News from Westminster As regular readers will know, one of the challenges of writing this column is that the deadline for submission is around 2-3 weeks before publication. I am writing this in early September, and events in Parliament are fast moving and uncertain. We have had one unsuccessful vote on having a general election – we are due to have another vote very shortly!

Our current Parliamentary session has lasted longer than any in almost 400 years, and parliamentarians on both sides of the political divide have called for a Queen’s Speech. This requires that Parliament be prorogued for a period to prepare for the new session and allow the State Opening to occur. Parliament was due to rise in mid-September for three weeks for conference recess, and prorogation adds a few more days onto this.

During the conference recess and as always, I will spend most of the time when Parliament is not sitting in the constituency.

Many constituents have also asked me to meet charities in Manchester at the party conference, which I am planning to attend. It may seem that conference season is a time to be particularly tribal in terms of political parties – here in Dorset that is far from true for me. It is always a pleasure when the Lib Dem conference is in Bournemouth as we host an old friend to stay so that he can attend – which raises a few eyebrows!

government is unwavering in its commitment to the Sino-British Declaration, and that this position has been made clear to the Chinese government.

Whatever happens next in Parliament – whether a general election or not, I will continue to do all I can to deliver a successful Brexit. I do not believe that it is in anyone’s interest to delay further. This will simply increase uncertainty for residents and businesses alike.

I continue to hold regular surgeries in the constituency so please do get in touch if there is something you need help with. Email me on michael.tomlinson.mp@parliament.uk or contact my office on 01202 624216. You can also follow what I’ve been doing on Twitter @ Michael4mdnp or Facebook www.facebook. com/michael4MDNP or on my website www. michaeltomlnison.org.uk .

Michael Tomlinson MP for Mid Dorset & North Poole www.michaeltomlinson.org.uk

My inbox has been very busy recently – of course many emails about Brexit, but also concerns about a range of local issues. I have held meetings with constituents about many of these, including concerning the Wareham level crossing, pollution and environmental damage in rural areas, protection of community assets and anti-social behaviour including stalking. Many people have also been in touch about international matters, in particular following worrying reports from Hong Kong. Having been part of a delegation to Hong Kong last year, I know that the

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!

Talking about Wildlife...

Return of the birds Migration is a form of adaptation, vital to survival, as the changing seasons vary climate. As autumn approaches, we will start to see migrant birds returning to the UK, completing a journey of thousands of miles. What may look like chaos to us as we witness flocks of birds pass above, is actually part of a planned and calculated flight, unique to a species. Some will take a direct route, whereas others may prefer to follow a costal course.

In the South of the UK, we are lucky to be winter hosts to members of the thrush family such as fieldfares and redwings; two migrant birds that resemble eachother. Fieldfares are large and yellowbreasted, whereas Redwings can be identified by distinctive bursts of orangey-red under its wings.

Returning to nest in Iceland and Scandinavia around the end of March, these birds take this time to indulge in our berry-laden hedgerows, parks and woodlands. Dorset Wildlife Trust’s Kingcombe Meadow Nature Reserve offers an excellent opportunity to see these migrating birds with its abundance of thick hedgerows. Fieldfares are sociable birds and can be seen in flocks of over 200.

Increasing numbers of migrating birds, such as the fieldfares and redwings, are being spotted in our gardens. A combination of freezing conditions and the dramatic decrease of insect populations forces

these birds to take refuge, so don’t forget to top up your bird feeders or provide mealworms, cheese and suet to help keep feathered visitors energised this autumn and winter. Also look out for geese and wading birds will arrive in September and October in their hundreds and thousands. Dark-bellied brent geese flock to southern shores in early October.

The Chesil Beach Centre, over looking the Fleet Lagoon, is a great place to see these birds in action.

Holes Bay, Poole Harbour is the estuary (tidal mouth) of serval rivers and is therefore another perfect place to look out for migrating birds and some fantastic flocks can be seen late in the afternoon there. Coastal areas make excellent vantage points for a keen bird watcher, or even if you’re just starting out.

Tips for watching migrating birds: 1. Check tide times and take precautions with appropriate clothing.

2. Time your visits: geese are mostly likely to be seen at sunrise and sunset.

3. Keep a record of birds arriving and departing over the season.

4. Don’t forget to pack your binoculars!

Bournemouth-based drumming band, Samba Panache, will heat up the atmosphere for the evening, and in a fitting finale participants will have the opportunity to watch fireworks light up the night sky across Poole Bay after their walk.

Maria Tidy, Wessex Cancer Trust’s community engagement manager, said: “This is an adrenaline-fuelled event which requires an open mind and the determination to take up the challenge.

All the money raised will go directly to providing free and local support to anyone living with cancer, so we wouldn’t want anyone to get cold feet!

If you think you’re a good match for this we’d love to hear from you.”

Registration is £20 per person, or £35 for a pair, with a sponsorship goal of £80. The event takes place outside Sandbanks Beach Café on Tuesday 5th November at 5.30pm.

The Adventures of Daichi

The Adventures of Daichi

The Dorset Publications Camper Van Daichi The Dashing Dude, our much-loved campervan, was missed last month. Certainly, one lady was quite upset that he had not taken us anywhere as we were too busy sailing the ocean waves around Alaska. Daichi himself had felt quite jilted and although he seemed ‘happy’ we had enjoyed ourselves, there was that little ‘frost’ in the air when he acknowledged ‘how pleased he was for us’. These Japanese vans do have a way about them… Well this month he was determined to make it up and he took us somewhere we had never been before – The Dorset Show. Yes! The Dorset Show. Can you believe it, we have never been.

How ridiculous is that? I am sure that Daichi thought he could compete with all those immaculately dressed stallions. He rather fancied himself being groomed and brushed down.

Or maybe it was all those jodhpurs and long leather boots, but that is going a little far as it is a family magazine after all. Daichi, really.

The day was filled with blue

The skill of the scurry racing

Amazing final jump of the six-bar event skies and some of our wonderful fluffy white clouds. My Mum and Dad came with us as Mum was celebrating her 75th Birthday and my Dad of 84 drove all the way from Hull for the special weekend. What better way than for Daichi to take us all out? One thing to mention here is that when Daichi was kitted out with all his new (designer, of course) interior, we made sure there were three seats in the back, not two. We find this useful as the three of us can go out, with another couple. It also means the bed is wider when it rolls out, though the cupboards are a little narrower, so we had the fridge fitted under the back seat to give us more space for the cupboards. Clever!

Off we all set. Daichi grinning from wheel to wheel. It was busy! The car park was full. On arriving in the showground there were thousands of people walking around the stalls, eating and drinking at the many food places and looking for bargains in the market area. We love the atmosphere

29 at these events. There is something quite special about our English country shows and this was no exception. We were lucky enough to have tickets for the member’s lawn, so we found perfect seats right next to the fence to watch the horses and their riders give us a show of their lives. They all looked so handsome and fine. The winning jump of the six-bar event was a spectacular 5 foot 10 high! We have a photo of the last leap. It was so exciting.

“The Osborne Refrigerators Double Harness Scurry Class” was such fun.

Nearly as nifty as Daichi on those country roads, the horses speeded between cones, in and out, left and right, to be the fastest to the finish line with no faults. That must be really exhilarating to take part in. Daichi is looking into it… uh oh…

The elegance of the “Coaching Marathon Class” in comparison showed Daichi the sedate life of the rich in the past. It evoked images of young ladies whiling away their hours in their long lacy gowns, waiting for their Prince to sweep them off their feet. Daichi is getting all romantic now. Beautiful, graceful, stylish and wonderful to watch. The judges really

The end of a fantastic day

Now Daichi... don’t go getting ideas! have to know what they are looking for to pick a winner from such a polished class.

Quite different and very much in contrast was the “Adrenaline Tour Motorbike Stunt Show”. How skilled are these riders in flying their bikes high in the air, screaming off on two wheels, flipping their machines at right angles. Wow. I really am hoping that Daichi does not get any ideas on this, or we may feel like we are all at sea again!

What a fantastic day. Of course, a ‘little’ shopping had to be done and Dad bought me my Birthday present (shush don’t remind him it is not till December…). A lovely handcrafted bird bath. I also bought a leather door stop which I am rather fond of.

Mum and Dad loved the whole day too. Daichi was as proud as punch that we enjoyed ourselves so much.

On the way home I did see him looking at himself admiringly, at the reflection in a shop window. I am sure he saw the muscles of a Mustang or was it the strength of a Steed? Daichi was in his element. So were we. Where will he take us next month I wonder!

Going Green...

Looking after our planet is essential.

It has become more and more apparent that we need to care for our environment. With that in mind I took an honest look at how much plastic I use on a daily basis. What could I replace by an eco-friendly alternative? I have been amazed by what I saw.

Toothpaste. Traditional toothpaste is not only stored in environmentally damaging plastic, but it contains chemicals which could be damaging to our own health too. The toothpaste opposite is natural and contained in glass, which can be reused. I chose to try the tea tree version. Known for its powerful healing properties, throughout history, Tea Tree leaves have been used to heal cuts, treat burns, and as a topical application for infections. This toothpaste is a paste-like clay, so it takes a little adjusting, but I have to say I have found it really good and much less harsh on my aging gums. The other alternative is the peppermint toothpaste tablets. With a more traditional flavour these would be ideal for when we are travelling. As they are not liquid, they will not take up any hand luggage space, in those little plastic bags either! Double bonus.

Of course, I needed a plastic free

toothbrush to go with it, so the sustainable beechwood version opposite is perfect! There is a children’s one, soft bristles or medium. Suitable for all the family.

Stephen, my husband has tried the shave bar recently and proudly showed me his silky-smooth skin after shaving the other day! He really likes this product, so we highly recommend it. Again, it is natural for the skin, no chemicals and it is in a plastic free container.

A natural handmade shaving soap, for a traditional wet shave, so wave goodbye to harsh gels and foams, and say hello to a gently soothing and creamy lather. A winner to us.

Stephen hasn’t tried the classic shave with the Bambaw’s stylish double edge safety razor yet. I may have to work on that one!

We can all make small changes, one step at a time, that will make a huge difference to our planet, our wildlife and our oceans… and indeed better for our own health too.

Gardening Tips

On Your Plot Benefits of Garlic

Time spent on clearing and preparing your beds now will pay dividends next year. Make the most of the autumn sunshine to get compost dug into bare beds and you’ll have saved yourself hours of work on those chilly Spring days.

Jobs for October :-

• Make sure that plenty of sun can get to your pumpkins in order to get them ripe in time for Halloween.

• Plant garlic, shallots and Japanese onions.

• Leaving dead seed heads etc. on your flower borders will provide valuable food and shelter for garden wildlife over winter, as will leaving an undisturbed log or two. Build a rough shelter in a quiet corner and you might get a hedgehog move in!

• If you get lots of fallen leaves on your plot don’t waste them. Make a bin from chicken wire attached to 4 posts. Fill this with the leaves and they will rot down to give you sweet-smelling black leaf mould in one to two years tim.

As the days get shorter and the weather gets cooler the focus on your vegetable plot starts to turn from growing and harvesting, into clearing and tidying.

October is a good month for taking stock of how things have gone this year and starting to make plans for what you will grow in the future.

Removing spent crops exposes slugs and other such pests to birds and other garden friendly wildlife. It also gives you the chance to look after your soil and assess how the space will be used next. Crop rotation is important so if the space is to remain bare over winter it may be wise to make notes about what grew where this season.

Add matter from your compost heap to newly cleared areas, either digging it in, or leaving a layer on the top where the worms will gradually incorporate it into the deeper soil over winter. If the soil is heavy leaving it bare will enable frosts to help break it up. Our soil is lighter and benefits from being covered over - we use flattened cardboard boxes which protect from the rain (and we’ve all had enough of that lately!), and

also help keep the weeds at bay.

You may think that it’s all too late in the year to be planting, but there are some crops that definitely need to be thought of now, and others that, given an early start now, will benefit next Spring.

If you’ve not grown garlic before, then do try it - it’s easy to grow, can help protect other crops from pests, and with just a small amount of space you can grow enough to see you through the whole year! Now is definitely the time to order your garlic bulbs and they can be planted anytime between now and Christmas, but preferably not when the soil is too wet. Rather than planting all the garlic together it may pay to spread it around the plot as the strong smell can be an aid in keeping pests such as the carrot root fly away from other crops.

Each garlic bulb should be separated into individual cloves and the cloves are planted with the pointed end uppermost, just below the surface, leaving about 4 inches between each one. They like well drained soil and you’ll be pleasantly surprised in the long winter days to see their green tips creeping upwards. Each clove matures into a whole new bulb. The traditional time for harvesting garlic is in June, on the longest day of the year and if properly dried and stored it will keep right through the winter.

Would you like some fresh, tender, young, peas early in the Spring next year? Look out for hardy varieties that can be planted now. They can be overwintered and are able to withstand the frosts, though protection with a cloche will be appreciated. We will be starting ours in pots to keep in the polytunnel over winter ready for early planting next season.

Talbot Village Trust helps Wimborne Model Town deliver new education offering Talbot Village Trust has donated more than £2,500 to Wimborne Model Town and Gardens to allow the charity to complete its 1950s school and shop education area.

The grant giving charity, Talbot Village Trust, provided the model town with the funds required to set up and run the 1950s school and shop education area, which has helped to develop the school visit programme. This new area will give children an insight into what education and retail would have been like in the 50s.

Funding was also received to support the model town’s water sustainability project that collects rainwater and reduces the main water usage through state-of-theart digital technology.

sustainability plan, which will allow us to keep our operating costs down in the future.”

Russell Lucas-Rowe, Trustee of Talbot Village Trust, added: “The model town has been part of Wimborne since the 1950s and it continues to teach new generations about the town’s history. We therefore believed it was fundamental to provide the charity with the funds required to enhance its education offering.”

Talbot Village Trust meets biannually and is accepting applications for funding from both previous and new applicants in the area before the Trustees meet in spring 2020. Please go to www. talbotvillagetrust.org for more information.

Greg Hoar, general manager of Wimborne Model Town and Gardens, said: “We are very grateful to Talbot Village Trust for their grant which has enabled us to complete our 1950s school and shop project. This in return has allowed us to broaden our remit as an education charity.

“On average we receive 26,000 visitors each year and so we are pleased to have received the funding required to put the wheels into motion for our water

Tastes so good...

PULLED PORK SANDWICHES

As the temperature drops, we find ourselves wanting more easy to make, comfort food. Not only is this dish simple to create is also tastes delicious. Perfect for quiet Autumn nights in.

Ingredients for 12 servings 1 medium onion (chopped) ½ cup of ketchup ¼ cup of packed brown sugar ¼ cup of tomato paste 2tbsp. Worcestershire sauce 1/3 cup of cider vinegar 2tbp. sweet paprika 1 ½ tsp. Salt 1 ¼ tsp. ground black pepper 4lb boneless pork shoulder 12 buns or ciabatta rolls

Equipment: Large slow-cooker, large bowl, forks Method: Mix together the onion, ketchup, brown sugar, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, paprika, mustard and then add the salt and the pepper. Once you have done this, pour the sauce mixture into the slow cooker pot and add the pork, making sure to also coat it in sauce.

Pop the lid on top of the slow cooker and cook the pork. Do this on a low setting (one which the manufacturer recommends).

Cook until the pork is tender for between 8-10 hours.

When it is finally cooked, move the pork from the slow cooker into a large bowl. Change the temperature setting on the cooker to ‘high’, cover the pot and then cook the sauce. Do this until boiling point is reached to make the mixture thicker.

Pull the pork apart into shreds (you can use 2 forks for this). Then put the shredded pork back into the slow cooker, mixing it into the sauce. Cover once again and cook on high.

Finally, once warmed through, spoon mixture into buns and serve.
