Turn your outdoors intoanother room where you canrelax and
entertain. GGabrielleFagan finds out how to createthe perfect space
with thelatest fabulous furniture
f ever there was a time tomake the most of youroutdoor space,
its thisyear.
Tight budgets and thethreat of viruses, as well as
a growing reluctance to stamp acarbon footprint all over
theglobe, will almost certainly resultin more of us enjoying time
inour own gardens this summer.
Fortunately, the choice ofgarden furniture and accessorieshas
never been better, and theres
no longer any need to settle foruncomfortable, wobbly seats or
aconventional dining set.
Liz Murphy, associate editor ofHouse Beautiful, says: Once
thedomain only of the keengardener, our gardens havebecome
extensions of our homes.
Most of us rush to sit outside atthe first glimpse of
springsunshine, and we want our gardensto feel as comfortable as
our livingrooms, equipped with everythingfrom sofas to coffee
tables.

Open-plan kitchens opening onto decks and patios is
anestablished trend, she points out,and this creates the need for
theview from the back of the houseto look as good as the front.
Rather than grabbing the firstsunlounger or patio set you
see,she advises that when planning aroom outdoors, you start from
thesame basic point as you wouldwhen creating an indoors room.
Liz says: Decide what you wantthe room to do, and how muchlight
it gets. If you want anoutside dining area and yourgardens in full
sun overlunchtime, make sure to includelots of shade.
In the short term, this may bean awning or huge parasol, but
alonger term solution could be anarbour which, if you plantclimbing
vines to cover it, it willlook gorgeous and give far more
shadethan anumbrella.
Newmaterials such asweather-resistant rattan havebanished the
chore of rushingaround covering up furniture atthe first sign of a
shower, or theneed to store it.
If your priority is to lounge,rather than eat, Liz
suggestsopting for comfy living room-stylefurniture like large,
squashy sunloungers or a corner unit.
Dont neglect all-importantfinishing touches like lighting,she
urges, adding: Solar-poweredground and fairy lights willgradually
begin to twinkle asdarkness falls, creating a softglow to eat
by.
Use lamps, lanterns andcandles to highlight particularfeatures
in your garden, such as a
beautiful tree, bush, orpretty seating area.Add scented candles
tofill the air withfragrance.
Spruce up yourpatio by choosing from
this selection of someof the best outdoorfurniture and
accessories.

Whatever you drive normally, when itcomes to your wedding, youll
want tobe chauffered around in a smart set ofwheels. Brian
Saunders, proprietor ofBrisan Carriages, steers us in the
rightdirection for choosing the right car
risan Carriages wasestablished in 1996,and since then thefleet
has expanded toalmost 30 vehicles.Based in Cuffley,
EN6, its area of operation coversHertfordshire, Essex,
Middlesexand most London postaldistricts.
The range of professionallychauffeured, high qualityvintage,
classic and modernRolls Royce and Bentleywedding cars, supported
bycolour co-ordinated Daimler andMercedes
seven-passengerlimousines, can meeteverybodys taste and budget.The
vast majority of the cars aregaraged in Cuffley, in a
well-litbuilding, where it is stronglyrecommended that clients
viewthem either in the daytime orevening by appointment,
beforebooking the cars.
Ive just got engaged and want tobook a car for my wedding howdo
I know which one to go forr?Brian says: The wedding cars andtheir
chauffeurs play an integraland important role on yourspecial day
and should beconsidered as more than justtransport.
There are many chauffeur-driven car hire businessesoperating in
the wedding sectorbut it is important to select thosecompanies that
have an in-depthknowledge of the requirementsand traditions of the
Jewishmarket which vary quiteconsiderably from the manyother types
of religious and civilceremonies.
There are many different typesof bridal cars available but
themost popular choice for Jewishcouples are Rolls Royce andBentley
models from which youcan choose vintage (mainly

1930s), classic (late 1940s to1970s) or modern (1980s
tocurrent). You can choose a carwhich caters perfectly to thebride
and grooms tastes.
If the wedding is to take placeduring the hot summer monthsand
the journey to the place ofceremony is to takeapproximately 45
minutes ormore, then a car with air-conditioning may be high on
thebrides list of requirements.
By definition a late classic ormodern car is recommendedwhere
air-conditioning systemswere fitted as standard.
Invariably the later cars do nothave the character of the
vintageand early classic models and sothe external appearance
andcharacter of the car may behigher on the agenda than thecomfort
of a modern AC system.It should be borne in mind,however, that most
of the vintageand classic cars have an airflowsystem and also, as
they travel atmodest speeds, a partial openingof the windows will
ensurecomfort without risk to thebrides hairdo.
Interior space is also an issueand although there is
adequatespace in all models, a bride whowants maximum room
andcomfort should choose a vintage,long wheel base or
limousinemodel.
Should I book one car or two what does it depend on?Brian says:
Support vehicles tothe main wedding car (mainlyfor the bridesmaids
and thegrooms party) are normallyDaimler or Mercedes limousinesthat
can carry up to sevenpassengers. It is recommendedthat you choose a
company that
can provide support vehicles inthe same livery as the
mainwedding car for greater effect onthe day.
The majority of Jewishweddings follow the traditionwhere the
bride travels in themain wedding car to theceremony, with both her
motherand the mother of the groom,and the brides father travelswith
the grooms party. It iscommon, therefore, to use one ofthe support
vehicles to carry outthe transfer between both pick-up addresses.
This service isnormally provided in thestandard price of the car or
for avery small nominal charge whichreflects the time and
distanceinvolved.
What is your most popular carrand why do you think this is?Brian
says: The most popularmain wedding car is the RollsRoyce Silver
Cloud.
I have three white Silver Cloud111s pure white, porcelainwhite
and acrylic white (thecreamiest of the whites) and aSilver Cloud 11
in black overivory. This car is a rare long-wheel base model.
These cars date from the earlyto mid 1960s and are, arguably,the
most elegant of the classiccars combining space andcomfort as well
as charm andcharacter. In the photographsthey look fantastic
outside anytype of venue.
The Silver Clouds are alwayssupported by colour matchingDaimler
Limousines whichcompliment them perfectly.
Close behind the Silver Cloudsare the 1930s vintage RollsRoyces
which are absolutelystunning. Despite their age we
are happy to drive them thesame distances as the other
carsincluding into central London.
What is the standard number ofhours a car can be booked forand
are there any extrasincluded in the price?Brian says: The tariff is
based ona three-hour hire time withadditional time over and
abovethree hours chargeable at 50per vehicle per hour; although
ifthere are several cars required apackage price is normally
given.
The timing of the arrival at thefirst pick-up address and
timeallowed for the individualmovements of the cars is key toan
efficient operation on the day.As a general rule, the groom andhis
party should arrive at thesynagogue 45 minutes before theceremony
for photographs,prayers etc and the bride 15minutes before to allow
for thebedeken - but depending on thedifferent requirements on
theday this may vary.
The time allowed for eachjourney should be generous toallow for
possible hold-ups.Travelling into central London ona Sunday is a
slow process. It isalways easier to park up and killtime if
necessary rather than tryto make it up.
I want a car that will stand outfrom thee crowd what do
yousuggest?Brian says: I believe that the carsthat really catch the
eye are thecars at the extreme ends of thetime spectrum.
The 1930 vintage cars arespectacular and always
receiveadmiration from all who seethem.
However, I now have a new
Rolls Royce Phantom in the rangewhich is equally spectacular
fordifferent reasons and has provedto be extremely popular.
I have quite a low budget whatis your recommendation for acredit
crunch friendly car?Brian says: The Rolls RoyceSilver Shadow is at
the bottomend of the price range. It is,however, a beautiful
classicwhite Rolls Royce from the1970s with all the refinementsof a
modern car including airconditioning. It is an ideal mainbridal car
which can besupported, if necessary, with aseven-passenger
classicMercedes or Daimler Limousine.

DONT FORGET...
1) To decide what your priorities are(i.e air conditioning),
which will alsoinclude the budget allowed normallydetermined by the
grooms side.
2) To arrange who is to travel with thebride to the ceremony, to
allow timefor a transfer between the grooms andbrides addresses if
necessary.
3) To plan a detailed timetable so thatthere is a margin for
error in the traveltimes. The wedding car operatorshould be
involved to help with this.
4) To book an appropriate number ofcars with the seating
capacity requiredto carry out the job efficiently
andcomfortably.
5) It is recommended that you use acompany that can provide
matchingcars for greater visual effect.

ith so anyrestaurants tochoose fromnowadays, onestarts to
wonderwhether weve
really gained anything in culinaryterms? Too many chefs seem to
takewonderful fresh ingredients andthen seem to do their utmost
todisguise the flavours.
Take steak, for example. So oftenjust mediocre meat served to
themasses rather than a charcoal-cooked quality cut that comes
froma speciality kitchen.
I was therefore happy to comeacross Goodman a proper
American steakhouse, which wasjust what the doctor (or so I
toldmyself) ordered after a long, hardday at the park. Named after
Jewishjazz legend Benny Goodman, themoment I stepped into this
Mayfairestablishment, I truly felt that Identered a little slice of
the States.
The interior as a whole isimpressive brown is thedominant
colour, and teamed withclever lighting and wooden floors,Goodman
exudes the aura of an eralong gone. Indeed, it felt as if
Bennyhimself might burst in at anymoment.
Rest assured, he didnt. What didshow up though was great food.
For
starters, I tucked into the organicsalmon carpaccio with
tomatoseeds, passion fruit and sea salt,which was light but
nonthelesspacked with flavour the passionfruit was a great twist
that elevatedthe dish. My dining partner wentfor a more classic
choice of slicedtomato, crumbled stilton, redonion and aged
balsamic vinegarwhich proved just as good inquality, freshness and
taste.
Mains though were the realreason for coming to Goodman,and we
were spoilt for choice. Thesteaks are cooked to order in aspecial
charcoal oven, and thesweet smell of the choice cutsfilled the
restaurant.
We knew we were in for a treat.My Goodman rib eye was
sodelicious, I nearly cried. Fourhundred grams of USDA primebeef,
120 days grain fed providingthe perfect flavoursome and juicycut,
and complemented to a tee bythe pepper sauce I chose as
anaccompaniment.
My partner, meanwhile, optedfor the delicious fillet,
whichcomprised 250g from UK grass-fedAngus cattle. Again, a perfect
cut, itsimply melted in the mouth. Healso opted for a divine
mushroomsauce and hand cut chips crispyyet light, just as the ideal
chipshould be.
We were fit to burst so took a
good while before ordering dessertsbut we were not disappointed
oncethey arrived: my warm chocolatefondant with vanilla bean
ice-cream was scrumptious as I cutthrough the fondant, the
chocolatecentre melted out on to the placeand merged with the
ice-cream tocreate the most amazing mixtureof taste, texture and
temperature.My partner was delighted with his
baked vanilla cheesecake whichcame with a berry compote,
whichlooked creamy yet not too heavy.
It is easy to see why Goodman issuch a success: excellent
service,great decor, a classic Americantheme, a central location
and, letsnot forget, quality ingredientscooked to perfection the
ultimaterecipe for restaurant success.
