Turn back time Derma-peeling sounds harsh but the results are amazing, says our Beauty Editor

GETTY IMAGES

his might not be the thing for a beauty editor to admit, but I’m a bit of a wuss when it comes to the strong stuff. In the 15 years since it moved from neurotoxic protein to wrinkle paralyser, I’ve never been remotely tempted by Botox, while the idea of fillers (and the potential of a trout pout) leave me running for the hills. If celebrities who can afford the best doctors in the world simply look like they have had work done (we always know when something has been tweaked – it’s never so good you can’t tell) what hope is there for those of us whose budgets only stretch to high-street services? Even skin peels used to make me nervous. The infamous scene from Sex And The City in which Samantha turns up to Carrie’s book launch with a face the colour of a baboon’s backside was enough to persuade me that acid was best left in car batteries. This reticence can probably be traced back to my mid-twenties when, from nowhere, I experienced a three-year breakout of adult acne. Having spent the previous seven years happily slapping on any products that were sent my way, I decided it was time to pare back and have avoided anything too science-y ever since (think retinols and lactic acid). Luckily for me, there are always plenty of people queuing up to test things out for this column on my behalf. 18

Then, over lunch recently, I found myself listening to a lovely lady from Lancôme extolling the virtues of its new Visionnaire Crescendo

Progressive Night Peel (£60; nationwide). Now firmly the wrong side of 35, the idea of brighter, younger-looking skin, diminished wrinkles and improved texture was certainly appealing. Best of all, this peel is done gradually over a period of four weeks with no downtime. Even a refusnik like me could be persuaded to give that a go. Plus, I figured, I could stop at any time if I didn’t like what was happening. The product comes in a doubleended pump dispenser. Phase one for the first 14 nights is low intensity, using natural fruit acids and quinoa husk extract (the superfood can exfoliate too, apparently) in order to eliminate the top layers of dead skin cells and boost renewal. I was ridiculously nervous on the first night, cleansing and then applying three pumps of the runny orange liquid everywhere except near my eyes or on the lips. I didn’t get the tingle or burn I’d anticipated, though my skin felt and looked momentarily reddened. By morning, my complexion was marginally brighter and a little softer, but it wasn’t going to cause any head turns around town.

A week in and I was beginning to wonder if this first fortnight was doing anything at all. Nothing really seemed to have changed. But when you’re seeing something all the time, you don’t notice incremental change. So it was only on day 10, when my mother remarked how well I was looking, that I knew it was working. Phase two, or the “acceleration phase”, is a dark-green liquid that contains 10 per cent acid – 0.5 per cent salicylic acid and 9.5 per cent glycolic acid. These active ingredients are loved by dermatologists and this is the highest dose allowed in at-home treatments. Two days later and my chin was breaking out in a way it hadn’t for a decade, while the whole area felt itchy and irritated. I did what anyone in the same situation would do – I turned to Dr Google. A good bit of searching later, I discovered this was known as the “purging” phase of a peel that some people will experience. Essentially, as your skin turnover is sped up, it brings impurities to the surface much faster than usual – and all at the same time. While some advised stopping immediately, others said to push on through, which was the way I decided to go after chatting

to a dermatologist friend. Basically, I didn’t want to stir everything up without completing the process properly or the problem would remain festering just under my skin. Thankfully, the perseverance paid off and within a week most of the problem had resolved itself – the unpleasant sensation was entirely gone and most of the blemishes had vanished. But in their place was the sort of flaking you would normally only see after seven days without sun protection in the Sahara. While most of my face was fine, my chin looked like desiccated coconut. And I had a wedding to go to. Luckily, it wasn’t anything that couldn’t be (largely) disguised with a generous dollop of moisturiser. The last few nights were pretty uneventful and once the flaking had subsided (48 hours after the final application on day 28), I was mightily impressed with the results. My skin feels so much silkier to the touch and the wrinkles between my brows (the ones that come courtesy of being a glasses wearer) are less obvious. I was amazed to find that the acne pitting I have lived with for a decade had been considerably reduced – something I hadn’t expected at all – while my skin has a new glow about it. Almost a month on and the compliments keep coming. Should I admit I already have another bottle stashed away so I can do it all again in a few months’ time? S MAGAZINE ★ 30 APRIL 2017

Sian Wil iams

Channel 5 news presenter Sian, 52, has two grown-up sons from her ﬁrst marriage and two children with husband Paul Woolwich Words by Paula Kerr

Not a lot of people know this but I’m very good at... ice skating. Well, good-ish. Me and my friend Joanne used to go to the Brighton ice rink on a Saturday afternoon and the muscle memory seems to still kick in – eventually. My best friend is… my husband. He’s supportive and brave, and he always gently pushes me to do things that I’d wimp out of if he wasn’t there. My nickname is… Stan. It’s come from an occasion when someone couldn’t pronounce Sian. The bravest thing I’ve ever done is… write a very personal and raw book, Rise, about a time in my life that hurt, in order to try to help someone else through theirs. My favourite TV show is... Broadchurch. I loved series three. My perfect evening is... kids in bed, glass of wine, something special on the box, under the blanket on the sofa and no work in the morning. I’d like to say sorry to... those I should have called when they were in need, but who I didn’t hear properly. My ﬁrst kiss was... with Simon Lloyd on a patch of wasteland. It was sloppy, I was rubbish and he was gorgeous.

My biggest regret is... not spending enough time with my mum. We had some brilliant, giggly days but not enough of them. She died very suddenly of cancer a few years ago. The one thing I’d change about myself is... to stop worrying about what other people think of me. I’d like to be braver and bolder. The best thing my parents taught me was... kindness. It was such an important lesson. The last time I cried was… quite recently, hearing a song on the radio which suddenly brought back childhood memories of me and Mum, cooking in a sunny kitchen and listening to Jimmy Young on Radio 2. The ﬁrst record I ever bought was… Golden Brown by The Stranglers. It’s not good for my image but I like... weeding. There’s something very therapeutic about gardening. My greatest weaknesses are... red wine and dark chocolate. If I could pass any law I would... give everyone who needed it, free and immediate access to mental health support. I drive... a Skoda. It was recommended by my brilliantly practical dad, who used to build classic cars and who told me they rarely let you down.

JUDE EDGINTON / INSTITUTE

“The best day of my life was when our son Seth was resuscitated”

The shop I can’t walk past is… the department store John Lewis. There’s always something I think I need and the staff are lovely, so I’m drawn in. The most expensive thing I’ve ever splashed out on is… our home. Although the bank still owns most of it. My perfect Sunday is... a run on a spring day with a friend, followed by a good lunch, walking by the sea with the family and a fish and chip supper to round it off. My favourite place in Britain is... St David’s on the Pembrokeshire coast – or Applecross in the Highlands – or Studland Bay in Dorset. One of those three. My last holiday was… during February half-term. It involved driving from Kent to France for a day trip to Disneyland Paris – up at 4am and back at midnight. And we didn’t even see Mickey Mouse, but the children still loved it. I’m currently reading... academic research for my next book about building resilience skills in children. The best day of my life was… when our son Seth, who was born blue and flat, was resuscitated and I came out alive from emergency surgery to hold him. If I had half an hour left on Earth… I’d hug my family close and tell them how much they are loved. Sian is a motivational speaker for Fitter Stronger Retreats. The next one is at Chewton Glen next month. For more information, call 01732 824443 or visit fitterstronger.org.

Strictly business Dancing queen Kristina Rihanoff proves that everyone can get in step Words by Kirsten Jones

f TV’s Strictly Come Dancing has taught us one thing, it’s that anyone can learn to dance. Two left feet or not, if the celebrities can do it, then so can we. When Russian pro Kristina Rihanoff brought her sparkle to the dance floor in 2008, she transformed the likes of Jason Donovan, Simon Webbe and future boyfriend Ben Cohen into stars of salsa, waltz and ballroom. After eight years of glitz and glam on screen, she hung up her dancing shoes – but not for long. At 39, the Russian-born professional ballroom dancer, instructor and choreographer has spent her life in the top tier of the world’s most talented dancers. Like many active careers, retirement came calling as she reached her early thirties and a star-studded spot on America’s Dancing With The Stars winter tour was waiting, followed closely by BBC’s Strictly, which transformed the dancer into the celebrity we know and love. “My experience on Strictly made me think that it’d be really lovely to teach other people, too,” says Kristina. “It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner. Everyone can learn. Strictly made that dream a reality for so many people.” If Kristina can teach John Sergeant the paso doble, let’s face it, we’re all in with a chance. Now she’s set aside celebrity dancing partners to make way for a brand-new service on her website, bespokeballroom.com. Summer is coming and the wedding season awaits. That first dance won’t lead itself, so Kristina is offering to choreograph the moves to the favourite tunes of 22

those planning their wedding. “So many brides-to-be got in touch with me about their first dance, I had to create a whole web page just for weddings,” she exclaims. “It’s their special day and they want to get it right. I feel blessed that they trust me, want me to invest in their dance and make their first dance a memory to treasure.” From her professional dance studio in London, Kristina becomes a personal wedding dance teacher, helping people find their feet in three lessons as she creates a first wedding dance to make their guests’ jaws drop. “I love to work on a gorgeous waltz or foxtrot, and salsa is also a perfect start for beginners.” According to Kristina, we Brits are stepping away from the traditional dance and into modern territory. “Contemporary dance is so popular thanks to Ed Sheeran and his song Thinking Out Loud,” she tells us. “Some brides even go to the effort of changing their dress for the dance. Anything goes.” Kristina’s proudest moment was working with Heat magazine’s Lucie Cave on her showstopping number with her fiancé Ben. “Lucie and Ben wanted a faster dance so we worked on a salsa to Love Is In The Air. A lot of couples are scared of a fast dance – they were so brave.” Despite all this wedding talk, Kristina hasn’t planned her own first dance yet. The star met her dance partner, former rugby player Ben Cohen 38, in the 2013 Strictly series. And found love after stepping off-screen in 2015, soon S MAGAZINE + 30 APRIL 2017

INTERVIEW

INTERVIEW settling into family life. The proposal might not be on the cards for now, but a girl can dream, can’t she? “My perfect wedding would be to just have my loved ones next to me,” she muses. “It doesn’t matter where it is or what we do, but if I had to choose it’d be at a lovely hotel, somewhere small and romantic.” In the meantime, she has plenty of work on her plate, piecing together a UK tour and making moves in the West End world. “If I have a goal in my mind, nothing will stop me achieving it. I had a long-time ambition to have a theatre show, now it feels like it’s all going forwards.” It’s not all work, though. Kristina enjoys hours of playtime with her daughter Milena, otherwise known as Mila. She and Ben welcomed their little one into the world in June and their lives changed forever. “It’s totally changed for the better,” she comments on motherhood. “As a competitive dancer, I was in a self-absorbed bubble. I worshipped dance and there was nothing more important. Now I worship my child. It’s an overwhelming love I can’t put into words.” Kristina spends her life on the go, working all hours in the dance studio, perfecting her nutrition, travelling to performance venues and costume fittings. So the idea of swapping her sparkles for a smiling baby was another challenge she was thrilled to tackle. “I had a baby at 38, not 20, so I have nothing to compare it to. What I can say is it was the right time for me. I have no regrets,” she smiles. “I got my degree and competitive dancing years out of the way. Now I can relax and spend time at home with my family.” Kristina may have found her dancing feet as a youngster, but there’s no pressure for Milena to follow in her footsteps. Kristina tested the water in theatre and music school before finding her passion for dance and she wants to give Milena every choice she can. “I’ve loved dancing since I was a little girl, but if Mila likes something else, that’s fine.” As her baby daughter grows, Kristina is keen to keep dancing and tone up for summer. Like any mum, it took time to get back into shape and it’s no easy task. Just six months after giving birth to Milena, she starred alongside TOWIE’s Megan McKenna and fellow dancer Gleb Savchenko in

the one-day West End stage show One More Dance. “I had to squeeze myself into a tiny little outfit,” she recalls. “I’m never going to be the same shape as I was on Strictly. I was dancing for eight hours a day. That’s not possible now. I wouldn’t want to do it, either. It’s very easy to get down about it, but I’m a mum now. I must accept that I am different.” Between crafting dream first dances and attending regular yoga classes, Kristina helps active mums by posting her own “baby nap” Instagram videos. As soon as your baby hits the pillow, the idea is to start the stopwatch – it’s time for a workout against the clock. “Those 30-minute naps are the perfect time for you to workout,” she laughs. “I do HIIT training, and I do it hard. It’s got to be done before Mila wakes up.” It sounds like Kristina has motherhood all sewn up – she’s even found time to sign up for yoga teacher training and, wherever possible, she hangs out with her friends. “Yoga gives me time to focus on myself. As crazy as it sounds, it’s my

downtime. I also like to hang out with my friends at my favourite restaurant, but it’s rare these days. Now it’s all about the baby.” Luckily, there’s a friend on hand that knows the deal: fellow Strictly professional Anton Du Beke. “Anton understands – he has twins. I thought one baby was trouble – imagine two!,” she says. It might be a few years since Kristina was last in Strictly, but there’s plenty to keep her busy. “Life without the show has been a very different challenge. It’s full on. I have the same busy schedule, just without so much glitter!” Her UK tour is under wraps, but it’s safe to say there will be a few familiar faces from the Strictly crew to keep us on our toes. And what about those X Factor rumours? Is Kristina tipped to make the moves on the ITV talent show? “I don’t know where this comes from,” she laughs. “If they want me, I’ll do it. The X Factor would be very different to Strictly – less glitter but a few more fireworks. Whatever happens, I’ve got my creative juices flowing. It’s very exciting.” For more information about Kristina’s wedding service and first dance choreography, visit bespokeballroom.com and click on the link marked weddings at the top of the page. 25

Brought to book

After reams of rejection letters, writer John Marrs tried self-publishing. Here’s his success story...

PHOTOGRAPH: GEMMA DAY

hey say everyone has a book inside them waiting to be written. Back in 2012, there was a story dying to break out of me. I’d read an anonymous letter to a magazine from a woman whose husband had vanished 15 years earlier, leaving her to bring up their four children alone. All police investigations failed to find any trace of him. I was touched by her vivid descriptions of the lows and highs of being both parents to her confused brood and never knowing why her husband vanished or if he’d ever return. I decided to write a fictitious version of her story, but told from both hers and his perspectives. I stretched it over a 25-year period with each chapter ending on the day he returned to explain why and where he went. A year and a half and 110,000 words later, The Wronged Sons was complete. I assumed that with more than 20 years as a journalist behind me, writing for national magazines and newspapers, I might have had a slight advantage over other new writers on the hunt for an agent. How naive I was. I began by highlighting 80 agents listed in the Writers’ & Artists’ Yearbook who accepted author inquiries. Each had an individual criteria; some required an introductory letter only, others a brief synopsis, some needed the first three chapters and occasionally the whole novel. After two weeks and a well-trodden path to my local post office counter, I sat and waited. The first few rejection letters trickled through the letterbox within seven days. More came within a fortnight and by the end of the month, my hope of becoming the next publishing success story deflated like the slow puncture of a tyre. Over the next four months, the rest of the rebuffs appeared in dribs and drabs. 26

Their content varied. A few only contained the words “not for us” scribbled on a “with compliments” slip; there were many photocopied generic refusal letters and, on rare occasions, more detailed notes explaining why my book wouldn’t work for them. Even as a thick-skinned journalist, it was hard not to feel a little rejected. The novel sat in a folder on my laptop for the best part of six months before I decided to self-publish. Once upon a time, an agentless writer’s only option was vanity publishing, which involves paying a business to typeset, design and print your book. You pay in advance for a set number of books then try to sell them on. But in 2007, Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing changed the entire self-publishing landscape. It enabled any hopeful to upload their original work, charge a fee of their choice and sell it online to readers to download on their Kindle or tablet. Both you and Amazon receive a cut of each sale. Now, with an estimated one million selfpublished books uploaded every year, competition to be seen has never been tougher. I was fortunate that enough family and friends of friends bought The Wronged Sons for it to make an impact on Amazon’s charts. Then, once visible, people I didn’t know began downloading it, too. Recommendations also came from members of online book clubs. According to a study by Author Earnings (authorearnings.com), 42 per cent of all books now downloaded are by indie writers, many of whom, like me, have been rejected by agents. “A good book is a good book,” says founder of compulsivereaders.com Tracy Fenton, who prides herself on discovering fresh new talent. “It doesn’t matter if it’s been self-published or traditionally published. If you enjoy it, you want to share it with everyone. Some agents may be

reluctant about taking on self-published writers, but readers don’t have that attitude.” Eighteen months later, buoyed by the success of The Wronged Sons, I self-published my second novel, Welcome To Wherever You Are. In June 2016 came my third, A Thousand Small Explosions. But then came a series of events I hadn’t anticipated. A few days after Explosions was released, I was approached by a commissioning editor at Penguin Random House. She’d been surfing new Amazon releases, downloaded and read my book and contacted me to see if I’d consider going down a traditionally published route. As it was S MAGAZINE ★ 30 APRIL 2017

Penguin, of course I accepted and following rewrites, a new cover and a new title, The One will be released on Thursday. At the same time, television production company Urban Myth Films purchased the option to turn the book into a TV series. It’s also been recorded as an audiobook for Amazon-owned Audible. The novel that started my journey, The Wronged Sons, came to the attention of publisher Thomas & Mercer, which has since signed me to a three-book deal. The first, a rewrite of The Wronged Sons under the new title When You Disappeared, is set for release in July. One of my favourite things to have come from S MAGAZINE ★ 30 APRIL 2017

this ride is being able to interact with readers. They often tweet me to chat about characters or storylines they enjoyed and send me pictures on Instagram of my books in countries as far and wide as Canada, the Maldives and New Zealand. Self-published writers are increasingly finding success after being discovered online. The Martian, Fifty Shades Of Grey, Still Alice and Wool all began as e-books. And in future, agentless success stories are going to increase. Thanks to places like Amazon’s self-publishing platforms, getting an agent isn’t the only route to publication. Publishers are increasingly hungry to find fresh talent and so are more likely to be

actively searching online than previously, cutting out the middle man. Not getting an agent isn’t the end of the road. If a book is good enough, it will find its audience eventually. The One (£7.99, Del Rey) is out on Thursday. See Bookshop on Page 81. When You Disappeared will be released in July by Thomas & Mercer. 27

Life is just one great adventure for intrepid explorer Levison Wood, as Amy Packer discovers

t can’t be easy being the parent of a child with wanderlust, particularly if that son is TV action man of the moment Levison Wood. He’s a former Para who was the first person to walk the length of the Nile from the source to the sea. “I hitchhiked through Iraq when I was 21, but I didn’t tell Mum until six months later,” he confesses. She was apparently also oblivious of the cliff-face plunge in Nepal that saw her son’s car freewheel down the side of a mountain at midnight, almost costing him his right arm, in one of the most frightening scenes of his Channel 4 TV series, Walking The Himalayas. Levison says: “I told her we had a little bump. I didn’t tell her any details so she didn’t know until she saw the show and read the book.” The son of teachers, Levison grew up in Stoke-on-Trent. “My dad was always very encouraging of me to go out and do stuff and take risks and he always wanted me to join the army so I don’t think Mum really had a look in to be honest,” he says. “I left home on my 18th birthday and that was it. She probably does worry still, but because I’ve been doing it for so long she hides it very well.” Today, though, 34-year-old Levison (Lev to his friends) is on

From left: In Walking The Himalayas, Levison returns to Afghanistan; with trekking partner Boston Beka as they overtake Ugandan water carriers during Levison’s bid to trek the length of the Nile in 2013 and 2014 solid ground in the central London offices of skincare expert Clinique for Men where as an ambassador for the #BehindTheFace campaign he is helping celebrate aspirational real lives. The open-necked shirt he wears with suit trousers, augmented by just a smattering of stubble, make him look more like an accountant heading to the pub than an explorer. But while it may be disappointing for his female admirers, the low-key off-duty look does mean he’s unlikely to be recognised in the street. “People think I’m always climbing mountains in khaki with a massive beard, so I only get the odd double-take. Occasionally someone will say, ‘You look a bit like that guy who walked the Nile’ and I just reply, ‘Oh yeah, I get that all the time’ and ignore it,” he says. How have his former army mates reacted to his status as a reluctant pin-up? “Initially, when I started doing this and going from being a professional officer to TV, people took the mickey – and they’re all working in banks now, so it’s swings and roundabouts,” he laughs.

S MAGAZINE ★ 30 APRIL 2017

Levison didn’t go looking for fame, though. It found him. “My boyhood dream wasn’t to be on television, it was to write about adventure and travel, so the books that go with my shows are really important to me,” he says. “People are sometimes surprised that the books are so different to what they see on TV, but we don’t automatically cover the same stories. What works on television doesn’t necessarily make good writing and vice versa, so it’s a completely different version of the same truth.” Before joining the army, Levison read modern history at Nottingham University. “My dissertation thesis was on travel writing, so I’m one of the few people who studied history who actually got to use it afterwards,” he says. “I’m writing a children’s book about past explorers for seven to nine year olds at the moment, too.” Home for the last two years has been a grade II-listed 17th century townhouse overlooking the gardens of Hampton Court Palace. In a labour of love, he and his parents spent the best part of 18 months renovating it, tearing out 1950s fireplaces, coating the place in Farrow & Ball colours and finding homes on its walls for the collection of hunting knives and Kashmiri rugs picked up on his travels. Leafy Surrey seems a pretty tame base, given Levison’s taste for thrill-seeking. “I’d been living in southwest London for a few years and I just fancied a breath of fresh air, some time living by the deer, the river and the park,” he explains.

However, the pace of life clearly hasn’t suited him quite as much as he expected it to, and the house is now for sale. “It’s been lovely but I’m ready to re-emerge into city life,” he admits. While the decor may scream bachelor pad, there are rumours Levison himself is no longer on the market. He is coy about the subject and will only say he didn’t receive any valentine cards (“just a few cheeky tweets”) and claims he is too busy to think about romance. “I probably won’t settle down for a few years yet. I’m booked out for two years, anyway, so I can’t really.” This is hardly unexpected. He has never been one to sit still for long: “I studied the Grand Tour and that led to an interest in the Silk Road. When I finished university I could have joined the army straight away but I wanted to travel and I thought what better than to follow in the footsteps of the most impressive overland journey. So I just set off from Nottingham and ended up in Goa five months later.” Part of Levison’s journey took him through Afghanistan only a few years before he was stationed there with his regiment. About making the adjustment from gap-year jaunt to desert service in combat gear, he says: “It felt familiar because it was only a difference of four years. I first went in 2004 and back after my training in 2008. I don’t think a lot of people in the army really got it. My bosses were quite protective of the fact that their experiences of the country had always been of war while I’d been there effectively on

holiday, meeting with and staying with mujaheddin and Islamic fighters. It was an insight and helped me understand why these people were shooting at us.” Unsurprisingly, there is little Levison is afraid of and he brushes aside queries about trepidation with the steeliness you would expect from an army veteran. “There’s no time to be nervous,” he says of his next expedition (destination: top secret, “Channel 4 would kill me if I told you”) while his experiences of Guatemalan ganglands are dismissed with the throwaway: “It wasn’t really scary, it was just weird.” One thing he concedes can be terrifying, however, is public speaking. He has recently toured the UK, relating his escapades to theatres full of fans while promoting the book that accompanies his most recent show, Walking The Americas. “Initially it was terrifying, but the more you do, the easier it becomes,” he says. “I’ve not had any hecklers yet but then I’m not doing comedy – although it feels like it sometimes.” Talking to him, you get the feeling there’s very little Levison couldn’t turn his hand to. “I did my first five-year plan at the age of 10 and stuck to it rigidly and that worked out,” he says. “I’ve done another every five years since. If you have a bit of discipline you can achieve whatever you want.” For video clips and information about the #BehindTheFace campaign, visit clinique.co.uk. 29

Relax, indulge or explore in the Dominican Republic, the Caribbean’s treasure island

elaxing in a shallow natural pool in the middle of the Caribbean Sea – just off the southeastern tip of the Dominican Republic – the hustle and bustle of my London life seemed a million miles away. The sun was beating down and shoals of colourful fish darted around when I put my head under the water. This was a far cry from my normal daily routine. I felt myself first begin to relax when I saw the azure horizon from the aeroplane window, following a nine-hour flight from Gatwick on board a state-of-the-art Thomson Airways Dreamliner. It’s aptly named as the time on board flew by like a dream. I had never visited the Caribbean before, and the vision that greeted me on arrival in the Dominican Republic was even more blissful than I had imagined. The bold blue sky, white beaches, palm trees and cocktails on every corner that I had seen in photos were all there, yet I was really taken aback by just how relaxed the vibe was. I was staying at the Sensatori Resort Azul Punta Cana on the island’s east coast, and as soon as I arrived, the stylish interiors and attention to detail confirmed this was going to be a real luxury experience. The newest of the Sensatori resorts, this high-spec hotel has it all: an amazing beachside location, excellent eating and drinking options, and plenty to do. My room was in an adult-only area of the resort and had swim-up access to the pool – perfect for me, as I always like to do a few lengths while on holiday. I spent my first day drinking from chilled coconuts while leisurely wandering the soft sandy beach and resting on four-poster daybeds. The day was topped off with a delicious fine-dining experience at the Sicilian restaurant Verdello. In fact, throughout the whole trip I was treated to amazing dishes from a variety of cuisines, from authentic-tasting Asian food to a 16-course “epicurean” dinner extravaganza at Kitchen 23. They certainly know how to push the boat out at Sensatori Punta Cana. The inclusive drinks were much appreciated and I even partook of a cigar one night when I was feeling decadent. Well, it would be rude not to when the place is famed for them. One day I signed up for the resort’s Caribbean Cruise excursion, which began with a speedboat whisking me away to Saona, a nearby picturepostcard island where that famous Bounty advert

After snorkelling in the crystalclear surrounding sea, I sprawled on the deck and topped up my tan, not quite believing how perfect the setting was. Total paradise. After exploring the island, a catamaran smoothly carried me back to the resort. On another day our party witnessed the wonderful sights and sounds that the Dominican Republic has to offer from a chauffeur-driven rally car. This was off-roading in luxury style. We enjoyed a tipple from the in-car mini bar as it sped down jungle trails, passing local farmers, craft shops, schools, ranches and plantations, which grow some of the country’s main exports, cocoa and coffee. Now I know where my favourite brand of dark chocolate comes from. As soon as I left Sensatori Punta Cana I

immediately wanted to return. I love the bustle of London but with this much fun and relaxation in one place, it’s the perfect sanctuary to escape from everyday life. Megan Bramley

Vogue Wiliams The TV host mixes outdoorsy style with designer chic Words and styling by Laura Mulley

“Black always looks cool,” says Vogue, who teams leather J Brand trousers with an AQ/AQ top. Her heels are Louboutin 32

Vogue, 31, is a model, TV presenter and DJ. In 2015 she was crowned the winner of Bear Grylls: Mission Survive and has hosted BBC Northern Ireland travel show Getaways and the documentary series Vogue Williams Investigates. Originally from Ireland, she now lives in east London. How would you describe your style? My style always depends on my mood. Some days I can dress really girlie and other days I’ll be more androgynous. I don’t like loads of glitz and glam, though. I like to keep it more simple and stylish. What colours and shapes suit you best? Black, white and grey mostly but I like pastels for summer. Black is just such an easy colour to wear and always looks cool and slick. I like my jeans fitted but I wear quite baggy tops and slouchy jackets. What is your favourite fashion era? It’s hard to choose one because fashion is so cyclical. My mum, back in the 80s, was incredibly stylish – quite bohemian – and I love her clothes from then. I wish she’d saved some of them. Who is your style icon? Kate Bosworth and Diane Kruger are so chic and well put together, I would quite happily steal their wardrobes. I like Olivia Palermo, too. She’s a bit girlie for me but I love what she wears. Do you own more high street or high end? Definitely a mix of the two. I love high-street shops – they cater for how easily fashions come and go. What are your favourite high-street stores? I love H&M, especially their

Studio line, River Island and Zara. I’ve really got into Very Exclusive recently. It’s the more affordable end of designer and I always find things I want on their website. They do amazing sales, too. If money was no object, what designer clothing would you buy? Maison Margiela, Gucci, Givenchy, Saint Laurent, Céline. I’d love to be dressed head to toe in Céline all the time. I love some of the Australian designers like Zimmermann, Bec & Bridge and Maurie & Eve, too. You are the face of outdoor clothing brand Regatta. What do you love about the range? Regatta is not only stylish but really good quality and not overly expensive. You can get a good-quality jacket for about £50, so it’s really accessible. And their clothes really last. I’ve had one of their jackets for three years and it’s still in great condition. I’ve always been really into fitness and wear gym gear most days. What is your favourite piece from the Regatta SS17 collection? The raincoat. I had it in yellow, then my sister stole it from me, so I got another yellow one and also a red version – then my sister pinched the red one, too. Do you own anything vintage? A few things, some coats and things my mum has given me, but I’m quite a lazy shopper. My mum can spend hours in TK Maxx, but I don’t have the patience, and it’s the same with vintage. Also, because I’m tall, vintage clothing doesn’t really fit me. What is the oldest item in your wardrobe? My granny’s fur coat. I don’t S MAGAZINE ★ 30 APRIL 2017

Vuitton one. How much do you spend on clothes each month? I buy something every month, for sure, although I have been known to put myself on shopping bans if I go too crazy. Now I’m about buying more expensive pieces, although fewer of them. What is your best beauty secret? I swear by good facials. I’ll get one at least once a month. I get a Collagen Wave facial at a salon in Notting Hill, and the Renaissance Laser and Skin Clinic in Dublin has totally transformed my skin. I think it’s so important to look after your skin. What is the best piece of fashion advice you have ever been given? Make sure things fit well and don’t try to fit into a size you’re not.

wear fur anymore as I don’t want to promote it, but the coat has got sentimental value. Are you a hoarder or do you clear out your wardrobe regularly? I have so many clothes. The more I get rid of, the more I buy. I do have big clear-outs, as I think it’s good for the mind, but I struggle to get rid of coats. I have an obsession with coats and trainers. How many pairs of shoes do you own? About 200 pairs of trainers alone, possibly more. My logic is the more pairs you have, the less time you spend in each, so they last longer. After damaging my knee earlier in the year they were all I could wear. I’ve a lot of heels, too. I just love shoes. What is the most expensive item in your wardrobe? Probably an Alexander McQueen or a Louis Vuitton handbag. I tell myself they last forever, although my friend’s dog chewed the sides off the

Exercise made easy Shaping up and getting ﬁt for life can take just a couple of sessions a week, says Rachael Woolston “Lifting weights has improved my mental and physical health” Martha Adam, 27, a market researcher, lives in Ealing, west London, with her 28-year-old fiancé, Phil, a data consultant. “I started seeing a personal trainer once a week in May 2016 when I was dealing with acute anxiety. I’d suffered from it most of my life, but it had got so bad I increasingly had to get off crowded tube trains and wait before continuing my commute to work. I’d also stopped seeing friends because new places made me anxious. The final straw was waking up desperate to go to the toilet but being too terrified to go to the bathroom. In the end my boyfriend had to calm me down so that I could get out of bed. I’d been diagnosed with anxiety in January 2011 when I started seeing a counsellor for post-traumatic stress syndrome after being raped by someone I knew. During our sessions, we realised that while the rape was a contributing factor, I’d always suffered from anxiety but never realised it. I was fed up with it controlling my life and decided that getting fit might help. The first session I did was lifting weights and I loved it. Before, I’d always thought that getting fit involved running on a treadmill, which only ever left me a sweating, panting mess and emphasised how unfit I was. Lifting weights made me feel strong and empowered. I went home with shaky legs, feeling great, and slept better than I’d done in months. I then found a women’s group called Ladies Who Lift. In my first class there were about six women learning how to lift with barbells and big weighted plates. If it had been a class full of men it would have been intimidating, but because it was women of all ages, sizes and shapes, it was inspiring. I thought, if they can do it, why not me? I went home feeling fantastic and waking up the next day with aching muscles felt really satisfying. 34

I now lift weights twice a week and no longer think anything of going into the male-dominated heavy weights area. Lifting weights is addictive and I’ve learned that if I can get over my fear that tells me, ‘No you can’t lift that weight’ then I can usually do it. It’s a lesson that I now try to take to all areas of my life, which has helped me manage my anxiety. I’m now more confident and no longer turn down invitations just because I’m worried about whether I’ll have an attack. Plus, exercising twice a week helps me sleep and eat better, too. My fiancé Phil has always been amazingly supportive and has never got frustrated with me, but things are now easier because there is less pressure on us both. I can now deadlift 80 kilograms – more than my own body weight. I don’t need to spend hours in the gym. Twice a week has transformed my confidence and strength, both mentally and physically.” For information on Ladies Who Lift, visit strengthambassadors.com.

Weightlifting inspires Martha while boosting her self-conﬁdence

“I lost five kilograms of post-baby weight simply by walking twice a week” Georgie Monaghan, 32, a marketing director, is married to Robin, an acoustic engineer. They live in Worthing with their nine-month-old son, Ryn, and dog Argie. “Before I had Ryn I used to exercise four or five times a week; boxing, boot camp, running, kettlebells, you name it. I would have laughed if anyone had suggested I’d be able to get fit just by walking twice a week, but I do. Six weeks after having my son, Ryn, I was desperate to get back to exercising – as much for the endorphins as for some much-needed me-time. I loved being a mum but it hit hard that I had taken for granted time to exercise and me time. I started running again but it hurt my hips and the osteopath said I needed to wait because my body was still full of the hormone, relaxin, which was making my joints over S MAGAZINE ★ 30 APRIL 2017

flexible. Then I tried a mum-and-baby exercise class, which I didn’t like as it felt so tame, and I didn’t like it being indoors. It was the middle of the summer, I was surviving on little sleep and I felt really cooped up, just breastfeeding and sleeping all day. Then one night I read that to make things easier for yourself as a new mum, simplify. It was a light-bulb moment. I had a baby and a dog, both who needed to get out for fresh air, why didn’t I get out and walk as my exercise? That way there was no stress about having to get childcare and it would be gentle enough not to cause hip problems. So in July 2016 I started my walking regime, doing 90 minutes every Saturday and one morning a week. During the week I’d strap Ryn in his papoose, about the weight of a kettlebell, and on Saturdays it was just me and the dog while Robin looked after Ryn. That first Saturday on my own I walked up the South Downs and it was amazing. I reached S MAGAZINE ★ 30 APRIL 2017

the top and felt energised and free. I’d built up a sweat, had time to myself and got a much-needed dose of endorphins. That night I slept better and felt more relaxed than I’d done in ages and woke up with a satisfyingly aching bottom and legs. Within four weeks I began to notice my jeans getting looser and within three months I’d lost five kilograms (11lb) and everyone kept commenting on how in shape and toned I looked. They couldn’t believe it when I told them it was from walking. Mind you, I never stroll, but march, and I always try to include hills. Getting outdoors really is the best therapy. I’d love to have the time to do more exercise, but walking twice a week has made me realise that I don’t need to stress myself out by trying to carve out more time between work, my relationship, Ryn, the dog and more exercise. As long as I walk twice a week, it keeps me in shape and sane.”

Harriet Mulvaney, 46, from Wye Valley, South Wales, lives with her husband, Steve, and three children, Georgia, 15, and 12-year-old twins William and Thomas. “I used to be an HR director and would leave home at 7am and not get home until 7pm. I’d be sedentary apart from an occasional fitness campaign, which never lasted. One night in November 2014 I felt a crushing pain in my chest. I’d felt it two days before but ignored it. When pins and needles started radiating down my left arm I thought, ‘How can I be having a heart attack, I’m only 44?’ I was terrified and shouted for Steve, who called 999. I was rushed to hospital in Cardiff, where they performed an angiogram, and diagnosed spontaneous coronary artery syndrome (scad), caused by a tearing of the lining of one of the arteries leading to my heart which had blocked the flow of blood. I could have died. I was prescribed blood pressure medication and had three days in hospital and six weeks off work. I felt breathless and tired, old and vulnerable. You take your life and health for granted but having a heart attack challenges everything. Six weeks after the attack I started going to cardio rehab twice a week and group sessions with others who’d had heart attacks. After returning to work, I decided to resign and took six months off to recuperate and reevaluate. Then in April I started running, using a treadmill. At first I was terrified, as were my family who kept popping in to check I was still OK. But at cardio rehab I’d learned to measure how to slowly build up the exertion. I started sleeping better, had more focus during the day and I began to trust my body again. Amazingly, I was able to complete the British Heart Foundation Marathon Month (to run a marathon distance over a month) and raised more than £1,500. These days I work as a freelance HR consultant and my life is much less stressful. I run twice a week and it has made such a difference to my recovery and mental wellbeing.”

JANE’S BRAND-NEW ADVICE LINES

Our agony aunt gets to the heart of your relationship problems

Why can’t I stop making love to my ex? Despite the fact my ex and I both have new partners, we are still having sex. We go for months, then one of us will crack, get in touch and we’ll arrange to meet. I know it’s wrong and I hate myself afterwards but the passionate urges are too strong to resist. We broke up because we could never agree about anything practical, yet sex is our glue. After our last naughty fling at

Christmas, I told him we should never see each other again but I can feel myself being drawn to him again. I can’t lose him as we have so much history. How can we move on but stay friends? Why do you need to remain friends with your ex? You don’t mention having any children together, so let him go. There’s absolutely no reason for you both to still be in touch. You couldn’t live together, so you must find a way of living

apart. Take the initiative and sever the link. Of course, it’s going to be hard, but one thing is for sure, you can’t carry on like this forever. At the moment you’re not being fair on your new partner either. What has he done to deserve this shoddy treatment? If the reality is that alcohol is often behind your desire to reconnect, then look at how much you’re drinking and change all of your bad habits with professional help if necessary.

Do you have a sexual or emotional problem? Need to improve your relationship or sex life? Call these new phonelines for Jane O’Gorman’s friendly, expert advice.

I really dislike my partner’s 23-year-old daughter. She’s a nightmare and is always getting into trouble with the police. She has robbed and attacked my partner, and she stole my camera and phone. Currently she’s facing charges for attempting to dupe an elderly couple, but my partner is standing by her. How do I make my partner see her for what she really is? No one could blame you for being exasperated, but there is no denying a mother’s love. Of course, you can see that your partner’s

daughter is a living nightmare but, clearly, she is not prepared to give up on her yet. She is her own flesh and blood. Obviously, she still believes that there is some good in her, which will come out in the end. Tell her that she’s free to do what she must, but your relationship needs to be ring-fenced and protected, too.

Sex matters Can I trust a guy with a very chequered sexual past? He’s been married and divorced three times and says there have been many other women in his life. We met online a few months ago and he’s been completely honest about his past – blaming his immaturity as a young man, plus bad luck. He’s no longer in touch with his ex-wives despite having four children. He swears he’s different now – and our sex life is great – but am I vulnerable? Is he guilty of neglecting the 36

children or maintenance payments? Keep asking questions and monitoring his reactions until you’re satisfied he’s honourable. Three divorces does seem a lot, but these things happen. Ultimately, are you completely happy and comfortable with the man he is now? Does he genuinely seem a reformed character? Has he ever asked for money or done or said anything that doesn’t add up? Trust your instincts. Also, take a sexual health check and always insist on using condoms until you get the all clear.

She regularly reduces me to tears and seems triumphant when I make the tiniest mistake. Colleagues tell me to toughen up and start fighting back. But it’s just not in my nature to cause a fuss? Force yourself to stand up straight and start having faith in yourself. You’ve pulled off one great deal, now develop a thicker skin and show everyone what you’re made of.

A cut above Say hello to spring with succulent lamb cooked to perfection Styling by Victoria Gray Photographs by Winfried Heinze

Aromatic spring lamb hotpot has a spicy North African twist

Aromatic spring lamb hotpot Serves: 2 Preparation time: 15 minutes plus marinating overnight Cooking time: 3 hours 2 lamb shanks 20g (¾oz) ras el hanout spice mix 30ml (1fl oz) olive oil, plus a splash for the marinade 6 garlic cloves, peeled and roughly chopped 2 white onions, peeled and roughly chopped 6 plum tomatoes 1 lemon (unwaxed if possible) 500ml (17½fl oz) light chicken or vegetable stock 5g cornflour Salt and pepper A mixed handful of fresh mint and basil leaves, roughly chopped O For this aromatic and light take on a traditional hotpot, first rub the lamb shanks with my favourite spice ras el hanout, a North African blend of up to 50 spices including rose petals, cardamom and coriander. O Mix a splash of olive oil and garlic, massage into the shanks then marinate overnight. O The next day, soften the chopped onions in the olive oil in a earthenware pot big enough to hold the shanks.

Remove the tomatoes’ tough eyes then add the flesh to the onions along with the zest of the lemon. O Add the stock, bring to a simmer and reduce by 30%. Mix the cornflour with enough cold water to form a paste then use it to thicken the broth. O Preheat the oven to 140°C/ 275°F/gas mark 1. O Separately fry the shanks on all sides until golden and caramelised, then add them to the broth, cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook in the oven for 3 hours, checking the meat comes easily away from the bone when testing for tenderness. O To finish, season to taste then add the chopped mint and basil. Serve in bowls with plenty of the aromatic juices and couscous or steamed rice. S MAGAZINE ★ 30 APRIL 2017

WINE

Jamie Goode Our expert is on the scent of a superb spring selection of aromatic whites

MEGAN BRAMLEY

romatic white wines offer a particularly pleasing smell and are the perfect tipple for enjoying at this time of year. I’ve chosen a range of very different styles from all over the world that have one thing in common – they’re all delicious. Fruit Orchestra Chenin Blanc Viognier 2016, Western Cape, South Africa £7.99, The Co-operative, 13% alcohol Textural and sweetly fruited, this is brimming with pear, spice and citrus flavours. It’s smooth and broad, with good weight, as well

as being full-favoured and rounded with lots of personality. Dopff & Irion Gewurztraminer Cuvée René Dopff 2015, Alsace, France £11.95, tanners-wines.co.uk (020 7357 0244), 13.5% alcohol Here’s a very fine, pure and fresh white with textured pear, apple and Turkish delight flavours. There is also hint of sweetness that works really well. Marks & Spencer Gers 2016 IGP Gers, France £5.50, Marks & Spencer, 11.5% alcohol Made from the colombard grape,

which is usually intended for brandy production, this is aromatic with some pear and tropical fruit characters, coupled with a brisk grapefruit and lemony fruitiness. It’s crisp and utterly delicious. Gérard Bertrand Cigalus Blanc 2015, Sud de France £30, Harrods, 13.5% alcohol Rich and intense, this is full of powerful pear, peach and fennel flavours. It is a bit salty, with some nice spiciness, and there’s toast, nuts and cream on the finish. It’s a powerful white with a hefty price tag, but there’s lots of weight to it and it’s not overly heavy.

Gerovassiliou Malagousia Single Vineyard 2015, Epanomi, Greece £16, strictlywine.co.uk (01235 364536), 13% alcohol Intense and aromatic, this has tropical melon and pineapple as well as some grapiness. There’s a vivid, pithy edge to the exotic, sweet fruit. Pure and delicious, this is a real crowd-pleaser with a hint of seriousness to it. Again it’s pricey but well worth it. Torres Viña Esmeralda 2015, Catalunya, Spain £8.50, Waitrose, 11.5% alcohol This white blends together two aromatic varieties – muscat and gewurztraminer. It’s a deliciously fruity wine with aromas of lemons, table grapes and fine herbs. It has a good weight and just a tad of sweetness. Jordi Miró Garnacha Blanca 2016, Terra Alta, Spain £9.50, Marks & Spencer, 13.5% alcohol This is a delicious dry white from the garnacha blanca variety, with zesty, pretty citrus and green apple fruit, and a floral, grapey, nutty edge. There are lots of dimensions to this wine, which offers purity and vitality.

Ground rules Before you grow your own, it pays to do some planning, says Alan

There’s no point in taking a “leave it to nature” approach to kitchen gardening. Fruit and veg demand regular, ongoing commitment and attention to detail – but that doesn’t mean you have to slave away all hours on your plot. People usually take on far more than they can manage, then can’t keep up with the work so crops are ruined. My number one kitchen gardening tip is that you’d do far better to grow half the amount but grow it twice as well.

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO SUBSTITUTE ANY VARIETIES FOR OTHERS OF EQUAL OR GREATER VALUE

Site and situation As a general rule, give edible crops the best part of your garden or else improve the conditions where you would like them to grow. You can do this simply by planting a natural windbreak such as blackberries on a wire-netting fence, by improving the soil with lots of organic matter or, better still, by making a few intensive veg or salad beds with seriously well-enriched soil.

Grand designs Veg patches used to be buried at the back of the garden, but these days a spot of designer flair is no bad thing, even with edible crops. Conventional rows are practical but you might consider a compartmentalised kitchen garden within a garden or a decorative potager – an informal flowerbedshaped plot with veg and salad plants dotted about in drifts.

Top of the crops Your aim is to make the best use of your space to produce a good range S MAGAZINE ★ 30 APRIL 2017

of crops you can eat all year round without ending up with a glut. First, mark in what you intend to plant in spring, roughly how long the crops will occupy the ground and what you’ll follow them with. You’ll find it helps to plant produce into groups according to timescales so they slot in together to fill the space available. For example, some crops occupy the ground for the best part of a year, such as Brussels sprouts, while others, such as baby spinach leaves and lettuce, take only 10 to 15 weeks to grow. If you sow a row of these between slower-growing crops, the salads will have come out by the time their bigger neighbours need more space.

Do things by halves

Going green? You will have to decide early on whether you want to be an organic gardener or not. True organic gardeners do not use chemical sprays or fertilizers derived from inorganic sources. I am one of them. Other gardeners avoid sprays but use inorganic fertilizers. Remember that organic fertilizers will utilise soil bacteria when they are being “broken down” for absorption by plants’ roots; inorganic ones can be absorbed in solution with no bacterial involvement and soil can become more lifeless. I’m happier with organic, especially in the kitchen garden where I will be eating the plants I grow.

Organic matter and fertilizer

When mixed with soil, organic matter holds on to moisture so the

ground doesn’t dry out too fast, plus it creates tiny air spaces that help drainage and make soil softer so that roots are able to spread more easily. There are several sources. You can buy in manure or spent mushroom compost, or make your own garden compost from “green” garden waste. Whichever you choose, it must be well-rotted.

Organic matter isn’t enough to improve soil, heavy-cropping plants need a fertilizer, too. Generalpurpose fertilizer, such as organic blood, fish and bone or inorganic Growmore, provides equal quantities of three main nutrients your kitchen garden crops will need (nitrogen, phosphates and potassium). Happy kitchen gardening.

Call of the wild Horse racing and gamekeeping stir up animal passions Centaur **** by Declan Murphy and Ami Rao (Doubleday, £16.99) On May Day, 1994, leading Irish jump jockey Declan Murphy and his mount Arcot suffered a horrific fall at an incongruously sun-bathed Haydock Park. The chestnut brown gelding overstretched for the last hurdle of their race, fatally shattering his pelvis and hurling Murphy to the turf. As he lay there prone, Murphy was struck on the head by a trailing horse’s hoof. The force of the blow broke his skull like an eggshell and left him clinging to life.

A priest was summoned to his hospital bedside to administer the last rites. But for the fact that his father’s extreme fear of flying meant his parents took the boat from Ireland to England, his life-support machine would have been switched off. Instead, in the intervening seven hours, he regained consciousness. Murphy appears to have stark, vivid recall of the events leading up to his personal cataclysm. Yet when he came out of his coma 10 days later, he did so believing he was 12 years old, with the last four years of his

life completely erased from his memory. One of the many incredible revelations in his often extraordinary story is that he has not until now shared this latter fact with a single other soul, not his doctors, loved ones or closest friends. In this and other regards, Centaur reads like an act of purging and that makes for a deeply powerful memoir. Crucially, Murphy is beautifully served by his co-writer Ami Rao who fills in the blank tracts in his mind. She starts with Murphy’s childhood in rural Limerick where from a young age he seemed able to bend any horse to his will and follows him up to the peak of his profession. She brings grace and poetry to the typically dry language of sport. Particularly evocative is the sense of what it’s like to sit astride a racehorse going full pelt and also of Murphy before his terrible accident, blessed with unshakeable self-confidence, singleminded and relentlessly driven, but also enigmatic and somehow apart from others. These ingrained traits were clearly crucial in helping Murphy to return from the abyss then rebuild his broken self. The forensically detailed first half of the book is devoted to Murphy’s astonishing, sometimes painful and painstaking recovery, as he compelled himself to walk, talk, feel and be again. It is an entirely gripping drama. Fittingly, Centaur has a remarkable last act. Eighteen months on from Haydock Park, Murphy rode a horse named Jibereen to victory at Chepstow and then retired from racing for good. Paul Rees

The cream of female fiction, reviewed by Fanny Blake Keep Me Safe by Daniela Sacerdoti (Headline Review, £12.99) When Anna’s partner walks out, their young daughter Ava is silent for three days. When she speaks, she asks for her mother. Not Anna. Another mother. Baffled by Ava’s frequent references to her “other” life, Anna takes her to Seal Island in the Scottish Hebrides, the place Ava calls home. Here, Anna casts off the shackles of her past and investigates Ava’s link with the place. The romantic side of the story is predictable but the supernatural element gives the novel its edge.

The Cows by Dawn O’Porter (HarperCollins, £14.99) The Cows is the story of three modern women. Ambitious Tara works in the media; loner Cam hides behind the bullish personality she projects to her millions of blog followers; Stella still struggles with grief for her twin sister who died five years earlier. When Tara is caught doing something embarrassing on the tube, the repercussions leach into all the women’s lives. Fast, fun and fearless, The Cows sounds a warning bell about social media and the damage it can cause.

Lost For Words by Stephanie Butland (Zaffre, £7.99) Working in a second-hand bookshop suits Loveday Cardew. Passionate about books and poetry and tattooed with first lines of her favourite books, she’s an antisocial soul. But Rob, a local academic, won’t take no for an answer. And there’s Nathan, poet and magician, too. Then an anonymous delivery of books suggests someone knows about Loveday’s traumatic past and it forces her to confront it. She emerges from her shell in this intriguing and touching story.

The Gamekeeper *** by Portia Simpson (Simon & Schuster, £16.99) portia Simpson was a tomboy and even as a tiny child she preferred fishing and climbing trees to playing with barbie dolls. Small wonder, then, that she chose to train first as a forester and then as a gamekeeper, much to the despair of her professional parents who had hoped for a financially secure career for their daughter. Studying gamekeeping with wildlife management at the North Highland College at Thurso, portia encounters prejudice every step of the way. one fellow student tells her that women shouldn’t have jobs, they should just be teachers or nurses. To start with, she lashes out but she gradually comes to realise that the best answer to such taunts is to prove herself capable of doing as well, if not better, than her fellow students. She makes the grade, outlasting many of the male students and becoming the first woman to graduate from the course. It is a tough career choice because gamekeeping is not for the squeamish. It requires portia to gut and prepare 20-stone deer for game butchers and to set traps that could take her hand off. As a ghillie, she is out in all weathers, traipsing through the

Scottish highlands with recalcitrant ponies. She spends most of her time with men but her personal life is fragmented by insecure and seasonal employment which, during fallow periods, finds her building pheasant pens or trapping hedgehogs on benbecula in the outer Hebrides. She has a taste for unusual pets which include a polecat, a raven and a hooded crow, all of which cause chaos in her rented cottages. The high point of her gamekeeping career is six years spent on the Isle of rum. With a population of just 30, the island is a tight community in which everyone helps each other. portia’s gamekeeping career is brought to an end by a chronic knee problem but she maintains her enthusiasm for conservation and now works for a red squirrel project in Aberdeenshire. What emerges from this charming and unusual book is that gamekeeping is about conservation and about managing wildlife and their predators. Get it wrong and imported animals such as mink, grey squirrels or even hedgehogs will destroy the natural balance of an island. portia Simpson was probably a better gamekeeper than she is a writer, judging by the sometimes gushing tone of her book. Nevertheless, she conjures up the camaraderie of her work and evokes the breathtaking beauty of the wild landscape of Scotland and its islands. Vanessa Berridge

Honey Is love’s greatest gift knowing when it’s time to say goodbye? A touching short story by Rachel Abbott

t’s dark in here, but I don’t mind. I wish I had a cushion though. the floor is hard and I have pulled my knees close to my chest, arms around them, to try to keep warm. It’s a strange place to hide, but I find the familiar scents of my family comforting. I lift one hand and feel for my hair. Its silky smoothness has always soothed me. But it’s not there. I had forgotten. “Jake!” I hear a shout from the kitchen. “come and get your breakfast please.” there’s a clatter of feet on wooden stairs, and then the low murmur of voices. I hear footsteps and I think they’re coming towards me, but I’m wrong. “Lily!” there is no answer. “Jake, go and find your sister for me, will you. She’s hiding again.” Jake moans quietly. “Aw, Dad, she’ll turn up when she’s ready.” “Just do it, Jake. You’ll miss the school bus if she’s not down soon.” feet stomp back up the stairs, much more slowly this time. I can hear Jake shouting “Lily!” with a note of irritation in his young voice. finally, there’s another rush of feet on the stairs. “She’s coming, Dad. What are we having for breakfast?” “toast and honey.” Honey. the sound of the word makes me think of a pool of warm, amber gel, but in my mind I’m standing in it, my feet stuck to the

ground, rooting me to the spot. I know I should move on, but I can’t. And honey means more than that to me. I hear the softer tread of feet coming down the stairs. Lily: my beautiful seven-year-old Lily with her blonde curls and her angelic smile. the burble of conversation goes on in the kitchen, with the occasional burst of laughter. then I hear movement again. “Get your coats, kids.” footsteps start to move along the hallway. they’re coming towards me. the small door is yanked open, and a hand reaches in. “there you are, Honey. I was wondering where you’d got to. How did you get in there? the kids are off, now. come and say goodbye.” As I crawl out, I hear the bolt being pushed back into position. I follow my husband towards the door where my children are waiting. they don’t raise their eyes to look at me – they don’t see me. I lift my hand to my hair again and feel the bare patches there. I look at my wonderful children and know that they don’t understand what’s going on, and I don’t want them to. My husband’s calm expression belies what I know are his true feelings. “Say goodbye to the children, Honey.” He’s still smiling, but I can see

how forced it is. His hand reaches out and I think for a moment that he’s reaching for me, that he wants to stroke my hair – forgetting that it’s no longer there. But after a moment his hand drops back down to his side and his expression changes. He is gritting his teeth – waiting for the moment when the children are out of sight and he can let go. I smile at my children, but they’re not looking at me. they’re looking at their father. one after the other they walk towards him and hug him. “Love you, Dad,” they say in turn. their eyes never meet mine. As they walk away down the driveway I want to run after them and tell them how much I love them, but it would make no sense to them at all. He waits until they are out of sight, then closes the door. He leans against it and stares at me, through me. He’s not seeing me, or at least not as I am now. He’s seeing that other me – the slightly chubby, happy person with the long auburn hair. I ache with sadness and know that it’s time to leave – to desert my beautiful children. He falls to his knees. “come here, Honey,: he whispers. Honey trots towards him, knowing – as I do – what is coming. She lies

down and rests her chin on his thighs, looking up devotedly into his face. He strokes her gently and she lifts her head and starts to lick the tears from his face. “She’s here, isn’t she, Honey?” he asks. Since I’ve been gone Honey has started using her nose to push open the under-stairs cupboard. She never used to do that before. But she knows that I like being in there, listening to my family and inhaling their unique perfumes. It’s because of Honey that he knows when I’m here, and I know how much it’s hurting him. It’s time for me to go. And I mustn’t come back again. If Honey can sense me here, then somewhere, deep in their subconscious minds, my husband and children might feel me too. I need to let go of them, and they of me. It’s time. As I pass the mirror in the hall I look in it, but all I see is the wall behind me. I don’t see my own red-rimmed eyes and the thin, pale face with patches of wispy hair. I see nothing other than an empty room.

INTERvIEW “I’vE never liked having my photo taken. But there are many pictures of me as Marlene, the character created for me by the brilliant writer, John Sullivan, for Only Fools And Horses. This photograph is just one of several that reflect the amazing adventures we had while making it. In this photograph taken in 1991, my Tv husband Boycie (John Challis) and I are in the Everglades National Park in Miami. John Sullivan had written a two-part Christmas special entitled Miami Twice. In the story, Del Boy and Rodney fly to Miami on holiday, get embroiled with the local Mafia, and finally get rescued from imminent death by Boycie and Marlene, who happen to be on holiday there, too, taking their small son, Tyler, on a sightseeing trip to the Everglades. This photograph was taken just as we are about to get on an airboat, a flat-bottomed vessel with a great big propeller on the back. Our driver, Wayne, had a golden mane of curly hair and was flying a Confederate flag from the mast. He shouted, ‘Yee-haw!’ as we raced across the water, pointing out that all around us were terrifying enormous alligators! Eventually, the plot has Del Boy and Rodney appearing from the undergrowth covered in slimy vegetation and looking extremely scared. Boycie and Marlene come to the rescue. We were not in the scene where the boys came face-to-face with an alligator, known

as Al the Gator. The alligator came with his own handler, Sean, who held the beast until the director called, ‘Action!’ Al the Gator was then supposed to scuttle up to a large bowl of food. The director called ‘action’ again but the alligator clearly wasn’t interested in the food. He headed straight for us, the onlookers. My video footage is of the sky and trees as the crew all legged it, while Sean, with a superb dive, landed on the alligator and managed to wrap duct tape around its jaws. And we wonder why actors are always warned, ‘Never work with children or animals!’ John and I were scheduled to be there for three days. But at the end of our final day’s filming, John and I were told that we would have to hang around for seven days before completing our scenes. Mark, my husband, gamely took the news on the chin. Our son freddie was then five and daughter Harriet was six and Mark had a full-time job running the Theatre Royal in Windsor. But he managed. When I think back to how it all started, I remember I was three months pregnant with freddie when I got a call from my agent asking me if I’d be interested in the idea of one day’s filming, playing Marlene, the wife of dodgy second-hand car-dealer, Boycie in the situation comedy Only Fools And Horses. At that stage of my career I tended to be offered rather posh parts. But I had done a slightly off-the-wall series entitled End Of Part One, playing many different roles in a series of sketches. Ray Butt, the producer, knew me from that, and without an audition or even an interview I was offered

the chance to play Marlene. When Only Fools And Horses came to an end, John Challis and I did four very enjoyable theatre tours, and in 2005 John Sullivan suggested that we might like to do a spin-off series starring Boycie and Marlene. And so The Green Green Grass was born. It was filmed in Shropshire, much of it around John Challis’s own beautiful home – and we had four gloriously happy years being those characters again. Not all, but much of, my career has been in comedy. It’s a joy to

make people laugh. When I look at this photograph, I confess that John and I had a wonderful week off, staying in the luxurious, tropical oasis of Coconut Grove – all expenses paid and enjoying the delights of downtown Miami with not a care in the world. I never cease to believe that I am one of the luckiest actresses in the world.” Sue is starring in Ray Cooney’s Out Of Order touring the UK until July 22. Visit cooneyonstage.com.

Programme of the week Line Of Duty

Tonight, 9pm, BBC1

Line Of Duty does many things brilliantly, not least TV’s tensest interviews, but there’s one thing it has completely got away with. The violent criminal we’ve all waited weeks to unmask has one of the silliest serious drama names in recent memory: Balaclava Man. Still, it hasn’t detracted from excellent Sunday night viewing and we’re already wondering how we’re going to fill the gap. But there’s the small matter of what the BBC are calling an “explosive” finale to deal with first and, with a “climactic duel” promised, this is going to be the whole week’s talking point.

The news continues to disappoint but a man in a car is giving everyone something to smile about. OK, so that man is Britain’s favourite funnyman Peter Kay, but even he must be surprised by Car Share’s success. In this final episode, will John and Kayleigh become more than friends?

Henry “The Fonz” Winkler, William “Captain Kirk” Shatner and George “fat-reducing grill” Foreman are off on a tour of Asia. And while we’ve not heard of their fourth member, American football’s Terry Bradshaw, the chance to see this iconic line-up share the trip of a lifetime is too good to miss.

With the makers of Downton Abbey and writer of Lark Rise To Candleford behind it, this new series has pedigree. The 17th-century story follows three women heading to Virginia to marry men who have paid for their passage, but hardship awaits them in the New World.

A new home sweet home should keep the chickens and ducks safe, so why was our columnist getting into a flap? Illustration by Susan Hellard

SuSAN HEllArD C/o ArENA

ecause of Defra regulations, our poor hens and ducks have been incredibly long-suffering during the past months. They’re used to living a very free-range life, scratching about to eat scattered corn, a bit of grass here, a worm or insect there, with no limit to the number of dust baths the chickens took or turns in the plunge pool for the ducks. So their sudden reduction to solitary confinement was quite a blow. It was softened, however, with Charlie’s wonderful shed conversion. It was once a structure without a single right angle or solid side, then Charlie painstakingly took it apart and reassembled it with new and amazing additions – a nesting box all along one side, exit and entrance doors with sliding pop holes and custom-built ladders, and not only a choice of roosting perches inside but also a hanging chain on which to fix their enormous indoor feeder. This kept their meals at beak level and was therefore far less likely to become mixed with the chopped straw and wood shavings that make up their bedding. It was therefore renamed Cluckingham palace. Even though all the chickens had their runs and the ducks had theirs, it really wasn’t ideal. And after studying the current guidelines set out by Defra, we realised we could make their lives far more enjoyable and allow them to be freer, so we did. They all loved seeing each other again and seemingly catching up on the gossip – with one of the lady Muscovies proudly showing her friends the two eggs she’d laid. Somehow, a really persistent crow had managed to get into Eyebrow’s run (to this day we’ve no idea of his method – tunnelling with accomplices of other species hasn’t been ruled out). Nobody saw him go in, nobody witnessed what happened, but at bedtime

S MAGAZINE ★ 30 AprIl 2017

Eyebrow was marching with pride up and down his run, and there, face down in the murky depths – four inches – of his paddling pool was a very large, very drowned crow. So a crow had annoyed Eyebrow, Nobby reported fiendish damage to his house, but there was more. Evil had infiltrated the woods leaving a further sadness to be faced, suffered by the most innocent and unsuspecting of victims. Betty and June, the little chubby cheek chickens whose smiling faces never failed to cheer, were taken from their beds in the night. The culprit broke through their door and in the morning the little souls were gone. To add insult to injury, not only was there a clueless murder scene, there was an

additional victim – perhaps he had tried to fend off the intruder, brave little soul that he was… We will never know. But Betty and June’s little friend the robin lost his life along with them, and his little body was left on the floor of the run. In the traditional Chicken Woods spirit, we manfully struggle on. After all, when danger threatens and we find ourselves under attack, we don’t give in, give up or hide – we bare our teeth, stand our ground and fight. Except on the first evening of their newfound freedom, some of the older chickens weren’t keen to return to the wonderful highrise and supercool house that Charlie had built. The little brown hens happily clucked their way in, but would the rest follow? Not a chance. Instead they decided to return to their old home, the oldest grey hens leading the way, and after all five ladies had entered, the cockerel followed and looked at me as if to say, “Shut the door, then – we’re all here.” What could I do? They were in their old house and the brown hens were in the new one. Everybody happy, everybody safely shut in. I even put another piece of chicken wire across the door to the hens’ old house for extra security, even though it had never been broken into since the day it arrived. The following morning, every single hen had gone from the old house, and not a feather to be seen anywhere. There’s only one explanation – the local vixen is feeding her cubs. She has studied hard, laboured long and finally won her prize. Very occasionally we have a year when we outwit her but mostly, when her babies need feeding she’ll find a way. May your cubs grow and prosper, Mrs Fox. But perhaps next year you might try them on a vegetarian option… 79
