of summertime, then you will love this edition of<br />

Well hello there! I’m back with my monthly column… OK, so firstly a reminder<br />
about me. I’m Zena (Zee for short), I’m 45, a mother and a grandmother.<br />
Well, hello one and all, is that the<br />
sunshine I spy?<br />
New Look has some great styles and all<br />
under £25.00.<br />
You don’t need me to tell<br />
you our British weather<br />
can be a bit hit and miss.<br />
However, on the good<br />
days we are lucky to<br />
get jeans and t-shirt<br />
weather and I’ve found<br />
some little bargains in<br />
H&M, my favourite being<br />
a leopard print tee. They<br />
are only 3.99 so stock up.<br />
I also love the Denim styles out there<br />
again, to wear on those fairer days<br />
with some chunky pumps or trainers.<br />
I’ve also been wedding<br />
outfit shopping as we have<br />
three big ones this year<br />
to attend. I’m going for<br />
a 1940’s style with some<br />
beautiful headgear made<br />
for me by the amazing<br />
Lizzy Hall Millinery. I’m<br />
really looking forward<br />
to wearing them.<br />
Pretty Kitty Fashion<br />
has some beautiful<br />
dresses at the moment<br />
for weddings. Speaking of weddings… I<br />
have a lot of ladies my age contact me<br />

about styling them for big events and<br />
weddings.<br />
This is something I might pursue this<br />
coming year so look out for my news<br />
about it over on the blog.<br />
I don’t know about you but I have to<br />
wear glasses.<br />
I need to share this find with you, I’ve<br />
found a company called ZeeLol online<br />
that have fantastic funky frames like<br />
the ones here.<br />
Get over and have a splurge, they<br />
have a great selection and I think<br />
glasses can be the cherry on the cake<br />
so get them right!<br />
I love these frames<br />
from ZeeLol online!<br />
In other news, I’m really excited to see<br />
there is a Mary Quant Exhibition at<br />
the V and A.<br />
Mary is my hair inspo so I must go.<br />
She was at the forefront of women’s<br />
fashion in the 60s and it will be a<br />
wonderful exhibit, tickets are £12.00,<br />
which I thought was brilliant.<br />
Whatever you’re doing this summer<br />
stay cool and stay stylish. Spend as<br />
little as possible and find your five key<br />
pieces. Keep it simple for the win.<br />
Mary Quant is my<br />
60s style icon!<br />
Stay stylish - Love Zee x<br />

Cecil Amey...<br />
imaging test which uses retinal photography to check<br />
for other conditions. Lastly, I was offered a hearing<br />
test to check my basic hearing, a new service offered<br />
at Cecil Amey.<br />
<strong>Bounce</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong> were kindly invited along<br />
to visit independent Optician, Cecil Amey<br />
in Norwich, for an eye examination and<br />
hearing test, here’s what we thought…<br />
“It’s been a few years since my last eye test, so its<br />
fair to say I was well overdue a check up.<br />
I was instantly impresed with Cecil Amey’s<br />
promptness and customer service; warmly greeted<br />
at the shop front I was led downstairs to the<br />
examination area.<br />
After passing over a<br />
few personal details,<br />
I went straight in to<br />
the pre-test room<br />
to carry out some<br />
routine examinations.<br />
This included tests to<br />
check my long and<br />
short vision, one to<br />
measure the internal<br />
eye pressure, plus,<br />
a state of the art<br />
Having passed all of these tests, with little wait, I was<br />
handed over to the optician who then performed<br />
further thorough checks on my eyes. She asked me to<br />
read the classic sight chart and also investigated my<br />
eyes through a piece of examination equipment,<br />
using a bright light to check for other signs of eye<br />
damage.<br />
After explaining the full<br />
examination with me, on this<br />
occasion no prescription<br />
was needed. I was delighted,<br />
but at the same time I was<br />
looking forward to viewing all<br />
of their lovely eye wear in the<br />
showroom!<br />
As far as tests go this one was a breeze, not just<br />
because I passed, but because of the care and<br />
attention I received whilst I was there. It really was<br />
that easy”.<br />
Cecil Amey are the largest independent<br />
opticians in East Anglia. The company<br />
has 8 practices, employing over 55 members<br />
of staff including over 25 expert opticians<br />
and 4 members of the Amey family.<br />
You can book an appointment online at<br />
www.cecilameyopticians.co.uk and pick a<br />
practice that is close to you.<br />

The Jockey Club Live and Newmarket<br />
Racecourses are delighted to announce<br />
the legendary NILE RODGERS & CHIC’s<br />
return to the July course, headlining<br />
the family-friendly Summer Saturday<br />
Live on Saturday 8th June 2019.<br />
Nile Rodgers is truly exceptional. He amplifies his<br />
legacy as a multiple GRAMMY-winning composer,<br />
producer, arranger and guitarist by constantly<br />
traversing new musical terrain and successfully<br />
expanding the boundaries of popular music. As<br />
the co-founder of CHIC, Rodgers pioneered a<br />
musical language that generated chart-topping<br />
hits like ‘Le Freak,’ sparked the advent<br />
of hip-hop with ‘Good Times,’ and<br />
won CHIC 11 Rock and Roll<br />
Hall of Fame nominations.<br />
His work in the CHIC<br />
Organization and his<br />
productions for artists<br />
like David Bowie<br />
(incl. ‘Lets Dance’),<br />
Diana Ross (incl.<br />
‘Upside Down’,<br />
‘I’m Coming Out’)<br />
and Madonna<br />
(incl. ‘Material<br />
Girl’, ‘Like A<br />
Virgin’) have<br />
sold over 300<br />
million albums and<br />
50 million singles<br />
worldwide while his<br />
innovative, trendsetting<br />
collaborations with<br />
Daft Punk, Avicii, Sigala,<br />
Disclosure and Sam Smith reflect<br />
the vanguard of contemporary music.<br />
Releasing their ninth studio album ‘It’s About<br />
Time’ in 2018, the release saw the band once<br />
again work the cream of the crop of the current<br />
music stars ranging from Mura Masa and Stefflon<br />
Don to Lady Gaga.<br />
Expect to hear some of the best-known pop<br />
anthems from the last four decades. With more<br />
than 200 production credits to his name, the<br />
scope of Nile Rodgers’ peerless influence is<br />
undeniable.<br />
Summer Saturday Live at Newmarket<br />
Racecourses is a day for the whole family, with<br />
Nile Rodgers & CHIC taking to the stage in<br />
the afternoon. There will be reduced priced<br />
children’s tickets aged 5-17 available when<br />
accompanied by a responsible adult of 18 or over,<br />
with children aged 4 and under are entitled to<br />
free admission.<br />

performance at this years Newmarket Nights...<br />
YOU HEADLINED TWO RACECOURSE SHOWS<br />
LAST YEAR, AT SANDOWN PARK AND<br />
NEWMARKET, DID YOU ENJOY THE SHOWS?<br />
Yeah for sure, it was the first time we had done<br />
anything like that and it was great, it<br />
was so much fun for us that we<br />
insisted, ‘How do we get this<br />
again?!’ They were so cool!<br />
YOU’RE GOING TO<br />
BE RETURNING TO<br />

DOES IT FEEL<br />
KNOWING THAT<br />
THERE WILL BE<br />
YOUNG FANS IN<br />
THE AUDIENCE<br />
HAVING THEIR<br />
FIRST EXPERIENCE<br />
OF A LIVE CONCERT?<br />
If I judge from what’s happened<br />
in the past, it’s wonderful! I’m always shocked<br />
at how many people know the music that<br />
I’ve worked on. It blows me away. I’ve been<br />
educated, I’ve been told they say ‘Of course<br />
this is my favourite song! It was in my favourite<br />
video game’, or favourite movie, and nowadays<br />
our music gets licensed and synched to so<br />
many other products, that we wind up getting<br />
a fanbase based on playlists that were created<br />
for this product or that product and its pretty<br />
amazing.<br />

MANY NEW WAYS TO CONSUME AND DISCOVER<br />
MUSIC.<br />
I know and it almost makes me - sometimes<br />
I feel embarrassed because they’ll look at me<br />
like ‘How did you not know’ and I’m like well of<br />
course I licensed it but I didn’t know that it would<br />
create a fan of the song - I’m thinking you’re<br />
doing it because you like the movie. When you’re<br />
a traditional old school composer and people<br />
consume your music in new school ways – even<br />
though I’ve been around, and I’ve been a part of<br />
all of the different phases of it, I’m shocked at how<br />
much penetration and internalization happens<br />
as a result of a different platform when it comes<br />
to consuming music. It feels weird to me so I’m<br />
thrilled but its always somewhat a bit of a shock!<br />
BECAUSE YOUR MUSIC TRANSCENDS THE<br />
GENERATIONS, YOU CAN TOUR WITH CHER<br />
BUT THEN WORK WITH DUA LIPA – AND WITH<br />
DUA BREAKING THROUGH, HER EXPERIENCE<br />
OF THE INDUSTRY WOULD HAVE BEEN A VERY<br />
DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE TO YOURS. YOU’VE<br />
BEEN WORKING WITH HER AT ABBEY ROAD<br />
STUDIOS; HOW HAVE THOSE SESSIONS BEEN<br />
GOING AND HOW DID YOU FIRST MEET?<br />
Well I first met her at the Brits a couple of years<br />
ago. In the course of giving out awards, she got<br />
one and we had a good time and laughed and<br />
joked and she was terrific. It was all cool. You<br />
know when you just meet a person and like them<br />
and there’s a vibe that they have, and you don’t<br />
know where it’s going to go. But somehow, we got<br />
into a studio and she was like ‘I have been wanting<br />
to do this for a while now’. I said ‘Well, let me just<br />
show you what we do and how we do it’ and it<br />
was amazing. It was just so great because it was<br />
really going back to the way that we used to make<br />
records. Nowadays a lot of people make records<br />
just on your laptop, and that’s become the main<br />
way that people work. I guess she never went in<br />
and made a record with a live band and<br />
people who were just constructing it from the<br />
ground up.<br />
YOU’VE WORKED WITH SOME OF THE<br />
GREATEST VOCALISTS BUT YOU’VE ALSO<br />
COLLABORATED WITH PRODUCERS LIKE<br />
DISCLOSURE, AVICII, SIGALA – IS IT A<br />
CONSISTENT LEARNING CURVE AS EACH<br />
CREATOR WILL BRING SOMETHING NEW TO<br />
THE TABLE?<br />
That’s why it’s so wonderful, yes, every person<br />
does bring something new to the table and<br />
it’s a give and take. People who grow up in an<br />
environment where the gear is so powerful that<br />
it becomes a real creative assistant, it becomes<br />
a real tool for them. In the last few months I’ve<br />
worked with a lot of new writers - especially<br />
women artists - which is really amazing to me,<br />
because now they’re recording their own vocals,<br />
they’re doing their own tracks, they’re making<br />
their own beats, and its not just a little pocket of<br />
exceptionally talented girls, it’s a vibe now. I’ve<br />
been working with girls who couldn’t have been<br />
more than 19 years old and they’ve never put<br />
anything out, but somehow, I got introduced to<br />
them through some really cool people who said<br />
‘you’ve just gotta check it out they are really cool’.<br />
We get into the studio, we start chatting, we get<br />
to know each other, and next thing you know, we<br />
tackle the music. We have a job to do and we love<br />
it, we love doing it, and you have no idea just how<br />
fun it is to just create something from nothing.<br />
WHEN YOU’RE WORKING WITH BRAND NEW<br />
ARTISTS WHO HAVEN’T NECESSARILY HAD<br />
THAT MUCH EXPOSURE, THEY MUST BE KEEN<br />
TO LEARN FROM ONE OF THE GREATS!<br />
Believe me when I tell you it’s reciprocal! I wrote<br />
a song the other day, I wrote the bassline, and I<br />
said ‘you know what, before I go any further, I’m<br />
going to give this to these two young girls that I<br />
met the other day who just had a flare, for writing<br />
really cool melodies’ and it was very similar to<br />
when I met Avicii. I met him one night, he was<br />
already a big star, I went to see one of his shows,<br />
went backstage to meet him and it was a mutual<br />
connection almost right away. We booked studio<br />
time right away, a couple of weeks later, and we<br />
were friends up until his unfortunate ending.<br />
I’m just really impressed with the level of talent<br />
that’s out there in today’s world, and its because<br />
they’ve become so computer savvy when it comes<br />
to working with technical gear that they don’t<br />
have to spend all the years that I’ve spent going to<br />
music school and learning theory and so on. Most<br />
people that I know that are really really big stars<br />
don’t actually even understand the fundamentals<br />
of music theory, they are just somehow able to<br />
make great music because they can step on the<br />
gear and do what they need to create and it’s<br />
wonderful.<br />
TECHNOLOGY HAS MADE THE EXPRESSION<br />
OF MUSIC SO MUCH MORE ACCESSIBLE, IF<br />

RODGERS<br />
SOMEONE DOESN’T HAVE THE THEORY BUT<br />
HAS A COMPUTER THEY CAN STILL BE HEARD.<br />
That’s exactly correct, I sort of think about it this<br />
way, if a person is in the room with a musical<br />
instrument, and they just have the desire to get<br />
something out of it, they’ll pick it up and start<br />
to figure something out – it may not be the<br />
traditional approach to that particular instrument<br />
but they will get something out of it because<br />
music does something to us. It creates a feeling<br />
inside of us that’s – you know, maybe I’m overly<br />
romantic – but it creates a feeling inside of us<br />
that’s so magical that once you experience that<br />
thing, and if it does that to you, you can’t help but<br />
want to keep doing it and keep doing it and then<br />
you get better and get better and next thing you<br />
know you wind up being a complete virtuoso and<br />
you go ‘oh my god, how do you have that guitar<br />
tuned?’ completely weird. Like, Ricky [Wilson],<br />
who was the main songwriter with the B-52s all<br />
those years ago with those weird tunings and<br />
stuff and you can only play those songs with<br />
those tunings!<br />
WITH YOUR ‘IT’S ABOUT TIME’ ALBUM; YOU<br />
CHAMPIONED SUCH A WEALTH OF BRITISH<br />
TALENT ON THERE FROM NAO TO EMELI<br />
SANDÉ AND CRAIG DAVID. AM I RIGHT IN<br />
SAYING THAT THAT ‘IT’S ABOUT TIME’ WAS<br />
CHAPTER ONE, AND YOU’RE WORKING ON A<br />
CHAPTER TWO TO ESSENTIALLY BRING IN THE<br />
NEW ERA OF CHIC?<br />
Yes. You have it exactly correct and also the fact<br />
that I am spending so much time at Abbey Road;<br />
that’s become sort of my new home base and I<br />
felt I wanted to paint a musical picture that’s a<br />
more accurate reflection of my current life. At<br />
first, I started out with a different concept, but I<br />
love working with these people and its just great.<br />
IS IT FAIR TO SAY THAT THE MUSIC OF BRITAIN<br />
IS GOING TO GET REFLECTED IN THE NEXT<br />
ALBUM AS A LOT OF IT WILL BE RECORDED<br />
HERE?<br />
You know, who knows what I’m going to be<br />
doing, but it has to on some level because I have<br />
already created some stuff that’s great! At least<br />
the music feels great to me. And also, what the<br />
Dua sessions have taught me, it’s re-taught me<br />
again how much fun we have when we just walk<br />
into the studio as a band, as Chic rhythm section<br />
and just go in and play.<br />
FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER<br />
BEEN TO A LIVE CHIC SHOW, WHAT CAN<br />
THEY EXPECT AND WHAT CAN THEY LOOK<br />
FORWARD TO WHEN THEY COME AND SEE<br />
YOU?<br />
I would just say, we really believe in having<br />
fun. Good times and happiness. What people<br />
have told us, not that we can’t control this, but<br />
people tell us that the happiness seems to last.<br />
In other words, after the show is over you’re still<br />
happy the next day! You’re still thinking about<br />
‘man we had a blast last week’. I see on social<br />
media sometimes, people say things like ‘my<br />
feet are still hurting from 2 weeks ago when I<br />
went dancing to CHIC all night.’ For me, at my<br />
age, having done so much music and have an<br />
audience really appreciate it, it blows me away.<br />
Honestly, at the time we did it we were just<br />
hoping to get a record in the charts and you’re<br />
hoping to get penetration into the market place<br />
and you’re hoping to get what we call a ‘hit<br />
record’, but you have no idea if it’s going to last.<br />
To me, I mean we were in the studio the other<br />
day with Rudimental and we were just laughing<br />
and joking and I said ‘you know what’s funny;<br />
I don’t think there’s anywhere I can go on the<br />
planet where I can’t go ‘1,2, aaaah’ and then<br />
they go ‘freak out’’. It’s the funniest thing. Every<br />
country.<br />

Afraid of Flying – Top Tips for Staying Calm!<br />
The summer holidays are fast approaching<br />
which means for many of us it’s time to<br />
dig out the sunscreen from the back of the<br />
cupboard and jet off on holiday…but not<br />
everyone!<br />
Statistically Speaking...<br />
Statistically, flying is one of the safest forms of<br />
transport, you are more likely to die from heat<br />
exposure than a plane crash. But if you have a<br />
fear of flying, I imagine statistics don’t help much.<br />
A fear of flying can occur for all sorts of different<br />
reasons, from encountering a “bad flight” where<br />
there was severe turbulence, or an emergency<br />
landing, even experiencing something you found<br />
upsetting or unnerving onboard. It can also be<br />
connected to something completely unrelated<br />
to flying, such as claustrophobia or a traumatic<br />
event in your life. Everyone is different and no<br />
two reasons will be exactly the same.<br />
Tips that can Help...<br />
If you are afraid of flying or you just don’t find the<br />
experience very comfortable, here are a few tips<br />
to help you stay calm:<br />
Good Breathing Technique - I find the 7/11<br />
technique is a great technique because it’s<br />
simple (just make the outward breath longer<br />
than the inward breath) and it also helps induce<br />
your own bodies relaxation response. It will also<br />
help take your mind of the flight because if you<br />
are counting in your head you won’t be having<br />
unhelpful thoughts that could be feeding your<br />
anxiety or unease.<br />
Keep Focused on the Reason for your Flight -<br />
If you are going on holiday, think about all the<br />
things you would like to do whilst away, the<br />
quality time you will be spending with loved<br />
ones, the things you would like to do at your<br />
destination. Keep focused on the actual holiday,<br />
beyond the flight; in comparison, it’s just a few<br />
hours!<br />
Activities - Another way to keep the anxiety<br />
at bay is to be prepared with activities that<br />
keep you distracted, which will help stop your<br />
mind wondering back to unhelpful thoughts.<br />
Depending on your flight, some come with<br />
entertainment, others don’t, so make sure you are<br />
prepared. You may want to load your iPad with<br />
things to watch, a good book to read, or possibly<br />
a puzzle book. Choose whatever suits you, and<br />
that’s the key, to do something you enjoy.<br />

Jacqui Sinclair<br />
Yoga Do’s and Dont’s<br />
Jacqui Sinclair has been<br />
teaching yoga in the Bury St<br />
Edmunds area for ‘ages’ and is<br />
keen to promote the benefits of<br />
a regular practice to all.<br />
This monthly piece will feature<br />
basic answers to some of the<br />
many YOGA comments and<br />
questions that get asked by<br />
beginners and pre-beginners<br />
alike!<br />
‘I am not very good at yoga’ –<br />
is a statement often heard in<br />
beginners classes. ‘How long<br />
does it take to get good at<br />
it?’ The practice of yoga isn’t<br />
about the pursuit of gymnastic<br />
replication of perfect shapes, no<br />
matter what insta may lead us<br />
to conclude(!), so it is helpful to<br />
let go of that as a measure of<br />
competence.<br />
A regular practice is more for<br />
the opportunity of honing and<br />
deepening our awareness and<br />
learning how to stay present.<br />
All the alignment and activation<br />
cues we may hear in class as<br />
there to ensure a safe practice, to<br />
lead us on a journey structured<br />
in a certain way to facilitate<br />
subtle and sometimes significant<br />
changes within us and to keep<br />
us present.<br />
Mindfulness in flow – a<br />
moving meditation.<br />
Those cues aren’t there to<br />
make us feel that if we aren’t<br />
doing something as we think we<br />
should, or that if we currently<br />
lack the flexibility or strength<br />
to make the same shape in the<br />
pose as someone else in the<br />
room that we are somehow<br />
failing at it. If you are regularly<br />
showing up to your mat, simply<br />
with an open and receptive<br />
mind, then you are very good at<br />
the starting point of the practice<br />
of yoga!<br />
Yoga is not about the outcome<br />
of success or failure – it is about<br />
the process of exploration<br />
– whatever that means to us<br />
individually - and to enhance<br />
our capacity to deepen our<br />
awareness within the pose,<br />
rather than just deepening the<br />
pose itself.<br />
We all come to our yoga mats<br />
with different starting objectives<br />
of what we may want to take<br />
from it, and each starting point<br />
is as valid as the next – it’s<br />
what yoga may offer us that<br />
we didn’t even know about<br />
is what is often revelatory.<br />
One of the most valuable of<br />
which being the opportunity<br />
to explore something without<br />
striving at perfection at it<br />
being a primary objective, or<br />
justification for doing it ! It can<br />
be a liberating experience to<br />
practice something without a<br />
goal of improvement in mind,<br />
and without judgement on<br />
perceived level of ability or<br />
competence. The practice can<br />
be it’s own point and purpose<br />
– life bends us out of shape<br />
in so many ways, so then we<br />
bend ourselves into many other<br />
shapes on our yoga mats to<br />
bring us back to a point of<br />
neutrality that we take of our<br />
mats and into daily life. Not a<br />
bad place to start with a bit of<br />
stretching - where the practice<br />
leads you next is all part of the<br />
exploration. NAMASTE!<br />

Sick and tired of being in pain?<br />
Realigning the Atlas is like getting<br />
the foundations of a house laid<br />
correctly... when the support<br />
structure is in place, the rest of<br />
the vertebrae are aligned and fully<br />
functioning at their best.<br />
This analogy will help to understand the process:<br />
Fully qualified Harley Street Practitioner, visiting<br />
Bury St Edmunds<br />
“The Atlas is like the first link on a chain. If the<br />
first link is twisted, the rest of the chain will be<br />
twisted. If you undo it, the chain will straighten<br />
up”.<br />
Many years of clinical research have shown that<br />
the first cervical vertebra (C1) or atlas, is more or<br />
less malrotated from birth, in almost all humans.<br />
Traumas such as whiplash, slips and falls, or any<br />
sports injuries can push the atlas vertebra in an<br />
even worth position, and therefore be the cause<br />
of many health problems.<br />
“I would definitely recommend this to anyone<br />
who suffer back and shoulder pain, even sinus<br />
problems. It has been over 3 months now pain<br />
free and sinus unblocked” - T.B - London<br />
The treatment for this misalignment is called<br />
AtlasPROfilax® and is practised by Marie-<br />
Agnes Casalini, Harley Street Practitioner,<br />
visiting Suffolk, certified to the highest level<br />
AtlasPROfilax®.<br />
“After countless visits to an osteopath and a<br />
chiropractor, with only minor and temporary<br />
improvement to my stiff and twisted neck and<br />
torso, I discovered MarieAtlas and had the<br />
AtlasProfilax treatment. I could not have been in<br />
better hands as Marie-Agnes is kind, gentle and<br />
caring, though the treatment is uncomfortable,<br />
it is bearable and doesn’t take long. My pelvis<br />
straightened out almost immediately and<br />
my neck is getting better every day. Yes it’s<br />
expensive, but worth every penny”! - M.A<br />
AtlasPROfilax® is a very safe, natural, non-invasive<br />
method which was developed by the Swiss<br />
Renée-Claudius Schümperli between 1993 and<br />
1996, after years of study, now recommended by<br />
Chiropractors and Osteopaths.<br />
The malrotation of the atlas vertebra can be<br />
accurately and safely corrected by the unique<br />
AtlasPROfilax® method with only one application.<br />
The application requires two scheduled<br />
appointments with Marie, firstly for the treatment<br />
and then a follow up appointment.<br />

A Mountain To<br />
Climb...<br />
MAY 2019 | ISSUE #<strong>79</strong><br />
BY RALPH OATES<br />
A series of articles which will feature boxing facts<br />
from both the past to the present...<br />
Alan Rudkin was a world class<br />
bantamweight who during his<br />
career won the British, European<br />
and Commonwealth titles.<br />
The said list of titles held by<br />
Rudkin more than confirmed<br />
that he had a very successful<br />
professional career. However<br />
the championship which Rudkin<br />
strongly desired was the one<br />
which eluded him the world title.<br />
It seemed that the Liverpool<br />
fighter was not fated to add<br />
the global crown to his name.<br />
Rudkin who was born on the<br />
28th November 1941 had three<br />
attempts to win world honours<br />
each time against outstanding<br />
champions. To make his task<br />
even harder was the fact that<br />
he had to venture into the title<br />
holder’s country. In truth Rudkin<br />
had a mountain to climb in each<br />
title bid.<br />
Rudkin’s first attempt to win the<br />
championship took place on the<br />
30th November 1965 against<br />
the reigning title holder Fighting<br />
Harada at the Nippon Budokan<br />
in Tokyo Japan. Rudkin was<br />
considered the underdog in the<br />
contest and it was viewed that<br />
he would leave the land of the<br />
rising sun a well beaten fighter.<br />
However the British challenger<br />
surprised many by pushing the<br />
champion hard and did not<br />
look out of his league in his<br />
title bid. Rudkin lost a 15 round<br />
points decision but in so doing<br />
received a great deal of praise<br />
for his impressive showing in<br />
the contest. Harada was also a<br />
former world flyweight king.<br />
After rebuilding by getting<br />
more solid victories under his<br />
belt Rudkin was given another<br />
shot at the title. Once again<br />
Rudkin had to pack his suitcase<br />
and get his passport ready to<br />
travel. This time the destination<br />
was Australia where he crossed<br />
gloves with the then champion<br />
Lionel Rose at the Kooyong<br />
Tennis Stadium in Melbourne<br />
Australia. The bout took place<br />
on the 8th March 1969. Rose<br />
was a clever boxer who had<br />
produced the goods to take the<br />
title from Fighting Harara on the<br />
27th February 1968 with a shock<br />
15 round points victory at the<br />
Nippon Budokan. Rose was no<br />
easy touch and was not likely to<br />
surrender his crown easily to the<br />
visitor from the UK. Some boxing<br />
pundits were optimistic feeling<br />
that Rudkin’s trip down under<br />
might well prove successful<br />
since he had the boxing skills<br />
to topple the champion by<br />
outpointing him over the<br />
scheduled 15 rounds. Rudkin<br />
performed well often giving<br />
the champion a few worrying<br />
moments during the exciting<br />
encounter. Rose however proved<br />
to be a worthy title holder and<br />
much to the disappointment of<br />
UK fans retained his crown on<br />
points and also won the Briton’s<br />
Commonwealth title which at<br />
the time was also on the line.<br />
A third opportunity to win the<br />
crown took place on the 12th<br />
December 1969 when Rudkin<br />
met Mexico’s Ruben Olivares<br />
at the Forum Inglewood in<br />
California USA. Olivares had<br />
ripped the championship from<br />
Rose with a devastating display<br />
of punching power stopping<br />
the Australian in five rounds of<br />
a slated 15 on the 22nd August<br />
1969 at the Forum. It was clear<br />
from the first bell that Rose was<br />
not going to last the distance<br />
with his challenger. Olivares<br />
was considered to be very<br />
special a potential great and<br />
few if any gave Rudkin a chance<br />
of lasting the full 15 rounds let<br />
alone win the world crown. The<br />
pessimism proved to be correct<br />
when Rudkin was easily stopped<br />
in two rounds by the powerful<br />
Olivares.<br />
On the 25th January 1972 Rudkin<br />
had his last professional fight<br />
against Johnny Clark whom<br />
he outpointed over 15 hard<br />
rounds to retain his British and<br />
Commonwealth bantamweight<br />
titles in a crowd pleasing affair<br />
at the Royal Albert Hall in<br />
Kensington London. Rudkin<br />
thus bowed out on a winning<br />
note against Clark a good<br />
competitor who had no quit in<br />
him. During his paid career in<br />
the ring Alan had an impressive<br />
record of 50 contests winning<br />
42 and losing eight. Rudkin was<br />
a well respected fighter who<br />
served boxing well during his<br />
time in the ring. Rudkin was<br />
awarded the MBE in 1973 an<br />
honour he richly deserved. Alan<br />
sadly passed away on the 22nd<br />
September 2010 at the age of 68<br />
years 9 months and 25 days.<br />

Centre) is a private<br />
and independently<br />
run Ultrasound<br />

Mrs Punam Kapur has over 18 years<br />
experience in obstetric ultrasound<br />

As well as being an experienced<br />

which brings a wealth of knowledge<br />
as well as a understanding of the<br />
anxieties that face families in the<br />

speak to Pam about the centre.<br />
Why book a scan additionally to<br />
the NHS ones?<br />
There are many reasons you<br />
may wish to book an additional<br />
scan to the NHS ones. Early<br />
Pregnancy Scans are available<br />
from as early as 6 weeks, booking<br />
an early pregnancy scan can<br />
help with any anxiety around<br />
the pregnancy, especially if you<br />
have concerns or have previously<br />
experience a miscarriage. Our<br />
pregnancy ultrasound scans are<br />
available seven days a week and<br />
appointments are available to suit<br />
you. We advise you not to replace<br />
your NHS Scans with our private<br />
scans, but to use them as an<br />
early opportunity to see how<br />
everything is coming along.<br />
Where are you based?<br />
We are conveniently located<br />
in the heart of Norwich. The<br />
rooms are ideally located<br />

day and emergency after hours<br />
and weekend ultrasound scan<br />
appointments in a clean and caring<br />
environment, to suit your needs.<br />
What makes you different?<br />
We do not employ agency workers<br />
to perform scans, Pam is a highly<br />
qualified practitioner and your scan<br />
will always be performed by Pam<br />
who has a medical background in<br />
1st, 2nd & 3rd trimester scanning.<br />
Any medical advice regarding<br />
pregnancy will only ever be given<br />
by qualified medical staff.<br />
What additional services do you<br />
offer?<br />
We offer a personal, professional<br />
ultrasound service to mums and<br />
parents throughout pregnancy.<br />
Whether it is the latest 3D/4D<br />

or presentation scans or simply<br />
an extra 2D peep at your unborn<br />
baby. We can offer a service to<br />
suit your individual requirements.<br />

Pregnancy Nutrition...<br />
A healthy pregnancy diet will promote<br />
your baby’s growth and development.<br />
Rachel Ducker enlists the expert advice of Carrie Temple,<br />
Nutritional Therapist.<br />
“One thing I have learnt is that being pregnant is not easy,<br />
everything changes from your hormones, to your appetite<br />
and body appearance.<br />
I am one of those unlucky women who have suffered with<br />
morning sickness most of the way through, not so much<br />
being sick but feeling nauseous 24/7!<br />
Luckily things have started to change for me over the<br />
last month since I have enlisted the help of nutritional<br />
therapist Carrie Temple.<br />
The great thing is you can speak to Carrie wherever you<br />
are in the world. Our first consultation was via Sykpe. We<br />
spent a good hour talking about my daily food intake,<br />
past medical history, things I’d been experiencing during<br />
my pregnancy and her recommendations for me.<br />
Carrie recommended a range of vitamins that would be<br />
great for me during and post pregnancy, these ones are<br />
already broken down so that your body doesn’t have<br />
to do it. What I didn’t know was that some people can’t<br />
actually break down certain vitamins, so if you think you<br />
are taking good ones… you may not be.<br />
After our consultation she emailed<br />
me various recipe suggestions and<br />
information regarding certain food types<br />
I should be including, which was really<br />
helpful and great for general inspiration.<br />
One month on and I am feeling much<br />
better. The morning sickness has<br />
reduced, I have more energy and I am<br />
even starting to incorporate a little<br />
exercise back into my routine, something<br />
I didn’t think would happen again for a<br />
long time, (whilst I laid passed out on the<br />
sofa)! My headaches have disappeared<br />
and I feel really healthy.<br />
I am continuing to speak to Carrie<br />
throughout my pregnancy so I really feel<br />
like I have someone there to support and<br />
guide me.<br />
After all, as a new mummy to be, all I<br />
want is to give my baby the very best of<br />
starts and it starts with what you put in<br />
to your own body first.”<br />

AN INTERVIEW WITH:<br />
BOW &<br />
RATTLE<br />
Be practical without compromising on style...<br />
We speak to Caragh O’Driscoll,<br />
founder of Bow and Rattle, about<br />
her selection of Luxury Baby<br />
Changing Bags.<br />
1. How did you come up with the<br />
idea for these beautiful bags?<br />
It began when my friends started<br />
having babies. Everyone was<br />
excited picking their changing bag<br />
as it was the one item that was<br />
all about them as opposed to the<br />
baby. It soon became clear they<br />
were struggling to find their perfect<br />
bag. In retrospect it seems obvious<br />
that there was a large gap in the<br />
mid-price range for a bag that<br />
looked as stylish and expensive as<br />
the top end leather ones but at the<br />
same time as practical as one would<br />
want. My passion for style and<br />
design incorporated with my love of<br />
business made it the perfect match.<br />
I went about creating the dream<br />
bags that merged practicality with<br />
stylish design. And so Bow & Rattle<br />
was born.<br />
2. What inspired you?<br />
I took inspiration from everywhere<br />
I could. I got a lot of my ideas from<br />
a trip I took to Milan, the heart of<br />
fashion where I went to the Mipel<br />
design show. I knew my designs had<br />
to be classic and timeless as these<br />
bags needed to last and work with<br />
every outfit so I looked at brands<br />
that I knew did it well. I spent lots of<br />
time researching the stitching, zips,<br />
textures and metal hardware of the<br />
bags and incorporated elements I<br />
loved into my design to give them<br />
that luxury feel.<br />
3. Whats your favourite bag from<br />
your collection?<br />
It would have to be the Rosie. I<br />
adore the faux leather, it’s so soft<br />
and expensive looking. I’m going<br />
through a face of Spanx leather<br />
leggings and cosy knits and I’m<br />
using the black one right now which<br />
works so well with this look. I get so<br />
many compliments on it and people<br />
can’t believe when they find out<br />
it’s a changing bag. It feels good as<br />
I know I’ve done what I set out to<br />
achieve when I hear that!<br />
4. Each bag has a name can you<br />
tell us more about this?<br />
I lost my own mum Heather when I<br />
was six years old. It was just myself<br />
and my Dad growing up. He has<br />
always been an entrepreneur and at<br />
the time when it happened, he was<br />
in the middle of trying to set up a<br />
new business to be able to support<br />
us. As all entrepreneurs know<br />
it’s a fairly full-on experience so I<br />
was blessed that so many of the<br />
wonderful females in my family and<br />
friends of my mum’s stepped in and<br />
all played an incredibly important<br />
49 49<br />
role in bringing me up. Each one in<br />
their own way contributed so much<br />
to my life and getting me where I<br />
am today; and so as a small way<br />
of thanks it only felt right to name<br />
each style of bag after one of them.<br />
5. What makes your bags<br />
different?<br />
Having a nice changing bag is<br />
so important. However, just as<br />
important as style was to me I also<br />
wanted to ensure functionality<br />
wasn’t lost. We also include a set of<br />
our beautiful Milestone cards so you<br />
can treasure every memory of your<br />
little one’s first year!<br />
6. Do you have any new designs<br />
coming out this year?<br />
We do; we are always in design<br />
mode! The new designs are under<br />
wraps for now but will be launching<br />
later in the second half of this year!<br />

Method<br />
1. Preheat the grill and a griddle pan to<br />
medium-high. Put the chicken breasts<br />
between 2 sheets of clingfilm and bash with<br />
a rolling pin to an even thickness.<br />
Get ready for summer...<br />
This Spanish-inspired chicken recipe<br />
makes a great summer salad. Juicy,<br />
griddled chicken sits on a zesty orange<br />
and chilli-dressed green salad, all served<br />
with a classic Spanish side of garlic-rubbed<br />
tomato bread.<br />
Serves 4<br />

Healthy<br />
Ingredients<br />
• 300g chicken breast fillets, halved<br />
widthways<br />
• 3 1/2 tbsp olive oil<br />
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika<br />
• 2 oranges, zested, peeled and sliced<br />
• 1/2 tbsp white wine vinegar<br />
• 1 tsp clear honey<br />
• 120g bag mixed leaf salad<br />
• 1/2 cucumber, halved and finely sliced<br />
• 1 red chilli, deseeded and finely sliced<br />
• 1 white baton, sliced into 8 rounds<br />
• 4 garlic cloves, peeled<br />
• 4 loose vine tomatoes (about 320g)<br />
2. Coat the chicken in 1/2 tbsp oil and the<br />
paprika. Griddle for 5 mins each side or until<br />
cooked through, then remove from the pan,<br />
cover with foil and set aside to rest.<br />
3. Meanwhile, whisk half the orange zest<br />
with 2 tbsp olive oil, the vinegar and honey.<br />
Season and set aside. Divide the salad<br />
leaves between 4 plates. Top with the<br />
orange slices, cucumber and chilli.<br />
4. Toast both sides of the bread under the<br />
grill until golden. Drizzle with the remaining<br />
olive oil, then rub with the garlic cloves.<br />
Halve the tomatoes and grate coarsely until<br />
you are only left with the skin. Discard the<br />
skin, then spoon the flesh onto the toasts;<br />
season to taste.<br />
5. Slice the chicken and place on top of<br />
the salad. Drizzle with the orange dressing,<br />
scatter with the reserved orange zest and<br />
serve with the tomato bread.<br />
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:<br />
Tip: Remove the peel with knife or orange<br />
peeler. Gently rolling the orange between your<br />
hands will loosen the peel and make peeling<br />
much easier.<br />

baked veggie<br />
frittata<br />
This quick and easy frittata is<br />
made with roasted red peppers,<br />
spring onions and punchy pickled<br />
jalapeños. This vibrant vegetarian<br />
meal makes for great leftovers to<br />
brighten up lunchtime at work.<br />
1. Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4.<br />
Oil and line a 23cm round cake or deep<br />
flan tin with baking paper – scrunch up the<br />

then push into the bottom of the tin. Fry<br />

pan until tender. Add the spinach and<br />
cook until wilted, turning up the heat to<br />
evaporate any excess liquid, then season<br />
and cool slightly.<br />
2. Put the soft cheese in a bowl, beat until<br />
soft, then gradually whisk in the eggs, add<br />
lots of seasoning, then stir in the spinach<br />
mix, cheddar, jalepeños, peppers and<br />
coriander. Pour into the lined tin and bake<br />
for 12-15 minutes or until puffed, lightly<br />
golden and just set. Serve with flatbreads<br />
and chilli sauce, if you like.<br />
Ingredients<br />
• spring onions 4, finely chopped<br />

The Muscat<br />
Grape<br />
There are many grapes referred to as of the Muscat variety but all belong to<br />
the Vitis Vinifera species.<br />
Although the 200 varieties called Muscat have<br />
the same name , there are only a few that are<br />
closely related to each other.<br />
BY ‘WINE BUFF’ FRED FISHER<br />
Some believe that it was around between<br />
3000 and 1000 BC and others think it was<br />
between 800 and 600 BC. There is evidence<br />
that it was known at 1230, 1240 and 1372 when<br />
it was described as wine madefrom it as Vin<br />
extrait de raisins muscats.<br />
How the name Muscat came about also has<br />
many theories, mostly Persian, Greek or even<br />
French origin. It could have been from the<br />
Greek city of Moschato where the name is<br />
common for muscat varieties.<br />
The most important four concerned with<br />
wine making are :-<br />
Muscat Blanc a Petit Grains<br />
Muscat of Alexandria<br />
Muscat of Hamberg<br />
Muscat Ottonel<br />
Characteristic Aromas...<br />
The most common description is one of<br />
‘Grapey’. Many other varieties can be thought<br />
to be Muscat because they have hints of that<br />
grape or raisin nose. However they are not<br />
related.<br />
Muscat Blanc a Petit Grains...<br />
As the name suggests it is composed of<br />
very small berries. Makes a wide range of<br />
56<br />

wine from dry to sweet and especially sweet<br />
sparkling like Asti Spumante in Italy. In France<br />
it is seen as Muscat de Beaume de Venise<br />
from the Rhone, Muscat St Jean de Minervois<br />
and Muscat de Frontignon.<br />
It is also found as Liqueur Muscat in<br />
Rutherglen Australia. Furthermore in<br />
Constantia South Africa it is acclaimed<br />
Muscat of Alexandria...<br />
Compared to Muscat a Petit Grains these<br />
berries are much larger and are used not only<br />
in wine but also as table grapes or raisins<br />
when dried. It appears that by DNA analysis<br />
its origin is not necessarily Egyptian but more<br />
a crossing coming from Greece and<br />
wine produced in Italy and Malta<br />
prove that.<br />
Besides Italy it is used in<br />
France by blending it with<br />
Muscat a Petit Grains to<br />
make Muscat de Rivesaltes, a<br />
Vin du Naturel.<br />
In South Africa it is called the<br />
Hanepoot, in Spain the Moscatel. A<br />
lot is planted in California making Jug wine<br />
in particular ans was at one time common for<br />
Raisins although nowadays seedless varieties<br />
are mostly used.<br />
Muscat of Hamburg...<br />
Although most of the Muscat grapes are dark<br />
or pale skinned the main exception is the<br />
Muscat of Hamburg.<br />
This is dark skinned and is said to have<br />
originated in English greenhouses. While<br />
this grape is used mostly as a table grape,<br />
California uses bit to make dessert wine and<br />
crossed with Vitis Aumerensis to make wine.<br />
Muscat Ottonel...<br />
This grape is a relatively recent addition to<br />
the Muscat family. It started in the Loire Valley<br />
in the 1850’s. It is a cross between the Swiss<br />
grape Chasselas and Muscat de Saumur. It is<br />
the palest of the Muscats, producing neutral<br />
wines and also ripens the earliest.<br />
While other varieties of the Muscat grape like<br />
the Muscat of Alexandria thrive better on<br />
warmer climates Muscat Ottonel can<br />
cope with cooler conditions that<br />
exist in countries such as Russia,<br />
Bulgaria, Romania, the Czech<br />
Republic etc.<br />
It is the primary Muscat variety<br />
in Alsace France, where it is used<br />
to make dry and off dry wines of<br />
high quality. In Austria too it produces<br />
sweet late-harvest wines.<br />
The Muscat grape is often thought of as<br />
being used mostly for sweetish wines and<br />
particularly for Asti, the very successful<br />
sparkling wine from Italy, juicily sweet and<br />
great with Desserts. However it is also<br />
successful at producing other sweet dessert<br />
wines such as Riversaltes and Rutherglen as<br />
just two examples.<br />
Conclusions...<br />
Do have a look into the dry versions especially the ones from Alsace. Yet another Bucket list<br />
of wines to try - Happy drinking!<br />

BARSHAM<br />
BARNS<br />
By Rachel Ducker<br />
Just a short drive from the North<br />
Norfolk coastline, set in the valleys of<br />
the countryside, sits Barsham Barns,<br />
a set of luxury holiday cottages, once<br />
former stables, which have been<br />
lovingly restored.<br />
There are six farm buildings, all different in<br />
style and size– sleeping anything from four to<br />
14 people.<br />
The Great East is the largest<br />
of the properties and was<br />
once a 19th century granary<br />
and sits in a tranquil river<br />
valley. It’s ideal for large<br />
groups and has an open<br />
plan living space.<br />
High Barsham is decorated<br />
with Bronze lanterns and coloured glass<br />
illuminate modern furnishings. It also comes<br />
with a south-facing walled courtyard garden<br />
for added privacy.<br />
Grey’s Court is a very spacious single-storey<br />
brick and flint building.<br />
The generously proportioned main rooms<br />
have a cool Scandinavian mood, decorated in<br />
relaxing shades of blue and green for a calm<br />
and comfortable atmosphere.<br />

Long Meadow was most recently the milking<br />
parlour and, dating from 1715, is the oldest<br />
property on the farm. It has a large oakbeamed<br />
sitting room with views across the<br />
courtyard garden to the lovely Stiffkey valley<br />
beyond.<br />
Little Barsham is the smallest of the buildings;<br />
in the past it was used for rearing lambs<br />
and sheltering sheep. It has an intimate<br />
rural atmosphere, with exposed beams and<br />
contemporary design touches.<br />
Finally, the latest of the properties is the<br />
Loose Box, a cosy cottage decorated in soft<br />
chalky colours inspired by the beautiful North<br />
Norfolk coastal palette.<br />
The verdict…<br />
Whether you want to relax and recharge or<br />
get out and explore all options are covered.<br />
Barsham Barns is perfectly situated to explore<br />
the depths of Norfolk at your own pace.<br />

Look on the<br />
BRIGHT SIDE!<br />
For Christmas last year I<br />
got a daily calendar with a<br />
motivational quote to read<br />
each morning.<br />
BY RUBY REED<br />
I love it so much - its<br />
almost better than<br />
an advent one…<br />
almost.<br />
But seriously its packed with<br />
wise sayings, uplifting truths<br />
- just little sentences to that<br />
effect.<br />
I want to preach how important looking on the<br />
bright side of things is, so I hope this hits the spot!<br />
It’s the easiest thing in the world to focus on the<br />
little things that are not quite perfect or are not<br />
going our way at the moment.<br />
But this is a terrible outlook and very unbeneficial.<br />
For example, during a standard day there are<br />
always highs and lows.<br />
It’s great to start the day<br />
with, or end if I forget first<br />
thing!<br />
And always puts a new<br />
perspective on whatever’s<br />
happening.<br />
Often we can wish something hadn’t happened or<br />
we had done something differently, but why dwell<br />
on those when we could be happy about the thing<br />
we did so well or achieved either side of that.<br />
A saying I have come to like is - ‘A minute spend<br />
unhappy is a minute you can never get back’.<br />

Of course, its impossible<br />
to live every second<br />
like this, but its worth<br />
reminding ourselves once<br />
in a while isn’t it?<br />
I remember an outing as<br />
a child. My grandparents<br />
had taken me and my<br />
brother somewhere, now<br />
I really can’t remember<br />
where but some sort of<br />
gardens, I think.<br />
At the end of the day on<br />
our walk back to the car<br />
we were rating the day.<br />
A comment that has<br />
always stuck with me was<br />
that of grandads - ‘The<br />
day couldn’t be marked<br />
any lower than a 5 if we’re all fit and<br />
healthy’ (Or at least something very<br />
similar, this was over 15 years ago now).<br />
Well, I think he’s right don’t you?<br />

MAY 2019 MAY | ISSUE 2019 | #<strong>79</strong> ISSUE | #<strong>79</strong> HISTORY<br />
George Grenville Baker<br />
A Tormented Poet...<br />
George Granville Barker<br />
was born in Loughton,<br />
Essex in 1913; the elder<br />
brother of painter Kit<br />
Barker. Raised by his Irish<br />
mother and English father<br />
in Battersea, London.<br />
He was educated at an L.C.C.<br />
school and later at Regent<br />
Street Polytechnic. He<br />
had many odd jobs before<br />
becoming a writer.<br />
During the last decade few<br />
have read of him, the majority<br />
of his work is out of print, and<br />
very little of him has been<br />
mentioned in literary histories.<br />
This is unacceptable for a<br />
writer who was passionate,<br />
intellectually challenging and<br />
highly original. At the young<br />
age of 22, Barker was known<br />
as a literary phenomenon.<br />
Whilst T.S. Eliot declared him<br />
a genius Yeats claimed him<br />
the finest poet of the times.<br />
George was a drinker,<br />
womaniser and a user of<br />
Benzedrine. A fraudulent<br />
estate agent stole his entire<br />
savings leaving him without<br />
a fixed address. He was<br />
part of the bohemian crowd<br />
in London’s Soho and he<br />
fathered 15 children by four<br />
different women.<br />
His life was somewhat violent<br />
with friends and lovers and<br />
one argument led him to hit<br />
his friend over the head with<br />
a shovel, a partner threw an<br />
ashtray at him and broke<br />
his teeth and another bit his<br />
upper lip where he required<br />
40 stitches. His poems, read<br />
on the BBC Third Programme,<br />
were criticised for obscenity,<br />
and he always liked to cause<br />
outrage. After a period of<br />
thirty years he told a priest<br />
during confession that he had<br />
broken every commandment<br />
except the sixth, ‘thou shalt<br />
not kill’.<br />
For the last 24 years of his<br />
life he settled with second<br />
wife Elspeth at Bintree House<br />
Itteringham, near the River<br />
Bure 15 miles from Norwich.<br />
It was purchased with<br />
help from novelist Graham<br />
Green. Elspeth wrote about<br />
the property in her essay<br />
‘Thoughts in a Garden’.<br />
George was never asked by<br />
the University of East Anglia<br />
to take a single class in the<br />
creative writing course,<br />
and Elspeth stated that her<br />
husband did nothing to<br />
promote himself.<br />
In 1969 whilst visiting All<br />
Saints Church in Thurgarton<br />
near his home, George wrote<br />
one of his best poems ‘At<br />
Thurgarton Church’ about his<br />
fear of Judgement day.<br />
George Granville Barker<br />
is buried at St Mary’s<br />
Churchyard, Itteringham.<br />
His headstone states:<br />
‘No Compromise’. This was<br />
erected by a bank robber that<br />
George befriended, and it<br />
became a saying that George<br />
used many times in a life that<br />
was as extraordinary as his<br />
writings.<br />
The last part of ‘At Thurgarton<br />
Church’ by George Grenville<br />
Baker.<br />
I hear the old bone in me<br />
cry and the dying spirit call:<br />
I have forfeited all and once<br />
and for all must die and this is<br />
a that I know.<br />
For now, in a wild way we<br />
know that justice is served<br />
and that we die in the clay we<br />
dread, desired, and deserved,<br />
awaiting no Judgement Day.<br />

Skin care expert Geraldine Walters gives the low<br />
down on the A-Z of what’s in your bottles...<br />
[D] DMAE (dim-ethyl-amino-ethanol)...<br />
Not exactly a name that trips<br />
off the tongue but of huge<br />
importance to your health.<br />
Those of you who are keen<br />
on supplements may have<br />
come across it as a pill in your<br />
local health shop. Here’s the<br />
lowdown:<br />
If you’ve heard of fish referred to as<br />
brain food, you can thank DMAE.<br />
face lifting and skin tightening effect.<br />
DMAE is a natural compound in our<br />
body. Keratinocytes (they make the<br />
keratin protein for hair, nails and skin)<br />
fibroblasts (they’re cells to produce<br />
connective tissue such as collagen)<br />
and sweat cells amongst others have<br />
membrane receptors and respond to<br />
acetylcholine.<br />
The tensing effect of DMAE is due to the<br />
stimulation of fibroblasts.<br />
This substance is naturally produced in<br />
the brain, but DMAE is also present in<br />
anchovies, salmon, and sardines.<br />
DMAE boosts the production of<br />
acetylcholine, which is important for<br />
proper mental functions.<br />
DMAE in skincare is the ultimate firming<br />
and anti-wrinkle treatment, it’s often<br />
used externally to produce an extreme<br />
It can also protect neurons and other<br />
cells from harmful effects of certain<br />
types of oxidation by embedding itself<br />
in the structure of the cell and acting<br />
as an anti-oxidant so it works wonders<br />
along a good dose of Vitamins C and E.<br />
So it’s often found in various face and<br />
body creams, and can tighten and tone<br />
skin quality if it’s in a form that can<br />
permeate the outer layers of the skin<br />

This allows the product to penetrate and<br />
set to work immediately.<br />
Mixed with hyaluronic acid we can get<br />
a smoother, firmer and plumper skin<br />
using naturally occurring products.<br />
In brief this wonder ingredient reduces<br />
the appearance, depth and length of<br />
fine lines and wrinkles and reduces or<br />
prevents DNA damage and when taken<br />
internally it can increase creativity,<br />
memory, concentration and improve<br />
energy.<br />
and get to the cells where it works.<br />
As ageing progresses, the amount of<br />
acetylcholine slows down and the only<br />
way to produce more is to increase the<br />
amount of acetylcholine, taking DMAE<br />
daily internally and externally will result<br />
in greater looking skin.<br />
Studies show that it decreases anxiety<br />
and boost the feel-good hormones and<br />
reduces the amount of sleep that the<br />
body might need. Nothing fishy about<br />
that.<br />
The favoured method of applying DMAE<br />
for skincare therapists is using it in a<br />
solution for skin needling.<br />
This sounds dramatic but just means the<br />
therapist uses a roller with tiny needles,<br />
or an electronic pen device, to break the<br />
surface of the skin.<br />

Preparing For Summer...<br />
1HG<br />
With my holiday starting in just<br />
a few weeks, I popped to SK to<br />
prepare my body for exposure<br />
to the Mexican skies.<br />
Recently, I experienced some wonderful<br />
Pevonia body wraps. I’m torn between<br />
the Green Coffee and Stem Cells as my<br />
personal favourite. Both were great for<br />
improving the look and feel of my skin,<br />
and I love anything that targets cellulite.<br />
I’d heard wonderful things about<br />
Pevonia’s Saltmousse so booked myself<br />
in for the Saltmousse-Glow Full Body<br />
Exfoliation Treatment. This is an antiageing<br />
product that refines the skin.<br />
French sea salt and organic fruit extracts,<br />
enriched in pro-vitamin A and carrot<br />
seed oil, recreate a seawater experience.<br />
Increased negative ions are released for<br />
a healthier body and softer skin. I knew I<br />
was in for a treat!<br />
Within the warm and welcoming<br />
treatment room, the lights are low and<br />
the music relaxing. My entire body<br />
received the fruity polish – feet, legs,<br />
arms, hands, stomach, chest, shoulders<br />
and back. The Saltmousse itself doesn’t<br />
feel abrasive but, when combined with<br />
warm water, quite gentle on the skin. The<br />
salts transform into a mousse-like texture.<br />
Once complete, I rinsed off the delicious<br />
smelling product in the shower, before<br />
De-Ageing Body Balm was applied to the<br />
same areas.<br />
Exfoliation isn’t always relaxing, but this<br />
was as far removed from the Turkish<br />
Bath scrubs as it could be! My skin was<br />
left feeling soft, smooth, wonderfully<br />
hydrated and tropically scented. The dry<br />
patches around my elbows, knees and<br />
ankles had gone and I feel ready to hit<br />
the beach.<br />
I can have a similar experience at home<br />
too, as I have purchased Pevonia’s<br />
Papaya & Pineapple De-Ageing<br />
Saltmousse.<br />

A few of MY FAVOURITES...<br />
Over the past four years I have written about<br />
many products, so in this edition I thought it<br />
would be nice to recap on my top five.<br />
Skin care: I love a good water cleanser, brilliant<br />
those on the go. Check out Dior’s Hydra life<br />
range. It detoxifies the skin from the inside<br />
out. Keeping with Dior, their Hydra Life Sorbet<br />
moisturiser is great for any age and any skin type.<br />
It soaks into your skin leaving it feeling light and<br />
refreshed.<br />
Primer: I fell in love with the “This Works”<br />
primer. The ‘In Transit Camera Close<br />
Up’ cream is a moisturiser, mask<br />
and primer, it also helps minimise<br />
pores. Trust me when I say<br />
you will not regret purchasing<br />
this; no more topping up your<br />
makeup with this magic in a<br />
cream.<br />
Base: I have two favourite<br />
foundations, one being Giorgio<br />
Armani’s ‘Luminous Silk’, a medium<br />
coverage giving a silky luminosity to your<br />
complexion. The other is one I have been using<br />
for over a decade and always go back to, Dior’s<br />
Forever Foundation. They have just reformulated<br />
it so you can choose between a matte or glow<br />
finish. I am still a YSL Touché Eclat lover! Use it<br />
under the eyes to bounce the light off, giving the<br />
look of a brighter lighter under eye.<br />
Mascara: I love Dior’s Lash Maximiser followed by<br />
Dior’s Diorshow Mascara really is a winning pair!<br />
I’ve even been asked before if I was wearing false<br />
lashes so that says it all!<br />
Lips: There are so many products I love, but D&G<br />
Cream Colour in Devil Red has to be my favourite,<br />
a classic pure red which lasts so long. Another<br />
red I have fallen for is ‘Ciate’s’ Jessica Rabbit<br />
Lipstick, the sparkle is Devine! I can’t forget Kat<br />
Von D’s Liquid Lipsticks, these come in a great<br />
range from Nudes to wow green lips!<br />
For the finishing touch I must quote Christian<br />
Dior, “Perfume is the indispensable<br />
complement to the personality of women,<br />
the finishing touch on a dress’.<br />
I cannot leave this without mentioning<br />
perfume, I am more likely to leave the<br />
house without makeup than without a<br />
good scent.<br />
A few of my favourites are Givenchy’s<br />
Amarige, Dior’s Pure Poison and Miss<br />
Dior. Find your signature scent or scents and<br />
everyone will remember you by it! Smell is one of<br />
the biggest triggers for<br />
memory.<br />

Will you make the switch to a natural deodorant?<br />
There is a lot of scepticism<br />
surrounding natural deodorant<br />
with the biggest question being<br />
‘Will it be as effective as my<br />
usual deodorant?’.<br />
I had the same worries and have tried<br />
numerous different brands and types<br />
of deodorant to find a solution that<br />
suited me. It’s important to remember<br />
that we are all different and what works<br />
for one may not be right for another.<br />
Antiperspirant v Deodorant...<br />
Antiperspirant and deodorant can easily be<br />
confused, so let’s debunk the myth;<br />
An antiperspirant is designed to prevent body<br />
odour and prevent the body perspiring.<br />
A deodorant allows the body to sweat naturally<br />
and simply prevents body odour from occurring.<br />
Sweat by itself does not smell. Body<br />
odour only occurs when our natural<br />
skin bacteria starts to breakdown<br />
sweat particles. Our body needs<br />
to breath and sweating is a natural<br />
part of that we shouldn’t block<br />
our pores and halt our natural<br />
body processes. A good deodorant<br />
will inhibit the growth of odour<br />
causing bacteria and allow sweat to<br />
evaporate naturally. Leaving no awkward<br />
moments.<br />

Why make the switch?...<br />
Many conventional antiperspirant and deodorants contain<br />
harsh chemicals which can disturb the microbiome layer<br />
of your skin potentially causing irritations. Sweat ducts<br />
and lymph nodes can become blocked as Lymphatic fluid<br />
stagnates and disrupts the natural perspiration process.<br />
These products often contain Parabens and Aluminium<br />
Chlorohydrate which have long been reported to have<br />
a potential link with Cancer. When choosing your next<br />
deodorant look out for harmful ingredients such as<br />
synthetic chemicals like parabens, triclosan or Aluminium<br />
Chlorohydrate.<br />
On a personal level I now find that if / when I do sweat I<br />
don’t actually smell whereas previously once the sweat<br />
had broken the antiperspirant barrier it did not mask the<br />
smell. In my experience natural deodorants seems to last<br />
much longer than their mainstream alternatives. Previously I<br />
would purchase a deodorant once every 4-6 weeks now it’s<br />
3-6 months! So although many natural options may appear<br />
more expensive their quality and value is often much better.<br />
Effectiveness of a natural deodorant...<br />
The concern about a natural deodorant being less effective<br />
than a conventional option is still prevalent but I feel that<br />
there are so many options on the market now that are<br />
absolutely brilliant and certainly rival, if not are better than,<br />
conventional mainstream options. Having tried many types<br />
of natural deodorant across a variety of brands I’ve found a<br />
few key products that I absolutely love and work really well<br />
for me. As with anything our bodys are very intuitive and<br />
can easily get used to one product. For me it’s all about<br />
variety, I will alternate between a couple of different brands<br />
to ensure my deodorant is always effective for me.<br />
on or spray from Salt of the Earth in a Melon<br />
and Cucumber will leave me feeling fresh all<br />
day long. Both are incredibly effective and<br />
even when I do sweat, I feel assured that I<br />
never smell.<br />
The transition...<br />
While making the switch over to natural<br />
deodorant your body may need to cleanse<br />
itself of the chemical build up from<br />
conventional products which may mean you<br />
see a rash or irritation under your arms from<br />
time to time or you sweat more than normal.<br />
Stick with your natural deodorant and you<br />
will notice that you body adjusts in 1-2 weeks.<br />
Some don’t experience this at all and it’s a<br />
smooth transition but it’s worth sticking with<br />
it and not giving up straight away.<br />
Natural deodorants is a huge topic which<br />
throws up many questions - if this article<br />
has sparked any questions for you please do<br />
get in touch. I’m happy to talk through my<br />
experiences and offer recommendations.<br />

Written by Sarah Gare.<br />
What are my options?...<br />
When it comes to choosing the right type of deodorant<br />
this is definitely down to personal preference and there are<br />
many choices out there such as:<br />
• Sprays (non aerosol)<br />
• Roll-on gel<br />
• Creams (tub or roll-on)<br />
• Crystal Sticks (made of mineral salt)<br />
Your choices will depend on your lifestyle. For me, if I’m<br />
being quite active I will probably choose a stronger option<br />
often such as a cream deo like Elsa’s Skinfoods Ocean<br />
deodorant whereas if my activities are quite light a gel roll-<br />

SUMMER IS ON IT’S WAY<br />
BY KATE LINES<br />
Kates Top Tip for May: Plant out<br />
cannas and dahlias<br />
As bulbs fade and herbaceous<br />
borders grow in leaps and bounds,<br />
it is now clear that summer is<br />
approaching.<br />
Sowing and planting out bedding can begin,<br />
depending on regional weather variations, and you<br />
can take softwood cuttings.<br />
It’s also time to get back into the lawn mowing<br />
regime, as the lawn will be loving the warmer<br />
temperatures this month brings.<br />
Flowers<br />
Tubs can be planted up with<br />
summer bedding in milder areas.<br />
In colder areas further north or at<br />
high altitudes, it is advised to wait until<br />
early June, or until all risk of frost has passed.<br />
Divide clumps of herbaceous perennials that you<br />
want to propagate.<br />
Bamboos and clumps of bulbs or rhizomes can be<br />
divided in the same way. Cutting back clumps of<br />
spring-flowering perennials such as Pulmonaria and<br />
Doronicum can encourage a fresh flush of foliage.<br />

CENTRE PARCS...<br />
BY ROSS “ACTION MAN” WISHART<br />
This month Action Man and the<br />
Action family will take in break<br />
at Centre Parcs in Elveden Forest<br />
just outside of Thetford.<br />
No more than an hour’s drive from any<br />
corner of Suffolk means your not physically<br />
very far from home or the office, but<br />
this stunning woodland resort is an ideal<br />
location to switch off work mode, kick back<br />
and breathe.<br />
Or, if it’s adrenaline that you desire, the<br />
wilderness-esk enclave is teeming with<br />
activities for you to really turn the dial up<br />
to 11.<br />
You can book a Center Parcs break for a<br />
three-night weekend (Friday-Monday), a<br />
four-night midweek (Monday-Friday) or a<br />
combination of the two for a full week.<br />
There’s also plenty of accommodation<br />
choices depending on you and your guests’s<br />
requirements.<br />
The popular and practical woodland lodge can<br />
sleep up to 8 with a stylish open plan living<br />
and dining space, each equipment with a TV &<br />
DVD player and a cosy log burning fireplace.<br />
Executive, Exclusive and Waterside Lodges all<br />
offer various degrees of opulence with added<br />
features such as hot tubs and games rooms.<br />
All accommodations have well equipped<br />
kitchens and whilst there is a good choice<br />
of restaurants with various cuisines, after a<br />
long day it’s nice to be able to casually rustle<br />
something up in the comfort of your own<br />

SPORT<br />
accommodation (and pyjamas!)<br />
The accommodations are spread throughout<br />
the wildlife filled forest whilst the centre hub<br />
of the resort contains the restaurants and<br />
shops, (including supermarket), with the main<br />
building home to a multitude of activities and<br />
the pool complex aka subtropical swimming<br />
paradise, which is open until the late evening<br />
and is free to use as part of your package, you<br />
can come and go as often as you like.<br />
As for the other activities these will come<br />
at an additional cost and will require prebooking,<br />
that’s best done early to avoid<br />
disappointment so the AM top tip is to do<br />
your homework before your visit.<br />
With over 200 to choose from there’s too<br />
many to mention here, the high ropes course,<br />
laser tag and mini golf are an Action Man<br />
favourite, there’s bound to be something to<br />
satisfy your action appetite.<br />
However, I’m going for the rest and will be<br />
comfortably meandering through the lazy<br />
river in the warm waters of the subtropical<br />
swimming paradise in between sessions of<br />
being launched several times down one of the<br />
many slides, my favourite being the “rapids”.<br />
“Venture Cove” is also an excellent shallow<br />
pool and splash park for the little ones.<br />
Phone signal is poor in Elveden Forest but<br />
some might consider that a godsend, as the<br />
last thing you want is the outside world, that<br />
you’ve briefly escaped from, disturbing your<br />
forest dwelling fiesta.<br />
Action Man says: tired of the boss’ barks<br />
or industry sharks? You need a break at<br />
Elveden’s Centre Parcs.<br />

Adventures<br />
BE SAFE OUTSIDE...<br />
From common pests, to potentially<br />
deadly fertilisers, mushrooms and weed<br />
killers, the garden can pose a number of<br />
threats to us four legged friends.<br />
I love being outside, especially at this time of year<br />
when I can play with my chickens... uff. Here are my<br />
top tips for animal saftey in the garden...<br />
Fruit...<br />
Many of you might be surprised to learn that the<br />
stones and pits in apricots, cherries, plums and<br />
peaches contain deadly cyanide. These fruits could<br />
therefore be very dangerous if they’re crushed<br />
before they’re consumed and larger stones could be<br />
a choking hazard too, whilst the stems and leaves<br />
might also be poisonous.<br />
Slugs and snails...<br />
I hate em! Dogs can catch a dangerous lungworm<br />
infection if they accidentally eat a slug or snail that<br />
carries the larvae of the parasite. Though your dog<br />
probably won’t want to consume slugs or snails, they<br />
should still be cleared away urgently, particularly any<br />
that are near toys or sources of water.<br />
deadly to dogs. Unripe, green or raw potatoes can<br />
be severely dangerous to dogs, whilst tomato leaves,<br />
azaleas and every part of a lily could be poisonous to<br />
dogs and cause vomiting, diarrhoea or even death.<br />
Yikes!<br />
Compost...<br />
Garden compost heaps will usually be packed full<br />
of mouldy food and waste, which can produce<br />
dangerous mycotoxins which are extremely<br />
dangerous to dogs.<br />
Weed killer...<br />
Swallowing or even licking many common<br />
domestic weed killers could be really risky for<br />
dogs and cause breathing or heart problems if<br />
enough is consumed.<br />
Follow me @official_archies_adventures. You<br />
can also keep up to date with my antics on Twitter<br />

Plants...<br />
Tomatoes, potatoes, azaleas and lilies are just some<br />
of the common vegetables and flowers that can be<br />
