SOUTH HAMS’ LEADING E STAT E AG E N T
Welcome… TO OUR VERY LATEST ISSUE OF SIMPLY SOUTH HAMS Marchand Petit Best in Show! In order to achieve the best possible prices for our clients within an agreed timeframe, we at Marchand Petit aim to reach as broad an audience as possible both promoting your properties to sell locally and making potential buyers aware of the undoubted attractions of the South Hams, further afield. As part of this approach, we attend several local ‘Shows’ the most recent of which were the well-attended and respected Yealmpton and Kingsbridge shows at which, in collaboration with local businesses, we are proud to announce that we won the trophies for ‘Best in Field’ and ‘ Non-Agricultural ‘ respectively, for our Marquees and stands. Our Modbury, Newton Ferrers, Kingsbridge Offices and Marketing Department, joined forces with Burgh Island Hotel, Relish, South Hams Landscaping & Fencing, Buckland Tout Saints Hotel and BRIG to provide welcome food and shelter (not to mention a glass of Prosecco!) throughout the day. Attending agricultural shows and supporting local events gives us a great opportunity to interact with the community and meet buyers and sellers alike in a more relaxed and informal atmosphere, conducive to discussing property market conditions and trends as a welcome relief from discussing Brexit! Our next opportunity to have our property list discussed and for potential buyers to meet our team will be at The Southampton Boat Show between the 13th and 22nd September, partners with BRIG – the rigid intelligent boat manufacturer and distributor. Several of our team will be on hand to discuss the South Hams property scene. ‘Why Southampton?’ you may ask – because the international visitors to this world-renowned show come from similar yachting communities and it gives us the opportunity to talk to potential buyers looking to move to a coastal location from London and the South East. Again, we are willing to go the extra mile on behalf of our clients. So, give your local Marchand Petit office a call to discuss exposing your property to any opportunities this will have created. In the meantime, as I write, Parliament may be suspended until mid-October but we are still busy - I am delighted to announce that correctly priced properties are selling well despite the dreaded ‘B’ word! If you are looking to move on in life and considering selling or letting your property, give your local Marchand Petit Office a call and we can advise you on the best approach to suit your circumstances.

The New Discovery Sport: Enhanced For Every Family Adventure
Land Rover is about freedom, whether it is everyday adventures on the school run or taking you and your family beyond the road’s end, filling your lives with new experiences and discoveries in the great outdoors. The new Discovery Sport, the compact premium SUV, has been transformed to make it more efficient, technologically-advanced and practical, keeping its occupants safe and comfortable in any conditions.
068 • FEATURE
E
mbracing the adventurous spirit that has defined the Discovery family for the past 30 years, the new Discovery Sport is a striking evolution of the original that does not compromise capability. Demonstrating versatility in a finer form, the spacious, more comfortable and quiet 5+2 interior has been transformed with a completely new infotainment interface and latest connectivity, plus a more flexible seating arrangement with up to 24 combinations. Under the skin, new electrified engines include a 48-volt mild hybrid from launch to help reduce emissions and fuel consumption.
Gerry McGovern, Land Rover Chief Design Officer, said: “Building on the success of the original Discovery Sport, this beautifully proportioned vehicle has been refined, enhancing its characterful exterior which compliments the engaging nature of the interior space.” Trademark Discovery design cues, including the clamshell bonnet, rising beltline and tapered roof remain, but the new model is a bold exterior evolution. The proportions have been optimised to project a more striking visual with new signature LED headlamps at the front and rear, alongside an updated front grille and bumpers. Inside, the standardisation of the digital Touch Pro infotainment system and the introduction of more premium materials throughout transforms the cabin to create a practical, high quality space. New seats across each of the three rows provide improved comfort and versatility, thanks to the second row 40:20:40 split fold and slide functionality, boosting the possible number of seats. The new Discovery Sport is available in Discovery Sport, S, SE and HSE trim, in addition to the R-Dynamic variants that mark themselves out with unique bumpers, Shadow Atlas script on the bonnet and tailgate, and use of body colour on the side sills and wheel arches. Inside, branded treadplates further differentiate it from the core model. Discovery Sport’s unique versatility has been further enhanced, with improved small item stowage across all rows and a 20 per cent increase in fuel tank capacity (up to 67-litres). With the option of Land Rover’s Activity Key, the compact SUV is more usable than ever and designed to take your family further.
Built on Land Rover’s latest Premium Transverse Architecture (PTA), the Discovery Sport provides greater versatility and refinement with a new body that is 13 per cent stiffer than its predecessor and, together with rigidly-mounted subframes that reduce noise and vibration intrusion into the cabin, ensures maximum safety in the event of a collision.
Designed to meet the digital demands of a modern family, the latest Discovery Sport is available with a ‘smart rear view mirror’ that transforms into a video screen at the flick of a switch to display what is behind the vehicle in crisp high definition. Offering a wider (50-degree) field of vision and superior visibility in low light conditions from a camera mounted above the rear window, the mirror ensures rear visibility is not compromised by second and third row passengers or bulky items in the boot.
FEATURE • 069
Ground View technology has been introduced to help drivers navigate high city centre kerbs or tackle rough terrain by projecting camera imagery that offers a virtual 180-degree view beneath the vehicle onto the touchscreen. Effectively making the bonnet invisible, this is the realisation of Land Rover’s Transparent Bonnet technology, first previewed in 2014. The digital transformation does not stop there. Wireless charging for compatible mobile devices is offered for the first time within the lower centre console, while a 4G WiFi hotspot, and available USB and 12-volt connectivity points on every row, ensure passengers remain charged and connected. Second and third row occupants can also benefit from individual ventilation controls to make the space more comfortable.
For regular drivers of the new Discovery Sport, Smart Settings uses artificial intelligence algorithms to learn driver preferences, adjusting massage and seat positions, music and climate settings and steering column positioning to suit each driver.
The latest Discovery Sport is every inch a Land Rover, combining assured all-terrain handling with all-weather capability, including a wading depth of 600mm, All-Wheel Drive and a second-generation Active Driveline system (engine output dependent). Terrain Response 2 automatically detects the surface and adjusts the torque delivery to best suit the conditions, while Advanced Tow Assist makes reversing with a trailer (up to 2,500kg) more intuitive and safer than ever.

As the world’s one and only The Wine Tipster, Neil uniquely combines his successful career in the wine and bubbly trade with his extensive horse racing knowledge.

Co-founder of South West Wine School, Jonathan Reynolds says: “It is superb to be working with Neil. He is exceptionally busy presenting masterclasses at racecourses, food festivals and shows around the country and it’s marvellous to have tempted him this deep into the South West. It is going to be an evening that all bubbles drinkers in the region should hastily put in their diaries and book in good time as it really is an opportunity not to be missed.” For more information or tickets contact events@southwestwineschool.co.uk or book online at www.southwestwineschool.co.uk (enter online discount code WAFTA to benefit from the early bird price of £ 25).

Mushroom & Asparagus Risotto My quick risotto is full of flavour from all the fresh ingredients. An oven-baked risotto is a good alternative – prepare as here, but add all the stock at once and pop into the oven, preheated to 200˚c/180˚c Fan/Gas 6, to cook for around 20 minutes.
Stir in the mushrooms and asparagus tips 3 minutes before the end, then finish off with the cheese, butter and chives before serving.
SERVES 4 PREP TIME: 15 MINUTES COOK TIME: 30 MINUTES 1 tbsp oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 large garlic clove, crushed 275g (10oz) risotto rice
100ml (3½fl oz) white wine
150g (5oz) asparagus spears, stalks sliced into rounds and tips reserved About 800ml (1 pint 7fl oz) hot chicken or vegetable stock
350g (12oz) mixed button and chestnut mushrooms, sliced 75g (3oz) Parmesan, grated
Method...
1. Heat the oil in a wide-based shallow saucepan (see note). Add the onions and garlic and fry for a few minutes over a high heat. Add the rice and stir in the mixture to coat the grains. Pour in the wine and boil for a few minutes until nearly evaporated. Toss in the sliced asparagus stalks and add the hot stock, a ladleful at a time, stirring over the high heat, until all the stock has been absorbed, and the rice is just tender. Make sure that each spoonful of stock is absorbed before adding the next. From when the first ladle of stock is added, it should take around 20 minutes to cook.
2. Add the mushrooms and the asparagus tips and stir for about 3 minutes until well combined with the rice and just softened.
3. Remove from the heat. Add the Parmesan, chives and butter and season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir and cover with a lid, then leave to stand for 2 minutes before serving.
1 bunch of chives, snipped A large knob of butter
MARY’S NOTES
• Use a wide-based pan so the liquid evaporates quickly.
• Best made and served immediately, though any leftovers can be quickly chilled and made into risotto cakes to fry and enjoy the following day. • Not suitable for freezing.

Apple & Lemon Sandwich Cake
The ultimate cream sponge cake – the apple makes the cake really moist and the lemon-flavoured cream keeps it fresh-tasting. Delicious!
Method...
1. You will need two 20cm (8in) round, loose-bottomed sandwich tins. Preheat the oven to 180˚c/160˚c Fan/Gas 4, then grease each tin and line the base with a disc of baking paper.
2. Measure all the sponge ingredients except the apple and icing sugar into a large bowl and beat with an electric hand whisk until combined. Fold the grated apple into the mixture, then divide between the tins and level the tops.
3. Bake in the oven for about 25–30 minutes until golden, well risen and coming away from the sides of the tins. Allow to cool in the tins.
SERVES 6–8 PREP TIME: 20 MINUTES COOK TIME: 25–30 MINUTES, PLUS COOLING For the sponge
225g (8oz) baking spread, straight from the fridge, plus extra for greasing 225g (8oz) caster sugar
225g (8oz) self-raising flour 1 tsp baking powder
4 large eggs, beaten
2 eating apples, peeled, cored and grated (see note) Icing sugar, for dusting
For the lemon filling
150ml (5fl oz) double cream 3 tbsp lemon curd
4. Meanwhile, make the filling. Whip the cream into soft peaks, then lightly swirl in the lemon curd. Invert the tins to remove the cakes and then peel away the paper. Sit one cake upside down on a serving plate. Spread the lemon cream to the edge of the sponge, place the other cake gently on top to sandwich the cakes together.
5. Dust the top with icing sugar to serve.
MARY’S NOTES
• For a speedy way to grate the apple, first core the apple and cut into pieces but keep the skin on. Grate the flesh and then discard the skin. Extracted from Mary Berry’s Quick Cooking by Mary Berry (BBC Books, £22) Photography by Georgia Glynn Smith
• Once assembled, keep the cake in the fridge for up to 1 day but serve at room temperature. • The cooked sponges freeze well.
