FASHION GET THE

STRIPE

LOOK

TEASE

IT’S THE GRAPHIC TREND THAT KEEPS ON GIVING WHEN IT COMES TO LIMB LENGTHENING. IF YOU’RE NOT ALREADY SOLD ON STRIPES, IT’S TIME TO ADD ILLUSION-PROMPTING LINES TO YOUR FASHION ITINERARY. Claudia Winkleman took the peekaboo approach on the red carpet at the recent British Academy Television Awards. Her exact Self-Portrait dress has sold out, but you can get a similar sheer skirt vibe with this Self-Portrait Paisley Lace Midi Dress, £280 (matches fashion.com)

Self-Portrait Paisley Lace Midi Dress, £280 (matches fashion.com)

NOW Meet the trobe... It’s a clever towel-meets-robe hybrid c/o The Modesty Company that’s made for post-bathroom lounging. The new line of luxe towel wraps come in white, navy or lilac trim, £49.50 each, but you can get 15 per cent off all wraps until the end of May. Use code TMC31. The Modesty Company Classic Wrap, £49.50 (www. themodestycompany.com)

T

he SS17 catwalks practically turned into a barcode of stripyness, ranging from subtle PJ pinstripes to uberbold panels. With all those clean, straight lines, stripes are the minimalist’s way to do impactful prints. Classic monochrome is the starkest way to wear them, while multicoloured seaside stripes are the loudest – think of the brightest deckchair on a beautiful beach. Line up for this summer’s hottest stripes...

ZEBRA CROSSING If you’re fully committed to the linear look, go bold with uberwide vertical or horizontal stripes. There’s no softly-softly approach with supersized stripes but, as a rule, keep one of the contrasting colours in a neutral, like black, navy, cream or white, to avoid overkill. Black and white is everyone’s best friend but red and cream is this summer’s hottest colour combo. STRIPE STYLE TIP: Wear your silhouettes in extremes, such as wide-leg pants or a structured dress to give bold stripes a good canvas. TRY: 1. J by Jasper Conran at Debenhams stripe skirt, £70, out end of May (debenhams.com); 2. Finery Savona Stripe Dress, £149 (finerylondon.com); 3. Topshop Silk Satin Stripe Trousers by Boutique, £90 (topshop.com).

3 directions for a double illusion. STRIPE STYLE TIP: Bold, mixed prints are busy enough solo, so scale down your jewellery and accessorising to maximise your statement stripes. TRY: 4. Oliver Bonas Absorb Asymmetric Stripe Dress, £69.50 (oliverbonas. com); 5. V by Very Crew Neck Contrast Stripe Jumper, £10 (very.co.uk); Simply Be Beach to Beach Stripe Jumpsuit (right), £30 (simplybe. co.uk)

CLASH TACTICS If one stripe isn’t enough, do the double. This season stripes are pre-primed to clash, whether it’s different directions, mixed bands, or contrasting colours. Think of your body as a human barcode. Go clash crazy with one piece where the work has all been done for you, or try separates with different stripe

PYJAMA PARTY They were once the kind of stripes you snoozed in, but pyjama stripes are enjoying a moment outside

2 of the bedroom. If you’re feeling brave (or sleepy), go for a full Lanvin-inspired two-piece stripeathon with matching top and trousers. For a more subtle approach, pull on a nightshirt-style tunic with jeans, so there’s no mistaking your nightwear as daywear. STRIPE STYLE TIP: PJstyle stripe pieces are best served in sheeny fabrics, like silk. Look for seamless underwear to avoid any show-through. TRY: 6. Jigsaw stripe tunic, £119, available end of May (jigsaw-online. com); 7. Whistles Silk Stripe Tie Front Trouser, £249, and matching Stripe Cami, £159 (whistles.com)

SUNSCREEN

Stay protected this summer with the latest sunscreens for all occasions. Lisa Haynes shows you how to up your SPF game

S

that bit more thorough.

unscreen shouldn’t be just for heatwaves and holidays – over summer especially, you need to boost your sun protection factor (SPF) armoury. Luckily, the beauty world is making creams easier to apply (tick) and way more niche for your individual skincare needs (double tick). Yes, these sunscreens have broad-spectrum protection to guard the skin against UVA (ageing) and UBV (burning) rays, but the newest formulations are going that extra mile to make sun protection more bespoke. Meet the innovative new sun potions you need to know about this summer...

FOR BEACH BABES TRY: Vichy Ideal Soleil AntiSand SPF50, £18 (vichy.co.uk) No need to camp around the pool if you’re sand-averse with Vichy’s clever lotion. The lightweight formulation is easily absorbed with an ultra-dry finish that allows sand to be brushed off easily, so you can make sandcastles to your heart’s content.

FOR SKIN ZEN TRY: Eau Thermale Avene Cleanance Solaire SPF50+, £16 (Boots) When sunscreen and skincare combine... Step forward Avene’s forward-thinking lotion that actively fights blemishes. Cleanance Solaire contains an ingredient that inhibits the excess sebum common in acne-prone skin and protects existing blemishes from sun side effects.

FOR SKINCARE ADDICTS TRY: Clinique Anti-Wrinkle Face Cream SPF30, £18 (clinique.co.uk) Trust skincare giant Clinique to come up with a sunscreen that simultaneously protects and de-ages. Its new AntiWrinkle Face Cream SPF30 includes a blend of antioxidant and repair ingredients to help strengthen and rebuild your skin’s moisture barrier as you bask in the sun.

FOR TAN SEEKERS TRY: Ultrasun Body Tan Activator SPF30, £28 (marksandspencer.com) Boost your bronze with Ultrasun’s new Tan Activator range. You still get a high SPF hit but the natural tan enhancer (BronzylTM) activates your production of melanin and accelerates the tanning process by about 40 per cent in 10 days, so you can spend less time chasing a tan.

FOR SPEED DEMONS TRY: La Roche-Posay Anthelios Anti-Shine Invisible Fresh Mist SPF50, £14 (Boots)

FOR GLOW-GETTERS

Shiseido’s sweatproof tint. Enhance your sporty look with the highprotection BB cream that’s light, dewy and won’t rub off when you’re putting in a Wimbledon-worthy performance on the court.

Go hands-free with La Roche-Posay’s new anti-shine wonder. The super-fine, invisible mist gives you an even protection that’s easily absorbed, so there’s no need to rub in. Its patented molecule Airlicium leaves oilprone skin shine-free so you can spritz over or under make-up.

FOR SENSITIVE BITS TRY: Tropic Skincare Sun Balm SPF50, £16 (tropicskincare.com) Avoid lobster-red zones in awkward spots with Tropic Skincare’s transportable Sun Balm. The highprotection balm comes in solid form, so you can smooth over tricky areas like the nose, ears and feet to be

FOR SPORTY TYPES TRY: Shiseido WetForce Sports BB Cream SPF50, £32 (escentual.com) Outdoor workouts have never looked so chic, thanks to

9

TRY: Piz Buin Instant Glow Skin Illuminating Sun Lotion SPF30, £8 (boots.com) Sunscreen meets skin finishing with Piz Buin’s glowy new potion. Infused with lightreflecting particles, the non-greasy lotion instantly peps up skin with an oh-so subtle shimmer, so your walk to the pool is worthy of a red-carpet saunter.

FOR CITY SLICKERS TRY: Murad City Skin Age Defense Broad Spectrum SPF50, £45 (murad.co.uk) You don’t have to be beachbound to protect your face. Whether it’s city break or daily grind, Murad’s hightech mineral sunscreen ticks off protection against pollution, infrared radiation and blue light, as well as UVA and UVB rays.

SUMMER GUIDE

in association with

1-10 places to swim and splash STRATFORD PARK LEISURE CENTRE, STROUD: Whether you are brave enough to take a dip in the outdoor pool on a blazing sunny day or content to splash inside if the weather isn’t quite as kind, Stroud’s leisure centre gives you options. SANDFORD PARKS LIDO, CHELTENHAM: Cheltenham’s historic outdoor pool is a firm

favourite with families and sunbathers alike. The smaller kids’ pool is warm enough for even the coldest day and new this year is a special sauna.

COTSWOLD WATER PARK: Gloucestershire’s only beach might be some distance from the coast but it can boast clean, clear waters and 100 tons of fresh sand delivered this year. With paddle boarding and a huge inflatable obstacle course added this year it is a day out in itself. GL1: Whether you want to do lengths in the main pool or watch your little ones splash in the Tad Pool, with its slides and bubble seats, Gloucester’s main swimming pool has fun sessions throughout the holidays. TEWKESBURY LEISURE CENTRE: Brand new and ideal for families, this pool is a popular choice. Plenty of parking and huge changing

CIRENCESTER OUTDOOR POOL, CIRENCESTER: A true hidden gem, sat beneath the castle at Cecily Hill, this historic pool has had a makeover. When the sun is shining it is a great place to head to for safe swimming in a historic setting. BATHURST POOL, LYDNEY: Set just outside the town, Lydney’s outdoor pool is expecting another busy summer season. There’s plenty of space around the pool for a picnic and a spot of sunbathing and on a hot day it is the perfect place to cool off.

11

rooms are a bonus if you have more than one child with you. LEISURE AT CHELTENHAM: If the weather means you can’t run around Pittville Park, head to Cheltenham’s indoor pool for a splash around. CIRENCESTER LEISURE CENTRE: With a separate toddler pool and a large changing area this is one of the county’s newer pools and has plenty of family sessions throughout the holidays. WENCHFORD, FOREST OF DEAN: Too shallow for a proper swim, this popular picnic spot between Blakeney and Parkend has streams and pools for splashing and paddling in.

THE HOT BRASS BAND

rammy-nominated Hot 8 Brass Band bring the unique, undiluted energy of the New Orleans Second Line parades; ahard-hitting, heart-on-sleeve sentiment with party-fuelling beats, hooks and grooves. Mixing an old school street brass approach with funkier currents and hip hop vocals, Hot 8’s magnificent originals are juxtaposed with fresh versions of Snoop Dogg, Stevie Wonder, The Specials and Basement Jaxx. New Orleans’ Hot 8 Brass Band have been stirring up excitement ahead of the album and tour, lead single “Working Together”/“Keepin’ It Funky” (out 16th Dec) has been gaining support from Jamie Cullum (BBC R2), Garth Trinidad (KCRW) and Craig Charles (BBC R2/6Music). The latter tastemaker also stars in the “Keepin’ It Funky” video, which sees him leading the crowd of revellers in a raucous Hot 8 parade performance on London’s Clapham Common. Wherever they are, Hot 8 bring the unique, undiluted energy of the New Orleans Second Line parades.. Mixing an old school street brass approach with funkier currents and hip hop vocals, Hot 8’s magnificent originals are juxtaposed with fresh versions of Snoop Dogg, Stevie Wonder, The Specials and Basement Jaxx. The ‘On The Spot’ Tour is set to bring these essential cuts to an even wider audience, while cementing the next generation of Hot 8 classic tunes in the hearts and minds of fans. A recent mini-documentary, Hot 8

Brass Band: 20 Years In The Making, has also helped to tell the story of this indefatigable musical and cultural force at a pivotal point in their evolution. Hot 8’s incredible tale, which comes across in their life-affirming and powerful music, has also previously featured in Spike Lee’s two New Orleans documentaries, When The Levees Broke and The Creek Don’t Rise, and David Simon’s HBO series Treme (in which the band played themselves), to add to extensive features across the world’s media. One of the great New Orleans acts, Hot 8 have pushed on through a barely imaginable series of trials. The devastation of Hurricane Katrina, the separate deaths of five band members, and the horror of trumpeter Terrell “Burger” Batiste losing his legs, have tested these men almost to breaking point. They honour their lost friends and work towards the future of their community by putting their energies into positive projects at home as well as touring as much as possible. They march together and they play their music, not merely as though, but because their lives depend on it. Transcending genres and trends, Hot 8 have performed and collaborated with artists from Lauryn Hill to Mos Def to the Blind Boys of Alabama, and were nominated for a Grammy in 2013 for their second album ‘The Life and Times Of…’.

His knowledge and experience of west coast rap is sure to shine through in this special show and he will have the Guildhall crowd going wild. Gloucestershire has a strong interest in hip hop and I hope this show will help open the door to more hip-hop artists appearing at the venue” So if you want to get up close and personal with part of the most influential group in hip-hop history now is your chance! DJ Yella is an American DJ, music producer and director from Compton California. He is a founding member of rap group N.W.A, producing hits alongside Dr. Dre, Eazy E, Ice Cube & MC Ren.

.W.A’s DJ Yella to play Gloucester Guildhall with Eazy E’s son, Lil E On 20th July the rap star will be heading to Gloucester to perform his ‘Straight Outta Compton’ show packed with all the seminal hip-hop group’s biggest hits alongside a host of west coast rap tunes. A founding member of gangsta rap pioneers N.W.A, he’ll be joined by the son of his late N.W.A. bandmate Eazy-E AKA Lil E, who’ll be performing some of his dad’s greatest hits at the show. N.W.A is widely considered one of the greatest and most influential groups in the history of hip hop. Credited with developing a new style with honest and often controversial lyrics their debut double-platinum selling album ‘Straight Outta Compton’ brought gangster rap into the mainstream. The band’s career was recently immortalised in the multi award winning biopic film ‘Straight Outta Compton’ which charts the bands rise to fame through adversity. The band

Elmore Court, near Gloucester, had a Flower Moon party where guests got to stay over in the newly designed rooms and visit its new bridal pad the Coach House. It then held a Mayfair open event for people to take a tour of the house and its eco-ballroom the gillyflower. Pictured: 1. Rebecca Webb and Peter Iliffe with their children Darcy, 4 and Sienna, 2 2.

INTERVIEW

Life is brilliant - I am so lucky at 77”

LIFE IS SWEET FOR PRUE LEITH WHO WAS RECENTLY ANNOUNCED AS MARY BERRY’S REPLACEMENT IN THE NEW SERIES OF THE GREAT BRITISH BAKE OFF. SUE BRADLEY CAUGHT UP WITH HER

T

here is no question that it’s been quite a year for Prue Leith, CBE, even by her own extraordinary standards. Last autumn the 77-year-old made her last appearance on The Great British Menu after 11 years as a judge, saying it was “time for a change”. Now she’s bagged TV’s biggest cookery show of them all after being picked to be Mary Berry’s replacement on The Great British Bake Off following its move from the BBC to Channel 4. South African-born Prue, whose 50 years in the culinary industry has seen her working as a restaurateur, caterer, author and journalist, as well as a cookery school founder and television presenter, says she’s delighted to be joining the hit programme, on which she’ll appear alongside fellow judge Paul Hollywood and presenters Noel Fielding and Sandi Toksvig, although she adds, apologetically, that she can’t give away too much at present. “We’re not allowed to talk about Bake Off but you can guess I love the line-up: Noel and Sandi are just brilliant and Paul is just so good at it,” says Prue. “They’re so sweet to me and I am very excited. “I am pleased to be back in the cooking world.” While Bake Off is off limits for journalists, she is more than happy to talk about her recent marriage to retired clothing company director John Playfair, whom she met some time after the death of her husband Rayne Kruger in 2002. Prue and John had been together five years before travelling to Edinburgh – his home city - for a quiet wedding ceremony seven months ago. Their decision to make their relationship official came after the marriage of Prue’s adopted daughter, Li-Da, who was born in Cambodia. “My daughter got married twice – to the same guy,” she explains. “The first time was with a Buddhist ceremony and the second was an English full meringue, with a ceremony at the village church and reception at home. It was every mum’s dream. “After seeing my daughter get married, twice, John and I got married quietly, with just a couple of witnesses, followed by a big party at home.” Prue has previously referred to her new spouse,

Prue Leith and husband John

who is six and a half years her junior, as her ‘toyboy’, and it’s not unknown for her to join him on the back of his Harley Davidson, although he’s quick to explain it’s a trike rather than a two-wheeled affair. “My kids describe it as a motorbike with stabilisers,” he laughs. John and Prue’s relationship began after they met at a friend’s house and decided to take their dogs off for a walk. And while they’ve both kept their respective homes, just a few miles apart in the Cotswolds, they spend nearly all of their time together. “We’ll stay at my house and in the morning John makes me a cup of tea, feeds the dogs and takes

30

them for a walk and then disappears for the day,” she says. “He re-appears briefly at lunchtime, and I cook lunch for my secretary, housekeeper and John and the four of us sit down to eat together. “Then he goes back out again and I work on my writing. He gets a chainsaw and demolishes bits of my garden; he’s good at clearing the decks. In the evening we have dinner and he stays the night again.” Prue says the best things about this arrangement are not having to wash John’s clothes or provide a home for his ‘stuff’. “I get him without the labour,” she laughs. “Life is brilliant: I am so lucky. So many peo-


ple at 77 are a bit unhappy. They might be alone or don’t see enough of their children or whatever. John makes me happy and my son, Daniel, and his children come down at weekends and I see a lot of my daughter, who is in London. “I have still got a good job to do and a career, and my brain is still sort of with me!” Prue’s life has moved on a long way since the publication of her no-holds-barred auto-biography, Relish, in 2012, so much so that she’s had to update the latest edition to reflect all that’s been happening since then. She notched up 11 years on the Great British Menu, on which she appeared alongside Matthew

Fort and Oliver Peyton, before stepping down in 2016, describing the experience as “a huge pleasure”. Subsequently she paired up with acclaimed chef Michael Caines MBE to make Channel 4’s competitive series My Kitchen Rules UK, before being offered the Bake Off job. “I said I would do no more television and just write novels, but then I was talked into My Kitchen Rules and then they came and asked me if I would

31

do The Great British Bake Off, and I jumped at the chance,” she says. When she’s not working on television programmes, Prue writes novels from her home near Moreton-in-Marsh and has recently notched up her seventh, The Prodigal Daughter, which is the second in her The Food of Love trilogy. The book tells the story of a child of the Swinging Sixties, who goes on to have a career as a cook and food writer, and Prue admits that she’s drawn on her own life experiences for parts of the novel. “Her career is very much the same period as mine,” she says. “There are differences: she was the first woman in the Savoy kitchens while I never worked there but was always first somewhere. She went to a cookery school in France, while I was in France during that period, so it’s not exactly the same. “She has a lot of my characteristics and becomes a restaurateur, food writer and television cook: basically I am busy, and for this book I didn’t have to do any research because I knew it already. “I’ve been writing novels for 25 years now – my first was in 1993 – and this last one has been the most difficult as there are so many characters to keep in my head. I keep massive time line sheets for each of the characters and detailed notes of things like the colour of their eyes.” Prue has achieved a lot during a career stretching more than half a century, although over the past 25 years she says she’s primarily considered herself a writer above any of her other jobs. “John once asked me what I would like put on my tomb stone and I said I’d like it to say ‘writer’,” laughs Prue, whose other works include the best-selling Leith’s Cookery Bible. “In my food career before that I would probably have described myself as a caterer. “I think I get most satisfaction out of organising things. I think I am a good cook, but not outstanding. “Catering never has any rehearsals, you just do it. I like the stress.” Prue’s work as a novelist and cookery writer, and her stellar television career, have earned her a legion of fans, many of whom turned out for a book signing at Fillet & Bone in Chipping Campden recently. And while she was careful about what she said about her forthcoming TV appearances, there was no stopping her adoring fans from commenting on her new job. One told her that she missed Prue’s presence on The Great British Menu and would start watching The Great British Bake Off, even though she had never tuned in when it was on the BBC. “Oh great, I can tell the production company that there will be at least one new viewer,” Prue joked. When all is said and done, the woman at the book signing will be one of many people who will be switching over to Channel 4 to watch the new Great British Bake Off line-up in action. They’ll especially want to see if any of the old chemistry that existed between Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry will begin to fizz when the new leading lady makes her debut, although we’re now back to a subject on which Prue can’t possibly comment.

COLUMNIST

Jane Dyer THESE DAYS IT’S ALL MEME MEME MEME, SO THIS WEEK JANE CONSIDERS THE URGE TO HARNESS THE POWER OF A GRUMPY CAT

I

have been introduced to another phenomenon that surely could not have been experienced when I was younger. In my day…yes I really did use that phrase…we would leave an exam room with relief. We would perhaps pause for a few minutes to nervously prod our peers for any clues as to whether we had plucked the right answers out of our brains during the exam. Then we would consign the whole experience to the depths of our mind only to be retrieved later in our lives preceded by the phrase “in my day”. How things have changed. Witnessing the students’ response to GCSEs has revealed how very different today’s generation are in their response to tests. After each exam paper they appear to take to social media en masse to share their responses. And this year’s AQA board Biology paper included a question that will go down in history and which has become ….an internet meme. Apparently, the question involved a cartoon of Darwin with his head

scientist, humour has apparently evolved into giggles invoked by grumpy cats and smug babies. And then this week at The Gloucestershire Business Show I met Amanda Kirby of K Sharp, a Gloucestershire company that is busy researching internet memes with the aim of discovering their secret. Amanda says: “We’re working on harnessing the power of viral social media to benefit clients ranging from Gloucestershire Police to the MOD. The aim is to help our clients use social media to shape perceptions and change behaviours in their target audiences.” A nearby promotional poster expanded on this outlining the MOD’s plans to ‘exploit modern communications channels’ and ‘conduct tactical to strategic messaging campaigns’. K Sharp’s research involved look-

drawn on the body of a monkey. Students were asked to discuss the meaning of this image. Many Tweets ensued. “Why…was…Darwin…drawn… as…a…monkey?” said one student simply. Another added: “Didn’t know I was supposed to revise Darwin memes.” Yet another bemoaned the fact that she had revised everything but Victorian comics. Now if you like your intelligent titbits…here’s one. The word ‘meme’ these days occurs in the phrase ‘internet meme’ and refers to an idea – perhaps a video or joke – that spreads from person to person through social media platforms. But the word actually originated in the work of another famous evolutionist: Richard Dawkins, coined by him in his 1976 book The Selfish Gene. Perhaps I was wrong then. Perhaps things haven’t changed all that much through the generations. While the Victorians laughed uproariously at a comic hybrid of a ground-breaking

ing at 600 examples from social media and analysing them to understand the impact of cultural factors. Some of these factors included: humour, shock tactics and political affiliations. Amanda went on to explain that a meme in one country may not be a hit in another country since cultural references play such a big part. i.e. a joke in England may be offensive in Asia. My initial thought is that perhaps K Sharp should look no further than the nearest group of 17 year olds for help with their research. But on the other hand, I rather like the idea of a boardroom full of uniforms all brainstorming how to get their ‘strategic’ message across using a grumpy cat.

WE’RE WORKING ON HARNESSING THE POWER OF VIRAL SOCIAL MEDIA TO BENEFIT CLIENTS RANGING FROM GLOUCESTERSHIRE POLICE TO THE MOD.

HOLIDAY VIBE "If you don't have any outside space, transform your room into a romantic summer garden with a wooden chandelier, some plants and the gentle glow of candlelight," says Lucinda Waterhouse, OKA founder. Chandeliers made out of wood or beads create a relaxed holiday vibe and have a charm of their own, but don't be afraid to consider crystal. Cut glass catches the light (crystal casts a soft glow) and along with being a thing of beauty, it can brighten the darkest of rooms.

SPLASH OF COLOUR "Lighting is a great carrier for colour. During the summer months, inserting splashes of vibrancy and colour either in bases or shades is a great way to update your decor to complement the warmer weather," says Sophie Amini, designer at Pooky Lighting. "Using lighting is less risky than doing a whole wall or a set of curtains in one bright colour. It can enhance a room yet allow for flexibility, and does not have to be a huge expense. We have a beautiful range of table lamps in a range of materials, which are an affordable and simple way of adding colour and interest to your room without breaking the bank.

"Even when you switch them off, your lamp will still look beautiful." Indeed, investing in a funky shade, base or exotic palmshaped table lamp, and mix 'n' matching with cutting-edge pieces that can be moved around is far more fun (and less risky) than committing to a curtain call that looks the same 24/7.  1.

WARM GLOW “People tend to underestimate the use and importance of light during summer, as we have natural light for so much longer. Whether you’re looking to add new lighting indoors or outdoors, the right lighting can really enhance your experience,” says Chris Jordan, managing director at Christopher Wray. “Indoors, it’s great to go for fittings and shades that are lighter and airy, something that evokes warm weather and far-off destinations. “The Floriss, with its colourful, petalshaped folds, mimics the lush foliage outdoors, while the Planet’s fabric sphere is lined in the same way as leaves. The natural form and colour of these pendants create a softer light that works brilliantly in the twilight hours.” And if you really want to pull the plug on dated fluorescent lighting, refreshing citrus colours are all the rage at Amara. The luxury homeware brand suggests pairing its orange and lime accessories against a white backdrop, to allow the colours to create a bold focal point in the room.  Floriss Suspension Light, Lime Green, from £645 (halogen), Christopher Wray (www.christopherwray.com)  Planet, from £694 (50cm), Christopher Wray (www.christopherwray.com)  Kartell Ceiling Light, Orange, £187, Amara (www.amara.com)

EVER CHANGING MOODS When it comes to highlighting certain areas of the room, it's important to consider where the natural light is falling, especially when there's a bright blue sky outside. Whether it's a neutral background or moody paint effects, if you want to create a brighter, more open feel within the space, the colour of the walls and use of lighting is essential. "Introducing oversized lighting is a fantastic way to add drama and interest to a living space," says John Sims-Hilditch, co-founder of Neptune. "The atmosphere that's created from the light cast of a large pendant light can really alter the mood of a room. The material and colour of the drum is also an effective decorative accessory even when the light is switched off." Even choosing the correct light bulb for your pendant light is a

35

simple way of altering the feel of the room, suggests Sims-Hilditch. Ask yourself how you want this room to make you feel. "Light has the power to create a peaceful environment, where it can mimic natural pools of light, creating a serene ambience in your own home. Using a lower wattage allows for a more calming exposure, perfect for areas of the home that are intended to relax in.”  Corinium Lampstand Medium, £105, Oliver Lampshade, Warm White, from £16, furniture from a selection (top left), Neptune (www. neptune.com)  Keats Pendant, Small, £78, (top right) Neptune (www.neptune.com)  Grenadier Table Lamp, Saffron, £135, 40cm Pleated Phula Silk Empire Lampshade, £98, console table and mirror from a selection, Oka (all left – www.oka.com)

INTERVIEW

DAVID MICHOD DIRECTS WAR MACHINE, A SATIRICAL FILM INSPIRED BY A TOP US COMMANDER IN AFGHANISTAN, WHO WAS DISMISSED AFTER CRITICISING SENIOR OBAMA OFFICIALS IN A MAGAZINE ARTICLE. HE TALKS TO JEANANNE CRAIG

DAVID 05 FIVE MINUTES WITH

MICHOD

WHAT WAS BRAD PITT LIKE TO WORK WITH? I loved working with him. In our earliest conversations, we landed on a shared desire to do this thing as satire, to at least build the character he was going to play as satire. In part to embrace the absurdity of that world, but also, for me, to embrace what I think are Brad’s extraordinary skills as a comedic actor.

DID HE COME WITH AN EXTENSIVE LIST OF DEMANDS? No, Brad’s footprint is small. It’s quiet and it’s professional. You don’t have bugles trumpeting his arrival on set. Usually I’d only know Brad was on set because I’d look around and notice his make-up artist Jean Black.

YOU PREVIOUSLY WORKED WITH TWILIGHT’S ROBERT PATTINSON [IN MICHOD’S 2014 FILM THE ROVER]. HOW DID THAT EXPERIENCE COMPARE WITH THIS? There were a couple of paparazzi here or there with Brad. But the Robert Pattinson stuff is a whole other level, or at least it was back then; the Beatlemania stuff. Literally screaming girls chasing

just make a satirical movie about the experience of modern war. I wanted to find a way of making a movie that wasn’t just a little bit funny, or a little bit terrifying, but was totally absurd and totally terrifying at the same time.

his car down the street. I had never seen that before. I had dinner with Rob three or four days ago and things are different for him now, in a really beautiful way. He doesn’t have to contend with that madness. Because that madness just doesn’t make sense.

THESE EVENTS ALL OCCURRED BEFORE DONALD TRUMP CAME ON THE SCENE IN US POLITICS...

WAR MACHINE IS PARTSATIRE, PART-DRAMA. HOW DID YOU WORK OUT THE BALANCE?

You couldn’t write that, and yet I feel the antecedents for that stuff were being written well before the events of last November. It’s not like Donald Trump arrived and suddenly we realised the world was crazy; I think it’s been getting crazy for quite a while.

I had been looking for a way into one of these contemporary theatres of war for a long time and I’d always assumed if I found a way, it would probably sit within my regular wheelhouse - brooding and dark and menacing. But I was struggling to find a way in. I’d been doing so much research and was so profoundly fascinated by it all, the experiences of people, especially men, in those incredibly trying circumstances. When Jeremy Kleiner and Dede Gardner from Plan B [Pitt’s production company] brought me Michael Hastings’ book [The Operators, based on his Rolling Stone magazine profile on Stanley McChrystal] I suddenly saw a way in. It was to do it as satire, but I didn’t feel like it was enough to

HOW DO YOU THINK TRUMP’S PRESIDENCY WILL BE DEPICTED ON SCREEN A FEW YEARS FROM NOW? I think this particular administration, this president and his kind of loopy cheer squad will actually make for incredible drama and satire in years to come, but it will be in the future, it won’t be now. Seeing Alec Baldwin play Trump on Saturday Night Live was hilarious and then by the fifth time it was like, ‘I can’t even watch this anymore’.

37

THERE ARE SOME GREAT BRIT ACTORS CAST IN WAR MACHINE - SIR BEN KINGSLEY, TILDA SWINTON, WILL POULTER. WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THEM? That was partly because we were filming in London, but also because they’re really good. We had three incredible days with Sir Ben Kingsley. And not just incredible for me, I think for Brad too. Brad had never worked with Kingsley before and loved it.

YOU PREVIOUSLY WORKED AS A JOURNALIST ON INSIDE FILM MAGAZINE. WHAT WOULD YOUR YOUNGER SELF MAKE OF YOUR SUCCESS? The steps have been so incremental that it doesn’t feel to me like I shouldn’t be here. But if you took me from where I was, back when I was working on that magazine, and plonked me in this room right now, talking about this stuff, I would be saying to you quite openly, ‘I don’t belong here, I need to go now, I’m frightened and I need to leave!’

Under the hammer

T

here were a few pleasant surprises – and some delighted vendors – at Stroud Auction Rooms’ three-day May sale. The top lot was a pair of 19th-century Pinxton bough pots, which went under the hammer at £4,300 despite significant damage. Meanwhile a damaged Swansea pot pourri made £440, and a rare pair of Staffordshire rabbits realised £1,300, even though it was unclear how old they were. “Even damaged pieces or items that cannot be accurately dated can be worth a lot of money if they are rare enough,” said owner and auctioneer Nick Bowkett. “The rarer pieces of Beswick and Doulton also did very well.” Nick was delighted that a rare Moorcroft pottery vase decorated in the “Hazeldene” pattern realised £950 for the Sue Ryder charity. Stroud Auctions sells items free of charge for charities and an increasing number are using this opportunity to make good money for their causes. Beswick duck wall plaques – once a joke when they graced the home of Coronation Street’s Hilda Ogden – are now very much sought-after and a set of five went under the hammer for £220. Another blast from the past is decorative teaware, which continues to surprise with hand-decorated pieces from good factories such as Wedgwood, Minton and Aynsley selling extremely well. Even transfer-printed ware is popular if the pattern is in favour. A large collection of police badges, sold in several separate lots, scooped a record price of more than £15,000 in total, while a Smiths dashboard clock, together with other vintage pieces and an RAF car badge, sold for £600, against an estimate of £30 to £40. Another pleasing result came from mixed lots of ephemera from a house clearance, which achieved some amazing prices, including £750 for a 1913 Chinese passport with English script. The hard-working staff at Stroud Auction Rooms are thrilled that the number of bidders continues to increase. This month there were 1,307 registered bidders with 1,459 lots (total value £100,924) sold to the internet. “It makes all the hard work worthwhile when we consistently get excellent results like that,” said saleroom manager Stuart Maule.  Work has already started on putting together the June auction, which will be another three-day sale on Wednesday, June 14, 15 and 16, starting at 10am.  Viewing will be on Tuesday, June 13,

BOOKS

Shelf portraits ELEANOR OLIPHANT IS COMPLETELY FINE BY GAIL HONEYMAN is published in hardback by HarperCollins, priced £12.99 (ebook £7.99) There are some books whose narrator is so well written, so human and instantly engaging, that they have you right from the first line. Such is the case with Gail Honeyman’s Eleanor Oliphant. It’s unremarkable as first lines go (“When people ask me what I do – taxi drivers, hairdressers – I tell them I work in an office”), but it subtly poses questions and tees up the most refreshing and heartwarming debut I’ve read in some time. Eleanor has worked at the same boring job for eight years. She has the same routine: home to her council flat, The Archers and pasta with pesto and salad for tea. On a Friday evening, she buys a margherita pizza and two bottles of vodka to see her through the weekend: “Monday takes a long time to come round.” Eleanor, who’s 31, was in care through much of her childhood and has hazy flashbacks to a traumatic event. Her mum calls on Wednesday evening from prison, and there’s no love between them. When scruffy new office IT guy Raymond and Eleanor see an elderly man take a tumble, it draws the two of them together into a tentative friendship that will eventually help Eleanor break free from her lonely existence and learn how to live. Not only is she a joy to read as a character, brave, smart and funny, Eleanor will give readers some perspective on their own lives.

THE ICE BY LALINE PAULL is published in hardback by Fourth Estate, priced £12.99 (ebook £7.99) This is the second novel from the author of the much-praised The Bees. Set in the near future, the action alternates between Britain and Arctic Norway as “very modern buccaneer” Sean Cawson pursues commercial success in Europe’s far north, while haunted by the accidental (or was it?) death of his business partner, environmentally aware Tom Harding. Among the clues that this is set a few years from now are the introduction of a top barrister as a “KC”, not “QC”,

and the fact that most ice at the North Pole has melted, opening a trade route across the top of the world and raising the prospect of both the exploitation of natural resources and great-power territorial disputes (Putin’s Russia actually planted a flag on the Polar seabed in 2007). This could have been preachy in a green sort of way. It isn’t. The excitement of Cawson (and others) is given a fair hearing, and much of the action takes place in that underused source of drama, the British coroner’s court.

end. Timbuktu, in modern-day Mali, long a place of learning and culture, was considered sinful by its detractors, in this case the alQaeda-inspired conquerors who took control in 2012. Author and journalist Charlie English, from a long line of Britons fascinated by the stronghold on the edge of the Sahara, tells of the Monument Men-style efforts to preserve ancient manuscripts against invaders determined to erase history. The occupiers would later be ejected and while some Sufi shrines were damaged, the rescue operation saved many manuscripts. English interweaves tales of its more distant past, including that of 14th-century Mansa (King) Musa, associated with Timbuktu’s golden age, who was so generous with his gold to those less fortunate that the precious metal’s market value collapsed.

DAN ATKINSON

THESE DIVIDING WALLS BY FRAN COOPER is published in hardback by Hodder & Stoughton, priced £14.99 (ebook £6.99) Fran Cooper, who grew up in London but spent three years in Paris while writing her PhD, sets her first novel in an unfashionable quarter of the French capital during a hot summer when tensions are rising. The residents of an apartment complex barely know each other except to exchange a greeting when they pass in the courtyard, but their lives become intertwined as what goes on behind their closed front doors is slowly revealed. Edward, a young Brit looking to escape his past, arrives and meets a cast of characters, including Cesar, who is hiding secrets from his wife; Anais, who is crumbling under the pressure of caring for her young children; and Madame Marin, whose husband turns a blind eye to her nocturnal outings. Cooper avoids turning the less pleasant residents among them into lazy stereotypes, and her threedimensional characters are what make this novel so readable.

WAVE ME GOODBYE BY JACQUELINE WILSON is published in hardback by Doubleday Childrens, priced £12.99 (ebook £8.99) Over three days in September 1939, 1.5 million children were evacuated from cities to the countryside. Much venerated children’s author Jacqueline Wilson has turned to this period for her remarkable 106th book. It opens as 10-year-old Londoner Shirley is woken early by her mum and asked if she’d like to “go on a little holiday”. It soon becomes clear she’s going by herself. At Victoria station, she’s rushed onto a train with a group of schoolgirls from a convent school and makes firm friends with the bespectacled Jessica. But once they arrive at Meadow Ridge, they’re separated and Shirley has the ignominy of being passed over for her schoolmates by the mums who have offered to take in evacuees. Eventually she’s billeted with the two remaining boys. Wilson has an incredible ability to inhabit her child characters so precisely and Wave Me Goodbye will be like Nina Bawden’s Carrie’s War for a new generation of children learning about our country’s past.

PAUL HOLLYWOOD IS SWAPPING THE BAKE OFF TENT FOR THE OPEN ROADS OF EUROPE IN HIS NEW SERIES, HE TELLS SUSAN GRIFFIN

H

e might be known for his bread and buns but away from the oven, Paul Hollywood’s a petrol head and loves nothing more than racing cars. “Baking is my career, it’s what I am. The whole presenter thing is an accident. I’m a baker by trade but my hobby was always cars,” says The Great British Bake Off judge. He’s been passionate about motors “for as long as I can remember”. “My dad used to have several cars growing up – nothing particularly special, but I just loved cars,” declares Paul, who shared his enthusiasm for motors on BBC programmes Racing Legends and Licence To Thrill: Paul Hollywood Meets Aston Martin in 2015. The same year he represented the racing team Beechdean Aston Mar-

tin in the British GT Championship. “When I was about 13, I fell in love with the TR7. Don’t ask me why, I just did. It was this chocolate one with chequered seats in a garage down the road from where we grew up in the Wirral,” he recalls in his familiar Liverpool twang. “I used to go and watch this car every night and go and look at it because I just loved it.” No wonder he describes his latest show, Paul Hollywood’s Big Continental Road Trip, as “a dream job for me”. In the three-part series, Paul travels to Germany, France and Italy, endeavouring to understand more about each country through its love of cars. “It didn’t feel like work,” he says. “The travel was just amazing we went to some really beautiful places.

WHEN I WAS ABOUT 13, I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE TR7. DON’T ASK ME WHY, I JUST DID. IT WAS THIS CHOCOLATE ONE WITH CHEQUERED SEATS IN A GARAGE DOWN THE ROAD FROM WHERE WE GREW UP IN THE WIRRAL

I thought, ‘This is magic, it really is magic’.” One of the most memorable experiences was driving around Italy in a Lamborghini alongside Strictly Come Dancing’s Bruno Tonioli. “We nearly got arrested for speeding around Rome. He was petrified, bless him,” recalls Paul, who was particularly taken with Ivrea. “It’s where we had the orange fight. It was mental, it really was crazy. Most of my clothes I had to chuck because they stink of orange. I smelt like a crepe Suzette,” he says, recalling his participation in the town’s annual Battle of the Oranges. “The people are just so passionate about what they do, which is the point we were trying to make. Even though they’re just throwing oranges, it means something.”


In Germany, he stopped off to serve up some spicy food from the back of a VW van to some nudists. “This is a country which is very formal. We think of them as very straight, no sense of humour, and yet this country started the whole nudist movement. “We were in the Kombi van, just going there and spending a couple of hours with these people. They were very funny, absolutely hilarious. I didn’t know where to look. Never, ever take your eye off their eyeball. Just keep your head in one place and look at them in the eye.” Was he tempted to strip off? “When they told me, I went, ‘No, no, no. I’m not getting my kit off, it’s not going to happen’.” Not even for his fans? “They’d be disappointed if I did that!” he laughs. Paul believes the show stands apart from others in the genre because “we’re trying to find out about the places as well as the people”. “The cars were almost the transport to take me to the people, to learn about why Italians like supercars and hypercars,” he explains. “The Germans – why do we think of them as quite stiff upper-lipped and all about the engineering, and things must last and [demonstrate] reliability? And why are the French very much socialist still? They don’t like bling, they don’t like sporty cars. They’d rather have a great case of wine than a fantastic car sitting on the drive. “You can find out a lot about the place and the people by the cars they drive – and how they drive.” The series arrives after Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond’s The Grand Tour debut on Amazon and a second series of the revamped Top Gear, with Matt Le Blanc promoted to hosting duties following the departure of Chris Evans. Paul insists he’s not disappointed he wasn’t part of the new Top Gear line-up. “This programme was already in the making so it was difficult for me to get involved anyway. So, no, that was never a choice. “I would rather do something different anyway, so I was happy carrying on with the Continental Road Trip.” Besides, he’s keeping busy with The Great British Bake Off, having decided to move with the programme to Channel 4, despite former BBC colleagues Mary Berry, Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc standing down. He claims he was unaware of the furore that ensued. “I’ve been told by the press that it happened, so it must be true,” says Paul, who’s still in touch with his

‘It was the best filming I’ve ever done’

former judging partner Mary Berry. “Why wouldn’t I be? There’s no reason for it [their friendship] to stop.” He’s earned a reputation for being tough in the Bake Off tent, but that’s something he attributes to the programme-makers. “It’s called editing,” he laughs. “I’m very easy-going, quite chilled. But at the end of the day if something’s wrong then I have to point it out because that’s my job. But tough, really? I judge muffins. How the hell is that tough?” And in Continental Road Trip, he believes “people see the real me”. “The laughing, the crying with laughter on many occasions, which I just don’t do on other shows. “I felt more relaxed doing it. It was the best filming I’ve ever done. It’s such a giggle.”

‘We should expect to see wildlife wherever we are’ SPRINGWATCH IS SET TO BEGIN ANOTHER SERIES AND IT’S COMING FROM THE COTSWOLDS

W

hether it’s a photo of blue tits nesting in the garden or squirrels somersaulting through treetops, Springwatch fans avidly post their observations on social media. But when it comes to audience interaction, the presenters’ most frequently asked question has nothing to do with wildlife. “It’s usually about what we’re wearing,” sighs Michaela Strachan, who today is sporting a T-shirt with a rather cute illustration of a badger. Such is the camaraderie and comedy of Springwatch, which is back on our screens for a new three-week wildlife watching bonanza (peppered with entertaining banter) from Monday, May 29. Described by the BBC as a radical change, the team has swapped pristine nature reserves for a working countryside estate, with a new home at National Trust property Sherborne Estate in the Cotswolds. Built as a grandstand in the 17th century, the area is now used for farmland and tourism. By choosing a location accessible to the public, series producers hope to connect viewers with

glia with an overgrazed mono-culture,” scoffs Chris. Michaela hints that the typically over-critical Springwatch film crew are already getting uncharacteristically over-excited about what’s in store for the next few weeks. Nest boxes have been erected around the site, with the hope remote cameras will deliver live footage of barn owl chicks. But there’s one avian species that roving reporter Martin Hughes-Games is desperate to encounter. “For the last three years, I’ve tried to see lesser spotted woodpeckers, which I now think are made up,” he admits with frustration. “It’s a woodpecker the size of a sparrow... apparently.” Chris, of course, has seen several in his time and assures Martin luck may be on his side this season. While he and Michaela hold fort at Sherborne, Martin will be travelling up and down the UK, filming pine martens and beavers in Scotland, meeting reintroduced red squirrels in the Scilly Isles, and tagging jellyfish. The former producer, who is now part of the Springwatch furniture, has been overwhelmed by his growing fan base. Last year, when rumours

common animals from childhood books such as The Wind In The Willows and the Beatrix Potter titles, and for the first time, the team will also have a base for a full year, enabling them to chart the adaptations of wildlife to different seasons. “One of the problems that blights us right now is that we partition our expectations,” explains Chris, who’s been with the programme since 2009. “If we want to see art, we go to an art gallery; if we want to see history we go to a stately house museum. “We’ve got ourselves into a state of mind where if we want to see nature, we go to a nature reserve, and that depresses me because we should have an expectation to see wildlife wherever we are.” One of the team’s major aims is to give viewers a reality check on the health of the UK’s countryside, and look at how it can be managed in a sustainable way. “Unfortunately, a lot of people look outside, see it’s green and think it’s OK. But I’m afraid it isn’t,” says Chris. Fortunately, Sherborne has plenty of good bits... “We wouldn’t go to some agricultural desert in East An-

hinted he might be dropped from the show, a furious Twitter petition was launched to keep him on screen. The team’s relative newbie Gillian Burke has also been out and about on location creating animal diaries, and says filming emperor moths on Dartmoor was a reminder she has one of the best jobs in the world. “I got completely absorbed,” she gushes, recalling the recording of the UK’s only silk moth in breeding season. “Hang on Gilly,” says Chris, interrupting her momentary idyll. “You were working with our best crew, the moths turned up and did their thing and it didn’t rain. You’ve just got lucky so far!” The quick-witted 56-year-old presenter is known for his on-screen game playing, going off on a tangent and inserting song lyrics into conversations. “I thought I might do it again this year,” he muses. “The problem is my interest in music is relatively narrow in its scope, so there are lots of bands which I could do but no one else would know.”
