This issue’s contributors were asked: What’s the soundtrack to your weekend?

Fiona Fullerton Ben LoganQuentin LettsJonny WhileyThomasina Miers

Former Bond girl FionaFullerton, picturedwith her adorable dog,Archie, shares her lovefor Cheltenham MusicFestival in this week’sissue.“I listen to Classical FMall the time so I guessthat’s a bit of a giveaway,but I listen to everythingfrom classical music toColdplay really; a bitof a mixture like mostpeople.”

Ben Logan writes CreedFoodservice’s regularWeekend column.He says: “Punk rock orheavy metal. If the sunis shining, a bit of MattMonroe or theThreeTenors to remind me ofItaly.The Clash, RollingStones and Stone Rosesare also a popular choice.“I have a habit ofswitching radio stationsas soon as a Coldplaysong comes on.”

The Daily Mail’s theatrecritic columnist tells usabout his IdealWeekend.He lives near Newent.“I listen to RadioThreeand perhaps ClassicFM and our local BBCstation,” he says.“I tend to listen to Radio4 more in the week.“In the car maybe aclassical CD of somesort.”

Feature writer JonnyreviewsThe SuffolkKitchen this week.“My taste varies from thesublime to the ridiculous.“I’ve got a lot of timefor REM, Johnny Cashand the Beatles, as wellas more acoustic musicfromTom Odell, PauloNutini, Damien Rice andBen Howard. Karaokeis where it gets silly.I’ve been known to singeverythng from Jerry LeeLewis to Adele and KateBush.”

After winningMasterChef 10 yearsago, the Cheltenham-born chef went onto set up a chainof groundbreakingMexican restaurants.She tells us how in thisweek’s Big Interview.“After food, dancing ismy greatest passion,”she said in a recentinterview. And herfavourite track?“He’s the GreatestDancer, by SisterSledge.”

Power to the bright lights of MexicoCity, Miers, when she won the show 10years ago, was at the forefront of thewave to change the way Britain eats.And now, with a chain of successful

Wahaca restaurants, two gorgeouschildren and a host of cookery booksto her name, she talks to Weekendabout her phenomenal success andwhat drives her. Plus she’s includeddelicious summer recipes for you towhip up at home.Elsewhere, the season of weddings is

CATCHING recent instalmentsof MasterChef, ThomasinaMiers finds herself marvellingat how things have changed

since she won the BBC contest in 2005.“It feels like we were in the darkages when we were doing it,” says the38-year-old chef, who founded thepopular Wahaca Mexican street foodchain after being crowned winner.“I remember cooking for the Armyand putting some basil in my ricepudding because I thought it would giveit a nice perfume, and Gregg [Wallace]going, ‘What the hell are you doing?’“Now, you wouldn’t think twice; youget basil ice cream all over the place.”The mother-of-two, who has just

released her latest cookbook, ChilliNotes, admits she has “never cookedany” of the type of dishes nowconjured up in the MasterChef finals.“I find that type of food very maleanyway – very molecular,” she adds.“There are a lot of male chefs in thiscountry now doing ultra-precisionkind of cooking, which is reallyclever and amazing and brilliant.“But I guess, as a female and as amother, I’m more interested in thisidea of food as being for everyonefeeding people, providing nutrition,that everyday purpose of food.”Everyday needn’t equal boring,

however, which is why Thomasinahas infused Wahaca’s menu andthe recipes in her new book witha delicious kick of chilli.Thomasina was born in Cheltenham

– her parents Niki and Probyn live inGuiting Power – but she fell in love withMexican cuisine two decades ago, aftertravelling to the country on her gap year.“I ate Tex Mex food in England beforethat, but I was really amazed by thisincredible variety of food and the factthat a whole nation of people loved foodand the quality of it,” she enthuses.“And I didn’t know it was so bio-diverse – you go to food marketsand you really do see the mostextraordinary range of fruits andvegetables, wild greens, edible flowers,you name it. It was a huge discovery.”She went back when she was 28 and

stayed with friends in Mexico City.“The family was very cool andarty,” she’s reported as saying.“The mother was an amazingmatriarchal figure who was very good atthrowing parties where there was alwaysa table groaning with sensational food.“I realised I didn’t recognise any of it

and wanted to find out more. I spent thenext three months travelling and eatingeverything I could get my hands on.”After studying Modern Languages

at Edinburgh University – she wentto school at St Paul’s Girls’ School inLondon – she ended up working inmarketing, advertising and modelling.It was during a catwalk show,

modelling a Barbour bikini, thatThomasina met the late Two Fat Ladiesstar Clarissa Dixon Wright, who spottedthe then 26-year-old was unhappy withher lot and asked her what inspired her.“Cookery,”Thomasina told her.And so she helped the young

food lover land a place at theprestigious Ballymaloe CookerySchool in County Cork, Ireland.After the course finished, Thomasina

travelled to Mexico to indulgeher passion once more and, onreturning to the UK, broke,entered MasterChef.“It was a fluke,” sherevealed to onejournalist recently,when he askedher how she goton the show.“I’d justgot backfromlivingin

Mexico and was heavily in debt. Ihad no idea what to do next.”She was leafing through some food

magazines and spotted the advert forMasterChef applicants. So she applied.In a recent interview, she reveals she

was running along a station platformto get to the audition and droppedthe dish she’d prepared for it.“I had to scoop it up from theground,” she’s reported as saying.“I didn’t mention what had happened.”After MasterChef, she worked

with Skye Gyngell at PetershamNurseries but by 2007 had foundher feet, and founded Wahaca.These days, when she isn’t

working at herrestaurant

“I remember cooking forthe Army and puttingsome basil in my ricepudding because I thoughtit would give it a niceperfume, and Gregg[Wallace] going, ‘Whatthe hell are you doing?’

chain, writing books or appearing on TV,Thomasina happily spends time with herhusband Mark Williams, an investmentbanker whom she met at a wedding eightyears ago, and two young daughters.She has a three-year-old, Tatiana

and a 16-month-old, Ottilie.“They’ve eaten bits and pieces ofchillies, always,” she says, adding thather eldest recently started helpingher in the kitchen on occasion.Thomasina also enjoys eating out to

keep on top of new food trends – althoughthe slim star confesses she’ll “alwaysorder chips if they’re on the menu”.In fact, she says her last meal would

be a T-bone steak and chips – mayofor the chips, mustard for the steak.And when it comes to those

chillies, she recommends “goinglower rather than higher”.

“Definitely, when I go to MexicoI can eat a really hot sauce, but

it’s not like I smother all myfood with them,” she adds.

“I always think thatsubtle chilli spicingis a lot moreinteresting thanblowing yourhead off.”

Friends and family – includngher twin brother – call herTommi.

Her favourite junk food is chipswith mayonnaise.

Her guiltiest food pleasure is aSeventies’-style prawn cocktail.

She loathes with a passion hamand pineapple pizza.

She once ate ants’ eggs inMexico – she claims they burston the tongue like caviar . . .

She can’t cook poached eggs fortoffee – but hubby Mark can.

She couldn’t live without herstick blender, pressure cooker orinduction hob.

For her last meal, she’d eatal fresco and order a fresh,seasonal salad,T-bone steak andcreme brulee.

Before she went on her gapyear to Mexico, she was a VATconsultant – and hated it.

In Mexico, she opened and ran acocktail bar.

Spiced Cauliflower Soup withAvocado Salsa

Fruit Salad with Lime and Chilli Snow

Ingredients(Serves 4)

2tbsp olive oil1 onion, diced2 sticks celery, finely sliced1/2tsp Turkish chilli flakes, plus more togarnish1tsp coriander seeds, crushed2 garlic cloves, chopped1 medium floury potato, peeled and diced1 large head of cauliflower, broken upinto large florets1 litre vegetable stock or waterSalt and pepper

For the salsa:1 large, ripe Hass avocado, peeled,de-stoned and diced25g hazelnuts, toasted and roughlychoppedJuice of 1 lime2 spring onions, finely diced2tbsp olive oil

1 small bunchcoriander, roughlychoppedSalt and pepper

Method

Heat a large saucepan orcasserole dish, pour in the oliveoil, then add the onion, celery,chilli and coriander seeds.Season to taste then cook,stirring occasionally, for about10 minutes until the onion hasturned silky soft and translucent.Add the garlic and potato andcook for a further few minutes,stirring to coat the potato in oilbefore finally adding the cauliflower andenough stock or water to cover.Simmer the broth until the cauliflower

is completely tender. Whizz up witha stick blender and taste to check the

seasoning, adding more salt and pepper ifyou think it needs it.Stir all the salsa ingredients together

and season to taste. Serve the soup withdollops of the fresh, zingy salsa on topand a scattering of chilli flakes.

Ingredients(Serves 4)

2 mangoes, peeled and sliced300g raspberries, sliced in half150ml apple juice

For the nieve (‘snow’):90g caster sugar1 fresh red chilli, halved lengthwaysZest of 1 lime100ml apple juice150ml lime juice (about 5-6 limes)2tbsp 100% agave tequila (preferably anunaged blanco)

Method

To make the granita, put the sugar, chilliand 200ml of water into a saucepanand place over a medium heat. Simmer,stirring, until the sugar has dissolvedcompletely, then remove the pan from the

heat. Stir in the lime zest and set aside.Once the syrup has completely cooled

down, pour in the apple juice followedby the lime juice and tequila and stirto combine. The mixture will be quitestrong-tasting at this point, but oncefrozen, it will lose much of its punch.Pour the liquid through a sieve into a

shallow dish and place in the freezer. Afterthree hours, use a fork to break up anyice that has formed, particularly aroundthe edges of the dish. Return the granitato the freezer, repeating the raking processevery few hours or so until the whole dishconsists of crunchy, flaky ice crystals. It isimportant to use a shallow dish, or thisprocess will take a lot longer.Mix the mangoes and raspberries

together (you can do this a few hoursbefore you are ready to eat, but notmuch longer, or the raspberries will startlooking soggy). When you are ready toeat, dress with the apple juice and servein bowls with the lime and chilli snowscattered on top.

Short story



DRESSING for a weddingstresses British womenlike no other sartorialoccasion.

It may be the photographic evidencewaiting to reveal a bad outfit choice forever more or the competitive nature ofother women, but weddings can be themother of all style challenges.With all the angst and budget we

invest in these wedding outfits, weshould have the most fabulous thingshanging in our wardrobes ready for thenext time. Truth is, these outfits arerarely worn again.

Approach occasion dressingdifferently and you will have pieces thatwill easily mix and match with yourexisting wardrobe and can be worn timeand time again.Look for simple dresses that flatter

your silhouette, colouring and suit yourpersonality, rather than finding a dressthat shouts ‘wedding’. Separates canbe more tricky to make work for theevening do later on. Make it ‘weddingappropriate’ with accessories that arelight, elegant and upscale. Here, I haveput together two fantastic options thatcan be worn again and again.■ Visit www.kateparkerstyle.com

Look 1This look has a slightly vintage feel.The coat is by Zara, £89.99 reduced to£49.99, and is a delicious apricot tone.It has a Chanel vibe to it and wouldlook great worn with skinny jeans,capris, or ballet pumps after the event.

Metallics are perfect for a weddingand this silver pair by French Connec-tion, now £79 reduced from £99, aregorgeous.

TheTed Baker dress in powder blue isreally cute with a lovely chiffon sleeve,reduced from £149 to £104. Finish offwith this clutch from French Connec-tion, £80. The pastel-coloured studsmean it will tone in with many colour-ways. It could even dress up some-thing as simple as jeans and a tee.

Look 2This stylish dress by Reiss, reduced from£179 to £119, is a lovely pistachio colour. Youcould wear it in the office with navy courts, orfor a wedding, team with these sophisticatedtwo-tone stilettos again from Reiss,£139.

I have added a statement necklace fromOasis, £28, which picks up on the pale greenand adds a punch of hot pink and purple.

This DVF clutch, £140, adds another pop ofpink and is from Sue Parkinson in Broadway,or Cirencester, £140.

The ivory Zara jacket, reduced from £79 to£59, isn’t too stiff and starchy with its doublezip detail at the waist and will be anothergreat wardrobe staple.

A CONTEMPORARY danceproject inspired by the birdsof Slimbridge Wildfowl andWetlands Trust is in full flight.

Cotswold choreographer Alex Howard isleading rehearsals to study the movementand behaviour of creatures at the wildlifesanctuary.Called Without Measure, the project willculminate in a performance for the publicthis autumn at the centre.Some people have already seen examplesof the movements when dancers visitedSlimbridge in the spring to take part inrehearsals.Alex selected dancers to represent the birdsand will now work with them for severalmonths until the public performance andexhibition of research.“I had been doing some work outdoors,including dancing in the botanic gardens inBristol,” said Alex, who lives near Stroud.“This was an idea that I had on mydrawing board for a while and when Iapproached Slimbridge about it, they wereinterested.“I spent three or four months visiting thecentre several times and observing the birdsfirst-hand, as well as talking to the staff tolearn more about the birds there and theirbehaviour.”The dances will cover many themesincluding the habits of the birds, courtship,nesting and migration.“We are not looking to mimic the birdsbut to give our interpretation of theirbehaviour through our dances.”Alex is in her 50s and has been dancingsince she began ballet classes at the age ofthree or four.

Although she is the first dancer in herfamily, her mother sang classical music forpleasure and competed in the CheltenhamCompetitive Festival.Alex’s career began in the 1970s at theLondon School of Contemporary Danceand the Theatre de l’Opera in Paris.She started her first dance company inHong Kong before returning to work inLondon.Her range of work is extensive, with someproductions made for more than 100dancers and others ensemble or solo pieces.As well as her work in this area, she is alsocurrently a visiting lecturer at the LondonContemporary Dance School.“I am at the forefront of modern dance inthis country,” she said.“My daughter, Miranda, has just completeda dance degree and is hoping to make acareer out of dancing and her eight yearold daughter – and my granddaughter – isalso showing signs of becoming a greatdancer,” she added.Alex goes to the studio every day topractice, and that includes rehearsals whenshe has a show coming up.“I spend all day from 10am to 5pm in thestudio,” she said.“I don’t really think about fitness becausebeing a dancer is all about being fit anyway.“I spend hours dancing pretty much everyweek for as long as I can remember.”Alex is also still making regular visits to thecentre at Slimbridge to watch the birds andspeak to staff.“I’m very excited about the dance and amlooking forward to the public performancein October to see what people make of it,”she said.

“The dancers will pick a bird because ofsomething that appeals or relates to themabout it.“They will be wearing costumes for thedances, which will be fairly flamboyant andshow hints of the birds, rather than beingfull-on bird costumes.”The final performance will include musicwith a nod to the traditional with theinclusion of Tchaikovsky’s famous SwanLake.Alex added: “I’m completely inspired bybird movements and the fact that thissanctuary has been made and people wantto go and see the birds there.”WWT spokeswoman Sally Munro said:“We have really enjoyed working with Alex

Howard on the Without Measure projectand can’t wait to see the performances thisautumn.“At WWT Slimbridge we have a longassociation with the arts but this is the firsttime that dance has been a focus here, so itis very exciting.“The dancers have sensitively studied the

birds’ behaviour and movement over manymonths of visits to Slimbridge and theirperformance is bound to appeal to bothfans of dance and wildlife.”

The final performances will be on October24 to 26 and tickets can be booked fromSlimbridge WWT on 01453 891223.

“I don’t really think aboutfitness because beinga dancer is all aboutbeing fit anyway. I spendhours dancing prettymuch every week.

THE Cotswolds are renowned for beingbountiful when it comes to game, sowouldn’t it make perfect sense to bringthe taste of the countryside to us in theform of a modern, urban style restaurantcombined with the flair of a gamekeeper'slodge?Look no further than EatWild in CastleStreet, Cirencester, the brainchild ofGloucestershire-born brothersWilliamand CalumThompson. Founded assuppliers of premium wild meat andgame in 2010 and now brought to you inthe most sustainable way possible in theirrestaurant.With such delights on the menu as wildvenison burger served in a Hobbs HouseBrioche bun, Gloucestershire Old Spotpulled pork roll, Halloumi burger forthe non-carnivores and my favourite,buttermilk fried Cotswold chicken, it’seasy to see why this “dirty food” donewell has been an instant hit.Every dish is made with the finest,wholesome ingredients using localsuppliers right on their doorstepwherever possible and you can expect achanging menu to reflect what’s in seasonthroughout the game calendar.It may be described as “dirty food” but asgame is low in fat and cholesterol yet highin protein it’s certainly far from it whichis good for me as I’ve been through theentire menu. So if, like me, you’re game,then EatWild.

celebrates...



F IFTEEN years have flown by sinceGloucestershire’s first farmers’ market was heldin Stroud.In that time the event has gone from

strength to strength, with some 50 producers now settingout their stalls every week and a further 200 regularlyattending throughout the year. There’s also a waiting listof farmers and manufacturers all keen to get involved.The high regard in which the event is held can be

seen every week in terms of the huge crowds it attractsand the plethora of awards it has brought to the town,including the best certified farmers’ market in the UKin 2007 and 2013 and the Outstanding Contributionto Local Food Development accolade at last year’sTaste of Gloucestershire Food and Farming Awards.“I think the national coverage attracted by the farmers’market has put Stroud on the map,” says KardienGerbrands, known as Gerb, who founded the eventwith Clare Honeyfield in 1999.“When people come here they discover

the other quirky things that make thetown so special and realise it’s notjust the market that makes Stroudwhat it is, but it’s reading aboutthe market that brings them here.“When we started the Made

in Stroud shop in 2000 we usedto have a joke about whether thisyear’s tourist had been in. Nowadayswe have tourists in all week.“Winning the Taste of Gloucestershire

Award was fantastic. Last year I was alsoasked by the Gloucestershire Rural Community Councilto advise community markets who wanted to set up; it’snice to feel that what I’m doing has such an impact.”Locally-produced food and drink has come a long

way since 1999, when a jazz band serenaded customerswho came to buy from the handful of producers whoset up their stalls at the Cornhill Market Square.Back then the supermarkets dominated people’s shopping

habits and many family farms were going out of business.Fast forward 15 years and the picture is very different,

with the same large stores now making a virtue ofthe local food and drink they sell and adopting amarket stall approach for some of their products.At the same time there has been a boom in the

number of farm shops throughout Gloucestershire.It’s a turnaround that Gerb is hugely

proud to have been a part of.“Farmers’ markets have made people think about food;

they’re part of the food environment we live in,” says Gerb,who recently stepped in to stop Gloucester’s from closing.“There is now support for the small farmer

and small producers who sell direct to the public,

who rear their animals and grow food in a waythat brings many environmental benefits.“You only have to look at the recent horse meat

scandal, and BSE before that, when cows were beingfed animal remains, to see why this is somethingabout which we should all be concerned.“Nowadays surveys show that massive percentages

of people say they always try and choose British,whereas in 1999 this wasn’t the case.”While Stroud Farmers’ Market has been a real success

story, running it hasn’t been without its problems;not least since last December when Stroud DistrictCouncil considered putting its contract out to tender.The idea caused a public outcry, with thousands signing

petitions against it; last week a meeting of the council’sstrategy and resources committee agreed to renew Fresh-n-Local’s licence to run the event for a further three years.For Gerb, the relief is immense.

“It’s been an unbelievably stressful time, but thesupport we’ve received from the stallholdersand people who shop at the market hasbeen completely mind-blowing,” he says.

Another matter that’s stuck in Gerb’s crawis the recent pronouncement by the foodcritic Jay Rayner over farmers’ marketsbeing the preserve of the middle classes.“There’s a perception that the

markets are more expensive; that itcosts a lot more to buy a free range

chicken from a farmers’ market ratherthan a chicken from Tesco,” he says.

“The difference in price comes downto production methods,” he adds. “While somethings are a bit dearer, buying vegetables fromthe farmers’ market often works out cheaper.“I would love to show Jay Rayner around this

farmers’ market and let him see how people come herebecause they want to support small producers.”Stroud Farmers’ Market will be celebrating its 15th

anniversary with a special cake made by stallholdersSweethearts Bakery, a pig roast from Hinton MarshFarm and special ‘King of Doughnuts’ from PippinDoughnuts. There will be stilt walking flowers, morrisdancers and music from a variety of buskers.Gerb says it’s hard to put his finger on exactly what

makes Stroud Farmers’ Market so special, but he believesone of the key elements has to be the people of Stroud.“The market has a great atmosphere;

everybody enjoys themselves,” he says.“There’s an energy about Stroud; a lot of creative

people who see life as something to be enjoyed.“I am massively proud of the market: I still get

really overwhelmed at how brilliant the market iswhen I stand and watch it at 11am on a Saturday.”

tumbles from a tree in a light breeze.Served with a portion of creamy, slightlygarlicky dauphinoise potatoes – possiblymy favourite way to eat spuds – and awarm Bramley apple and thyme puree,it was pretty close to perfection. Plus ifyou’re a fan of crackling then the hugepieces of salty pork will be right up yourstreet.A word of warning mind – since they’reso crisp you need to watch your teeth.On the other side of the table – vyingfor attention with the belly pork – mygirlfriend tucked into a generous portionof braised lamb shank (£17.25).A hearty dish, it was lightened with afluffy cous cous accompaniment fleckedwith plenty of coriander and a roasted redpepper and chilli salsa to bring it alive.Alas, I’m head of myself. In all theexcitement – I’m blaming the pork – I’veforgotten to mention the starter. Well itwas good. Very good in fact. Warm confitduck (£5.95) served with thin corianderpancakes, creamy celeriac slaw and apunchy plum and spring onion sauce.Together they formed little parcels ofjoy that could rival any top end Asianrestaurant.Starters – much like the mains – arean eclectic mix with sea salt and blackpepper bruschetta, a light ham hock andbroad bean salad or mini crab cakes witha lemon and lime aioli to choose from.But back to mains where braised lambshank with chill salsa, calves liver withsage mash and an unusual roastedbeetroot and pear risotto were among theofferings.There’s a notable emphasis on sourcinglocally and seasonally throughout themenu – steaks are from Lane’s Butchersin Bath Road, trout fillets are from Biburyand goats’ cheese is from the Cotswolds.As for the restaurant itself? Well it hasa shabby chic vibe; wooden tables, lowlighting, a single flower in little glass vaseson each table and menus on clipboards.

Often I hate that – it can be a little falsein the wrong hands – but here it worksperfectly.Anyway, it’s all about the food whichleads me to dessert where we decided toshare a white chocolate and cardamom(£4.95) creme brulee which was withoutdoubt the best custard pot offering I’veever eaten; thick and creamy with just theright balance of sugar to prevent it frombeing sickly.Served alongside two little crisp, butteryshortbread rounds to scoop out theremaining corners once we’d venturedthrough that glass-like sugar topping, itwas simple but very moreish.Overall? Excellent. Scrap that – let’ssay fabulous. My only gripe was thatalthough the service was friendly it felt alittle too efficient.If you have to tell a table – as in our case– not ‘to feel rushed’ then you have a bitof an issue and an hour for three coursesis not exactly a relaxed dining experience.Nonetheless with the restaurant as smallas it is and its reputation growing – itwas winner of the Best Restaurant at theDiamond Jubilee Taste of GloucestershireFood and Farming Awards – you canunderstand why they might try to packthem in on a Saturday night.All that said – with a bill for the wholelot clocking in at a reasonable £52 – youcan’t go far wrong.I’ll be dreaming of that unctuous porkbelly for months to come.

WHILE every gardener dreams ofthe endless scope of a bare plot,there are advantages to inheritingsome sort of garden.

Established trees and shrubs add a maturity thatcan take years to achieve while weathered pavingis so much softer than newly-laid. The importantthing is to know what to take out and what toleave in place.When Allan and Louise Hirst took over Ampney

Brook House two years ago the changes thatneeded to be made were obvious.While there were numerous shrubs and some

beautiful trees, the four-and-a-half acres had littlein the way of colour apart from roses. Then therewas the terrace, a vast expanse of uneven Cotswoldstone paving.“It looked like a lorry car park,” said Allan.It was the first thing to go, replaced by tiny

pea shingle inset with stepping stone slabs andbigger stretches of paving. The still large space isbroken up into more intimate areas by modernfurniture and sleek pots filled with bright annuals,which provide a contemporary contrast to the oldCotswold stone building.Knowing what to do with the trees was more

difficult and Allan called in a tree consultant foradvice. The result was the removal of 70 trees,including several from a group of pines, planted bya previous owner as a crop and never harvested.While the need to thin them was obvious, takingdown a large beech was less so but the resultingsense of openness and views towards other morebeautiful trees has been a vast improvement.Much of the transformation of the garden is

thanks to Allan’s collaboration with his long-timegardener Linda Bensley.Together they have introduced much-needed

colour over the existing framework, addingherbaceous borders and breaking up several rosebeds to give more variety; one has the beginnings

1. As we are nearing the end of the summerbedding season we now have special BuyOne Get One Free offers on our 9cm basket/patio plants £1.69 each. Also included in ourBuy One Get One Free offers are our 10.5cmgeraniums (£2.25 each), 6 and 10 pack beddingplants (£3.49 each) and 6 pack geranium (£3.99each).2. From July we will be stocking our range ofmid-summer to autumn flowering herbaceousplants. These are ideal for attracting insectssuch as bees, butterflies and moths and theyalso provide them with the essential nectarfor energy that they require for hibernation.Our range will include asters, helianthus,heleniums, rudbeckias and echinaceas andlast but not least sedums with their highlyattractive clusters of star-shaped pink or whiteflowers.3. Summer is also the time of year whengrasses come in to their own. They will addheight to the back of your border and also givemovement in the garden with a breeze andin the winter they look stunning in morningfrosts. Of specialnote is Miscanthuswhich can haveeither stripy greenand yellow foliage(Zebrinus) or blue/grey tinted foliage(Morning Light).Most grasses prefer poor and shallow growingconditions and are therefore ideal for thosevery sunny and dry borders.4. Not to be outdone by the tall late floweringherbaceous perennials, clematis will alsoprovide a range of flower shapes and colourswith the viticella (mid to late summerflowering), texensis and tangutica (summerthrough to autumn) and cirrhosa (late auturmninto winter flowering) varieties. Some ofparticular interest are vit. ‘Etoile Violette’ (deeppurple), ‘John Howells’ (reddish pink) and‘Betty Corning’ (pale blue).5.There is still time to grow your own chillies,some can even be grown in hanging baskets.If you want to store them for using later in theyear thread them on string and allow them todry or chop them up and put in ice cubes toadd to your cooking.

Who says conifers are boring?These cloud pruned cupressusare a fun way to add a modern,architectural element to anygarden. Easy to grow and frosthardy, they will also give all-important winter interest.

Pretty patio area surrounded by lush planting

of a knot bed, designed to echo a motif over a nearbydoor, another has been turned into a ‘prairie bed’ toremind Allan of his American roots.The area that has seen the biggest transformation is

what used to be straightforward lawn at the back of thehouse. That is now home to an impressive greenhouse,used to grow all the bedding for the garden, and apretty yet productive kitchen garden.Box is gradually giving a formal edging to the beds

and a seat, made from garden tools, offers a welcomeplace to sit.The herbaceous borders that now frame the main

lawn have contrasting colour palettes of hot and cool.At one end there are delphiniums, cosmos, zinnias andlupins threaded through with Verbena bonariensiswhile at the other geums, dahlias and phlomis sizzle inyellow, red and orange.“There are some soft colours in here as well,” says

Linda, “because I wanted the two to blend.”The shrub borders have had flowers, includingfeverfew, campanula and astrantia, added to theexisting mix of viburnum, cornus, peonies andphiladelphus to extend the season and introducemore colour.In the orchard hundreds of tulips, alliums,snowdrops, aconites and primroses havebeen planted.There is also a touch of fun: woodenpigs, carved from some of the felled trees,and a signpost, made from another treethat came down, helpfully pointing out thedirection of the pub.With plans to revamp as yet untouched

areas it’s clear that this young garden stillhas more to offer. But the combination of amature framework and fresh ideas mean it is

already delivering.■ Ampney Brook House, Ampney Crucis, near

FREEHOLD SHOP INVESTMENT

A POST-war Jaguar, which hastravelled around the world, is oneof the star cars in the Charterhouseauction of classic and vintage cars atSherborne Castle on July 20.

“The car was bought in 1949 andimmediately shipped over to Australia,where it stayed formany years,” said thesaleroom’s associatedirector MatthewWhitney.

W ITH the Banksy muralin Cheltenham makingthe headlines, graffitiart is big news.

Now there is an opportunity forbuyers to get their hands on an originalpiece of graffiti art at Chorley’s sale onJuly 23-24.

A series of eight panels whichoriginally formed part of the décor atIl Bordello Arts Bar, a converted bargemoored in a Bristol canalway, werepainted by Nick Walker, one of theworld’s best known street artists.

The panels are now expected to fetch£20,000-£30,000 when they come upfor auction.

The brief for the Il Bordellocommission was that his artwork,called Shanghai Lils and JeanPaul Gaultier Sailor Boys, shouldcomplement the opium den theme ofthe bar.

Within that remit he was given freerein and the resulting panels helped tocreate the louche atmosphere specifiedby the owners.

Walker is credited with pioneeringthe use of stencils in the early 1980sBristol graffiti art scene, which pavedthe way for the likes of Banksy.

Although Bristol born and bred, hehas an international profile, havingworked for Stanley Kubrick to recreatethe graffiti-covered streets of New Yorkfor the 1999 film Eyes Wide Shut.

In 2008, Walker had sell-out showsin Los Angeles and London and hisspray works have sold for more than£50,000 at auction.

In 2011 he was a main participant inthe See No Evil event, where he painteda bowler-hatted gentleman on the sideof a tower block in Nelson Street,Bristol, the city in which he still lives.

Chorley’s auction also includes someeye-catching works by 20th centuryBritish artists including a vast studiocollection from Gerald Ososki (1903-1981).

Ososki found he had a skill forportrait painting, of which his mostnotable subject was Lord GeraldWellesley, later the Duke of Wellington.

A bid of £3,000-£5,000 will buy this portraitof Edward Rogers of Dowdeswell



BLUE skies may not be a permanent fixture as westruggle to see a settled summer, but the colour blue iskey for this year’s interior landscape.

Deep, punchy blues – think indigoand navy or Pantone’s peppy shade of cobalt,Dazzling Blue – can add depth and richnessto a scheme, and the hues are so versatilethey work in any setting, contemporary ortraditional.

“Dubbed as the latest alternative to neutrals,blues have really made an impact this year inhomes, and the long-term forecast is that theirpopularity will last well into next year,” saysKate Tansley, creative director at furniturespecialists, Multiyork, which has a showroomin Portland Street, Cheltenham.

“Wonderfully versatile, there are so manybeautiful shades of blue. And what’s brilliant isthat they can be mixed and matched, so don’tbe afraid to introduce a variety of blue huesinto the same space.

“A warm shade, such as navy, azure or cobalt, is the perfectchoice for sociable spaces, such as the living or dining room,

as it creates a cosy, inviting feel, while retaining a hint ofelegance.”

Navy is also stylish, she believes, and is a particularfavourite as its flattering undertones make itan ideal shade to team with almost any othercolour, even those which sit adjacent to it onthe colour wheel, like yellow and orange.

Taking the plunge needn’t be scary, even asmall amount of ‘moody blue’ can make animpact in a room, whether it’s in beautifulaccessories, such as a collection of blueglassware, or for the bold, a feature wall.

If the latter’s your choice, ensure there’splenty of natural light and balance it withneutrals. White’s a classic contrast but may bea little harsh in a north-facing room; sludgywhites or even pale greys are a warmer choice,teamed with blond wood floors and strippedback furniture.

INVISIBLETony Banks, from Genesis, might not be the obviouschoice for a classical music festival. JonathanWhileyfinds out why actually, he is

touchTHEY’RE not a natural fit – rock and roll

and classical music. One is known forits gritty, party lifestyle where its Kingwould snaffle peanut butter sandwiches.

The other is more likely to involve a picnic withcucumber sandwiches and a wicker hamper. It’scurious then to see the path that Genesis keyboardplayer Tony Banks – a member of a band in the Rockand Roll Hall of Fame no less – has taken in hiscareer.His music in the 1983 film, The Wicked Lady,

directed by Michael Winner, was the first hintof a foray into classical music and at this year’sCheltenham Music Festival he’ll be debuting a neworchestral piece he has composed.“I’ve always loved classical music, it’s something

I’ve listened to a lot,” Tony says. “About 20 yearsago, or maybe even 30 now, I made a film withMichael Winner and I wrote the film score.“In a way you have less control – it’s in the hands

of other people but you have to trust them.”Tony admits that it’ll be surreal – sitting in the

audience while his new symphonic work is broughtto life by the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra.“A few years back it was good; the reviews from

gramophone magazine were good but I think Radio3 have always been a bit suspicious,” he says.“Classical FM, as you might expect have been great.”Is there a snobbery in the classical world then?“Oh God, yes,” he says. “There is a lot of pre-

judgment and some people can belittle it but you getover that.”It seems that Tony has been getting over it for years

now – dating back to a time when the critics werenot particularly kind to the music of Genesis despitetheir commercial success.“At least you get noticed I guess,” the 64-year-

old says, later reflecting that “it does have it’sadvantages” for publicising his later projects.“I think in the late 70s there was the punk

movement and a lot of NME writers were bowingdown to them and we became public enemy,” he says.“The response we get in Germany is absolutely

fantastic and also the States but we’ve never been thesame big group in England.“From our early days we were just thought of as a

public school band.”So much so that Tony admits they were unsure how

ticket sales would go for their reunion tour in 2007.“We were frightened, in truth, but they sold out in

a couple of minutes and we could have sold more,”he says.Genesis formed in 1967 when Tony and Peter

Gabriel were students at Charterhouse School inSurrey – one of the leading independent schools.The original line-up consisted of Peter, Tony, MikeRutherford, Chris Stewart and Anthony Phillips –although the latter left three years later.“I was shy and aloof,” Tony reflects. “We were

shut away, there were no females and you form someweird views. It seemed like if you played sport youwould do well.“Radio and record players were banned; they

relaxed the rules eventually but it was strict in thefirst couple of years.

And now to the million dollar question – willGenesis be getting back together? Speculation hasbeen rife since members came together to make aBBC documentary.“When we did the documentary it was great to see

everyone again,” Tony says. “We all get on – we’venever fallen out with each other.“The documentary will be more about our solo

stuff as well as what we’ve done as a group. We’vesold a quarter of a billion records. We’ve beensuccessful in different areas and it will be a chanceto show what we’ve done individually, including myclassical work.”

Tony Banks’ work will be played as part of theClassical Favourites event tonight at CheltenhamTown Hall at 7pm. For tickets, call 08448 808094.

we’ve seen a huge upsurgein a requirement for goodquality hotel rooms andrestaurants and as a result,Cheltenham has changedquite radically and is nowa very cosmopolitan townwith world class food andaccommodation and thisis all, I believe, primarily,because of the festivals andthe sort of global attentionthat they attract and thekind of visitors we have.”So what of the educationalside of things – of whichthere has been increasingemphasis this year withthe likes of singer LauraMvula and illustrator JamesMayhew both appearingat schools in Cheltenhamahead of their festival gigs.“There is a programmeafoot to promote theeducational side of thefestivals and that is one ofthe reasons they wanted meto get involved,” Fiona says.“To raise awareness of itand let people know thatthere are many, manyevents that students canget involved in and we takecertain programmes tothem in certain areas.“By bringing music andscience to the variousschools, we’re hoping toset students on a careerpath that they might nototherwise have thought of.“Nicola Benedetti is goingto be doing workshops forstudents who are interestedin music, they can come andplay with her or be part ofan orchestra.”As for her own musicaltaste, Fiona admits that itcan vary greatly.“The concert I’m compèring– it’s all the popular classicswhich people know and

When you think of peopleupping sticks and livingthe good life, you perhapsdon’t dwell on thingslike the unreliable watersupplies or lengthy legalwrangles carried out in asecond language.But happily, ChrisStewart, the author of thebestselling Driving OverLemons is back with LastDays OfThe Bus Club,another humorous guideto the realities of living inthe mountains of SouthernSpain. As ever, Stewartoffers a funny, touchingand realistic take on livingthe dream. Last Days OfThe Bus Club is a lively,pragmatic account of thegood life.

TheWays OfThe Deadthrows the reader straightin the deep end, witnessingthe tragic murder of ateenage girl whose fatheris a powerful judge inWashington D.C. But wasit a random killer or is itsomething to do with herfather’s profession?That’s the question thatnewspaper reporter SullyCarter is desperatelytrying to find out, butthe deeper he digs,the more complicatedthings become.Thismight not revolutionisethe crime novel genre,but it’s a page-turning,gripping debut novel fromWashington Post writerNeelyTucker.

The fifth novel fromMichelle Lovric – writerof theThe Remedy – islined with a penetratingmelancholic beauty.Highly stylised, the novelis set in the age of thePre-Raphaelite 1800s andfollows the fortunes ofseven long-haired sistersfrom Harristown in CoKildare to Dublin, and onto the palazzi of Venice.Fame is a major theme ofthe novel, as is the objectof the girls’ fame – theirhair.Inspired by the real-lifeSutherland Sisters, whomade millions from theirhair in the US in the 19thcentury, the novel isengaging and affecting.

THERE aremany thingsthat confuseme in life.

Like how does onepronounce JK Rowling’ssurname? Is it ‘Rolling’or ‘Row-ling’? And EllieGoulding’s for that matter.‘Goooouuulding’ or ‘Gold(like the fish) ing’?And far more importantly,why do so many womennot keep up to date withtheir smear tests and menwith their prostate checks?I for one would possiblynot still be here if I hadn’tbeen so fastidious withmine and the NHS staffbeen so on the ball and

efficient with detecting and treating things. So here’s the thing:it’s not pleasant. It’s awkward and sometimes decidedly painful.And if it comes back with unfavourable results you then haveto have a colposcopy. However, they are likely to save your life.Jade Goody’s life’s mission became to educate young womento get regular smear tests so that they don’t have to go throughthe decline that she did. How heart-breaking to have to leaveher children, when it could have been averted in the very earlystages.Last week I had some treatment at Cheltenham General. Itwasn’t nice at all, it hurt and it was cringy. But my colleaguefriend came with me and we talked work in the waiting roomto distract me, and the consultant was lovely and humorous andexplained everything in layman’s terms.The ladies in the treatment room were a small gathering ofangels and best of all I had taken two valium. So it was over inabout 30 minutes or less, and then, dosed up with Nurofen, Iknew that the deed was done and I could relax. Nasty but safe.I didn’t want to get that personal in this lovely relaxingWeekend magazine but I have to in order to make my point.If one person books in for a smear test because they read this,then it’s worth the awkward and intrusive subject matter.Don’t leave your fate to the unknown when there’s somethingyou can do about it. It’s all over really quickly and you will berelieved you did it. My tip is two Nurofen (or similar) beforeyou go in and take a friend or family member for moral supportin the waiting room.Another tip is to give up smoking. It massively increases the riskof cervical cancer. Get those pretend ciggies instead.According to Cancer Research UK, 3,064 women in the UK

were diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2011.‘If you are between the ages of 25 and 64, the NHS cervicalscreening programme will contact you every three to five yearsand ask you to go for a cervical screening test,’ the charity says.Today’s column is an insistent plea to you, if you are female andof the above age group, to book that appointment now.And if you’re reading on a Saturday or Sunday and yoursurgery is not open, then get a pen right now and write it inyour diary for Monday. Please, please do it. Let’s stick aroundas long as we can.Here endeth today’s sermon.
