Elizabeth moved to the Clyde Valley, thirty years ago when she married her husband William, who runs an engineering aviation business in Lanark.

Elizabeth’s passions are her family and her fashion business. She is the proud mother of two daughters and a son.

Elizabeth grew up in rural Stirlingshire with her twin sister, Anette, where making your own fun and being creative in play was a part of normal life. However, it was Anette who went to Art School whilst Elizabeth embarked on a career in catering. Elizabeth has always sewn. Her inspiration being her Nana, also named Elizabeth, who was a talented seamstress, making garments with fabric from any available source.

When the children were small, Elizabeth began a soft furnishing business from home, working around the needs of the family. She specialised in bespoke, interlined and hand-stitched pieces, mostly curtains. When the recession hit, Elizabeth decided to diversify into fashion. Her big break came when she made three waistcoats from Harris Tweed and set off to London, to show her designs at Liberty’s Open Day. She had to stand in the queue with four thousand people to get the chance to pitch her designs in four minutes. Liberty’s loved her unique designs and advised her to start on a collection.

Elizabeth Martin clothes have simple, clean lines but are all eff ortlessly chic and feminine. All of her clothes are beautifully fi nished – all coats, jackets and waist coats have incredible silk linings. Her lace blouses are demure but sexy at the same time.

Elizabeth is passionate about using Scottish fabrics in all of her designs. She uses the fi nest hand-woven Harris tweed, all made in the Hebrides and lace from Morton Young & Borland in Ayrshire. They are the only Mill in the World producing lace on original Nottingham lace looms.

The Elizabeth Martin Brand is about using Scottish fabrics with a rich heritage. All garments proudly carry a made in Scotland label.

Elizabeth is a very unassuming lady. She was tickled to see her material, stored in the mills beside fabric destined for Chanel.

In 2014 she was one of nine designers picked by Scotland Re:Designed to take part in a catwalk show in Glasgow. As a result of this, she was chosen as one of a handful of Scots designers to exhibit in 2016 at a massive trade show in Hong Kong by the Scottish Government and Scotland Re:Designed. “She cried for a week when she got the call.”

Elizabeth is as unique as her fashions – a rare mixture of incredible talent coupled with great humility. A small lady possessed of huge determination. Please check out her website atwww.elizabethmartintweed.co.uk

I was delighted to have the opportunity to meetwith Elizabeth Martin, an award winningfashion designer,at her beautiful home in the Clyde Valley.

The event took place in the salon itself and it proved to be a fitting location for the show with gorgeous lighting and glamorous décor as the backdrop to a show full of beautiful fashions.

The staff from the salon were great hostesses ensuring a glass of bubbly was in hand throughout the evening. The owners from the boutique did a great job of talking us through each carefully styled look. The hair was also taken into consideration to compliment each outfit specifically. The hair colour of the evening was inspired by the ‘French Girl’, rich chocolate browns with effortlessly textures waves and movement. The wonder hair product of the evening however, which was used on most of the models hair was a clear gloss. The product which you can use yourself at home instantly added vibrancy and sparkling shine to the hair leaving a super healthy polished look.

Moving onto fashion there was definitely a piece for everyone in the array of versatile looks. From cute floral trousers and floaty feminine tops to ladylike dresses and funky jumpsuits, the range of styles was truly impressive. The majority of styles ranged from 8-14

Barbecue Pork Burgers

To Contact Vision Magazine CALL 07957 358 355 or email [email protected] Contact Vision Magazine CALL 07957 358 355 or email [email protected]

METHODMake the ColeslawIn a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, milk, and vinegar until smooth. Toss in the cabbage, carrot, chives, and salt and pepper to taste and gently mix to coat. Let the coleslaw stand at room temperature, uncovered, while you cook the burgers or, if you prefer your coleslaw crisp, cover it and refrigerate for up to 8 hours.Make the barbecue pork burgers

In a small bowl, stir together the barbecue sauce, cayenne, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and vinegar.In a large bowl, gently mix together the pork, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce mixture until combined. Do not over-mix. Using your hands, gently form the mixture into 4 patties, each about 4 inches in diameter and 3/4 inch thick, being careful not to pack the pork too tightly.Grill burgers, fl ipping the burgers every few minutes, just until cooked through and no trace of pink remains, 6 to 10 minutes total. Then brush the top of each patty with 1 tablespoon remaining barbecue sauce mixture (or more if you like things mess), fl ip the burgers again, and grill for 30 seconds. Repeat, so that both sides have been covered with the barbecue sauce mixture. Brush the cut sides of each of the buns with the remaining barbecue sauce mixture.Assemble the barbecue pork burgers, starting with the buns and the burgers and adding a heaping spoonful of coleslaw atop each one.

review books screenTwo-year-old Katie Davis was abducted from her mother’s home some time in the early hours of the morning. There’s something wrong though and DCI Andy Gilchrist suspects that Andrea Davis might have abducted - possibly even murdered - her own child. Then it starts to get political when Gilchrist discovers that Davis’ father is Dougal Davis, the former MSP who was forced to resign his seat when he was accused of physically abusing his third wife. Even disgraced

politicians have some clout and there’s the added complication of the fact that Davis’s first wife went to school Gilchrist’s ultimate boss. Just to make matters even worse Gilchrist finds that he could be working with DI Tosh MacIntosh - a man for whom he has no respect. But could there be an answer to the abduction in the form of Sammie Bell, a convicted paedophile who had moved back to his home town just a few weeks ago?

Gilchrist is very much part of a team (rather than the rogue cop who goes off and solves cases all on his own despite his superiors’ best attempts to impede him) and I liked the relationship between him and DS Jessie Janes, who’ll make you cringe with some of the things she says, but usually because you hope that you’d have had the guts to say them yourself, but know you wouldn’t.

It’s a good story and the plot has more layers than an onion. Gilchrist’s stationed in St Andrews, which might sound nice, but has the same sort of problems as everywhere else and rich and poor living cheek by jowl. Nothing’s quite as simple as it might look on the surface and the Davis family certainly has more than its fair share of secrets they’d prefer to stay that way. There’s a lot of unravelling to do and there are times when Gilchrist wonders if he’s losing his touch - or if his job might be in danger. It’s a very satisfying solution though - and it ticks all the boxes.

Blood Torment (DCI Andy Gilchrist)by T F Muir

Ghostbusters makes its long-awaited return, rebooted with a cast of hilarious new characters. Thirty years after the beloved original franchise took the world by storm, director Paul Feig brings his fresh take to the supernatural comedy, joined by some of the funniest actors working today – Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, and Chris Hemsworth. This summer, they’re here to save the world!

Hel is the ultimate gloomy, angst-ridden teen. Her dad’s hardly ever around, her mum is at best indifferent to her, and her brothers are evil little beasts. She lives in a land of sleet and noise and ice. But that’s not the worst of it. She has been, since birth, half human and half corpse, with all the accompanying odours that produces, and - wait for it – there’ll never be an end to

her misery because she’s eternal. And you feel hard done by because you have to take the occasional exam?

So which is worse - living a whole life in low-level misery, shoulders hunched against the world as you stagger around on gangrenous legs hugging a grudge the size of Antarctica? Or being whisked away for a few brief moments of happiness, where the sweetest guy ever smiles at you and doesn’t seem to even notice the stench of rotting flesh, just before you’re condemned to rule forever in the fog-world of the dead? Not much of a choice, is it? Not that anyone asked Hel for her opinion, mind you.

After all this, you wouldn’t exactly expect our heroine to be a cheery little soul, would you? Unlike the author’s other stories based on Norse legends, which manage to find light-hearted moments in the midst of all the deadly peril, the tone here would make your average Goth seem positively upbeat. After a short time in the balmy groves of Asgard (not that time has any real meaning to the gods and goddesses who dwell there) she’s been ripped away from her beloved Baldr (conveniently ignoring the fact that he has a wife and son), her guests are decomposing and there’s a nasty little dragon nearby whose favourite snack treat is slow-roasted dead person. Okay, she gets to be queen, but that’s hardly a plus in a place where nobody, but nobody, wants to be, including her.
