ane, who is 53, is a regular reader ofthe Huddersfield Magazine, and waskeen to let us know what she liked

best and new features she would like tosee. “I never expected to win the com-petition, but the makeover is one of myabsolute favourites so I was thrilled toget it,” she says.

Though she keeps very active, Jane hasthe condition fibromyalgia, which givesher constant muscle pain. “I had a badcar accident over twenty years ago,” sheexplains. “The fibromyalgia started afterthat. It varies and some days are betterthan others, so I just have to pacemyself.”

We are therefore impressed at how wellshe holds up - it’s no picnic trying oncountless outfits and then spending sev-eral tiring hours posing for the photogra-pher!

This issue we are delighted to bringyou our Readers’ Survey Competitionwinner, Jane Woodage.

Jane’s hair is quiteshort to begin with, butAdam and Tracy atAdam Summers haveplans. They both feel thatblonde is washing her out a bit, andthat she would be better with theoverall colour darker - a rich versionof her natural colour - with somebright blonde highlights.

They consult together, as they wantto use the colour to enhance thecut, then Tracy makes a start. Sheuses foils to put some bold, broadhighlights in, but places themcarefully through the hair ratherthan on top. A rich soft brownwith a hint of auburn provides thebase that the blonde will gleamthrough, modernising the colour. Italso means that maintenance willbe easier, as the highlights willneed touching up less often!

Adam wants to soften the cut,while keeping the overall shape.He feels that the hair at the crownis quite long and cutting it shorterwill give it lift. He does still leavesome length on top to keep thebalance, but graduates it moreas there had been quite an abrupttransition from the shorter front tothe longer top.

Jane’s fringe is quite square, andAdam and Tracy want to style itmore to the side. Tracy has cleverlyused the colour so that it showsboldly when the fringe is to the left,and more subtly when it’s to theright. Adam is a bit frustrated bythe squareness, as he wants tocurve the hair around Jane’s jaw-line. He tells her she must comeback when it’s grown a bit more! >

Styling products give height and volumeto the hair, but the style will be easy tomaintain at home.

Next we are heading to Greta at LenitivePlus. She uses Youngblood mineral cos-metics, which treat the skin while lookinggorgeous. She uses a brush to apply aliquid foundation carefully matched toJane’s own skin tone, then adds a dust-ing of powder to set it. A slightly peachypink blusher suits Jane’s warm colouringand brightens her face.

Pink eyeshadow all the way up to thebrow is a surprising choice, but looksfantastic. Shimmering brown applied tothe outer corner and in the crease, thenblended, draws attention to Jane’s darkeyes. A bit of eyeliner on the top inner lidand just the outer corner of the bottomlid open up the eye, and mascara pro-vides the necessary finishing touch.

The lipsticks will vary from corals to red-der shades, depending on the outfits.

Now we’re done with hair and makeup,and Jane is looking great, so we need agreat-looking venue to do our photo-shoot. And where better than the gor-geous Edgerton offices of RamsdensSolicitors. The old Victorian mill owner’shouse has been converted into offices,but retains loads of original features thatform the perfect backdrop for us.

Jane (like most of us) has a habit ofwearing black because it’s easy. But sheactually looks best in bright colours, sothat’s what we are looking for. She has aclassic hourglass figure, so we also wantstyles that will show off her tiny waist.

Our first outfit is a gorgeous rich brownlinen suit with orange bead detail fromPrécis in Peters. The top from Planetsets the detail off to perfection, and cuteretro orange tap shoes from Office com-plete the orange theme. The stunningbag from Cellini and some wooden jew-ellery are in keeping with the brown, nat-ural feel.

Orange is a truly stunning colour onJane, and we find the perfect dress atPixie. You might think we would struggleto find shoes to match, but orange isvery ‘in’ this season and the pair fromOffice look like they were made from thesash! The bright bag from Faith andsparkly jewellery from Noemi and Walliscomplete the party look.

A fitted bodice and full skirt will alwayslook great on Jane, and the pretty dressfrom Monsoon is in just the right colours.Stylish satin shoes from Kitten Heels setoff the fabric of the frock, and the jew-ellery from Noemi picks up on theblues. >


Above:Dress - Pixie BoutiqueShoes - Vivienne Westwood at Pixie BoutiqueNecklace, bangles - Monsoon


We fell in love with the flowery trenchcoat from Kitten Heels as soon as wesaw it, and decided to team it with jeansfrom Next. The top, from the sameBellissima range at Kitten Heels, is a per-fect match to the coat and so are theshoes. Cute Swatch jewellery and watchfrom Stonez and the ring and earringsfrom Noemi keep the look fresh andsummery.

Jane doesn’t tend to wear jeans, but wethink she should give them a try. So weteam the pair from Next with a redchecked blouse and stripy wedges for acasual, laid back look. The red Swatchjewellery and watch from Stonez carrythat feel through, and earrings fromNoemi match perfectly.

We team the perfect black skinny jeansfrom Pixie with a jersey top from Walliswith a wide scoop neck. The belt fromPixie shows off that tiny waist (we had achoice of three belts and the other twowere just too big - this one only fitbecause it ties!). High shoes from Faithand stylish Briel jewellery from Stonezgive this jeans outfit a more sophisti-cated feel.

Last but not least, we choose a teal bluedress in a soft draping jersey fabric fromPixie. The cut is again perfect toenhance Jane’s figure. The gold plasticVivienne Westwood shoes from Pixie area grown-up version of jellies, and mini-mal jewellery from Monsoon keeps theoverall look classic. >

It’s been a grand day, and Jane lovesher new looks. “You haven’t chosenanything I don’t like; I would be happyto wear all of it.”

She has taken on board the adviceabout colour: “I do tend to just go forblack and dark colours, but I can reallysee that the brighter colours do makeme look better. I look livelier with thesecolours.”

Jane adds: “I was a bit worried abouthaving this makeover and having myphotograph taken, but it’s been brilliant.I’ve really enjoyed it!”

fter all, we’re surrounded by some ofthe most beautiful scenery in thecountry - so we can always do with

more time to enjoy it.

And there are plenty of interesting places tovisit as well, from museums and statelyhomes to fun places for the kids.

With loads of restaurants and bars to enjoy,all that’s really missing is somewhere tolounge around when you’re not busy beinga tourist.

The solution? Take some of that moneyyou’ve saved on a holiday and treat your-self to a fabulous new outdoor space.

Does your garden or patio need sprucingup? Have you always wanted to have teaon the lawn Edwardian-style, looking like

Helena Bonham-Carter in A RoomWith A View?

We can’t guarantee a look for you,but we can help with your garden!

We’ve been looking at what’s availablevia the shops in Huddersfield town cen-

tre, and whatever your taste or budget youwill be spoilt for choice.

Modern or traditional, metal, wood orwicker, minimal or luxurious - the choice isyours.

We love delicate metal in elegant shapes,softened with chintzy cushions or stylishswathes of linen.

But then again, we want to lounge likeKatherine Hepburn on classic teak steamerchairs, wearing a headscarf and outsizesunglasses!

Or sink into luxuriantly cushioned wicker(with a footstool ofcourse). Hmmmm... decisions,decisions ...

Now we all know that it’s not just down towhether your taste is for traditional woodand wicker or trendy plastic in neoncolours. It comes down to cost too (justlike those old-style holidays, from Butlins toBenidorm to Bali!)

But you can find every style at a price to fitevery pocket - and even if you can’t afforda whole new set of furniture it’s amazingwhat new accessories can do to freshenup some tired furniture.

Pretty retro cushions, pastel tealights,antique lanterns and some of the prettiestgarden lights we’ve seen in a long timecombine to create the perfect setting for alate high tea that stretches into theevening.

Or get it all in the latest bright, brightcolours for a modern edgy look, and com-bine with a barbeque to entertain all yourfriends.

Umbrellas and gazebos provide that vitalfinishing touch, as well as protection fromthe sun and (dare we say it) occasionalrain.

Whether you have the rolling lawns of aVictorian vicarage or the bijou balcony of amill-conversion flat, you can find everythingyou need for outdoor living right here in ourtown centre.

hey’re predicting plenty of hot,sunny weather for us all to enjoy(they are also talking about thunder-

storms, but we’re pretending we haven’theard that bit).

So it’s the perfect opportunity to plansome long lazy days out ... and ofcourse doing nothing’s pretty hungrywork, so you’ll have to make sure youtake a picnic!

Forget about soggy egg sandwiches anda flask of tea in the car in the lashing rainat the seaside, we’re planning to makean effort this time.

And the shops are doing everything theycan to make our task easier. Proper pic-nic hampers are all the rage this sum-mer, and you can find them in all kinds ofstyles. From retro wicker baskets tomodern vinyl cool bags, they are all inge-niously packed with everythingyou need for eating and drinking.

And we don’t mean paper plates andpolystyrene cups. There are so manypretty plastic plates, bowls and glassesof all kinds - from tumblers to cham-pagne flutes - that there’s no excuse fornot looking glamorous out there!

The next thing to think about is whatyou’re planning to eat and drink fromyour stylish picnicware. It obviouslyneeds to be finger or fork food, but thatdoesn’t have to limit you to sandwichesand crisps.

Quiches and frittatas are easy to prepareand eat, and salads always go down well- base them on rice, couscous or quinoafor a change, and go for a Mediterraneanfeel with lemon juice, fresh herbs, nutsand seeds. >

Time!Soup may not be the first thing you thinkof for a picnic, but a refreshing chilledgazpacho or sophisticated vichysoissepoured into small cups or glasses is trulytasty and easy to serve.

If you wake up one morning to find thatit’s a perfect summer’s day, don’t worryabout not having anything prepared.Grab some bread, cheese and coldmeats, cut fresh veggies into crudités,add some humous or ready-made dips,and you’re ready to go. Fresh fruit willround things off nicely.

Do make sure you play safe, and keepyour picnic cool - use a cool bag orcool box with ice blocks or even abag of ice cubes, which can thenbe added to drinks. If you haveplanned ahead you can freeze bot-tles of water or juice, use them tokeep the food chilled and drink themwhen they have thawed!

Last but not least, make sure you havesome games with you for when swingingfrom trees/paddling in thestream/running up and downhills (delete as appropriate)begins to lose its charm.

n these difficult times, it’s important to remem-ber the independent shops that makeHuddersfield unique, and keep people coming

to our town.

So we thought we would just remind you that up onthe second floor of the Byram Arcade you will findan amazing gem, a truly unusual shop.

Where else can you go and actually be served bythe designer himself?

Hardy grew up in Huddersfield, and says that hispassion for clothing and fashion started in sixthform. “It really came from not having a uniformanymore. Clothes were something to be takenseriously, and we all dressed to impress! That’swhen I started to experiment with making my ownclothes, things no one else would be wearing.”

However, Hardy didn’t initially see it as a career, andwent on to study Chemistry at Nottingham TrentUniversity when he left college. “But I decided quitequickly that it wasn’t for me, that it was definitelynot what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.”

After the first year Hardy took the plunge, movedback to Huddersfield and took an art foundationcourse. The next stage was a degree in fashion atthe University of Northumbria.

Hardy is sure that it was the right decision: “Fromthat moment on I haven’t looked back. I’m not say-ing it’s been easy, but it has always felt like it’sworth the effort.”

Hardy’s background includes a stint as a designer atLucy Barnes in New York and time as a personalshopper at Harvey Nichols, before he took the giantstep of opening his own boutique in November2007.

“Working in New York gave me a great under-standing of the fashiondesign business, and mytime at Harvey Nicks wasbrilliant for giving me aninsight into how peopleshop - and experience inselling,” says Hardy.

He adds: “It’s all experiencethat has helped give me theconfidence to set up on myown - although it’s still takena lot of courage!”

The shop isn’t just a shop, however, it’s also whereHardy designs and makes everything he sells.

Hardy talks about his own designs: “I design clothesthat are highly wearable but with a twist - it can’tbe the same as anything you can find anywhereelse. It could be through unusual fabric choices orthe way it’s cut, as I have a keen interest in creativepattern cutting.”

Menswear is the most recent addition to the range,and Hardy says: “I’m really excited about mymenswear. I’ve wanted to do it for ages, not onlybecause I feel there’s not enough choice out therefor blokes, but because I get to wear it myself!

“My menswear is a completely modern take onclassic smart/casual street wear. For example, I’lltake something like a classic sweatshirt and com-pletely reinvent it through clever cutting and use ofluxury fabrics.”

Hardy says it can be struggle balancing his timebetween business and creativity but he believes it’sall worth it. “Still now when I come in in the morn-ings I’m thinking ‘wow, this is my shop’ it’s socool.”

The Left Bank is one of the hidden gems ofHuddersfield, and provides shoppers with a quirkyand unique alternative to the high street. Hardy says:“I think it’s just what Huddersfield needs. Towncentres are full of chain stores, but I think themood is changing away from disposable fashionand towards investment pieces.”

Hardy has recently moved into a bigger shop in theArcade, and explains: “I want the shop to appeal toa broad range of customers, whether for clothingor accessories. The main purpose of the new big-ger shop space is to offer something to as many

customers as possible, but with-out compromising on the cre-

ativity and uniqueness of theproducts stocked.”

He has ambitious plans for thefuture: “I’m working on

branching out into citieslike Leeds and

Manchester ... but willalways keep the

Huddersfield store asthe home of one-off

pieces.”

Fake Bake at Heritage SpaOn arrival I was asked to fill in a health ques-tionnaire. I was then taken into the tanningroom, provided with paper panties (choiceof full or thong) and a shower cap. Stickymats protected the bottoms of my feet.

There is one colour available, which you canhave applied twice to go darker, so Idecided to brave it and go really tanned.

As advised, I had taken dark, loose clothingand flip flops to wear afterwards. The pro-cess took half an hour in total.

I was given detailed written instructions onmy way out about after-treatment, which Ifollowed closely to get the maximum bene-fits.

Some of the tan did come off on the sheetsthe first night, as I was advised not toshower until the morning, but I was expect-ing that.

The tan lasts for a week, and a top up tanonly costs £16. The initial full body tan costs£22 and there are often special offers avail-able.

I would go back as the tan has made mefeel so much more healthy. I have had lots ofpositive comments, all saying how well Ilook or asking if I have been on holiday.

A-Tan at urbanescapeI arrived prepared, as I had asked over thephone about what I needed to do and hadbeen given instructions.

At urbanescape there is a choice of threepercentages of the colour and I pickedmedium, after consultation with the staff.

The tanning facility uses the shower cubiclein one of the treatment rooms, which meansthat there is no build-up of the spray on thewalls and floor.

I was given a paper thong, and sticky padsto put on my feet so the tan wouldn't buildup as I moved around.

The therapist sprayed me as I turned underher instructions, then dried me off for fiveminutes. I then stood for a further five min-utes to finish drying before putting myclothes back on. The total time was about30 minutes.

Some tan came off on the sheets overnight,but I had expected that. I was surprised athow much came off in the shower the nextday, but was still as brown as I wanted tobe.

The tan costs £20, and I would definitely sayit was worth it. I have had lots of peoplecommenting on it, and they have all beensurprised when I said it was fake.

Alison

Sienna X at Studio 18I was probably the most reluctant to do this,as I have the palest skin so was quite worriedthat it would look really obvious. However, Iwas pleasantly surprised at the result, and allthe comments I had afterwards were positive.

No one realised until I told them that it wasfake tan.

I had been emailed instructions for pre- andafter-care, so was ready with a change ofclothing.

Lauren was very reassuring, and advised meto go for the palest of the three intensities onoffer.

She gave me paper bikini bottoms to wear,and sticky paper to protect the soles of myfeet, and took me to the tanning room to getchanged.

The actual spraying took about five minutes,then I was blow dried for another five beforegetting changed.

The whole process was very quick, and I wasfinished within half an hour.

A little of the tan came off in bed, because Iwas told not to shower or have a bath until themorning, but it was still very even.

Studio 18 charges £15 for a spray tan, which Ithought was very reasonable, and specialoffers are available on their website.

Julia

You have told us you would like to seesome features on beauty, so we thoughtwe would see what we could do.

There are three of us in the editorial office,and we decided to go and try out treatments onyour behalf. It’s a tough job, but someone’s got to do it!

First up, and keeping with a summer theme, we have been testing the spray tanson offer. All three of us are fake tan ‘virgins’ so we had no idea what to expect.

We were a bit worried about turning orange, but were reassured that the tanning industry has moved on and reallysubtle effects are what to expect - and we are all delighted to report back that the results were fantastic every time.

We ate at Shabab on NewStreet, one of Huddersfield’soriginal Indian restaurants. It is

a short walk from the bus and train stations,with plenty of parking available nearby.

Shabab is very deceptive - from the outsideit looks small and run down, but the inside isbeautifully decorated with perfect lightingand gentle music. You can tell that a lot ofcare and attention has been put into creat-ing a good atmosphere.

We were greeted as soon as we entered byour smartly dressed and very polite waiter,who took our drink order and presented uswith menus. We were blown away by theamount of choice on the menu. I am a fan ofvegetarian Indian food and there was agreat selection available.

We ate quite early but there were still a rea-sonable number of other diners. The restau-rant is large and the tables are well spreadout to give a degree of privacy.

For starters we chose a shared Shabab grill- onion pakoras, chicken, lamb and shishkebabs on a bed of deliciously fried onionswith side salad and sauces. The meat wasso tender and tasty. The dish was a perfectstarter and could not have been cooked anybetter.

For the main course I opted for a Vegetableand Lamb Jalfrazi. I could not believe thegenerous amount of meat, tender andcooked to perfection. The fresh herbs com-plemented it perfectly though I found thedish slightly too oily. In future I would defi-nitely ask for it to be cooked with less oil.

My partner chose a Chicken Tikka Balti.Again the amount of meat was very gener-ous. The chicken was perfectly marinatedand you could really taste fresh ginger.

We had a double garlic naan to accompanyour curries, which was fresh and tasty andmore than enough for two people.

A buffet menu was also available, and waspopular with our fellow diners. It offers avariety of main and side dishes at a reason-able price, including a good selection ofvegetarian options.

The service was friendly and fast althoughwe did not feel hurried in the slightest. Thewaiter made conversation with us and waskeen to know what we thought of the food.

The rest rooms were clean and accessible,but the restaurant would be difficult for dis-abled diners as it is up a flight of stairs.

Our meal without drinks was only £16.95. Ifyou eat before 7pm then one main meal isdiscounted from the bill.

We would return to Shababagain as the food was goodand the service was excel-lent. Shabab is definitelyworth a visit.

If you’re a bit older than 16 and feel that you could do with some help,here is the Direct Golf pro’s advice.

Improve your putting - get into a routineAll great players have a routine for every shot and when it comes to putting,they know that sticking to a routine is necessary for making consistentstrokes. This not only mentally prepares you to hole the putt but physicallygets you in the correct position to address the ball and take the stroke.

All golfers have different routines, but here are a few suggestions. Look at theputt from behind the ball, halfway down the putting line, behind the hole andfrom the side. This helps get a clearer picture of the contours and speed ofthe green. Make a few practice strokes, then strike the ball.

To help improve your success rate, make contact with the centre of the putterface, make contact with a square putter face that’s on-line to the target, andfinally accelerate the clubhead through impact. Experiment with what worksfor you then stick to it, and you’ll hole more putts.

Custom fitting your clubsDo you find yourself asking these questions: Why can’t I consistently hit theball straight? Why do my fingers overlap when I grip the club? Why is myhandicap not improving even though I’m playing regular golf and spend timepractising? Sometimes it’s not the golfer that is the problem! Clubs handeddown through the family, bought as presents or ‘the same as your mate’s’may not be the best suited to the player.

Manufacturers build clubs to their own standard - there is no generic standardthroughout golf. The performance characteristic between different makes andmodels varies tremendously so professional help is highly recommended.Remember that golfers should use clubs suited to their swing, not changetheir swing to accommodate ill-suited clubs!

Never think you are not good enough to get your clubs custom fitted.Whether you have been playing golf for twenty years, or have just started out,your game will improve through custom fitting.

Direct Golf in Huddersfield is one of the few places in the UK with both thePro Tee Golf Simulator and Tomi Putting System in store, and they are bothavailable by appointment.

The golf simulator has 200 sensors placed under the striking area just behindthe clubface, and a further 300 sensors to collect after-shot data. This meansthat it can analyse your swing speed and path, club face pathand angle at impact, strike position on club face and angleof attack, and the ball spin, side spin, axis spin, balldirection and distance. This is then projected ontothe hitting area for you to see, and allows us tooffer a complete comprehensive custom fit ser-vice, and a total break down of your golfgame.

The putting system records the key eight ele-ments of your putting:alignment at addressand at impact, path atimpact, stroke pathand rotation, putter loftat impact, impact pointon putter, impact speedand stroke tempo

In this, the first of a new series of features onsport, we are delighted to bring you some top golftips from our local pros, and all the golfing news.

e decided that summer is defi-nitely the time for flowers, and weasked Huddersfield Town Centre

Partnership member The Posy Bowl tohelp us out.

Beverley Couldwell at The Posy Bowl inMarket Walk tells us that many bridesthese days are opting to buy flowers andmake up their own bouquets.

“I thought I would demonstrate a nicesimple bridal bouquet that’s quick andeasy to make” she tells us. “You don’twant to try anything too complicated ifyou haven’t done a lot of flower arrang-ing!”

Beverley says: “The cost for this bouquetwill vary according to the time of year.The growers put prices up during wed-ding season, and white calla liliesbecome very expensive indeed! That’swhy I’ve chosen to use the yellow, as itwill help to keep the cost down.”

For this arrangement, you will need 6 to 8yellow calla lilies, matching wide yellowvoile ribbon, 3 bunches of steel grass,florist’s tape and decorative pins - theseare available with a range of heads tomatch decoration on the bride’s gown orheaddress

1. Bunch the liliesclosely together,arranging them to givea nice overall shape,with slight variation inthe height.

5. Tape a few at a timeonto the lily stems,working your wayround until all thestems are disguised.

6. Top tip: work thetape downwards so itdoesn’t bulk up in oneplace, and don’t take ittoo far down - youwant the grass to flareloosely at the bottom.

7. Cover up the‘mechanics’ with thevoile ribbon. Pin theend securely into theflowers, ensuring thatthe pin is at an angleand doesn’t stick outthe other side.

8. Wind the ribbon roundfar enough down tocover the tape, then useyour decorative pins tomake an attractive pat-tern and secure the endof the ribbon - again tak-ing care to press the pinsinto, rather than through,the stems.

2. Tape the stemstightly to keep theblooms in place. Thetape should be a cou-ple of inches downfrom the flower head,and wound round sev-eral times.

3. Cut the stems quiteshort - you needenough to be able tohandle the bouquet,but not so much that itwill break through thesteel grass.

4. Hold the steel grassupside down, so thetapered ends are fac-ing downwards andtrim the tops level.

You told us in our survey that youwould like to see more hobby or ‘how

to’ features in your HuddersfieldMagazine, so we thought we would

CitroenGrand C4 PicassoThis will give you a quiet andcomfortable ride, though it canbe a bit bumpy on rougherroads. The interior feels classywhile offering excellent safetyand good visibility. The rearseats are better suited to chil-dren than adults, but thatseems to be the case acrossthis class of vehicle. All five ofthe rear seats fold quickly andeasily to give a flat bed fortransport, and there is room fora couple of bags even when allthe seats are in use. It's also agreat looking car.

So whether you are looking for comfort orconvenience, and durability or stylish

good looks, there is something out thereto suit - and with these great cars, you

won’t have to sacrifice one for the other.

FordS-MaxA very quiet ride, and muchbigger than many comparablemodels. Some can be expen-sive to run, but the diesels areeconomical. Good control andplenty of safety and securityfeatures make this a safeoption, though the interior isthe most conventional of ourchoices. This is a solidly-builtcar with excellent visibility, andplenty of storage space - evenwhen all the seats are up.When they are folded flat, theboot is huge.

ToyotaVersoToyotas are famously reliable,but perhaps not what youwould choose for glamour. Thisone is no exception, and it canbe noisy both accelerating andat speed. However, this is off-set by a five-star crash testrating, and a seating systemthat's spacious and easy touse. The vehicle is competi-tively priced, with a decentrange of standard equipment,and an optional in-car enter-tainment system with a DVDplayer and headrest mountedscreens.

It’s Drive Time

> > > VauxhallZafiraThis one is really roomy for itssize, and comes with a good-sized boot. Again, though, youwould really only want to putchildren in the rear seats. It'sgreat to drive, with excellenthandling, not too much noiseand a clear dashboard layout.Safety is a really strong point inthe Zafira - it's another with afive-star crash test rating - andthe running costs are reason-able for the type.

> VolkswagenTouranThe last of our five, though notnecessarily the least, the Touranbenefits from Volkswagen'sstrong reputation. You wouldtend to describe this vehicle assensible, rather than startlinglystylish, but it does the job it'sthere for. It has plenty of roomfor seating or for transport, withfolding seats, and it probablyhandles best of the five. Thetough interior should stand upwell to being battered by thekids, too.

he government’s £2,000 ‘scrap-page’ trade-in and plenty of oppor-tunities to bargain hard, make this

the ideal time to have a look at some of thehuge range of vehicles now available fromthe many car dealerships in and aroundHuddersfield.

With a view to being family-friendly, we havebeen checking out MPVs - which stands forMulti-Purpose Vehicle by the way, and no,we didn't know that either.

We thought it must stand for something likemultiple people vehicle, because that’s whatmost people think of when they look atthem. The perfect car for a big family!

However, there’s more to them than justcramming in the kids for a trip to the sea-side, as they all have seats that either comeout or fold flat so they can be used as a vanas well.

We have hunted out what we thinkare the best five that are avail-able from dealers in ourtown. They all havestrengths and weak-nesses, so it’s upto you to choosethe one that bestsuits your priori-ties.

Whatever your interests, from sports and socialevents to music, dance and drama, discoveringthe pleasures of gardening or exploring thegreat outdoors on your doorstep, village life inShepley and Shelley is positively thriving.

Shepleyand Shelley

he impressive array of leisure activ-ities across all age groups owesmuch to the tireless efforts of

grassroots community organisationsstriving constantly, year in, year out tomaintain a strong community spirit in thetwo neighbouring areas.

Both settlements have existed for over1,000 years and are mentioned in theDomesday Book of 1086. Their namestranslated from the original Anglo-Saxonreveal Shepley was ‘a clearing wheresheep are kept’ while Shelley is ‘a clear-ing on the shelf’ or as we would saytoday, ‘terrace’.

Half a dozen miles or so from town,heading out beyond Kirkburton towardsSheffield, seems a world away from thehassles of finding somewhere to parkand those snake-like queues for thecheckout tills. Village traders go ‘theextra mile’ in the best possible way,offering helpful advice and giving cus-tomers the benefit of their professionalexpertise or specialist knowledge. >

Shepley and Shelley’s staunchly indepen-dent shops and services are a breath offresh air in every sense and the same canbe said about the excellent choice ofpubs and restaurants close by, servingfine wines, beers and mouthwateringmeals.

In recent years the Shepley SpringFestival has helped to put the area on themap. The mid-May weekend celebratingthe very best of traditional music, songand dance has its own camp site adja-cent to the showground which is a boonfor visitors who travel far and wide toenjoy the festival’s unique atmosphere. Aswell as the headline concerts by leadingfolk, roots and acoustic artists, there aremany other side attractions such as chil-dren’s story sessions, street theatre andcraft stalls. More information includingdates for 2010 atwww.shepleyspringfestival.com

Shepley Spring is also the village’s mostfamous export - its mineral water, whichwas first discovered a century ago.Eastfield Mills is home to one of the UK’sleading bottlers and distributors ofbranded and speciality water, includingIce Valley, which is currently one of thecountry’s fastest growing brands.

Long ago, Shepley could boast anotherwell known name in the thirst-quenchingbusiness - but for Seth Senior & Sons,water was just one of several ingredientsused in brewing beer. Legends has it thatSenior started with a single sovereign,hence the name of the pub at the top endof Shepley, which also housed the brew-ery. At one time, the family owned severalpubs in the area.

By way of a contrast, the villagers ofShelley were renowned for making rugs -Tumble Twist rugs, to be precise - andcorsets. The Shelley Dreadnought was aseamless handwoven corset which camewith the following advice: ‘Please don’twear one pair above three years’.

Another claim to fame is that JohnWesley, the founder of the MethodistChurch visited Shelley in 1788, on one ofhis journeys through the North ofEngland. He preached from the pulpit ofthe village’s Wesleyan chapel which hadbeen built three years earlier.

Football and cricket enjoy a loyal followingin both villages. Shepley can also boastits own tennis, bowling and croquetclubs, the latter was apparently born outof frustration – the men of Shepley weresaid to be spending too long at the bowl-ing club and so the women set up thecroquet club next door. For more gems oflocal history go towww.ckcricketheritage.org.uk and searchfor ‘Shepley’ or ‘Shelley’ via the SouthKirklees link.

The hub of community life in Shelley is theaward-winning village hall - recently itbecame only the third hall in Yorkshire toreceive the ACRE Hallmark 1, whichrecognises excellent management.

Regular activities here include ShelleyOver 60s Club, a playgroup five morningsa week, a modern sequence dancingclub, Cub Scouts and Beaver Scouts, linedancing classes, the Thursday Club, avery successful Bridge Club, PierrotPlayers amateur dramatic society andnumerous social events run by the asso-ciation as well as private parties.

Post Office services are now based atthe hall, replacing the previous villagepost office which closed last Octoberwhen the sub post-master retired. Thego-ahead for the new outreach service -the first in West Yorkshire - followedmore than six months’ hard work bythe Shelley Community Association,Village Hall Committee and KirkburtonParish Council.

Shelley is also home to Armitage’srenowned Pennine Garden Centre - agreat place to take the children and to getthem interested in gardening. Learningwhere so much of our food is producedcan also encourage them to eat morehealthily.

Summer is an ideal time to plan a visit toShepley and Shelley with several dates foryour diary including:

We asked you last issue to complete our

Readers’ Survey and tellus what you liked

best about your Huddersfield Magazine, and

what new features you would like tosee.

So, first of all, many thanks to all of you who

took the time and troubleto fill it in and send

it off! Some of you won prizes in our draw,

and to those who didn’t -we hope your

new-look magazine is some compensation.

Most of your comments were positive, and

you certainly know what you like ... and

what you don’t!

Some of you want more fashion, some of

you want less. Although the makeover is

popular, a lot of you don’trate it at all.

Competitions are popular... but when we

run them you don’t enter!

You like the special offersand you love the

Real Restaurant Reviews. Features and list-

ings of events in and around Huddersfield

are popular, and a lot of you enjoy the arti-

cles about local villages.

But what really comes through loud and

clear is that you like the fact that the maga-

zine is genuinely about Huddersfield and its

people.

We’ve taken your comments on board, and

have added some features and changed

others.

Lots of you wanted a ‘how to’ or hobby

page, and we are startingalready, with

instructions for a pretty bouquet in this

issue.

Sport was something youasked for, so this

issue we have some topgolfing tips - future

issues will feature profilesof local sports per-

sonalities and teams.

We always like to highlight what’s available

in the shops in town, so we have a couple

of seasonal pieces aboutlife in the great

outdoors - but no fashionthis time!

Some of you don’t find the profile terribly

interesting, so we will belooking at different

people and long-standingbusinesses for a

change.

Future issues will be full of beauty treat-

ments, recipes, holiday ideas, interior deco-

ration ... and lots more.

Keep your comments coming - we want to

be sure we’re giving youwhat you really

really want!

A few of the things you think:

‘Informative about Huddersfield’

‘Colourful, glossy, eye catching,

models look good’‘Stylish, interesting and informative’

‘Easy to navigate, nice and glossy,

looks expensive’‘Easy to read, good presentation’

‘Bright eye catching features, well

written’

A few of the things you want:

‘More pages! Good mag’

‘More articles, magazine is a great

idea’‘Less fashion’‘More shoes, reviews on cosmetics’

‘Recipe competition and more give-

aways’

There is a small car park in the centre of thevillage near the Post Office and public trans-port to Emley from local towns.Starting point: the Stone Cross by the vil-

lage car park.Emley was granted a royalcharter in 1253 to hold weeklymarkets. The Stone Cross inthe centre of the village is theremains of the market cross,the upper part of which wasdestroyed during the civil war.Leaving the white stone crossbehind you, turn and walk

down Church Street passing St Michael’sChurch on the left.Note the cross in the church yard wall by thewar memorial. This was the symbol of theKnights Hospitalers of Wakefield who ownedmuch of the land around Emley. The aim ofthis ancient monastic order was to care forthe sick and to raise funds to protect the pil-grims in the Holy Land during the Crusades.The cross was removed from a cottage whichstood near the former Co-operative store(now the village store)Turn right onto School Lane and walk pastEmley First School on your left until you reachRodley lane.Follow the lane for about 150 metres thenbear right onto Thorncliffe Lane. PassThorncliffe farm on your right and just pastthe farm, climb over the stone and woodenstile in the wall on your right.

Thorncliffe Lane is a very old road and usedto be stone flagged and was the main roadfrom Emley to Wakefield.Follow the hedgerow on your right for 200metres and cross a wooden stile. Continue tofollow the hedge and wall on your right untilyou meet a stile down the bank. Cross here,then turn immediately left over the stile by thegate, and follow the hedge on your left up toand over the next stile.You cannot see the next stile yet so, if themast is visible, point the number 6 of yourwatch at the mast and then walk in the direc-tion of 12 on your watch (east) towards thebottom right hand corner of the field.As you walk across the field you will see thehuge remains of ancient bell pits on your left(now fenced off)Iron ore was mined in these pits from a ‘blackband’ of ore known as the Tankersley Seamwhich ran through local coal seams. Iron wasmined and processed by the monks in Emleylong before the industry became important inthe Sheffield area. Once melted down usingcharcoal from local woods, iron ingots weretaken by packhorse through Midgley to theriver Calder to go to Selby or York.Continue across the fields for 300 metres orso, until you find a gate and wooden stile justleft of the clump of holly trees. Through thestile keep the wooden fence on your right andcontinue walking straight ahead for 150metres to the next stile at the bottom of thefield. Do not turn right or climb over this stile,but turn left and follow the fence.

This section of path is part of the‘Kirklees Way’ long distance foot-path which now runs for 72 milesaround Kirklees District.The wide open fields in this area were opencast mined for coal and restored in the 1960sas were Bank Woods over to the right whichwere replanted with conifers. The open farm-land here is ideal for some species of bird,and if you look and listen as you go, you arelikely to hear skylard and lapwing and maybecurlew if you are lucky!Follow the fence and hedge on your rightover 2 stiles bringing you onto the bottom ofLeisure Lane.For full details of this walk and others inthe Kirklees area visit:www.kirklees.gov.uk/leisure or call in atthe Tourist Information CentreMap and walk courtesy of Kirklees CouncilCountryside Unit.

Do I need an implant? Have you got missingteeth? Then implants may be right for you! The obvi-ous cases are those where a single front tooth ismissing. Everyone wants a replacement tooth forthere, but what about back teeth? Are they impor-tant? “Well yes” says Robin, “If a tooth is missing fur-ther back in the mouth a lot of people say ‘oh itdoesn’t matter I can’t see it’, but it’s more importantthan that. “I agree a back tooth might not be visiblebut its function, not beauty, we are talking about. “Ifwe loose a tooth the tooth behind it tilts into thespace and the opposite tooth over grows leading toa poor bite. This in turn overloads the teeth on theother side of your mouth and in turn this side failsalso. “The end result often is that we then overloadthe front teeth and they either become loose, weardown greatly or push forwards, all of which are out-comes that need further treatment. “So why not lookat replacing those missing teeth before the years rollby doing irreparable damage. By the time most of usrealise there is a problem many years have passedand a lot of the damage may have been done. Thatis not to say that it is too late, it’s just that a betterjob could have been done earlier.’’

What are the advantages? As we talked aboutearlier they stop further deteriora-tion of the remaining teeth bysupporting them in function. Ifyou have all the spaces filled, theloading on any individual tooth isreduced. They help prevent thebone from shrinking, which thebone does when there is notooth to stimulate it. In fact den-tures are the fastest way to loosebone, they actually cause thebone to shrink. Implants don’tneed to attach to other teeth sounlike bridges they can beplaced almost anywhere, they donot involve cutting away a tootheither, unlike a bridge. The suc-cess rate of an implant over 10 to15 years is up to six times higherthan that of a simple bridge soideally we should place implantsnot bridges.

I have a few teeth missing, doI need an implant for everytooth? No you don’t necessarilyneed an implant for each missingtooth. It is quite possible toreplace all the teeth in one archwith only four implants. Theimplants support a full bridge.

ental implants – your questions answeredby Huddersfield dentist Dr Robin Warne.During the last 30 years or so the use ofdental implants has changed dentistry

beyond recognition. Twenty years ago very few peo-ple knew anything about implants in the UK. Incountries such as Sweden and Switzerland implantshave been important for many years and 10 timesas many patients have dental implants in thesecountries as do Britons in the UK.Over the last fiveyears more and more people in the UK havebecome aware of the importance of dental implantsand today most people have heard about them butwhat are they? Dr Robin Warne from HuddersfieldDental Implants & Cosmetics explains more:

What are dental implants? Implants are artificialroots placed in your jaws to allow new teeth to befitted. They can replace single teeth or multiple teethright up to full sets with the new teeth being perma-nently fixed in place similarly to your own teeth.Another option for their use is to help retain loosedentures. Whichever option is the most appropriatefor you they have one thing in common: they are lifechanging. They are made from titanium which isaccepted by your own body as itself. Other materi-als have been used but these are not wellresearched and may not be suitable in the longterm. The success rates of modern titanium implantsis fantastic.

I have full dentures, what are my options?There are basically three common options, thefirst is to secure a loose denture with two stan-dard or four mini implants, this will hold the den-ture firmly in place but still allows some minutemovement. Secondly a bar can be constructedon four implants and this can support an overdenture absolutely rigid, these are not like the oldround bars. And finally teeth can be fixed in placeto make a permanent bridge.

Why should I go to Huddersfield DentalImplants and Cosmetics for my implanttreatment? It is important that what may be aonce in a life time treatment should be done tothe best standards. Dr Robin Warne has trainedin seven European countries and the USA and isone of the few dentists to hold a masters degreein implantology which he achieved three yearsago. He is passionate about perfection and willnot accept second best.How to make an appointment to see Robin. It’ssimple, just call the practice on 01484 537222,call in while passing or [email protected] and we will make you anappointment to improve your life.
