SOME SHELTER FROM THE TAX MAN

Michelle Groves, Independent Financial Adviser at Scrutton Bland has some useful ideas for taking a bit of financial cover from the tax man.

A

s autumn weather takes hold and with Christmas and New Year just around the corner, your thoughts are probably full of festive plans and ideas for presents and entertaining. But spare a thought for the other slightly-less-celebratory date that is rapidly approaching, namely the 31st January deadline for submitting your Self Assessment tax return. If you want to take advantage of any tax allowances or reliefs then these need to be sorted out before that date.

By making use of your annual tax free allowances, a couple consisting of a higher rate tax payer (an income tax rate of 40% and above) and a non-tax payer who have capital to invest could generate tax-free income and gains of up to £60,500 per year. is figure doesn’t include the additional tax free interest/dividends available from ISAs and Income Tax relief which can be claimed by making a pension contribution.

Making a pension contribution can generate up to 45% income tax relief on the contribution, which is claimable via self-assessment. Individuals who do not have relevant earnings can also contribute up to £3,600 per annum into a pension and claim £720 in income tax relief. ose who are comfortable with investment risk might consider other investments which offer tax relief, such as Enterprise Investment Schemes (EIS) and Venture Capital 1 2 NOVEMBER 2016

Trusts (VCTs). ese invest into a portfolio of shares in unquoted UK companies and offer Income Tax relief of up to 30% on the amount invested and potential for tax free income and/or growth. It should be noted that these types of investments are considered as high risk and you may not get back all of the capital you have invested.

Tax legislation is notoriously complex and you should never make any decisions on tax or investment without consulting an independent, qualified professional adviser, such as those at Scrutton Bland. ey will work with you to find the right course of action, and furthermore will look at the whole of the market, rather than a narrow range of products. At Scrutton Bland we can also call on the services of our tax specialists, who can ensure your savings are working in the most tax efficient way possible. n

RECOGNISING A POTENTIAL CANCER THREAT An Interview With Louise Malina of Buckhurst Hill

S

WORDS: MICHELLE B. HARRIS

ometimes a chance encounter can change your whole life’s direction.

It may be something simple and in the most unlikely of places.

Even at Boots the Chemists…

Louise had a pretty normal day out with her mother when they noticed a leaflet entitled GCAPPS – Genetic Cancer Prediction rough Population Screening. She picked it up, read it and felt she needed to action. e leaflet elaborated upon the extra cancer risks to Ashkenazi Jews (Jews with ancestry from Russia and/or Eastern Europe) who, if they had a high number of cases Louise Malina of breast and ovarian cases of cancer in their family, could potentially have the BRAC1 and/or BRAC 2 mutated gene. In the general population approximately, 1:800 people have these mutated genes but for Ashkenazim it’s 1:40. Louise had the blood test and her worst fears were confirmed, the result was positive which meant that there were huge implications for her and her family. ere has recently been a great deal of publicity about the BRAC 1 and BRAC 2 mutated gene as a result of Angelina Jolie’s recent diagnosis and decision to have surgery.

Michelle: So what happened next?

Louise: After counselling, it was a no brainer to have a minor operation. e whole process was efficient and felt minor by comparison to the possible alternative.

Michelle: And the follow-up because of the risk of breast cancer?

Louise: I have been offered a mammogram every year with the opportunity to have a double mastectomy if required.

Michelle: As you have the BRAC 1 mutated gene, did you feel a responsibility to forewarn other members of the family?

Louise: ABSOLUTELY. I am telling everyone. I would rather be uncomfortable with this then to see another member of my family battle with cancer. In fact, I want to tell the whole world that if you’re potentially within this group, a simple blood test will empower you to make decisions before you have a major problem.

Michelle: And people’s response?

Louise: Most people assume cancer is very treatable and would prefer to avoid discussing it rather than confront the problem. is is understandable but ovarian cancer is a silent killer. When you have the symptoms, it can be too late. For me, I would rather know that I had a ‘potential’ problem before a major life-threatening situation.

Michelle: What would you recommend if you are concerned: Louise: Step 1: First do a family tree and look for a history of cancer in your family. In particular, breast and ovarian cancer for woman and breast and prostrate cancer for men.

Step 2: Go to your GP with your evidence and discuss if you feel you’re in a high-risk category.

Step 3: You may be referred to a genetic counsellor and a routine blood test for BRAC1 and/or BRAC2 mutated gene might be offered.

Michelle: And if somebody is worried or wants to discuss anything?

Louise: FORCE were fantastic. ey’re a charity predominantly in the US who (in particular) help people facing the risk of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer.

Together with Sue Torok, we run the international division in the UK and based from Essex. Nobody should feel they have to face this alone… ere’s help if you want it and support. n

FOCUS ON AT BRAESIDE AND NORMANHURST SCHOOL

B

raeside School, an exceptional school for girls in Buckhurst Hill, and Normanhurst School, a thriving school for boys and girls in North Chingford both cater for children aged 2 ½ to 16. ey make up half of the privately-owned Oak-Tree Group of independent schools and provide excellent education at 11+.

We talk to Claire Osborn, Headmistress of both Braeside and Normanhurst Schools about the schools’ strengths in educating pupils at senior level.

Q: AS ‘ALL THROUGH SCHOOLS’,WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF BRAESIDE AND NORMANHURST TAKING CHILDREN FROM 2½ TO 16?

A: We have a wonderful opportunity in taking our pupils on the educational journey from their Early Years, aged 2½ up to their GCSEs at 16. e staff and pupils at all levels have outstanding relationships, which result in pupils’ excellent personal development. Many of our pupils have been at the schools since they were 2 or 3 and feel a tangible sense of belonging and support. We understand the educational needs of children all the way through their education and we ensure that the progression from one stage to the next is smooth and supported .

Q: WHY ARE MORE PUPILS THAN EVER BEFORE TRANSITIONING FROM THE OAK-TREE PREP SCHOOLS, OAKLANDS AND COOPERSALE HALL TO THE OAK-TREE SENIOR SCHOOLS? A: It really is a privilege to lead two schools in the Oak-Tree Group. Parents are truly seeing the benefits of their children being educated within a strong group of schools. ere is a lot of interest from Oak-Tree parents because they identify with our ethos, have seen their children excel, are happy within the group and are impressed by the academic record of the senior schools. Girls can now sit one of the 11+ exams at either

Braeside or Normanhurst and be considered for both which is proving popular with external and Oak-Tree internal candidates. Part-scholarships are now being awarded at Braeside too, just like Normanhurst. is scheme has already been proved successful within the Oak-Tree Group and we are very pleased to now be able to offer it to current pupils as well as new prospective pupils as they look to join us at 11+ Q: WHERE DO PUPILS GO WHEN THEY HAVE TO LEAVE BRAESIDE AND NORMANHURST AT 16?

A: We prepare all of our pupils to go on to further education and the majority study for A levels. Most move to schools in the area, to selective independent schools (sometimes with scholarships), to grammar schools or to local state schools and colleges. We provide continuous support, advice and information to parents about the application process for different schools and colleges.

11+ and 13+ entrance examinations are sat at Braeside and Normanhurst on Tuesday 24 January. Contact the relevant school directly to register a place. Girls can sit either exam and be considered for both schools if they wish. n

It has grown from what used to be some stalls in the acclaimed Tearoom which overlooks the world famous Gravel Garden, to an event with around 40 stalls selling locally sourced and crafted gifts, children’s activities and crafts, music, choirs, hot chocolate, locally sourced warming food, a children’s winter trail around the Gardens and a children’s Christmas story corner... is magical weekend is taking place on 26th-27th November, the ideal time to make Christmas gift purchases for loved ones. ere will be a fantastic selection of handmade and locally crafted gifts, from stallholders who pride themselves on producing items that are unusual, bespoke and make wonderful presents.

Back by popular demand will be the Harmonettes, a trio of singers from nearby Frinton –on–Sea. ey’ll be performing on both days of the fayre, as part of a packed programme of performances from local choirs singing traditional Christmas carols.

And for the first time, visitors from the Victorian and Edwardian era will be making an appearance. e actors from the Chameleon’s Web theatre company will be telling visitors all about Christmas in their day and no doubt will be in awe of our modern day objects like smart phones and cameras: a great photo opportunity! e traditional Christmas decoration will be familiar to them, although the wreaths and plants will be twinkling with fairy lights…

Entrance to the Fayre is a suggestion donation of £1 for adults and 50p for children with proceeds going to our chosen charities.

THE POLLARDS OF EPPING FOREST Photography©Julian Birch.

Have you ever wondered what makes the landscape and ecology of Epping Forest so unique?

A

s the leaves turn and fall, the structure of the trees is revealed and this is a good time of year to appreciate the beauty of the trees themselves. e interesting forms of many of the trees derive from the historic practice of ‘pollarding’, which has been taking place in Epping Forest for well over 1,000 years. Epping Forest can boast to being home to more pollards than any other single place in Britain.

So what is a pollard and why is pollarding so fundamental to the Forest’s character and wildlife?

Dr Jeremy Dagley, the City of London Corporation’s Head of Conservation at Epping Forest, explains: “A pollard is simply a tree that is cut above head height and allowed to regrow, producing new branches that can be cut on a regular cycle. e cutting cycle was traditionally between 10 – 15 years. e work was done from up in the tree or from the ground by axe, bill-hook, hand-saw, and now chainsaw, to provide a crop of firewood or leaf-fodder for animals. is seemingly simple and straightforward act of regular branch lopping actually brings about profound biological changes in a tree. While the trunk of the tree ages, its canopy is rejuvenated and the life of the tree can be extended hugely, often by many centuries.

It is this longevity that makes pollards particularly special, both culturally and ecologically.

Hornbeams and beeches, which as uncut trees may only survive for three or four centuries, can live for more than 2 8 NOVEMBER 2016

double this age as pollards. In Epping Forest some beeches have been regenerating since Anglo-Saxon times, representing some of the oldest and largest living creatures in Europe. As the well-known nature-writer Richard Mabey put it, pollards “are the most vivid demonstrations of what can result from a co-operative working relationship between man and nature”. e continuity of pollarding is, therefore, essential to the Forest’s conservation whilst the protection of the Forest itself is a responsibility of international significance.” is month in Epping Forest you can get a great feel for the landscape by attending a Bushcraft event. ere are three to choose from throughout November, with fire lighting on 5 November, a bushcraft brimble on 19 November and tracking and fieldcraft of 20 November.

All events take place in the Forest around Chingford and run from 10am – 4pm and cost just £40 per person, (events suitable for 14 years and over).

If it’s a bit too chilly outside, you can appreciate Epping Forest from the warmth and comfort of e View (Rangers Road, Chingford) with an exhibition of Epping Forest inspired artwork by local artist, Linda Bondy (exhibition runs from 5 November to 4 December and is open daily, except Monday, 10am-5pm).

For more information or to book for the bushcraft events, telephone 020 7332 1911 or visit www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/eppingforestevents n

A guide to London’s coolest ice rinks London is a wonderful place to be at Christmas.

The capital's outdoor ice rinks are some of the most magical locations you'll see all season. With twinkling Christmas lights and trees set to the backdrop of some of London's most iconic locations, a trip to an ice rink is a must-do for the views alone. Here’s our pick of the city’s best – they’re only open for a limited time so get your skates on before it’s too late!

observation wheel.. It's a great family day out which the kids will love; Father Christmas will also be in attendance! And keep your eyes peeled for celebrity skaters: Kate Moss and Chris Martin are said to be fans. Open 10am to 10pm.

Ice skating sessions tend to sell-out in advance, especially at weekends and evenings, so booking ahead is highly recommended. www.hydeparkwinterwonderland.com NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM 27 October 2016 to 8 January 2017 (except Christmas Day) Experience the thrill of skating at this spectacular 950-squaremetre rink nestled in front of the iconic South Kensington museum, with a glittering 40ft Christmas tree decorated by Swarovski. Decked with 6,000 twinkling fairy lights and adorned with over 1,000 precision-cut Swarovski crystal ornaments, the Christmas tree is sure to bring that Swarovski signature sparkle to the middle of the ice rink this winter. Also returning is the Swarovski ice photo-opportunity, which allows guests to take a touch of sparkle home with them.

Your kids can keep warm with a delicious hot chocolate…and mulled wine for yourself of course! There is a penguin skate club for 4-8 year olds, and sessions dedicated to wheelchair users. A visit to the Museum’s Ice Rink is a must this festive season. - Opening times vary, but most ice skating sessions run between 10am and 10pm, with extended opening hours on weekends and in the days leading up to Christmas, as well as on New Year’s Eve when the rink opens until 12.30am (late-night New Year's Eve tickets go on sale in November).

LIVING LIFE TO THE FULL WORDS: MICHELLE B. HARRIS

I

always think very carefully about my column in this magazine and whether I want to write a feature that is humorous, entertaining or perhaps even thoughtful…

As 2016 draws towards a close, next month is Christmas and before you know it, those New Year Resolutions will again be written out. Most of us have at least some of these on our lists: Join a gym, lose weight, improve my business etc. however by the end of the first week in January, some or all resolutions are broken.

Rather than consider what feels right, historic or habitual, what if this was to be your last year?

What would you ultimately regret?

A few weeks ago, I read a feature written by Susie Steiner and published in e Guardian and on their website. An experienced palliative nurse recorded the top five regrets of the dying: 1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.

2. I wish I hadn't worked so hard.

2. I will not work so hard.* 3. I will have the courage to express my feelings.** 4. I will make more regular contact with my good and cherished friends.*** 5. I will make myself happier.

Even if just one or two points reach fruition with the others being on next year’s list, could make such a difference in our final few hours or minutes. So by deciding not to have regrets but to anticipate and therefore facilitating a reflection of a cherished and fulfilled life full of love and happy memories, could framework the lives we lead now.

My motto has always been Carpe Diem (seize the moment) because for all of us, life hangs on a thread. We shouldn’t be complacent about health, family or wealth. All we can do is just take one step at a time, enjoy what’s good and make each moment count; to be true to ourselves and to others; to enjoy life because this isn’t a dress rehearsal… is Is It! n *But with proviso to honour responsibilities and commitments. **Probably best to express positive feelings! ***And I don’t mean Facebook. at’s cheating!!

3. I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings.

4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.

5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.

What if instead of preparing ourselves for the final hour, filled with remorse and regret for what might have been, we had indeed allowed time for the ultimate Bucket List and therefore changed “I wish” to “I will…”

1. I will have the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expect of me.

here is one thing that stays constant, regardless of how turbulent life gets: Christmas is a time to press “pause”, reconnect with oneself, loved ones and to celebrate. More than ever this Christmas, Selfridges will aim to do just that – celebrate – and turn the dial to the max at a multi-coloured glitter disco ball dance party to which everyone’s invited.

The 2016 Christmas message from Selfridges is simple: celebrate yourself and celebrate your loved ones, and turn every day during the season into a party – Selfridges can show you how to gather, give and get on down with a little cheeky humour and bags of style. Themed products, visual displays and in-store experiences are a kaleidoscope of dazzle, glitter and fun.

THE SHINE ON! WINDOWS This year Santa is back in a big way as the hero of the window scheme he shows onlookers how to throw the best parties, wherever you are. Each window showcases a snowy Alpine landscape and different party scenarios, where family, friends, pets (from poodles to giant Polar bears), and nearly

100 disco balls, all join in the fun with a wink and a smile.

Five of the twelve Selfridges windows feature a state-of-the-art sound system which uses the vibration of the glass pane to produce music. Each of the five windows has its own special Christmas soundtrack that matches perfectly the mood of the window it scores.

Alongside the Shine On! Christmas displays, this year Selfridges is offering over 1,000 exclusive products, its biggest ever selection of gorgeous gifts across all categories, from fashion to food and from toys to technology.

In-store Christmas entertainment will take a resolutely theatrical turn.

The Selfridges theatre will produce its own take on the old British tradition of the Christmas pantomime. The London store has commissioned risqué London entertainment company Sink The Pink to create an exclusive Panto play based on famous fairy-tales but interpreted for a grown-up audience ready for a big laugh. Cue extraordinary tale twists, extravagant drag queens and extra cheeky double-entendres. Adults only allowed.

But Christmas is first and foremost the most magical time for little people. So Selfridges has asked children’s theatre Big Fish Little Fish to throw kids-friendly afternoon raves throughout December. Additional partyfocused in-store entertainment will be provided by frequent yet unsuspected musical bursts of roaming disco, exploding glitter cannons and, of course, Santa and his trusted elves will be greeting young and old in their inimitable style, throughout the season.

The party is at Selfridges and everyone’s invited!

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR SKIN IN THE WINTER MONTHS WITH FRANCES FURLONG

T

his month I will be focusing on how to fight skin enemies, as the temperature has started to drop heaters have now been turned on and the wind has started to whip, the battle for healthy skin begins. e dry air takes away the thin layer of oil that traps moisture in the skin, flaring itchy and painful conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and severe dry skin. Which are all unpleasant to the sufferer.

PREPARING YOUR SKIN 1. Minimise the toll on your skin over the next few months by preparing now.

2. Keep your shower time as brief as possible and use lukewarm, not hot, water, as this is a recipe for dry irritated skin.

3 Switch to less aggressive, moisture-rich soaps made for sensitive skin, such as those made by Dove and Aveeno.

3. Gently pat yourself dry to avoid traumatising or over-drying the skin.

4. Apply moisturiser while your skin is still slightly damp.

5. Bespoke serums that suit your skin type can really help as they penetrate deeper into the skin and help to ease and smooth tight, dry and hypersensitive skin types.

6. For a rich skin clinic treatment, Mesotherapy vitamins and Restylane skin boosters work so well by giving dry skin an in-built moisture system that lasts 6 months and will see you through the winter months.

7. If your skin does flare up, choose soft, breathable fabrics, like cotton, instead of itchy woolens or polyester.

Loose-fitting clothing will also help to keep your skin from chafing and becoming irritated by perspiration. Keep away from woolly scarves directly on your bare skin as it can irritate certain skin conditions.

8. Try to stay healthy, eat well and take supplements to boost you as psoriasis and eczema involve immune system responses. Many experts believe that bacterial, viral or fungal infections can make them worse.

9. Winter also brings a decrease in the amount of sun exposure - not a good thing since sunlight can help relieve psoriasis. Phototherapy is a good treatment for the winter months. n

Dab Physiotherapy specialises in visiting working environments helping staff with common aches and pains ranging from repetitive strain injury, carpal tunnel syndrome, back and neck pain and headaches.

“I can now smile confidently, something that for most of my life I have had an issue with…”

WORDS BY DEE BROWN

M

ore patients are being referred to Smile Design by Ash due to existing patients’ life changing and memorable experiences at the practice. is being one of the biggest compliments to Ash and his Team. Sue was referred to the practice by her partner Graham, who had also had a smile makeover with Ash. “Graham and I now laugh at our matching smiles and call ourselves the product of Ash!” Initially Sue was very weary when it came to having treatment at Smile Design by Ash as she had many bad experiences as a child. At 16, after having two baby teeth removed she was informed her adult teeth were too high up in her jaw and would not replace the missing teeth she now had. is meant that she would need a denture! “At the age of 16 you can imagine how dismayed I was to be wearing ‘false teeth’. e false teeth constantly snapped off and I regularly had to walk around with gaps in my mouth. It was not until I was 21 that I then had bridges but the damage was done and I had forgotten how to smile.”

“I knew from the moment of my first consultation that I would be in safe hands. I was desperate to have a smile makeover but wanted it to look natural.” After a comprehensive assessment, Ash and Sue decided the best way to improve Sue’s smile would be with porcelain veneers and new bridges.

Sue required some initial hygiene treatment to maintain a healthy foundation before her cosmetic treatment was carried out. She then quickly moved on to having her smile makeover. “Considering some of the appointments were three hours plus, I never experienced any pain whatsoever and Ash and his team were very mindful; there were plenty of breaks during the long appointments.”

“I am absolutely delighted with the end result of my smile makeover. I can now smile confidently, something that for most of my life I have had an issue with. Ash and his staff could not have been kinder, more professional or supportive!” n HAVE YOU HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE IN THE PAST AND WANT TO OVERCOME YOUR FEAR OF VISITING THE DENTIST?

“

I had no idea how uneven my eyebrows where until I saw a photo of myself on a night out!

Although I have my eyebrows regularly shaped and tinted no one has ever mentioned it to me.

My first thought was to have them corrected by considering semi permanent make up. I went for a consultation and was told that this could make them look worse. I was recommended to see Frances Furlong of Perfect Skin to see if she could suggest anything to help. I had a very informative and professional indepth consultation that resulted in me having muscle relaxing injections to stop my eyebrow from pulling up too much.

Within 4 days my eyebrows were even and my face looked more balanced.

KITE SURFING Kite surfing is a relatively new extreme sport wherreby you use a small surfboard with foot straps and bindings which are attached tached to a large power kite. This controllable kite propels you across the water ter - and at times over it while you control both the kite and the board at the same time.

Who is kite surrfing fing suitable for? Kite surfing is co onsidered to be a family sport, and can be done by children as young as 12. Th hose participating need to be strong swimmers with a fair degree of upperr-body -bo ody strength - and it also helps if you are proficient at other water sportts such as windsurfing.

Risk factors of kite surrfing. fing. Kite surfing is a relativvely low-risk extreme sport, since most kite surfers wear helmets, and each h kite has a quick-release mechanism which allows you to release the kite with h one tug or push, leaving only one line attached to a kite leash. This will cause the kite to lose its shape, preventing you from being dragged along by an out-o off-control -control kite.

MOUNT TAINEERING AINEERING R RING Mountaineering - as its name suggests - is the sporrt of walking, hiking and climbing up mountains. The degree of difficulty w with mountaineering d depends d on the th terrain, t i with ith the th more daring d i mountttaineers i venturing t i up high, craggyy,, and offten ten snow-covered peaks.

WAKEBOARDING AKEBO N NG Simply put, wakeboarding is like water skiing, bu ut on one plank rather than two.

Look into my Lo my heart... hearrtt...

BY LISA SA SALMON

If you you de develop p chest chest painss,, there are a wealth of tests yyou oou could ld be sent ffor or to identify fy whether h you you h have a h heart p problem. bl Here's a q quic uicckk look l k at the h current main d diagnostic tests for for heart art problems bl s... ...

PHYSICAL ASSESSMENT A doctor takes a patient's medical and family historry ry, asks questions about their lifestyle (how active they are and whether they smok smoke, etc), listens to their heart and lungs, and takes their blood pressure and pulse. "If there's a significant degree of clinical suspicion that a problem m could be cardiac, the NHS encourages GPPss to do a fast-track referral refer to a caardiology clinic.

BLOOD TESTS Blood tests are used in relation to a number of hear art conditions, the most common being cardiac enzyme tests, which help sho ow if the heart muscle is damaged; full blood count, which measures different types of blood cells and can show w if there's an infection, and thyroid function tests, which detect an under or overactive thyroid, which can be linked to heart palpitations or a very slow or fast heart rate.

CHEST X-RA AY Y If you havve symptoms such as shortness of breath, a chest X-ray X-ray can help ascertain if itt's caused by a heart or lung condition. If a heart condition's suspected, fu further tests will be recommended. Heart conditions that can be assessed by X-ray X-ray include heart hear failure, congenital heart disease and pericarditis ((inflammation of the heart and lungs).

ANGIO OGRAM An angioggram lets doctors look inside coronary artteries, to see where, and how severelyy, y, they've narrowed, and how effectively the heart's t pumping.

Patients aare given a local anaesthetic, where a catheter is passed into the artery. Usingg an X X-ray -rayy, the catheter's directed through the blood vessels and OVCE T OEB 51 45 2N O MB R E2 R 0 1260 1 6

into the hearrt before a dye is injected, which shows any narrowed areas or blockages. There's also a CT coronarryy angiogram, where the dye is injected into a small vvein in the arm and a CT scan used to create an image of the patient's heaart.

ECG An electro ocardiogram (ECG) records the rhythm and electrical activity of the heart, viaa electrodes attached to the arms, legs and chest with small stickkyy patches. Thee test can help detect problems with the heart rate and show if a patient is havving a heart attack, or has already had one. An ECG can also show if the heart iss enlarged. However, a normal ECG doesn't rule out significant coronarryy hear heaart disease and other tests may be needed, such as a coronarryy angiogram.

ECHOC CARDIOGRAM An echocardiogram ardiogram - also known as an echo - uses sound waves to create a detailed piccture of the heart, similar to ultrasound scans. A probe is moved over the skin n of the chest, giving off pulses of high frequency sound waves which pass through the skin and 'echo' against the heart structures, reflecting them as movving pictures.

The echo o also gives information about the heart's function and pumping action. It can n be useful affter ter recent heart attacks or heart failure, and is also used to assess ss people with heart valve problems or congenital heart disease.

MRI SCAN A cardiac MRI is used to view the heart's structure and assess how well it's pumping, so o it's useful for checking structural problems including congenital heart diseasee, wear and tear of the valves, heart damage affter ter a hear heart attack, and the amo ount of healthy heart muscle if you have heart failure. MRI scans can also lookk at the heart's blood supply and related conditions, such as angina and coronarryy heart disease.

How to keep up that

Fitness Motivation Now it is Autumn, and the dark nights start to set in, it can be tempting to stay in the warm rather than go outside or to the gym.Many of us have fallen off the wagon because of this, so you are not alone.

H

ere are some tips to keep up that exercise motivation when you are starting to flag.

IMAGINATION & MINDFULESS Remind yourself of how amazing you feel once you have completed a workout. Give yourself a pep talk, think about the person you want to be, how you would like to feel.

This gives your workout a clear purpose and you a drive to keep going.

USE MUSIC TO SPUR YOU ON Music stirs up lots of powerful emotions in us. Make yourself a playlist with some of your

favourite fast and upbeat songs that make you want to dance. Playing them as your exercise will make you want to keep up with the beat.

THROW THE BAD STUFF AWAY Clear out your cupboards and fill them with superfoods.

If you don’t have bad stuff in your cupboards, you won’t eat it! Fat and sugar-laden foods cause our energy levels to plummet. Bin them and replace them with tasty healthy snacks that will give your body energy and nutrients to be able to cope with your new exercise regime.

CHANGE UP YOUR ROUTINE If you have already attempted your new

fitness regime, you no doubt designed your own daily workout plan at the beginning.

You will start to get bored of this eventually though, which will cause your motivation to wane. Remember to shake things up every so often- run a different route, change the order of your workout routine, combine different workouts – perhaps an exercise class one day, and a boxercise class another.

Anything to stop you just exercising on autopilot. Breathing new life into your workouts keeps it varied, and fresh.

Shower with love

Stepping under a cascading shower can be one of the most luxurious feelings in the world.

But turning the shower on to be greeted with a pathetic little trickle can be one of the most frustrating and disappointing experiences!

ndeed, the power of a good shower should not be underestimated. So much more than a means of getting clean, the right one can encourage us to break into a chorus of Singin' In The Rain, awaken the senses and leave us invigorated and ready to face the demands of the day.

Nearly 90% of UK households, according to AMA Research (www. amaresearch.co.uk), have at least one shower in their home, and with demand for super-stylish systems continuing to grow, leading bathroom specialists now offer an array of solutions for both traditional and contemporary interiors.

"The bathroom continues to be a key element of our homes, playing a much greater role beyond that of its traditional function as just another part of the daily routine," says Robin Levien, international designer at Ideal Standard. "It has become both multi-purpose and multi-functional, an oasis of escapism and relaxation. A place for reinvigoration, transformation and even somewhere to pose, ponder and play."

Dreaming of a shower upgrade? The first stage in the planning process is to address a number of key issues, such as water pressure, the fabric of the building and ceiling height. " The most important thing is to ensure you choose a shower system that's compatible with your water supply, to make sure you have sufficient water pressure to give optimal showering experience," notes Joe Stephens, product designer at Roper Rhodes.

Once the practical points have been addressed, you can drench yourself in the fun bits...

DARK DEPTHS Style and ambience can make a big difference in a bathroom; an

uncluttered spa style, and chic, minimal designs are ever-popular.

And while lighter colour schemes may be most traditionally associated with this part of the home, don't rule out moody hues, which can work especially well. "There is a trend for using dark colours on the walls and floor, which with good lighting, can actually make a small space seem bigger, as well as delivering a boutique hotel feel," says Levien.

Think different shades of greys, particularly darker tones, which are very on trend and great for creating a tranquil feel of luxury and relaxation.

WET & WILD Oversized shower heads can - literally - wash our woes away and make us feel like we're in Club Tropicana. Large, 300mm shower heads, which can be ceiling-mounted for a dramatic effect, are perfect for this as they create a cascading rain shower effect. Diverter valves are very popular, as they give the ability to switch the flow of water between two or even three different outlets, such as the main overhead shower, a handset and a bath filler. Thermostatic shower valves are another popular choice, particularly for families, as they are safe and easy to use.

Show-stopping ceiling-fed shower heads are a huge trend, because they look great, and they provide a really luxurious showering experience. 'Wow' shower head features, such as waterfall settings and LED mood lighting, which create a sense of total relaxation are also hot this year.

THE WOW FACTOR When space is at a minimum, often it's all about finding inventive and user-friendly ways of fitting in the essentials - but those lucky enough to have lots of bathroom space to play with can tap into trends on a larger scale. Bathrooms are moving from the functional into the decadent. Colour, texture, shape and size have moved from being 'safe' to almost stretching the boundaries of good taste. There has never been so much choice and product variation, and trends are very fast moving.

Giving a traditional bathroom an up-to-date facelift, you could remove the bath and replace it with a large format slim tray and wet room. This totally transforms both the look, life and function of the bathroom.

Think about coloured glass, as this can offer a 'wow' factor and also delivers some privacy, if the bathroom is used by more than one person at a time.

HOUSE & GARDENGUIDE FABRICS & FURNISHINGS

Best seat in the house

BY GABRIELLE FAGAN

Y

ou just know when you’ve found ‘the one’. Supportive, and always there for you when you need comfort, a snuggle or just to relax. I’m not talking about a partner - at least, not a human one, but the sometimes more tricky matter of getting the right seating partner; a sofa. But with so much to consider, from size through to shape and colour, never mind sorting through a seemingly endless array of ranges, finding the perfect match for you and your home can be daunting.

People often go to enormous lengths choosing a sofa, not just because this is a costly item, but also because it’s the most important piece of furniture in a living room. It can literally make or break the look of a setting.

A lot of life happens on a sofa, so it’s worth taking time to find ‘the one’.

Follow the experts’ tips for a seat-match made in heaven...

GET THE MEASURE I’m a fan of sofas which are big enough to lounge around on and super comfy, with deeper seat cushions than average, so they’re inviting to curl up on.

Top Tips: Measure your room before shopping, so you choose a sofa to fit the space and scale of the room. When you have one in mind, make a paper template of it and lay it out in the room to help you visualise the reality of its size, as display sofas always look smaller in large showrooms.

Ensure it will fit, especially if there are awkward stairs or narrow doorways, although bolt-on arms or removable legs are solutions if space is tight.

Style Guide: Leather sofas are a big trend, as they’re durable and practical and easy to clean.

CHECK OUT PATTERN Don’t be afraid to be adventurous and really push the boundaries when it comes to choosing seating - it’s outdated to pick a matching sofa, armchair and footstool. Create an eclectic, customised look by mixing colours and patterns, so a sofa upholstered in a plain fabric could be paired with a leather armchair, or a patterned footstool.

Top Tips: Don’t be led purely by design. Comfort is key, so try out a few before you decide. For instance, deep-seated sofas can be uncomfortable for short people, while those who love a squashy sofa for snoozing and sprawling will struggle with a lean, low-backed contemporary model.

Style Guide: People are becoming more adventurous in their decor, so clashing statement patterns and bold colours are starring. Pair a sofa with a bold fabric design with a plain backdrop, or if you love bold wallpapers, create a feature wall first and then match the sofa’s colour to the wall.

PLUMP FOR LOVE A sofa, like a bed, is one of the few home items used daily and the centrepiece of a living area, so expect to pay from £1,000 upwards for a quality piece which will last.

Top Tips: Avoid cheap versions if you opt for foam filled cushions, as they’ll flatten fast. “An element of love needs to go into a feather-filled cushion, as they require regular plumping, but we’ve minimised that by covering our duck feather cushions in a layer of foam,” she says.

Style Guide: “A move away from ‘safe’ decor is allowing bolder colours and interesting textures to play a bigger role, and retro’s ultra-fashionable.”

LOCATION LOCATION In large rooms, small sofas can look lost. Generally, high-backed sofas with upholstered arms dominate more and need more space around them, while a low-back slimmer sofa can be more discreet, and won’t block a view if placed in front of windows. L-shaped sofas can work well in a compact space, or act as room-dividers in an open plan area.

Style Guide: Intricate fabric patterns and sofas customised with different details in piping, mixed fabrics or a choice of feet, are increasingly finding favour. While bold patterns bring a room to life, my preference is for large sofas upholstered in neutral tones or leather, which suit any decor scheme.

f you’re the owner of a period home h built between the 1920s and 1940s you may haav ave grown fond of the traditional steel windows com mmonly fitted to properties at this time. But prettty as they are, these windows come with a host of problem ms after many years of use – ill-fitting casements, faulty haandles, condensation and draughts to name just a few w..

Often the only solution is to fit new w double glazing, but many are wary of the high cost off steel replacement windows or the loss of aesthetic that tends to result from uPVC installations.

Help is att hand tthough in the form of The Conservation Range from the Heritage Window Companyy,, a rang range of slimline aluminium windows specificallyy de designed to deliivver all the benefits of modern double glazing without compromising the character of your property ty.

“Some fri friends don’t even ven n notice we’v we’v ve ha had them done, and tha at’s t’s exa e ctlly yw wha ha at w we e wa wanted!”

The Conservation Range was the result of extensiivve consultation with conservation officers, and combines ultra-slim aluminium frames allowing the maximum amount of light in, with styling that mimics the minimalist sightlines of steel windows. As Heritage Sales Director, Ben Flatt points out, “Many of our customers want to update their windows, but they don’t want to lose that ‘period’ look.” And one customer recently said, “Some friends don’t even notice we’ve had them done, and that’s exactly what we wanted!”

But it’s not all about appearance, the performance is outstanding too. Owners benefit from excellent heat retention and noise reduction as the latest in double glazed sealed units do their job. And an “A “A” Windo Window Rating mean the Conservation Range meets all new Building

Regulations. Th he multipoint locking system ensures that at the windows are re secure too too, and additional security studs uds make certain th hat window casements, once locked in position, cannot ot be remo removed from the outside.

Cleverlyy,, Heritag Heeritage frames are designed to fit both direct irect to brick or ston ne or into existing timber sub-frames. Th hus it’s possible to remo remove the old metal casements and fit new without the need for extensiivve redecoration afterwardss. If the survey show ws that existing timber work is damaged d or rotten beyond repair then new frames can be fashioned to match the originals.

The frames are finished with a tough powder coated paint and customers can choose from over 200 interior and external colours to complement their chosen décor.

Matching traditional handles and peg-stays complete the period effect.

The Heritage Window Company has manufactured aluminium windows at its south London factory since 1978 and completed thousands of installations all over the south of England from terraced houses to stately homes. It’s built a reputation for quality products and customer service - windows are installed by directly employed fitters and the company also employs surveyors who carry out pre- and post-installation inspections to make sure that every job meets exacting quality standards. The result is a long list of satisfied customers who are only too happy to refer others, and a growing collection of testimonials which can be viewed at any of its showrooms in Beaconsfield, Dorking, Sevenoaks or Loughton.

The moment we walked through the door we were impressed by the spacious entrance hall, it certainly had the ‘WOW’ factor for us and first-time visitors are always impressed. As we were guided around the home the accommodation just got better and better, the rooms are spacious and there’s an en-suite to every bedroom, plus underfloor heating throughout the home.

We have always loved the house; the layout is perfect for entertaining.The kitchen/diner/family area is the heart and hub of the home; two sets of bi-fold doors open to allow the outside in during the summer months and provides access to the patio, with its hot tub.We are able to accommodate a lot of guests for barbecues and gatherings.”
