OU T & ABOUT
INSURING A CLASSIC CAR W
ith interest rates still low, some people are now looking for alternative investment options. Whilst art, gold and diamonds have been seen by some as alternatives to stocks and shares, it is a little-known fact that in recent years some classic cars have outperformed traditional alternative investments. e term ‘classic’ is a much-discussed point in the car collecting world. Some collectors believe a ‘classic’ to be pre-1978 (which is the current age at which road tax exemption officially kicks in) whilst others believe a classic car is anything older than 25 years. Classic car insurance can apply when a car is over 20 years old. But the one thing that all car lovers agree on is that for a car to truly be a classic, it must be able to prove its worth in terms of design and be a joy to own. According to the Knight Frank Luxury Investment Index, wine investments went up by 3% in 2017, watches by 4%, coins by 10% and classic cars by 28%. However, before you dash off to the next classic car auction, there are some important points to consider. As with any specialist area of investment, there are pitfalls to watch out for, not least the condition and authenticity of the car at the point of purchase. Whilst a car may be a design classic, it is also old and may require extensive work before it is ready to drive. Equally, it may already have had significant restoration work which, if of
6
O C TO B E R 2 0 1 8
dubious quality, could both damage the value of the vehicle and hide a multitude of other sins. e cost of high quality repairs and restoration can quickly escalate to overtake the rate of increase in the value of the car, so before buying the vehicle, make sure you are aware of any work which is required. e other big considerations are storage and insurance. Ideally classic cars should be kept in covered, secure conditions, preferably temperature controlled, and it is important to check your insurance policy wording as there may be restrictions which apply - your broker can tell you more. Your insurance broker can also help you with locating the kind of breakdown cover you will need. ink carefully about the kind of driving you will be doing. Classic cars are rarely used as an everyday drive, and your broker can advise on any discounts available for reduced mileage, and also any extra coverage required for special journeys such as driving holidays abroad. Your broker can also check whether there are specialist policies available, for example those which cover both classic and modern vehicles, so that you can insure your everyday and your classic car on the same policy. Finally, think about whether you need extra insurance options such as key replacement cover and cover for authentic replacement parts – both are obviously major costs for rare vehicles. is is not an area where cheap generic spares will do the job. n

LONDON’S
LARGEST OPEN SPACE Epping Forest is an ideal destination for all sorts of outdoor fun, including activities such as cycling and walking the dog.
T H E DETAILS You can also follow Epping Forest on @COLEppingForest, Like Epping Forest on Epping Forest City of London or follow Epping Forest on coleppingforest.
C
ycling in Epping Forest is a great way to get away from it all, keep fit, train for a special event or just explore more of London's largest open space. ere are over 80km of multi-user paths in the Forest to explore, including our nine waymarked trails. Cyclists can cycle across most of Epping Forest. e paths are multi-user, unless marked otherwise, so there's plenty to discover. Please be aware of other users when cycling in the Forest and keep to the cycling code of conduct. Check out the nine waymarked trails on the running and walking page for short, easy-to-navigate routes. Most of Wanstead Park is closed to cyclists. ere is however a permissive cycle route which runs between the entrance on Northumberland Avenue (opposite Wanstead Park Avenue) between the two lakes to the entrance near Heronry Pond at the very end of Warren Road. Here this permissive route joins the cycle path, which runs between the top entrance at Warren Road and the entrance on Northumberland Avenue opposite Park Road. You can cycle on bridleways in the buffer lands, but unlike in the
Forest, there is no open access for cyclists and footpaths are not multi-user. Please keep to bridleways and give way to horse riders and walkers. Dog walking - Dog walking is one of the most popular activities in Epping Forest and provides great exercise for humans and canines alike! You and your four-legged friend can explore the Forest freely, but please make sure that your dog is kept on the lead or under control at all times. Be aware that your dog can upset our livestock and the wildlife living in the Forest, especially deer and ground nesting birds like skylarks. Please be conscious of other Forest users too. Please clean up after your dog too. Dog waste is not only unpleasant for humans but also damages the delicate ecological balance of the Forest. You can put the waste in any of the litter bins in the car parks or surrounding streets or take it home with you. Whether you wish to escape the urban sprawl and unwind, or want something a little more active, Epping Forest has something for you. ere are also four visitor centres with exhibitions, special events and friendly staff. n © City of London

FROM KINDERGARTEN TO YOUNG ADULTS
B
raeside School offers a small, personalised education for girls in Buckhurst Hill, and Normanhurst is a growing school for boys and girls in North Chingford. e two schools take children from 2½ to 16, and between them they make up half of the privately-owned Oak-Tree Group. We talk to Claire Osborn, Headmistress of both schools, about the provision of an excellent education from Kindergarten all the way up to Year 11. Q: What are the benefits of Braeside and Normanhurst taking children from 2½ to 16? A: With many of our children pupils at both schools since the age of 2 or 3, we can provide continuity of education in familiar surroundings by teachers who know then well. e progression from each stage to the next is well-supported to ensure that the pupils’ education is continually enhanced. Q: What are the benefits of attending the Kindergarten at Braeside or Normanhurst from 2½ rather than a local nursery? A: We have a real emphasis on learning in our Kindergartens, with a strong history of enabling the children to flourish. e curriculum is based around the seven Early Learning Goals, but is enriched with a wide range of additional activities including Music, Computing and PE lessons; French and Drama workshops; assemblies, performances, trips and outings. Being attached to a school we also have many subject specialists at our disposal. Our children have excellent relationships with their dedicated keyworkers, who are responsible for monitoring their progress and development. Observations are made electronically and evidence is emailed home regularly. e children often exceed their expected levels of progress.

Both Braeside and Normanhurst provide happy and secure environments in which to learn, with a generous provision of space, large classrooms and dedicated outside learning areas that allow for ‘free flow’ to encourage creativity. Q: How do you support working parents with wrap-around care? A: ere are daily breakfast and teatime clubs available from 7.30am until 6pm and an extensive range of extra-curricular clubs and activities as well as holiday clubs including multi-sports, Early Years and drama. Q: What happens at 11+ for pupils who join Braeside and Normanhurst from outside? A: Many of the children who join us in Year 7 at Braeside and Normanhurst come from other local state or independent schools. We have joint entrance exams in January and March, and I interview each family before offering places. e induction process minimises what can be a daunting experience, and our existing children who move up to Year 7 are friendly and accommodating. Both schools have been extremely successful at GCSE. At Braeside this year, 95% of grades achieved were at grade 4 or above, equivalent to a previous grade C or higher. 47% of grades were at grades 7-9, equivalent to the previous grades A*or A. ere were 100% passes in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Art, History, Drama, Maths and RS. At Normanhurst 87% of grades achieved were at grade 4 or above, equivalent to a previous grade C or higher, with a quarter at grades 7-9, equivalent to the previous grades A*or A. Once again the pupils achieved particularly well in the creative and performing arts, with 100% passes in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Art, Graphics, Music, Drama, English Literature and French. n
There are several entry points at Braeside and Normanhurst. Contact the schools directly to arrange a personalised tour. 11+ and 13+ entrance exams are held in January and March 2018.

THE JOY OF EPPING FOREST
L
ocal people regard their neighbourhood patch of Epping Forest as their playground. But a stroll during a beautiful autumnal day can be reminder of the scale of this patchwork of local open spaces, which form some 6,000 acres of unified ancient woodland which is internationally protected for its conservation importance. Protecting the Forest is vitally important in ensuring it remains for future generations. at’s also why it’s important the children of today learn to love and care for it. And what better way to introduce them to it than through play? Play in a natural environment helps a child to develop a healthy lifestyle, improve and maintain physical and mental wellbeing as well as a whole range of social skills. Epping Forest, which is managed by the City of London Corporation, is the perfect playground and offers endless ways to spark a child’s
1 2 O C TO B E R 2 0 1 8
imagination. Autumn is the one of the best times of year to visit the Forest with its varied spectrum of leaf colour. Why not encourage the children to collect a range of coloured leaves and create their own natural work of art by making a rainbow collage? Fallen branches offer a fantastic habitat for bugs and are a great place to start a bug hunt. When we undertake tree management we also sometimes leave piles of branches and logs to be used for den building. Dens can become very elaborate and take whole days to make if all the details are added. You can even name your den by arranging twig letters at its ‘front door’. Trees of course provide a true nature’s playground for climbing and balancing. We don’t encourage climbing our protected ancient trees but there are always plenty of huge old fallen trunks that provide daring challenges. A walk through the Forest can be brought alive for children by spotting the faces in the knots of the trees and making up stories about them. e many streams that cross the Forest are beginning to refill in Autumn and are great fun to splash across. Playing with different textures such as sand, gravel and mossy places can be achieved in this one Forest with its varied environments. Opportunities for natural play are limitless and ever-changing, better than any formal play facility as you never know what you’re going to encounter, spot, discover or learn on this journey into nature in your ‘neck of the woods’. n
Protecting the Forest is vitally important in ensuring it remains for future generations.

LOCAL BUSINESS NETWORK SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY Michelle Harris interviews Jeff Markham – a CRY representative.
C
RY (Cardiac Risk in the Young) is currently receiving a lot of press about their life-saving work. It is a startling statistic that every week at least 12 young people die from an undetected heart condition. Wanstead Business Network (WBN) are actively raising funds for the charity and will be holding a 1970s/1980s themed disco at Wanstead Golf Club in November. Funds raised will be used to support the FREE screenings, support of CRY’s involvement with research and the counselling of bereaved families. Michelle: CRY offers a fantastic service which is saving many hundreds of lives through their screening process. Why did you get involved? Jeff: Because and very sadly, my son James, had an undetected heart condition. He died seventeen years ago… He was 21. My involvement comes out of the grief for my loss and to help other families be spared the pain of losing a child to this silent killer. Michelle: I am so very sorry to hear this… Your grief is every parent’s worst nightmare. ank you for speaking at WBN’s event on behalf of CRY… Jeff: My commitment is continually motivated by helping others. I visit schools, go to clubs and promote awareness; educating parents, teachers and also young people about the condition and how potentially, it can be addressed before it results in a fatality.

Michelle: What is the response? Are people aware? Are people surprised? Jeff: Mixed in as much as some people are aware of us (CRY) and where family members have been affected. Other people are still fairly in the dark. What is encouraging is that when speaking to schools, I am normally invited back to speak again to the next year 12 cohort about the importance of screening. Michelle: Are you aware of the percentage of young people that are referred to a cardiologist as a result of screening? Jeff: What we find is a generalisation; for every screening we do and which includes an ECG is that approximately 1 in 300 are referred for further tests which result in a diagnosis. Each screening session will normally see 100 young people in a day. Michelle: I have read that CRY have 4 vans and also screen at hospitals. If you’re seeing 500 young people per day, the statistics are 1-2 will be referred per day. Jeff: Yes. is is potentially saving lives and in the words of one of our cardiologists, when a young person dies, what are we losing? A person’s potential, the contribution they may have made and also the trauma that their family goes through. I can only describe it as insurmountable grief… ere is no replacement for my son and my motivation is to spare others a pain that goes beyond words or comprehension. n

DANCING WITH THE STARS Ballroom Giant Gary Edwards from Essex fills the legendary Arthur Murray’s dance shoes
A
merican TV’s ‘Dancing with the Stars’ all Access judge Gary Edwards is ultimate brand ambassador for the globally established Arthur Murray Dance studios. As one of the world’s foremost dance judges, Gary has been dancing since the age of seven. His mother encouraged him to take his first steps, since when he has won over 30 international dancing titles, including the British Open Ballroom and the British Open Latin and having judged 47 World Championships, Gary is ultimately qualified to blaze this trail. Arthur Murray Dance Studios has been teaching the world to dance since its founder, Arthur Murray, opened its doors 106 years ago. Teacher to the stars and dance legend Arthur Murray has been sharing his talents with the world since 1912, when he taught his first class at the Grand Palace in New York City. Murray has boots that only the best of the best can fill, and Britain’s Gary Edwards is the man for the job. Hotly

tipped to replace Len Goodman as head judge on Strictly Come Dancing last year, Gary’s credentials include teaching the King of Pop Michael Jackson the Cha-Cha-Cha when he was working for the Royal Family of Brunei, not to mention being engaged to instruct legends like Barry White, Whitney Houston and MC Hammer. Arthur Murray himself landed his first job as a dance teacher in New York City when he was just 17 years old, and his hard work and sheer talent allowed him to build the empire we see today. Murray himself taught a litany of incredibly famous names that included Marilyn Monroe, Eleanor Roosevelt, John D. Rockefeller and the Duke of Windsor, as well as our very own Madge. Murray's first dance studio was located in Atlanta, and local radio broadcasts of his dance instruction rapidly became essential listening. In 1923, business was booming which propelled Arthur to return rapidly to New York City to oversee the company’s expansion. By 1946, Murray formally incorporated the franchise school business known as ‘Arthur Murray Dance Studios’, with 72 studios. Nowadays, the Arthur Murray brand is a multi-million dollar empire with 272
studios in 22 countries and Gary Edwards is their celebrity ambassador. Gary, who divides his time between homes in Miami Beach and Essex is back in the UK, spearheading a national campaign to get Britain dancing. He has enlisted Arthur Murray Dance Studios and Arthur Murray UK, as well as a galaxy of celebrity dance friends to promote the many benefits of dancing. Gary will be on the road, travelling the UK to judge competitions as well as visiting schools, residential care homes and disabled groups to showcase the social and lifestyle, physical and mental health benefits of dance. So, come on Britain, may we have this dance? n

Considerr your bank account af ter pay day, your car, jewe eller y and personal items. If you have children, yo ou can include a provision appointing the most suitable guardians. Your preferred funeral arrangements can also be included. A properly d draf ted Will can last a long time although we suggest that you review your will ever y 5 years or so. Over time what you own can change dra amatically. It is therefore best to have somethin ng in place and to review this as your position in n life changes.
What is probate? ‘Pr Probate obate’ is the proce ess of settling the affairs of somebody that hass died. If somebody dies leaving a Will, the Ex xecutor appointed in the Will must apply to th he Probate Registr y for a ‘Grant of Probate’; this is effectively an Order from the Cour t rec cognising that they are authorised to administter the deceased’s affairs. If somebody dies witthout a will (i.e. they die ‘intestate’), a close fam mily member must apply to the Probate Registr y for a ‘Grant of Letters of Administration’ which constitutes their authorit y to administer the dece eased’s affairs. Once they have the appropriate Grant of Representation, the Executor or Adm ministrator can then close the deceased’s acco ounts, sell their proper t y and distribute the proc ceeds in accordance with the will, or other wise e in accordance with the Rules of Intestacy.
How can I save on Inheritance Tax (“IHT”)? Unsurprisingly, this is the most common question that clients ask. There are many methods available to reduce exposure to tax. The most suitable to employ will depend on the individual client’s assets, their marital status, the exemptions available to them and their current and future needs. Each method has its own set of benefits and pitfalls, so full and detailed advice is vital. With careful and strategic planning, it is possible to put a plan in place to ensure that a client’s estate will pass in the most tax efficient way.
I am perfectly able and coping well. Do I need to make a Lasting Power of Attorney (“LPA PA A”)? ”)? An LP PA A enables your chosen attorneys to make decisions on your behalf in relation to either your proper t y and finances or your health and welfare. Each decision they make must be in your best interests. Many people consider an LP PA A to only be necessar y in old age or in cases of declining mental capacit y. The trigger for most people in making an LP PA A is a diagnosis of either Alzheimer’s or Dementia. However, an LP PA A can be used in the event of an accident which leads to a physical disabilit y or a sudden serious illness which may leave you unable to cope either permanently or temporarily due to the illness itself or the side effects of its treatment. Life can be unpredictable and without an LP PA A in place your family may struggle to assist you in managing your affairs and may be subject to a long and expensive cour t process before they are able to help you. The cour t is also able to appoint a Deput y that they consider suitable and this may not be the same person that you would have chosen yourself. Whatever your situation, you need to have sufficient mental capacity to make an LP PA A and all too of ten we see clients who have lef t it too late.

CREATIVE FUN IN ESSEX
E
pping Forest District Museum was buzzing with visitors over the summer 2018 for all sorts of fantastic creative activities. Why not take a look at what is on offer for October half-term holidays? Budding artists took inspiration for their own works of art in How to Paint…Like an Artist, from artists in the museum’s collection. ey used colour like Walter Spradbery, texture like Lucien Pissaro and painted beautiful watercolours like Jacob Epstein. In our new ‘How to Draw…a Portrait’ workshop, participants got tips and tricks for drawing faces and experienced what it is like to be a model – not as easy as they thought! At the ‘Little Storytellers’ workshop in Ongar, Michael Rosen’s classic tale ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ was used as inspiration for our little explorers to go on a journey through long wavy grass, sticky mud, a deep dark forest and even a snow storm, before creating their own maps and bears. ere was another wacky show from Booster Cushion eatre Company; Old MacDonald and the ree Pigs Plus. e ‘Musical in 2 Days’ workshop cast worked incredibly hard to learn songs, scenes and choreography from Bugsy Malone and were ready to perform in just two days.
Garden and forest Young artists and keen gardeners designed their own flowers, complete with Latin style names; did botanical drawings from plants in the

YOU CAN’T BEAT AN ORIGINAL WORDS: MICHELLE B. HARRIS
"We are all born to die - the difference is the intensity with which we choose to live." Gina Lollobrigida
W
hen a good idea, creative innovation or inspired concept excites and astounds, the initial impact that shocked and awed can seldom be replicated. A recent example, in my humble opinion, is the latest Mamma Mia film. e original was fantastic. Loved every minute, joined in the songs and boogied as if we were back in the 70s/80s. However was a tad less excited about the sequel. Cheesier than the fromagerie section of Harrods and even though I salute Judy Craymer for producing another film based upon Abba’s lyrics into a comprehensible format, the proverbial number 2 - was just that – a number 2! e James Bond films are a cinematic institution. ose great arresting openings which leave you spellbound with excitement as some daring feat is backed up with a powerful heart-thumping song. Adele’s dulcet tones for Skyfall engulfed you into a sultry world. And talking of women, with respect to the female roles and at least from 1997, females are more prominent as intellectual leaders (as opposed to predominantly bimbos in bikinis) with the arrival of Judi Dench as M in Tomorrow Never Dies. e films are great, never disappoint and we all have our favourite James Bond. A lesser known fact is that Dick van Dyke was considered as a potential Bond. A rather scary thought… I can’t get past him as the chimney sweep in Mary Poppins with a rather strange accent/voice which sounded as if he needed to have his adenoids removed. Probably the worst British accent ever…
2 8 O C TO B E R 2 0 1 8
On a literary level, I always savour the storylines of great films, development of characters and immortal one-liners. Where music is appropriate, this adds another dimension to the experience; from Scarface (my favourite) and e Departed to Casablanca and everything in between. Unforgettable characters, cinematic moments which capture a time, place or special line that virtually becomes a cliché due to the frequency of its use. “Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world… She walks into mine” and who can fail to capture the image of Humphrey Bogart in a black and white film with Sam (Dooley Wilson) playing “As Time Goes By” in the background… Cinematic legend. And of course, Ingrid Bergman who always looked perfect with an undeniable vulnerability that stirred Bogart’s heart. Plus, I loved her hats and as a result was inspired to acquire my own collection. Film stars have always excited us, whether by their looks, lives or fashion preferences. Yesterday’s actresses are iconic: Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Lauren Bacall and Lana Turner. Fascinating women with strong personal stories and acting prowess. Sadly, I feel that very few current day actresses can match their stature or exhilarating film presence. But then again, great originals can seldom be replaced… n
“Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world… She walks into mine.”

some time, and fflashes lashes of scarlet packed a punch. It was the skinny ankle-split trousers, however, which Beckham herself wore, that we think will be the bigg hit of SS19.
Burberry “This show is a celebration of the cultures, the traditions an nd the codes of this historic fashion house and o of the eclecticism that makes up the beautifully ddiverse United Kingdom,” said Riccardo Tisci, Burbeerry’s newly appointed chief creatiivve officer. In typically t rebellious Tisci style, the show began with a slew of ladylike pencil and pleated skirts, pussyy-bow blouses and paired-back trench coats, the bait and switch coming in the second half... Modeels on the catwalk during the Burberry SS19 show (Isabel Infantes/P PA) A) T The soundtrack surged and out came a riot of skin-tight zippered miniskirts, corseted c dresses and punky vinyl coats. Judging by the reaction on social media, Burberry purists wereen’t best pleased with the latter but the elegant opeening impressed many.
Julien Ma acdonald If it’s not broke, don’t fix it, they say, y, and that seems to be the mantra m of Julien Macdonald, who returned to the Lond don schedule after a season’s sabbatical. Consequenttly we were treated to the usual all-out glam fest, a parade of glittering, sharp-shouldered gowns and extremely skimpy minidresses. Alongside the usual bllack and silver, there were pops of bright yellow yellow, w, tanggerine and fuchsia - expect to see these colourful crreations on the red carpet once spring rolls aroundd.

COMBINATION APPROACH TO TREATING THE EYE AREA With Frances Furlong
T
here are many characteristics that make eyes more beautiful. Some being natural as we are born with, others may be applied. Among the most obvious natural features are the shape and size of the eyes. Eyes can be anything from near slits, to elongated, almond shaped, rounded, sleepy, puffy, amongst other shapes and also vary in size. At times it is not so much the eye size but more of their size in relation to the face. After that we get all the exquisite possible eye colours, then the length of your eyelashes, the shape and skin tone of your facial eye sockets and finally the shape, size, and curvature of your eyebrows. Which of all these possible combinations are considered more beautiful largely depends on country, culture and fashion.
Common eye problems and possible treatment options 1. Small eyes due to heavy brow - trying to open up the eye area can be achieved with the use of well placed toxins into specific muscles. Furthermore dermal filler such as Restylane can be placed in the brow, temple and lateral forehead to give an non surgical brow lift, results typically last 6-12 months. Prices range from £175 to £600.
Muscle relaxing injections to frown and crows feet
2. Heavy upper eyelids and excessive skintypically this becomes more of an issue as we age, however for some, heavy eyelids is a hereditary feature. In some clients surgical intervention is the best option, often when non surgical treatments have been exhausted or are no longer as effective. In recent times though Plexr Plasma soft surgery has become a popular choice for the right candidate, it is a minor non invasive procedure with roughly a week’s downtime. Treatments typically cost £500, clients normally require two sessions, 3 months apart and last 18 months to 2 years.

3. Dynamic horizontal lines around the eyes and vertical deep lines to the frown - ese issues are caused by the overuse of muscles to the eye area and frowning. ere are not necessarily caused by the ageing process, but rather stronger muscle and lifestyle habits. Staring at computer screens and phones cause our eye muscles to be used more. Also frowning due to thinking, expressing displeasure and as a way of shielding our eyes from strong bright lights are all factors. For some individuals toxins work perfectly, others are better with a light dermal filler, some individuals need a combination of both due to severity of the wrinkles in question. Prices start from £175 - £300. n
Muscle relaxing injections - Before
Treatment of the month Now the summer has gone lots of clients are feeling the affects especially to the back. Not only is it a hard area to treat yourself, it also is prone to mild bacterial outbreaks, congestion, rough dead skin cells and pigmentation. Treat yourself to a back peeling agent to combat all of the above and feel fresher price £150.
A study found that men and women rate a person's eyes more important than other facial features when seeking for a potential partner.

THE DO’S AND DON’TS OF A RHINOPLASTY ( NOSE JOB ) Michelle Harris interviews Mr. Gaurav Kumar, ENT Consultant Surgeon
A
rhinoplasty can be one of the most important decisions of a lifetime. If you’re conscious of your nose, unhappy with its shape, size or tip, can be the cause of much grief, loss of confidence, anger and resentment every time you look in the mirror. But what do you need to consider if contemplating a rhinoplasty? Michelle: Where do you begin to select a surgeon for a nose job? Mr. Kumar: Firstly, it’s important to remember that the nose is far more than just an object on your face. Its primary purpose is to facilitate breathing. But also, who can structure an attractive well-shaped nose? Michelle: Assume it is possible to have a beautiful and functional nose? Mr. Kumar: Absolutely. When considering surgery, to ensure that the specialist operating factors in both the patient’s wish for a perfect (and realistically shaped) nose but also to retain its function and purpose. At worst, you do not want to end up breathing through your mouth for the rest of your life as an alternative to your nose. Michelle: Have you personally, had many patients requiring revision surgery to rectify a rhinoplasty issue? Mr. Kumar: Yes. I would say approximately 10% of my rhinoplasty surgeries are second and revision procedures. is could have been potentially avoided by going to an ENT surgeon in the first instance.

Michelle: How does it work and what is the process? Mr. Kumar: Firstly I will consider the entire face. ere are five symmetrical quadrants; the two ears, area between ear and nose on either side of face, and the fifth quadrant being the nose. It is essential for there to be balance, correct shape to complement the face so the finished result looks natural and absolutely respects the patients’ requirements and objectives. Michelle: How do people feel after their operation? Mr. Kumar: Obviously there is the post-operative recovery time, reduction of swelling and healing but then for most, it’s a new beginning. Most patients are in the 18-25 year group and appearance is very important. For me personally, I feel immense pleasure and pride watching the patient’s journey from somebody who maybe shy and unhappy because of the shape of their nose, to a new person who is infinitely more confident and excited about their future because of their new look. Having a rhinoplasty or indeed any other elective surgery, is a big decision and not one that should be entered into lightly. If considering whether to pursue and wanting to minimise the amount of surgeries that may be needed due to other factors such as potential breathing issues or imbalance, it is absolutely recommended to seek the advice and guidance of an ENT surgeon for a healthy and beautiful nose. n

Mr Michael Gaunt
LOVE YOUR LEGS Ashamed of varicose veins or thread veins? Leading consultant vascular surgeon Michael Gaunt discusses how varicose veins can affect your long-term health and wellbeing.
We
all want to look good and how we care for our vascular health can play a major role in helping us achieve this. You may not initially associate varicose veins with your general health and wellbeing but when you consider that one person in four is affected in some way by varicose veins, it’s clear that simple procedures can make a big difference to a patient’s lifestyle.
Don’t ignore symptoms
Many of us choose to ignore the onset of symptoms, preferring to ‘cover-up and forget’ during the winter months. Sometimes the symptoms develop very slowly over years and you may be unaware that the changes in your legs are due to varicose veins, especially as they may not be particularly prominent or visible in some people.
Symptoms of varicose veins can include: • Aching, tired or heavy feeling in your legs • Painful throbbing, muscle cramping and swelling in your lower legs • Worsened pain after sitting or standing for a long time • Restless legs, especially at night • Persistent leg itching • Bleeding from varicose veins • Ulceration • Skin discolouration around the ankles
Self Help
You may find mild symptoms are helped by raising your legs, by wearing support stockings or regular movement.
Harley Street London Spire Lea & Nuffield Health Cambridge BMI Bury St Edmunds Suffolk Spire Norwich Norfolk
What are the benefits of varicose vein treatment?
You’ll feel more positive about your legs and the unsightly, raised, bobbly varicose veins will be removed, alleviating your symptoms. Your circulation will improve and it should also help prevent further complications that varicose veins may cause. You’ll be glad to hear that modern treatments are minimally invasive and may be performed under local anaesthetic as a walk-in, walk-out procedure. Having treated over 5,000 patients using the minimally invasive Endovenous Laser and ClariVein techniques, I am one of the most experienced surgeons in the UK. Also available is VeinWave treatment for unsightly facial thread veins and spider veins.
‘You’ll feel more positive about your legs and your circulation will improve’ Looking Great
Mini consultations start at £95 to include an initial assessment and potential bespoke treatment options.

Delivered to your Door!
ounded in London, PureStyle of London sells locally sourced, hand poured Reed Diffusers and Scented Candles. They launched in 2018 and have gone on to sell many of their premium products into the UK and beyond.

Pure Style of London has launched the first ever ‘Home Fragrance Club’, offering consumers a new and convenient approach to have personalized home fragrance products delivered all year round. The idea
How did you come up with this idea for your new venture? We have purchased and used reed diffusers and scented candles for the last 20 years but found we always had to compromise on the appearance of the vessel, reeds and fragrances and often forgot to replenish. The ‘Home Fragrance Club’ has been created to simplify the regular purchase of home fragrances. We have combined our consumer product experience with extensive research within the category and started our own company to develop a new and exciting venture for the consumer to enhance the ambiance of their home. What’s the uniqueness of PureStyle of London
product with a choice of different scents, sizes, colours, candles and bottles.

Only high quality, handcrafted, and locally sourced products have been selected to provide natural and beautiful long lasting fragrances, ensuring PureStyle of London products sit alongside the premium brands in the industry. How does the subscription model work for the on-line shopper? The simplicity and convenience of the ‘Home Fragrance Club’ enables the consumer to select and purchase their favorite products from the comfort of their home on www.purestyleoflondon.com, delivered to their chosen address with automatic replenishment on regular intervals. Fully flexible means that the consumer can change their fragrance or reeds and can pause or cancel at any time. PureStyle of London have also created beautiful Gift Sets, available on the website to give to family and friends (or yourself) as a one-time-purchase.
behind Pure Style of London is to combine the fastchanging online shopper dynamics, the convenience of subscription with regular delivery and the growing and exciting home fragrance category to consumers in the UK and abroad.
for the consumer? PureStyle of London’s introduction of its subscription-based model the ‘Home Fragrance Club’ - offering a unique new approach for consumers to personalize their home fragrance

B
lurring the boundary between insiide and out and playing with botanical efffects is a passion for Selina Lake, who revveals her secrets in her new book, Gard den Style: Inspirational Styling For Your Your Out Outsidee Space. “I hope I can inspire people to makee the most of any outside space, and create everyything from an outdoor liiving ving space spac to a garden ro oom or a hideaway, y, and bringg nature nat into decor indo oors,” she says.
Here, Lake shares three looks fro om the book... Create a cosy hideaway “More popular than ever, garden rooms are a useful addition to any space,” says Lake. “Th hey can be used as office spaces, crafting rooms, yoga studios, or places to enjoy a million other acttivities. You can adapt an existing building, suc You such as a large shed, garage or greenhouse, or commission a new pod, cabin or summer house. Perhaps you’d like l the garden room to refflect lect the ggarden and haave a verdant, naturalistic ‘potting shed’ vibe, or you y could opt for something strikingly modern th hat contrasts with the garden that surrounds it. If it’s a contemporary structure - like a glass conservvatory a great way to bring the outside in is by usingg green, the colour of nature, for walls and skirting bo oards. Green glass-bottle vases and faux plants can bring a quirky botanical feel to a sleek modern spacee.” To op Tip: “If you haavve a surplus of bloom ms from your garden, cut them and arrange in galvanized metal buckets filled with water. water Arrange by a doorway or at the bottom of a staircase. It crreates a sense of walking through a flower garden.” Bring the outside in “Bringing flo flowers and foliage in from your garden to enhance your home decor is a simple detaail that makes a big impact, whether you’re in need of o a table centrepiece for a special occasion, a wellcoming display for a hallway table, or something just to bring a smile to your face,” Lake enthuses. “JJoyful pops of vibrant colour from flo flowering springg bulbs are reallyy uplifting,” p g, says y Lake. “When it com mes to arranging flo flowers, I don’t haave any rules as suuch. I like loose, natural-looking posies and am draw wn to colour palettes that I find uplifting and will siit well 5 6 O C TO B E R 2 0 1 8
with my interior.” To op Tip: “I make black and a white copies of vintage botanical prints and use brass bulldog clips to display them on a line ne. I also lo ove empty seed packets, which can be grouped g and used in a decorative way. y.” Perfect the patio “I wanted to create a simple Scandinaavian vian look, so opted for a clean, pared-down palette of black, grey and white, teaming it with natural materials such as wood, rattan and wicker,” explains Lake. “Lush green wisteria foliage and leafy hydrangea, laavender and tobacco plants in zinc containers and dark grey stone pots add scent and interest to my outdoor liiving ving room. I gave ga our tired wooden decking a facelift with black wood stain, and like to dress the sofa and chairs with comfy cushions and throws, just as I do inside.” To op p Tip: p “Be readyy for when the sun ggoes down - an outdoor rug will make a space feel cosier - and hang a cluster of string lights ov overhead and group candle lanterns on a coffee table.”
