Dear Wimborne, Merley & Colehill residents, We certainly have had mixed weather recently! Did you get caught in any of the snow we had? It took us two hours, instead of twenty minutes, to get home one evening and how we got up that hill I do not know, but we did it. One friend of ours abandoned his car after 5 hours on a journey that should take 25 minutes and walked the rest of the way home! I am sure you have your own stories. Needless to say, we have all had enough of that now and are definitely looking forward to the sunshine, more than ever.

Fingers crossed!

Hopefully we have a ray of sunshine here in the magazine with lots of good news and articles for you to read. Nellie is back! She took us to a “Murder Mystery Dinner” which sounds rather sombre but was actually a whole lot of fun. I do hope you enjoy the story as much as we enjoyed the evening. Nellie highly recommends you try one. Graham’s contact details are included should you decide to give it a go.

Our loyal advertisers are here to help you as always.

Some new ones too. They would all love to hear from you so please do the usual and mention us when calling them. If you have time to write a ‘testimonial’ for any of them, for good work they have done, do send it to us. We, and the advertisers, love to hear from you.

The lucky winner of the prize wordsearch last month was Mrs A Beeston. Well done! Will it be you this month? Do fill it in as you never know.

Stephen, Hayden, Nellie and myself do hope you are having a Very Happy Easter. May we all be able to get outside and enjoy it!

Best wishes,

Debbie & Stephen Corney Useful Numbers

Do you drive an automatic car?

The majority of car manufacturers recommend changing the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) on automatic gearboxes every 40,000 miles.

We have invested and are now equipped with the latest ATF exchanger machine, which runs flushing detergent through the gearbox, thus ensuring a 100% exchange of the total fluid capacity, unlike traditional methods.

Are you experiencing any of the following?  Rough gear change during acceleration  Slow or delayed gearshifts  Difficult to move from Park to Drive/Reverse

News from Westminster I receive many emails from constituents each day, and often they ask me to sign Early Day Motions, known as EDMs. As a rule, I do not sign EDMs and many people have asked me why. It is not because I do not care about the particular cause, it is simply that EDMs don’t actually achieve anything. They cost thousands of pounds to administer each year, and in my view they do not represent value for money.

EDMs have no chance of changing the law.

Effectively they are petitions that only MPs can sign. I feel that these have now been taken over by parliamentary e-petitions that everyone can sign, which can then prompt a Parliamentary debate.

It takes little effort for a Member of Parliament to sign an EDM, but I feel this gives an impression that action is being taken, or that EDMs are noticed, when in fact they are not.

Being fair, at their best and when they were first introduced, they were a tool for attracting attention to an issue, or cause. But now there are multiple ways through social media to publicise such issues.

Some EDMs are simply trivial – the importance of Winnie-the-Pooh, or pointing out that beards can be healthy. Of course I love Winnie-the-Pooh - no, really I do! - but I’m not sure that signing an EDM will add to the sum of A A Milne’s work. Other EDMs can be extremely technical, using language which even MPs signing struggle to understand.

When a constituent has a concern about an issue, I would far rather write directly to a minister, which I do regularly, or arrange to discuss the issues face to face. I have had numerous meetings with ministers, a little bit like my own “surgeries”, where I have raised concerns, challenged them about policy or suggest changes to forthcoming legislation. For example, I have recently had such a meeting with the Secretary of State for the Environment to discuss farming and a minister from the Home Office to discuss prisons. This is in addition to more informal discussions with ministers about a wide range of issues affecting Dorset and our country.

Constituents also sometimes ask me to ask the Prime Minister a question at

Prime Minister’s Questions. PMQs is the most wellknown aspect of the work in Parliament. To ask a question of the Prime Minister, MPs have to submit a question to the ballot – so it is a matter of chance whether I get chosen to ask a question. Far less high profile are the daily departmental questions.

In these, I can ask ministers questions about their departmental area. Those of you who follow these matters closely will know that I frequently raise issues about Dorset, including in my campaign for better mobile and broadband coverage!

If you want to find out about my contributions to debates and questions in Parliament, you can find them all on my website: www.michaeltomlinson.org.uk/parliament I continue to hold regular surgeries for constituents all year round and if you have an issue that you need help with, please do get in touch; email me onmichael.tomlinson.mp@parliament.uk or contact my office on 01202 624216. You can also follow what I’ve been doing on Twitter @Michael4mdnp or Facebookwww.facebook.com/michael4MDNP or on my websitewww.michaeltomlinson.org.uk.

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 Wimborne 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!

Cloudy2Clear GUARANTEE All Customers That An Average Quote Will Take No Longer Than 20 Mins!!!

Wildlife News

Talking about Wildlife...

Barn Owls

The silent flight of a barn owl is a majestic and wonderful sight for any nature lover. With the features of their heart shaped faces and deep black eyes, they are an unmistakable icon of the countryside in the UK. However, it may surprise you to hear that the odds are stacked against these wonderful creatures, with a long list of challenges and problems they face daily.

Firstly, there’s the two things we all need: food and shelter. Declining or unsuitable habitat means that both of these vital elements to their survival immediately puts them at threat. Suitable roosting sites, and then good quality unimproved grassland for their prey to live (such as voles and mice) can be hard to come by if the quality of the habitat close to them isn’t good enough. During the breeding season, they need to have a plentiful food source within 1km of their roost – their chicks can eat their own body weight in food in one night. The next challenge is overcoming the physical limitations of the barn owls’ wings, which aren’t waterproof. They are also unable to store a lot of body fat, and therefore are particularly prone to starvation during prolonged periods of severe weather or when there is shortage of prey.

Taking all this into account, it really is a miracle that five chicks survived and fledged from the roost at Lorton Meadows Nature Reserve in Weymouth last year. Thousands of us watched them on DWT’s webcam, as the parents tirelessly found food for their chicks and kept them safe and warm until it was time for them to venture out into the world.

Dorset Wildlife Trust has launched an appeal to raise £20,000 to fund vital habitat work at Lorton Meadows Nature Reserve in Weymouth, to help keep food and shelter

abundant for these, and other barn owls in the area. The nature reserve, which has been managed by DWT for 20 years this year, is abundant with flower-rich hay meadows, mature hedgerows and woodland – all holding the small mammals that barn owls hunt, such as voles, mice and shrews.

Conservation work needed to keep this a suitable site for barn owls to thrive in includes: reducing areas of encroaching scrub to increase areas of grassland where barn owls feed; putting up 1900m of fencing to maintain the grassland by cattle grazing; holding 300 conservation volunteer days, and managing over 300m of hedgerows on the site.

We urgently need to reach our fundraising targets to complete this work.

Zahra and I are very much looking forward to moving to Wimborne in the summer. We send our greetings in the Lord Jesus Christ and thank you for all who have prayed for, and worked towards this appointment. We assure you of our goodwill and prayers for you all, and ask you to pray for us too.

Joint Ownership of Property?

The Trust Deed would include the following details:

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

• Each purchasers’ contribution to the property,

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

It is advisable to own a shared property as ‘Tenants in Common’ either in equal or unequal shares, in order to protect each parties interests. It is also advisable to draw up a ‘Trust Deed’. This would set out how your respective interests in the property are to be held; and what would happen in the event of a relationship breakdown, re-sale or death of any party.

Nicola Lowe

(Inc. mortgage payments and ongoing costs)

• What would happen if one party refuses to pay • How to value the property on sale as well as rights of refusal on a resale

• Any additional Stamp Duty Land Tax that is required

• Potential Capital Gains Tax or Inheritance Tax implications

The Adventures of Nellie The Dorset Publications Camper Van A Murder Mystery Dinner! Catch the killer, what next? After a murder mystery walk not long ago, you would think that Nellie had had enough of all that taxing of the brain cells to work out “who did it?”. Well, it seems not. The Rotary Club cordially invited her to take us to The Kings Hotel in Christchurch for an evening of food, drink, entertainment and clue finding.

The scene was set… “Some strange things had been happening to the Rotary Choir. Sue Prano walks with a limp, Barry Tone is still rubbing in the cream and Ivor Rees now has to wear a wig. The choir master Ivor Baton thought the choir were not ready for their first performance so he called

A life-like wig and true acting

It was a dark and stormy night... an extra rehearsal. Scandalously at 8pm Ivor Baton’s body was found in the backstage office, but no murder weapon was found. His body revealed that he had eaten a piece of cake just prior to his death and that traces of poison were found. Death would have been instantaneous”. So, what happened, who did it and why? Those were the all-important questions to catch the culprit and bring him (or was it her?) to true justice.

Nellie was not at all sure how this would play out. She was kind of expecting a whole play around the dinner with complicated and confusion actions, so she was a bit nervous to say the least. Stephen was chosen as a suspect and given a sheet of paper with statements on it.

There were 6 suspects in all. After our starter which was really rather tasty, the first suspect was put to the test.

The ‘audience’ were given numbered questions and each suspect had to

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

29 answer these questions using the statements on the sheet provided. The ‘suspects’ were all members of the rotary, or friends. Each was a budding actor it appeared, and Nellie was rather impressed by their eloquent responses, carefully mimicking the tone and style of the actor they were performing. We were in awe.

Stephen’s turn came and as his sheet mentioned a wig, he quickly borrowed a lady’s fluffy scarf and plopped it on his head. He did look rather silly but it all added to the fun.

We had two clues to go on… 1. there was one broken desk clock that had stopped at 7.50pm and 2. there was one piece of cake icing in the backstage office where Ivor Baton was shockingly found. We, in the audience had ten questions for each suspect and it was our job to decipher who told a lie and thus catch the murderer out. Several members of the audience took this all very seriously and wrote down the questions as well as the answers in detail, solemnly discussing their thoughts with the person next to them. This was an alarming find and the wrongdoer had to be caught!

It was a great, amusing and entertaining evening in fact. Between

Serious detectives at work each course there were a couple of suspects put to the rigorous test of our searching questions. Lucy Lastic was a clear favourite… but did she do it? Maybe you could contact Graham at “Catch the Killer” on 01425 478444 and have a meal yourself with a few friends to see who you think “did it?” He can also be contacted by email graham@catchthekiller.co.uk.

Stephen, as well as all the suspects, got a very thankful certificate for his Oscar performance. He graciously took a bow to a roar of an applause.

I am not sure he has been contacted however for any more roles, the phone has been very quiet… time will tell.

Nellie wants to thank the Rotary team for all their hard work. These groups work so hard to help others. Their purpose is “to organise events to bring people together through activities and projects to enrich the lives of others and generate community spirit.”

What a great purpose! They are often looking for new members as well as sponsorship so please contact your area team to offer them any help you can give.

Where on earth will Nellie take us next?

The suspects all line up to hear the verdict

Who was W. J. Hawker Two years ago the Priest’s House Museum put on an exhibition of watercolours by W. J. Hawker. Most of the works of art focused on the natural landscape around Wimborne.

The museum has little information about the artist. However, while preparing this exhibition it was discovered that a photographic board had been used as a mount for one of the watercolours. The board is signed ‘W.J. Hawker, Bournemouth’.

Subsequently, another watercolour loaned for the exhibition has revealed further details. When it was recently removed from its frame the owner discovered ‘W.J. Hawker, The Square, Wimborne, Dorset’ written on the reverse. This address had then been crossed out and replaced by one in East Twickenham.

William John Hawker (b. 1845) is known to have been trading in Bournemouth as a photographer in 1878. He became known for photographing celebrities of the time, such as the poet and artist Aubrey Beardsley and the writer Robert Louis Stevenson.

Could he be the artist?

Celebrity Interview:

Clint Eastwood

By Tim Saunders

These days when most people hit 87 years old they reside in a care home, having had to sell their homes to foot the bills. Not so for multiple awardwinning Hollywood heart throb Clint Eastwood who is still very much active. In fact, the next film he will direct is entitled A Star is Born in 2018.

Worth over £300m, it seems that my old boss the late Paul Cave, who was manager of legendary crooner Frankie Vaughan for many years, was wrong about Clint. “It was the ‘50s and Clint flew over from the States to meet me in my London office; I couldn’t see any talent and couldn’t do anything for him,” he told me. Soon after their meeting Clint secured his first role in American western television series Rawhide earning around £70 a week but was criticised for how he came across including delivering his lines through clenched teeth. The latter has stayed with him throughout his almost 70-year career.

He has contributed to over 50 films over his career as actor, director, producer, and composer. He has acted in several television series, including his starring role in Rawhide. He started directing in 1971, and made his debut as a producer in 1982, with Firefox, though he had been functioning as uncredited producer on all of his Malpaso Company films since Hang ‘Em High in 1968.

Eastwood also has contributed music to his films, either through performing, writing, or composing.

He has mainly starred in western, action, and drama films. According to the box office–revenue tracking website Box Office Mojo, films featuring Clint Eastwood have grossed a total of more than $1.68 billion domestically, with an average of $37

million per film. He has his own Warner Bros.

Records distributed imprint Malpaso Records, as part of his deal with Warner Brothers, which has released all the scores of his films from The Bridges of Madison County onwards. Clint composed the film scores of Mystic River, Million Dollar Baby, Flags of Our Fathers, Grace Is Gone, Changeling, Hereafter, J. Edgar, and the original piano compositions for In the Line of Fire. He wrote and performed the song heard over the credits of Gran Torino.

After Rawhide in the 1960s Clint went on to star in a series of spaghetti westerns including: A Fist Full of Dollars and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

The 1970s saw him take the leading role of police inspector Harry Callaghan in Dirty Harry, delivering one of his most memorable lines: “Make my day punk”.

When Sean Connery turned down the role of James Bond it was offered to Clint but it wasn’t for him. In the 1970s he started directing films, the first being Play Misty for Me as well as his first western, High Plains Drifter.

He went on to star alongside Meryl Streep in the romantic film Bridges of Madison County and in 2008 directed, produced and had the lead role in Gran Torino about a ageing widower who watches his neighbourhood fall into disrepute and he single handedly takes on those responsible for this.

Often choosing the role of a hard man he plays a part that every man and woman can relate to and sympathise with.

As one might expect of a Hollywood actor Clint has had a series of relationships with leading ladies and has several children. A lifelong non-smoker Clint practices a healthy lifestyle which includes transcendental meditation. He is a restaurateur and golfer. He is also a pianist and although he never made it as a professional musician, he passed on the influence to his son Kyle Eastwood, a successful jazz bassist and composer.

Tim Saunders is an author, journalist and businessman.

He meets celebrities, goes on holiday and road tests cars.

Gardening Tips

house & garden

a beginner’s

GUIDE Strawberries

Strawberries can be grown in most gardens but are particularly successful in milder areas with frost free autumns.

If space is limited they are very suitable for container growing - in pots, hanging baskets, even window boxes. Best of all is a strawberry tower or terracotta strawberry pot which allows you to grow a lot of plants in one place and has the added advantage of keeping the fruit off the ground and so dirt free. There are early, mid-season and late varieties so you could try a mixture of plants to extend your season.

If using a container, use good compost and a slow-release fertiliser and soak the soil before planting. Have some netting ready for when the fruit appears or the birds might

beat you to it! If planting in the garden, you could consider planting through black plastic sheeting, pegged down and the edges buried to stop it blowing away. It’s best to mound up the soil in the centre where the plants will grow so that water will run off either side. Using this method means no weeding is required and you won’t need to put straw or other matting under the plants to keep the fruit clean. It also helps keep in the moisture and encourages early crops by warming the soil. Protect the flowers in spring if frost is expected, with double sheets of newspaper.

Replace plants every 2-3 years which can be done cheaply by spreading out some of the runners from a plant and pegging them down.

Once they have rooted and are growing well, lift carefully, detach from the parent plant and transplant to a new plot.

Hot Cross Buns

A traditional Easter, springtime treat, why not bake a batch to share with friends, neighbours and colleagues? Delicious served either warm with butter or just plain, at any time of day.

Ingredients for 12 servings 1.

Dough 500g Strong Bread Flour 7g Easy bake yeast 275ml whole milk 50g Butter (unsalted, cold, diced) 1 medium beaten egg 75g Unrefined golden caster sugar 1 ½ tsp salt 2.

Toppings 75g Sultanas 2 tsp Mixed Spice 100g Plain white flour 50g Mixed peel 50g Apricot Jam 2 medium egg yolks

MIX: Boil the milk in a pan, remove from heat then add the butter. Leave to cool until warm. Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl and then add the milk and beaten egg, stirring with a wooden spoon. KNEAD: On a lightly floured surface, knead the mixture for approx. 10 minutes. RISE: Lightly grease the large bowl, place the dough in the bowl then cover with a clean cloth and leave to rise until doubled in size – this could be up to two hours dependent on how warm the room is. SHAPE: Sift the mixed spice over the dough, then knead in the sultanas and mixed peel. Slice into 12 even sized pieces, roll into balls and place, well-spaced, on a lined baking tray PROVE: Cover the dough again, and leave until doubled in size again. Preheat oven to fan 180C/200C/Gas 6. BAKE: Score a cross on top of each bun with a sharp knife. Mix the plain flour with a tbsp. of water at a time to form a paste.

You are responsible for maintaining any tree or hedge that falls within your boundary.

However, the owners of the tree have a duty of care to ensure the tree is safe. If the tree is protected, an application to the Council is required.

What can be done about High Hedges?

If you feel a hedge is too tall and affects the reasonable enjoyment of your house or garden, the initial step is to discuss it with your neighbours. If negotiation is unsuccessful, contact us to enquire about using the high hedges legislation.

What should I do if I think my tree is diseased or dying?

Seek our professional advice. We will inspect the tree and provide a solution.

How do I go about having a tree removed?

If you feel that tree removal is necessary then our first step is finding out it if the tree is protected. Following that we will survey the tree and provide a free quote.

My trees are protected, what can you do?

Any tree that is protected requires an application to be submitted to your local council to gain consent to carry out tree work.

Would you apply to the council on my behalf?

If you have works carried out by us, we offer to submit the application on your behalf at no extra fee, as part of our service.

What can I do if my trees are uprooting my drive?

In most circumstances we can overcome this problem by either root pruning or using variable surface layers.

How much is a quote?

We carry out all of our quotations for free as part of our service. We will schedule an appointment to visit and advise on the trees in questions and send a free of charge, no obligation quotation.

Why should I use you?

We pride ourselves on delivering a professional, reliable and stress free service.

From the original quotation right through to completion we work closely with all our clients to really understand their requirements and achieve the result you are looking for.
