Welcome to the Autumn 2018 issue of Tees Life –
Teesside’s lifestyle magazine.
D
on’t mention the F-word. No,
this isn’t my attempt to clean up
the language of our readers. It’s a
reference to the views of our cover feature
star Steve Cochrane, the man behind iconic
Teesside clothing store, Psyche.
Apparently Steve doesn’t like to refer to
another F-word many would most associate
him with – fashion. But, as you’ll see from
our cover headline, we’ve already failed
him! The truth is that this issue of Tees Life
is flipping full of F-words. It’s hard to avoid
them.
Steve explains why he’s not a fan of
fashion – or, at least, the word – in a
fascinating four-page feature (see what we
mean?) starting on page 10.
Our lifestyle feature with Teessider Diane
Youdale – once a big name on Saturday TV
under the guise of Jet in The Gladiators – is
full of another great F-word…fun.
And we’re also full of food too – from
HOUSE ABOUT THIS?
Lyndsey McGeary’s review of The Curing
House to a chef ’s recipe feature from the
King’s Arms in Great Stainton, and from
Norton’s Café Lilli being named in The
Good Food Guide to Acklam Hall tickling
out tastebuds for the festive season.
And there’s yet another F-word. The
festive season will soon be upon us, so
Norton-based Amanda Bell – makeup artist
to the stars – provides her glamour tips for
the Christmas party season, while our new
columnist Sophia Gowland guides the girls
on what to wear – but, like Steve, prefers
the phrase style more than female fashion.
To finish with this F-ing foreword,
don’t miss our always funny writer Harry
Pearson’s Big Tees column, as he recalls
some of the fastest growing sports of years
gone by. Fantastic. There’s only one F in
Tees Life!
