Ed’s letter
Boom! What a month for news! Firstly, by the time
you’re reading this we’ll have a new Government –
althoughatthetimeof writingIcouldn’tevenbegin
to guess what that will be. What an extraordinary
time for politics. And everyone is really excited
about the new royal baby too. Welcome another
little mouth to feed,the rather cute looking Princess
Charlotte Elizabeth Diana (I’m a sucker for babies),
and congrats to the proud parents. But just HOW
did Kate look that good ten hours after the birth!?
That’s what I’d like to know. I reckon most mothers
would agree with me – I looked like a train wreck
ten hours after mine popped out, and she sailed
out like she was off for a nice lunch. Extraordinary.
But more than anything in our little world here
at Title Towers, this is our very first issue of Title
Sussex, and that’s become the biggest new thing
we’ve done this month here.
I hope you like it. We really wanted to create a
magazine that shook up the concept of the county
title,andIreallythinkwe’vedonethat.Wecelebrate
Sussex and all who sail in her, but felt there was a
need for a magazine that actually looked like it had
been created in the 21st century. A magazine that
was filled with news and features, but easy to read.
A magazine that offered lots of snacky content for
people on the run, but some serious stuff to sit
with a coffee and digest. A magazine that offered
excellent coverage for this amazing county, and
offered something for everyone.
The team here are amazing and I love working with
them all. It’s been a thrilling ride launching this and
we are already way into the next issue, which is
looking wonderful. Title Sussex for us represents
a new dawn of regional magazines, and we have
plans already to take this far and wide. We hope
you’ll join us for the ride.

Top
10Fishers Farm Park
facts
Fishers Farm is continuously
recognised as one of the UK’s
top attractions but if you haven’t
heard much about it here are
ten facts that you probably
didn’t know about this award-
winning attraction
1. Tim and Trina Rollings opened Fishers Farm in 1990 and it is
now celebrating its 25th year. When it opened it was a ‘pick your
own’ fruit farm!
2. They have won the award for Best Farm Attraction UK twice and
were recently voted among the Top 10 Amusement Parks in the UK
and Top 25 in Europe on Trip Advisor.
3. The top comments from customers are, “there’s always
something new” and “the staff are so friendly”.
4. Fishers is a family-run business. Tim Rollings (Owner) still works
in all areas of the business, be it mucking out the animals, building
new attractions or cleaning the loos! Trina and their daughter Bex
bake all the homemade cakes in the Coffee Bar and paint the
amazing backdrops for the theatre productions. Their son Tom
designs new rides and attractions and all the graphics for the farm,
while his wife Kate does the marketing and social media.
5. Fishers were the first Farm Park to open a theatre and has
recently installed a cinema too.
6. They are open every day of the year except Christmas Day and
Boxing Day. They also offer a ‘playzone pass’ at a cheaper rate to
their normal admission for rainy days.
7. Their ‘Saddle Rooms Restaurant’ uses locally sourced produce
(some grown there at the farm!) and has recently won Best Food &
Beverage UK at the National Farm Attractions Awards.
8. Fishers Farm was the first Farm Park in the UK to get their famous
‘Bouncy Pillow’ and now have two.
9. ‘Casper’ the horse was the second biggest Shire horse in the
world at 19.1hh and in 2013, one of their ewes gave birth to
possibly the UK’s smallest lamb at less than 0.9kg!
10. ‘Olly’ their Massey Fergusson tractor was used in the Olympic
Opening Ceremony in 2012 and is now used for The Big Red
Tractor Rides.

Original Allstars Music will
be bringing their custom
made stage (named the
Allstars Stagewagon) to
Wild Life Festival this June.
Original Allstars started life
as a collective of young
musicians set up in 2008
by guitar teacher David
O’Connell who felt his
students deserved an audience.
With the help of their 10 metre long DAF truck which has been
converted into a mobile stage, young bands and musicians
are given the chance to play their music live to many varied
audiences at festivals across the south east, and now young
musicians will now get the chance to perform at one of the
most hotly tipped events this summer. David O’Connell MD of
Original Allstars Music said, “this is going to make their year!’

One of the things we love at Title – well, two really – are food
and wine. And this new collaboration includes both, so we’re
a bit excited. Jethro Carr’s Kitchen Academy and beautifully
restored Kingscote estate and vineyard have come together
to create Kitchen Academy at Kingscote.
The new school will offer cookery classes, corporate
events, chef’s dining table events and days out for groups
and families. The food experience Jethro provides will be
supported by the wine experience provided by Kingscote
Estate’s executive wine maker, Owen Elias and Andy Cooper,
Vineyard Manager.

The Great Skinhead Reunion was launched in 2011 by
Symond Lawes as he was ‘sick of only seeing old friends at
funerals’, but it’s exploded to become the biggest event of its
kind in the world.
Skinheads are defined by their military style, with cropped
hair, boots, sharp Italian suits or high cut jeans, and British
handmade footwear with pristine shirts, but the style is wide
and varied. The skinhead subculture is now getting on for
50 years old, so anyone who fancies celebrating this eclectic
culture – old or young, skinhead or not – can come along and
join this international three day knees up.
This year’s event will be supporting Blind Veterans UK for
blind ex-servicemen.

Combining elegant
picnicking with awesome
opera, Glyndebourne
Festival kicks off this
season on 21 May with a
four month jam-packed
programme. This year
sees performances of marvels like Bizet’s Carmen and Britten’s
The Rape of Lucretia, as well as Handel’s Saul and a cracking
Ravel double-bill.
Created in 1934, Glyndebourne is recognised as one of the
great opera houses, stemming from a passion encapsulated
in founder John Christie’s insistence on doing “not the best
we can do, but the best that can be done anywhere”.
The Festival runs from May to August with six operas in a 1,200-
seat opera house, just outside Lewes in East Sussex. There’s a
free shuttle service from Lewes train station for guests. Photo

I
t’s long been joked that Brighton puts the Sex into
Sussex, but the Prince Regent’s pleasure-dome is far
from the only sexy part of Sussex. Indeed, even the
county’s motto, “We wunt be druv,” intimates a certain
freedom, loosely translating to, ‘We won’t be pushed
around.’ Perhaps this is why it’s been such a mecca for the
sexually diverse, individual and free.
BOHEMIAN BLOOMSBURY
One such individual was Virginia Woolf, who along with her
husband Leonard, had a country retreat at Monk’s House in
Rodmell near Lewes from 1919. Fellow Bloomsbury Group
member Vanessa Bell found a house named Charleston
near Firle and many of the Bloomsbury Group visited the
pair, including Lytton Strachey, whose cousin and lover
Duncan Grant was co-director of the Omega Workshops
with Bell.
FERTILE HILLS?
Chanctonbury Ring is a hill-fort based ring of trees at the
top of Chactonbury Hill on the South Downs, on the border
of Washington and Wiston in West Sussex. Ancient tradition
dictates that if you run round the trees, the devil will appear
for a bowl of soup. However, if Lucifer doesn’t float your
boat, perhaps fertility might. Sleeping under the trees for a
night is rumoured to increase fertility in women.
SPLOSHY SEX
Sussex also lays claim to being the birthplace of the fetish
‘sploshing’, and we found it in St Leonard’s, where Bill
Shipton runs Splosh! Studios. For the uninitiated, sploshing
is a term for people who find sexual pleasure in getting
wet and messy. It generally entails engaging in food fights,
often with cream pies, custard, cake mix and, for those with
savoury inclinations, baked beans and raw eggs.
Bill says, “Sploshing puts humour back into sex - we’ve
become terribly serious about it. Although there’s a
humiliation aspect to it, there’s no dominance or submission
- it’s tit for tat. If you rub a custard pie in my face, I’ll rub it
back in yours.”
Should you wish to get sticky,Splosh Studios can be booked
for £25 per hour: all the fun without the washing-up to deal
with (but take it from me: custard is a nightmare to get out
of your hair due to the cornflour).
Putting the Sex into Sussex
Sploshing is a term for people who
find sexual pleasure in getting
wet and messy.It generally entails
engaging in food fights…
If you know where to look, there’s a lot of sex of all kinds going
on in Sussex. And I’ll be exposing more of its sexy past – and
present – over coming months. If you run a sexy venue, hotel,
event company or business in Sussex, please do get in touch.

SEXY SUSSEX

Joining Benidorm must be very
exciting. Tell us about your new
character…
My character is called Sheron
Dawson and she’s from Yorkshire... the
Dawsons are a very loving family but
she’s fierce and feisty.
We’ve heard that there may well
be some fireworks…
She’s matriarchal but not
overbearing and has a great relationship
with her husband, which is being tested
to the max by the presence of her father-
in-law Eddie. Eddie is a 13 year old child
in a grown man’s body. She’s not best
pleased that he’s there, to put it mildly.
They have massive ding dongs which as
an actress is always great fun to play.
How do you get on with the rest
of the cast?
We already feel like we’ve known
each other for years and we’ve slotted
in seamlessly thanks to the brilliant
writing and sheer loveliness of the
other cast members. It’s a very happy
ship, wonderfully led by Derren Litten,
the writer and creator. It’s always nerve-
wracking joining an established cast but
I’ve never felt more at home so quickly
and so comfortably. It helps that my old
mucker Tony Maudsley who plays the
fabulous Kenneth is in the cast. That’s
been a joy.
Are you loving Benidorm?
I bloody love Benidorm the place.
It takes a bit of getting used to but it’s a
bloody hoot and you see it all; nothing
is too over the top here. It’s Las Vegas
meets Blackpool with everything in
between.
How did you get the job?
I actually cannot believe this is a
job, I keep having to remember that I’m
not just here on holiday. I auditioned
for the role like any other but I really
wanted this job – and not just because
of the location. The writing is fantastic
and the character just leapt off the page
to me... she’s wonderful and I knew I
would have great fun playing her.
Are you going to be a regular?
Hopefully this won’t be our one
and only series as I’d love to do this
again for sure.
OK, so we have to ask – have you
worked with the legendary Dame Joan
yet?
Joan isn’t in it yet but I’ve been
trying to suck up to Derren Litten to
write me into a scene with her!
Johnny Vegas looks like he might
be a bit of a handful…
Jonny is a total riot, I love him to
pieces. We met years ago in Glasgow
and got horrendously drunk together.
He didn’t think I would remember him
andIthoughthewouldn’trememberme
but we did! Amazing we remembered
I actually cannot believe this is a job,I
keep having to remember that I’m not
just here on holiday.
FUN IN THE SUNExpect fireworks as the new season
of Benidorm kicks off, complete

anything to be honest. We were so hammered at
the time.
What next for Julie Graham?
I’m off to Scotland to film Shetland; better
pack my woollies. Frankly you couldn’t get much
more of a contrast.
Can you give us any kind of sneak preview
for the new series?
I can’t give any plots away; I’d have to kill you
if I told you, but fasten your seatbelts is all I’ll say…
Benidorm is the best thing we know for
chasing away the winter blues and the next
series, starring Julie as well as the rest of the
Dawsons and all your favourite regulars, will
air in early 2016.

TITLE WEDDINGS

Seeing
red
Not one of those girls who fancies getting married in white?
Considering something a little more daring? We caught up with
designer and corsetiere Chrissie Nicholson-Wild to find out more
about alternative bridal wear. Red makes your pupils dilate and
your pulse race. Ready for a red, racy wedding?

Who are you and what do you do?
I am Chrissie Nichoslon-Wild and I
am a visual artist who works mainly
in the field of costume and fashion.
I was trained as a Fine Artist where I
dabbled mostly in drawing, painting
and photography but didn’t really find
my creative hook until I started to dress-
make. Through my company Curve
Couture I make bespoke lingerie,
wedding and evening gowns. I also
have a new venture designing custom
bikini suits and theme wear for female
fitness and figure competitions which is
exciting, but my true love is in couture.
How did you end up here? Well, I
think learning is a virtue and my endless
curiosity has certainly driven my need
to express my artistic ideas. My life-
changing moment came when I was at a
low point in my life. Everything felt like it
was falling apart at the seams and my way
of taking back control was to start afresh.I
took the plunge to start my own business.
What is the best thing about what
you do? I make cool things, all day,
every day. I get to play with ideas and
use my hands to make those non-
physical ideas have physical form and
meaning. I also love the buzz from
making someone’s dream dress, or the
‘Eureka!’ moments when you literally
stumble on an elegant solution to a
problem that has been niggling away. I
love that I never get two days the same.
And the worst?! The guilt. I feel guilty
about not working even when I am
supposed to be on holiday.
Tell us how the bespoke service
works for brides? Most of my brides
are pretty adventurous and creative, and
rarely do I make an ordinary wedding
dress. I don’t do vanilla meringues.
That’s not to say I wouldn’t.... but it would
have to be a show stopping meringue!
Almost all enquiries start with a phone
call or e-mail, but it all really starts when
you meet your potential client. I like to
banter about their ideas, find out a bit
about them, and from there I go away
and make initial sketches. Most of the
time I ask them to set a budget for their
dress, and I request feedback, then I go
into more design depth, find fabrics,
trimmings, lace etc. Then we meet up
again so my client can sign off the design
and then the magic starts to happen.
I measure them up, and based on the
design I build any necessary foundation
garments and mock up the dress so
that the design can be fitted perfectly. It
also helps the client get some sense of
the dress itself, its weight, how it hangs
or feels on the body and all of those
things that are just as important as how
it looks on the outside. From there I
make any pattern adjustments from
the mock-up (or toile if you are posh)
and then I begin. I usually have at least
two fittings, sometimes more, with the
rest of the final look... heels, jewellery,
underwear etc. to do final checks and
tweaks and then I complete the dress.
Some dresses I’ve made have taken
hundreds of hours to complete from
start to finish all in, so all the mock-up
and fitting stages are paramount to the
final dress... even though they are not
obvious or visible.
What’s the weirdest outfit you’ve
ever had to make? Some of the
oddest outfits I have made were
costumes made for the make-up and
hair graduation shows at Brighton City
College. I made a male model a horse
outfit with a full Lycra black cat suit and
harness with attached stirrups, and the
hair designer had woven his hair into
a fantastic braided mohawk... that was
pretty far out.
Is there such a thing as a typical
day? Nope, not really. I have a daytime
routine with my little boy that has to
be maintained for familial life to run
smoothly and I fit my work around that
schedule. The most part will be spent
sewing, pattern cutting, answering
enquiries, setting up meetings or
shoots, social media, blogging.
Whatever needs to get done gets done
on the never-ending list of to-do.
What’s the last thing you do every
night? Set my alarm. Early bird catches
the worm.

Countdown
to the big day
Planning the perfect wedding day
can be a dream come true but
knowing where to start is often
daunting.Title Sussex is here to help
with a fabulous 12-month guide to
organising your big day
Words by Daniel White
June
• They’ve popped the question and you’ve said “yes” now it’s
time to tell everyone. Lots of couples prefer to tell their parents
first so make the announcement face-to-face if possible to fully
enjoy the moment.
• Pick a date and time. Select several options so availability can
dictate.
• Decide upon the budget for your big day with your partner.
• Pick a theme. Once you have decided the theme of your
wedding you will then be able to select your reception and
ceremony venues with relative ease. Book your venues as soon
as possible.
July
• Book your photographer and videographer, although, it is a
good idea to check your venue allows these to be shot inside.
• Book the caterer and band or DJ. Music and food are
key elements when it comes to guest enjoyment so ensure
everyone’s catered for.
• Choose your bridesmaids, ushers and best man and
assemble who will help you plan what.
August
• Envision, shop around and order your perfect gown or suit
– this can take up to six months for a made-to-measure dress -
also decide and order the outfits for your bridesmaids and
ushers.
• Book your florist. Envision the floral décor and then
choose your flowers including bouquets, buttonholes and
arrangements.
• Create an invite list and send out save-the-dates cards.
September
• Discuss your ideal honeymoon with your partner based on
the time of year and your dream vacation and make it a reality
by booking flights, accommodation, and activities during the
holiday.
• Research and purchase a wedding insurance policy to
protect your deposits.
• Book anything you may need to rent including chairs, tables
and tents.
October
• Book a chauffeur or some form of transportation to and from
the wedding venue, including a car to take you to the airport or
hotel at the end of the day.
• Book a cake designer and order your wedding cake.
• Reserve accommodation for out-of-town guests.This is
especially important if you’re marrying during the summer
months.

November
• Register for gifts and choose your
wedding favours with your partner.
• If you are having the wedding in a
church confirm with the priest or registrar
the order of service, then design and
print out guest booklets as well as copies
for singers or musicians. If it is a civil
ceremony check with the venue what
is permitted and then confirm order of
service.
• Attend as many wedding fairs as
you can to ensure you are on top of
everything and able to rectify a problem
should it arise.
December
• Choose and order your wedding
rings.
• Book a hairdresser and make-up
artist and run trial appointments to
ensure you are happy with the style
long before the big day. This will also
give you time to grow your hair out
before the wedding should you wish.
• Check your passports will be in date
come the big day and should they
be expiring send them for renewal. If
you’re changing your name, get the
officiating minister or registrar to sign
the form to confirm your name change.
January
• It can be tough to shop for the
summer month in winter and vice versa
but get into the January sales and get
as many outfits as you can for your
honeymoon, as well as sun tan lotion or
anything else that may be essential in
five months time.
• Shop for formalwear.
• Shop for invitations and order them.
February
• Check if you need visas or
inoculations for your honeymoon and
if so, apply and book accordingly.
• Discuss hen party and stag do plans
with your friends and place your best
man or maid of honour in charge of
organising it.
• Give notice that you will be getting
married to your local register office.
March
• Send out invitations.
• Organise a wedding rehearsal and
let those attending know when and
where they must be.
May
• Visit stylist for hair treatment or cut
• Review invitation list and chase any
guests who have not replied yet.
• Send your DJ or band your final
song playlist and don’t forget to
include songs you don’t want to hear
on the day!
• Send reception venue and caterer
final head count, including any special
requirements.
• Attend your stag do or hen party.
• Say “I do”.
• If you’re getting married in a church,
attend a reading of the banns.
• Write your vows and practice them in
front of friends or family.
• Book your final beauty treatments,
from fake tans to pedicures.
April
• Try on your whole outfit including
headdress, shoes, underwear and
anything else you plan to wear on the
day. If you’re missing something, now
is the time to get it.
• Call all vendors and booking to
confirm there has been no cancellation
or adjustment.
• Decide and send photographer and
videographer the must have shot list
including who, where and when the
formal portraits should take place.
• Purchase honeymoon currency.

People getting married for the second time (or third, or
fourth) are much more down to earth about the whole thing,
as Sam Harrington-Lowe discovers
I’m not exactly keen on
having a nightclub crawl
wearing a veil,L-plates
and bunny ears;I’m 43
years of age
N
ot so much the blushing bride, second time-arounders
are altogether a much more laissez-faire sort of crowd,
with spending patterns completely different to first timers.
Whereas girls marrying in their earlier days will spend a
fortune on bridal gowns, bridesmaid’s outfits and just exactly the right
shade of dove, those who’ve been through it before or round the block
a bit, will tend to be a bit more relaxed about the affair.
They’re more likely to have a quick ceremony, often approaching it in
a brisk cut-and-shut fashion without too much singing and hanging
about. I’ve been to a few second time arounders’ weddings and they’ve
galloped through the wedding with almost indecent haste so they can
get stuck in to the Veuve (they’ve all grown out of Moët by now), and
have a proper party. It’s a thoroughly satisfying state of affairs.
They’re keen to keep spending down on stuff like dresses and up on
stuff like the bar and honeymoons. Interestingly, men spend more on
engagement rings for their second marriages, according to a survey
by online jeweller comparejewellery.com, with a rise from an average
of £821 for the first missus that jumps to £2,050 for the lucky second.
48 per cent said it was simply because they had more faith in their
second marriage lasting, while others said it was just because they had
more money. However, they also spent less time choosing the ring,
with nearly half of them getting their fiancée to choose their own –
altogether a much more sensible approach if you ask me.
Second time arounders…

In terms of dresses, brides choosing for their second or third
marriage don’t spend a fortune on bridal gowns, according to
Katy Wilson of Walk in Wardrobe. “They want to feel special,” she
explains, “but they’re just not prepared to spend thousands on
bridal gowns – they’re not going to wear something big like that
again, and they’ve no interest in keeping it wrapped in tissue in
the loft, they want something they can maybe use in future. What’s
really interesting is that they’ll quite often come into my shop and
hire a dress that’s been worn before, but they will not buy a second-
hand dress off eBay or whatever. I think it’s seen as bad luck. But we
hire out loads of dresses for ladies to get married in. They have no
interest in keeping them afterwards, they get married and get on
with their lives.” It’s the same for men, who are less likely to go the
whole hog on morning dress and opt for a suit they can wear again.
Apart from a big knees-up on the day, the other big spend for the
second time arounders is often the hen and stag parties, and the
honeymoon. No L-plates in sight, you’ll often find your veteran hens
taking long expensive spa breaks, or trips overseas for experiential
weekends. Same with the boys, who roll out the readies for
adrenalin-fuelled activities, high-end eating and drinking, and
again, trips overseas. It’s either this, or the polar opposite with a
low-key dinner at a local restaurant. As the age group tends to be
a bit older, so the activities are reflected in the celebrations. As my
recently-married second time-arounder friend Sally remarked, “I’m
not exactly keen on having a nightclub crawl wearing a veil, L-plates
and bunny ears; I’m 43 years of age.”

hen I was offered the role as
a runner behind the scenes
at the Title photo shoot
I leapt at the chance of
getting involved. I’m a first
year student at the University of Brighton and
want to get as much experience in the media
industry as possible, so something like this was
a golden opportunity. Getting to be part of the
team that goes behind the curtain of an actual
fashion shoot was really exciting.
The only experience I’ve ever had is being in front of the
camera so I was very excited, if a little nervous. I had no
idea what to expect. My main focus was to get stuck in
and help as much as possible. It was really interesting
to see how a simple studio is used in a shoot like this,
even seeing that side of things was a new experience.
The first thing I did was meet the fashion designer
for the shoot, Jane Busby. With a keen interest in the
fashion industry, I was intrigued to see what outfits
Jane had selected for the shoot. My first job was to
hang up and organise the outfits and make sure they

were paired together correctly. The outfits varied from colourful swimwear to
cycling and gym wear. All were in bold, bright colours, which naturally gave
the shoot a happy, colourful vibe, with brightly coloured bikinis and edgy
trainers with features such as a burger attached to them.
After meeting Jane I met the photographer, Erika Szostak, and getting the
chance to meet a talented professional photographer and see her at work,
right in front of me, was an amazing experience.
As the day unfolded I got the chance to do many jobs for the shoot, including
running out to get hold of an inflatable parrot and some gym weights! I loved
seeing how versatile everyone was; no two pictures were the same and the
outfits and theme changed throughout the day. From athletic sports to a fun
day on the beach, it was fascinating to see two completely different themes
shot on the same day and in the same location.
The hardest part about the day was trying to make sure everyone had
everything they needed. Being part of a photo shoot for a magazine is a big
deal and and I wanted to get as much experience as possible and do my job
as well as I could.
I’ve always wanted the chance to see
how everything workes on a photo
shoot; from how outfits are selected,
to how the models work in front of
the camera, how the hair stylists
create amazing new looks each
time, and make-up artists do their
thing. I really enjoyed watching MUA
Charlene Howells working her magic
on the models - being a make-up
enthusiast myself it was cool seeing a
professional creating different looks
to work with the model’s outfits.
I learnt a lot on the day from working
with these professionals in such a
close environment; from the hair
stylists at Cove Hair, to Charlene, Jane
and Erika, everyone involved helped
create a fantastic shoot that I am
proud to have been a part of. Hope
I’m picked for the next one!

Intrepid gourmand Julie Burchill explores lunch at Jeremy’s at Borde Hill
The garden
of delights
I’ve never really been ‘at one’ with the natural
world - as a teenager my favourite book was
Against Nature by Huysmans (‘you may know
it by the original French title, A Rebours,
Maman!’ I would taunt my hard-working
blue-collar mother from my darkened
bedroom when she came to plead with me
yet again to get a Saturday job) and since
then I’ve pretty much stuck to my man-made,
non-biodegradable guns.
So when I was asked if I wanted to go to
Jeremy’s restaurant in Borde Hill Gardens,
a mere skip along the primrose path from
my beloved Brighton, I was initially unsure.
But my best friend The Botanist was very
excited about seeing the blooms; I adore
The Botanist, and feel that she will probably
be to me what The Blonde is to A.A Gill on
his chow-outings. She really is the ideal
companion; not only does she NOT DRINK
ALCOHOL so I get hers when there’s any
buckshee booze about, but she also drives
a car AND has a disabled sticker, so we can
PARK ANYWHERE, like royalty! When she
asked me recently if we would still be bezzies
if she didn’t have this wonderful benefit, I
answered kindly ‘Of course!’ before adding
‘But we probably wouldn’t see QUITE as

much of each other - especially in inclement
weather when I don’t much care for walking.’ Well,
they do say that honesty is the best policy. And
Jeremy’s boasts two AA Rosettes and a Regional
Restaurant of the Year Award - surely for this I could
put aside my beef with bucolicism for a few hours?
Champagne is, like Marxism, one of those things
which always promises far more than it delivers,
but as F.Scott Fitzgerald said of America, a
shimmering sliver of it before luncheon symbolizes
‘a willingness of the heart’ - especially so when I
get The Botanist’s glass as well as my own. I do
like a grey-painted bar; I always find that only
inherently dull people dislike neutral colours,
whereas interesting ones find them an agreea-
ble backdrop against which to repeatedly burst
forth as a revelation. We were shown to a shiny
table in a light-filled room, just the righte side of
Ye Olde. The bread was the first sign that we were
somewhere special; it tasted like sexy cake, like
some flashback Marie Antoinette might have had
just before execution. This earthy opulence set the
tone of the meal; The Botanist’s spinach soup was
like eating velvet and thus vaguely obscene, while
my tempura seafood was like having an indecent
proposal whispered into one’s mouth by a short-
sighted pervert.
The Botanist reported that her potato rosti was so
succulent it needed no chewing, which sounded
like a recommendation to some poor soul in
their dotage, on their deathbed or both, but I’m
sure was meant well. My hake was so fresh that I
half-expected it to jump up and plead ‘Please
don’t eat me!‘ but sadly so delicious that I would
probably have given it a dry slap and done
it anyway. Desserts - chocolate brownie with
buttermilk ice cream and pine nut cake with port
and fig - were so perfect that I briefly considered
breaking the habit of a lifetime and running out
into the glorious gardens lisping ‘Hello trees, hello
flowers!’ a la Molesworth. Indeed, I had promised
my abstentious amigo a quick stroll around the
grounds, but the elements were on my side and
as we made to leave the heavens opened - proof
that the rain rains on the just and the unjust, as The
Botanist and I scampered to her car. So, a perfect
luncheon indeed.

Sussex sees a number of wine-based events as part of English Wine Week
and the Brighton Food Festival. Sam Harrington-Lowe investigates…
English Wine Week
hits Sparkling Sussex
I
t is a truth, (almost) universally acknowledged,
that the globe is getting hotter. And whilst that’s
definitely not a good thing for polar bears and
ice caps, it’s something that’s had a fundamental
effect on our wine production here in Sussex.
Our chalky soil here in the South Downs is good
for vines, but it’s always been a bit cold. Ridgeview,
for example, have in the past had to employ
massive candles in between the vines and tales of
helicopters to keep away the frost abound. But an
overall average rise of around one degree means
that wine production is up, and the wine business in
Sussex and the South East is booming.
Geologist and viticulture guru Professor Richard
Selley, who has worked with UK vineyard giant
Denbies as a consultant, goes that bit further and
estimates that if temperatures continue to rise it
won’t be long before vineyards will need to consider
replacing their vines with types better suited to
warmer climates. Aside from having a positive effect
on our regional economy, there’s something very
satisfying about drinking wine that’s come from up
the road. And if you needed more evidence of this,
we recommend you investigate English Wine Week,
from 23-31 May 2015 (www.englishwineproducers.
co.uk/news/eww/).
To celebrate this boom, Brighton & Hove Food &
Drink Festival has a number of events this year. By
the time you read this, they’ll already have worked
through the Brighton Wine Fair at Hotel du Vin,
The Ridgeview Wine Dinner at Jeremy’s and the
Wines of New Zealand at Drakes. But fear not, if you
missed these treats, there’s plenty more viticulture
ahead. Here’s our guide:-
Saturday 23 May

RECIPEA taste of the sea
You might need an ‘R’ in the month for the best
shellfish, but May is an awesome time to eat crab
Peti te Baked CraB Cakes
SERVES 8
Fresh crab is in season right now – you can get it in
fishmongers all along the coast of Sussex, where
we are spoilt for choice in terms of the length of our
coastline. Look for fresh, clean crabs, and choose
these rather than using crab from a tin, as the
taste and smell is a bit fishy and metallic, and the
price is much the same as fresh anyway. For tasty
presentation, serve the crab cakes on large leaves of
lettuce, topped with thinly sliced radishes.
INGREDIENTS
250g crabmeat
½ cup (30g) panko bread crumbs
1 large egg
1 large egg white
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
2 tablespoons finely chopped red pepper
1 tablespoon light mayonnaise
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
A few dashes of Tabasco sauce
Sea salt
⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Cooking spray or oil mister
8 small lemon wedges, for serving
METHOD
In a large bowl, combine the panko, whole egg, egg white,
shallots, pepper, mayonnaise, parsley, lemon juice, Tabasco,
¼ teaspoon plus ⅛ teaspoon salt and black pepper. Pick over
the crabmeat to remove any bits of shell, then fold the meat
into the panko mixture, being careful not to overmix. Gently
shape into eight round patties with your hands, about ¼ cup
each. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before baking.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/Gas 7. Spray a non-stick
baking sheet with oil and arrange the crab cakes on it. Bake
until golden, turning once, 8 to 10 minutes on each side.
Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing.
TOP TIP
You can form the patties ahead of time and keep them
refrigerated until you’re ready to bake. These are perfect as a
starter or as a main course for four if served with a large salad.

What’ hot in the Sussex larder this month…
We’ve got an amazing
choice of game birds
and animals to choose
from on our doorstep
here in Sussex but
we’re simply not eating
enough of them.
Make mine a pint of Sussex
There’s been a veritable explosion of craft
brewing in the UK over the past couple of
years, and Sussex is home to some of the
best. Micro-breweries such as Unbarred
in Brighton, 360 Degrees at Sheffield
Park, and Isfield at Framfield are all
producing cracking beers that combine
quality ingredients and traditional skills
with creative flair. It’s also great to see
established brewers such as Brighton Bier
grow to a fully-fledged business supplying
thesouthcoastandintoLondon.Breweries
are also more accessible in terms of
allowing you to visit. Whilst the waiting
list for a tour of Harvey’s in Lewes is rather
lengthy, you can be ‘Brewer for the Day’ at
KingBeer in Horsham, helping out on all
aspects of the brewing process (KingBeer,
01403 272102, kingbeer.co.uk). If you’d
rather sit back and enjoy the labours of
someone else’s graft, then a great country
pub with a wide range of local beers is
The Bull in Ditchling (01273 843147,
thebullditchling.com). Or you can join me
at the Brighton Beer & Cider Festival on
Friday 29 and Saturday 30 May on Hove
Lawns, and sample over 50 beers and
ciders from Sussex, the Channel Islands,
London and the West Country (advance
tickets £7 from brightonfoodfestival.com)
– cheers!
I’m game, are you?
We’ve got an amazing choice of game
birds and animals to choose from on our
doorstep here in Sussex but we’re simply
not eating enough of them. Game is by
its very nature organic and free-range,
and it also tends to be a lot leaner than
farm-reared beasts. Rabbit, pigeon, wild
boar and the invasive species of Muntjac
deer are available pretty much year-round
whilst autumn and winter see pheasant,
grouse and the larger species of deer
appear. It’s absolutely essential that game
animals are managed in our countryside
as over-population causes many millions
of pounds of damage to crops, and across
the UK around 74,000 road accidents a
year are attributed to deer. Speak to your
local butcher about what game meats are
in season or visit Chanctonbury Game
in Washington, West Sussex (01903 877
551, chanctonburygame.co.uk), for a wide
choice of locally sourced game from the
fields, woods and downland of Sussex.
Or why not enjoy a Sussex game safari?
Knepp Castle Estate near Horsham has
over 3,500 acres of land where you’ll find
free-roaming herds of wild ponies, long-
horn cattle, deer and pigs, plus the option
to camp overnight (knepp.co.uk).
Food trends
Over the summer I think we’ll be seeing a
lot more of fermented food on the menus
of the county’s better eateries, and the
much vaunted but often disappointing
’street food revolution’ will continue to
mature with the likes of lobster burgers
and tempura oysters appearing on more
menus. Scandinavian cuisine will continue
to influence chefs, although it wouldn’t
surprise me at all if we saw more Korean
restaurantspoppingup.I’malsoconvinced
2015 will finally be the year of vermouth
– take a look at the utterly delicious silver
birch vermouth from Blackdown Artisan
Spirits near Pulborough (blackdowncellar.
co.uk). Martinis all round in the garden this
year then...

WE LOVE TO LICK…
Handmade dairy ice cream straight out of West Sussex.
Caroline’s Dairy Ice Cream comes from Chalder Farm, a
family dairy where the water meadows form part of the RSPB
Pagham Harbour Nature Reserve.
The cows are crossbreeds which produce creamy milk and
are robust, healthy cattle thriving on a grass based, GM-free
diet. The milk produced has a butterfat content of four per
cent, which is then added to cream to produce the delicious
ice cream. All of Caroline’s Dairy ice cream is hand-made
in small batches, using only the milk from the dairy herd at
Chalder Farm. This is natural, additive free ice cream at its
best from Sussex. We’re loving the Banoffee flavour, new this
summer.

Death by chocolate
The Chilli-Shop in Brighton launches an exclusive first, an awesome
chocolate brownie laced with the frankly terrifying Ghost ‘Death’ Naga
chilli. It’s a lovely soft, moist brownie, so you’re lulled into a false sense of
security before the million-Scoville chilli hit kicks in.
The shop teamed up with top bakery A Taste of Dreams (Glyndebourne)
to create what they claim is the hottest packaged chocolate brownie in the
world. And we’ve got our hands on some to give away to five, er, lucky
readers. Simply tell us the correct name for the Death or Naga chilli, and
we’ll pick out some winners at random. Email sam@titlemedia.co.uk with
CHILLI MADNESS in the subject line before 15 May 2015.

Same old sarnies?
A survey commissioned by Lurpak found that millions of workers have
the same lunch every day – and the top choice is the humble cheese
sandwich. It tops the list ahead of ham, chicken or salad and the results
showed 83 per cent of workers in the city eat an identical lunch each
day, with 16 per cent doing so for an average of seven years.
Come on you lot, try something new. We’re loving this fig,
Manchego and honey crostini. Messy makes the mouth water:
Spread Lurpak Spreadable on a rustic baguette and layer with
Serano ham and Manchego cheese. Chop a fig into wedges
and layer on top. Finish with a drizzle of honey and a scattering
of walnuts for extra crunch.

Here's to fruity body care
Boozi Body Care started life a few years ago with a business in
Brighton called SuziSoaps set up by Suzi McCarthy, making natural
handmade soaps and skincare products. One day, out with her
girlfriends over a cocktail (or three) inspiration struck. Cocktails work
so well; they taste and smell amazing! So she took a cocktail glass
of inspiration, shook it up with a dash of creativity, mixed in a twist of
the unique and tada! Boozi Body Care
was launched.
The brand won Silver in the Pure Beauty Awards for the Best Hand
Cream 2014, followed in early 2015 by an award for small businesses
presented and chosen by Theo Paphitis, as well as an award for
female entrepreneurs presented and chosen by Jacqueline Gold,
CEO of Ann Summers. This is cocktail-inspired, paraben-free body
care. What’s not to like?

NOTEBOOK

Hay Fever misery
Every year, hay fever sufferers endure a range of miseries, but
surprising new survey statistics reveal that a quarter of hay fever
sufferers wait up to two weeks after onset of their symptoms before
doing anything about it.
Pollen season is underway, so now is the time to start thinking about
hay fever prevention, before it takes over…
Tips for dealing with hay fever:
1. Know your forecast. Hay fever symptoms are likely to be more severe
when the pollen count is high, usually on hot dry days.
2. Avoid alcohol. Many alcoholic drinks contain histamine, which is
the chemical that triggers allergic reactions.
3. Stub it out. Smoking or inhaling other people’s smoke can irritate your airways
and aggravate symptoms, so cut out the fags.
4. Stop the spread. Pollen can be brought into the home from outdoors on our clothing and hair.
Take a shower and change your clothes after being outdoors.
5. Keep windows closed and clean them regularly with a damp cloth to avoid pollen building
up indoors.
Antihistamines are good but we also found this new product that blocks airborne allergens. It’s a
clear gel that can be applied under or over make-up. Definitely worth trying.
NasalGuard AllergieBLOCK is £11.99 for 150 applications and available at selected Boots, Superdrug &
Sainsbury’s stores and Alliance Pharmacies.

Making mountains
out of moles
Would you know what to look for when checking your
moles? The sun is coming, which is always a good thing,
but with sun comes the possibility of skin damage, or worse.
Survival rates vary dramatically depending on when the
melanoma is caught. For example, a stage 1A diagnosis has
a 95% ten year survival rate, while stage four has a ten year
survival rate of just 10% - 15%.
What to look out for…
1. Rapidly growing or enlarging moles
2. Moles that change shape and become irregular or asymmetrical
3. Blurring of the borders of a mole
4. Changing colour, particularly darkening, or more variations of colour appearing
5. Ulceration or bleeding
If you’re experiencing any of the above, see a doctor straight away. Over the past year, according to a survey
by whatclinic.com, there has been a whopping 94% increase in Sussex people checking for moles and making
enquiries for removal. Make sure you have a regular mole check and always use sun screen.

Q
This girl can
Ever wondered what it takes to be a bodybuilder? Title caught up with
Angela Dolan - No 63 above - to find out more...
When and why did you first get
started in bodybuilding?
I’ve always been interested in
bodybuilding as I’ve had friends that
have done it – that and powerlifting. For
the past ten years I’ve run marathons,
and I’ve always weight/resistance
trained alongside my running. I really
love looking strong rather than skinny,
so this is why my direction has changed.
It’s fun working out with the boys too!
What was your perspective
on fitness before you started
bodybuilding?
I work at Stables boxing and fitness
gym as a PT, where I help boxers get fit
for fights using interval training and
boxing drills. I think exercise and diet are
key to keeping happy and healthy. It has
always been a part of my life.
Tell us about your training
I weight train five days a week and
run or do cardio three times per week
usually, but I always join in when I do
the classes at work or with a client. I
just can’t stop myself! Then four weeks
before a competition I do 45mins cardio
before breakfast as well. No days off!
How widespread are drugs
such as steroids in the world of
bodybuilding?
For guys yes, to compete in the
bigger classes it really is a given. Not so
much for women though.
Is there still a taboo surrounding
female bodybuilders?
I think there is. Skinny is still more
fashionable and I think it’s a real shame.
Strong is beautiful! The most common
thing people ask me is, “Oh like Jody
Marsh?” I think she did really well, but
I’m not sure if she’s a good ambassador
for women – or bodybuilding…
What is the best asset of your
physique/body?
I would say my back and abs.
What has been the highlight/low
point of your bodybuilding career to
date?
Highlight is seeing changes in
my body weekly, that’s exciting. And
competing was amazing. I’m not done
yet. Low point was the last week before
the comp. No carbs! White fish and
asparagus, five times a day. Not that I
was starving but I became forgetful.
Lost my phone and keys daily.
What keeps you motivated?
I would say I’m bloody-minded.
Until I place in the British finals I will keep
going. Also to be in the best shape of
my life at 40 is amazing. My coach, DD at
Physiques Training, has been amazing.
He has coached me and looked after
my diet and nutrition as well as tanning
and pumping me up before I jump on
stage and being the loudest voice in the
audience cheering me on.

Angela’s Day
I do cardio 30-45mins before food, and I have
water with every meal.
Breakfast is oats, whey protein, fruit and cinnamon
Meal 2 - turkey and broccoli
Meal 3 - white fish, basmati rice, mixed greens
Meal 4 - green salad with salmon or mackerel
Meal 5 - sweet potato with mixed greens and turkey
Meal 6 - oats and cinnamon
It’s all about eating clean, eating regularly and
drinking water.
What advice do you have for people who would like to
begin bodybuilding?
Do it! You need to be organised so food prep is a vital
part alongside the actual training.
What are your plans for the future?
I placed 5th out of 12 in the UKBFF regional heat in
Portsmouth and to place for the British finals you need a 1st
or 2nd, so after having a few days off I’m back on it. I will try
again to place in Kent on the 30th August. So it’s time to work
on my weak points and pose, pose, pose!
Can you outline a typical day of training for you in the
build up to a competition?
6am is water and 45min cardio. I run with my dog and
include stair climbs and hills. Then 7am I’ll have my first meal,
10am another meal, then head to the gym for boxing drills
at midday. After that at 12.30pm I’ll have meal number three,
then do some more training at 2.30pm before eating meals
again at 4.30pm,6.30pm and 8.30pm and I’m in bed by 10pm
latest. Water with every meal too, that’s really important.
What is your favourite healthy meal?
Turkey with sweet potato and broccoli, or oats with
whey protein powder and cinnamon.
And your favourite cheat meal!?
Coco pops or dippy egg with toast.

Everyone flocks to Bora Bora and San Antonio to party, but why
not try ditching the crowds and relaxing in peace on one of Ibiza’s
lesser-known beaches off the beaten track.
Cala Llentrisca
An old timber jetty sits in the middle of this peaceful, almost deserted strip of coast. The crescent shaped beach
offers crystal blue water and tranquillity that couldn’t be further from the madness of Bora Bora. Although it’s a
pretty isolated area, its natural beauty makes it well worth the journey.
Where: From Sant Josep, follow the road south to Es Cubells. From here, wind your way down the road to the
coast whilst enjoying the lush views. A footpath will take you to the beach from there.
Before you leave: Stop off for a drink at Es Cubells, a small village nestled among lemon, orange and olive groves.
Bar Llumbi is a family owned bar and restaurant that offers unspoilt views of the coast as well as a traditional
Spanish menu.
Cala Olivera
The calm, clear waters of this
untouched cove mean you’ll just
have to dive in and swim. Make a day
of it and enjoy the beautiful views out
to sea away from the noisy crowds;
however you may be sharing this
hidden gem with locals or even the
occasional naturist who stops by to
top up their tan.
Where: On the East coast of Ibiza, past
the gated community of Roca Llisa.
Before you leave: There isn’t much
in the way of bars and restaurants
nearby, so bring a little picnic.
2
Cala Salada
This secluded beach is perfect for snorkelling and cliff jumping (if you’re
brave enough). For the explorers amongst you, hike to Ses Fontanelles to
catch a glimpse of the famous Bronze Age cave drawings.
Where: A short drive from San Antonio.
Before you leave: Visit one of the local beach shacks for a fresh lime mojito.
Several refreshments later, be a daredevil and head round to Salada’s
secluded sister beach for a spot of skinny dipping.

FIVE SECRET BEACHES

Feel at one with nature at
this beach as you breathe in
the scent of the pine trees
and admire the scenery.
Es Xarcu
Another beach favoured by locals.
Feel at one with nature at this beach
as you breathe in the scent of the pine
trees and admire the scenery. Be sure
to wear flip flops as the sand is quite
rocky, although the seabed itself is
cushiony soft.
Where: Situated on the south coast,
between Es Torrent and Cala Jondal.
Before you leave: Take a short detour to
Es Xarco (one bay away) for a delicious
seafood lunch and a bottle of wine.

Benirras Beach
Okay so this isn’t exactly a ‘secret’
beach (it can get quite busy
during peak season) but it’s well
worth checking out. This small but
picturesque bay boasts crystal clear
water perfect for swimming and
snorkelling.
Where: On the island’s north-west
coast, just past San Miguel.
Before you leave: Enjoy the
gorgeous Ibiza sunset, which is
often accompanied by drummers
who arrive on the beach to ‘drum
down the sunset’.

Each month we make it our business to explore Sussex and check out what’s going on. This
month, the lovely ancient town of Chichester gets the Title treatment…
Amber is a 23 year old accountant from Funtington
who was out shopping with her boyfriend. Scarf from
All that Glitters, top Miss Selfridge, jeans TopShop,
boots Miss Selfridge and the big shades are Givenchy
at Boots. Loving the look.
Louise Jones from Elmer Sands near Bognor is
65 and was rocking a very chic look in her Phase
Eight coat, River Island jeans and Reikei boots.
Bag is Ralph Lauren; “My son bought it for me,”
she said, “so I’m hoping it’s a real one.”

Evie Wilson from Arundel is seven years old
and we loved her look. She said her mum helps
her choose her clothes but she really likes looking
good! Dress from Matalan, furry gilet from Zara,
socks from Next and trainers from Converse.
Ashley, 25, is working at Montezumas and was
handing out chilli and lime chocolate samples. “I
came here to study music and ended up staying
and working in a chocolate shop. I play in a
music duo now though too, call Tom & Ash, we
play Spanish guitar music.”
Nick is 55 and from Shoreham and had just
rolled out of Cote where he’d been celebrating
his wife’s birthday with a good lunch. We loved
Nick’s shirt (from Boden) and whilst we were
photographing him, his wife and the rest of the
party were killing themselves laughing. Thanks
for stopping for us Nick! Jeans from Next and
shoes from Jones.
Nile Wade and Kaylum,both 18,were practicing
their parkour, running and leaping over everything
in sight, Kaylum practicing a flying somersault
from standing. They’ve known each other for
about three years and were filming themselves,
which they stream live for others to watch. Nile (on
the bench) is in a Topman top, shorts from Sports
Direct, leggings from Primark and Puma trainers,
whilst Kaylum opts for Guinness top, Slazenger
trakkies and trainers from Foot Locker. “We go
through a lot of trainers,” said Kaylum.

Fresh FieldsElderflower Fields was born in 2012 out of a desire to create a
new festival in Sussex that puts families and kids first. So what
better arena for dance phenomenon Big Fish Little Fish? Title
caught up with BFLF founder Hannah Saunders…
Photographs by Leon Neal and Sophia Spring
What is BFLF? Big Fish Little Fish is a
family rave. We are seasoned clubbers
and parents and use this experience to
create anarchic, social, daft, fun parties
for all ages. I designed it with my own
family in mind - somewhere relaxed,
entertaining, and where the adults enjoy
themselves as much as the children
and vice versa. It’s a great mix of music,
dancing, crafts, play, drink and food and
people are evangelical about us.
Where did the idea come from? I
love music, dancing, clubbing and have
young children that I have taken to
festivals since they were a few months
old - having a great time together. At
other times of the year I was at a loss to
find something we all enjoyed. Family

TITLE FAMILIES
friendly activities were either 100% child-centric or, if it’s more adult-orientated
like going out for a Sunday lunch in a pub, then the kids get bored. The kiddie
discos I heard about didn’t really do it for me musically and I realised there wasn’t
anything providing that celebratory sense of freedom for all ages outside of the
summer and so decided to create it myself.
Tell us what happens at a typical event, if there is such a thing… Our
regular parties are two and a half hours long on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon
in a quirky pub or club venue. About 500 people attend - families with children
aged eight or under. The main dance room has top club and festival DJs spinning
excellent music - from hip hop to ska, big dose of 90s rave and a good smattering
of drum ‘n’ bass with a splash of quality pop - under club visuals, bubble machines,
glitter cannon and the legendary parachute dance at the end.
In another room is the Happy Monkey craft room with themed crafts (each party has
a theme), giant colouring mural, Play-Doh table and transfer tattoos - all managed
by Captain Cookie. We also have other areas: a baby chill-out space with sofas,
yoga mats, bean bags and small ball pool and a more rough and tumble play
area with tents and tunnels. Every child gets a free glowstick when they enter and
a goodie bag with a Happy Monkey smoothie and Bear snack when they leave.
Increasingly we also have additional performers and workshops - we had a Korg
synth one, children’s theatre, storyteller and interactive light projections; Thames
Discovery Project brought some artefacts along to one recently.
Who are the people involved in the event? We’re a small team - we do
indeed feel like a family. The main organisers (myself, Natasha Morabito, Alfie
Willmott) are all parents who got to know each other through our children and
are all big music/club/festival lovers. Our other halves get roped in to roadie/
bookkeep/take care of the kids/steward at parties. Natasha’s husband Joe
Muggs is a famous dance music writer, manager and DJ and will be doing the
DJ honours at Elderflower Fields. A huge number of DJs have now played
