If you are at all worried about what to get that special someone this Christmas, then don't be. Plymouth has a wealth of Independent shops, national chains, stylish boutiques and a collection of shopping centres that can offer the perfect gift to even the most difficult to buy for.
Much has changed over the past 20 years on our typical British 'high street'. Technological innovations, economic pressures, ever evolving products, tastes and strategies have influenced the landscape as well as our shopping trends.
As the year comes to an end, we take a look at how the housing market has performed as well as how the government is looking to give it a boost by adding an extra £ 10 million to the Help to Buy scheme.
It is therefore great to see that Plymouth has a thriving Independent sector who offer the city such a variety of unique, bespoke products. We highlight just some of the cities best.
Finally, we take look at some of the local areas new homes developments that may tempt us into moving in 2018.

'Fishermen and Seal'by Barbara de Mora
art matters by Norman Holmes
Before I dive into the maelstrom that is Christmas I must reflect first on two events of last month. Firstly , I was very sad to learn that local Brixton artist Jean May Parsons had passed away. She really was a delightful lady and a very talented artist in both watercolour and her more quirky take on local views, especially quaint local harbours. She will be missed and if you have one of her pieces, then treasure it. Secondly, I was blown away with the quality and humour of the work by Barbara De Mora at her recent exhibition at the Devonport Guildhall, it really was a joy. If you missed it then I believe she now has some new pieces on display at Kaya Gallery on the Barbican that would make excellent Christmas presents.
your purchases will go a long way to supporting artists and charities. In fact there is a large craft fair in the Plymouth Guildhall on Saturday November 18th with many charities, including The Samaritans, selling a variety of products. As a city we are also very lucky to have the renowned Barbican which has an outstanding wide range of shops selling original art, jewellery, ceramics, glass, textiles, antiques and other beautiful gift ideas. Also, if you have the time it’s worth visiting Wildwood arts at Horrabridge where their Autumn exhibition is showcasing a number of artists including Richard Slater, Arthur Homeshaw and David Brook.
Indeed with Christmas in mind, once again can I implore you to at least consider buying your presents at local galleries or craft fairs where your purchases will go a long way to supporting artists and charities.

Finally if you are considering buying a gift for an artist then consider the DVD of the film ‘Maudie’ which is a joyous and beautiful depiction of
'Rainl' by Barbara de Mora someone with a disability finding love and being loved through her ability to create art that connects with an audience. In fact talking about art on film, I must also mention that Plymouth Art Centre is showing the film’Loving Vincent’ in November , which is a remarkable piece of animation made not on a computer but instead over 100 talented artists hand painted every single frame in oils, in the unmistakable style of Vincent Van Gogh. Lots to enjoy in the future so may I wish you and your loved ones a wonderful Christmas.

What the Dickens!
Plymouth’s favourite funny foursome return with family friendly version of A Christmas Carol After the sell-out successes of The Jungle Book, Robin Hood & His Merry Men, and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Barbican Theatre and Le Navet Bete are excited to present their latest co-produced Christmas show, a joyful, comic re-telling of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol from 14 December to 7 January. The inimitable Le Navet Bete are back for their seventh Christmas in Plymouth with their hilarious and unique version of the greatest Christmas ghost story ever told, co-produced with Barbican Theatre. A festive physical comedy treat for the whole family featuring all the much loved Dickensian characters plus a few extra for good measure – it is Christmas after all!
Here are just a handful of reviews of previous Barbican Theatre and Le Navet Bete coproductions: “Ingenious and effortlessly hilarious, they deliver a cracking mix of wit and slapstick tomfoolery”. (The Stage) “Masterful physical comedy” (The Argus) “Side-splittingly funny” (Broadway World)
A festive physical comedy treat for the whole family
A Christmas Carol will be performed at Plymouth’s much loved and larger Plymouth Athenaeum. This follows the hugely successful 10 performance run of Le Navet Bete’s Dracula: The Bloody Truth at the theatre earlier this year; the first theatrical performance on its stage since it was mothballed in 2009. A further reason for moving the Christmas show to The Plymouth Athenaeum was due to last year’s The Jungle Book selling out so quickly, with extensive waiting lists and many left disappointed. The Plymouth Athenaeum has a larger 332 capacity, which is more than double that of the Barbican Theatre, so we hope that everyone who wants to see the show this year can!
24 woinplymouth
Sheila Snellgrove, Barbican Theatre’s CEO says “Le Navet Bete and Barbican Theatre’s Christmas productions have become an institution for theatre audiences in Plymouth as evidenced by the increase in audience numbers year on year. Following our very successful run of Dracula at The Plymouth Athenaeum this April and sell out Christmas shows over the past few years, we are excited about reaching even more new audiences with our Christmas production at this wonderful larger theatre.”
A Christmas Carol will be directed by nationally recognised writer and director John Nicholson. We are very excited to be working with John, founder of Peepolykus and one of the UK’s most exciting theatre companies. John is described as “the comedy director of the moment” and has worked with Le Navet Bete on a number of productions. Most recently John directed and co-wrote their critically acclaimed Dracula: The Bloody Truth.
A total of 32 performances will be held at The Plymouth Athenaeum from 14 December 2017 to 7 January 2018 (including matinee and evening performances).
Al Dunn from Le Navet Bete says “We first met Barbican Theatre in 2008 and we’ve worked closely with them ever since on a number of very successful co-productions. This year we’re looking forward to bringing our joyful, hilarious version of Dickens’ classic Christmas tale to the Athenaeum. We feel privileged to be the company that has re-opened the Athenaeum for theatre performances. We’ve got a great team working on the production including a fantastic designer who is working on an incredible set”.
As ever tickets are great value at just £16 for full and £14 for concessions (under 16s, over 60s, students and disabled). There is also a great value family ticket at just £50 (for two full and two under 16s). Plus, if you’re coming with a large party there’s a group saver discount: buy 10 tickets get the 11th FREE!

The gastronomic offerings of a Plymouth restaurant have been recognised with a coveted award. The Duke of Cornwall Hotel, on Millbay Road, has received a second AA Rosette for its fine dining restaurant, following a highly favourable inspection last month. This award is a significant accolade, with the Duke’s restaurant joining only a handful of establishments in the city with two or more AA Rosettes to their name. Two Rosettes are awarded only where restaurants can meet the exacting standards of innovation, technical skill and culinary judgement that the AA demands for this award level. Fewer than 5% of restaurants across the UK are considered to reach the quality required for two Rosettes to be allocated. The Duke of Cornwall Hotel has developed a growing reputation as a fine dining venue in the south-west. Main courses from its menu include dishes such as stone bass with local mussels, smoked bacon, sweetcorn chowder and Maris Piper mash. Among the starters available, diners can find chicken liver parfait, rhubarb and date chutney and toasted brioche. Desserts are a similarly tantalising prospect, one example being a dish of apricots and almond sponge, featuring apricot gel, almond praline and stem ginger ice cream. Behind this ambitious cuisine is an adventurous and talented kitchen team, led by head chef Kevin Scargill and sous chef Nick Reed. This creative duo frequently get out and about in Devon and Cornwall to meet the region’s food producers – an ongoing quest that provides not only a supply of fresh ingredients, but fresh ideas too. As well as yielding an extra Rosette for the Duke of Cornwall’s restaurant, the recent AA inspection brought a ratings boost for the hotel more generally. It has been given a Hotel Silver Award in addition to its existing Three Star Hotel classification. This award recognises a superior quality within the star rating, and is based on factors such as the standard of hospitality, service and cleanliness offered. The achievement of a second Rosette for the Duke of Cornwall Hotel’s restaurant is a welcome independent acknowledgement of the venue’s hard work and innovation. The award is good news for the kitchen team who have earned it. But as yet another sign of Plymouth’s flourishing repute for exceptional dining choices, it’s great news for local food lovers too.

How to cook the perfect Christmas Turkey It's the centrepiece of a traditional Christmas dinner. But how do you make sure that your dinner guests are going to be asking for more, come the end of the meal, rather than thanking their lucky stars it's a full 365 days until they next taste Turkey?
Go East for this years Christmas Party From a family that loves sushi, and with an experienced chef at the helm; Kuku Sushi Bar & Robata lives up to its name; which in Japanese means diverse and truly exciting! Whether with friends or colleagues; for two or for ten, agreeing where to hold your pre-Christmas Christmas dinner is always tricky, and although Kuku may be about as far removed from the ‘traditional’ Christmas dinner as you can get, it really is a great choice this Christmas. There are many benefits to a Christmas Party at Kuku Sushi Bar & Robata; exploring Japanese options gives vegetarians in your party a much wider choice at Christmas, and for those friends or colleagues that think Japanese is all fish – they are very much mistaken! Our Robatta caters handsomely for meat lovers and even those that like the ‘traditional’ Christmas could swap the prawn cocktail for the Dragon Makimono (prawn tempura topped with avocado & teriyaki sauce) and the traditional roast Turkey for the Tori Teriyaki (chicken in a sweet Teriyaki sauce) and who couldn’t be tempted by the Chocolate Lava Cake with vanilla ice cream! You can choose from their mouth-watering set Christmas menu, which is available from Friday 25th November and starts at £23.95 per person. If the mood takes you, why not finish the evening with some of KUKU’s infamous cocktails from their cocktail bar. The Japanese approach to food is one to admire - it's respectful, appreciative, enthusiastic and practical. One of the world's great cuisines; it is simple, healthy, delicious and hugely varied and Christmas Party Nights at Kuku really are the very best. It’s strongly advised to book early for the Christmas Period; a deposit of 10 pounds per guest will be required for parties of 6 or more to secure your reservation.

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/gas mark 6. Put the turkey in the oven and cook for 15 minutes, then turn down the oven to 180C/350F/gas mark 4 and cook for a further: 3kg (6.6lb) – 1¾ hours 4kg (8.8lb) – 2 hours 5kg (11lb) – 2¼ hours 6kg (13.2lb) – 2½ hours 7-8kg (15.5lb – 17.7lb) – 3 hours 9-11kg (19.8lb – 24.2lb) – 3¼ hours Please note that weights include stuffing and that cooking times are only approximate.
How do you make sure that your dinner guests are going to be asking for more, come the end of the meal, rather than thanking their lucky stars it's a full 365 days until they next taste Turkey? 2, Temperature: Although the cooking times (above) are a good measure, it is worth investing in a meat thermometer. Thrust the thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh (don’t let the point touch the bone) to check if it has reached the right temperature. Ideally, take the Turkey out when it reaches 65C (150F), or if your bird is not free-range 70C (160F). 3, Manual check: If you don't have a meat thermometer, pierce the thigh and check the juices. The juices should run clear. Also, If you wiggle the drumstick, the joint should move freely. 4, Rest: Never carve a turkey straight out of the oven. It needs at least half an hour, and up to an hour and a half, covered in foil and sitting on the side in the kitchen. The turkey will continue to cook and the internal temperature will go on rising, by a good 10C (18F). This gives you plenty of time to finish the vegetables or open up a bottle of bubbly and relax!

Spending time with your family and friends surely hits everyone’s top spot! It’s true, you may get tired of hearing the same embarrassing stories about the time you did ‘that’ thing when you were five; or the stubbly kiss from your Great Aunt Winnie; the forced feeding of sprouts and then that deep, dark cringe when you hear ‘you’re next’ - for the annual game of charades! ...But, this all being said, there is something magical about Christmas and the way it makes us all warm up inside with fuzzy excitement at the very thought. Whether you have family traditions, cosy days in or you take it in turns to host; Christmas holds something very dear to everyone, including all of us here at the New Continental Hotel. Working in hospitality means Christmas is busy, but staff at the New Continental Hotel LOVE Christmas.

We wanted to share our top FIVE favourite Christmas things, things that have already got us excited about the coming weeks! At FIVE: Dec the Halls! We have so many beautiful Christmas Trees and decorations scattered lovingly throughout the hotel from November, with carols playing softly in the background and lights down low; the dark nights and warm hotel glow spell ‘Christmas’ to us all!

Winter is coming….. Book now for you Christmas Lunch or Party Night at The Corinthian
A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, thanks to the Victorians During the middle ages, Christmas had become a prominent festival in England. Many of the countries dignitaries would celebrate with a Christmas Feast, with one notable event being held by King Richard II in 1377 where 28 Oxen and 300 sheep were eaten. Such feasts would see a Christmas Ale being supped whilst carols were sung by dancers.
Situated halfway between Plymouth Hoe and the Barbican our club boasts magnificent views over the Sound. This Christmas, The Corinthian is home to the fabulous Winter wonderland and has lots to offer. We have our delicious and festive three course meal available day and evening, take advantage of the fantastic food, views and service to treat yourself and the family.
Despite its popularity, the reformation and subsequent Puritan parliament triumphing over King Charles I of England in 1644, Christmas being banned in 1647. This resulted in ProChristmas riots breaking out in major cities. The restoration in 1660 lifted the ban, but the celebration of Christmas was still disapproved of by the Anglican clergy. It wasn't until the beginning of the 1800's that Christmas started taking the form that we recognise today.
Many attribute the rise in popularity of Christmas in the 1800's to Queen Victoria, and it was her marriage to the German-born Prince Albert that introduced some of the most prominent aspects of Christmas. 1843 was a significant year for the 'rebirth' of Christmas. Although Charles Dickens did not invent the Victorian Christmas, his book A Christmas Carol (1843) went a long way to popularise and spread the traditions of a festival. Its themes of family, charity, goodwill, peace and happiness encapsulate the spirit of the Victorian Christmas. The preparation and eating of the feast, decorations and gift giving, entertainments and parlour games - all were essential to the celebration of the 'Victorian Christmas' and were shared by the whole family. In the same year, Henry Cole commissioned an artist to design a celebratory card. The illustration showed a group of people around a dinner table and a Christmas message. The message on the card read 'Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year' and was taken from an informal letter, written by an English admiral in 1699. At one shilling each, these proved too dear for the ordinary Victorian family and so weren't initially successful. However, the idea caught on and many children - Queen Victoria's included – were encouraged to make their own Christmas cards.

You’ll find the warmest welcome at the RPCYC. Whether you are visiting for lunch or just popping in for a slice of cake and a coffee you will find our team of friendly staff warm and welcoming and happy to help you in any way.
Take advantage of the fantastic food, views and service to treat yourself and the family. By the 1880s the sending of cards had become hugely popular, creating a lucrative industry that produced 11.5 million cards in 1880 alone. Many attribute the rise in popularity of Christmas in the 1800's to Queen Victoria, and it was her marriage to the German-born Prince Albert that introduced some of the most prominent aspects of Christmas. In 1848 the Illustrated London News published a drawing of the royal family celebrating around a decorated Christmas tree, a tradition that was reminiscent of Prince Albert's childhood in Germany. Soon every home in Britain had a tree decked with candles, sweets, fruit, home made decorations and small gifts.

To stop Santa from pinching all your pennies, book a week day Christmas party at a reduced rate and pre-order from our fantastic drinks packages.
Also in 1848, confectioner, Tom Smith, invented a new way to sell sweets. Inspired by a trip to Paris where he came across 'Bon-Bons', a sweet wrapped in paper. he came up with the idea of the Christmas cracker: a simple package filled with sweets that snapped when pulled apart. In years to follow the sweets were replaced by small gifts and paper hats.
We also have some grreat events coming soon:
Finally, in the late 19th century, decorating the home at Christmas had became very popular. Using twigs and sprigs to decorate a room for a celebration had dated back to Medieval times, but in the 1880's families were encouraged to spend more time creating a more elaborate affair.

Castang Wine
White Rioja an alternative wine for Christmas By Stephen Barrett
Recently I extolled the joys of White Rioja having tasted diverse styles from historic bodegas. When the magic wine word Rioja is mentioned it seems to please both the novice and more experienced wine slurper alike! What is it about these “wine words?” I bet the great wines of Germany would like you to spout forth Nahe, Wurttemburg or the maybe the easier Rheinhessen with the same smile of approval? The same could be said for wines of Portugal’s grape varieties? Try saying Dolzelinho Branco, Alfrosheira or Samarrinho with confident ease? I guess it’s always about familiarity and being in your comfort zone. Remember Chardonnay? The grape became a familiar Christian name in TV sit coms. already! Enough of this meandering lets get back to White Rioja and its characteristics. For many a year White Rioja was always made in the style similar to White Burgundy. Ripe Viura grapes were harvested and fermented in oak barrels before bottling. This created a “Vin de gard” or “wine for keeping” that needed some years in bottle to soften and mature into a glorious vanilla-scented wine with enormous aging potential. During this aging process the young often clumsy wine will morph into something worth searching out for for those who relish White Burgundy’s inimitable luxurious style. This also brings a premium as time in oak and bottle costs money. This was a rather closed shop for most wine drinkers creating a wine that has simply not been consumed in any great proportions as it is probably less than 5% of the entire Rioja production. Then in 2007 I was in Rioja when the regulating authority declared that other white grape varieties would be allowed to be used, changing at a stroke the future styles of White Rioja. Grapes that can now be used are Tempranillo Blanco, Verdejo, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Malvasia, Garnacha Blanca, Maturana Blanca, Turruntes and Viura (Macabeo). Some of them you will know some you won’t. Regulations in 2007 controlled the percentage of Chardonnay, Verdejo and Sauvignon Blanc allowed to just 49% either singularly or as part of a blend. In other words the three (outsider) grapes will not be allowed to dominate. So a new style of White Rioja was born. It took five years or so for plantings to be considered but now with the popularity of Albarino from Galicia
50 woinplymouth
and Verdejo from Rueda a more aromatic style of White Rioja is emerging. Labels still need to be read and tasting the wine before buying would be a great help but at the moment it’s a bit hit and miss. This might be ok for the wine hunter who would be happy to taste as many wines as he or she could before fixating on a certain house style from one of the great names in Rioja.
eat-drink-party There is something for everyone...at Zuzimo! Located on the famous Plymouth Barbican, a short walk for the city centre and next to Sutton Harbour, Zuzimo! offers a relaxed and friendly atmosphere to perfectly compliment the fresh, local & homemade dishes that are cooked with passion, by chefs, in styles from around the world. With the restaurant able to accomodate up to 80 people at a time, Zuzimo! is perfect for a festive party or an intimate meal for two. Having just celebrated 3 years of business, owners Mo and Zuzi Vassif, have created the perfect combination of great service, outstanding cuisnes and an atmosphere that is both friendly and relaxing.
For the majority of wine drinkers White Rioja will eventually represent a modern dry fruit driven wine. Not unlike many others on the market but that’s a conversation for another day.
Although specialising in Persian, North African and Southern Mediterranean cusines, the multinational mix of chefs can create dishes from all over the world, making Zuzimo! unique.
For the older more traditional style try Muga White Rioja 2015 £10.99 Majestic This has just been released so try and keep it for a couple if years – drink something else meanwhile – it should then offer a complex classical style reminiscent of White Burgundy but made with Viura and Malvasia so a tad quirkier. Great with spicy poultry dishes it is a red wines drinkers white wine!
Zuzimo! offers something for everyone, from their 'Tapas Tasting Menu', which is perfect for couples or for parties of 8 or more to a free bottle of house wine on a Wednesday for groups of 4 or more, when visiting the Plymouth Arts Centre and Theatre Royal.
To experience a more modern style of White Rioja plump for the Rioja Vega Tempranillo Blanco Edicion Limitada 2015 @ £10.95 discovered a few weeks ago at the annual tasting with Castang Wine Cellars from Looe. Excellent notes of a floral scent on the nose followed quickly by a citrus and herbal middle palate with a bone – dry finish creating a top new style from this as yet under - planted grape. I hope other bodegas from Rioja plant more indigenous varietals for unique styling but don’t forget their heritage as inevitable changes emerge! These are potentially your new-styled wines for the Christmas holiday!
Zuzimo! also offers 'Tapas Thursday' which comprises of a sellection of 3 tapas of your choice long with a small glass of wine for just £ 9.95. With the party season just around the corner, Zuzimo! are putting on a 'Latino Night to Remember' on Friday 24th November, 7pm. You will be welcombed with the best of South American cocktails & light bites, then onto a selection of traditonal starters followed by Gaucho style grill and much more - all for just £ 22.00 per person. Finally, Zuzimo! has Christmas wrapped up with a menu unlike any other in the city. Book Sunday to Thursday, Christmas lunches for £ 21.95pp and Friday, Saturday at just £ 26.95pp. They are also open for Christmas day lunch £ 34.95pp. Please see the website for more details and offers.

Around the world the centre-piece and supporting cast of the Christmas meal offers up some interesting ingredients and traditions that may just give you some ideas to transform your Yuletide feast.

Although common in many states of the US ,Virginia has oysters, ham pie, and fluffy biscuits, a nod to its very English 17th century founders. The Upper Midwest includes dishes from predominately Scandinavian backgrounds such as lutefisk (dried fish) and mashed rutabaga ( a mature turnip). In some rural areas, game meats like elk, opossum or quail may grace the table, often prepared with recipes that are extremely old celebrating and respecting their founding fathers. AUSTRALIA: Due to the fact that Christmas falls in the middle of the Ozzie Summer, the traditional hot meal is often replaced with cold meats such as Ham, Chicken and Turkey and accompanied by a side salad. In order to avoid using the oven, cooking is done outside on the barbecue using Shrimp, Steak, Wings and Drumsticks. With an abundance of seasonal fruits available such as mangoes and cherries the Australians tend to substitute Christmas pudding to a more refreshing Pavlova. CZECH REPUBLIC: A traditional Christmas dinner in the Czech Republic consists of fried carp and potato salad which are devoured on Christmas Eve. Many households also prepare a great variety of special Christmas cookies to offer to Christmas visitors. These are prepared many days prior to the feast and take a long time to decorate, with the remainder usually ending up on a Christmas tree as a decoration.
Dark greens, yellows and bright oranges are in abundance at this time of year which means the fruits and vegetables are rich in disease-fighting phytochemicals. In layman's terms, the more colourful the fruit, the better it is for your health. Phytochemicals are in many plants and food sources and are designed to protect plants from disease. Recent research however has shown that phytochemicals can also help fight disease in humans. We have selected some of the season best produce for you to use as well as the health benefits associated with them. Carrots: The bright orange colour is a healthy option banker. Containing Folic Acid, a group of Vitamin B, which helps fight free radicals betacarotene which is good for the health of spleen and stomach. Parsnips: Sweet in flavour Parsnips are a good source of fibre, vitamin C, calcium and iron. The best quality Parsnips are a medium size and firm to touch. Perfect for roasting and glazed in honey, this a firm favourite with any Sunday roast. Turnips and swedes: A member of the mustard family, turnips - known as swedes in Scotland They are a good source of vitamin C. Like their cousins, broccoli, cabbage and Brussels sprouts, Turnips and Swedes can protect you against cancer, especially breast cancer. Sweet potatoes: Good-quality sweet potatoes are firm to touch and despite the name are not potatoes. High in vitamin C, Sweet potatoes are an ideal choice for people with diabetes, since they are considered a low glycaemic food. This means that the carbohydrate in sweet potatoes is released slowly, which helps maintain steady blood sugar levels. Pumpkins: Rich in vitamin C and folate Pumpkins may reduce the risk of developing certain types of cancer and protect against heart disease. Pears: Pears are a high-fibre food Most of the fibre is also of the soluble kind, which can help lower blood cholesterol levels and improve blood sugar control.

Family visiting this Christmas? With Strathmore House, you may find you are visiting them this festive period. If as well as unpacking the Christmas Decorations, safely stowed away in the loft from last year, you are also thinking about bringing down the z-beds, spare duvets and those odd pillows also tucked away in the eave’s in preparation for your festive visits from family and friends; perhaps you should wait and while, sit back with a glass of mulled wine and a mince pie and see how Strathmore House Apartments might be able to help! Garnering both excitement and anticipation in equal measure, guests staying over Christmas and New Year can sometimes feel like a lively and chaotic scene from Home Alone! Of course, we all love hosting friends and family members; let’s face it a house full, is a home loved. But never the less; we also know only too well that with house guests can bring home disasters! Offering a ‘home from home’ experience at Strathmore House Apartments, our team have picked up some handy hints and tips along the way on offering the warmest of welcomes – and our gift to you this Christmas is sharing a few; on how to get ‘Christmas Guest Ready’!
Away In A Manger!
If you have the fortune of a spare room; lucky you! Everyone can be tucked up cosily in their own space; no tripping over suitcases, folding and unfolding blankets daily or getting under each other’s feet!
If you do have a guest room for your visitors, we always recommend that the day before they arrive you open some windows, air the room and bedding, check the radiators are on and add those finishing touches that make your guests feel like they have an extra special welcome. Even if they are just staying for a night or two, it’s great to offer your guests some drawers and hanging space so they can unpack and feel at home. Making sure you have spare hangers, fresh towels, candles and flowers and perhaps even some travel size toiletries are the small touches that make a big difference. At Strathmore House Apartments, we treat every guest like a visiting friend, making sure they have everything they need from that first cup of tea, to a hot shower with fresh, fluffy towels, to a warm and cosy relaxing evening after a long trip.
everything is just right for their arrival. If your guests can let you know when they will be with you, it’s less stress for you and much better for them.
Ding Dong Merrily on ‘Time’!
Christmas is a time when, even without guests, your home feels crowded; beautiful and twinkly - but crowded! Half of your living room is taken up with a six-foot tree in the corner, your kitchen work tops of full of sprouts and carrots, your cupboards are overflowing with Quality Streets and pickles, and your floors are covered with presents and wrapping paper! If you are keen to invite family and friends to enjoy Christmas with you, but them staying overnight is just a little too overwhelming, let us help.
With travel being how it is, and guests feeling like road warriors at the end of a motorway marathon, it’s not always easy for guests to give you their exact arrival time. But having a rough idea of when they will be arriving really helps. At Strathmore House Apartments we always ask for a rough time so that we can be sure to be there to welcome our guests personally. If they can, we ask them to call when they are about an hour or so away, if they couldn’t give us a time before hand, just so we can make sure
Everyone can be tucked up cosily in their own space; no tripping over suitcases, folding and unfolding blankets daily or getting under each other’s feet! 58 woinplymouth
Logistically too think about parking; extra bodies will normally mean extra vehicles! Make sure you give good, clear instructions on your local parking etiquette and policies.
We Wish You A Merry Christmas!
We can over your guests a home from home experience, plus even perhaps an escape for you too! Our apartments are extremely spacious, so your guests could welcome you as guests sometimes too! Prices from just £75 per night. For more detials on Strathmore House Apartments, visit: www.strathmorehouse.co.uk

Plymouth Market: Christmas under one roof Newly refurbished Plymouth Market is gearing up for Christmas with a December full of surprises and great deals, following its recent £3.5million refit. Back in September the Market, situated at the heart of the city’s West End, staged a huge celebration event to encourage shoppers to discover for themselves the amazing range of products and eateries it has to offer, all under the one roof. Grand Day Out created an incredible buzz and really showcased the Market as a unique and irreplaceable shopping venue. This Christmas sees the Market hosting the city’s renowned and well-loved Nutcracker Trail. The theme of storytelling will run throughout December and every Saturday special guests, including Santa, will read aloud from the Nutcracker story chair. Children, young and old, are welcome to sit down and listen in! There’s always something different to discover at the Market with exciting new stalls and eateries popping up, great for taking a break from all that hectic Christmas shopping. Recent additions to the building’s eclectic mix of eat-in and take away food options are Knead Pizza, Holy Crepe and Mediterranean Bites, all offering a range of great value, fresh and tasty feasts!
licensed premises in the building. You could follow that with a visit to Naomi at Holy Crepe and indulge in a delicious and gooey Nutella crepe, guaranteed to hit the spot on a cold December’s day! Plymouth Market is a great place to browse for presents this Christmas from stocking fillers through to a once in a lifetime piece of statement jewellery from our highly recommended goldsmiths and jewellery shops. There really is something for everyone in the Market, whatever your tastes or interests: there are several arts and crafts stalls offering handmade gifts and trinkets such as Nollycat Designs, Paper Cutz Glass and Drab to Fab, as well as stalls specialising in getting creative yourself! The Artist’s Palette stocks an impressive range of branded paints, canvasses and brushes to help release your inner Van Gogh, whilst Totally Potty gives customers of any age the opportunity to try their hand at creating a masterpiece in hand-painted ceramics to keep or give as a gift.
Look out for more details of Plymouth Market’s special Saturdays this December: there’ll be characters from favourite films, as well as children’s entertainers and local celebrity chefs! Stall holders will be running workshops, demos and tastings for you to sample just what’s on offer. Join Holly and Ali at Knead Pizza as they serve up their ‘Winter is Coming’ veggie/ vegan pizza or perhaps the ‘Pat Butcher’ – loaded with pepperoni, salami and ham - is more to your taste? New to the Market they offer craft beers to wash down these sourdough treats, the first

And Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without lashing of season fayre. The Nut House specialises in healthy and indulgent treats such as Turkish Delight, Baklava, dried fruits and nuts, perfect for sharing with friends and family over the holidays. If it’s sweet treats you’re after, visit Retro City or Sunny Sweets for a sugar rush and a walk down confectionary’s Memory Lane, sure to keep the kids quiet! And the Market has all the ingredients to make Christmas dinner truly scrumptious – fresh meats, fish and seafoods, fruit and veg, through to Christmas cakes and puddings as well as the clotted cream to go on top! Make sure you pay the team at Martin’s Butchers a visit and reserve your turkey in good time.

Plymouth's Independent Spirit
Much has changed over the past 20 years on our typical British 'high street'. Technological innovations, economic pressures, ever evolving products, tastes and strategies have influenced the landscape as well as our shopping trends.
local retailers will support the local community by holding events, fayres and markets to entice more people into the local community as well as add a 'social' aspect to area.
Personal touch:
As soon as you walk into an independent shop you immediately notice the difference. Not only will you generally find the owner of the business on hand to give you their advice, background to the product and expert opinion but also you will inevitably find that (depending on the item) you can 'try before you buy' – giving you piece of mind and a sense of 'customer service' that has long been a distant memory for many larger businesses.
Plymouth's Independent Spirit The growth of out-of-town shopping, compounded by the impact of on-line retailing has created enormous challenges for the traditional high street and especially for local, independent traders, as they battle with adapting to change but also maintaining their uniqueness and independence.
With recent scandals involving supermarkets and 'meat' providers this extremely sensitive situation can be avoided.
Unique Items:
Independent shops are the perfect place for a unique gift or item. Typically, a local trader will focus on local producers whether they be a local artist, designer, author or farmer - items that you will not see on the shelves of a national chain.

Much of the jewellery will combine silver with gemstones set off centre, or square with circles or unusual gemstones set together on one piece. Nicola also enjoys texturing metals, so many of the collections have texture themes. Reticulation and hammering especially. Most importantly Nicola loves metal and working with it every day is a shear pleasure. Recently nature has also played a part in the designs with the seedpod collection and the cowrie shell pieces. Commissions and bespoke jewellery are a large part of Nicola Hurst designer Jewellery. Engagement rings, wedding rings and remodelling for example. Nicola takes every commission as a personal joy to make, knowing that the customer will enjoy the jewellery for many years to come. The jewellery gallery has developed and flourished over the years. Nicola Hurst has become abrand and is well known in Devon and Cornwall. Nicola has also become well known for her jewellery making classes, run in the workshop, including the ‘make your own wedding rings workshops’. These are now booked several months in advance. Nicola Hurst has also presented a jewellery prize at Plymouth Art College for several years, offering an exhibition and mentoring to the winner.

Victoria Sewart Contemporary Jewellery Gallery was established in 2006 – The first of its kind in Plymouth. As a successful jewellery designer for over 20 years, opening a gallery was the next logical step for gallery owner, Victoria Sewart. “I have always wanted to run my own gallery. It is a fantastic opportunity to bring the very best of contemporary jewellery design to a wider audience,” says Victoria. Victoria trained as a jeweller and designer at The School of Jewellery in Birmingham in 1991. She started her jewellery business based in the South West soon after. Having completed her Masters degree in 2005, Victoria’s work changed direction and she began to make more sculptural fine art pieces. This gave her the impetus to establish a gallery to showcase her own work and that of her contemporaries. The gallery has grown in reputation with customers re-visiting from all over the UK and the world – it was with this in mind that we decided to create this online gallery so that those who cannot visit the gallery can still purchase unique, inspiring and high quality contemporary, designer jewellery.

PM's promises £10bn Help to Buy boost The Prime Minister, Theresa May, will inject an extra £10bn into the current Help to Buy scheme to let another 135,000 people get on the property ladder. The extra money will help potential buyers get a mortgage with a deposit of as little as 5% to buy newly built homes. Although the details of the plan will not be made public until the Budget on 22 November, it has been suggested that this new cash boost is part of a Conservative push to win back younger voters, whom favoured the policies of Labour's Jeremy Corbyn in the general election on June 8th.
What is Help to Buy?
The first phase of Help to Buy started in April 2013 in England and offered a 20% equity loan from the government to buyers of newly built properties worth up to £600,000. Therefore, if you were looking to buy a home worth £ 250,000, the potential buyers would need to place a deposit of £ 12,500 down with a top-up loan from the government of £ 50,000. When the property is sold, the government reclaims its loan and will make a profit if the property's value has risen.
According to the Local Government Association, just 20% of those aged 25 own a property, compared with 46% two decades ago. 88 woinplymouth
The Help to Buy cash can only be used for the purchase of newly built homes. In November 2015 George Osborne, then Chancellor, said the equity loan scheme in England would be extended to 2021 rather than end in December 2016.
Vote Winner?
In recent years, home ownership has fallen by 8% (62.9% in 2015-16), having been 70.9% in 2003. According to the Local Government Association, just 20% of those aged 25 own a property, compared with 46% two decades ago, and almost half of those aged 24 to 34 in England pay rent to a private landlord. The Home Builders Federation has stated that the Help to Buy scheme has helped more than 200,000 people buy a newly-built home in the past four years, which accounts for one in 12 of all first-time buyers. The Federation also states that the scheme has also helped the industry to keep investing in new sites "at a time when activity in the market generally remains stubbornly slow". Not everyone is happy with the new cash injection, Polly Neate, chief executive of Shelter, says Help to Buy had increased house prices and "propped up a speculative development model in need of reform".
Calm down, it’s only a rate rise banks that do not raise their savings rates by the same amount as the Bank of England rate rise. Been there, seen it before. I have a wardrobe full of T-shirts. As a man who started home ownership in the early 1980’s with interest rates at 15%, I’d simply say “this ain’t nothing”.
by Dick Jenkins Former Chairman of the BSA The rebirth of the council house
1978 was the last time we built 250,000 homes in a year. At that time, 44% of those new homes were built by the council. Today, the number is 1%. During the ill-fated Conservative Party Conference, Theresa May aimed to address the affordability crisis of new homes coupled with the lack of home ownership among the young, by promising an extra £2bn a year to councils and housing associations to build affordable homes. Over the past 10 years, home ownership among the young has dropped by a third, however, the PM has promised that this cash boost will create “a new generation of council houses”. The money will help create a further 5,000 affordable homes a year, albeit this is some way short of the number required to plug the shortfall. As with the new Help To Buy cash boost, this announcement has not gone without its critcs, although many have welcomed the reversal of George Osborne’s 2010 decision to stop funding council housing from the affordable homes subsidy programme. David Orr, chief executive at the National Housing Federation was quoted as saying: “The additional £2bn will make a real difference to those let down by a broken housing market,”
Interest rates are on the way up; or so it would seem at the moment. Good news for savers and bad news for borrowers, you might think. But if the Bank of England does stick up rates once or even twice in the next few months, we’d still be miles away from what we banking folk might term “a normal interest rate environment”. I am predicting a rise in Bank Base Rates up from 0.25% to 0.5% shortly (but don’t read too much into that; I was convinced that Hillary Clinton was a shoo-in!) and if that happens I suspect the Bank of England will see that as a “correction” for the drop they announced last August to counter their expectation of the economy dipping following the Brexit vote. On the basis that hasn’t really happened to the degree they expected, I think they’ll pop rates back up by that 0.25% to take them back up to the level they have been getting on now for ten long years! I’m not the only one with that hunch; the Governor of the Bank of England said he saw that rise coming shortly and on the back of that statement the money markets are all predicting it too. In fact the price of a new mortgage has already gone up a shade in anticipation. The papers will of course make a massive thing out of it. “The first rate rise in over ten years”, “Bank reversing its long term policy”, “The end of cheap home loans”. I can see the headlines now; sensationalists will talk about a doubling of interest rates. And there will be the lambasting of
For starters, a lot of home owners are on fixed rates so what will happen to their mortgage payments following a Bank Base Rate Rise? Nothing. Zilch. Nada. For starters, a lot of home owners are on fixed rates so what will happen to their mortgage payments following a Bank Base Rate Rise? Nothing. Zilch. Nada. For those with mortgages on discount or variable rate there will be an increase, but the vast majority of those borrowers have been subject to “stress tests” on their affordability following the introduction of more stringent lending regimes in early 2014, and they have been granted the mortgage, generally, on the basis that they could meet the payments of their mortgage payments if base rates went up by 3 whole percentage points, where the interest they are paying on their mortgage leapt from say from 3.5% to 6.5%. Many others will have taken out their mortgages when they were earning a bit less than they are today. Despite what I expect to read in the tabloids, I do not predict a meltdown for homeowners. The point of raising interest rates would be to address inflation which has risen quite sharply in the UK (and indeed across the rest of the developed world) in the last year and a half. Some of that is a Brexit effect where, because of the fall in the value of the pound; relative to other currencies, imported goods are more expensive. But I don’t think the Bank of England are that alarmed by this, but I think they’ll be equally worried about choking off the economy if they move too far or too fast on putting rates up. So let’s not rise to the sensationalist bait. Time to Keep Calm and Carry On!

Although it is now out of season it is easy to imagine the sound of cricket being played and cricket teas being enjoyed in the recently completed clubhouse.
The two historic buildings on the site have played a prominent role in Plymouth’s history. Originally built as the residence for the Governor of Plymouth, Admiralty House was a key building for the military and since 1934 it was the home to the Admiral of the Port. Mount Wise House played its part as the home to senior ranking officers. These buildings are framed by the beautiful Georgian inspired homes and the mature landscaped setting. As your journey through the estate continues, Leeward House rises tall, providing a sympathetic contrast to the elegance of the Georgian architecture of the surrounding mews style streets. A new era of urban living has arrived in Plymouth!
