Dear Bournemouth residents,

Introduction

The Bournemouth Directory -

We thoroughly enjoyed our recent Anglesey adventure, which you can read about in this edition. With an ever changing weather forecast, we were a bit uncertain about what we might be able to do, but as it turned out we were very fortunate and able to get out and about most days. it is always fun to explore new areas or revisit places you remember from previous trips.

Queens Park Edition Edition 87

As the summer approaches, it is traditionally a time for our local shows and festivals. Do take the opportunity to enjoy these spectacles on our doorstep and support them by attending.

If you do take time off to escape to other climes, we hope you have a great trip.

Meet the Cleaning Champion Appointed to Keep Bournemouth’s Streets Clean Aiming to enhance the look of the town centre, Ricky Smith has been appointed to the Bournemouth Town Centre Business Improvement District’s (BID) new cleaning service.

Taking to the streets of Bournemouth’s town centre with the tools of his trade, over the last four months Ricky Smith has been working diligently to keep the area clean and tidy. With cleaning cart, gloves and broom in hand, Ricky is the face of a new rapid response cleaning service being delivered by the Bournemouth Town Centre BID. Representing the interests of the Bournemouth business community, Ricky is helping to ensure that the town centre is clean, litter free and most of all a welcoming place for visitors and locals. Funded by the Town Centre BID, Ricky will be providing a service in addition to that provided by the local council. Ricky works five days a week including weekends. He will be placing a special focus on doorways and alleyways, where rubbish has often been allowed to build up.

Ricky Smith said: “I’m really passionate about Bournemouth’s beautiful town centre and I’m pleased to be playing a role in keeping the area pristine and attractive for visitors. With a host of summer events on the way, you are sure to see me out and about dealing with the influx of tourists and the inevitable increase in litter.’’

Paul Kinvig, Chief Operating Officer at Bournemouth Town Centre BID, said: “We are thrilled to have Ricky on board as part of our new rapid response cleaning

service. So far we’ve had great feedback from our levy payers and Ricky is becoming a familiar face around town with his high vis, cleaning equipment and friendly personality.’’

The new rapid response cleaning service is part of the Town Centre BID’s ‘Clean and Green’ programme. This initiative was launched following consultation with local businesses who felt that more needed to be done to improve the look and feel of the town centre. It covers a range of activities, including fly-tipping removal and decorations aimed at restoring pride in Bournemouth’s town centre. All activities aim to help Bournemouth’s town centre effectively compete with other centres across the UK. To find out more about the Bournemouth Town Centre BID, visit: www.towncentrebid.co.uk

The Russian grey wolf jetted into Dorset last month ahead of the tournament kicking off. He spent the week with Poole’s famous boat builder, Sunseeker, a Tier One sponsor of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

While in Poole, he didn’t miss the opportunity of going out on the water. He was spotted in Poole Harbour on board a Sunseeker yacht taking in the sights of Old Harry Rocks and Brownsea Island.

As part of his visit, Zabivaka met with Sunseeker staff, he opened the Poole Harbour Boat Show alongside the Ocean Brothers and visited several schools meeting with children and teachers to educate them all about the FIFA World Cup and the countries taking part.

Sunseeker’s Marketing Manager, Bryan Jones said: “It has been a brilliant opportunity for Sunseeker to secure Zabivaka so close to the FIFA World Cup kicking off. He had a very busy week while he was here, and we have received fantastic feedback from all who met him.”

company policy of delivering the highest standards possible at all times. ‘Our service is simple. If your double glazing has misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 25 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps. Whilst a number of tradespeople perhaps don’t focus on customer care as much as they should do, we make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle.

Locally Cloudy2Clear service the Bournemouth area

and manager Justin Friel agrees that this approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated as both my customers and, obviously a body as nationally important as Which? now recognise.’

Talking about Wildlife...

Summer wildlife

At Dorset Wildlife Trust we know summer is here with the arrival of the little terns and the barn owl chicks. Some of nature’s most exciting displays are about to start…

At Lorton Meadows Nature Reserve in Weymouth, the barn owls have already started to rear their chicks. At the time of writing, 5 of 7 eggs have hatched and under the careful watch of their parents, are thriving. Barn owls have been roosting in the box which is specially built into the Lorton Meadows Conservation Centre, since 2010. Last year, we had the most amount of chicks fledge ever (five!), and this year is already looking promising. All this is despite the decline of barn owls nationally. The Lorton Meadows Nature Reserve, which the barn owls hunt for voles and other prey on, seems to have plentiful food stocks. Lack of habitat and nesting space are the main challenges for barn owls, so it’s great that our nature reserve can provide both for these majestic creatures. Watch them live on our webcam, sponsored by Dorset Tea, at www. dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/raptorcam.

Over at Chesil, the little tern project is in full swing, with the first egg appearing on 20th May, nestled in the iconic pebbles of Chesil Beach. Each summer these little Little Tern near Chesil Beach Photo: Angela Thomas

birds arrive in Dorset, migrating from Africa for the summer, to breed on the beach, which is the South West’s only colony. Last year, they broke records with breeding numbers, and despite their numbers dropping to their lowest in 1997, careful management of the habitat by volunteers has ensured their continued survival and growing numbers. Little terns are the smallest of the UK terns and are a fast flying graceful little bird with a black cap on their head and a yellow bill with a black tip. You’ll hear them before you see them – with their distinctive ‘creeking’ call. They are ground nesting birds, so the Chesil little tern project, led by RSPB, concentrates on protecting the colony from predators and reducing disturbance. Before the birds arrive, an electric fence is put up around the colony, and a hide is constructed for the wardens and volunteers to monitor the birds 24 hours a day, and scare off any avian predators. The Fine Foundation Chesil Beach Centre has a viewing platform to view these birds, who are hunting for fish in the fleet lagoon. Bring your binoculars!

Nuffield Health launches new diagnostic cardiac service Self-referral cardiac assessment service now available to Dorset residents.

Nuffield Health Bournemouth Hospital has launched a new ‘much-needed’ cardiac assessment service, which has the facilities to identify undiagnosed heart conditions.

Nuffield Health’s new cardiac assessment service launched this month at the Bournemouth hospital and is available to all.

The facility will provide a thorough look at an individual’s heart using state-of-the-art machinery to help detect undiagnosed heart conditions. The assessment service is aimed at those who might be worried about genetic conditions or are interested in receiving a health assessment of their heart.

Suneel Talwar, Cardiologist at Nuffield Health Bournemouth, said: “This is a muchneeded facility as some heart conditions do not present with symptoms. Regardless of

your age or physical capabilities, it may be beneficial to get your heart health checked as many conditions can go undiagnosed until it’s too late.

“If there are cases of heart issues in your family, it may be beneficial to seek a health assessment sooner rather than later so that if there are early signs of a heart condition we can give you the medical guidance needed in order to lead a healthy life.”

Those who are worried about their heart health are guaranteed to get an appointment within two weeks at convenient hours.

During the appointment a cardiologist will provide a full assessment with some results given on the day, and others to quickly follow.

For more information or to book an appointment at Nuffield Health Bournemouth Hospital you can call 01202 375032.

Adventures of Nellie

26

The Adventures of Nellie The Dorset Directories Camper Van The isle of Anglesey off the north coast of Wales. Many a good holiday was spent there as a child, so you can only imagine Nellie’s excitement when Stephen’s sister and Dad booked a week there for all of us last month. Driving towards our destination, Nellie was full of nostalgia and fond memories of times gone by.

Betws-y-Coed where we met friends years and years ago, Swallow Falls, the low hanging clouds over the mountains, Llyn (Lake) Ogwen and finally we arrived at the shallow tidal waters of the famous Menai Straits which separates Anglesey from the mainland. Nellie danced across the Bridge and there we were on the island. Alan, Stephen’s father is a member of the prestigious “Holiday Property Bond” and we were booked into wonderful cottages overlooking the rolling green golf course at Henllys near Beaumaris, with magnificent views of Snowdonia in the background. Idyllic.

Henllys used to be a Franciscan Friary and there is a quiet spot with statues, trees and greenery in commemoration of this. The rest of the magnificent house and grounds now provide stylish Enjoying a “rib-roaring” boat trip to Puffin Island

Nellie enjoys the secluded coves cottages and apartments for those who are investors within the scheme. Nellie was thrilled.

Being on a golf course was a great excuse for Stephen to bring out those dusty clubs! It is a while since he has played (must be all that responsibility and hard work he is having to do), so Nellie persuaded him to have a go. Off he went, in a buggy of course, with his uncle David. The were both in complete contentment as they swung those clubs and drove off to find those balls. Uncle David, who does play much more often, shot a birdie (We did explain to Nellie that no birds were hurt in this action…) on hole number 15 and Stephen, well he did not lose ALL of his balls (now now Nellie) and was in fact very happy with his game. Both came back with big smiles and Uncle David unfortunately, also with sore knees. Nellie totally understands!

Penmon Point was a favourite of ours in the past. Dad fishing off the rocks, while Mum worried about Sue and I falling on the rocks with waves crashing around us as we ran across to see if Dad had caught anything. The coastline seemed very different this time but maybe it was

27 my imagination? After all, dare I say it is nearly 40 years since we were regularly there! Oh my word how time flies. Puffin Island just off the shore “in those days” was literally that, full of puffins! Now there are around 200 pairs apparently, which is better as they had dwindled down to much less. The good news is that they are on there way up again.

Knowing this, we decided to take a boat out to see for ourselves. There are many boats that go out from Beaumaris. We chose a Rib Ride with Seacoast Safaris!

Nellie likes excitement and she chose well as Hayden loved it! The young man piloting was very proficient and literally took us for a spin. As a member of RNLI he was well trained and we felt totally safe as he spun the boat in circles before speeding up and chasing the ebbing tide out to Puffin Island. What a thrill! We saw grey seals bobbing up and down, guillemots, kittiwakes, cormorants, razorbills, eider ducks and ONE puffin!

The skipper steered us carefully into the cave, smiling while telling us it was a good idea to put our hoods up! Those birds have no manners… It was a great trip and thoroughly recommended if you are ever on Anglesey.

Beaches are another must on the island.

As a child ‘Me and Dad’ picked winkles

off the rocks at Trearddur Bay and cooked them to eat many a good night.

Trearddur Bay had been hit by a bad storm ten years ago and now has a smart new walkway right across the sands.

Again, a sign of changing times.

Alan and Rachel, Stephen’s dad and sister, love walking and were out each morning by 8am to take in the sites with plenty to see over the 276 square miles that the island occupies. Nellie let us rest, though I think she would have liked to skip along the cliff tops. We did take a walk along the coastal path from Lligwy Beach to Moelfre on a wonderfully sunny day. The ice-cream and coffee were a welcome find at Moelfre before setting off back again to Lligwy beach for a picnic lunch and an afternoon snooze. Nellie likes those!

Nellie really enjoyed her stay at Henllys with its full-sized snooker table, huge outdoor chess set, bar billiards, air hockey, table tennis, sauna, steam bath and swimming pool. We certainly were not short of entertainment!

The drive home was interesting as you will hear about soon… Anglesey is a wonderful island and if you have never visited there are scores of things to do.

Enjoy!

Durlston Court School Sponsor Schools Gardening Competition We are delighted to announce Durlston Court School are sponsoring our our Schools Gardening Competition in the Flower and Gardening Show at this year’s New Forest Show.

We are keen to involve the younger generation in all aspects of the Show and to this end, we would like to invite local schools to take part in a gardening competition to be displayed within the Flower & Gardening Marquee in July.

The competition involves a class or year group planting up two decorative window box planters with either flowering plants, decorative nonflowering plants, vegetables or salad plants. The plastic containers could also be decorated to add an attractive visual impact to the display. We would also encourage the children to keep a diary of how the planter grows and what actions they have taken, a group photo of the children involved could also be submitted and this would all be displayed alongside the exhibit within the marquee.

to be delivered to the Showground by Sunday 22nd July in order that we may create an exhibit within the Flower & Gardening Marquee. The planters will then be judged and will remain on display for the duration of the Show.

There will be a trophy for the winning school, along with rosettes and certificates for the other participants.

If you would like to take part in this competition, please contact our Flower Show Chairman, John Penney: wilverley@btconnect.com or 01425 612570 This project was a great success last year and we are looking to build upon it further for 2018.

If the children are able to, we would encourage them to incorporate ‘Celebrating Country Life’ into the theme of the planters.

The New Forest Show would supply the containers and compost required for the display and the planters would need

Gardening Tips

a beginner’s

GUIDE Runner Beans

It’s not too late to plant runner beans.

My Grandfather always put them in on Whit Sunday, never before, probably because the plants don’t like frost.

For the cost of a packet of seeds you’ll get a continuous crop of lovely fresh runners for a month or so, and they freeze really well.

Push a bean into a small pot of multi purpose compost and keep it moist.

Within a couple of weeks they should start to grow and when you have some sturdy plants with 2 or 3 pairs of leaves they can be planted out in the garden or in deep troughs. If you have a vegetable patch or enough room, construct a wigwam of tall canes (about 6-8 feet) or a

row of crossed canes or even netting for them to grow up. They could even be added to flower beds to give a bit of height as long as they have something to climb up. Next to each cane, dig a hole with a trowel—add some garden compost if you have some or even a layer of newspaper (to hold the moisture) and carefully transplant the bean plants without disturbing the roots too much.

Water well and keep them moist in dry spells, especially when the flower buds appear and the pods are beginning to set.

Happy harvesting - and don’t forget to leave some pods on the plants to dry out and provide you with a fresh new batch of seeds for next year!
