Dear ResidentsHopefully, you noticed that the magazineyou’ve been receiving for years, The South-ampton Directory, has a new name; DiscoverHedge End. Last year, I bought into a magazinecalled Discover Meon Valley and became fond ofthe name and logo, as did my business partner,Tania Houston, so we decided to rebrand andlaunch our portfolio of local magazines whichwe realise now makes us the biggest publisher inthe area (see page 47).

However, while we now cover a large area,(97,000 homes and businesses) every magazineis still local to our readers and it’s our advertiserswho will most benefit from the developments.Discover Hedge End will be delivered to 15,000homes and businesses in Hedge End, Westand Botley so all contributions and informationof forthcoming events are welcome. Not for

profit organisations are featuredfree of charge so please visitwww.discovermagazines.co.ukto get in touch or call Tania, thenew editor on 01489 660023.

Southampton sees the open-ing of Sea City Museum on 10 April whichfeatures the Titanic Exhibition so I’ve dedicatedthe What’s On and featured articles on theCentenary of that fateful day (pages 4, 6 & 8).As the story of the Titanic still captures ourimagination, I’m sure the Performing Artsproduction of Pride of the White Star at the BerryTheatre will be worth seeing (see page 12 tobook).

titanic:Read all about it

It is now 100 years since RMS Titanic disappearedbeneath the waves of the Atlantic. Yet publicfascination with the story is as strong as ever. Whyshould this be? You might flick through the pagesof a magazine to get an overview of the high-lights before settling down with a cup of coffee,then that familiar image catches your eye (youcan’t deny it, you just did it) - the stately lines ofthat four-funnelled ocean liner; and that singleevocative word… Titanic.

It’s not as if there is any shortage, unfortunately, ofshipwrecks, before or after this catastrophe. Titanicwas not even the ‘largest’ ship in the world really.This title had already gone to the first of her sisterships, the lesser-known Olympic, which had madeits maiden voyage on 14 June 1911. Their dimen-sions were the same, with a length of 882 feet 9inches and a beam of 92 feet 6 inches. But theTitanic’s displacement tonnage was the greater asa result of internal changes to the original design,so she succeeded her sister on a technicality.

The third and last ship in the ‘Olympic class’,Britannic, was 21 feet longer. This ship struck aGerman mine in the Aegean Sea on21st November 1916

and sank in an almost identical fashion to theTitanic, going down bow first as the forwardcompartments flooded. Watertight doors shouldhave prevented this happening, but film of thewreck, shot in 2004, shows that the doors had beenleft wide open, probably to provide relief from thescorching heat. Britannic had been designed forservice in the somewhat cooler climes of theNorth Atlantic but had been requisitioned by theAdmiralty for use as a hospital ship.

At the time of the collision she was bound for theGreek island of Kea to collect 3,000 casualties somercifully there were no passengers on board.There were, however, 30 fatalities, caused whentwo prematurely- launched lifeboats were suckedinto the blades of a propeller. One of the survivorsof the wrecked lifeboats was nurse Violet Jessop.This lady had also survived the Titanic’s sinking andbeen on board the Olympic when it collided withthe cruiser HMS Hawke on 20 September 1911.I don’t know what became of her after the sinkingof Britannic but I think if I’d had anything to do with

it I would have banned her from further travelwith the White Star Line.

The band played until the very endThis wouldn’t have been possible as the ship waslisting and the band members would have beenunable stay standing upright.

The Titanic was trying to set a speed recordCommunication was not as it is today andarrangements for the arriving passengers would have been madedays or weeks in advance. If they had reached New York ahead ofschedule most of them would have been left standing at the docks.

Third class passengers were locked below deckThere was no attempt to keep third class passengers from getting intothe lifeboats, or to divide potential survivors by class in any way. Thereason relatively few ‘steerage’ passengers survived was partly due tobeing so far from the deck, and partly because many didn’t speakEnglish and wouldn’t have understood the evacuation instructions.

The high number of casualties was due to insufficient lifeboatsWhilst it’s true that there were only enough lifeboat spaces for aroundone third of the passengers, not all the lifeboats were launched. Panicand interference from passengers coupled with not enough skilledmanpower, meant time ran out anyway and the last two lifeboatsfloated off the sinking ship. Indeed the first lifeboat that was launchedhad a capacity of 50 people but had just 12 passengers on board.


18th May 1918, when Captain Hays,while commanding the first (and lastremaining) of the three ships,Olympic, succeeded in rammingand sinking a U-boat, the onlyrecorded case of a merchant shipsinking an enemy warship duringWorld War I. In 1933 Olympiccollided with the Nantucket Light-ship, killing seven of the lightship’screw; yet none of these events is soindelibly written into history as thefate of RMS Titanic.

No doubt the fact that the Titanicsank on her maiden voyage, cou-pled with the ballyhoo of thatoccasion, the huge loss of life andthe subsequent shock waves whichreverberated around the worldserved as a foundation for theongoing intrigue. Another factorcould be the White Star Line’sofficial description of the ships’construction, which concluded’…practically making the vesselunsinkable.’

These five words were seized upon,edited, embellished and misquoteda thousand times after the sinking,giving the impression of it being achallenge to the Almighty; the veryname of the ship an arrogantsuggestion of a rival god. This anglewas exploited in the James Came-ron film Titanic, when Rose’sfiancee, Cal, declares “God Himselfcould not sink this ship”.

Preoccupation with the disaster wasimmediate, with the first of manyfilms portraying the catastrophic

of the ocean this legend will live on, a nebulous memorial to the1,517 men, women and children who perished in the freezingwaters of the Atlantic on the 15th April 1912.

But what would those victims have thought of this remembrance?Would they feel it a fitting tribute? Or do their ghosts look downwith disdain, or disgust, at the morbid vultures picking over theheartbreaking remains of their lives.

In conclusion it has to be said that there is no conclusion; asmemories die they are replaced with memories of memories. Andstories of stories. But probably not another film; how couldanything follow the 1997 blockbuster? This film has grossed inexcess of $2 billion, making the production cost of $200 millionseem insignificant in comparison – a drop in the ocean.

“The Titanic is the largest ship in the world,” said Edward. “This voyage willgo down in history; I don’t understand why you wouldn’t want to be partof it.”

Elizabeth settled into the luxurious upholstery of the Rolls Royce SilverGhost and raised a gloved hand to her face as she yawned. “It isn’t the largestship in the world, it’s the same size as the Olympic. I don’t know what all thefuss is about. And all we’d see of New York is hotel rooms and your boringbusiness friends – the same as last time.”

The novelty of accompanying her husband on his business trips hadlong ago lost its appeal. “You’re even cramming a meeting into the stop atCherbourg, for heaven’s sake, and you’ll only be there for an hour and a half.”

“It’s important that I talk with Pierre face to face, and this is an excellentopportunity; his office is just a short taxi ride from the docks. And it will

save me a round trip of three days if Ihad to go from London.” He returnedhis attention to the pages of the Finan-cial Times as Elizabeth watched theHampshire countryside roll by.

A few hours later she wavedgoodbye to Edward and watched Titanicbeing towed from the dockside. Thenshe turned to the chauffeur: “Take mehome please, Stuart.”

Titanic dropped anchor a few hundredyards from the dockside at Cherbourg.There were no berths large enough toaccommodate such a huge ship so theWhite Star Line had built two tendersespecially to ferry passengers to and fro.As the first of these vessels chuggedacross the short expanse of water

Edward was already waiting at the head of the gangplank, briefcase in hand.He planned to return to the docks in good time. And he would have

done, if the taxi hadn’t got a puncture. He arrived just in time – just in timeto watch Titanic’s departure. He watched as the giant liner, lights blazing,sailed into the dusk.

As the taxi drove him back to the town centre he was already planningthe next day’s business meetings.

Elizabeth had given the servants paid leave, pending her husband’s return.This was something she would often do just lately, an act of generosity whichhe didn’t entirely approve of. Now she stood in the bedroom in hernightdress, studying the list of survivors’ names. Then she scrutinized it moreclosely, reading each name carefully, one at a time. No matter howmany times she read it Edward’s name did not appear in the list.She turned and smiled at the man lounging on the four-poster.“Stuart darling, we’re rich!” she said. Then she heard the key inthe front door.

HOME INTERIORS & PROPERTY SERVICES








Why have several small, dark rooms when you cansimply knock down some walls and live in a gorgeous,airy, bright and huge space? but there are eight keyissues you should bear in mind when decorating youropen-plan home

creating a focal pointWhile traditional rooms often work around a fireplaceor TV, larger, multi-purpose rooms can lack visual focus.By introducing colour, pattern and/or texture on onewall – perhaps above a sofa or behind a dining table –you’ll add character, interest and even drama. Theeasiest solution is to use a strong paint colour or tohang a large painting, photograph or print, while boldlypatterned wallpaper also works well.

Using colourPale colours are generally considered best toemphasise the airiness of large open spaces. But shouldyou go for one shade all over, or choose different

colours for differentareas? Using the samecolour throughout givesan unbroken look andemphasises space, but ifone end of the room is tofunction separately fromthe other – a living anddining space, a living andwork space – you canzone these areas byvarying their colour. Atonal scheme, withcolour going from lightto darker from one endto the other, can beparticularly effective.

Planning your lightingUse lighting to delineate

different areas within your open-plan space, andilluminate different parts to suit your needs, whether it’sa living area or working space, a kitchen or a dining area.Layer in different types of light in different areas, usinga mixture of concealed lighting (in ceilings or undershelves, for example) and eye-catching, over-sizedfixtures that suit the extra-large space.

choosing a floorChoosing flooring for a multi-purpose space such asan open-plan cooking/dining/living area can be tricky,as the kitchen area needs to be able to cope withsplashes and spills, while you’ll want the sitting area to

feel cosy and comfortable. You have two choices: eitherrun the same flooring throughout for a sleek, flowinglook, or choose a variety of types of flooring which willdifferentiate between areas. If you go for the formeroption, consider stone or wood, both of which can besoftened with rugs where necessary, or consider highquality vinyl, which is spill-proof and forgivingunderfoot.

Separating spacesNot all open-plan spaces need to be entirely open allof the time, so for truly flexible living it’s advisable toinclude some sort of flexible division. In a periodproperty, panelled doors that can be folded backagainst the walls when not in use are perfect; in a moremodern house a moveable screen, or perhaps ceiling-mounted panels (on a track) that can be pulled to oneside when desired, would be enormously useful.

linking spacesOpen-plan kitchen/living areas are ideal forentertaining, but how do you successfully blend thespaces seamlessly? One solution is to continue the style

open

sesametaking a look at open plan living

santafeshutters.co.uk

thefabricbox.co.uk



of your kitchen units for storage used innearby areas, choosing a design that looksas good for a TV stand, say, as for a cutlerydrawer. Versatility is key and you shouldconsider not just colour but also texture,and even handles – long, slender handlestend to look better in modern living spacesthan dumpy round ones, for example.

Solutions for storageKnocking two rooms together gives you agorgeous open area – but, because you’velost wall space for cupboards and shelves,much less room to hide your clutter. Onesolution is to use tall, open shelving thatdoubles as a room divider as well assomewhere to display your stuff, while ifyou have a flat-screen TV, mount it on amedia wall with storage for DVDsconcealed behind it. In fact, make the most of every tiny corner, building storage into sloping ceilings, aroundwindows or in any alcove you can find.

buying and arranging furnitureConventional furniture won’t necessarily have the right proportions to work well in open-plan living areas, so youmay have to look for larger-than-average pieces, and bear in mind that they have to look good from all angles,not just the front. Avoid the temptation to place all the furniture around the edges of the room (it will look like anursing home); instead, create cosy sitting areas within the main space – with two sofas facing each other, withtables and lamps behind, perhaps, or else use modular furniture which creates sociable corners.

health experts advise that naturalalternatives to over-the-counterpain relief are often the bestsolution. Julie Penfold looks atnatural pain relief options forcommon health complaints.

It’s an instant reaction for so manyof us when pain first strikes; wesimply take something to relieveour symptoms. Popping a pill isfrequently our default setting andour usual answer is to take parace-tamol, ibuprofen or aspirin to relievesymptoms – the most popular over-the-counter pain-killers.

The main pain-killing ingredient inaspirin is salicylic acid, which isfound naturally in the herbs willowbark, poplar and meadowsweet.While willow bark and poplar areonly available via a herbalist,meadowsweet can be found in natural health stores.Meadowsweet can be drank as a tea and is veryeffective at tackling pain fast, says natural medicinepractitioner, Susse Wedel. “For general pain-killinguse, ginger, turmeric and cayenne pepper are verygood options. You can ingest these by adding to ahot water drink or sprinkling on food as and whenrequired,” adds Susse.

Tackling headachesFor headaches brought on by stress or tension, theherb rosemary is Susse’s top tip for relieving nervoustension, and just inhaling the aroma can help to easetension. Rosemary essential oil can also be rubbeddirectly onto the temple for instant relief. Lavenderand chamomile are two of the best relaxation herbsaround and are a super option for easing headachepain. As stress headaches are commonly caused bya constriction of blood vessels in the head, rosemaryand lavender can help to ease this pressure. Theseherbs are all available as herbal teas and are equallyeffective when consumed as a drink. Herbs which

have an affinity to thehead tend to have ahigh content of calcium,magnesium and potass-ium, which are all naturallypowerful against head-ache pain. For migrainesufferers, ginkgo can helpto provide relief frompainful symptoms. Drink-ing plenty of water andcutting out stimulants inthe diet such as caffeinateddrinks, sugar, tobacco andchocolate can also help, asthese foods can triggermigraines, as well asprolonging them.

Muscle StrainAdding several handfuls offresh thyme to a bath can

be an effective alternative to over-the-counter painrelief for muscle strain, as thyme eases both muscularand rheumatic pain. St John’s Wort oil and rosemaryoil can also help to ease muscular aches and pains.Foods containing magnesium such as wholegrains,bananas, spinach, broccoli, tofu, nuts, seeds, beansand pulses can also assist in minimising painfulflare-ups.

Menstrual PainGinger helps to relax the uterine muscles and stopspainful cramps, spasms and contractions. Drinking aginger herbal tea, or creating your own tea by gratingginger and adding to hot water, can provide fast relieffrom severe period pain. As an additional tip, Susserecommends topping up with hot water regularlyas this renews the active pain-killing propertiesand provides longer relief. Raspberry leaf tea isalso effective for balancing hormones, relaxingmuscles and relieving menstrual cramps. To easebloating and pre-menstrual tension symptoms, Susserecommends yarrow tea.

GARDENING

growing your own peppers is not muchmore involved than growing tomatoes, sowhy not give it a try? Pepper plants can beunbelievably pretty too, with fruits in arange of shapes and colour, generally oncompact plants and preceded by smalland very pretty white flowers. This isa plant with great ornamental aswell as edible potential.

Both chilli and sweet – or bell –peppers can be grown in agreenhouse border, in a sunny spotin the garden in warmer parts of the country, or ona sunny, sheltered spot on the patio. The heavier,earlier crop will come if you grow the plants in agreenhouse or conservatory, but it is well worthgrowing them outside too.

Sweet peppers, especially the red ones, are very highin vitamin A and both red and green peppers are alsovery high in vitamin C. Chilli peppers also have agood supply of vitamins C and A and in addition,contain both beta-carotene and something calledcapsaicin which is believed to have a useful effecton blood cholesterol levels.

The seeds are readily obtainable from manycatalogues or garden centres but make sure youtake into account the level of heat that each typedelivers. Most seed packets and catalogues domake it very clear.

Sow the seeds between now and earlyApril. I use a multi-purpose or a seedcompost, but for good germination youwill need to provide a bit of extra warmth,ideally from a heated propagator posit-ioned in a spot where it receives plenty ofnatural light. If you don’t have the time orfacilities to raise your own from seed, you canalways buy a few plants in a garden centre or sendoff for them. We offer two tasty varieties as part ofmy ‘Grow Your Own with Pippa Greenwood’ system(see www.pippagreenwood.com for details).

Keepthe plants a

tiny bit drier thanyou would a tomatoplant and feed regularly with a high-potash liquidfeed (most readily available as a ‘tomato food’). Thishelps to keep the plants growing strongly and thepotash will encourage plenty of flowers and so fruitsto form.

If you are going for plants in pots, choose a planterthat has good drainage and is 30cm (12in) or morein diameter, adding broken pots for extra drainage.Once there is no danger of late frosts you can putthem outside in a sheltered, sunny spot.

If you’re after the hottest possible heat from yourchilli peppers, then you’ll find this comes

from fruits that are totally ripe andfrom peppers that are grown in

warmer conditions.

If you are growing sweet peppersin patio pots then you are likely tofind that there are still someunripened fruits on the plants

when temperatures start to fall atthe end of summer and well into

autumn. To increase the chances ofthese ripening and increasing to full size, move thepots to a warmer spot or, if possible, to a porch,conservatory or greenhouse where they’ll get extrawarmth and also plenty of natural light.

GARDENING

If you want chillies that look particularly good onthe patio there are plenty to choose from. ‘BlackPearl’ is a hot chilli pepper with a distinct blackishtinge to the mature leaves and fruits that are blackearly on and mature darkest red. For classic chillis

with bright red, finger shaped fruits try ‘ThaiDragon’.

BY SOLANGE HANDO

Madeira means ‘wood’, a name given to the island bythe first Portuguese settlers in the 15th century,though they promptly burnt as much of the forest asthey could to create arable land. Today the trees areback, 900,000 of them planted over past decades, andas you approach this rugged but fertile island,dizzying slopes greet you with lush terraces wheremango and banana groves compete with vineyards,passion fruit and papaya trees.

Pretty as a postcardFunchal, the capital, is a neat maze of tree-linedavenues with mosaic pavements, shaded squares andoutdoor restaurants sweeping around a glistening bay.On these south-facing slopes, life is relaxed and there’stime to wander around the farmers’ market, the steeplanes draped in wisteria, the marina, or look out for theBeatles Boat turned into a restaurant, the statue ofZarco, the explorer who first set foot on the island, orthat of Christopher Columbus who married a local girl.Some 2000 feet above the sea, the leafy suburb ofMonte offers superb views, fragrant gardens and aniconic church where on August 15th, penitents go upthe steps on their knees. Visitors prefer the cable-carbut the fun way down is the toboggan, Madeiran-style,careering down the slope in a giant wicker basket,

swung right and left by two handsome guys in whitegear and straw hats.

Just 36 miles by 14 miles in the Atlantic, closer to Africathan to Portugal, the motherland, this little gem of anisland is surprisingly varied. All along the coast, rocksand cliffs tower dramatically above small pebblebeaches pounded by the ocean. Experienced surfershead north to ride the waves but Funchal has gentleoptions, from coastal and dolphin-watching trips to aromantic twilight cruise on Santa Maria de Colombo, astylish replica of Christopher Columbus’ boat. Otherssail around the Desert Isles, home to wild goats, sealsand thousands of sea birds while the ferry sets off forthe more distant sister island of Porto Santo and its fivemiles of golden sands.

Back on the main island, small towns and villages arescattered along the shore, Camara de Lobos with itsfishermen’s chapel and wooden boats, Calheta and itssugar plant making ‘firewater’, Porto Moniz with itsbathing pools hollowed out of an old lava flow orMachico where Zarco is said to have landed. Not so faraway, Torch Mountain recalls the great bonfires ofthe past, warning of approaching pirates, while theworld’s second highest sea cliff, Cabo Girao, rises to astaggering 1900 feet and the windswept easternpeninsula stretches into the ocean, shared by theoccasional lizard and a handful of seasoned walkers.

Walking on Madeira is exhilarating and pleasant yearround. Popular footpaths follow the levadas, theancient irrigation channels still used to bring water fromthe humid but sparsely inhabited north to the richfarmlands of the south, with a network of over 800miles. There are leisurely trails through the ancientlaurel forest of the National Park covering two thirds ofthe island, past gurgling streams and waterfalls, picnicspots and panoramic ‘balconies’ suspended betweenheaven and earth. But most challenging of all is themountainous interior and the fabulous but head-spinning hike from Pico de Areiro to Pico Ruivo, thehighest peak towering above a dramatic moonscapeat over 6000 feet.

Some time ago I was ruminating in a slightlymelancholy vein about what life would be like asempty-nesters. Would my wife and I be a bit sad? Abit lonely? Would we miss our little chickadees?

Well, no we won’t. Because they’re NOT GOING!

We always knew we’d be stuck with the boy, whohas started tech. But what I didn’t realise (admittedly,because I never listen) is that he’s only going threedays a week. Further, he’s studying music techn-ology, so his homework seems to be very loudindeed. When I was his age I did try my best to makeas much noise with my music as he manages withhis, but since I was stuck with the discarded familyDansette while he seems to have the equivalent ofThe Who’s PA system I failed to make quite as muchimpact as he does. Also, the music of my teens wasslightly more melodic than the thumpy stuff hisgeneration favours – rock’n’roll may not be noisepollution, but dubstep most certainly is.

both are staying!Then we learnt that the girl isn’t going either. She wasone grade off her first choice, but was offered a placefor next year – yeah, that’s right, when the fees goup – and rather than settle for her second choice shedecided to take a gap year. So, is she off backpackingaround the Far East? No. She’s taking her gap yearat home, that’s what. At least she’s not asnoisy as he is, but we’re stilllumbered with the pair ofthem.

Well, I suppose it’squite nice really,having them arou-nd the place. I’mkind of used tothem, in a way, andthere’ll certainly bea big them-shapedhole in our lives whenthey finally do go. Inthe meantime, thou-gh, Dad’s Taxis is not

going into liquidation, and the home laundry serviceremains as gargantuan an enterprise as ever.

business expansionIn fact Dad’s Taxis seems to be expanding. The boyis supposed to take a ludicrously early bus in themorning for his hour-and-a-half journey intocollege, which seems a ridiculous amount of time fora 20-mile trip. Not surprisingly, he doesn’t alwaysmake it, and as he has to be there by 9am, that meansthe dog is still waiting to be walked by the time thetaxi-driver arrives back. So that’s an hour off theworking day for starters.

In her case, it’s job interviews. Although the town Ilive in has some 30,000 souls it doesn’t seem to haveanything in the way of facilities, not even a job centre.Nor does it have any buses, or at least none of themseem to go where we want them to, and thetimetables appear to have been devised by someonewho thinks that while everybody wants to flee thetown, nobody wants to come back. Or not on thesame day that they left, at any rate. So it’s Dad’s Taxisto the rescue, and more hours lopped off theworking day.

When my generation came to this point in our lives,we were simply taught to drive and bought an oldbanger (a pale-blue Ford Anglia, in my case). But

things have changed, and not forthe better. We took one lookat how much it would cost toinsure them to learn to drive

with us and turned deathlypale. And that’sbefore paying fordriving lessons(that’s the draw-

back with twins –double bubble!) andthen insuring themonce they pass. You’dhave to be a million-aire. And we’re not.

So Dad’s Taxis it is.
