6 May 2017 observig thefast Ramada is a special moth i the Islamic caledar whe practisig Muslims show their respect for the time i which Allah revealed his teachigs to the Prophet Mohammad. It is, however, a time for everyoe to show respect ad restrait ad thik of others. 10 The Holy Moth of Ramada is the Islamic world s opportuity to show reverece to Allah ad focus o beig the best idividual oe ca be. To resist givig i to huger, thirst, frustratio, aoyace ad all the thigs that usually put us to the test. The aual fast of Ramada is cosidered oe of the five pillars of Islam. Fastig each day of the etire moth, from surise to suset, the eveigs are the spet readig from the Qu ra ad egagig i prayer ad spiritual reflectio. Muslims also ejoy family ad commuity meals after suset. Muslims all over the world observe this 1,400-year-old practice, from the deserts of the Arabia Peisula, where it origiated, all the way to Scadiavia, where the latitude has forced some scholars to issue fatwas to accommodate the Qu ra s prescriptio to fast from daw util dusk. Livig i a coutry where may of the temptatios are take away is still o reaso to assume it is ot difficult to observe the fastig period, especially whe Ramada occurs over some of the hottest moths of the year - ad we ca all go some way towards showig our respect ad solidarity for the followers of Islam. THE BASICS The exact day for the start of Ramada is always up i the air, as it depeds o exact moo sightigs. The holy moth rus accordig to the luar Islamic caledar, ad begis upo the first glimpses of the crescet moo. That said, we ca roughly calculate that Saturday May 27 should be the first day of the Holy Moth. Sui Muslims traditioally use a telescope to spot the light creepig across the moo, while Shia Muslims traditioally look with the aked eye. This explais why Ramada starts slightly later i Shia-majority coutries, such as Ira, tha i Sui-majority coutries, like Jorda. FASTING This ivolves abstiece from eatig, drikig water, ad smokig betwee the local surise ad suset times - ad tryig to abstai from sesual pleasures throughout the etire moth. Maifestatios of a sort of spiritual fast, i which Muslims do ot lose their temper, become agry or try to pursue their ow selfish iterests are of importace too. As they should be for everyoe all year roud if we re hoest. So what ca you do to show your respect? Try to be sesitive to the possible effects of abstiece o Muslim frieds. Some people fid that cotrollig ager ad laguage to be much more challegig while fastig tha aythig else. So try to be a little more patiet whe tempers might be shorter ad harder to cotrol for frieds or colleagues. We all kow that uder everyday circumstaces, gettig craky whe you are hugry is just a fact of life for may - imagie fastig for the etire day... so dealig with fastig idividuals should be approached with a bit more patiece, avoidig gettig ito argumets or pushig the metal boudaries. Remember that Ramada is t just about avoidig eatig ad drikig. From daw to dusk durig Ramada, time is focused o purifyig the soul, refocusig attetio o God, ad practicig self-sacrifice. The term for fastig (sawm) literally meas to refrai ad it applies to a broad spectrum of behaviours ad bad habits to thoughts, feeligs, ad actios. As examples, oe should refrai from gossip ad ukid speech, lookig at ulawful (obscee) thigs, takig thigs that belog to others, ad tellig lies. Essetially, every part of the body ad soul observes the fast. By refocusig the self o the worship of God, oe cleases the body ad the spirit. 11

7 May 2017 Eid-al-Fitr is also kow as Sweet Eid because of the amout ad variety of sweet dishes cosumed o this occasio celebratig the happy ed of Ramada (which brigs the mercy of Allah). Eid al-fitr festival of breakig of the fast ) is a importat religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide that marks the ed of Ramada, the Islamic holy moth of fastig (sawm). The religious Eid is the first ad oly day i the moth of Shawwal durig which Muslims are ot permitted to fast. The holiday celebrates the coclusio of the 29 or 30 days of daw-to-suset fastig durig the etire moth of Ramada. The day of Eid, therefore, falls o the first day of the moth of Shawwal. The date for the start of ay luar Hijri moth varies based o the observatio of ew moo by local religious authorities, so the exact day of celebratio varies by locality. Eid al-fitr goes by various alterative terms i Eglish, icludig: Fastbreakig Eid, Sweet Festival, Ramada feast, Feast of Fastig, Small Eid, Eid feast, Eid al-saghir, Sugar Feast, Eid of happiess Idia, Pakista, Ira, Idoesia, Malaysia, Bruei ad Bagladesh have traditioal dishes to celebrate Eid. The breakfast of Eid-al-Fitr are sweet dishes, icludig Sheer Khurma, a dish made by cookig saviyaa (a local form of log pasta) with dates. The pasta ad dates, cooked separately i milk, are also cosumed as breakfast before offerig Eid Prayer. Depedig o the locality, the types ad forms of the cuisie vary but are always sweet dishes. I South Asia, cham cham, Barfi, Gulab Jamu (a ball shaped milk based dessert immersed i a sugar syrup), ad differet forms of cakes as well as ras malai (a local dish prepared with milk) are popular. These are ot oly cosumed iside houses but also preseted to relatives ad frieds whe visitig them o Eid-al-Fitr. Baklava ad other types of pastry type sweets are eate i Turkey. Ketupat (a rice dumpig wrapped i bamboo leaves is commoly served durig Eid i Idoesia. Eid al-fitr has a particular Salat (Islamic prayer) cosistig of two Rakats (uits) ad geerally offered i a ope field or large hall. It may be performed oly i cogregatio (Jama at) ad has a additioal extra six Takbirs (raisig of the hads to the ears while sayig All hu Akbar, literally God is great ), three of them i the begiig of the first raka ah ad three of them just before Ruku i the secod raka ah i the Haafi school of Sui Islam.[3] Other Sui schools usually have twelve Takbirs, seve i the first, ad five at the begiig of the secod raka ah. This Eid al-fitr salat is, depedig o which juristic opiio is followed, Fard (obligatory), Mustahabb (strogly recommeded, just short of obligatory) or madoob (preferable). Muslims believe that they are commaded by God, as metioed i the Qura, to cotiue their fast util the last day of Ramada[4] ad pay the Zakat ad fitra before offerig the Eid prayers

10 May 2017 recipe corer recipe corer Eggs Beedict with Salmo Fish ad Chips Rich, creamy Eggs Beedict has to be a Eglish classic ad for good reaso. Breakfast does t get ay better or more utritious tha combiig eggs ad smoked salmo. Add a small dollop of dill holladaise ad tuck i. You really caot get ay more typically Eglish tha Fish ad Chips wrapped i ewspaper, but home made oes taste just as good - here s how to make them at home. Igrediets: 225g self-raisig flour, 4x175g thick cod or haddock fillets, salt ad freshly groud black pepper, 300ml/10fl oz fridge-cold sparklig water or club soda. Beef drippig for deep fryig (it gives a far better flavour, but suflower or vegetable oil will work just as well). 6-8 large floury potatoes, such as Maris Piper, Kig Edward or Desiree varieties. Igrediets: 1 tablespoo chopped fresh dill frods, 4 Eglish muffis, 8 slices smoked salmo, 4 eggs, sliced sprig oios, to garish. Holladaise: 1 egg yolk, 1 tsp water, 1 tsp lemo juice, salt, 8 Tbsp butter, Pich cayee pepper. 18 Method: Perfect poachig: A really fresh egg is the key. Fresh eggs have tighter whites ad yolks that help them retai their shape better as they cook. Ad with this method it is essetial. Usig a sieve/ straier, crack the egg ad getly swizzle to remove the watery white substace leavig oly the thick white ad yolk. Lower ad getly shake the egg ito the getly simmerig water. 31/2 to 4 miutes ad you should have the perfect poached egg. Holladaise: Combie egg yolk, water, lemo juice, a pich of salt i the bottom of a cup that barely fits immersio bleder head. Melt butter over high heat, swirlig costatly, util foamig subsides. Trasfer butter to a 1 cup liquid measurig cup. Start to bled ad slowly pour i hot butter. Cotiue util all butter is added ad sauce is thick ad creamy. Seaso to taste with salt ad cayee ad combie with dill. Trasfer to a small lidded pot ad keep i a warm place for up to 1 hour before servig. Toast Eglish muffis ad top each with 2 slices smoked salmo, the a poached egg. Spoo dill holladaise over each egg, garish with extra dill ad sliced scallios. FRESH EGGS You ca tell how fresh a egg is by puttig it ito water. A really fresh egg will sik ad lie flat o its back. Eggs are ofte still good to eat log after the date o the packagig says to throw them out. The reaso this method works is because the eggshells are porous, which meas they allow some air to get through. Fresh eggs have less air i them, so they sik to the bottom. But older eggs have had more time for the air to peetrate the shells, so they re more buoyat ad will float. Method: To make the batter, sift the flour ad a pich of salt ito a large bowl ad whisk i the carboated water to give a thick batter, addig a little extra if it seems over-thick. Cosistecy should be that of very thick double cream ad should coat the back of a woode spoo. Put to oe side. Preheat the drippig or oil to 120 C. Peel potatoes ad cut ito desired size. Rise well i cold water, drai ad pat dry with a clea tea towel. Fry chips getly for about 8-10 mis, util they are soft but still pale. Pierce with a small kife to test for doeess. Remove from oil ad leave to oe side o greaseproof paper. Whack up the heat of the fryer to 180 C. Seaso fish ad dip ito the batter bowl, thickly coatig each of the fillets completely. Carefully lay the battered fillet ito the hot oil away from you, ad cook for 8-10 mis util golde ad crispy. Remove ad drai. Oce the fish is cooked, retur the chips oce agai to the fryer ad cook for 2-3 mis or util golde ad crispy. Shake off ay excess fat ad seaso with salt before servig with the crispy fish. Serve with white bread ad butter ad a splodge of mushy peas for a truly authetic chip shop experiece. COD Usually available fresh or froze i fillets or lois but ca be bought whole or i steaks too. As with all fish, it is importat to choose the most sustaiable ad freshest fish. Fresh cod should be firm to the touch ad free of a upleasat fishy smell. If lookig at the whole fish, the eyes should be clear ad bright ad the gills should be bright red. Whe choosig cod fillets, it is harder to tell how fresh the fish is look for ublemished white flesh that is firm to the touch. 19

12 May 2017 YORKSHIRE PUDDING Yorkshire puddig is a Eglish food made from batter cosistig of eggs, flour, ad milk or water. It is ofte served with beef ad gravy ad is part of the traditioal Suday roast. The story goes, that whe wheat flour bega to come ito commo use for makig cakes ad puddigs, cooks i the orth of Eglad devised a meas of makig use of the fat that dropped ito the drippig pa to cook a batter puddig while the meat roasted. Durig 1737, a recipe for a drippig puddig (later amed The Yorkshire Puddig ) was published i the book The Whole Duty of a Woma. Origially the Yorkshire puddig was served as a first course with thick gravy to dull the appetite with the low-cost igrediets so that the diers would ot eat so much of the more expesive meat i the ext course. Because the rich gravy from the roast meat drippigs was used up with the first course, the mai meat ad vegetable course was ofte served with a parsley or white sauce. I poorer households, the puddig was ofte served as the oly course. Usig drippig ad blood, a simple meal was made with flour, eggs ad milk. This was traditioally eate with a gravy or sauce, to moiste the puddig. Apparetly, the ability to make good Yorkies is i the blood ad istict of people bor ad raised i Yorkshire. I 1737, The Whole Duty of a Woma was a guide for the fairer sex with rules, directios, ad observatios for a lady s coduct ad behaviour. The topic of a lady s love life was a major part of the publicatio, with tips for married, sigle, ad eve divorced wome. Not sure how this would go dow today. The book was of course, a huge success. The importat thig for us i this story though is that all importat recipe for drippig puddig. A fairly simple istructio was give make a good batter as for pacakes, put i a hot toss-pa over the fire, add a bit of butter to fry the bottom a little, the put the pa istead of a drippig pa ad uder a shoulder of mutto, shake it frequetly ad it will be light ad savoury. Whe the mutto is doe, tur it i a dish ad serve hot. I 1747, Haah Glasse shook up the recipe with her ow versio i The Art of Cookery Made Plai ad Simple. Glasse it seems was the origial Nigella! She re-iveted ad re-amed the drippig puddig, which had bee cooked i Eglad for ceturies although the puddigs were much flatter tha the airy, crispy versios kow today. The Royal Society of Chemistry got ivolved i 2008 whe it declared, with some seriousess, that A Yorkshire puddig is t a Yorkshire puddig if it is less tha four iches tall. This came about whe Ia Layess, a Eglishma livig i the Rockies experieced a series of Yorkshire puddig flops i the high coutry despite huge successes i the low coutry. It is o myth the rise is just ot the same at certai altitudes. That aside, Yorkshire Puddig is still a staple of the British Suday luch ad i some cases is eate as a separate course prior to the mai meat dish. If, after all of that, you are ready for dessert, do like we do i some areas of Yorkshire ad fill the puddig with jam, or as a puddig i the true sese, try jam ad ice cream. I poorer households, the puddig was ofte served as the oly course. Usig drippig ad blood, a simple meal was made with flour, eggs ad milk. THE FOOLPROOF PUD Allow us to just state, that however you make this batter, your ove is key to the puddig s overall success. It must be able to get hot eough to almost fry the batter as you first pour i the batter after heatig the oil - you should hear a sizzle. Also, oce i the ove, resist the temptatio to check how they re doig - just leave them to do their thig. INGREDIENTS: 2 large room temperature eggs VERY IMPORTANT. Puddigs will ot rise made with eggs straight from the fridge. 150g of good quality plai flour, 1/3 tsp salt, semi-skimmed milk, ad for later, a drop of water. METHOD: Put flour salt ad a pich of groud pepper ito bowl ad mix dry with a fork to get air ito mixture, make a well i the cetre ad break eggs ito it. Add eough milk to eable the mixture to come to a paste ad beat for at least 5 miutes. Add milk to the cosistecy of just above sigle cream, put i the fridge for at least 3 hours. Remove from the fridge at least 15 mis before you eed to use the batter. Mix with a fork rebeat thee batter for 3 miutes ad brig the mixture back to sigle cream cosistecy. Too thick a batter ad your puddigs will ot rise. You the eed a muffi/shallow bu tray that will make 12 puddigs. Add about 5mm of oil i each of the holes, ad place i the hot ove. Oil should be smokig (very importat) before addig the batter ito the ti. Fill each hole to 2/3 ad cook for 15 miutes without opeig the ove door.

19 May 2017 ick + scott s folly Discover the refreshed face of British cuisie at Madiat Jumeirah It seems like a age sice we used to relish a visit to Table 9 where helmsme Nick & Scott would take us o a artful culiary jourey through their amazig creatios, where simply preseted dishes belied the wizardry beeath ad ice little touches like a home made bag of Eglish sweets hadpicked from the sweet trolley would be offered to take home at the ed of the meal. Squealig with delight as we dipped our greedy little hads ito the paper bag - yummy Lemo Sherbets, Strawberry Bo Bos ad Marshmallows. The they said their farewells ad we were left bereft, ad despite the may ew restaurat opeigs all over the place, for us, othig quite filled the void. Five years later with lots of hard work i betwee they are back with a bag - baggig a stuig locatio ito the bargai. Set aloft at Souk Madiat Jumeirah, Folly ejoys a spectacular vista across two levels with a view to die for. The earthy brickwalled, dark upholstered iterior is just missig the hearth ad cracklig fire to complete the warm ad ivitig atmosphere. However the overall layout icludes a couple of terraces to take advatage of the weather ad of course the views. The pricig is refreshigly straightforward too, ad very similar i style to Table 9. There are eight dishes that cost AED 45 each, eight more dishes that cost AED 70 ad eight mais costig AED 110. All the puds are AED 45 ad you would be advised to leave room. The chefs say, The dishes are desiged to be a little smaller tha average, so you ca sample more ad create your ow tastig meu. Each dish oly icludes a maximum of four igrediets. That s the matra we ve stuck to, so hopefully people will come ad ejoy three of four dishes ad feel like it s good value for moey ad they also get to try ew flavour combiatios, that we d like to thik you ca fid owhere else i Dubai You ca certaily expect some differet flavours. The meu icludes veal togue with capers ad Parmesa, mokfish cheeks with paprika ad salted lemo, a delicious medley of radish with a Asia slat (ad I do t eve like radish!), marjoram ad lime gremolata sit alogside Lamb saddle, whipped pie uts ad salsa, ad stoe bass with Asia grees ad mussel tempura is just dam good. Obsessed by quality produce ad igrediets, as they have always bee, Nick & Scott execute sublimely uique dishes with techical skill ad fiesse. If you are lookig for somethig a little bit differet that will push you out of your culiary comfort zoe, Folly is a sure bet to surprise ad delight

20 May 2017 I do like to be beside the seaside words ad pictures Louise Adamso There so much to ejoy about the Eglish seaside ad surroudig areas cockles ad mussels, ice-creams, fish ad chips ad all the fu of the fair. Joi us o a tour of some of the south of Eglad s popular seaside tows

21 Lymigto is amass with sailboats, their masts ad ropes clagig away i the summer breezes Crabbig - oh the joy of pullig up a wrigglig, sappig crustacea from the deep! 40 From cheeky seaside postcards ad brightly paited beach huts, to widbreaks creatig multi-coloured blakets over the pa flat sads. The sharp stig of viegar risig from hot fish ad chips waftig up from their greasy paper wrappig as you breathe i the salty sea air o the frot. The Eglish seaside probably holds a special place i may people s hearts. It s where childhood memories were made, the pleasure of lickig a 99 - most of it drippig dow your arm or god forbid, your ew holiday outfit. Crabbig from the pier with the patiece that escapes most of us today. Lookig dow expectatly for what seemed like hours ito the gloomy water below. Fially a bite, ad up it comes out of the iky black water, a sappig crab o the ed of your lie, popped i a bucket ad the set free whe it was time to retur home. It s a fact, Eglish seaside resorts deliver a veritable treat to our seses. It s impossible to resist the pure pleasure of the music ad bright lights, the cheesy souveir shops ad the smell of freshly fried doughuts driftig from somewhere alog the pier. Still today, the seaside is brimmig with holidaymakers - grow-ups eager to relive their childhood days, the kids creatig memories to look back o i years to come. Ad so the cycle begis agai. Of course, there are seaside resorts with their ow quait quirks ad attractios all over Eglad. I this issue we explore the south west coast - a stuig part of the coutry with so much to offer. LYME REGIS We begi our trip i Lyme Regis, aka the Pearl of Dorset. Lyme (as they like to refer to it i these ere parts), is a historic seaside resort ad small fishig port estled o the border of Dorset ad Devo. It is so full of character ad a lovely romatic charm. Rather famous for its breathtakig sceery, uique geology kow as the Jurassic coast, fossil hutig here is a real pastime. There s eve a fossil festival! Its historic Cobb ad harbour are icoic features, set agaist moody imposig cliffs yieldig fossilised evidece of life o earth millios of years ago are defiitely ot to be missed. A aciet tow featured i the Domesday Book, Lyme Regis is home to a umber of historical ladmarks ad educatioal attractios. The picturesque ad traquil Lyme Regis is a great place to discover a lot you did t kow about the UK s heritage. 41

22 Whatever your age ad whatever the time of year, it s as the tourism board claim - a tow for all seasos. It has it all - the perfect family resort, the home of palaeotology, a world-class creative ad cultural commuity, a bustlig harbour, gastroomic delights, a array of shops, a caledar full of evets, ad plety for the active. POOLE Next stop is Poole i Dorset - its harbour the secod largest atural i the world (Sydey, Australia beig the largest). Poole s traditioal workig quay is the gateway to its stuig harbour ad islads. A great place to sit back ad relax i oe of the may cafés ad bars o the waterside, watchig ships, fishig boats ad luxury Suseeker yachts leave the harbour. Whe visitig Poole Quay, a stop at Poole Pottery shop is a must. See artists creatig ew desigs at Poole Pottery s studio or pait-a-pot ad create your ow masterpiece. The famous Corish Pasty ca be foud almost everywhere. Fish ad chips o the sea frot eate from the paper. A typical seaside traditioal - Kedgeree. Fresh brow crab just i from Port Isaac. From Poole Quay, you ca voyage across the water for a harbour cruise or stop off at Natioal Trust s Browsea Islad. Home of the scoutig movemet, the islad offers advetures at every tur ad is rich i history ad wildlife, icludig the rare red squirrel. The Poole Cockle Trail, which was opeed i 1998 to celebrate the 750th aiversary of Poole s first charter, traces the tow s heritage. You ca if you so feel iclied dowload a free copy of the Poole Cockle Trail to follow the umbered cockle sigs set ito the groud, which lik with the umbers i the text. 42 Suset over Poole Harbour must ot be missed, which is uequalled aywhere else i the world - sit back with a hoppy beverage ad relax. Right o the harbour boudary you will fid Purbeck - a rural district home to some of the coutry s most well-loved tows ad ladmarks icludig Swaage, Lulworth Cove, Corfe Castle ad Durdle Door. The Isle of Purbeck is part of the district, beig a peisula coected by road rather tha a separate islad. If you wat to escape the masses, the head ilad to explore forests, heathlads, ad dowlads - you ca eve take a steam trai puffig away merrily across the beautifully gree ladscapes. There are may ature reserves ad gree spaces i the area with their ow uique wildlife, aciet trees or colourful wildflowers. Take a relaxig walk or bike ride to discover sceic views ad fid peace ad traquillity. You might eve fid a traditioal village fete, complete with dokey derby ad a tombola! BOURNEMOUTH Bouremouth is a relic of the Victoria beach break - worth a metio but oly worth a visit if you absolutely caot do without 43

23 March 2017 Issue 40 May 2017 Purbeck ad the New Forest ad all the woders of ature are right o your doorstep Scoes ad clotted cream for tea is a must-do o your culiary jourey i this part of Eglad your high street shops ad a right old ijectio of cheese. True, it features super wide stretches of golde sad, with fish ad chips available o the seafrot ad the obligatory arcade o the pier. A brad-ew, chic Hilto is a accommodatio game-chager a welcome break from the tow s may resorts left to fester sice the 1960s ad the earby area of Boscombe has a refreshig carefree vibe with great beachfrot cafés ad a surf school. PORT ISAAC Port Isaac has bee a attractive fishig village sice the early fourteeth cetury. Its arrow, widig streets are lied with old white-washed cottages ad traditioal graite, slate-froted Corish houses, may of which are listed as of architectural or historic importace. From the Middle Ages util the middle of the 19th cetury, Port Isaac was a busy port hadlig various imports ad exports, icludig coal, timber, pottery ad Delabole slate. I fact the ame Port Isaac is derived from the Corish Porth Izzick meaig the cor port. After the advet of the railways, it became pricipally a fishig port. A stream rus through the village, fidig its way ito the sea over the harbour wall. Park your car at the top of the hill ad take a getle stroll dow ito the blik-ad-you-miss-it village, as the arrow streets ca be difficult to egotiate. There is a stuig view of the coast from this car park, i additio to easy access to both Port Isaac ad Port Gavere. Port Isaac is apparetly famous for havig oe of the arrowest thoroughfares i Britai, the aptly amed Squeezy Belly Alley! Fishig ad sceic trips ca be take from the harbour durig the summer moths. Both Port Isaac ad earby Port Gavere are withi what is both a Area of Outstadig Natural Beauty ad a Heritage Coast Area. Cosequetly, there are lots of lovely walks alog the coast ad ilad. Port Gavere is a pretty uspoilt cove aroud the corer from Port Isaac. There is a sheltered, sady beach, with rock pools, probably oe of the safest i North Corwall for youg childre. I the 19th cetury the hamlet was a slate, coal, limestoe hadlig port. Shipbuildig also took place here. Some old buildigs o the quay, which was oce used to export slate from the earby Delabole Slate Quarries, have all bee coverted ito holiday accommodatio. There is a 17th cetury i i the cove offerig food ad accommodatio

24 May 2017 May 2017 You ve just got to love the Eglish summer. Suy ad too hot oe day, widy, wet ad cold the ext! 46 Port Qui, a few miles to the west, is largely owed by The Natioal Trust. After a storm took most of its me folk, the village was deserted. There is a iterestig walk from Port Isaac to Port Qui. From the harbour, climb up Roscarrock Hill ad take the route to Pie Have. There are some spectacular (whatever the weather) views alog the route ad, close to Port Qui, is Doyde Castle. Over recet years Port Isaac has become a popular locatio for both films ad televisio series. The village is possibly best kow as the fictioal Portwe from the ITV televisio series Doc Marti starrig Marti Clues. Iterestigly eough, Port We is the old ame of earby Port Qui. The 2000 comedy thriller Savig Grace was also filmed i here as was Swept from the Sea i More recetly scees from Corish author Rosamude Pilcher s The Shell Seekers featurig Vaessa Redgrave were filmed o Fore Street. The village s popularity as a filmig locatio dates back further tha this though with much of the televisio series of Poldark beig filmed here i the 1970s. Although Port Isaac has oly a shigle beach, there are other attractive sady beaches withi a short distace. Four miles away is Polzeath, the area s best surfig beach, ad also Daymer Bay, a beach welcomig both families ad pets. PADSTOW Ofte ickamed Padstei for its associatio with celebrity chef Rick Stei, Padstow is North Corwall s pricipal fishig tow accessed from Rock via a short ferry ride. The Black Tor, rus betwee Padstow ad Rock, operatig cotiuously throughout the day at 20 miute itervals. Oce i Padstow, you will reportedly have the opportuity to sample some of the coutry s best seafood restaurats (four of which are owed by Stei). Weekeds ad high seaso ca be a bit of a bu fight i this diky little harbour ad alog the arrow alleyways, so uless you do t mid crowds, go early - ad most defiitely book a table if you wat to eat. It s all about simple pleasures whe you are the seaside ad it does t have to break the bak either. A packed luch ad a ice-cream treat behid a widbreak is just as special as eatig at the faciest restaurat o the frot. You all get the same view! A ride through the forest is liberatig, a walk alog the stuig coastlie is bracig ad costs absolutely othig. There are still may uderstated beauties o this southwest coast - solitude if you crave it, coveiece if you ca t live without it. Make or rekidle some memories this summer ad visit the Eglish seaside. 47
