Dear Residents, Well we needed some rain but I think we got more than we bargained for! I’d like a little sunshine again now. I think you will agree.

You can take advantage of 50% off in May at the Oceanarium (see page 6) or you would like to get out and about for free… then perhaps a spot of “treasure hunting” is more up your street! (See pages 26 & 27 for details.) There are bound to be jubilee celebrations coming up in your area, so do keep an eye out for locations where you can go and join in.

I am also looking for local people’s celebrations so that we can all wish you Happy Birthday, Happy Anniversary or drool over the photo of your new baby. See page 24 for the data on this. It will be a new feature in our next issue and could be a great way to wish someone a Happy Day! Also if you have a group or club you would like everyone to know more about please email your data to us. There may be many people who would love to know about you or can give some help. If you have done something good or really worth while I can also promote that for you too. We all like to hear good news! If you have any suggestions or ideas for these pages then please let me know.

In the meantime do keep our advertisers busy. They like that. Many are very happy with all the calls they get from you. The Bournemouth Directory is definitely a great way to link local people and trades people together.

There are tickets to Save The Last Dance For Me on up for grabs in the prize wordsearch this month!

Wishing you a great month of May...and may the sun shine! Best Wishes,

Debbie

Meet your aquatic neighbours for half the price during May With the London Olympics and the Queen's Jubilee just around the corner, 2012 is very much the year for celebrating all things British and all our country has to offer. As such, there has never been a better time for discovering great days out found right on your doorstop and for the whole of May the Oceanarium, the Bournemouth Aquarium, winner of Bournemouth Tourism’s Tourist Attraction of the Year 2012, is offering local residents the opportunity to do so for half price!

Ideally located beside Bournemouth’s beautiful beach, Britain’s number one beach as recently voted by Trip Advisor, the Oceanarium not only provides a fun experience for visitors of all ages, it is educational and offers surprises galore!

• Did you know that the Oceanarium is home to almost 1500 creatures and 300 different species?

• Did you know that the Oceanarium is celebrating the 1st Birthday of ‘Otter Oasis’ - a naturally themed habitat home to Roxy and Stan, two cute but cheeky oriental small clawed otters, launched in May 2011.

• Did you know that the Oceanarium is home to the world’s first virtual Interactive Dive Cage allowing visitors to discover more about great white sharks and a blue whale without getting wet?

• Did you know that the Oceanarium is owned by Spanish leisure operator, Parques Reunidos, which at present encompasses over 60 theme and water parks, zoos, aquariums and cable car experiences across the world, including UK attractions, Blackpool Zoo and Lakes Aquarium in Cumbria.

BD May 2012.pub page 6

• Did you know that the Oceanarium raised over £4,000 for conservation charities during 2011.

Oceanarium Marketing and PR Manager Sara Kirchel said; 'We believe that there are many local people who possibly haven’t ever visited the Oceanarium and don't realise how much we have on offer - and we are right on their doorstep! Every now and again we receive visitor feedback from local residents who say; 'I don’t know why I never visited before,' and that during their visit we have exceeded their expectations. So, through the month of May, we are offering half price entry to all BH postcode residents to come and enjoy all the Oceanarium has to 'sea' and do. With all-day tickets, visitors can stroll around the waters of the world, relax and refuel in the contemporary Offshore Cafe, and then watch any of the nine daily feeding demonstrations to sea, learn and explore even more about the award winning aquarium's fascinating residents.'

The Oceanarium is open seven days a week, from 10am. Call 01202 311993 or go online to www.oceanarium.co.uk for additional information.

Immerse yourself for less this May

Are Your Friends and Family Making You Fat? Do you find it very hard to say no to the cream cake, glass of wine or extra helping of your favourite that you’re offered by a well-meaning friend or family member?

Getting healthy through diet and exercise creates welcome changes in your life. But your friends and family can be oblivious, jealous, and uncomfortable with this.

Perhaps: they feel guilty at not working like you to lose weight or they’ve never had a weight problem and so don’t understand or they just miss the old you.

Try the following: Just say “No

BD May 2012.pub page 10

thanks” and leave it at that, you don’t need to explain yourself. Or take the food and leave it on the plate. Look for patterns in your food diary, then develop ways of dealing with the problem areas.

Be a grown up, remember that what you put in your mouth is your responsibility. Best of all talk to them and tell them why your diet is important to you and ask for their help.

Find a supportive environment, you can see a great example at Women's Workout just call 01202 488482 to find out more.

Talking about wildlife with

Red Squirrels Britain's only native, the red squirrel, has seen its population on a steady decline. It is estimated that as few as 140,000 live in Britain as opposed to the 2.5 million greys.

These squirrels are typically distinguished by their long, bushy tails, ear tufts and russet red fur. However, the colour of their fur can range from black to red, causing confusion in identification. The colour of an individual may also vary with the time of year, as thicker winter coats appears darker. The fur on a red squirrel’s belly is always white.

Reds are smaller and more delicate than their grey brothers. Their bodies measure between 19 and 23cm and their tails are between 15 and 20cm. There is little difference between the sexes, making it difficult to distinguish between males and females.

Sciurus (Latin for ‘squirrel’), are nimble creatures and spend the majority of their time in the treetops. They live in a range of habitats, from conifer forests to broadleaf woodlands. Look out for their large nests (dreys), which consist of twigs, moss, grass and soft hair. They may appear in the forks and hollows of trees.

The diet of these rodents consists of seeds - they love the seeds in conifer cones - as well as fungi, nuts, shoots and berries. They forage for food throughout the year and will create stores in the gr ou nd du ri n g a u tum n t o pr epar e themselves for winter.

The mating season begins in February and March, at which point reds may be spotted chasing one another through the trees. Red squirrels tend to produce their young in the spring. A second litter may follow in the summer. Females usually

BD May 2012.pub page 12

have 2-3 kittens, but can have up to 6.

These are born after 45-48 days.

Their survival in England is threatened primarily by the grey squirrel, which competes for their food and also carries the squirrel pox virus. Greys are largely unaffected by squirrel pox, but it is lethal for reds. In southern England, red squirrels can be found only on the Isle of Wight and on the islands of Poole Harbour, especially Dorset Wildlife Trust’s Brownsea Island nature reserve, on the National Trust owned island, which is now open daily to visitors until November.

For more information about Brownsea Island nature reserve or to adopt a red squirrel and help with conservation of their habitat, go online to our website at dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk or ring 01305 264620.

Storage Problems?

Easy Solutions!

Most people would agree that they always need more storage space than they have, but cannot do anything about it. However, sometimes the storage space is available, but because of the way a room is furnished, it is easy to lose this valuable space.

Free standing wardrobes can waste a lot of storage area, as well as creating a dust trap on the top, and who really wants to spend time vacuuming the top of a wardrobe!!

Because fitted furniture incorporates every inch of space into useful storage, you don’t lose any valuable storage areas and you don’t have any open tops to collect dust.

It doesn’t matter how small or awkward the space is. At Custom World, your furniture is completely custom made, which means our Designer will work with you to create your unique storage solution which will fit perfectly in your room.

You can complement your fitted wardrobes with bedside units and chests of drawers all made to whatever size you require and you can choose from a wide variety of designs and colours.

Your furniture will be manufactured by our team of skilled joiners and fitted by our professional team of in-house fitters.

So if you are fed up with wasted space, telephone us on 01202 896816 to arrange for one of our Designers to visit you for a free, no-obligation appointment. You can discuss ideas and get a quote without any pressure.

Many of our satisfied customers tell us they had not considered fitted furniture before because they thought it would be too expensive. They are surprised at the amount of storage you can get at a very affordable price – we are sure you will be too!

Shelley Manor - The home of quality dental care Shelley Manor Medical Centre opened in October 2010 in the early 19th century former home of the Sir Percy Florence Shelley, son of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley and Mary Shelley, author of Frankenstein. It is one of the oldest documented buildings in Bournemouth and having lain derelict for many years has been beautifully refurbished to accommodate the Shelley Manor Medical Centre.

Shelley Manor Dental provides a complete range of preventative, restorative and cosmetic dentistry services for patients of all ages and for families.

At Shelley Manor Dental they believe in preventative conservative dentistry. Dr Tim Doyle says, “The best solution to tooth decay and gum disease is to prevent it in the first place. If we must cut teeth to repair them then we believe in preserving as much of the healthy tooth tissue as possible. We take a long term view so the more tooth

structure that can be preserved today, the more teeth we have to work with 20 years down the line should further treatment be necessary.�

At Shelley Manor Dental they appreciate the importance of an attractive smile to patients and offer high quality full mouth restorations including veneers and implants, and cosmetic treatments such as teeth whitening and contouring.

Additionally Dr Tim Doyle's area of special interest is neuromuscular dentistry and the treatment of temporo-mandibular joint disorder (i.e. jaw joint & "bite" problems), which can also be an underlying cause of chronic headache.

She lle y M a nor D e nta l i s cu rr en tly registering new patients, both private and Denplan. They are located on the first floor above the pharmacy. There is plenty of free parking available and lift access for those who require it.

BY LAURENCE MARKS & MAURICE GRAN

From the writers, producers, creators and director of the huge success that is Dreamboats and Petticoats, Save the Last Dance for Me will take you back through the ‘music and magic’ of the early 60’s, a time when each passing week brought another Rock ‘n’ Roll classic.

Written by Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran (Goodnight Sweetheart, Birds of a Feather, Shine on Harvey Moon), featuring the unmistakable music of Doc Pomus & Mort Shuman, and with authentic recreation of the sound of Rock ‘n’ Roll, this nostalgic, feel-good journey will transport you back to music’s golden era as we follow two teenage sisters through the summer of ‘63.

For the first time without their parents, the siblings embark on a ho li da y to the s ea si de. F ull o f freedom and high spirits they meet a ha ndso me yo ung Ameri ca n who invites them to a dance at the local U.S. Air force base... But young love and holiday romance is never as simple as it sounds, and the sisters soon realise that while the world around them is still watching itself in black and white, life and love can be much more colourful.

Finding Hidden Treasure in Dorset If you have never heard of “geocaching” before and you like walking, or you have children that you would like to get out of the house and get some fresh air, then this is definitely something you will like.

What’s more is it is free! All you need is a GPS device which you can buy from Argos, Amazon or local outdoor equipment stockists for example, or you maybe able to use your phone for which you can get an App. You then go online to www.geocaching.com where it is free to register. There are literally thousands of walks that people have added and they are in practically every area you can think of across the country (and even abroad!).

Now, this is not just an ordinary walk… there is treasure to find! Well actually it is a box of trinkets into which people have put all sorts of little things. It could be a large ‘cache’ (meaning hiding place especially of hidden goods, treasure) or a tiny something to find. The idea of the walk is to find the treasure. It is ideal for children who would otherwise severely object to even the thought of walking!

Hayden, our son always responds with a

Building up the energy to set forth!

BD May 2012.pub page 26

Some spectacular views along the coast big “Yeah!” when I say we are all going out to do a geocache. He doesn’t even look at me if I say I want to go out for a walk! There are two types of geocache… one that just gives you the coordinates to get somewhere and you follow that until you find it. At the end of the ‘hunt’ you are given a clue to find the treasure. The second type is good for younger children as it gives lots of clues and there are lots of questions as you go along. This is called a multi cache. We like those the best.

Every ten minutes or so there is a question about where you are. You need to answer the question to get the coordinates to be able to carry on. At the finale you get a clue to find a hidden box or similar object, often containing a little book to write your name in or a comment and then you can exchange a little trinket for something you want to leave behind.

All great fun! Free and it gets us out of the house, enjoying the English country side, seaside, forest, in fact anywhere and everywhere.

Recently Stephen and I went with a group of friends and my sister to Swanage and

did three geocaches starting at Durlston Country Park. A lovely cup of coffee and a piece of cake overlooking the fantastic British coastline set us off on the right foot. It was absolutely gorgeous, blue sky, blue sea and perfect temperature. I really enjoyed the whole day. What is funny, is seeing adults getting very competitive about finding the ‘cache’ first! There was a buzz of excitement as each of us rummaged through the undergrowth to find the treasure. At the last cache, after walking for over an hour, my sister and I decided to sit and take in the amazing view and let the others ‘fight for their supremacy’. We sat on a very comfortable rock and relaxed. After 10 minutes or so watching our friends busy hunting I was sitting on it all the time! or old, fit or not so fit. You can even create your own for others to follow, once you get the hang of it. Why not do one yourself and send me some photos for us to print in the magazine for you? I would love to hear how you get on.

Happy Hunting!

Best Wishes, Debbie Corney It has got to be here… somewhere??? around, Sue laughed and said it would be funny if we were sitting on the cache. She casually put her hand down, into a small crevice in the rock and pulled out the box!

We couldn’t believe it, it was very funny… though I am not sure all of the others thought it was as funny as we did…

You can see some photos of our day. I highly recommend geocaching. It is definitely something you should try young
