Celebrating Bournemouth’s Trolley Buses On 25th July 1902 the first trams ran between the Lansdowne and Pokesdown. By 1905 trams ran from Poole to Christchurch. This was the longest tram route in Southern England, outside London - 11 miles.

In 1933 four trolley buses were hired to run from the Square to Westbourne on experiment. Then in 1934, 102 Sunbeam trolley buses were ordered, the largest fleet of one make in any municipality. The number 25 ran from Westbourne to Boscombe. Other routes were added in the following year.

The turntable in Christchurch, built on a former stable yard, was completed in 1936 at a cost of £380.

It was in use for 33 years and can still be seen! It was manually operated.

For 53 years Bournemouth generated its own electricity for traction. Eventually it was the only municipality to do so.

On Sunday 9th June 2019 a Bus Rally is being held in King’s Park. It is hoped that an original trolley bus will come to this rally, but the cost is £3000 to bring it. Donations would be gratefully received to help this occur. For more information contact bournemouthbusrally@outlook.com.

There will be free entry to the rally, free rides and stalls.

To commemorate 20th June 1969 when the last trolley buses ran in a procession, Keith Burbridge has made a model based on a mobility scooter, which you can see in the photo below.

At the launch of the 2019 BIG Sleep Easy, YMCA Bournemouth urges businesses to get involved, make a difference... and not to be afraid to shout about it In March, local charity YMCA Bournemouth held an evening function at Tiien Restaurant in Bournemouth to launch their annual sponsored ‘rough sleeping’ event: the Big Sleep Easy.

This year’s event, which will involve teams from local organisations braving the cold to sleep outside for a night to raise funds and awareness of homelessness, will take place at Bournemouth Sports Club (Chapel Gate) on Saturday 16 November.

At the launch event, around 40 representatives of local businesses and organisations who had expressed an interest in taking part in this year’s Big Sleep Easy gathered at the popular Thai restaurant to enjoy a buffet sponsored by Lester Aldridge solicitors. The company had been enthusiastic participants at last year’s event and emerged as its most successful fundraisers.

Matthew Barrow, Managing Partner at Lester Aldridge, said: “We all found it incredibly tough. It gave us a tiny glimpse of how hard it must be as a way of life. Homelessness is something that could happen to anyone and we

are happy we are able to support such a worthwhile and effective project. If you are considering taking part this year, we’d really encourage you to do so – we’ll certainly be there!”

Attendees at the launch watched a video of the 2018 Big Sleep Easy which showed teams building cardboard shelters – some practical and others, such as one with vape smoke emerging from its chimney, distinctly curious – before wrapping up warm and settling down for the night. It conveyed the overwhelming positivity and camaraderie of an event that saw 98 participants raise a record-breaking £25,000.

Speakers on Friday included individuals who had themselves experienced homelessness and the one-to-one support services provided by YMCA Bournemouth.

The audience sat quietly as they heard about the difference the charity had made to their lives.

If you’re interested in finding out more about the Big Sleep Easy, please visit www.ymcabournemouth.org.uk/event/ the-big-sleep-easy-2019/ or contact Sheena Dayman at fundraising@ ymcabournemouth.org.uk or 07824 333505.

Talking about Wildlife...

Help with the health of heathland We all think of heathland as being either glorious (when the sun is shining on it) or wonderfully bleak (when lashed by wind and rain). But whatever the weather, we invariably think of heathland as being tough a sort of resilient and indestructible place. But in actual fact heathland is fragile. This is because heathland is largely occupied by heathers, and heathers are unusual and fussy plants.

To start with, heathers are ‘dwarf shrubs’. This means that like all shrubs they are woody and brittle and so can be easily snapped. But unlike other shrubs they are low growing and thus very liable to be stepped on, when, unsurprisingly, they do not bend, but snap off. This is why heathers readily die when walked over, and new bare paths are so readily formed where they were not present before.

And then heathers are ‘oligotrophic’.

This means that they only do well where the ground is poor in nutrients.

When the ground is poor they hold their own against plants that like it rich, but when the ground becomes Heather

rich, those other plants win the day.

Dog poo, left to decompose naturally, makes the ground nutrient rich. This is why heathers are so easily ousted by lush green grasses and herbs alongside paths where dog poo is left.

When we go out on our seemingly tough old heathlands, we should remember that appearances can be deceptive and that actually, like other old things, they are rather on the fragile side. So, keeping to existing main paths, even when a tad muddy, stops the heath becoming criss-crossed by many new ones (and makes it less likely that we will disturb those rare ground nesting birds in summer). And always picking up and removing dog poo helps to prevent those main paths becoming lined by widening bands of non-heathland (and avoids the health hazard which is just as relevant here as in formal open spaces). If we want our heaths to continue to provide for our needs, we do need to be aware of theirs.

Hearing Loss and the link to mental health You have no doubt seen articles about how the latest hearing aid will allow you to ‘hear as you did 20 years ago’, but is this real or clever marketing?

The truth: Our hearing system is not just how our ears detect a sound but a sequence of events that allow us to translate vibrations into what we recognise as speech, music or any other signal we often take for granted.

One of the biggest factors is how our brains translate messages received from our ears. The brain should be retrained with rehabilitation as much as support from a device such as a Hearing Aid. Research proves that someone with a hearing impairment can experience a 30% increased decline in brain function when compared with someone who hears normally. Partly due to social isolation, but also due to lack of sound stimulation. A case of ‘use it or lose it!’

Simon Cowell of Clarity Hearing Solutions commented;

“Identifying hearing loss early and taking action can increase the brain function through stimulation, significantly reducing the speed of Cognitive Decline.”

“The hearing device selected is hugely important, how it is calibrated and how you are rehabilitated however is arguably the biggest factor.”

“We encourage regular hearing checks and taking action as soon as a loss is discovered.”

Clarity Hearing offer FREE hearing tests at a number of hearing centres across Dorset.

Wills, Property Protection Trusts and Lasting Power of Attorneys We discuss the difference between legal professionals and the benefits of home visits for clients.

We are often asked what is the advantage of using a member of the Society of Will Writers and Estate Planning Practitioners (SWW) over a more conventional high street solicitor.

There are many good reasons, here are just a few: 1. Members of SWW are fully trained specialists in the field of will writing and estate planning. All have professional indemnity insurance, are regulated and adhere to the SWW code of practice.

2. Members also provide clients with the convenience of attending them in their own home and at a time that is suitable.

3. Taking instructions in the privacy of the client’s home is not only about convenience. In the absence of such a

service many people who need a Will or Power of Attorney’s would go without if they were housebound, elderly or frail and could not get to a high street solicitor.

As a member of SWW, Dorset & Wight Wills has a totally transparent pricing policy.

Our prices are clearly shown in all our adverts and we will send you a full pricelist with confirmation of your FREE home visit appointment.

We offer various packages to make the whole process of getting your affairs in order both simple and cost effective.

It is estimated that 67% of people in the UK do not have a Will or Lasting Power of Attorney in place. With almost 1 million people living with dementia and the total growing yearly, perhaps now is the time to call Dorset & Wight Wills on 01202 065953 or 01983 623900.

Do you want to protect your family and loved ones?

The Adventures of Daichi

The Adventures of Daichi

The Dorset Directories Camper Van “Daichi, The Dashing Dude” has finally made it! The NEW Dorset Directories Campervan has travelled across barren land and rough seas to get here. All the way from Japan, just to be with us. We love him! He is pearly white and is still wearing his posh kimono. Nellie had long skirts to cover up her rather large thighs, whereas Daichi likes to think he is rather sophisticated, debonair, and has an eye for the girl vans.

In fact, “The Dashing Dude” as we have nicknamed him, is a play on words as he believes he is good looking, stylish and fashionable. It is all part of his charm.

He also loves to run around and have fun. So, dashing he is, and otherwise known as “Dash” to his friends. Daichi is his official Japanese name, (dai) meaning “big, great” combined with (chi) meaning “wisdom, intellect”. As Daichi is full of himself and a little over confident, this seems rather appropriate. He even speaks Japanese when we switch on his purring, seductive engine. “Ha Dor!” and other words I have yet to discover the meaning of, he expels in a rather high pitched, very cute voice. (Don’t tell him I

Daichi at Portland Bill

Daichi gets the thumbs up! said that, boys do not like it.)

We hope you like reading about his exploits and antics as he whisks us to exciting places around England and particularly here on the Southern Coast.

Here’s to having some family fun…

Our first trip was to Portland just along the coast from Weymouth. We had never been there before, and boy were we lucky with the weather. Dash was extremely happy. So were we. We climbed all the 165 muscle tasking steps up the Portland Bill lighthouse. What views from the top! Currently there is the amazing huge magnifying lamp which shines across the English Channel to warn our ships at sea of potential danger. The lamp will soon be replaced by a more modern system of LED lights.

Sad really, but times move on as we all know too well.

The majestic lighthouse demanding attention on the clifftop also has that eerie foghorn sound which haunts the waves in times of fog. There have indeed been a massive 113 shipwrecks along this coast, due to its shallow reefs and the strong Portland tidal race.

Daichi decided to keep his nifty wheels firmly fixed on the solid ground.

29 A meal overlooking the crystal blue sea was a well-deserved treat after all that climbing. The café was a welcome sight.

We ate outside!

Portland of course is famous for its Portland Stone. Dash, knowing what boys are like and having empathy with Hayden our 15 year old active teenager arranged a “Geo Cache” hunt for us to do. Geo Caching is a modern-day treasure hunt. There are hundreds of walks you can find online. Some are still free, but there is now a small charge of around £20 for the year for the keener walkers. It is a fun way to follow coordinates and eventually find a box (the treasure!). The stones enroute, carved by artists, were quite amazing.

A Falling man, chairs, hearths, octopus, bear, a whale and lots more. My favourite was the mythical Portland Dog Beast, the Roy Dog. Carved by Damien Briggs, this beast has fiery eyes, one green, one red and it was said that he lived in the Cave Hole where he would drag any travellers passing by, into its watery hideout. Brrr…. It even has the eyes of its victims embedded into its stony fur. Daichi is beginning to wonder about us Brits… We love our legends don’t we.

Another way to explore our incredible homeland are Treasure Trails. Again, available online to buy at just £6.99

Daichi helps us to find the “treasure”

The Roy Dog in Tout Quarry Park per walk. Daichi chose the Pirates Graveyard one for us. (Is he trying to tell us something?). This was an intriguing walk along the coast and through the graveyard with skull and crossbones engraved in the stones. Contrary to popular belief, these are not pirates’ graveyards, but just images to ward off the evil spirits in the afterlife. The cove we passed, Church Ope, was gorgeous.

We would love to go back there.

There are stunning views from all over Portland. It really is a fantastic place to visit. It has seen busier times, with the Naval Base and the famous 18 mile long Chesil Beach where the American troops embarked on their journey to Nazi occupied France in the second World War. My Dad aged 83 told me that he, his Mum and sister regularly travelled to Portland all the way from Hull to see his Dad who was stationed there in the Royal Navy.

He remembered a day when a German plane was flying down the coast, being fired at by our anti-aircraft guns from the beach. The exploding shells got closer and closer, until the plane dived and escaped! Today it is a gorgeous stretch of pebbled beach with crashing waves and wonderful sunsets.

Daichi is ecstatic to be here with us.

He thoroughly enjoyed his first trip and is very excited about where he will transport us to next… where will that be?

Join Cakes4Cancer and raise dough for local people living with cancer If baking tickles your (fondant) fancy, Wessex Cancer Trust, would love you to host a Cakes4Cancer event this May and raise dough for local people living with cancer.

Rolling out across the entire Wessex region throughout May, Cakes4Cancer is a really simple way to come together with friends, family or colleagues and ‘bake’ a difference by asking for a donation in return for a cuppa and cake.

Maria Tidy, Wessex Cancer Trust’s Community Engagement Manager, said: “We’re passionate about community at Wessex Cancer Trust, and believe everyone living with cancer should be able to get free and local emotional support whenever they need it. Cakes4Cancer is all about people coming together to enjoy something delicious for a great

cause. Your event can be as big or small as you want. You could put on a coffee morning at work, host an afternoon tea with friends or invite neighbours to come along to a bake sale. Whether it’s faked or baked, every cake sold could help change someone’s life for the better. It really is a piece of cake.”

The charity has put together a free kit containing everything you need to host your own event, including a tablecloth, balloons, posters, cake toppers, game ideas and recipe cards. Sign up at www. wessexcancer.org.uk/forms/ cakes4cancer-pack.

Wessex Cancer Trust is a charity dedicated to providing practical and emotional support to anyone living with cancer in Hampshire, Wiltshire, Dorset and the Isle of Wight, and in 2018 helped over 11,000 people throughout Wessex.

Gardening Tips

On Your Plot Courgettes

There are not many vegetables that are as rewarding,.and.easy.to.grow,.as.courgett.es...

Now.is.a.great.ti.me.to.get.them.started,. they’ll pop up quickly and soon be supplying you.with.more.tasty.courgett.es.than.you. know what to do with!

Jobs for May :-

• Keep on earthing up your potatoes to prevent the tubers from turning green.

• If you’re planted peas don’t forget that they’ll need some support from sticks or netting that they can climb up.

• With snow in April you’ll probably need to catch up with sowing crops that it was too cold for last month.

• As the risk of frost passes, tender crops such as tomatoes or peppers can either be planted out, or on into grow bags.

• Start winter greens such as cabbages, sprouting broccoli and Brussels sprouts in a seedbed for transplanting to their final positions later.

If you’ve lost seedlings or had trouble getting them started with all the cold weather don’t forget that you can always buy plants that have already been started. Buying young plants in is a great way to experiment with different varieties too - with so many types of tomato available it’s more fun to have several plants, each of different kinds, than half a dozen all the same. There’s a good plant stand at the monthly farmers market, and several garden centres or local growers nearby.

May is the time to start off that wonderfully easy vegetable - the courgette. If you’ve never grown courgettes before then I can highly recommend it as they give such a high yield from even just a couple of plants. In fact that would be my main advice - don’t be tempted to grow too many or you’ll be inundated! Plant the seeds undercover or on a windowsill from the beginning of the month.

Put two seeds to a pot, laying them on their sides and covering with about 1” of compost. They usually germinate in a week to ten days and grow

pretty rapidly. Remove the weaker of the seedlings (I always feel guilty when I do this! If it looks good I re-pot it). When the seedlings have four to 6 leaves start to harden off by placing outside during the day. Plant out after all risk of frost has passed. You can also start courgettes outside, directly into the bed in which they’ll grow but I’d wait until later in the month when the soil is a bit warmer. The plants will grow quickly, producing exotic looking yellow flowers (look out for recipes for the flowers too).

For maximum yields the plants should be harvested regularly. Tiny courgettes are very tasty, and don’t be tempted too turn your back on the plants for too long as they grow large at an amazing rate! Be careful with watering when seedlings as the stems can rot, but they’ll need plenty of water once they have grown. If you’re short of space courgettes can be grown in grow bags, planting two to a bag.

With summer in mind, don’t forget to keep planting your salad crops. As well as the traditional lettuce there are a host of other salad leaves that can be grown, and it’s usually possible to buy packets of mixed salad seeds. Get in the habit of planting some at least once a fortnight - use some of the leaves to cut and come again for tasty fresh salad, transplanting some lettuces outside and allowing them to grow on to full size.

If you planted beetroot seeds out in March or April the chances are that they’ll have suffered with the very cold weather that we had last month. Another row sown now may well give you much better results.

Fancy your own, home grown, Brussels sprouts with Christmas dinner? They need quite a long growing time, so think about starting them around now.
