SUCCESSFUL SESSIONS e first Dementia Friends awareness sessions have already been held for the council's apprentices, housing team, the Limes Farm Community Group and for many of those involved with the council's walking for health scheme, Lifewalks.

Lifewalks leader, Erika Needham said: “e session helped me see how challenging it can be for those living with dementia and how we can help to alleviate this.

Bringing dementia to the attention of the public can help us all to make small changes in our behaviour towards those living with dementia, which in turn will make life easier for them and their carers”.

OCTOBER OPEN DAYS AT THE OAK-TREE SCHOOLS

A

look behind the scenes as the local group of independent schools prepares for an influx of visitors.

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

At Braeside School in Buckhurst Hill, Claire Osborn took over as Headmistress from September and will be greeting families; “I am very much looking forward to my first Open Day with Braeside. As Headmistress of two Oak-Tree Schools I’m delighted to be able to talk about Braeside’s reputation for strong academic achievement and the many developments we’ve seen since Braeside became part of the Oak-Tree Group last year. is is an exciting year and we’ve introduced a range of shared curricular and extra-curricular activities with Normanhurst that will benefit pupils at both schools.”

Braeside’s Open Morning is on Wednesday 5 October from 9.15am at the Juniors and the Open Evening is on Wednesday 5 October from 6pm at the Seniors.

Kaye Lovejoy, Headmistress of Epping’s Coopersale Hall School, comments, “Parents value the opportunity to take a guided tour with our confident pupils as they give an honest and impartial view of what school is really like. In my presentation I give a taste of the quality of our education from the earliest ages of 2½ to the intensive preparation we give our oldest children to prepare them for the 11+ senior school exams at. Our parents are always interested to hear about the wraparound care that we offer at Coopersale Hall including breakfast and after school clubs from 7.30am to 6pm.”

Coopersale Hall’s Open Morning is on Tuesday 4 October from 9.15am.

At Normanhurst School in North Chingford, Headmistress Claire Osborn enjoys talking to families about the how the ‘all through’ school caters for all ages from 2½ to 16. She comments, “the parents and children who visit our Open Morning and Open Evening are always impressed with the quality of our education. My presentation focuses on the many opportunities available to all ages including the strong academic teaching, range of extra-curricular activities and

1 0 SEPTEMBER 2016

excellent GCSE results. e Head Boy and Head Girl speak about their passion for the school and how much they enjoy their learning.”

Normanhurst’s Open Evening is on ursday 6 October from 6pm with an additional Open Morning exclusively for Early Years families on Friday 7 October from 9.15am.

Sue Belej, incoming Headmistress of Oaklands School in Loughton, is used to talking to groups of parents bringing newborn babies to Open Mornings as registration often happens at the earliest possible age. She explains, “on Open Morning we don’t make many changes to our normal working day as it is important for parents to get see the school as it really is and get a feel for our friendly children, strong academic education and breadth of opportunities that we provide for the children.” e Oaklands Open Morning is on ursday 6 October from 9.15am. e Oak-Tree Open Mornings are informal events with prospective parents seeing classes at work, whilst the Open Evenings are designed to showcase the excellent Senior education on offer.

MUSEUM PARTNERSHIP RECEIVES GRANT Museum partnership secures major grant award from Arts Council England Resilience Fund

A

heritage sustainability project entitled ‘No Borders’, which is being led by Epping Forest District Council’s Museum, Heritage and Culture Service has been awarded £279,000 by Arts Council England, following a competitive bid to Arts Council England’s Museums Resilience Fund.

NATIONAL AWARD e award, which is part of Arts Council England’s strategic funding programme, has been designed to support museums to become more sustainable and resilient to the pressures many are currently facing. Nationally some 94 museums and organisations were awarded funding totalling £12.2 million.

GROUND-BREAKING PARTNERSHIP e 'No Borders' project is a ground breaking local authority museums partnership, which includes Epping Forest Museum, Heritage and Culture Service, the Lowewood Museum in Broxbourne and Chelmsford City’s Museum Service, which are all popular museum services with free entry for the public.

DEVELOPING SUSTAINABLE SERVICES e aim of the project is to support all three local authority areas to develop sustainable, inspiring services for the future, drawing upon recommendations and ideas produced for Epping Forest District Museum, as part of an earlier piece of resilience work funded by Arts Council England.

GOOD NEWS FOR RESIDENTS e funding is good news for local residents of all ages as family activities are a key area of work and this project will enable the museums to develop new approaches to support funding for exhibitions, development projects and day to day activities, by bringing in professionals with expertise in fundraising and commercial operations including retail, catering, event services and venue hire, to undertake a number of transformational improvements across all these areas of work.

NEW CHARITABLE FOUNDATIONS It is also planned for the museums to establish new,

1 2 SEPTEMBER 2016

charitable Development Foundations to undertake fundraising in support of their work the museums, with the aim of bringing in funding not normally available to local authority museums and this will be established and guided by an experienced fundraiser.

A third strand of the project will be to undertake projects with groups and individuals who don’t currently access the museums’ services, to build audiences and encourage people of all ages and abilities to get involved with the museum, as visitors, supporters, volunteers and future curators.

In the Epping Forest District, the 'No Borders' project will build on the recent expansion and refurbishment of Epping Forest District Museum, which has recently reopened following a major Heritage Lottery Fund Award of £1.65m, which has enabled the museum to be fully accessible.

DELIGHTED Museum, Heritage and Culture Manager, Tony O’Connor said: ‘'We are delighted to have secured this funding for this work at this exciting time in the museum services development. We are grateful for the support of Arts Council England in providing the opportunity to undertake this transformational project, which will improve the opportunities for residents and visitors to Epping Forest, Broxbourne and Chelmsford museums to engage in the rich heritage and cultural offer we all share.''

EXCITING DEVELOPMENTS Councillor Helen Kane, Portfolio Holder for Epping Forest District Council’s Leisure and Community Services said: ''Achieving this funding will allow us to build on the exciting developments which have taken place at the Epping Forest District Museum and will ensure that our museum, heritage and culture service can continue to contribute to the health, wellbeing and economic development of the district in a sustainable way.''

She added: ''Ensuring the museum is sustainable and resilient in the long term will ensure the newly developed building continues to contribute to Waltham Abbey town, business and communities.’' e 'No Borders' project will take place between October 2016 and March 2018 n

David Bowie’s Personal Art Collection to be unveiled for the first time at Sotheby’s, New Bond Street

Art was, seriously, the only thing I’d ever wanted to own. It has always been for me a stable nourishment. I use it. It can change the way I feel in the mornings.The same work can change me in different ways, depending on what I’m going through.

DAVID BOWIE

M

usician, actor, icon — David Bowie was for almost 50 years one of the most recognised and revered artists in the world, his influence transcending music to shape the wider culture of our time. His life as an art collector, however, was something he kept almost entirely hidden from public view. Now, for the first time, this little-known side of Bowie will be fully revealed.

Next month, (November) Sotheby’s will stage Bowie/Collector – a threepart sale that includes a selection of around 400 items from the private collection of David Bowie. At its heart will be Bowie’s collection of Modern and Contemporary British art – a richly stimulating group of over 200 works by many of the most important British artists of the 20th century, including Henry Moore, Graham Sutherland, Frank Auerbach and Damien Hirst.

Bowie’s famously inquisitive mind also led

1 60 SSEEP P T ETMEBM E RB 2E0R 1 62 0 1 6 2

him to Outsider Art, Surrealism, Contemporary African art and, not least, to the work of the eccentric Italian designer Ettore Sottsass and the Memphis group.

This is a collection put together with great thoughtfulness on the basis not of reputation but of Bowie’s highly personal, intellectual response to each artist’s individual vision.

Bowie’s private collection will be exhibited at Sotheby’s New Bond Street galleries, giving fans, art historians and collectors a once-ina-lifetime opportunity to immerse themselves in the art and objects that informed his private world.

“Eclectic, unscripted, understated: David Bowie’s collection offers a unique insight into the personal world of one of the 20th century’s greatest creative spirits.”

Oliver Barker, Chairman, Sotheby’s Europe.

The sale catalogue will be available in early October.

Memory Walk is Alzheimer’s Society’s annual fundraising event, taking place around the UK bringing people together to walk for a world without dementia. is walk was in memory of Bharti’s patients with dementia both past and present.

‘It was lovely to see so many people coming together to fight dementia. I am happy to know that my contribution, as well as that of my friends and family, will make a real difference to improving the lives of people living with dementia and their carer’s. ank you to all who came.’

Walkers began from eydon Bois Village hall, and 15 people completed a 4.5 miles approximately [1hr walk] around eydon Bois, Epping Forest on a sunny morning.

Carole from Loughton said: It was a lovely walk through the forest and enjoyed meeting other walkers and exchanging their experience of their family members with dementia.

‘Memory Walk was the perfect opportunity to show our support for our friends and relatives, who have been living with dementia. We met others who understand the difficulties of living with this condition, and together raised money to help fight it’. n Contacts: Bharti Mistry, email:kumbhtherapies@aol.com.

Ben Wheatley says “I'm very proud to be showing Free Fire at the BFI London Film Festival. To be the closing film is a great honour. LFF have been fantastic in supporting the films I've made (me and an army of 100s) and I can't wait to show Free Fire to the Festival audience!”

LOVING THE SEASIDE WORDS: MICHELLE B. HARRIS

A

t this point in September, most of us are back from our summer holiday. Suntans and memories are beginning to fade, the sand has been cleaned out of the sandals, it’s back to work and the kids are at school. But does that mean we can’t still enjoy the smell of the sea air, the shingle and sand between our toes and the gentle ripple of oceanic bubbles tingling our feet and ankles?

We have various beaches to excite our post-summer senses such as Southend-on-Sea or Mersea. Just walking along a sea front, listening to the waves and the whole ambience of the seaside is something which exhilarates and brings back a certain tranquility in today’s hyperactive world.

Unfortunately we’re all juggling too much, phones, emails, parental and business responsibilities plus the regular daily grind.

I read somewhere (and apologies for not remembering where) that the sea is calming because in our subconscious, it reminds us of being in the womb, rather like having a bath is something of a foetal experience too; calming, safe and relaxed. But rather than make this feature too deep and analytical, let’s think about the beach.

As a 1960s child, I vividly recall the fun at Peter Pan’s playground in Southend-on-Sea; eating candy floss which resulted in a blue tongue, risking broken teeth for a nut ring and then a big plate of fish ‘n chips. Mushy peas are

2 6 SEPTEMBER 2016

essential, together with lots of vinegar and sticky tartare sauce. And not forgetting the Cadbury’s ’99 ice-cream and a little dish of cockles – not at the same time! Also my favourite exercise of looking at the postcards and giggling at the naughty ones. It’s such a shame they’re now considered politically incorrect and passé, although I must admit to discreet fumblings at the postcard rack in my eager pursuit of a cartoon gem. Getting sunburnt was always a by-product of the day’s jaunt and nausea from the colouring infused sugar rush.

So aside my reminiscing happy, childhood days and now as an adult, the seaside still beckons (for all of the reasons above) but also for the tranquility afforded in an environment which seems less hassled and more relaxed. Just because it’s not summer anymore, doesn’t mean we can’t have a late night paddle, dinner at an open air restaurant, or simply to sit on a deckchair under a dark night filled with a million stars, listening to the waves, breathing in the air and feeling at one with nature. n

New events announced for London's month-long celebration of eating out

N

ew events for 2016 include The Ultimate Gastronomic Weekend, London’s Longest Lunch - and special menus held in over 250 of the most influential restaurants.

October is the month for eating out.

This year’s line-up already includes: Angela Hartnett, Michel Roux, Richard Corrigan, Theo Randall, Yotam Ottolenghi, James Lowe, Skye Gyngell, Nathan Outlaw, Anton Mossiman, Jeremy Lee, Philip Howard, Tom Aitkens, Brunswick House Cafe, Kitty Fisher’s, Taberna do Mercado, Pitt Cue, Andaz, Noble Rot, Nuno Mendes, The Shard…. and hundreds more. The festival has two elements: the unique Festival Menus programme and the exclusive LRF Restaurant Experiences.

1st - 31st October 2016

FESTIVAL MENUS The LRF Festival Menu enables diners to try a great value, bespoke menu at a vast range of London’s leading restaurants – from the Michelin-starred to the neighbourhood hotspots.

at the 5-Star Andaz London hotel. On Sunday, they’ll enjoy a lunch hosted by Michel Roux at The Landau, followed by a VIP tour of the Royal food hall at Fortnum & Mason.

London’s Longest Lunch. Also new for 2016, this extraordinary one-off six-course lunch features pop-ups at two of the most exciting Thames developments: three-courses by Richard Corrigan at Embassy Gardens and then three from Kitty Fisher’s Tomos Parry.

Through LRF’s inaugural partnership with Enotria&Coe and Great Western Wine, over 30 wine producers are being flown to London during the festival and hosting many events with partner restaurants.

For London’s Longest Lunch the sommeliers are wine producers themselves - serving their wine.

Veuve Clicquot Gourmet Odyssey is LRF’s annual sell-out gastronomic road trip aboard a red Routemaster bus. Opening with a Veuve Cliquot reception followed by a starter, main course and dessert in three of London’s leading restaurants, including The Manor, Noble Rot and Morito Hackney. Champagne is served with every course.

Chef-Hosted Lunches and Dinners. Headline sponsor American Express is offering its Card members exclusive access to join ten of London’s greatest chefs: Anton Mossiman, Nuno Mendes, Yotam Ottolenghi, Skye Gyngell, Jeremy Lee, Angela Hartnett, Theo Randall, Philip Howard, Tom Aikens and Nathan Outlaw to enjoy a menu inspired by their favourite places in the world.

Tasting Menus. Another addition for 2016. A selection of restaurants will serve tasting menus ranging from four to ten courses.

All are paired with wines selected by Enotria&Coe winemakers, who will be there on the night, or spirits such as the 16-course kaiseki menu at Tokimeitď paired with Suntory Japanese whisky. Restaurants taking part include Tokimeitď, Santa Maria, Barrafina, Republic PopUp, Dickie Fitz and Osteria.

Restaurant-Hopping Tours. An LRF classic. This year sees a focus on specific cuisine such as Tapas, Cicchetti and Sushi or culinary hotspots such as Heddon St and Devonshire Square. Each tour features a tasting plate in five different restaurants with drinks too.

Devonshire Square, Soho Tour and Cicchetti Trail will be hosted by Enotria&Coe wine producers.

Eat Film will screen legendary films about food including Babette’s Feast, Big Night, Sideways and Eat Drink Man Woman in the wonderful Temple Cinema in the 5-Star Andaz hotel. Moviegoers have dinner before, or after, the film as well as gourmet popcorn and drinks throughout.

Restaurant Wine Tasting Learn more about the best wine to order in restaurants, in the beautiful surroundings of the Andaz Studio. In conjunction with Wine Partner Enotria&Coe and Great Western Wine, exciting and iconic producers have flown in from across the globe, so you can learn from them what makes their wines so special.

e should be relaxing in glorious sunshine right about now, w, but it’s it’ fair to say this summer’s been a washout so far, with m more than its fair share of wind, rain and even floodingg.. With sunbathing oppor opportunities so few and far between, it’s time to hit the bottle - the self-tan bottle, that is. The good news is this year’s also brought, well, a flood of new products that will help you get your glow on in no time. Whether you’re a self-tan newbie or practically a pro, here are the best ways to fake it this summer...

HYPOXI

S

ylwia Blackman is the leading local Hypoxi therapist and owner of Hypoxi South Woodford.

She has spent the past decade taking fitness to another level. With a vast library of information on the subject, she has studied anatomy and physiology, nutrition, and muscle strength in detail. In 2009 she opened Hypoxi WLS and unsurprisingly, has gone from strength to strength.

“I have managed to make over 3500 clients into better shape and health she proudly boasts” and I’d love to make more life readers part of that success e Summer break is almost over kids back to school and your holiday an almost distant memory …apart from those extra pounds an inches where you may be over indulged in one too many tropical cocktails or that delicious tavernas signature dish !

Maybe you want to drop a dress size or tone up or drop a few inches around your waist, it's important to think about the fuel you are putting in your body and also to get your body moving staying trim and toning.

HYPOXI® is becoming increasingly popular because of its ease and quick results. A secret amongst of many stars including Victoria Beckham who uses this to stay cellulite free, Cheryl Cole to transform her body from her early Girls Aloud days until now and to maintain her size 0 figure and Robbie Williams used HYPOXI to gain his six pack.

Sylwia explains how the revolutionary HYPOXI® machines remove desired fat deposits by combining alternating pressure therapy, through suction suits and vacuum technology with gentle exercise, to reduce fat tissue and smooth the skin. Sylwia added that ‘’HYPOXI is like nothing else on the market we watch people transform their bodies with as little as four sessions a week for 4-12 weeks – slimming out their bodies and reducing cellulite. It’s magic!''.

Boasting four different machines that help burn fat, reshape and enhance the body. HYPOXI® exercise bike is encased in an egg-shaped pod that is designed to reduce 4 6 SEPTEMBER 2016

cellulite by stimulating blood flow and draining toxins from the lower part of your body. HYPOXI® trains the skin and strengthen the connective tissues. High and low pressure is applied to improve blood flow while gently exercising the skin to make it firmer and more elastic. .

Here are Sylwia's top tips on shaping up for the summer: 1 - TAKE CONTROL Losing weight and toning up is going to take commitment and not just wishful thinking. Have you got it in you?

2 - KEEP A FOOD DIARY It can educate, guide and inspire - and it will be the first thing a nutritionist, personal trainer or dietitian asks you to do.

3 - BUY A DECENT PAIR OF TRAINERS Preventing injury is better than cure. Recovering from a sports injury can be a tedious process involving osteopaths, physiotherapists and a slow build back to full fitness, so avoid putting yourself in that position in the first place.

5 - THINK LITTLE AND OFTEN Let's face it, there are some people out there who are just not five-times-a-week-to-the-gym health freaks. is is where the tortoise and hare theory comes in. A small commitment to exercise on a regular basis is better than no commitment at all.

Feel Good DENTISTRY MEN - ARE YOU LEAVING IT TOO LATE?

O

ver the years, I have noticed that more of my patients tend to be women. Women generally look after themselves better, and maybe are more concerned with their appearance. Men on the other hand, tend to be more nervous when it comes to going to the dentist, and also may feel more embarrassed about the state of their dental health.

• Arrange a free initial consultation (we offer a large X-ray, photographs and an informal chat so that you can find out more about treatment options).

• See a hygienist – have your teeth and gums cleaned professionally and comfortably.

• Start with some basic treatment to build up your confidence and realize it is really not a big deal…

“IF IT AIN’T BROKE, DON’T FIX IT.” Often there may be subtle problems in the mouth such as gum disease or teeth wearing down. A person may feel that things are not hurting me or bothering me, so “I’ll leave it! is approach always results in more complex and costly treatment in the long term. Sometimes, because of a bad experience in the past, a person may decide they will NOT go to the dentist, and in this way decades may go by. Look at the before and after photographs of two of my patients. One gentleman came to me with an emergency problem, and one was referred to me by a dentist as the problems had become too complex for him to treat. Both these patients spent many hours in the dental chair!

SUMMARY Sometimes taking that first step is the most difficult thing.

As you become older, you may start to worry: • What if I lose more teeth and can’t eat properly?

• I am more conscious of my smile than before – this is affecting my confidence.

• How long can I ignore my broken/decayed teeth? I am worried about getting a painful abscess.

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

Case 2 (before)

Case 1 (after)

WHAT IS THE BEST ADVICE IF YOU ARE WORRIED OR SCARED OF VISITING THE DENTIST? e answer to this is quite simple – do something about it: • Educate yourself more (e.g. visit our informative website www.smiledesignbyash.co.uk).

• Visit and review the dental practice you may wish to use – it is important to meet the dentist and staff who will look after you.

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.

POST HOLIDAY REPAIR TREATMENTS WITH FRANCES FURLONG

is month I will focus on treatments to help with Post Holiday Repair issues to the face and body. I often see clients really going to town with looking their best prior to their holiday, working out at the gym and body brushing to look the best they can on the beach, but unfortunately a week or two in the sun can undo some of our hard work. We typically tend to be less active, indulge more in food and alcoholic drinks, as well as soaking up the sun to get a glowing tan, so here are some quick fix tips to get you back on track!

1- WEIGHT GAIN IN LOCALISED AREAS AND BLOATING Excessive indulgence in richer foods and alcohol in conjunction with a more sedentary lifestyle almost always equates to weight gain, sluggish digestive system and bloating.

Home treatment - A three day detox juice cleanse can really help with bloating and help you lose a few pounds to help you kickstart a return to a healthier way of life. ere are also some great apps for simple and quick workouts at home, ideal for those who aren't fans of the gym, have young children or who don't simply have the time. Burn off those extra calories and kick start your metabolism.

Clinic treatment - Mesotherapy is a great way of helping to blast fat cells in localised areas and to help smooth out dimpled skin, typically 3-5 treatments given every week can really help. It also helps speed up the lymphatic system and improves a sluggish system. Colonic irrigation is a good way of cleansing the bowel and helps flatten the stomach, used in conjunction with probiotics to boost your immune system.

2-POST HOLIDAY SPOTS/ACNE e sun, sea and sand although great for the sun-kissed glow we seek can cause over secretion of our oil producing glands in the hot and often humid climates chosen as popular holiday destinations. A combination of oil excess and pore blockage by thick sunscreen, sand and often lack of sleep with late nights can cause post holiday acne.

Home Treatment - Gentle face wash with glycolic and salicylic acid and pre soaked face pads at night to deeply clean and smooth the skin.

Combine this with non comedogenic moisturisers.

Clinic treatment - One or two light skin peels can really help clean the skin and reduce acne and new red scars, also helps to lift any new sun damage, gives the skin a real healthy glow. In some cases a prescription for antibiotics can also be given depending on the severity.

5 0 SEPTEMBER 2016

3. DRY LACK LUSTRE HAIR Swimming in the sea or even in chlorinated swimming pools can strip the essential oils from our hair, which give’s it it’s healthy lustrous shine.

Home treatment - A deep conditioning treatment to repair the frazzled out hair cortex and restore its natural shine and lustre. Find a hair mask that suits your hair, anything from Aussie hair mask miracle up to brands like Kerastase will all help, use weekly for 6 weeks also specialist masks from Balmain can be good for hair extensions.

4. DRY SKIN Our skin in warm humid climates tends to retain its moisture however skin irritants found out doors such as sand or chemicals in skin care products combined with a climate our skin isn’t used to can result in dry skin or a flare of eczema.

Home treatment - By using a heavier moisturiser than you’re used to i.e. thicker creams, ointments or balms you can replenish the lost oil from your stratum corneum (outer layer of the skin). Also opt for serums containing hyaluronic acid to help plump the skin and diminish fine wrinkles.

Clinic treatment - Mesotherapy to the face, neck and décolletage involves micro Injections of vitamins, minerals, peptides and anti ageing elixirs to help nourish and repair the skin. Have a session once a week for three weeks and see the skin transform. For deeper in built hydration Restylane have an amazing skin booster called vital, three sessions are needed 4 weeks apart, can be used on the face or body, helps to repair and smooth out dry and wrinkled skin.

BASAL CELL CARCINOMA DETECTION Cause - over exposure to the sun and sunbeds, more common in fairer skin types.

Signs - starts as a small lump or spot that doesn't heal and grows in size over several years.

Appears to have a pearl like or shiny look, the middle is often sunken.

Treatment superficial BCC' scan be treated with cryotherapy or cutterage. For larger lesions surgery may be the answer. Catching these lesions early will help to reduce the scar size post surgery. n

“My new smile has given me a new lease of life!”

WORDS BY DEE BROWN

G

raham first heard of Smile Design by Ash from Sheree Davenport, the interior designer who helped create the luxurious, spa like atmosphere at the practice. As the founder of Exclusively Events, a networking group for elite businesses Graham dealt with clients on a one to one basis everyday and wanted to improve his smile.

Graham decided to visit the practice and meet Ash personally to see how we could help give him a life changing transformation. When visiting the practice Graham was surprised, “the practice was more like a relaxing boutique hotel than a dental surgery.” After a chat over coffee Graham made the decision to have a comprehensive assessment with Ash. e full assessment provided the detailed measurements and records to plan Graham’s treatment.

Ash and Graham decided together that the best way to get Graham the smile he wanted in the time frame he had was with a Smile Makeover using porcelain veneers. After a professional cleaning session and home whitening with Philips ZOOM! Graham was ready for the porcelain veneer preparation. “e treatment I had was always of an exceptional standard and at all times felt as comfortable as could be expected. I was nervous before having my treatment but Ash has a very calm professional approach that helped me relax and actually look forward to my visits.”

Since Graham’s smile transformation he is a changed man. “I have never liked going to the dentist. It has always been a cold, clinical and rather uncomfortable experience for me. Smile Design by Ash is at the other end of the spectrum and has given me the best dental experience I have ever had. My new smile has given me a lease of life helping my appearance look younger. e health of my mouth has improved significantly thanks to the skills and experience of Ash. e Team delivered a first class experience!” n

FINE TUNING

AT COUNTRYWIDE PIANOS

C

ountrywide Pianos has been proudly serving both the local and wider community since 1986 and we have developed from small beginnings to become the largest, premier showroom in the SouthEast of England.

The piano’s magical sound is created by the player pressing any one of its 88 keys, which creates a note. This happens through a complex hammer-on-string mechanism, which needs to be perfectly regulated and tuned. In the 1900’s a piano which played by itself, by reading a punched out paper roll, was all the rage.

Today pianos are sophisticated musical instruments, which may not only play themselves but can be enhanced by full orchestral and vocal parts – in essence providing a live orchestral performance in your own sitting room.

Today the punched out paper rolls have been replaced with the very latest digital technology, incorporated within a real acoustic piano, which can be played as a regular piano. Seeing, however is believing and a visit to Countrywide Pianos for a full demonstration is recommended.

Our showroom is an array of both new and pre loved pianos with a price range to suit all pockets -from the upright piano to the very largest of full size concert grand piano, self player pianos, ‘Silent’ Yamaha pianos, together with the ultimate in electric digital pianos, you really will find it fun making your choice and for those who may need assistance there is always help and advice on hand.

Being perfectly located just 35 minutes outside of

London with our own FREE car parking right outside the door, shopping is made easy and enjoyable.

For both private parties/weddings to theatre and full concert event hire, our specialist in –house team will bring together a package providing the right instrument for both venue and event.

We will arrange delivery and collection together with onsite tuning and 24 hour event support. With all of this to offer and our specialist knowledge, it is little wonder that we have become first choice for many major events anywhere in the UK. At Countrywide Pianos, our in- house team of piano specialists include, piano technicians to piano tuners, piano polishers to our own piano logistics team, we offer a service next to none. A traditional service, which holds on to the best but moves with the times. Countrywide Piano Centre www. countrywidepianos.co.uk is as traditional as the piano itself.

efectory is a modern interpretation inspired by monastic dinning rooms, prep school dining halls, and Ivy League and English University eating quarters. The furniture in the Refectory collection has inset doors with a simple stepped profile. The Collection features signature pieces inspired by antique English icebox designs using hand selected quartered white oak. Hand brushed fitted cabinetry provides character scale and proportion.

The simple stepped detailing, large architectural moldings, and our signature oversized latches combine to suit the modern grand homes of today. It’s our take on creating the

The simple stepped detailing, large architectural moldings, and our signature oversized latches combine to suit the modern grand homes of today perfect transitional space.

The hardware in the Collection has been designed by Christopher Peacock and finished in polished nickel. Specifically,

the chunky icebox roller latches and strap hinges are a modern interpretation of a classic. “The hardware in the refectory collection had to be beautiful as well adhere to this notion of scale that is inherent in it. I think of the hardware as cabinet jewellery and, as such, the character of the room is often defined by the choices made. It is important that it function well within a hectic modern family,” said Christopher Peacock.

THE FALL AND RISE OF THE GAS FIRE

A

few years ago there was gloom and doom in the consumer gas fire industry. e consumer cost of gas had risen around the beginning of the recession and at the time fires were largely inefficient and there was very limited range of styles available. is led to a marked reduction in the number of gas fires sold in the United Kingdom and sadly some manufacturers went out of business with the inevitable predictions about the end of the gas fire as we know it. Wood burning stoves had also become (and still are) very popular for various reasons including their ability to really warm a room or in some cases the whole home.

Getting on for ten years later those fire manufacturers that were able to weather the storm responded by developing fires with far greater heating capability and also offering a plethora of different styles to satisfy the demands of most if not all homeowners and interior designers. Many fires are designed to suit existing chimneys however the balanced flue gas fires do not need a chimney and can create a unique ambience in virtually any space. ey’re the perfect focal point, generating a warm, cozy atmosphere, while adding a striking architectural element to any space.

Because there are no restrictions in terms of chimney size, balanced flue gas fires are available in a huge range of sizes, shapes and designs. ere are wide fires in a range of widths up to two metres, portrait and landscape models, 2-sided, 3-sided and see-through tunnel fires as well as freestanding contemporary gas stoves and those suitable for including in a more traditional fireplace setting.

Although it is possible to install a balanced flue gas fire into a standard brick chimney many are installed into a false chimneybreast. is cleverly conceals the body of the fire and flue revealing just the interior with its realistic fire bed. In many cases the false chimneybreast can also house the TV

above the fire for an ultra sleek contemporary appearance but seek professional advice from a fireplace specialist first.

When visiting a fireplace showroom you should now expect to see a range of fires to suit all design needs, as well as trained staff that can understand what you are trying to achieve and offer the necessary advice and guidance. At Ash & Embers you will find gas fires from Drugasar, Ortal, Vision Trimline, Kinder & Gazco amongst others, as well as the extensive range of wood burning stoves. With extensive showrooms located in Abridge the company can help choosing the right fire to suit the room and offer a complete design and installation service to suit most budgets.n

The Property Investor and Homebuyer Show The UK's largest and longest running property investment event - The Property Investor & Homebuyer Show returns to ExCeL London for its 'Autumn Edition'

T

he UK's premier property expo is the “Must Attend” event for anyone serious about making money from property investment.

It is the ideal place for networking, obtaining reliable and up to date property market information and, of course, property to buy.

It is designed to cater for all levels of property experience – everyone from the novice to the seasoned investor will find an answer to their questions.

With 130+ exhibitors expected and approximately 70 seminars, presentations and panel debates scheduled, you can identify the expertise and advice you need to make the right decisions on your specific area of investment interest.

UK property (e.g. Buy to Let, Student Accommodation, Hotel Rooms) - plus property-related and financial services make up more than half of the show content.

Approximately 40% of the floor space will be dedicated to International property and provides the opportunity to compare established overseas markets such as USA, Spain, France, Portugal & Cyprus with emerging/ newer locations e.g. South East Asia, India and West Africa. International agents and developers will be present alongside specialists who can advise you on the process of buying, selling, and even moving overseas.

October’s show highlights will include ...

LITTLE BURSTEAD

“Having lived and grown up in Little Burstead we knew this house well and couldn’t believe our luck when it came onto the market.

As soon as we walked into the hall we knew we had to buy the house, it has a great family feel and the accommodation flows well, it is perfect. We have had some wonderful Christmas gatherings and great parties here.

There is such a lovely community feel within the village, everybody cares, it is such a welcoming and safe place to live.

The person who designed the kitchen certainly must have been a cook, so much thought has been put into the design and it is a pleasure to cook in. There is plenty of space for the family to congregate and enjoy family meals, it really is the hub of the house.”
