Restaurant Review

The Fox Inn Much Wenlock...

The Fox Inn, sits prominently on the High Street in the historic town of Much Wenlock, a one-time coaching inn that has been refurbished beautifully, yet still managed to retain its original warmth and charm.

We’d heard good things about this family run Inn, so we were really looking forward to trying some of the offerings from the updated menu, which is crafted with seasonal themes.

You enter into a friendly, fun and inviting bar, perfect for sitting and relaxing with a glass of wine or a meal, freshly prepared by the chef Sarah.

We took some time to study the menu, finally deciding to start with Avocado, Tomato & Buffalo Mozzerella with Balsamic and Pesto

6

and for my colleague Andy - BBQ Crispy Pork Belly with Sour Cream.

The dishes were rich in flavour and presented beautifully, complete with pretty floral finishing touches.

Andrew said that the tender belly pork melted on the tongue beautifully. Our mains were also delicious: I enjoyed a generous sized portion of King Prawn and Clam Risotto in ravigote salsa – a glorious creamy ensemble of plump prawns and juicy clams and for Andy it simply had to be the Venison Loin, charred chicory, broccoli & stilton puree with red wine & port jus, which was divine.

Red wine poached pear with cinnamon ice cream was too much temptation for me to resist, and Andy decided to join me with a very special version of the classic Eton mess, with Rhubarb & pistachio.

They were a sublime finish to a wonderful evening of gastronomic delights.

The Brewery Review_Double Page Editorial 20/04/2016 16:13 Page 1

The Home of Great Pub Grub...

The Brewery Inn, Coalport!

After a long day in the office my colleague Surj and I didn't fancy going home to cook, so after reading some excellent reviews online we made our way to the Brewery Inn at Coalport.

When we arrived we both commented on how the recent refurbishment really enhanced the traditional feel of the place and we chose a table with a lovely view of the River Severn. The menu had a good choice of pub classics on it, starting from only £3. We were pleased to see plenty of options for both children and pensioners.

I went to the bar and ordered cheese burger, chips and salad, for Surj and lasagne, chips and salad for myself from the very pleasant barmaid.

Although there was a wide choice of

8

beer, wines and spirits from the well stocked bar we both had soft drinks as we were driving. After a short wait our food arrived and the huge portions truly amazed both of us.

Surj commented on how juicy and succulent her cheese burger was and

enjoyed every mouthful. My lasagne was delicious with a generously meaty filling and a lovely cheese topping. The chips that accompanied it were perfect; crispy on the outside with fluffy potato in the middle. The salad was fresh and crunchy to top off a perfect meal.

Even though we were really full from the massive mains, the reviews that I had read earlier were very complimentary about the desserts and we just had to try them. I had the triple chocolate fudge cake after our waitress recommended it and Surj decided to try the lemon meringue pie. The fact that Surj didn't speak whilst she ate her pie spoke volumes in itself!

Again, I was amazed by the giant portion of my beautiful chocolate

The Brewery Review_Double Page Editorial 20/04/2016 16:13 Page 2

fudge cake and it was even served with three big scoops of ice cream!

It was so nice I ate all of it.

If you're after a family run, friendly pub that offers great value for money, traditional well cooked food with service that is second to none, then you should get yourself to The Brewery inn as you will not be disappointed.

EXCLUSIVE TO

ST TROPEZ LIQUEUR A TASTE OF THE RIVIERA IN TELFORD!

CORE CONVENIENCE STORES! If you visit Core Convenience Stores in Trench and Wellington, you may be surprised to see that they are now the exclusive retailers of the St Tropez Liqueur brand, which they were thrilled to be able to offer to locals with a discerning, sophisticated taste.

St Tropez Liqueur dates back as far back as 500 BC and is still lovingly crafted with the same ancient traditions. Locals would gather wild white peaches from the hillsides overlooking St Tropez, which were then distilled. Over time, as the trade routes opened, exotic additions such as the essential oil – Ylang Ylang and Japanese Yuzu fruit were experimented with creating the first St Tropez Liqueur, which proved to be very popular.

A new generation of skilled artisans have skilfully recreated the ancient formula, which is on sale at the Core Convenience Stores. Best served chilled, St Tropez Liqueur makes an ideal drink all on its own or you can use it as a superb cocktail ingredient! Mix it with Champagne or Prosecco for a sophisticated summertime tipple.

ST Tropez Liqueur, with its peachy tones, is a really delightful drink, the unique flavours of Ylang Ylang and Yuzu creating a unique sunny taste which you simply have to try - Perfect for the Summer!

Have fresh herbs at your fingertips...

If you love cooking, what could be better than having fresh herbs on tap and in easy reach? Herbs are perhaps the most rewarding of container plants and can easily be grown indoors or outside in the garden.

Growing herbs is also a fab way to get your container garden off to a great start.

To keep your herbs healthy in pots, pick the tips regularly and feed well. Liquid seaweed is great for while they are growing. Rosemary, Thyme, Sage and Coriander grow particularly well in containers. Basil needs some nice warm sunshine if grown outside, and parsley will die after a couple of years once it has flowered, so you’ll have to replant it.

Mint is better grown in a pot rather than in a flower bed as it tends to run wild and you will be forever regretting planting it – despite the glorious smell!

A herb garden is a great way of getting younger children involved in the garden too, it’s never too early to grow some green fingers and they love being able to use something they have grown themselves in the kitchen too.

Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th June 2016 are not-to-be-missed dates for those with a passion for gardening, for this is when the beautiful town of Clun in South Shropshire hosts it annual Gardens Open Week-end. Founded by local resident Ruth Buckley in 1984, these gardens are one of the longest running events of its kind. You can see around 20 gardens large, small and in-between as well as enjoy a host of other treats offered by gardeners and others such as traditional Cream Teas along with a garden bric a brac stall, a bookstall and a Tools for Self Reliance stall (a small UK based charity working to relieve poverty in Africa). There will be also be a well-stocked plant stall where you can buy perennials , annuals (for those later summer gaps) as well as herbs, put together by Ros Barker, 'Rose Expert' (to give her her official title at David Austin) who has worked in horticulture for 36 years.

Ros will be on hand to help you choose what you need and our resident Plant Doctor, Steve Reynolds, will also be on hand to answer any questions you may want to throw at him. (Ros and Steve are only available on Saturday)

Trinity Hospital

Lake House

St George's Church, to whom all profits from this event will go, provides the centre-piece. What better than a Norman Church to showcase the talents of our local flower arrangers?

Or those of local muscians who have offered recitals throughout the week-end? Including a team of harpists who will pop up from time to time to give you a foretaste of Heaven under an English Sky. For further details go to www.clungardensopen.co.uk For 2016 we have 20 gardens open from 2-6pm!

BEYONCÉ THE FORMATION WORLD TOUR

The European leg of THE FORMATION WORLD TOUR will start on June 28 in Sunderland, United Kingdom at Stadium of Light. Additional European stadium dates include London, Manchester, Zurich, Amsterdam, Paris, Milan, Stockholm, Frankfurt and more.

32

True to her life’s work of always giving back, fans will be given the opportunity to participate in Beyoncé’s #BeyGOOD initiative supporting local United Way programs and the continued work surrounding the water crisis in Flint, Michigan. United Way of Genesee County has been at the forefront of distributing thousands of filtration pitchers, faucet mount filters, replacement cartridges and truckloads of water to underserved populations to address immediate needs in Flint Michigan. They are also partnering with the Community Foundation of Greater Flint to create a fund that will address long-term developmental, education, nutrition and health needs of the children affected by the Flint Water Crisis. Follow @beygood on Twitter for more information.

As Beyoncé wants to present her fans with the best possible experience at the concerts, she has joined forces with THX Ltd to provide the highest quality audio experience during THE FORMATION WORLD TOUR. THX has assessed, optimized and certified that the acoustic systems used at the concerts are without peer. With this association, concert-goers will get the best acoustic experience possible at any large-venue event.

THE FORMATION WORLD TOUR is BEYONCÉ's first solo tour since her ambitious Mrs. Carter Show World Tour in 2013. The sold-out tour spanning two years and five

Beyonce - Formation Tour_Double Page Editorial 20/04/2016 14:42 Page 2

continents thrilled nearly two million fans and was hailed by critics worldwide. During the summer of 2014, BEYONCÉ and JAY Z launched the six-week ON THE RUN Tour, playing major stadiums in the US. They ended the tour in Paris, France in September 2014 with two additional dates that were filmed for an HBO Special that was nominated for an Emmy Award.

RIHANNA THE ANTI WORLD TOUR

The tour, produced by Live Nation, kicked off in North America back in February, in San Diego, CA with nearly 40 shows lined up. The European leg of the tour will then follow with dates set up in London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Milan, Vienna and more. The Weeknd and Big Sean will be featured as special guests on all European dates.

Rihanna has become a modern music, entertainment and fashion icon. As an accomplished performer, she has sold 54 million albums and 210 million digital tracks worldwide making her the top-selling digital artist of all time. She's released 7 albums in 7 years, achieved 13 Number One singles and won 8 Grammy Awards. She is the most viewed artist on Vevo/YouTube with over 7 billion views and 23 Vevo certified videos, the most of any artist. She is also one of the biggest artists on Facebook with over 81 million friends. In addition, she's successfully launched six fragrances, two capsule collections with Armani, as well as four River Island collections and is currently the spokesperson for MAC & Viva Glam and the new face of Dior’s “Secret Garden” campaign. Rihanna is PUMA's global ambassador for Women’s Training and now serves as the Creative Director, bringing her styling sensibilities and innovation to PUMA’s collections.

The Weeknd's path to Beauty Behind The Madness has defied all conventions. He avoided revealing his face until over a year after he released his very first song online. The story itself is now legendary. In 2011, he released an untouchable series of three critically revered free mixtapes — House of Balloons, Thursday and Echoes of Silence — and the internet exploded with praise and a whole lot of theories about him as he personally remained silent. Soon though, his reach and appeal exponentially expanded. He teamed up with

Rihanna Anti_Double Page Editorial 20/04/2016 14:46 Page 2

Ariana Grande for the platinum-selling hit "Love Me Harder." He then had the mainstream completely in his grip with the release of "Earned It (Fifty Shades of Grey)" in early 2015. The first release from the chartdominating, platinum Fifty Shades of Grey Original Motion Picture soundtrack became a triple-platinum smash that enjoyed 27 weeks on Billboard's Hot 100.

"Can't Feel My Face" formally ushered in Beauty Behind The Madness. Beauty Behind The Madness went gold just two weeks after being released. In addition, “The Hills� has officially been certified 5x platinum.

66

The spirit of Route 66, was immortalised in Bobby Troup’s 1946 classic ‘Get Your Kicks On Route 66’, it is ingrained in the American psyche.

Nicknamed the ‘Mother Road’, this iconic highway between Chicago and Los Angeles represents America’s ideals of freedom as well as celebrating its love of the motor vehicle. This sensational holiday is both an epic road trip and journey of discovery through the American heartland, taking in gems such as Oklahoma, President Lincoln’s home in Springfield, St Louis, Amarillo and Albuquerque, as well as the extraordinary expanse of the Grand Canyon and the incredible Petrified Forest National Park. Covering ‘more than two thousand miles all the way’, heaven for fans of retro Americana.

Holidays 2016 Route 66_Double Page Editorial 20/04/2016 15:19 Page 2

1. Chicago to Springfield

Begin this epic road trip with a tour of this magnificent city, constructed along the shores of Lake Michigan.

The ‘Windy City’ is where you take the first steps along the ‘Mother Road’. Although they have been modernised through the years, the trip still encompasses the Route 66 spirit that has enthralled so many since its inception in 1926. Going south to the Springfield area, which President Lincoln called home for many years. Stop off at his tomb, the final resting place of the president after he was assassinated in 1865, or visit Lincoln’s home, a National Historic site.

Chicago - The Windy City

2. Springfield - St Louis - Springfield (Missouri)

Head to New Salem, this reconstructed village includes houses, shops and a general store, with period costumed interpreters. Then on to St Louis to discover all that it has to offer. Why not take a riverboat cruise along the Mississippi, tour the huge AnheuserBusch Brewery or experience the Botanical Garden.

On to Springfield tour of the aptly named Fantastic Caverns to view the spectacular cave formations.

Amarillo

3. Oklahoma - Amarillo - Albuquerque

Stop for a coffee in Joplin before heading into the state of Oklahoma and Amarillo. Since it was founded in the 1880s, Amarillo has experienced many things, from civil war battles to the creation of many millionaires from the ‘black gold’ of the area. Just outside Amarillo you can catch a glimpse of an unusual sight - ten half-buried Cadillacs, tail up in a field, which is said to represent the golden era of the car. Onward to New Mexico, known as ‘the Land of Enchantment’ and Albuquerque, a historic city dating back 300 years.

4. Flagstaff - Grand Canyon - Las Vegas

Arizona greets you next, take a visit to the Petrified Forest National Park, where quite literally the remnants of an ancient forest have been fossilised.

Incorporated in the park is the Painted Desert, a vast arid badland scattered with buttes and mesas.

Moving on you take in a true world wonder - the Grand Canyon. The colossal size is difficult to comprehend.

Add to the experience by taking a superb helicopter flight over the canyon - it’s breathtaking. You will then travel through Hualapai Indian country, visit the Hoover Dam and on to Las Vegas to marvel at the sight of the Strip and Fremont Street.

Las Vegas

Grand Canyon

5. Las Vegas - Santa Monica - Long Beach

West now Barstow and a visit to Calico Ghost town, an old silver mining town which has become a popular tourist attraction. Then continue your travels through the San Bernardino Mountains and down to Los Angeles. Taking Santa Monica Boulevard to the coast itself and the actual end of the road at the Pacific Ocean! Explore Santa Monica Pier and enjoy some Shrimps at Bubba Gump’s or take a look at the stunning beach where Baywatch was filmed. 39

Higher Education courses at Telford College of Arts and Technology are helping to change people’s lives.

Don’t just take the college’s word for it – ask the students themselves, like local working mum Jacqui Cooke.

At the age of 41, she has just completed a Foundation Degree in Supporting Children in Primary Education and is seeing her career go from strength to strength. She says: “When I first started the course, I worked in a primary school as a teaching assistant. Although my role had its rewards, I began to feel like I wanted to do something more and decided I would like to become a teacher.

“I hadn’t been in any form of education for nearly 20 years but knew I had to gain a degree if I wanted to further my career. Enrolling on the Foundation Degree was the first step in achieving that. Two and a half years on, my life has changed completely.

“I now love working as a family support worker on the Safeguarding Team for Shropshire Council, and I am about to start a top-up Degree which will give me a BA (Hons) in Special Needs and Childhood and Family Studies.” The beauty of taking a Higher Education course at TCAT is that you don’t need to take out a massive loan, or build up a huge debt from living away from home, to reach your goals. There are a wide range of courses in topics from Accounting and Art to Business, Childcare, Computing, Education, Engineering, Health, Human Resources, and Sport.

All of TCAT’s Higher Education programmes have small class sizes and state-of-the-art facilities, and are delivered by highly qualified tutors who are experts in their field.

Jacqui Cooke says: “Studying at TCAT changed a lot for me personally and professionally. Through my studies, I discovered my capabilities as a learner, a professional and as a person in my own right. “I now feel as if I have my own identity and my experience at TCAT has helped to define the type of person I am. I am still a good mum, but I now recognise I can achieve as an individual.”

Caroline Bastow says: “Achieving a higher level qualification not only prepares you for future employment, promotion or a change of career, it also offers excellent practical and academic experience for continuing studies.

“We take pride in the relationships we have built with awarding bodies and local universities who validate our higher education provision. These links ensure that students have the benefit of the support, resources and expertise offered at both institutions.”

Want to find out more about Higher Education opportunities at TCAT? There are information evenings on May 10 and June 9, from 4.30pm to 7.30pm. Email HE@tcat.ac.uk or call 01952 642237 for more details.

Summer Fitness - The Great Outdoors There are some great reasons to get outdoors this Summer, getting out in open green spaces helps to relax your mind and relieve brain fatigue. As well as this there are studies that suggest that there are many benefits to exercising outdoors such as:

You will burn more calories: Some research has shown that you burn 10% more calories when walking or running outdoors than when they do it on a treadmill at the same speed. Being outside gives you something other than how much you ache or if you feel tired, which in turn means you work out harder without even realising it.

You will feel happy: Exercising is known to improve your mood and combining this with the great outdoors can help with vitality, energy, and help lower anxiety and depression!

Stress Buster: We all know stress is bad for us and it has been found that stress is lowered during activities that take place out in the countryside or even urban ‘green’ areas.

Relax, breathe deeply and clear your mind – you will be surprised how good it feels.

It’s Cheap: With the average gym membership costing anything from £25 a month, which is ok if you can go every day, you could save a small fortune by going straight out of your door and enjoying a walk or run.

The Salon editorial_Double Page Editorial 04/04/2016 19:17 Page 1

Hair & Beauty Salon in the heart of Shrewsbury...

THE SALON Day Spa Relax at...

The Salon Shrewsbury is one of Shrewsbury’s leading salons for Hairdressing and Beauty Tanning. Offering treatments and services that are guaranteed to make you look and feel fantastic.

My week had been long and stressful, but luckily for me my son had decided to treat me to a relaxing Spa experience at The Salon in Shrewsbury, for my birthday, which I was really looking forward to.

My daughter and I went along to enjoy a well-deserved pampering, on a busy Saturday lunch time. We entered the salon area and were greeted by the lovely Lucy and her team, who made us feel very welcome. Upstairs we entered the stunning Spa room complete with sauna, shower and luxuriously comfortable loungers. The Spa is a recent addition to The Salon and has been thoughtfully planned and decorated to a very high standard. The calming accentuation of grey walls and ceilings, mixed with lush fabrics and plump feather cushions, along with pretty low level lighting setting the scene perfectly.

The 2 hour Spa experience included a 30 minute upper body massage, as well as a glass of Prosecco each and some very tempting nibbles. We got changed into our fluffy robes and crisp white slippers and relaxed for a little while, I could feel my shoulders beginning to unwind, the knots of stress that had built up over the week slowly diminishing. We decided to give the sauna a go. There is something fantastic about the tingling glow you feel from a sauna. The sauna's benefits are numerous because it is so relaxing and leaves your body soothed and your mind serene but its main advantage lies in the fact that it promotes sweating, helping the body to rid itself of toxins.

We indulged in some granola, natural yogurt and fresh selection of berries, washed down with a sip or two of the prosecco, which was wonderful! It was then my turn to go and enjoy my upper body massage, which I really couldn’t wait for. We went

*New Day Spa now open downstairs to a separate treatment room, I made myself comfortable on the massage bed, the aromatherapy oils drifting throughout the room calming and soothing the senses.

My massage was just what the doctor ordered, the firm yet comfortable kneading of my back and shoulder muscles melting away any remaining stress instantly, I felt like a new woman!

I then swapped places with my daughter while she went for her massage and I went back to the Spa to make the most of my new found sereneness.

There are lots of treatments available at The Salon including facials, manicures and pedicures, as well as other massage treatments, to name just a few, a great way to escape the hustle and bustle and give yourself a well deserved treat.
