ocal residents enjoyed a special exhibition in the Control Tower of North Weald Airfield and a replica of a WW1 trench outside.

Volunteers from the Royal Gunpowder Mills helped to manage the exhibition with further contributions from the Epping Forest District Museum and the Airfield Operations Team.

Airfield staff mounted an all-night vigil in the trench as a mark of respect for the men who fought the bloodiest battle in British military history. ey tried on their uniforms as the first members of the public arrived for the exhibition.

MEMORY FROM THE SOMME e commemorations also brought back memories for Alison Mitchell and her family. Alison works for Epping Forest District Council and her grandfather was a corporal during the Battle. Men came from all walks of life. George

The memory of his sacrifice should be kept alive Mitchell joined the Civil Service Regiment shortly after his own father was lost in the sinking of HMS Cressy at the start of the War. While Pam Gardiner’s father was unable or unwilling to talk about the war, Alison’s grandfather wrote about his experiences. In a ‘Memory from the Somme’ he describes digging his with his bare hands, trying in vain to save fallen comrades buried by a direct hit on the trench in which they were sheltering. His diaries are now held at the Imperial War Museum.

Pam Gardiner was among the first residents to visit the exhibition. Her father served in the Yorkshire Kings Own Light Infantry before transferring to the Warwickshire Regiment. He fought on the Western Front and was wounded twice.

He never spoke about his experiences but Pam believes he was deeply influenced by the experience and feels it is 1 0 AUGUST 2016

LIFE BEYOND THE OAK-TREE PREP SCHOOLS

A

s another academic year closes e Oak-Tree Group of Schools is reflecting on its older pupils’ successful applications to join their senior schools as the time comes to leave Oaklands and Coopersale Hall at the end of Year 6.

Group Managing Principal Matthew Hagger comments, “is has been an excellent year and most of our pupils have been spoilt for choice. Between Oaklands and Coopersale Hall, our two preparatory schools, we had around 70 offers made to our 33 Year 6 pupils for a wide range of selective and non-selective senior schools. 9 of them have chosen to move to our ‘all through’ schools, Normanhurst or Braeside.”

Coopersale Hall Headmistress, Kaye Lovejoy explains why Oak-Tree pupils are so popular with local senior schools; “We place a strong focus on the academic subjects and concentrate on English, Mathematics and Science. Our pupils in Years 3 to 6 are provided with a creative and rich curriculum with specialist teachers for Languages, PE/Games, Music, Drama, ICT and Science. We encourage our pupils to be innovative and inquisitive and have a vast choice of extra-curricular clubs.

Our pupils leave Coopersale Hall as well-rounded, confident individuals and this is appealing to senior schools.”

Oaklands Headmistress Cheryl Macnair explains, “Our preparation for senior entrance examinations at 11+ is very thorough. We’ve fostered close relationships with most of the selective schools in the area and we are very familiar with their entrance requirements. Alongside our tailor-made curriculum, specific preparation for 11+ entrance examinations includes practising verbal and non-verbal reasoning throughout Years 3 to 6, mock interviews with the Headmistress and individual parents’ evenings to discuss which schools to apply for and to advise about application procedures.”

Matthew Hagger is proud of this year’s Year 6 leavers, “Our pupils have worked hard this year at both Coopersale Hall and Oaklands, which is how they have been successful. Across the two prep schools, pupils are moving to independent senior schools such as Normanhurst, Braeside, Bishop’s Stortford College, Bancroft’s, St Edmund’s College, Chigwell, Haileybury and Forest as well as state schools such as

1 4 AUGUST 2016

Davenant, Woodford County High and Latymer.” e school has seen a trend of more and more families looking to transfer from Coopersale Hall or Oaklands to one of the other ‘all through’ Oak-Tree Schools to continue their education within the same Group. Normanhurst School’s academic record of achievement at GCSE is excellent and the school boasts an impressive range of curricular and extra-curricular activities for its pupils. Although Braeside only joined the Group at the start of September 2015, due to its impressive academic record there has already been increased interest in places at 11+ and beyond from other schools.

Part-scholarships are available for Year 7 and above at both Normanhurst and Braeside for academic or sporting excellence as well as in the performing arts. n

THOUSANDS TURN OUT FOR AIR FÊTE PROFITS FOR LOCAL CHARITIES Profits from the day organised jointly by the Events Team at Weald Aviation and Epping Forest District Council are to be donated to Voluntary Action Epping Forest for use by local charities and voluntary groups.

S

omething for all the family – thousands headed to the Centenary Air Fête on Sunday 17 July 2016 to celebrate 100 years of flying at North Weald Airfield.

HAPPY IN THE HOT SUNSHINE Beautiful aeroplanes lined the perimeter tracks while a mini-zoo, face-painting, bouncy castles, fairground attractions and charity stalls kept the children happy in the hot sunshine.

Crowds were entertained at the central arena with music, dance, gymnastic displays, stunt bikes, WW1 Re-enactors and presentations.

From ice cream and burgers to North Weald Airfield’s own centenary celebration beer ‘Scramble’ there was something for everyone to enjoy at the Epping Forest District Council-owned airfield.

ROYAL NORWEGIAN AIR FORCE e Chairman of Epping Forest District Council Councillor Jeane Lea hosted a VIP delegation flown in by the Royal Norwegian Air Force on Saturday. Among the guests was Major General Wilhelm Mohr (99), known as the father of the Royal Norwegian Air Force.

General Mohr flew spitfires from North Weald Airfield in 1942 and was joined by a number of British veterans including Air Commodore Roger Topp AFC, the former commander of 111 Squadron, the RAF’s Black Arrows based at North Weald from 1953 to 1957. e Royal Norwegian Air Force Falcon performed a flypast and dipped its wings as it left for the return trip to Oslo.

1 6 AUGUST 2016

MILITARY VEHICLES, RE-ENACTORS & PLANES ere was a wide selection of military vehicles and re-enactors including groups dressed in the uniforms of the First World War. MiGs, Vampires and a Hawker Hunter of the Cold War stood alongside WW2 aircraft including the P51 Mustang and a newly arrived Hawker Sea Fury. North Weald Model Flying Club had miniature versions of several full-sized planes on display. ere were classic cars and motorbikes to admire along with the latest video games to play

in virtual reality.

‘Children’ of all ages also had the chance to sit in the Essex Fire and Rescue fire engine and talk to the paramedics from the East of England Ambulance Service.

HELICOPTERS ere were helicopter pleasure flights and chances to sign up for flying lessons. e Essex Police helicopter made an appearance while the airfield-based Herts and Essex Air-Ambulance returned from an operational call during the afternoon.

SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS e day concluded with special presentations to Air Commodore Topp and Arthur Moreton, a long standing resident and expert on North Weald Airfield who has devoted many years of his life to preserving the special cultural bond between North Weald and the people of Norway. n

The Dresser

A major revival of The Dresser by Academy award-winning author Sir Ronald Harwood starring Ken Stott and Reece Shearsmith.

O

livier Award winner Ken Stott and BAFTA Award winner Reece Shearsmith come together as lead actor “Sir” and Norman, his dresser, in this eagerly anticipated revival of ‘a wonderfully affectionate and intelligent play about the theatre’ The Guardian.

Both hilarious and poignant, The Dresser explores the relationship between two men who are reluctantly and inevitably co-dependent. As World War II rages, backstage in a provincial English theatre, an ageing, once-famous classical actor is troubled. Sir, the last in a dying breed of great English Shakespearean actors, is unwilling to take to the stage to deliver his renowned portrayal of King Lear. It falls to his faithful dresser Norman to rouse another great performance from him, to keep both the show and its star from falling apart.

5th October – 14th January 2016

1 8 AUGUST 2016

Renowned as Ronald Harwood’s greatest play, The Dresser has been nominated for Olivier and Tony Awards as well as an Academy Award for the screenplay of the film. With a multi-award winning creative team of Ken Stott (Rebus, God of Carnage), Reece Shearsmith (The League of Gentlemen, Inside Number 9) and Sean Foley (The Ladykillers, Jeeves and Wooster) this promises to be an unmissable production of a theatrical classic.

Epping Forest Gateways

2 0 AUGUST 2016

hroughout late summer you may notice some new Epping Forest signs going up in key roadside locations. is is the final phase of the Heritage Lottery Funded ‘Branching Out’ project, which in recent years has seen the opening of a new Visitor Centre, e View, in Chingford, improvements to some of the most popular Forest sites, delivery of the Discovering Epping Forest education programme, as well as grazing and veteran tree management projects. e Epping Forest Gateways, which are not actual gates but visual markers, are to be sited at locations beside roads entering Epping Forest. e term ‘Gateways’ recalls the historic ‘gateways’ of the Forest, such as ‘Forest Gate’ and ‘Chingford Hatch’. e idea is that they will provide a sense of arrival into this special ancient woodland and raise awareness of the importance of the Forest. It is hoped that they will encourage drivers to take more care as they pass through this unique open space which straddles London and Essex. By promoting the woodland location, drivers will hopefully be more mindful of grazing animals, wildlife and visitors alike. e design of the Gateway is inspired by the work of a local artist, Walter E. Spradbery (1889 – 1969). Spradbery,

who studied at the Walthamstow Art School, designed posters for the Underground Group and London Transport between 1912 and 1944. Many of the posters he designed promoted Epping Forest and the image selected was part of the early 1900s, ‘Beyond the City’ campaign artwork which was used by the Underground Electric Railways Company Ltd (the predecessor to Transport for London), to promote leisure travel to Greater London and beyond. e artwork has been reproduced with kind permission of the London Transport Museum (www.ltmuseum.co.uk). e Gateways will be located at 20 sites throughout the Forest, with larger signs marking entrances to the Forest from more major roads such as the M25 (Honey Lane in Waltham Abbey, Centre Road in the south of the Forest, Goldings Hill in Loughton and Rangers Road in Chingford).

You may also notice the introduction of similar signage which will be located at the new improved Epping Forest sites which are: Connaught Water, High Beach, Chingford Plain, e View, Barn Hoppitt and Jubilee Pond. is signage is intended to once again provide a sense of arrival and assist with navigation around the most popular Epping Forest locations.

An exhibition of the ‘Beyond the City’ works will be taking place at e View, Rangers Road, Chingford, 13-27 September. n

The campaign offers customers a mix of bespoke windows creations by leading fashion designers, special product collaborations and – a world’s first for a department store – the launch of a fully-fledged theatre complete with theatrical workshops open to the public, rare access to rehearsals and the staging of a new version of one of Shakespeare’s most famous comedies, Much Ado About Nothing.

To create The reFASHIONed Theatre, Selfridges is joining forces with one of the most exciting emerging young British theatre companies in the UK, The Faction. With a reputation for contemporary Shakespeare productions and innovative collaborations, The Faction are the perfect partner for this unique venture. Together, they are offering customers a unique theatrical showcase which premise is to reveal the process behind the production and staging of a play from the first day of rehearsals, to previews, press night and closing night.

Like the famous Selfridges window displays give a theatrical glimpse of what lays in store, the rehearsal process will present customers with a daily insight into the transformation of a play from read-through to performanceready, as well as opportunities to interact with the cast and creatives.

Exciting shopping for holiday extras such as sun screen, flip flops and beach towels, FUN is the main object of the August agenda and work is an incidental and on a minimal basis as respite and relaxation takes preference.

Whilst writing this feature, it’s a beautiful sunny day and I’m sitting in the garden with my iPad. e sky’s blue, a comforting breeze and aside the sound of insects, birds and occasional flight (must be on a flight path!) it’s very easy to just sink into vacation mode, taking time to relax and let all the stress and worry go. Holidays are sometimes deemed as an unnecessary expense but my theory is we all need an annual service. If our boilers and cars merit a check up, surely with all the strains and stresses that most adults endure as part of the daily grind, we should all allow one or two weeks to just unwind, recharge and top up those depleted batteries. Christmas is certainly a break too but is only a week, August affords a full month; plus of course you have the last week of July as things slow down and the first week in September whilst everything revs up and gains momentum. It is not until mid-September that everything is back into full swing.

So what else is needed when preparing to do absolutely nothing? Well quite a bit! It’s worth taking a few minutes to consider your home security and despite most people’s

2 8 AUGUST 2016

tendency to feature their holiday on a live basis, it is probably not a good idea to tell the world you’re away and especially, if nobody else is at home. Facebook is full of peoples’ notes about ‘getting ready… Two days to go… Pictures at airport etc’ which is lovely and great to share with friends and family but sadly, anything on the internet isn’t always seen by those we trust.

Despite security filters and privacy settings, the hardened professional will look for information and easy pickings. Making posts when back is probably a little bit safer.

Travelling can be arduous, especially a flight or a long drive, so charge your kindle (if travelling light) or pack some escapism reading. A recommended title for a long flight or drive is Diamonds and Secrets by Michelle B. Harris and is available on Amazon.com in Kindle or paperback. Just a thought! n

Happy Holidays…

ME London, 336-337 Strand, WC22 1HA radiorooftop.com

RUMPAS ROOM AT THE MONDRIAN, BLACKFRIARS Situated in a glass box atop the hotel, the room gives the impression of being on the top deck of a ship (a theme that runs throughout the hotel, formally Sea Containers House), with a brushed gold bar, plush raspberry seats and a long outdoor terrace. The drink offering is party-perfect: champagne by the glass and fun cocktails. www.morganshotelgroup.com/mondrian/mondrian-london SELFRIDGES ROOFTOP FOREST RESTAURANT & BAR Forest Restaurant and Bar is open with a menu bringing an abundance of fresh, locally grown, foraged ingredients, championing and celebrating the finest British produce.

Bear Grylls Survival Race and Family Festival

8th and 9th October 2016 Trent Park, , North London

Launches in London this Summer!

This summer, London is hosting some truly unique activity days for all ages.

Now in its second year, the Bear Grylls Survival Race and Outdoor Family Festival has returned, even bigger and better than before.

T

he event comprises 5k and 10k Survival Races, a Bear Grylls Kids Race and a fantastic Bear Grylls Outdoor Festival; truly a day unlike any other! Vogue Williams will be the MC at all events and The Bear Grylls Survival Race team will bring to life Bear’s world renowned spirit of endeavour, fitness and adventure.

The popularity of adventurous and challenging obstacle courses has sky rocketed and the Bear Grylls Survival Race takes this concept to a whole new level. Bear says “This is about empowering people to test and extend their adventure fitness, using the type of obstacles that I have often encountered in the wild. We all have an edge, and

this race is designed to push those physical and mental limits, to there & beyond.”

The races are a range of challenging survival scenarios including jungle, mountain, desert and arctic environments, encompassing all manner of physical and psychological obstacles to overcome.

This is not simply ‘another muddy run’ it’s so much more.

BEAR GRYLLS SURVIVAL RACE Lucky participants will experience a range of ultra-dynamic obstacles all inspired by the tremendously adventurous life of Bear Grylls.

The 5k Survival Race is packed with exciting and fun challenges, designed for all levels of fitness.

While a physical element is required, the 5k survival race is also an opportunity for those with limited experience of this type of event to push themselves and make a positive impact on their own health and fitness goals.

The 10k Survival Race is strategically designed to test even the toughest adventurers. Participants will be encouraged to survive by completing the unique survival challenges including (but certainly not limited to) fire-lighting and air rifle shooting. The general aim being to uncover their inner ‘Survivor’ through a series of professionally constructed themed zones.

In London, there is an exclusive 30k survival race with added physical elements (not least the epic run) that are designed to bring even hardened adventurers to their limit of endurance; truly an unforgettable experience for adrenaline junkies.

BEAR GRYLLS KIDS RACE Open to children aged 4-13, participants will make their way through the jungle, desert, mountains and arctic all in one course! A day of fun and thrills, the aim is to provide the same experience

3222 AA UU G UGSU T S2 0T126 0 1 6

for the kids as the adults. It’s also a great tool for parents; a perfect chance to get the kids back outdoors and off their computers to begin their relationship with adventure.

BEAR GRYLLS OUTDOOR FESTIVAL From gourmet pop-up food stalls to a fully licensed bar, there are craft shops, bush survival demonstrations and a ton of festival entertainments for all ages….and for the brave, a bush-grub eating contest.

There will also be race-viewing points within the festival and the opportunity to dabble in some of the Survival Challenges featured in the race.

Celebrating 40 Years of Theatre in London and New York

The V&A is celebrating the rich creative theatre talent of the West End and New York’s Broadway, two world class centres of theatrical excellence.

C

urtain Up: Celebrating 40 Years of Theatre explores the extraordinary range of craft and collaboration that goes into creating awardwinning plays, musicals and productions. The show is a free and immersive theatrical experience taking visitors from the stage, to the design workshops and through the history of the awards to the red carpet.

Curated by the V&A and The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Centre, in partnership with the Society of London Theatre (SOLT), Curtain Up is part of a year-long programme of activity organised

by SOLT to celebrate 40 years of the Olivier Awards (1976-2016), awarded annually to recognise excellence in professional theatre.

Curtain Up is designed by RFK Architects and Tom Piper, the acclaimed designer and theatre maker renowned for his Tower of London poppies installation, Blood Swept Lands And Seas of Red, a collaboration with ceramic artist Paul Cummins. Curtain Up brings together costumes, designs, models, photographs, archival production material, film and awards, much on display for the first time.

Plays and musicals which have performed well both in London and New York are highlighted with costumes on display from Disney’s The Lion King, designed by Julie Taymor, costume designs by William Ivey Long for Chicago

3444 AA UU G UGSU T S2 0T126 0 1 6

and The Producers and Christopher Oram’s costume designs for the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies.

Visitors can see the set models for Matilda the Musical, an RSC musical which won seven Olivier awards and five Tony awards, designed by Rob Howell as well as models from the National Theatre’s award-winning production War Horse (2007). On display for the first time in the UK are set models for the New York productions of Carousel (1994) and Sunday in the Park with George (1983). Visitors will have the opportunity to step into a scene from The National Theatre’s production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, specially designed for Curtain Up. Film clips from notable theatre productions from the V&A’s National Video Archive of Performance (NVAP) and the NYPL’s Theatre on Film and Tape archive (TOFT) are embedded throughout.

Highlights include original costume designs from The Phantom of the Opera

by Maria Bjornson (1986), one of the longest running West End musicals, and the longest running Broadway production in history, shown alongside the costume worn by a recent West End Phantom; a selection of golden top hats from A Chorus Line which won both the Tony Award (1976) and the inaugural Olivier Award (1976) for Best New Musical; a tunic worn by Rudolf Nureyev in Romeo and Juliet which won the Olivier in 1977; and Dame Helen Mirren DBE’s dress designed by Bob Crowley and worn in The Audience, a role which she won both an Olivier (2013) and Tony Award (2015) for Best Actress.

THE DETAILS For more details visit www.vam.ac.uk/curtainup #CurtainUp

Having worked on both Broadway and the West End, I am delighted that Curtain Up, marking 40 years since the Olivier Awards were inaugurated, honours the shared artistic heritage binding London and New York and showcases the wealth of creative talent that brings great productions to the stage on both sides of the Atlantic.

Concours of Elegance atWindsor Castle

The world’s rarest cars in one of the world’s most exclusive settings 2-4 September 2016

Concours of Elegance is bringing more than 1000 of the world’s most exclusive cars to Windsor Castle this September. The event will be a celebration of Her Majesty The Queen’s 90th Birthday, including a display of remaining cars from the very rst British Grand Prix, held in the year of Her Majesty’s birth, 1926.

S

ixty of the world’s rarest cars will gather in the exclusive Quadrangle at Windsor Castle for the ‘Main ’ event, with the highlight a 1900 Daimler 6hp owned by Her Majesty The Queen, first bought by King Edward VII as the first Royal motorcar. Also on display, a car like no other - the 1938 Hispano Suiza Dubonnet Xenia, an art-deco masterpiece designed by Jacques Saoutchik complete with unusual parallel sliding doors and an aviation-themed interior.

From 1958 is another coachbuilt rarity, the Ferrari 250 GT Pininfarina Series I Cabriolet – one of just 40 built.

UGN 3166 AJ U UE S T2 02 10 16 6

Concours of Elegance will gather the British cars that have defined the British motor industry in each decade of Her Majesty The Queen’s lifetime. From the glamorous Bentley 3 Litre of the ‘20s and Rolls-Royce Phantom of the ‘30s, to the ingenious Mini of the ‘60s and game-changing McLaren F1 of the ‘90s, it will be a true celebration of British innovation and engineering.

The Concours of Elegance traditionally tells the story of the automobile from start to finish, and the very latest car in this year’s Main Concours is the one-of-eight Touring Supeleggera Disco Volante Spyder. Based on

CONCOURS DPS ED.qxp__ 02/08/2016 10:24 Page 2

the rare Alfa Romeo 8C Spider, the Disco Volante is hand-crafted from aluminium and carbon fibre.

Sometimes the stories behind the cars are what makes them great, including the 1966 Mini Radford Mini de Ville GT in the Concours.

Bought by Beatle, George Harrison, the car was painted with a psychedelic livery for the film Magical Mystery Tour. Also in the Main Concours is a 1986 Ferrari Testarossa Spider Valeo – the only factory-built convertible Testarossa in existence. It was especially built for Gianni Agnelli when he took over Fiat S.p.A in the ‘80s.

A free-to-view section of the Concours of Elegance will see hundreds of cars from the likes of Ferrari, Aston Martin, Rolls-Royce, Jaguar, Bentley and more line Windsor Castle’s stunning Long Walk.

More than 800 cars will be attending over the weekend of Concours of Elegance 2016, from the UK’s leading car clubs. Owners’ clubs from AC, Aston Martin, Bentley, Jaguar, Ferrari

and Lamborghini will join a host of others in showcasing their cars as part of a free-to-view area of the Concours on Windsor Castle’s incredible Long Walk.

One of the most incredible sights coming to Windsor Castle in September, is a parade of every single Aston Martin ever produced. Organised with the help of the Aston Martin Owners’ Club, the parade will be arriving in to Windsor Castle at 9am on Saturday 3rd September, telling the complete Aston Martin story from the very beginnings to the latest DB11 model.

The Club Trophy will feature hundreds of classic cars from across the UK and the best-of-the-best from the nation’s car clubs. Each club submits their individual Concours winners, which are then judged by a panel of Concours of Elegance experts, chaired by HRH Prince Michael of Kent and guest judges which in recent years have included David Gandy, Mark Knopfler, Jodie Kidd and others. 2016’s judging panel will be confirmed in the summer. The Club Trophy winner car is then entered in to the Concours of Elegance in 2016.

Some of the UK’s best classic car specialists will be exhibiting at the Concours of Elegance 2016, including Nicholas Mee, Frank Dale, Talacrest, Eagle GT, Fiskens, Duncan Hamilton and GTO Engineering. Displaying some of their most amazing models, the Specialists’ Showcase offers visitors to not only admire the cars on display but, also to buy them.

Concours of Elegance has a host of exclusive partners for this year’s event, including AIG, Autoglym, Bentley, Ferrari, Jaguar Land Rover, Octane, RM Sotheby’s and the Royal Automobile Club.

One of the primary aims of Concours of Elegance is to raise money for charity, and this year’s event will be generating funds for The Queen’s Choral Foundation, The Household Cavalry Foundation and Springfield Youth Club Hackney. So far, Concours of Elegance has raised more than £800,000 for its charities.

Tickets are available now from www.concoursofelegance.co.uk with an adult ticket costing £40, and discounts for children.

A variety of hospitality packages are also available.

H

YPOXI-Method®: anti-ageing boost during the menopause for middle-aged women, what used to disappear after a few days with a bit of sport and self-restraint when eating suddenly presses very stubbornly against the waistband of their favourite jeans. For women over the age of 45, this is often an indication of the approach of menopause, the harbingers of which are often incorrectly understood.

During middle age, overall metabolism slows down and the production of female hormones drops significantly. is results in unfamiliar fat deposits on the stomach in particular if diet and activity levels continue unchanged.

Attempting to combat this with sport is often successful in the wrong places. Fatty tissue on the bust and upper arms disappears more quickly than on the stomach, legs and bottom, leaving behind flabby skin that no longer wishes to adapt to the new shape. is is because connective tissue loses elasticity without cease during menopause.

To crown it all, water deposits cause some women’s bottom and legs to swell and set off even slight cellulite in an unsightly manner. is is where the HYPOXI Method® comes in, which tackles stubborn problem areas in a targeted fashion. An innovative combination of compression and vacuum treatment with moderate fat burning training stimulates the circulation of the blood to problem areas and activates metabolism. Fatty acids are thereby taken away and burned more quickly and 4 2 AUGUST 2016

effectively by the circulatory system. Four different HYPOXI® devices offer appropriate natural treatment for every problem area. e HYPOXI®-Coach puts together an individual training plan for every user designed according to their situation and objectives, also giving tips on maintaining a healthy diet. After one to two months of HYPOXI-Training® with three 30-minute units per week, there is not only a lasting reduction in the size of the problem areas, but connective tissue is also strengthened, the skin is tighter and cellulite is reduced considerably.

Anyone devoting extra attention to themselves with this relatively small time outlay is well prepared for taking on daily exercise or sporting activities following HYPOXI-Training®. ese can alleviate further complaints associated with menopause such as sweating and sleeping disorders. is is because exercise increases the distribution of endorphins and thus promotes the physical and mental wellbeing that has to be rebalanced during the menopause in particular. n

Feel Good DENTISTRY COST OF DENTAL TREATMENT

M

any patients avoid going to the dentist because they are fearful of having dental treatment. For others, the actual investment in dental care is a reason for not having the ideal recommended

treatment.

WHAT AFFECTS THE FEES A DENTIST CHARGES? • Skill and experience of the dentist • Private or NHS • Difficulty of the treatment • Time taken • Practice overheads • Laboratory costs WHAT IS THE BEST WAY OF KEEPING DENTAL FEES TO A MINIMUM? e answer to this is quite simple – PREVENT problems. is may sound obvious, but many people don’t actually follow this advice carefully. e “golden rules” are: • Brush the teeth and gums properly twice a day • Clean between the teeth with floss or micro brushes daily • Use a fluoride mouthwash to prevent decay

Ideal Homecare to Keep Cost of Treatment Down

• • •

Use Ultradex mouthwash to avoid gum disease and maintain fresh breath Have regular hygienist gum treatment every four to six months Visit a dentist once a year for a dental examination

SUMMARY Leaving problems to gradually get worse does not cost anything. However, this is false economy because when treatment is eventually required, it will be more complex, time consuming and therefore expensive. Far better to do a simple white filling than root canal treatment, post and a crown for a badly broken tooth.

At Smile Design By Ash, you are assured of the best advice and dental care that is possible. We offer a range of finance options, including 0% interest financing over two years. n

Award winner Frances Furlong Rgn Bsc hons Inp. offers a wide range of treatments for Men and Women

I have aways been very serious about my fitness training which lead me into the fitness modelling industry.

Since competing as a fitness model I personally find the most important part when performing on stage or doing a photo shoot is to have flawless skin.

Being a judge in the past myself, one of the main criteria’s is to have a healthily facial glow. This gives me confidence and allows me to perform better as a result. When exercising and dieting to the extreme to achieve the right look on stage there are a lot of nutritional sacrifices that have to be made, which can cause my skin to look dull, sunken, gaunt, dry and tired looking. This is due to the lack of vitamins in my body.

”

I have been seeing Frances for 5 years now and I can honestly say her work is always first class. She provided me with a bespoke skin regime which helps me with my skin concerns. I am currently having a course of derma rollers combined with Mesotherapy Vitamin injections for skin repair and tightening. Together with my Muscle Relaxing injections I notice that my skin looks glowing, fresh and radiant.

Frances always provides an elite service and will make you feel amazing inside and out. I cannot thank Frances enough for giving me such confidence and having the perfect skin I have always dreamed of.

HEALTH & BEAUTY

STEP BY STEP Approach to Facial Enhancement WITH FRANCES FURLONG

î Žis month I would like to focus on a client case study, often when we see before and after images we have no idea on what treatments were involved in the results, how long it took and more importantly what would be the realistic up-keep in maintaining these great results.

STAGE 1 - CLIENT'S PRESENTING PROBLEMS A 42 year old lady attends the clinic wanting advice on how to look younger and fresher, has never had aesthetic procedures before but knows that her current beauty facials are not enough. States that she is sick of people commenting on how tired she always looks. Feels that her make up does not look good when applied she also feels that she looks older than her real age.

Admits to overuse of sunbeds and loves tanning on holiday.

Does not have a skin regime as such.

STAGE 2 - MY ASSESSMENT 1. Premature aged skin with obvious signs of photo damage, dilated red vessels especially on the nose and symptoms of photoageing: Dyspigmentation and the formation of wrinkles around regions of skin commonly exposed to sun, namely the eyes, mouth and forehead.

- Spider veins on face and neck 2. Wrinkles on resting face to frown, forehead and around the crows feet area, making the brow flat and heavy rather than the more feminine slight arch.

Symptoms of photoageing attributed to prolonged exposure to UV: - Wrinkles deepen and forehead frown lines can be seen even when not frowning.

- (spider veins) most commonly seen around the nose, cheeks and chin.

- Skin becomes leathery and laxity occurs.

- Solar lentigines (age spots) appear on the face and hands.

- Possibly pre-cancerous red and scaly spots (actinic keratoses) appear.

3. Volume loss to cheek area, giving little support to the lower face and a deflated balloon appearance. Loss of facial fat and lines and wrinkles can be easily treated with dermal fillers, with products that can plump up your skin and even stimulate your own collagen production, giving you back the volume you had in your face in your youth without a scalpel.

4. Weak lip border upper and lower making the lips look aged and allowing the mouth area to collapse inwards. Also a small scar to the lip due to a childhood accident also detracts from the aesthetic appearance of the mouth. Loss of colour and fullness in lips.

4 6 AUGUST 2016

STAGE 3 - TREATMENT PLAN 1. To address photo aged skin, course of three derma rollers with light skin peels and Mesotherapy injections full of vitamins, amino acids, peptides and hyaluronic acid.

Treatments to be given every 6 weeks apart and diathermy to help break down dilated vessels on the nose area.

Skin care regime, Suisse products cleanser hydra, serum vital, cream vital, eye vital and a daily SPF 30-50 - no sunbeds on the face!

2. Muscle relaxing Injections to frown, forehead and crows feet to smooth out and relax area, giving a more fresher, less tired look.

3. Dermal filler to support mid face and give a more defined, natural shape to the face, face looks plumper less deflated!

4. Using a small amount of dermal filler to reshape the outline of the mouth, stop lipstick bleeding, mouth looks more supported.

STAGE 4 - MAINTENANCE PLAN 1. After the initial three derma roller meso glow treatments, I suggested a single treatment every 4-6 months apart to maintain collagen. Nose veins usually can be maintained every year if she avoids sunbeds and continues to use the daily skin care and daily SPF protection to stop further environmental damage to the skin.

2. I would advise muscle relaxing injections every four months in year 1 to train the muscles to relax, thereafter I find 75% of my clients can get to every 6 months apart.

3. Dermal fillers that help to volumise the cheeks can last anywhere from 10 months up to 14 months. I find clients who have collagen boosting treatments alongside their dermal fillers and muscle relaxing injections tend to get longer out of their injectable products.

4. Dermal lip fillers can last 8-12 months, clients tend to hold it for longer in the vermillion border (out-line of lip). n

“A Truly Life Changing Experience…”

WORDS BY DEE BROWN

M

aking the decision to change your smile is not something that many people take lightly. Especially for one of our patients Julia. “I had been thinking about having my Smile Makeover done for over 15 years, and finally went for it last summer with Ash and his team.”

Upon recommendation by a mutual friend, Julia decided to visit Ash for a free initial consultation and a mock up. Using white filling material, Ash simulated in Julia’s mouth what her smile could look like with a Smile Makeover. is was the perfect way for Julia to see how we could help improve her smile. “It was overwhelming and very emotional when I saw the preview.” is gave Julia the confidence to go ahead with her Smile Makeover journey.

Julia required a hygiene visit to maintain her healthy gums and some general treatment with Luk before her cosmetic dentistry. Ash and Julia decided the best way forward would be using porcelain crowns as Julia’s upper teeth were worn down. “e preparation work took around 2 months to make sure my mouth was healthy and ready for the crowns. I never had any pain throughout the entire process!”

Since her Smile Makeover Julia is a changed lady. “I have gained so much more confidence since then. I laugh out loud without thinking about how people see me. My career and personal life have changed drastically!”

“I like to call Ash’s practice ‘the teeth spa’ and always look forward to coming back for routine examinations and a catch up with the team who became more like a family to me during my treatment. It does feel like a relaxing meditation retreat rather than a dentist. I can’t thank Ash and his dream team enough!” n

hat if your door was more than just a door? What if it was a state of the art piece of architecture that your friends and neighbours envied! e Panoramic “Slide-n-Stack” folding patio door does what no other patio door can do.

We at Eco Secondary Glazing can show you that if you were thinking of Bi-folds, then you will certainly think again.

Our unique design allows you to open or close just the right number of panels for your needs. Smooth and 5 2 AUGUST 2016

effortless, the Panoramic Doors is an innovative solution that redefines the patio door.

SO WHATS DIFFERENT ?

We looked at the core concepts of how a folding door should work to bring about the revolutionary design seen in the Panoramic Folding Patio Door. Rather than have a series of panels connected to each other with hinges, we have designed a door where the panels move independently of each other. More freedom, easier operation and total control of the opening.

IN-TOTO KITCHENS

M

r and Mrs H recently embarked on a significant renovation and extension project on their new home. A key objective was to create an impressive open-plan kitchen, living and dining area. With an extensive German range of kitchen styles, in-toto Kitchens in Loughton was the perfect partner to design, specify and project manage the installation of this striking kitchen. e client wanted a contemporary minimalistic kitchen, with sleek modern lines. A space that would be suited to both entertaining and importantly function well for a busy family. ese were the key criteria for the kitchen design. e kitchen was specified in one of our newest range of door finishes, the Oxide Concrete Grey. is concrete-effect finish was combined with our low profile handle-less High Gloss White door to create a stunning on-trend grey and white colour scheme. Corian worktops were selected to complete the seamless minimalistic look which included a breakfast bar around the island. e island shape and size was critical in its relationship with the rest of the open plan room, and was specifically designed to connect with the centrally located pillar. e outward facing hob was important to allow the cook to engage with

friends and family when entertaining.

Our clients used industrial style contemporary lighting and metal style stools to complement the concrete island. Smoky grey mirror splashback was specified to be placed on the rear wall along with a shutter unit, for impact and continuation of metal materials in the kitchen. With the use of modern materials and finishes, our clients have found the perfect balance of functionality and contemporary design.

We hope you enjoy discovering your kitchen potential your in-toto Loughton showroom would love to help you put your new kitchen at the heart of your home and help you discover the possibilities for more enjoyable living. Discover the fantastic range of high quality German kitchens from in-toto. n

BRINGING THE OUTDOORS IN: A POOL HOUSE WITH STYLE

T

he Singh family has recently added a pool house to their Buckinghamshire home, providing a luxurious space for relaxation and leisure.

When the Singh family moved into their new house, they couldn’t have been happier. One feature made the family particularly excited for the move; an outdoor swimming pool.

As a keen swimmer Mr Singh was excited about the prospect of being able to use a pool from the comfort of his own home. However, he soon found that the English weather made this difficult. As a result, the Singh family came to the conclusion that an indoor swimming pool would be worth the investment and set about exploring the market.

After extensive research the family soon found themselves impressed by Origin Leisure’s range and ‘concept to completion’ service. With over 35 years’ experience, Origin Leisure handles every aspect of the project, from the initial plans and design, right through the build to when the keys are handed over. e company also provides a maintenance service for all its customers.

BRINGING DREAMS TO LIFE With a keen eye for interior design, Mrs Singh had a vision of how her pool house should look: “I really wanted the build to complement the house exterior and I was keen to bring the outdoors in. We also wanted some extra features to be incorporated into the design, such as an outside seating area.”

Origin Leisure worked with Mrs Singh, incorporating her ideas into the design. With such a clear picture of what her pool house would look like, she was excited for work to begin!

5 8 AUGUST 2016

MANAGING THE PROJECT roughout the project Origin Leisure kept the family updated on progress. As Mrs Singh explains: “I was always in touch with someone and had regular meetings with the project manager. is meant I was able to make tweaks along the way, so my pool house was perfect!”

FUN FOR ALL THE FAMILY e versatility of the Singh’s pool house design means that Mr Singh can now enjoy a swim all year round and the rest of the family have a space for relaxation and entertainment.

After being so actively involved in the design process, a stage that the family feel is crucial, Mrs Singh couldn’t be happier with the outcome: “I feel a huge sense of pride every time I look down my garden at the beautiful space that we have created. It really does have the wow factor! It was great working with Origin Leisure, I felt like my voice was heard throughout the whole process and we really worked in partnership to create my vision!” n

agle-eyed visitors to Loughton High Road will have noticed there’s a new face on the block – e Heritage Window Company has moved in at number 265. is is the latest branch opening for the company which has specialised in the supply and fit of its own brand of slimline aluminium windows for period properties all over the South of England since 1978.

Benenden™ Windows’ unique ultra-slim aluminium frames were originally designed to replicate the minimalist sightlines of traditional steel windows. Fitted with the latest in argon-filled double glazed units, you can benefit from all the benefits of modern double glazing, without spoiling the appearance of your property.

SLIMLINE ELEGANCE FOR PERIOD HOMES OR NEW BUILD Heritage recently launched its brand new Conservation Window. e result of extensive consultation with conservation officers, the refined window features an ultra-slim 39mm section and a polyamide thermal break – which means it’s the slimmest ‘A Rated’ aluminium window available in the UK, exceeding current Building Regulations and suitable for both replacement and new build projects.

A multipoint locking system ensures that windows not only look good, but provide a high level of security as well. e frames are finished with durable powder coated paint, available in over 200 colours. Windows can even be specified with different interior and exterior colours to complement your décor. And Benenden™ frames are cleverly designed to fit direct to brick or stone, or in the majority of cases into existing timber sub-frames, removing the need for redecoration after installation. ere are a range of glazing styles to suit almost any requirement and matching traditional handles and peg-stays complete the period look.

London's rst £150million apartment

for sale in Admiralty Arch overlooking the Mall

A luxury 15,000 sq ft property in London’s historic Admiralty Arch is now on the market with a record price tag of up to £150 million.

T

he apartment in the historic Grade I listed landmark boasts 12 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms and is set to become one of the world’s most expensive apartments. Spanish developer Rafael Serrano, who bought a 250-year lease to the Grade I-listed building from the Government for a reported £60 million in 2012, is offering buyers the chance to this as one apartment, or otherwise will split it into up to four flats ranging from 1700 sq ft up to 7100 sq ft.

Prime London property agents expect the price tag to range from £8000£9,000 per sq ft. That would mean a buyer snapping up the whole residential site paying as much as £150 million, once stamp duty of over £16 million and fees were accounted for. For that, buyers would receive a 250 year lease.

With terrace views span Buckingham Palace, St James’ Park and Trafalgar Square, previous residents of the iconic building on the Mall, include Lords Mountbatten and Hailsham, Winston Churchill and Ian Fleming whilst creating James Bond.

The apartment will have six metre-high ceilings, intricate crests and original fireplaces, antique fittings from 1910, and come with “free” access to private off-road valet parking, a private entrance and lift, a 24-hour concierge service and security and lifetime membership to a private members’ club.

If the Admiralty Arch property sold for £150m it would surpass London’s most expensive flat, a penthouse at One Hyde Park that sold for £140 million in 2014. The same year a five-floor penthouse with a giant infinity pool and its own slide at the top of a new skyscraper in Monaco that overlooks the Mediterranean was put on the market for £240 million.

In New York the most expensive apartment, costing $85 million and taking up the entire 45th floor of the Midtown Manhattan building, included two Rolls-Royce Phantoms, a $1 million yacht, and dinner at a two-Michelinstarred restaurant once a week for a year, plus a Hamptons vacation rental for the summer, and a private chef in its estate agent listing.

Admiralty Arch’s renovation involves some of Britain’s most expensive designers, including David Mlinaric, who has worked on the interiors of the Royal Opera House, the Victoria & Albert Museum and British Embassies in Paris and Washington, and Michael Blair, who transformed the The Connaught and Claridges hotels. Other British firms involved include Linley, George Spencer Fabrics, Arthur Brett, Soane Britain, Collier Webb and Chesney’s.

Mr Serrano said: “We have created a dream team of architects and artisans to care for this historic building which has been part of the fabric of British royalty, politics, history and culture since the 1900s.Admiralty Arch … has always been a symbol of British social and political power and which has witnessed Coronations, Royal Weddings, grand state occasions and Presidential visits. Now it is entering a new, exciting phase as we transform the building into the finest hotel and residences in London.”

Building work is already underway, with buyers being asked to place a deposit now and move in “within three years.” The operator of the hotel is expected to be chosen in the coming months.

“Once inside the property we were drawn to the spacious areas the house provided, we could also see immediately that we would be taking on a tremendous amount of work, as the property was literally a shell.This did not deter us from wanting to live here as we could see the potential to make it into our dream home, we acquired the residence via a tender process and were delighted when we were told that our tender had been successful in securing the property in our favour.

This residence has given us such a spacious and flexible home that has adapted to our changing needs quite effortlessly. For example there is a section of the house which we class as the annexe, as it can work as a separate area to the main household if one should need, this is ideal for visiting guests, a live in nanny, staff accommodation or space for the teenagers of the family, when they want more independence”.
