 

is yours. Treatments include a facial, full-body 

massage, manicure, use of the hot tub 

and a two-course lunch with wine 

for £170. 

Things to do… 

This area is not short of 

beautiful places to visit. Take 

a trip to nearby Brancaster 

Beach, run by the National Trust, 

with its four miles of golden sandy 

beaches and dunes. 

Or how about a stroll at Holkham? You can 

64

FOOD & DRINK 


visit the National Nature Reserve, one of the 

largest in the country, and home to many 

rare species of flora and fauna. 

If you don’t want to stray too far away 

from the hotel, as well as the spa, gym 

and cinema, The Hoste has its own on-site 

Nelson museum, Nelson Lodge. Artefacts 

include a leather bucket from HMS Victory, 

letters written by Horatio Nelson and a lifesize 

model. 

Lord Admiral Nelson used to drink at The 

Hoste, but that’s not the hotels only claim to 

fame, it was rumoured the Kate and William 

have also been spotted sipping on local drinks 

at the bar. 

The verdict… 

With welcoming staff, outstanding food and the 

ideal base for exploring the North Norfolk coast, 

as well as the county’s many stately homes 

and picturesque villages, The Hoste makes the 

perfect host. I am looking forward to my next 

visit back in the summer.

BEN 

HAENOW 

We speak to 

Ben about his 

UK acoustic tour 

visiting Norwich 

this month... 

70

FEATURE 

APRIL 2019 APRIL | ISSUE 2019 | #78 ISSUE | #78 BEN HAENOW 

Following the release of his 

second studio album ‘Alive’, Ben 

Haenow has announced that he 

will be touring the UK again in 

April 2019. 

The charismatic singer-songwriter, who rose 

to prominence as the winner of The X Factor 

in 2014, has performed to enormous crowds 

over the years but has now decided to strip 

everything back for his fourth headline tour. 

Armed with his signature rock-infused 

vocals, Ben will be playing 

acoustic sets at intimate 

venues across the country. 

The tour promises to 

be incredibly special 

as fans can expect 

to hear previously 

unheard 

renditions of 

several songs. 

Rachel Ducker 

speaks to Ben 

about his show 

in Norwich. 

IT’S BEEN 

ALMOST A 

YEAR SINCE WE 

LAST SPOKE WITH 

YOU – WHAT HAVE YOU 

BEEN UP TO? 

I’ve just been writing, doing a lot of 

shows and getting ready for this acoustic 

tour, so a lot of prep. 

SPEAKING OF YOUR ACOUSTIC TOUR, 

I HEAR YOU’RE STOPPING BY US IN 

NORWICH EPIC STUDIOS THIS MONTH, CAN 

YOU TELL US MORE ABOUT THAT? 

Yes, this time round is my fourth headline 

tour, I have done the last three with a full 

band and I guess I wanted to do something 

different this time round, so we stripped 

everything back and it will be just me and 

my brother with acoustic guitars and a bit 

of vocal. So it’s a different vibe really for 

people who have seen the shows before. 

BY NOW YOU’VE HAD A LOT OF 

EXPERIENCE PERFORMING, HOW ARE YOU 

EXPECTING IT WITHOUT A BAND? 

I guess excited, it’s a different experience for 

me without being surrounded by a whole 

band. I will play more guitar on this tour, so 

it’s a little nerve-racking, I am trying to get 

the practice in! 

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO 

NORWICH BEFORE? 

Yes, I have! We played 

there on the last tour 

its was fantastic fun, 

Norwich is a lovely 

place. 

IT IS! I’M NOT 

BIASED BUT… 

[laughs] 

SO YOU WILL 

HAVE YOUR 

BROTHER ON 

TOUR WITH 

YOU, WILL JESS 

AND THE FAMILY 

BE JOINING YOU 

ON ANY OF THOSE 

DATES? 

My family are going to be at a couple 

of the shows, particularly the one that’s 

closer to home in Brighton, which is the last 

date of the tour, so I think everyone will pop 

along to that one. 

AFTER THE TOUR FINISHES WHAT ARE 

YOUR PLANS? ANY WHISPERS OF NEW 

ALBUM? WHAT CAN WE LOOK FORWARD 

TO? 

Yeah for sure, more recently I have been in 

with some great producers and songwriters, 

trying to experiment with new sounds 

71

APRIL 2019 APRIL | ISSUE 2019 | #78 ISSUE | BEN #78 HAENOW 

and find a new direction, so there are no 

immediate plans to rush anything out. I’m 

enjoying being creative again. 

MANY PEOPLE WILL KNOW YOU FROM 

WINNING THE X FACTOR, WHICH IS AN 

AMAZING ACHIEVEMENT, HAVE YOU 

MANAGED TO SHAKE THAT LABEL YET? BY 

THAT, I MEAN, DO PEOPLE STILL SEE YOU 

AS THE X FACTOR GUY? 

Yeah, I am not trying to consciously 

shake that label; I think that’s going to be 

quite hard, as like you say, that is where 

people know me from. So I don’t know that I 

will ever escape that, but what I am trying to 

show people is that hopefully I am a credible 

artist and not just a guy on TV doing these 

covers. 

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO SOMEBODY 

WHO IS LOOKING TO START A CAREER IN 

MUSIC? 

I’d say go for it – you’ve definitely got to be 

passionate about it. As the industry goes, 

its quite cut throat and its hard, you can 

get knocked back a lot you’ve got to have 

confidence and be resilient, but also be 

prepared to put in some hard work. 

WHAT IS YOUR THE FAVOURITE PART OF 

YOUR JOB? 

I think live performance is probably my 

favourite thing, getting out playing to people 

and seeing the reaction from them. 

I take my inspiration from general life really 

and it’s been great to see all the support 

people show me on social media; it keeps my 

spirits high and it keeps me going. 

SO FOR ANYONE WHO’S THINKING OF 

COMING ALONG TO THE NORWICH GIG, 

CAN YOU GIVE US A FEW REASONS TO 

PERSUADE THEM… 

First of all if its people from outside of 

Norwich come down to Norwich because it’s 

an incredible place! For people in Norwich 

who have never seen me play before, give 

me a chance, do you know what I mean, just 

come and have a good night with us! We 

have some local support acts, it’s something 

different! 

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME BEN, WE’D 

LOVE TO POP ALONG AND SEE YOU AT 

EPIC, BABY HUNT TOO, WE FOUND OUT 

YESTERDAY WE ARE HAVING A LITTLE 

BOY, IN FACT YOU ARE ONE OF THE FIRST 

PEOPLE I’VE JUST TOLD! 

No way… [laughs] I’m so honoured, 

congratulations that’s incredible. 

I CAN PERSONALLY DELIVER YOU A 

BOUNCE MAGAZINE THIS TIME! 

Well, I hope to see you all down there. 

For tickets see www.benhaenow-official.com 

WHAT IS THE AVERAGE DAY LIKE FOR 

YOU AT THE MOMENT WITH TOUR 

PREPARATIONS? 

It’s cool, it’s a lot of time spent sitting with my 

brother, and as much as that’s nice, brothers 

do argue every now and then! So we are 

trying to keep things calm, no Chinese burns 

and stuff like that. I get up go to the gym, 

meet my brother and we work out variations 

of the songs and adapt them to an acoustic 

format.

Sometimes it’s tricky 

second time around... 

We are all aware of how difficult it is to get on the 

property ladder first time around, but what happens 

when you’re ready to move again? 

We know investing in your first home doesn’t necessarily 

guarantee financial security when moving up the property 

ladder. Research shows it’s often a jump of well over 

£100,000 when moving from first to second home posing 

a challenge when building enough equity in your home to 

make the second step. 

when you are unable to rely on Bank of 

Mum and Dad? 

The Cambridge Building Society can 

help... 

People tend to think of a low deposit 

mortgage – one that needs a 5% deposit 

– as a product specifically for First Time 

Buyers. However, whether it is your first, 

second or third home, our low deposit 

products are available to all, with the very 

aim to help those who need that extra 

support and who are not able to rely on 

other financial means. 

With this in mind, it’s not 

surprising that those who 

needed financial support 

when buying their first 

home might still need some 

assistance second time 

around. This is usually where 

the Bank of Mum and Dad comes 

in to save the day, but what happens

WHAT HAPPENS IF I WANT TO 

CHANGE MY LOAN?... 

When you remortgage you can change 

your requirements, such as: 

If you’ve got a 

mortgage you’ve 

probably heard the term ‘remortgage’. 

Find out more about what it means and 

what your options are. 

WHAT IS A REMORTGAGE?... 

A remortgage is simply switching your 

mortgage deal to a new one, continuing to 

use your property as security against the 

loan. 

You can remortgage with your existing 

provider or with a different lender. 

A remortgage typically takes place once 

your current mortgage product ends (this 

is usually a specific interest rate applied for 

two or three years, or longer). You should 

check the terms of your current mortgage 

deal carefully to make sure you are aware 

of the end date and any fees, charges or 

penalties which may apply to move your 

mortgage. 

• Increasing the amount borrowed - 

for example to use the funds for home 

improvements or gift a deposit to help a 

family member onto the housing ladder 

• Reducing the amount borrowed - using 

savings to pay off some of the previous 

loan. 

• Amending the ‘term’ (length) - 

typically you will have lower monthly 

repayments if you opt for a longer term, 

but you will pay back more interest in total 

than if you choose a shorter term with 

higher monthly repayments. 

Whatever your circumstances, it’s 

important to get a mortgage that fits your 

own individual needs. 

At Ipswich Building Society we offer free, 

no-obligation mortgage advice through 

our team of Mortgage Consultants. If 

you’re looking for a mortgage with us 

we’ll do our best to find the right one for 

you. Give us a call on 0330 123 0773 or

A Mindful 

SPRING CLEAN 

A friend of mine recently 

asked if I had ever meditated. 

I hadn’t and asked why they 

were asking. Well I’m very glad 

BY I RUBY asked… REED 

Of course I knew what 

meditating was. 

Or did I? 

I knew of the general pose and how 

it was supposed to be good for 

wellbeing, right? 

Hmm. It seems there is actually a 

lot more to it, most interestingly the 

scientifically proven benefits! 

I had a little research about what 

I was getting myself into (after 

having promised my friend I would 

give it a go). 

First things first, lets clarify what 

meditation is. Meditation is actually 

a simple process. A basic form of 

meditation is breathing meditation. 

This is where you focus on your 

breathing pattern and only that. 

Each time your concentration wanders on to something 

else, you simply bring it back to your breathing. Repeat this 

endlessly for the desired amount of time. 

The point of this is that every time you pull your attention back 

to your breathing, you’re developing what we will call your 

‘attention control’. After time, your concentration, attention 

span and overall focus on day to day activity will increase and 

improve. 

Some of the really worthwhile benefits worth noting are; 

• Meditation has intense calming effects- great to relieve stress. 

• Recharges the brain so you have more energy throughout the 

day. 

• It’s been proven that people who meditate need less sleep. 

• Meditation makes your brain age slower and increases the 

amount of grey matter in your brain. (Grey matter is responsible 

84

APRIL 2019 APRIL | 2019 ISSUE | ISSUE #78 | #78 LIFESTYLE 

for muscle control, seeing, 

hearing, memory, emotions, and 

speech!) 

• It also helps you to 

procrastinate less, resulting in 

getting more done in the same 

amount of time! 

• Meditation helps your mind 

evaluate your thoughts so 

you can make better sense of 

them by stepping away to gain 

perspective. 

So what do I need? A timer (just 

ten minutes a day will suffice!) 

and a cushion. And how do I sit? 

• Cross your legs in front of you- 

If you’re uncomfortable on the 

floor. Use a chair, don’t worry 

about too many rules. 

• Your back straight- This keeps 

you alert. 

• Eyes closed- If you’re tired and start to find 

yourself drifting off when you close your eyes, It’s 

suggested opening them slightly to direct your 

gaze gently on a space on the floor. 

• Don’t worry about your hands- Wherever they 

are comfortable is fine. If you want to form the 

circles with your fingers and thumbs you can! 

• Look slightly downward- It opens up your chest. 

• These are guidelines to your unique personal 

position. The aim is to find one that allows you to 

be alert but relaxed at the same time. 

I hope you find the benefits rewarding!

APRIL 2019 APRIL | ISSUE 2019 | #78 ISSUE | #78 HISTORY 

Norwich 

Easter Fairs... 

Norwich had been 

granted Charters by many 

Kings for fairs to be held 

in certain places and the 

last three were Tombland 

fair, which took place 

on the Thursday before 

Easter. 

A fair at Bishop’s Bridge was 

held on the Monday and 

Tuesday in Easter week along 

with the Monday and Tuesday 

in Whitsun week. 

The Tombland fairs were 

granted by a Charter from 

the cathedral convert which 

in its time became a source 

of anger and resentment 

between the monks and 

citizens of Norwich as the 

monks refused to allow 

the citizens to enjoy their 

privileges which included the 

fact that Tombland and Holm 

Street were exempted from 

the magistrates of the city. 

This was latter contended 

that the charter by King 

Richard I which meant that 

all of the city was within the 

authority. 

Because of this, riots took 

place, the first being at the 

Whit-Sunday fair in 1272. It 

was estimated that 32,000 

people were involved, and 

people were killed. People 

were dragged off and put 

to death in the city, other 

people were imprisoned and 

everything from the cathedral 

was looted. Citizens were 

hanged, and the city was 

fined £2,000. 

By 1306, King Edward I made 

a ruling that the grounds be 

divided in half for every fair, 

so the citizens could build 

their stalls and pay no fees. 

When the dissolution was 

over, King Henry VIII gave 

the city liberty the rights to 

hold a fair from the eve of 

Whitsunday, to end a day 

after Trinity Sunday. 

The Tombland fair sold toys 

along with a variety of cakes 

and biscuits and the fair 

which traded horses and 

cattle was held at the same 

on the Castle Ditches. This 

fair was originally held on 

Good Friday but later held 

on the Thursday prior to 

Easter. A smaller fair was held 

by Bishop’s Bridge was also 

known as the Pleasure Fairs. 

There was a previous fair for 

horses and cattle that took 

pace on Lammasday 

at Lakenham 

near Hertford bridges. 

The Tombland fair in its 

originality remained until 1686 

when it was moved to Castle 

Hill. 

A biscuit called ‘Fair Buttons’ 

or ‘Norfolk Fair Buttons’ was 

only made for the Tombland 

fair and could not be found at 

any other time of the year. 

An original recipe would be 

as follows; 

8 oz. four 

4 oz. brown sugar 

1/4 oz. ground ginger 

Pinch of bicarbonate of soda 

2 oz. lard (which could be 

substituted with either butter 

or a dairy free product) 

4 oz. golden syrup 

To cook in a kitchen of today’s 

standard you would set the 

oven to 200°c. Mix the flour, 

sugar, ginger, bicarbonate 

of soda with the lard or 

substitute until it resembles 

fine bread crumbs. After 

adding the syrup to the mix 

and mixing you will then roll 

out the mix very thinly onto 

a floured surface and then 

cut into 2-inch rounds and 

then place the rounds onto 

a greased baking sheet and 

cook for 12 minutes.

Skin care expert Geraldine Walters gives the low 

down on the A-Z of what’s in your bottles... 

[C] Vitamin C – Nature’s boost to skin health 

in all its forms... 

It looks like vitamins are going 

to be a recurring feature in 

this series about skincare 

ingredients, so perhaps we 

should define exactly what a 

vitamin is. 

So, keeping it simple, a vitamin is an 

organic molecule that is an essential 

nutrient your body needs in small 

amounts for the proper functioning of its 

metabolism. 

That is, it’s a substance you must have for 

your body to work properly. You have to 

get them from what you eat because we 

don’t make them ourselves. 

As for Vitamin C (probably the best 

known vitamin and most researched in 

2017), it has a range of super powers but 

it also comes in a range of disguises when 

it adopts different forms and there are 

several different types of vitamin C that are 

used in skincare products. For avid label 

readers these include: L-ascorbic acid, 

ascorbyl palmitate and retinyl ascorbate. 

The former has the most scientific research 

surrounding its benefits and is deemed ‘the 

queen’ of vitamin C. L-ascorbic acid boosts 

collagen production and smooths and 

firms skin, as well as fending off photoageing. 

That is, basically, ageing from ultra violet 

light, or sun damage. Ascorbic Acid is a 

powerful free radical scavenger and in its 

form of Ascorbyl Palmitate, Vitamin C 

can inhibit the production of melanin so 

reducing pigmentation and brightening the 

skin. 

Additionally, Vitamin C can boost collagen. 

It appears to strengthen the protein’s 

strands, making them firmer and more 

resilient. 

And it’s a myth that any type of vitamin C 

in your moisturising serum and lotion will

disease. Hence the nickname for the Brits 

as Limeys. 

And it’s worth noting, for all the fruit and 

veg haters, that scurvy is only a risk if you 

don’t have enough vitamin C in your diet 

for at least three months. 

But remember that pregnancy, 

breastfeeding and illness cause a hike in 

the amount of vitamin C your body needs. 

offer some skin benefit. Note how, when 

antioxidants are exposed to light and air, 

they breakdown (see how fast an apple 

oxidises when it’s cut in half). 

So it’s best to buy products that come in 

air-tight packaging and pumps. Clinical 

skincare will often use pure Ascorbic Acid 

in a powder form that is only activated 

when mixed with a liquid solution. This 

ensures your treatment comes with knockout 

results. 

And smokers (does anyone still smoke?), 

you’re more at risk of a vitamin C 

deficiency as this reduces the body’s 

absorption. But deficiency also causes 

bruising, blocked follicles and bleeding 

gums. 

So stock up your fruit bowl and add a little 

zest into your life. 

And what happens if you don’t have 

enough Vitamin C? Well, there’s scurvy of 

course, a disease once widespread among 

fruit-deprived sailors in the Victorian 

era who were given limes to prevent the

Not all body treatments are created equal... 

We have all seen body treatments and wraps 

advertised at spas and salons and many of us 

will have tried them out, but are they all the 

same? How do we choose what is best for our 

individual needs and concerns? 

I have had various body treatments in the past, 

including a wrap or two. I’ve also spoken to friends, 

family and colleagues about their experiences and 

what they like and don’t like in a wrap. The major 

dislike was being wrapped up (unable to move) and 

left alone in the room. 

Having looked at the Pevonia treatments, I was 

impressed to see that they include so much more than 

many other salons. Their therapists are trained never to 

leave the room during a treatment. Instead, while the 

products are sinking into the body and creating their 

magic, the therapists will perform a massage. 

A little more about that later. 

Pevonia trains therapists, across the world, to deliver 

the most relaxing and effective treatments. The 

emphasis is on wellness – for the skin, body and mind. 

Natural ingredients are used to create a change in 

the skin and produce visible and professional results. 

Botanical and marine ingredients are combined with 

advanced technology for optimum de-ageing and 

unparalleled rejuvenation. 

The Pevonia body range includes: 

o Speciality Body Care Treatments 

o Body Wraps 

o Massage 

o Exfoliation 

o Hands and Feet 

o Therapy for Mums 

I love the Aromatic Moor Mud Tension Relief 

treatments – available for the back or whole body. 

The warmed moor mud, sourced from Northern 

Canada, has taken 40,000 years to develop and 

contains numerous vitamins, minerals and trace 

elements. There’s no need to be concerned about a 

‘muddy smell’ either, as this beautiful product is infused 

with Pine Essential Oil and Rosemary, which produces 

a very pleasant almond-like smell. The other wraps that 

I count amongst my favourites, are: 

The Cellu-Smooth Green Coffee Wrap helps to 

slim and tone your body via cutting-edge cellulite 

treatment. 100% pure micronised green coffee; 

naturally rich in chlorogenic acid, polysaccharides, 

proteins and essential oils, smooths and enhances the 

skin’s overall texture. This wrap stimulates your body’s 

ability to break down fat, increase metabolism and 

eliminate water retention. It visibly reduces spongy, 

dimply, cellulitic areas. 

Stem Cells Phyto-Elite Intensive Body Contouring 

Wrap is an exquisite 3-in-1 exfoliating, contouring, and 

regenerating wellness experience. It infuses your skin 

with the latest de-ageing actives and natural argan and 

comfrey plant stem cells, blended with green coffee, 

avocado, shea butter and other potent ingredients. 

Proven to dissolve unwanted fat and cellulitic deposits 

while reducing skin sagging and repairing sun damage. 

With all wraps, it is recommended that clients have a 

course of six treatments to experience the best results. 

This will be further enhanced by following a healthy 

eating plan, taking regular exercise and completing a 

good home care routine. I tend to use my body brush 

and the Pevonia body creams at home.

Be Bold LIKE JESSICA RABBIT... 

This Easter add a bit of spring to your 

make up with Ciates ‘Jessica Rabbit’ range 

with the most glistening, sparkling red lipstick 

you will ever own. 

Unlike Jessica rabbit, this lipsticks sticks 

around. 

The range also includes a highlighter and an 

eyeshadow palette that are as vivacious as 

spring. 

Do you want to be bold and 

stand out like Jessica to nab 

yourself your very own funny 

bunny? 

Try Illamasqua’s iconic 

chromes and jewel vinyl 

eyeshadows you can use 

anywhere on your body. With such 

strong pigments you’ll be dazzling the 

sparkle in everyone’s eyes. 

Sticking with the Easter theme, if you haven’t 

already tried one, I’d suggest a beauty 

blender! With the egg like shape, it helps you 

blend in any area including the creases by 

your nose. Just like Easter eggs they come in 

an array of colours and sizes. 

Wanting that perfect skin? 

Dior have doubled my all-time favourite 

foundation, Dior Forever foundation. You can 

now get in a matte or a glow finish. With a 

24 hour long lasting full coverage that looks 

natural, what more could you want? 

Jessica rabbit is a bit flirty, Easter reminds us 

of new beginnings and the weather is lighter 

and brighter. Finish your look with Dior’s 

new Miss Dior EDT. With notes of 

citrus, grasse rose, lily of the valley 

and patchouli, it’s fresh. 

Want to try something new? 

Take a tip from Jessica Rabbit. Be 

bold, be the beautiful person you are 

and remember to laugh. A smile is the 

best beauty accessory you can have.

Top 4 Ingredients to Care for Mature Skin... 

The guide to aging gracefully 

isn’t written in stone. There are 

no hard and fast rules that work 

for everyone. Diet, environment 

and your skincare regime all 

play their part. 

However there are many things that we can do to 

keep our mature skin healthy and looking fabulous! 

There are particular ingredients that help to reduce 

the familiar signs of aging. Common giveaway 

signs such as wrinkles around the eyes and mouth, 

blemishes, age spots, thinning or dull skin can all 

be improved with the right care. 

Argan Oil... 

Top on my list of ingredients to care for mature 

skin is Argan Oil. It’s my absolute favourite oil. It’s 

incredibly pure, naturally healing and has barely 

any scent at all. It makes an brilliant carrier oil for 

other ingredients too, if you’re looking to create a 

super blend for yourself. 

Argan Oil can be applied from top to toe. It makes 

a wonderful face serum helping to reduce the 

appearance of unwanted lines, wrinkles, blemishes, 

age spots, and dry skin. Giving a fresh healthy 

glow. It’s a true bathroom essential as its also an 

amazing treatment for burns, bites, scars and 

stretchmarks. 

Coffee... 

When we think of coffee, we instantly think

HAIR & BEAUTY 


morning pick me up. Although as a drink coffee can 

dehydrate us, the coffee grains actually carry a lot of 

goodness. 

They also act as a wonderful exfoliator! Antioxidant rich, 

coffee has been known to slow down the effects of aging 

when applied to the skin. The act of exfoliating removes 

dead skin cells and replenishes skin encouraging a fresher, 

brighter appearance. 

Turmeric... 

Not just a wonderful cooking ingredient, Turmeric is also 

full of antioxidants and skin loving compounds. 

Studies show that turmeric can act as an anti aging 

ingredient to keep your skin healthy and looking youthful. 

It can be found in a variety of products, not just creams. 

It has anti-inflammatory qualities and can help cases of 

hyperpigmentation and even scarring. 

consider treating our body holistically. 

For example we can apply an eye cream 

to help reduce the appearance of bags or 

dark circles under our eyes but ensuring we 

get enough sleep every night will have a 

significant effect too. 

Equally our mental and emotional state can 

influence our skin, causing breakouts or flare 

ups in autoimmune issues as an example. 

Need advice? 

Contact us on info@funkyskincare.com and 

we will be happy to offer you advice and 

recommendations of which products are 

right for you. Written by Sarah Gare. 

Turmeric can be found in our Urban Veda Radiance range, 

particularly effective on dull and dry skin. 

Rosehip... 

There is quite a distinctive smell to Rosehip oil, in its 

natural form it’s not as sweet as you’d expect and is more 

earthy. 

Much like turmeric, Rosehip oil is very effective on scars 

and blemishes it penetrates the skin on a deeper level 

improving the moisture levels and repairing the layers to 

keep your skin looking younger for longer. 

Less is more... 

There is a huge huge list of ingredients that could help 

your skin stay healthy and young in appearance. I truly 

believe less is more when it comes to skincare. Less 

ingredients, higher quality. 

Therefore if the skincare world baffles you and brings you 

out in a cold sweat about where to start, the very best 

place to begin is with an all natural skincare regime. 

Chemicals such as SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) often 

found in non natural skincare can be an irritant to the skin 

and can cause dry skin too, this is a hot ingredient to avoid 

along with the parabens family too. 

The holistic approach... 

Aside from the products we apply to our skin it’s wise to

SUNSHINE AND SHOWERS 

BY KATE LINES 

Kate’s Top Tip : Take cuttings of your 

favourite conifers. 

Spring is finally in evidence as 

daffodils and flowering trees start 

to bloom. 

Expect the inevitable April showers this month 

but with sunny days too, when you can turn your 

attention to the lawn. 

It’s an exciting month, with indoor-sown seeds 

well into growth, and it’s also time to start sowing 

outdoors. Just watch out for frosts... 

Deadhead daffodils and narcissi; give them a liquid 

feed or a sprinkling of bonemeal and then let them 

die down. Don’t cut off the leaves as they are 

necessary to replenish the bulb for next year. 

Keep deadheading spring bedding to keep it looking 

neat, and to encourage new flowers. 

Now the soil is warming up and things are starting to 

grow, add general purpose fertiliser before covering 

with mulch especially in borders, the fruit and 

vegetable patch and containers. 

Carry on removing moss and weeds from paths, 

terraces and drives. 

Make new beds and borders - mark the shape with 

sand trickled from a bottle, remove the top layer 

of growing vegetation and dig the ground over, 

incorporating as much organic matter as possible. If 

you are making a bed in the lawn, remove the turf – if 

you dig it in the buried grass will regrow.

HOME & GARDEN 


Top jobs this month: 

1. Keep weeds under control 

6. Increase the water given to houseplants 

2. Protect fruit blossom from late frosts 

7. Feed hungry shrubs and roses 

3. Tie in climbing and rambling roses 

8. Sow new lawns or repair bare patches 

4. Sow hardy annuals and herb seeds 

9. Prune fig trees 

5. Start to feed citrus plants 

10. Divide bamboos and waterlilies

SUFFOLK WEIGHTLIFTING CLUB... 

BY ROSS “ACTION MAN” WISHART 

If I said Olympic Weightlifting 

you may conjure up an image 

of a stocky chap in a leotard, 

squealing as he tosses a weight, 

equivalent to that of a small 

family hatchback, above his head. 

the usual positive side effects that comes from 

regular exercise. 

So, I donned my standard gym attire, (leotards 

not required), and joined Suffolk Weightlifting 

Club who train at Grange Fitness & Performance 

Centre in Martlesham (IP5 3RH) under the 

tutelage of head coach Tom Hudson along with 

qualified colleagues Stuart Bell and Jen Weeks. 

However, did you know that static strength 

training is actually one of the most efficient 

forms of exercise. Heavy lifting gives the 

circulatory system a better workout because 

the oxygen expenditure is more intense. The 

NHS recommends a strength based training 

regime to help combat muscle and bone mass 

loss that comes with age. 

Muscle burns more calories than fat and it’s also 

proven to help with back pain, balance plus all 

If you’ve watched any lifting in the Olympics then 

you’ll be familiar with the competition movements 

of... 

Snatch: in which you bring the bar from the floor 

to above your head in one swift motion. 

Clean & Jerk: broken up into two movements 

you’ll lift (or ‘clean’) the bar up to the top of your 

chest and then lunge out and jerk the bar up 

above your head. 

104


SPORT 

Other lifts include the deadlifts, squats, plus 

several variations of all of these adjusting the 

starting and finishing positions allowing you to 

focus on certain areas. 

The club operates an 10 week training program 

but you don’t have to wait for the next cycle and 

can jump in at any time. The first 8 weeks will 

focus on the lifting techniques whilst building 

strength by adjusting the number of repetitions 

and weight, in the ninth week you’ll attempt a 

your heaviest 1 repetition of each lift, this is a 

great benchmark for all novices and really gives 

you something to target. The eighth week will be 

a well earned rest giving your body sufficient time 

to recover before the next program begins. 

Regular readers may note that I’ve often 

mentioned my diminutive yet somewhat robust 

frame, (aka a barrel), so perhaps I’m built for 

lifting! It certainly seemed that way, not overly 

technically proficient, but I was able to deliver 

a snatch followed by a clean & jerk and seem to 

have found a forte in the squat, all spurred on by 

the great friendly and welcoming group of the 

Suffolk Weightlifting Club. There’s a wonderful 

feeling of satisfaction as you hold aloft a mass 

of barbell and plates above your head akin to 

proudly hoisting a trophy and I can feel the 

benefits of a workout without being left in a 

gasping for air, sweaty, cardio’ed mess. 

I’d seriously recommend you consider some 

strength training and be it for fun, for fitness or 

if you’d like to consider competing in national 

events then Suffolk Weightlifting Club is the 

perfect environment for you, join them at Grange 

Fitness Monday & Wednesday evenings 7:30 - 

9:00 and Saturday mornings 10:30-12:00. 

Action Man says: get that weight shifting 

with Olympic Weightlifting!

IN THE SPOTLIGHT... 

CASWELL 

MUSIC 

Suffolk-based Caswell grew up in 

South London with her then punkrocker, 

now vinyl dealer, mother. 

Armed with her first microphone as a 

toddler, she subsequently taught herself the 

piano and began to write songs at just ten 

years old. Drawing from influences such as 

Kate Bush, Jeff Buckley and Nina Simone, 

she’s honed herself a signature sound; 

downtempo electronic soul and pop mixed 

with a tangible jazz influence. 

“Writing is very much a form of catharsis 

for me”, says Caswell. “I like having created 

something positive like a song out of 

something negative that has happened”. 

Caswell signed out of 2017 with the release 

of her debut EP The Shadow Aspect and 

500,000+ Spotify streams under her belt 

as well as features on Spotify playlists 

Fresh Finds, New Music Friday and Chilled 

Pop Hits. She’s since been championed by 

BBC Introducing as well as key online taste 

makers who cite her as “a viral success” 

(Clash Magazine) and “London’s newest 

Superstar” (Wonderland Magazine). 

She’s had support from Amazing Radio, 

Reprezent Radio, Talk Radio and FUBAR 

Radio and TV is no stranger to her either, 

with track ‘Dance Sober’ being synced 

on ITV with a special mention from Holly 

Willoughby as “What ‘This Morning’ is 

loving at the moment”. 

Live, Caswell is able to captivate audiences 

and it’s during these moments that she 

takes the opportunity to really connect 

with them. 2018 was her best summer yet, 

having played a string of live UK festival 

dates including being featured as a festival 

highlight on the official Latitude website 

after a performance on Huw Stephen’s Lake 

Stage. She’s also previously supported Pixie 

Geldof and Arlissa around the UK, along 

with performing in venues from The Apple 

Store and National Portrait Gallery to XOYO 

and St Pancras Old Church. 

Caswell is gearing up for the launch of 

her sophomore EP Blindside, out on April 

5th with support in funding from The 

PRS Foundation’s Women Make Music 

award. It showcases her knack for writing 

sophisticated pop and her symbolic and 

literal voice is clear and convincing with 

an emotional maturity beyond her years. 

This, paired with an undeniable grit and 

determination, means that Caswell is an 

artist for the ages just now finding her 

time.

Adventures 

ON THE BROADS... 

Time to get out and about now 

that winter is over... 

Thank goodness for the spring weather... that only 

means one thing, more walkies! With summer fast 

approaching there are so many great things to do in 

Norfolk and Suffolk. 

With thanks to Herbert Woods in Potter Heigham, I 

was able to enjoy the wind in my fur as we set off for 

an adventure on the Norfolk Broads whilst on board 

a dog friendly picnic boat. 

If you are thinking of such a trip, here are my top tips 

to keep your four legged friend safe on the water... 

Get a Life Jacket... 

I was kindly provided with one from Herbert Woods 

as they take safety very seriously. You may think 

your dog is a strong swimmer, but depending on 

the conditions, including weather and currents, you 

could face problems. If you need to pull your dog 

out of the water, you need something to grab onto, 

better safe than sorry! 

hand discourages dogs from drinking water from a 

stream, pond, or lake. 

Extra Towels or a Mat... 

Find a place that’s out of the way and in the shade 

that your dog can rest when he needs a break from 

the sun. A mat can also help a dog that’s slipping on 

the deck of a boat feel more secure and comfortable. 

The movements of dogs and boats don’t always 

align. 

Never Leave them Alone... 

Just like a child, you should never leave a dog 

unattended in the water–even for a minute. Dogs 

can drown, too, so you’ll want to supervise his 

swimming at all times.

A Water Bowl... 

We pant a lot! You should always have clean water 

available for your dog. Clean water, of course, is 

meant to prevent dehydration, but having plenty on
