J ennifer’s Beauty Salon is well known in the East Neuk, offering the very

best of beauty treatments car-ried out by highly trained therapists.

Organic MMicrodermabra-sion delivers a controlled yet powerful stream of fine dia-mond crystals leaving the skin smooth and fresh whilst pro-moting new skin and collagen growth.

Organic Microdermabrasion can be used to treat and mini-mise the most difficult skin conditions. Ageing and sun damaged skin, acne scarring and some types of acne, al-tered pigmentation, fine lines, enlarged and clogged pores can all benefit from this treat-ment.

Dr Patricia Finlay is a spe-cialist in oral and facial sur-

gery, currently at the regional Maxillo-facial Unit in Glasgow and has developed a special interest in facial aesthetics.

Treatments include: Cosmestic Injection for

Wrinkle Reduction: Tiny amount of muscle relaxant solution can be injected into areas such as frown lines, forehead lines and crow’s feet. The solution temporarily pre-vents the muscle from work-ing so strongly and therefore the wrinkle is reduced or eliminated leaving a smoother appearance.

The injections are almost painless and take only a few minutes. Immediately after-wards no-one will know that the treat-ment has been car-ried out.

The treatment takes 2-5 days to be effec-

tive, although the full effect can take 2 weeks to develop. Effects last for around 3 months and can be repeated to maintain the result.

Dermal Fillers: Juvederm is injected to increase the skin’s hydration and fills out lines such as nose to mouth lines. It can also be used to plump up lips or iron out top lip lines. The effects are long lasting, 6 months – 2 years and can be repeated. The treatments are carried out under local anaesthesia so are not uncomfortable.

Sizzling in the sun or drenched in monsoon rain, Phnom Penh takes you by surprise. Chaotic and relaxed all in one, with bustling lanes and tree- lined boulevards, Buddhist temples, exotic markets and three rivers, the MMekong, the BBassac and the Sap, meeting within sight of the Royal Palace.

TravelTravel

Phnom PenhPhnom Penh

T he Mekong is the stuff of legends but it is the Sap which

flows closest to the city and gives it a particular charm. There are fishing craft painted like rainbows, houseboats, fast ferries to Angkor Wat, cargo vessels, sampans and frail tourist boats bobbing at anchor. Sail down to the Mekong and you discover bamboo houses along the shore and floating villages where chil-dren dive in brown waters and fishermen haul in their nets in the setting sun. The city roofs glow coppery gold across the water and when the cool evening breeze sweeps along the prome-nade, locals come down to the river, friends holding hands, families sharing a picnic, hawkers selling in-cense and lotus bloom for the shrines. Flags from many nations fly high above it all and across Siso-wath Quay, outdoor cafés with plush cushions and rattan chairs add a whiff of colonial days.

Phnom Penh’s main attractions are conveniently close to the waterfront. Built during the French protec-torate, the Royal Palace is a delightful oasis of lawns and

trees, dotted with colon-nades, spires and overlap-ping roofs. You find a pavil-ion donated by Napoleon III, an ‘Emerald Buddha’ made of crystal and a Pa-goda claiming 5000 silver tiles, mostly tucked under a carpet. Visiting monks pose for photographs among the bougainvillea and marvel at the lofty flourishes of Khmer architecture. Others head for the nearby Na-tional Museum and its fabu-lous treasures displayed in a maze of lotus ponds and open galleries.

Today, Buddhism is back after the dark Pol Pot years and spirit houses and tem-ples pop up all over town. Most popular is Wat Phnom, perched on the only hill around. On this spot some 600 years ago, Lady Penh found sacred Buddha im-ages, thus giving the city its name, the hill (Phnom) of Penh. City folk climb up the steps, past mythological lions and snakes, to burn incense and make a wish. Fortune tellers make a brisk trade, monkeys scamper on the slopes and the resident elephant waits for his next ride around the park.

Phnom Penh is easy to explore on foot, as long as

you don’t cross too many roads. Streets are on a grid pattern, enclosed by Pari-sian-style boulevards fra-grant with frangipani. You find gold shops and shoe-shine boys, tailors and printers working on the pavements, smoke-filled barbecues and honking traf-fic ready to pounce at countdown lights. Rick-shaws and bicycles weave through it all, laden with multicoloured balloons or household goods, orange-robed monks carry alms bowls and umbrellas and now and then a wedding party files through an en-trance draped in lilies and silver bananas. What looks like bottles of squash at the roadside is motorbike fuel. The old French Quarter is worth a peep for its leafy lanes and stylish mansions but for local colour, the markets are a must, whether you are looking for fresh fruit or fried spiders, bags, books, clocks, silk, fake de-signer goods or stone carv-ings. Bargaining is hard work but there is always time to relax at the end of the day and watch the sun-set over the Mekong.

Nissan Leaf Road TestNissan Leaf Road TestModel: Nissan Leaf

Price: £25,990 (including £5,000 government grant)

Engine: electric motor

Power: 107bhp, 280Nm

Max speed: 90mph

0-60mph: 11.9s

MPG: 109mile range

Emissions: 0g/km

Residual values (three years): 37 per cent

What is it? Nissan would have you believe it’s revolutionary. It’s the first five-seater, all-electric car in production, producing zero emissions and costing just £2 to ‘fill up’. The benefits don’t end there either. Buyers enjoy zero road tax and company car drivers won’t be clobbered by any Bene-fit in Kind. That means someone driving a 1.6-litre diesel Ford Focus, paying £4,000 company car tax per year, would see that amount back in their pay pack-ets.

What’s under the bonnet? A big fat electric motor. Flip the catch, show any non petrol-head the unit and most will be con-vinced it’s a standard engine – to the uninitiated it certainly looks that way. It’s the fat power cables that give the game away. That motor produces 108bhp but it’s the big dollop of 280Nm of torque, available immediately, which really makes the differ-ence. That’s equivalent to a Por-sche Boxster and certainly makes the Leaf feel sprightly enough.

What’s the spec like? Nissan made little noise about spec on the launch, concentrat-

ing more on the technology, but customers will be pleased to hear there’s lots to entertain. Headlin-ers include sat nav and reversing camera as standard, as well as central locking, alloys, climate control, a CD player and electric windows and mirrors. The only option is a solar panel on the spoiler that tops up the 12v bat-tery. That costs £250.

What’s it like to drive? Nissan says the Leaf’s range is 109 miles and has calculated 95 per cent of daily car travel is less than 25 miles and the average journey is 8.5 miles. There are two power modes, a normal and an eco. In eco, power is seriously reduced but the range improved and in normal the Leaf is surpris-ingly swift. What’s immediately apparent is how quiet the car is and how well it rides over bumps – you forget very quickly you’re driving an electric car.

What does the press think of it? Autoblog said the Leaf could possibly be the most impressive car it has driven all year. The Green Car Website loved it and said owners would claw back the higher purchase price with lower

running costs. Autocar also said that despite the ‘real world range’ being only about 80 miles it was ‘easy to see its huge potential as a comfortable and practical school run car’.

What do we think of it? We like it a lot, but the 26 dealers currently selling it will need to heed the maker’s advice and ensure the right buyers are snap-ping them up. It’s true that at £25,990, with the government’s £5,000 grant thrown in, the Leaf looks expensive but we’d liken it to a new Apple Mac: It might do the same thing as a normal com-puter, but knowing you’re at the forefront of technology and slightly wacky-cool for owning it, will make that extra cash worth spending.

Selling Points 1. £1 will take you 73 miles – in a

Focus diesel £1 is good for 11 miles

2. On a PCP (most popular buy-ing method) it costs £399 per month

3. Company car drivers will pay no Benefit in Kind

Deal Clincher You can fuel it at home for just £2 a fill up

It’s the first five-seater mass-produced

electric car, but James Baggott finds out

the Leaf isn’t for everybody

[Mr P] Och, aye! I un-derstand. That’s inter-esting to know. Di ye hire onything else?

[Murray] I do have certain items such as wheelchairs, large or small scooters, walking aids, raised toilet seats, suction grab handles, etc. There is obviously a limit on the sort of things we can hire out. For example, I couldn’t

really lend out bed pans, urinals, inconti-nence aids…. etc.

[Mr P] Edna’s getting dottier, you know! Last week she dragged me back tae the shops in Dundee to get a refund on a scarf that is too tight!

Collected Short Stories by Roald Dahl A complete collection of dark, twisted and fantastically written short stories, this is perfect for teenagers and adults. With over fifty lingering tales, this book contains favourites such as ‘Lamb to the Slaugh-ter’, where a guilty wife attempts to conceal the murder of her hus-band by feeding the only evidence to the police. Genius!

Sleep by Roddy Doyle For an introduction to this charming Irish writer, Sleep is a lovely text, in which a husband admires his sleeping wife and reflects upon his life with her. Despite the brevity of the tale, Doyle develops strong characters, combining context with emotion to cre-ate a softness and affection which is incredible touching.

The Heart of Dark-ness by Joseph Conrad Although this is more of a novella, it is one of the greatest short stories: dark, capti-vating and with a torrent of hidden

meaning flowing be-neath the surface. Beautifully written and darkly magi-cal, it’s a must-read.

The Metamorpho-sis by Franz Kafka This wonderful story tells the tale of Gregor Samsa, who one day wakes up to find that he has turned into an insect. Exploring the themes of man and the natu-ral world, alienation and morality, this tale is darkly funny and brilliantly written.

The Bottle Imp by Robert Louis Steven-son The Bottle Imp can grant any wish, but with a chilling caveat:

die with it in your possession and your soul will burn in hell for eternity (not a happy thought) - and the bottle can only be sold for less than the purchase price. When Keawe finds himself in desperate need of the bottle, he discovers it only to realise it has a sinis-ter value of just one cent. This is suspense story-telling at its best.

The Yellow Wallpa-per by Charlotte Perkins Gilman This is the brilliantly written account of postnatal depression in the Victorian era, recounting the de-cline of a young woman’s mental health and the lack of understanding from her family as she is imprisoned in a room of her house.

Both sinis-ter and desperately sad, this will grip any reader until the very last line.

Oscar Wilde’s Stories for all Ages by Oscar Wilde and Stephen Fry

This wonderful collection combines some of the best tales of Oscar Wilde, presented in a beautifully illustrated book, featuring a foreword and introduction to each story by his biggest fan, Stephen Fry. For first time visitors to Wilde’s work, ‘The Selfish Giant’ is a must-read, telling the enchanting story of a giant who lives perpetually in Winter, until he allows children into his castle and his heart.

Just out...

Want to read more but never seem able to find the time? Our collection of fantastic short story books features something for everyone – the perfect way to become involved in a high-impact or touching tale, when all you have is twenty minutes.

Home phones don't get the same attention as smart-phones, but they're often smarter buys: cutting-edge tele-phones won't cost you several hundred pounds or tie you into a two-year contract that takes £40 per month from your bank account. So how do you choose the one that's right for you?

The perfect home phoneThe perfect home phone

T he first thing to con-sider is how smart you want your home

phone to be. Many manu-facturers offer phones that can send SMS text messages, or have colour screens, or can use the Skype internet chat service, but unless you think you're actually going to use those features then there isn't much point in paying extra for them - and in the case of SMS messages, your mobile phone contract probably includes a bundle of free SMS messages, whereas ones you send from your home phone will cost money per text.

With the exception of the very cheapest telephones, home phones these days tend to be cordless. Most systems have a main base station, which plugs into your telephone line, and any supplemental handsets then connect to that base station so you don't need to run extension cables around your house or get BT to stick in new sockets. If you opt for an answering machine ver-sion, this will be built into the main base station.

The key technology to look for in a cordless phone is DECT, which is short for Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications. This

ensures reasonable call quality and enables multiple handsets to share a single phone socket, but take manufacturers' claims about handset range with an enor-mous pinch of salt: like wireless computer networks, those "100m range" claims are only achievable in ideal conditions where there aren't walls, radiators and other obstacles to obstruct the signal. However, unlike earlier cordless phones, UK DECT devices shouldn't in-terfere with or suffer inter-ference from wireless net-works, baby monitors and other wireless devices.

There are other issues to consider. Handsets with 150-name memories sound great, but if those numbers aren't shared with your other handsets - something BT Stratus phones don't do - then that selling point soon becomes an annoyance. Watch out for answering machines with tiny re-cording times, too: 5 min-utes of recording sounds reasonable, but a few wordy messages when you're on holiday will quickly fill all the available memory. Re-member too that unlike tra-ditional corded phones, cordless models don't work in the event of a power cut.

Remember too that some services cost money, so for example Caller ID and Caller Display require you to sign up to a particular service, which may incur an extra charge.

Some phones offer addi-tional technologies, such as Voice over IP, or VoIP for short. This routes calls over the internet, and the Skype internet calling system is probably the most famous example of VoIP in action. Firms such as Gigaset do a nice line of Skype-compatible VoIP phones, but they need to be connected to your broadband line to make VoIP calls - and if you've got broadband, that probably means you've already got a Skype-capable computer, smartphone or tablet.

When it comes to actually spending money, we've got two pieces of advice: look online for reviews and never pay the RRP. User reviews on retailers' websites will tell you whether the speaker-phone is actually audible and whether the LCD display is legible, and using price checking sites such as Kelkoo.co.uk soon demon-strates that discounts of nearly 50% are widely avail-able on many models.

For a great display of spring flowering bulbs, start planting now.

Gardening By Pippa GreenwoodGardening By Pippa Greenwood

Start Planting Start Planting

I love this month, not least because it gives me carte blanche for thinking about

something I adore: spring flow-ering bulbs such as daffodils and other narcissus. Why? Be-cause for best results the bulbs for these spring delights need to be planted in the autumn. Planted from now onwards, they have a good chance to grow roots and start to build up energy for making a great dis-play next spring.

Choose your daffodils care-fully and you can have a display starting in late winter (from varieties such as ‘February Gold’) right through until mid-spring. When looking through the selection in catalogues or on garden centre shelves, just check flowering times which will be clearly indicated on the pack. Sometimes this will be as numerals rather than actual dates. For example, February to March could be indicated as 2-3 or sometimes even II-III.

Spring flowering bulbs are generally completely hardy in our climate so unless hit by serious extremes of weather (such as prolonged flooding), they will keep coming year after year.

There should be planting depths written on the packs of bulbs you buy or order, but if not it is generally better to plant slightly too deep rather than too shallowly. As a guide, I would advise planting at roughly three times the height of the bulb. If planted too shallowly they don’t perform so well and are more likely to be accidentally dug up when you’re planting other things.

Buying larger quantities of bulbs usually makes them sig-nificantly cheaper per bulb and

there are always multi-pack offers to be found, so shop about and choose carefully, but whatever you go for, unless you choose the very elite super-pricey bulbs, they’ll represent superb value for money. If you’re looking to plant a large expanse, perhaps a bank or the area along the sides of the drive, go for daffodils by the sack rather than by the bag.

I’m a real fan of crocus – choose from purple, lilac, striped, cream, yellow, orange or white. They’re very good value, but here’s a word of warning – I always find that the super-bargain priced mega-bags of crocus contain a lot of yellow and orange crocus which the sparrows love to shred. It’s better value to pay a little more for smaller single colour bags and avoid the yel-lows and oranges.

Once established, spring bulbs multiply quite rapidly, so you should end up with more than you started with – this means it’s important to plant at the suggested distances apart, even if it may feel a little sparse for the first year or two. If you want a high-impact look from the start, then you can plant a little closer than suggested, but bear in mind the bulbs will be-come congested and need lift-ing and replanting all the sooner.

Spring flowering bulbs need little attention once established – just give them an occasional feed and once the clumps be-come congested, divide and replant them to give each bulb more space so it can fulfil its potential.

Where to grow them: Try simple daffodils like

‘Carlton’, ‘King Alfred’ or Eng-

lish bluebells grown in random plantings, scattered and then planted where they fall, beneath trees in your garden. They’ll look great and often produce a really good display beneath the outer spread of trees where it may otherwise be difficult to encourage much else to grow.

Shrubs and even climbers can also be used for naturalised bulb plantings, but because they’re smaller, grow the more diminu-tive bulbs such as miniature Narcissus ‘Tete a Tete’, ‘Hawera’, ‘Peeping Tom’, rich blue grape hyacinths or delicate Chi-nodoxa.

On steep banks where gar-dening is difficult, why not grow masses of bulbs? Planting on the near vertical may be tricky, but once there you can enjoy the display for years to come.

Pots or other good-looking containers make great homes for bulbs. If you’ve fallen for anything particularly small or expensive, pots can be the an-swer and will mean you can enjoy and not lose those tiny spring bulb jewels amongst their larger relatives.

Larger planters including tubs and window boxes are brilliant for bulbs too – try a host of golden daffodils in a smart blue pot, some delicate dwarf iris or Iris reticulata in a window box or pot on the front steps where you’ll be able to enjoy their good looks and their subtle perfume.

Whichever type of spring bulb you have in mind, and wher-ever you intend to grow them, start planning and buying now so that they can be in the ground promptly.

B ach Flower Reme-dies are a wonder-ful resource that

can help everyone to achieve greater balance and harmony in their lives in a simple, natural and effective way. They can help to relieve stress, increase energy levels, gain confidence, improve sleep, overcome shyness, assist hormonal issues, conquer fears, cope with grief or trauma plus all other emotionally based problems.

The remedies provide help in a safe, natural and effective way and can assist us to rediscover the positive side of ourselves. The philosophy is to treat the negative emotion be-fore it leads to stress and illness. The positive plant energy neutralises the negative energy of the emotion and restores the mind to its natural, posi-tive state.

After a consultation to

determine which reme-

dies are correct for you, Kathryn will mix up your own personalised remedy bottle and you will take 4 drops 4 times a day in any drink. One bottle usually lasts about 3 weeks. Any residue left is great for all plants!

D o you feel like you never get finished with the laundry? Is

there evidence of the laun-dry process all over your home? Are there soured tow-els in the washing machine because you forgot about them? Do you have a dryer full of wrinkled clothes be-cause you were on the phone when the buzzer went off? If you actually folded them are they still on top of your dryer or piled in your laundry basket waiting to be put away?

Laundry is just like dishes.

If you eat on plates and drink water out of glasses; you will have dirty dishes. If you get up and get dressed and get ready for bed you will have dirty clothes. Dishes or clothes don’t magically get clean, someone has to lift a hand to start the process. Starting the process is just the beginning of five step journey of climbing Mount Washmore!

One day you wake up to no

clean underwear. So you either have to go buy some new undies or do the laun-dry. By this time you have worn every clean item of clothing you have and Mount Washmore seems like Mount Everest. Where do you start?

If your laundry has gotten

out of hand there is a good chance that you do not have a routine for staying on top of it! I am going to teach you how to get it done and then give you a routine for keep-ing up with it.

We are going on a laundry

scavenger hunt. Put on some fun music! Go to your laun-dry room and check the washer and dryer for forgot-ten clothes. Start sorting those clothes into piles: Whites, delicates, colors, jeans, towels and sheets. Then check your laundry hot spots; the bathroom floor and hamper, treadmill han-dlebars and the bedroom chair. You know your favor-ite dumping ground for dirty clothes. Get the children involved too. Ask them to look under their beds and in their closets. Keep sorting the clothing into your piles.

Next gather up all your

laundry baskets and put your laundry detergent, softener and stain pre-treater in one basket. Then go to all your closets and gather up all the empty hangers and put them in another basket. You have lots of piles of clothes. Put single loads in garbage bags and take them to your car. You probably have ten or more loads. The next thing you are hunting for in this scavenger hunt is money. Go cushion diving or to your

change jar to gather up coins for the Laundromat. Now don’t fuss that you have a washing machine and a dryer. You have not been using them. It is time to get this done!

Before you leave the house,

clean out one drawer for each family member. Most of the clothes in your drawers you do not wear because if you did they would be in the dirty clothes bags. So put them in a give-away bag. This way when you get home from the Laundromat you will have a place to put your clean clothes. As you are folding the clothes at the Laundromat don’t fold things that you don’t love or that does not fit. If it is too stained to give away then put it in the trash. Have a give-away bag handy as you are doing your folding. Don’t take anything home that is just going to become a stum-bling block to your daily routine of doing the laundry.

A load a day keeps you

from having to scale Mount Washmore! Don’t wait till you are overwhelmed.
