Dear Bournemouth residents,

Introduction

The Bournemouth Directory -

Well we certainly had a cold spell for a while but spring is officially here On 20th March! A time many of us look forward to. New life, new growth and warmer weather! Time for a spring clean and out with the old and in with the new. I love it.

Next month we will have our first adventure with “Daichi The Dashing Dude”! He is the new Dorset Directories campervan and he is a bit of a character.

There may be no holding him back… All good fun and I can’t wait to get back on the road visiting some new and exciting places right here on our beautiful South Coast.

Beryl Bikes for Bournemouth & Poole as Bike Share operator announced for Spring 2019 Bournemouth Borough Council and Borough of Poole Council have partnered with preferred operator Beryl to deliver an innovative Bike Share scheme across the conurbation.

The Councils and Beryl have partnered for a five-year contract to provide Bike Share across Bournemouth and Poole. The distinctive emerald green bikes will soon be a familiar sight on the streets and will be available for instant hire via the Beryl App. The App tracks the GPS location of the bike allowing users to easily access and unlock any Beryl bike simply using a smartphone.

The scheme will be launched in spring/summer 2019, with an initial 50 brand new bikes conveniently distributed for use at key destinations including rail and bus stations, town centre shopping areas and tourist attractions.

The gradual roll out of bikes will eventually increase to around 1,000 bikes by the summer months, available for instant hire. The Beryl bikes have three speed gears and a step through design, with fully adjustable handlebars and seats for a wide range of riders, from 4’11” to 6’5”.

The App can be downloaded on the Apple app store for iPhone, and the Google Play Store for Android users.

Riders can choose to pay each time they cycle, or take up an annual membership.

Users will be informed of the location of ‘Beryl Bays’, the preferred parking locations to leave the bikes.

However, the scheme is designed with flexibility in mind and will allow users to park the bikes elsewhere, provided they are safely within the scheme area.

Operators will keep track of all the bikes and will “rebalance” them as required to maximise availability.

Beryl has experience in bike share innovation, having been a lighting and technology partner to Transport for London bike share, and providing lights to the bike hire schemes in New York, Montreal and Glasgow.

The British company already operates two corporate dockless bike share schemes in London and is accredited with Bikeplus, which is the agreed standard of Best Practice for the industry.

Philip Ellis, Beryl CEO said: “We are really pleased

to be working with Bournemouth Borough Council and Poole Borough Council to bring our bike share system to the area. We will be calling on our experience working with world-class bike share schemes, such as those in London and New York, to provide the best service possible in Bournemouth and Poole.”

Councillor Mike Greene, Cabinet Member for Transport, Cleansing and Waste for Bournemouth Borough Council said: “I am delighted that we are partnering with Beryl to deliver an innovative Bike Share solution for our conurbation. The scheme will be a convenient, flexible and affordable option for both residents and visitors to our area.”

Councillor Ian Potter, Cabinet Portfolio Holder for Transportation for Borough of Poole stated: “I am looking forward to trying the Beryl bikes and am certain that the ability to hop on and off will prove attractive in encouraging more people to take up cycling.”

There is no initial or ongoing cost to the Councils and Beryl will be responsible for supplying the bikes plus associated equipment as well as management and maintenance of the service. Beryl will also be investing in local cycling infrastructure in the area to ensure maximum efficiency for those riding.

Future developments include the introduction of a fleet of electric bikes for hire and potential expansion of the scheme into Christchurch. Businesses will also be offered the use of shared electric cargo bikes to assist with local deliveries and help cut both carbon emissions and congestion.

B. E. A. F. – Bournemouth’s Fringe Festival Returns in May From Saturday 4th to Sunday 12th May Bournemouth’s largest independent arts and cultural festival, B. E. A. F. (Bournemouth Emerging Arts Fringe), returns to celebrate and showcase the work of Bournemouth’s vibrant, home-grown creative community. Running for the third time since 2015, B. E. A. F. presents exhibitions, theatre productions, concerts, comedy, cabaret, dance and film screenings outdoors, in galleries, cafés, bars and other unexpected locations across town, with a focus on the area in and around Boscombe.

The opening weekend on Sat 4th and Sun 5th May will see exhibitions open in various locations.

Performances and workshops will take place at the Bournemouth Natural Science Society, and the B. E. A. F. Film Festival will be hosted at the Shelley Theatre, featuring a selection of short films and the famous 1929 silent film, Man with a Movie Camera, celebrating 90 years since it was first screened, accompanied with a new live score from The Cabinet of Living Cinema.

The B. E. A. F. Street Festival will take place on Bank Holiday Monday, 6th May, bringing arts onto the precinct in Boscombe, including the opening of the iconic police box as the Boscombe Centre for Contemporary Arts, curated by artist Stuart

Boscombe Characters © Jake Trickett

Semple. Music and performances, exhibitions, workshops and a massive floor mural will be just some of the activities taking place in Boscombe that day. Further attractions will be life-sized 2D characters by local artist Jake Trickett populating Boscombe High Street (image above) and Ashley Peevor’s Grass Man roaming the streets.

The festival will draw to a close at the second weekend with events at Churchill Gardens.

“Bournemouth offers a broad cultural programme in the town centre, but we want to turn the spotlight onto our local communities and show how many talented and internationally recognised artists live and work right here, and how beneficial arts and culture are for businesses, community spirit and wellbeing in the area. The festival is an opportunity to showcase new work created by our amazing creative community, whilst getting more local people and businesses involved in the arts,” says B. E. A. F. Director, Carol Maund.

B. E. A. F. 2019 is supported by funding from Arts Council England and Bournemouth Coastal BID.

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.’

Wildlife News

Talking about Wildlife...

Species of the month

Can you remember the last time you saw a hedgehog? Or a robin? Did you used to see them, but perhaps not recently? These are the kinds of questions that we, Dorset Wildlife Trust (DWT), need the answers to.

And we’d like the public to help us.

In 2015 DWT started a citizen science project, ‘Species of the Month’ – asking the public to let us know when they’ve seen a certain species for each month of the year. Since, not only have thousands of records flown in, but so have your anecdotes about wildlife experiences, with many of you sharing your delight from a regular or occasional wildlife visitor in your local patch or garden.

Recording and looking for both rare and common wildlife allows conservationists to monitor peaks and declines in wildlife populations. Something that’s in abundance now, might not be in 5 years’ time and these records could help identify trends to understand why this has happened.

Wildlife also doesn’t recognise boundaries – it goes anywhere there is habitat and food, so recording what’s in your garden or local green spaces is just as important as conservation teams recording which species are on nature reserves.

So, this new year, can you ‘look out’ for wildlife? Past species we’ve been interested in finding out more about include the easily identifiable robin, brimstone, house sparrow and hedgehog. If it’s something a little rarer, we’ll give you all the information you need to be able to identify it. In March we’re looking for the bee-fly pollinator, to kick start our Get Dorset Buzzing campaign!

Dark-edged Bee-fly

Visit www.dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/wildlife to record your sighting, and don’t forget to sign up to the e-newsletter so you can take part every month.

ABOUT THE DARK-EDGED BEE-FLY

The Dark-edged Bee-fly, or ‘Large Beefly’, looks rather like a bumble bee, with a long, straight proboscis that it uses to feed on nectar from spring flowers, such as primroses and violets. It is on the wing in the early spring, when it can often be seen in sunny patches. In flight, it is even more like a bee as it produces a high-pitched buzz. This species of bee-fly is common, but the Heath and Mottled Bee-flies are much rarer.

HOW TO IDENTIFY

Looking like a bee, the Dark-edged Bee-fly has yellowy-brown hair on its body, long, spindly legs, and a long proboscis. The wings have dark markings along their leading edges, hence it’s common name. There are several species of bee-fly in the UK, which can be very difficult to tell apart; the Darkedged Bee-fly has a dark edge, while others have plainer, translucent wings.

An overnight carer who doesn’t need to stay Right at Home Bournemouth and Poole is an award winning home care company.

Its superb home care services don’t stop just because most people have gone to bed, it also offers short overnight popin visits known as Twilight or Mobile Nights for those who need reassurance or specific tasks carried out between 10.30pm and 7am.

Our twilight service means: • You get a short visit of up to 20 minutes at a time you choose during the night • You don’t have the imposition of a carer staying in your house overnight with you • Your family is reassured that someone is able to attend to you during the night.

• For our existing daytime or twilight clients, we are able to offer an oncall service overnight to assist with the unexpected • For many of our clients, this is a viable and cost effective alternative

to having a carer stay in their house overnight: it costs £30 - £35 compared with £100 plus per night • In many instances, taking advantage of our Twilight service has enabled clients to be discharged from hospital earlier than would otherwise have been possible Our Twilight caregivers are carefully selected and we pay them and treat them well. This means they are experienced and proactive: caregivers who really make a difference.

Although many care companies find recruitment really difficult, when we seek applications for our Twilight roles, we really are overwhelmed with excellent candidates.

For client safety and to ensure the safety of our staff, Twilight caregivers always work in pairs. Working in pairs ensures they better able to deal with the unexpected. Even so, for our Twilight team, there is always a member of our dedicated and experienced management team on the end of a phone if they need further support.

To advertise in The Bournemouth Directory, please call: 01202 894397

15

Likely tasks for a Twilight caregiver could include a safety check, assistance with turning or positioning, toileting and continence care, pressure area checks, assistance with hydration or nutrition or simply a reassuring visit for someone living with anxiety or dementia.

We’ve also supported clients who need assistance going to bed at night but find conventional care companies are unable to offer them a late enough visit: such visits attract a bespoke charge and many of our clients have appreciated the increased choice this offers them.

If you would like more information about our Twilight service, please contact our friendly team on 01202 280855.

You can also get in touch through our website and Facebook page or by emailing bournemouth@ rightathomeUK.com www.rightathomeUK.com/ bournemouth

“My family have used Right at Home since 2014. My father had suffered a stroke and had a major heart operation and as a consequence had mobility and communication issues. At times he could be difficult to manage and required understanding and patience.

“His close family lived an hour away and it was essential that a care provider was found to cope with the possibility of a call at short notice and be there for him if needed urgently. Right at Home assessed his needs and allocated care staff that understood my father’s health issues and ensured his care was sensitive and delivered in a way that was supportive to him. This was a great relief to his family. I found all the staff to be extremely helpful and they were always willing to change visiting times, purchase food or drink if stocks were low and administer medication if necessary and at times call for the emergency services if my father was unwell or in need of medical assistance. I cannot thank them enough for the professional service we received whilst my father was at home.

“In conclusion, no issue was too big and no problem too small for them to deal with and put the family’s mind at rest. My father has now moved to full time nursing care and is near his family and although he now has residential care he is extremely grateful and complimentary regarding all the staff from Right at Home. Thank you.” Jerry D

Nissan LEAF 3.Zero models power in to Westover Nissan Following the sales success of Nissan LEAF electric vehicle in 2018, with motor dealership Westover Nissan witnessing almost 55 new car sales, the Westover Group is pleased to announce that its order books for the Nissan LEAF 3.Zero models are now open at both its Bournemouth and Salisbury locations, with first deliveries to the showrooms on the 19 plate taking place in May.

With extensive product knowledge of the marque, the Westover Nissan team are on-hand to discuss details about the new electric vehicles and take orders from interested buyers ahead of its summer delivery.”

Westover Nissan is welcoming people to its showrooms to find out about the Nissan LEAF 3.Zero and 3.Zero e+ Limited Edition from its highly efficient team of customer service driven sales professionals.

The two new versions of the LEAF electric car offer improved infotainment, with the e+ Limited Edition providing a boost in power and extended range.

Prices start at £31,095, including the £3,500 government plug-in car grant, for the LEAF 3.Zero and £36,795 including the government grant for the LEAF 3.Zero e+ Limited Edition.

Both feature an eight inch touchscreen infotainment system, the e-pedal function with regenerative braking and the ProPILOT driver assistance technology.

Report urges retirees to register LPAs to avoid ‘later-life financial crisis’ A new report suggests that four-fifths of retirees who are taking advantage of pension freedoms may face a ‘later-life financial crisis’.

According to a report from Zurich, the risk – estimated to affect 345,000 retirees – stems from their lack of having a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA), potentially hindering them from obtaining financial help should they become ill or lose mental capacity. Without providing a family member or trusted friend with the legal authority to make this kind of decision, the Courts would have to become involved should the individual no longer be able to make decisions themselves.

Commenting on the findings of the report Mr Skilton of Dorset & Wight Wills highlighted the important purpose which LPA’s serve in later life decision making, particularly since the pension freedoms were introduced.

He said: “Registering an LPA has become even more important since the pension reforms.

Thousands of people are now making complex decisions on their pension into old age, when the risk of developing a sudden illness or condition such as dementia increases.

“Despite this, many are unprepared for a sudden health shock or a decline in their mental abilities. The time to set up an LPA is well before you need it, and pension providers should be highlighting this to their customers.

“With more and more people moving into drawdown, this is creating a ticking time bomb that could leave thousands of people facing a potential later-life financial crisis. It is vital that people plan for a time when managing their pension might become hard, or even impossible, and speaking to Dorset and Wight Wills is one of the best ways to do this.”

Solving Your Leasehold Problems • You can remove the block management company.

• You can apply to a tribunal if service charges are unreasonable.

• Your landlord must consult you about major works or 12-month+ service contracts • You can apply to have restrictive covenants removed or amended.

Don’t Let Your Lease Drop Below 80 Years!

You own a leasehold flat in Bournemouth.

But the lease term is approaching (or has dropped below) the crucial 80-year mark – making your flat almost impossible to sell.

So what do you do? You have two choices: • buy the freehold – get rid of your landlord (usually), stop paying ground rent, have a greater say in how your block is run • extend your lease – by 90 years, reduce your ground rent to a peppercorn.

Doing nothing is not a wise option. Every passing year can make the problem more expensive to solve.

Why Bournemouth Flats Are Different Bournemouth flats’ lease structures can be more complex than those elsewhere in the UK because they may involve a head lease.

So it pays to get expert advice.

Exercise Your Leasehold Rights You and your fellow leaseholders have important legal rights: • You can buy the freehold.

• Your landlord must offer you the freehold first when selling it.

• You can extend your lease.

Talbot Village Trust gives charity a boost to help disadvantaged children Talbot Village Trust has helped the local charity, Ashley’s Birthday Bank, launch the ‘Ashley Bear’ initiative which supports children affected by domestic violence and neglect.

in their lives. Ashley’s Birthday Bank works hard to highlight the need that there is across the county for these children and their families to be supported through its crisis service.

The ‘Ashley Bear’ project has been created by the charity to provide children across Poole, Bournemouth and Christchurch with a teddy bear if they have been exposed to or affected by domestic violence. The £1,800 grant received from the Trust enabled the charity to purchase 300 ‘Ashley bears’ and will bring the children comfort.

So far the bears have been distributed to the local women’s refuges, social workers, police liaison officers, and abuse counsellors.

“In order to continue serving our local communities, the charity relies solely on donations from local companies and individuals, and we would like to encourage others to back this cause if they can.”

Anna Selby, chairperson of Ashley’s Birthday Bank, said: “We were delighted to receive funding for our ‘Ashley Bear’ initiative. We have already received positive feedback that suggests the bears became a companion for the children and someone to talk to when they were feeling sad or lonely. We are so grateful to the Trust for allowing us to continue helping the county’s most vulnerable families through our service.”

Russell Lucas-Rowe, Trustee of Talbot Village Trust, added: “It is a harrowing reality that children can be exposed to domestic violence, abuse and neglect

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 of this year.

‘Walk For Hope’ Means Cancer Patients Never Have To Walk Alone Wessex Cancer Trust’s biggest annual fundraising event, Walk for Hope, returns to the New Forest for its third year on Sunday 9 June, and organisers would love more walkers than ever to stride out and raise vital funds for local people living with cancer.

About 300 people took part in the 2018 walk, raising over £50,000.

New for 2019 is the option of a five-mile route, alongside the ten and 20-mile distances, making the event even more accessible for supporters of all ages and abilities.

Philip Wilson, who raised £670 by taking part in the ten mile event in 2018, said: “I work for John Lewis in Southampton which chose Wessex Cancer Trust’s Waterside Cancer Support Centre in Hythe as its charity of the year, and wanted to take part in this event to show my personal support to those living with cancer. What an emotional day it was. I met people who’ve had cancer and won, have cancer and are winning, and someone who has cancer but it’s incurable. I burst into tears Philip Wilson

reading the dedications on people’s backs, I had a moment in the middle when I thought about the many people I’ve known throughout my 38 years whose lives have been affected by cancer, and again when I crossed the finish line out of sheer pride. It was also a personal challenge for me – something to train for and a way of getting fitter and healthier.”

Laura Beavis, Wessex Cancer Trust’s events manager, said: “The peace and beauty of the New Forest make it a fitting setting to come together to give hope to friends and family undergoing cancer treatment, to remember loved ones and to support everyone affected by cancer, and we would love 2019 to be the biggest and best yet.”

Entrants will receive an official Walk for Hope t-shirt, a fundraising pack, a training and event guide, and membership to a Facebook group where they can meet other participants and share fundraising and training tips. After being cheered over the finish line, walkers will receive a medal and celebrate with well-earned refreshments.

Anyone registering before 31st March can take advantage of early bird prices of £10 for a child under 16, £20 for adults, £70 for a team of four and £4 for dogs. Visit www.wessexcancer. org.uk/Event/walk-for-hope-2019 for more information and to sign up, or contact laura. beavis@wessexcancer.org.uk.

Introducing... Individuality Swimming

Individuality Swimming was formed

by Kristin Maguire in 2002 to deliver swimming lessons to meet swimmers’ individual needs, as individuals we sometimes need that extra helping hand to achieve what we want in life.

Your swimming journey can start with our Aqua Natal classes, following the birth you can move to one of our very popular Parent and Baby classes. We actively encourage both parents to take “baby” swimming, and currently have quite a lot of dads in our classes. Parent and Baby classes are a great opportunity for skin to skin contact with baby which helps in the bonding process.

We have the license locally for Aqua Sensory and incorporate aqua sensory into all our Parent and Baby classes. “Aqua Sensory is a unique programme, which provides a rich mixture of sensory exploration and early developmental opportunities.” We also have specific Aqua Sensory classes where water offers a unique sensory world requiring closeness and trust that builds strong emotional bonds. Each lesson has specifically themed activities, developed with a key focus on early developmental skills. The programme is a “stimulation of all the senses” that combines movements, music and songs, signing and discovery play.

Kristin Maguire

The next step in your swimming journey happens between 2.5yrs and 3yrs old when you join one of our non-swimmer classes, you will be in the water without Mum or Dad together with up to 4 other adventurous young swimmers. Most of our non-swimmer classes will have a teacher and an assistant to support you in gaining water confidence. Once you have mastered swimming 5m on your front and your back, your journey then progresses to other group lessons where we start to work on your stroke and stamina. Our Group lessons have a maximum of 5 swimmers and are aimed and delivering swimming lessons to meet the groups needs and the individual’s needs. We also offer One to One and Two to One Lessons for children who want or need it. Another step in your journey is the advanced swimming classes where you will work on stroke technique,

31 swimming journey later in life, and our Adult Swimming Lessons are very popular as we run them throughout the local area, with One to One and Two to One classes, Group Swimming, and Swimming and Fitness for Adults.

All these classes share a common focus, teaching the valuable life skill that is to people of any age, from SWIMMING swimming & FITNESS beginners to improvers.

“Kristin and the team at Individuality have personal survival and rescue including taught all of my children to swim. They are swimming with clothes on. professional and fun and have made learning We work in partnership with Poole to swim a total pleasure. All of the teachers Swimming Club running pre-club classes make swimming exciting, whilst continually primarily aimed at swimmers aged six pushing the children forward to achieve their to eight and for those wanting to have very best, not only giving them confidence, an introduction to club swimming and but respect for the dangers that water can pose competitive elements without having to along the way. I would highly recommend commit fully to a club.

Individuality if you’re looking for a swimming There are a lot of people who start their school for your little one!” - Louise, parent.

DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS, based on the popular 1988 MGM film, takes us to the French Riviera for high jinks and hilarity.

Sophisticated, suave with a good dash of mischief, this hysterical comedy features a delightfully jazzy score by David Yazbek (The Full Monty) and was nominated for a staggering 11 Tony Awards.

Lawrence Jameson makes his lavish living by talking rich ladies out of their money in Beaumont sur Mer. Freddy Benson more humbly swindles women by waking their compassion with

fabricated stories about his grandmother’s failing health.

After meeting on a train, they attempt to work together only to find that this small French town isn’t big enough for the two of them.

They agree on a settlement: the first one to extract $50,000 from a young female target, heiress Christine Colgate, wins and the other must leave town. A hilarious battle of cons ensues that will keep audiences laughing, humming and guessing to the end!

Gardening Tips

On Your Plot Getting the upper hand Spring should really be on its way by the end of this month and there’ll be plenty of jobs to keep you busy on your plot.

There’s nothing quite like sowing seeds and the thrill of watching those first tiny seedlings appearing just a week or two later. Weather permitting the soil should be warm enough to be sowing outdoors in March. Your new seedlings will need all the help that you can give them if they are to flourish so don’t forget the weeding and pest control too!

Jobs for March :-

• Prepare beds for sowing by raking level when the soil is dry enough.

• Get a supply of containers and fill with compost ready for sowing (supermarket plastic trays containers are handy to reuse for this!)

• Make sure you have all the seeds you need and sort them into the order that you’ll sow them in.

• Plant first early potatoes later in the month.

• Keep on top of the weeding and pest control.

• Sow carrots, peas, parsnips, lettuce and radishes There’s no doubt that the weather during the first part of the year lived up to our expectations of a month of extremes - with mild temperatures and homes and gardens hammered by incredible rainfall. Hopefully March should see the weather settling down and Spring truly starting to emerge.

Most seed packets give you some guidelines as to which month/or months are best to sow in but personally I think that it’d be a lot more helpful if they gave a little information about the temperature required, not to mention just how long germination is likely to take. Soil temperatures of at least 6°C are needed for most seeds - if you don’t want to guess at this you can get a soil thermometer to check. Don’t forget that by using products such as fleece, or cloches, over your beds you can raise the temperature. Some seeds, such as parsnips, are notoriously slow to germinate taking up to 3 weeks for seedlings to appear - a good idea with slow starters like these is to sow quick growing crops such as radishes on either side of the row. This will

help mark the rows out until your parsnips appear and the radishes will quickly be grown and ready to harvest.

Take note also of the depth that the different seeds should be sown at - too shallow and they’ll either blow away or be eaten by the birds, too deep and you may bury them alive! Try to space seeds evenly, though if you sow too many you can thin out the weaker seedlings after they appear. Do remember that with many crops it is better to sow just a few and then sow again in a few weeks time to avoid having too many ready to harvest all at once. Salad crops such as lettuce will bolt if left too long, and other vegetables which may have a short harvesting period can be enjoyed for much longer if you save the seed and sow a few in succession every few weeks.

As the soil warms up for your new crops so it also warms up nicely for the weeds about now! For many people part of the attraction of growing your own is eating chemical free produce and organic methods of pest control will therefore be preferred.

Little and often is best - take a quick walk around the veg patch each morning and hand pick any emerging weeds. Hoeing also works well and if you are careful not to let weeds set seed you’ll avoid a long-term problem. Of course the situation isn’t helped by the fact that your patch is likely to have large amounts of bare soil on it between widely spaced rows at this time of year. Some crops, such as potatoes will obligingly grow to ultimately block out the light and deter weeds, but if you’re really having problems then think about putting down a thick, organic, mulch to cover the bare soil.

Slugs will also emerge to attack your young seedlings - there’s no end of organic ways to do battle from hand picking at night and beer traps to watering in nematodes. Strike early and gain the upper hand!

Food & Drink

Naturally good...

Apricot and passion fruit ‘flan de Queso’ with spiced roasted pears

Ingredients for 4-6 servings: For the flan 120ml full fat milk 240ml double cream 100g full fat cream cheese 2 free range eggs 8 large moist dried apricots 1 tbsp honey One passion fruit 2 tbsp lemon juice For the roasted pears 2 pears Pinch ground cinnamon Pinch ground ginger 1 tbsp unsalted butter

Ryan Turner, real food and low-carb chef - www.thefoodbible.com

1. Preheat the oven to 300F/150c.

2. Place the milk and dried apricots into a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Then remove from the heat and leave to rest for 20 minutes to let the apricots soak up some moisture and become plump.

3. Prepare the passion fruit by scraping out the seeds into a sieve above a bowl, use a metal spoon to scrape the seeds against the sieve to remove as much of the juice as possible, discard the seeds and add the juice to the mixture.

4. Place all of the ingredients for the flan into a blender and blitz on full speed for 2 minutes until all of the ingredients are well combined and smooth, pass this mixture through a sieve into a jug and then use this to fill 4 ramekins (or 6 ramekins if you want smaller portions).

5. Place the ramekins into a large roasting tray and pour in enough hot, but not boiling, water to come halfway up their outsides. (This is called a bain-marie or water bath).

6. Place the bain-marie onto the center shelf of the oven being careful not to spill any water into the ramekins which will ruin the flans (a tip to make life easier is to place the baking dish with the ramekins halfway into the oven before adding the water to the dish).

7. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the custards are just set but still a bit wobbly in the middle. Remove the ramekins from the water and set aside to cool to room temperature. Chill until needed for at least 3 hours but preferably overnight.

8. When you are ready to serve the flans, prepare the roasted pears. Peel, core and slice the pears and place onto a baking sheet. Sprinkle the pears with the ground ginger and cinnamon and add the butter. Place into a preheated oven at 350F/180c for approximately 20 minutes until the pears are soft and the edges are turning golden brown and caramelized.

9. Spoon the roasted pears on top of the flans and serve.
