A LESSON IN PLANNING FOR SCHOOL FEES

W

ith the results of the latest eleven-plus exams released last month, many parents and children will be left disappointed as demand for grammar school places far outstrips

supply. Some schools in Essex have reported as having as many as 840 applicants for 150 places.

Prime Minister Teresa May plans to make up to £50 million a year available for new grammar schools, but if you don’t have access to a good state school, then you may be considering a private school education for your child. e average cost of private school day fees in Essex is currently around £13,800 per annum per child.

You may have already set aside savings for this purpose, or you may have a high disposable income. However it is important to note that the commitment to meet the costs of your child’s private education is a long term one, and over the last decade private school fees have consistently risen faster than wages and inflation.

A portfolio of asset backed investments such as shares, commercial property and commodities has historically been an effective way to outperform inflation, thereby offsetting the impact of rising fees. Tax paying spouses can also generate a significant tax free income, by utilising their respective tax free dividend allowances, interest allowances, Capital Gains Tax allowances and ISAs. Grandparents may also assist by placing cash or physical assets into trust for the purpose of school/university fees, which can then be drawn on tax efficiently for the grandchild potentially mitigating Inheritance Tax on the grandparents’ estate.

1 2 OCTOBER 2016

Other investments offer significant tax relief to the investor.

Individuals making a tax relievable pension contribution can claim back income tax paid at their highest marginal rate via self-assessment. Venture Capital Trusts (VCTs) invest in smaller companies and offer income tax relief at 30% on your initial investment, providing a lump sum as well as tax free dividends to meet an ongoing need for income.

However, VCTs are high risk and not suitable for all investors. ere are many combinations of investments and tax wrappers which may be suitable for school fees planning, and it is crucial that you talk to an independent and trusted professional who will look at the whole of the market to find the appropriate solution for your individual circumstances. e Scrutton Bland Private Client Service combines the services of a Financial Adviser and also a Personal Tax Specialist who will jointly work with you to facilitate an ongoing strategy that maximises return, manages risk and provides for tax efficient income and capital growth.

If you’d like to talk to us about ways of securing a tax-efficient income to provide for school or university fees, please contact Michelle Groves n

EVENTS, HUNTING LODGE AND FUNGI!

T

he poet, John Clare, who spent a great deal of time in Epping Forest, whilst at the Asylum in High Beach, opened his poem ‘Autumn’:

“e summer-flower has run to seed, And yellow is the woodland bough; And every leaf of bush and weed Is tipt with Autumn’s pencil now.

And I do love the varied hue, And I do love the browning plain; And I do love each scene to view, at’s mark’d with beauties of her reign.”

Autumn is a wonderful season to behold in Epping Forest and the City of London Corporation have a host of events planned to entice you out into the glorious, ancient woodlands.

Queen Elizabeth's Hunting Lodge, right next to e View visitor centre, is a unique example of a surviving timber-framed hunt standing still surrounded by its medieval royal hunting forest and home to regular heritage events. Visitors to the Lodge, built on the orders of Henry VIII in 1543, can enjoy exhibitions on Tudor food and fashion, and soak up the atmosphere of an incredible building nearly 500 years after it was first built.

1 4 OCTOBER 2016

© City of London Corporation

THIS YEAR THERE ARE SOME EXCITING EVENTS: • Big Draw goes gothic this year with shadow puppets and the Wanstead story taking centre stage at Queen Elizabeth’s Hunting Lodge on 13 October from 6-8pm.

• Black History MontH is celebrated with a ‘discover and draw Tudors’ event at Queen Elizabeth’s Hunting Lodge on 25 October, 2-4pm.

• MuseuMs at nigHt tuDor pyjaMa anD welly party on ursday 27 October, 6-9pm at Queen Elizabeth’s Hunting Lodge?

• And of course, the October half term wouldn’t be complete without the ever-popular puMpkin carving sessions at Queen Elizabeth’s Hunting Lodge on 28 October from 12 – 4pm.

If you can’t make any of the planned events, the entire Forest is there for all to enjoy, whatever the weather. Take in the spectacular, autumnal colour palette and enjoy the wondrous forms and hues of the fungi. However, please remember it is important that fungi is left untouched in the Forest and is not collected. Collection of fungi is against the byelaws and the fungi is extremely important to the biodiversity of Epping Forest.

Make the most of the internationally important, ancient woodland on your doorstep.

A YEAR IN THE LIFE OF BRAESIDE SCHOOL

I

t was announced in September 2015 that Braeside in Buckhurst Hill had joined the Oak-Tree Group of Schools alongside its new sister schools Coopersale Hall in Epping, Normanhurst in North Chingford and Oaklands in Loughton. Within the last year both sites have had extensive building work carried out and a new Headmistress has been appointed; Claire Osborn, who is also the Headmistress at Normanhurst.

We talk to Matthew Hagger, Oak-Tree Group Managing Principal, about the exciting year of change that Braeside has gone through.

Q: WHAT HAVE BEEN THE BIGGEST PHYSICAL CHANGES TO BRAESIDE? A: On the junior site in Palmerston Road the School Hall has been extended to create a new large servery area with additional storage and toilets. e entire lower ground floor in the main building has been reshaped to create a new ICT Suite with 18 new desktop PCs, new Art Room and Early Years classrooms. e outside play area has been enlarged, reshaped and resurfaced, and there is a new rear entrance bridge to improve access. Other classrooms inside have been refurbished and the School Office has been relocated.

At the senior site the roof of the large Science Block was removed and replaced with a large Music and Drama Studio with additional peripatetic practice rooms. Many of the rooms have been refurbished and we have installed new desktop computers in the ICT Suite. Work has started to extend what will be the new kitchens and we are aiming for the installation to be completed in time for the launch of our full range of lunches in January 2017.

Q: WHAT OTHER CHANGES HAVE BEEN POPULAR WITH FAMILIES? A: We’ve introduced a new scholarship scheme to award several part-scholarships as part of the 11+ entrance process for internal and external applicants. Awards will be made for exceptional ability in the Performing Arts, Sport or academic areas. e curriculum has been extended with new schemes of work, resources and GCSE syllabi. We now teach Spanish up to Year 9, and from September 2017 it will be offered as another GCSE subject. Full wrap around care is now offered from 7.30am to 6pm with a new range of extra-curricular clubs and activities that are proving to be very popular. Parents with younger children are very happy as we now have a Lower Kindergarten and accept children from age 2½.

1 6 OCTOBER 2016

Communication has been enhanced with the introduction of our electronic systems. We have a new website and app, and we email, text, tweet and post regularly to our social media outlets.

Q: HOW HAS BRAESIDE BENEFITED FROM BEING PART OF THE OAK-TREE GROUP? A: As well as being part of strong Group with the resources to make physical improvements, we aim to get our pupils, staff and families from the four schools together as much as possible. Pupils take part in shared learning experiences, inter-school competitions and extra-curricular events such as the Oak-Tree Year 3 overnight Camp, the Oak-Tree Art Exhibition, the Oak-Tree Performing Arts Festival, the Oak-Tree Fireworks Display and the Oak-Tree Summer Ball.

Normanhurst and Braeside have the same timetables so that we can share curricular and extra-curricular activities. For example, our Year 10s are taught together for PE and Drama to benefit both sets of pupils. n

“THE ONLY WAY IS ETHICS…”

“It’s your attitude that determines your altitude.”

T

he weather was sultry but the heat and atmosphere at Café Rouge in Loughton on 15th September was dynamic… Epping Forest Business Group was hosting an event to help local SMEs and their members.

Steve Clarke from Eureka Selling made a presentation which had the forty attendees enthralled and inspired.

Sharing his own brand of professional advice from his own business experience and latterly as a motivational speaker and mentor (he has spoken in forty countries and across five continents) Steve was bursting with ideas and business gems which he wanted to share. Having sold his company which had annual revenues of £32 million after just eight years, the audience were in awe of his experience, the subsequent results and how they might benefit too.

Despite the points being important and in some respects crucial for business success, the atmosphere was light hearted and fun. e key message was clear and succinct with a business fundamental of ‘Add Value and Build Trust’. He reiterated the importance of offering to help people before going into a sales pitch. For those who are shy of sales, Steve’s poignant statement put it all into perspective: “WHATEVER INDUSTRY OR SECTOR YOU’RE IN - WITHOUT SALES YOU DON’T HAVE A BUSINESS - YOU HAVE A HOBBY AND POSSIBLY A VERY EXPENSIVE ONE AT THAT.” e days of cold-calling are now passé. Let your potential client see the benefit of who you know, your expertise, then how they can benefit as a result of contracting your company or you personally. Reputations are paramount and in today’s world, anybody and everybody can access everything.

1 8 OCTOBER 2016

He then invited the attendees to participate in a Seven Day Challenge of ‘not complaining’ both in the office and at home, then to measure the results. Being Mr. Happy at the end of the day afforded far more dividends than being Mr. Grumpy…

"YOUR FUTURE SUCCESS IS DETERMINED

BY THE GOALS YOU SET YOURSELF AND THEN YOUR DRIVE AND DETERMINATION TO MAKE THEM REAL".

One member of EFBG, Ashish Parmar, spoke about his reasons for joining networking groups; his reply was that being part of a business group, facilitated regular and weekly opportunities to develop good relationships with the local community. Attending a networking group wasn’t just about business or referrals, it was also about connections and friendships.

Everybody thoroughly enjoyed the evening; light refreshments were served at the end and it was unanimously agreed, the event had been an absolute success. n EPPING FOREST BUSINESS GROUP MEETS EVERY THURSDAY, 7.30 - 9 AM, AT WOOLSTON MANOR, CHIGWELL, ESSEX IG7 6BX

CARRIER BAGS AND COUNTRYCARE

C

ountrycare is bidding to bag a massive cash boost from the Tesco Bags of Help initiative.

£12.5MILLION CARRIER BAG CHARGE FUND Tesco’s has teamed up with Groundwork on its Bags of Help initiative, which see grants of £12,000, £10,000 and £8,000 – all raised from the 5p bag levy – being awarded to environmental and greenspace projects.

CAST YOUR VOTE Voting is open in the Epping branch from 26 September to 9 October.

Tesco customers can cast their vote using a token given to them at the check-out in store each time they shop.

TESCO’S INITIATIVE is is the second round of the initiative: the first round saw approximately eight million shoppers vote in Tesco stores up and down the country earlier this year.

Lindsey Crompton, Head of Community at Tesco, said: ”e first round of the Bags of Help initiative was a fantastic success.

We are absolutely delighted to open the voting for round two. ere are some fantastic projects on the shortlists and we can’t wait to see them come to life in hundreds of communities” Groundwork’s national Chief Executive, Graham Duxbury, said: ”Bags of Help is giving our communities both the funding and the support to create better, healthier and greener places for everyone to enjoy.”

• 1,248 organisations from Tesco’s 416 regions up and down the UK will receive a share of the Bags of Help fund.

• e initiative is supported by money from the five pence charge levied on single-use carrier bags • More than 2,800 groups up and down the country applied for grants from the scheme. ese were whittled down to three in each of Tesco’s regions • For more information please visit: http://www.tesco.com/bagsofhelp n

COUNTRYCARE’S PLANS Countrycare and their volunteers undertake a wide variety of community-based activities and coordinate a regular programme of practical conservation work in our District.

If given the grant Countrycare will use the money to improve the pond at Nazeing Triangle Local Nature Reserve. e old dipping platform which has become rotten and unsafe will be replaced. e new platform will be wheel chair accessible and will allow people of all ages and abilities to enjoy the pond.

A new board to help people identify what they can see in the reserve will be installed. Pond margins will be planted up with native aquatic species. is will improve the habitat for invertebrates and amphibians encouraging a greater biodiversity in the pond.

Nicola Ceconi Assistant Countryside Manager said: “We are thrilled to have been shortlisted for this grant and are very excited for our project to get underway.”

BUCKHURST HILL, VIPS, MIDDLE EAST AND CLEAN WATER… WORDS: MICHELLE B. HARRIS

E

Images ©David Solomon Ltd.

ssex has certainly been busy with dignitaries visiting Buckhurst Hill and Sinclair House. His Excellency Mark Regev, Ambassador of Israel to the Court of St. James’s visited Sinclair House (Redbridge JCC) and then a few weeks later, Lt. Colonel Miri Eisin (ret) gave a presentation at Buckhurst Hill Chabad.

As Ambassador Regev took centre stage, his presence illuminated the room. His first statement was an apology that despite English being his mother tongue, he spoke with the wrong accent; he’s an Australian who moved to Israel in 1982.

He spoke about his background and work for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF); deputy chief of mission at the consulate in Hong Kong, spokesman at Beijing and Washington D.C, and then spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Jerusalem from 2004-2007.

His manner was controlled,

2 6 OCTOBER 2016

his voice soft and his words were carefully chosen; the presentation felt spontaneous rather than prepared. He spoke without notes and answered questions without pause. He covered a full range of subjects and especially Israel’s achievements, in particular the successfully maintained peace with Jordan and Egypt.

A few weeks later, Lt. Miri Eisin, Col (retired) spoke at the Chabad Centre in Buckhurst Hill. Despite her whirlwind international speaking engagements (she had flown in from the US that morning), she was articulate and animated. Speaking briefly about the region’s history and with particular reference to the effects of the Sykes Picot Map of

1916 (British diplomat Mark Sykes and a French counterpart, François Georges-Picot) which divided the Middle East and its link to current day conflicts with respect to boundaries.

But then like Ambassador Regev, her talk shifted from politics to achievements, especially Israel’s great modern day achievement of the desalination of water. Whilst the world discusses global warming and how this may affect the future, Israel has already produced the technology to recycle water and without chemicals. Despite being one of the driest countries in the world, Israel can now produce more water than it actually needs. Its water treatment systems can recycle 86 per cent of water and is the most efficient country in the world for this process. is technology has also been used to help well systems in African villages. e second country in this league is Spain, which recycles just 19 percent.

Who knows, perhaps water will necessitate a dialogue that can lead to Peace in the Middle East? I would certainly drink a toast to that… and with clean water. n

be a female artist working todayy. New work by Aleksandra Mir, Jeni Spota, and Phoebe Unwin will also now feature as part of the exhibition.

Champagne Life suggests high living, prestige and affluence, qualities that have led to champagne’s h appropriation into H Hip-Hop culture as an indicator of success when hen ar artists transition from economically depressed ssed ghetto to uptown highlife. Applied here to an exhibition bringing together the work of emerging women artists, the irony of the title is palpable and throws into contrast the reality of many long, cold, lonely hours worrking in the studio with the perceived glamour our of the art world.

As an exhibition, Champagne Life does not offer an overarching vista of ‘female’ artistic practice; nor does it presume to statte that there is such a thing. Instead this exh hibition will play an important role in approaching aching issues of the glass ceiling that applies to the art world as much as to the world at larg ge.

Champagne Life features the work k of Mequitta Ahuja, Marie Angeletti, Jele ena Bulajic, Julia Dault, Mia Feuer, Sigrid Holmwood, wood, Virgile Ittah, Seung Ah Paik, Maha Malluh, alluh, Suzanne McClelland, Aleksandra Mirr, Stephanie Quayle, Soheila Sokhanvaari, Jeni Spota, Phoebe Unwin and Julia W Wachtel. ach htel.

Many of these artists have gone on to become central figures in contemporarryy art, ar including cluding

LOVE LOCAL

A PENSIVE MIDNIGHT STROLL IN TEL AVIV WORDS: MICHELLE B. HARRIS

D

uring a recent trip to the Middle East, I managed to grab a few days in Tel Aviv before returning home.

Tired from travel, restless from running around, trying to sleep was a useless exercise that was more effort than result. I felt confined in my room and just needed to go for a walk but it was 11.45 p.m. Would I do that at home? Definitely not… but I could hear the cars whizzing by, a few people talking, laughing, music from the beach restaurants… perhaps that’s why I couldn’t sleep? Either way curiosity and exhaustion can sometimes make you feel inclined to behave in an unusual way, but I wanted to get out of the room; the street and beach beckoned…

‘Tel Aviv – e City at Never Sleeps’… for a moment I wondered if that referred to tourists or trade.

So packing up a small bag with just hotel card and a 20 New Israeli Shekel (NIS) note, pad and pencil (as writers never go anywhere without these), I ventured outside. e night air was cooling, the breeze from the Mediterranean refreshing. From my hotel on Hayarkon, the beach was just across the road. Surprisingly it was crowded; families, couples, people on their own, the only danger was the cyclists who peddle at extraordinary speed.

You hear them in the distance and within a nanosecond they’re going/flying past. ey are scary! Despite the designated cycling lanes, clearly these were more aesthetic than respected rules.

I sat on a bench, stared up to the midnight sky; dark and brightly lit with a million stars. I walked along the beach, the sand felt like soft brown sugar as its grains fell between my toes. Despite my earlier reticence, the

3 2 OCTOBER 2016

midnight stroll was wonderful. e sound of the waves, people relaxing and having fun. Could it be any more perfect? Actually YES – because I spotted an ice-cream stand that was still open… at 20 NIS note… the minimal loose change in case of an emergency. An ice-cream emergency! Fumbling around I couldn’t find it and felt absolute despair, then remembered it was in the pocket. I took out that green note and felt like a millionaire; I walked with purpose to the ice-cream oasis. All the flavours were available, so much wonderful choice and just one 20 NIS note. e ice-cream prices were 15 NIS for one scoop, 22 NIS for two… (Life’s a bitch – two shekels short of a second scoop). It was to be just one scoop only so the choice was an important one. I opted for Nougat… I was not disappointed….

So slowing savouring each lick of the scoop for a brief moment of time, everything stood still. So calm and wonderful, where nothing mattered except to hold onto the moment and feeling. ere really is so much to see in Tel Aviv such as Jaffa, Dizengoff St, e Museum of Art, but at midnight, on the beach at Hayarkon… it’s only comparison would be Utopia. n

Live like Royalty at London's most sought-after new address

Royalty fans can now live within 110 yards of Buckingham Palace thanks to several new prestigious housing developments in the SW1 postcode - where residents can boast the Queen as a neighbour...

A

penthouse at one of several prestigious new housing developments will bring a certain idiosyncratic rhythm to your day, as you see the Queen and her entourage come and go, and the Changing of the Guard. The character of the oncearistocratic area immediately to the west of the Palace, changed dramatically over the 20th century with the arrival of office blocks, traffic jams and souvenir shops setting the tone in Buckingham Palace Road.

Today, however, readily available permission to convert offices back into homes and more realistic pricing of property in central London are bringing quality homes with lower service charges to UK-based buyers, in an area re-emerging as fashionable.

On a corner site directly opposite the Palace and its 42-acre grounds is No 1 Palace Street, a new scheme of 72 apartments. Originally built as a grand Victorian hotel in the Beaux-Arts style to host VIPs and royal guests, it later became government offices. It is being restored to its former splendour by specialist property company Northacre. The apartments, with 16ft-high ceilings, will be completed in 2019. Prices from £2,145,000. Call 020 7349 8000.

Exquisite flats created behind a listed façade at 22 Buckingham Gate are a welcome change from the sanitised “international hotel” look of many high-end London developments. Once offices, this is now a collection of large, light homes.

Beyond the entrance lobby, there is direct lift entry to each apartment, while a home-automation system allows remote control of lighting, heating and security. With 999-year leases, prices range from £1,395,000 to £5.5million - equating to £1,800 per square foot, half the price of the best homes in nearby Belgravia and St James’s. The duplex penthouse boasts a view of Nelson’s Column. Call 020 7664 6649.

Six vast luxury flats of up to 5,189sq ft are for sale at The Buckingham, a conversion of a historic listed townhouse, with interior design by David Collins Studio. Prices from £9,950,000. Call 020 7235 9959.

And coming soon is a 39-home Buckingham Gate scheme by boutique developer Artesian.

IN THE PIPELINE Grosvenor Gardens House, built in 1867, was then Britain’s first serviced apartment block with shops at street level. Having suffered waves of alterations as offices, it will again become a residential block, with concierge services provided by The Goring Hotel, the neighbouring luxurious establishment where the Duchess of Cambridge spent her last night as a single woman before marrying Prince William.

Another 16 flats are being created at 35 Old Queen Street, in the Birdcage Walk conservation area.

Feel Good DENTISTRY INCREASING DENTAL ISSUES WITH AGE… INTRODUCTION As we get older, there are certain dental problems that are more common. Often these issues don’t hurt or cause any obvious concerns, but left untreated can result in the loss of many teeth in the future. Examples include: Gum disease - teeth can get looser without ideal homecare and professional regular hygienist gum cleaning.

Wear of teeth - with use, teeth can wear away resulting in increased sensitivity, and cosmetic problems.

Darkening of teeth - as teeth age, they become darker. Having straighter and whiter teeth makes people look younger and better.

Missing teeth - loss of back teeth makes chewing food more difficult, resulting in bigger pieces of food going into the stomach and digestive health problems.

Confidence - due to a combination of the above, many people feel embarrassed with their smile or appearance, and this can really affect their confidence when going out and meeting people.

experience previously, or if they have always put others first (mothers focus on children and decades go by before they realize that they are suffering in different ways dentally). I believe eyesight and teeth are very important. Take that first step to find out more about your mouth.

LOOKING YOUNGER AND FEELING BETTER Good health is the most important thing as we get older. ey say “Your health is your wealth”. Having strong, healthy teeth allows proper function and enjoyment of food – which is one of the best pleasures of life. Having an attractive smile also makes one look younger and more confident. In fact, having a well-designed smile to suit the individual can make a person look 10 years younger! I feel privileged to be able to change the lives of many of my patients on a daily basis.

At Smile Design By Ash, you have no need to fear anything in dentistry, nor will you ever be made to feel embarrassed.

We are here to support you on your journey to achieve a problem free mouth, with minimal maintenance in the future.

We have the expertise, technology and skill to make this journey comfortable and efficient. e choice is simple: possibly suffer with pain and discomfort, or have a healthy and confident smile. n

WHY NOW? You may have been considering improving your dental health for a long time. People often ignore dental problems if they are too busy with work and life, if they have had a bad

MODE BEAUTY THERAPY TOPS FOR FACIAL LIFTING

W

ho wouldn’t want to see pictures of themselves nicely airbrushed, looking great and feeling younger – just like a facelift?

Now there is a unique piece of equipment available locally that can do the job for real and no knives required.

Classys Ultraformer III is a non-invasive skin tightening procedure currently available at Mode Beauty erapy in Old Station Road, Loughton.

Visible signs of ageing such as lines, wrinkles and loose skin no longer have to be an inevitable part of getting old.

Previously many people choose to reverse these signs with face lift surgery. is has been one of the most commonly requested procedures by both men and women who want to look as young as they feel. It’s performed to remove or reduce skin that has lost its natural elasticity - usually around the eyes, mouth and jaw line - smooth the skin, reduce lines and wrinkles and rejuvenate a tired-looking appearance. e Classys Ultraformer III does all that and more.

Just ask Angie, 51 from Woodford who says:

“When I heard about this treatment I wanted to try it because I thought it would give me what I have wanted for some time - better looking skin and a younger look and it has! I am thrilled and all done in just one hour.”

Karen Montagnino who founded MODE Beauty erapy says “I have been in this business for 30 years and this piece of kit is by far and away the best I have come across. It’s amazing and incredibly it does all you would want from a facelift without the knife. ere is only one other Ultraformer III and that’s in Harley Street.”

Men as well as women are welcome to find out more, just contact MODE. e facts: A revolutionary treatment that uses the power of gentle yet powerful ultrasound to lift not just the skin but also the deep muscle layer underneath, which previously was reached by surgical facelifts.

Will stimulate growth of new collagen over time to gradually strengthen and tone skin from within.

In less than an hour you can go about your day after a single procedure for tighter, firmer, better-fitting skin. You may notice a short-term "boost" but the natural process of creating new, more elastic collagen builds over time. n

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!''.

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.

AUTUMNAL INSPIRATION

from Courthouse Clinics

K

eats famously described autumn as the “season of mists and mellow fruitfulness”. It’s also the ideal time to re-evaluate your beauty and wellbeing regime. Hot summer days may raise the spirits, but skin often pays the price for prolonged sun exposure. Long autumnal evenings offer the perfect opportunity to repair any summer damage, and to prep and protect your skin in time for winter. And as the mercury falls, thoughts invariably turn to the approach of Christmas, and the start of the party season.

Most people associate the Christmas period with inevitable weight gain. But Courthouse Clinics could help you to lose around a stone in weight – before the party season even begins – with our Alevere erapy.

Alevere is a doctor-led, non-surgical, rapid weight loss programme that can help you reach your ideal weight – and you won’t need to starve or spend hours in the gym. Alevere features an easy-to-follow meal plan, teamed with effective treatments to break down stubborn fat and tighten skin. Patients also receive medical support from our qualified doctors, and plenty of guidance from our professional clinic staff.

So if you’re keen to drop a dress size – or look stunning in your dress suit – why not become part of Courthouse Clinics’ Alevere success story? You have nothing to lose, except the unwanted weight!

Other popular treatments in the run-up to the party season are Botox and Dermal Fillers. Botox is the world’s most popular anti-ageing treatment. At Courthouse Clinics only our qualified, experienced doctors provide it, to ensure safe and natural-looking results. Botox is an ideal solution to facial lines and wrinkles, especially on the forehead and around the eyes – but it can also be used to treat migraines and excessive sweating.

Dermal Fillers are the perfect complement to Botox, as they work particularly well to address the signs of ageing typically seen on the lower half of the face. As with Botox, at Courthouse Clinics only our qualified, experienced doctors provide Dermal Fillers. ey help to lift and plump the skin, refreshing the facial contours to create a more youthful-looking complexion. In addition to the face, Dermal Fillers can also be used to counter signs of ageing on the hands, neck and décolletage.

For more information on any of these treatments, or to book a consultation, call Courthouse Clinics today on 0845 555 5050. We look forward to hearing from you. n

MOBILE PHYSIOTHERAPY ON YOUR DOORSTEP - HOME OR AWAY!

D

AB Physiotherapy offers a range of treatments with home visits top of the list. Why? Because research suggests the more relaxed the patient the better they cope with pain.

Calming and non-invasive treatments can make all the difference to how patients respond. Getting to the heart of the problem and working on the injured area means a better resolve for the patient and, in the long run, less pain.

Deborah Barlow, founder of DAB Physiotherapy, has spent her career looking after other people’s health and fitness. Originally from a sports and exercise background and personal fitness trainer she has spent many years engaged in a variety of sports injuries.

Deborah gained her first Honours degree in fitness and health 20 years ago and since then completed many modules in sports and exercise rehabilitation, nutrition and weight management. Another Honours degree in physiotherapy followed.

Add to that her experience and expertise diagnosing and solving aches, pains and trauma and you have the ‘go to’ expert - HOME OR AWAY!

DAB mobile physiotherapy takes the pain out of travelling to get help

DAB Physiotherapy is also the first to offer e-consultations, via Skype, from home or office and email queries or issues for an instant response.

Deborah’s team includes Win Hinds, Personal Fitness Trainer who has been in business for 10 years. Win provides a full post physio service that will help with prevention of further injuries which is most important.

Client Aliya Dallara says “I have never felt so pain free in my life. rough the dry needling and exercise regime Deborah devised for me I was able to relieve my back pain, fix my posture and lose weight. I can definitely recommend her services as she is very knowledgeable, professional and accommodating.”n

“

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.

T

hat would have been the headline back in 1975, it was also the year that Margaret atcher took over as leader of the Conservative party and when Dr Dairmuid McCann opened his dental surgery in Epping , oh and by the way West Ham beat Fulham 2.0 to win the cup!

92 High Road Epping had been a dental surgery since the 60s , but Dr Mcann brought it, closed it, re-furbished and brought it up to date, then re-opened it and has been practicing there ever since.

Moving on 41 years and although the surgery has kept up with most modern practices and technologies it is time for another chapter in its history. e surgery now belongs to Dr Rezaie and with him comes a team of new dentist each brining a new skill. Although Dr Mcann will still be at the practice he has chosen to cut down his surgery time to 3 days a week, giving way to the cosmetic skill of Dr Rezaie.

WHATâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S AGEING YOU? WITH FRANCES FURLONG

T

his month I will focus on specific issues that can make you look older and quick fixes that can improve your Imperfections without breaking the bank.

FROWN AND HORIZONTAL FOREHEAD LINE î &#x201C;ese negative and ageing wrinkles are caused by overuse of the strong muscles in this area, as opposed to the ageing process. When these lines start to appear faintly it is time to try to prevent them getting any worse. a quick, eďŹ&#x20AC;ective and the only proven way to hibernate muscle over activity is by the administration of muscle relaxing injections, lasting around 4-6 months, results can be seen between 4-14 days.

THIN SUNKEN LIPS Loss of volume to the lip border and the vanishing of the strong vermillion border (lip edge) is a clear sign of ageing, add to this lifestyle choices such as smoking, will result in vertical lines on the upper outer lip edge. an eďŹ&#x20AC;ective treatment choice is a dermal filler that derives from a sugar molecule, it subtly restores the lip outline and gently volumises and restores lost moisture. In conjunction a finer dermal filler can be used to address the vertical lip lines to give you the mouth and lips you used to have. Results can be seen instantly and lasts anywhere from 6-12 months.

DOUBLE SAGGING CHIN a lot of my clients assume that this problem is due to excessive fat, but almost 70% can get an improvement by addressing the slack muscle area under the chin and jowl area by considering muscle relaxing Injections. It helps by lifting the appearance of the dreaded turkey neck and can sharpen the jaw line eďŹ&#x20AC;ectively.

HOLLOW TIRED EYES If you are sick of being told you look tired and washed out, then consider a dermal filler placed strategically to help lift the hollow rings under the eye area and see results almost immediately. For those suďŹ&#x20AC;ering with the dreaded blue vessel tinge under the eyes as well as puďŹ&#x192;ness, then perfect Skin's bespoke eye contour meso-derm treatment could be right for you. normally three sessions are advised, but my clients already see results even after a single session.

FATTY LUMPS AND BUMPS ON THE FACE AND BODY as we age we get more prone to fatty lumps and skin tags on the face and body, it's generally associated with older people so I see why so many of my clients want them removed aSap. By using the latest Cryopen technology we can quickly get rid of these unsightly blemishes and give you back the clear complexion you crave. Results can be achieved within a couple of weeks post treatment in most individuals.

DULL LIFELESS COMPLEXION For an instant fix the day before an important event try the stimulator glow peel, does not dry the skin and gives it an illuminating glow to give you the Hollywood a lister glow, requires no skin preparation and is suitable for all skin types and colours. n

“Ash is a man of extreme integrity and is dedicated to excellence…”

WORDS BY DEE BROWN

A

n aesthetically trained eye is one of the most important components to being a cosmetic dentist. is was something that Ash and Annie have in common. Annie is also a dentist and holds a PGDIP in aesthetic medicine.

Annie first came to Smile Design by Ash to improve her smile. “Ash is a man of extreme integrity and is dedicated to excellence - this is why I chose him to complete my treatment.”

After an initial consultation, Ash and Annie decided together to improve her smile using porcelain crowns to replace her existing unsatisfactory crowns. “e end result was excellent and Ash went way and above to achieve my exact cosmetic demands, which as a dental surgeon myself, were quite exacting!”

To maintain Annie’s smile she visits the practice for her yearly examinations and hygiene appointments. “My overall experience was one of complete care, the entire team were gracious, kind and helpful and the practice was super relaxed - every effort being made to put the patient at ease.”

Annie is a woman of many talents and skills. Not only is she a dentist, she is a trained pilates teacher, a model and has a keen interest in facial aesthetics. Annie runs a bespoke clinic in Buckhurst Hill offering a range of treatments from skincare to Silhouette Soft Lining.

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

Lightting g trren rends ffor or Aut utumn u n Wint i er 2016 CUSTOM O CO OLOURS

L

ighting is a key architectural and design element in our home h and as the nights start to draw in it is the perfect time to refresh lighting fixtures and take your interior style to the next leevel.

Lighting is often referreed to as the “jewellery of the home” as stylish lightin ng accessories can often be used to finish off the lo ook of your interior. And although home design tren nds don’t go in and out as quickly as fashion, theree are still some stand-out lighting styles that haave gaained recent popularity in today’s most designer-focused homes.

Here’s our list of the top lighting trends of 2016 to illuminate your new year.

INDUSTRIAL LUXE The industrial interior look is one that has been around for several seasons now, w, but for AW AW 2016 we haave seen a twist on this trend that introduces a little glamour. The industrial interior look is all about exposed raw materials and a pared back style but it is time to start adding shiny decoratiivve elements to help offset the rougher textures seen around the scheme. Lighting is a great place to start when looking to incorporate these touches into your interior with many designers adding a wide range of glossy metal finishes to their collection. A personal faavourite of mine are the hand-spun Stanley pendant lights by British lighting manufacturer Original BTC. Group them together for a dramatic effect or mix metals for a laid-back, eclectic look.

It’s time to get creeatiivve! In 2015 wee saw a steep rise in thee way tecchnology is being used u in the home sector with many retailers offering fering virtual interior deesign serrvices through theeir websites and d apps. Thiis trend looks set to contin nue as lighting brands start staart to introduce customisation ation tools givin v ng the customer the ability to pick finisshes, sizes and d configurations to suit their indiividual viduual space. A good example of this is the Bocci 28 pen ndant, which comes in 68 different colours and be configured in i random vertical compositions or cluster uster shapes

GEOMETRIC LIGHTING

OVERSIZED FIXTURES

One of the hottest lighting trends right now is geometric lighting fixtures. With clean lines and simple yet striking designs, geometric structures should standout on their own and pro ovide a focall point to th he room. Although geometric lighting fixtures in nvoke a minimalist aesthetic, they’re not just for modern m and contemporary interiors. The key to theeir versatility is in the simplicity of the design. Th he geometric trend is a great option if you’re loo oking to giivve your space a modern or midcentury viibe.

Lighting g g fixtures that make a bold statement and serve as the focal point of a room are trendingg.. If you are looking to make an instant impact, why not try a larger-than-life design to add some style and humour to your interior. You You don n’t haavve to haavve a large home to take part in this treend – a statement pendant in a kitchen or huge floor floo or lamp abo above a dining room table can make for a beautiful style accent. Homes with tall ceilings or a larg large hallways and landings can also benefit from m the increased sizes of today’s most popular lights hts.

WARM MET TALS ALS

NATURE ATUR RE INSPIRED INSP One of th he next trends for the home will be lighting inspired from f elements of nature: in organic forms, in the spectrum of natural colours and with particularr reference to the world of leaf and plant silhouettees. Lighting inspired by nature softens the feel off cold, contemporary spaces by adding softer linees and an organic feel to the room. W Wee particularrlyy like the decoratiivve LED chandelier from p Moooi inspired by the Heracleum Plant.

War W ar armer metals are in, in and this trend is expected to continue through to 2017. Right now, w, metals in any form are big – but they appear with more subtlety ety than before. At the moment, there re is a real leaning towards warmer tones. From kitchen appliances to hardware to lighting fixtures – bronze, brass and gold tones are m making their mark. Not only are finishes ““heating up”, but the freedom to mix metals is ggainingg in popularity. p p y https://chaplins.co.uk

URBAN MYTH’S

ESSENTIAL TIPS TO ACHIEVE YOUR DREAM KITCHEN

F

licking through the pages of an interiors magazine you would be forgiven for thinking that having the kitchen you have always dreamed about is way out of the budget. But with so many advances in material design and technology, there are now many more affordable ways to achieve your desired look.

For Urban Myth every customer is unique and therefore every kitchen is different, but there are some key elements to consider no matter what your budget may be.

PLAN YOUR LAYOUT When designing your kitchen it’s a good idea to consider “the work triangle”, the shape created by the 3 essential kitchen workstations; the fridge/freezer, the hob and the sink. You might consider incorporating the hob or sink in a kitchen island to achieve the shortest distance between these areas. Principally you need to ensure the layout works for you and your family.

CHOOSE A LASTING FINISH You probably won’t update your kitchen again for another 15 or 20 years so you need to ensure the design does not date too soon. Bright colours for your cabinets seriously affects its lifespan. By adding colour interest in more subtle ways you can update these features without needing a whole new kitchen. Coloured backsplashes, feature walls or contrasting island units are all excellent examples of a way to achieve this.

6 6 OCTOBER 2016

BRIGHT IDEAS Lighting can totally transform a space and advances in lighting technology allow for some stunning effects.

Incorporating lighting below an island unit will make it appear to float and it’s always a good idea to place lighting over food preparation areas. Separating the lighting circuits in open plan areas can define the dining zone and creates a pleasant ambience.

GET YOUR TIMING RIGHT A new kitchen is a big project, one that you need to get right. Allow time to get the design exactly how you want, and remember your builders will need to know your kitchen plan in good time to provide the services required to make it work.

Our philosophy is that every kitchen we design and install is as good as our last, no matter how much a client spends; they receive the same, high quality, service.

We believe that everyone should have their dream kitchen and we have one of the widest ranges available in the industry, so whatever your budget, design or room layout, get in touch. n
