They dress up practicality in a luxurious way, rather like my jewellery, Hero? Florence Nightingale. I can’t imagine anything more traumatic than being a nurse in the 19th century. I think that the courage and determination she demonstrated is extremely inspirational. Weekend? In the countryside. There’s nothing I love more than long rambling walks in the fresh air (with no rain please), reading a good book with a cup of tea to help me unwind. Meal? My Mother is French and was brought up on a farm, so obviously I was brought up on offal because nothing ever goes to waste on a farm. I love offal but I also love rabbit in mustard. Shop? Nothing can beat Fortnum & Mason. The long history of the shop and its wonderful location makes it such a treat to visit. The fact that it hasn’t changed much at all since I was a child goes to show how much of a timeless British destination it is. Undiscovered gem? John Sandoe, the book shop just off the Kings Road, is one. It has been there since 1957 (when I was 3 years old) and my father used to go there all the time to buy his books. Band? Dire Straits has the edge because of Sultans of Swing. Mark Knopfler on the guitar is incredible. Car? A Mini. They’re iconic and ideal to have in a city for zipping around. Mine is in British racing green and I absolutely love it! Book? I love all books by Daphne du Maurier, but a particular favourite of mine is Frenchman's Creek. It's a period drama with the perfect combination of freedom, independence and passion.

Whether it's walking to work, a weekend stroll to a cosy pub or evening dog walk - the choice is yours! It's scientifically proven that just 20 minutes of walking a day can help to reduce the risk of disease and improve your mental wellbeing. Plus, by choosing to leave the car at home, you can reduce your carbon footprint and help us reduce air pollution in the Downs.   Find a walk in the Downs     Goats in the Darent Valley The herd of Cheviot feral goats at Preston Hill welcomed two new kids in April, taking the herd up to 14 individuals. The goats prefer to munch on scrubland plants, so are perfect for maintaining the chalkland habitat. Being feral, and not a domestic breed, they do behave like wild animals and so will try to avoid humans.   Learn more about Preston Hill     Places to visit in the Kent Downs Looking for inspiration for your next adventure in the Downs?

CELEBRATING 25 YEARS OF BREWING       OSSETT BREWING COMPANY MARKS SILVER MILESTONE BIRTHDAY WITH ANNIVERSARY ALES READ MORE BELOW       A leading independent Yorkshire brewery is toasting 25 successful years with a series of innovative special cask ales as sales continue to grow despite market challenges. Brewer of nationally renowned brands such as Yorkshire Blonde, White Rat, Silver King and Excelsius. The progressive Ossett Brewing Co began life in 1998 on a five-barrel-brew-length kit behind the Brewer’s Pride pub in Ossett, West Yorkshire. Within three years brewing capacity was 40 barrels a week. Winning many national and international awards, today’s modern brewery stands only a short distance from the original site in Low Mill Road producing an eclectic range of cask ale and lager. The company now produces 440 brewers-barrels a week serving a pub estate of 35 outlets, free trade customers and national customers all over the UK. The company has received various CAMRA, Publican and SIBA national awards over the years including supreme national champion with Excelsius. Silver King won its first national award in 2001 and two decades later in 2021 won another national gold medal. Launching the celebrations, the first of a creative four strong  Silver Series of anniversary ales rolls out the end of this month. A Premium Golden Ale, Dazzler (4.5% abv). First brewed in the Summer of 1998, Dazzler was one of the very first Ossett beers. Twenty five years later, this is an updated version of an old favourite, but with more hops. Lots more hops! Golden Promise malt creates a premium golden pale ale with bready and biscuity flavours. WGV (Whitbread Golding Variety) hops grown in Kent are added at three stages of the brewing process to produce the floral and herbal aromas characteristic of the best English ales.  The second roll out will be Easy Does It (3.4% abv) an easy drinking session summer bitter; clear pale straw in colour and full bodied with hints of peach, pineapple and passion fruit on the aroma and a balanced dry, citrus bitterness in taste delivered from new British Harlequin and American Citra hops. A third brew  for the autumn is,  Alter Ego (5.5% abv) exploring the NEIPA (New England India Pale Ale) style and proclaimed as a ‘souped up’ dry hopped mutation of Ossett’s highly popular White Rat (4% abv); hazy, straw-coloured, with the aroma of orange, peach and grapefruit from the Cascade, Amarillo and Columbus American hops which deliver a perfect bitter-sweet balance. A vanilla stout concludes the celebrations. Irish stout style, Jet (4.2% abv) is black with vanilla, chocolate and coffee notes on the aroma and a dry and bitter finish from roasted malts joined with the French Savinjski Golding hops and US Chinook. Distinctive pump clips for the series display red and silver lettering on a black background. Each month there are collaboration brews, featuring pioneering ales such as Rose Petal IPA, brewed jointly with Adnams using the new UK Mystic hop. Alongside is a Single Hop series of pale ales exploring hops from the UK, USA, New Zealand, France and Germany. The company was originally founded as a brewpub in 1998 by Bob Lawson former career brewer at Joshua Tetley in Leeds.  Son Jamie founded an independent pub group, Izakaya Pub Co. Ltd alongside the brewery in 2003 which later merged into the Ossett brewing group. Jamie has led the brewery since Bob became Chairman in 2005 with Paul Spencer taking over as Head Brewer at the same time. Paul is still in charge of Ossett's great beer line up after 22 years with the company. Jamie was also responsible for the founding of its craft beer sister company, SALT in 2018.   Ossett owner Jamie Lawson said: “These post pandemic times have been particularly challenging for the brewing and pub industry. However, the past two years have seen us enjoy steady growth and we are now delighted to be celebrating our milestone 25th year with our Silver Series. We believe in the future of cask ale and are determined to build on our deep roots to sustain Ossett for the future through broadening the appeal of cask with inventive and exciting brands - as seen with our Silver Series, Synergy Series, Collaboration Ales and our Single Hopped programme as well as the all-time favourites that sit within our core range.”           SPECIAL OFFER THIS BANK HOLIDAY WEEKEND 20% OFF YØN HELLES LAGER  - DISCOUNT INCLUDES 12x500ML CASES ONLY VALID IN-STORE & ONLINE UNTIL MIDNIGHT ON SUNDAY 30TH APRIL Use coupon code: YON20 at the checkout        SHOP NOW   Brewery Shop Opening Times Friday | 12pm - 4pm Saturday | 10am - 9pm   Copyright © 2023 Ossett Brewery, All rights reserved.
