Putting customers first RISE FURNITURE AND MOBILITY ARE REDEFINING THE SHOPPING EXPERIENCE FOR THE ELDERLY. ise Furniture and Mobility opened its Leeds Road showroom in 2017.

Nominated in 2018 ‘National Best New Retail Business’ and ‘Best Website’, the Harrogate retailer is redefining the shopping experience for the elderly.

With over 35 years’ industry experience, Carl and Angel Drake decided to start their own business after becoming frustrated by their experiences shopping for Carl’s parents.

best-selling rollators, mobility scooters, leading wide fitting footwear brands and daily living products that enable customers to stay in their homes safer and for longer.

“Our philosophy when we started was to buy British or buy the best. We offer our customers a choice of products that are modern and attractive, as well as being functional and supportive, catering for all budgets,” added Carl.

Good enough for Mum and Dad…

Best in class customer service…

“We didn’t like the way my parents were treated by some companies, who lacked understanding, employed high pressure sales techniques and poor customer service,” said Carl.

“When choosing our products, we put ourselves in the position of our customers, who maybe buying for the first time. Our rationale, if a product was good enough to consider for Mum and Dad, then it would be good enough to sell to our customers too.”

Carl says providing excellent customer service is at the company’s core.

“We want to provide a pleasant, relaxed shopping experience with the best possible customer service, it’s something we feel very passionate about.

“We’re not your typical mobility shop. We don’t specialise in specialist medical aids, instead our showroom is far more lifestylebased,” emphasised Carl.

Products picked by experience…

What the future holds…

The busy Harrogate showroom not only offers an extensive range of the world’s finest mobility equipment – including awardwinning British rise recline chairs and beds, the UK’s best selling stairlifts and world leading home lifts – but also, sells the world’s

“We’re reinventing the shopping experience for the elderly and anyone struggling with mobility, by selling products that people really want, rather than products they need.

“It’s very satisfying to know that our products are changing people’s lives, helping

them maintain their independence to enjoy life at home for longer.”

“We stand by the sentiments of our mission statement. In fact, we’re building our reputation upon it.

“Helping one person might not change the world... ...but it could change the world for one person.”

“It adorns our showroom wall and totally sums up what we are trying to achieve. It serves as a constant reminder of why we are doing, what we are doing,” concludes Carl.

HIGH FLIER LEEDS-BORN ACTOR NIK GOLDMAN TALKS TO HANNAH SANDERS ABOUT HIS NEW ROLE IN A POLISH WAR FILM AND HIS PASSION FOR FILM PRODUCING.

30 Northside | www.northsidemagazine.co.uk

THE DIARY

t’s already been a busy year for Leeds actor Nik Goldman, as not only has he recently starred in the upcoming historical film Squadron 303 but he’s been diving into his other passion producing.

After studying drama from the age of 11, Nik went on to study TV and Radio Production with Acting at the University of Salford before attending The Northern Film School where he gained an MA in Film Production.

Since this, Nik has worked for various TV companies, acted in many films - his first big film being Jack Said in 2009 starring Danny Dyer where he played a lead role - and produced both short and feature films.

His most recent film Squadron 303, is a Polish production shot in Warsaw and tells the true story of the Polish Air Force Squadron in WWII being trained by the British Air Force. Nik plays Ronald Kellett, a squadron leader and acts alongside some of the biggest names in Poland including Anna Prus, Piotr Adamczyk and Maciej Zakoscielny as well as Yorkshire’s own Downton Abbey actress Cara Theobold.

Here he gives us an insight into his producing career, his most memorable filming moment and offers up some advice to young actors.

I

Nik on the set with some of the other actors in the film

Why do you think it’s so important to tell this historical event to the public?

It’s such a unique story and WWII is such a huge part of history for the world. In Poland it’s well-known but there has never been a narrative feature film made on the event. It’s important to be able to show people the history of the Polish Air Force and what they did during the war.

Tell me about your career so far.

After university and my MA in film production, I produced and acted in a number of successful films including Jack Said, Bloodrayne 3 and Auschwitz which was a feature film documentary and probably one of the hardest things I have ever acted in.

I’ve continued to develop my producing and acting career throughout the years including taking a lead role in Anarchy Parlour, a horror film in 2016. I’ve just filmed Squadron 303 and am really looking forward to what the rest of the year holds for me.

How did you land the role of Ronald Kellett in Squadron 303?

I was originally asked to help produce the film but I said I would prefer to act, however at the time they didn’t know what roles they had available so I came on board to help with the casting.

In the end, they came to me and said there were a few roles they thought I would be suitable for if I was still interested - of course I said yes and then took on the role of Ronald Kellett.

What was your most memorable moment during filming?

Acting alongside some big Polish stars including Piotr Adamczyk was just incredible.

I did a monologue scene which involved around 40 extras where I was introducing him – it was pretty daunting but very memorable.

stand out are The Wicked Within, a horror movie and the short film Brushstroke.

Acting can be a difficult career path - what have you found most exciting and challenging?

It’s a very difficult game which is why I do the producing side of things as well because when you are producing you can control your own projects. Although it can be very challenging when you are up against so many other great actors for a role, and it is such an unpredictable career path.

However, once you get a role and turn up to the production to deliver your lines it’s just pure excitement. That feeling of knowing your acting is going to be seen by the public is fantastic.

What advice would you give to aspiring actors?

‘Once you get a role and turn up to the production to deliver your lines it’s just pure excitement.’

What can the audience expect from the film?

It’s very sad, powerful, emotional and heavy drama. They can expect a very big production that hasn’t really been exaggerated and is true to history.

You’re also an established producer, what are some films you are most proud of?

I did a short film in 2004 called Briefing which had American actor, Robert Peters, in it that has stood out. I am also really proud of Jack Said, as we had some big names in there and not only did it gain commercial success at the box office. but became one of the fastest selling DVD’s. Two others that

If you’re going follow acting as your career path, I think it’s important to have another job to help fund your acting. It’s key to be flexible and open to every job that comes your way as you never know when you are going to get your next gig.

Young people should go out and do as many freebies as they can. So, take a role in the theatre and short films to help develop and discover yourself as an actor. Don’t forget to build up your casting reel as directors and agents as more interested in seeing what you can do.

What’s next on the cards?

In 2019 I’m producing two films; Breckenridge, a political thriller starring Brian Cox, along with The Au Pair, a psychological thriller. I’ll also be playing lead roles in both of these productions.

I’ve got some other upcoming lead acting roles in US Hollywood productions including The Locksmith, Hunted, A Southern Melody and Indelible.

As part of Spain, it is a vibrant, fun island with an abundance

T

of fantastic sandy beaches, traditional towns, hillsides and parks to explore. Is it any wonder that it has become a firm favourite with so many British holiday-makers?

Visitors can wander through Palma’s gothic quarter and wonder at its cathedral. Laze on golden sandy beaches or delight in the Tramuntana Mountains. Luxuriate in charming manor houses or relax in a sophisticated boutique hotel. For romance or fun, action-packed or lazy days, there’s something to suit everyone in Mallorca.

The Balearic Islands comprise of Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera, with Mallorca the largest, the most popular, and the best known of these delightful islands.

Mallorca is often likened to a continent rather than simply an island due to its variety in culture, history and natural landscapes and it is not surprising that the sheer beauty of the island captivates everyone who visits it. No other European island boasts more contrasting terrain, from the fertile plains of the centre to the almost alpine peaks of the Tramuntana Mountains in the northwest and across to the gentle hills of the Levante to the east.

The island’s 500km of coastline offers a

succession of lovely coves, beautiful sandy beaches and secluded bays with some extraordinary caves to explore: notably the Caves del Drac near Porto Cristo. And together with a mild climate and a rich cultural history, it really does provide a delightful holiday destination.

The highest peak in visitors is within the summer months, but there is in fact plenty to see and do all year round. Although if you are looking for a beach holiday, May to October will be the best time to visit.

Temperatures during the winter months are usually quite mild and remain in double figures. For those who are looking to explore Mallorca’s cultural and historic sights, the winter season is perfect as there are fewer tourists. The city of Palma is a popular choice for city and short breaks with such a great choice of shops, restaurants, museums and galleries.

Mallorca has something to suit all tastes: from designer shopping in Palma to haggling for leather souvenirs at the Inca market, from water parks to theme parks, from sailing trips to cruises and exclusive restaurants to tapas bars and evening entertainment shows.

TRAVEL

THINGS TO DO: Amaze’n Laberintos

Palma de Mallorca International Boat Show

The maze at Playa de Muro is one of the largest in Europe, stretching for nearly 1.4km on the beach beneath the pines. It’s a great idea for family things to do in Mallorca with its water dragons, monsters, witches, clowns and magicians lurking around hidden corners.

There are baffling puzzles and riddles to help or hinder your progress. Open daily.

A floating exhibition displaying more than 300 boats ranging from 6m to 35m in length, the International Boat Show is hosted in the Moll Vell port area of Palma during the last few days of April and first few of days of May. The show focuses on recreational sailing and the best of sailing as a sport.

Inca Market

A fascinating network of caverns, the Arta Caves, on Mallorca’s east coast at Cap Vermell, are nearly 50 metres above the sea.

The cave chambers rejoice in names such as Hell, Purgatory and Paradise. The 22m tall stalagmite known as Queen of the Pillars is the highlight. Open daily it is a great attraction to visit when looking for things to do in Majorca.

Held on a Thursday, Inca’s weekly market is one of the best ways to get a feel for the real Mallorca. Although holidaymakers do visit in large numbers, the vast majority of customers are Mallorcans keen to track down a bargain as almost everything is sold there. The leatherwork is particularly good and high quality handbags, sandals and baskets are available. It is a great place for shopping and gifts.

Palma Aquarium

Old Town Alcudia

Exhibiting an exceptional variety of flora and fauna of the Mediterranean Sea, Palma Aquarium boasts a very large array of species, including fish from the Australian coral reef and sharks amongst the 55 different aquariums. The aquarium is another great attraction for adults and children alike when looking for alternative things to do in Mallorca, away from the beach. The aquarium is open daily.

Located in the north-eastern area of Mallorca is Alcudia’s old town. The town is surrounded by a moat and walls which were built over the 13th and 14th centuries by order of King Jaume II in order to protect its inhabitants.

Now, the walls are an artistic historical site and are protected from further damage since part of the wall collapsed. Although the town has limited shops, there are cafés and restaurants serving traditional tapas and wine.

Arta Caves

There are also historical aspects about the town that are ready to be explored such as the roman theatre. A market runs on Tuesdays and Sundays 8.30am-1.30pm.

Catamaran

Exploring Mallorca on land is fantastic, however, if you fancy something a bit different, why not explore the surrounding seas with a catamaran day trip, a great way to view Mallorca from another perspective.

Offering a memorable experience with food, music and beverages, the charges are approximately 50 euros per person and 25 euros per child. Private hire is also available with prices varying between the different seasons.

Cycle routes

The island has some spectacular cycle routes to please all sorts of abilities. Dramatically stunning views over cliff tops accompany your ride as you make your way to the most north easterly point of the island, Cap de Formentor. At the tip is the Formentor lighthouse, when you can take some refreshment and gaze over the stunning views which make the task of cycling up those winding roads well worth it.

Mark Hinchliffe is an avid collector of objets d’art and has commissioned his own wallpaper (left) which he will be selling worldwide

Transformed by passion MARK HINCHLIFFE TALKS ABOUT HIS STUNNING RENOVATION OF THE CHAPEL, HARROGATE. uilt in 1896 - with its striking facade styled on a baroque Italianate church and lavish structural design of the late eighteenth century reminiscent of the architectural marvels of Rome - The Chapel, Harrogate, had the capacity to seat 1,000 worshippers, but when congregations dwindled in the early 21st century, the building fell out of use, and lay empty for a number of years.

In 2009, the building was given Grade II listed status by the National Heritage (Historic

B

England), a move which not only influenced the designing, planning and transformation of the Wesleyan chapel, but in 2013, kick-started one man’s exacting journey to restoration.

Here, owner and seasoned property renovator Mark Hinchliffe talks to Northside about the inspiration and determination behind converting a neglected sanctuary into a live/work home, and reflects on his undimming passion for antiquarian and contemporary art, and vintage curios.

Tell us about The Chapel

Mark Hinchliffe has transformed The Chapel, Harrogate

42 Northside | www.northsidemagazine.co.uk

The Chapel is a stunning grade II listed building located in the heart of Harrogate, which, as part of a complete two-year restoration, has been transformed to provide a distinctively historic, yet contemporary boutique bed and breakfast experience.

With its eccentric and eclectic mix of eras, The Chapel is the perfect place to admire the fascinating objets d’art and interiors I have spent a lifetime collecting, and there’s also a range of en-suite bedrooms, all themed and showcasing the exotic flavours of India, China, Japan and Europe.

Coupled with two living spaces one styled as a gentleman’s smoking

room and its counterpart as a ladies boudoir The Chapel is filled with all manner of ephemera, and the 50ft atrium is a beautiful open plan space, which not only serves as the perfect venue for corporate events, weddings and birthdays, but offers a stunning location for film, TV and photography shoots.

The exterior boasts a private garden and large external balcony, perfect for drinks receptions and private dinners, and we have some of the country’s top chefs on hand to provide exceptional French, Spanish and Italian cuisine.

What lead you to The Chapel?

Every building has its own unique set of reasons that make it worth restoring, but initially, preservation plays a pivotal role. Old buildings teach us about the history that transpired before us, and it is important to endorse respect for those who lived in different times and societies.

Visitors like to experience the ‘spirit’ of The Chapel, and I believe it’s down to not only the historical structures themselves, but restorers like myself to bring character and a certain charm to the community.

A decaying oldie is not an object of demolition, but rather an opportunity to contribute to local wellbeing.

The Chinese Opium Suite at The Chapel

Since converting the Chapel, I’ve met many people who have a connection, or are simply inspired by my work, and a recent guest - and member of the Ceretto family - invited me to not only visit the family vineyard, but renovate the property, having seen what I’d created here in Harrogate.

The Ceretto family embrace their passion for contemporary art and modern architecture, and in the last few years, they have commissioned a multi-coloured Sol LeWitt and David Tremlett Chapel in La Morra, a transparent Cube in Castiglione Falletto, and a technological Acino and Artist’s House in Alba.

Every renovator has a handful of other renovators and artists they look to for inspiration and guidance, and I have certainly stumbled upon another of mine.

What has been the highlight of your career so far?

Before Italy, I had been working non-stop for six months, so it was fulfilling to come back and comprehend just what I had achieved.

We also came runner-up to Soho House, Barcelona in the 2018 Vision Style Awards, which was a significant milestone. To be able to compete against a multimillion pound enterprise was particularly gratifying, and it was really rewarding to receive recognition for the ardour I put in to my work.

What advice would you give to anyone thinking of taking on a similar restoration?

Prepare yourself for a hard trip. It’s cost me relationships, my wellbeing and a lot of money.

You have to be slightly bonkers to take on such a demanding project, but once you stand back and really look at the finished product, the overwhelming feeling of accomplishment is unbelievable.

The Indian Suite

What did the restoration of The Chapel entail?

A lot of hard work and determination. I ran out of money, split with my partner, worked seven days a week and had two disks removed from my spine. But it was worth it.

In short, the stained-glass windows have been fully restored as part of a five- month project, and on the first floor, a small balcony of tiered seating has been extended to create six bedrooms. Where the organ used to be is a formal dining area, lit by a three-metre

chandelier, commissioned by avant-garde designer Mark Brazier-Jones, who also designed the sofa, dining table and chairs in the living area below.

When your sitting room and dining area are the size of an Olympic swimming pool, an Italianate marble floor is the obvious solution, right? So I purchased one from Lapicida in Knaresborough, where it was once the showroom floor.

Howarth-based furniture designer Anthony Hartley also did an exceptional job of upcycling the old pews, repurposing them to create a kitchen that sits somewhere between Victorian Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and Heston Blumenthal.

It was a long and arduous journey, but to capture the raw beauty of The Chapel, you really do have to experience it for yourself.

What projects are you working on at the moment?

I would like to work on a documentary in Italy, about wine, art and the serendipity of meeting people. Art is erupting on to vineyards and I would love to focus on the link between creation and the earth.

I love design, so I’m also in the process of having some of my personal collections made into prints and wallpaper, which I plan to retail internationally and from the Chapel. The wallpaper I have principally commissioned has already attracted some really interesting characters, and will be showcased in a property in Italy. It’s wonderful to be able to take a little piece of the Chapel worldwide.

I’m also currently filming with Channel 4, for a small series coming out later this year, but that’s top secret.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

I’d like to think I’ll be restoring something three times the size of The Chapel. An Italian palazzo, maybe.

Do you have plans to expand further?

What is a typical working day like for you?

I wouldn’t say I have a typical working day, because I’m constantly working on or thinking up new projects, but a recent working week for me entailed a trip to Alba, Italy.

I’m always conjuring up more plans for restoration, but there’s nothing in the pipeline imminently. Subject to application, I want to snap up a sister venue in Southern Italy - so watch this space.

Best in show THE GREAT YORKSHIRE SHOW RETURNS 10-12 JULY AND IS CELEBRATING A VERY SPECIAL ANNIVERSARY – 160 YEARS. PHOEBE SEYMOUR AND HANNAH SANDERS TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT’S IN STORE. he Great Yorkshire Show (GYS) is celebrating its 160th annual show with a busy line-up of activities and events showcasing the very best farming, food and countryside in the region.

Taking place at the Great Yorkshire Showground in Harrogate from Tuesday 10 to Thursday 12 July, and with over 130,000 visitors and 8,500 animals every year, 2018’s three-day event promises to be even more exciting than ever before.

“Our 160th Great Yorkshire Show is set to be magical with some of the finest animals in the UK competing, breathtaking performances in the main ring and plenty of surprises lined up for visitors to celebrate the milestone. This is a celebration of food, countryside and agriculture with something for everyone of every age while keeping farming at its heart,” said show director, Charles Mills.

As this year is an incredible milestone for the event, there will be a few surprises thrown in along the way including the

T

GYSheifer, which has already been on the moooove.

In the 1800s the Craven Heifer became a national phenomenon, touring the country and still remains the largest cow ever shown in England. To celebrate 160 years, The Yorkshire Agricultural Society has teamed up with Yorkshire sculptor, Emma Stothard to go back to where it all began by recreating the giant beast of a cow.

The one-off, life-sized sculpture has been touring Yorkshire to help promote one of England’s biggest and best agricultural shows.

If you missed its appearance at the pop-up spots worry not as it will be on display at the show this year.

Mason Gin, Bedale, is using apple blossom from the showground to create a limited edition gin to further make the show’s 160th anniversary, with around 100 bottles available to buy over the three days.

Cathy Mason, who set up the business with husband Karl said: “We wanted to do something to mark this big anniversary and to tie our special distillation in with the show.”

Show director, Charles Mills added: “This year is a big celebration for the show and we’re delighted that Masons are helping us toast our anniversary in true Yorkshire fashion and in a way that incorporates a real link to the showground and its beautiful landscape.”

To further celebrate, show organisers have launched a new limited edition clothing which includes a range of ladies and gents rugby tops, t-shirts, polos, caps and a special 46 Northside | www.northsidemagazine.co.uk

edition t-shirt.

All the clothing has a stylish, embroidered crest featuring Celebrating Yorkshire, circled

Lizzie Jones will be not only be a calendar highlight but be making history when she becomes the first singer to perform in the Main Ring.

The talented soprano will sing with The Band of the Royal Armoured Corps as well as performing after a one minute’s silence to remember one of the show’s longest serving commentators, Mike Tucker, who sadly passed away in March. Mike was a close friend of the Society and had been the Main Ring commentator at the GYS since 1973.

“It’s an absolute pleasure to have Lizzie Jones taking centre stage at the 160th show. It will also be very special to see Lizzie perform before we pay tribute to Mike Tucker a very good friend of the Society and show,” said Charles.

Lizzie will be performing twice a day in the heart of the showground dressed by Yorkshire designer James Steward who is known for show-stopping couture designs.

Over the three days, the showground will be full of special guests to help celebrate the 160 years including The Princess Royal on 11 July who will spend the day meeting officials, competitors and exhibitors.

Charles Mills said: “We are honoured by Her Royal Highness’s visit and it’s always

Strutting her stuff wonderful to welcome a visitor with such genuine interest in farming and the countryside. We’ll be able to show the Princess some of the best animals in the country as well as they very best of rural life, food and farming.”

From cutting edge farming equipment and machinery to displays from big name brands, the GYS is the place where all the latest ranges are showcases. And, although the show has agriculture at its heart, there’ll also be a host of entertainment, live music, cookery demos and a professional catwalk show featuring Countryfile Presenter, Anita Rani.

In the judging rings, thousands of animals from cattle to sheep and pigs to pigeons will compete for winning titles, with the show finishing with one of the most prestigious show jumping classes in the country – the Cock O’The North competition.

The Great Yorkshire Show features a host of country skills, an extensive food hall showcasing regional produce, over 1,200 stands where you can treat yourself to some local produce, the Discovery Zone to keep the little ones entertained along with much more – so rest assured that visitors will be in for an unforgettable event.

TV PRESENTER ANITA RANI WILL BE SWAPPING THE COUNTRYSIDE FOR THE CATWALK AT THIS YEAR’S GREAT YORKSHIRE SHOW. ountryfile presenter Anita Rani is to take to the catwalk at this year’s Great Yorkshire Show, swapping her wellies for something a little more stylish.

Bradford-born Anita, who has also fronted Watchdog, This Morning and was a huge hit on Strictly Come Dancing, will be one of the celebrities in the fashion show, which will this year be named the Kuoni Catwalk, thanks to support by luxury travel company, Kuoni.

It may be one of the biggest agricultural shows in England, attracting more than 100,000 visitors and 8,000 animals competing for a host of prestigious titles, but away from the judging rings is a very different event – a fashion show – which will include some of the latest country wear fashions and high-end new designs.

The Kuoni Catwalk will be held each day and there will be a one-off celebrity special starring Anita Rani and a host of local television personalities at 2.30pm on Tuesday 10 July.

Kuoni are in the John Lewis store in Leeds, and Anita will be dressed by the personal styling team there.

Anita, who comes from Bradford, said: “As a proud Yorkshire lass, I am really looking forward to being part of the Great Yorkshire Show and swapping the wellies I often wear on Countryfile, for something a little more stylish! I loved some of the outfits on Strictly

C

and although I’m a little nervous about being on a catwalk, it’s feels very glamorous to be showing off some of the latest fashion trends.”

Yorkshire-based tailors, Brook Taverner, will be showcasing their now famous Yorkshire Agricultural Society jackets made from Great Yorkshire tweed woven by another Yorkshire firm, Abraham Moon & Sons.

Charles Mills, show director added: “We are absolutely delighted to welcome Anita Rani to the Great Yorkshire Show and to have Kuoni’s support for the fashion show. There’s so much going on all over the 250 acres of the showground throughout the three days and the Kuoni Catwalk shows it’s not just about farming life and animals, there really is something for everyone.”

The show will be co-ordinated by Bernadette Gledhill of Morton Gledhill and backstage, the hair and make-up will be styled by students from the White Rose Beauty Colleges from across Yorkshire.

Before going onto the Kuoni Catwalk at 2.30pm on Tuesday 10 July, Anita will be in the Great Yorkshire Show kitchen, where she will be answering questions from the audience and a celebrity chef will be cooking up her favourite dish.

The Kuoni Catwalk will take place each day at The Great Yorkshire Show from 10-12 July at 11am, 12.30pm, 2.30pm and 4pm.

GREAT YORKSHIRE SHOW

Turning back the clock FASHION WILL TAKE CENTRE STAGE ONCE AGAIN AT THIS YEAR’S GREAT YORKSHIRE SHOW – BUT WITH A DIFFERENCE. etro fashions are coming to the fore as the 2018 Great Yorkshire Show will be recreating what people would have worn to the very first show in 1838, which was held at the Barrack Yard of the 5th Dragoons at Fulford near York. In the following years it moved to various locations around Leeds, Northallerton and Hull before returning to York in 1842.

It was cancelled from 1915 to 1919 due to the First World War, and then from 1940 to 1948, due to the Second World War. In 1950 the Yorkshire Agricultural Society bought a 200-acre site overlooking Rudding Park in Harrogate, and the Great Yorkshire Show has been held there since 1951, apart from 2001 when it had to be cancelled because of the Foot and Mouth outbreak, and in 2012 due to unprecedented rainfall.

Designer Joanna Rishworth from Keighley has painstakingly researched what people would have worn to the very first Great Yorkshire Show in 1838 and has recreated the costumes especially for the 160th celebrations.

Joanna, who is from a farming family and a recent fashion graduate from Harrogate College, says: “It’s not been easy as sadly there are no mobile phone photos available! In fact, there are no photographs of the first ever Great Yorkshire Show, so I’ve scoured the history books to find drawings and descriptions. There are some contradictions about what was acceptable countryside wear, but I’ve worked hard to make sure the costumes are as authentic as possible.”

Joanna then had to search for suitable fabrics and found the perfect samples at Abraham Moon & Sons in Guiseley, which she describes as being like an Aladdin’s Cave of fabrics. The Egyptian-inspired designs from Barnsley College company

New scholarship targets local students Giggleswick School has launched a new academic scholarship to help deserving students in the local area join its sixth form.

The James Carr Scholarship takes its name and inspiration from the school’s founders, the chantry priest of St Alkelda’s Giggleswick who leased land in 1499 to build a school at his own expense to educate children.

The scholarship will give talented Year 11 pupils the opportunity to join Giggleswick’s sixth form on the basis of their ability and potential, with awards available to cover all or part of the school fees. It is open to all children who live within 25 miles of the school and have predicted GCSE grades between seven and nine, and at least a grade eight in subject they intend to study.

Question: I feel breathless on doing things I could easily do before. My doctor sent me to a cardiologist who tells me my heart is normal but my breathlessness is not improving. What should I do?

Dr Raashed replied:

Breathlessness is a common problem and one that increasingly limits our functional capacity with age and diminishing fitness level. There are a number of causes for this and often we are focussed on a diagnosis related to heart or lungs. Careful assessment of both heart and lung conditions to clarify their relative contribution is important. Accurate assessment of lung health by detailed history – particularly occupational history, examination, lung function test and a chest X-ray is a good start. Occasionally, a CT scan of lungs and further lung function testing is required for clarity.

Breathlessness can be caused by a number of different things and changes in weight and loss of fitness and conditioning can contribute significantly towards it. Advancing age with diminishing musculoskeletal reserves does not help matters. Often losing ten per cent in weight (if you are overweight) helps greatly together by increasing level of fitness.

Health and lifestyle choices we make early on in our lives maintain our functional capacity for longer. Whilst maintaining a normal body mass index (BMI) and a certain level of fitness; it is important that people report changes they experience in their lives to their doctors so that early investigation can be performed. It is important for people with lung conditions such as Asthma or COPD to take inhalers as prescribed and monitor their condition regularly to maintain optimum lung health.

Get slimmer for summer ELEMENTS MEDISPA AND THE SKINNY PROGRAMME CAN HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT – AND KEEP IT OFF. re you ready to lose weight and feel great this summer? Are diet and exercise not enough to get you past a weight loss plateau?

More often than not, our desire to lose weight before an upcoming holiday becomes a last-minute sprint to the finish line, and exercise alone is not enough.

If you'd like to drop a few pounds before you hit the beach on your next getaway, the Skinny Programme is available exclusively at Elements MediSpa, and offers a combination of FDA approved and UK licensed prescription medication, alongside personal training sessions, dietary and nutritional advice and a total-body exercise plan, to help you reach and maintain your weight-loss goals.

Together with a healthy, calorie-controlled diet, Liraglutide (also known as Saxenda®) offers effective and reliable weight loss by controlling appetite, curbing hunger and reducing cravings for sweet and fatty foods.

Saxenda® is an FDA-approved prescription injectable medicine that is different from weight management products you may have taken in the past. It works like an appetite-regulating hormone, known as

A

glucagon-like-peptide (GLP-1), that the body produces naturally.

By activating areas of your brain that regulate appetite, Saxenda® makes you feel less hungry, which can lead to lower calorie intake and can help you to not only lose weight, but keep it off.

Elements launched this revolutionary treatment at their recent Anti-Ageing Open Day, with a presentation from owner Sandy Green and personal trainer, Richard Buckley, who works across all the council owned gyms in Doncaster and believes that by combining Saxenda® with personal training sessions, recipients will change the way they think about food and exercise – so the results last.

It’s very important to visit an experienced weight loss professional who will design a programme and prescribe the appropriate medication for you. Such professionals are available at Elements MediSpa, who are registered with the Care Quality Commission to offer services in slimming clinics.

Call now to book your FREE consultation and achieve weight loss success you never thought was possible.

The seal of approval QUALITY MARK AWARDED TO QUEEN ETHELBURGA’S. hapter House, the Early years, Infants and Juniors School at Queen Ethelburga’s Collegiate, has just been given a prestigious Primary Quality Mark Award for English and Mathematics by the national programme The Quality Mark. The Award is given in celebration of good practice and commitment to continuous improvement in these subjects, as the ‘bedrock of a good education’.

Working with local authorities, schools, local communities and other organisations in using the Quality Mark process, the national body aims to develop, support and celebrate good practice in literacy, language and numeracy for children and young people.

To achieve the Award, Chapter House underwent an assessment, against the 10 ‘Elements’ of the Quality Mark framework.

These cover key aspects of the school’s improvement approach, including the identification and analysis of the school’s needs; strategic planning; target setting for improvement; intervention and support for pupils under-achieving or under-attaining;

provision of quality in both teaching and in resources; staff development; and active engagement with families.

The award comes in swift succession to the school’s Silver Primary Science Quality Mark, earned in September 2017, which celebrates excellence in science teaching and learning, and enables schools to work together to share good practice.

Karen Kilkenny, Head of Chapter House said of the achievement: “Our aim is to provide the most supportive, creative and fun learning environment for each pupil, so that their skills and knowledge can develop to reach their individual potential at each stage of their educational journey.

“I’m very proud of the staff and pupils of Chapter House in achieving this Quality Mark. It is a reflection of the high standard of teaching and the delivery of inspiring lessons, as we work with our students to build a lifelong love of learning in every one of them.”

A NEW VISION FOR BRADFORD GRAMMAR SCHOOL SPORT. e want to nurture our pupils and give them the support and expertise they need in order to gain the confidence to try new sports and excel in their chosen fields.

My name is Oliver Rogers, I am the Director of Sport at Bradford Grammar School (BGS).

The following will give you an insight into the sporting experiences that build character, camaraderie and school spirit in all our pupils.

A positive relationship with sport, in some form or another, is a wonderful, enriching and potentially life-changing thing. In an era of growing concern for children’s mental health, the advantages of teamship have never been more important in building emotional intelligence.

Our sport provides an essential ingredient in a balanced school curriculum. We are lucky to have specialist coaches in cross country, cricket, rowing and hockey – many with county and national experience, which is fantastic for our pupils.

W

70 Northside | www.northsidemagazine.co.uk

Having the right expertise helps them aim high with their own sporting visions and is a crucial part of physical achievement. Another

Oliver Rogers, Director of Sport

factor for sporting success is having the right facilities in place, so we’re delighted to see the creation of our new multi-million-pound sports development over the next year. The investment will create new cricket lanes, netball and tennis courts, astroturfed hockey pitches and a new sports barn.

The development is part of BGS’s new sporting vision, which will also see us welcoming more high calibre coaches to the BGS team. I firmly believe that, regardless of age, gender or ethnicity, sport can be enjoyed by all. Its reach is unrivalled, gives real foundations in life, and promotes universal values that improve achievement and behaviour.

The new vision for BGS sport will give pupils opportunities to be active and competitive which is crucial to developing well-rounded young people.

EATING OUT

Sparkling flavours THAI EDGE IS A MUST FOR DISCERNING DINERS, SAYS CHRIS WILSON. hey’ve obviously gone to some trouble to make Thai Edge stand apart from other contemporary Oriental restaurants in Leeds.

While the standard statues and artefacts are present and correct, the temptation to fill every nook and cranny with ‘stuff ’ has been resisted in favour of a lighter, brighter colour scheme and a calming emphasis on space and clean crisp lines.

But it’s the food that really makes this distinctive Leeds landmark overlooking Millennium Square a go-to destination for lovers of authentic Thai cuisine.

All the plus points are there in abundance, from the subtle blend of herbs such as lemongrass, basil, coriander and galangal, to the sauces that are bursting with flavour and yet not too thick and gloopy.

One thing Thai Edge does have in common with virtually every Thai eatery I have ever visited...the choice of soups, salads, stir-fries, specials and curries is so vast it can make the eyes swim and provoke a feeling of mild panic.

My advice, stay calm, take inspiration from your surroundings, have a sip of something cold and delicious such as the very reasonably priced house white (Chilean Semillon Chardonnay, £14.50 a bottle) and focus on finding just two or three key main dishes that really appeal. Sides, noodles and sticky rice will then fall into place.

T

72 Northside | www.northsidemagazine.co.uk

It also helps that Thai Edge has an excellent selection of sharing starter platters to get the meal under way. We eased the decision-making process by choosing the premium platter (£8.50 per person), and were rewarded with a sparkling selection of duck spring rolls, pork dumplings, chicken satay skewers, crab meat and prawn cakes and prawn tempura, the latter winning particularly high praise from my friend Jane as being the crispest and lightest batter she’d ever tasted.

With three dips (sweet chilli, satay and hoisin) to complement these flavour-filled mouthfuls we were off to a fine start.

Having opted to share everything (surely the only civilised way to approach a Thai meal) we selected two contrasting mains.

Head chef Anon’s signature dish (£16.95) combined king prawns, pan-fired scallops and roast duck with aromatic Thai jasmine rice.

Everything was cooked to perfection and the scallops were especially tender and super fresh.

More sparkling seafood was on offer with a sea bass green curry (£13.95) served with accompanying aubergines, French beans and courgettes. The curry sauce was medium spicy, the fish was flaky and moist, all was good.

With rice already in place we filled the gaps with a portion of noodles with bean sprouts and soya sauce (£3.50) and tofu with cashew nuts (£6.95).

We found no room for soups and salads this time, but felt we had given the menu a thorough work-out and were rewarded with a splendid compendium of tastes and textures.

Service was friendly and attentive throughout. Jane, who recently discovered she was allergic to onions, shallots and spring onions in all forms, asked for a couple of the dishes to be adapted to meet her needs. No problem.

There is a good selection of desserts including traditional Thai sticky puds that are just perfect for anyone with a very sweet tooth, but a refreshing tropical fruit platter (£5.95) and a double espresso (£2.35) provided a lighter, cleaner conclusion that seemed more in keeping with the surroundings. This much-loved Leeds restaurant remains at the cutting edge of Thai cuisine.

Yorkshire’s finest ENJOY AN AWARD-WINNING DINING EXPERIENCE AT THE BURLINGTON, COURTESY OF HEAD CHEF, PAUL LEONARD.

‘

he Burlington’ at The Devonshire Arms is one of Yorkshire’s finest hotel restaurants. Head chef, Paul Leonard, is inspired and confident in his direction, having been at the restaurant over a year now.

Paul gained a Michelin star at The Isle of Eriska, and worked under Andrew Fairley, as sous chef at Gleneagles, which having two Michelin stars/4 AA rosettes, is one of the best, so he certainly has a reputation for excellence.

Quality dining, attentive, friendly service, fine wines and a relaxed elegant ambience define the award-winning dining experience at The Burlington, and the restaurant currently holds 3 AA rosette status.

Modern British menus showcase Yorkshire’s finest foods; fresh, seasonal ingredients are paramount to Paul, including home-grown roots, leaves, flowers and fruits grown and harvested by the kitchen team, not forgetting

T

74 Northside | www.northsidemagazine.co.uk

the honey, harvested twice a year from the beehives, all from the Duke’s walled kitchen gardens at The Devonshire Arms.

This, along with estate-reared meats and artisan cheeses, East Coast fish and seafood, home-baked breads and delicate patisserie, ensure that diners are in for a real treat with dishes that ignite the senses.

The wine cellars are legendary and awardwinning, well-stocked with some extremely fine wines as well as those that offer the best quality and value, they certainly add a certain cachet to those seeking an unforgettable dining experience.

Guests benefit from attentive and personal service, which is far from stuffy, via a motivated and knowledgeable team. They share the diners’ passion for fine dining and wines, helping them with their selections, making sure their dining experience is enjoyable and seamless.

Last winter, the classical country house décor and soft furnishings of The Burlington were refurbished, and new chandeliers installed, enhancing the elegance and classical style of this fine restaurant. The restaurant incorporates a traditional dining room setting, as well as a conservatory element, which is particularly wonderful on a summer’s evening, when the light evenings allow diners an outlook of the Italianate gardens with the inspiring views over the Dales as a backdrop.

Dining critics from The AA recently

recognised the craftsmanship in Paul’s cuisine, describing it as ‘colourful, full of presentational artistry and precisely composed flavours’ commenting that ‘superlative nibbles and amuses punctuate the whole experience in imaginative style.’

It’s this flourish that makes the dishes sing, as inherently the key ingredients are very simple, allowing their freshness and vitality to take centre stage. Examples from the summer seasonal menu include: Heritage Carrot Smoked eel, fermented garlic, fresh curds Yorkshire Wagyu Beef Radish, yolk, mustard Yorkshire Asparagus Pheasant egg, radish Choose from a six- or a nine-course tasting menu (£70/£95) with optional wine flights.

A vegetarian tasting menu is also an option.

The Burlington is open Tuesday to Sunday 7-9pm. www.thedevonshirearms.co.uk

We offer around 100 different varieties, from espresso blondies to peanut butter layer and millionaire brownies.

What led you to establish Brown and Blond?

I initially considered a career in fine dining, though after a brief apprenticeship – where I experienced first-hand the demanding hours, poor pay and just how long working my way up the ladder would take – it became apparent it was not the path I had envisioned.

My love for baking stemmed from my mother’s bakery club, which she ran when I was a child, and having inherited my grandmother’s 1950s Kenwood Chef at the age of 18, I decided to take the plunge and establish my own bakery from our backyard – later moving to a small kitchen in Harrogate.

76 Northside | www.northsidemagazine.co.uk

It was a long shot, but eight years later, we’ve moved into our third bakery.

Do you plan on trading at food festivals this year or branching out in other ways around the region?

Why brownies (and blondies)?

Yes, our diary is jam-packed, from tiny farmer’s markets right through to The Great York Show, Leeds Food Festival and Chatsworth House Christmas Fayre. You’ll also spot the Brown and Blond pop-up shop across Leeds, from Trinity to The White Rose Centre. Come and say hello. We love meeting customers old and new.

I’ve always loved brownies, as they are a true crowd pleaser, but what made me passionate about developing my own recipes was the overwhelming amount of people who rely on boxed mixes, and consider the results authentic. The ethos behind Brown and Blond is baking from scratch, using the finest ingredients to create an assortment of unique flavours. There’s no greater feeling than sharing my interpretation of the perfect brownie – or blondie.

How has that experience been for you as a new vendor?

We launched our online shop in 2017 and that taught us a few things about the digital world. We adapted our varieties, among other changes, and now offer three different selections: four, ten or 20-piece boxes. We bake all our brownies fresh-to-order, and are considering taking Brown and Blond further afield, on the back of a number of enquiries from America.

Brown and Blond has been great for building a customer fan base and putting my name and product out there, for which I am extremely grateful.

One of Brown and Blond’s trademarks is using the best ingredients, like dark cherry and Tonka bean. Are there other types of flavours you may be trying?

Ninety-nine per cent of our range is already gluten free, as we use ground almonds in place of traditional flour – which is what makes our brownies dense and fudgy – and we recently launched a vegan range, which includes raspberry and dark chocolate, orange and pistachio, peanut butter and banana.

Brown and Blond Unit 7, Upper Wortley Business Park, Leeds, LS12 4WE Tel: 07826 558821 www.brownandblond.co.uk

Creating new and exciting flavours to tickle the tastebuds of brownie and blondie lovers all over the UK is at the heart of Brown & Blond's success.

Using only the finest ingredients coupled with an uncompromising attitude to quality drives young artisan baker, George Welton, and his team forward to deliver over fifty mouthwatering flavour combinations - from Banoffee to Black Forest, Peanut Butter to Praline and Salted Caramel to Stem Ginger!

This small bakery, which started out on a small holding in North Yorkshire in 2010, is now firmly embedded in the heart of Leeds and supplies cafes, restaurants and delicatessens throughout the region and beyond.

Along with pop up shops which have featured locally this year in Trinity Leeds and White Rose Shopping centre, the recent introduction of a new mail order service has added another dimension to the business making Brown & Blond brownies available to a very loyal customer base fifty two weeks of the year.

MEET THE CHEF

PAUL CUNLIFFE OF THE HARROGATE BRASSERIE ON HOW A HUMBLE STEAK AND ALE PIE CHANGED HIS LIFE. aul Cunliffe is head chef at Timothy Taylor’s Harrogate Brasserie. He previously ran The Dunsforth country gastropub and headed up the Harvey Nichols kitchen in Leeds.

P

What inspired you to become a chef?

I was working weekends at a Chinese takeway and I enjoyed the kitchen, so I thought maybe I should give it a go and got a job as a commis in a hotel. I didn’t mind the hours, found I had good skills and I haven’t looked back since… much!

Who are your culinary heroes?

I look up to and follow many chefs, but we just lost such a legend in Anthony Bourdain.

He shed light into the industry, showing all the ‘glamour’ and the deep dark unmentionables of my profession. He always made me think about how to go about tasks, and deal with staff. A lover of good food and friendship, he gave chefs a pat on the back when needed, and maybe a word in the ear when self-importance flares too much. “Hey, it’s only food.”

What are the strengths of Harrogate Brasserie?

The Brasserie is a great venue, we do real honest imaginative cooking backed up by the talent and skills of the staff. It’s relaxed, with live music every evening, Timothy Taylor’s great ales, wines and spirits, and large outdoor area should the British weather let us use it.

With summer here, what are your favourite ingredients to cook with?

The asparagus season has just about wound up, so summer is time for colours, red fruits, heritage tomatoes, young carrots, and seafood is great and plentiful too. The dishes generally get a lot lighter this time of the year Is there one particular dish or style of cooking that best sums you up?

My Yorkshire steak and ale pie is a labour of love, it takes around two days to make. This dish was my lightbulb moment and totally

changed the way I see food and myself as a chef. Previously I had my own place, The Dunsforth, and one day the Michelin guide came and had the pie for main course. I was frustrated that they didn’t choose something that in my eyes would showcase us better, but they awarded us a Michelin Bib Gourmande!

It hit home that no matter what I cook, even a humble pie, I’m going to make sure it’s the best one you have ever eaten.

A whole new look GIVE YOUR KITCHEN OR BEDROOM A MAKEOVER WITH THE HELP OF BUYWELL INTERIORS. ummer has arrived so it's time to brighten up your home and where better to start than with a new fitted kitchen or bedroom from Buywell Interiors, one of the leading fitted kitchen and bedroom specialists in Yorkshire.

Buywell Interiors is an independent, family run business, with a reputation for providing first-rate products and customer service at an excellent and affordable price. Whether you imagine your dream kitchen to be ultra-modern with a gloss finish or more traditional with a painted finish, their Wetherby and Harrogate showrooms are both brimming with inspiration. After a total refurbishment of their new showroom in Harrogate, husband and wife team Simon and Michelle Procter feel the expansion into Harrogate will “complement their existing showroom on Thorp Arch retail estate, Wetherby, whilst offering customers more choice and options to create their dream home.”

Simon and Michelle are proud to promote British products so both showrooms feature the fantastic British manufacturer Kesseler who offer a range of kitchen door styles painted in any Farrow & Ball colour. Also featured are top British ranges Gallery and Linear showcasing on trend handleless units alongside contemporary styles.

S

solutions on display including sink drawers and a plethora of pull-out units, making awkward corners and hard-to-reach places a thing of the past. The theory is that if things are easily accessible then we are more likely to put them back after using them. This means a cleaner, tidier kitchen which, in turn, means more free time for enjoyment and socialising instead of doing the dreaded housework!

‘A new kitchen or bedroom purchase can be a daunting prospect, but Buywell Interiors try to make the whole process as stress-free as possible.’

The British theme continues into the bedroom as Buywell Interiors offer a range of fully made-to-measure, fitted bedroom furniture supplied by British manufacturer Birch Bedrooms. It doesn’t matter if your bedroom is small, an odd shape or has awkward angles you can create a bedroom to suit all your style and storage requirements.

There are plenty of colours and styles to choose from and because everything is made to measure the ultimate dream of “organised clutter” is no longer a dream but a reality.

There are no hard sell tactics making the whole process as stress free as possible. A full project management service is available including 3D planning, a comprehensive site survey and a complete installation package.

As an independent business established over ten years ago, Simon and Michelle offer not only quality British products, but a warm, friendly and down-to-earth approach, putting customer service and satisfaction at the top of their priority list.
