QUIRKY

BY MICA BALE

Although Dorset might well be experiencing its strangest summer in history, the beau ful coastline and landscapes that make the county so special are s ll as breathtaking as ever. From the various bird species that have been enjoying Dorset’s skies to an impressive collec on from Ancient Egypt, here are another five facts from around Dorset.

Writers, painters and poets have long flocked to the Dorset coast to be inspired and interes ngly Lyme Regis’ iconic Cobb harbour wall actually featured in the works of one of Britain’s most popular female writers. The Cobb which is thought to date back at least to the early 14th century has featured in various films and literature but for Austen fans, it will be remembered as the landmark where Louisa Musgrove in Persuasion took a rather unfortunate tumble. Austen herself enjoyed visi ng Lyme Regis and reportedly went to the town on several occasions, no doubt enjoying a stroll down the Cobb herself, though perhaps watching her foo ng more than her character did!

Did you know that the beau ful Kingston Lacy House is home to the largest private collec on of ancient Egyp an artefacts in the UK? The collec on was personally compiled by William John Bankes who travelled to Egypt in the early 19th century and came back from his exci ng adventures with many fascina ng finds. As well as the impressive collec on, visitors to Kingston Lacy House and Garden can enjoy many other historical artefacts including several pain ngs by such icons of the art world Reubens and van Dyck. To learn more about this des na on, visit their website; www.na onaltrust.org.uk/kingston-lacy

With Dorset, along with the rest of the country, cau ously emerging from the restraints of lockdown, the local wildlife has been enjoying more peaceful days and various species have delighted many wildlife enthusiasts and twitchers with increased sigh ngs. The beau ful and colourful Great Spo�ed Woodpecker, Red Kites, some rather sleepy Tawny Owls and even a pair of Roseate Terns are just some of the birds that have been making appearances throughout the county.

Long before community awards and rewards excised to praise the endeavours of towns and villages, se�lements relied on the highly esteemed words of the likes of Daniel Defoe to draw a�en on to their landmarks or local wares. Defoe was known to be as condemning as he was complimentary and thankfully Stalbridge was to receive his praise when he commented that the se�lement, known for its tex les once produced the ‘finest, best and most prized stockings in England’ even if he did lament that the ‘trade now is much decayed by the increase of the kni�ng-stocking engine’!

Don’t miss the next edi on!

Interes ngly, were you aware that Sir Ernest Debenham, the grandson of the businessman William Debenham of department store Debenham, purchased the Dorset village of Brianspuddle in 1914? A�er purchasing the village, Sir Ernest decided to both expand the village and also improve the facili es, notably by having every co�age being complete with a toilet and a large garden.

Talking about Wildlife...

Summer wildlife At Dorset Wildlife Trust we know summer is here with the arrival of the li�le terns and the barn owl chicks. Some of nature’s most exci�ng displays are about to start…

At Lorton Meadows Nature Reserve in Weymouth, the barn owls have already started to rear their chicks. At the �me of wri�ng, 5 of 7 eggs have hatched and under the careful watch of their parents, are thriving. Barn owls have been roos�ng in the box which is specially built into the Lorton Meadows Conserva�on Centre, since 2010. Last year, we had the most amount of chicks fledge ever (five!), and this year is already looking promising. All this is despite the decline of barn owls na�onally. The Lorton Meadows Nature Reserve, which the barn owls hunt for voles and other prey on, seems to have plen�ful food stocks. Lack of habitat and nes�ng space are the main challenges for barn owls, so it’s great that our nature reserve can provide both for these majes�c creatures. Watch them live on our webcam, sponsored by Dorset Tea, at www. dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/raptorcam.

Over at Chesil, the li�le tern project is in full swing, with the first egg appearing on 20th May, nestled in the iconic pebbles of Chesil Beach. Each summer these li�le Little Tern near Chesil Beach Photo: Angela Thomas

birds arrive in Dorset, migra�ng from Africa for the summer, to breed on the beach, which is the South West’s only colony. Last year, they broke records with breeding numbers, and despite their numbers dropping to their lowest in 1997, careful management of the habitat by volunteers has ensured their con�nued survival and growing numbers. Li�le terns are the smallest of the UK terns and are a fast flying graceful li�le bird with a black cap on their head and a yellow bill with a black �p. You’ll hear them before you see them – with their dis�nc�ve ‘creeking’ call. They are ground nes�ng birds, so the Chesil li�le tern project, led by RSPB, concentrates on protec�ng the colony from predators and reducing disturbance. Before the birds arrive, an electric fence is put up around the colony, and a hide is constructed for the wardens and volunteers to monitor the birds 24 hours a day, and scare off any avian predators. The Fine Founda�on Chesil Beach Centre has a viewing pla�orm to view these birds, who are hun�ng for fish in the fleet lagoon. Bring your binoculars!

You can also keep track on Twi�er (@Li�le_ tern17) for the latest li�le tern news. www.dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk

Georgia swims “channel” in memory of Mum A few weeks into Lockdown, my Dad jokingly suggested that I could swim 21 miles, the equivalent distance to swimming the channel, in our little 10ft pool in the garden. That joke became reality and over 9 days I completed an at home channel swim. It was cold and it was rainy on some days, but I managed to finish in some sunshine!

I was swimming in order to raise awareness and as much money as possible for Target Ovarian Cancer, the UK’s leading ovarian cancer charity, to help in the fight against ovarian cancer.

Lockdown has hit many charities hard with events having to be cancelled. Yet women are still being diagnosed every day with ovarian cancer and for those living with a diagnosis, coronavirus has caused a lot of anxiety. The need for the support and services that Target Ovarian Cancer offer is required now more than ever. This was one of the reasons I embarked on the challenge.

In addition to this, unfortunately in December 2017, as a family, our lives got turned upside down when my Mum was diagnosed with advanced ovarian cancer. After two rounds of chemotherapy and a cycle of whole brain radiotherapy, Mum passed away a few months ago, just a couple of days before Christmas, a mere two years after her diagnosis, at the age of 54. Leaving a huge hole in lives of my Dad, my brother, myself and many close friends and family who miss her everyday.

As a result of this, my aim is to raise money and awareness to ensure that every woman has the best chance of survival. I want to try to help ultimately reduce the number of women who have to battle ovarian cancer and therefore reduce the number of women and families that this disease affects.

Not many people have heard of ovarian cancer or know much about it, and most importantly don’t know about the symptoms, and I want this to change, as early diagnosis really can save lives.

I have also now set up an online sweet selling business, Nedra’s Sweet Charity, named after Mum, in which profits from all sales are being donated to Target Ovarian Cancer. Again, to raise much needed awareness as well as funds to help fight in the battle against ovarian cancer. We are a family of sweet lovers, and I wanted to do something that would raise continuous funds, so I decided to combine two passions - a passion for sweets combined with a passion for raising awareness of ovarian cancer.

We have a range of different products and are currently selling on Etsy, our shop can be found at: www.etsy.com/shop/nedrassweetcharity and we can also be found on Instagram @ nedrassweetcharity and on Facebook Nedra’s Sweet Charity.

For me this isn’t just a lockdown project but a long term venture. I’m hopeful that we will receive many more orders, that the business will continue to grow and therefore raise further funds and generate more widespread awareness of ovarian cancer.

Best-Selling Author Wants Children To Write Lockdown Stories In Aid Of Julia’s House Children’s Hospice Best-selling author Minette Walters wants children and young people to share their lockdown experiences for a summer short story competition in aid of Julia’s House Children’s Hospice. The Julia’s House Summer Shorties competition will have two categories, age five to nine and ten to 16, and will be judged by a panel, chaired by the author. She has been a patron of the children’s charity, which cares for life-limited children in Wiltshire and Dorset, for more than 20 years.

“For some, it will have been a prolonged and wonderful summer holiday, during which they’ve grown closer to their parents. For others, whose parents don’t’ get on, who don’t have a garden or who are missing their friends and grandparents, lockdown will be something they’d rather forget.

The winners and runners up in both categories will have their stories published on the Julia’s House website, with the winners receiving £100 each and the runners up £25 each. The prizes have been kindly donated by the Addo Food Group.

“I want children and young people to think about this different summer and let their imaginations run free. They can write about it as it was, or how they would have liked it to be. It doesn’t have to be their summer, it can be someone else’s – an imaginary friend, an animal, a parent or a grandparent.

I’m so looking forward to reading their stories. If children bring their imaginations to play on what the words mean, their stories will be magical.”

The thriller writer is best known for The Ice House and The Sculptress, which were both adapted as popular TV dramas. She said she has been struck by the difficulties, as well as the positives, of young people being at home with their families and away from their friends.

She said that encouraging children to use their imagination to write stories is an important way of allowing them to understand and express their feelings. “Writing is important for children because imagination will be their best friend throughout their life. The world is brighter when you paint it with

colour and excitement,” she added.

“Using your imagination is the most joyful thing you will ever do. To imagine a story and tell others what might have happened – so that your reader’s imagination comes in to play as well – is the most satisfying form of communication.”

Stories must be titled ‘A Different Summer’ and be limited to a maximum of 300 words for five to nine-year-olds and 500 words for ten to 16 -year-olds. Entries must be submitted on an official entry form available from the Julia’s House website: juliashouse.org/ summershorties or by post from Julia’s House Summer Shorties, Barclays House, 1 Wimborne Road, Poole, BH15 2BB. There is no entry fee but anyone taking part in the competition can make a donation to help Julia’s House continue to be there for local children and families during the coronavirus crisis and beyond.

Ms Walters added: “Children don’t often get the chance to do something positive for other children, so the idea that they can do something like this to help Julia’s House is really wonderful, I think.” The money raised will contribute towards providing care for life-limited and life-threatened children and their families. The author continued: “Julia’s House is close to my heart because of the way they care for the children, their siblings and their families. They do wonderful work.”

Find out more about Julia’s House and its work at juliashouse.org.

The charity has been continuing to care for local children and families throughout the coronavirus crisis, helping to keep the children safe and well at home and reducing the strain on the NHS. Minette Walters

The competition is open now and the closing date is Friday, July 31.

Full entry details and terms and conditions are available on the Julia’s House website or by written request. Minette will joined on the judging panel by Mark Tattersall, Artistic Director, Dorchester Arts and Ebony Robinson, Julia’s House Young Ambassador.

Understanding Investments:

The Value of Ongoing Investment Management If you own a money purchase pension, individually or via your employer, your money will be invested. If you own an investment ISA, your money will be invested.

Do you know what it is invested in and how exposed your money is to investment risk?

Has this been looked at and potentially adjusted since the start of 2020 (and the subsequent COVID-19 pandemic)?

Typically, we find people invest in a pension’s default fund when first setting up their plan and this rarely gets looked at again. Many newer schemes offer default funds with Lifestyling, which means risk is reduced automatically as someone approaches the scheme’s standard retirement age. That can work well if you plan to retire at the scheme’s retirement age AND an annuity is to be purchased. However, many clients are not so binary as to be working full time one day and stopping completely the next. Reducing investment risk too early could be damaging (especially after a severe market decline).

Clients who invest in ISAs (other than cash ISAs) usually have a better understanding of where and with whom their money is invested but may only review this periodically (perhaps once a year at best). As we have recently seen, a lot can change in a year!

Ongoing Investment Management is a way for your investments to be continually monitored on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.

Adjustments are made to maintain the correct level of risk within the portfolio and to take advantage of investment opportunities as they are identified.

The foundation of investing is built on Asset Allocation. The concept is that different types of assets will go up and down at different times, so when one falls another rises and helps support the overall portfolio (picture a graphic equaliser). The 4 main asset classes are cash, fixed interest, equities and property

so these will be held in a “multiasset” portfolio in varying proportions Howard Goodship depending on the level of risk (and therefore volatility) a client is prepared to take, along with consideration of their investment timescale.

The % held in each asset is then adjusted based on strategic asset allocation and tactical asset allocation. The strategic allocation tends to be based on long term views and the tactical allocation is generally implemented based on current market conditions.

Is there a cost to this type of service?

Costs vary considerably, although they may be lower than you might think. At Lonsdale Wealth Management we act as the “informed buyer” for our clients. We research and select the fund management providers who offer the best service at the lowest cost-we strive for value! Some passive providers charge very little extra (0.12% plus fund charges of 0.15%) for a mixed asset portfolio with ongoing strategic asset allocation (Source; Vanguard) and some active managers’ charges can be as low as an additional 0.24% above the individual fund charges (Source; LGT Vestra). Next month’s article will explain the difference between passive and active investment management.

However you manage your money, it is important you give it the attention it deserves. If you don’t then you could be making your financial objectives harder to achieve than is necessary.

Welcome back to all our clients both existing... and future!

The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the urgent need for everyone to have Power of Attorneys in place. For the many who have either contracted the virus or had to isolate for a prolonged period, having registered Power of Attorneys would have helped them immensely in the management of their affairs during this time.

So

What is a Lasting Power of Attorney?

A Power of Attorney is a legal document by which an individual gives another person(s) authority to make certain decisions on his or her behalf.

You are not giving away any of your money or property to anyone else – your Attorney is just authorised to deal with those assets for you when you wish them to, or when you are unable to.

A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) continues in effect even if the person giving the power becomes mentally incapable of dealing with their affairs.

A lasting power of attorney is not to do with what happens when you die. Nor does it prevent you from continuing to make decisions and dealing with your own affairs for so long as you are capable.

Your Attorney(s) can only ever act in your best interests.

There are two types of Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA):

1. “Property and Affairs” which allows your Attorney the power to deal with your property and finances.

2. “Health and Welfare” which allows your Attorney to make welfare and healthcare decisions on your behalf, but only when you lack the mental capacity to make those decisions yourself.

Indeed, the pandemic has also highlighted the very real need for everyone to have a current Will, irrespective of their financial standing or age.

Now is the time: to learn the lessons from this pandemic.

Now is the time: to put appropriate protection in place.

Now is the time: to give yourself the peace of mind in knowing your affairs are in order.

The good news is, this is not as complicated or expensive as it sounds.

Dorset and Wight are your local trusted provider of affordable Lasting Power of Attorneys and professionally drafted Wills.

The Adventures of Daichi

The Adventures of Daichi

The Dorset Publications Camper Van Oh, my goodness what incredible times we are living in! Daichi the Dashing Dude, our funloving campervan was driving us mad, instead of driving us off to exciting places to visit, for the last few months. I am sure you can only imagine how he felt when Boris said it was ok for him to go out on the road again! Wild horses wouldn’t stop him. In fact, that is where he took us… to see the wild ponies, horses and cattle in the New Forest. This area is so beautiful… the space, the greenery, the wildlife. Gorgeous.

We packed Daichi with a healthy picnic and off we set. All smiles, including the Dashing Dude with his ‘bright white teeth’ all shining.

It was a lovely day with the sun

Mare and foal in the New Forest

Daichi is all smiles at the seaside

ablaze. I think the horses were quite astounded at the amount of people walking around and disturbing the land that had become their own, and theirs alone, recently. I am sure a few looked at us in resentment as if to say, “Could you leave us to it please?” There were many foals too, all looking rather healthy, staying close to the safety of their mothers. Such a delight to watch. The expanding space of our very special New Forest is such an inspiration. The rolling countryside has a calming effect.

Everything seems in control, tranquil and suddenly the stress of the news and the negativity falls away. Things do not seem so bad after all. Daichi highly recommends a therapeutic trip to the countryside to blow away any pessimistic doom and gloom.

Switching off the news on the TV is also a good idea.

Dancing our way through the winding New Forest lanes we arrived at out destination, Lepe Beach. Now a different view of the wide expanse of sea and the Isle of Wight which seems so close. There was even an ice cream van! After weeks of being ‘locked up’ it is amazing what we can suddenly get very excited about. I have not felt like that since I was six and wanted an ice cream! It is the small things in life that make a difference and how we appreciate these even more now. Oh yes, and the toilets were open too! We were safe. How funny is that!

A picnic in Daichi was a must. His little fridge comes in really handy and though we had prepared a flask of coffee this time, his whistling kettle will come in useful again very soon. So, there we were, the three of us, with a stunning sea view and good food.

Quality family time!

Relaxing on the beach...

The campervan-life really has its perks. We love it. Of course, we had to get out and sit on the sand and watch the rolling waves gently cruising towards us. There actually was a cruise ship moving out to sea, having been moored in Southampton harbour. I wonder where it was going? That is something else we miss… you can’t beat a good cruise. One day we will be back to some semblance of normality.

I do not know when that will be, but in the meantime we have our wonderful Daichi The Dashing Dude who is delighted to ‘sail’ us away to wherever we want to go, or wherever he decides to take us. If you have any ideas where to visit, then we would love to hear from you. Family fun is what Daichi is all about. We do hope you are able to get out and about too. It is so good to do! Where will Daichi take us next? See in our next issue…

STAR GAZING Welcome to the monthly Stargazing Page! Each month I’ll be describing astronomical events that are happening overhead in our beau�ful night skies. The majority of them are viewable just by stepping out at the appropriate �me and looking up, but some may require a par�cular vantage point (e.g. a clear view to the west). A cloudless sky is (usually) required! Some viewings will benefit from using binoculars or a small telescope if you have one, but most observa�ons can be enjoyed without either. For your safety, please remember to wait un�l the sun has set before observing the night sky.

Interna onal Space Sta on The Interna�onal Space Sta�on (ISS) is usually visible at some point during the night, but o�en at unsociable hours. Unfortunately, all flyovers in July occur at 10pm or later, but if you can manage to stay up that late, and the skies are partly clear, you will be rewarded with some high, bright glimpses of the Space Sta�on.

Excellent sigh�ngs are predicted for July 18th, 20th, 22nd, 24th and 26th. These occur around 10.15pm, rising from a roughly westerly direc�on, passing overhead in some instances (July 20th), and se ng towards the east. (Please note these �mings and direc�ons are correct at �me of going to press and are subject to change. For up-to-date informa�on on visible ISS overhead passes please visit www.heavens-above.com.

Mercury In late July, Mercury will be visible for those willing to rise around 4.30am. It will be extremely low on the horizon towards the ENE, and hard to spot in the dawn light.

Venus Now shining as the Morning Star (known to the ancient Greeks and Egyp�ans as ‘Phosphorus’, meaning ‘Dawn bringer’ or ‘Bringer of light’), early risers will no�ce Venus shining brightly in the east. If you are able to surface early from your slumber around 4am on July 17th and have a clear view of the horizon to the east, you will be compensated with a deligh�ul view of Venus, the Moon and the Vshaped Hyades star cluster, which represents the head of the Bull in the constella�on of Taurus.

Mars The red planet is visible a�er 1am towards the ESE. The red planet will be placed for easier evening viewing later in the year.

Saturn & Jupiter Both gas giants are now visible in our evening skies, rising in the SE a�er 11pm. A stunning vista is visible a�er 11.30pm on July 5th, when the two planets form a triangle with the Full Moon, making them easy to iden fy (see diagram). Jupiter and Saturn both benefit from being viewed through binoculars or a telescope, where you may spot the larger moons of both planets, the rings of Saturn, Jupiter’s cloud belts and its Great Red Spot (the largest an cyclonic storm in the solar system, which has been raging for over a hundred years). These two planets will not rise high in the sky so a clear view to the south is required. A stroll along our beau ful cliff top on a late summer evening is the ideal place to spot these planets. (If viewing through binoculars or a telescope, observe later at night as heat haze or sea mist frequently disrupt seeing condi ons).

Moon This month’s full moon on July 5th is tradi onally known as the Buck Moon to Na ve American tribes, as it coincides with the me of year when male deer start to regrow their velvet antlers. July’s full moon also goes by the names Thunder Moon, Hay Moon, and the Wart Moon.

“

I was an incredibly picky eater as a child. I remember wan ng to like tomatoes because they were such a lovely bright colour but s ll I wouldn’t eat them! It was only a�er my mother started growing them at home that I finally plucked one straight from the plant and popped it, warm from the sun, into my mouth - delicious!

”

Would you like to see your youngsters spending more me outdoors and get them ea ng healthy foods too? What be er idea than to involve the kids in growing their own?

While we’d all love a string of willing, young, helpers on the vegetable plot you do have to be realis c. Children can have short a en on spans, will only want to do the jobs that appeal to them, and usually expect quick results. Us adults on the other hand tend to be stuck in our ways, place great importance in doing things slowly and methodically and don’t usually take well to sudden changes of plan! So how can you encourage your li le ones, without boring them out of the garden, or having them dig up your row of prize leeks?

If it is at all possible give children a space that is completely their own on the plot. Get hold of some good quality child size tools and encourage their a empts even if it isn’t quite what you’d have done - if digging holes and making mud pies is more in their line than neat rows of seedlings perhaps they could create a wildlife area? A shallow dish sunk into the ground can be used by birds, frogs, toads and hedgehogs, and a log pile will be home to all sorts of insects plus providing a possible hedgehog home. Giant sunflowers are great fun, especially if you have a growing compe on, and wild flower seeds can just be sca ered and will, in me, encourage useful insects and birds - natural pest control!

Keen young growers can browse seed packets or catalogues to see what takes their fancy.

Quick growing crops are a good sugges on radishes and salad leaves pop up in no me at all and should give them almost instant sa sfac on! Sweet young carrots are likely to

tempt even picky eaters, as are those lovely li le cherry tomatoes. Fruit, such as strawberries and raspberries is usually popular, and if you haven’t got any of your own planted yet you can always get them enthusias c by having an a�ernoon out at the pick your own farm. Ready grown plug plants can be good for helping them to set up an ‘instant’ plot - take a trip out to the garden centre to see what is on offer. If you already have seedlings started, then they could have the choice of some for their own plot. Finally, don’t forget ‘indoor’ growing ac vi es too clean out the bo om half of a boiled egg and draw a face on it. Fill it with co on wool soaked in water and sprinkle on some cress seeds - in just a few days the egg man will be growing hair and not only can they cut his hair but they can eat it too!

Get growing!

Help Teah to Save the World Teah Bannister (15) from Lockyers Drive, Ferndown, has been given a life changing opportunity to take part in a Save the World Trip next summer. The trip organised

by Ringwood School and Camps International will be for a month and Teah and the other students will get involved with projects such as saving elephants, beach cleans and helping to build schools.

Teah is passionate about eco projects, nature and wildlife. To be able to take part in the trip the students have to fundraise £4,500 themselves and, although Teah has been busy delivering this magazine, cleaning, gardening and painting fences the Covid19 pandemic has hindered her plans for fundraising this spring/ summer.

adventure and are both feeling nervacited (a mixture of nervous and excited) about it.

They are hoping to raise £3,000 of the money needed to fund the trip through sponsorship.

They appreciate times are hard for people at the moment but if you would like to sponsor them for any amount, big or small they will be eternally grateful to you.

www.justgiving.com/ crowdfunding/gailbannister If you would like to follow their progress or offer support in anyway, Gail can be reached on 07985 989538.

You can also follow their progress by friend requesting Gail Bannister (Lavington/Peebles) on Facebook.

Her Mum, Gail Bannister, came up with an idea, combining one of her lifetime ambitions, a new fitness regime and a hell of a challenge.

Gail and Teah will be setting out for Lands End on July 17th (the day the schools break up for the summer) and are planning to cycle to John O’Groats. The aim is to achieve this in two weeks but they are allowing four. This is a massive challenge for them both, having never attempted anything like it before.
