useum galleries sprang to life in an enchanting dance exploration called On the Move. Dancers performed to over 200 visitors at Epping Forest District Museum on 30 April 2016.

Students from the Waltham Abbey-based DNA Studios performed dance interpretations by Choreographer in Residence, Elysia Tebb. Dances were inspired by the themes in the temporary exhibitions gallery, On the Move. e group performed this piece before dispersing around the museum where they performed their own individual pieces, offering a new and slightly different take on the interpretation of the galleries displays.

REOPENING CELEBRATION e performances were a celebration of Epping Forest District Museum’s reopening after its Heritage Lottery Funded refurbishment and expansion.

INNOVATIVE PERFORMANCE Speaking about the project, Epping Forest District Council’s Dance Engagement Officer Vanessa Gayton said: “e On e Move Dance project finds both the Museum and DNA Performing Arts students experiencing

COMMEMORATING 100th Anniversary of the Battle of the Somme

A

s part of the national commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the first day of the Battle of the Somme in 1916, EFDC is holding an overnight vigil on the grass in front of the Control Tower at North Weald Airfield.

It will begin at sunset with the lighting of a symbolic brazier set next to a section of trench and

guarded by re-enactors dressed as World War 1 soldiers. ey will maintain the brazier through the night. At 04:15 an ecumenical service will be held to remember the sacrifice and honour the dead of the battle which lasted from July until November.

When the sun starts to rise at around 04:45 a sound and light show will reproduce the noise of battle at the time the troops went over the top to the sound of officers’ whistles.

Food and drinks will be available along with ample parking and toilets in the Tower. e trench will be in place for several weeks to allow local schoolchildren and the community to experience a small part of what it would have been like as a soldier in the front line during World War 1. e Gunpowder Mills at Waltham Abbey will loan their collection which will be on display in the Tower.

More information regarding this and other events will be posted on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/northwealdairfield.

(It is recommended to keep an eye on the Facebook page and/or website in case of any changes in times).

Everyone is welcome to attend this free event.

ACADEMIES VS PRIVATE SCHOOLS as, even after some 15 years, it isn’t clear whether academies actually increase academic standards. With classes this large it is difficult for teachers to really know each pupil and any additional needs on a personal basis.

Pupils at Normanhurst School, North Chingford

The topic of state schools turning into academies is very current.

With many local parents concerned about the transition, we look at the strengths of choosing a privately-owned independent school over an academy.

ACADEMIES

I

t was a Government directive to convert all state schools into academies until the recent announcement by the Chancellor downgrading this to more of an aspiration.

Academies are state-funded schools that receive their funding directly from central government, rather than through a local authority. e day-to-day running of the school is with the head teacher or principal, but they are overseen by academy trusts and may be part of a chain.

Academies control their own admissions and have more freedom to use non-Local Authority approved services.

With a lack of guidance and support from the Local Authority and sudden responsibility of finances and curriculum, many new academies have been struggling and some have even closed. Staff have been worried about the changes with fears regarding future pay and conditions, together with the inevitable extra workload with curriculum developments and concerns about securing future employment if their academy moves away from the National Curriculum.

At the grass roots, class sizes are still very large – most in their 30s. Many parents are concerned about acadamisation

1 8 JUNE 2016

THE OAK-TREE GROUP: A PRIVATELY-OWNED GROUP OF LOCAL SCHOOLS More and more families are choosing private education instead of going with the state. One of the most important factors that parents consider is the size of the school. Smaller, nurturing environments offer a more personalised service but can small be too small?

Individually the Oak-Tree Group’s schools cater for between 200 and 300 pupils per site, providing smaller environments in which children can flourish. Collectively, however, the strength of numbers with over 1000 children ensures that resources are readily available to continually enhance the education and provide further opportunities for academic excellence.

With average class sizes of between 15 and 20, a more personalised education is possible with each child treated as an individual. Teachers know each child well and can provide support and challenge in each lesson. Over 300 teachers, keyworkers, specialists and support staff are employed by the Group, so there is an extremely high level of expertise, knowledge and shared resources.

Pupils get together frequently within the Group for shared learning experiences, extra-curricular activities or inter-school competitions.

Popular events include the Oak-Tree Year 3 overnight Camp, the Oak-Tree Art Exhibition, the biennial Oak-Tree Performing Arts Festival and entertainment for families with the Group Fireworks Display and parents with the Group Summer Ball.

Pupils at Braeside School, Buckhurst Hill So perhaps the new chains of academies can learn a thing or two from this successful Group of local private schools, which has long since established the excellent practice that academies strive to achieve. n

QUINTESSENTIAL ESSEX IN CHIPPING ONGAR

T

he name Chipping Ongar has such a lovely ring to it. It feels quaint, very English, rural and tranquil. A small market town within the civil parish of Ongar in Epping Forest, conveniently located for various regions covered within this magazine’s, readership remit. Only 5 miles from Epping and 6 miles from Brentwood, a pleasant ride during the imminent summer months would be to Chipping Ongar.

Aside its aesthetic appeal, the area also has an interesting history. ere has been evidence of a Roman settlement.

Originally the town was known as ‘Castle Ongar’ because of the remains of a Norman ‘Motte and Bailey’ built around the 11th or 12th century. e motte or mound has a base diameter of 70 metres and is surrounded by a wet ditch up to approximately 15 metres wide. e castle may have been built by Eustace II, Count of Boulogne in 1086 and it enjoyed royal patronage from Henry II in 1157 when the castle was owned by Richard de Lucy.

Probably the most famous resident of Chipping Ongar is the 19th century missionary and explorer, David Livingstone. Dr. Livingstone is probably most famous for that renowned greeting when discovered by Sir Henry 2 0 JUNE 2016

Morton Stanley, who was searching for the Scottish missionary in Central Africa. Upon their rendezvous Sir Stanley uttered those words: “Dr. Livingstone, I presume?”

A plaque above the archway leading to the United Reformed Church commemorates David Livingstone’s residence.

Chipping Ongar also has some famous literary connections. e author of ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’, the popular English lullaby was written by Jane Taylor. e poem is written in couplets and has five stanzas. It was first published in 1806 and is sung to the tune of the French melody "Ah! vous dirai-je, Maman.” Jane Taylor died of breast cancer at the age of 40 and is buried in Ongar churchyard. e town is also featured in Will Self’s, ‘e Book of Dave’. Knowleton Hall is the most famous estate in Ongar due to its interesting history.

If looking for an exciting and fun excursion for all the family, there’s the Epping to Ongar Railway steam train.

As the weather improves and we slip into spring – it’s great to enjoy the outdoors without having to travel too far…n

CHANGING CHILDREN’S LIVES CHARITY CAMPAIGN Ash’s fundraising vision continues Our eagerly awaited charity fundraising event draws close with just a few tickets left to sell. It’s going to be a fabulous occasion when we hope to exceed our target of £20,000!

This month celebrates Volunteers Week 1st-12th June. Christine Baker takes a look at the important role played by volunteers and their support for charities.

H

aven House Children’s Hospice is saying thank you to all the volunteers who support their work.

By giving their time volunteers are helping to make a difference to the lives of local children and families who are supported.

Volunteering at Haven House is completely flexible as they know that people have busy lives so giving just an hour, a couple of hours, or a day is sometimes all that’s needed.

Volunteers are essential to their work so it’s vital they are given all the support and information they need.

Support is needed in many ways, whether it's gardening, administration, helping out at events, there is something for everyone.

Sylvia said “I have been helping out for ten years and started as our eldest son stayed at the hospice for respite care. I've done all sorts from driving, helping at events, picking up collection boxes and even helping in the shop. When I think of the help we received as a family at Haven House I would recommend getting involved to anyone.’

Volunteering at Food for Life Vrindavan (FFLV) is a great opportunity for people around the world to share their skills and help the charity that provides clothing, medical services and a better environment for the poorest of the poor. e school is open all year round with volunteers from July until March. ere is no fixed number of months or days one 2 2 JUNE 2016

can volunteer, it can be a day, a month, even six months or more. It’s best to avoid the summer months as it’s very difficult to work in the heat. ere are a range of volunteering roles on offer from assisting teachers, admin and support to helping out at the Cow Shed.

Francesca, from Italy said “I have been volunteering at FFLV for a week and half now. I can just say that every day is like the first day. e children steal your heart with their positive look towards life and with their huge smiles.

Teachers, employees and all the staff members are so gentle and willing to help that I cannot ask for anything more. I am supposed to help here, but with all this kindness they are helping me.”

You can help Ash to help others – come along to the event or make a donation. n

SPRING, HOME MAINTENANCE AND BEING A TEA LADY WORDS: MICHELLE B. HARRIS

D

uring the winter we’re cosy at home but when the sun’s shining, we all want to get out and play. BUT - this is also when you notice your home merits urgent exterior maintenance and attention.

Perhaps a glance up at the roof to see if winter storms might have loosened a tile or two, does the guttering merit some extra reinforcement? Chores normally include the front lawn, power jetting patios, weeding, etc. As one job finishes another one looms; it’s endless!

Fortunately and living in Essex there are many trades personnel who can help us look after our homes/offices etc. but there is something liberating about just doing it yourself. Very few of us actually have the time or even the inclination but knowing you don’t have to wait in and pray for a sunny day when the gardener’s due, can be a relief.

As a lone female unfortunately when workmen are doing their jobs, I often feel as if I’m in a time warp of ‘oooooh would looooove a cup of tea’ then the obligatory half-an-hour tea break whilst hot drink is consumed.

Workmen don’t expect men to supply copious amount of beverages but somehow if it’s a woman and you’re based from home, work isn’t perceived as a profession but a hobby without pressing deadlines, financial or corporate responsibility.

I have tried to drop a hint: Urn of hot water, box of tea bags, jar of coffee and carton of milk strategically placed

2 4 JUNE 2016

on the kitchen worktop. I embellish with nourishing accompaniment of delicious bikkies including firm favourites such as Bourbons, Jammie Dodgers and chocolate digestives but sadly untouched by strangers’ hands despite the aesthetic appeal. Sadly, I am invariably ‘promoted’ from writer to tea lady but it doesn’t stop there; the crowning glory has to be when I received a request for a selection of sandwiches, fried eggs on toast or omelette with an excuse of ‘whatever’s easiest.’ Tempting though it is to say ‘duh… no’, I can’t help it but smile, fake enthusiasm and deliver… I succumb and hope the end result of their day’s work will be enhanced by a full belly and bladder. It would be easier to just do the job myself.

So this weekend, it’s to B&Q to look for some paint, fencing, bricks to make a barbecue, patio cleaner and some rubber gloves to keep my hands soft and nails pristine!.. n

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

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.

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

Before

After being told by a Consultant Dermatologist in the NHS that I had prematurely aged and damaged my skin by 20 years older than my actual age, I was devastated. I always enjoyed having a year round tan so regularly used sunbeds. My reason for being with the Dermatologists was to receive treatment for skin cancer, thankfully I was treated successfully, as you can imagine I wouldn't dream of using a sunbed again!

However once my tan had faded, I looked in the mirror and didn't like what I saw looking back at me, tired, dull lifeless skin, deep lines in my forehead and a heavy looking face.

”

I was recommended by my work colleague to see Frances Furlong of Perfect Skin. Frances specialises in facial aesthetics and I certainly needed a whole face and skin makeover. I was very impressed with my consultation and Frances gave me a realistic plan and timeframe to achieve my desired goals, as you can see from my results I have achieved a lot in 6 months.

I am now a client for life, thank you Frances.

Chateau Lou Casteou

Nestled in an exclusive enclave in the French Riviera’s Esterel Mountains sits Lou Casteou, the beautiful historic chateau. Meaning ‘The Chateau’ in old Provençale French, the chateau was built by the British Lord Amherst of Hackney in 1904 LMQWIPJ ER EÁGMSREHS SJ ERXMUYMXMIW JYRHMRK XLI Howard Carter expeditions to Egypt.The luxury residence was then lovingly restored to its former historical glory by Chris and Morag McLaren Baxter, who added touches of modern sophistication suitable for the corporate and leisure guest.

T

he property, available for private hire, is ideal for conferences, formal events, launches and special holidays - enjoying a home cinema seating 40, board room facilities, heated outdoor pool, and commercial kitchen. Accommodating up to 32 guests in luxury, Lou Casteou’s inside and outside reception areas host special events for up to 200 people. Situated between Cannes and St. Tropez, the elite estate’s hillside locale enjoys breath-taking views of the ocean and picturesque villages below.

And Chateau Lou Casteou’s new luxury fitness retreat Body Tonic, is perfectly designed for those looking to have fun, feel good and get fit. The stunning chateau provides an ideal setting for the five-day break – being beautifully furnished and irresistibly luxurious. The next Autumn Body Tonic event dates are Wednesday October 12th to Sunday October 16th at Chateau Lou Casteou, Cote d’Azur, France.

The programme delivers a balance of energetic workouts, latin dance sessions, nutritious food, relaxation and fun. Designed to accommodate all ages and fitness levels, activities are led by a team of skilled personal trainers and expert dancers, keen to help improve fitness, boost confidence and build strength. Body Tonic’s fitness sessions are challenging, satisfying and enjoyable – a variety of intense stretching, challenging cardio classes, swimming and yoga. Kick-boxing, TRX training, watersports and mountain treks are also encouraged. Classes make the most of the chateau’s scenic location, with for

example stretching taking place by the swimming pool, circuits in the cloisters and TRX training, amidst the chateau’s surrounding woodlands.

Meals are also taken in Lou Casteou’s gardens, which overlook the sea.

Though all food served is nutritionally balanced and low in carbohydrate, flavour is by no mean compromised – chef Jonathan Levy produces mouthwatering gourmet meals every day, designed to fuel Body Tonic’s intense exercise programme and promote general well-being. Guests can enjoy a well-deserved three-course dinner every evening, with exquisite French wine, while they socialise, relax and improve their salsa.

Lou Casteou has a comfortable and friendly atmosphere, ideal for boosting confidence and providing a supportive environment in which to challenge yourself to work harder and get the most out of your body.

Chateau Lou Casteou also runs five-day tennis academies, with professional coaches, daily coaching sessions and weekly tournaments, held throughout the year. The retreats offer a high standard of tennis coaching and match strategy sessions each morning, led by skilled English and French coaches, with tournaments played during each afternoon on hard and clay courts.

Feel Good DENTISTRY Enjoying comfortable dentistry DENTAL ANXIETY How many readers of this magazine are anxious of going to the dentist? It may be due to a bad experience when you were younger, painful treatment, the clinical environment and “the smell of the dentist”, or some other reasons. Smile Design By Ash offers a fresh alternative, ensuring your visits can actually be enjoyable, and the treatment comfortable.

A UNIQUE SET UP Our unique dental practice on 6 Chigwell Rise has a spa-like ambience that makes you feel welcome and relaxed.

Our highly trained staff are friendly and very caring, committed to look after you in every way possible. ese two things alone will make the biggest difference to you, if you choose to change to us.

NUCALM is is an innovative technique to make you feel relaxed and sleepy in a natural way. A four-step process will ensure that you are calm in about 5-10 minutes, after which you will be able to have the dental care that is required much more easily. Very few dentists in the UK have this special technology to help nervous patients.

PAINLESS DENTISTRY We take a lot of care when making an area numb. Powerful topical anaesthetic numbs the gum first. We then use warm local anaesthetic and introduce the solution very slowly and carefully in to the gum, making injections very tolerable and comfortable.

Problem Areas on the Body WITH FRANCES FURLONG

O

ver the years there has been a growing trend to not only rejuvenate the face and neck but to address specific body concerns using non surgical methods. People are aware that a smoother and more plumper face will not look right against an ageing chest area or wrinkly hands, as they are tell tale signs of the ageing process.

1. No matter how fit and active we are, or how carefully we watch what we eat, many of us have stubborn areas of fat that just will not go away.

It may be your tummy, love handles, back, hips or even the dreaded cellulite.

Liposuction works well for larger areas BUT can cause a great deal of pain and bruising. Laser lipolysis is an excellent alternative for anyone who doesn’t want the risks of surgery and has small areas of fat they want to get rid of. But a non surgical way called Mesotherapy has also been shown to be able to get rid of fat and cellulite on the stomach, thighs and buttocks as well as the dreaded bingo wings. Just like any treatment though, these treatments can not be seen as a quick fix, exercise and a sensible balanced diet must be adhered to, to help aid the results and more importantly maintain them. I combine Mesotherapy micro injections with body skin needling which contains fat burners, body contouring serums, draining and cellulite improving medication to help reshape and tone the areas of concern.

2. If your skin is beginning to show the tell tale signs of ageing, then it may be time to go under the needle. Sagging skin, especially on the inner upper arm is a problem area for a lot of women and the tone of the skin texture to the abdomen, due to age, weight loss, weight gain and pregnancy. I get great results with Restylane vital or derma pen with Mesotherapy body tightening Injections.

So many women have slim and toned bodies but the skin simply hangs and looks very ageing. ree sessions every four weeks apart gets you amazing results.

3. Saggy baggy knees! e dreaded combination of loose skin to the thigh above the knee cap and the skin to the knee cap itself make women feel too self conscious to show their lovely legs. Or they will only wear dresses or skirts below the knee. Surgical options are a Knee lift, but will leave scarring.

I get great results with dermal filler for greater amounts of volume loss it helps to fill out the area and make the skin smoother. For smaller areas light hydration filler boosters with derma pen treatments can help tighten the loose skin and make you finally feel proud to show your knees off.

4. 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,

5 0 JUNE 2016

giving you back the volume you had in your face in your youth without a scalpel. Fillers can also be used to re-shape your nose or give definition to your chin or jaw-line without the need for surgical implants. If laughter lines or frown lines are making you look weathered then muscle relaxing injections can help in erasing the line in a matter of days and giving you an instantly younger, fresher and smoother looking face.

5. Rejuvenate your chest skin and the backs of hands to get rid of dark patches of sun damage or pigmentation or improve skin conditions such as acne and rosacea. ere are a number of choices available from chemical peels, microdermabrasion to laser and IPL, derma roller and meso glow that can give you back the skin of your youth.

6. As well as specific treatment options, body brushing, exfoliating and keeping skin moisturised daily will help you achieve a softer smoother younger looking skin. Invest in a good nourishing body cream and try a specific body contouring serum to help target specific areas to improve cellulite. n

“ASH HAS GIVEN ME THE CONFIDENCE TO SMILE AGAIN…” WORDS BY DEE BROWN

O

ne of the biggest compliments is when a current patient refers their close friends and family members to the practice for dental care, and that’s exactly how Helen first came to know of Smile Design by Ash. “I found out about Ash from a friend of mine who knows Ash. As soon as he told me about the practice, I had a look at the website to see for myself. I was really impressed as it was very informative.”

Unhappy with her smile, Helen decided to visit the practice for a free initial consultation. After a chat over coffee, Helen made the decision to have a comprehensive assessment with Ash. e full assessment gave him the detailed measurements and records needed to plan Helen’s treatment. “As a dentist Ash is extremely professional, as soon as I talked to him about what I wanted and we discussed everything I couldn't wait to start my treatment.

I trusted him completely.”

Ash and Helen decided the best way forward was some general hygiene appointments to create a healthy foundation before creating a beautiful, natural smile using ZOOM teeth whitening and four new upper porcelain crowns.

Fast forward a few months and Helen’s treatment is now complete. “My end result is better than I ever imagined. Ash has given me the confidence to smile again.

I used to shy away from the cameras, but now I just have a permanent smile on my face!”

“My treatment went extremely well, in actual fact far

better than I had anticipated. All my treatments were as comfortable as they possibly could be. Ash and his team do everything they possibly can to make this happen. My experience was pleasurable from start to finish and I would definitely recommend my family and friends to the practice!’ n ARE YOU EMBARRASSED OR WORRIED ABOUT YOUR SMILE?

HOUSE & GARDEN

Indoor styles outdoors

Our customers want design-led furniture in their gardens and outdoor spaces that reflects the style and quality within their homes. Sun shining or not, our gardens are now another room to enjoy and be proud of so I hope we have inspired you with a range of designer pieces never before showcased in the UK in our new ‘Chaplins Outdoor Living’ department.

SAYS SIMON CHAPLIN

A

s one of Britain’s foremost and largest contemporary furniture shops, Chaplins has recently opened a brand new outdoor living shop at its flagship showroom in Hatch End, Middlesex. Outdoor furniture has come a long way since the old metal and plastic furniture of years gone by. Outdoor rooms are now seen as an extension of our home and as comfortable places to relax and entertain.

With this in mind Chaplins offers outdoor furniture ranges with the same levels of style, quality and comfort as their extensive range of furniture for indoors.

Designed by Daniel Pouzet and Fred Frety, ‘Nestrest’ is a hanging pod offering a secluded suspended sanctuary and unusual meeting place for open-air conversations.

Chaplins reports the strongest sales of the ‘Garden Kitchen’ from Röshults whose UK Sales Manager comments “as the outdoors has become more fashionable, people increasingly want a kitchen area as well as a dining and living area in their garden”. e luxury barbecues won the Milan Furniture Fair’s design award and come with food preparation areas of the same height including: sideboards, trolley and kitchen sink.

Well-lit outdoor spaces are a wonderful way to embrace warm summer nights but traditional floodlights are being replaced with illuminated objects from garden pots to LED lit sofas and tables which create a truly magical atmosphere and provide an alternative and subtle approach to adorn, embellish and enhance our outdoor spaces. e Gregg outdoor lamps at Chaplins are captivating 5 6 JUNE 2016

sculptures of light which create a beautiful and impressive setting for evening entertaining.

With new build apartments now almost always incorporating outdoor space by way of balconies, the Chaplins outdoor living showroom also offers small and compact, practical outdoor furniture such as new stylish and colourful foldable deckchairs to give a pop of style and colour to adorn the smallest of spaces. e new Outdoor Living Shop at Chaplins showcases the most expansive selection of luxury high-end furniture for outdoors available in the UK; from sofas, kitchens and loungers through to an array of outdoor lighting designed by the world’s leading designers such as Philippe Starck and Patricia Urquiola to include brands such as: B&B Italia, Gandia Blasco, Gloster and Paola Lenti. n

HOUSE && GARDEN GARDEN HOUSE

Serve up a luxury dining experience

BY GABRIELLE FAGAN

Our dining dreams are getting grander, and a ‘proper’ dining room is becoming increasingly popular, as we rediscover an appetite for lingering over meals and savouring the opportunity to connect and socialise with loved ones.

A

lmost 60% of us prefer dining areas to be a separate room, and hankering for more formality appears to be in tune with a general change in attitude to mealtimes. TV dinners on the couch are falling out of favour, with 50% of parents making a ‘conscious effort’ to gather the family together for at least one meal a week.

With increasingly busy lifestyles, the dining experience can be a welcome break from everyday stress and a chance to reconnect with family members and friends. Not only this, a separate room allows us to temporarily remove ourselves from the post-meal clean-up, which often looms over diners in open-plan kitchen and dining areas.

Britain has also turned to the ‘big night in’ trend – inspiring a dinner party revival. We all wish to make more of dining, and a beautifully furnished space where we can fully enjoy the moment. If your dining area’s looking a bit dull, or your dining room rarely used, it’s time to revamp the space. No matter what’s on the menu, this should be a space to suit every occasion...

DOWNTON DINING Separate dining rooms are spaces where you can truly play with decor and conjure stately home grandeur (butler optional).

This is no longer a room used only for special occasions - it’s the main gathering point for the

family and where people lavish a lot of care and attention getting the decor and furnishing right. They want dressers, a console table, wine racks, decorative lighting and accessories such as mirrors. It’s all about creating a stylish sanctuary which combines a cosseting, comfortable atmosphere - essential so you can enjoy a meal - with practicality and good storage.

TIPS: Round tables generally suit smaller groups better, allowing for intimate gatherings. Avoid large vases or flower arrangements in the middle of a table, as they can form a barrier and discourage interaction.

MODERN TASTE The essential ingredients for this recipe are streamlined tables and chairs and a pared-back approach, so clutter is minimal. Dining spaces are one of the hardest working zones in the home and have huge potential when it comes to style. You can opt for sophisticated glamour, think generous tables and overhanging pendant lighting in a combined kitchen/dining area which will make the eating area a stunning focal point. Bench seating has come a long way from the schoolroom and can take up less space than individual chairs and looks more modern. Just add cushions for essential comfort!

TIP: Lighting is key - ensure it is sufficiently bright for everyday meals (or tasks like homework) but have dimmers to create atmosphere when required. Over-the-table pendant lights are brilliant for creating an instant wow factor, but don’t overlook floor lamps and table lamps around the room too, to create a more intimate feel.

RUSTIC RETREAT Natural materials - especially wood - are ultra-fashionable and suit an informal setting. While we haven’t seen a huge push for one specific style, one thing which has become clear is that large dining spaces are back and here to stay. Eight to 12-seater tables are proving extremely popular, as people focus on creating a central hub for family and friends to gather.

Bold, rich colours can make a separate dining area or room feel snug and cosy, while open plan areas can look stunning decorated in light, neutral tones, which blur the boundary between the indoors and outdoors, if they look out onto a garden.

TIP: Establish which size table you need - it’s the main focus of the room and must be large enough to seat the required number of people, but too large and it will swamp a room. If space is an issue, opt for an extendable option for versatility.

HOUSE && GARDEN GARDEN HOUSE

Grey's anatomy

BY GABRIELLE FAGAN

Once upon a time, magnolia ruled in homes. The warm peachy shade was for years apparently the only choice for walls - until out of the shadows came grey.

"I

t's an interior designer's murder mystery - did grey kill magnolia?" teases Kate Watson-Smyth, whose new book, Shades Of Grey, focuses on the power of a grey palette and explains in crystal clear fashion, spiced with a liberal dash of humour, how to use it stylishly.

Fresh, modern and easy to match to other colours, it's perhaps hardly surprising that elegant, sophisticated grey is currently regarded as the perfect neutral. There's only one snag - deciding which shade to choose.

As if the names for shades weren't baffling enough - take these, 'Elephant's Breath' is actually mid-grey, 'Blackened' is actually pale blue, bestselling 'Down Pipe' is dark grey while 'Clooney' (named after George, natch) is a bluey grey - the number on offer can induce paint chart paralysis. Fifty shades? Forget it Dulux recently expanded its range and now offers a mind-boggling 557 greys.

"Grey's one of the hardest colours to get right when it comes to decorating your home. Get it wrong and the effect can be cold and energy-sapping, but if it's right it will look ultra-chic and modern, so although it takes a bit of mastering, it's well worth it," says Watson-Smyth. "To find the best shade, you need to consider a few key things, including which direction your room faces, the prevailing weather and the actual shade you like! Hopefully, by understanding grey, you'll be spared from buying a million sample pots, having walls daubed with confusing splashes of paint, or painting a whole room in the wrong shade and finding it resembles a prison cell! I've done it myself in my kitchen and had to repaint it. Just be warned, once you've gone grey, you'll be hooked."

MAKING GREY WORK Grey's enduring popularity over the last decade is partly down to the cold, clear Northern light we enjoy in this country - put simply, grey just

looks good here - but always evaluate how much natural light a room gets and the direction it comes from.

"For a small and dark north-facing room, don't fight the space by painting it a pale colour," says Watson-Smyth. "Instead, embrace its cosiness. Pick a strong shade of grey - as near to black as you dare - and use on every wall. The warm light of a south-facing room allows you more freedom of choice - pale greys can work as well as dark ones. East and westfacing rooms can be tricky, as the light will change from warm to cold as the sun moves across the sky. The secret is to look for a shade which will warm the cool and tone down the warm. For east-facing rooms, try greys with a blue or green base."

A shade to consider, she suggests, is Little Greene's French Grey, a warm pale grey which won't dominate or darken a space. Absolute matt emulsion, £19.25 for 1L (www.littlegreene.com).

EXPERT VIEW "I started by painting one alcove in my house grey - it's a good way to experiment with a shade - and then fell in love with the colour and painted the whole house in dark grey. It's the best interiors move I ever made," enthuses interior designer Abigail Ahern. “To be safe, buy a sample pot and apply a generous amount in various places in a room, to see how the colour alters at different times of the day.”

GREY MATTERS Always consider the effect that your existing furniture, textiles and flooring may have on a paint shade - no grey is ever seen in isolation. "Grey goes with all the other colours on the wheel, so you could throw in some pink until you feel like a change, and then maybe swap it for orange or yellow.

It's probably more affordable to swap the accessories than the wall colour," suggests Watson-Smyth.

"Be aware, though, that light will bounce off a bright pink sofa and turn walls slightly violet. Modern LEDs often throw out light with a blueish tinge, which will add to the pink purple effect. If you're concerned a room may look too plain painted all grey, use a textured wallpaper as a base to add interest. Skirting boards and radiators painted the same grey as walls will open up and enhance a space and painting a ceiling a paler shade of the wall colour, rather than white, can also be effective."

FINE & COUNTRY FEATURE

STAPLEFORD TAWNEY

“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”.
