Welcome

to the September issue of Cornwall Living

s the nights begin to draw in and we embrace autumn, the Cornish landscape changes in colour from the summer brights of yellow, blue and pink to the more gentle hues of russet and brown. The change in season brings with it hearty autumn produce that we are celebrating in our cover feature from page 32. We have tracked down some of Cornwall’s top chefs to give us the lowdown on the seasonal dishes that will be gracing their menus over the coming months and how to make the best of all the wonderful autumn fayre that is on offer across the Duchy.

We have also been looking at some of the amazing property that is on the market at the moment. If you are looking to buy, from page 38 we discover homes of distinction that need to be seen to be believed. Looking at renovating or redecorating your existing home… or indeed building your own? Then a visit to the Cornwall Home Improvement and Self Build Show this ctober is a must urn to page for our special supplement where you’ll find e hibitor previews and a seminar schedule, as well as details on how to register for free entry.

We were also lucky enough to catch up with Jason Foreman from Kinetique Jewellery (page 116) to discover the story behind the IQ Diamond, an incredible, ethical gemstone. With so much content this month I would suggest popping the kettle on, putting your feet up and enjoying what has been a great issue to put together… happy reading!

Maximise your cottage’s out-ofseason potential

If you own a holiday cottage in the Duchy, y Favourite ottages recommends accepting dogs, to attract those holidaying out of season with their pets.

To do this, consider how many dogs your cottage will welcome – assess the size of your property and how easy it will be to clean on changeover day. To aid in cleaning, providing extra towels and throws and pre-covering furniture will save on cleaning time when your guests leave. Another nice touch is to include doggie welcome packs, with poo bags and doggy treats.

Introducing the latest Scandinavian trends with The Cotton Mills As the interiors industry steers away from the monochromatic Scandinavian style, colours are making a comeback. Rather than leaping from one trend to the next, the team at The Cotton Mills in Truro understand how to incorporate the cool Scandi tones we’ve become accustomed to, with the new bolder palette. Sanderson’s new ‘Port Isaac’ range of fabrics and wallpapers seem to embrace this transition; featuring a collection of driftwood and clay hues with pops of coral, lichen and marine.

Its coastal colours act as a subtle uplift to the Scandinavian inspired look.

Limit the space where dogs are allowed in the home for instance on the ground oor only) and provide safe outdoor space for dogs to play. Providing a list of local places where pets are welcome, with suggestions of good walks from the front door, can also help make your guests’ stay memorable.

The Cotton Mills’ experienced team are here to give advice on finding the perfect style to match your individuality and that of your property, offering a complete measure and fit service For a free consultation to e plore new trends, why not pop into the store on Pydar street or visit them at this year’s Truro Interiors Market on the Piazza, Truro, on Friday th to unday th eptember

Introducing Davidsons IFA: making your money work harder Since opening in Devon in 2001, Davidsons IFA has striven to provide honest, straightforward independent financial advice covering investments, pensions, life assurance and mortgages, but without the sales spin.

On what sets the company apart from other financial advisers ssociate Director, Richard Sykes explains: “The structure of the business has always been very different to other financial advisers Where many other financial advisers work on a self-employed basis, here at Davidsons IFA we are employed with a basic salary and incentivised on regular reviews/meetings with clients, not just on new money being invested, which helps us build on our client relationships.”

In addition, Richard and the team have always been clear and transparent on their fee options from the outset. “How we invest money for our clients has always been forward thinking. We don’t always believe in following the market’s view on

a standardised approach in investing for clients. Therefore, we’ve always built investment portfolios by picking a broad range of diversified investment funds for clients with successful results. Leading on from this we are now in the process of setting up our Discretionary Managed ervice to offer greater e ciency and choice at some of the lowest fees in the industry.” Impressive!

Having recently opened a branch in Wadebridge, we ask Richard how Davidsons IFA can help clients make the most of their lifestyle in Cornwall. He tells us: “We don’t believe in product pushing and therefore we react to the clients’ needs and financial objectives when they arise. By providing good advice and strong returns for their portfolios, this feeds into the lifestyle Cornwall offers and, ultimately, means greater opportunities for the clients.”

Satisfy that sea air appetite

at the Scarlet Restaurant With the fine weather we’ve been steadily experiencing this summer, there hasn’t been a better time to enjoy a spot of al-fresco dining on the Scarlet Restaurant’s sea-view balcony.

Introducing live-in

companionship care to Cornwall

Have you ever wondered how you or a loved one can maintain independence at home as you require more support, or how to recover from an operation or illness in the comfort of your home without worrying family or friends? Live-in Companionship Care is a lifestyle choice for many who love their independence and active retirement, and who welcome friendly companionship at home to help with those little chores and give support and company for activities or excursions.

Bluebird Care is the only local care provider in Cornwall to offer fully trained and supervised live-in care professionals, who provide discrete companionship at home, supporting your independence and bringing peace of mind for your much-loved friends and family.

Companions have their own bedroom accommodation in your home and allow you space to live separate lives, but are always close to hand to call upon when required.

For more information call 01872 276006 or email midcornwall@bluebirdcare.co.uk

The Scarlet Restaurant gazes out over Mawgan Porth beach to the sea beyond and the team’s philosophy is deeply rooted in serving fresh, locally sourced food. Indeed, they pride themselves on working with the most amazing suppliers that Cornwall has to offer from local farmers and fishermen to sustainable, organic growers.

As a guest, you’re well cared for as an individual, so whatever your dietary requirements, just let the team know and they’ll do everything to ensure you have the

most options to choose from. This philosophy also means that vegetarians are extremely well catered for!

So if you’re looking to enjoy foodie Cornwall beneath the late summer sun, why not pay a visit to the Scarlet Restaurant?

Protect your property this winter with Colourfence While this summer has been one of the hottest in decades, the harsh winter gone is di cult to push to the back of our minds; a winter that proved too harsh for hundreds of fences across the Duchy that gave in to the gales that battered our beautiful county.

Our fences are crucial; they mark our boundaries, protect our privacy and provide security, and yet, with the gust of one gale, many in Cornwall would be, quite literally, gone with the wind, leaving us wishing we’d invested in a more sturdy solution. This is where Colourfence comes in.

Guaranteed for 25 years (in wind gusts up to 130 miles per hour!), Colourfence

is made of an innovative steel product with outstanding anti-corrosive properties, making it a fence that’s built to last. It’s no wonder it’s enjoyed a huge surge in popularity across the UK! For more information call 01840 537547 or visit www.colourfencecornwall.co.uk

Tap into the luxury market with Retallack Kitchens

Retallack Kitchens are always looking forward to the next innovation in the kitchen industry. Company founders David and Jo Retallack tells us that, often, very basic things become overlooked.

Indeed, in recent years, the biggest innovation has been the birth of the kettle tap, which Jo has in her own kitchen. She tells us: “I don’t know how I’d live without it!”

Having said that, Jo continues: “Many manufacturers have forgotten all about design, which Perrin & Rowe, one of our suppliers has rectified with taps that suit both modern and traditional style kitchens vailable finishes include the bang-up-to-trend copper, along with a very classy pewter which doesn’t show finger marks hey also produce matching handles, which helps draw the whole kitchen design together.”

Perrin & Rowe’s name has long been linked with quality, high-end taps with a price tag to match, but now, this muchcoveted company produces a competitively priced tap with that same build uality his o believes fills a gap in the market. “Yes, you can buy a tap for £50, but the constant dripping will drive you mad!”

Perrin & Rowe also produce fabulous ceramic sinks. Again, these are very much high-end, but their manufacturing process means that the quality is second to none, making the chance of chipping your stunning new sink extremely low. hese products are a prime e ample of the old adage ‘you get what you pay for’, but don’t just take our word for it; why not pop along to the Retallack Kitchens showroom in Lostwithiel and see for yourself?

For more information call 01208 873283 or visit www.davidretallackkitchens.co.uk

The personal touch

When choosing curtains for your home there is no substitute for seeing, touching and feeling, and that’s why you should visit the Merchants and Makers showroom on the outskirts of Launceston. Here lies your opportunity to get up close and personal with the fabrics; visualise the different finishes and design options and find out how they can work perfectly for you.

Nothing beats the personal touch, and the team are e perts in their field with a wealth of knowledge to share with you. So, take advantage of the vast range of fabrics and accessories available; talk to the people who will be making your curtains in the workshop and experience the personal service that can never be achieved through a computer screen.

Jane agrees, “I decided on our yearly trip to Perranporth that it was now or never. he distance from work and daily life helped us open up about his drinking, so we chose a treatment centre in rural Devon. I’ll always associate the south west with our lives truly beginning.”

Discovered in Italy, delivered to your door What do you get when you mix Cornwall with Italian wine? According to Jackson & Seddon, you get the best of both worlds! This fantastic, Cornwall-based wine club sources the finest artisan talian organic wine that you won’t find anywhere else in the UK. The seeds of Jackson & Seddon were sown when Rob Seddon, the creator and Director of the business, took a chance on a new life and moved to Italy, appearing on BBC2’s Second Chance Summer: Tuscany. While working in the vineyards and completing the harvest there, he formed close relationships with local producers and discovered wines that he describes as the best-kept secret in Italy.

To celebrate the start of the upcoming Italian harvest season, Rob and the team are giving away a bottle of organic extra virgin olive oil when you subscribe to the wine club, so what are you waiting for?

RIGHT Tuck into autumnal flavours at Greens of Padstow LEFT, BELOW Just a preview of what you can expect at the Bedruthan Hotel

Once again it’s that time of year to enjoy the warmth of the woodburner, getting all snug and cosy as the nights draw in.

But while we leave the longer days behind us for the year, there’s no need to resist the change of season – instead, positively embrace it! After all, it’s an opportunity to indulge in some hearty, warming food, stuff that’s great for both body and soul.

This month, as well as providing tips on seasonal culinary delights from some of Cornwall’s top chefs, we share a few highlights from some fantastic upcoming foodie festivals.

Bryok Williams, Head Chef at The Square at Porthleven, explains what he loves most about the changing season. “As the weather cools,” enthuses Bryok, “my mind turns from the crisp, bright summer ingredients to think about earthy avours slow roasts and the deeper colours of autumn... Braised lentils, roast squash and caramelised apples to go with a lovely piece of pork, crackled to perfection!”

If that thought gets you salivating, turn to page 28 to discover more about The Square at Porthleven.

Andrew Snell, Head Chef at Greens of Padstow, agrees that this is a time of year to champion from a culinary perspective.

“Autumn for me is a great season!” says Andrew. “At the start, you can still get some of the great summer produce like

the local Cornish salad veg. Then closer to winter the hearty root vegetables arrive, ready for some more warming dishes. This season is great for local fish too with the water still warm enough to keep a lot of species around. We will be using hake on the menu throughout autumn.”

Andrew continues: “I love to go out blackberry picking with my family around the Cornish hedgerows, collecting the freshest berries. The best thing to do with them is a classic apple and blackberry crumble, served with clotted cream, and this will be arriving on our menu soon.”

Sound tempting? Turn to page 15 to discover more about Greens of Padstow.

Tom Hunter, Head Chef at the Bedruthan Hotel, tells us: “We chefs love autumn! We see the beginning of the game season and root vegetables and mushrooms become readily available. What I also love about the beginning of autumn is that we have this great little micro-season where some of the summer vegetables like peas and runner beans are available at the same time as roots, squashes and pumpkins. This allows us to create dishes with ingredients that are only available at the same time for such a short period.”

If this plethora of produce has inspired you to get tasting, head to one of these Cornish foodie festivals where you can sample some delicious seasonal produce yourselves...

David Griffen

With autumn upon us, we celebrate the fabulous produce coming into season with tips from the chefs, alongside some upcoming foodie festivals.

COVER FEATURE | The Budelicious Food Festival (22nd and 23rd September)

BELOW Tuck into something delicious at the Falcon Hotel RIGHT The Falcon Hotel is the perfect headquarters for Bude’s new foodie festival

This wonderful foodie festival is supported by the Falcon Hotel, and led by celebrity chef Peter Gorton. Peter tells us what we can expect: “A weekend celebrating everything that is great about food in Bude and its surrounding areas, showcasing local chef demonstrations, talks from artisan producers and a chance to buy their wonderful produce.”

And what a wonderful range of Cornish produce there is! The festival will shine a light on some stunning seasonal produce, including wild mushrooms, sweetcorn, tomatoes, blackberries, elderberries, plums, greengages, chestnuts, and damsons. Of course, it’s not just vegetables to enjoy. Also coming into season around September are hare, mallard, partridge, rabbit, eel, mussels and oysters native.

Beer tents courtesy of St Austell Brewery will be on hand to keep everyone refreshed, while the range of artisan producers includes (at time of writing) Sue Proudfoot, Cornish Crumbly, Charcutier from Norton Barton, Cornish County Cordials, The Kernow Sausage Company, and Whalesborough Cheese among the many other delights.

The organisers are doing their bit to promote environmental issues this year, as they explain: “We want everyone to learn about Greener Bude, Cleaner Seas and what a great job they are doing.” What’s more, the festival is not just for the grownups, with a range of great activities laid on

for families with younger children. They can have a go at decorating chefs’ hats, for example, and learn about different fruits and vegetables finding out why they are good for you.

All producers, owners and chefs across Bude are encouraged to get involved with related events over the ‘Foodie Fortnight’, running between 15th and 29th September, at their venues. Details of all events can be found on the o cial website o if you’re looking for your foodie fi this autumn there’s no better time to visit Bude! www.budelicious.org

RURAL CORNWALL We discover the heart-warming beauty of some of Cornwall’s most rural countryside properties.

W

RIGHT The contemporary kitchen at Leat Barn BELOW Leat Barn's courtyard is perfect for summer barbeques

ith such an extensive coastline, Cornwall is often thought of as a county of traditional harbourside settlements and clifftop homes overlooking the water.

However, owing to its low population density, the interior of the county is largely rural, with a landscape of farmland and ancient woods, dotted with peaceful villages and hamlets.

We explore three properties currently on the market with Savills, which offer an escape to this idyllic rural lifestyle in the green centre of Cornwall.

First of all we have The Barn at Leat Farm, a spacious, contemporary conversion of a traditional barn, set in a beautiful rural location near the village of Yeolmbridge, to the north west of Launceston. The Barn has six bedrooms in total, three in the main house and three in the annexe wing, along with two reception rooms – including a 26ft sitting room with a vaulted ceiling, an AGA in the kitchen, and a gym/hobby room. An eastfacing balcony overlooks the gardens at the front, while a west-facing balcony overlooks the courtyards and catches the soft glow of the evening sun. (Guide £850,000).

RETIRE TO

the city W Cosmopolitan retirement living in Truro, Cornwall’s cathedral city.

ABOVE Enjoy lazy afternoons in the sunny garden RIGHT Make the most of your golden years in Truro

hether you enjoy messing about on the river, sampling the best of Cornish produce or simply relaxing and taking in breath taking coastal views then we have found the ideal retirement location. Truro, with its narrow cobbled streets, grand Georgian architecture and charming coastal lifestyle draws an increasing number of visitors every year but it is also tempting many more retirees to settle there permanently.

Located on St Clement’s Hill in the heart of the city, Churchill Retirement Living’s latest development, Tregolls Lodge, is a collection of 58 one and two bedroom apartments exclusively for those aged 60 and over. Many apartments feature balconies with views of the striking Truro Cathedral that dominates the city skyline.

All apartments are completely selfcontained with their own front door, providing you with privacy and peace and quiet when you want it. There is a choice of one and two bedroom apartments that both have spacious rooms throughout and an ideal combination of design and functionality. he fully fitted stylish kitchens include a built in fridge and freezer, hob, an oven, which is located at an easy-reach height, and a washing machine. Tiled shower rooms come as standard, while some have separate en-suites and cloakrooms as well. Master bedrooms have fitted mirror front wardrobes as well as television and telephone points and

all of the properties benefit from illuminated light switches for added convenience – even the smallest details are taken care of with everything designed for ease of use.

Retirement should be all about making life easier so there is plenty of time to relax and enjoy living. The development is looked after by Millstream Management Services, a specialist property management company so that everything from fire and security monitoring and building insurance to window cleaning are all taken care of.

The beautifully landscaped gardens and communal areas at Tregolls Lodge are looked after by a Lodge Manager giving you peace of mind that they are being maintained by the experts and are always looking their best.

With less to worry about, owners have more time to do the things they enjoy, including taking advantage of the host of other benefits that are on offer including having family or friends to stay in the development’s wellappointed guest suite, enjoying a chat with neighbours, or attending one of the many events in the Owners’ Lounge.

For many, moving house to somewhere new can be very daunting and unfamiliar, particularly when you’re in your 80s; but for Peter Fazakerley his move to Tregolls Lodge in Truro took him back down memory lane, to somewhere rather more familiar.

Peter has put his stamp on many areas of Cornwall, during his illustrious career as a quantity surveyor for Cornwall Council, but

Tregolls Lodge on St Clement’s Hill has quite a connection. Peter explains: “For many years I was the chief quantity surveyor for Cornwall Council, and was involved in many special projects throughout the county. In fact, I was involved with the build of the original police station on St Clement’s Hill where Tregolls Lodge now stands. It seems like fate that has brought me here now. regolls odge was the first retirement complex I viewed and I was really pleased with the facilities at the Lodge, and the lifestyle on offer. It’s so close to all the local amenities, and it’s easy for me to just walk to the shops – something I was never able to do before.”

Truro has an excellent selection of high street retailers, independent boutiques and a lively café culture all within easy walking distance of Tregolls Lodge. A short drive will take you to the stunning Roseland peninsula, one of the most picturesque and unspoilt parts of the country where you can discover secluded bays, magical creeks and enjoy a quieter pace of life.

So if you are looking for a retirement property that will leave you time to live the Cornish lifestyle to the full then Tregolls Lodge could be for you.

or many of us, our kitchen is the heart of the home, it’s where our families congregate at the beginning and end of the day, where numerous cups of tea are made and stories told and often, it’s the deal-breaker when buying a property.

Creating a bespoke and beautiful kitchen is a dream for many of us, and Arnold’s Kitchens has the skill and craftsmanship to make that dream a reality.

Run by husband and wife team Leigh and Arnold Van Den Dolder, Arnold’s Kitchens is the brainchild of these two incredibly creative individuals. Having met at university when Leigh was studying textiles and printing and Arnold was studying cabinet making, the pair combined their creative talents to design and make bespoke, handcrafted kitchens. Leigh tells us: “Kitchens seem to be the room of a house that’s most important to people and can often end up being the biggest project, we absolutely love the challenge of balancing functionality and style as well as our clients' particular specifications and re uirements Arnold’s Kitchens is one of only three UK companies that cast worktops exclusively in-situ, creating seamless worktops, as well as concrete shelves, cupboards and sinks, resulting in a highly polished finish and an industrial effect that achieves a bold look when paired with reclaimed lighting and utilitarian copper or brass tap fittings However, Leigh tells us: “The industrial look is still extremely popular but we’re now seeing a return to natural textures and refined raw materials he two styles totally complement each other, with the warm wooden tones playing against the cool concrete rnold’s itchens really is a keystone in kitchen design; the company stands out for its innovative approach and creativity, and here at Cornwall Living we absolutely love the rustic effect and imaginative use of concrete, as well as Leigh’s expert skill with marrying different textures and patterns.

| HOME A creativity that is perhaps enhanced and cultivated through their base here in Cornwall, a rugged and wild landscape that has inspired countless generations of artists which is definitely how we perceive these two makers and shapers – their kitchens are nothing short of art installations and their life here in ornwall massively in uences and promotes their creativity. Arnold tells us: “We’re very outdoorsy people, with lots of interests such as surfing spearfishing and cold water swimming and this has made us into seriously hands-on creative types, we’re not afraid to get really stuck into a project, just like we’re not afraid of what lurks beneath the cool Cornish waters. We embrace and relish a challenge and love bringing our adventurous side into our designs s a re ection of their fearless approach to exploring Cornwall’s coastline, Arnold and Leigh aren’t afraid to push the boundaries with design and have conse uently created some truly stunning kitchens from here all the way to London.

The company are also intrinsically aware of their impact on the environment and will choose reclaimed timber and locally sourced materials in favour of other less sustainable products thereby creating uni ue and individual designs that stand out whilst also reducing their environmental impact. Arnold continues: “We love experimenting with various raw materials to achieve something different and that’s what lies at the heart of what Arnold’s Kitchens is all about – experimenting, creating and designing kitchens that are incredibly uni ue and outstandingly beautiful.

A SHARED VISION Carpenter Oak Cornwall have been designing and raising timber frames across the region since 2014.

A

s well as an extensive portfolio of domestic new builds, extensions and remodelling projects, the team at Carpenter Oak have also completed numerous commercial and public buildings, including Rick Stein’s Cornish Arms and the new gallery at Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens.

Their most recent commercial build has seen the completion of a new reception and shop space at Polmanter Touring Park near St Ives, just three miles down the road from the workshops.

Polmanter has been a family run business for 50 years, and pride themselves on continually re-investing to develop the park using local companies.

Becki Osbourne, from Polmanter, tells us: arpenter ak ornwall were a great fit alongside Symons Construction, who we’d worked with previously on our Indoor Soft Play development. The project has enabled us to bring the reception area up to the five star standard of the rest of the site. Many of our returning guests have been speechless when they see the new reception space for the first time, and I think that the oak frame and the oak beam lighting feature over the reception desk are a huge part of that ‘wow’ factor, so we’re absolutely delighted with how the project has worked out.”

The new oak-framed build has improved the experience for guests by linking the shop and reception - enabling the park to open the shop for more days and hours throughout the camping season, as well as allowing for the development of two new luxury self-catered apartments in addition to the touring pitches.

These will be open all year-round, each with room for four people.

Carpenter Oak Cornwall work with other local companies throughout the region to provide the highest quality timber-framed buildings, teaming up with fellow St. Ives based firm ymonds onstruction to complete Polmanter. Carpenter Oak cofounder, Tom Jubb tells us: “The adaptability and scope of using a timber frame at the heart of a build project allows for structures that are truly bespoke, depending on what the client needs and what the building will be used for.”

Tom continues: “We don’t supply ‘kitframes’ or follow a pattern book. Each frame we handcraft in the workshops has been designed from scratch, in close collaboration with our clients. The end results are structures that are truly unique and deliver what the clients wanted from their initial brief, rather than making do with something that they then have to adapt their lives or business around.” Impressive!

June this year saw the grand opening of the new building at Polmanter Touring Park, with Derek Thomas MP and St Ives’ Mayor Suzanne Tanner in attendance, as well as three generations of the family behind the business and regular guests.

Carpenter Oak Cornwall, Symonds Construction, Hortus Design and Landscaping and Koha Architects were also there to see the cutting of the ribbon and celebrate with local food and drink.

Tom’s business partner, Tim Simpson, says: Working with local firms is crucial to our business. By collaborating with likeminded trades who share an eye for design, detail and quality, we can offer a wide variety of options to potential clients – from just the timber frame to a complete build. We’ve built up a really strong network of tradespeople who we want to work with and vice-versa, taking on interesting and challenging buildings that will stand the test of time.”

Operating across the region as part of Carpenter Oak, who have framing yards in Devon, Wiltshire and Scotland, covering the whole of the UK and beyond, if you’re looking to realise your dream home, why not bring the project to life with help from the team at Carpenter Oak Cornwall?

THE ROOM

Interior designer Rebecca Rowe of Mor Interiors shares her four rules for creating the perfect living room.

F

DISCOVER MORE For more hints and tips visit the Mor Interiors instagram page @mor.interiors or to book your free hour consultation for all your interior design needs visit www.morinteriors.com

urniture – work with your room size; if you have a large room, don’t be afraid to buy an oversized sofa and armchairs ou will find it will look underdressed if you scrimp on small furniture. With a small space, you often have to downscale the sizes of furniture to give the illusion of an open, airy space. Mix textures, finishes and styles of furniture throughout but keep the colour palette refined as this will give the room a real sense of character, tying a scheme perfectly together.

Artwork – unexpected artwork positioning and sizing adds real interest to a space.

Use your furniture layout and architecture features as a guide for positioning, but try not to hang artwork precisely in the middle of a wall, as it can look contrived. Hanging smaller pieces in the corner of a room above a piece of furniture can create the illusion of a secondary space – especially useful in small rooms. Try mixing colours and textures of frames to complement your hardware light fi tures ironmongery and use a mi ture of lighting fi tures such as uplights downlights or picture lights to highlight the artwork.

Rugs - avoid choosing rugs that are too small a rug covering only the oor around a coffee table will make the space feel incohesive. Go for the largest rug you can find providing that doors can open clearly The rug should extend at least halfway

under sofas and 30cm either side of them.

Side tables and other furniture within the room need to sit either fully on or off the rug to avoid a messy look.

Styling – rule four is the rule of three!

There is an unwritten rule of styling that says you should work with uneven numbers.

Try to avoid symmetry and ‘coupling’ objects; instead, think about balance for a more interesting composition. For example, something tall and vertical like a vase or candlestick, something low and bulky such as a bowl and a lateral object such as a book or a tray is a good starting point for styling a coffee table or sideboard.

roka were recently commissioned to furnish cean iew a beautifully finished and contemporary detached property on the north Cornish coast, showing a minimalist air and eye for detail that blends perfectly with the property's coastal location.

The interior has been simply dressed with statement pieces of furniture throughout to offer a clean cool and modern seaside finish The property has been designated as a holiday let in Mevagissey, and therefore features a collection of finishes and furnishings to make it stand out from the crowd of holiday rentals in the area. Rich, highly textured wallpapers and little accents of statement paint colours were selected to sit alongside crisp white walls. A palette of blues such as corn ower indigo navy and teal have been featured in each room throughout the property to fit in with the client s brief and the contemporary seaside theme.

To complete the look, Iroka chose a range of different materials, textures and fabrics such as linens, felts and velvets to give a feeling of comfort and depth. These fabrics contrast beautifully against the earthy light oak accents, and the natural Sisal madeto measure rug which was finished in a contrasting corn ower blue binding his combined with chunky knit cushions and a gorgeous blue four-seater sofa from Mastrella provides the living area with maximum comfort and a contemporary seaside feel.

The sliding patio doors open onto a stunning outdoor space that Iroka have completed

by adding a solid teak outdoor dining set, perfect for a spot of al fresco dining in the sun as you gaze out at the views of Cornwall’s rugged north coast. A chill out area has also been created, and features a wonderfully modern outdoor sofa set using materials such as Sunbrella fabrics and quick-dry foam.

Peas in a pod

| HOME STAY

Enhance your home by adding a beautiful garden room with a little help from the team at PODS.

D

BELOW What will you do with your extra space?

o you love your home, but need a bit of extra space? Whether it’s that much desired home o ce perhaps an art or yoga studio, or simply somewhere to chill away from the mayhem, it’s a challenge that many people have to contend with. Thankfully, the solution to all your woes can be found right here in Cornwall, courtesy of a creative Newquaybased company.

Introducing PODS, sister company to the Cornish Landscaper. PODS stands for ‘Perfect ces ens tudio’ and that pretty much sums up what the team do in a nutshell.

However, when you delve a little deeper, you discover that it’s so much more than that. These are beautifully designed and constructed spaces, both inside and out, with a quality that speaks for itself. Not only do they look stunning, they can add considerable value to your home too.

PODS are essentially an extension of the garden space, creating an additional room (or rooms) with an extremely versatile range of uses, from games rooms for pool, table tennis or darts to the aforementioned o ce spaces studios, and also home gyms for keeping trim. They could potentially also serve as a guest bedroom or suite, with the relevant permissions. However, 90% of jobs don’t require any planning permission.

The team at PODS can talk you through the entire process, offering CAD (computer aided design) to visualise your pod, as well as a free quote. The really great bit is that the design and finish can be entirely customised to your needs and tastes, to create the ideal space that works for you – exactly how you envisaged it – and can include a range of quality materials.

ABOVE Take, for example, a recent new-build project Just one example of PODS's beautiful in Newquay, with an emphasis on being garden rooms environmentally friendly. The team built a m m o ce and gamesroom using recycled composite cladding, completed with a striking sedum roof of natural grass, which creates a really organic look, provides great insulation and, most importantly to PODS, is incredibly environmentally friendly. PODS worked closely with the client to design the room to meet their brief.

So, don't put up with the lack of space any longer! Whatever your project, perhaps it’s time to contact the team at PODS and start creating your own bespoke space.

A GIN e c n e r e f f i d a w it h A new award-winning gin with its sights aimed at withstanding the best cocktail challenge in the world is now hitting the shelves of the UK’s finest gin mills!

T

for a distiller of just four years! Of TylerStreet Gin, the IWSC said: “enticing on the nose – something discerningly different.

Fruit driven and atypical with aromas of tangerine and lime coming to the fore, amongst a backdrop of botanical complexity.

Controlled but fruity in the mouth. Vivid and lively, with a nice point of difference.

Demands attention, and deservedly so.”

Tyler-Street London Dry can be purchased from Harvey Nichols stores around the UK and this year will see it entering more competitions, trade, and consumer events around the UK, so it’s certainly one to watch!

"

yler-Street gin, which is distilled from a vintage copper pot still for authenticity and avour is citrus orientated and blended with ten traditional botanicals from the Mediterranean and Europe. It’s proven to be a perfect match for tonic and cocktails, with a hint of dryness and overtones of spice.

Tyler-Street Gin dates from 2016, when William Tyler-Street and his friend, Rob Dorsett – Langley Distillery’s Master Distiller – were experimenting and developing new spirits, like true alchemists! William wanted to create a gin for gin and tonics and cocktails, but with a contemporary edge.

Between them, they focussed their skills on creating a gin with what they describe as an effervescent fresh like spring, a crisp citrus like overtone with a avour robust in juniper to stand the best cocktail challenge in the world – the gin and tonic.

William is well travelled; he was born in India and raised in Cornwall and Malaysia.

This upbringing has nurtured a passion for avours especially rich full on aromas such as citrus, hence the citric lead in this gin!

He became a distiller in 2012, with his other brand Curio Spirits, after wanting to create something distinctive and memorable.

Speaking about Tyler-Street Gin, he tells us he design is a avour landscape that re ects my passion for big avours and my passion for travel and new experiences. I think Tyler-Street Gin really hits the mark as one of the best to mix with tonic.”

In just two years, this gin has already received a number of accolades and awards.

It won a gold medal in the International Wine and Spirits Competition (IWSC) and another gold in The Spirits Business Gin Masters 2017. The IWSC also nominated William for Gin Producer UK 2017 – a fantastic and honourable achievement

As autumn once again returns and we get cosy by the fire, we learn about an exciting year for Wendron Stoves.

A

s we discover, it has been a busy 12 months for the team at Wendron Stoves, the inspiring Cornish business based in Helston, established over 30 years ago. We catch up with Hollie Edgcombe from the awardwinning company, who tells us all about it.

“Quite a lot has happened this year, which has been fantastic,” says Hollie. “We haven’t had a summer so busy!”

One of the biggest developments was the recent announcement of Wendron Stoves as the exclusive retailer in Cornwall for Focus. Focus produces stunning and highly contemporary oating’ fireplaces that are

suspended elegantly from the ceiling. It’s no exaggeration to say that these awe-inspiring pieces are true works of art in themselves, adding a real statement to the most chic and stylish of homes.

“They chose us, which was fantastic!”, says Hollie. “Our standards are very high and we don’t just sell anything and everything. We select the stoves that we want to sell based on how they are made, how they look, what we think our customers will like and what stands out.”

In many ways, these values make Wendron toves the perfect fit for the Focus brand ndeed they find themselves in good company – Focus has even had some of its designs exhibited in the Museum of Contemporary Art in Bordeaux, Grenoble and Stockholm, as well as the Guggenheim in New York!

Another major scoop for the Cornish company was becoming ‘Dealer of the Year 2017/2018’ for Everhot Range Cookers. This in itself is a considerable achievement, as Wendron Stoves only opened its Truro store around 12 months ago.

“Of course, in today’s climate, having a showroom in the high street is considered a risk,” says Hollie. “However, people buy people, and people buy service, and service is what we pride ourselves on, so it was one of the best decisions for us. Everhot is a well-respected brand and we were delighted to received this award!”

As well as its Truro store, Wendron Stoves has its agship showroom in elston with a huge range of woodburning stoves fire surrounds range cookers, cookware and accessories. The enthusiastic team are always on hand to help with any ueries you have helping to find the ideal solution for you and your home.

Increasingly, we are all becoming more aware of our individual carbon footprint, and the collective effect this has on our environment. In particular, woodburning stoves have received much press on this topic. However, stove technology has come on significantly in recent years and Wendron Stoves is at the forefront of supplying highly energy e cient stoves and sustainably sourced fuel.

Equally important is ensuring that you have the right type of stove and capacity for your home, as well as learning about how to use and service it correctly. Again, the team at Wendron toves use their e pertise to find the most energy e cient solution for your specific property. So, you can rest assured that in heating your home, you are also doing so in an environmentally-conscious way.

As autumn approaches and we return indoors to get warm and cosy in our homes, there’s no better time to pay a visit to Wendron Stoves, either in Helston or Truro. Whether installing a new fireplace or simply asking for some impartial advice, experience for yourselves what is so special about this awardwinning company.

BEAUTY

We catch up with Megan Dack of design company Interiora, who shows us how to transform your bathroom into a stunning space.

RIGHT Is it time to transform your bathroom?

T

he bathroom is one of the most important rooms in the home, but how do you make it functional without compromising on style? Megan Dack, Director and Interior Designer at Interiora, explains exactly how with a recent brief from a client, who wanted to transform a plain bathroom with no storage into a functional family room with plenty of style.

“We started the design with a chic grey palette,” says Megan. “However, in order to lift it, we introduced these beautiful patterned tiles, which are very striking.” The large wall tiles, whilst being extremely ontrend also have the benefit of being easier to keep clean.

“The space was limited, but I knew we needed to create storage whilst covering up the boxing for the pipes. So, we used a run of slimline units and a worktop that runs all the way around for extra shelf storage.”

For peace of mind, Megan chose Corian for the worktops, an extremely versatile and durable contemporary composite material that is both stylish and long lasting.

Several canny solutions were employed in order to maximise functionality and make the best use of space. The addition of a wallhung pan, for example, helps to make the room appear bigger. Another neat trick was the folding bath screen to make it easier for bathing children.

A splash of colour was added to the room by painting the walls in a light blue. Finally, finishing touches were added in the form of a black rimmed mirror and an anthracite towel rail, to complement the patterned tile.

So, through some clever design tricks and careful choice of materials, Megan managed to create a small room with a big impact, proving that even small bathrooms can be beautiful and practical. But we’ll leave the last word down to the client, who tells us: “I’m very pleased with my new functional bathroom. I just love it!”

Help break

THE CYCLE

Trelya braces for the winter months ahead as it prepares to help impoverished children and families in Penzance.

W

ith the goal of breaking the generational cycle of social and economic deprivation for Cornwall’s most impoverished families based in Penzance, Trelya, after the record breaking summer that’s almost behind us, is preparing for what is the most di cult season for families and children in need – winter and, of course, Christmas.

While Cornwall is known for its temperate climate, many families are stuck in sub-standard housing, vulnerable to cold and damp, relying on inadequate heating and cooking facilities.

They face impossible decisions that most of us never encounter – choices between food or heating; waterproof boots for the kids or petrol to get to work. Sometimes, it feels like too much for parents struggling to make ends meet while caring for small children.

One mum, who has a small baby to care for, tells us: “If Trelya hadn’t helped me, I would have had to give her up and tell them to take her away this time.” Another parent explains: “If it wasn’t for this place (Trelya), we wouldn’t have made it through the year. It’s a lifesaver.”

Whether it’s simply via a hot meal at the youth drop-in; the Ofsted registered nursery, Skylar, which helps young mums; Trelya’s youth work or long-term programme ‘Friends of the Children’, which mentors at-risk children by providing each child a dedicated youth worker, Trelya is determined to improve the lives of children at risk and impoverished families.

But the team can’t do it alone. With intense competition for institutional charitable grants, lack of government funding and the rising cost of resources, Trelya is reaching out to the Cornish community for help for the first time having never before asked the local population for aid.

Whether you’re a local business, Cornwall resident, holiday visitor or holiday home owner, to find out how you can help and what relya is up against, be sure to contact the team.

A HUNGER

well sated W

alking in to Henlys Bar and Restaurant, we were immediately greeted with its contemporary yet cosy interior. A stylish bar bustling with happy people, we lapped up the atmosphere for a moment before deciding to venture up to the restaurant, our tummies rumbling.

Upon entering, we were warmly welcomed

by Amy, the co-owner. She swiftly took us to a cosy, candle-lit table for two by a sash window.

Menus in hand, we ordered our drinks and then perused the selection of dishes on offer.

Henlys change their menus daily, so no need to seek out a specials board, everything was conveniently in front of us.

Speaking with Sean, head-chef and co-owner, he has an obvious passion for the menus that they showcase in the restaurant. Great care is taken in the thought behind each dish, from sourcing the local, quality produce, to playing with multiple avour combinations before landing on the perfect one, not to mention the art of presenting each component with a certain air without anything appearing hollow and overly ostentatious.

Within a minute or two, our drinks had arrived. A crisp, Italian pinot grigio (Tanti

Petali Garganega) for me, and a local Doom Bar amber ale for my dining partner, a firm favourite It took a second visit from Amy to our table before we had decided on what to order. I eventually landed on the Pork Liver Parfait and my partner the Pan Fried Red Mullet.

The rich parfait was piped onto lightly toasted brioche, accompanied by sweet slivers of quince gel, adding a little tang to the dish.

The mullet looked and smelled amazing and the taste didn’t disappoint. It was perfectly cooked and went down swimmingly with the bed of Mediterranean couscous.

My partner, Ross, quipped that he could have eaten it all over again for his main course, but sadly we were finished and ready to see what else we had in store.

Whilst waiting, we enjoyed a view of the kitchen, a hive of activity. The chefs worked quickly but methodically and with care, nothing seemed rushed. It was a calming sight to see the time, effort and thought put in to every dish each finished promptly and ready for service.

With fresh drinks in hand, we were presented with the main event. For me, the Trio of Pork made up of tenderloin, cheek and an apple and black pudding bon bon paired with crispy tenderstem broccoli and a cider jus. Opposite me sat a mouth-watering fillet steak rare steam rising oth meals were ambrosial.

The trio was divine. The cheek fell apart with ease, the tenderloin succulent and the bon bon, a sweet surprise. The local etallack fillet tasted in everyway as good as it looked. It simply melted in the mouth. The artisanal hand-cut chips, tomato, pea shoots and portobello mushroom were delicious

accompaniments, a twist on the traditional.

Comfortably full, we sat for a little before being offered the menu again to decide on something sweet. After a recommendation of the wa es couldn’t resist o the wa es it was and a ornish cheeseboard for my partner.

If you’re somewhat of a sweet tooth, the triple chocolate wa es are not one to pass up. Layered with creamy milk chocolate ice cream, white and milk chocolate bark and dark chocolate sauce, frosted with white and milk chocolate powder, they were nothing short of delicious. The cheeseboard was equal in creating a high point at the end of the evening. A selection of local Cornish cheeses, partnered with quince jelly, cool red grapes and crisp Miller’s Damsels biscuits. A rich port was offered to accompany the board, only declined due to the post-dinner drive that awaited.

With the ambient surroundings, exemplary service and exquisite food, it’s evident that Henlys is a pinnacle in the Cornish foodie scene. It’s somewhat of a hidden gem, and it’s certainly here to stay. If you take any recommendation this month, let it be this… venture down to Henlys, you won’t regret it!

FUEL YOUR COFFEE PASSION

WORDS BY

BETHANY ALLEN

If you love good coffee then you have got to visit The Padstow Coffee Company.

TOP Padstow Coffee's welcoming and stylish shop RIGHT Learn about the different coffees and coffee making techniques INSET The light bodied Daymer filter blend, perfect at any time of day

I

f you’re a coffee lover, then we highly recommend a visit to The Padstow Coffee Company. Within the stylish and welcoming interior of the shop you’ll find a carefully curated selection of the finest single estate coffees just waiting to be discovered.

Director Sarah Prosser tells us: “We carry out daily tastings and demonstrations, helping customers see how easy it is to use the varied pieces of coffee equipment available. Our mission is to show people that you really don't need expensive machines to make good coffee at home.”

The beauty of The Padstow Coffee Company is that when you visit the shop, you have the opportunity to discover your ideal avour combination and wake up to the perfect cup of coffee, every day. Sarah explains: “The world of coffee can be slightly overwhelming, especially if you've just started out on your coffee journey. We wanted to provide somewhere that makes coffee more accessible to everyone. Coffee is much like wine, different regions produce different beans which all have different avour notes Just by changing the grind slightly or using a different brewing method you can discover the perfect coffee to suit your tastes.”

The Padstow Coffee Company is providing something truly unique to its customers.

“We’re a luxury brand and that’s because we’re using the best beans we can get our hands on; it’s all rainforest alliance, 100% high grown Arabica, and we only use single estate – expertly blended in our roastery in St Meryn.”

The blends are all named after bays and beaches around the Padstow area too, making them a unique gift idea and allowing you to take a taste of Padstow home with you. Sarah tells us: “My favourite blend is Constantine, it’s where I walk my dog in the morning and its a nice bright citrusy number, which for me, makes the perfect breakfast coffee.”

Essentially what The Padstow Coffee Company does is make great coffee accessible to everyone. “At the end of the day, if you’re going to buy a decent bottle of wine you expect to pay more for it – coffee is no different and after all, life’s too short to drink bad coffee.”

yourself

We catch up with award-winning photographer and graduate from Plymouth College of Art, Nicholas White, about his experience studying photography.

W

RIGHT Nicholas firmly embraces our connection to the outdoors BELOW Taken in the southern Carpathian Mountains, Romania

hen Nicholas was growing up, his holidays were spent visiting his grandparents on Dartmoor, “so the outdoors were always a big part of my life, and photography was always a part of that. When it came to studying, Plymouth College of Art was one of the few remaining specialist art colleges, which was important to me. I focused my projects there on the outdoors and Dartmoor was a big in uence Nicholas explains that the idea of ‘rewilding’ is embedded in his work. “‘Rewilding’ is restoring natural balances, allowing nature to take its own course. If you’re going to work with the land then you have to be prepared to embrace all of it. It’s all about embracing our connection with the outdoors and not being afraid to e plore it Nicholas now lives on Dartmoor. “I have the best of both worlds – easy access to London, so connected with industry, but I can go hiking in the national park, not see another person for days and make some of the best work I’ve ever made!

He encourages us to ‘take the leap’. “Everyday at Plymouth College of Art, you’re surrounded by likeminded individuals and are constantly being pushed and encouraged. As soon as you leave you can feel isolated, and the panic can set in. I would give the same advice that my brother gave me: it’s a leap of faith. Just go out and make work, keep making work and it will pay off

“Since graduating and becoming a freelance artist, I have been self-employed for just over a year. I’m comfortable as both a commercial editorial photographer, with lighting and digital e uipment and a fine art photographer, where I capture portraits and landscapes on larger medium format cameras. Both of them complement each other, giving me the opportunity to experiment across disciplines So what’s next for Nicholas? He tells us: “I won The Royal Photographic Society’s Environmental Bursary, so I’m travelling to Romania and photographing the Guardians of the Forest as they return mountains and forests to a state of pure wilderness ick will be using the uardians’ scientific data to map his shoots, following migration corridors of bears and footprints of wolves, and the images he captures will be used in his next book, a follow up to his previous publication, Black Dots, so watch this space!

HOT TUB

heaven

Buying and owning a hot tub is a genuine pleasure thanks to the team at Spyrys Spas and Hot Tubs.

C

elebrating six years of business this September, Spyrys Spas and Hot Tubs is a family business that started with just a building, a van and a few hot tubs on display. Now, founders Brian and Sharon lead a full team of service and valet engineers, and have won awards within the industry for Technician of the Year and Installation of the Year. They’ve also become part of the British and Irish Spa & Hot Tub Association.

Sharon manages the showroom and sales and is often the first point of contact for new customers, making them feel welcome and comfortable with their buying experience. She also offers ongoing water management advice – just part of Spyrys’ sterling aftercare service.

Brian oversees the deliveries, servicing and water valet side of the business. He tells us: “With my former Civil Engineering experience and contacts within the construction and water industry, I’m able to organise the safe delivery of our spas using a purpose built spa delivery trailer, which allows us to wheel or slide the spa into position. We can also organise for hi-ab or crane hire for those trickier gardens in Cornwall and are happy to liaise with builders, designers and electricians to ensure that our customers’ experience is always second to none.”

Sharon, Brian and the team don’t push a hard sale nstead they focus on finding the right hot tub for you, whether you’re looking for a simple to use model a more specific hydrotherapy massage, or just a tub for family fun complete with music and lighting systems. What’s more, they focus on educating each client in how to look after their hot tub, as well as providing water maintenance advice, valeting, services and repairs, making it easy to own a hot tub. They can even help with relocation, should you decide to move house and want to take your tub with you!

Sharon stresses: “For anybody interested in buying a hot tub, it’s important to come into the showroom in order to see the quality of what we offer first hand and to understand the features and function of each model. It’s also a great opportunity to try before you buy!”

ENVIRONMENTALLY AWARE ARCHITECTURE We meet Ian Armstrong of ARCO2 Architecture, an inspiring Cornish company at the cutting edge of both design and sustainability.

ith a by-line: “beautiful buildings that don’t cost the earth,” the ARCO2 Architecture team emphasise that their projects are both cost effective and environmentally aware. Director Ian Armstrong tells us: “ARCO2 don’t just build you a dwelling or o ce we create homes with benefits to enhance your lifestyle literally building homes for future generations.”

This building approach is evident in the creation of ‘Mellalue’, an outstanding coastal property designed and built by ARCO2’s inhouse construction company. When creating and building this remarkable property, the ARCO2 team worked closely with their client to achieve their vision to the highest possible standard, whilst also taking into consideration the impact on the surrounding environment and neighbours.

Ian continues: “as a RIBA Chartered Architects Practice we have a unique, innovative and human approach to design which is evident in this stunning house.” The new dwelling replaces a mid-20th century bungalow, which was of little architectural merit and didn’t make the most of the beautiful site. ARCO2 stepped in and with a brief from the client to construct a low

energy, contemporary home that could accommodate a family with teenagers and elderly parents, the team made moves to construct this impressive property. Ian emphasises that: “one of the key design considerations was to retain the sea views for the neighbouring building behind and improve their outlook.” With this in mind, the house was designed with a curved roof to maximise space, minimise impact and enhance the neighbour’s perspective.

Ian continues: “It’s one of the most sustainable dwellings in terms of building fabric and energy usage in the area, and demonstrates that a strong but simple design concept can be really striking.” So, if you want to create a beautiful home with minimal impact on the environment, then get in touch for your free consultation and make moves to secure yourself a home and help secure the planet for future generations.

QUALITY GUARANTEED

ABOVE Really making the most of the view

We catch up with Colin, owner of Collington and Company, who tells us about an impressive year so far.

H

elston-based Collington & Co, an independent, family run business, can assist on any home project, whether you need the team to install based on your plans, or require their input throughout the design and planning process. To demonstrate this, we catch up company owner, Colin, who talks us through just some of the projects the team have completed this year.

“Earlier this year, we turned a shed into a garden sunroom. The brief from the client was to create a versatile space that could be used as an addition to their e isting home We proposed an idea for the design and were an integral part of the planning and building process mpressively the sunroom features a climate controlled glass roof from Ultra Frame, alongside grey uPVC frames with aluminium reinforcing and high-security locking mechanisms. To complete the sunroom it was finished with cream cladding

by R&R Fascias, which perfectly complements the grey frames.

Another recent project saw the Collingtons team designing plans to e tend a window into a beautiful bay window seat with sliding patio doors. To achieve this, Colin tells us: “The fitting team created a timber ledge outside the e isting windows and built up to create the bay space he new opening was filled with one large two-part sliding patio door and two large fi ed windows he doors on this installation were made to measure with

white, steel-reinforced uPVC frames with an easy-glide track and a high-performance multi-point locking system.

Perhaps the most impressive project so far this year is the oor to ceiling glass wall that Collingtons were asked to supply. “We presented the client with plans for one fourpart sliding patio door and four shaped, fi ed windows Again, the frames were made up of white, steel-reinforced uPVC within an easy glide track for the four-part patio door, to slide along a high performance multi-point locking system. “The doors and the shaped frames were made to measure, creating a bespoke and individual finish to the client’s e tension nsurprisingly this fantastic ornish firm recently became a member of the Buy With onfidence scheme initiated by ornwall Council, members of which adhere to the highest of standards across all aspects of business. So, if your home improvement project could use the insight of an e pert team with more than years’ e perience in the industry we definitely recommend contacting the team at Collington & Co!

After two years redesigning all 30 bedrooms with anti ues and ornish art the hotel opened in the summer of 1998 and was the first hotel of its kind in ornwall lga oli i tells us his year we will celebrate the th anniversary of resanton and it still remains true to its origins with its chic decorative and understated style.” his detail hasn’t gone unnoticed by laire who says ll the rooms were beautifully

ABOVE Tourmalines & 18ct gold rough textured rings with sapphires set in 18ct gold

T

he Jewellery Workshop has been firmly established on orthleven’s picturesque harbourside for over six years and is becoming well known throughout the whole of south Cornwall for commissions, contemporary and traditional jewellery, which owners Clair, Paul and the team combine with unrivalled customer service.

After three years of trading in the workshop on ‘Breage-side’ of Porthleven harbour near the fishermen’s pier lair and aul Pennington managed to expand their business to include a bigger shop on the opposite side of the harbour. This allows them to display a greater selection of different designs and styles, many of which are made in house.

Known for the broad variety of services covered and fair prices charged, the pair are very grateful to count many locals as very loyal customers. What’s more, they tell us: “As our reputation is growing, we’re getting more and more visitors returning year after year to our shop.”

Clair continues: “Every aspect of jewellery making is covered in our shop and much of it is done in-house. We also complement our range with carefully chosen items from other suppliers, with a reputation for quality and great service. If you’re looking for a special gift for yourself or a special someone, whatever your taste and budget you’ll find it here

From simple jobs like ring resizing to intricate bespoke designs with exacting requirements, the team is always on hand with expert advice and support. From watch batteries, to pearl reknotting, from gift vouchers, to intricate commissions, The Jewellery Workshop, Porthleven is the place to go.

Paul and team member Rachel can be found on a daily basis working on bespoke commissions, often involving melting customers’ gold down and creating new, more contemporary pieces. Perhaps you have a treasured piece at home that you’d like to rework into a style that suits you? If so, take it into the shop and ask one of the team to take a look, before commissioning them to create a unique item that’s perfect for you.

One very special service, Paul tells us, “is the opportunity for couples to make each other’s wedding rings in our workshop. Our beautiful setting makes this a romantic experience that couples will treasure for years to come.”

ABSOLUTE

ETHICAL LUXURY Introducing KinetIQue’s unique lab grown diamond, 30% tougher and even brighter than mined diamonds.

C

ornish company KinetIQue Jewellery are forerunners in the cultivated diamond industry, creating an ethical and luxurious alternative to mined diamonds. The IQ Diamond is truly unique, as its core can only be found naturally from an exploding star; its complex make-up and ethical credentials led it to be named the iamond and it has firmly been put on the world map as a multi-award winning diamond.

KinetIQue introduced the original IQ iamond four years ago it was the first hybrid diamond to be sold in the UK and has proven to be extremely popular. As technology has moved on so too has the IQ Diamond, evolving into a stunning diamond option with greater lustre and more purity than most diamonds.

Jason Foreman, who has a degree in Applied Chemistry, is the man behind the creation of the IQ Diamond. He tells us: “This business is something we’re truly passionate about.

Every time we send a piece of jewellery set with an IQ Diamond to a customer we feel an immense sense of pride in its beauty and uniqueness – a KinetIQue diamond is the first hybrid diamond in the world to have a pure diamond mantle grown using Chemical Vapour Deposition Technology (CVD).”

Jason and his partner Elaine founded KinetIQue and their daughter, Emily has just joined the business. “As a company,” Elaine adds, “we want our customers to wear their beautiful IQ Diamond jewellery with pride and without any doubts as to their origin or any potentially unsavoury practices that may have been used to acquire them. We also want customers to be assured that their IQ Diamond will last a lifetime, just like a natural diamond.”

KinetIQue specialise in creating bespoke pieces crafted using classical methods by a team of expert jewellery makers. Every aspect of each piece is carefully considered and responsibly sourced. KinetIQue use the finest recycled and fair trade metals available and other cultivated gemstones. As the socially responsible stone for today’s socially responsible buyer, the IQ diamond is the most diamond-like gem in nearly every aspect, but tougher, brighter and more affordable, meaning bigger, brighter stones without costing the earth, literally or metaphorically.

othing beats a proper Cornish success story, and we’ve found a real gem for you! KinetIQue is a forward thinking, award-winning jewellery company with strong ethical credentials, specialising in bespoke designs and off-theshelf engagement, wedding and anniversary pieces, all set with the IQ Diamond.

As co-founder Jason Foreman tells us, the company is driven by creating beautiful jewellery that’s free from environmental damage or humanitarian issues. As we all become more aware of the questions surrounding the sourcing of natural diamonds it’s heartwarming to find a business that’s doing it right – and doing it right here in the Duchy!

Jason utilised his degree in Applied hemistry and e perience to create the first hybrid-diamond using Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) Technology to grow a diamond mantle onto a high-tech ceramic core, producing a stunning and unique gemstone branded as the IQ Diamond.

the environment. Jewellery is given from the heart, so why give a diamond that has caused harm to people or the environment?

This is a contradiction!”

Indeed, at only a fraction of the cost of traditional diamonds, IQ Diamonds represent excellent value, without the conscience. The company’s ethical stance and technological innovation have led to a number of awards, including a Cornwall Sustainability Award 2017 and, most recently, an award for ‘Environmental Best Practice’ from the Green Organisation.

So, what is Jason’s favourite product from the range? “Our halo set rings seem to be highly popular at the moment. In particular, Mia looks really lovely because it is also set with IQ Diamond melées on its shoulder.”

We’re keen to discover why Jason headquartered the business in Cornwall,

rather than in, say, London or elsewhere.

“KinetIQue was always destined to be based here. We love Cornwall, more than anywhere else. In fact, many of our customers come to see us whilst enjoying a weekend break away from the hustle of the bigger cities. We’re opening a showroom in Truro soon, so we’re excited to be establishing proper roots. Also, the IQ Diamond is a unique product that is kind, not mined so how fitting is it that we operate from a place that was once a mining region?”

As Jason explains, Cornwall also offers the perfect work-life balance: “Cornwall has so much to offer in terms of variety and abundance of new and exciting businesses, why would we want to be anywhere else?

There are amazing restaurants and pubs, beautiful scenery and the coast is pretty much all around us… we’re living the dream! Charlestown is such a lovely spot, with amazing places to eat and drink as well as great coastal walks. My favourite beach is Mother Ivey’s Bay near Harlyn Sands, where I spent so much of my formative years, as my parents owned a caravan there.”

So, how does Jason unwind on a day off?

“My go-to sport is road biking. I also love the theatre and just recently saw Miss aigon for the first time an incredibly moving show. I love gin and tonic – I seem to have discovered the joys of local gin from Cornwall. Two of my favourites are The Wrecking Coast’s Clotted Cream Gin and Tarquin’s Rhubarb and Raspberry... ansum!”

With KinetIQue soon to be rebranded as Ethical Rocks, plus the new showroom and new products including pure cultivated diamonds on the way, we look forward to the next chapter of this exciting Cornish business.

AND AWAY Experience a helicopter flight to the Isles of Scilly

T

he Isles of Scilly are truly unspoilt, a paradise lying just 28 miles off of the coast of Cornwall; a magical cluster of islands offering up long white, sandy beaches and crystal-clear turquoise seas that are more reminiscent of the Caribbean than the UK. It’s now even easier to discover why visitors return time and time again, as you can connect to Scilly on the recently launched Island Helicopters service, with daily scheduled helicopter ights available for the first time in six years. Island Helicopters is operated by Gloucester-based Specialist Aviation Services (SAS) in partnership with Isles of Scilly Travel, using brand new 10-seater AW169 helicopters.

Enjoy a stress free check-in at Land’s End Airport before hopping on board and enjoying the mesmerising views before arriving just 15 minutes after take off! Alternatively, you can opt to y on fi ed wing kybus planes from Exeter, Newquay or Land’s End, or enjoy a relaxing sail from Penzance on the iconic Scillonian III passenger ferry, soaking up the views of the Cornish coastline along the way.

Once you arrive, you can live the island life and hop between the five inhabited islands of St Mary’s, St Martin’s, Bryher, Tresco and St Agnes, as well as exploring the many more uninhabited islands surrounding them.

Snorkel with seals, kayak to hidden coves and take a boat trip to spot rare birds and wildlife, or simply wind down and soak up the views as you stroll along some of the 60 miles of stunning coastal footpaths, relax on largely deserted beaches, or wander through the famous gardens that ourish in this subtropical climate.

So relish your chance to connect with a slower, gentler pace of life – and see for yourself why people who visit the Isles of Scilly tend to come back time and again.

ADVENTURE

DISCOVER MORE All touring and adventure holidays can be booked through your local branch of Newell’s TRAVEL, who will apply their expert knowledge and expansive understanding of different tour operators to find the perfect holiday for you.

H

ow times change, just a few years ago beach holidays were all the rage; you escaped the hustle and bustle of everyday life and headed for the beach – sand, sun and relaxation was the name of the game.

However, with the growth of technology and the rise of social media, holidays are now increasingly based on experiencing adventures. Our generation is bombarded with photos or selfies of people e ploring incredible places and as a reaction to this there has been a considerable rise in adventure seekers. Now, that’s not to say that you have to be mega fit to enjoy these holidays they simply allow you to immerse yourself more into the culture of a destination, seeing the sights and truly experiencing a place.

We discuss how the rise of social media has led to an influx in exploration and adventure holidays.

In response to this new trend, a group of like-minded tour operators – who specialise in touring and adventure holidays – have joined forces to create the Association of Touring & Adventure Suppliers (ATAS).

Touring has always been important in the eyes of the British holidaymaker, with coach companies taking passengers all over the British Isles and the continent for years.

However, the way in which touring is executed has started to evolve, taking the concept of touring further, and in doing so – it’s also captured the imagination of the younger generations, who are looking for something different to the traditional tour.

Take the cruise industry, for example. n the last fifteen years it’s e ploded with over 70 cruise companies, 350 ocean-going cruise ships and over 1,000 river ships, all providing cruise holidays. The question is, could the touring and adventure industry expand in the same way? ATAS believe so. So far there are 21 founder members, well-established tour many of whom are well-est operators and therefore well versed in the touring industry. Companies such as Leger, AAT Kings, APT, Newmarket Holidays, Riviera Travel and Trafalgar, (to name but a few) are investing in the adventure touring industry and are well known to us all for providing exceptional tours around the world already, whether on land, sea or by river.

With the emergence of adventure as part of the tour holiday concept companies are redefining their tours. Companies such as Exodus, who have already been in the business for 40 years, have started to formulate tours that immerse the traveller in the country’s culture and environment. It’s Exodus’ ethos to be responsible for the local environment and communities, working with local guides, restaurants and guest houses to help you get closer to the heart and soul of the destination you’re visiting and for communities to benefit as well And you don’t have to give up luxury to enjoy a touring and adventure holiday. Companies such as Collette provide all-inclusive tours, where local tour guides show you the best of a destination and your accommodation and

cuisine is of the highest standard. Then there are activity holidays, all carefully prepared to cater for different levels of fitness walking cycling and wildlife encounters are among the most popular.

Touring and adventure holidays are normally limited to small groups, which is also ideal for the single traveller. You’ll meet like-minded people to explore with and have free time to explore on your own or optional excursions and guided excursions to get the best out of a destination.

With the rise in interest in these types of holidays, a touring and adventure holiday has evolved for everyone, so why not experience this exciting new chapter of holiday exploration for yourself?

CORNWALL S

Introducing Penwith Studios, giving you the chance to unwind amidst Cornwall’s rugged and natural landscape.

TOP A magical sunset on the horizon ABOVE Penwith House has been lovingly restored

et in a breathtaking landscape, steeped in myth and legend, the unique history of Penwith House at Land’s End dates back over 100 years. The building was originally built as a Victorian-era Temperance hotel in 1860, giving guests the chance to rejuvenate in its wild, natural setting.

Today, Penwith House has been lovingly restored and converted into Penwith Studios – four luxury en-suite studio rooms, each with their own distinctive character and personality, designed for a relaxing and memorable stay at Cornwall and England’s most westerly point. This new addition to Land’s End offers a unique base to discover the region, leaving behind the commotion of everyday life and giving you the time to relax and revitalise.

Located next to the Land’s End Hotel, Penwith Studios provide all the comfort and convenience of a top-notch hotel stay.

The restaurant and bar are just a stone’s throw away, but the rooms offer extra touches of privacy and luxury, such as an exclusive courtyard garden for whiling away autumnal afternoons or enjoying evening sunsets.

Situated in one of the most picturesque areas of Cornwall, the dramatic granite pillars and buttresses of England’s most

westerly point look out over a turbulent sea, where the land divides the English Channel from the Atlantic ocean, and some people believe that ahead lies Lyonesse, the site of ing rthur’s final battle with Mordred.

As you drink in this amazing coastline from your sea view room, it’s not hard to be inspired by the stunning coastal scenery that stretches for miles around. The iconic Longships Lighthouse can be seen off the coast and, on a clear day, you’ll be able see the Isles of Scilly in the distance.

Strolling along the surrounding familyfriendly paths, above cliffs carved out by the waves of the mighty Atlantic ocean, you may find yourself in the company of soaring seabirds and, if you’re lucky, seals, dolphins and porpoises too. If you walk around the corner from Sennen, along the South West Coast Path, you can spot in the distance a shipwreck cast upon the rugged shoreline.

And near St Buryan in west Penwith, you’ll find the erry aidens eolithic stone circle, which is beautifully preserved and well worth visiting. Land’s End is a mystical landscape with surprises at every turn; you’ll feel like you’ve gone back in time to an age filled with magic and beauty

So, explore the most westerly point of England and discover the secrets of this history-steeped landscape. From shipwrecks to stone circles and everything in-between, it really is a magical landscape where the land ends to meet the sea.

And after your adventures through time return to Penwith Studios and slip back into the luxury of the modern world. It really is the perfect place to unwind this autumn, providing the ultimate base from which to explore this stunning area of Cornwall.

Make sure you stay dry this season by ensuring your waterproofs are ready for any Cornish downpour.

T

he best way to explore Cornwall in the ABOVE Make the most of autumn and winter months is to don Cornwall's your waterproofs and get out there, outdoors in apparel come rain or shine. With help from you know you outdoor experts Outback Trading in Helston, can trust we have some top tips on how to make sure your outerwear is weather proof and winterready. Nobody likes to be stuck in a downpour with a jacket that doesn't do its job, but with effective garments you can avoid any leaks and also keep your waterproofs looking good for longer.

If you wear a waterproof jacket often, it is open to the elements, rain showers and general wear and tear day in, day out. You may find without realising that the resilience to rainfall in your jacket has reduced and needs to be revitalised before being ready to take the hit again this winter. The way to do this is with a specialist cleaner and re-proofer.

Market leaders in outdoor garment care come from Nikwax and Grangers. Outback Trading recommends sticking with one of these brands as they are reliable and perform very well, and Nikwax is readily available in Outback’s Cornwall store and online.

If you use biological washing powder you’ll need to start by cleaning any powder remnants from the draw and drum of your washing machine as it can be detrimental to the breathability of technical outerwear. Next,

grab one or two waterproof garments for washing reproofing utback rading suggests proofing two garments at once as you’ll need to use the same amount of solution regardless of garment quantity. Prepare each garment by closing all pockets and closing zips so nothing gets caught in the machine.

Use the manufacturer's recommended dosage of cleaner in your machine and wash as instructed When the cycle has finished you don’t need to take the garments out, as you’re now ready to apply the waterproof layer. Repeat the same process as above but using a re-proofer instead. When the machine has finished its cycle spin the machine to dry the garments a little more, then, naturally dry the jacket or place in a tumble drier on low for 15-30 mins – do not dry on a radiator.

And that’s it! Your waterproofs should now bead off little droplets of water again as if you’d bought them brand new and you’ll be safe in the knowledge that you’ll stay dry on your next Cornish adventure.

We find out more about Cornwall Hospice Care’s next big adventure.

T

he team at Cornish charity, Cornwall Hospice Care, have launched their next big adventure, the Camel to astle ycling hallenge his five day trip will take a group of 50 intrepid cyclists from the mouth of the River Camel to France, traversing Cornwall from west to east and ultimately cycling a total of 280 miles. Each and every mile cycled will be helping to fund the specialist care the charity provides to patients with terminal illnesses and to their carers, families and friends.

The route explores the beauty of Cornwall before an overnight ferry crossing to France where the challenge features much of the famous La Vélodyssée, the Atlantic cycling route he grand finale will be in the heart of antes the largest city in north west France where the cyclists will finish in the walled courtyard of the stunning Château des ducs de Bretagne (the Castle of the Dukes of Brittany).

This exciting challenge follows on from the success of the charity’s ‘Mount to Mont’ Cycle last autumn, when 39 cyclists set off from St Michael’s Mount, Marazion on a

journey to Mont St Michel in Normandy. he record breaking team raised a stunning £111,469. Oli Hoare, Cornwall Hospice Care’s Head of Fundraising, was one of the cyclists: “never before has an event or challenge raised such a phenomenal sum for Cornwall Hospice Care. After costs, the team funded the equivalent of 3,422 hours of nursing care. With just 19% of our care costs funded through a contribution from Cornwall’s NHS Commissioners, we hope people will join us to help raise the funds we need and for what we are sure will be a fantastic experience.”

The event is limited to 50 cyclists and just £149.00 secures a place. The charity is asking participants to raise a minimum of £1,960 and if the last Cornwall Hospice Care cycling challenge is anything to go by, this is an adventure not to be missed!

AVOIDING HIDDEN DANGERS IN RETIREMENT A recent report[1] identified that many savers in retirement are either taking ‘too little’ risk or taking ‘the wrong sort’ of risk. Each approach increases the danger of either running out of money during retirement or having to face reduced standards of living.

How can you take too little risk?

An example of taking ‘too little’ risk is taking your tax-free cash at retirement and investing the rest in an ultra-low-risk investment such as a Cash ISA. The report points out that ‘investing in retirement is still longterm investing’ and shows that decades of low-return saving can seriously damage the living standards of retirees. It highlights the case of someone who retired ten years ago with an illustrative pension pot of £100,000 which they invested in cash. Assuming they withdrew money at £7,500 per year (in line with annuity rates at the time), they would now be down to £27,000 and likely to run out, less than fifteen years into retirement The reckless retiree – what is ‘the wrong sort’ of risk?

In an era of low interest rates, some retired people may be tempted to seek out more unusual forms of investment with apparently high rates of return but accompanied by much greater risk to their capital. Examples could include peerto-peer lending, investment in aircraft leasing or even crypto currencies such as bitcoin. Concentrated exposure to a single, potentially volatile investment can produce very poor outcomes, particularly if bad returns come early in retirement.

The rational retiree – what is the best way to handle risk in retirement?

Rather than invest in an ultra-low-risk way or chase individual high-risk investments, the report identifies a third way’ of spreading risk across a range of assets, including company shares, bonds and property, both at home and abroad. This

multi-asset approach can be expected to provide better returns over retirement than cautious investing in cash but also helps to smooth the ups and downs of individual investments.

Pension freedoms open up new possibilities for people in retirement, but they create new dangers as well. There is the danger of being too cautious and not making your money work hard enough. There is also the danger of taking the wrong sort of risk, seeking high returns but putting your capital at risk.

Spreading money across a range of assets, in different markets at home and abroad is likely to deliver better returns, without exposing you to the capital risks that can come from chasing more risky investment types.

Could equity release be the key to unlocking yours?

Cornish equity release specialist Giraffe provide honest, expert advice in this growing area of personal finance.

ith the advent of new regulations and a modern breed of advisors, it’s clear to see the benefits of today’s lifetime mortgages, as we found out when we met with Giraffe’s owners, Andrew Johnson and Ashley Miller. oth e perienced financial advisors shley’s background is in retail management before a move to financial services nine years ago e spent some time working for a ‘corporate’ before setting up his own, independent mortgage advice company ndrew spent five years with Coutts as a wealth management specialist before the draw to his homeland proved too much.

Growing up together in Falmouth, Andrew and Ashley have been friends since school, and joined forces to launch Giraffe after identifying a gap in the market for a company in Cornwall that focuses solely on equity release. The products of the past compared to those available now are like chalk and cheese, with providers now having to adhere to much more stringent regulations. With this in mind, we were keen to find out from the e perts how our readers could benefit What exactly is equity release?

“Equity release refers to a range of products that could let you access the equity (cash) tied up in your home if you are over the aged 55 or over. You can take the money you release as a lump-sum or, in several smaller amounts or as a combination of both ere at iraffe we can provide advice on all equity release products, although focus on lifetime mortgages, as these allow you to maintain ownership of your home, which is something we feel strongly about,” explained Andrew. shley added modern lifetime mortgages give you the option to either pay the interest so you know exactly what your outstanding balance will be or let the interest ‘roll up’ if you don’t want to make any regular payments - it's totally up to you. Rolling up means that the interest will be added together until the end of the mortgage, usually on death or permanent vacation of the property. If you prefer your children, or family, can also choose to pay the interest throughout the term, so reducing the erosion of any inheritance. Due to new regulations, you will never be left with negative equity, meaning any beneficiaries to your estate will not be left out of pocket.”

When and how much equity can I release?

Andrew explained that equity release is available to those 55 and over and usually until the age of 85. The percentage you can release depends on a combination of both your age and the value of your property ere at iraffe we run an ethical model and will explore a number of alternatives before offering equity release – for example the product isn’t always suitable for those at the younger end of the spectrum and sometimes we can offer a ‘normal’ mortgage as a better solution,” said Ashley. “Even though

| ADVICE Giraffe solely deals in equity release, as financial advisors we are there to ensure our customers have the right product for them and if we think equity release isn’t suitable we will say so.” We also found out that there are various options when it comes to how you take your money. You arrange an amount to release that can then be taken either as a lump sum, a drawdown (where you can take funds as and when you require them) or a combination of the two his has the benefit that you’re not paying interest on the whole amount and have the freedom to take part now and part later.

Why would I need to consider equity release? ndrew told us here are many people who haven’t planned their pension requirements adequately, are only receiving a state pension but have a high amount of equity tied up in their home.” For this demographic, releasing equity to provide a bit more cash to live on day to day can prove invaluable. Some of Giraffe’s clients release equity from their homes as a way of helping their families financially in advance of their death. For example, grandparents may want to help their grandchildren with university fees, buying their own car or to help their children get onto the first rung of the property ladder. Others might want to pay off an interest only mortgage that is coming to an end or to simply release some money so that they can enjoy their retirement.

What does Giraffe offer its customers? shley e plained that we are here to educate and help our customers understand that equity release no longer has the stigma attached to it that it once had. Andrew and myself are always at the end of a phone – there are no call centres here! We love to talk to our customers and, although we have o ces in ruro we are very happy to visit people in their own homes. There is no charge for these visits and any fees are only payable once the mortgage is finalised We are also totally independent so, unlike larger companies who may be tied to a specific few lenders, we can offer advice on a much broader range of products.” Giraffe has an excellent website where you can find out more including a sophisticated equity release calculator so that you can see at a glance how much you might be able to release.

HOME SWEET HOME We discover five important things you need to know when buying a new build home.

H

olly King, a Cornish lawyer in the Residential Property Team at tephens cown is an e pert in buying new build homes and has helped thousands of buyers through the process We caught up with her to find out what we should be considering when purchasing a new build. elp to uy part e changes and other affordable housing schemes have helped millions of people buy their first home or move up the property ladder e plains olly “However, over the years I’ve seen some common things crop up which can take people by surprise.” olly gives us her five tips for people who are thinking about buying a new build home.

Timescales Be aware that timescales given by developers will often be an estimate. There are many factors that are outside of a developer’s control such as weather, availability of materials and availability of trades on site.

Visit the site Most developments will not have been built on a perfectly at site and the gardens to those properties will not be perfectly at either. To get the best idea of what your garden will be like, it is important to visit the site.

Alterations Be aware that developers may make minor alterations to the property if materials are not available or are discontinued. Depending on the developer, there will be different contract provisions to provide for this and how it is dealt with.

Building works Unless you are the last house on the development, it is likely that you are going to have building works going on around you after you have moved in. Affected areas will be fenced off, and the amount of time trades are allowed to work will be covered by planning conditions.

However, you will need to tolerate a degree of disruption until the development is completed.

A five-day respite break with children’s charity CHICKS can make a huge difference to a child’s life

F

rom a beautiful farmhouse in the Cornish village of Tywardreath, children’s charity CHICKS supports hundreds of children to have a break from their home lives For some children this means a break from full-time caring responsibilities or the chance to heal following the loss of a loved one For others five days with is a chance to escape the effects of bullying or abuse, or have their first ever holiday see the sea for the first time feel what it’s like to catch a wave or taste a marshmallow toasted on an open fire Gemma Smith, CHICKS Respite Break Co-ordinator who has been in post for three years, explains: “The reasons for a child being referred to CHICKS can be complex, but those I witness most frequently are down to poverty, caring responsibilities or the impacts of domestic abuse “Coming to CHICKS will often give the child that breathing space they need from their di cult circumstances t gives them the chance to be welcomed into a nonjudgmental environment, where they can have the chance to be themselves, have fun and make positive memories While on a break, children are supported by a team of Respite Break Leaders and volunteers who help as the children

experience a number of new challenges and experiences, including horse riding, rock climbing surfing and making new friends Gemma adds: “The professionals who refer a child to CHICKS are very positive about the impact a break can have lot comment on how the children have so much more confidence eachers for e ample will often say that a child who might previously have been too shy to put their hand up in class will return from CHICKS and stand up in front of everyone to talk about what they did thers talk about improved behaviour or how the child talked excitedly about their experience non-stop on their journey home!” f you know a child who would benefit from a break at CHICKS’ retreats in Cornwall or Derbyshire please contact the charity’s Co-ordination Team who will be happy to discuss the referral process with you in more detail ou can also find out more about the ways to support CHICKS by fundraising or making a donation ore information can be found on the charity’s website
