The Ferndown & West Parley Directory

Dear Ferndown & West Parley residents,

What an amazing summer we have had! I had a call from a very caring resident asking me to remind us all to leave water out for the birds as they desperately need it. Good idea, let’s help them. The children are now off school for a few weeks so hopefully Debbie & Stephen Corney they are getting out and about and enjoying time with family and friends. Nellie would say that! Get out there and live life, she would exclaim. On that note the story this month is a tribute to her. We have had 5 fabulous years and unfortunate events have led to what you will read about. We do hope you have enjoyed her exploits each month. We look forward to welcoming Daichi, the Dashing Dude!

It is also the 70th Anniversary of the NHS. Currently I have a friend in Poole hospital and I have to say from the ambulance service men and women to the nurses and the doctors they are all incredible.

Very special people work to help others and I, on behalf of Dorset Publications, thank them for their true dedication and care.

Your little magazine is also full of hard working and helpful trades and service people. They are here for you and they would love to hear your call or see you in person. Please let each know how you found their details as we are here to help them, help you.

The prize word search continues to be very popular. The lucky winner this month was Anne Finlay Brown. Well done! Who will be this year’s summer winner? Good luck, I will let you know in the next edition.

Wishing you a warm and happy August!

Welcome...

Cloudy2Clear Announce Trusted Trader Partnership Consumer champions Which? have now joined the thousands of customers who recognise that Cloudy2Clear Windows really are a business that you can TRUST. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has received the coveted ‘Which Trusted Trader’ status after going through a rigorous accreditation process entirely focussed on customer service.

Group Managing Director Marcus McGee believes that Which? have endorsed Cloudy2Clear’s long standing

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 Ferndown 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.’

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

Wildlife News

Talking about Wildlife...

Marine Wildlife needs a wave of support

At Dorset Wildlife Trust we know summer is Marine Conservation Zones are established under the Marine and Coastal Access Act (2009) and are crucial to the protection of some of our most rare and threatened marine wildlife. Currently, there are 50 MCZs in the country, with more urgently needed to complete the network of Marine Protected Areas in England. As part of the current MCZ proposals, six out of the 41 proposed sites in the third and final tranche are in Dorset: Albert Field; Purbeck Coast; South of Portland; Southbourne Rough; Studland Bay and West of Wight-Barfleur.

These cover a wide range of underwater landscapes and habitats, from deep, tideswept rocky cliffs to sheltered seagrass meadows. Wildlife found in or near these sites include: black bream, spiny seahorses and peacock’s tail seaweed.

In 2013, three sites were designated as MCZ’s in Dorset: Chesil Beach & Stennis Ledges MCZ, South Dorset MCZ and Poole Rocks MCZ. Together, these areas represent an impressive and stunning range of submarine landscapes and habitats which are often less appreciated and more overlooked than their terrestrial counterparts.

Spiny Seahorse

However, the importance of not only the Dorset sites but all of those proposed to be included in the current tranche of MCZ, is huge. Due to the extent of the damage caused to our marine environments, time is now running out to reverse the significant losses already suffered, and increased protection is urgently needed.

You can find out more about all 41 sites across England by visiting www. wildlifetrusts.org/mcz, and for more information about the proposal’s Dorset sites, please visit www.dorsetwildlifetrust. org.uk/mczs where you can also become a friend of the MCZ’s and get regular updates and information on the outcome of the public consultation for the third tranche.

We’re also pleased to have recently re-opened the Fine Foundation Wild Seas Centre at Kimmeridge, next to one of the best rockpooling sites in Dorset.

The centre has a new artificial rockpool, new information panels, and interactive virtual seabed, a new shop, and lots of events throughout the summer.

George Augustus Place George Augustus Place was born in Hampreston and in 1838 became a medical officer for Wimborne and Cranborne Union Workhouse. Mr Place was there for five months before resigning on the 6 August.

At the time smallpox was spreading in the workhouse due to poor conditions. Also there weren’t many nurses employed there, so smallpox was going undiagnosed and untreated.

In 1839 a poster was published about smallpox in the workhouse.

Mr Place had contacted The Times newspaper, who criticised the situation in the workhouse.

Opening times: 2 Jan-31 Mar and 1 Nov-22 Dec 2018, Mon-Sat 10am-4pm 1 Apr-31 Oct 2018, Mon-Sat 10am-4.30pm

As a result enquiries were made but Mr Place was not satisfied with the findings. He felt that the results left out important information.

He hoped the poor would benefit from his actions in drawing attention to the shortcomings of the workhouse and the Poor Law.

Big Ride cyclists brave the heat for Julia’s House A hundred and twenty riders braved sweltering heat to take part in The Big Ride, a new cycling event organised by Julia’s House, the Dorset and Wiltshire Children’s Hospice.

Ali Acaster

Previously run as the Hospice-toHospice ride, with a route between the Dorset hospice in Corfe Mullen and the Wiltshire hospice in Devizes, this year it changed venue and name in favour of a new circular route starting from Larmer Tree Gardens.

Cyclists chose between a 50 and 100 mile ride through beautiful open countryside, villages – and up a couple of killer hills!

There were several welcome refreshment stops along the way and at the end of their journey the cyclists were presented with medals and treated to a celebratory hog roast and glass of Prosecco.

Last year’s ride raised £63,000 and early signs are that this is likely to be matched.

Among those joining the ride was Julia’s House Director of Care Ali Acaster and

Parent Ambassador Charles Andrews along with 10 of his colleagues from engineering firm Meggitt.

Charles, whose 14-year-old daughter Katherine receives care from Julia’s House, has had a very active week – he is currently taking part in the charity’s Trek the Alps challenge event.

Big thank you to all the Julia’s House volunteers for manning checkpoints, refreshments and road crossings and to sponsors Addo Food Group, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Muc Off, Emily Crisps and Pedals Cycle Centre.

Providing the answers

to your legal questions

Why is a Lasting Power of Attorney so important?

Surely my spouse and children can look after me if I lose capacity?

When discussing Lasting Powers of Attorney with clients I am often asked why these are necessary. Many people believe that should they lose capacity later on in life their next of kin can automatically take over the management of their affairs without any documentation in place.

A simple way to avoid this is to put a Lasting Power of Attorney in place. This allows you to choose people that you trust to manage your affairs if you are no longer able to do so yourself. You can make sure that both your finances and your health are looked after by deciding to put both Lasting Powers of Attorney in place.

Unfortunately, this is not the case. Although your spouse has some legal rights over property you own jointly together they can be restricted with what they can do with that property. For example, if you have a home together which is held in joint names, it would require both signatures in order that the property could be sold. If one party has lost capacity and is unable to consent to this then considerable delays could be caused with the transaction. They will not have the ability to deal with any bank accounts etc in your sole name.

For further advice on this please contact a member of our friendly team who will be pleased to assist you further.

Joint Ownership of Property

The Trust Deed would set out the amount each purchaser contributed to the purchase price; the respective share owned; the contributions to outgoings, costs, insurance, decoration etc.; contributions to mortgage payments and what would happen if one party refuses to pay; agreement on how to value the property on sale; rights of refusal on a resale i.e. one party does not wish to sell or moves out remaining on the title and finally how the property or sale proceeds are to be distributed between the parties.

For varied reasons, (often economic), many people are now purchasing or investing in property, with relatives or friends and not just partners.

It is vitally important to discuss at the outset what you all want to get out of the purchase; how this is going to be funded between you; how long you plan to live together or invest and what happens if one of you wants to sell your share of the property in the future or if one party dies.

In order to best protect each parties’ legal and beneficial interest in the property it is advisable to hold your interests as ‘Tenants in Common’ either in equal or unequal shares (depending upon the sums contributed by each party). It is also advisable to draw up a ‘Trust Deed’, which would specifically set out how your respective interests in the property are to be held; how said interests would subsequently be dealt with upon any relationship breakdown, re-sale or death of any party.

Rebecca Willmott

Other considerations are additional Stamp Duty Land Tax payable upon a purchase where one or more parties already owns a legal or equitable interest in another property either in the UK or abroad and potential Capital Gains Tax or Inheritance Tax implications where property is transferred between parents and children.

For further advice on this please contact our Conveyancing team.

Trudie’s Big Day Out As part of the NHS 70th anniversary celebrations, Trudie Spicer, a branch member of the East Dorset and Ringwood NHS Retirement Fellowship (NHSRF), won the Wessex Area NHSRF ballot to attend The Buckingham Palace Garden Party.

On the big day Trudie travelled to London by train, accompanied by her grandson Andrew. Upon arrival in London Trudie was told that she would be taken by taxi to a surprise venue for lunch beforehand.

Unbeknown to her, however, Trudie’s son in law, who worked for the owners of the Hotel, had arranged a wonderful reception at the Ritz for her! Trudie was met and treated just like a VIP, given a special goodie bag and after a lovely lunch she was taken by chauffeur driven Daimler to Buckingham Palace.

Alas the Queen was not present but Trudie saw Prince Charles and Prince Edward. A fine finish to a wonderful day that Trudie will remember forever.

The images here show a few of their recent installations in homes of local residents.

With their friendly and helpful approach you can be sure of a personal, bespoke service that is tailored to your needs.

Their experienced designers produce CAD drawings of how the finished room will look to ensure that everything is true to your original vision.

What happens if you don’t have a Power of Attorney?

Arranging a Power of Attorney before it’s too late is critical to avoiding heartache for friends and family later.

None of us likes to think about a time in life when we’re no longer able to make our own decisions. But should that moment come, it’ll affect every part of your life – from your home to your finances to your medical care.

It’s shocking to realise that as many as 1 in 3 over the age of 65 will suffer dementia, but of course, an unexpected accident can strike anytime. So setting up a Power of Attorney is the sensible solution.

If you haven’t made the right preparations, it’s your family and friends who’ll be left to sort everything out, as they try to take best care of you. When – and only when – it’s necessary, your Power of Attorney can be activated to enable someone you trust to step in and take key decisions for you.

Your Attorney’s must make all decisions in your best interests and they are duty bound to follow the guidelines set out in the Mental Capacity Act 2005. You are able to restrict the sort of decisions your attorney can make for you or you can allow them to make all decisions on your behalf.

LPAs are designed to be recognised by financial institutions, care homes and local authorities as well as tax, benefits and pension authorities. It is a good idea to not only arrange the LPAs but also to complete an advanced directive or “living will” at the same time so that your chosen Attorney’s are fully aware of all your wishes well in advance of the powers being needed to be used.

With our life expectancy increasing year on year the need for LPAs in the future will significantly increase, so don’t get caught out at your time of need.

Do you want to protect your family and loved ones?

Probably the most important documents you will ever own.

Wills & Power of Attorneys - £119.99 each

Special Offers: Complete Lasting Power of Attorney package for a couple. Includes all FOUR LPAs and TWO Advanced Directives. £459.00 (A saving of £79.96)

Adventures of Nellie

38

The Adventures of Nellie The Dorset Publications Camper Van Many of us have come to enjoy Nellie’s exploits over the years, 5 good years in fact. Playful in her mature fun-loving way, always ready to go somewhere new and have a go. She would laugh at herself with her long black skirts to cover up her rather large thighs and a silver grin that would bring a smile to everyone’s face. Family fun, excursions, exploring and seeing the bright side of life have been her passion.

I did say the journey was interesting at the end of last month, so are you ready?

Driving back from Wales… Well, we had literally just passed the “Welcome to England” sign, travelling at a mere 20 miles an hour when there was a sudden bang. We lurched forward. I yelled. We were hit again. The young girl in the car behind Nellie failed to stop, she just kept going. I yelled for a second time. Nellie was badly hit and I knew instantly she would not be repaired. The girl’s car was totally ruined, the engine would not start at all. After the police came to help, Nellie limped to the nearest service station and unfortunately on the back of a truck Nellie was taken to the “old van’s home”. It was very sad. If I say anymore we will all cry, and that is not ‘our Nellie’.

No, Nellie is not one to give up easily and she has a Grandson in Japan who is coming over to replace her fun and frolics here on the South Coast. Nellie will be keeping a close eye on him of course because from what I hear ‘Daichi, The Dashing Dude’ as he is known (and for good reason), is a bit of a handful.

Despite his Japanese upbringing, he has somewhat of an ‘Italian’ persona and likes the lady cars. Being the personality he is, he is having a ‘makeover’ (can you believe

Nellie with the Cerne Abbas Giant it?) before he arrives here in Dorset.

Goodness knows how we will cope, but I am sure we will manage somehow. It was Nellie’s idea and you know what these stubborn older ladies can be like! When we tried to argue we just saw ‘the look’ from those headlights and we decided it was best to let her be right. We are all for an easy life. Daichi, which means ‘first grandson’ in Japanese, is taking his time (there is a lot of makeover going on) and will be with us in a couple of months. In the meantime we will take a look back at Nellie’s Golden Years…

It all started in 2013. Stephen’s old car had finally given up and I had this idea to get a campervan to help Stephen not only carry all of out thousands of magazines each month, but also give us some family fun with a good excuse to get out and about.

Having a young, very active boy of nine at the time, and being a somewhat ‘older Mum’, having the van meant we could all enjoy a day out. After all, Nellie’s whistling kettle satisfied my more relaxed way of life and the outdoor life let Hayden run around to his heart’s content. Stephen had the

39 best of both worlds. It got both of them off the computer too! As soon as we bought Nellie, she attracted attention. Five years ago there were less van’s like her on our English roads and the dark glass, with her roof up, her long black skirts and her silver smile seemed to draw people in. They were curious. That’s what gave me the idea to characterise her and write about where she took us. It was all a bit of fun and would hopefully make others smile.

Her very first trip in June ’13 was to Cerne Abbas to see the naked Giant on the hill. Knowing Nellie now, some may see why that might be, she was always a bit cheeky! One of our favourite trips was to the Isle of Wight. Mum, Dad my sister, her husband and the three of us all went in convoy. Nellie was so excited she got on the earlier ferry and left my sister and brother-in law in ‘Lady J’ standing, waving, on the quay! We all met up again and had a fabulous week exploring the whole island. Fishing for the boys and Liz Earle’s Beauty Salon for us girls. We came out smelling better than the boys did, Nellie will tell you!

Another great stay was had at Norden Farm near Corfe Castle. Fields, the wonderful sounds of our English birds, fishing again, fish and chips in Swanage, a picnic by the River at Wareham, what more can you want? Nellie took us to Cornwall last summer where Hayden competed in

Nellie at Carisbrooke Castle, Isle of Wight

Nellie ‘unpacked’ ready for the beach the Surf Life Saving Championships (I did say he was active didn’ t I?) where we got thoroughly rained on and had to buy a new awning. Camping at it’s best…? Following that was a wedding in Hull, so Nellie was packed with wellies, wetsuits and surf boards, next to wedding outfits, dainty shoes and a fascinator! All good fun and just shows how versatile Nellie really was.

Ever ready, with a big silvery grin, for any occasion.

If you had a favourite story please let us know. Phone, write or email. All details are here in your local community magazine.

Nellie would love to hear from you! For the next few months we will improvise until Daichi the Dashing Dude arrives to entertain you.

Nellie wishes you all well and may you keep smiling.

The story behind the production...

With a string of successful productions over the last 3 years covering Musical Theatre, Cabaret and Drama, Encore are proud to present Jill Santoriello’s Musical Masterpiece, A TALE OF TWO CITIES, in association with Trowbridge’s Estate & Lettings, Ferndown. Taken from the Charles Dickens Novel, this Musical follows the lives of French and English people, all caught up in the terror and rage that marked the beginning of the French revolution.

Two men in love with the same woman.

Two cities swept up in revolution. One last chance for a man to redeem his wasted life and change the world. This musical focusses on the love triangle between young beauty Lucie Manette, French aristocrat Charles Darnay and drunken English lawyer, Sydney Carton. Follow the Manette family as they struggle with the wonder and tragedy that

L to R: Jon Shiner(Director), Jo Mansfield (Executive Producer), Jill Santoriello, Composer, & Nick Sander (Musical Director) engulfs them as Charles Dickens’ story unfolds on stage.

From its opening on Broadway in September 2008, to our 10th anniversary production, marking a premiere on the south coast of England, this musical has inspired audiences all around the world, with its dramatic storyline and soaring music; something you won’t forget.

July 2018 marks the opening in London’s Charing Cross Theatre, of Jill Santoriello’s latest production, a musical entitled “IT HAPPENED IN KEY WEST”. The composer/author has been closely involved with our production, and on July 7th some of the company went to meet her and to see her show. We are also lucky enough to be credited on her website and in the Show Programme.

Gardening Tips

a beginner’s

GUIDE

Dead-heading and Seed collecting

You will nearly always get more flowers for longer if you can spend some time regularly ‘dead-heading’. That means removing faded flowers to stimulate the development of more flowers, and of new shoots on shrubs and roses.

seeds and grow your own plants next season, saving plenty of money.

If the dying flowers are left until they form seed pods, the plant thinks its job is done for the year and it won’t bother to produce any more flowers.

When the seed capsules turn brown and start to split, cut them off and spread on paper lined trays until they’re fully dry.

Take out the seeds and store in small labelled envelopes until ready for sowing.

However, with many of your plants, which have probably cost a packet from the local garden centre, you may want to leave some of the flowers until seed heads are produced so that you can collect the

Try it with plants with quite large seeds to start with, like Marigolds or try Aquilega (Grandmother’s Bonnets) or Foxgloves.

They may not grow exactly the same in character and quality as the original plants but it’s great fun to watch the results of your efforts spring into life.

New main ring attraction at this year’s Dorset County Show With just a few months to go until this year’s Dorset County Show, the organisers have revealed the new main ring attraction for 2018.

Organised by Dorchester Agricultural Society, the show will take place from Saturday September 1 to Sunday September 2, at the Dorchester Showground. The two-day annual show attracts more than 60,000 people each year since it began in 1840, and boasts a variety of attractions, livestock, and fun for all the family.

This year’s main ring attraction will be camel racing provided by Joseph’s Amazing Camels, which have been featured on Countryfile and also have been the stars of many advertising campaigns including the British airline easyJet. This is the first time camel racing has taken place at the show and is definitely not to be missed.

Also new for 2018 is The Fabulous Food & Farming Education Area which will provide visitors with everything they need to know about the important role farming plays in our everyday lives. Information will also be shared on where our food comes from before it is sold in the supermarkets.

Throughout the weekend competitive classes will be taking place for more than 20 different types of cattle, over 30 different types of sheep, goats and pigs, as well as in homecraft, horticulture and sheep shearing. Poultry, rabbits and alpacas will also be on show, with falconry displays, scurry racing and the Grand Parade of award-winning livestock will take place in the main ring.

Food lovers will have an extensive range of hand-picked catering concessions to choose from, each specialising in a different type of cuisine, showcasing local food producers from all across Dorset. There will be more than 450 trade stands at the show during the weekend for those looking to support local suppliers. High-end

country items will also be found in the specialist ‘Shopping@theAvenue’ marquee.

Will Hyde, show secretary, said: “Each year we work hard to ensure Dorset County Show continues to offer new attractions for our visitors, while still promoting excellence within agriculture. We have produced a jam-packed programme of activities which we are proud of for 2018 and will capture all interests and bring people together to celebrate the best of Dorset’s rural life.

“Come rain or shine it is a priority of ours to host a variety of attractions and activities which will create the perfect day out for all the family.

We look forward to welcoming back our regular visitors and also meeting new people who will join us over the course of the weekend.”

Please visit dorsetcountyshow.co.uk or call 01305 264249 to find out more details on what’s planned for the weekend, how to get there and book tickets. Children under 16 go free and early bird tickets are £14 and available until July 31, when the price rises to £15. Tickets can also be purchased on the day at the show for £18.
