Residents in Somerset and North Somerset have three new – and very different - buildings at their disposal, thanks to two years of hard work from major contractor, BAM Construction.

BAM has completed Blackbrook Pool in Taunton, a new secure healthcare facility in Wellington, and the new North Somerset Enterprise and Technology College (NSETC) in Weston-super-Mare.

Collectively the new buildings represent around £40 million of investment in the leisure, health and education sectors.

“These are very different buildings in design and use. A leisure building such as Blackbrook Pool is going to be used by the local community both young and old, while a modern education establishment like NSETC needs to be quite high-tech because children learn in a totally different way now to how my generation did. Even more different is our secure mental health building for Montpelier Estates in Wellington, because the tranquility and care required for treating mental illness is a totally separate concept. These very distinct construction challenges can only be met by a skilled and experienced workforce, with a well-developed local supply chain.”

Nick Goff

BAM’s Regional Director for the Western Region

BAM has now been based in its current Bristol headquarters for over 50 years and has developed a supply chain across each county within the West Country and South Wales. The company has delivered a stream of buildings within the county in recent years. These include the Arts House for Somerset College, the Performing Arts Centre for Bridgwater College, Taunton Academy, The Jubilee Building at Musgrove Park Hospital, and two new high schools in Bridgwater, Chilton Trinity and Robert Blake and Elmwood.

The company has two new schemes starting for Kingfisher Primary School in Lufton, and a headquarters office scheme for the UK Hydrographic Office in Taunton.

“Our local people and knowledge is complemented by a depth of experience across the UK and across the world. Our success is based around our non-contractual, collaborative and problem-solving culture, which is not always common in the construction sector. This is one factor behind our success in Somerset and our record turnover for 2015.”

Nick Goff

BAM’s Regional Director for the Western region

Mission: For New Dudhsagar

1. Captain Virander [Specializes in cracking AHDEPJ (Absolutely Horrible, Disgusting and Extremely Poor Jokes) every 3 mins]
2. Agent Hiren [Specializes in making animal sounds. Whenever a dog barks or cow moos, Agent Hiren will always answer back!]
3. Agent Sonali [Specializes in walking for 10 minutes and posing for the next 20 mins]
4. Agent Raja [Specializes in saying ‘Oh man’ in every sentence and collecting random stuff from railway tracks]
5. Agent Ankit [Specializes in capturing all the drama and action of the team, except when he is hungry]
6. Agent Sreemoyee [Specializes in getting freaked out by every damn thing in the universe and believing in the weirdest superstitions]

It all started with Sonali's hair. She had applied eggs and all that morning so it was extremely silky and I could not stop playing with it. The guys made fun of us and cracked stupid jokes but they had no idea what an important role Sonali’s hair would play in the next two days...

Ears, Eye brows and Cheeks: After a super tasty dinner of Aloo paathas and cakes, there was a hilarious competition of facial movements. While I proudly showed off my talent of moving ears, Sonali took it to the next level by raising her eye brows one after the other. Hiren turned out to be the most talented one as he could move one ear at a time! In the mean time Viru was trying his best to take part in the competition. He gave intense expressions and kept on asking ‘mere kaan hil raha hain kya?’ but failed miserably. As the chit-chat continued, I had casually mentioned that I believe in a stupid superstition according to which, if u get slapped in one cheek you won’t get married. So, in order to get married you have to ask the person to slap you in the other cheek also! (This was the biggest mistake I made in this trek). As you can guess, my lovely friends made sure I was slapped on one cheek for the next two days. Anyway, by this time Raja had already yawned 50 times and Ankit was giving 'Guys-Shut up-And-Go-to-Bed’ looks, so we decided to call it a day.

Feeling and Seeing Doodhsagar (DS): My day started with abusing Viru as he was happily slapping me on one cheek to wake me up. Soon the entire gang was up and the usual leg pulling and pushing started. The train reached Londa on time and like last time, we had a lovely breakfast of vada pav and idly. With a happy and full stomach, Ankit got the camera out of his bag. And bas...click click click...

Last time we had taken a train to Castle Rock from Londa and walked till Doodhsagar from there onwards. But the new plan was to reach DS directly and proceed towards Qulem. The moment the train left Londa we forgot all our worries and were transported into an enchanting world of lush green hills, clear blue sky, numerous waterfalls and dark tunnels.
Except Ankit all of us had gone to DS earlier with separate groups and hence, heated discussion started on which group had got better views...Raja, Hiren and Sonali had gone together and argued that even though they did not get clear view they ‘FELT’ the furious water force of DS. On the other hand, I stated that even though I did not feel the force, I ’SAW’ the falls. While this ‘Seeing vs. Feeling’ debate was going on, we reached DS and all fell silent. The majestic waterfall welcomed us once more. We forgot the debate and enjoyed it together this time. Around 50 photos were clicked in a span of 5 mins. Being bhookars, we had a second breakfast of bread-omelette and chai.

Raja at his best: Then the trek began.  Railway tracks presented us variety of shit once again. As there was no tension of reserving spot for pitching tent, we walked in medium pace clicking numerous pics, playing antakshari with random groups, cracking jokes and of course, Viru kept slapping me one cheek! Meanwhile Raja found a fancy pair of shades on the rail trek and happily claimed it. Poor guy had a hard time for the next few hours as he was teased badly whenever we spotted any discarded material on the track (slippers, clothes, bottles etc).  In no time we reached Sonalium and the forest trail began. There is something special about this trail which, like last time, made people sing. Hiren and Sonali were lead singers and sang a variety of songs. Raja joined only when they were singing ‘Sun raha hain na tu’ (something’s fishy!). It was followed by a short training session of bengali abusive words. All of them took keen interest in learning bong galis. Soon the forest trail came to an end and again the rail trek began. Hiren and I were sharing funny stories of our experiences with drunk people when suddenly Raja spotted a trail running parallel to the railway track leading to the dudhsagar river! (I am not sure whether it’s really called doodhsagar river).
Water water everywhere:  We all got really curious, left behind the familiar railway track and walked towards the river. It was beeaaauutifuul!!! The water was green yet clean, the river bed was full of pebbles which added to the beauty. And the best part was there were no body else except the six of us. The guys immediately jumped into the water. Sonali and I were in two minds. Finally I decided to join the guys while Sonali chose to be the photographer. Being a fattu, I could not rule out the possibility of snakes and hence made myself comfortable in shallow water where I could see underneath. The guys were having a blast. They behaved like 13 year olds, screaming, shouting, pushing, splashing and what not. There was another competition of holding breath under water for longest time, which Hiren won (This was his second win after facial movement competition). In the mean time Sonali was doing an excellent job with the camera. Her continuous encouragement made the guys pose like models shooting for 2015 kingfisher calendar! The photo shoot was definitely dominated by Ankit, who posed in at least 50 different ways. After spending an hour or so we again got back to our original rail trail. In another 30 minutes we reached chota doodhsagar and again back to water!! We made a pact that nobody would urinate and comfortably sat in one of those natural Jacuzzis. Suddenly Raja excused himself and we thought he had gone to attend nature’s call. However, he returned with a packet of spicy cornflakes chips! We could not have asked for more. I do not know how to describe those moments. In one word, Happiness!

The Haunted House: By the time we reached Qulem we were starving. After filling up our stomach with garma garm chapati, mix veg and dal fry, we took a jeep to reach our final destination- Tambi Surla temple. The journey was through forest. The scenery was so beautiful that even Viru kept his mouth shut and enjoyed the view. In another 45 minutes we reached the spot. We took the number of the jeep wala bhaiya and asked him to pick us up at 2:30 next day as there was no network coverage. Once he left, we checked the surrounding areas to find a place to pitch our tents. It was around 5 pm. There were two cars parked but no people around. The temple was nowhere to be seen. However, there was an abandoned house inside the jungle. I did not want to go there, for obvious reasons. To my horror, the guys started walking towards the house and asked me to follow them. By this time, I had already started chanting hanuman chalisa (for those who do not know, hanuman chalisa is a mantra which protects you from spirits and ghosts). The door was open and the guys entered first. I could see from outside that they seemed pretty happy and excited and asked us to come inside. Now, you already know that I am a highly superstitious person. The moment I tried to enter, my bag got stuck to the door knob. My heart skipped a bit. It was a bad omen, a sign from universe to not enter the house. It was dark and filthy inside. There were paper plates scattered all over. We went to the so called master bedroom. The plan was to spend the night there. To be very honest, I was freaking out. I have grown up watching Aahat and other horror shows. 6 friends, dense jungle, abandoned house, night time – what else do you need to invite ghosts??????
But the worst part is yet to come. Viru suddenly pointed out in a different direction and guess what was written there in blood: “Main kal phir se ayungi / I will come again tomorrow”!!!!!! My instinct told me to run away but these guys kept on joking. They tried to convince me that it was a prank played by some people and that it was red paint and not blood. In my mind, I started thinking about home, my parents, will they ever find my body etc etc…

It does not stop here. We kept our luggage inside and went out to check the area properly. We saw two people near the cars and assumed that they had come to visit the temple. They looked a little nervous. On asking we got to know that their other friends were missing!!!! They had searched everywhere but could not find their friends. I could not take it anymore. It was too much to handle for me. I told my friends that I was freaking out and would not be able to stay inside the house. They understood my situation (I think they could make out that I was about to cry) and finally pitched our tents outside on a bridge. Phew!!!!

Mature and Immature Talk: My mind was finally at peace. We were camping on a bridge and could hear the stream below. The other two guys had also managed to find their missing friends who were inside the temple. Dinner was cup noodles, knorr soup and cup cakes for dessert. Soon we were engaged in a very serious conversation about aliens. We all shared our firm belief in existence of aliens. However, before going deeper into the topic, Sonali suggested that we stop this immature conversation about aliens and paranormal stuff and do some mature talk. We agreed and the ‘mature topic’ for night was funny experiences of errrr….passing gas and attending nature’s call!! For privacy reasons, I would not go into the detailed stories but all I could say is that there have been very few moments in my life where I have laughed this much!!!

The Massage Train: Soon we started yawning and felt sleepy. However, Sonali and Hiren were in no mood to sleep so early. Ankit went inside his tent and the rest of us went inside Hiren and Raja’s tent as it was the biggest. As I have already mentioned, Sonali’s hair was extremely silky and whenever I got an opportunity I started playing with it. I gave sonali a head massage, Sonali gave me a back massage. Now the guys started feeling jealous and did not like to be left out. And that’s how it started. Soon we formed a massage train. I was massaging Viru’s head, while he massaged Sonali’s shoulder, while she massaged Hirens back, while he massaged Raja’s head. It was lovely. We tried to make weird sounds as less as possible, but it was so daaaamn relaaaaaxing…At around 1 am we went back to our respective tents and slept like logs.

Into the Wild: The next morning we found out how beautiful the place actually was. Our tents were on a cute little bridge. Clear stream was flowing below and dense jungle all around. The Tambi Surla temple was few metres away and from early morning few people started visiting. A small shop had opened also from where we bought water and bananas. Since Viru was having a very serious conversation about life’s philosophy with the monkeys, they spotted the bananas and took all of them. The plan was to trek to Tambi Surla Waterfall. It was a 1-1.5 hour trek through dense forest. Just before entering the jungle, Hiren sneezed and Ankit very sweetly pointed it out to me that it was again a bad sign from universe. I tried to ignore it as much as possible and the trek began. The forest was extremely silent and I had a feeling that there were dark creatures who were watching us silently. We had to cross several small streams. At times we had to bend right to pass through a narrow space, sometimes left, sometimes even crawl!! It was fantastic and definitely one of my most thrilling forest trails ever. We did not talk much and kept a close watch on surroundings. Viru, who was leading the team, seemed to have an excellent eye for spider webs. He would randomly stop at a place, use a stick to remove a web and then pass. Had it been me, we all would have become spider men and women as I could not locate the webs at all. After 45 minutes or so, we got used to the dense forest and were enjoying the walk thoroughly. But then I saw it…out of nowhere a deadly red coloured viper jumped on the rock where I was about to place my foot. I ran…
I don’t really know what happened next. I was standing far far faaaar away from the snake and praying, while the others were trying to deal with the situation as the snake had blocked our way. With all due respect, the snake turned out to be very stubborn. It did not want to move. In fact, it was ready to attack. For a minute, we considered turning back. But then, it moved a little and gave us little but enough space to pass. Walking through that narrow space, with a deadly snake just a foot away was perhaps one of the most ‘toofani’ things I have ever done. Suddenly the trail became uphill and we reached the waterfall soon. Strategically hidden inside dense jungle, the waterfall felt like treasure!! Nobody could have guessed that there was such a huge and lovely waterfall inside such thick forest. However, before we could enjoy it we had to go through another ordeal. We suddenly realized that we were standing in an area infested with leeches. These tiny little blood suckers were all over us. Yukkk! We removed them as fast as possible and moved to a dry space. The water was flowing in steps. We chose a safer step and went into the water. It felt like a well deserved prize from nature for successfully dealing with deadly spiders, leeches and the red viper. This feeling was different from that of chota doodhsagar and doodhsagar river. Those spots were also secluded, but this Tambi Surla waterfall is unique. It felt far. Far faaaaar away from our camping spot, far away from Bangalore, far away from civilization. Just the 6 of us in the lap of nature.

For some reason, I felt braver after the bath. However, I did not get a chance to show off my bravery and safely came back in an hour or so. There were around 35 leech bites in total. We were extremely happy as our trail-finding mission was successful!

After freshening up we visited the Shiva temple. It was very pretty and dates back to 12th century. We had planned to take a photo where all of us would be wearing the BTC shirt/pullover. The guys very innocently requested an extremely pretty lady to take that final photo (and acted as if they did not do it on purpose). Soon our jeep arrived and we were on our way to Qulem.

Home bound: Again we had a grand lunch there and boarded our train to Londa. On the return journey, Sonali gave extremely helpful tips to Ankit on how to talk to your potential bride. Raja and Hiren took a small power nap while Viru kept on cracking AHDEPJs! While waiting for our next train to Bangalore we started looking at the photos. We searched for the pics where somebody had a weird/funny expression and had a good laugh. There was a feedback session where it was unanimously agreed that this Tambi Surla trail is way better than the original DS trail and that from next year onwards BTC would start organizing treks here. We finally boarded our Bangalore bound train and again, for one last time, formed the massage train! Our co-passengers definitely thought we were nuts!

All’s well that ends well. And it’s even better when you get Dharwadh ka pedha unexpectedly! Thanks to Hiren who got down at the station and got it for us. We reached Bangalore on time next day and as usual, Monday blues. On top of that, I got one last slap on one cheek from Viru!

2015 Monsoons, please be nice and come soon!

Blue shows through

Acrylic on canvas
12 x 14 inches
Barbara Muir © 2012

Underpainting in Blue

I went to my art group figure night tonight and was
delighted to see this young woman posing.  She is
a student at OCAD I believe, our local art college/turned
university.  The look of astonishment on her face
may be because she was asked to pose so severely,
straight back, sitting up.  But I like the expression --
so much feeling in an otherwise, young, happy

I painted her on a mostly blue ground done with
palette knife.  As time was short it was lucky
that the blue was exactly the colour of her blouse.
Fooling around with my friends at the club is
always a pleasure, and tonight everyone was in
great good spirits.

Have a making-your-friends-laugh day.

The comfort of the model always shows doesn't it, you have captured her discomfort well. fun to work with palette knife... I have just begun some paintings, where i'm experimenting with thicker paint, and the palette knife is getting a workout.

Nicki said...

Lovely job- I am always amazed how you can capture so much so quickly at these painting sessions.

Barbara Muir said...

Hi Sally,

I'd like to try palette in oil, but
that's a whole set up I'm not quite ready for. I had been practicing a palette knife sky, because a friend might want an abstract sky painting.
I painted over it with brushes, but it made a super ground.

XO Barbara

Hi Nicki,

There's something about a live model that always inspires me. Then there's the freedom of the result not mattering. Plus painting beside great painters -- the charge is catching. Thanks so much. I love your current series. I'm blown away by your dedication and productivity.

Donna-Lee's Barefoot Story

My Barefoot journey began more than a decade ago. My child quickly became a fan of the Barefoot Books singalongs. The Animal Boogie and Creepy Crawly Calypso were our first favorites. Our family grew and so did our collection of Barefoot Books. I became excited to share these diverse and inclusive books with other families in my community and started my own business as a Barefoot Books Ambassador. The journey has been truly rewarding as I have had the opportunity to introduce more families to these timeless and beautifully illustrated stories.

MLB Endcaps: Who was the first player younger than you to play in MLB, and the last player older than you to play in the MLB?

Older Player Endcap: This is not just the oldest active player ever. For example, Jason Giambi is not the oldest player to ever play a game. He played until he was 43. He was born on January 8, 1971. But, if you were born on June 6, 1971, Giambi was the last player older than you to play in the majors.
If there are still active players older than you, we just tell you who the oldest one is (Hi Bartolo).

Younger Player Endcap: This is not the youngest player to ever play. This is the first player to get in a game who was younger than you were on that day.
For example: Josh Beckett is younger than CC Sabathia. But CC made it to the majors before Beckett did, so if you were born on March 22, 1980, CC is your Endcap, not Beckett.

With spring in the air and sultry summer temps just around the corner, it's high time to coax dull, lifeless skin out of hibernation and get back your glow! Of course, we all know by now that staying hydrated to help flush out toxins, getting adequate sleep and eating clean are essential to beautiful skin--but what about that glow? Actually, there's an ancient word for this radiance. In Sanskrit, ojas (pronounced oh-jas) means vitality, and can be obtained in part by food and lifestyle. What does this have to do with your skin? Nurturing your body's largest organ means careful consideration to what you apply over your face and body before it gets absorbed. Did you know skin is the largest digestive organ after the digestive tract? So before you reach for that funky smelling bottle of self-tanner with a long list of chemicals that could seep into your bloodstream, check out these healthy ingredient recipes you can add to your grocery list that will guarantee your head to toe glow... naturally!

Moisten 1 tsp. almond powder (purchase or grind a handful of almonds) with 1/2 tsp. buttermilk to form a paste. Apply a thin layer to face and gently massage using small circular motions. Rinse clean before mixture begins to dry.

Moisten with avocado oil for dry skin, or grapeseed oil for oily skin.

Schedule yourself at an-home all natural fruit peel to remove those dead skin cells with these food items that contain natural alpha-hydroxy acids and gentle exfoliating enzymes.

Green Papaya or Pineapple Peel: Puree in a blender with honey or rub a cut slice over face and neck avoiding the eye area. Leave on for 5 minutes then rinse with warm water and moisturize.

*Natural still means effective so tingling and itching will occur. Remove if sensations become uncomfortable.

Mix 1 tsp. almond oil, 1 drop of chamomile essential oil, and 5 drops rosewater. Massage gently onto face and neck.

For sensitive or reddish complexions, use jojoba oil and geranium essential oil. Oily complexions should use sesame oil and lemongrass essential oil.

Lunchtime Moisture Mask

Don't let your next leftover half an avocado go brown! Mash it up instead with 1 tbsp. coconut milk, 1 tsp. honey and coconut oil each dissolved together, and puree. Apply this rich paste like paint with a brush onto skin and remove when dry, after about 15 minutes.

Ubtan Face Masks

Make this traditional Indian beauty ritual used by brides-to-be in India for glowing skin on their wedding day part of your go-to beauty routine!

Basic Ubtan The basic ubtan recipe combines a flour, oil, and liquid. Modify legume flours for skin type. Mix a paste from ingredients as follows: 2 tbsp. chickpea flour, milk, fenugreek powder, and rosewater. Apply until dried, and then remove with warm water.

Use red lentil flour for oily skin, and mung flour for dry skin.

Turmeric Brightening

Mix dry ingredients as follows: 2 tbsp. gram (chickpea) flour, 1 tbsp. sandalwood powder, 1-2 tbsp. lemon juice, 1/4 tsp. turmeric and honey to make a paste. Apply for 20 minutes then remove with warm cloth and rinsing.

*Lemon juice reacts to sunlight so don't forget the SPF when going out after application.

*Turmeric will stain so take care to protect clothing and towels. To remove any excess from face, swab with a cotton ball dipped in coconut or castor oil.

Lustrous Hair

Shiny tresses have long been associated with vitality and health, and while you may not be ready to ditch your favorite shampoo in favor of something au natural, oiling the hair and scalp will bring on the shine no matter your mane concerns! The added benefit of a head and scalp massage will increase circulation to hair follicles and leave your neck muscles deeply relaxed, promoting a good night's sleep.

Warm some sesame oil (dry hair), coconut oil (thin hair), sesame or olive oil (thick hair) over a bowl of hot water and use your fingertips to slowly massage different areas of the scalp and work through the length of your hair from the root. Leave in for at least 30 minutes, can stay in overnight if you wish--don't forget to protect your pillow with a towel. Apply shampoo directly to dry hair before wetting for more effective oil removal when washing.

For a lighter, daily treatment, take a coin-size amount of oil and work through the length of damp hair, focusing just on the ends. Style as usual.

Ancient Beauty Secrets

Ghee: For a chemical-free makeup remover, just add a couple of drops of Vitamin E oil to 2 tbsp. ghee (clarified butter available at your grocery or health store). On its own, apply ghee as a nighttime eye cream before sleeping!

Castor Oil: Rich in triglycerides, this is the perfect grooming cream to replace your pomade with for eyebrows and lashes. It's rich sheen will give a dewy glow to your eye makeup!

Camellia cuspidata Veitch

Modern name

Camellia cuspidata (Kochs) Bean

Thea cuspidata Kochs

An evergreen bush 6 ft high, of erect, rather slender habit when young; young shoots glabrous. Leaves glabrous, narrow to broad elliptic or lanceolate-elliptic, rounded or wedge-shaped at the base, tapered gradually to a long, slender apex; 118 to 313 in. long, 58 to 1 in. wide; finely and shallowly toothed (the teeth gland-tipped); polished, dark, sometimes purplish green above; paler and covered with minute dots beneath; stalks 18 to 16 in. long, hairy at the margins. Flowers solitary at the end of short twigs or in the leaf-axils; pure white, 112 in. across; pedicels 18 in. long with four bracteoles; calyx of five green triangular sepals 12 in. across. Stamens erect in a dense cluster, 58 in. long; anthers yellow. Bot. Mag., t. 9277.

Native of W. China; introduced by Wilson to Veitch’s Coombe Wood nursery in 1900. It is a bright-leaved hardy evergreen, with copper-tinted young leaves; it is not in the first rank as a flowering shrub, although quite pretty when well in flower. In cultivation it may reach a greater height than the 6 ft given in the description; Sir Giles Loder has it over 12 ft high at Leonardslee in Sussex, where it is quite hardy. There is a plant almost as large in the R.H.S. Garden at Wisley.

C. (cuspidata × saluenensis) ‘Cornish Snow’. – A very beautiful hybrid raised by J. C. Williams at Caerhays Castle, Cornwall. In general it resembles the former parent, but the flowers are larger and the white petals have a pink flush on the back. Other hybrids of the same parentage are in cultivation, ‘Michael’, also raised at Caerhays, being one of the best.

C. fraterna Hance – A near relative of C. cuspidata but easily distinguished by the shoots, pedicels, and calyx being densely villose. It comes from E. China and is not likely to be hardy in any but the most sheltered gardens.

Camellia cuspidata

Camellia cuspidata

From the Supplement (Vol. V)

† C. ‘Cornish Spring’. – A hybrid between C. cuspidata and a pink-flowered single cultivar of C. japonica, raised by Miss Carlyon at Tregrehan, Cornwall (1972). The flowers are single, light pink, about 134 in. wide, opening in March or April.

† C. ‘Spring Festival’. – A seedling of C. cuspidata raised in California, with small, pink, almost fully double flowers in late spring. Very narrow habit. It needs full sun.

C. fraterna – This species has been used by hybridists, one result being ‘Tiny Princess’, with small, semi-double flowers, white shaded pink. USA, 1961.

Common names

Of the several hundreds of known species of heath, the vast majority are native of the Cape of Good Hope; the only hardy ones are of European origin. Of the species described in the following notes, six are natives of the British Isles. These heaths are all evergreen, and are distinct among hardy shrubs for the smallness and the great number of their leaves, which are linear and usually have the margins recurved so as to form a groove at the back; they are arranged in whorls of three or four, sometimes five or six. In stature these hardy heaths range from small trees over 20 ft high, to dwarf semi-prostrate shrubs 2 in. high. The corolla varies from globular to cylindrical, and has usually four small teeth at the contracted opening; it does not fall in the ordinary way, but withers and remains long on the stalk encasing the seed-vessel. Calyx four-parted; stamens eight; fruit a many-seeded capsule.

The best way to use heaths in gardens is to plant them in broad masses. Fine colour effects can be produced in that way by both the early- and late-flowering sorts. But near London, or in places with a similar climate, it would not be wise to plant masses of E. lusitanica, australis, arborea, and the hybrid × veitchii, which are likely to suffer damage in severe winters, nor of E. scoparia, which is scarcely worth it. They thrive in almost any soil that is not calcareous; E. carnea, erigena, × darleyensis and terminalis can be grown even in such soils but only the last named is really tolerant of pure chalk. The soil may have decayed leaves mixed with it, but it should not be enriched by manure. The ideal soil is one of light sandy peat, but that is by no means essential.

In most gardens the soil is too rich for the dwarf heaths, and, in consequence, they grow too fast and soft and become lanky, very different from the dense sturdy plants one sees wild. To correct this, especially in those that flower late, it is advisable occasionally to prune over the plants in spring before they start growth. This makes them break into growth lower down, and tends to keep them dwarfer and more compact. Whilst this annual pruning is more especially needed by E. cinerea, multiflora, vagans, ciliaris, and tetralix, the early-flowering E. carnea and × darleyensis are also improved if treated the same way as soon as the flowers begin to fade; but with them it is not so necessary.

Heaths can be propagated by seeds and by cuttings. The former should be sown in very sandy peat in spring, and kept in a cool frame until germinated; when large enough to handle they should be pricked off into shallow boxes of similar soil, and when 2 or 3 in. high planted out in nursery beds or even in permanent places. But cuttings perhaps are preferable and, of course essential for the propagation of the cultivars. They should be made in July and August, of moderately ripened twigs about 1 in. long; side twigs of that length springing direct from older branches are best. The leaves should be carefully removed from the lower half, and for this work a very sharp knife is essential, so that the leaves are cut cleanly away without tearing the bark of the cuttings. These are then put in pots of very sandy peat, surfaced with silver sand when finished, and placed in slight bottom heat with a bell-glass over them. They will take root in a few weeks, but need not be disturbed until the following spring, when they can be treated as advised for seedlings.

We are grateful to Mr David McClintock for reading the text of Erica and making many helpful comments.

Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge 2000

AOC Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Vallée du Rhône, France

This vintage is a true example of balance: expressive and complex, a bouquet of many different fruit. This vintage has remained young and fresh. The tannins are silky and fine. This wine is very suitable for a drinking now but can also be kept for several years, with a very good ageing potential.

The 2000 vintage is still a young wine of rare quality, flawless! The nose is very fresh, with notes of chocolate. The mouth is round and reveals ripe fruit, soft tannins and good length.

Imported by Vineyard Brands. 13.5 % Alcohol. The nose bore brighter fruit aromas. Initially the wine was a bit tight with a ripe fruit core, plenty of power, and a fresh structure that gripped the teeth. With extended air the brighter red fruit made way to a young and strong midpalate that was coated with fat. The Becausteal funk surrounded lovely blue fruit towards the finish. **** 2020-2035.

All velvety fruit, thyme, balsam, lovely balance.

This vintage has all the characteristics of a hot vintage. Warm and powerful, this wine is still young and will benefit from a few more years ageing.

Absolutely firing on all cylinders and with an open, borderline slutty profile, the 2000 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a dream on the nose, showing complex, meaty aromas of black truffle, spice rack, charcuterie, and garrigue. There‟s fantastic intensity here and you can smell this wine as soon as the bottle is opened. Just as good on the palate, the wine sports a medium to full-bodied, ripe profile, perfect balance, and a dazzling finish that has you looking for another glass. I‟m a fan and while this will no doubt continue to shine, don‟t hesitate to pop bottles now

Deep garnet colour with a faint touch of brick in the rim. Classic Beaucastel earthy/meaty/gamey nose with an undercurrent of stewed strawberries, Chinese dried plums and soy. Quite elegant on the palate with a medium to full body and a reasonably taut structure of medium to high acidity and a medium level of velvety tannins. Layer upon layer of spices and savoury flavours. Long finish. Drink now to 2024.

Clean and fresh, bursting with fruit and spices. Full-bodied, it delivers some game, truffle, vanilla notes. It's distinctive and ought to reveal wonderful terroir with age, but for now it hasn't come together. Needs time. Drink now through 2020. 16,665 cases made.

Hey SJ,

I was gonna be stubborn and wait til you spelled my name right, but decided I probably won't live that long *grins*.

Actually, your surname in either spelling is tough. I've checked all around the 'Net but no luck. Maybe someone with better up-to-date Slavic connections can help. ANYBODY OUT THERE FROM CLEVELAND?

Is "Duchek" a real surname spelling (Slovak?) or just something your gggrandpa synthesized to rid himself of "Dubchek" (was it that spelling or Dubcek?)?

I don't want to sound really really old, but was your ggg something like 70 or 75 when he arrived here? Dubcek only rose to prominence in the late-mid-60s, and the famous reform period of The Prague Spring was in '68. This was not exactly the Napoleonic era; a few of us are still alive who remember it distinctly.

And I'm curious why your ggg would want to disassociate himself from Alexander Dubcek. The guy was a Commie turned good and was bringing some really open democratic reforms to the country until the Warsaw Pact rumbled the T-55s into town and spoiled the party. Twenty more years of bread lines and potato vodka followed...

Guess I'm sayin if my last name was Dubcek back then I would've been proud of it. But maybe Gramps had his own reasons. Go figure.

Ana White Picnic Table {Building}

It's finally warming up and feeling like spring here in Washington. It hasn't rained in days and the sun has been shining. I've been working on a bunch of fun outdoor yard projects and I'm so excited to show you my awesome new table!

The plans are Ana White Providence table plans. I can't even began to tell you how much I love Ana White's plans. While we lived in Japan we had a house furnished by my husband's job so when we moved back to America the only furniture we owned was old stuff from when we were in college. The past two years I've been able to furnish my whole house with Ana furniture and stuff from thrift stores.  If you want to learn to build your furniture just start with easy plans like the $10 ledges or a little kids table.

I'm not going to post a whole step by step since Ana already did that with the plans. I am going to give you my tips! I cut all the wood, sanded it and then painted it before building. I used a 4 inch foam roller for all of it. So much easier to paint flat lumber than try to get in all the nooks and crannies with a brush. I did 2 coats and then a touch up coat when it was all built.

I assembled the tabletop and both bench seats using wood glue and my kreg jig.  The kreg jig® makes it so easy to  build a tabletop.

Bench in progress.  All assembled with the kreg jig® but you could do wood glue and just regular screws too.  I found the actual building of the benches  and table to go pretty quickly.  The painting and cutting seemed to take the longest!

I would guess it would take two Saturdays to build the picnic table and both benches.  One Saturday for cutting the lumber, sanding and painting and the next for building.

I used the pocket hole plugs to cover the visible kreg jig holes.  I just wood glue them in and then sand.  If you want them totally invisible you can put a little wood fill in there too.

Totally love.  The table is super sturdy and I love the angles of it underneath.  It's also nice and big.  The benches can seat three and you could put two chairs on the ends and be able to seat eight.

We will see how the white holds up to my 3 crazy sons.  The table is under our covered wood deck so it's already a LOT of wood and I wanted a contrast.

Pretty amazing for $100!  The lumber was $70 and a I bought a gallon of Ace Hardware outdoor trim and house paint for $30. The paint color is called "Heavenly Sand" and is a nice creamy white.

What I've been up to...

10 November, 2013

This week has been surprisingly busy. Given we here in Victoria, Australia had a public holiday to celebrate a bunch of horses running around a track and therefore it's been a shorter working week than usual, it still feels like there just hasn't been enough time to do it all.

Unfortunately the blogging has been one of the first things to be let go. Ah well. Better late than never.

But even though I haven't been blogging, I have been gardening. This is what I've been up to:

There are two areas where I grow raspberries; one in the space between the house and the garage, and one in the front yard along the fence line.

Both require netting for me to get any crop at all.  I use a combination of cheap garden arches, posts, bricks, string, wire and ingenuity to beat the birds to the crop. I have found just netting the plants themselves too annoying to then remove the nets to pick the berries, and sometimes the birds eat the berries through the nets when they touch the plants, so I make big net cages so I can get in and pick, but the birds can't.

Hahahahaha. Take that birds!

Also netted are my early cropping strawberries. This area is about 6m square and I have been harvesting 99.9% of my strawbs so far this year from this patch. Being so early, the birds also plunder these too, so they are also protected. I find the later cropping areas (they get less sunlight so seem to crop more around December) don't need to be netted, as the birds don't go for them as much. Maybe by then there is more native food. Or they're just bored of strawberries. More fool them.

As you can see there are plenty of strawbs to be had.

Also netted is the only cherry of my 6 fruiting cherries that has set fruit. It is the oldest so I guess that's why. Last year I had 7 cherries from it, from memory. There looks to be about 20 on it this year. Last year I employed individual fruit protection, but I can't be bothered doing that for so many, so I've just very messily netted the whole tree.

The fruit appears safe enough.

There are other fruits that still need some protection systems to be put into place, but as these will be cropping later I have left that at the end of the to-do list.

Fingers crossed the birds don't get to these just to spite me.

Other jobs have been planting out tomatoes.Thanks to my neighbour Tim who gifted me these ones.

I have planted each one out with a stake and a cut drink bottle, so that I can water directly to the roots of the plant.

I also put out about 6 different types of basil seeds in the same area. Hence the totally non-organic snail pellets to ensure they don't completely get eaten to the ground when they germinate.

And lastly, I've harvested this years garlic crop. Given last years pretty pathetic effort I wasn't sure what I was going to get this year. The garlic was planted in a spot that gets sun pretty much all day, and was regularly given dirty duck pond water for extra feeding. They grew nice and green, but I knew this was no guarantee there would be anything worthwhile underground. Now that the leaves were starting to die back I figured it was time for harvest.

There are four types of garlic from left to right: (left, next to artichoke) a garlic I simply labelled 'home'. I now can't recall if this was saved from last year, or whether this was some garlic I picked up at a farmers market then decided to plant; (on right side of artichoke) 'Rose du Var', which is a hardneck variety. However, mine didn't flower. That said, I could see some reasonably looking bulbs hovering at the surface so was hopeful of a good crop.

Next on the right is a white type of garlic - unfortunately the name has completely washed off the label (despite supposedly being a waterproof marker) so I don't know what variety this one is. It is the least died back of them all, and when I started pulling I got this.

So I have replanted the pulled one and am letting them stay in a little longer. I'm not confident this will make much difference to the end crop result, but am unwilling to admit defeat by harvesting such pathetic looking bulbs.

Lastly along the row is a variety called 'Italian Red'. It is almost impossible to see as the stems had almost completely died back. This is a soft neck variety.

Here's how they performed:

The home garlic on left is obviously the winner, with in the centre 'Rose du Var' putting forward a few good looking bulbs, and on right the 'Italian Red' looking pretty average.

These will get dried and then plaited for storage.

But now there is space for more planting.

Time to tick another task off the gardening to-do list.

  1. Oh, all that fruit! So wonderful, and I love the netting solutions, very creative, and I hope, effective. You have been madly busy, well done. I love the neat fruitfulness of your garden, it is very pretty.

    1. Thanks! As for the netting solutions, they do say necessity is the mother of invention...

  2. Wow, you HAVE been bust. The netting looks very daunting, hopefully the birds thing so too. My hardnecks didn't flower either but DID need pulling. I plaited them today and am feeling very proud of myself ( or proud of my garlic rather!). Love your pale Nigellas in your photos - I love flowers in a veggie patch. I am impressed by the quantity of strawbs you have, how many plants do you think you have?

    1. Yes, I hope the birds see the nets as a fait acompli rather than a challenge to overcome. I love the nigella's too - I have some blue ones scattered around as well. Sadly none of your poppy seeds have come up, but who knows, maybe they're just waiting til next year. The plants in that area might number around 50-60-ish - I'm guessing here. They have multiplied a bit and are a little crowded. But still productive.

  3. Your strawberries look so good! I didn't know strawberries fruited this early in the year, what variety are they? I think I need to get some.

    1. Jan, I'm sorry to say it but you're missing out. Get some strawbs asap; they are one of the best things to have in the garden. This variety is Cambridge Rival and they are delicious. I've grown Red Gauntlet (bland, not worth it, but crops well) and Hokowase (died before I ever got a berry), and also have Alinta (good croper, nice large berries but not as tasty as CR).

  4. Love your netting! I have grand plans of netting in entire areas next year - need to put the structures up while the trees are dormant (for ease of access) methinks.
    All your fruit looks gorgeous!
    - Christine

    1. Yes, I totally agree it is better to net areas than individual plants. The cherry netting was pretty ineffective as the birds were able to eat the fruit though the net. I like the impedance of putting up supports when the trees are dormant; that will be much easier. Thanks for sharing the idea!

Jesus Creed

Lauren’s second lecture at North Park was on Real Sex: The Naked Truth about Chastity, and she offers four lies or myths that Christians often tell themselves and their youth about sex. She considers each a myth (as untrue) and dangerous and she argues her case theologically — delightfully so I might add.
This was the first time I have heard Lauren and first time I had met her.
What myths/lies would you add to these four?
1. If you have premarital sex, you’ll feel bad. She entered into the field of what sin is and how humans like sin and that sin distorts feelings and that sin leads to both joy and misery.
2. Men are obsessed with sex and women are uninterested in sex. This is a distortion of the biblical material and the sociological data.
3. Sex is necessary because marriage is necessary. Which is not taught in the Bible; singleness is found.
4. Sexual sin is unforgiveable. She spoke about premarital sex and said it is experienced as unpredictable and unstable — “will he be here next week?” Marital sex is predictable and stable (and routine). “Yes, he’ll be here next week.”
Just what sex is has been massively distorted by culture.

France, Paris - Summer 2014

Fries, Wine and Kissing
Tuesday, 22 July

The old romantic in me had me booking a short city break in Paris for me and my girlfriend.  It's a sort of Happy Birthday/Happy Anniversary/Sorry I'm Buggering of to China kind of thing.  It's weird to think that in less than two weeks time I will be sitting in my new apartment, halfway around the world.  It's a sad turn of events but excitement is still out shining at the moment.

I have been to Paris once before, and on realising that in my head I had mistaken the Blackpool tower for the Eiffel Tower I figure my memory of Paris is somewhat hazy.  Back then it was a trip to Disney Land and my only memory of that was not being able to ride on Space Mountain because I was vertically challenged.  So a second trip to Paris, now an adult and with a girlfriend?!  Oh how I have grown up!  We stayed at Hotel la Villa Glamour which was a very comfortable stay and located perfectly next to a metro.  After freshening up we caught the metro to Montmartre - home of Becky's favourite film Amelie.  We drank wine and ate in "Cafe Des 2 Moulins" which is popular because of its presence in the film.  Of course this does increase its prices a little but we were happily satisfied drinking giant glasses of red wine in happy hour and eating Steak Tartar; not quite the national dish but is iconically French!  Montmarte by night is what should come to mind when you think of Paris.  Quietly bustling cobbled streets lined with wine drinkers sitting outside glowing restaurants - It's lovely.  We saw the night through sitting on steps in front of the Sacre Coeur taking in the views, drinking beer and listening to buskers.  Not a bad first night in Paris.

Today our first port of call was to collect our ParisPasses.  For 115 euros this gave us 2 days worth of queue jumps and entries to the majority of the museums and sites of Paris and included free underground transport, boat and open top tour bus.  I have no idea whether it is worth it but I will keep track of my savings and let you know.  With our pass in hand we joined a guided tour of the very impressive "Palais Garnier (opera house)".  Sadly, the opera house does not perform over the summer period but the tour was fantastic and genuinely interesting.  That's a lot from somebody who probably doesn't really care much for opera.

Paris is great to just potter about in; there is something to look at, eat, drink and play in every nook and cranny.  We found a cosy creperie feeding locals called "Creperie St Eustache" which served simple, delicious crepes with no bells or whistles.  I would definitely seek it out again if I were in Paris.  We took the open top tour bus to the Eiffel Tower and unintentionally spent the rest of our day there.  For a start, we were surprised to realise that the ParisPass didn't actually give us anything towards the Eiffel Tower.  A queue jump would have been ace.  But nothing.  We queued to get the tickets, then queued to get the lift 3 quarters of the way up and then queued once more to get to the very top.  Was it worth it?  It's like going to Iceland and not seeing the Northern Lights.  Oh wait, I did do that...  well you just can't go home having not done it!  And it means I can now add an item to my list and then cross it off (Because that's how "to do" lists work right?!) which is drink Champagne at the top of the Eiffel Tower!  The views were amazing and the fact that we had to queue for so long to get to the very top meant we got to appreciate the views in both sunlight and starlight.  Every cloud and all that jazz.   We ate Foie Gras for dinner which is a French delicacy of fattened goose liver.  It's produced controversially as it involves force feeding the geese to fatten them up.  It's not the best quality of life I'm sure but it does make a mild, unique and buttery tasting offal.  Not to say it's worth it.  I don't know what I think about it.  Let me sleep on it and I'll tell you in the morning.

A good year and great legs
Thursday, 24 July

No that's not Becky.  Well it is but it's not what I'm referring too!  Yesterday was a beautiful day to be in Paris.  We made the most of our ParisPass and spent the morning climbing the Arc de Triomphe; cruising the Seine river; marvelling at Notre Dame Cathedral, nosing in quirky Museums and the piece de resistance - wine tasting in an old wine cellar.  If I were to recommend one thing to do in Paris, it would be a wine tasting class with O Chateau.  The ParisPass gave us a free wine tasting session, however, much to our pointless dismay was fully booked.  Insistent that we could not leave Paris without a spot of wine tasting we upgraded to a 2 hour "Tour de France of Wine" for 55 Euros in which the ParisPass gave us 20 euros off.  Man what a mistake going for the standard wine tasting would have been.  We passed the sorry people in the bar with their 3 glasses of wine as we went downstairs to a cellar for our 6 glasses (I jest it looked lovely but nothing in comparison to what we got!).  We joined a small group of novice wine drinkers and were educated in wine by a charismatic young man who owned the business.  We were treated to one Champagne, two white wines and three reds.  Servings were more than generous and empty glasses were quickly topped back up.  We paid 15 euros extra for a cheese board and bread was readily available.  Though potentially slightly swayed by the copious consumption of wine, I have to say that the cheese board was the God damn best frickin selection of cheese I had ever eaten.  Ever in my life.  I entered with little knowledge or interest in wine but left with a genuine fascination.  However short lived that may be.
The Louvre has a completely different slant to it when visited post wine tasting.  We pretty much broke even with our ParisPass and the Louvre was our last "freebie".  We saw everything (lies) in there in just half an hour! Even with time for a Mona Lisa selfie.  Ok so we probably didn't do the Louvre much justice and many would scoff at the idea of being in and out in half an hour (or a Mona Lisa selfie!) but in the end it's just stuff that doesn't interest me very much.  It is clearly, and with good reason, a well loved attraction by millions.  Just not by me.  We decided to spend the rest of our final evening in Montemarte; our agreed favourite place in Paris.  Dinner of Snails, Confit de Cannard and Crepe Suzette screamed out we were tourists.  And of course we drank wine, lots of wine, but none of that cheap crap.  Good legs, a smell of roasted winter orchids and a hint of Apricot dew...  :o)

In early 2000, I found myself finishing a successful career in Law Enforcement and looking for a new challenge. As I pondered my military, law enforcement, security and life experience along with my passions, it was clear that security and loss prevention were in my future. I took a job that had me managing over 100 security and loss prevention personnel, with over half of them being contracted security guards. After dealing with 9 different companies and the same problems and frustrations over and over, I saw the need for real honest customer service, quality and follow up communication in the contract security field. All of us at Green Knight Security are of the same belief; we covet customer service over volume. After the typical security company signs you up they are working on getting the next contract. Meanwhile we will continue to work on bringing the highest level of service to our existing clients. Believing that referrals are the easiest and most cost-efficient method of gaining new clients, we strive to provide a level of client service that cannot be matched in today's private security industry. We accomplish this by meeting with clients on a regular basis in order to address the smallest of issues. Our management responds to client concerns quickly and with ultimate authority.

Silver Cross Pioneer Review by Best Buggy

The Silver Cross Pioneer looks identical at first glance to the Silver Cross Wayfarer, and indeed it is difficult to see why the Pioneer costs £100 more. It seems appropriate therefore that we start this review by doing a quick overview of the Wayfarer and the changes over the last year, before reviewing the Pioneer.

Silver Cross Wayfarer v’s the Pioneer

We reviewed the Silver Cross Wayfarer late in 2013. We really loved the quality and attention to detail on the Wayfarer. However, it was let down by the poor handling and hard suspension. The Pioneer was released, and the understanding was that most of the niggles with the Wayfarer had been resolved in this newer pushchair. However, at first glance the only visible differences are the chunky wheels and bigger basket, and indeed when we phoned Silver Cross up to ask them what the differences were, these were all they could tell us. However, having used both pushchairs, there is a VAST difference in handling, steering, suspension and manoeverability, thus there had to be more to the changes. It took an additional phone call to a local retailer to find out that there have been (as we expected) some changes to the chassis especially along the back axle, wheel housing, bearings and other components (although why Silver Cross couldn’t have just been honest with us on the phone, we don’t know!). The Wayfarer has 4 wheel independent suspension, as does the Pioneer. However, there is no comparison between the two pushchairs, thus we believe there have been changes to the suspension too. The retailer did say they have an old and new Wayfarer on display and there are definite differences to the handling of both, so they believe there have been rolling changes done to the Wayfarer to improve it. The Pioneer seat has an adjustable footrest and two height settings for the hood. More recently Silver Cross has given the Wayfarer, the same seat and carrycot as the Pioneer.

First Impressions

The Silver Cross Pioneer looks and feels like a good quality pushchair from the minute the box is opened. There are two boxes: the first contains the pushchair, carrycot, cupholder, Simplicity car seat adaptors and raincover. The fabrics are all black. The second smaller box holds the hood and the carrycot / pushchair apron to give a splash of one of eight colours. The Pioneer is beautifully presented – everything about it exudes quality, style and sophistication. The mirror chassis is elegant and there is a black chassis option with some colourways. The fabrics are strong and sturdy. The attention to detail on the zip pulls, hood, chassis and handlebar are all fantastic. The seat unit can be parent or forward facing. The carrycot and pushchair seat are completely separate components. The hood and apron transfers between the two parts, but it would be possible to buy two hood and apron packs for example if the chassis was being used alternately for a baby and toddler, and it is easy to update the look of your pushchair for a new baby or simply a change.

Child Comfort

The seat is smart with quality black fabric and good padding. There is lovely attention to detail in the stitching and details. The seat is suitable from 6 months of age and is a bucket seat. The seat is reversible and thus can forward or reverse face. The seat clicks beautifully into position on the chassis – so easily and neatly. It lifts off by using a lift up ‘wing’ on either side. The seat removal / fitting is one of the best we have seen on any pushchair.

The seat reclines easily and effortlessly using a lever on the rear of the seat. The seat slides easily through 3 recline positions from upright to lie flat. It has been no problem to push Master BB up from a reclined position to upright. He was very comfortable when reclined.

There is an adjustable calf rest on the Pioneer, which is a positive change from the Wayfarer that we saw last year. This means that the calf rest now moves well out of the way of Master BB’s legs, and allows him to now put his feet squarely onto the bigger rectangular footrest – he was unable to do this on the Wayfarer. When parent facing an older child can rest their feet on the back edge of the basket, whilst the calf rest will offer a younger child good leg support.

If you need a pushchair for a larger child, you will be pleased to hear that the Pioneer is safety certified up to a massive 25kgs!

Harness and Bumper Bar

The Silver Cross Pioneer has 3 harness height settings. It easy to adjust the straps from the rear when a change of shoulder height was required. The harness length is simple to adjust from the front. The shoulder straps simply slide into the waist straps which is a little annoying as they do slide off really easily. The fabric of the straps, scrunches up after a bit which makes it harder to slide them on. However one side of the harness can be inserted into the buckle at a time, which makes it easier to control a wriggly child and get the parts in position if they have slid off. There are no shoulder or crotch pads on the harness, but to be honest, we have not missed them. We have liked the wide crotch strap which held Master BB in tight, however, we do not like the loose waist straps. We have concern about how secure a young baby is.

There is a leatherette bumper bar included with the pushchair. This is stamped with the Silver Cross logo and is a lovely finishing touch to the whole pushchair. It gives it a luxury feel. The bumper bar swings away to allow the child in and out. There is an easy to find release button on either side, and the bumper bar drops back into place very easily. Lovely!

Hood and Apron

Silvercross supply the pushchair without a hood or apron, so this is an additional cost £100. I know this has caught a number of parents-to-be unaware and is an additional cost to budget for. For this you receive the framed hood and a footmuff which splits and forms the carrycot apron.  The footmuff / apron is really thick and good quality. It absolutely makes the pushchair feel luxurious. We love the stitching; the leatherette and metal loops (although not well placed for toys if that is what their intention is!) and the silver lining. The hood has a UPF 50+. There is no peekaboo window.

The rear of the hood has a small flap covering a hole. This flap can be hooked over the recline lever in seat mode, or now can be closed off when in carrycot mode (a good change from the previous Wayfarer colour pack which left a hole above the baby’s head!). There are also TWO hood settings which was superb for Master BB. He has acres of room above his head, even at his age (rising 5) 102cms tall, which combined with the huge 25kgs weight limit, makes the Pioneer a superb choice for a bigger child, or one who may need a pushchair longer than most. The only downsides to using the upper height setting were that the hood didn’t quite sit properly over the recline lever hole and consequently hung down behind the seat which looked messy (see photos); but the biggest issue was that the pushchair rested on the front hood rib when folded which rapidly led to the front of the hood becoming very scratched. This was a big disappointment on something which looks so beautiful. There is a small visor on the front of the hood, which is never in the child’s way and always looks smart. We didn’t find any of the problems pulling the hood as we did with the Wayfarer.

The apron can be used on the pushchair as a footmuff. We would advise using a blanket underneath to add warmth. However, the apron will keep the wind out in winter, and offer protection from the sun in spring. We love the magnets which hold the apron neatly in place over the bumper bar. Once again, we have to mention the zip pull which is a beautiful small detail but finishes the pushchair off perfectly as a luxury product.

Carrycot and Car Seat

The Silver Cross Pioneer carrycot is one of the best we have seen. The sides are thickly padded in a soft cream bamboo material. It is roomy for a baby and very comfortable. The carrycot is suitable for overnight sleeping. The carrycot lifts on and off easily using the two side ‘wings’ and the handlebar to carry it.

The carrycot needs constructing from the frame of the pushchair seat. It arrives flat, and requires two bars pulling up from the base to form the shell. I had no problem doing these (unlike the Wayfarer). These also mean that the carrycot can be folded flat again for storage or travelling. The inner liner zipped in easily this time, and it took just a minute to add the carrycot hood (the same as the pushchair one) and to pop the apron on. The apron now simply slips on over the edge of the shell, and does not need to be zipped on (hurrah!) The magnets hold the apron in position over the bumper bar / carrying handle, which looks very neat, but we recommend moving the apron fabric before carrying the carrycot, to ensure a good grip on the handle. As mentioned the hood now has a flap to give a solid hood (no hole at the rear) which is a positive change.

We do not have a car seat here at BBHQ but the Silver Cross Simplicity car seat attaches to the chassis. There are also Maxi-Cosi adaptors to fit the Pebble or Cabriofix as a travel system.

Storage and Raincover

The Silver Cross Pioneer has one of the biggest, best and most accessible baskets of any pushchair. It is fantastic!!! So simple, and so perfectly formed. We believe that the basket is deeper than the Wayfarer one, and we could pack a huge quantity of luggage into the basket. Amazing! Access is a little restricted in carrycot mode, which our baby tester wasn’t happy about, however, most baskets are restricted in pram mode.

The Pioneer comes with a raincover which has its own storage pouch. Silver Cross include a cup holder for cold drinks in the box.

Handlebar, Suspension, Wheels, Handling and Brake

Unlike the Wayfarer review, this is where we keep singing the praises of the Silver Cross Pioneer. The handling, even with a heavy child on board has been superb. It has been very easy to push and steer, with good suspension. The rugged all terrain tyres mean that the Pioneer is better across a variety of more challenging surfaces than the Wayfarer. The front wheels are lockable or swivel. We enjoyed taking the Pioneer out across rough surfaces, grass or on smooth shopping malls. It has been an absolute joy and a pleasure to use.

The beautifully finished leatherette handlebar has the shiny metal section in the centre which is embossed with the Silver Cross logo. There are 4 handlebar positions which gives a good range. Simply press the button underneath the metal section of the handlebar, and it extends up and down.

The brake is a step on and step off one. To apply press the red button near the rear right hand wheel. To release stand on the tiny green button. This button could have been larger for bigger feet as it is tricky to locate quickly. However, it works fine once you find it!

The fold on the Pioneer is simple. Simply press in the black button on the top right hand side of the chassis to release the lock. Place one finger into each loop on the side supports and slide these upwards until the chassis bends at the ‘knees’ and folds down to the floor and autolocks. The seat can be left in situ when forward facing but needs removing or turning round if the pushchair has been used with a parent facing seat. The fold is on the long side, and it is a must to try the pushchair in your car boot before purchase. However bending the footrest, and removing the seat will achieve a neater fold. The chassis will freestand when folded with the hood on the maximum. As stated previously, be aware that the hood rim may get damaged. However, Silver Cross have thoughtfully put a rubber stopper on the handlebar to prevent the metal from becoming damaged. The Pioneer is easy to lift and carry.

Unfolding is simple. Simply undo the fold latch, pull the chassis upwards and flick open until the chassis clicks into the open position. The Pioneer is really simple and intuitive to use.

In Conclusion

The Silver Cross Pioneer is one of the very best pushchairs currently on the market. This pushchair is a fabulous all round, practical stroller with a huge seat, good leg length, huge basket, comfortable carrycot and is superb to push and manoeuvre. The handling is vastly superior to the Wayfarer that we reviewed last year.  The Pioneer is absolutely amazing to use. It handles beautifully. It steers brilliantly even one handed, and we have had no issues getting the Pioneer up and down kerbs, even with our heavy 4 and a half year old in the seat. We LOVE the level of luxury and attention to detail on the Pioneer, however at an affordable price – especially considering that the carrycot, pushchair, raincover, cupholder and car seat adaptors are all included in the main box. The huge basket is superb. Yes, there are a few minor niggles such as the harness and no peekaboo window, but these are tiny in the scheme of things. We love how even our tiny baby tester, as well as our 4 year old Master BB were very comfortable.
The Silver Cross Pioneer is absolutely one of the best pushchairs we have ever had here at BBHQ and we would highly recommend it. We have no hesitation in giving the Silver Cross Pioneer a Best Buggy 5 gold star rating.

The Booth Girls of SEMA 2012

Posted by: Kenny Chan onNovember 21st, 2012

SEMA was only a few shorts week ago but I already miss Vegas. I miss the weather. I miss all the good and plentiful food. I miss throwing my money away in the slot machines. I miss trying to get the fastest lap go-karting and of course I miss all the crazy cars, trucks and bikes that all the tuners, exhibitors and vendors brought out. The show was a lot of fun even though it was extremely tiring walking around the massive convention center. However, one thing that did make my job a lot easier was the eye candy littered throughout the show.

Many manufacturers at auto shows have moved to more professional looking models and away from the more scantily clad models that can be found at enthusiast car shows. Over the past few years it looks like SEMA is moving in that direction as well which in my opinion is a great thing. No more girls wearing lingerie and bikinis standing around cars they know nothing about. OK, I think I’ve already babbled on too much so without further ado, I present to you the Girls of SEMA 2012. Oh and FYI, there is a full gallery at the end of this post. Enjoy!
