contribute to the new Holistic Care Centre by providing bathroom equipment, kitchen units and work tops for the new building.

Lloyd said “is has been an incredible journey for me and my family and to see the great work being done by the charity has more than made up for the hard work it’s taking to raise the money.”

Mike Palfreman, Chief Executive of the charity said “e opening of the Holistic Care Centre would not have been possible without the support of our business community offering reduced rates and gifts in kind.

BathWorks for example has been most helpful in supplying products for the centre – our thanks to Lloyd Moulder for this and his magnificent fundraising efforts for the hospice.”

Lloyd is planning another fundraising drive to complete his £10,000 Challenge. On Sunday 26th October he will join in the annual Pumpkin Plod and undertake a 10k walk through local streets.

Bonfires and Fireworks WORDS: AMY HARRIS

FOLLOWING ON FROM HALLOWEEN ON 31ST OCTOBER IS BONFIRE NIGHT ON 5TH NOVEMBER. A GREAT WEEK FOR FUN AND FIREWORKS.

F

or those not familiar with the history of Bonfire Night and to quickly précis, Guy Fawkes, (Guido Fawkes) was born on 13 April 1570 and died on 31 January 1606. A soldier who had fought in Spain (hence changing his name to Guido) he sided with Catholic Spain against the Protestant Dutch reformers. He tried to instigate support for a Catholic rebellion in England but was unsuccessful. Subsequent to his introduction to Robert Catesby, together with other conspirators such as John Wright, omas Wintour, omas Percy, Robert Keyes, omas Bates, Robert Wintour, Christopher Wright, John Grant, Ambrose Rookwood, Sir Everard Digby and Francis Tresham, collectively they devised a plot to blow up the House of Lords during the State Opening of England's Parliament on 5 November 1605, thereby killing all present and also assassinating King James I of England and VI of Scotland. eir intention was to replace the King with a Catholic monarch.

Having secured a lease for the cellar underneath the House of Lords, Guy Fawkes (as a former soldier) was given the responsibility of guarding the explosives, but the authorities had received an anonymous ‘tip-off ’ and searched Westminster Palace in the early hours of November 5th, 1605 and found him there with the thirty-six barrels of gunpowder. He was subsequently questioned (tortured!) – then sentenced to death by being hung, drawn and quartered. However he jumped off the scaffold, broke his neck and therefore spared himself this most heinous demise.

To celebrate the foiling of this dastardly plan - every year, we have a Bonfire Night. Some fires will include the burning of an effigy (named appropriately Guy) but generally, it’s a firework display.

If you intend to host your own Bonfire Night – safety guidance and recommendations can be found on the following Health and Safety website: www.hse.gov.uk/explosives/fireworks/using.htm.

12 OCTOBER2014

Celebrating Bonfire night with family is also fun. You can sit outside with friends and family drinking hot chocolate and dunking toasted marshmallows whilst sitting around a cosy fire. Reading scary stories is also fun and adds to the evening’s ambience.

If looking to go out – local firework parties include: Event: Guy Fawkes Festival & Fireworks Venue: Royal Gunpowder Mills, Waltham Abbey, Essex Date: Saturday 8th – Sunday 9th November 2014 Set fireworks night off with a bang at the Gunpowder Factory. e event will feature the gunpowder plot story with re-enactors from the period, engaging craft activities and the ‘Ghost of Guy Fawkes’ children’s play, all culminating into a fabulous 15 minute fireworks display.

Event: Toddler Twilight Fireworks – Venue: Barleylands Craft Village, Barleylands Road, Billericay, Date: Sat 1st & Sun 2nd November – 4.30pm to 7pm A special evening of colourful quieter fireworks and a roaring bonfire in the farm park, suitable for younger visitors and children.

Whether you are going out on Bonfire Night or sitting with friends or family make sure to have fun and enjoy yourself!

Fireworks are always exciting, lighting up the sky with displays of colour, sparkle and bang – so if it’s cold, wrap up warm and enjoy the spectacle….

OctOber Open Days at the Oak-tree schOOls

T

he Oak-Tree Schools have seen more and more families to choose their brand of excellent independent education over recent years. With Open Day season here again, Coopersale Hall, Normanhurst and Oaklands have been preparing to open their doors to welcome the many hopeful prospective families looking for the best education for their children.

“Parents value the opportunity to talk to our current pupils as they give an honest and impartial view of what school is really like”, comments Kaye Lovejoy, Headmistress of Epping’s Coopersale Hall School. “In my presentation I give a taste of the quality of our education from the earliest ages of 2½ with our ‘Outstanding’ recent inspection report up to our intensive preparation for senior schools at 11”.

At Normanhurst School in North Chingford, Headmistress Claire Osborn enjoys talking to families about the how the school caters for all ages from 2½ to 16. She comments, “e parents and children who visit our Open events are very impressed with the quality of our education. My presentation focuses on the many opportunities available to all ages including the strong academic teaching, extra-curricular clubs and GCSE results. e Head Boy and Head Girl also speak about their passion for Normanhurst and how much they enjoy their learning. Members of our Parents’ Association support the events by giving useful advice while handing out refreshments.

Cheryl Macnair, Headmistress of Oaklands School in Loughton, is used to talking to groups of parents bringing newborn babies to the Open Mornings, as registration for places often happens at the earliest possible age. She explains, “on Open Morning we don’t make many changes to our normal working day as it is important for parents to get an impression of the school as it really is and not as a series of showcase events that some bigger senior schools prepare”.

THE SEARCH FOR KNOWLEDGE – AT COOPERSALE HALL SCHOOL

SCIENCE LESSON AT NORMANHURST SCHOOL

Oak-Tree Group Principal, Matthew Hagger, comments “Autumn Term is always a key time for decision making for parents. Often they are looking at least a year ahead, but we have had occasions when families have toured one week and started the next as spaces do occasionally become available during the year. All three Admissions Registrars have noted interest from families moving into the area from London and outlying areas in the home counties. Clearly these families are looking for good private schools that know how to challenge and prepare pupils for the later stages of their education. Our schools are the natural choice”.

LEISURELY WALKS OR RIDES

Through Epping Forest WORDS: MICHELLE HARRIS

T

rying to get back into a routine after the summer holiday is not easy. e time from October to December is just a few months before everything shuts down again for Christmas and the new year break. Yet so much is expected in this brief period of time…

For me personally, taking time away from the office actually helps to be more productive when working full pelt. No cliché intended but when you’re busy – ‘It’s hard to see the forest for the trees’… and when it gets like this and I’m under a lot of pressure – it’s the forest and trees that help to make the picture clearer. A good walk, large intakes of fresh air and away from the computer helps all the seemingly floating problems to sink and fall into their respective boxes; it all makes sense and heralds a positive move forwards in the right direction.

Loughton and Epping are linked by Epping Forest. e forest is so dense it’s actually more affiliated to nature than its residents with more than ten trees per Loughtonian! Generally the forest is

16 OCTOBER2014

enjoyed more by horse-riders, ramblers and dog owners and for most of us, the road is mainly used as the link between these two areas.

Yet the journey could be more beneficial than the destination. A brisk walk is good exercise, pure air, exhilarating landscape and a sense of back to nature and being remote and at peace within a natural environment, despite the not-so-distant hum of traffic on the M25.

I recommend comfortable shoes or boots as the forest with its mostly clay soils, can get rather wet. Perhaps a walking stick to part the brambles as you walk through; a light umbrella in case it rains and the obligatory warm clothing.

I have a wonderful memory of this stretch of road during a particularly cold and snowy Christmas evening. Driving carefully along the road, I was listening to Mozart and felt as if, I really was in the depths of some Austrian retreat. Turning off the music and opening the windows to allow some cold, refreshing air into the car, for the first time, I was fixated on the forest’s nocturnal sights and sounds: the leaves’ rustling, the call of the vixen, then

Michelle Harris a frightened doe suddenly appeared on the road – afraid and still, her bright eyes staring at the approaching headlights. en she darted back into the forest’s sanctuary and was safe from us human intruders… A sense of sinister foreboding as the road was again dark; allegedly the forest has its own nocturnal secrets… A source of endless fascination - delightful during the day, beautiful yet eerie during the night.

Epping Forest is our special forest, lush and beautiful, scenic and tranquil; full of intrigue and an endless source of wonder.

Great War Exhibition

AT LOWEWOOD MUSEUM MARKS CENTENARY OF THE START OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR

O

n Saturday 13 September 2014, a new exhibition opened at Lowewood Museum, marking the centenary of the start of the First World War. e display will explore how the Borough of Broxbourne was affected from 1914 to 1918. e exhibition, entitled ‘e Great War: Home Life and Service during the 1914-18 War’, first takes visitors back to 1914, revealing how the War was met with initial excitement by many, with huge numbers volunteering to enlist in Kitchener’s army. e exhibition goes on to show how this initial excitement quickly declined as the horrors of war began to show. By 1915, Britain was on full alert as the menacing zeppelin entered the skies.

By the end of 1915, 37 tonnes of bombs had been dropped over Britain and the Borough of Broxbourne did not escape them. For the first time in history Britain faced a world war, with threats from land, air and sea.

From the top to the bottom of society, people stepped up to help with the war effort. is exhibition reveals just this, showing how local people adapted and did their bit, from the role of local women and the Special Constabulary, to the establishment of make-shift hospitals like Rosehill in Hoddesdon.

Exhibits include a collection of diaries written by Stephen Warner, the great grandson of John Warner of Hoddesdon. During the War, Stephen served initially as a Private in the Royal Army Medical Corps, but after a time there he felt that he could not let others bear the brunt of the battle and so became 2nd Lieutenant in the 9th Battalion Essex Regiment where he was served with distinction and was awarded the Military Cross, which also can be seen on display. ese diaries are part of the Museum’s collection and provide an insight into an individual’s experience of the First World War, and at times can provide a harrowing account of what was witnessed.

Also on display is a letter sent from Buckingham Palace to ex-prisoner of war Pte Stewart Graham of 1/19th London Regiment signed by King George V, stating ‘e Queen joins me in welcoming you on your release from the miseries and hardships, which you have endured with so much patience and courage’. e letter is one example of those sent to prisoners of war in 1918, following their release. e Mayor of Broxbourne, Cllr Bren Perryman said, ‘e enormous sacrifices made by those fighting on the front line and those at home, have all helped to shape the Country we live in today and must never be forgotten.’ e exhibition is one of a number of events taking place across the Borough to mark the war’s centenary.

A ‘War Horse’ craft event will take place at Lowewood on ursday 30 October, 12-3pm, as part of the museum’s family fun programme. e exhibition will be on display at Lowewood Museum until 20 December 2014.

For further information, members of the public can call the Museum on 01992 445596, email museum.leisure@broxbourne.gov.uk or visit www.broxbourne.gov.uk/leisure.

Events and activities will take place nationally from 2014 to 2018 to commemorate the First World War and to pay respect to those who lost their lives. Broxbourne Borough Council has organised a programme of events and activities aimed at people of all ages. For more information on upcoming commemorative events, member of the public can find further information at www.broxbourne.gov.uk ■

Play Schemes

A

re you wondering what your children will be able do during the half term? Are you stuck for ideas on how to keep them occupied? Well, look no further Epping Forest District Council’s Play Schemes are here once again and promise to be great fun for all.

Following a hugely successful summer holiday of fun and activities, Epping Forest District Council’s Community Development team has organised another fun-filled week during the school half term for children aged from 5 to 11 years. ere will be plenty to do and so there is no reason for parents to hear those immortal words ringing in their ears, “I’m bored, what can I do?”

Epping Forest Play Schemes are an opportunity for children to have fun, learn new skills and make new friends. Activities include sports, art and craft, drama, indoor games and exciting challenges. e ‘purple people’ (so called because of their purple uniform) are back again to provide young people with plenty to keep them occupied. e autumn half term week (Monday 27 October to Friday 31 October) has an explosive and spooky theme, in time for Hallowe’en and Bonfire Night. All children attending should wear suitable clothing and shoes and bring a packed lunch. A healthy morning snack is provided, however. e Council’s Community, Health & Wellbeing Manager Gill Wallis said: “Even though the summer holidays have only just come to an end, we are planning our next week of fun! As our playschemes are always really popular, I would advise parents and carers to book as soon as possible, so as not to miss out.” e play schemes run daily from 8.45am to 3.30pm and cost £15 or £8.50 concessions per day, per child. is half term they are taking place at Upshire Primary Foundation School, Upshire Road, Waltham Abbey, Essex, EN9 3PX. Everyone is welcome.

BOOK NOW Places are limited so book now to avoid disappointment. You can make your booking on line at www.eppingforestdc.gov.uk at any time or you can call our booking line on 01992 564226 between 10am and 4pm.

If your child enjoys their time at the Playscheme, make sure you like us on Facebook to keep up to date with upcoming events and activities running in the district. e Community Development Team organises a range of different community schemes and events which aim to make the district a more enjoyable and friendly place to live.

Much of our work is delivered with the help and support of local partners such as Essex County Council, the health service, Essex Police, Epping Forest College and local schools. rough these partnerships we aim to ensure all groups and individuals throughout the district have access to long term and sustainable opportunities to improve their circumstances and enhance their experience of life in the district.

If you would like to find out more about our work or you have a community project idea of your own, we would love to hear from you.

You can contact us on 01992 564363 or 01992 564556 or email communitydevelopment@eppingforestdc.gov.uk ■

HOW TO HAVE FUN AT

Halloween WORDS: AMY HARRIS

H

alloween is a great time to party. However, it’s less than a month and where do I begin planning something fun? With so much choice for party, theme, food and fun, Halloween can be as creative or as adventurous as you would like. Better get started ... making lists, researching costume hire companies and also looking in my wardrobe for what could be adapted for another purpose.

Costumes are always fun. Dressing up is always a giggle, especially with friends and family. Traditional costumes for a familiar theme are monsters, including ghosts, skeletons, Macbeth-style witches, vampires and devils. is also includes my favourite costume or ideas for Dracula or Frankenstein. Red lipstick painted at the side of the mouth, fake fangs and pale skin.

Darkening the hair or adding streaks of vibrant colours. However, the costume selection is now so vast, you could go out and see people wearing costumes from popular fictional characters (like superheroes or aliens) to celebrities or maybe even a combination of the two. e best thing would be to hire a costume from a local fancy dress shop; however you don’t need to order a professional outfit in order to have fun.

At Halloween you will inevitably see children in fancy dress or fancy costumes doing a “trick or treat” with their friends or neighbours for candy or chocolate. is can be funny but make sure you keep your doors locked and don’t get fooled by those using Halloween for more dubious activity.

For other families and children, and if possible, Halloween can be about sitting around a bonfire, making up ghost stories, eating crunchy and sticky, toffee apples and drinking mugs of hot chocolate. ere is nothing that stirs up the imagination more than making up spooky stories around a fire! Ever seen the fantastic series ‘Are You Afraid of the Dark?’ As a general tip though, Cadbury’s sell delicious hot chocolate and Sainsbury’s sell a mean toffee apple

22 OCTOBER2014

but nothing beats home-made! ere are plenty of recipes online.

And yes, cosy hat, long scarves and knitted gloves or jumpers are allowed if it’s nippy outside! Alternatively and more comfortably, just sitting in a circle in the middle of the lounge is an acceptable alternative, especially if raining, cold, windy etc.

For readers who are less conventional and more creative, this is the time to decorate the house with pumpkins or pumpkin designs and then watch horror films. Turn out the light, get a blanket to hide under and only peek out when you know it’s safe. However fun shouldn’t be too frightening. You should only watch these films if you don’t get too scared or jump out of your skin when someone (or group) knock at the door either promising or threatening the inevitable - ‘Trick or Treat’…

For the more adventurous and daring you could take a visit to a haunted house. is suggestion is only for the bravest and those in Essex who are not afraid of the dark! Or things, monsters, ghosts or vampires that go bump in the night…..

Louis Vuitton

The luxury brand’s first ephemeral store has opened its doors at the iconic London concept store, Dover Street Market.

Located on the first floor of the Georgian building, the Louis Vuitton store is dedicating itself to an edit of directional pieces from the coveted debut Autumn/Winter 2014 WRTW Collection by Nicolas Ghesquiere, who was appointed women’s artistic director of the Maison in November 2013. The store will also feature a selection of key runway accessories include leather goods, fashion jewellery, sunglasses and shoes. Dedicated Louis Vuitton spaces for the same collection will also be created at the Dover Street Markets in New York and Tokyo.

Louis Vuitton takes over the Dover Street Market London corner window with an exclusive creative concept designed especially for the store from 1st - 15th September, covering the Spring/Summer 2015 WRTW London Fashion Week period.

ABOUT THE LOUIS VUITTON AUTUMN/WINTER 2014 WRTW COLLECTION

This familiar wardrobe appeals to the collective unconscious, stirring our affective memory. We never tire of these perennial pieces; they are faithful friends. Eternally under their alluring spell, we delight in wearing them again and again.

A peppering of original designs shakes up the cosy coterie; these distinctly modern, strikingly stylish newcomers open up the much-loved wardrobe to new pairings and a landscape of possibilities.

Louis Vuitton is a land of contrasts. A time-honoured and noble legacy is kept alive by a yearning for discovery and exploration. Coursing boldly and imaginatively through the decades, Louis Vuitton refreshes the world of fashion with an untiring ebb and flow of retrospective and fresh perspective. Glorious smooth, full-grain leather is contrasted with hybrid materials. Bold, bright colours are juxtaposed with muted halftones.

Hand-crafted artisanal techniques are updated with a high-tech twist.

This initial collection tells a tale of expertise made possible by innovative techniques. It focuses on the highlights and remains open to interpretation. Living proof that today’s “timeless” was at one time seen as innovative. In this collection, the timeless is now.

ABOUT LOUIS VUITTON

Since 1854, Louis Vuitton has brought unique designs to the world, combining innovation with style, always aiming for the finest quality.

Today, the Maison remains faithful to the spirit of its founder, Louis Vuitton, who invented a genuine “Art of travel” through luggage, bags and accessories which were as creative as they were elegant and practical. Since then, audacity has shaped the story of Louis Vuitton. Faithful to its heritage, Louis Vuitton has opened its doors to architects, artists and designers across the years, all the while developing disciplines such as ready-to-wear, shoes, accessories, watches, jewellery and stationery. These carefully created products are testament to Louis Vuitton’s commitment to fine craftsmenship.

ABOVE DOVER STREET LONDON

Opened in September 2004, Dover Street Market is a 1200 square metre store in the middle of London., conceived by Rev Kawakubo of Comme des Garcons. The store covers six floors in a converted Georgian building in Mayfair and houses all the Comme des Garcons brands.

Alongside these sit other specially selected designers and artists. There are no set criteria for Dover Street Market; the diverse arrays of collections include established labels and emerging talents, through to traditional products that transcend fashion.

This month Dover Street Market celebrates its 10th Anniversary.

Rocha has developed a signature style of full skirts, sheer fabric and asymmetric cuts. She didn’t stray too far from that, but this collection still felt fresh and new w..

Other looks were classic Rocha; sheer dresses with bold, floral applique designs in black, white or red.

Footwear is always a highlight with Simone Rocha, too. She’s a fan of a chunky lace-up, often with the focus on a perspex or jewelled low heel.

Next season we’re looking forward to her Derby lace-ups and Mary Janes.

joy of an English country garden on a summer’s day. day. Floral prettiness is tempered by the ‘can do, can dig’ gardeners’ attire with practical pockets and utilitarian shapes. Laser-cut leather and substantial sandals contradict the delicacy of the intricate prints. The Mulberry Girl may be wearing the finest silk, but she remains cool, contemporary, and ready to enjoy herself whatever the English spring weather throws at her...

SORAPOL

Perennial English flowers, hand-sketched in the famous gardens of Kew ew,, Sissinghurst and Great Dixter ixter,, inspire the new season prints. The delphinium appears as a grand monochromatic design on printed silk and lace. For an intricately woven jacquard this pretty floral is also contrasted with the uniformity of garden trellis. The colour palette works with White and Cream accented with Black and earthy Khaki, while rich Delphinium Blue offers a pop of colour.

In true Mulberry style, prettiness is presented with an edge: dresses and skirts are paired with contemporary leather pieces, some with laser-cut perforations, and luxurious but casual lurex wool cardigans. Sleeves rolled up, our Mulberry girl’s style is inspired by the eccentricities of the English lady gardener. Skirts and pinafores with practical pockets nod to a gardener working in an idyllic country garden but ready for anything, tools in hand, unafraid of a bit of mud!

The Mulberry Girl is wearing sandals inspired by classic gardening clogs. These practical and charming shoes are given a beautiful and fashion-forward makeover for this season’s Gardening Sandals, with soles carved from solid wood and criss-crossed leather straps. Natural Vachetta Leather is favoured for its natural and rustic finish; the perfect complement to the lavish prints and fabrics in the collection. Of course, no English country look can be complete without a Wellie, but this is no ordinary rubber boot. The upper of the new Mulberry Garden Wellie features the wild flower design, woven into a rich metallic jacquard.

Sophia Webster Webster “Jungle is massive” For Spring/Summer 15, Sophia Webster played on different interpretations of ‘Jungle’. Finding basis in Henri Rousseau’s fantasy jungle world paintings and Henri Matisse’s whimsical leaf cut outs, Sophia metamorphoses leopard print, jungle flowers and plants with her own signature use of colour and print. Acid and techno colour palettes, coupled with Sophia’s own love of heavy rhythms and underground music, led her to invoke the hedonistic world of a 90s jungle rave. The collection is inspired by rave-wear: feminine clubcolour camo prints, fruity colours mixed with Aztec prints, girly-warrior embellishments and graffiti tags adorn caged booties, platforms and knee-padded thigh-high boots as well as speech bubble bags and fruity backpacks.

VARICOSE VEINS Michael Gaunt is a specialist consultant with over 25 years’ experience tackling varicose veins. He has warned against the dangers of ignoring the problems – or viewing them as primarily a cosmetic concern.

With clinics specialising in treating varicose and thread veins in Harley Street, London, Cambridge, Norwich and Bury St. Edmunds, Mr. Gaunt has treated more than 4,000 patients and he outlines the dangers of dismissing potential problems which could ultimately lead to a host of complications including veins bursting, clotting or even deep vein thrombosis.

He said: “Varicose veins are often considered a cosmetic condition but if neglected, they can result in complications.

“Fortunately, most modern techniques for treating varicose veins are associated with very good long-term results.

“Minimally invasive local anaesthetic procedures can be used to treat varicose veins on a walk-in, walk-out basis.

“This leaves the patient with minimal pain following the procedure, with practically an immediate return to normal activity.”

Specialising in both the Endovenous Laser and Clarivein techniques, Mr Gaunt has built up a reputation as one of the country’s eminent venous experts.

The treatments he offers include foam sclerotherapy,

Endovenous Laser, VNUS and Clarivein – the proven technique from the USA where a chemical is sprayed into the vein, sealing it and preventing the varicose vein from reappearing.

In his three decades working on varicose veins, Mr Gaunt is only too aware that one of the biggest problems is one of ignorance.

He explained: “At least 20% of the adult population suffer with some form of varicose veins. While in the developing stages problems may be cosmetic, they can lead to far bigger concerns if left untreated.

“The condition can deteriorate and a variety of complications may occur, ranging from leg swelling, ulcers and pigmentation of the skin around the ankles.

“There are occasions when veins can burst causing bleeding, or the blood within the veins can clot leading to painful inflammation known as phlebitis.”

“Varicose veins can affect men just as much as they can affect women.

Men tend to cover their legs up more, so the problem may be hidden away and ignored; with some men only seeking treatment when their veins become very large and complications start to occur.

“It is important to target varicose veins before they become a significant problem, as without medical treatment varicose veins always deteriorate, sometimes suddenly, and complications may have a major impact on daily activities.”

For those wanting to discover more, or who may be worried about potential problems, Mr Gaunt offers mini-consultations to perform an initial assessment and discuss potential treatments.

BY ASH PARMAR COMPREHENSIVE DENTAL ASSESSMENT Undoubtedly one of the unique benefits of being a patient at Smile Design By Ash is the detailed and thorough initial dental assessment we offer. is offers peace of mind that any potential dental problems are accurately diagnosed and explained to you.

Certain things like gum disease and acid erosion of the teeth can go on for many years, without the person being aware that there are any damaging problems actually present.

We offer a basic dental examination and X-rays for patients with few or no dental problems – this is normally adequate.

However, if someone is considering cosmetic dentistry, has missing or worn down & damaged teeth, then a detailed dental assessment is required. Our signature 2-hour dental evaluation includes: l Digital Photographs – Photos of your face, smile and teeth for detailed planning l Digital X-Rays - Assessment of the teeth and the surrounding bone l Study Models - Replica moulds to analyze the teeth and the bite l Smile Analysis - A detailed and unique survey of the smile l Oral Cancer Screen - Review of the soft tissues l Bite Assessment – Using sophisticated computer bite recording equipment called T Scan, we can help patients suffering from headaches and bite related problems

l

l

l

Assessment of the teeth and dental restorations – A complete review of every tooth including the integrity and status of all the fillings Gum Health - orough analysis of the gum health including gum measurements, and a scoring system to measure plaque and bleeding levels (to confirm the level of gum disease) Professional, personalized report – A detailed report explaining all your treatment options, with estimates

DOING TREATMENT IN STAGES After the Comprehensive Dental Assessment, getting the gums healthy is a priority. is involves seeing our Hygienist Jessica for one or more treatment sessions. e next stage is to have a healthy foundation for the teeth, by restoring them properly. is is normally followed with any cosmetic treatment that is desired to create an attractive smile to suit the individual.

Finally, if there are missing teeth, then implants or other options can be considered.

We offer interest free finance plans over 2 years. is makes treatment affordable with only small monthly payments.

SPECIAL OFFER FOR LIFE MAGAZINE READERS I would like to offer all Life magazine readers (and their family & friends) who wish to have a Comprehensive Dental Assessment a special saving of £100, i.e. the fee will be only £95, rather than the normal fee of £195. is offer will be valid for anyone who books the 2-hour dental assessment appointment by the end of November 2014. You are also welcome to visit our Practice for a FREE INITIAL CONSULTATION to meet our Team and experience our unique and welcoming set-up.

HEALTH b EAuTy

f there’s one thing that will stop you puckering up with your other half, it’s a nasty cold sore on your lip. They may be small and often barely noticeable to others - but to the sufferer they can seem huge, and very obvious.

The reality is, however, that if sufferers were brave enough to go on their dates, their partners would probably sympathise, as the Herpes Viruses Association (HVA) estimate that by the age of 25, 60% of people will have become infected with the herpes simplex (HSV) type 1 virus that most commonly causes cold sores.

HOW DO YOU CATCH THEM?

The virus is very much a kissing disease, passed on by mouth-to-mouth from someone who has a cold sore on their face.

“It’s skin contact with friction, so you’re more likely to catch a cold sore off somebody if it’s a long kiss, rather than just a peck on the lips,” says Nigel Scott of the HVA. However, as the virus is fragile and dies very quickly when it’s off the skin, it’s only caught by direct skin contact. So there’s no need to worry about sharing cups or towels with sufferers. It can also be killed by water, or getting too hot or cold.

Not all people infected with HSV will develop cold sores as a result, say experts. In fact, only around a quarter of carriers will ever experience symptoms.

“You can catch it and never get symptoms,” says Scott. “Or there could be a trigger at any stage of your life and you get a cold sore.”

WHAT ARE THE TRIGGERS?

Once you’ve caught HSV, it hides in nerve sheaths and can be reactivated by various situations, including tiredness, illness, stress, being run-down, menstruation, too much alcohol or the ultraviolet rays from sunbeds or sunlight.

Some people can have recurrent outbreaks as often as once a month.

Scott says: “If your mouth and lips get very sore if you do something like eat a very scratchy French loaf, if you get very run-down, or something upsets 40

“The immune system would normally keep this virus suppressed, but if it’s really stretched with something else, sometimes it doesn’t quite manage.”

HOW DOES IT FEEL?

There will be an itchy, tingly feeling on or near the lip when a cold sore is developing, and perhaps a feeling of pressure.

This is the time to treat the area, as at this stage it’s possible to stop the cold sore developing, says Scott.

If left untreated, the itchy feeling develops into a small red patch, then a blister, which bursts and heals into the classic cold sore scab, normally lasting around a week.

Sores tend to appear where you’ve been kissed, although they can occasionally recur anywhere on the face. In general, the virus prefers the moist skin that lines the lips, mouth and nose.

TREATMENT

The HVA says the best way to avoid cold sores is to look after

yourself, and those who are prone to them should steer clear of any potential triggers.

GP Dr Phil Hammond, a patron of the HVA, warns that exposure to bright sunlight, which can trigger a cold sore outbreak, is a particular risk for skiers at this time of year, and advises them to use a good sun block.

“A few unlucky people seem to get frequent repeat outbreaks sometimes triggered by stress, poor diet, lack of sleep or exposure to bright sunlight,” he says. “A long-term course of antiviral tablets can deal with this.”

Aciclovir, a medication used to treat a variety of viral infections including cold sores, shingles and chickenpox, is commonly prescribed to sufferers, and some aciclovir creams can be bought over the counter at pharmacies.

Other cold sore treatments include using a herbal cream made with lemon balm, or a liquorice balm, which can help reduce the severity and duration of outbreaks.

Medical nutritionist and former GP Dr Sarah Brewer says liquorice extracts stimulate immunity by increasing production of the antiviral substance ‘interferon’.

“When applied to the lips, it suppresses the production of viral proteins needed to keep the herpes virus in its latent state, so they’re less likely to cause an eruption,” she says.

“When applied to a sore, it promotes more rapid destruction of infected cells.”

FIGHT THOSE COLD SORES

The Herpes Viruses Association has these suggestions for sufferers...

• Start treatment as soon the characteristic tingling starts.

• Apply well-wrapped ice for 90 minutes to cool the area.

• Use over-the-counter creams.

• Apply cold, used teabags to the sore every hour.

• Use tea tree oil or geranium oil to help speed healing.

• Keep the sore moist so it doesn’t crack with a dab of Vaseline.

• See your doctor for antiviral tablets if you have recurrent outbreaks.

“

I have always been conscious of my frown even when I was younger, people said to me stop frowning! However it's easier said than done. That's a natural expression for me and I have strong muscles in this area. I was wary about having muscle relaxing injections, you hear and see a lot of horror stories, I was concerned I would look false and that people would say negative comments to me.

However since meeting Frances, having a thorough in-depth consultation I decided to go for it, I just had my frown treated as Frances said it was the only area I needed. It was not painful at all and after 5 minutes there was no evidence of any marks to the area treated. The results took about 7 days to take effect, but the comments I have had from others who do not know what treatment I have had have been amazing, people say you look really well, or I like your eye makeup. They are not sure what it is about me that has changed, but they say how good I look and that's exactly what I wanted. Thanks Frances I would highly recommend you to anyone.

Health & Beauty Advice Nurse consultant Frances Furlong RGN Bsc hons Inp is an award winning expert in aesthetic medicine, dermatology and beauty. With over 16 years experience in health and beauty, Frances has written for numerous national papers, magazines including Elle and Woman and Home, is a yearly judge for the prestigious Instyle beauty awards and Dream Makeover Essex.

PIGMENTATION AND MOLES e summer is now over and it's now time to think about how much sun exposure you have had, for so many of my clients uneven skin tone, pigment and a dull complexion are all problems they now want to fix after the tan has faded, so this month I want to introduce you to an exciting new perfect skin pigment balancing treatment. Also it's so important to know how to check moles that may have changed over the summer. I have come across a lot of clients who have had moles removed from the back area, it's a tricky area to check yourself so get your partners or friends to check for you.

PERFECT SKIN PIGMENT BALANCING TREATMENT is treatment involves combining the most effective methods to help sun damaged skin and an uneven skin tone. For those individuals with more severe pigmentation a medical grade skin cream can be prescribed whilst receiving these treatments and this will be discussed at your consultation.

STEP 1 A bespoke cocktail of specific alpha hydroxy acids combined with gluthatione is applied to the face and neck. AHA peels work by removing the upper layer of skin cells, allowing younger, healthier cells to take their place. Helps uneven skin tone, increased cell turnover, and a brighter smoother complexion. Gluthatione prevents darkening of the skin and helps reduce pigmentation. It also protects the cells from destruction brought about by free radicals.

STEP 2 e solution is left on and the derma pen treatment starts, it is not painful and feels more like a prickly sensation, it helps to create tiny punctures in the upper skin surface which in turns creates collagen and helps with cell turnover so sun damage and poor skin tone is helped greatly. It also helps the AHA and gluthatione solution penetrate deeper into the skin.

Perfect Skin by Frances Furlon g

STEP 3 Once this process is complete a mask containing vitamin C and Emblica is applied and is given time to penetrate into the skin deeply. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant drug that can be used topically in dermatology to treat and prevent changes associated with photo-ageing and pigmentation. Emblica fruit is native to tropical southeastern Asia, particularly India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and southern China. It benefits the skin as a pro oxidation! Free cascading antioxidant that greatly promotes skin lightening and reduces hyper pigmentation.

Treatment costs £150 per treatment, normally 4 treatments are recommended on a monthly basis course of 4 £450.

How to Examine a Mole Performing a monthly mole check can potentially save you from developing malignant melanoma, a deadly type of skin cancer. The earlier you find anything suspicious on your skin the better, as early diagnosed skin cancer has a much higher chance of being cured. By checking your moles on a regular basis; it could save your life.

1 Select a suitable time and location. The best time for examining your skin is after a shower or bath because you'll be clean and free from any kind of dirt or marks that might otherwise obscure any moles.

2 Check your body completely. Areas such as lips, scalp, tops of ears and your back are areas often missed, you can get your partner or a friend to check your back and scalp, these are both areas often missed by sun cream application.

3 Look for new skin markings that you haven't noticed before.

Changes in mole size or colour and any lack of symmetry.

Lesions that don't appear to be healing and that ooze or bleed.

4 Use the ABC method to examine each individual mole.

Asymmetry: If one side of the mole does not generally match the other side, this could indicate melanoma.

Border:The border should have smooth edges.

Colour: Black may be indicative of melanoma. Red, white and multicolored moles should also be checked by a professional.

Diameter: The size standard for moles is that they should be smaller than the diameter of a pencil eraser Elevation: Moles are ideally flush with the surrounding skin.

Raised moles should always be looked at by a dermatologist, 5Take pictures of your moles or keep a log of your findings.

6 Note any new moles that may arise. These are often suspicious and should be checked by a doctor or a dermatologist.

IMPLANTS… ONE YEAR ON WORDS BY DEE BROWN

I

n November 2013, we introduced you to Alan, a special client of Smile Design by Ash. Alan first visited the practice with a loose upper full denture.

He was tired of food becoming trapped underneath his plastic denture whenever he tried to eat and wanted a stronger solution to replace his missing teeth. Ash and Alan decided the best and strongest option for Alan would be implants. Spring forward to 2014 and Alan’s “new” life continues…

Dee: Hi Alan, we haven’t seen you in a while, how’s life at the moment?

Alan: Fine thanks Dee. I travelled to Austria in August by coach, which was beautiful. It’s an amazing place!

Dee: Sounds beautiful, thank you for sharing your photographs with us. Could you tell me the main benefits of the implant treatment you had with us please?

Alan: Eating. I enjoy my food so much. I can go over the top a bit sometimes! I’m really pleased with the result.

Dee: How has this changed your life Alan?

Alan: I just feel more confident. I can go out for dinner with friends and not be worried about my denture moving.

Sometimes my denture would drop whilst I was chewing which was quite embarrassing but I don’t have the worry at all now.

Dee: inking back to the day we placed your six implants – how did you find that appointment?

Alan: It was very comfortable. I didn’t feel a thing throughout the whole appointment because I was really numb. Andreas is marvellous! I was slightly tender for a few days afterwards, but it was definitely worth it.

Dee: Before we started your treatment we gave you the choice of having an implant fixed bridge or implant supported denture. What are the advantages of having the denture option?

Alan: Definitely. I’m very pleased with the denture. It’s very easy to clean and so are the implants. Jessica, the hygienist has said that I’m doing a good job which is great news. I usually see Jess for half an hour every six months.

ALAN AFTER

Dee: Finally, Alan what are the top three things you like about Smile Design by Ash? Alan: It’s hard to pick just three! OK… the warm welcome I receive at every appointment, and I mean every appointment would be one. e treatment I have received is second to none; I couldn’t fault it at all. Last but not least the tea! e girls make the perfect cup of tea for me every time I pop in, I’m really grateful.

If you or anyone you know is interested in how we can help replace missing teeth to improve the smile and function, please call 020 85000544 for a FREE initial consultation, or visit our informative website www.smiledesignbyash.co.uk

From F rom m the moment the they eyy step thr tthrough rough ough the fr front ront ont door door, r,, the majority of B British ritish homeowners homeowners know kno w that their home is ‘‘the the one one’’. In In fact, factt,, over over half of us have have already alrready eady decided de to pur purchase rchase our dr dream ream eam home less than an hour after vie viewing wing the pr property. roper op tyy. oper

I

t may seem surprising then that, while w wee find it so easy to make some of life’s bigger decisions, it’s often the smaller sma choices that we spend days, w weeks eeks or even months agonising over. Ironicallyy, according to research from swimming pool builder Origin Leisure, w wee decide dec that a house is for us within minutes, but can spend months deliberating whether to make smaller home improvem ements.

We trust our instinct for big decisions, but 60 per cent of us admitted to spending more time w weighing eighing up the pros and cons of the finer details rather than having the confidence to go with our gut feeling.

Gary Taylor of Or O igin Leisure said: “Our 30 years’ experience has taught us that too much deliberating can often be counterproductivvee. A swimming pool is considered a luxury for some and a necessity to others, but what many havvee in common is that hat they wish they’’d d made the decisio decision to add a pool to their home much sooner. Our advice is to listen to your o ins instinct and do what will make you you and your family happy.”

Two families who took the plunge and ne Two never ver looked back ar are re Mr and Mrs Henderson H enderson on fr from rom om Oxfor Oxfordshire rdshir dshirre and Mrs S Shears hears fr from rom om B Buckinghamshire. uckinghamshirre.

The Hendersons are no stranger to building projects. The couple built their beautiful and modern home ten yyears ears ago, an experience that left them less than enthused at the prospect of another home improvement e project. While both had very firm ideas about the standard of finish on the propertyy, the builders had a very different idea.

Mr Henderson explains: “The sad thing about the original house project was that the builders’ idea of finished was very different to ours. The building took over a yyear earr, and we began to think the early enthusiasm was beginning to wane slightlyy. So when we made the decision to add a pool house in the garden w wee couldn n’t help remembering some of the pitfalls.”

Luckilyy, history was not destined to repeat itself. The couple chose a striking bespoke modern pool house from Origin Leisure, who handled the project

from start to finish, and they couldn’t be happier with the final result.

The pool house has stunning tunning stain softwood w weatherboar eatherboard exterior and slate grey roof to compliment the Hendersons home and fit in with the surrounding area. Grey aluminium bi-fold doors open up the building into the garden, bringing the outside in, while the ceramic tiles, a grey washed timber roof and country cream walls finish the interior beautifullyy..

The building, which includes an additional extension with a changing room, sho ow wer room and WC, measures a total of 128m² and includes a porch and store room. Origin Leisure undertook every element of the process, from the initial ideas to planning, construction and completion.

The couple w wer ere surprised at how stress-free the project was, as Mr Henderson explains: “Origin was infinitely patient with our changes of mind, moments of inspiration, and indecisions about detail. The company is very open to innovation and are happ pyy to consider details in length, from pool size to tiling style and the unique roof option that we developed betw ween een ee us.

“Origin n’s focus is on qualityy.. From director to architect, project manager and the building team, the company’s experience shone through. From the ver very start of the project, right through to our first swim, the kno owledge wledge and understanding understa of this long established company pany gavvee us confidence in their numer num ous abilities.

“Origin’s work was bey eyyond ond our expectations. We would recommend them to anyone who wants to have a pool house as part of their home and day to day life.”

Another happy customer is Mrs Shears, who also took advantage of Origin Leisurre’s ability to manage the whole project from start to finish in the design and build of her barn-style pool house.

The impressive 120m² pool house has been designed to blend perfectly with the surrounding Buckinghamshire countryside with a stained softwood dw weatherboar eatherboard d exterior and a charcoal grey shingle roof tile.

Mrs Shears choose bi-folding doors to open up the whole side of the building during the summerr, as w well ell as a bar and seating area, perfect for entertaining friends and familyy..

Since the project was completed Mrs Shears hasn’t looked back and has enjoyed evver ery minute of having her own privvate swimming pool right on the doorstep. She explains: “The finished building matches our home and adds enormously to the look of our gardens, and that’s before you get inside and appreciate the sheer joy of it. Swimming every day is good for your health and it doesn’t get much better than spending ding the early evvening ening relaxing in the pool house with your familyy..”

Both the Hendersons and Mrs Shears are over the moon with their finished projects and happy with the decision they made to add a swimming pool to their homes, helped by the experts at Origin Leisure.

URBAN MYTH

U

rban Myth. Quite an odd name for a company specialising in kitchen design, until you think about it: ere are so many urban myths surrounding kitchen design that it actually makes sense. It’s pure urban myth that there is a particular style of kitchen suited to a particular style of home, I mean, how many Victorian semis have you seen that still don’t have an indoor toilet, a fitted bath or a shower cubicle, mains electricity or a flat screen television? Stands to reason then, that you don’t need to have a traditional kitchen. You can have a modern one if you want. It won’t look out of place, even if your dining room has wood panelling, in this day and age you’re fairly unlikely to be eating mutton curry by gas light. More likely is that you’ll want to embrace the modern trend of an open plan, social household.

You’ll want a kitchen that simultaneously works as a food preparation, dining and social space. Somewhere the cook of the house isn’t hidden away while preparing a meal but kept entertained by the rest of the household. A place to eat, play, relax, entertain, study and well, pretty much do anything you want in, except maybe playing golf. We don’t advocate that in your kitchen.

en there are the back-up teams. Having an awesome and experienced design team is one thing, coupling them with a great backup team however, is quite another. It's these people who do everything else; from creating the computer generated visuals, check measuring, ordering furniture and appliances, ensuring everything gets delivered on time, managing projects and fitters, liaising with builders and electricians, to paying the bills. Oh, and in case you have any problems, we also have a team dedicated to looking after you even when your job is finished. To ensure we’re the best, it’s important that we only employ the best.

We’re not about pressure, we’re about satisfaction: If you’re happy, we’re happy. We are Urban myth.

SO, URBAN MYTH, WHO ARE WE? WHAT ARE WE? We design. We manufacture. We import. We create amazing kitchens for both the trade and consumer markets and we have been doing so for over 30 years. We work differently to any other kitchen design company you may have used in the past simply by offering the same service no matter how much you spend, no client is less important than another, no kitchen less or more worthwhile than the one before.

We think of buying a new kitchen as something of a journey.

Except for buying a home, it's unlikely that you will ever make such a considered purchase. Whether you have already done some research or are starting off blind, we are here to help and advise you every step of the way. e first designer you meet will be your direct contact with us although we will introduce you to other people along the way. e first step is to book an appointment for a consultation with one of our designers. We do this in our studio where we have displays, samples and all the literature necessary to ensure we can give you the best possible choices and give you a good feel of the products on offer. During this meeting we will use the dimensions you supply (whether your own or your architects plans) to talk through possible lay-outs and create a brief from your wish list.

Our membership of the KBSA and Trust Mark is testament to our working practices and qualities. We look after our clients.

AND HOW DO WE DO THIS? Ours is a people business and it's our people that make us. Our directors have a 'hands-on' approach and over the years have put such a huge emphasis on developing our people. We have some of the best professionals in the industry and they have enabled us to continually challenge conventional thinking, to raise the bar in kitchen design and most importantly, build excellent relationships with our clients.

Firstly, there are the designers. ese are the people with the vision, the ones who can really turn your dream kitchen into a reality. Collectively, our design teams experience tops out at over 140 years, and it really shows. ey know the pitfalls and so avoid them, they know what works and what doesn't, and they know what you're looking for even while you still might be unsure. In short, there really isn't much these guys don’t understand about kitchen design.

rOydOn “it was the fabulous location that sold this home to us, we are discreetly situated at the end of a private drive.

Once through the electric gated entrance you get a great sense of seclusion, providing us with a secure and private environment in which to live. there are so many aspects of this home that impressed us, from having five bedrooms and the accommodation being on one level that we have really enjoyed compared to our previous homes being over two stories, to the home being positioned around the pool and patio area, which is great when entertaining.

Whilst living in a small village, the landmarks, theatre land and the hustle of bustle of London are very accessible with roydon rail Station being only a short 0.6 miles walk away with a fast train service into Liverpool Street Station, meaning we can be in London in around 30 minutes.”
