TAX RULES ON DIVORCE

A

divorce can be difficult enough without paying unnecessary tax because you are unaware of the rules in this area. Graham Doubtfire, Tax Partner at Scrutton Bland, explains some of the financial legislation which may affect your settlement.

Capital gains tax (CGT) When a couple are married and living together, any transfer of assets between them will take place at ‘no gain/no loss’ (NG/NL) meaning that no CGT will be payable. However this marital tax benefit ceases at the end of the tax year following separation and not on the Decree Absolute. Since the tax year runs from 6 April to the following 5 April, the closer a couple separates to 5 April, the less time they will have to transfer any assets if they wish to make use of the NG/NL rule.

Following the tax year of permanent separation, but before the Decree Absolute, spouses and civil partners are still classed as ‘connected persons’ for CGT purposes. is means any transfer of assets will be deemed to have taken place at market value, regardless of whether any actual proceeds were received. erefore CGT will be due on the market value less the cost of the asset. If the asset has appreciated significantly since acquisition, there could be a large amount of CGT due.

Private Residence Relief (PRR) One of the largest assets is often the matrimonial home. is may end up being sold to a third party, or one person in the marriage transferring all or part

8

APRIL 2018

of their share to the other as part of the settlement.

Generally, if a person has lived in the matrimonial home since they bought it, then the whole of their gain on the property will be covered by PRR. However, if there have been periods where the property was not lived in, or another property was elected to be the main residence, the relief could be restricted. CGT charges can also arise where one party moves out of the matrimonial home and the time to agree a settlement and effect transfers exceeds 18 months.

However there are special rules on divorce which allow the relief to be extended if all of these conditions are met: one partner stops living in the family home because they have separated; the partner that moved out hasn’t notified HMRC that another house is to be their main residence; that partner later transfers their interest in the family home to their ex; the ex keeps living in the family home as their main residence; the transfer is made as part of the divorce settlement. is special rule does therefore not apply if the home is sold to a third party. e spouse giving up the ownership of the family home also needs to take care if they have acquired a new residence, because generally only one property can qualify for PRR. A divorce is often complex. It is important to review all matrimonial assets and seek professional advice to ensure settlements are structured efficiently and no one is unintentionally left with an unwelcome tax charge. n

THE DETA I L S Graham Doubtfire has assisted a number of divorcing parties with advice on the tax implications of a divorce.

and ditches throughout the Forest. Wild garlic has a distinctively strong smell and may be found growing en masse in especially damp areas. Finally, the primrose is an unmistakable, low growing flower which can be found across the woodland any time between December to May. e Lower Forest, between Epping and ornwood, is however a stronghold for this sturdy little plant.

To make the most of exploring the Forest and looking out for some of these pretty flowers, why not buy a copy of the new Short walks in Epping Forest book produced by the City of London Corporation. e book is available from e View, Epping Forest’s flagship visitor centre on Rangers Road, Chingford and all local bookshops. e brand new revision of the Epping Forest official map can now also be purchased at just £4.95 from e View, which will assist you in exploring a little further afield.

T

his is the time of year when the ancient woodland of Epping Forest wakes up from the slumber of winter and bursts into colour. e green shades of the new life emerging from the trees are perhaps never quite so vivid as at this time of the year, making a visit to the Forest just now so very worthwhile. However if you look around you, other cheery colours can be found in the form of flora brightening up the landscapes once again.

Following the harsh frosts and snow we’ve experienced this winter, the first spring flowers are boldly popping up ready to put on their fine, long-awaited display.

A classic spring flower is the bluebell and Epping Forest is one of the greatest places to experience the haze of blue on the woodland floor which can be found towards the end of April and beginning of May, depending on the weather.

Chalet Wood in Wanstead Park is a popular spot for such an experience. You can check the Epping Forest website www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/eppingforest to find out when the bluebells are at their best this year, to plan your visit. Please ensure that you keep to the paths and do not pick or trample the bluebells. Please enjoy them but leave them where they belong for all to enjoy and to ensure that the glorious display continues to be an annual feature for generations to come. ere are of course, other ephemeral and cheery spring blooms to look out for. e common dog violet is an exquisite little flower in regal colours which can be found throughout the Forest. e Cowslip, which prefers more grassy areas, can be commonly found on the Forest’s Buffer Land. e Cuckoo flower, with a name that evokes the atmosphere of spring, which can sadly be found with greater ease than its now unfortunately rare name-sake. Lesser celandine can be spotted brightening the banks of streams

HELP SAVE THE WILLINGALE TREASURE EPPING FOREST NEEDS YOUR HELP…

The Willingale Treasure A medieval gold ring has been found in the parish of Willingale and we need you to help us keep it in the district, before the item goes on sale on the open market.

It is the first medieval gem set ring to be found in the district, and the first known finger-ring to be discovered in Willingale. e decoration is of an extremely high standard and, to the best of our knowledge, unique.

Please donate Donate online at www.spacehive.com/willingaletreasure or make a donation at Epping Forest District Museum, 39–41 Sun Street, Waltham Abbey, EN9 1EL In total £11,500 is needed to save the ring ensuring it is on free public display for generations to come. e campaign has already received support from the ACE/V&A Purchase Grant Fund and SHARE Museums East and Epping Forest District Museum has committed funding from

its reserves leaving £3,000 to be raised.

If the target is reached, the ring will go on public display in the museum’s newly renovated core gallery. If the funding is not raised, the ring may be sold and possibly leave the UK permanently.

Other treasures at the museum Currently on display is a selection of items acquired by the museum through the national Portable Antiquities Scheme, which recently celebrated 20 years of recording treasure finds. On display are items found from all across the Epping Forest district. e oldest are a bronze axe and small gold bead, which are some 3,500 years old, also displayed are medieval Noble coins of Edward III found near Abridge and a fine silver gilt medieval crucifix discovered near North Weald.

With such treasures found with our local areas, it would be such a shame if they were to be moved outside. Let’s keep our treasures in Essex…n

ART IS A WINNING COMBINATION WORDS BY CHRISTINE BAKER, CHRISTEN MEDIA

S

easons Art Class is throwing open its doors this month to new students who are interested in teasing out their creative skills. Tutor Adelaine Frank has established a new concept in weekly adult part-time creative art courses for 14 weeks, run throughout the year.

Classes start again on Tuesday 24th April at Chingford’s Arts Commune plus an Evening Class there that also features life drawing and portraiture.

On Wednesday 25th April students are welcome to the morning class at LifeWorks at the back of Loughton Methodist Church.

Designed for absolute beginners or improvers

the courses offer an easy step-by-step guide to draw, paint and create. It’s ‘hands on’ with lots of support and demonstrations while learning new skills. e class has the added benefit of tutor Jim Jack, a sculptor and local artist. Both tutors provide one-to-one advice and all the help needed to develop individual artistic skills.

Joining the team is Kelly Frank, Adelaine’s talented daughter who brings a new edge and challenge to those wanting to take their art to a new level and a change of pace.

Kelly competed in this year’s Sky Arts TV series Portrait Painter of the Year competition with the final last month.

In her heat Kelly’s had to paint actress Michaela Coel. She said “It was an exciting and challenging experience. e competition tests your ability to work under pressure. I had to make decisions quickly and being timed was a first for me. I learnt a lot and it was also great to be surrounded by other budding artists and watch other methods of painting unfold.” n

WHAT TO DO IF YOUR CHILD DOES NOT GET INTO THE SCHOOL THAT YOU WANT?

T

housands of parents have recently found out, or are still anxiously awaiting to hear from the appeals process, whether their child has been given a place at their chosen state school.

Admissions days are anxious times for parents, and often with good reason as local trends for the percentages of families awarded first choices are decreasing. Not every child is successful and to avoid some of the stress, here is a guide of to what to do next and answers to frequently asked questions.

Why hasn't my child got a place? e council's admission authority is in charge of offering school places. If there are more applications than the number of children the school admits, the council will offer places to children according to a list of rules. e rules are known as ‘oversubscription criteria’ and they may include how close you live to the school; if a sibling already attends or compelling medical or social reasons for a child to attend a specific school.

Will my child go on a waiting list?

Any child who is not allocated a place will be added to a waiting list. Sometimes a place will become available in early September, if children move schools.

Try not to panic - Remember that your child is not starting school until September so there is still quite a lot

2 0 APRIL 2018

of time for your situation to change.

Look at your other options - More and more families are choosing private education instead of going with the state.

One of the most important factors that parents consider is the size of the school.

Smaller, nurturing environments can offer a more personalised service. Places for these schools are not allocated in the same way as state and some may still have places available for September.

WRITING FICTION AN INTERVIEW WITH FISH MEDIA COLUMNIST AND LOCAL WRITER –

MICHELLE B. HARRIS

M

ichelle Harris has been writing for the Essex series of Fish Media Group for many years.

As a regular columnist she receives a lot of emails from the readership with requests for her to write and publish fiction.

Michelle: I’ve always written fiction.

Running my business, Star Copywriting, will always be my priority but fiction is another angle to my writing. It’s fantasy and I can unleash my creativity into a literary format.

Is there a clash?

Michelle: Not at all. All forms of writing merit creativity, insight and structure. If anything, writing fiction helps the copywriting because it opens boundaries and helps me to explore new realms. It keeps my work fresh. I suppose you could call it a writing ‘work out’.

What inspires the fiction?

So much.

My travels, people, their comments and lives and then sometimes a

2 2 APRIL 2018

chance remark can inspire an idea, a theme for a short story or book. People are intrinsically complicated, understanding the decisions they make and based upon their own life’s experiences is endlessly fascinating.

Always at the back of my mind is - what if?

And then I turn into a story.

Psychology is also very important with copywriting, I always need to consider why people (target audience) would make the decision to buy my clients’ products and services and how they would benefit as a result. e next step is the emotive and strategic language in simplified format to support the analysis.

When do you have time to write fiction?

I know you’re busy with other work.

I always keep notebooks in my bags and on my desk. I jot down a thought, an idea, a comment. Or if I’m on a train, plane or even sitting in a park in London, I relax and just let the ideas flow. I will then allocate the necessary time to develop a theme or character. Explore it, get to know the characters, walk around with them in my head and try to see the world from their eyes. ere are months of contemplation before a single word is written.

So when you’re not writing - you’re writing.

Absolutely. I can’t help myself. Writing defines me – I suppose you could call it an addiction. But a good one… n

hese were the words on everyone’s lips last year at Henley Regatta 2018 as they stumbled across the exclusive Waterfront Enclosure.

Located by the iconic start line opposite beautiful Temple Island, The Waterfront Enclosure run by stylish event and catering company The Wild Fork is emerging as the place to be at the world famous sporting event.

The eye-catching stretch tent and idyllic English country garden add style and atmosphere to a perfect summer’s day out, either for entertaining corporate guests and colleagues or for gathering friends and family for a real treat.

Arrive mid-morning in time for champagne and a classic Pimms with delicious pastries, fresh juices, miniature English breakfasts and healthy granola, yoghurt and fruit compote pots on offer too.

Friendly, attentive staff are on hand to ensure guests quickly unwind with soft, live music playing in the background.

A 4 course lunch is served from 12.30pm onwards, shared across banqueting tables with views of the river and the team of chefs impressively working the wood-fired ovens. Expect overflowing platters of gin and elder cured salmon as well as rabbit rillette, duck liver parfait, smoked pigeon and celeriac remoulade to start. To follow, mouthwatering lamb with orzo, spring greens, tzatziki and flat breads and deliciously tender chicken accompanied by Israeli couscous, heritage tomatoes and tabbouleh. A selection of miniature English classic desserts and a fine cheese board complete the feast.

The inspired bar stocked with thoughtfully selected wines, spirits, summer cocktails and craft ales remains at guests’ disposal for the rest of the day before afternoon tea is served - a temptation too irresistible to miss.

Tickets are selling fast so see below for booking information plus don’t miss out on a 10% discount for all early bird bookings made before the end of April. Quote TWFHENMAGOFFER

HENLEY FESTIVAL MUSIC | COMEDY | ART | FOOD | 11 - 15 JULY 2018

THE FLOATING STAGE

H

enley Festival, the UKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most glamorous boutique festival, and winner of Headline Performance of the Year in 2016 returns to its spectacular setting on the riverbank in Henley-onThames from 11th-15th July 2018.

As the UKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only black-tie boutique festival, Henley Festival is glamour personified, offering Michelin starred food, award winning comedians, Turner Prize nominated artists and the biggest names in popular, world, jazz and classical music.

Many festival goers arrive by boat, and the green lawns of the festival are transformed into a Great Gatsby vision, as black tie clad revellers spill across the festival site, champagne in hand, while fireworks explode overhead.

Following the release of her long awaited album in Spring 2018, Rita Ora will open Henley Festival 2018 on the Wednesday night. The global pop star, with four No.1 hit songs to her name, including Radioactive and I Will Never Let You Down, will get the UKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most glamourous festival off to an explosive start with her 2017 hit singles Kiss Me, Your Song and Anywhere.

A lifelong provocateur Grace Jones will light up Henley Festival with her energetic headline set that is guaranteed to include a string of costume changes and dance-club hits including her acclaimed reinvention of Piaf â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classic â&#x20AC;&#x153;La Vie En Roseâ&#x20AC;?.

One of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most iconic women, singers, songwriters, supermodels, actresses and infamous Bond Girl, Grace Jonesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; daring and original headline set will be one of the highlights of the festival.

Among music legends, Nile Rodgers is truly exceptional. He amplifies his legacy as a multiGrammy-winning composer, producer, arranger and guitarist by constantly traversing new musical terrain and successfully expanding the boundaries of popular music. As the co-founder of CHIC, Rodgers pioneered a musical language that generated chart-topping pop hits like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Le Freak,â&#x20AC;? sparked the advent of hip-hop with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good Times,â&#x20AC;? and won CHIC eleven Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominations. More recently he has worked with Daft Punk, Avicii, Disclosure, and Sam Smith.

Saturday night at Henley Festival will see Curtis Stigers and The Ronnie Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Big Band present

Henley Festival is glamour personified, offering Michelin starred food, award winning comedians, Turner Prize nominated artists and the biggest names in popular, world, jazz and classical music.

Established 36 years ago as a classical music charity event, Henley Festival continues to be run on a not for profit basis supporting charitable projects at both a national and local level. This year proceeds from the festival will go to two charities. Dedicated to supporting young people with depression, and encouraging discussions around mental health, the Charlie Waller Memorial Trust was set up in memory of a young man who took his own life whilst suffering from depression. The Teenage Wilderness Trust supports students who find it difficult to engage with mainstream education by offering reengagement courses using bush craft, wilderness learning techniques and practical life skills to encourage students to get back into learning.

Henley Festival will close in true style on the Sunday night with one of the UKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foremost opera companies the English National Opera performing with soloists, full orchestra and chorus and under the baton of ENO Music Director Martyn Brabbins. Their repertoire is taken from many of the greatest operas including Carmen, The Marriage of Figaro, Madam Butterfly, Turandot and La Traviata as well as a little Gilbert & Sullivan to top the night off.

TRAVEL

JAPAN IS NOT AS FAR EAST AS YOU THINK

WORDS CHRISTINE BAKER, CHRISTEN MEDIA

H

oliday Designers is aptly named because they love designing bespoke holidays for their clients, which quickly get turned into dream holidays, whatever the budget.

A recent challenge was to put together a multi-centre tour of Japan over three weeks for two people. Phil called on his considerable expertise and looked at several round-trip tours taking in highlights like Tokyo, Hakone & Mount Fuji, Kyoto and Hiroshima. However, as with most land-based tours the cost was in excess of £4,000 per person, way over budget.

Although hotels and transportation in Japan can be incredibly expensive, cruising can get you where you need to be while providing luxury accommodation; incredible culinary experiences, all at the fraction of the price.

As luck would have it Princess Cruises offered two back to back cruises, one of seven nights followed by another of nine nights, on board their Diamond Princess. is would give just over two weeks visiting not only Japan as the itinerary also included South Korea and Taiwan.

Adding a few nights in Tokyo pre-cruise plus another three nights in Kyoto at the end made this the trip of a lifetime. It was much more than the clients had dreamed of and inside their budget. e cruise on Diamond Princess in Japan is

3 6 APRIL 2018

just as much about the on-board experience as it is the destination itself, with the sights, sounds and flavours of Japan throughout the voyage. ere is no shortage of things to see, do, eat or experience. is Far East adventure started in Japans vibrant capital, Tokyo with its 50 contrasting neighbourhoods where it’s easy to fill days with shopping, eating and sightseeing. As well as a full day tour of Tokyo the itinerary included a visit to Hakone National Park and on to explore Mount Fuji, returning to Tokyo on the bullet train. e itinerary for both cruises took in highlights of this vibrant and diverse area offering the perfect blend of intoxicating culture and world-class cuisine.

Mr & Mrs Levine said “is trip more than fitted the bill and we were delighted with all that we saw and did. We don’t believe we would have been able to put this trip together ourselves. Phil, at Holiday Designers, did a fab job and we are so grateful. Now, where shall we set our sights next?”

NO MORE IMPRESSIONS & GAGGING!

S

mile Design By Ash is pleased to announce our latest acquisition called a Digital Scanner, making this one of the most technologically advanced dental practices in the UK. After a lot of research, we purchased the most renowned digital scanner in the world called Trios (3 Shape). is equipment can help the dentist and patient in many ways…

NO MORE IMPRESSIONS! Dental impressions (especially upper ones) are well known to make people gag and feel uncomfortable during treatment. In some patients, it becomes practically impossible to do certain procedures like crown and bridge work, or dentures due to the intolerance of impression paste in the roof of the mouth (and keeping still) for up to 5 minutes! Not anymore. Our digital scanner can take a scan or an image of certain teeth or the entire dental arch, allowing an immediate 3D image or replica to be computer generated within seconds. e accuracy level of the scan is far superior to the traditional impression technique. “Digital dentistry” is the dentistry of tomorrow, available today!

SEEING YOUR TEETH IN A NEW WAY e information you can get by seeing a 3D model of your teeth on the computer screen is unparalleled. We can review with you the level of crookedness of teeth, and quickly plan braces treatment with Invisalign showing you “before and after” results of your case before you commit to any treatment. We can also measure how fast your teeth are wearing away (or make other precise measurements) by taking repeat annual scans.

ACCURATE FITTING AND LONG-LASTING TREATMENT Because digital impressions are so accurate, you are assured of superior work from the dental laboratory in terms of accurate fit and comfort. e best dental laboratories in the country are now using digital techniques to make crowns and tooth inlays made of porcelain, as well as full mouth bridges supported on implants.

BEGIN YOUR DENTAL JOURNEY CONFIDENTLY So, if you are thinking of improving your smile by straightening your teeth or having porcelain veneers, or wanting to replace missing teeth with implants to improve your chewing and ability to enjoy food, digital impressions will make your treatment much more comfortable. Visit 6 Chigwell Rise and have a FREE DIGITAL SCAN to discover more…n

KIDSW WEEARR FINDS FFI S FI FIT FOR A LLITTLE

Ahead of the arrival of the new royal y baby,y, KATIE KA TI WRIGHT selects the cutest kids’’ fashion on the high street.

T

he Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are due to welcome their third child next month, and speculation is rife over when exactly the baby will arriivve (could it be St George’s day?) and whether it will be a boy or girl (or even twins, as some overzealous bump-watchers haavve been theorising lately).

While we won’tt kno know for definite until itt happe happens, chances are, the new bundle of joy will be following in big brother Prince George and big sister Princess Charlotte’s footsteps in terms of whatt they t yw wear.

Whenever we see them at public appearances or in official portraits, the littlest royals are always beautifully turned out; 4-year-old George in shorts, buttoned shirts and sensible shoes, while Charlotte, who turns 3 in May, y, has an ar array of pretty floral frocks, knitted cardigans and Mary Janes.

With arguably the best-dressed mum in the UK, itt’’s no wonder the adorable siblings are alreadyy inspiring babyw ywear designers with their prim and proper outfits.

Want to dress up your little prince of princess in a similar ffashi ashion? Here’s how to get the royal bab aby look on the high street...

E

ar problems can be very distressing.

Sound entering the ear canal moves ear drum. is vibrates the small bones of hearing called ossicles and this, in turn, moves fluid in the inner ear to convert sound signal to electrical signal. is is interpreted by the brain. Ear problems like wax in the ear canal, ear infections, otosclerosis and ear drum perforation can affect your hearing.

To make the diagnosis, good detailed history, examination and special hearing tests are required. As ear is one of the special senses, you should always trust ear specialist with extensive experience.

Conditions in which ear surgeon can help 1 Cholesteatoma – it is the collection of epidermal tissue in the middle ear which is locally invasive and destructive.

2. Glue ear – it is a condition in which middle ear which is usually filled with air gets replaced by fluid. In most cases, it clears without treatment. In some cases, ventilation tube called

grommets may be required.

3. Otosclerosis – is a condition in which one small bone of hearing gets fixed. It can be treated with hearing aid or surgically.

4. Perforated ear drum – is the condition which can be due to chronic ear infection, trauma due to sudden loud noise or change in pressure while flying.

5. Sudden sensorineural hearing loss – is the unexplained rapid hearing loss which may require emergency medical treatment. e main treatment is early intervention with oral steroids with or without steroid injection in the ear. n

ROYAL FAMILY SKI SUITS.qxp__ 04/04/2018 16:57 Page 1

FASHION, HEALTH & BEAUTY YUMMY MUMMY

THE ROYAL FAMILY’S SKI FASHION T

From Eighties-tastic onesies to uber-cool kidswear, LAUREN TAYLOR delves into the archives to check out their slope-style highlights.

T

he ability to ski is pretty much a rite of passage for members of the royal family, who are famously fond of their annual trips to some of the world’s most exclusive resorts.

Favourites through the years have been Lech in Austria, and Klosters in Switzerland, both traditional and very upmarket, with some of the most expensive chalets going.

Princes William and Harry have been hitting the slopes since they were nippers - and a browse back through the royals’ winter holiday snaps shows just how much ski fashion has changed over the years!

Here’s a look at how the royal family absolutely owned Eighties and Nineties skiwear...

Late-Eighties The world will never be able to top Eighties ski fashion, when those dazzling all-in-one suits were introduced. Of course, Diana sported the most chic outfit of this royal party - a black onesie with a florescent green and pink pattern.

Two years after William was born, Charles and Diana had a skiing break on the slopes of Liechtenstein. Helmets were never the norm in ski resorts at this time - but bulky mittens certainly were. The royals would have had to wear quite a few layers under their all-in-ones to keep warm, because clothing technology wasn’t as advanced as it is today.

Early-Nineties As the Nineties came around, everyone wanted to sport an ultra bright colour against the white snow.

Diana’s strange woolly hat/neck-warmer get-up doesn’t look like it did either job particularly well...

Kids’ skiwear became very cool in the Nineties - featuring a lot of clashing colourful panels and 2 46 6 AAPPRRI ILL/ M2 A 0 1Y8 2 0 1 8

geometric patterns. And of course, young Harry and William were ahead of the game.

Puffer jackets took off in the Nineties too. Many featured a belted waist, but Princess Diana made sure she stayed warm in this bright red oversized puffer. It’s worth noting that goggles weren’t seen as necessary ski attire at this time, and many people, like the royals, only wore sunglasses on the slopes.

In 1994, William and Harry reached peak Nineties ski fashion - complete with patterned bandanas and reflective shades. Dad Charles even sported a neckerchief, but appears to have a favourite sturdy grey all-in-one which he’s worn on many, many ski trips.

ROYAL FAMILY SKI SUITS.qxp__ 04/04/2018 16:57 Page 2

THROUGH THE YEARS

Mid to Late-Nineties The Duchess of York and her daughters Beatrice and Eugenie (now newly engaged, of course) have spent many winters skiing. We particularly love Fergie’s loud, patterned onesie with clashing green necktie. On the other hand, Eugenie made a very stylish four-year-old on the slopes, with coordinating belt, helmet and boots. And is that a bum-bag we can see?

Snowboarding became fashionable in the Nineties and Harry, being the trendier Prince, tried it out. Both brothers upgraded from onesies to twopieces in much more subdued colours by the time they were in their teens, when salopettes became the go-to style. Although Charles still wouldn’t let that grey all-in-one go.

The Noughties The early-Noughties saw many skiers mixing and matching different coloured ski jackets with trousers, but generally styles were more subdued than in the Eighties and Nineties. Although William did make a bold choice with his purple Patagonia

jacket...

Prince Charles and William took a father-and-son trip to Klosters in 2004, and although Charles mixed it up this time with a navy all-in-one, he made a questionable fashion choice with this night cap.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have continued the tradition of royal skiing holidays, but instead they take their family to France. In 2016, they dressed George and Charlotte in very cute onesies (and much more modern than any of the outfits William sported as a child!) for their trip to Courchevel.

Kate is wearing the practical-yet-fashionable Sorel snow boots and a stylish fitted jacket with a faux fur trim. And let’s take a moment to appreciate the father-son and mother-daughter colour coordination here...

SAY GOODBYE TO GAGGING

& HELLO TO 3D SCAN WORDS CHRISTINE BAKER – CHRISTEN MEDIA

To find out more about the 3Shape scanner, visit smiledesignby ash.co.uk

H

ands up if you remember that dreaded time at the dentist and those feared words, “we need to take an impression and an X-ray”?

Next thing you have a device thrust in your mouth and then you start to gag. It’s all encompassing and overwhelming and in the meantime, you are still gaging, can’t swallow and losing control. ank goodness that’s now a thing of the past – well it is at Smile Design by Ash thanks to a new piece of kit. is one gives far more information than just X-ray results because this it is a 3D scan.

I was the recipient of this new treatment at Smile Design By Ash, the state-of-the-art dental practice in Chigwell. is is one of the few dental practices in the UK to have the 3Shape Trios digital scanner. is scanner has a camera that takes 3000 images per second. It’s the latest technology to take a 3D Scan of your teeth, so that you do not have to keep still with impression paste, or

anything else, in your mouth for several minutes, which makes many people gag.

I have been a patient of Ash for many years and had various treatments including bone grafting, implants, and porcelain veneers. I used to hate having the impression done when Ash did the work. e 3D scan seems a much better way of doing treatment. I found the treatment easier, quicker and certainly more comfortable.

Ash is an amazing dentist, and now he has a 3D scanner, I would not dream of going anywhere else.

Ash says “We use the scanner as a baseline record to study your teeth, bite and smile as well as plan any cosmetic or implants related treatment. It also records accurate impressions of teeth that need a crown or a bridge to replace missing teeth. If someone has crooked teeth, we can take a scan and create a computer-generated image or scan of how your teeth will look when straightened, even before you have any treatment.”n

N

o matter which room you may be thinking about redecorating, flooring is a vital element. From muddy footprints to general wear and tear, there comes a point when it’s time to update your flooring and give your home a refresh. If you’re looking for something different from the usual wall to wall beige carpet, Fishpools may be the solution you’ve been looking for.

Their Waltham Cross showroom is home to 100s of different rugs, plain, striped and patterned carpets, plus wood, vinyl and laminate flooring, which means there’s plenty of choice all in one place. Fishpools offer big brands such as Westex, Amtico and Karndean, so quality is assured. If you’re looking for some guidance on making the right choice for you, their friendly flooring experts are on hand to walk you through your options.

For a truly luxurious feel underfoot, velour pile is a great carpet choice. If you need something a little more hardwearing, why not consider loop pile carpet? If hard flooring is more your thing, luxury laminates are a tough, realistic-looking alternative to the real thing, and much easier to maintain.

Whatever you’re looking for, you can find it with the over 3000 colour and design options available.

If this sounds like too many options for you, Fishpools also offer a free sample service. Simply choose up to 5 free samples to see how they work with the light and other colours in your room. This way you can be safe in the knowledge your flooring will look fabulous once fitted.

Once you’ve made your decision, whether that be luxury laminate or a deep pile carpet, Fishpools are on hand to help provide measurements. For many of us, taking into account fireplaces, doorways and a myriad of other fixtures can make taking accurate measurements difficult, especially where stairs are involved. To save on stress, be sure to take advantage of Fishpools’ free Home Estimating &

Planning service instead.

When it comes to installing your new flooring, their team of experienced fitters are on hand to provide a fully guaranteed fitting service. Once your new flooring is ready to be delivered, one of Fishpools’ friendly team members will call you to arrange an appointment for a fitter at a time that suits you. It’s a straightforward process, with the fitter preparing the area before laying your new floor.

For anyone looking for that little something extra for their new flooring, or perhaps just want to spruce up an old floor, a new rug may be just what you’re after. Fishpools’ Rug Room has everything on display from modern designs to classic prints in a variety of materials. Browse rugs from Calvin Klein plus many others.

If you have something particular in mind, don’t be afraid to ask! With many of their rugs available in different colour and size options, you’re sure to find just what you’re looking for. Whatever your requirements, the Flooring Department is open 7 days a week to help you indulge in luxury flooring. www.fishpools.co.uk

P52 EXTENDING YOUR HOME.qxp__ 04/04/2018 16:05 Page 1

HOUSE & GARDEN

Extending your home…

F

or a lot of households, there comes a time when your home becomes a bit of a squeeze. Maybe you have had more children, or have embarked on working from home. So should you move somewhere bigger, or extend your house to make it large enough for you and your family’s needs?

An extension can radically improve a property.

Bigger, better space and extra rooms can add value, and make a house more attractive to buyers.

Your location, and the level of demand for your type of home, could make a big difference to the financial implications of extending versus moving. In highvalue areas in London it can be more worthwhile digging under the house to add a basement conversion. The reality is that if you are able to extend, it is often sensible to do so from a financial point of view. The cost of buying a new house would far outweigh the cost of building.

If you want to make structural changes with the purpose of adding value, you should first find out the current market price of your property, as well as its potential value once the changes have been made.

Otherwise, your hard work and cash may not reap rewards. Also be area aware - before you plan that extravagant extension or costly conversion, it’s crucial to talk to a local estate agent to find out what renovations are popular in your area. Every street has a ceiling value so don’t over develop if you want to see a good return on your investment.

Rising property prices with a premium being put on space can make extensions a wise investment.

However, this is a major project and shouldn’t be undertaken lightly: Call in professionals to get the job done properly, as there are important planning restrictions and regulations which need to be followed.

Ask friends if they can recommend an architect

“Your location, and the level of demand for your type of home, could make a big difference to the financial implications of extending versus moving”

and builders. It is really important that you locate the best people, as a botched extension can devalue a property.

The National Federation of Builders (NFB) can provide you with a list of registered builders in your area. A builder that belongs to a respected trade organisation will have to comply with membership standards.

The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) provides a list of registered architects.

Although a modern extension can look good on an old house, when it comes to selling on it is important to appeal to the average buyer’s taste.

Therefore it is more advisable for an extension to match the architectural style of the existing house.

Be strategic: Extra bathrooms and large kitchens are usually good investments in family-sized homes, and a garage in a busy, urban area will also add value. The room that usually benefits the most from enlarging is the kitchen. Adding a kitchen/ diner creates the farmhouse kitchen most people want and provides extra space. The old dining room can become an office, playroom, or an extra sitting room. Kitchen extensions also provide the opportunity to extend upwards - an additional bedroom can be built on top at the same time.

CASE STUDY:

CEDARWOOD S et within a generous mature landscaped plot with views across the open Cheshire countryside Cedarwood offers a contemporary rural residence completed to the highest possible specification. The brief was to create a timeless yet elegant design, which connected with the surrounding landscape. Nestled deep within the established plot the simple series of refined linear buildings blend seamlessly and capture the innate natural beauty of their setting.

Strategically positioned the buildings provide an array of landscaped courtyards each with its own distinct character.

Constructed from the highest quality natural materials the buildings are designed to provide a healthy and sustainable living environment, highly insulated and filled with light. The large panels of recessed glazing which adorn the elevations provide panoramic views across the site whilst creating a series of bright internal living spaces. The glazing itself is highly thermally efficient allowing energy from the sun to enter the building whilst limiting

heat loss during winter.

The natural slate roof lines, which float effortlessly over the buildings, provide shelter and protection from the elements. The purity of the roof forms are further enhanced by the use of recessed guttering and concealed down-pipes.

Constructed from a rigid steel frame the buildings are clad externally in western red cedar, which has a superior natural durability and resistance to moisture, decay and insect damage. Selected for its warm textured grain and rich colour cedar has an inherent quality that has been proven to retain its appearance for several decades. The use of cedar provides a strong visual connection and roots the buildings within its landscape.

The buildings themselves are highly thermally insulated using sustainable wood-fibre board that not only reduces heat loss but also gives protection from overheating in the summer months. the building construction is highly breathable and vapour permeable protecting the building fabric and providing a naturally healthy living environment.

Heating is provided via underfloor heating linked to a highly efficient gas-condensing boiler.

WORDS: HANNAH STEPHENSON, PRESS ASSOCIATION

That largely depends on the weather. Vast bowls of petals emerge from thick stalks above the pretty foliage in late spring and early summer, which will need supporting with a stake or frame to stop them falling over in the wind. The flowers of herbaceous peonies are shortlived, lasting little more than a week or two, and if it rains they won’t last that long, as wet weather tends to make them flop, particularly the heavy, double flowered forms.

undits have been predicting that peonies may feature in Meghan Markle’s wedding bouquet, so enamoured is she with these saucer-sized romantic blooms. In the early days of dating Prince Harry, she posted a picture of a beautiful pink and white spray of peonies on Instagram, with the caption: ‘Swooning Over These. #London #peonies #spoiledrotten. You too could have peonies flowering in your garden come early summer, and some will be at their best around the time of the royal wedding in May. Their blousy blooms, in shades from deep red to white and everything in-between, add a touch of glamour to borders and, if you can bear it, you can cut them and bring them indoors.

How easy are they to grow?

Pretty easy, in the right conditions. The pot-grown peonies you find in garden centres can be planted at any time of year, while bare-rooted types are ideally planted in October. They prefer heavier soil in a sunny or slightly shaded spot, and add plenty of organic matter to the planting hole before you start. Don’t let them get waterlogged, though. Add horticultural grit if the soil is extremely heavy. Don’t plant them too deeply - the soil should just cover the topmost tuberous roots. Mulch them lightly in February or March with potash-rich wood ash to increase flower production. If you want huge flowers (but less of them), debud the sideshoots in April or May with a sharp knife.

How long will the flowers last?

Any recommended varieties?

If you want huge pink fragrant double flowers, try Paeonia lactiflora ‘Sarah Bernhardt’, which is favoured by commercial cut flower producers.

Familiar favourites include P. officinalis ‘Rubra Plena’, a deep red, frilly double cottage variety, or if you want a larger tree peony, growing up to 2.5m, consider P. ludlowii, which bears zingy yellow saucer-shaped flowers. For a longer flowering period go for ‘Bowl Of Beauty’, a Japanese type which flowers for almost twice as long as the others and has a fantastic fragrance, growing to around 90cm, so it will need staking.

Any rules for cutting?

Don’t cut stems in their first year of planting. Leave the plant to strengthen a bit and you’ll have more blooms to cut the following year. Always leave at least a third of the stems on each plant, which will help it gather strength and feed the root through summer and early autumn.

Indoor tips Acclaimed floral designer Judith Blacklock, founder of The Judith Blacklock Flower School (judithblacklock.com) in London, explains: “You must cut peonies in bud but there must be some colour showing in the bud or it won’t open.” She recommends pairing peonies in arrangements with astrantia and Alchemilla mollis. Peonies are thirsty cut flowers, so fill up your vase every day with fresh water and they should last about a week. Snip off the base of the stems every couple of days to help them last a little longer. “Remove the lower foliage but don’t discard it as you can mass the leaves together and they will look gorgeous,” Blacklock adds. “The cooler the atmosphere inside, the longer the flowers will last.”

Will they flower the first year?

You might be lucky, but peonies don’t like being 85 06 AAPPRR I LI L2 021081 8

We are proud to sponsor The Ongar Town Festival 2018

MONTAGUES DPS.qxp__ 03/04/2018 12:40 Page 2

The Ongar Town Festival 2018 Sunday 6th May 9.30am-5pm Montagues has been an integral part of the surrounding local community since 1995. We think we’re very lucky to live and work in such a special place – a wonderful region that still enjoys a strong sense of community.

The Montagues team already supports a variety of local projects. We work with Ivy Chimneys Primary School in Epping – lending a hand at Christmas and summer fairs and we’ve funded promotional materials to help Ongar United Reformed Church advertise daily events and activities.

We were therefore thrilled to be given the opportunity to support such an amazing event here in Ongar which will bring local residents together to celebrate the town’s unique history and culture.

The Ongar & district twinning association have been working tirelessly to make this an occasion to remember, and we certainly hope the community shows the support that this hard work deserves. From my experience of working and meeting many of the local residents at our new high street premises, I have no doubt they will.

Enjoy the event.
