Tunis
Where Europe Meets Africa.
By Solange Hando
arely three hours from London, Tunis greets you with scenes straight out of the Arabian Nights, plenty of Mediterranean charm and elegant French-style boulevards. Winters are mild, summers sunny and hot but cooled by sea breezes which sweep across the lakes glistening between the capital and its sandy coastline. Fifteen miles of beaches fringe the upmarket suburbs, dotted with open spaces and clusters of pines and mimosa. You can ride a horse or a camel on the sand, swim, sail, shop for souvenirs and squeeze in a little sightseeing but the ultimate indulgence is joining the locals in a hammam, to be scrubbed lobster red from head to toe, or unwinding in a glamorous spa with the latest beauty treatment or sea water therapy, tailored to your needs. Thalassotherapy is a French legacy but comes at a fraction of the cost across the water. Tunisia has been independent since 1956 but the New Town designed by the French retains its Parisian feel. Named after the countrys first President, the Habib Bourguiba Avenue stretches for a straight scenic mile, a mini Champs-Elyses with wide pavements and a
central promenade where flower stalls and newspaper kiosks splash colour under the trees. Its a place to stroll in the shade, enjoy a spot of window shopping, wonder at the cream-coloured cathedral or the rococo theatre, and sit under the parasols of Caf de Paris to watch the world go by. There are trendy stores and boutiques, traditional ptisseries and a free-standing clock tower mirrored in the fountains. The stylish Avenue de France leads to the Sea Gate, no longer lapped by the receding waters of the lake, but marking the meeting point of two cultures, Europe on one side, Africa on the other.
pottery, silk, toy camels or aphrodisiacs, youre sure to find anything you ever wanted and more. The air smells of couscous and mint tea and the bubbling of hookah pipes follows you along the way. With its medieval bazar, its secluded mansions and minarets peeping above the rooftops, this Old Town is a World Heritage Site, claiming over 700 monuments. Visitors make their way to the Great Mosque, the Museum of Popular Arts and Tourbet el Bey, the mausoleum of last dynasty. Meanwhile, across the lake, history lovers gather around the ruins of ancient Carthage, scattered like blossom in the wind from the Roman Baths to the remains of the Punic city on Byrsa Hill. For others, the Bardo Museum is the top attraction, with its stunning collection of Roman mosaics and classical statues, but artists prefer to seek inspiration in Sidi Bou Said, a pretty blue and white village with wrought iron balconies as delicate as lace. Up there on a breezy clifftop, little disturbs the peace but birds twittering in the trees. Far below, fishermen cast their nets in the Gulf of Tunis while in the distance the city stretches as far as you can see, familiar and exotic all in one, flourishing at the crossroads of Europe and Africa.

Tunis greets you with scenes straight out of the Arabian Nights, plenty of Mediterranean charm and elegant French-style boulevards.
Step through and within seconds, you are swept off your feet, lured relentlessly into the medina and a head-spinning maze of colours and scents. In the cool alleyways of the souks, men chisel silver and gold, embroider slippers, carve wood and brass, and every stall brings new temptation. Perfumes, carpets, spices, leather belts,

Comparing prices
Whats included when you buy a kitchen? It varies widely, from a basic delivery of flat-packed cupboards to an all-encompassing service. When comparing prices, ensure that you know exactly what youre buying a cheap option can cost considerably more if you end up paying for extra work. Ask the right questions. Will they dispose of existing fittings? Prepare plumbing and electrical work? Carry out associated building work? Fit floor and wall finishes? What about final decorating, electrical work and other carpentry such as shelving? Who will fit worktops, sinks, taps, appliances and extras such as plate racks and knife holders? Is there a guarantee and after-
Doors
Solid-wood doors with traditional mortise and tenon joints are often considered the highest quality. In-frame doors may expand and contract with the humidity (though the thicker they are, the less chance there is of this). A good supplier will offer an after-sales service to check their fitting after a few months. Veneered doors are usually

cheaper, and are considered easier to maintain. Check whether painted doors are machine-sprayed, or painted by hand with a brush.
Carcasses
Top-of-the-range carcasses are made of solid wood. Next-level-down ones are usually made from plywood or MDF veneer, while cheaper ones are made from chipboard, sometimes with just hardboard backs. Check the thickness of the chipboard 18-20mm is a good guide.
solid wood (at least 4cm thick is best), granite (3cm), manmade solid surfaces (such as Corian) or even glass or concrete. Theyre more expensive, but they will last longer and look better.

butts are better. Check whether hinges open through a complete 180 degree angle.

Hinges
Poor hinges are usually made from thin metal and will wear so thin that the doors hang unevenly. While many people are happy with good quality Blum or Blumstyle hinges (concealed, adjustable and available in a variety of specifications), solid brass

Beauty
Find The Hair Colour Thats Perfect For You
They say that blondes have more fun, but whatever your hair colour youre sure to look and feel fabulous if you find the shade thats right for you. We all love to try out something different once in a while and theres no better way to create a fresh look than with a change to your hair colour.
A new hue can take years off your age, emphasise your best features and leave your complexion looking radiant. Its crucial to get it right though, because if you pick the wrong colour you can be left with an unflattering and disappointing result. Your hair is undoubtedly your best accessory, so its crucial to think carefully before doing anything drastic or making a hasty change. Heres our guide to what to consider before you reach for the hair dye. If the cream looks best, then youre warm. Consider your jewellery; does gold suit you better than silver? If so, your skin tone is warm. If silver looks stunning, then youre cool.
Cool Colours
If your skin colouring is cool, you should choose an ash, mink or even platinum blonde shade if you fancy a blonde hue. Brunette colours with an ashy base work best with cool skins. Think coffee coloured browns, medium brown with ashy highlights or even black. Stick to burgundy, mahogany and purple based reds - they will look fabulous with your skin.
Warm Colours
If you have warm colouring, then youll look great with golden blonde colours and caramel highlights. For brunettes, choose chestnut or golden browns with warm tones for a stunning look. If you fancy standing out from the crowd with vibrant red locks, go for copper and auburn shades. Any red with a golden or orange base colour works well.

The previous year, our ash tree had to come down because it was pushing against a neighbours garage wall. That also served us well, a year later. Even so, I never feel good about losing a tree. Not only do our remaining trees provide an important habitat for birds and other wildlife, they also give us some privacy in the garden, so the neighbours cant see how poorly the last of the chard is doing. As our gradual conversion from urbanites to ruralites has progressed, we have become expert in the art of foraging for kindling. When you know where to look, just like love, its all around you. For example, a local farm shop often has a supply of unwanted wooden fruit boxes. Weve also found hidden treasure in skips - always with the owners permission. And once, when our foraging fame spread, a neighbour alerted us to a pub renovation a couple of villages away, where we managed to fill the
back of the car with wood that would otherwise have become landfill. A wood merchant has occasionally furnished us with offcuts and sawdust for the chickens, in exchange for eggs, which seems a pretty good deal all round. And of course, the nearby woods are a boon. Every time theres a gale, were off into the woods, rucksacks at the ready - combining exercise with recycling. I think the villagers are used to us now, although I did once hear someone singing Good King Wenceslas - the part about a poor man gathering winter fuel. Its less about saving a pound or two and more about being consistent in our philosophy. Theres a certain delight in making use of something that no one else wants, whether its wooden offcuts, windfall or abandoned and broken pallets, especially when it also helps to reduce our fuel bills. I like to think of us as the Wombles of Wood.

his back, staring at the sky, fighting the nausea, his heart racing. You okay down there? Helga shouted. Yeah. No not really. Just give me a minute. Slowly, Tom shifted himself upright. Impossible to fathom where he may have ended up had he not stopped falling. Looking at the horrible gash on his leg, he felt almost suffocated by a huge, childish well of emotion. It had been years since hed given in to sobbing, and he wasnt about to start now. Interrupted by another burst of Live and Let Die, Tom managed to get hold of his phone, grateful for the sobering distraction. Charles calling no real surprise there. How did he handle all of this? In reality, and hypothetically, he was halfway to killing himself. Should he jump before he was pushed? Tom kicked at some of the loose scrub, and a shower of small stones went hurtling down noisily, then fell silent. Charles! What can I do for you? Tom said loudly, unable to keep the heavy sarcasm at bay. Hed wanted to be rude for years, and this was his chance. Monday morning; my office 9am, Charles snarled. Tom pinched the bridge of his nose. I er, that wont be necessary. We both know what this is about, so Ill say it first. Im not sorry in the least about your stupid, mindless flow charts, but I am sorry I ever started an affair with your niece. I resign! An angry tirade burst down the speaker. Tom flipped it shut, and without thinking, flung the phone with all its incriminating messages and that shaming picture of Melanie, the one where she was wearing just three Post-It notes; to a certain death. He heard it smash, and allowed a breath of relief to escape his parched mouth. Yes, that felt good, cathartic even.

omething very intriguing happened during the glorious sporting summer of 2012 when the Olympics found London. For the first time in as long as anyone could remember, celebrity culture lost its hold on kids imaginations and Da Yoof turned their attention to the positive role models of the 2012 Games. Here were a group of men and women not only driven by a burning desire to be the best they possibly could in their chosen field, but do so purely for the purpose of achieving greatness, and not because it would get them free Jaegerbombs at G-A-Y or a photo of themselves exposing their pants climbing out of a taxi in The Celebrity Gazette. That in itself would have been enough, but this promise of greatness was swiftly followed by the delivery of greatness, and when kids went back to school in September, corridors buzzed with excitable sports chatter. Britain even dared to dream that the values of a lost generation might finally be shifting. Suddenly children aspired to follow in the footsteps of Usain, Jessica and Mo ndividuals who exude the importance of hard work, talent and genuine ambition as opposed to slumping slack-jawed in front of TOWIE.
Ive talked a lot in this column about role models for the younger generation, specifically the flimsy celebrity idols provided by TV shows such as X Factor and The Only Way Is Essex. If youve found those articles in any way tedious, you might want to look away now, because Im back on my soapbox.
How long would this last? Was it a blip in the cultural radar, or an enduring change? When the coming of autumn ushered back the thunderous rumble of the X Factor pop juggernaut, would the shimmering memory of the Games eventually disappear beneath the relentless, autotuned din of yet another slew of hapless pop-droids? Now that were a few months down the line, Im
not sure I could say either way. According to a recent Telegraph survey, twenty-five years ago the most popular career ambition amongst school-age children was teaching. Now, while teaching has just about held onto its place in the Top Ten, it has given up the number one spot to sports star, closely followed by pop star and famous actor. Id be interested to know if the success of London 2012 has had any kind of impact on those statistics. I cant talk, of course - when I was fourteen I wanted to play in a rock band. Im still doing it, professionally, in my early thirties, and Ive often wondered what Id say if a modern-day version of my teenage self asked for advice on pursuing his dreams. In short, Id probably say this. Any idiot can follow his dreams. Its about what you do when the world gets in the way, when things quite simply dont go the way you expected. What you do in those moments, thats the real test of character, not to mention the test of whether or not your dreams really counted in the first place. And Im done. Should probably pop the ol soapbox back under the stairs, but hang on. Kerry Katona just came on the telly. No rest for the wicked Chris plays piano in South London power-pop band The Lightyears. The Lightyears, voted the UKs BEST POP/ROCK ACT at the Indy Awards, have played Wembley Stadium, toured across four continents and released a record with Stings producer. Chris has recently completed his first book, Mockstars; a selection of video extracts are available to view at www. ProjectLightyears.com.

How to Holiday for Less in 2013
As winter draws to a close, conversations about where to go for summer holidays are on the increase and the difference between what we can afford and what we would ideally like often represents something of a discrepancy. However, there are steps which can be taken to bridge the gap and help us afford a summer holiday which may otherwise be financially out of reach. Book Early or Book Late As far as saving money is concerned, there are two choices on the table and they are booking either late or early. Whether you book far ahead using low-cost airlines and advance bookings for accommodation or snag a last-minute bargain from a package holiday company, either of these approaches can work wonders for your budget. The key is to decide which suits you best and to plan your holiday around that. Indecisiveness will cost you money, so take the time to make a clean decision on your strategy. For advance accommodation bookings, websites such as holidaylettings.co.uk are fantastic and when booking flights, try skyscanner.net or
40
travel.kelkoo.co.uk to track down the cheapest ones. If youre flexible about both when and where to go and are just looking to find a great deal, then companies such as markwarner.co.uk, kuoni. co.uk and wandotravel.com all offer fantastic higher-end packages for less money when you book at the last minute. Plan Your Budget While its a nice idea to lounge around in the luxury of a five-star hotel, your accommodation is really only a place to sleep and store your luggage. This is a good example of how stripping some aspects down to the bare necessities can save you money. Do some research into the restaurants and other holiday expenditures in the area youre visiting to track down ways to eat, sleep, drink and sightsee for less money rather than just turning up and paying for what you find. You really will save a fortune. Travel Light Airlines these days charge a great deal for excess baggage. This is especially true for the low-cost airlines and this represents another area where some advance planning can save you
cash. Take some time to put together a packing list which will make the most efficient and effective use of space so you dont have to take any extra or unnecessary items that will bump up your budget. Be Prepared to Travel Out Of Season While summer may be a mere figment of our imagination here in the UK, other countries do see sunny weather in May and June as well as into September and October. July and August are peak seasons for UK holidaymakers so if youre not bound by school holidays, travel either earlier or later in the year to avoid peak season and its associated costs. Consider a House Exchange A house exchange is a great way to get some decent accommodation at a very minimal cost. This is especially true if you have a family as exchanging a nice home in the UK can go a long way when travelling to countries where things are a bit more affordable. Websites such as homeexchange.com are trusted, reputable and have been running for a great deal of time.

Little Wonders
How little tablets can be cheap and cheerful
ablets are wonderful things, but they can be pricey: while 400 isnt much compared to the price of a high-end laptop, its still 400. But you dont need to spend that much to find a perfectly good tablet: in fact, there are good ones for as little as 99. The 99 tablet is Amazons Kindle Fire, which dropped from 129 to 99 in November (if its gone back up again, dont worry - you can be sure the price will fall again very soon). While it isnt exactly state of the art its still a perfectly decent tablet for watching videos, playing Angry Birds, using Facebook and so on. If you fancy something a little more powerful but not much more expensive, Amazons Kindle Fire HD is very good too. It boasts a much better screen, which is superb for video, and comes with more storage, faster Wi-Fi wireless networking and a faster processor. Prices start at just 159 for the 16GB model. Before you spend 159, though, check out Googles offering, the Nexus 7. Like the Kindle Fire its just 159 for the 16GB model, and as
its Googles own device its a proper Android tablet without the customisation that some manufacturers add to the operating system. Once again its a seven-inch device with a powerful processor, integrated Wi-Fi wireless networking and good battery life. There are two other 159 tablets to consider: the Kobo Arc and the Nook HD. The former comes from Kobo, Amazons main rival in the e-reading sector, and its aimed primarily at e-book readers who fancy the odd video, song or bit of web browsing, while the latter is by US bookselling giant Barnes & Noble and hopes to carve a niche offering electronic magazines as well as apps. Technically speaking theyre very good - the Nook HD in particular has a wonderful screen, is very light and easy to use - but tablets rise and fall on the strength of their content libraries and Amazon has the edge in that department. If you want a tablet that has lots of stuff to choose from and which is very easy to use, the Kindle Fire HD will look very attractive; if youre more techy and want something you can fiddle with too, Googles
Nexus is more likely to appeal. You cant mention tablets without mentioning Apple, and while Apple also has a cheap tablet were talking cheap in Apple terms: the iPad mini starts at 269, which is significantly more than other seven-ish-inch tablets - although its a good bit less than a full-sized iPad. Apple claims its every inch an iPad, and thats a fair claim: its essentially an iPad 2 crammed into a smaller case, so it runs existing iPad apps quite happily. It has more available tablet apps than any other small tablet, it has a slightly bigger screen - its 7.9 inches rather than the rivals 7 inches, which doesnt sound much but makes a big difference when youre using it - and to our eyes its much better-looking and better-engineered than any rival. Is the iPad mini worth the extra cash? If you want a premium tablet, youre using other Apple products or youve already amassed a stack of iOS apps then yes. If not, you may well find that a smaller rival will be just as much fun for considerably less cash.

Ingredients:
100g crunchy peanut butter 25g creamed coconut, chopped 1/2 tsp chilli powder 1 garlic clove peeled and crushed 4 tbsp soy sauce 3 small peppers (red, green and yellow), deseeded and cut into 2.5cm pieces 4 thick slices of aubergine 1 large red onion, peeled and cut into slim wedges 3 tbsp sesame oil 4 nests fine egg noodles 4 spring onions, trimmed and finely sliced
Place the peanut butter, coconut, chilli powder and garlic in a small pan with 180ml water. Heat gently, stirring all the time, for 2-3 minutes until the coconut has dissolved and the sauce has thickened. Remove from the heat, stir in half the soy sauce. Thin down with a little more water to get a pouring consistency, if necessary. Par-boil the peppers in a pan of boiling water for 2 minutes, drain well and pat dry with kitchen paper. Cut the aubergine slices into quarters. Thread the peppers and aubergine onto 8 pre-soaked wooden skewers with the onion wedges. Preheat a cast-iron griddle pan until almost smoking. Whisk 2 tbsp of the oil and remaining soy sauce together and brush all over the vegetable kebabs. Cook the kebabs on the hot griddle pan for 6-8 minutes, turning frequently until tender and lightly charred. Meanwhile, cook the noodles in a large pan of boiling water for 3-4 minutes until just tender. Drain well and toss together with the rest of the sesame oil and the spring onions. Serve the kebabs on the noodles and drizzle over the satay sauce.
Tip:
If you dont have a griddle pan cook the kebabs under a pre-heated grill or use a heavybased shallow frying and add a little oil.

Thank you!
More than just good manners.
or most of us, saying thank you is an everyday occurrence and, face to face at least, the words often trip out of our mouths more out of habit than with genuine meaning. In todays fast paced world however, far more of our communication is by email, text, phone or social media, and taking the time to acknowledge others actions is being overlooked. But expressing your appreciation has a very important psychological role to play for both the person giving and the person receiving. Gratitude is more than just good manners; it reassures others that their help was actually valued and it encourages further reciprocal behaviour. Indeed missing this important step can cause resentment and people can feel snubbed by what may have just been an oversight. You would think that if youd asked a favour of someone, asking for a second favour would make them feel you were asking too much. However, if youve clearly and personally thanked the giver the first time, theyll feel
good about themselves and towards you, and will be more than willing to help again. Taking the time to tell someone you appreciate their efforts is also beneficial for you. A bit like if you donate to charity you are doing it to benefit others, but you come away feeling positive about yourself and your efforts. Giving feels good. The message does have to be commensurate with the act though. A dismissive thanks to a reasonable favour wont cut it. But a gushing thank you so much, I really do appreciate your help, you are so kind to a minor act will sound false and lose its value. But wherever you can, include the persons name in your message as thats further endorsement of them as an individual. Also not all thank yous are equal. Ask anyone under the age of 16 to produce a handwritten letter to be sent in the post, and their reaction is likely to be why? After all, theres the phone, texting and email much quicker and easier. But actually thats just the point; such methods are so much easier they dont
hold as much weight to the recipient. Receiving a letter in the post, with its air of mystery as it lands on the mat, the tangible piece of paper and the very personal handwriting means so much more. It is also much more memorable than a text or email which is instantly forgotten. Not that phone, text and email should be dismissed of course, especially to acknowledge someone you are unlikely to come in contact with again. Better that method than not at all. There are nominated days to show thanks to your nearest and dearest, with birthdays, Mothers Day, Fathers Day and even Valentines Day for your significant other. Again with busy lives, many view having to acknowledge these times as an inconvenience. But put yourself in the other persons shoes: everyone around them is being appreciated on these occasions, and they want to feel that they are valued by their friends and family too. Remember the gift doesnt need to be huge, but the gesture means so much.

concerts - even some classical concerts Using simple DIY equipment such as hammers and power tools Day to day activities such as riding a motorcycle (wind noise not the engine noise as you might think) or even driving in a car with the window down (some truck and taxi drivers have more pronounced hearing loss in their right ear, nearest the open window) Recreational activities such as shooting So first off, be aware when there may be damaging levels of noise present and if there is, protect your ears. Inexpensive foam earplugs can be purchased from DIY stores and some high street chemists. Most concert venues have free earplugs available, and whilst they rarely offer them to you on arrival, theres usually a good supply behind the bar. Keep a few pairs in a drawer for use around the house when tackling your latest DIY project too. What if you already have hearing loss? Its not usually that you cant hear at all but just that its not clear. Often its the high frequency sounds that fade
first, such as bleeps and bells. Then it becomes difficult to hear what people are saying when there is background noise such as in crowds or when the television is on. If left undiagnosed or treated, a hearing loss can lead to other problems. Because its unclear what has been said, socialising in groups becomes awkward. Sufferers find themselves pretending to laugh at jokes when they didnt hear the punch-line, or just nodding and smiling and then being embarrassed because the person talking is awaiting an answer. This in turn leads to loss of confidence and feelings of social exclusion. What can be done? Its really not necessary to literally suffer in silence. A simple trip to your GP to arrange a hearing test or to a specialist hearing centre or audiologist will mean your hearing is tested and assessed, usually free of charge. Discrete and almost invisible the latest aids can make such a difference and vastly improve your hearing. Youll never regain what has gone, but you can make the best of what you have left.

Blue and Lady Christl for some of the tastiest steamers. New potatoes dripping in chives and butter are wonderful. Try Lady Christl, Charlotte, Juliette, Casa Blanca, Nadine and Nicola. If you adore mashed potato then try Dunluce, Valour, Maris Bard, Lady Balfour and King Edward. If you love your potatoes in their jackets, then try Cara, Lady Balfour, Picasso, Kestrel, King Edward, Desiree and Valor. For great roast potatoes try Kestrel, Maris Piper, Desiree, Lady Balfour, Vivaldi and Edzel Blue. For the best chips, use Kestrel, King Edward, Maris Peer, Accord, Rooster and Edzel Blue. Potatoes are divided into earlies (first to be harvested) and main crop, generally larger tubers, harvested later. Try earlies if your soil hasnt been cultivated for several years. Earlies are in the ground for less time than main crops and are less likely to suffer from wire-worm attack. Earlies are also useful in smaller gardens as they takes less space and are in the ground for a shorter period, giving you the opportunity to grow another fast-maturing crop after the potatoes have
been lifted. No crop is without its share of problems and the fungus responsible for potato blight is sometimes hard to beat, especially in warm, damp years. Generally, earlies suffer less with blight and you can select varieties which show resistance to the infection such as Valor, Lady Balfour, Coleen and especially Sarpo Mira and Sarpo Axona. Slugs are also a real menace, tunnelling into the tubers flesh and sometimes even hollowing them out completely. The biological control nematode Nemaslug works under the soil surface, has a brilliant effect and poses no threat to wildlife.

ithout the right Mindset, you may actually sabotage your efforts. In the case of weight loss for example, you may eat healthily and exercise. But if you dont also address your deepest attitudes and beliefs you may well not succeed.
You might find it a bit weird. But its a mindset exercise thats tremendously empowering and will make success inevitable! My Personal Training clients use it and make themselves look and feel fabulous with it!
Every day for the next month do the following Sit down with a piece of paper and a pen every day. Write your goals down in bullet points Write quickly without stoping to think "is that possible?. Just write freely Write goals as if you had already achieved them eg; if your goal is to get into some designer jeans, you might write, I wore those designer jeans today and felt amazing It doesn't matter how many or few goals you have Make them real, specific and include how you feel about achieving it. Don't just write "I have lost weight". Instead write "I have lost 6 pounds this month. I am now so happy with the way my bum looks that I can't wait to go shopping for some new clothes". Then put the piece of paper away in a file so you cant see it Next day, do exactly the same thing again, without looking at the ones you did before. Your goals may change over the month. This doesnt matter. Go with the flow.
