[[ [[welcome[ [

e’re thrilled to share a behind-the-scenes peek with you this week, which shows how the National-Trust’s Killerton estate near Exeter was trans-

formed into the White Witch’s wintry domain and the people who made the magic happen. The festive celebrations become more dazzling every year at Killerton and, as Steven Haywood, who took the stunning photos reveals, this year’s shoot even involved a ‘stunt-double’ wardrobe.

Don’t miss the opportunity to enter to win one of exciting new knitwear designer Stacie Clark’s gorgeous scarves. She’s taken knitting-and cro-

chet to a whole new level and as she reveals, her design work has been her salvation. It’s some-thing she’s particularly keen to share with young people in the Westcountry.

If you’re keen to shed a few pounds before Christmas, you’re among friends. Our columnist Gillian Molesworth has joined the gym and been lim-bering up in her leg-warmers. She’s found

things have moved on since she mastered the Grapevine, but she’s already found out where the ‘pin thingies’ go in the machines. If she doesn’t inspire you, then she’ll certainly make you smile. Happy reading - and have a lovely weekend.

have joined the gym, for the fi rst time in years and years. I’ve decided I am a lump of lard and

it’s time to get in shape. A muscu-lar young man took me on a lap around the weight machines and told me where to put all the pin thingies – I only tried to mount one of them backwards, which I thought was pretty good going given how long it’s been. Then he gave me a schedule of classes, and I’ve been working my way through them.

It’s funny how fi tness trends come and go. I still remember when Jane Fonda’s video was the in thing. The 1980s were full of leggy women of startling mus-cularity really caning it on the aerobics mat – they didn’t mess around in those days. All cardio, all the time.

The 90s were more about looking svelte and beautiful doing yoga, and trying to hide that when you were supposed to be concentrat-ing on serenity and breathing you were in fact fi ercely compet-ing with the woman on your left by attempting bizarre poses like the “fl ying crow”.

My formative gym years were spent doing step aerobics. Do you remember that? You put a step on the ground, which you could adjust to your level of fi tness. The old ladies went for a low riser, most of us went medium, and the scary gym addicts went for the so-high-you-have-to-bend-your-knee-past-90-degrees-to-get-up-on-it level.

On came the bouncy music, and up went the instructor. One, two, three, tap. Up down, centre change. Around the world, eight beats, go.

The fi rst time I tried it I felt like the most pathetic human ever, wallowing all over the place. You had to have good rhythm to do step aerobics, and be quick at obeying instructions. I did it twice a week until fi nally I was

dancing all over that thing and the instructor put me up at the front so the new girls could copy my fl awless technique. Yessss.

Alas, step aero-bics are well out of fashion in 2015. Why? When it took me all those months to perfect the step-change and the squat shuffl e?

Times move on. I have now sampled Spin, Pilates, Total Body Conditioning, and the rather startlingly named Pump FX, where you lift lots of weights and do lunges and squats and press ups and so on.

I’m actually not as unfi t as I feared, owing to the dog walks I suppose. But I’m a weakling when it comes to upper body. Three reps with the weights and I’m all in.

It’s going to be a while before I get to be in the front row again.

BRING ON THE BOLLYJoanna Lumley’s confessed she’s just as a-twitter as we are in anticipation of

the Absolutely Fabulous movie, which is set to come out next year. “I’m plenty excited” she says. “I’m telling you, this � lm is very funny.” Having played the

chain-smoking, champagne-chugging companion to Jennifer Saunders’ Edina Monsoon for over two decades, she admits her veteran

character, Patsy Stone, is now “losing it”. And Patsy’s awful leering ‘special

grin’? That’s a quirk Joanna’s at-tributed to her idol Elvis Presley!

All eyes have been on the Beckham’s 13-year-old son Romeo in Burberry’s star-studded Christmas campaign. But he’s not the only one in the festive ad with famous family. Tavistock-raised model and � tness instructor Toby Huntington-Whiteley puts in an ap-

pearance, alongside his supermodel sister Rosie. Posting a sneak-peek behind the scenes photo, he Tweeted “very excited to be part of the cam-paign.” This year he made his model-ling debut with Jacamo (above). His future’s looking… well, rosy!

Eek! Peter Andre has confessed he doesn’t wear any undies on Strictly! The Mysterious Girl singer who wed doctor Emily MacDonagh at

Mamhead House near Exeter in July, revealed he goes commando on the dance� oor due to the complex nature of his costumes.

The reality TV star told Woman And Home magazine: “ The shirts are held in place with poppers, a bit like a leotard. If you wear boxer shorts

with them, it’s uncomfortable – so I take them o� .”

Early days: Ben was born in Middlesex but moved to Totnes when he was a child. He was raised by musical parents, listening to Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell and Simon and Garfunkel.

Writing: Ben began writing his own songs when he was 11. “I was quite an imaginative little kid I guess.”

Study: A� er attending King Edward VI Community College in Totnes and Torquay Boys’ Grammar School he studied Journalism at University College Falmouth, Cornwall but le� early to focus on making music full-time.

On tour: A� er a month of sold-out dates across Europe and the UK, Ben was asked to sign for Island Records.

Awards: Ben was nominated for two Brit awards in 2013, Best Breakthrough Act and British Male Solo Artist. He won both.

Albums: Ben has released two

albums: Every Kingdom (2011) and I Forget Where We Were (2014).

Country lad: His � rst songs were recorded in a studio in a converted barn.

Festivals: This summer Ben has played festivals all over the world. He says: “I’ve been very fortunate that the screaming girls haven’t put o� the guys at the back, who are still listening.”

Family: His mother is a jeweller and his father is an architect.

Ego: Ben says he’s been shocked at the behaviour of fellow musicians on the festival circuit. “I keep out of the way… Everyone around them is catering for their needs and they’re still trying to be this larger-than-life character, you just think: ‘You could be normal in this scenario.’ ”

Songs: Ben’s songs are very personal, he admits: “I just write about myself all the time.”

STACIE CLARK

eindeer jumpers? We’re so over them this Christmas – all the West girls want is one of de-signer Stacie Clark’s statement snoods.

The 25-year old fashion graduate from St Austell, pictured left, has been making waves with her fi rst signature collection in chunky mulberry, blue and pink crochet. While perhaps not for shrinking violets, her woollens convey the drama of the catwalk in a covetable, wearable way.

“It’s about creating fashion that’s unique to each person,” says Stacie, who was

recently named Urban Designer of the year at the national Sponsor Me Awards for up-and-coming fashion de-signers. “At the moment, everything’s made to order and the customer can

pick and choose the colours.“I think the whole idea is that fashion’s

about people being able to express them-selves and not having to be like someone else because society tells them they should look a certain way.”

Stacie was taught to knit and crochet at the age of seven by her mum, Bev. “I used to go round with a clipboard and tell people I was a fashion designer,” she laughs.

Yet far from being a pipe dream, fashion

later helped her find a way out of the darkness, after suffering depression which developed before she hit her teens and led to her self-harm-ing from the age of 11.

“I was first diagnosed when I was 14,” she explains. “I’d never even heard of it and had no idea what I was going through. I thought I was going crazy. I had to physically feel pain, in order to distract myself from feeling it emotion-ally.

“My creative side helped me get through it, but then I suffered another two episodes in my late teens and early twenties.”

Floored by this and an overwhelming lack of self confidence, it took her three years to muster up the courage to enrol on a fashion design degree at Plymouth’s College of Art.

“But at uni there was so much focus on being an individual, it helped me accept who I am,” she says. “It was the first time I was ever proud of myself. I also found comfort and relief in design work and that helped me overcome my problems. Now, I want to share that experience.”

Launched just two months ago, as her label, Stacie Clark Knitwear, grows, the young design-er wants to give something back. “One area of the business I want to develop is to help people with their self confidence or mental health issues,” she says.

“It’s important to me. I want to turn negative

energy into something positive. I think more people suffer from depression than people know and feel they have to hide it. I think there’s the perception with teenagers that it’s ‘just hor-mones’.

“My plans are to eventually start classes for teenagers with mental health problems, depres-sion or anxiety to express themselves through being creative. I want to give people a sense of self worth that’s lacking in depression.

“It’s good people are be-ginning to rec-ognise it as a serious prob-lem, but a lot of people suffer in silence. Opening yourself up cre-atively can be a truly amazing way to get to know yourself. Designing has given me self-confidence I’d never felt before and it’s given me something to be proud of.”

The twelve months since she graduated with first class honours from art school have already seen Stacie put a number of plans into action. She’s expanded her graduate folio into her first collection under her own label and excitingly, her

designs are set to be listed in London-based style bible MI. Magazine.net’s carefully curated store.

Hot news on the fashion scene, it’s packed with designer picks ranging from Victoria Beck-ham jeans and Laboutin ankle boots, to the best high street finds along with clothes and acces-sories by fashion’s latest protegees.

“I was very excited when they approached me, although I’m still not sure how they found me,” she says. “I’m thrilled that they think my work

could be stocked alongside them and it should be up there in the next couple of months.”

Stacie’s also in the process of talent-scouting for a Westcoun-try based net-

work of knitters, with plans to outsource pro-duction as her orders grow. It takes her around eight hours to crochet a scarf and twenty to fashion her adorable dress-up dolly style frocks, which are the priciest items in the range at £355.

“At Plymouth, it’s part of the curriculum that you make your own collections as well as design them. I was the only one who made everything

by hand, though. I didn’t sit on a machine at all. It was so time consuming! I’ve got a stack of nee-dles at home. Baskets and baskets full.”

Although her mum has always had needles at the ready when Stacie’s been under pressure, she plans to begin her search for her helping hands in the Westcountry. While she may eventually have to look further afield, she intends the label to be an entirely made-in-Britain label, with hopes too, of developing bespoke yarns in col-laboration with Westcountry farmers.

Stacie also knits hats for Plymouth clothing label Brave, which was set up by a friend and fellow graduate Brooke Tippett, who’s creat-ing fashion using trims made from re-purposed vintage fur.

Together they plan to visit London Fashion Week in February to investigate its platform opportunities for emerging young designers. If they like what they see, then a September showcase could be on the cards, provided, adds Stacie, it draws in the industry buyers she aims to attract.

As for celebrity endorsement, Rita Ora X-Fac-tors high on Stacie’s wishlist, she reveals. “I’d love to see her wear my stuff, she’s very cool,” she adds. “I’m not huge on celebrity culture, but that’s definitely the way to go.”www.stacieclarkknitwear.co.uk

Emma had to pencil on eyebrows

an inch higher than her own

Emma Wakeham is the volunteer development manager at Killerton and lives in Crediton. For the day of the Christmas photo-shoot, she was transformed into the evil White Witch of Narnia.

The White Witch

Emma says: Those really aren’t my real eyebrows! Mine are about an inch lower, honestly. I used to love the Narnia books when I was a little girl, so this story is very familiar to me – I never saw myself as the wicked witch though. But we all pitch in to the Christmas preparations for Killerton, as it is such an important time of year for the house and estate.I was wearing a proper corset from the National Trust costume collection for the shoot which was extremely uncomfortable to be stuck in for seven hours. The dress came from our set of dressing up costumes, which we use for shoots and events. In my day job, I manage Killerton’s 350 volunteers, who help with everything from gardening to admin. We also have a team of 27 volunteers dedicated solely to Christmas decorations for the house. They meet once a week on Wednesdays all year round, creating handmade decorations for the whole house. And then, for three weeks in November, we close to the public and our volunteers come in seven days a week, to make the house and gardens look completely magical and festive.If anyone is interested in getting involved as a volunteer here at Killerton, please do get in touch via the National Trust website. Our volunteers really do enhance what we can offer here, and it’s a lovely place to be.

EdmundToby Haywood, nine, lives in east Devon. He was trans-formed into Edmund, one of the children who went through the wardrobe to Narnia.

Toby says: Steve, the photographer, is my uncle. So when he asked me to

be in his photo shoot, I said yes, because it was for a good cause. For the morning it was OK, then we went outside for hours and it was a bit cold and windy. I was wearing a tank top and shorts. There was a lot of hanging around while they got everything ready, but I didn’t really mind. My mum Katie is a seam-stress and she made my costume. It’s nothing like the sort of clothes I would normally wear, very old-fash-ioned, but I got used to it – I quite liked the clothes, really. The pictures look really great.

I’m very interested in football and I play on Thurs-days and Saturdays. I was offered a part in a play re-cently but to be honest I was too busy. I’m more of a joker, so I’d like to be in a pantomime. But when I grow up, I wouldn’t want to be a model or a photogra-pher. I would like to be a Blue Peter presenter.

The house managerBryony Wilde is visitor services manager for Killerton, and mas-terminded the Narnia shoot at the house this year.

Bryony says: Our annual Christ-mas photoshoot is a brilliant way of drumming up interest and creating

a buzz about the whole event. This year’s shoot was bigger than ever – we really went to town. We bought the life-sized Aslan lion for £500 from a props factory at Bovey Tracey and managed to hire the lamppost from the same company. We were very lucky that Imelda Hirst, who is Susan in the pictures, is the younger sister of one of our staff members. She is only 16 and, not only did she appear in the shoot, she also did all the White Witch’s make-up as she is studying stage make-up at Exeter College.

The Chronicles of Narnia books are still in copy-right, so I had to work closely with the CS Lewis estate and get everything approved. They were very supportive and right behind what we are doing here. Christmas is such a huge time of year for us, for six weeks we really do try to offer the perfect festive day out for all the family. This year, we will be doing everything from selling Christmas trees to serving Christmas lunches, as well as hosting a traditional Victorian Father Christmas, dressed in green.

The photographerSteven Haywood is a freelance photographer who works closely with the National Trust, both in the South West and nationally. He lives in south Devon with his wife and daughter.

This is the third year I have photographed the Killerton Christmas shoot, and each year gets more elaborate and over the top – it’s a lot of fun and takes huge amounts of teamwork to get the shoot done in a single day.

It was a six light shoot, with spotlights behind to give a magical glow, a snow machine, a smoke machine. I bid £30 on eBay for the old wardrobe that we used outside. Then afterwards I did some post-production work to make the images look even more snowy and frozen.

I’d spotted Emma at a previous shoot at Killer-ton and thought she would be wonderful as the White Witch, as she has amazing cheekbones. Then when I saw Andy, we all knew he just had to be Mr Tumnus. I told him he was banned from shaving his beard off until after the shoot.

The National Trust is my biggest client, and I really enjoy working with them – I’ve been all over the place photographing for them just re-cently, from a Christmas shoot at Arlington Court in north Devon to photographing the Christmas garland at Cotehele in Cornwall. Last year we did The Nutcracker, and the year before it was A Christmas Carol. And as soon as Christmas is over, we’ll be thinking of how to top this for next year.

Change of sceneWe couldn’t take this beautiful

wardrobe outside, so the outdoors

shots are done with one found on

eBay for £30

Mr TumnusAndy Bramwell is visitor services o� cer in charge of the outdoors at Killerton and lives in Exeter. For the photoshoot he was transformed into Mr Tumnus, the friendly faun who met the Pevensey

children under a lamppost in Narnia.

Andy says: I’ve only been working at Killerton for three months when I found myself stripped to the waist and perching up a tree – in Novem-ber. Nobody warned me that this would be what the job entails. Apparently it is my own fault for having a beard.

My horns were pinned on with hairgrips, while

the ears were glued on and took quite a bit of washing to remove. In between shots, I was busy driving the props all around the estate. It was a pretty frantic day but lots of fun.

A new way to shine

Metal rocks this season – gold, copper and silver are hot decor choices. Gabrielle Fagan sources shiny pieces for every room

etallics are weaving their magic throughout our homes, with glitter-ing gold, blushing copper, beautiful bronze and even cooler touches of

white gold or silver making their mark.It’s all about putting on the glitz and ramping

up the glamour as we lavish ever more care and attention on rooms, and create cosseting sanctu-aries where we can relax and entertain in style.

“I’m secretly a fan of a bit of bling, which doesn’t have to be confi ned to Christmas bau-bles!” says designer Clarissa Hulse.

“In fact, I regard metallics as another neutral shade, as they harmonise with so many colours. Combine them with different textures, such as sheers, velvets and linens – one of my favourites this season is an antique gold metallic linen – and they’ll add another dimension to your scheme.

“Metallic wallpaper can be particularly effec-tive as it will refl ect the light and add drama, especially in a dark room, or brighten a neutral space with pops of contrasting colour and soft metallic accessories,” she adds.

All that glitters needn’t be gold, although it’s tipped as the hot metal for 2016. Instead, you could opt for a heady cocktail of fi nishes.

Designer Kelly Hoppen suggests mixing warm metals, such as copper and rose gold, with cool ones like silver, or for a more edgy effect, consid-er a layered mix of silver, gold and black.

Metallics add a touch of glamour to an interior. Shake up your style and invest in a cocktail cabi-net, gilded of course, an item which is rapidly be-coming a must-have for fashionable homes.

“There’s a real return to luxury – the growing

use of burnished metals is part of that trend - and more lavish entertaining which has inspired a revival of cocktail cabinets,” says Alison Cork, founder of online interiors company Within.

“Two of my favourite pieces at home are my gold cocktail cabinet, which has a cartoon Dal-matian dog painted on one door and a shocking pink interior, and I complement it with a golden metal pineapple ornament. They both inject a party spirit to the room.”

Copper is the new black when it comes to decor and no room is complete without at least one accessory in this metal, whose colour evokes the bur-nished gold and brown shades of autumn leaves.

“Over the past year, we’ve seen classic metallic fi nishes, such as chrome and stainless steel, take a backseat as other richer metals have crept into the spotlight,” says Laura Pagan, founder of Pagazzi Lighting.

“Warmer and more inviting than cool steel, but less audacious than full-on gold, copper is the perfect material for adding a touch of rustic glamour to living spaces. It contrasts well with raw natural materials, such as leather and wood,

or place it next to greys, khakis and warm blush tones to create a luxurious and calming colour palette.”

Golden rules are meant to be followed and you surely won’t go wrong if you follow a gilded, glit-tering theme, because gold is a strong feature in

all the home collections for next year.

“Gold and tones of gold are being used everywhere in the design world, as metallics con-tinue to add that little touch of glamour to our interiors,” says Rebecca Williamson, senior colour design and content man-ager at paint company Dulux, whose 2016 colour of the year is Cherished Gold.

“It’s a recurring colour and material at design fairs and in graphic design, as well as in ar-chitecture, fashion, beauty and interior decoration. We feel that

Cherished Gold is a beautiful next step, a natural evolution and transition from Copper Blush, our choice for last year.

“The shade combines naturally with a vari-ety of shades including tan, dark chocolate and duck egg blue, and creates an industrial edge, or – paired with blush pinks – conjures a more femi-nine atmosphere.”

Gardens

Dogwoods are looking ravishing at this time of the year. Devon’s Anne Swithinbank, panellist on Radio 4’s Gardeners’ Question Time, thinks you’ll agree

eaves are dropping in great num-bers, clogging paths, drives and lanes in great drifts. You can almost tell where you are by the sound of

feet shuffl ing through them. Field maple is a bit of a damp squib but the whitebeam in my dad’s garden makes a fi ne crackle. In towns and cities, there’s the unmistakeable clatter of London plane leaves fl ying in the wake of buses and con-fusing the marks of parking bays. Soon, decidu-ous trees and shrubs will be bare and for colour and interest, we’ll have to rely on stem, bark, berry and evergreen.

On a recent visit to a friend in her well-planted garden, we passed several fl owering dogwoods sporting their distinctive, almost strawberry-like fruits. We agreed that these beautiful trees are surprisingly uncommon in gardens and also re-fl ected on what a lot the cornus tribe has to offer. In height, they range from the evergreen creep-ing dogwood or dwarf cornel Cornus canaden-sis rarely exceeding15cm/6in to large shrubs and trees like the magnifi cent Pacifi c dogwood Cornus nuttallii up to 12m/40ft. Some dogwoods have festive, variegated foliage and others are grown for their colourful winter stems.

C.canadensis makes a great ground cover plant for acidic soils and produces its fl owers and white bracts in summer. Spreading by creeping rhizomes, this forms a pretty carpet in be-tween rhododendrons. Next in the fussy stakes are the fl ower-ing dogwoods including C.kousa and C.capitata, who share a love of classic woodland garden con-ditions. A good, humus-rich but

We intend to remove an ugly conifer hedge and will replace it with something new. How can we create an attractive, temporary boundary between us and our neighbours,

while the new hedge grows?

Your best bet is a roll or rolls of lightweight but natural fencing material. These are made of split bamboo, willow, fern or reed. Attached to posts, this would both shelter the new hedge and make a screen. We use one at the back of a raised bed to hide an ugly wall. Do make sure you remove as much root from the old hedge as possible and dig the ground as well as you can, adding plenty of organic matter. I’m tempted to say you could grow some annual climbers up the screen from spring to autumn but this might impact on the hedge plants.

We still have some aubergine plants alive in the greenhouse. They are about 30cm/12in high and managed to produce only a few small fruits. We have trouble growing full

sized, fruitful plants from seed in one year. Will they overwinter?

Technically, this is possible, though it is likely the plants will need warmer conditions than just frost free. If you have more than one, try leaving one in the greenhouse and if there’s space, try another on or near a bright windowsill in the house at a minimum of about 13C/55F. Mist regularly with water to ward off spider mite, water when the compost surface begins to dry out and see what happens. Closely related Physalis will come through winter to fruit early the next year, so aubergines are certainly worth a try.

This week’s gardening tipsAnne’s advice for your garden

Q

• Clean the greenhouse inside and out to remove dirt and algae. More light will enter for better growth. I use a soft-headed broom, a little environmentally sound washing up liquid and then a rinse of clean water.

• Place pot feet under containers on the patio and

especially on soil beds. This is important to allow free escape of water. My onions are in pots and they certainly need good drainage.

• Continue to slice and chop carefully with the hoe in between salad plants to make sure weed seedlings cannot germinate. and take hold.

Cleanthe leaves of all your foliage houseplants to remove dirt, dust and any pests and absorb more light. Look through a magnifying glass to check for scale insects or mealy bug. Use a fresh cloth to avoid transferring pests from one to another. Any still making growth can have a liquid feed.

Beginto make an on-site compost pit where next year’s runner beans or pumpkins will grow. Excavate a deep hole or trench and fill with peelings from the kitchen, or cleared material from the garden. Add thin layers of soil as you go.

well-drained neutral to acidic soil is preferred and sun (so they can make good specimen trees) or light shade. These trees are not going to enjoy windy, waterlogged or dry, impoverished sites and would probably turn their toes up at frost pockets too. Most have showy white bracts sur-rounding the tiny flower clusters but in some cul-tivars (notably ‘Norman Hadden and ‘Porlock’) these bracts turn pink as they age. This year has seen a good set of the distinctive fruits, left hang-ing like baubles. Don’t try and eat them, as they can give mild stomach upsets.

Less fussy are two highly ornamental vari-egated cornus whose branches are arranged in tiers. The shorter of the two (C.alternifolia ‘Ar-gentea’) is known as pagoda dogwood and reach-es 6m/20ft in height and spread while the taller wedding cake tree (C.contraversa ‘Variegata’) can reach a height and spread of 8m//25ft. Both produce white bracts but these barely show up against the white-margined leaves. If you grow them mainly for the flowers (bracts), then choose dogwoods with plain green foliage to set them off.

The willow-like Cornus alba and C.stolonifera are arguably the unfussiest of the lot and useful

where soils are rather wet. Stalwarts of the winter garden, they show beautiful stem col-ours of orange, red or green. The stems and their colours are stronger when they are pruned hard or ‘stooled’ back to within a bud or two of older growth every year. This encourages a fresh spurt of vigorous, quality new stems every year. Left to their own devices, these shrubs can almost be a nuisance as they’ll sucker into large colonies. If you want to grow more of them, now is the time to take hardwood cuttings of healthy bare stems. Trim them into 23cm/9in lengths by cutting below a node (position on the stem where a leaf grows or grew) at the base and above one at the top and insert into good soil so only the top third is showing above ground. C.sanguinea is common to hedgerows and has given rise to the orange stemmed cultivar ‘Midwinter Fire’.

Cornus mas is different again. Known as Cor-nelian cherry, it is reminiscent of witch hazel, since the bunches of pale yellow flowers open against bare stems in a similar way and early too, during February and March. Native to Europe, is has a long history of cultivation in Britain and would be a good shrub to add into a wild hedge.

LBD this party season [[

Lips and nails: Is coordinating your colours still on trend? In my view, it’s a look that works overtime. And with the party season upon us, it’s not just matchy-matchy as far as your pout and pinkies are concerned: try teaming your statement shades with a party

frock.If a classic little black dress is your go-to essential, pick out a colour that will pop. Siren Dita Von Teese, who knows how to wear it, has launched a vampy red with her name on it, with M.A.C. Traffic-stopping reds also rocked the catwalks this autumn, while rose nudes were big news, too. Victoria Beckham teamed glossed lips with buffed nails finished with Nails Inc’s Westminster Bridge matte top coat. The most unusual colour trend? Khaki – included in Burberry’s seasonal nails palette (£15 at John Lewis). Keep your colouring in mind, if you’re aiming for a signature look. Yellow-based brown hues work with olive skin; while underlying blue tones flatter the fair.

you’re darker. Cherry red’s just the hue for House of Foxy’s vintage-style prom dress, while we love the autumnal tone of JD Wil-liam’s pleather midi.

Your starsby Cassandra Nye

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21)What happens or starts to happen this week is the beginning of the future. By

midweek a light seems to have been shone on the whole situation. Allow yourself to have feelings and show your emotions. There is more love around you than you realise. Just reach out and accept what is on offer if it feels right.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20)This is a time to be with others, espe-cially friends and family, and plan some

fun. You won’t regret lightening up your life. As the week goes on happiness lifts you up and makes your heart sing. Have you been miss-ing out because of self-imposed restrictions? Well, it is time to stop all that and get on with life!

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19)This time of the year sees you in your element. Now I will be boring and ask

you to pace yourself. Who wants exhaus-tion? Please, not you! There are willing hands around but things can be a bit of a shambles if they are not in the right place at the right time.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20)Certain parts of this week see you very contented. Overall, though, there is still a

restlessness that drives you on. Try to use this now to be in the middle of everything when the holiday arrives. Who can resist your sincere offers and your fun suggestions? This is certainly the way to soup up your social life in the coming weeks.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20)It is a week to be fl exible and try to fi t in with others. You may not get exactly what you want right now but building

on your relationships will certainly help. With a strong desire to move on to the next thing on your list it can be hard to slow down to wait for someone else to catch up. There are emotional reasons to stay cool that make sense. Carry on being supportive to someone even though it seems to be taking rather a long time.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21)) It is amazing how we can suddenly go ‘out of character’ when faced with a

frustrating person or situation. However, I am here to ask you to try and be tolerant when someone appears to slam a door in your face. Before taking something personally, fi nd out why. Ask ‘why’ again when it comes to your love life. Yes, it is proving an emotional week.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21)Is there a little voice in your head telling you what you should have done?

How annoying and tiring it can be! It is better just to live in the present. Why worry about what has gone before or what may never happen? Bring some fun into it by seeing challenges as part of the ‘game of life’.

CANCER (June 22 - July 22)In an emotional week there are many highs and some lows. You seem to

bounce from one to the other with ease. Could this be because you at last know where you are going? With the emphasis on home and family, hopes and dreams seem to be all bun-dled into one. Enjoy the ride and roll along with the fun.

LEO (July 23 - August 23)Showing your strength this week means being kind and inventive. A

charming approach is great but be care-ful that you are not sending out a strong ro-mantic signal if that is not what you intended. Even so you should not take the world on your shoulders and then blame yourself if some of your efforts do not work.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23)Isn’t it about time that you had the

space to enjoy what you have achieved? Looking at what others have done can only serve to make you pleased with your current place. There is very little pointm though, in asking you to consider your next move careful-ly. Full of ideas and enthusiasm, you just want to get moving.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23)Are you tired of being taken for granted? Someone should realise that

‘doormat’ is not in your job description! Using charm is still an option to smooth over hurt feelings, but use it sparingly. This is not the time of the year to make waves socially as it can upset those around you.

Zoe Ball

This week’s sign: Happy birthday to...The sun moves from Scorpio into Sagittarius on Monday, the house of the independent-minded and adventurous. Free-spirited and mindful of the road ahead, those born under this star sign make kind and sel� ess friends. They’ll o� en say what they think, but without meaning to hurt and such honest advice can be more valuable than the words you’d prefer to hear.

born November 23, 1970 DJ and Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two host Zoe is the daughter of children’s TV presenter Johnny Ball (who made maths fun for us in the 1970s and 80s) and began her own TV career in the CBBC Broom Cupboard. She lives in Hove, East Sussex with DJ Fatboy Slim and their children Woody and Nellie. Famed as a ‘ladette’ in the 1990s, when she presented the Radio One Breakfast Show, rumours she’ll be co-presenting the new look Top Gear were recently dismissed by host Chris Evans. But wouldn’t she be great?

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22)Dreams show you the way forward. Somehow everything has a solution

and a purpose when you mind is so clear. Take that word ‘purpose’ this week and make sure you are on track. What are you aiming for? Are you going the right way about it? When meeting someone new at the weekend you will fi nd that your instincts are very sharp. Be guided by them and not so much by what people have told you.

My doctor tells me that I have gallstones and

that I will need to have my gall bladder removed. What are gallstones and what does the

operation entail? JS, Truro Kenneth Hosie, medical director at Ply-mouth-based Penisula Medical says: Gall bladder removal is one of the most frequent operations performed by the NHS and is now available for NHS patients at the Peninsula NHS Treatment Centre. The gall bladder is small, pear-shaped pouch located in your upper abdomen which stores bile. Bile is produced by your liver and is used to break down fatty foods.

Bile is made up of cholesterol, bile salts and waste products. When these ‘ingredients’ get out of balance, gallstones can be formed. In most in-stances you will not notice gallstones as they do not create any symptoms. However, sometimes they can become trapped, producing irritation and inflammation in the gall bladder or move out

Q of the gall bladder to other parts of the body.This can provoke a range of symptoms includ-

ing severe tummy ache, feeling and being sick, and jaundice.

For most people experiencing pain, it is recommended that the gall bladder is removed.

At the Peninsula NHS Treat-ment Centre we do this using a technique called laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

This is the most common op-eration for the removal of the gall bladder and involves using a tiny camera and surgical instru-ments that are inserted through small incisions in your abdo-men. The procedure is carried out under general anaesthetic.

You will be able to go home on the same day as your operation. It does not take long to recover from a laparoscopic cholecystec-tomy. You can return to normal activities after

38

Galling stones

In most instances, you will not notice

them, as they do not create any

symptoms [[A simple procedure effects speedy relief

two weeks and it should be safe to do strenuous exercise after a month to six weeks.

If you’d like to have your gall bladder removed at the Peninsula NHS Treatment Centre, please discuss your choice with your GP who will be

able to refer you for treatment. You will be booked for an out-

here are various spices we associate with this time of year. Star anise, clove and allspice are all among the seasonal scent and aromas that we know, love and

associate with Christmas, but cinnamon has to be the king of the festive spice rack.

When it comes to cinnamon and its fragrant cousin cassia, we tend to reserve their use for sweet stuff. Who doesn’t bung a few twigs in the mulled cider at this time of year? Yet cinnamon is a vibrant and warming fl avour that deserves a more varied usage.

The spice is the soft under-bark of the cinnamomum verum tree, shaved and dried into sticks, or quills. You can pop one or two in a stew to favour and remove before serving, or I’d recommend grinding it yourself to keep your supply fresher for longer.

Cinnamon is among the most diffi cult spices to grind at home however, so you need a good electric spice grinder to get a fi ne result. If you don’t have one, and you need fi nely ground

cinnamon for a recipe, then recently-bought ready-ground is the best option.

You don’t need to be an expert on Indian or Middle Eastern cookery to get into the cinnamon thing. Try bunging a few inches of cinnamon stick into the next lamb stew you make and see where it takes you. The same can be applied to curries and stews of almost all sorts. The interesting thing about cinnamon is its ability to blend in with its surroundings and make its presence felt in a variety of different ways, depending on what company it keeps.

Added to a rich meaty stews, particularly game, gives a real earthy and warm feeling of richness – something special at any time of year.

TSpice it upTry sprinkling a little powdered cinnamon onto your honey on toast for a little breakfast time pep.

A quill or two of cinnamon added to rum punch will make a tasty difference.

Add some zing to a herbal infusion. Stir your mint tea with a cinnamon stick and enjoy the added warmth.

Pair it with ginger. This combination goes very well together in all sorts of ways, particularly in a pear sponge.

St Austell Tribute makes it in the top ten of writer Mark Dredge’s

British cask beers in his new book, the Best Beer in the World.

He says it has “all that chewy English malt in the back and

then in come the lightly citrusy, � oral hops that can go into a

lemon pithiness. Lovely pint”.

breaking the rules It’s impossible to describe BrewDog without using the word ‘maverick’, not that they seem to mind – they do it themselves. Co-founder James Watt’s written a book on how to succeed the BrewDog way. Business For Punks tackles managing cash� ow, marketing, developing a sustainable brand and “the pointlessness of a business plan”.

talks beeriven half a chance, I suspect most of us would like to work some-where with the small of malt and hops fi lling the air. Such is the case when I drop into Granite Rock

Brewery and Home Brew Shop on a chilly au-tumnal afternoon, where partners Dave Will-mott and Frances Williams are catching up on work.

I say catching up because al-though the business is open all week, they have separate week-day jobs themselves so spend the weekend touching base in their Penryn premises.

The business is one whose time has come. Just as commer-cial brewing is big in the UK, so is home brewing. In fact, many of the constant stream of new breweries springing up, seem-ingly daily, are one-person op-erations where a home-brew set-up has fl edged and taken fl ight in the competitive world.

At Granite Rock, there is a successful com-bination of both. Dave and Frances are home-brew enthusiasts and have all the equipment and ingredients home brewers need, of what-ever level of experience. Frances keeps an eye on the shop, and is going through the week’s books when I turn up, citing boxed St Peter’s, Woodforde’s and Cooper’s kits as the way most

people get into the hobby.I can remember my father attempting to make

beer using Boots kits in the 1970s (I was in no po-sition then to judge its quality, although I recall the malty smell permeating the domestic atmos-phere). Back then, price was clearly a driver, with home brew pints costing much less than

pub pints, even the infamous Red Barrel. Now, there seems to be more of a leaning to the artisanal element of home brewing, tying in with local produce culture, although pricing is still keen: 40 pints for £22 is typical.

Once people have mastered the boxes – almost a case of simply add water and wait – many are suffi ciently enthused to move on to more elaborate methods of home brewing. Malt and hops are available in small bags so even all-grain brews will not break the bank, and popular hop varieties such as Chinook and El Dorado

can give that American-style citrus zing that a kit of basic British bitter won’t possess.

Home brewing can only deepen one’s appre-ciation of the brewer’s art and the idea that even small changes to a recipe can have big conse-quences when it comes to the fi nished product.

Finally, my guilty secret: I’ve never brewed a thing, ever, at all. Spent too much time drinking other people’s beer. I must fi nd the time.

G

At the risk of mentioning the ‘C’ word too early, Bays Brewery’s Jingle Ale is out now and at 4%

ABV is perfectly sessionable, yet � avoursomely festive.

You’d expect a beer with this sweetness and hop   nish to perhaps be higher ABV, but

ho, ho, ho, that means you can have a couple while writing that

shopping list.

My favourite...

Walk: I am not a big walker, more of a stroller and I can think of nowhere better to stroll, (sometimes with our dog Rosie) than by the River Erme. The river starts on the moors and ends up in the sea at Bigbury. Where the river rushes down from the moors though Ivybridge it is really stupendous. The river looks so powerful and after a heavy rain it is marvellous to see it tumbling down over the boulders. Secret place: My secret place is on Dartmoor at the side of the river. I don’t even know what it is called, it’s so secret!

Shop: There is a small street in Dartmouth full of interesting shops. I always like to walk and look at these shops when I am in the town, and the shops in Totnes are always full of interest, too. The indoor market in Totnes has wonderful food shops with really fresh vegetables, salads and fruit. Then there is a fi shmonger with really good fresh fi sh.

Place to eat: The First & Last Bistro in Ermington is a favourite with a two and three course menu of fresh local produce, and the menu changes regularly according to what is

available. The menu is at a fi xed price with sev-eral choices of each course and it has a real old fashioned country house atmosphere.

Good cause: Now I’m on my hobby horse! I sponsor Plymouth’s All Stars Theatre Group which gives a life and interest to about 25 young adults with learning disabilities. The group is run tirelessly by David and Jan Halifax whose own daughter Emma has learning diffi culties. They put on two shows a year, in midsummer and at Christmas, at the Muse Theatre and they rehearse on Saturday mornings. They love to get on stage to sing and dance and they really are wonderful. Another cause I am currently supporting is the Tamerton Young Leisure Group. They take young children out for a treat at Christmas. Last year it was a party at McDonalds, this year it is a trip to the pantomime at Plymouth’s Theatre Royal.

Event: I can’t think of anything better than relaxing on Blackpool Sands in the South Hams near Dartmouth on a nice sunny summer’s day and just watching people enjoy themselves. The Dartmouth Regatta is also a marvellous event.

Activity: I have been enjoying dancing for many years now with Alison, but we don’t go as often as we used to. We enjoy Ballroom, Latin American and Modern Jive, and we managed to learn the Pasadoble for a medal exam. Argentinian tango is another favourite of ours. Dancing is a very good way to meet interesting people.

Relaxation: Going away in my touring cara-van for a long weekend and the odd week in the summer allows me to escape for a bit from eve-ryday life and also allows me to visit interesting places all over Devon and Cornwall.

Pub: Although I love my work, I do like to relax after a hard day occasionally at the Sportsman’s Inn in Ivybridge for an early evening drink. The beer is the best I have found around. I think Bill the landlord must do a very fi ne job cleaning the beer lines.

o you remember the Great Fire of London? Not personally of course, unless you have suffered a night-time bite to the neck and now sleep daytimes in a coffin. But I

imagine you are aware of the basic facts: that it destroyed the old city, started in Pudding Lane and took place in 1666.

It occurs to me, given the insane property market, that a modern day repeat of such a conflagration might crash the economy of the whole country. It would certainly be followed by the Great Insurance Claim of London.

The reason for my meandering thoughts on a topic so “random”, as the kids say, is my son and his year one class are cur-rently learning how the old capital went up in smoke. That a class of five-year-olds were en-gaged in scrutinising this catastrophe left me musing on history teaching in school.

I am not criticising the local education au-thority, nor the Department for Education, who may have insisted that the subject features prominently. After all, a county council press release sent out last week showed that Devon is above average for school achievement. In the Key Stage 1 tests, which my lad will take at seven years old, the county results for hitting the Reading targets are 92 per cent compared to 90 per cent nationally, Writing at 90 per cent, compared to 88 per cent and so on. I am yet to experience this much-criticised testing of such young minds – I mention in passing that kids only start school at six or seven in many coun-tries – but now I wonder whether there will be a question in the exam about London’s fire.

Things were probably very different when I was at infant school. I don’t remember much now apart from a blue whale painted in the playground and the Griffin books which I hap-pily devoured (a lion with an eagle’s head?

What’s not to love?). But by the time I was at high school we were plunged into the merry world of dating England’s history. It is thanks to Mr Higgins’ feared weekly tests – 20 questions, all of the answers dates as I recall – that I know that Chancellor Otto Von Bismarck unified the German Empire in 1871. Such pearls of wisdom have served me well in life. Skip back a century and a half and I will gladly place in time those pretenders to the Tudor crown Lambert Simnell

and Purkin Warbeck, the latter of whom incidentally was ex-ecuted in 1499 at no-torious Tyburn, if memory serves.

The rigour of Higgins’ weekly quiz kept us kids in line.

There was a forfeit, which I now forget, but it would have been unpleasant. The bespectacled sadistic was also my volley-ball master and once ‘slip-pered’ me in the gym. Six of the best… on the backside…each one preceded by a run-up. I am not kidding.

These days, James and the class of 2015 are not treated so harshly. That would bring a team of law-yers down to the school. And he seems quite excited about the subject. The inclusion of 666 in the date is a help – noth-ing like a whiff of brimstone to jog the memory. I just wonder what difference the dates make to an under-standing of our cultural history. What about how people lived? Then, as the boy told me all about his lesson in school – a rare thing in itself – he

added a further gem from the dark days of Olde London. “In those days, Daddy, the rich ate meat and the poor only had cheese,’ he de-clared. Now that was more like it. Of course. Some things never change.
