Dear Hamworthy Residents, Wow what a busy few months we have had! Nellie has had an interesting start to 2016 which you can read all about on pages 26 and 27.

Did you make lots of New Year’s resolutions and are still successfully carrying them out? I do hope so. You may have decided to finally sort that space out once and for all, build a new conservatory, have a new carpet, sweep the chimney, see a new accountant or just have more meals out. Whatever it is for you, we are here to help. If there is a company you would like to recommend to us, or a club that needs some extra support or recognition, then do tell them about us.

I would also like to start a “Local Celebrity of the Month” page. This could be about anyone in fact, young or old, someone who has done some local charity work, has had an interesting career, has a great skill or talent, or a past family history of intrigue. I am very happy to come and interview the person myself, or the information could be sent in the post or by email. I really want to tell people’s stories. We love to hear about each other, read about people lives, interests and attainments, so please contact me if you know of someone, or you yourself would like me to come and meet you. You can “tell me all about it!” We will call the page “Local Celebrity – Tell me All About it!” I am really looking forward to meeting local people.

The lucky winner of the prize wordsearch last month was Helen Warren! Well done and we do apologise for the misspelling of socks. Hopefully you will enjoy your High Tea for Two at the Quayside Emporium and this will make up for the time you spent on the wordsearch!

Myself, Stephen, Hayden and Nellie would like thank you all for the support you continue to give to the magazine and the advertisers.

Best Wishes,

Debbie & Stephen Corney

Who Do You Think You Are? Researching ones family tree has become an increasingly popular hobby in recent years especially with several series of programmes like ‘Who Do You Think You Are’ and ‘Long Lost Families’ being screened on television. That is why Dorset Family History Society is once again hosting its biennial ‘Family History Day’ at Parkstone Grammar School, Soper’s Lane, Poole, BH17 7EP on Saturday 12th March 2016, from 10am until 4pm. Admission is free as is car parking in the school grounds.

Whether one has researched their family history or has just started on the trail of discovering their ancestors, this is an ideal event to visit. Attending will be Family History Societies from other counties, organisations involved with genealogy, and commercial firms selling aids to research and storage materials. Dorset Family History Society will have a Help Desk to give assistance, books and DVDs will be on sale, and volunteers will be available to help with access to Dorset Family History Society’s extensive resources for both Dorset and elsewhere.

As in our last Family History Day in 2014 the centennial of World War One will be commemorated by remembering some key events and our ancestors of the time. There will be two talks during the day

each costing £1 although numbers are limited. Guest speakers will be historian David Fletcher MBE who worked at the Tank museum in Bovington for many years and will focus his talk on the role of the Tank in WW1. Sarah Paterson will give her talk on women’s contribution to the war effort especially at home, something which affected every family in the land.

There is easy access within the venue and refreshments will be on sale throughout the day. Details are available on www.dorsetfhs.org.uk

Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile!

It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows.

The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services.

Manager Matt Stensel feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is 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 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps.

Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. 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. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’

Cloudy2Clear service Poole and the surrounding DUHD 0DWW LV ÀQGLQJ that his 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.’

So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Matt a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

Wildlife News

Talking about Wildlife...

Help us to record wildlife!

Can you remember the last time you saw a hedgehog? Or a robin? Did you used to see them, but perhaps not recently?

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. Not only did the records start flooding in, but so did your anecdotes about wildlife experiences, with many of you sharing your delight from a regular or occasional wildlife visitor in local patch.

DWT’s Great Heath Community Conservation Officer, Katie Wilkinson, is running the project for DWT: “Recording and looking for rare and common wildlife both nationally and locally is really important because it helps conservationists monitor declines in wildlife populations. Something that’s in abundance in 2015 might not be in 2020,

Blackbird ‘Turdus merula’ Photo: Ken Dolbear ���

Alert Fox

and these records could help identify trends to understand why this has happened, so we can all try to protect it in the future.”

Locally, DWT manages over 40 nature reserves across Dorset but it’s impossible to keep an eye on everything. “Wildlife doesn’t recognise boundaries,” said Katie. “It won’t just stay in nature reserves, it goes across the landscape and can come into people’s gardens and local green spaces, and that’s where everyone can help us. We are asking people to simply ‘look’ for wildlife – even if they’re in an urban space, towns and cities are thriving with interesting wildlife.”

So if you’re thinking: ‘that sounds great, but I can’t tell a pigeon from a wigeon’, there are plenty of places to get you started on your wildlife journey. Each month DWT publishes information about its chosen species to spot on the website (www.dorsetwildlifetrust. org.uk/wildlife) listing locations, identifying features, and pictures to help you. We’re starting off 2016 with the Fox for January, and Blackbird for February – start your new year being a bit wild.

David Bowie tribute night to aid local hospice charity Elite Living Club, which has been providing Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole’s residents with exclusive daily deals at local restaurants, spas, hotels, activities and health clubs since 2012, has joined forces with Bournemouth’s latest bar and live music venue, Canvas, to donate ticket revenue from a forthcoming David Bowie Tribute Night to Lewis-Manning Hospice in Poole.

Following the recent death from cancer of the music legend, the tribute night to David Bowie takes place Friday March 11th at trendy new bar and live entertainment venue, Canvas, on Poole Hill, Bournemouth. Show tickets are £8, with a £25 two course dinner and show option available too. Donations from ticket revenues are being distributed to Lewis-Manning Hospice by both Elite Living and Canvas and there will also be a bucket collection for the charity on the night. Lewis-Manning provides free care and support for local people with cancer and other life-limiting illnesses and this year will be opening its bedrooms for 24/7 care.

Joshua Simons (Elite Living founder) comments, “We are delighted to be hosting this event at one of B o u r n e m o u t h ’s premier venues, and are excited at the prospect of raising money for such a worthy local

cause, whilst celebrating the life of David Bowie, a true legend, with a high quality tribute show.”

Paul Tucker, Communications Officer at Lewis-Manning Hospice added, “We are absolutely delighted that both Canvas and Elite Living have agreed to support Lewis-Manning Hospice at the David Bowie tribute night. We initially approached Canvas with the idea of doing a bucket collection having seen many others across the world fundraising for cancer charities following Bowie’s death. We were naturally thrilled when they agreed but to then get Elite Living’s offer of proceeds from ticket sales on top and then for Canvas to match-fund it, we are utterly overwhelmed and incredibly grateful for their generosity. Many of our hospice patients are affected by cancer and our aim is to help them live well with their illness for however long that might be. Every single penny we raise will help us to make a huge difference to these people’s lives.”

Money Savnig Tips

Martin

LEWIS Winter Dust off your long johns, grab a cup of Bovril and snuggle up with my checklist to keep your costs down and the heat up.

1. Save £250+ on energy bills.

Winter is of course the highest-use energy period. So the key is to ensure you’re on the cheapest possible deal – that may be changing tariff with your existing provider, it may be switching.

The move across takes 17 days, so do it now to ensure you’re on the right deal before the cold snaps.

Those who worry about this, don’t – it’s the same pipes, gas, meter and safety, and you don’t lose supply. The only difference is price and customer service. But savings can be huge.

About 70% are on their provider’s standard tariff – across the big six this is an average of £1,095/year based on typical usage. Yet the cheapest open market’s deal is around £830 a year – that’s £260 a year saved, much of that in the winter months.

However, as your exact cheapest depends on what you use and where you live – to find out, always do a comparison. Just make sure you select ‘all tariffs’ on a comparison site. You can use my www.CheapEnergyClub.com which also gives switchers up to £30 cashback and then monitors you tariff after to check no one beats it, or any Ofgem.gov.uk approved comparison site.

2. Switch energy now and you could get £100s back.

If you pay by direct debit, it’s likely you’re in credit after the lowuse summer. Most providers give it back automatically, but if they don’t, call and ask. If you’ve switched in the past five years, your old supplier may still owe you too.

Asking for it back is simple and here’s a success to encourage you: “The balance owed to me from 17 months ago (which they never got back to me about) was £1,364.22. A brilliant result but I do feel an idiot for not knowing how much I’d overpaid, so I urge everyone to do the same as me and check.” – Col.escargot.

3. Are you entitled to any extra winter help?

Winter is a tough time for many as the cold sets in. But there are funds which may help… a. Winter fuel payments. If you were born on or before 5 January 1953 (and met other qualifying criteria throughout the week commencing 21 September 2015), you’re eligible for the up to £300 winter fuel payment. If you get certain benefits, eg, state pension, pension credit or jobseeker’s allowance, you’ll usually get it automatically – otherwise you may have to claim it. You do that by calling 03459 15 15 15. b. Cold weather payments. Anyone on certain benefits, eg, specific income support, jobseeker’s allowance, pension credit, gets £25 for every seven days where there are sub-

zero temperatures. It’s paid automatically from 1 November 2015. c. Choosing between heating and eating? If you’re seriously behind, or in general financial hardship, you may be eligible for special tariffs/help. Try the HomeHeatHelpline.org.uk on 0800 33 66 99.

4. Do you know where your water cock is?

Everyone should know where their main water off-switch is, otherwise known as a stopcock. Frozen pipe bursts create an average of £4k of damage, worse if you can’t find the off switch as your home floods. So if you don’t know, spend five minutes now finding out – typically it’s under the kitchen sink, in the boiler cupboard, or outside.

5. Full service car breakdown cover £41, basic for £16 – and if you’re renewing, haggle.

Problems are more likely in winter and the consequences are more severe. For breakdown, home start and onward travel cover, AutoAidBreakdown.co.uk charges £41/year, though if it sends a truck and driver you pay, then reclaim.

Or if you’ve got cover and are at renewal, haggle. In a recent poll I conducted, 84% of AA and 78% of RAC customers who tried got lower rates, like Graham did: “Thanks for the haggling advice.

Just spent five minutes on the phone to the RAC and got my renewal slashed from £252 to £151. Just over £100 for about five minutes’ work – that’ll do nicely!” Full help to do this in www.mse.me/breakdown For basic policies, buy through a cashback site like Topcashback. co.uk or Quidco.com and you can reduce the cost, eg, RAC basic is £27.99 a year and you get around £12 cashback, AA is a little more.

6. Free loft/cavity wall insulation, open to all.

Energy firms face sanctions if they don’t meet Eco quotas, so some, eg, British Gas.co.uk, EDFEnergy.com and Npower.com give free insulation to anyone in England, Scotland or Wales with a suitable home (you don’t have to be their customer or on a low income). If you paid for this commercially, it could cost around £700.

The savings can be huge. The Energy Saving Trust estimates you’ll see a reduction in bills of £300 a year compared with a typical uninsulated home. On average it takes 3-4 weeks to book a survey and a further two weeks for the insulation to be fitted (though it can take longer).

Adventures of Nellie

26

The Adventures of Nellie The Dorset Directories Camper Van Well I can safely say that Nellie is a girl of many talents and several personalities (isn’t that true of all of us girls?) She has been a café, a place of escape, a limousine, a bedroom, a kitchen, a reading room, a changing room, a bus for the boys, an office, a bargain hunter and even Santa’s sleigh at Christmas!

She has certainly been in her element these last couple of months and kept us very busy!

So much so that we had a fright a few weeks ago when she found herself in snow near East Grinstead! After a day of being parked in the freezing cold she refused to move, or at least her engine did start but she screamed out in pain and gusts of smoke flew from her nostrils. (It is one way we women can make a point...) I wasn’t there and when Stephen called me to say he was awaiting the RAC man, I was worried.

Nellie certainly isn’t as young as she used to be, has done a lot of running around, and her arthritis can get her down. Would she pull through? Would she get back on that motorway? Well, amazingly she did. The belt around her

Nellie & friends on the ghost walk in Poole

A spooky start outside Scaplen’s Court power steering had slipped and once back in place she stopped yelling and the smoke diminished.

Now can you believe it? As a result of this incident Nellie now has a friend, and one she is rather fond of. Stephen has bought himself a handsome car of steel, full of gusto and muscle (Nellie will have to watch herself). It is a Mazda RX8, silver and definitely has charm.

Mighty Rex we have named him! The excuse for buying the car was to help Nellie. Ummmm... After all she is getting on and since we were thinking all those awful thoughts of which home would we put her in, how would we tell her etc etc, it seemed a good solution all round.

Nellie has now had a rest for a week in the garden but will still be taking us for many a trip here in the South. Like a lot of us older ladies, there is life in her yet.

(Especially now she has Mighty Rex to share the garden with...)

Our highlight recently was an expedition to Poole - “Granny Cousins Ghost Walk of Old Town Poole”! Why Nellie decided to take us to Poole on a cold winter’s evening is questionable but

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

27 ladies do sometimes have the oddest of ideas at times.... as most men will tell you. Michele O’Brien who took Nellie with twenty adults and children for this haunting walk is delightful! She combines her experience in theatre, dance, storytelling, pre-school work and choreography to guide you on a fascinating, if at times scary look at our old fishing port. Nellie was indeed scared, and jumped a few times when Granny Cousins screamed out as if possessed by a bygone figure.

Poole has a lot of history and it was intriguing to hear all the different stories.

The walk started at Scaplen’s Court which has the smallest doors in town!

Boy have we grown since those times.

There is no way Nellie would get in.

Previously known as The George Inn during the Civil War it possibly housed Parliamentary troops so I bet the walls could tell a story or two! Certainly the story of Agnes Beard, the maid who was murdered there, sent a chill down Nellie’s chassis. A little further on near The King Charles Pub there is a tiny gaol, which was arresting... The pub itself has a story of a young girl who fell in love with a sailor boy. The night he was to return there was a huge storm and many ships capsized leaving their poor crew to battle against the cold, dark waters.

Nellie with Mighty Rex in the gardem

Michele O’Brien as Granny Cousins The lover did not return and sure he was dead, the young maiden hung herself from the rafters of the pub.... (did you really want to hear this?) No time later the handsome young sailor returned, to find his true love was gone. It is said that she can still be seen from time to time in the roof room of The King Charles. I am sure for those who want to believe, this could be true.

For Nellie she decided it was a very sad story and wondered if she would be that overwhelmed if Mighty Rex now left her… Anyway, back to the evening which really was rather good. The sky was clear, there was little wind and despite heavy rain earlier in the day, there was not a drop in sight. It was perfect for a spine chilling evening. If you want to contact Michele and learn lots about Poole and its spellbinding history I am sure she would love to hear from you. You can contact Michele on 07977 969080 or look at her website which is www.micheleobrien.co.uk. Do mention Nellie if you talk to her!

Nellie hopes you have started 2016 with lots of excitement as she has done. She is looking forward to telling you more about her exploits in the next issue of The Poole Directory.

Where will she take us next…?

Emporium craft evening raises funds for charity What a wonderful community spirited evening Joanne and Sandie set up at The Quayside Emporium in Poole last month! It was all in aid of The Children’s Variety Club, Wessex Branch.

The evening raised £350 for the charity which helps children with disabilities and disadvantages that stop a child from fulfilling his or her potential, whatever it may be. The Variety Club takes the time to fully understand each child’s individual problems and needs and then help them the best way they can to improve each young life. That’s how the donations are used. You can visit the website at www.variety.org.uk to find out more.

The highlight of the evening was the fashion show! Local people modeling the many scarves, shawls, ponchos, capes and handbags was great to see.

The atmosphere was really good. Here are a few photos for you...

All can be purchased at the Quayside Emporium, which is full of delightful crafts, gifts, paintings, toys, memorabilia, jewelry and clothes. You can sit and have a coffee and cake in between all the shopping, so I highly recommend it.

Why not fill in the prize wordsearch here in The Poole Directory...you may win a High Tea for Two! It is delicious. I should know, I tried one last week with friends.

I would like to say a big Congratulations to all who set up this really successful evening. There were around 70 local people who came out in support of the charity and to take a look at all the special gifts on offer. The raffle was well received and I won a gorgeous golden shawl! I had my eye on it all night and couldn’t believe it when my number came up and the shawl was still there to be chosen. Amazing!

Well done Joanne, Sandie and your team!

Gardening Tips

On Your Plot Now is the time to go undercover It’s still pretty chilly during February but planting seedlings under glass (or plastic) can give you a great start for the season ahead. A bit of time and money invested now in a polytunnel or greenhouse will give you benefits for years to come.

Can’t wait for Spring to come? There are plenty of vegetables that can be started off indoors now.

Jobs for February:-

• Erect a cold frame, polytunnel or greenhouse • Plant out onion sets • Sow tomatoes indoors • Chit seed potatoes • Sow early beetroot and summer cabbages • Plant soft fruit bushes The days are getting a little longer, green shoots are starting to appear and we’re all just itching to get out in the garden now. Just one problem - it’s still likely to be blooming cold!

Extremes in weather are typical for this month so even if we do have a warmer spell I wouldn’t be in too much of a hurry to start sowing seeds outdoors. It’s at this time of year that having some undercover growing space is a real boon not least because it’s so much more of a pleasure working in a protected environment, basking in the glory of those few rays of sun, than it is feeling a gale force wind that seems as it if’s come straight from the arctic! If you don’t have a greenhouse, polytunnel or cold frame then why not think about investing in one now? Get it built in February and you can get a head start on many plants for the season to come.

Which is best? Consider the space available - if space is limited then a cold frame, may be a good option. Green houses can offer lots of benefits but are generally not a great idea if your garden is also the kids play area and they can be hugely expensive. On the plus side, they are not easy to get rid of so if you’re prepared for a bit of work

you may be able to pick up a second-hand one very cheaply providing you are happy to dismantle and move it yourself (try free cycle). We opted for a polytunnel, which was very reasonable in price and gave us several weekends of entertainment building it. Follow the instructions carefully, don’t rush it and you’ll need at least 2 of you when it comes to putting the plastic on.

With both greenhouses and polytunnels you need to remember that they can become very hot in the summer and ensure that adequate ventilation is available.

So, now that you have this great new space what can you plant in it? Early tomatoes can be started off in pots and if you plant some summer cabbages now you can get them established and benefit from a crop by late spring or early summer.

Cucumbers, beetroot, leeks and lettuces can also be sown indoors and if you want to try something a little more exotic why not plant some peppers, aubergines and even a melon?

This is also a good month to think about soft fruit.

Most fruit bushes, trees and canes need time to get established before you start to get a good yield and it is easy to overlook them in favour of crops that give a quicker return.

If you don’t have any fruit growing on your plot how about adding just one type of fruit each year? You could plant raspberry canes this month, or incorporate a gooseberry or blackcurrant bush into your border. If you have pot grown strawberries that have spent the winter indoors then place them outside as they will only flower after exposure to cold weather. Plants that have over wintered outside can be brought in now.

Celebrating the best of British wildlife photography Seahorses off Studland and a butterfly near Lulworth feature in the British Wildlife Photography Awards (BWPA) exhibition at Moors Valley Country Park near Ringwood until 28 February.

With 16 categories, including a special film category (Wildlife in HD), the Awards showcase the very best of nature photography and raise awareness about biodiversity, British species and their habitats.

Filmed in Dorset, the video, ‘The Last Seahorse in Studland?’ carried off top prize in the special Wildlife in HD category. Shot by Andy Jackson and written and narrated by Jackie Daly, their idea to film the life cycle of seahorses off the Dorset coast turned into a plea to help the species after only one seahorse was sighted despite expert assistance.

The Dorset coast also features in the competition’s Habitat category with Richard Bromley Gardner’s stunning image of a Large White butterfly in flight over cliffs looking out to St Oswalds Bay near Lulworth.

Established in 2009, the highly-acclaimed BWPA exhibition attracts thousands of entries celebrating the beauty and diversity of British wildlife. This year’s overall winner offers a unique insight into the habitat and behaviour of gannets. Taken by Barrie Williams, his image, ‘On the Edge’ features gannets on a cliff in the Shetland Isles and won the Habitat category as well as taking the overall winner’s title.

Moors Valley is one of a handful of locations to host the BWPA national touring exhibition.

Countryside Ranger, Katie Davies said, “The British Wildlife Photography Awards recognise the talents of photographers across the UK whilst also celebrating the immense beauty and vitality of our indigenous wildlife. These stunning images really are the best of the best and Moors Valley is privileged to be the only venue chosen to host this important national exhibition on the south coast.”

Poul Christensen, Chair of Natural England, said: “The amazing images that have been captured

for the British Wildlife Photography Awards are a great showcase of the wildlife wonders that exist in this country. I’d like to congratulate all of the entrants for the exceptionally high quality of their images - extraordinary pictures of our rarest animals sit alongside uniquely beautiful shots of the wildlife on our doorstep.”

The British Wildlife Photography Awards exhibition opens daily in the Visitor Centre at Moors Valley Country Park. It is free to view.

Parking charges apply. For more information go to www.moors-valley.co.uk or call the Rangers on 01425 470721.

The 2016 British Wildlife Photography Awards opens for entries on 1 February. Details can be found at www.bwpawards.org.
