GETTING THE RIGHT
ANGLEINTERIOR STYLE IS ALL ABOUT SHAPE
THIS SEASON, AS GEOMETRIC PATTERNS ARE TRULY COMING INTO THEIR OWN.
GABRIELLE FAGAN EXPLORES THE LATEST TRENDS ON OFFER AND HEARS FROM THE EXPERTS ABOUT HOW YOU COULD GIVE YOUR HOME THAT ‘WOW’ FACTOR WITH BEAUTIFUL EDGES AND
STUNNING STRAIGHT LINES
Even if you hated maths at school, it could be time to brush up on
your geometry, as decor focuses on shapes and angles. Lines,
triangles, hexagons, chevrons and circles are proliferating in
pattern and are a must-have, not just for this season, but beyond.
“Geometrics are a popular choice for bringing pattern into the
home, with sharp, angular designs such as zigzags and graphic prints
currently leading the way as favourites,” says Kate Tansley, Creative
Director at Multiyork. “Softer on the eye, circular geometric-style
prints are also making an impact and are a great way to introduce
the trend into a space and give it a stylish uplift. Geometric patterns
lend themselves perfectly to fabric and can easily turn functional
furniture, like a sofa or chair, into a striking statement piece.”
Of course, geometry isn’t solely represented in print; natural
geometry is all around us and it can be found in furniture design
and architecture, so there’s no need to completely redesign
your home to add a touch of the trend.
Our love of shape and angle goes back through history;
the ancient Greeks and Moroccans both used its principles
in their interior design. Today, many leading designers use
strong geometric shapes, combined with symmetry, to
bring a coveted feeling of elegance, order and tranquillity
to spaces.
“Art Deco-inspired interiors, with their characteristic
geometric lines and patterns, are enjoying a renaissance,”
agrees Karen Anderson, Editor at online interiors
company, Alison At Home. “The 2013 Great Gatsby film
had a big influence as fashion’s embraced pattern and
shapes as well. Perhaps more significantly, we’re living
through cash-poor times and the fact that this trend
so effortlessly creates a sense of opulence makes
it very desirable. If you really want a ‘wow’ factor,
introduce geometrics in monochrome or gold.”
So, forget Pythagoras’ theorem and all that
baffles – the correct answer is to sum up your
style with glamorous geometric shapes.
EXQ_2_Bovis_National_InteriorDesign.indd 8 02/02/2015 12:02
INTERIOR DESIGN
MONO MAGICDevotees of neutrals have known all along that colour may be cool for the moment, but clean, sharp monochrome or fashionable smoky grey schemes have timeless appeal and suit any interior.
“People often think these patterns can only work in bold, bright colours, but that’s a misconception because they work equally well in monochrome or grey palettes,” says Katie Watson, interior designer at furniture specialists, Fishpools. “The combination of strong design in monochrome shades creates a clean-cut, classic look that’s easy on the eye and can easily be enlivened, if necessary, with ‘pops’ of colour.”
TIP: When it comes to shapes, the look you create will depend on the lines and angles you pick. Curved lines give geometrics a retro twist, whereas sharper angles look more contemporary.
DO YOUR SUMS: Work the room with patterned walls or fl ooring. A monochrome pattern of squares on the Mardi Gras 599 Sagres vinyl fl ooring, from CarpetRight, could enhance a feeling of space in a room and is a snip at £12.99 per square metre.
Fired Earth’s Graphix porcelain tiles, suitable for both walls and fl oors, come in a pale neutral ‘Chip’ or a darker ‘Grid’ and have an interesting 3D effect. They are £124.76 per square metre or £5.50 per tile.
Just one piece can make a statement and a Lucien easy chair can be upholstered in Tessalate Raven fabric with a triangle pattern, from £1,162, Parker Knoll.
Experiment with the look before you commit by adding a few accessories, such as a Conran modern pop colour rug, from £129, Marks and Spencer, or an op art espresso cup set, £9.95, ZiggiZiggi. For metallic magic, a metal tray table, £195, Alison At Home, could fi t the bill.

NATURAL PATTERNSoft green and yellow shades paired with pattern are a subtle choice and in tune with our desire to feature the colours of nature and showcase natural materials like wood and stone.
“Pattern and colour can be daunting to use at fi rst, so play around with samples of fabric to make sure you’re picking up on a similar colourway or design, as this will ensure cohesion in a scheme,” says Kate Tansley at Multiyork. “‘Less is more’ is a good rule to follow, even if you’re passionate about these patterns. Too many ‘busy’ or varied prints can make a room feel chaotic, so limit your choice to two or three and ensure there are enough neutral accents to balance them out.”
TIP: To make a furniture piece the centre of attention, opt for a large, oversized geometric print in a vibrant colour palette.
DO YOUR SUMS: Next is never slow to pick up on a trend and there’s a retro feel to its Scattered Geo wallpaper, £15 a roll, and its reversible Retro Stem two-pack bed set, from £32. Grey and yellow oblongs have visual impact in the Geometric Yellow wallpaper panel, £40, Digetex Home.
Look no further for a statement piece than the Labyrinth chair in green, by Moooi, which has a green and white maze-like pattern, £2,340, available to order from Viaduct. If that would break the bank, simply cover an existing sofa or chair in a neutral coloured throw and add an Athens cushion or two, which feature a similar fabric and cost £75 each, In-Spaces.
Opt for ‘50s nostalgia – an era of abstract patterns and colour – with a Tray for Ruth, £34, Jasmine Way, decorated in yellow, black and green triangles.
OUT OF THE BLUEBlue still reigns supreme in interiors, and whether you choose its palest hues or deep indigos, pair it with pattern and it will surely pack a punch and speak volumes about your decor credentials.
“Create your own take on the Scandi-look by introducing bold, geometric prints in a neutral backdrop, to give your home a clean, modern feel,” says Philip Watkin, designer at sofa specialists, DFS. “Choose soft, cool colours to refl ect as much light as possible and open up small spaces to make them feel bigger, then experiment with bold patterns. Small or large doses of geometric pattern will help create a lively, interesting scheme.”

TIP: Choose a framed print with a geometric design in a dominant colour on a bright background. Place it in a focal point in your room and keep the wall a pale colour. The eye will focus on the pattern while the wall will appear to fade away, expanding the space.
DO YOUR SUMS: A focal point in a room, a chimney breast wall or alcoves, could be transformed with a geometric pattern wallpaper. Scion’s Dhurrie wallpaper in a rich turquoise, £34 a roll, is bold and beautiful.
Treat the toes and a room to the Raritan wool rug, £510, Calligaris, with its block pattern in grey and blue. Pick up on the trend with a Barton footstool in a triangular blue pattern, at a special price, £378, DFS.

A brand new home is just not the same without shiny new appliances in the kitchen – and we all need the extra storage space that comes from built-in wardrobes. Unlike many housebuilders, Bovis Homes include a great deal more in the price so you can
simply move in and enjoy your surroundings without paying for expensive extras

CRAFTED KITCHENSEach kitchen is designed to maximise the
space available and provide a practical
layout. Featuring both contemporary
and traditional door designs, as well as
contrasting work surfaces all included
in the price, each Bovis Homes kitchen
can be selected (subject to stage of
construction) to suit your tastes.
ADDED EXTRAS AS STANDARDA Bovis Home will often include superb
extra features in your contemporary new
kitchen too – a stainless steel cooker and
hob, integrated fridge freezer, dishwasher
and maybe even a washer-dryer could help
complete the look. The use of these items
will depend on the space available and
individual development, so please check
with your sales advisor.
ENVIABLE EN-SUITESMost of their homes feature an en-suite
shower or bathroom to the master
bedroom, while the larger family homes
often include more than one additional en-
suite. Long queues for the bathroom will
be a thing of the past!
AMPLE STORAGE SPACEAdequate storage can sometimes be
a problem, but with built-in wardrobes
provided to most master bedrooms and
often to further bedrooms in a number
of larger properties, there should be no
excuse for accumulating clutter in a new
Bovis Home!
TAKE THE TOURBovis Homes are continuously reviewing
their properties to ensure they provide
contemporary, quality new homes for their
customers. You can take a first-hand look
at the quality of design and build by going
on a virtual tour of one of their homes
at www.bovishomes.co.uk. A number of
house types are featured, from apartments
to large family homes – so why not take a
look before making an appointment to visit
the development of your choice?

A HELPING HAND
HELP TO BUY EQUITYWhether you’re a fi rst-time buyer looking to get on the property ladder or an existing homeowner ready to move, the Government-backed Help to Buy scheme could make that dream home a more affordable reality
WHAT IS IT?The Help to Buy scheme was announced in the 2013 Spring Budget
and includes a shared equity package aimed at getting fi rst-time
buyers and existing homeowners on and up the property ladder.
Available to purchasers of new-build properties to the value of
£600,000, the buyer only needs a 5% deposit, and receives an
equity loan from the Government of up to 20%. There is no cap on
your earnings to qualify.
HOW DOES IT WORK?Ideal for those struggling to raise large deposits for a new home,
the 5% deposit requirement and the 20% equity loan of Help to
Buy mean you have access to 75% loan-to-value mortgages and
therefore more competitive interest rates. The Government loan
is interest-free for the fi rst fi ve years and can be repaid once your
mortgage is paid off or upon the sale of your home.
WHAT DO I DO NEXT?If you are interested in the Help to Buy scheme, which is available now,
you will need to get in contact with a participating housebuilder, such as
Bovis Homes, or your local HomeBuy agent, who will be your fi rst point
of contact.
THE SMALL PRINTThe equity loan must be repaid after 25 years or earlier if you sell your
home. You must repay the same percentage of the proceeds of the sale to
the Government as the initial equity loan (e.g if you received a 20% loan,
you will need to pay back 20% of the proceeds of the sale).
The loan is interest-free for the fi rst fi ve years. However, if the loan is not
paid back within this time, the interest will rise to 1.75% and continue to
rise annually by Retail Price Index (RPI) infl ation plus 1%.
HELP TO BUY GUARANTEEWith the assistance of this Government-backed incentive, securing your dream home has never been easier
WHAT IS IT?With the support of Help to Buy Guarantee, a mortgage works in
exactly the same way as any other, except that the Government
offers lenders the option to purchase a guarantee on mortgage loans.
Lenders taking part are therefore able to offer homebuyers more high-
loan-to-value mortgages (80 to 95%), which makes this a low-deposit
home buying solution. There is no equity loan element to this scheme.
HOW DOES IT WORK?The scheme is offered by mortgage lenders across the UK on existing
or new-build homes priced up to £600,000. You can apply for a
mortgage through participating high street lenders or through a
mortgage broker, who will then check that you can afford the mortgage
and that you don’t have a history of payment diffi culties. You will still
be fully responsible for your mortgage repayments, so if you have a 5%
deposit, you will need to take out and pay back a 95% mortgage.
WHAT DO I DO NEXT?Your fi rst step is to fi nd your home and talk to your lender (look out
for the Help to Buy logo). Head to www.helptobuy.org.uk for further
information and some helpful FAQs about the scheme. You can also
get advice from the Money Advice Service by visiting
www.moneyadviceservice.org.uk.
THE SMALL PRINTTo qualify for a mortgage supported by this scheme:
• You mustn’t own any other property anywhere in the
world at the time you buy your home
• Your mortgage must be a repayment one, not interest-only.
Offset and guarantor mortgages are also excluded
• You can’t let out the property to somebody else
• Your mortgage can be taken out by an individual or individuals,
but not by a company
• You can’t use the mortgage guarantee scheme with any other
Government incentive, such as Help to Buy Equity Loan or
Shared Ownership. Your deposit for the property can’t come
from a Government scheme either
• You don’t have to pay any additional fee to the Government to
get a Help to Buy supported mortgage
• The scheme will run until December 31 2016
YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP THE REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE OR ANY OTHER DEBT SECURED ON IT.
Terms and conditions apply to all these schemes. Find out more at www.bovishomes.co.uk
Buying or selling a home can prove
to be a challenge. The good news
is that there are several schemes
out there that can help. Read

“Simply select a new Bovis Home, register with the Smooth Move service and they will do the rest”
WHAT IS IT?Smooth Move helps you to sell
your current property if you are
looking to buy a Bovis Home.
The idea is to get you moved
into your new place as soon as
possible and makes the process
so much easier. All estate agent
fees are paid for by Bovis Homes
when you move in so you can
save up to 2% of your property
value.
HOW DOES IT WORK?Using the service couldn’t be
easier. At least two local estate
agents will value your current
property and Bovis Homes will
suggest a selling price. Bovis
Homes will deal directly with
the agents for the duration of
the process to save you the
hassle. Once a buyer is found
the company will recommend a
solicitor, should you require one,
to help carry out the legal side
of the sale.
WHAT DO I DO?Simply select a new Bovis Home,
register with the Smooth Move
service and they will do the rest.
A £500 deposit is required when
you sign up to the scheme, which
will be refundable against the
reservation and purchase price
of your new home.
THE SMALL PRINTThe Smooth Move scheme is only
available on certain plots and
may not be used alongside any
other promotions.
Terms and conditions apply,
asks sales advisors for more
information.
HOME EXCHANGEIf you’ve fallen in love with a new home and can’t wait to move up the property ladder, why spend time buying and selling when you can simply exchange?
WHAT IS IT?Home Exchange is a stress-
busting scheme from Bovis
Homes that makes moving house
easier than it has ever been before.
Not only could you save time, you
could also save money. There are
no buyers that might drop out and
no one can snap up the house you
have set your heart on. The best
part is that you are not dealing
with an estate agent, meaning
you save fees of up to 2% of your
current property value plus VAT.
HOW DOES IT WORK?First of all, you choose your
dream Bovis Home. Next, two
or more estate agents will visit
your current home and agree on
a reasonable price that reflects
current market value. If the
property is suitable then Bovis
Homes will buy your house at
the agreed price and you can
move into your new Bovis Home
as soon as it is ready.
WHAT DO I DO?Have a look on the Bovis Homes
website and find a house that
you like. Then get in touch to find
out if the property is eligible for
Home Exchange. Usually it takes
two weeks for Bovis Homes to
make an offer on your current
property after you have chosen
a new home. Once you have
agreed the offer a full survey is
carried out on your property.
THE SMALL PRINTThe property you are selling
should be worth no more than
75% of the value of the new Bovis
Home you wish to purchase. A
deposit of £500 (of which £250
is non-refundable) will be taken
upon reservation, and will be
included in the price of your new
property. Another £250 will be
required for legal completion of
the transaction and is returned
after 14 days provided that the
property you are selling is in
adequate condition.
SMOOTH MOVEBuying and selling a property need not be time-consuming and stressful. And with Smooth Move you can save thousands of pounds too.

For police community support
officer Michelle Buckley, a visit
to a new Dawlish development
to introduce herself to the
Bovis Homes team there
proved to be a life-changing
experience. The 24-year-old
wanted to find out if the staff
at Nickleby Place had any
issues or concerns to report
– and a few months later she
and partner Aaron Paltridge
(22) found themselves moving
into one of the brand new
homes there thanks to the
Government-backed Help to
Buy scheme.
The property the first-time
buyers secured is a three-
bedroom Beardsley house
type with a large, spacious
sitting room, modern dining
area and fully fitted kitchen
with patio doors leading to the
rear garden.
“We wanted a three-
bedroom home because
we want to have a family,”
Michelle explains. “It also
has a really nice garden,
two parking spaces and a
downstairs toilet, as well as a
cut-off between the kitchen
and the lounge, which is ideal
because we didn’t want to
have an open plan.
“People have said to us
that, rather than just getting
on the property ladder, we’ve
taken two steps up! First-time
buyers normally start with
something simple, like a one
or two-bedroom property.
In terms of location, it’s also
perfect as it’s near to where
we both work and our families
live close by too.”
With the Help to Buy
scheme, the purchaser
receives a Government equity
loan of up to 20% of the cost
of the property, leaving a 5%
deposit and 75% mortgage
required by the buyers.
“I would say it was easy
to use and we were given
lots of information about
the scheme before making
the commitment,” says
Michelle. “We also received
further information about the
breakdown of the scheme and
repayments. I didn’t have to
do anything to set up Help
to Buy, so it was a stress-free
process. I was simply sent the
paperwork and then had to
sign where indicated.”

information before making the commitment”

CUSTOMER STORIES
When first-time buyers Amy
and Daniel Hutton began
searching for their new home,
they never expected to find it
while taking their dog Reggie
for a walk.
Amy (22), who works in
internal sales for a construction
company, and Daniel (25),
a web developer, bought a
four-bedroom detached house
at Rose Acres in St Neots,
Cambridgeshire soon after
taking a detour through the
Bovis Homes development
while out on a stroll with their
pooch. They originally moved
to the picturesque town
three years ago for better job
opportunities and were keen to
settle in the area.
“We hadn’t been looking
for long,” says Amy. “We used to
live near this development and
saw the house when out
walking our dog, so we enquired
about it. Everything happened
really quickly from there.”
While buying a property is
often the biggest investment
you can make, the couple
weren’t daunted by the
experience and used Help to
Buy Equity to purchase the
home.
“The whole buying process
and experience was excellent
because of the first-class
service we received from the
Bovis Homes sales team,” says
Amy. “Everything was very
straightforward and we were
given lots of help. We bought
the house when it was little
more than a shell, but we could
see how it was going to turn
out, and by looking at the show
home, we felt confident that the
end result would be a beautiful
new home.
“We chose this property
because we wanted a house
that we could live in for a
long time and grow into. We
both work in the town, so the
location is ideal for us.”

CUSTOMER STORIES
A combination of the Help to
Buy scheme, support from
Bovis Homes and a touch of
good old fashioned fate saw
the Stevenson family move into
a brand new three-bedroom
family home at Byron’s Wood
in Hucknall.
Nick, who works in the home
improvement industry, and Jo,
a hairdresser, along with their
three children, had been renting
in the area while trying and
failing to get on the property
ladder in their hometown.
“We used to rent a Bovis
Homes property on this
development for about two
and a half years, but then
more houses began being built
and the Help to Buy scheme
became available,” explains Jo.
“We had tried years ago to buy
a property, but couldn’t get a
deposit, so we were
really excited about this
assistance scheme. We both
work and have family in the
area, so we really wanted to
live here. Buying this property
felt like fate and that it was
meant to be.
“We found the buying
experience very relaxed as
we were never pressured
into anything,” says Nick.
“The sales team were very
helpful and friendly and the
assistance we received from
the recommended mortgage
advisor was second to none.
“What attracted us to the
property was the layout and
size, which we felt would suit
us as a family and it was always
our plan to buy a new build, as
it would be a blank canvas for
us to make our own.”

CUSTOMER STORIES
A Cheshire couple are
celebrating having more
room for manoeuvre after
part exchanging their three-
bedroom apartment for
a stunning five-bedroom
detached Bovis Home.
Dr Thari Ratladi and his
wife Diane were second-
time buyers when they
moved into their brand
new home in Wychwood
Village, Weston, using the
housebuilder’s own Home
Exchange scheme.
And the couple couldn’t
be happier after making
the decision to move,
because their old apartment
had become unsuitable for
their needs, particularly
those of their three-year-old
son, Theo.
“We were looking to stay
in the area as it’s perfect for
my husband’s work and we
really like the local school
too,” says Diane. “But we
wanted more of a family
home, with a garden, which
was really important for
our son. Thanks to Bovis’
Home Exchange scheme,
we were able to move out of
the apartment that we had
outgrown and into a five-
bedroom detached house
with a nice big garden.”
Diane and Thari said that
they received excellent
customer service from Bovis
Homes and in particular
thanked Sales Advisor
Jenny for her hard work and
dedication.
“The whole process was
so smooth,” continues Diane.
“We sat down with Jenny
and she said, ‘Just hand it
all over to me and I’ll do all
the work’. She took on the
bulk of the work and it all
ran like clockwork. It was
a big weight off our minds
– we could just enjoy the
experience.”

For some homebuyers,
landing that dream
property can take years.
Not so for supply chain
administrator Natashia
Ralphs (28) and site
engineer Fraser Newton
(29), who knew that the
three-bedroom, semi-
detached house at Carlett
Glade in Eastham was
for them, making the
dream a reality by using
Help to Buy Equity.
The couple had seen
this development being
built from the start, but
were worried that the new
homes would be out of
their budget. However,
when they saw the prices
of the first properties
being released and looked
into the Government-
backed scheme, with its
20% equity loan and 5%
deposit requirement, they
realised the possibilities.
“When we found out
about Help to Buy, we
thought it would be a
fantastic opportunity that
we had to grab with both
hands,” says Natashia.
“We went down to the
show home and fell in
love with the house
straight away. We loved
the layout and it was the
perfect size for us.”
A DREAM COME TRUE“We thought it would be a fantastic
opportunity that we just had to grab with both hands”
An international sportsman
with a hectic schedule of
competing around the
world, James Bevis, has
somewhere to call home at
last thanks to Bovis Homes.
Rifle shooter James won
a bronze medal in the 2012
London Paralympics and
was bang on target again
when he and partner Sarah
Graham, a nurse, along
with her children, 18-year-
old Tom and 16-year-old
Alice, found their dream
three-bedroom, semi-
detached home at Nickleby
Place in Dawlish.
“I travel all over the
UK and abroad for my
sport, but we wanted
somewhere that we could
call home,” he explains.
“Sarah is originally from
Teignmouth and her family
is in the area, so we really
wanted to live close by.”
“The service from Bovis
Homes was brilliant; we
can’t fault them,” adds
Sarah. “The sales team kept
us informed at every stage
and they were easy to
contact if we ever needed
anything. It was a really
smooth process.”

THE BENEFITS OF BUYING NEWOFFERING GREATER AFFORDABILITY AND PROTECTION, NEW-BUILD HOMES
ARE AN INCREASINGLY POPULAR OPTION FOR BOTH ASPIRING AND EXISTING HOMEOWNERS. WE HEAR FROM THE EXPERTS AT THE NATIONAL HOUSE
BUILDING COUNCIL (NHBC), WHO OFFER SOME KEY REASONS WHY A BRAND NEW HOME COULD BE THE RIGHT MOVE FOR YOU
Buying a house is one of the biggest
investments you’re likely to make in
your life. So, whether you’re a first-
time buyer or are looking to move up the
property ladder, there’s no doubt that you
will face a number of choices and decisions.
Before you start the hunt for the house
of your dreams, it’s a good idea to have
a long, hard think about exactly what
you want and need from a property. Is
it location? Running costs? Space? At
NHBC, the leading standard-setting body
and warranty provider of new homes, we
recently carried out a survey with over
1,000 new homeowners. They told us that
design was the thing they loved most about
their new-build home, followed by location,
size and space.
So, with more new homes being built than
before the end of the recession, now is as
good a time as any to consider buying a
new-build home. Here are just a few reasons
why you should:
A BLANK CANVASNew-build homes have neutral interiors, free
from any decorating disasters of previous
owners. They also come with a similar fresh
start in the garden, allowing buyers to
design and plant to their preferred taste.
SHORTER PROPERTY CHAINLong chains can be extremely stressful; with
a new home this is minimised because there
is no threat of the seller accepting offers
elsewhere or the vendor changing their
mind about moving. You will be at the end
of the selling chain and can concentrate your
efforts on packing up and moving out.
LOWER RUNNING COSTSNew homes are built with higher levels of
insulation and have more efficient heating
systems than ever before; some may even
come with renewable technologies that
improve efficiency even more. Better energy
efficiency should mean a reduction in carbon
emissions and lower heating bills.
10-YEAR WARRANTYAround 80% of new homes are covered by
NHBC’s leading 10-year Buildmark warranty
and insurance, which currently protects
1.6million homes across the UK. Check that
the builder is registered with NHBC before
you visit at www.nhbc.co.uk and ask for
a copy of the policy document when you
reserve your home.
ADDED CONSUMER PROTECTIONWorking with the industry, NHBC has
developed the Consumer Code for
Home Builders. The Code protects new
homebuyers by ensuring that they are
treated fairly, that they are fully informed
about their purchase and their consumer
rights before and after they move in, and
that they are provided with a suitable
redress scheme to deal with complaints.
More information can be found at
www.consumercodeforhomebuilders.com
INCENTIVE SCHEMESAs well as the Government-backed
Help to Buy scheme, some housebuilders
operate their own buyer incentives such as
part exchange on an old house, payment
of stamp duty, help with removal costs and
part-funded deposits. Many developers
also offer properties off-plan, meaning
homeowners reserving before
the house is built can choose their desired
plot and personalise the house to their
individual needs.

of new-build homes visit our website at

Breakfast in bed might sound like a
distant dream for many parents, but
for celebrity chef Marcus Wareing,
it's a regular treat.
"My eldest son Jake got up on Saturday
morning recently, came to us and said,
'Would you like a bacon and egg sandwich?'"
Wareing explains. ‘Breakfast in bed - what
more could you want in life?’
His 11-year-old lad's ‘mean bacon sandwich’
is just one of the dishes Wareing's taught him
over the past year.
There was also a tasty risotto, which father
and son rustled up together, and countless
cakes that the family devours after dinner.
Jake's not the only junior Wareing to show
an interest in food. His brother Archie, eight,
and five-year-old sister Jessie have also
served up scones and tea for Wareing
and his wife Jane.
While chuffed with his children's
enthusiasm for cooking, Wareing's also well
aware that not all families are as passionate
about food.
But the chef, whose sophisticated dishes
over the years have earned Michelin stars,
is a firm believer in the benefits of cooking
with kids.
Not only does it encourage them to
be interested in what they're eating, it's a
wonderful passion the whole family can share,
and makes mealtimes more rewarding.
To inspire families to get their kids into the
kitchen, recipe website
www.greatbritishchefs.com is launching a new
app in association with Tesco Real Food, and
Marcus Wareing is one of many celebrity chefs who’ve teamed up to encourage children into the
kitchen. He tells Keeley Bolger why he’s so passionate about the project and the delicious delights
his own kids rustle up
COOKING CAN BE
CHILD’S PLAY
EXQ_2_Bovis_National_CookingWithKids_v2.indd 36 02/02/2015 11:38
bovishomes.co.uk 37
FOOD
l Providing your children aren’t hungry,
take them to the supermarket and
involve them in the planning of meals
and buying the food. If possible, take
them to food markets and show
them different ingredients when
you’re away from home
l Buy your child a simple cookbook,
apron or whisk for their birthday or
Christmas
l Put your child’s bakes in their
lunchbox as a surprise so they can
show their friends at school.
l If you have a camera, let your child
take a picture of what they’ve made
Why not start a scrapbook of all the
things they’ve created?
l Set up a chart in the kitchen and give
your child a star whenever they make
something with you. This will boost
their confidence and keep them keen
If you fancy having a go, here’s one
of Wareing’s recipes (see next
page) from the app to start you off...
WAREING’S TOP TIPS FOR GETTING KIDS INTO COOKING
it's packed full of easy-to-follow recipes.
Wareing is one of a number of top chefs
who have contributed after hearing about
the website's Cooking With Kids initiative.
He's keen to pass on his skills - but
remains realistic about the pressures parents
face at mealtimes.
"It's not easy when you're sitting and
eating and the kids don't want to try things.
But it only takes one child to start leading
[and the others will follow]," he says.
Time is another constraint that
Wareing, who previously worked with
Gordon Ramsay, is all too familiar with.
Nevertheless, he thinks now is a perfect time
to start cooking with your children.
"I know everyone's busy, but even if
you're just cooking one or two meals a
week together, it's so worthwhile in the long
term," he says. "It's showing your children
that you're making an effort.
"It's too easy to stick something from the
freezer into the oven, gorge it down in front
of the TV and have no conversation."
The TV is off in the Wareing household,
but there's no danger of mealtimes being
boring - the family keeps a score sheet
marking each family member's recent bakes
out of 10, and Jake is currently ahead ‘by a
country mile’.
This all sounds delightful - but what
happens after the food's been scoffed and
the mounds of used pots and pans are
calling?
"The best place to start a kid in a kitchen?
Washing pots," says Wareing, laughing. "Get
them washing pots, putting things away,
getting things out for you."
Clean pans are a bonus, but the real
reward for Wareing is seeing his children
enjoying food and learning how to make it
for themselves.
"We're not master chefs at the weekend
with our children," he says. "But we make a
point of sitting around the kitchen table as a
family, eating and talking and I think that is
important. That's what food does - it brings
the family together."
“It’s too easy to stick something from the freezer
into the oven, gorge it down in front of the TV
and have no conversation”

FOOD
INGREDIENTS (serves 10)
Bacon filling:
8 bacon rashers
1 medium onion, finely chopped
100g soft cheese
100g cheddar, grated
1/2 bunch flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
Pastry:
250g plain flour
3tsp baking powder
75g unsalted butter, diced and cold
225ml milk
1/2 tsp salt
20g butter, melted
BACONROLY POLIES
1. Heat your oven to 180°C/gas mark 4
and line a baking tray with parchment
paper
2. Place the flour, baking powder and
salt into a large bowl. Ask your little
helper to crumb the butter into the
dry mixture, then add the milk until
combined
3. Place the dough onto a floured
surface, then your little helper can roll
it out into a rectangle, approximately
1cm thick
4. Brush the dough with some of the
melted butter
5. Top with the bacon, covering all of
the pastry aside from a 2cm edge on
one of the long sides of the rectangle
6. Mix together the parsley, onion,
cheeses and garlic, then spread this on
top of the bacon
7. Brush the 2cm gap at the edge of
the dough with water
8. Now for the fun part: starting with
the side without the 2cm gap, start
rolling the dough until one big roll is
formed. Seal by pressing the water-
brushed gap onto the body of the roll
9. Wrap in cling film and place in the
fridge for 20 minutes
10. Remove and slice into 1.5cm-thick
slices
11. Place spiral side up onto the baking
tray and bake for around 15 minutes or
until golden-brown. Serve warm

T he kitchen is the heart of every
home – a space for cooking,
socialising or even quiet
contemplation. So, you need it to be a
room that’s practical, while reflecting your
personal tastes and lifestyle. That’s why,
at Bovis Homes, kitchens are designed to
make the most of the space, leaving you
with some fun choices to personalise the
room – and it’s all included in the price.
LOTS OF STYLES TO CHOOSE FROMBovis Homes have teamed up with Moores
and Symphony, two top kitchen design
companies, to offer you a comprehensive
choice of classic and contemporary styles.
What finish would you like on your kitchen
cabinets? Warm woods such as modern
oak or walnut? A cream finish in classic
shaker style? A modern metallic look in
three different colours? Or sleek gloss with
integrated handles to create a cool urban
design? And you can pair your cabinets
with the perfect worktop – with a wide
range of finishes.
THERE’S HELP AT HAND IF YOU NEED ITMoores and Symphony kitchen designers
have created recommended combinations
of cabinets and worktops that work
well together. They’ll even give you an
alternative worktop colour to choose
from if their first choice doesn’t suit your
personal taste – so you won’t find it
difficult to create your ideal kitchen. But
your kitchen needs to be ideal for you and
your life, so you can go totally freestyle
if you want and match your choice of
cabinet with any available worktop colour
to achieve the perfect look.
HIGH QUALITY FITTINGS COME AS STANDARDIn your new Bovis Home, the kitchen is
built to last, with quality cabinets, sturdy
hinges and attractive, easy-to-clean
handles. All units also feature smooth soft-
close doors and drawers that help reduce
noise levels and prolong the life of your

Premium ranges. Talk to one of their

Spotlight on...
Hundreds of Devonian house buyers
have been discovering the benefi ts of
choosing a brand new property at Bovis
Homes’ locations across the county.
Following a few years away from the
south west peninsula, Bovis are relishing
being back and building in Devon, with
ten active developments currently taking
reservations, including Avocet Meadow
at Cranbrook, Nickleby Place at Dawlish,
Elberry Gardens at Paignton and Tors
Reach at Chudleigh.
“We’re back and bringing much-needed
new housing stock to the county’s market,”
says South West Sales Director, Wayne
Bennett. “It’s great news for Devon house
buyers, who can benefi t from the major
advantages there are to choosing new over
old. It should make sense for your budget,
your lifestyle – and even the environment.
“You can move into a bright new home,
untouched by previous owners, where you
can really make your mark! You’ll avoid
those DIY and repair jobs you inevitably
need in an older property, and if you
choose a Bovis Home, our all-inclusive
specifi cation means you’ll get even
more time and money to spend on the
family. That’s because a new kitchen with
integrated appliances is already in place
and many of our homes feature en-suite
bathrooms and built-in wardrobes.”
Featuring the latest materials and
technologies, new homes are also greener
and, with their overall improved heat
insulation, could save you hundreds on
energy bills. Housebuilders like Bovis are
working with the Government and lenders
on affordability, so there are now a number
of purchase assistance schemes available
that could prove life-changing.
The most publicised of these, Help to
Buy Equity, is a unique shared equity
scheme for fi rst-time buyers and current
homeowners, where the customer pays a
5% deposit and the Government supplies
a 20% equity loan – leaving just a 75%
mortgage required.
“It’s a great time for Devon buyers who
may have thought that a new home was
out of reach to take another look and
see just what is out there,” says Wayne.
“You should fi nd something that fi ts your
circumstances. For instance, if you’re
struggling to sell a property, we could
buy it with our Home Exchange package,
allowing you to move into your brand
new Bovis Home and avoid the stress and
expense associated with chains and estate
agent fees.”

exquisitenewhomes.co.uk50
From the city to the shore (via the
countryside), there are some great
locations that allow you to commute to the
capital one day and set off for the sunny
south coast the next. In these areas, you’ll
find all-inclusive homes that boast superb
features like integrated kitchen appliances
and built-in wardrobes.
That’s what Bovis Homes are offering
at their stunning developments across its
Southern region, with the opportunities also
now available for buyers to get ahead of
the game and reserve off-plan.
From one-bedroom apartments to six-
bedroom detached family homes, Bovis
have something for every type of buyer
– and purchase assistance schemes that
could make that dream move a reality.
“We build new homes in great locations
across England and Wales, but these
developments are real jewels in the Bovis
Homes crown,” says Regional Marketing
Manager, Candice McCabe. “As well as
the great access to London or famous
south coast destinations, we’re spoiled by
the surrounding rolling countryside and
historic towns and cities.
“What’s more, with a Bovis Home, you
get so much included in the price, which
often really delights and surprises our
customers. That can include a cooker, hob,
fridge freezer, dishwasher and washer-
dryer integrated into your brand new
kitchen and en-suite bathrooms.”
Bovis are currently building new homes
across the counties, including attractive
locations at Felpham, Clanfield, Romsey,
Winchester and North Baddesley among
others.
“We have sales teams around the area
ready to talk to home seekers now about
how we could get them moving into a new
Bovis Home,” continues Candice. “They’ll
not only be able to talk them through our
specification and after-care service, but
also explain some of the purchase assistance
schemes that are currently available.”
These include the well-publicised Help to
Buy scheme for first-time buyers and
existing homeowners, which is only available
on newly-built homes, or Bovis Homes’ own
part-exchange scheme, Home Exchange.

TURN YOUR GARDEN INTO
Many of us moving into a new home are faced with the challenge of creating an outdoor area that is either
practical for a young family with somewhere safe for children to play, or is a stylish area for entertaining with a place to grow herbs and vegetables. A garden can also be somewhere to relax and be quiet, a much needed refuge from our busy work schedules. Whatever the requirement - enjoying the sunshine, listening to the birds and bees or enjoying a glass of wine with friends, making your garden a sacred

space is today more important than ever. This is exactly what the designers at
Organicstone have tried to create with their Stoneislands fl oor sculptures. The challenge was to design hardscape materials that were creative, individual stand-alone features that work as part of an overall design. Vicky Jones of Organicstone says: “Our Stoneislands range features sensual, curved forms available in a variety of simply explained sizes: Mini, Midi and Maxi, making it easy to work out what you can achieve on your new plot.”

LANDSCAPING
The Stoneislands collection of Midi fl oor sculptures are made up of nine organic and nature inspired shapes: Leaf, Paisley, Bean, Squash, Egg, Raindrop, Peanut, Delta and Heart. They all vary in colour and texture, allowing you to create an individual design on your own or work with a designer/ contractor to make your garden something that will really stand out from your neighbours.
The Maxi size is perfect for a dining area, with the Midi size making a statement feature. Some designs like the Delta, Bean and Egg have a hole in the fl oor sculpture, so that you can plant your favourite fl ower or herb.
The Mini size gives you a stepping stone that can make exciting pathways to draw you through your garden space, but with attention to design and individuality.
One of the unique features of Organicstone’s design process is their 1:10 scale miniatures, making it easy to see how they would work on a larger scale. Originally aimed at garden designers to show clients colour and texture, the small kits are available to purchase when you are planning your design, giving a fun and tactile tool to create your perfect garden in miniature - they also make great coasters.
Organicstone have worked with the award-winning Hillier Nurseries and
Garden Centres for eight consecutive years on their RHS Chelsea Flower Show entries, using the Stoneislands fl oor scupltures in the exhibits. The Bean Maxi has been showcased in three Gold medal-winning gardens.
With over 68 Gold medals at this prestigious show, Hillier Nurseries is the most successful exhibitor in the show’s 100-year history.
The core belief behind Organicstone’s handmade fl ooring is to create products to evoke a sacred space, where you can escape the stresses of modern life and enjoy both personal and family time, whatever size garden you have.
There’s also the added benefi t that Organicstone source sustainable materials close to home and keep traditional hand-crafted methods alive, which means you can feel good about the origins of the product.
As you embark on your new life in your beautiful new home, your outdoor space needs to look good from the start, while allowing you to have room to develop and continue to improve the space over the years. It must also take into account our changing seasons, when our summers can start late but last well into autumn, all of which makes Stoneislands ideal.

MOVING GUIDE
PACKINGOrganisation is key to any successful pack. First,
make a list of all your possessions so that you
can keep everything in check. Next, get your
boxes way in advance from local shops and
supermarkets and keep any used newspapers
for wrapping valuables for extra protection.
Labelling each box clearly will help things
run smoothly on the big day, while packing
unessential items early and gradually will
alleviate any last-minute panic or stress.
DE-CLUTTERMoving house is the perfect excuse to have a
good clear-out. Sort through your possessions
and decide what needs to go and what needs
to stay – charity shops, friends and family and
online selling are all great ways of getting rid of
unwanted knickknacks. You’ll need to be fairly
ruthless and strict; remember, a new house is a
clean start and the last thing you want is to take
all your clutter with you.
INSURANCEThis should defi nitely be high on your list. It’s
worth getting your packing done professionally,
as there’s a chance insurance won’t cover
anything you’ve packed yourself if something
breaks – it’s cheaper than you might think and
will save a lot of time, money and frustration.
If you move with a fi rm, check they have
insurance so that you’re absolutely covered and
get cancellation protection in case the date is
changed at the last minute.
PLAN AHEADYou can never start planning your move too early.
If you’re using a moving company, get in touch
up to one month in advance; they should tell you
what they offer and what to start thinking about.
Likewise, let the necessary parties know when
you’re off – banks, insurance companies, loan
providers, employers, doctors and schools will all
need to know about your change of address, as
well as phone, utility and internet providers.
TRANSPORT AND TIMINGFor DIY moves, make sure your van’s the right
size – one that’s too small could lead to multiple
trips and one that’s too big can often result
in tricky parking. Be aware that some moving
days are busier than others, such as Fridays and
Bank Holidays, while it’s generally cheaper to
hire vans on weekdays if possible, although you
can sometimes take advantage of a two-day
hire deal over a weekend.
SHOP AROUNDIf you’re getting the professionals in on moving
day, make sure you’ve done your research
and found out as much as possible about
your chosen company, such as references and
background. Get at least three written quotes
from established removal fi rms, ideally using
personal recommendations. Ensure they are
members of either the British Association
of Removers (BAR) or the National Guild of
Removers and Storers (NGRS), both of which
can also recommend fi rms.
COMMUNICATE CLEARLYLet the moving company know how much
you’re taking, so it can choose the right sized
truck, plan the number of journeys needed
and estimate how long it will take. They’ll need
to know the exact time you want the team
to arrive, with clear directions to your new
property. Arrange a parking space for the
removal van and tell the fi rm well in advance
about furniture that won’t go through the door.
ON THE DAY Get someone to look after your children
and pets, round up all the keys to your old
home from neighbours, friends and relatives.
Make sure the removal fi rm has the colour-
coded layout of your new property and
arrange for vans to be able to park outside
if necessary. Also, introduce yourself to
neighbours, who should be able to give
you advice about the area.
Moving house is an exciting time, although it can often be a stressful experience. With so much to organise, it might get a bit overwhelming, but with a little planning, you’ll be well on your way to staying on top of things. Here are some helpful hints to ensure the big day goes off without a hitch

The time is right for families to jump on
or step up the property ladder in Greater
Manchester, with some fantastic assistance
schemes out there to help get them moving
into a newly-built home. And the well-
publicised Help to Buy Equity loan scheme
is paving the way for people to move into
The Avenues at Newton Heath and Smithills
Glade in Bolton, two superb developments
in the area from Bovis Homes.
Recent figures released by the
Government showed that Mancunians
were among the keenest buyers in
the country to take up Help to Buy,
where a 20% Government equity loan
means the buyer only needs a 5% deposit
and 75% mortgage. But there are other
assistance packages available at Bovis
that could be just right for growing families,
including a Home Exchange scheme and
another Government-backed low deposit
scheme, Help to Buy Guarantee.
“Help to Buy Equity has quite rightly
received a lot of attention because of the
opportunity it provides to buyers who
may have previously been frozen out of
the Greater Manchester market due to
lenders requiring higher deposits,” says
Bovis Homes Northern Regional Marketing
Manager, Carina Wilde.
“But it’s not the only show in town; we’ve
seen that some families prefer to use Help
to Buy Guarantee, which also requires a 5%
deposit, but doesn’t include an equity loan,
and many who already own and are looking
to upsize use our Home Exchange scheme.
This can save on time and money, which
could be better spent on the family, as we
could buy their old property to get them
moving into a brand new Bovis Home.”
For families looking for more space,
three-bedroom homes at The Avenues
currently start at £161,995. As with all Bovis
properties, it includes a new kitchen with
integrated appliances and many
other features in the price – with Help to
Buy Equity it could be snapped up, using
an initial Government equity loan of
£32,400, meaning the buyer needs a
deposit of £8,100.
The homes in this area are also ideally
placed for your work/life balance, with
great locations allowing you to commute
to Manchester during the week and set off
for superb rural days out on the doorstep
at the weekend.
“It’s our goal to build quality new homes
in great locations and that’s just what we’re
offering at The Avenues and Smithills Glade
at the moment,” adds Northern Sales and
Marketing Director, Lynton Dudgeon. “As
well as the great access to Manchester,
we’re spoiled by the nearby countryside
and historic towns and cities.”

Bovis Homes’ Southern region teamed up with consortium partners to give a major boost to two Hampshire hospices.
Together with Taylor Wimpey and Bellway (the housebuilder’s partners at the Abbotswood development in Romsey), Bovis have donated £10,000 to Naomi House and Jacksplace hospices. The former cares for children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions up to the age of 16, while the latter is the hospice’s purpose-built unit for those aged 16 to 25.
“It’s just fantastic to have received a £10,000 cheque, which is such a substantial donation and will make a huge difference to us,” says Michelle Wheeler, Major Gifts and Marketing Manager for Naomi House.www.naomihouse.org.uk

View to a changeEmployees at Bovis Homes have raised enough money to make a life-changing difference to five families living in poverty across the world. In handing over £6,650 to international development
charity, Habitat for Humanity, the business has donated enough for five new homes to be built in areas of the world hit by poor living standards and homelessness.
The cash was raised by all staff members who completed an in-house
employee survey; for every entry sent in, Bovis agreed to donate a sum of money, reaching a final grand total that was hailed by the charity as ‘a fantastic sum’ that ‘will make a huge difference’.www.habitatforhumanity.org.uk

Not content with tackling tough terra firma tasks, Bovis employees Helen Bullen and Theresa McPhilimey took their fundraising challenges more than 10,000 feet into the air by skydiving for charity.
Eastern Assistant Civil Engineer Helen leapt out over Kent, while South West Sales Advisor Theresa took a trip to Devon with a difference for her sponsorship efforts. With the support of colleagues, they raised almost £1,500 between them for the Devon Air Ambulance Trust and Heart of Kent Hospice charities.
“What a fantastic experience it was!” says Helen. “I would urge everyone to give it a go – it’s the most scary, insane and wonderful feeling!”www.daat.org | www.hokh.org

Staff from the Western region of Bovis Homes celebrated their continued sponsorship of Bishop’s Cleeve Football Club with a trip to the ground near Cheltenham in Gloucestershire to meet the chairman and try out the facilities.
Nicknamed The Mitres, The Calor Southern League club is on the doorstep of the housebuilder’s regional offices and Homelands development.
The business has looked to support them for the last couple of seasons, with donations going towards buying a much-needed new training kit.www.bishopscleevefc.com
The successful completion of a 10-year project to replace 330 post-war prefab properties in Bristol with over 1,000 Bovis homes has been hailed by the city’s mayor as ‘a brilliant scheme’.
The award-winning project saw the housebuilder working with the council to construct new homes to replace the prefabs, originally built with a 10-year life expectancy, across 15 sites throughout the city and provide a further 1,050 new homes, including 152 affordable rentals for local residents.

Decade of delivery The Northern region of Bovis Homes
was there to lend a hand when Woolley Grange Park held a special community fete recently.
With a real local spirit having developed at the site, the regional team was only too happy to help out when the residents’ association needed some assistance with organisation and the provision of facilities.
Attractions included a Woolley Grange Bake Off, photograph competition, craft stalls, bouncy castles, circus shows, face painting, raffles and much more.
Grand day out
Ecological and archaeological investigations have taken place at Stanton Cross in Wellingborough to prepare for the first construction phase of the 3,200-home site.
The work will ensure the Northamptonshire development won’t interfere with any protected species or disturb unrecorded archaeological sites.
Works included looking for evidence of suitable habitats for badgers, reptiles, otters, water voles and bats, as well as thorough investigations of ponds within 500m of the proposed infrastructure area, to assess the suitability for great crested newts.

Volkswagen lifted the lid on
the E-Bugster concept car at
the Beijing Motor Show in April
2014. The E-Bugster had made its debut
as a coupé at the Detroit Auto Show in
January, but the electric concept’s hard-
top was later removed, giving the best
hint yet of the look of the future Beetle
Cabriolet, and also showing the potential
for Volkswagen’s future all-electric
drivetrains.
An electric motor provides the
E-Bugster with 85 kWh (115 PS) of
power, which can propel it from 0 to
60mph in 10.9 seconds, and yet offers
a range of at least 110 miles from the
28.3 kWh lithium-ion batteries. If the
E-Bugster needs a top-up, a fast-
charging function allows complete
recharging in just 35 minutes from a
specialist DC source, or slower charging
from an AC source such as a 230-volt
domestic outlet.
The E-Bugster also charges itself
as soon as the driver’s foot leaves the
accelerator pedal, when kinetic energy
is transformed into electricity and stored
in the battery. Applying the brakes
increases the intensity of regeneration,
a function that is indicated to the
driver in the instrument panel. Other
instruments include driving range and
battery state indicators and a meter that
shows how much energy the driver is
requesting via the accelerator pedal.
The E-Bugster’s speedster look
is created partly by a 90mm lower
windscreen, and also by the distinctive
shape of the panel that covers the
lithium-ion batteries behind the seats.
Both front and rear bumpers have been
substantially modified from those of
the production Beetle. At the front, LED
daytime running lights at the outer edges
of the central air intake form a C-shape on
the left that is mirrored on the right –
a signature of Volkswagen’s electric
vehicle concepts. At the back, reflectors
take the place of LEDs.
At 4,278mm long and 1,838mm
wide, the E-Bugster is the same length
as a standard Beetle, but 30mm wider.
Beneath the flared wheel arches sit
20-inch alloy wheels with 235/35 tyres.
With its latest Beetle model, the German manufacturer has introduced an environmentally conscientious machine that delivers e-lectrifying performance. We investigate some of the key features on offer and find out why the E-Bugster continues a sporty theme

A garden is a space to relax,
entertain and be creative, but
it’s also great for attracting
wildlife. Whether you consider
yourself to be ‘green-fi ngered’

petunias, we’ve put together
a guide on how to create an
outside space fi t for nature
exquisitenewhomes.co.uk36
A HOME IN YOUR GARDEN
A t Bovis Homes, ecology plays
an important role in their
developments. Green open spaces,
landscaped areas and extensive planting
of shrubs and trees encourage wildlife and
provide attractive, relaxing environments.
Helping Our Prickly Friends
For instance at the housebuilder’s
Church Meadows development in
Bromsgrove, they’ve put the focus on one
of Britain’s most popular wild animals.
By introducing wildlife corridors, they’ve
enhanced the natural ecology of the area,
allowing hedgehogs to roam around from
garden to garden without being forced onto
roads. They’ve even incorporated hedgehog
homes into the gardens to provide them
with a safe, cosy habitat.
You can do your bit for everyone’s
favourite prickly mammal too.
The numbers of hedgehogs in
the UK have been in decline
in recent times, which means
it’s more important than ever
to ensure they have a suitable
habitat and can wander around safely
when searching for food.
While they often make their homes in
compost heaps, piles of logs, leaves and
other garden debris, you could create or buy
your own hedgehog home for your garden.
It couldn’t be simpler – all you need is a
wooden crate, which you should turn upside
down and then make an entrance so that
they can get in and out. It’s also a good idea
to cover the crate in debris and position it
away from wind and sunlight. In fact, the BBC
has created a step-by-step guide showing
you how to make a hedgehog home from
scratch which can be found on their website.
And remember – hedgehogs can help with
pest control because they eat insects and
slugs, so by providing a safe haven for them,
you’re helping to protect your garden.
To fi nd out more about how you can help
nature on its way, the Royal Society for the
Protection of Birds (RSPB) has created a
free ‘Give Nature a Home’ starter guide, or
you can buy one of their exclusive hedgehog
homes which would jazz up any garden, all
for a good cause.

GARDENS
The two foods sought by bees are
nectar (providing sugar and a source of
energy) and pollen (providing various
nutrients and protein); it’s essential
to choose plants that offer these in
abundance. Below is a list of some of
those most loved by bees – remember,
they prefer a variety of native fl owers:
FLOWERS FIT FOR A BEE
The Year for Bees
Another declining species causing much
concern of late is the bee. According to
Garden Media Group’s Garden Trends
Report, 2015 will be the year of the bee,
which means that now is the time to plant
pollen-rich fl owers!
There are many contributing factors that
have been linked to the plight of bees and
other pollinators; these include agricultural
changes, the widespread use of pesticides,
various diseases, parasites and climate
change. However, the good news is that
there are certain nectar and pollen-rich
plants that will enable you to turn your
garden into a banquet for bees.
Bees are responsible for pollinating 75%
of the world’s crops and without them food
would have to be pollinated by other means
– costing billions and potentially resulting
in a food crisis. They’re at their most active
during the summer, however you should
ensure that you have plants fl owering
at different times of the year, which can
provide sustenance to various species of bee.
As a general rule, bees love fl owers that
are rich in colours like purple, blue, white
and yellow, which is fantastic news for your
garden, and you should also plant
fl owers in clusters, such as large
fl owerbeds, as this will be more
attractive to bees. Pesticides
should be avoided and keep
in mind that certain shapes
of fl owers can be extremely
diffi cult for bees to feed from. To fi nd out which fl owers you
should plant in your own garden,
use a handy tool from the
Bumblebee Conservation Trust,
which is available at www.beekind.
bumblebeeconservation.org/fi nder
The British Beekeepers Association
(BBKA) has also put together a list of
pollen and nectar-rich plants based on
season and type at www.bbka.org.uk
Just like hedgehogs and other wildlife,
you can also create a home for bees
using a few materials, and the charity
Friends of the Earth has created a
useful guide on how to create a bee
hotel at www.foe.co.uk
