With the weather having taken a turn for the better recently (ok so I am a realist and I know it won't last forever) I like to plan the garden for even more sunny days that hopefully lie ahead! With that in mind, we have put together some truly stunning garden furniture from Garden Furniture of Distinction on page 89 as well as a few of our favourite garden things on page 20, which features some pretty awesome barbecues.

If you're all barbecued out already then you can't beat a bit of chilli in the kitchen and

on page 150 we look at the great big chilli cook off with Lloyd Grossman. Enjoy that chilli meal in front of some super new TV programmes, all of which can be found on page 156, so set that Sky plus box now. Speaking of new programmes, we share an interview with Britain's Got Talent Judges on page 158. They share their thoughts on the new series - will the talent ever end?

pippEd to thE poSt by JamiE olivEr’S ‘FiFtEEN’ The team at the funky and informal, Urban Reef bar & restaurant, have reason to celebrate after coming in as a runner-up in the Coast Awards, ‘Best Seaside Restaurant’ category, second only to Jamie Oliver’s ‘Fifteen’ in Cornwall. The annual Coast Awards, in association with Joules, are now in their 4th year. The awards serve to celebrate innovative and exciting people and places around the British coastline. Readers of Coast Magazine were invited to vote for their favourite choices in all categories. The ‘Best Seaside Restaurant’ category was won by Fifteen. Runners-up

include, Urban Reef and Eddie Gilbert’s in Ramsgate, Kent. Owner of Urban Reef, Mark Cribb, said: “We are delighted with this news. We are passionate about our food, where it comes from, how it’s sourced and of course how it’s served. We are also passionate about service and about working really hard for our customers, so it’s great to have had Urban Reef recognised by a host of industry experts. To have come second to Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen is quite a treat too.”

rECipE For SUCCESSThe first thing that homeowners can do to improve their chances of a successful sale is to choose their estate agent carefully, says Pippa from Berkeleys. “All estate agents are not the same. You need to choose one who’ll give you the very best professional advice. You need to be sure that they will market your home in the most effective way to the widest possible group of potential buyers. And, you need the peace of mind of knowing that your best interests will be protected.” Choose your agent carefully, price your home realistically, and keep it spick and spam – follow these three simple steps, says Pippa, and you will maximise your chances of achieving a successful sale at the best possible price – even in today’s more challenging market.

The market-leading nursery furniture brand from Canada is finally going on sale in the UK – thanks to the passion of a first-time father.

Monte Design’s range of bespoke gliders and other high-end pieces are uber-chic and look at home anywhere in the house. Each piece of hand-crafted furniture can be tailored to suit any interior – from

modern to traditional – to bring luxury and comfort to parents and children alike.

Designers Ralph and Michelle Montemurro founded Monte Design five years ago and created the original modern glider chair to support parents and their young children. Now, CMT Distribution’s Chris Turness – a new father himself - is to begin shipping Monte Design products to the UK for the first time after he couldn’t find children’s furniture that matched Monte Design’s mix of the modern and stylish.

Products to be shipped to the UK include hand-crafted gliders built to customers’ specifications, featuring a range of fabric colours, piping and support pillows. All of Monte Design’s gliders are covered in a soft and durable suede micro fibre fabric that is both water repellent and stain resistant. The chairs have been designed with life outside the nursery in mind as they will fit beautifully into any other room in the home. The range also includes high chairs, kids’ seats and a very cool bassinet to add style from the nursery to the lounge which will be

coming to the UK at a later date. All products are built to order

in Canada by experienced and skilled craftsmen, sewers and woodworkers. Monte Design is committed to sustainability and has taken a number of steps to give peace of mind that any product development has minimal negative effect on the environment – including wood certified by the Forest Stewardship Council and foam manufactured from natural seed-based oils.

Monte Design is critically acclaimed Stateside and among other endorsements, the Grano Glider Recliner was listed as “a glider that has beauty and brains” by Cool Mom Picks, the Luca Glider Chair was featured in an interior design project in big-selling People magazine, and House & Home magazine included the cubino chair in a trendwatch low-down. Celebrity fans of Monte Design include Halle Berry, Amy Poehler, Christina Applegate, Kourtney Kardashian and Sir Elton John to name just a few.

Even the smallest outside space can be made into an oasis of calm, a bolthole where you can unwind after a hard day at work or entertain during the summer evenings.

If you have a small garden, you need to plan carefully to ensure it meets your individual needs, says TV gardening expert Alan Titchmarsh, whose new book, Small Gardens, offers a wealth of tips on how to make the most of even the tiniest plot. "Keep it simple," he advises. "You can make it interesting without it being fussy. Have good clean lines and interesting angles. Consider if it's worth having

a lawn at all. Bear in mind if it's going to be big enough to be able to sit on and to be able to mow. Can you manoeuvre a lawn mower around it and easily dispose of the clippings? If the answer's no to all of this, then go for a different surface, whether it's gravel or paving or decking."

Seating is likely to be the biggest priority, he observes. "Look at your plot to find out where the path of the sun is because the most important thing for most people in the garden is where they're going to sit. Work out the place that will be most convenient, whether you want

to sit in the sun or the shade. You may need your patio to be at the bottom of the garden rather than next to the house. "Always make the seating area bigger than you think you'll need because once you put a table and four chairs out there and you've pulled them out you don't want to be falling over the edge."

"There are ways to make a small garden look bigger," he adds. "Hiding your boundary with plants can increase the sense of space, while placing a small statue at the end of a narrow path will make the distance seem greater because your eyes want to believe the statue

Gardening–Small can be beautiful SayS titchmarSh

BestofthebunchPansy (Viola)Their velvety blooms in a vast range of colours brighten up spring pots and borders, while the smaller violas provide a more subtle burst of colour in late spring and throughout the summer. Pretty varieties include V. 'Jackanapes', which has bicoloured flowers in deep maroon purple and bright yellow

at the base, with purple streaks in the centre, and V. X Wittrockiana in the Ultima Series, which is compact, vigorous and heavy-blooming with medium-sized flowers. They begin to flower in winter and continue through spring, in an exhaustive range of beautiful colours. Pansies, or violas, prefer a sunny site in fertile, well-drained soil.

is life size. Allow yourself some space. Gaps in an enclosed space encourage you to look through them into the space beyond, while looking from an open area into a densely planted one can give a sense of infinity. A blend of open and enclosed spaces will enable you to blur the boundaries of your plot and make your small garden seem more spacious."

Focal points are also important and a few large features are better than many small ones in a small space, says Titchmarsh. "Don't think that because you've got a small garden you can't have anything of stature. Tall plants are fine as long as they're not spreading out too much or shading the garden or filling it with lots of foliage. Tall plants draw your eye up and out into the world beyond and help to link the land with the sky."

Small trees, neat evergreens and shrubs which can be pruned to appear tree-like in outline are perfect structural plants for small gardens. Colour won't need to

be so prevalent in a small plot. You'll need less colour in a smaller garden. What's more important is structure, form and perspective. I like to use evergreens because even in a tiny garden it gives it structure in winter. Highlight the colour by giving it a good green background with foliage. Use colour more sparingly and it can still be effective."

"Just because you have a small garden doesn't mean you always have to go for dwarf plants, he adds. Don't feel that everything has to be squat, or you'll end up with what looks like a tray of scones. Allow yourself one", two or three architectural plants."

Water is also a good design feature to bring into a small garden because the reflective surface anchors the sky and allows light into your garden. The reflective powers of a plain sheet of water are great and you can make a rill (formal canal of water) or a stream in the tiniest of gardens and it's wonderful in bringing light in."

Goodenoughtoeat...GlobE articHokENot only are they delicious when cooked and dipped in vinaigrette, but they also are a stunning structural plant, growing to around 1.5m high with thistle-like arching silvery leaves and ball-like heads, which are removed for cooking. Artichokes need particular conditions to thrive - good soil, regular watering and feeding and frost protection. The best way is to start with offsets, available from nurseries, which are rooted suckers around 25cm long with roots attached. Plant them in a light or loamy, well-drained soil in a sunny, sheltered position in rows 90cm (3ft) apart and allowing 90cm (3ft) between the

plants. Compost or well-rotted manure should have been added to the soil the previous autumn and then add a general purpose fertiliser a week or two before planting.Keep the plants well watered, especially during dry periods in the summer, and apply a mulch around the stems in May. Don't harvest the artichokes the first year. Cut off the small heads which may develop in the first year to allow the plant to build up strength to produce a better harvest the following year. The main head at the end of the stems and a number of smaller heads on lateral shoots can be harvested around August, before the flower heads have opened.

SpringJobs...wHat to do tHis FortniGHt?

• Add a general fertiliser such as blood, fish & bone to your borders, rake it in and then mulch it with compost or bark.

• Prune spring-flowering shrubs which are fading, such as forsythia.

• plant summer-flowering bulbs & prick out seedlings & pot them on.

• Keep transplanted flowers well watered during dry spells..

• Repot container plants which have outgrown their space into larger pots with fresh compost.

• Save moisture by putting saucers under containers.

• Put brassica collars around cabbages and cauliflowers to deter cabbage root fly.

• Erect low screens around carrots to keep carrot fly at bay.

• Ventilate the greenhouse on sunny days to stop the build-up of pests and diseases.

• Prune plum trees.

• Deadhead naturalised bulbs to keep them healthy.

Specialist Letting Agents, Realty Property Solutions Ltd, are delighted to announce they have had a record March for agreeing lets with 85% of new instructions being let within 48 hours. Realty Director Jonathan Alsford states; “the demand we are currently receiving from prospective tenants is so high that when we receive a new instruction there is often a waiting list of tenants to choose from. Young couples and individuals have largely created this by not being able to purchase and turning to rented accommodation in order to gain some independence as well as some flexibility to be able to move for work purposes if required. As we are specialists at what we do, coupled with our track record of excellent customer service since 2004, we are becoming a popular choice for both Landlords and Tenants. We would love to hear from any property owner considering letting their property as there has never been a

Think ouTside The vaseEven if you haven't got green fingers, you can easily enjoy beautiful blooms by picking a bunch of the best flower-decorated fabrics, wallpapers and homeware. Choose from overblown florals, Eastern blossom and pretty prints, or just pick a petal or two!

Florals might be a perennial favourite for bringing colour and freshness to interiors, but don't assume you've seen it all before when it comes to this blooming style. There are always tempting new interpretations being explored by designers and this year is no exception. But remember our fondness for florals endures precisely because they never fail to give rooms a zingy lift, with their decorative evocation of nature. Even treating a home to a simple scattering of flowery printed accessories - a cushion here and a throw there - will lift the spirits, especially at a time when we're all craving signs that spring has truly arrived.

"Floral designs have always been an integral part of the British interior, from the rich tapestries of the medieval nobility to today's pared-down patterns by designers such as Orla Kiely," says Lawrence Roullier White, founder of the interiors company of the same name.

"It's the stylised manner in which they are depicted that changes with the mood of the time. You only have to look at the austerity of

floral designs in the 1940s and the subsequent over-blown blooms of the Fifties to chart this change."

He predicts that flower designs from previous decades are bursting onto the scene again: "Art Nouveau floral imagery from the 1900s became popular again in the 1970s, cladding many a Biba-babe, and even that 'no-no' of generic deigns - chintz - had new life breathed into it by Cath Kidston," he points out.

"Now we're feeling more confident and optimistic, powerful Rococo designs with large, rich blooms are making a resurgence."

Clare Price, founder of interiors specialist, The Contemporary Home, shares her view that florals never fade but acknowledges that for some, they're still an acquired taste, partly because they're wrongly associated with dated, fussy interiors. "You either love florals or hate them, but be prepared to be surrounded by them this year!" she predicts. "They endure because of their versatility, and their ability to conjure memories of childhood and a rose-

tinted recollection of perfect country gardens."I think tiny, ditzy prints are proving more

popular because they're easier to mix with existing items in the home." So think beyond the vase - there's enough flowery, decorative homeware around for a dazzling bouquet - without having to raid the garden.

Modern florals > This look works equally well for fans of romantic, feminine rooms as it does for those wishing to use colour and pattern to soften cool, contemporary settings.

"Today's take on florals is all about creating a floral paradise which is both chic and modern," advises Anita Kaushal, stylist and interiors author. "So instead of opting for predictable pastel shades, consider bolder fuschias, bright greens and blues. Use a dramatic replication of one striking bloom in a fabric or a wall print, or feel free to contrast florals with other patterns such as bold stripes." It's vital, she says, to allow the patterns to breathe by contrasting them with pale or neutral backgrounds, and to ensure a scheme has cohesion by picking out a few key shades in plain accessories, or other touches like a blind or curtains.

Pretty posy> A veritable meadow full of blooms blossom on a crisp, white background to decorate Marks & Spencer's desirable Fashion Vintage Floral home collection. Bed Set, £49.50; Hat Boxes, £29.50 a pair, and Cushion, £15.

Dunelm Mill's Orchid Fushion Cameo Quilt Set, from £24.99, uses one exotic pink bloom to great effect, and its simple style could be complemented, at a price, with a Moooi 5 O'Clock Chair decorated with two roses, £547.67, from Occa-Home. Make a statement with John Lewis's compact Prism Sofa, £1,200, upholstered in a floral scattered Kiana fabric.

Funky florals> Bright, zingy colours and abstract designs are a world away from the tranquil pastoral scenes of yesterday, but they're serving to make funky florals a

sought after style fit for on-trend decoristas. "A floral design is perfect for adding an injection of colour and fun to an otherwise fashionably neutral interior," says Lawrence Roullier White. "Ideally, keep the scheme quite clean and plump for one statement piece, like an armchair or table, bursting with colour. "As a general rule, if you want subtle, select a pattern with a small repeat, but if you want drama, the bigger the better. It doesn't even matter if the repeat is too big for the application. A cushion with the design 'bleeding' off the edge looks fantastic."

Bright bunch: A bright yellow Edge Coffee Table, £350, or a multi-coloured Pouffe Cushion, £500, both decorated with a blizzard of blooms couldn't fail to lift the spirits. They're from cutting edge interiors company, Brighton Pod. Bring a psychedelic garden scene into the bedroom with Bhs Vintage Garden Bedding, which starts from £24.50, and open the door to style with this Doormat, £5.99, from Dunelm Mill, which has funky flowers on a black background. Harlequin's fabrics collection has an abundance of florals which can be paired with its other patterns such as stripes for a fun, flirty take on the look. Fabrics from around £30 a square metre.

traditional floral> Classic florals, whether conjuring a country retreat or those complementing period style, have long reigned supreme, but even they've been given a facelift to suit 21st century homes. "The traditional mid-sized floral chintz is shaking off its image and has been replaced with new flower prints, which at the moment are either small and intricate or large statements," says designer Joanna Wood. "Big, statement florals work well in sophisticated areas such as living rooms, dining rooms and master bedrooms. Choose where you want to create a statement within the room carefully, and select the fabric sparingly on one highlight area - a large three seater sofa, a feature wall or a pair of curtains.

"Prints are highly effective in strong colours, with orange, bold spring greens and pistachio

featuring this year." She advises flower-sprigged, smaller scale prints for smaller, cosy areas and children's rooms. "Colours can be traditional - greens, pinks and sky blues - but modernise the look by mixing the same print in several colourways within a scheme."

Elegant bouquet> Get the look with floral wallpapers. Companies such as Graham & Brown have an excellent selection and one of its prettiest is Duchessa, in pink and lime, from its Elixir collection, £25.

Little Greene has Sandberg wallpapers which celebrate florals and a dramatic choice is its Christophe paper, £61 a roll, with red flowers on a black background. Scatter some cushions in a rich floral print, £89 each, from John Dick & Son and add the ultimate floral accessory for a manor house or country cottage - floral decorated china. Portmeirion's collection includes the Dawn Chorus range. Teapot and Cake Stand, £26.50 each.

BLINDSQUALITY & SERVICE BEYOND YOUR EXPECTATIONS

When your prince or princess charming drags you kicking and screaming to your local bed store, bored with the spring of your ancient bed poking in their side, you will be faced with lots of choices, one of which is the size of bed or mattress that you buy. Queen size, king size, super-king size and even emperor sizes are terms which face you with more options than the queen has residences!

When one purchases a new nest for ones palace boudoir it is a good idea to trade up to a larger bed if it will fit the room. A larger one will obviously give the individual more space to stretch out, be less affected by the movements and weight of their partner and indeed with the larger products, there may well be an option to have one side firmer than the other to combat any weight differences between bed mates.

Jargon aside, the standard sizes available and which will fit standard sheet and duvet sizes are, single, which is 90cm X 190cm, double, which is 135cm X 190cm (the original double, but do you really want to be restricted to 67.5 cm of space? That’s about two feet three inches in imperial size!) King-size this is 150cm X 200cm and super-king size which is 180cm X 200cm. The super-king is getting increasingly popular as people holiday abroad, particularly in the United States and realize the benefits of a large comfy bed.

If you really want to push the royal yacht out, we can have special size beds specially made for you up to seven feet square and standard width beds made longer for very tall customers. Also, bear in mind that if you order a bedstead, which is typically a head and foot board supported by side rails and slats, the external measurement will larger than those stated above as the mattress is designed to fit inside it, so allow for this when you measure.

Another factor when you purchase and which might affect your decision, is access to your stately home or palace bedroom. You would be surprised how often we deliver to a property and discover that we can’t get the new bed or mattress up the stairs or that the client has forgotten to tell us that they have a spiral staircase or some other access problem. The minimum space between your stair-well and the nearest step is a good point to measure. The good news is that all double divans are made in two pieces and bedstead bases usually arrive in several sections too. Allied to the fact that mattresses will bend to a degree without harming them, we can usually deliver without many problems.

Lastly, if you need a mattress made to fit a base of an unusual size or shape this is also possible, we have even arranged for mattresses to be made to fit the bow of boats and to fit four-poster beds with cut-out corners, so feel free to ask, we love a challenge.

So, picture the scene. You, your other half and the corgis are sitting in your new bed watching the royal wedding. I’m sure you will join me in wishing Prince William and Kate Middleton a long and happy marriage. I’m sure that one day William will make a “super king”!

As ever sleep well!!

As we sailed away from the narrow streets of Old Portsmouth where press gangs roamed in Nelson's day, my wife and I were already studying the leaflets and maps which you collect on the ferry across the Solent. On the Isle of Wight, there's always something new to see: another multi-million pound facelift at impressive Osborne House (Queen Victoria's favourite home), a new waterfront pub, or yet another exhibition with tales of dinosaurs and Roman invaders. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed the garlic farm in Newchurch would need overflow car parks at weekends, let alone self-catering cottages for visitors keen to stay and sample the 42 pickles and relishes on display!

With careful planning, you won't need much cash to see this island. Many visitors explore its 148 square miles by bus, and there are 500 miles of footpaths for walkers and cyclists, often with amazing views across vast open spaces. National Trust guided walks are also led by experts.

The tourist season offers a long programme of special events. The Walking Festival in early May focuses on 30 miles of Heritage coast and areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty which make up more than half the island. When you need rest and refreshment, pubs almost fight

for your business. "Credit munch!" said one of them, promising two courses for £3.95, near Carisbrooke Castle, where they held Charles I just before he lost his head in Whitehall.

English Heritage's film in Carisbrooke's Visitor Centre is a masterpiece in making history interesting to any who missed out on the subject at school. In the middle of Ryde, you can land by catamaran at The Pier, walk up the main Union Street and check into one of the apartments which enterprising Annie Horne, an entrepreneur whose main job is running an events management company, has created in an old bank building above Liberty's, a cafe-bar on the ground floor. Ryde is a magnet for day trippers from the mainland who love an olde world high street free of superstores and giant car parks, so Annie swiftly added a restaurant - The Blacksheep Bar - across the street, with tasty main courses from around a tenner.

One of Liberty's daily specials - a slice of warm ciabatta packed with smoked sausage, red onion and mayonnaise, served with skinny chips and salad - put us in the perfect mood for one of Ryde's newest attractions. The Postcard Museum is the brainchild of James Bissell-Thomas, and tucked with some brilliance into the back half of a former shop. Dedicated to the artist Donald McGill, the master of the double entendre, it's a splendid selection of saucy postcards featuring nervous brides and randy vicars which sold in British seaside resorts in the 1950s. Cannily, James acquired the copyright of dozens of McGill

originals. They are huge fun, because some standard characters are much too politically incorrect to be acceptable in today's more 'liberal' climate.

As a town, Ryde has a stylish, cosmopolitan feel and could become really fashionable in the next decade. Head west on the island, however, and there's a different atmosphere: remote, unspoiled, slower paced. That's where we found our holiday base, the West Bay Club: with holiday cottages surrounded by walkways, weeping willows and open lawns. It's just outside the charming port of Yarmouth, where narrow streets fill with traffic when ferries pull in from Lymington.

West Bay Club is good for families. There's good security within a gated environment, so children roam without supervision, and excellent leisure facilities with a large indoor pool adjoining the restaurant as the centre of attraction from 7am to 10pm, so bad weather needn't spoil your stay.

There are squash courts, an ESPA spa, scuba diving courses, and - like a cruise ship - daily programmes of entertainments and instruction. There's a tennis coach on hand, with tips to improve your shots on fast and true hard court surfaces.

Although the cottages might not look too good - 'eco-efficient' lawns as roofs are not the smartest 'green' design - they are clean and virtually brand new inside, with well-equipped kitchens and a welcome pack in the fridge. At this end of the island, you're barely aware of other visitors - even in midsummer.

On our first night, we only found the restaurant sitting on stilts above the beach at one end of wide, curving Totland Bay with the help of a local showing us the way.

As Pinot Grigiot washed down a delectably fresh crab salad, we listened to familiar chords on the classical guitar. A vivid sunset painted a reddish glow across the waves and suggested a quiet, romantic corner on the Algarve coast of Portugal. "Actually, that's Boscombe across the water," said the waiter. Our meal for four, with wine included, came to just over £60.

Next morning, it was time to tackle a breezy stretch of the Tennyson Trail - the famous poet who became the Poet Laureate lived here for 40 years, because he reckoned the air was "worth sixpence a pint". Before the final stretch towards The Needles, it was time to drop in for a snack at Dimbola Lodge, above Freshwater Bay, where toasted tea cakes are a delight. This old house, rescued and refurbished in the last decade, tells the story of Julia Margaret Cameron, one of the early photographers of Victorian England, whose regular guests included the Lord Tennyson, Charles Darwin, Lewis Carroll, and Edward Lear. Goodness knows what these august visitors might have made of the photographs taken during the epic 1970 Isle of Wight Pop Festival, when the audience allowed a lot to hang out. They formed an eye-popping special display when we called. At this historic event, The Who played from midnight to dawn, and Jimi Hendrix gave one of his great

performances - weeks before his death. A bronze statue in the garden of Dimbola Lodge commemorates the guitarist for posterity.

Next day, we headed for Ventnor, where the subtropical climate enables yuccas and other plants to flourish in the celebrated Botanic Gardens (admission free). We walked down to Steephill Cove, where maritime shacks and fishing boats encircle a play area which has become a magnet for families, before strolling along the clifftops and beyond the wide sandy beach of Ventnor to the tiny hamlet of Bonchurch around the bay. If you venture east of Ryde, you will find the atmosphere changes yet again.

Splendid houses are dotted along the seafont, and six miles of sandy beaches stretch from Ryde pier to Seaview, famous for sailing and often called 'Chelsea by the Sea'.Beyond the village is the Priory Bay Hotel, which looks and feels like a country house owned by the same family for generations - and elegantly dog-eared around the edges.

In summer, a barbecue area serves lunches on a wooded terrace above the hotel's private beach, edged by trees and enjoying magnificent views across the eastern Solent. On a sunny, summer day, this setting compares with the South of France - or even Barbados. No wonder Queen Victoria lined up her bathing machine to make the most of it, a mile or two along the shore!

kitchen GadGetsAt almost any point during a single day you can flick on your television and find a cookery programme beckoning you to join in.

Mid-afternoons and early evenings seem to be favourite airing times. But are these well-placed slots there to make you feel inadequate after you've just eaten, or are they intended to inspire you to don your chef's hat and enter the kitchen?

The chefs on the shows always seem to have plenty of fancy equipment to hand - items we mere mortals haven't the money for, nor the space to store it. So we've gathered an eclectic collection of gadgets for the kitchen that will certainly impress and perhaps even offer the illusion to your guests that you're a professional.

Worktop Art Joseph Joseph elevate Gift set £39.99 from www.firebox.comIt is time to get rid of your mismatching utensil arsenal and invest in this colour-coded set of essential cooking tools. The utensils feature weighted handles to allow the business ends of the spoons and spatulas to sit above the work surface, creating a more hygienic and less messy method of cooking.

hot to hAndlepixel oven Gloves£12.95 from www.play.com

These gloves are extremely geeky but in a very PC-chic kind of way, we think you'll agree. Paying homage to the retro technology that is 8-bit, these padded oven gloves will assist you when you're reorganising the roasting dishes in the oven. However, they aren't any use when you're at the keyboard!

clever MeAsure MaxiM 2-in-1 JuG & scales£19.99 from www.mydeco.com

The "chuck it in and don't check" approach may be fine if you've delivered a certain dish many times previously, but if you need to be a little more exact for a delicate operation then exact ingredient amounts are vital. This space-saver measures and weighs, meaning you no longer need to go hunting for those scales and measuring jugs at the back of the cupboard - this one can always be at hand.

eye protection unitonion Glasses £13.99 from www.lazyboneuk.comWe're unable to decide whether these are an over-reaction to the problem that can debilitate some people as they carry out preparation of the evil onion, or if they represent a long overdue line of defence. However, methods to help stem the flow of tears, such as peeling onions under water or with a piece of dry bread hanging out of your mouth, make this piece of eyewear look less daft now, right? chop chop no drop

Joseph Joseph chop 2 pot£11.99 from www.firebox.com

Another excellent innovation that's head-slappingly simple from Joseph Joseph. Can you recount the number of times you've sliced your vegetables and while transferring them to the boiling pot, some of them have hit the deck? Using this device makes the task simpler, just complete the slicing and dicing, then squeeze the handle to form a tube and pour in.

sAuces perfectedstirr autoMatic£16.99 from www.lazyboneuk.com

Without question the single most laborious task in the kitchen is keeping the contents of a saucepan under constant stir supervision. If you leave the contents static for too long, you'll have to begin again, so take the strain away with this third hand. Set it to one of three speeds and place it inside your sauce, custard or beans and get on with something else. 77

What are the colour pattern trends for this spring summer and how can I accessorise my home with colours and patterns without having to spend more money on changing them when it starts getting colder and darker? As you probably already know, what you need to do is invest in fabrics and colours that have longevity. You need to look at the trends that are hitting us now which are both vibrant and uplifting but also with the right hues in them which will last beyond just these warm seasons.If you’re looking for cushions, then massive pattern trends this season which would also work well in the darker months are the folkloric prints which are so energetic, naive and colourful. You can find these fresh, mesmerising patterns and textures in the new Harlequin Anoushka collection. See www.harlequin.uk.com for the full range. Equally try their Olena Romanie range with their colourful circles and fantastic warm blues- a great base colour. There aren’t any floral/seasonal giveaways within the pattern with this fabric so perfect for stretching out throughout the cooler months.

You can also do the same with duvet covers, as they are again a great major accessory that can be interchanged as often as you want to, and the good news is that you can do this on any budget. Take a trip down to BHS and House of Fraser where they are stocking brands by renowned textile Designer Susan Collier and Sarah Campbell. Also fashion designers Julian Macdonald ( Star by Julian Macdonald) Mathew Williamson ( Butterfly by Mathew Williamson ) and Biba. In these ranges you’ll find gorgeous Moroccan prints for all year long and funky patterns with vivid colours – perfect.Other major trends for this season and next include: 50’s patterns- find exquisite fabrics, wallpapers, beautifully embroidered and in classic 50’s colour pallets- very retro. See www.sanderson-uk.com. Spiro graph styled bed-linen; zesty, funky lines- see hof.com. Basically, this season: anything goes… as long as it’s bold and vibrant. Include into that mix, anything to do with Animal stripes, Trees and Tribal.

OutdOOr lOunge

With Summer just around the corner and a plethora of bank holidays on the horizon allowing you to spend plenty of time outside in your garden, furniture experts Garden Furniture of Distinction, take us through some of the finest examples of stylish outdoor furniture currently around.

Outdoor furniture trends are really embracing the ‘taking the indoors out’ mentality & the creation of an outdoor lounge is now part of the norm. Long gone are the white plastic chairs of yonder, instead replaced by stylish, weather resistant designs that look like they could be part of the lounge or indoor dining area. The combination of innovative design and pioneering cushion technology mean outdoor lounge products can now be left outside all year round and in all weathers without any need to cover or protect.

Stainless steel and aluminium furniture are the modern choice for those seeking practicality, style and comfort. Two grades of stainless steel; 316 grade, commonly known as ‘marine grade’ and 304 grade, more commonly used for garden furniture. Both 316 and 304 are hardwearing and suitable for use in inland locations whilst 316 is for use in coastal areas, marine and heavily chlorinated environments.

Textilene is woven from a PVC coated polyester, non-stretch yarn, which is strong and mildew resistant. Textilene is used for the fabric slings on teak, stainless steel and aluminium furniture to incorporate colour, comfort and weather resistance.

The use of luxury cushions add that personal touch to your furniture. The options featured here use a Sunbrella fabric which is made from 100% solution dyed acrylic fibre that is colourfast and resistant to mildew. Cushions are available in a range of outstanding solid colours and stripes.

Woven furniture retains the classic style of traditional wicker pieces, but with the added benefit of complete weather resistance. In addition, because every piece is hand-woven, each item is completely unique.

One of the most traditional choices for outdoor furniture is teak – with time, teak acquires a silver grey patina that complements any outdoor setting. Our manufucturers use only the highest quality of teakwood from the most reputable sources – teak is a dense, close-grained hardwood with a high resistance to rotting and is almost impervious to the effects of sun, rain, frost or snow, which has made it the first choice for outdoor use.

Q. We own a small hotel, we are really struggling at the moment and want to get out before we lose too much money. Nobody wants to buy a hotel this small and we cannot afford to refurbish it. Can we turn the hotel back to a large family house, or convert it to flats? A. Sadly yours is not an uncommon situation. A change of use from a hotel to a residential use always requires planning consent even if the building was a dwelling for many years before. Some bed and breakfast establishments may avoid it if they remained predominantly residential.

Many Council’s, particularly those with a tourism industry wish to protect their hotel stock and have planning policies which resist the loss of tourism accommodation. In such areas they will not usually grant planning permission for a change of use from hotel to a residential dwelling without a comprehensive justification. In Poole there is a blanket policy across the Borough. In Bournemouth the policy applies to three specific areas on the West Cliff, East Cliff and Town Centre. Outside of the main tourism areas of Bournemouth such a change of use is often acceptable in principle at the present time. But be warned - planning policy changes and Bournemouth is likely to adopt a Borough-wide policy within the next 12 months.

If you are caught by such a policy then unfortunately you have a battle on your hands! It may be possible to get around the policy by demonstrating that the hotel is not viable but this must be done very thoroughly to persuade the Council. Another option which we have had considerable success with is looking for a solution which retains some tourism accommodation on the site – typically in the form of self contained holiday apartments – but then frees up part of the site or building for new open market residential flats or houses.

As the first residents to move into the exclusive White Oaks development in Ferndown, the Caballero family are absolutely delighted with their new three-storey, four-bedroom house, not to mention the pre and after sales care they have received from Bloor Homes.

Mrs Caballero said, “We’ve experienced a consistently great pre and after sales service.

If you say ‘I think this needs doing’, it’s addressed as a matter of urgency. They really get to know you and find out how they can make life easier.”

With two young children, Olivia (aged 8) and Gabby (aged 6), and a full-time job working as a sister at Royal Bournemouth Hospital, there are not very many hours in the day for Mrs Caballero. “We were so lucky to experience a stress-free move – one without the turmoil of selling and feeling in a constant state of flux,” said Mrs Caballero. “Claire from Bloor Homes has been fabulous – she has gone out of her way to help us, and she really couldn’t have been nicer. She made

all the difficulties disappear. We moved in just six weeks – my feet haven’t touched the ground!” Having lived in the area for almost 20 years, the Caballero family were keen to find somewhere local.

“We were running short on space – it literally felt like the walls were closing in,” said Mrs Caballero. “I drive down Ringwood Road every day and when I noticed that Bloor Homes were building a new development, I popped in.”

Just a few weeks later, Mrs Caballero returned to White Oaks with her husband for the launch weekend on 22nd and 23rd January this year. “Claire let us imagine what it would be like to live here. She said, ‘Have it how you want it,’” said Mrs Caballero. “I thought: this is the house for us. The middle floor is ideal as a ‘kid zone’, while the spare

room at the top of the house is perfect for my husband’s home cinema plans. The large kitchen, conservatory and master ensuite bedroom allow plenty of space for me too! With the kids growing up, it’s a house we can really grow into.”

Mr and Mrs Caballero returned home to list the pros and cons of making their move with Bloor Homes. “What I really liked was the spacious feeling in the rooms and the flow of the house – everything is so well designed. The furnishings and amount of natural light are really special. Luxury fittings and fixtures like the big, wide skirting boards are a really nice touch,” said Mrs Caballero. “But when we did the number crunching, we realised we really couldn’t afford the stamp duty. The banks were so reluctant to lend us more – even though we could show that we could pay it

back. When we called Claire to tell her the bad news, she said, ‘Okay – how about we offer a part exchange on your current home and we pay your stamp duty?’ I arrived at White Oaks ten minutes later with a cheque for the deposit!” said Mrs Caballero.

But the good news didn’t stop there. “Claire also arranged for us to have the flooring and curtains completely free of charge. She helped us adapt the house for our eldest daughter who is disabled by installing a handrail on the staircase. She also sorted out a great local solicitor who she’d vetted called Judith Pullen at Buchanan & Llewellyn.” She added, “The other houses we looked at just weren’t right – I would’ve been heartbroken if we hadn’t been able to move into White Oaks. It feels like fate. I watched the bricks go up!” Now, Mrs Caballero is looking forward to meeting her new neighbours. “This development is perfect for people of all ages, from professionals to growing families and anyone looking to downsize. In the meantime, Claire continues to be a great help to us. In fact, we help each other. My girls water the gardens of the other houses at White Oaks. It’s a really nice relationship!”

Don’t miss out on your chance to move into this exclusive development of just ten, 2, 3 and 4-bedroom family homes in Ferndown.

Visit the showhome and sales centre at White Oaks, Ringwood Road, Ferndown, Dorset, BH22 9AH open daily between 10am and 5pm. For more information, call Claire on 0843 315 9488 or visit www.bloorhomes.com today.

Top kiTchen Trends for 2011First Class Kitchens of Ferndown take us through a few of the top kitchen trends for this year, helping you to keep your finger well and truly on the interior design pulse.

–trend#2

White–

–trend#1

Black–

–trend#3 islands

–

–trend#4shaker

–

Trend #1_Black. Not for the fainthearted, but most certainly one for the super-stylish crowd. Black epitomises design savvy and offers a sleek, sexy ambience for the hub of the contemporary home.

Trend #2_White. White is one of the most popular choices of colours for kitchen units. White allows the surrounding decor of the kitchen to be changed without problem and using gloss units heightens the feeling of space because they bounce light across the room. To add warmth to a white kitchen, team with a wood worktop. Wrapover worktops like the one shown in this picture are a very stylish ‘of the moment’ option.

Trend #3_Islands. If you have the space for it, then a kitchen island is a must. They provide additional workspace & storage but can also double up as a breakfast bar making the kitchen even more of a sociable family space.

Trend #4_Shaker. A safe, yet fashionable choice. The shaker kitchen has long been a favourite amongst many, and it still continues to stand the test of time. A good choice for anyone not wanting to have to even think about updating their kitchen for many years.

It may be the beginning of April but Toyota's latest offer is no joke and the manufacturer is giving Yaris customers six months free fuel to get their new cars off to a flying start.

The offer, which applies to any new Yaris ordered between April 1 and April 30 and registered before June 30 is worth more than £500 at the pumps. That's enough to cover roughly around 5,000 miles in the 1.0-litre VVT-i petrol model which returns an official 55.4mpg combined cycle fuel economy.

New Yaris customers will receive a personal, pre-paid card to the value of £548.15 which

can be used with a PIN number to pay for fuel at any UK retailer.

Once all the money has been spent, the card can simply be discarded. "With the highest petrol and diesel prices we've seen for years, it's the perfect time for Toyota to take the initiative and give our customers a benefit that's of real value," said Toyota Commercial Director, Matt Harrison.

The offer does not apply to Motability vehicles and certain fleet purchases.

Tesco are ignoring traditional supermarket retailing and branching out into the second-hand car market with an internet only service for used car buyers.

The website - Tescocars.com advertises up to 3,000 cars a week sourced from hire and lease fleets and will reward shoppers with 2,000 Tesco Clubcard points if they buy a vehicle through the site. It aims to offer good deals by supplying car stock direct from the source and claims each car will go through a 167 point independent inspection by the RAC, including a ramp inspection and road test.

The move comes after Tesco bought a significant minority stake in online dealership Carsite for an undisclosed sum.

The group said it wants to offer a trusted and convenient second hand car service, with a seven-day, money-back guarantee if buyers are unhappy with their purchase. Andrew Higginson chief executive of retailing services at Tesco said: "By supplying directly to customers, there is no middle man and no expensive showroom and no salespeople on commission.

Family timE iN thE Car With the bank holiday season upon us a campaign has been launched to bring back quality family time in the car. This comes after a recent poll commissioned by Saab GB revealed that travelling as a family in the car remains the most popular mode of transport. The results showed that parents aren't taking advantage of this fantastic opportunity to engage with their children. The survey indicated that more than 40 per cent of parents are planning on taking a long car journey with their family this Easter, but that almost three quarters do not look forward to such journeys. The top irritation was kids moaning about the length of the journey and that they are bored. Other niggles to parents were children fighting and asking for treats throughout the whole journey.

Many children are left to entertain themselves in the car with two thirds playing computer games or watching movies to pass the time. Around 40 per cent of parents said that they wouldn't consider going on a long car journey with their children without the aid of technology to keep them entertained and 62 per cent agreed that technology makes journeys with children much easier. "Technology has undoubtedly made keeping our children entertained in the car a lot easier, however it seems a genuine shame that we are not making more of this time together", said Charles Toosey Managing Director at Saab GB.

"Families lead such hectic lives these days that travelling in the car is one occasion when we can really spend quality time with each other. We want to set the challenge to parents this Easter to ditch digital and rediscover the more traditional forms of entertainment when travelling as a family," he added.

The research highlighted that 40 per cent of parents would like to spend more time interacting with their children in the car, with the average parent currently spending only one third of their time in the car talking to or playing games with their children.

This stands in stark contrast to their memories of childhood car journeys with respondents indicating that almost 50 per cent of this time was spent playing car games with their parents and two thirds rating 'I Spy' as their favourite and most regularly played game.

Located in beautiful Dorset and within easy

reach of Devon, Cornwall, the Isle of Wight and

France, Summer Bays provide the starting point

to a truly memorable holiday.

Our VW camper vans will transport you back to

an era when the journey was as enjoyable as the

destination. In a Summer Bays Campervan, your

holiday starts, the moment you turn the key.–

WEEKENDHIRE FROMONLY £250

–THAT’S JUST £62.50

A DAYFRIDAY

MONDAY

I love weekends away. Normally it’s a nice hotel in London with all the creature comforts or a spa break, however this weekend we were given a 1978 VW Camper van courtesy of Summer Bays Classic VW Camper Hire based In Dorset.

They can deliver the camper to your home so your holiday can start the moment you turn the key and with prices starting from £62.50 per day to hire, it’s a cheap and exciting way to spend your weekend. Whether you are a thrill seeking adventurer or need to take a ride in the slow lane, to do your own thing, in your own time, then this is definitely the holiday for you.

With the camper’s fridge stocked with beer and food we set off from Bournemouth to our first stop which was around an hours drive away in a forest near Chard in Somerset, I found the camper was great fun to drive with its huge steering wheel that you end up using as an arm rest, it also had a great sound system so with our ipods docked we cruised to Chard for our first night under the stars.

We arrived at our campsite which is in the middle of a forest, and making our way through the trees we found the perfect spot,

the campsite we chose encouraged you to have campfires and supplied us with a fire pit and fire wood, our camper had a gas hob with 2 rings so in no time we were enjoying dinner and a few beers sat around the campfire in the middle of the forest under the stars listening to the Doors - brilliant!

Our first night in the van was extremely comfortable, the seats turn into a double bed and the central heating system kept us very warm, with us only waking up to the occasional hoot hoot from an owl. The next morning we whipped up a nice full english breakfast before the next leg of our journey to Bude in Cornwall.

Again the drive to Bude was a pleasure only taking a few hours, the sun was shining and the roads were clear. Our campsite was on top of a huge cliff with views over the atlantic and the sounds of the massive waves crashing onto the beach below we knew we had picked the right place to go. We went for a great walk along the cliff path and down into Bude for some well earned lunch.

The great thing about the VW Camper is that you can just pull up somewhere put

the handbrake on, plug it into the electric

and that’s it, you’re ready to go. There is no

messing around with putting up tents and all

that nonsense, you get to enjoy the best bits of

camping with all the mod coms like, heating,

sink, fridge, cooker, lights and comfy bed. It’s

not something I thought I would ever do, but it

was a totally amazing weekend, that we got to

tailor make to our own preference, something

you can’t do so much with a hotel break. You

get a great sense of adventure in a camper van,

you can go where you want, when you want,

the camper even sleeps six people so it’s great

for a family break or just you and your partner

and Summer Bays camper hire are the cheapest

in the south. So why don’t you try something

different this summer, you will love it.

I’m sure, like me, many of you would like to come up with that brilliant business idea that’s going to make you rich. So I was really excited to interview Reggie Reggie Sauce maker, and the now multi-millionaire businessman, Levi Roots on my show last week.

His is no ordinary story. It all began in January 2007 when Levi appeared on TV show Dragons’ Den where he famously sang about the virtues of his Reggae Reggae Sauce and became, without doubt, one of the most famous participants on the show.

For many years Levi and his family made the sauce to sell at the Notting Hill Carnival, now his sauces and products are stocked in most major food retail chains. He has teamed up with Domino’s Pizza chain, Birds Eye, and also has a range of snacks and chilled products, all after two of the Dragons’ Den entrepreneurs, Peter Jones and Richard Farleigh, invested in the project. The business is now worth in the region of 36 million quid, not bad for a man who started making the sauce in his kitchen.

After the interview I started thinking about all the other Dragons’ Den contestants, some more successful than others. Two of the Dragons have made a good whack from backing Levi, however were their other decisions always so accurate?

It seems that the five tycoons made a serious mistake when they gave hairdresser Shaun Pulfrey the brush-off. He was told that his ‘Tangle Teezer’, a hairbrush designed to smooth knotted hair - ‘was not a business'. Little did they know that it would become a hair-phenomenon, stocked by Boots, asos.com and a number of major hairdresser chains across the country?

Receiving one of the harshest interrogations the show has seen, Rachel Lowe MBE took her ‘Destination London’ board game to the investors on Dragons’ Den, but went home empty handed. The Destination brand now comprises 21 editions including ones for Portsmouth, Southampton and the Isle of Wight, as well as a Harry Potter version, Destination Hogwarts and a Disney Pixar edition; Destination Animation and Rachel has also received recognition from Buckingham Palace gaining her a MBE.

When budding-entrepreneur Rob Law appeared on the hit show – he presented his Trunki suitcase for children invention. The wheelie suitcase doubles up as a ride-on toy, so that tired children can sit on the suitcase and be pulled along by their parents at airports.

The then 29-year-old designer asked the Dragons to invest £100,000 in return for 10pc of his company - valuing the firm at £1m. Peter Jones, said: "You think you have something. I tell you, you don't. Within seven days I could do a better job than that. Your company is currently worthless."

However, it would appear Mr Law is enjoying the last laugh as the Trunki became the ultimate travel-must have – I for one tripped over loads the last time I went through the airport! Mr Law’s product is now stocked in a number of major retailers and now exports to 62 countries.

It is really inspiring that Rachel Lowe, Shaun Pulfrey and Rob Law had the strength of character to pursue their dream despite being publically humiliated by the Dragons on national TV! And maybe all of us have the potential for a big business idea in us somewhere.

It’s been a busy spring for the directors and stylists at HNB hair salon in Canford Cliffs. Their own range of ‘Salon Confidential’ hair extensions have received great success seeing them now stocked in River Island, Dorothy Perkins, New Look, Claires Accessories in the UK and Europe and on the growing online department store Very.co.uk. Salon Confidential have remained in the top sellers since Christmas, coming out in the top 10 products over the Christmas period which is a huge success for local entrepreneur Stephanie Stevenson. “I’m now working on our makeup and electrical range which launch in mid-summer and you will be at long last be able to purchase Salon Confidential products in Bournemouth” comments Steph.

Steph has also recently been named International Director for a brand new fashion, makeup, beauty and hair school in Bejing tyo open shortly. This will give the team in the Poole based salon the unique opportunity to go to Bejing and demonstrate their skills.

Steph’s passion for hairdressing means she continues to raise the standard of hairdressing at HNB, let’s be honest, anyone who opens a salon with a doorman is certainly aiming for a niche market. Steph’s relentless pursuit of perfection doesn’t stop at doormen, “Sometimes people come to join us and they just don’t make our grade, I make no apology for not employing ordinary hairdressers, my core beliefs remain the same, one thing you can be assured of at HNB is the standard and level of your stylist looking after you is extraordinary.” Steph continues, “our stylists are passionate about their craft and customers alike, without the combination of the two, you simply wont’ be working at HNB!”

On top of their success with Salon Confidential, HNB have also just opened the Doll Face Professional Glamour room to more success. They can now offer a full ‘glam squad’ package for your big night out, wedding, or any special event. You’re sure to get the A-list treatment, no less. Therapist Marissa can spray tan you, do your nails, make-up and apply hair extensions of course, all at HNB ready for your night out.

Talking of A list and getting ready for a big event, Steph has the inside scoop on Kate’s hair for the big day, “We wish Kate an amazing “hair do” on her big day, I happen to know James Price at the Richard Ward salon in London is looking after her hair and has been getting her ready for the past 3 months with treatments and practices. It’s such a hush hush that no one is allowed in the room with them at all, so no one can know how he will do it. All I know is… He will do an amazing job, he’s a consummate professional and his life will change forever as a hairdresser after 22ndApril, so I wish him the very best of luck. We all know some days hair just won’t do what we want, it will do things its never done before and you can guarantee that will be on the biggest day of his life and hers. So I pray the hair behaves and we have in the old hairdresser’s cliché “A good hair day!”

INTRODUCING

Perfectly positioned at the water's edge, overlooking one of Dorset’s most picturesque estuaries, Christchurch Harbour Hotel & Spa features a 2 AA-Rosette restaurant and a luxury modern spa. Set in an impressive Victorian building, Christchurch Harbour Hotel is just 20 minutes from Bournemouth town centre.

The Harbour Hotels' most recent launch to the group was the opening of the exquisite Harbour Spa in 2008, located at the Christchurch Harbour Hotel. Facilities within the Spa, along with the 14m indoor swimming pool include the most up to date hydrotherapy pool, Sauna, Crystal Steam Room, Salt Grotto, Shower features, Treatment Rooms and a full program of fitness classes in conjunction with the state-of-the art Gymnasium.

Pulling into a quite full car park meant that we spent a little while searching for a parking space. The spa is adjacent to the main hotel building and can be accessed via its own Spa entrance, or through the main hotel building down a cosy, carpeted corridor on the first floor. Once inside, the spa reception is smart and welcoming, with walls lined with colourful products from the spa's ranges: ESPA and Guinot.

The receptionist greeted us like something from a best practice customer service training video,

but genuine. We were asked if we had been before and as we hadn’t we were offered a seat in the relaxation area while we filled in our details and previous health history. Our therapists then introduced themselves as we followed them through to the private treatment rooms. She gave us a bundle of two towels, spa-friendly footwear covers and a robe each, and we were left to change into something more comfortable ready for the massage and facial in our rooms.

The treatment room was attractive with subtle mood lighting, candles and dark walls of chocolate coloured velvet on the wall. My therapist took a couple of minutes to tell me about the process and also explained that the treatment would involve a scrub, massage, a face and head massage and a clay face mask. Wow. She left the room for a couple of minutes allowing me to prepare myself for the treatment by hanging up my bathrobe and lying face up on the comfortable couch covered by a thick towel.

The therapist asked me a series of questions relating to my physical well-being and what I wanted from the treatment. She said that she would base my treatment on my particular needs. She started work on my facial detailing what she was doing as

she was doing it. The scrubs and oils smelled powerful and floral with lemongrass and lavender notes. After applying a clay face mask, I was given a fantastically relaxing head massage, which was probably my favourite part of this treatment. Any tension I had, dissipated.

Part two involved a slow relaxing back massage which again was in the darkened room using aromatic oils. The variance of massage techniques meant that I felt relaxed and invigorated at the same time. I felt relaxed, glowing and with the smoothest skin I'd had for a long time, committed to taking a more responsible attitude to my daily skincare routine. My therapist told me she would leave me some samples of the products at the reception so that I could carry on the regime at home and although I never received these products when I left, it was a nice touch. Afterwards, we were shown to the other spa facilities and the changing rooms. After placing our belongings in a locker, we tried out the Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and salt grotto. These areas all surround the pool where underwater lights make it seem very modern and luxurious. There was no natural daylight during the spa day so time goes by without really knowing whether it’s morning or afternoon.

The greaT chilli cook-off

Cheap and easy to make, Chilli Con Carne is up there with Beef Stew and Bolognese as one of the best one-pot wonders of them all.Like most classics, there's no definitive recipe and ask any budding cook and chances are they'll have their own take on the spicy staple. Loyd Grossman is a man who knows a thing or two about chilli. He invited me to his kitchen to pit my own recipe (see below) against one of his own creation. It was a daunting task, considering he's travelled all over the US researching ingredients for his new range of chilli sauces.

Would he cogitate, digest and disappear to a dark room for an hour or so before delivering a verdict in the same way he used to on MasterChef? Thankfully, he didn't. Instead, he was constantly checking up on what I was doing, fascinated by the differences in ingredients and methods. "Oh, you brown the mince in a different pan? That's interesting," he said, scribbling down a quick note. "And bacon lardon? Fascinating!"

Mexican cooking is becoming increasingly popular and it's a great cuisine for sharing, he says. "There's this misconception that Mexican food is unhealthy, but it's really not. It's just everything that goes with it - the sour cream and cheese. Personally, I eat mine with corn bread. Very heavy, but delicious."

As Loyd knows from his travels, the origins of chilli are unknown. While the meat and

spice combination would have been familiar to ancient Atzecs and the Maya, popular thinking suggests chilli is part of American Tex-Mex cuisine so beloved of the southern states, and so derided by actual Mexicans.

Chilli purists have strict rules on what you can put in the pot, and a Texan Chilli Con Carne won't have any other vegetables in it other than fiery chilli peppers. Loyd's a bit of a purist, and balks at my suggestion of adding an achovy fillet to the base of the sauce. It's a trick used by Italians for adding depth, and he later admits that while "a lunatic ingredient" it actually works. "You can add whatever you like," he continues. "But I hate to see the idea of making chilli confused with a fridge-clearing exercise."

In Britain, we're familiar with adding bell peppers, and "it should have a lot of onion at the base," Loyd argues. You can also use mushrooms, tomatoes or whatever you've got handy. Spice is also hugely important in chilli, and comes in both fresh and powdered form. Regular Serrano chillies will do the trick perfectly, while habanero provides not only immediate heat, but a satisfying long burn, while a jalapeno is more like a slap in the face. Experiment and find one you like.You should also add a little chilli powder for background heat and, perhaps most importantly of all, a great big pile of ground cumin for a really deep, smoky taste.

As for liquid, use chopped, tinned tomatoes and you can also add a bottle of lager - something in-keeping with the nature of the dish like San Miguel or Sol - as a stock before you add your tinned tomatoes. Don't forget plenty of garlic, and maybe a bay leaf or three, left to infuse while the pan blips away.

Making chilli from scratch is one thing, but it can be time consuming. And that's where Grossman comes in. "I wanted to create a range that allows busy people a quick and simple, yet delicious way to make Mexican food a more regular feature in their cooking repertoire," he says. Of course, you don't just have to eat the chilli on its own.

The sauce can be used as a base for a host of other recipes, such as the ones suggested by Grossman himself below, plus my own chilli recipe. The sauce king heartily approved of my creation, by the way. Although he did mention he found it a little on the hot side as he reached for the water.

MethodHeat the oil in a pan and add the beef. Brown gently all over, then add the sauce. Heat through and place into an oven proof dish and cover tightly. Place into a preheated oven at 150C for two and a half to three hours. Remove from the oven and allow to sit for a few minutes.

For the salsa, mix everything together and season with salt to taste. Cover, refrigerate and allow to sit for at least 30 minutes before serving.

turkey enchiladaS (ServeS 5-6)

For the enchiladas450g turkey mince660g jar Loyd Grossman Fiery Chilli Con Carne Sauce1 red pepper, sliced2tbsp sour cream60g grated cheddar cheese5 tortilla wraps1tbsp chopped coriander leavesVegetable oil

to serve (optional):Pico De Galo Salsa (see chilli beef recipe)1 head cos lettuce, washed and finely shreddedHeat the oil in a pan and add the turkey mince. Cook for a few minutes, breaking up any clumps of mince and ensuring it's cooked.Add the red pepper and cook for two minutes. Add the jar of Loyd Grossman Chilli Con Carne Sauce. Bring to a boil and cook for three to four minutes. Remove from the heat.

MethodPlace a large sieve or fine colander over a bowl and pour the chilli in. Stir a little so that most (but not all) of the free sauce has passed through. Retain the sauce and the meat/peppers/beans separately.

Lightly oil a baking tray. Spoon some of the meat into the tortilla wraps. Roll up and place onto the baking tray with the edge of the wraps facing down, trying to use all the meat, dividing it up evenly. Pour the retained sauce over the wraps, covering them as evenly as possible.Dot small amounts of the sour cream over the top and sprinkle over the cheese.

Place in a preheated oven at 170C for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden brown and the sauce is piping hot throughout. Serve garnished with the coriander, a couple of tablespoons of the Pico De Galo Salsa and with the shredded lettuce.

MethodIn a frying pan, brown the mince. Cook in batches if there's too much in the pan - you want it to fry rather than sweat. Set aside once cooked.

In a large pot or casserole dish, heat a tablespoon of the oil. Add the diced bacon and fry until golden on a medium heat. Add the onion and chilli and fry for a further five minutes. Next, add the spices and garlic and keep stirring until they've cooked through and coated the other ingredients.

Add the mince to the pan, and stir. Next add the tomato puree and stir in for 30 seconds before adding the beer. Turn up the heat and allow to bubble away for a few minutes to let the alcohol disappear and some liquid evaporate before adding the tomatoes and bay leaves. Keep on a high heat for five minutes, stirring all the time, before turning to a low heat and adding the kidney beans.

Leave to blip away for at least an hour, three if possible, stirring occasionally. Serve with grated cheddar, sour cream and fluffy white rice.

We take our breakfast very seriously at House Towers, as the famous quote goes; “Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper”, we certainly concur with the first part, start the day well and it’ll keep you fuelled all day long and ready for a hard day’s publishing!

That said, we were delighted when resident café at Arena Business Centre in Poole, ‘Ocean Blue’ asked us to test drive their ‘Big breakfast’. Never one to turn down such an offer, we piled on in on a crisp Monday morning to sample the culinary delights of Kaz, Kim and Lesley at Ocean Blue. We struggled to make it upstairs to their seating area as our eyes caught sight of the delicious looking - and all home made – baked goods on display out front. Rocky Road, flapjacks, Mars bar rice crispy cakes, cookies and much more, all tempting us and I can personally recommend the Mars rice crispy cake, I shan't describe them as I think the name is enough to make your mouth water.

On with breakfast and we were presented with the classic ‘big breakfast’ model, except with a few upgrades. Ocean Blue you see, is a bit different to other cafés of it’s ilk, they only use the highest quality, locally sourced meat and produce. This rare fact makes their breakfast truly fit for a king, with quality meaty sausages and flavoursome bacon accompanied by juicy tomatoes, beans with actual flavour, proper mushrooms (not tinned), perfectly fried hash browns and toast, all washed down with some strong, real coffee. I’m a self confessed coffee snob and can’t bear anything but good quality coffee, something their’s certainly is.

So, bellies full, we trundled back to the office with one thought in mind, was that possibly the best breakfast in Dorset? Certainly our best so far. But, if you think your café or restaurant offers a better one, call us, we’ll be only too glad to try it, all in the name of culinary excellence, of course!

Mineral-laced, noticeably pale and hugely appealing, Albarino is Galicia's star grape that's so in vogue with vino lovers thirsty for the next best thing. Relatively new to our shores, Spain's most popular white from Rias Baixas,

the fishing capital on the north-western tip, has devotees labelling it the new Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.

Hugely versatile with bright acidity and freshness, Albarino (pronounced al-bar-reen-yo) is a perfect partner with shellfish or seafood - and you can almost

feel the cool breezes from the Atlantic Ocean with every refreshing sip. Fans of Spain's signature grape can now find this modish label neatly poised on

mainstream supermarket shelves, and the beguiling flavours vary from citrus, to herbal to peachy fruit. £9.99

If you like a wine that speaks to you, try Vina Ludy Albarino 2010. A great entry-level, easy-drinking fruity white with good acidity, I could almost taste the sea salt on the finish. Perfect with take-away fish 'n' chips.

For newcomers to the Albarino grapevine, try Sainsbury's, Taste the Difference Albarino 2009.A good benchmark for this style of wine with its distinctive aroma, the breezy fruit flavours and crisp finish make it a winner with any type of seafood, especially calamari with a squeeze of lemon. Extremely pretty, the region is also known as 'green Spain' thanks to the rainfall and lush vegetation. The prized vines of Rias Baixas are traditionally grown on pergolas to protect them from the wet conditions, and the wines beg to be drunk young.

M&S has a new spring arrival with its Orballo Albarino 2010.Very flowery and zippy, with peach and melon flavours, a hint of nectarine and good mineral notes, it can't help but perk up your palate.

Another aromatic beauty, try Taboexa Albarino 2009. Lively with a hint of salt and a generous amount of peach, a nice herbal edge, honeysuckle notes and snappy acidity, it's a delicious choice with white fish. Alternatively, for a drop of sunshine in a glass, try Camino Las Rias Albarino 2009 (£11.49, www.laithwaites.co.uk). Clear and bright, with white flower and fruit, lemony notes and a floral finish, it's very moreish with a subtle sweetness about it - terrific with seared scallops.Showing trademark Galician fresh acidity, try Pazo Senorans Albarino 2008 (£14.99, www.virginwines.co.uk). A notch up the scale, white stone fruits leap from the glass and there's a subtle saltiness to this seductive and intriguing wine which makes it a winner on its own, or with any type of shellfish.

sYDneY suBurBAn viBe infLuenCes NEW SYNERGY SALONSome are places you go to get your hair done, others are social hubs where you leave looking a million dollars with a relaxed smile on your face, a story to tell and feeling thoroughly treasured.

Synergy is one of those rare breeds; quality styling and colour technique is a foregone conclusion with management who believe in training, nurturing and progressing its top-notch team. It’s the cream on the top which adds the value, those extra elements where the atmosphere is a bit special, the camaraderie between the stylists is entertaining and warm, and you get exactly what you went in for.

Sixteen years ago, Synergy was established in Poole High Street and, due to its success and significant following, a second salon in Blandford opened in 2008. Now in 2011, a third boutique salon has opened in Ashley Cross in Lower Parkstone making it the fastest growing independent in the conurbation.

Owners Colina and Steve Currell believe a business is nothing without the strength of its team. ‘Synergy on Parr Street’ is not only a grasped opportunity for the business, it is also a chance for key stylists, Natalie Hole and Daniel Pryke, to evolve their own careers. Salon manager Natalie is excited about how ‘Parr Street’ is already growing momentum:

“Colina and I have both enjoyed time in Sydney and wanted that same boutique style reprieve we experienced in the city’s suburban salons for Parr Street. We’ve created a mix of bohemian and vintage contemporary in the salon space which is small yet full of character. Clients are noticing its relaxed, friendly vibe. Having worked for Synergy for seven years, I instinctively know what feels right; we’ve got our own little hybrid here in this lovely community.”

The Ashley Cross ‘scene’ has always attracted a following with its popular pubs, The Bermuda Triangle and Bricklayers Arms, adjacent to the beautiful church of St Peters. Daytime footfall has increased since the popular The Dancing Goat Coffee Shop opened with its famous homemade cakes and quality coffee – well known as the tiny space for the big players’ daily caffeine fix. Now, right next door, Synergy’s creative influence is giving the micro area a unique day scene all of its own.

Natalie is supported by long serving, Synergy trained staff, senior stylist Daniel Pryke, junior stylist Chloe Lloyd and trainee stylist Alicia Nolan. They are offering the community a fresh approach to hair, served up with the Synergy philosophy of ‘love, touch and understanding’.

Daniel’s summary of the new Parr Street scene says it all: “Synergy is renowned for both cutting edge and classic hair design, coupled with stunning approaches to colour. Mix that with a chilled space, an upbeat atmosphere and some seriously good customer service, and we’re pretty confident Parr Street is going to be as big a success as its two big sister salons!

The SuSpicionS of Mr Whicher25 april, 9pm, itvThe Suspicions of Mr Whicher - the best-selling book by Kate Summerscale about an infamous murder in a Victorian country house - has been adapted for ITV by Hat Trick Productions. The two hour drama stars Paddy Considine (Red Riding Trilogy, Dead Man’s Shoes, The Bourne Ultimatum, 24 Hour Party People, Hot Fuzz) in the lead role of Inspector Jonathan Whicher and has been adapted by Neil McKay (Mo, See No Evil: The Moors Murders).

Considine stars alongside BAFTA award winner Peter Capaldi (In the Loop, Torchwood, The Thick of It), Emma Fielding (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, The Children), Alexandra Roach (Being Human, The IT Crowd, Candy Cabs) William Beck (The Infidel, Northanger Abbey) and Kate O’Flynn (Kingdom, The Palace).

It is a summer’s night in 1860. In an elegant

Join Angela Griffin as she shines a spotlight onthe frontline heroes of Britain’s emergencyservices: paramedics.

From the horrific to the heart-warming, paramedics witness the best and worst of human nature. One shift could see them delivering a baby being born on the roadside, while the next requires them to tend to the victim of a vicious attack. Spending ten weeks in the company of the paramedics of West Midlands Ambulance Service, Angela scrubs in and works real shifts for what is set to be an emotional and exhilarating experience.

This first instalment throws her into the thick of the real-life action. Angela may have appeared in a medical drama or two, but nothing can prepare her for what’s to come. Emotions run high as the actress answers an emergency call-out to a baby with breathing difficulties, before moving on to a man with heart problems. And

William and Kate have only ever given one interview, and who knows when or whether they William and Kate have only ever given one interview, and who knows when or whether they will ever let the cameras in again. Tom Bradby, the man chosen by the couple to conduct that unique interview following their engagement takes a closer look at what they told him and insight it gives to the life they will lead and the roles they will play in a changing Royal family and in our nation’s future.

The film sees Tom visit key locations across the UK that have significance in William and Kate’s lives as he places his exclusive interview in

Peter Andre’s on the road once again. It’s been over a decade since Peter fulfilled a boyhood dream by performing to thousands of fans across Britain during his 1997 ‘Natural’ arena tour. Now Peter’s dreams are being fulfilled again as we follow him embarking on a brand new arena tour.

Following a week of rehearsals the tour starts with a warm-up show in Minehead. When Peter sees the stage being rigged in all its glory, the

detached Georgian house in the village of Road, Wiltshire, all is quiet. Behind shuttered windows the Kent family lies sound asleep. At some point after midnight a dog barks.

The family wakes the next morning to a horrific discovery: an unimaginably gruesome murder has taken place in their home. The household reverberates with shock, not least because the guilty party is almost certainly still among them.

Jack Whicher of Scotland Yard, the most celebrated detective of his day, is sent to investigate the murder at Road Hill House. With only an inept local police to help him and no material evidence, he faces an unenviable task: to solve a case in which the grieving family are the suspects.

The murder provokes national hysteria. The thought of what might be festering behind the closed doors of respectable middle-class homes - scheming servants, rebellious children, insanity, jealousy, loneliness and loathing - arouses fear and a kind of excitement. But when Whicher reaches his shocking conclusion there is uproar and bewilderment.

A true story that inspired a generation of writers such as Wilkie Collins, Charles Dickens and Arthur Conan Doyle, this has all the hallmarks of the classic murder mystery - a body; a detective; a country house steeped in secrets.

Chiwetel Ejiofor and Christopher Eccleston star in Hugo Blick’s sophisticated and gripping conspiracy thriller

Chiwetel Ejiofor, Christopher Eccleston, Stephen Rea, Rafe Spall, Kierston Wareing and Lesley Sharp star in Hugo Blick’s sophisticated and gripping conspiracy thriller which delves into the heart of human morality.

Two years ago Harvey Wratten, one of the UK’s biggest crime lords, and his nephew Jay Wratten were imprisoned. After serving only two years they received a Royal pardon – but just four hours into their freedom Harvey is murdered. The Shadow Line begins...

DI Gabriel has just returned to work after being shot on an undercover job; his partner was killed and Gabriel suffered amnesia with a bullet lodged in his head.

Gabriel starts to investigate the Wratten case with his partner DS Honey. Joseph Bede, one of Wratten’s men, is keen to find out who killed Wratten, and also wants to track down Glickman, their money man. With Wratten dead and Glickman missing, Bede is left holding the fort.

Meanwhile, Jay Wratten is a loose cannon... Bede sends his foot soldiers on a mission to

Jay Wratten is played by Rafe Spall, DI Gabriel by Chiwetel Ejiofor, DS Honey by Kierston Wareing and Joseph Bede by Christopher Eccleston.

significance of what’s about to happen hits home and he can hardly believe his luck!

However, things take a turn for the worse when he’s rushed to hospital in agony with kidney stones. Everything is put on hold and the tour is put in jeopardy but, thankfully, Peter responds well to the emergency surgery. He manages to do his warm-up show, but reluctantly sticks to doctor’s orders and tones down the dance routines.

The tour kicks off properly in Birmingham and Peter is feeling a lot better. He gives the show his full energy and comes off stage feeling overwhelmed. His nearest and dearest are all extremely impressed.

In Manchester, Peter’s joined by two VIPs – Junior and Princess. However, Junior’s attentions aren’t with his father but Christina, one of the tour dancers! On stage, Peter performs an especially moving version of ‘Unconditional’, the song he dedicates to Harvey, Junior and Princess. The London 02 show is the biggest of Peter’s life and we see the nerves build throughout the day right up until his dramatic stage entrance. The crowd go wild, which completely blows him away.

There’s a special fan waiting backstage at the aftershow party. Elen Rives tells Peter she enjoyed the show and he seems pleased that he’s impressed her. A coy Peter goes on to talk about his new romance and explains that the couple will be taking things slowly.

Next we follow Peter as he attends the London premiere of Harrison Ford’s new movie, ‘Morning Glory’.

The following morning, Peter wakes to bad news from his homeland. There’s been major flooding in Queensland so an anxious Peter calls his father. Thankfully, the Gold Coast hasn’t been affected and his family are safe. Relieved by the news, Peter can focus on spending a fun-fuelled afternoon with his brothers at an indoor ski centre.

It’s the weekend and Peter has invited the celebrity chef Gino D’Acampo and his family round for lunch. Peter’s a big fan of Italian food so Gino shows him and the kids how to prepare the perfect antipasti and fresh pasta. Like Peter, Gino’s a family man, and the two celebrities have so much in common that Peter’s made a

Leading the programming for BBC One and BBC News is Huw Edwards, who will be based outside Buckingham Palace and joined by fellow anchors Fiona Bruce and Sophie Raworth, who will be situated at key locations in central London.

Also reporting on events across the day for BBC TV are BBC Radio 1’s Fearne Cotton and Edith Bowman, BBC Sport presenter Jake Humphrey and BBC Breakfast’s Chris Hollins, along with One Show presenter Alex Jones and her colleague Anita Rani, who will capture the stories, excitement and celebrations from across London, the UK and around the world.

Alongside the comprehensive coverage on the big day itself there are a number of special wedding-themed programmes across the week, including a one-off documentary on BBC One, William And Kate – A Royal Wedding, which celebrates and retells the story of William and Catherine. Also on BBC One is When Royals Wed, a four-part Daytime series on the history of Royal weddings from Victorian times to the present day, while The One Show covers Royal-related topics culminating in a surprise special broadcast on the big day itself.

Roll up! Roll up! Britain's Got Talent is back again, bringing its parade of eccentrics, oddities and freaks to our screens.

Of course, the show has snagged its fair share of genuine and serious talent but actress Amanda Holden agrees that the programme is really a showcase for the country's weirdest variety acts.

"I love them!" squeals Holden, who's been sitting on the judging panel since the show began five years ago.

"They are my main staple. Eccentric and off the wall acts are what BGT is all about."

Past acts have included dancing dogs, drag queens, piano-playing pigs and rapping grannies, and this year won't buck the trend, with a man who carves faces out of melons and another who can vomit through his nose among the hopefuls.

Of course, Holden doesn't need to look far to find a larger-than-life personality, as she's joined by two on the panel.

Step forward new recruits David Hasselhoff and Michael McIntyre, who take the places of Piers Morgan and Simon Cowell, both of whom are unavoidably detained in the US.

Morgan has taken over from Larry King on his CNN show and Cowell is working on the US version of The X Factor during the initial BGT auditions.

Hasselhoff, or 'The Hoff' as he's often referred to, is already a seasoned panellist, having judged alongside Morgan on America's Got Talent. He's delighted to be taking Simon Cowell's seat ("It's very warm," the former Baywatch star quips) but he thinks the live audiences are far more vocal than those in the US.

"And they are very territorial!" he exclaims. "It seems like every city really dislikes every other city."

The audience have to be vocal this year because they've been cast as the 'fourth judge' for the first time, meaning that their reactions can influence whether or not the judges buzz the acts in or out.

Stand-up comedian McIntyre, who's had to adjust to having the crowd behind him rather than in front of him, says he was bowled over by how enthusiastic the crowds were.

"In Glasgow they weren't happy with one of the judge's decisions and they certainly made their feelings known... they really are the fourth judge," he says.

Not only that, but a fifth judge will be joining the ranks by the time we get to the live finals in the shape of Cowell himself, who at that point should have tied up his work on the US X Factor.

It's down to Holden, McIntyre and The Hoff to deliver some acts he'll be pleased with, and McIntyre reveals he's excited about Cowell's return - even if it means his own judging talents will be up for scrutiny.

"He will be back for the live shows not only to judge the acts but also to judge the judges, as only he can!"

Holden for one is looking forward to having her former colleague back on the panel. "I especially can't wait to see his face when he sees some of the acts we've put through!" she says with a wicked laugh.

"I think he'll take credit for the ones that are good and try to blame me and the boys for the rest."

Her money's on a child singer winning this year because she says "some of them completely blew us away at the auditions".

McIntyre's preferred act was a little bit more novelty. He explains: "My favourite is probably these two tiny dogs who looked identical and both had to complete an assault course. One of them got everything right and the other one got everything wrong - I was crying with laughter."

The Hoff found it harder to pick a favourite and reels off a list of a few instead: "The young acts are without a doubt going to be in the finals and, surprisingly, a fantastic dog act and some very funny comedians."

He says he's taking the task of finding an act to perform at the Royal Variety Performance "very seriously" and hopes the contestants are too.

Holden's determined there should be something fresh to entertain the Royal Family.

"I genuinely feel a responsibility and don't really enjoy repetition of a particular genre so we are always looking for something different, something we've maybe never seen before, something to truly entertain Britain and the Royal Family," she says.

For a first-timer, McIntyre's more relaxed about this task. The comedian, who himself has appeared as an act and a host of the Royal Variety Performance, says: "It's a wonderful opportunity to perform for the Royal Family, but the public will pick the finalists and the public will pick the winner, and if the public love them, I'm certain their Queen will too."
