Dear Bournemouth residents,

Introduction

The Bournemouth Directory -

Happy Valentines Day to all our wonderful readers!

This is the time of year we sit and think about the sunshine, warmer times and the ability to get out more again. Stephen, myself and Hayden, (with Nellie the campervan of course) have started to do more walking, even on cold days, so long as it is dry. It is a great way to lift the spirits, get away from the TV and blow the cobwebs away. We had a wonderful walk to Moors Valley last week and even met friends on the way. What a success. So, if you are able to get out I do think it helps. Nellie also took us on a “Murder Mystery Walk” around Wimborne… in the dark! What fun that was. I do hope you have time for a read and better still try a “Treasure Trail” for yourselves. You can even win £100 if you enter their competition!

The Biggest Ever White Christmas Dip Has Raised £38,000 and Counting For the 10th and biggest White Christmas Dip, brave local charity fundraisers have helped raise £38,000 so far for Macmillan Caring Locally

On Christmas Day, 800 took the plunge into the icy seas at Boscombe Pier to support and raise money for Macmillan Caring Locally. The 2017 event celebrated the 10th anniversary of the White Christmas Dip, bringing together a record number of fundraisers on Boscombe Beach.

This year, supporters have so far succeeded in raising £38,000 for charity, however, donations are still open to anyone who wishes to help reach the organisers’ goal of £50,000. All funds raised go directly to Macmillan Caring Locally, helping to develop and maintain their palliative care service at Christchurch Hospital.

Macmillan Caring Locally provides enhanced care in an attractive, homely environment for patients, their families and carers. The funds raised will help Macmillan Caring to continue its activity and build the new palliative unit at the Christchurch Hospital. The charity’s expansion at the Christchurch Hospital is vitally needed as the demand for services has increased considerably in the past few years.

Tom Baker, Founder of the Macmillan White Christmas Dip, said: “Every year the support is fantastic. With the event’s 10th anniversary, we have managed to raise £38,000 so far for this beloved charity.

We have a little more to go and we hope that members of the public will help us achieve our goal to mark this special anniversary. Huge thanks to everyone who attended the dip, helping us raise our current total. Together we’re confident we can reach the fantastic £50K mark.”

Neal Williams, Trust Secretary of Macmillan Caring Locally also comments: “The funds raised the team since 2008 have helped us provide specialist palliative care to many people from the local area. This year’s total is a record amount, which will be put to immediate use providing care and support to our patients and their families. I would like to offer our sincere gratitude to Tom, John, their volunteer team, the sponsors and everyone who took part for a hugely successful event.”

Celebrity Interview

Celebrity Interview:

Kiri te Kanawa

By Tim Saunders

Celebrated opera singer Dame Kiri Te Kanawa has announced that she will not sing in public again. Her last public performance was in Melbourne, Australia in October 2016. “Before I’d gone on, I said, right, this it. And that was the end,” the soprano recently revealed on the BBC’s Today programme. “I don’t want to hear my voice. It is in the past. When I’m teaching young singers, and hearing beautiful young fresh voices, I don’t want to put my voice next to theirs.”

Perhaps the greatest success for the New Zealand opera star was singing at the wedding of Lady Diana and Prince Charles at St. Paul’s Cathedral in 1981. A worldwide audience of 600m tuned in to watch this memorable occasion.

In 2013 she appeared in ITV’s Downton Abbey playing the Australian operatic soprano Dame Nellie Melba.

Te Kanawa has received accolades in many countries, singing a wide array of works in multiple languages from the 17th to the 20th centuries. She is particularly associated with the works of Mozart, Strauss, Verdi, Handel and Puccini, and has found particular success in portraying princesses, nobility, and other similar characters on stage.

Born Claire Mary Teresa Rawstron in Gisborne, New Zealand she has Maori and European ancestry, but little is known about her birth parents. She was adopted by Thomas Te Kanawa, a Maori, and his wife, Nell. She had never made any attempt to contact her natural parents, but around this time, her half-brother Jim Rawstron contacted her. Initially, she was not willing to meet him, but later agreed. This episode ended in bitterness, and she has since reaffirmed her decision to have nothing to do with her birth family.

Educated at St Mary’s College, Auckland, she formally trained in operatic singing by Dame Sister Mary Leo. Beginning her singing career as a mezzo-soprano, she later developed into a soprano. Her recording of the “Nuns’ Chorus” from the Strauss operetta Casanova was New Zealand’s first gold record.

She met Desmond Park on a blind date in London in August 1967, and they married six weeks later at St Patrick’s Cathedral, Auckland adopting two children, Antonia and Thomas. The couple divorced in 1997.

In her teens and early 20s, Te Kanawa was a pop star and popular entertainer at clubs in New Zealand and regularly appeared in newspapers and magazines.

In 1963, she was runner-up to Malvina Major in the Mobil Song Quest with her performance of “Vissi d’arte” from Puccini’s Tosca, and in 1965 she won the same competition. As winner, she received a grant to study in London.

In 1966, she then won the prestigious Australian Melbourne Sun-Aria contest, which Major had also won the previous year. Both students had been taught

by Sister Mary Leo. Later that year, without an audition, she enrolled at the London Opera Centre to study under Vera Rózsa and James Robertson, who reputedly said Te Kanawa lacked a singing technique when she arrived at the school but did have a gift for captivating audiences. She first appeared on stage as the Second Lady in Mozart’s The Magic Flute, as well as in performances of Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas in December 1968 at the Sadler’s Wells Theatre.

She also sang the title role in Donizetti’s Anna Bolena.

In 1969, she sang Elena in Rossini’s La donna del lago at the Camden Festival; and was offered the role of the Countess in The Marriage of Figaro after an audition of which the conductor, Colin Davis, said, “I couldn’t believe my ears. I’ve taken thousands of auditions, but it was such a fantastically beautiful voice.”

Tim Saunders is an author, journalist and businessman.

He meets celebrities, goes on holiday and road tests cars.

Wildlife News

Talking about Wildlife...

Birds of a feather...

At about 4pm on a cold winter’s day, the sky may come alive with the shape of birds flocking together, with the sudden deafening sound of chitter chatter filling the air. One of wildlife’s most spectacular sights is approaching – a swooping and swirling murmuration of starlings.

It may surprise you to know that starlings are actually becoming a less common sight in the UK, so seeing a flock of them is a wonderful thing.

Other winter visitors flocking include birds from Eastern Europe and even species from the far northern regions, such as redwings and fieldfares from Scandinavia.

So, why do birds flock? Well, why not!

Birds can move easily and quickly, so they make the most of an annual trip to the UK, with an abundance of food, and a warmer climate to enjoy.

Flocks of birds are also essential for their survival this time of year, as

Starlings

their main advantage is literally their safety in numbers and they can distract predators with the sheer size of the group, making it hard for them to focus on just one bird when there’s so many, so close together. Large groups of birds can also stay warm, and hunt together, increasing their chances of survival.

Dorset Wildlife Trust nature reserves are an excellent place to witness these special wildlife sights this winter, but you are also likely to see some activity in your own garden, by leaving out water and food for birds. Winter is a hard time of year to find food, so they need all the help they can get!

Actor Nigel Havers becomes Patron of Julia’s House Nigel Havers has become a Patron of Julia’s House, the Dorset and Wiltshire children’s hospice charity.

The actor pledged to support the work of the Julia’s House after visiting its new children’s hospice in Wiltshire.

Nigel said: “I am delighted to be supporting Julia’s House as a Patron.

Having seen the Devizes hospice for myself, I have been bowled over by the wonderful facilities and the warm, welcoming atmosphere. How lovely for Wiltshire families to be able to access so many marvellous things – like the amazing bath and the sensory room – which they don’t have at home.

“What impresses me most is how Julia’s House staff really get to know every member of the families and support them is so many ways. I look forward to being part of this very special charity.”

To celebrate his new role he invited

a group of Julia’s House siblings – brothers and sisters of children with life-limiting conditions – to join him for a VIP visit to the London Palladium where they had the chance to see him in an entirely different role, starring in the panto Dick Whittington.

Afterwards the delighted youngsters were greeted by Nigel and whisked off for a backstage tour where they also met fellow cast members Julian Clary and Ashley Banjo of Diversity fame.

Nigel Havers joins a line-up of Patrons that includes Martin Clunes, Eddie Howe, Guy and Jacqui Ritchie, Jasper Conran, Trudie Styler and Rupert Everett.

£93,500 For Awards in 2018 At their meeting on Saturday the Trustees of the John Thornton Young Achievers Foundation allocated a staggering £93,500 for awards in 2018!

This money will be used to provide bursaries and scholarships to local young people providing them with opportunities to discover their potential and develop their talents as they work towards achieving their ambitions.

Young people from seven local schools will benefit together with Girl Guides, Scouts, Air Cadets, Sea Cadets, Royal Marine Cadets, members of the Coda Fiddle Orchestra, the Dorset Music Service and bursaries will also be provided to young people from Dorset who need financial support to take part in sailing adventures with the Tall Ships Youth Trust.

The charity was set up in memory of Lt John Thornton RM who was tragically killed in Afghanistan in 2008. As the 10th year anniversary approaches there is no better time to reflect on John’s legacy and all that has been achieved in his name.

The figures are quite incredible. A total of £526,000 awarded to almost 1400 young individuals together with numerous group projects. It isn’t however the total amount of money awarded or the number or individuals and groups who have benefited, but the difference these awards have made to young people’s lives which is the cause for celebration.

One of the awards winners summed things up nicely. “What an amazing charity!

Thanks to the JTYAF I am living my dream.”

You’ve worked hard for what you have. Make sure you keep it. Protect your home from funding future care fees which currently run at an average £1000 per week.

Do you want your home and wealth to go to your children and other loved ones?

Have you ever considered what the effect might be on your savings and investments, or even your home, if you ever needed residential care later in life.

The Problem Currently anyone with assets in excess of £23,250 will not receive any assistance with care fees.

Typically, when a couple owns a house together and one partner dies, their share passes to the surviving spouse. Whilst at first glance this would appear practical it is this sole and absolute ownership that enables a whole property to be taken into consideration as an asset by the local authority and puts the property on danger of needing to be sold to fund care.

The Solution A Property Protection Trust Will is a will drafted to help protect your property from an assessment by the local authority to fund long term care fees. The half share of the family home belonging to the first person to die, passes into trust. This type of trust is also known as a Life Interest Trust in favour of the survivor which means that they can benefit from the share of the house in the trust during his/her lifetime and on their death the trust fund passes to others, usually the children.

What’s Included Severance of tenancy on your property. This changes the legal ownership on the land registry from joint tenants to tenants in common. Meaning you both own it 50/50.

Full details can be seen below.

Protect your home from funding future care fees...

Royal Bournemouth Hospital continues to receive support from Talbot Village Trust Talbot Village Trust has granted £20,000 to the Bournemouth Hospital Charity to part fund the refurbishment of Ward 11 which forms part of the hospital’s Haematology and Oncology Unit.

Royal Bournemouth Hospital’s Ward 11 has undergone the refurbishment to create a real ‘home away from home’ with areas for patients to socialise as well as provide an improved environment for patients who are receiving treatment for lifelong and terminal conditions.

The ward is part of the hospital’s Jigsaw Building for which Talbot Village Trust donated a previous £20,000 to help fund its construction in 2013. The building has been open since 2015 and consists of a Women’s Health Unit and state-of-the-art facilities for the treatment of cancer and blood disorders. There is also a dedicated space for a Chemotherapy Day Unit and supportive treatments for patients with haematological and oncological conditions.

Marie Miller, cancer care matron at Royal Bournemouth Hospital, said: “I would like to say a massive thank you to Talbot Village Trust

for giving us the funding to help transform our five bathrooms into wet rooms and a toilet.

This refurbishment has not only improved the environment for our patients, but it has also enhanced their recovery process by meeting their needs to remain as independent as possible.”

Russell Lucas-Rowe, Trustee of Talbot Village Trust, added: “We are thrilled to have been given the opportunity to continue to support the Bournemouth Hospital Charity with our funding. It is fantastic to see the significant difference it has made over the last four years.

Making a difference really matters to us and it is clear to see the positive impact our grant has had on patients and the staff at Royal Bournemouth Hospital.”

Talbot Village Trust meets biannually, and will be accepting applications for funding from both previous and new applicants in the area before the Trustees meet in spring. Please go to www. talbotvillagetrust.org for more information.

Crumbs’ mixed ability team have been delivering lunches at Winton Methodist Church and at its own training facility in Hibberd Court on a monthly bases, which are both well attended by local residents.

Adventures of Nellie

The Adventures of Nellie The Dorset Directories Camper Van It was a chilling dark winter’s night.

We arrived at Walford Mill Craft Centre all wrapped up with scarves, gloves and torches, ready for our “Murder Mystery” walk. Who did it? What with? These were the allimportant questions and we had just 2 hours to follow the clues and discover the culprit. Would we solve the Mystery in the Vestry? Ivana Cramp had been a keen member of the Minster Choir for years. She had recently come into a large inheritance when her body was found. Was this a deed of greed… or because Ivana had an overpowering,

OK, so who dunnit? And with what?

flat voice? We were about to find out. This is all fiction of course but we really got into the ‘spirit’ of things.

Nellie had inadvertently come across “Treasure Trails” while surfing the internet one evening. She is getting very clever as you can see! These trails are described as ‘the fun way to explore’ and can be purchased online at www.treasuretrails.co.uk or often in tourist information offices.

There are a series of clues which take you all around a particular area, giving you facts and some history about local sites, whilst you find the answers to each piece of evidence and finally eliminate all but one name and the weapon used. At that point you have the guilty party!

There are many places to explore and it is a great way to get to know somewhere. Not all are murder mystery trails, so have a look and

see if there is one where you live or are visiting. It really is a fun way to get around!

There were twelve of us taking the challenge that night, wanting to solve the mystery. We tried to guess from the list of people we were given, who ‘did it’ before we started. Julie got it right! How did she know I wonder… Was she really an accomplice? Now Nellie’s imagination was running riot and she was just taking this too far. I have had words with her. It was so much fun. Some of the clues do need some deciphering, others are more straight forward, but each step takes you further and further around the town. Wimborne is a fabulous place to shop and visit. The Minster looming up to the sky right in the town centre, the Jubilee Gardens, the old grandiose school house now housing flats for local residents, the River meandering through, the Quarterjack on the West Tower, with his brightly uniformed grenadier, who still strikes the quarters every

hour, day and night, the more modern statue of a skateboarder.

What a wealth of interest to see.

Even in the dark!

You do not have to do this walk in the dark of course, but Nellie likes to be different and it all added to the ambience of our quest. The bright torches were useful to say the least.

We solved the mystery!

After all that investigating we were quite exhausted. Like Nellie we are getting on a bit now… Time for something to eat and drink. We had actually booked a carvery at the Bridge House Hotel in Longham.

Delicious and great value, Nellie highly recommends it in fact.

Probably because you can pile up your plate and go back for seconds.

You don’t get thighs like that on lettuce leaves…

Well we can safely say that Ivana from the Choir can rest in peace.

Nellie isn’t giving you the answer as you could find out for yourself who did it…

Where will Nellie take us next?

Hope for Food Charity Appeal Ferndown Upper School had an amazing response to their plea for students and their parents to bring in donations for the local charity “Hope For Food”. The charity was set up in 2012 By Claire Matthews with the aim of providing life’s basic essentials on a day to day basis to people in need of help, either homeless or struggling due to difficult family circumstances, in the Bournemouth area.

This wonderful charity, which is run by volunteers, also operate a soup kitchen four days a week, fifty two weeks per year. One of our teachers, Fran Moyano (pictured) was moved to help the charity and approached the student council for help. In no time at all, the word had gone out to students and their parents, and items such as bedding, warm coats, toiletries etc. started flooding in.

Mrs Moyano expressed her astonishment, “ I can’t express how amazing you all are, having contributed so much. We filled the school minibus to the top! Thank you to all the students, parents and staff ”. Sam (Hope for Food liaison officer) commented, “sincere thanks to all of the pupils at Ferndown Upper School for their tremendous effort

collecting and donating items to our charity and for raising awareness of our charity and the difficulties of the people we aim to help. They struggle daily to have just one or two of the comforts we all take for granted and it was humbling to know that Ferndown Upper cared so much that the many, many items collected filled your very large minibus to capacity.”

To find out more about this worthy charity, please see their website.

Preheat oven to 200c. Half fill a medium saucepan with water and bring to the boil. Add in the potatoes once chopped and cook for 4 minutes. Drain and return to the saucepan.

Gardening Tips

a beginner’s

GUIDE Kids

It's never too soon to get children interested in gardening and where their food comes from.

Even the fussiest child should be prepared to try a warm, sweet strawberry or raspberry straight from the plant or a handful of peas out of the pod (my Dad often wondered why half of his pea crop had suddenly disappeared although I'm sure he had his suspicions!)

At any time of the year, children can start to understand the concept of things growing from seed if you give them a packet of cress seeds and, although they can be grown in a shallow tray, make it even more fun by saving the shells from

their breakfast boiled eggs that have had their tops cut off.

Draw a face on the eggshell and fill with peat free compost or even moist kitchen roll and sprinkle with seeds. When it grows the little egg man will have a mop of green hair that they can snip and eat.

In the spring, let them have a competition growing the tallest sunflower by learning how to feed and water them. They can keep some dried out seeds for next year and feed the rest to the birds in winter. Although they might shy away from anything green on their plates, they might find plenty of chopped chives, basil, marjoram/oregano and/or thyme only improves their favourite pizza or Bolognese sauce.

Auto Biographies Motoring

Range Rover Sport

By Tim Barnes-Clay, www.carwriteups.co.uk

Now, here’s a question that you might not know the answer to but will almost certainly have an opinion on. Is the Range Rover Sport one of the most influential cars of the modern era? A decade or so ago it seemed like all the celebrities were arriving to events in a Range Rover Sport, and since then the SUV market has exploded. Now nearly everybody wants one. Furthermore, almost every manufacturer is now making them.

The Sport is not really a full-blown Range Rover. It’s cheaper for a start, and comes with five seats, but it does offer the option of seven. That said, the additional chairs are tiny and aren’t appropriate for fitting kids’ car seats. This is a lower, smaller ‘Rangie’, designed to appeal to a slightly less affluent, but still successful, crowd. And the focus has moved from out-and-out luxury to one that is more about power and pure on-road use.

Of course, it’s a Range Rover, so it is well equipped, and the interior is of a high quality.

The Windsor leather seats are impeccable - but the Sport is quite different to the full ‘Range Rover’. There are three diesels, two petrols, and even a new hybrid powertrain to choose from - and all are tuned primarily for clout. Only the entry level TDV6 feels a little

lacking, but equally I couldn’t recommend the powerful eight-cylinder petrol engine on offer - unless you own a small oil producing nation. This will really eat away at your cash reserves.

Being designed for on-road action, rather than the full-blown Range Rover’s off-road capability, the Sport comes with optional air suspension. This keeps it comfortable and composed, even when cornering hard.

The issue with driving it fast is more the size than the capability of the car. Britain’s most enjoyable roads are just a bit too small to be throwing a two-tonne SUV around, however good it might be.

The Range Rover Sport is a status symbol, a luxury cruiser, and an enjoyable car to drive hard. But it’s expensive to buy and run - especially with its more commanding engines. And it’s not certain that the new hybrid unit can deliver on the claimed figures. Nevertheless, those who want one won’t be put off by such trivial matters.

Pros ‘n’ Cons • Powerful √ • Spacious √ • Comfortable √ • Composed √ • Expensive X

Fast Facts • Max speed: 130mph • 0-62 mph: 7.2 secs • Combined mpg: 40.4 • Engine: 2993cc 6-cyl turbo diesel • CO2: 185 g/km • Price: £69,145
