THE HYPE REVIEW

g{x bÄ|äx gÜxx the OLIVE TREE | The Holiday Inn Telford – Ironbridge The International Centre St. Quentin Gate Telford, TF3 4EH 01952 527319 Situated within The Holiday Inn Telford - Ironbridge, you will find possibly one of the best kept secrets in town, The Olive Tree Restaurant.

When deciding on where to go out for dinner, I have to admit, The Olive Tree doesn’t automatically spring to mind and I have assumed in the past that the restaurant is for hotel guests, weddings & parties. I wish I had realised this wasn’t the case sooner. Head chef, Nigel Davis uses local meat and seasonal produce, wherever possible, which includes Cherrington Farm steaks, and food is always cooked fresh to order.

The Olive Tree is a stylish restaurant with conservatory, perfect for business lunches, family occasions or romantic dinners. Serving modern dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The setting is relaxing, and very pleasantly set, with an extensive seating area, contemporary décor and a modern fire pit blazing at the very heart of it.

The welcoming staff seated us and brought us some menus, as well as taking our drinks order, white wine for my friend, Surjit and a diet coke for me.

On offer is an exciting, frequently changing menu with individually priced dishes, as well as a carvery

menu at the weekend. There was an impressive range of dishes available and after struggling to choose, sweet chilli and honey flavoured salmon kebab was surj’s choice of starter and for me it had to be the flat mushrooms. For our main courses we chose curried slow braised lamb shank and pan fried fillet of sea bass.

The Olive Tree_Double Page Editorial 12/02/2016 11:06 Page 2

When the first course arrived, it was presented impeccably, the salmon kebab was accompanied by pak choi, beansprouts and noodle salad whilst the sweet chilli and honey melted with the juicy flesh of the salmon bringing just a touch of perfection to an imperfect world. My flat mushrooms came with pancetta, sun blushed tomato and dolcelatte, all drizzled with pesto dressing, the meaty mushrooms were cooked beautifully and the dolcelatte gave it an added layer of flavour, which worked brilliantly.

The main course arrived quickly; the curried lamb shank looked stunning and was composed with biryani rice and choto naan, a symphony for the taste buds. The lamb fell from the bone as soon as your fork touched it and melted on your tongue and my sea bass came with roasted fennel, curly kale, new potatoes, a selection of crunchy vegetables and a sublime sambuca dill cream sauce. This sophisticated dish had multiple layers of flavour.

Dessert was a must as I had spotted one of my favourites, blackcurrant panna cotta with a blackcurrant and cassis compote, with homemade doughnut crowning it gloriously, which was magnificent whilst Surj, decided to opt for a selection of sorbets served in a wafer basket to round off the whole meal perfectly.

The Olive Tree at The Holiday Inn Telford - Ironbridge is a delightful restaurant, offering excellent cuisine at very reasonable prices. It will definitely be a top contender for dining out in the future and with the quality of service is a must for dining out in Telford.

It is advisable to reserve a table in advance, call 01952 527319.

THE HYPE REVIEW

A cold winter’s evening was about to get warmed up nicely, as the ideal opportunity to spice things up had arisen, at the award winning Spiceland restaurant at the heart of Wellington.

We were greeted by Sag Khan the owner, who took us to our table in the extensive seating area, which boasts an array of seating options, pleasant décor, soft lighting and a very comfortable atmosphere.

With menus and poppadum’s in hand, we surveyed the menu, which has a comprehensive range of dishes available to choose from traditional Indian cuisine with a touch of contemporary gastronomy to English dishes. Spiceland has won numerous awards over the years such as ‘Gold Awards’ for food standards, ‘Five Star Awards’ for hygiene plus a ‘Platinum Award’ for their Healthy Eating Menu, which is connected to Jamie Oliver himself!

Wellington

We studied the options and made our choices, eventually opting for Lamb Chops and Mixed Platter starters and Monkfish Roshon and Murgee Mirchi for the main course, accompanied by a generous portion of rice and Garlic and Coriander Naan to share.I was driving so had a soft drink, complete with tiny

umbrella and Stephan, my husband, had to have a Cobra beer, as has been his tradition for many years whenever he enjoys a curry.

There is a wide range of drinks available with wines, spritzers, draught & bottled beers and spirits to choose from, as well as a good variety of soft drinks.

Spiceland_Double Page Editorial 27/01/2016 12:24 Page 2

The starter arrived in no time, the presentation of the dishes is superb and they taste as good as they look.

My Lamb Chops were juicy and tender, marinated in mild spices, skewered and grilled in an open flame, charcoal oven and served with a fresh, crisp salad and mint sauce. The Mixed Platter with Chicken Tikka, Lamb Tikka and Sheek Kebab was right up Stephan’s street, beautifully aromatic and cooked to absolute perfection.

I was excited to try the main course, this being the first time I had tried fish in a curry and I was certainly not disappointed, the fish was spiced elegantly, with chunky white flesh and the mixture of flavours was warming, definitely a new favourite of mine. Stephan’s Murgee Mirchi had tender pieces of chicken cooked with spring onions, fresh coriander, finely chopped tomatoes, green chillies and mushrooms – a winning combination. The fresh flavours shone through with just enough

spice to ensure a second Cobra was needed, without being overbearing.

We even managed to share a dessert, which finished the evening off beautifully.

In all, we thoroughly enjoyed the experience and it was easy to see why Spiceland is rated number 1 on Tripadvisor, the service received is second to none, attentive yet still relaxed and the food is delightful.

Spiceland caters for all, with couples, families and larger groups all accommodated excellently.

Sag, Chef Sengee Khan and the team work tirelessly to ensure first class service and menus, ensuring they are continuously considered the ultimate dining experience in Shropshire.

E-CIGARETTES FROM GET IT COVERED

We are always looking to better our quality of life and Save Money - many choose to give up tobacco, and E-Cigarettes are a proven way of doing this. Have you tried them? Did they work for you?

Over the five years we have been able to help people make the switch from tobacco to a cheaper alternative with no tobacco, we have found a few mistakes that people make when trying E-Cigarettes.

When a customer comes into the shop at Get It Covered (15 Market Street, Wellington, just up from Wilko), I often ask what strength liquid they would like. 24mg is like a standard cigarette, 16mg is like a Marlborough light and 11mg is like a silk cut. Time and time again people will say they want to just try a medium. If you want an electronic cigarette to deal with your nicotine craving, then it is best to have the closest strength to what you smoke now. For instance, if you would not dream of

smoking a silk cut tomorrow, as it isn't strong enough, then don't try a low strength oil and then think the elctonic cigrette is no good. Once you have got off tobacco and are only using E-cigs then you can work your way down the strengths to zero nicotine, if you want to.

We offer help and advice if you are just starting out or if it isn't working for you. We are open 9am - 6pm Monday - Saturday.

You can also get access to the shop from the market on market days. Starter packs start from £19.99, our oils are £3.99 each (or 3 bottles for £9.95 or 5 for £15.95). We have around 70 flavours, from 5 types of tobacco flavour to fruit, mint and aniseed in 5 different strengths going right down to zero.

Our starter kit batteries and chargers also have warrantees. We often hear from people who buy cheap units with no warrantee - if it fails you are left high and dry, whereas we will replace the faulty bits with your receipt during the warrantee period.

We now stock more powerful batteries that will last longer between charges and provide a better hit.

We also offer a mail-out service, and if you need advice you can call at any time 07774 747303.

E-Lites and Electronic Cigarettes are an alternative product to smoking. They give you a hit of nicotine and a water vapor that you breathe out. This is to help it to be more like actual smoking, so you can cycle the air around your nose and throat as you do with a cigarette, something you cannot do with an inhaler, chewing gum, pills or patches. Do come and see us if you need help and advice or have any question about the set up you are currently using.

Vanity Fur Dog Grooming About Mike:

As a born dog lover (with 3 of his own), Mike decided that the time was right to follow his dream. He put behind him the last 10 years of working as an Estate Agent and booked his professional training programme in Wrexham.

\ gs Bookin le Availab Now!

The course was enlightening and quickly realised his passion to open his own salon, successfully completing the training programme and qualifying in January. Spurred on by the loss of his beloved Aunt Gill very suddenly and unexpectedly just as she retired early at the age of only 60, Mike realised that you have to get on with making your dreams become a reality.

“I want to make Gill proud and I am looking forward to the rewards that pampering pets brings to dogs and their owners” said Mike.

The salon has been designed specifically to ensure a safe and secure environment where pet owners can leave their pets reassured in the knowledge that they will enjoy their pampering experience.

The first steps to finding your new best friend!

By Amy Watkins BSc BVetMed MRCVS from Severn Edge Vets Even before you go to visit your new companion your investigation work begins, you need to ensure the puppy or kitten you’re about to buy is happy and healthy! You can’t be too nosey, ring and ask questions! Did the breeder breed the puppies or kittens - it isn’t a good idea to buy from anyone other than the breeder. Who was the father (sire) and would he be present to visit? If not, find out if you can contact his owner; ask plenty of questions about his temperament, health and other litters.

If you’re happy with the breeders and their answers, you need to visit. Always make sure you see mum with her offspring together, it’s often best to arrange a viewing when there’s more than one puppy / kitten to see. Do the puppies or kittens interact well together? Look for signs of illness such as runny eyes, sneezes or diarrhoea on their tails, also make sure mum is healthy and watch them all in their environment before making your choice.

There are lots of important pieces of information to find out about you new little one. Ask about its environment and routine, what does it eat and how often - ask to see a sample or a bag of food, can you buy this yourself or take some home? Where is the puppy or kitten kept, has it interacted with lots of people, has it been exposed to noises such as television, vacuum cleaners or children? A puppy, which has been in a quiet environment, may have to be carefully introduced to new experiences to make sure it doesn’t grow up afraid!

Find out about its medical history, have the puppies had their vaccinations, are they micro chipped? Has the litter been wormed? It’s worth doing a spot of research about your chosen breed also! Are there any problem diseases they are susceptible to, for example, British Short Haired cats can inherit certain heart deformities and Labrador Retrievers, unfortunately, can pass on genes for poor hip and elbow structure. Different breeds have different screening tests to make sure the chance of passing inherited diseases is low, ask to see certificates of screening for problem diseases, vaccinations, and micro chipping.

When you are ready to choose an individual pet, don’t be rushed, spend plenty of time with the litter and watch the puppies or kittens grow – hopefully one of them will become your responsibility and will enrich your life for many years to come.

Yoshi found his forever home back in September, last year. He is such a beautiful boy, his new family said: “We will look after him and spoil him”

What Is Dyslexia?

Felicity Page Of Shropshire Dyslexia Tutoring Explains...

Early recognition

Felicity P. Page MA (Ed) B.Ed (Hons) AMBDA SpLD APC (Patoss) Telephone: 07983 981677 Email: dyslexiateaching@aol.co.uk Have you noticed your child is sometimes getting words muddled when they are reading or spelling?

Do they find it hard to remember and carry out two or more instructions at a time? Is it difficult for them to concentrate on writing or reading without being distracted by what’s going on around them?

And are these challenges starting to have an impact on your child’s confidence and on their progress at school? If they are, have you wondered whether you child may be experiencing specific language and learning difficulties?

The speed of children’s learning and development may vary, but if your child experiences any of these challenges and they are persisting then it would be worthwhile investigating further. It may be that they have a dyslexic profile or there may be other reasons.

A child with a dyslexic profile is just as bright and capable as their peers – sometimes brighter! Often they are highly imaginative and creative, and they may have exceptional technical skills. They can be quick ‘thinkers’ and ‘doers’.

What is dyslexia?

Dyslexia can be described as a specific difference in the way that some individuals learn and process information. This can present difficulties in one or more of the following areas: • Spelling and written language • Reading • Motor skills • Short-term memory • Sequencing • Auditory or visual memory According to the British Dyslexia Association, 10 per cent of the population experience dyslexia to a greater or lesser extent. While children and adults with dyslexia share features in common, each individual’s profile is unique.

Dyslexia as an advantage

The same dyslexic features that create academic challenges bring exceptional talents, which should be recognised and nurtured.

Entrepreneurs are five times more likely to experience dyslexia and many architects, engineers, surgeons, sportspeople, actors, explorers and craftspeople have a dyslexic style.

There are clear advantages to early recognition of a dyslexic profile. This means that your child can start to learn and practise essential literacy skills using approaches that recognise their own individual strengths and style.

Recognition gives children an earlier opportunity to learn simple techniques for managing concentration and stress anxiety, allowing their confidence, learning and potential to develop.

Does my child need an assessment for dyslexia?

An assessment is useful but not essential in every case. It can help to identify the way in which your child processes information as well as their strengths and weaknesses in literacy learning. Tutoring can be more carefully tailored to your child’s individual needs and style.

How can I help?

As an experienced specialist dyslexia tutor and assessor I will create an individual and timebased plan for your child, for tutoring in a calm environment where distractions are minimised. All students who are keen to improve their skills will succeed!

For further advice, or a confidential chat regarding your child, please give me a ring.

NSC Lambing Day_Double Page Editorial 16/02/2016 08:39 Page 1

mbing North Shropshire College’s Spring La

Day 2016

North Shropshire College (NSC) will be holding its increasingly popular Spring Lambing Day on 20th March 2016; the College will be opening up its Walford Campus to visitors. Last year’s Spring Lambing Day attracted over 4000 visitors, who visited the College’s farm, animal care centre and engineering department.

The farm’s 200 strong dairy herd took part in many milking displays and demonstrated the Fullwood Merlin milking robot, but the stars of the show were the lambs. Most born in the preceding month and some born on the day.

Many of the popular attractions from last year will be making a welcome return in 2016, those returning are: Whitchurch Dog Display Team, Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service, Archery, NSC’s Robot Milking Display, Face Painting, Treasure Hunt etc.

The extremely popular Animal Care Department at the Harris Centre, welcomed visitors last year who crowded around the Meerkat enclosure, and met the College’s wide array of reptiles, insects and spiders in the exotics room and even saw the College’s many Birds of Prey.

The entrance fee on the day will be £10 per car/family on foot, there will be free parking at the Walford Campus or at Corbet School with a park and tractor/trailer ride to the event.

There are limited commercial stalls available. If you would like to find out more, please get in touch with Lucy Evans at l.a.evans@nsc.ac.uk.

For more information about Spring Lambing Day or courses at NSC, please visit the College website at www.nsc.ac.uk.

Work placement is a big confidence booster for Charles...

Teenage business student Charles Webb says his selfconfidence and communication skills have soared after receiving a glowing report from a work placement.

The 19-year-old, from Dothill in Telford, is on a level two Business Administration course at Telford College of Arts and Technology.

As part of his studies, he was given a work placement at the Park Lane Centre in Woodside – and has returned with a top-class report from the team.

Jacqui Idiens, Centre Manager at the business and community meeting hub, said: “Charlie is a very enthusiastic and competent worker. He completed every task well, and was a pleasure to work with.” On his endof-placement assessment, he was rated either ‘excellent’ or ‘good’ in all 17 of the categories under observation.

Charles, a former Ercall Wood School student, said: “Initially, I felt I was unable to feel confident in performing tasks, but as I progressed, I realised that I was more able than I ever envisaged, which boosted my confidence and made me feel more secure in myself. “I have gained confidence in my communication skills which I hope will

prove to be an inspiration to other students who feel they are unable to fulfil their full potential.”

Charles said he chose to attend the Telford College Business Administration course because he previously studied a level three Extended Diploma in Art and Design.

Asked what he would say to anyone considering signing up for a TCAT Business Administration course, Charles said: “It provides the student with a basis for future career opportunities and the qualifications that are required to gain them confidence in themselves and employability.

“My time at TCAT has provided me with the skills, knowledge and understanding that have been required for my future career opportunities and employability.”

est Easter N Cupcakes

Ingredients

3 Medium Eggs, Beaten 100ml Milk 1 Tsp. Vanilla Extract 175g Golden Caster Sugar 200g Self-Raising Flour 50g Melted Butter For The Frosting - 100g Chocolate, Melted 200g Unsalted Butter, At Room Temperature 225g Icing Sugar, Sifted To Decorate - Orange Or Yellow Icing For Chicks & Black Writing Icing Tube

Method

hicken C g in r p S san & Parme

1. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases & heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Whisk together the eggs, milk and vanilla.

Tip sugar into a big mixing bowl with the flour and mix. Add the whisked egg mixture, melted butter and chocolate, stir together until smooth.

2. Spoon into the cases until quite full and bake for 18-20 mins on a middle shelf until golden and a fork poked into the middle comes out clean. Cool the cakes on a wire rack.

3. To make the frosting, put the chocolate, butter and icing sugar in a big bowl and beat together with an electric whisk until just combined.

4. Spread some of the frosting generously over the top of the cooled cakes – you don’t have to go right to the edges. Once you’ve done all 12, scrape the rest of the icing into a piping bag fitted with a fine nozzle, and pipe a ring around the top edge to make a nest.

5. Make a baby chick by moulding oval shapes with yellow icing and then make little beaks from the orange icing and sticking on with a little runny black icing when you add the eyes. Place the baby chicks into the middle of each cake and enjoy.

Ingredients

1 Egg White 5 Tbsp Finely Grated Parmesan 4 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast 400g New Potato, Cubed 140g Frozen Peas Handful Baby Spinach Leaves 1 Tbsp White Wine Vinegar 2 Tsp Olive Oil

Method

1. Heat grill to medium and line the grill pan with foil. Beat the egg white on a plate with a little salt and pepper.

2. Tip the Parmesan onto another plate and dip the chicken first in egg white, then the cheese. Grill the coated chicken for 10-12 mins, turning once until browned and crisp.

2. Meanwhile, boil the potatoes for 10 mins, adding the peas for the final 3 mins, then drain. Toss the vegetables with the spinach leaves, vinegar, oil and seasoning to taste. Split between four warm plates, then serve with the chicken.

Easter Recipes_Double Page Editorial 17/02/2016 17:49 Page 2

Lamb Cutlets Ingredients

3 Tbsp Olive Oil 3 Garlic Cloves - ďŹ nely sliced 2 Springs Rosemary, Finely Chopped 4 Lamb Chops (Serves 2)

Method

1. Combine the olive oil, garlic and rosemary in a small bowl. Stir well and brush the chops with the avoured oil on both sides generously.

2. Use a preheated ridged griddle pan on a medium to high heat to cook perfect lamb chops.

3. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side - the meat should still be slightly pink on the inside.

Serve with mashed potatoes and a selection of veggies like carrots, asparagus or minted garden peas.

So simply and oh so tasty!

Little Mix Tour_Double Page Editorial 08/09/2015 16:46 Page 1

Get Weird Tour GENTING ARENA, BIRMINGHAM, 18TH MARCH 2016

www.little-mix.com

The world’s biggest girl group are back at last!

Little Mix has announced a major UK arena tour for March 2016.

The tour begins on Sunday 13th March and will arrive in Birmingham on Friday 18th March for one night at the Genting Arena, Birmingham.

Speaking of their previous sell out show, Leigh-Anne explains “to have our fans singing songs, that we’d helped write, back to us, was a dreams-come-true moment.”

The news comes hot on the heels of Little Mix’s new worldwide smash hit single ‘Black Magic’, a spellbinding and irresistible pop explosion with a soaring chorus and addictive call-and-response middle eight. With state-of-the-art pop production from Norwegian hotshots Electric, the track stormed straight to No.1 on the Official Chart in the UK. ‘Black Magic’ is the first single from their eagerly anticipated third album ‘Get Weird’ due for global release Friday 6th November.

Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall became Little Mix in 2011.

They have sold over 7 million records, had two UK No.1 singles and two platinum albums ‘DNA’ and ‘Salute’. As well as a successful arena tour they have been the recipients of both a Cosmo Ultimate Woman Award and a Glamour Women Of The Year Award. With over half a billion YouTube and Vevo views worldwide, they’ve also successfully become one of Britain’s greatest exports with massive tours in the US, Australia and Japan – breaking the Spice Girls’ long-held record of highest debut US chart position for a UK girl group in the process.

Tickets for Friday 18th March at Genting Arena are priced at £28.83, £40.08 and VIP at £112.08 + fees. Tickets are available from www.theticketfactory.com or 0844 338 8000, calls cost 7p per minute plus your phone company's access charge.

A step in the right direction...

Given the amount of use and abuse that we subject our feet to, in this modern world of stylish footwear and hard flat surfaces, it is of no surprise that many patients assume that they have to just accept and put up with the pain that accompanies standing and walking.

Precision Orthotics and Foot Care Centre based in Telford are specialists that can help alleviate and usually eliminate even the most stubborn of ailments and the long term causes of foot, ankle and knee pain, meaning that you don’t have to carry on suffering with Chronic Foot Pain.

With over 10 years of experience in dealing specifically in this sub speciality, we have all the experience as well as the very best equipment for the job of helping you and your family enjoy each and every step!

The way in which our feet move, our posture and walking style are normally largely to blame for the vast majority of suffering.

Custom Orthoses are precision made from 3D laser scans of an individual foot, before being designed using software that is more commonly used in the aero-space and engineering industries. In essence we treat the cause of your complaint, not only the symptoms.

All Prescription Orthotics are made on site with our full Lab facility, which means that there are no inaccuracies translated into your prescription by technicians and outside sources. We use machines and equipment that work to under a hairs tolerance.

Of course not all complaints can be solved in this simple manner. We are first and foremost clinicians. We will advise on all treatment options.

To end your suffering or to simply aid comfort and posture whilst assist sporting activity, Call for advice TODAY on 01952 677063 Precision Tuning For Every Step - Visit:

Spring Cleaning Tips 10 Quick Tips for Putting Spring Into Your Home...

Kick start spring cleaning with these easy tips.

Your home will feel good as new...

1. Freshen Up Your Fabrics: Wash mattress pads, pillow coverings, and pillows from all of your family’s beds. Check the labels for special instructions. Also do your bath mat, shower curtain, and even curtain liners on a gentle cycle.

2. Microwave Magic: Fresh lemons smell clean, right? Cut one into four and then place the pieces in a microwaveable bowl with some water to cover. Cook on high power for a couple of minutes. This will help to soften dried on food inside, whilst giving you a glorious citrus scent.

3. Fridge Fæs: Grab the bin and ditch spoiled food, old condiments and limp veggies. Remove all the glass shelves and draws and give them a good wash with bleach and a sponge. Don't forget the exterior door front and handle.

4. Cut The Clutter: Have a really good de-clutter of the kitchen cupboards, throw away anything you don’t need or haven’t used in the last decade! Then use the space to get rid of the clutter on the worktops. You will be amazed at the difference.

5. Blast Oven Spills: Burned-on spills welded to the bottom of your oven can give off odors and cause smoke. Take a metal spatula and gently chip off any loose pieces — with any luck, this alone might do the trick. If not, liberally spray with ammonia.

Leave it for at least five minutes, sprinkle on baking soda completely covering the stain. Add just a few drops of white vinegar and allow it to bubble for a minute or two, wipe away the grime with a scrub sponge, finally wiping with a wet sponge.

6. Banish Bin Odors: Take plastic bins outside for a quick hosing down and then leave them upside down to dry.

7. Spruce Up Sponges: Mix bleach in a bowl of water, and soak your sponges for fifteen minutes. This will kill the germs that build up on them and leave them nice and fresh.

8. Check Your Corners: You may have already done a number on your kitchen. But now it's a perfect time to get into ALL OF THOSE CORNERS. Get the hoover or duster up around the coving and ceiling corners to remove cobwebs.

9. Toss The Toiletries: If your loofah or toothbrush needs replacing, get rid of the old one now and get a new brush – this should be done every three months. Also, check for out of date medicines and throw them.

10. Shake It: Take rugs and runners outside and give them a good shake. Like back in the old days, put it over the clothes line and beat it to really get the dirt and dust that has built up over winter, out.

Discover the charming market town setting of Taylor Wimpey’s Burlington Fields!

Discerning purchasers seeking the perfect place to make their home are being urged to discover Taylor Wimpey’s new Burlington Fields development in the gorgeous Shropshire market town of Shifnal. This exciting brand new development enjoys a wellconnected location off Haughton Road, Shifnal, within easy reach of the town centre – which boasts an attractive Conservation Area and some quaint black-and-white buildings which rub shoulders with handsome Georgian properties.

Meanwhile Shifnal Golf Club, with its Regency-style clubhouse, is one of the best golf courses in the county – a recent venue for the PGA Midland Championships – and lies just to the north of Burlington Fields. While it’s steeped in historic charm, Shifnal offers some first-rate modern facilities, with a good selection of independent shops, pubs and places to eat, plus sports facilities and schools for children of all ages and a thriving community feel.

Anne Wallace, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Burlington Fields is a brand new development which we’ve only just launched in Shifnal – yet it’s already sparking a great deal of interest among savvy buyers.

“For those who aren’t already in the know, Shifnal is a fabulous location to call home – it has a real sense of history without being stuck in the past, and a great selection of modern facilities – so we’re expecting demand to continue to grow further.

“I’d urge anyone hoping to secure a property at Burlington Fields to visit us without delay to ensure they don’t miss out. One of these beautiful homes sold on the opening weekend!”

There are also good sports facilities: Idsall Sports Centre in Shifnal has a sports hall, gym and fitness suite as well as football pitches, a floodlit all-weather pitch and eight floodlit tennis courts.

The town has its own railway station, on the London Midland Shrewsbury to Wolverhampton line, which means that commuters or shoppers can get to Shrewsbury in 28 minutes and Wolverhampton in 23 minutes. There is also easy access to the M54, which itself links quickly to the M6, for many locations further afield like Birmingham.

To find out more about the new homes now on sale at Burlington Fields, property-seekers should visit the Sales Centre, located off Haughton Road, Shifnal, TF11 8DF, and open Thursday to Monday, from 11am to 5pm. The Sales Executive can be contacted on 01952 767135.

There are also beautiful new three and four-bedroom homes now on sale at Haycop Rise in Broseley, from £182,995 and £245,995 respectively. The Haycop Rise sales office is currently located at 3 Delphside Court, Broseley, Shropshire, TF12 5EP, and open Thursday to Monday from 11am to 5pm.

Burlington Fields comprises 184 stunning two, three, four and five-bedroom properties, offering something to suit every type of purchaser. There’s a superb selection of homes currently available to reserve, including two-bedroom terraced houses from £164,995, three-bedroom designs priced from £196,995, four-bedroom detached houses from only £279,995 and five-b edroom properties from £369,995.

One of the great aspects of living in a small town is the fact that schools for children of all ages are generally just a short walk from home – and Shifnal is no exception. What’s more, parents will be pleased to know that the main Shifnal schools – Shifnal Primary School, St Andrew’s CE Primary School and the town’s comprehensive secondary school, called Idsall School – are all rated ‘good’ by Ofsted.

Alternatively, the Sales Executive can be contacted on 01952 459116. Further information about Taylor Wimpey developments across the region is available by calling 01926 516911 or visiting www.taylorwimpey.co.uk.

A Lasting Tribute...

Choosing A Memorial

Most of us that some time are faced with a painful task of choosing a memorial for a loved one. Choosing a memorial for your loved one can be your way of creating a lasting tribute that will honour their life.

Monumental masons are the crafts people who make memorials, they are skilled in letter cutting, carving and designing. There is a lot to consider when choosing a memorial and as the decision is one that will last forever it is probably best not to do this at the same time as arranging the funeral.

A monumental mason can guide you through the process, discuss your ideas and help you create a memorial that reflects your loved one and also meet the regulations of the churchyard or cemetery. They will be able to discuss the type and colour of stone available, the design that you might like and help you with the inscription.

There are lots of options available, that are suitable for all budgets and tastes. From simple headstones to more elaborate kerbstones, as well as themed memorials for sports, such as football, meaning that you are able to create a fitting tribute to your loved one.
