News in Brief
Does Wimborne need another bridge? There has been much discussion about a possible bridge linking Waitrose to the town and the other shops. But so far no bridge has appeared - some business owners in Wimborne are very worried it will never happen and that will affect their future trade. A petition has been started in favour of the bridge and has strong support from traders. Waitrose says it shares the frustrations of angry traders campaigning for a footbridge between its store and the centre of Wimborne. “We are doing everything in our power to resolve the situation as quickly as possible and would ask the landlord to consider the impact that not having the bridge will have on the town,” a spokesman said. Freeholder Mr Shah, managing agent for Myan Investments Limited, declined to comment. East Dorset District Council chief executive David McIntosh said the council wanted to see the “important bridge for Wimborne” built “at the earliest opportunity” and would work hard to secure it – even considering compulsory purchase of the land. EDITORS COMMENT: The Bridge would be located at the only point that you can see the Minster from Waitrose - between the buildings - a beautifully designed bridge would send a welcoming message inviting visitors to cross over to the centre of our historic town and its Minster. Please send us you views…..

HELP SAVE ENGLAND’S ANCIENT FORESTS ! It doesn’t end here...
Wimborne Min Home Improvements 14 Your Garden 21 Photo Centre 24
Main Cover photo: Chris Slocock
Great news that the Government intends to abandon plans for the disposal of public forests! But we desperately need better protection of our ancient forests.
MODEL ...an am
Commenting on the decision, Sue Holden chief executive of the Trust said, “We welcome the opportunity for a more considered approach to the future of our much loved woodlands but our campaign continues. Whilst we welcome the removal of threats to public access, there is still an acute need for better protection of Ancient Woodland, our equivalent of the rainforests, and restoration of ancient woods planted with conifers. Even if there are no sales of publicly owned forests, the worst of all worlds would be for there to be no change to the loopholes that have allowed 850 ancient woods to be threatened by built development over the past decade. Ministers have made strong commitments over the past few weeks to increase protection for ancient woods, and we will be holding them to these commitments.” We need your support in improving existing ancient woodland protection: If you want to know more visit www.woodlandtrust.org.uk for more information as to how you can help. Thank you, Chris Slocock.

in association with
Unit 4, 13 Cobham Rd Ferndown Industrial Estate Wimborne Dorset BH21 7PE Tel: 01202 874207 Email: mail@sandandgravel.uk.com Such a vigorous, thrusting time of year in the garden!
It’s so exciting to see all the bulbs you had forgotten you’d put in last autumn pushing through and budding up. I went a bit mad with alliums last year and, to my astonishment, they all seem to be thriving: Allium ‘Globemaster’ – 90 cms tall with spherical purple flowers 20 cms wide; Allium giganteum, the tallest at 150 cms, and the very fashionable Allium ‘Purple Sensation’. But March is really the month for hellebores, so long-lasting in flower. So much work has been put into hellebore hybridisation over the last few decades that now the flowers may be frilled or freckled, single, double or anemone-centred, and the range of colour has been extended to yellow, pink, plum, slatey-black and pure white. Hellebores are hungry feeders and prefer rich, well-drained soil in dappled shade. They are prone to a fungal infection called leaf spot disease (there’s always something) - there isn’t really a cure, but regularly removing the foliage in the winter and mulching with leafmould, garden compost or well-rotted manure helps. But be warned, they are expensive and they are addictive! Barbara Gooch

If life is too chaotic get SORTED Space Ordered Reduced Tidy Economic De-cluttered To find out what SORTED can do for you, call for an informal chat and book a free 30 minute consultation Introductory price of £45.00 for 3 hour de-cluttering session 3 hours can make all the difference! Michelle Platen-Mills 07795822562 allsortednow@gmail.com
When your friend unexpectedly pops in for a coffee; how many times have you ended up saying ‘Please excuse the mess,’ with a look of embarrassment on your face? In the back of your mind you regret not sorting the mess out before. You can feel the guilt rising through your body as you clamber to hide the panties on the floor, the socks off the radiators, and scrape the food off the gas hob. All this because you didn’t have time to clean it last night, as you had a lot of other important things to do. Do you come home and instantly your heart drops because of the clutter? There are a million other things you could be doing other than the ‘housework’.This situation gets worse until you feel overwhelmed or even worse you pretend that its not even there.Your home should be a place where you feel comfortable and energised and this can easily be achieved, just by changing the way you think! Over the years I have been a cleaner in people’s houses, which has helped me to realise that there is a demand for a de-cluttering service. If you de-clutter for your cleaner then your cleaner will give you more value for money. You don’t have to be rich to de-clutter but your life will be richer if you de-clutter! Come on, get SORTED!

Photography
Manipulating Black and White Images
Altering images has been done since photography was invented. Until the digital age, however, this was done in the darkroom and required years of experience and much skill. The availability of computers with image manipulation software such as ‘Picasa’ (free) and ‘Photoshop’ (expensive) has given everyone the opportunity to alter photographs.
Photos on this page: Roger Allen

The painter starts with a blank canvas and chooses what to add, move or leave out, the photographer has a complete image and decides what to omit. The stark tree originally had sky detail and a fence with sheep wool attached. By increasing contrast, the sky became white and the tree a silhouette, the fence posts and wire were then removed. Converting an image to black and white, then back to colour allows for the image to be toned. Sepia toning gives a warm timeless mood, while blue is a cool mood and adding grain can introduce a gritty harsh effect. Exaggerating to extremes can create images far removed from the original. The before and after photos of a Portland Bill beach hut show the effect of massive contrast increase and darkening of the original. The blue/green abstract is the sea off Portland Bill photographed with a fisheye lens in black and white, converted to colour with the colours distorted. Hand colouring of black and white portraits used to be common practice as colour photos faded in light – one reason I supply a digital photo restoration service. The cover image this month was originally shot on grainy black and white film, scanned, several copy layers produced and each layer toned with a different colour. Parts of each layer were then removed to reveal the multi-toned final image. These techniques work with some images. Experimenting and experience can produce results that appeal to you. Have a go and have some fun. Roger Allen www.rogerallenphotos.com To advertise ring Mark or CJ at The Advertising Hub on 01202 882277

Food & Drink
ueberries B lPossibly the ultimate super food Some nutritionists believe that if you make only one change to your diet, it should be to add blueberries. Just 100g (4oz) of blueberries contain the same amount of age-defying antioxidants as five servings of other fruit and vegetables.Antioxidants help guard against a range of cancers, heart disease, asthma, arthritis and cataracts, Alzheimer’s and age-related neurological diseases. The local Dorset Blueberry Company, owned by the Trehane family is the UK’s most familiar name when it comes to blueberries. The family introduced the very first blueberry plants into the country in 1949 and have been harvesting them ever since, from an area now covering 30 acres. Trehane Nursery, Stapehill Road, Wimborne, Dorset, BH21 7ND. Tel 01202 873490 Visit www.dorset-blueberry.com for further details, including books by Jennifer Trehane.

32 K ings Court, High Street, Wimborne Tel: 01202 880932 Fax: 01202 848361 www.piccolomondoristorante.co.uk In a little courtyard off the high street resides a special Italian restaurant on the second floor. With its balcony and intriguing staircase, Piccolo Mondo has an authentic feel that has remained consistant throughout its near thirty year existance. A family run business starting in 1982, Piccolo Mondo cares for its customers and can cater for your dietary requirements. All food is locally sourced and made in their kitchen by the chef. We were served a dish that is special to Piccolo Mondo, one that is only on their ‘Specials’ menu; Bistecca Milanese (normally an evening dish, this recipe can be ordered at lunch if so desired). This delightful meal comprised of a shallow fried steak covered in bread crumbs, still succulent inside complimented with a crisp edge. Served with a refreshing salad and slice of lemon, the meal was not heavy as sometimes
Italian food, just like the mamma used to make! steak can be. All the flavours made for an exciting Sicilian taste! After feeling suitably full we were offered a plate of blood orange segments to cleanse the pallet between meals. Originally from Sicily the oranges made a surprising treat before our next course. For dessert we had warm home-made apple tart served with scoops of ice-cream and covered in toffee sauce and grated caramel biscotti. The grated biscotti was what really brought the dish to life for me, again providing a variety of texture within the dish. Overall the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, somewhere very relaxing which made the meal so enjoyable. The staff are helpful, and the cheery fire is just as friendly!

01202 870196 charliehaddon@actioncoach.com
I was at a presentation about creating “raving fan” customers recently. After mentioning that he is a raving fan of a rather unsuccessful football team, the speaker asked the audience, which of them wanted customers that identified with their business in the same way that raving fans dedicate themselves to their favourite sports teams? That question got me thinking about how a sports team with a long losing record can earn and keep their extremely loyal fans.
34
My conclusion is that, just like all businesses, the definition of the “product” of a sports team goes way beyond the obvious. In addition to the win/lose record, their product includes: • Their history • Their records ™ • Their players • Their managers and coaches Advice Service Support • Their fans • Their venue • Their customer service department (ticketing) Call Graham on (01202) 884642 • Their uniforms • The food available at their venue or email: g@gpmcs.co.uk • The overall atmosphere at their venue • And much, much more.

The point is - are you on top of the complete definition of your product? Here is a hint: the definition of your product includes a lot of intangibles that reflect what your customers (clients, patients, team, vendors, etc.) value about their experience with your business, not simply the physical product or service you deliver. If you don’t know what your customers value about your product, one way to find out is to ask them. Incidentally, whilst you’re talking to your customers, why not ask them to tell you one thing they really like about doing business with you, and one thing they feel you could improve on; you will often find they feel more comfortable telling you what they don’t like if they’re also able to praise something you do. Of course, it’s down to you what you do with that information !
You often hear in business that it’s ‘the early bird that catches the worm’. Well, if you’re someone that loves to crack on with your day and make new business deals before you’ve even had your second cup of coffee, then come along to the next BNI business breakfast at City Lodge Bridge House Hotel at Longham every Wednesday (at 6.30am) you’ll get to enjoy not only a delicious cooked breakfast, but an informal chat about how word-of-mouth marketing can do wonders for your business.
Take a deep look into your business, you might be surprised at what you see. Charlie Haddon ActionCOACH Business Coach To advertise ring Mark or CJ at The Advertising Hub on 01202 882277
Talking about wildlife
Heathlands wake up for spring
As many species start making an appearance after the winter, spring is a good time to enjoy nature walks on the heaths. Dorset heathlands are amongst the most important in the country, Dartford warbler. Photo: Colin Smith providing a unique habitat year round for many rare and threatened species of wildlife. With the longer days of spring, reptiles emerge to bask in the sun. All six British reptiles – sand lizard, common lizard, smooth snake, adder, grass snake and slow worm - can be found on the Dorset heaths. Smooth snake and sand lizard are rare heathland specialists, the rarest snake and lizard in Britain and relying on heaths for their survival. The best time to see the elusive sand lizard is in April, when the males turn a stunning green for a short period of time to attract a mate. Of all the British reptiles, only the adder is poisonous, but they are shy and will try to avoid you. Rare birds such as woodlarks and s are characteristic of heaths, and can be seen flitting amongst heather and gorse. Some will now be building their nests on or near the ground, so make sure to stay on designated paths in order to avoid disturbing them and that goes for your dog too. Nightjars arrive from Africa any time from April and are similarly vulnerable, another reason why dogs have by law to be under close control during the breeding season. Heathlands are of great environmental and historical value, but have become much reduced and fragmented in the last few decades. To help preserve this unique environment and its vulnerable wildlife, keep to the paths, clear up after your dog and keep him on a lead from February to August.

In our community Twiggy meets Twiggy
36
Twiggy (r) is a new assistance dog with local charity Woofability, set up by Jenny & Andy Clarke for people with disabilities. Staff and customers at the Marks & Spencer Bournemouth store raised funds to buy her and she was named after the iconic sixties model following a Name The Puppy competition. When Twiggy heard about ‘Puppy Twiggy’ she agreed to become a patron of the charity. “I am delighted to be able to support such a wonderful charity, Assistance dogs make such a difference to the lives of disabled people. I am also sponsoring Boggle, a gorgeous Golden Retriever puppy and look forward to the day when he Twiggy says hello to Boggle and Twiggy (r) is trained and ready to meet his new partner.” Photo: www.brianaris.com Jenny says:“Donors really appreciate the fact that their generosity will result in a local person benefiting from an assistance dog and they will be able to see the partnership in action in their local community. We look forward to the day when Twiggy will visit the Bournemouth store fully trained and help her new partner look for their latest outfit.”

Difficulty: Medium.
Access Restrictions: No.

How to get there: - Grid Ref 399939.At the west end of Morcombelake, there is a turning to the south called Ship Knapp. Turn into this lane and park on the left after about 100 metres, near the finger sign to Golden Cap. Walk details: Follow the finger sign towards Golden Cap. This will lead you on a level path and track along the base of the small ridgeway to your right and will bring you out at a crossroads with a farm lane (3/4 mile). Turns left then immediately right down the next track and follow the track and then path to the top of Golden Cap (1 mile). First you will meet the memorial stone to the Earl of Antrim, from the National Trust. Continue along the top, past the Trig point and follow the path off the top to the left. At the stile on the descent, carry straight on across the field to the next the stile. Cross this and turn left for Langdown wood and proceed up the slight incline to the next finger signs. Here, turn left around the edge of Langdown Wood for about 1/3 mile until you come across a stile in the left-hand fence which you should take and follow down to Filcombe Farm ahead of you.
