Welcome...

The West Moors Directory

Dear Neighbours, Christmas 2016! Unbelievable many of us say. It is a time to reflect over the last year and Edition 138 start to look at what we want to do this coming 2017. Stephen and I with Hayden and good old Nellie have had a really good year. The summer for me was particularly special, spending much time at the beach with Hayden and his Stephen & Debbie Corney ‘life saving’ friends. We have been busy and also have had with our son Hayden time to take time out as a family. Nellie, the Dorset Publications Campervan continues to take us out, all over the south coast and beyond. Not quite to infinity... Last month she took us to Chessington Theme Park and you can read how a group of ‘ageing adults’ had a blast.

Now is the time to finalize all the preparations for Christmas Day. We also have three Birthdays at this time: on 25th November Hayden became a teenager! Oh oh... My Birthday is three days before Christmas as I didn’t want to miss out on those all important presents of course, and Stephen’s Birthday is on Boxing Day. It is an expensive time of the year to say the least, but very exciting.

The magazine has continued to help local trades people and we are truly grateful for that. The aim of our local Directory is to help you the resident find good local businesses that can do all those jobs you just cannot do yourselves. This in turn keeps our local trades busy and that helps all of us as well as the local economy.

We are very happy to promote local groups and societies for free. Just give one of us a call or send an email. If you have a company and are not featured here, but would like to be, please let us know. We use local people to distribute the magazines and would love to get your name to the local residents.

Stephen and myself wish you All the Very Best at this festive time. May you and your family and friends have a wonderful Christmas and a fantastic New Year!

WEST MOORS SINGERS CHRISTMAS CONCERTS

*JOYFUL CHRISTMAS*

Rehearsals are in full swing for our Christmas Concerts. We are delighted to announce that we have secured the services of John Watkins as our Musical Director for the two concerts. He is doing a superb job and he is really putting us through our paces with great degree of success, we all go home knowing we have learned something worthwhile and are improving week on week. It is so satisfying. The programme is an eclectic mix of the familiar with the unusual, certainly items that are new to the choir. There a few surprise items too. There is a good balance of powerful to peaceful but overall we feel that the name “Joyful Christmas” aptly describes the joy and fun we are experiencing in singing together and hope we can convey that to our audiences.

Our Christmas performances promise to be really excellent concerts with something for everyone. 14 December we are at St Anthony’s Church Hall Pinehurst Road and 16 December at the Barrington. Tickets from R Selby Quality Butcher Station Road West Moors or on the door on the night. £8 including a free programme.

We have had a wonderful influx of new singers and the choir is now about 36 strong including 7 basses and 6 Tenors.

Boy! Does that make a difference to our sound?! It is too late to join us

for this Christmas but we are already thinking ahead to our Spring Concerts and always welcome new singers. We meet every Monday night at 7.30 at St Martin’s Church Hall Station Road.

Finally we are delighted to announce that we have appointed a new long term Musical Director, namely Paul Barber recently retired MD of Parkstone Grammar and now teacher of piano and flute locally – see his advert in this magazine. We are all looking forward to exciting times ahead.

Hope to see you all at the concerts.

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 C 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 9GUV /QQTU 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!

NCS Rough Sleep Challenge Committed young people taking part in the BCHA-led National Citizen Service (NCS), slept rough for the night raising awareness and money for homeless people in Bournemouth this winter.

On 11th November 2016 a group of young people aged 16-17 years old took part in a 12-hour rough sleep. The challenge was a simulated version of a night on the streets.

They were woken up and moved on every few hours, like many homeless people are each night. They walked many miles throughout the night in all weather conditions.

The young people managed to raise over £500, this money will go towards redecorating James Michael House in Bournemouth. This property provides housing for homeless young people in Bournemouth, the young people were particularly passionate about this cause due to the residents being of a similar age. Any leftover donations will be used to give the residents a well needed activity day out. Donations are still being taken on our JustGiving page: www. justgiving.com/fundraising/BCHA-NCSRoughSleepFundraiser Rachael Cheney, NCS Staff, said: ‘I was overwhelmed by how dedicated the team were in helping homeless young people in their area. When asked why they were so passionate they said it was because it could happen to them at any point and they were still lucky enough to be at home.

We tried to make the experience as realistic as possible by first working through a Homes for Cathy workbook. We got them to think about different scenarios that could lead them to being made homeless and how they could overcome them. They also learnt about what being homeless really meant, to break any

stereotypes they may have had.

On the actual night they spent most of the time in a church car park and the NCS staff played different roles throughout the night, including a police officer moving the group on. They spent some time in the local woods in West Moors, to help them understand the loneliness and separation some homeless people might experience.

They were all fantastic and made the most of the challenge we set for them. They were so pleased when we played the role of a good Samaritan at around 3am and invited them in to the church for a hot drink and a donut.’

Harry Batson, NCS Participant, said: ‘NCS has given me a unique opportunity to take part in awesome activities and also give back to the community. This programme has made good use of my social skills, leadership and helped me further confront the world and its surroundings. I never realised how easy it was to help in the community and have fun whilst doing it!

What we, as NCS graduates, have achieved has truly made a difference to lives and is one of the best things I have ever done. I have definitely changed as a person for the better thanks to this course, and I fully encourage young people to also take part. So worth it!’

Wildlife News

Talking about Wildlife...

Fly away home...

Bird migration is perhaps one of the favourite natural phenomena of wildlife lovers. Summer long gone and the autumn foliage fading, the sky fills with the spectacle of migrating birds, heading to their winter quarters in Africa. The birds’ ability to navigate thousands of miles annually, often to the exact same locations year after year, has mystified people for centuries, and it is believed that they use the Earth’s magnetic fields, the sun, the moon, and the stars to guide their way.

Whilst many species migrate south from here, Britain, due to its temperate climate, plenitude of estuaries and long coastline, is an internationally important destination for millions of migrating birds from the Arctic, Siberia, Canada and Scandinavia. They arrive on our shores throughout the autumn to spend the season in a milder climate than their homelands offer. Winter visitors include redwing and brambling, as well as geese, ducks, swans and wading birds. The migrant birds frequently fly around in flocks of dozens to thousands of individuals, reflecting a fantastic silhouette against the sky. They

find comfort and safety in numbers; flocking together provides security from predators, and as the chilly nights settle in, huddling together provides the vital body warmth for survival.

Poole Harbour is one of the country’s most renowned bird estuaries, hosting thousands of migrants annually. The Brownsea Island lagoon, an internationally renowned destination for migrants, supports significant numbers of avocet, black-tailed godwit, oystercatcher, and redshank and spoonbill, amongst others. December is an opportune time in coastal areas, wetlands and estuaries, where many of the avian visitors make their winter home, to go bird watching. Should you not wish to venture outdoors, Dorset Wildlife Trust has teamed up with the Birds of Poole Harbour to produce a fantastic live avian reality show via a webcam, available on: http://www.birdsofpooleharbour.co.uk/ brownsea-webcam.

Visit www.dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk to find out more about our winter walks, and the best reserves to spot birds all year round.

..providing the answers

to your legal questions

This will be the first Christmas since my partner and I separated and we are struggling to agree on contact arrangements for our children.

For most parents, arranging contact with the children over the Christmas period can be a very simple process with both parents being able to agree to the times and dates. However, unfortunately in some cases, this is not so simple and agreeing contact with your ex-partner can be very difficult.

between both parents to allow the children to see both.

Communication is key to making arrangements, try to put your differences aside and work together. If you cannot communicate directly with your partner, then seek help from a family lawyer who can assist you with this.

If in the unfortunate event contact arrangements cannot be agreed, then both parents may wish to consider family mediation, where a trained mediator will be present to help guide you towards a mutual agreement.

There are no definite rules as to how, or when, If mediation cannot assist and all other avenues have Christmas contact should take place, each case is been exhausted then you need to seek the help of a different. However, the key consideration is ‘what is best Court, however please be aware that for the children’ and perhaps in some cases it is this will be timely and costly. appropriate to ask what the children would like.

If you need advice about family It is always best for parents to be pro-active to plan arrangements Harold G Walker’s contact over the Christmas period sooner, rather than Family team can help.

We are looking forward to having the family over for one last Christmas in our property as we are thinking of putting it on the market in the New Year to downsize to a Retirement Flat.

Is there anything we can do in advance to prepare for this change?

Lots of retirement properties also come with a variety of charges and fees. There is usually Ground Rent, Service Charges, Insurance Rent to be paid as well as all the usual outgoings payable on a property and so make sure you factor in these charges and budget carefully. There can also be hefty charges upon re-sale of the property which can be as much as 2% of the sale price.

This is a popular move these days as we look to retirement properties as lower maintenance options for later in life.

It’s a very different style of living so consider it carefully and see as many different options as you can before making any decisions. Retirement properties can provide excellent support at many different levels depending on what you’re looking for and it’s often one of the biggest moves people make in terms of lifestyle choice.

In terms of practical preparations you can make, you could obtain some information from local Estate Agents in your area and make contact with a local Solicitor about acting for you. With the family gathering together over the Christmas period, it may also be a good idea to discuss your plans with your family so that they can assist and support you with your decisions.

Retirement properties are invariable Leasehold which means that are held on a Lease for a specific term of years.

This means that are in effect a depreciating asset and they also often come with lots of rules and regulations about things that you can or cannot do at the property. Check these carefully for parking restrictions for visitors, pets regulations, etc. as there are often robustly enforced.

For further information or advice about buying retirement property please contact a member of our Conveyancing team on 01202 881454 or email lawspot@hgwalker.co.uk.

Auto Biographies

Abarth 124 Spider Motoring

By Tim Barnes-Clay, www.carwriteups.co.uk The Abarth 124 Spider is cast from the same die as the Fiat 124, and to improve it Abarth has used the same tactic as it did to change the Fiat 500 into the Abarth 595. In other words, it has added lithe looks, noise and, most importantly, muscle. The Abarth 124 Spider uses the same platform as Mazda’s MX-5 and Fiat’s 124. However, while the Fiat has been constructed to be more of a cruising vehicle, the Abarth is more hardcore – and the most performance driven of the three brands.

The Abarth uses the same 1.4-litre, fourcylinder turbo-charged petrol engine as Fiat’s 124 - except in the Abarth it produces 170PS, compared with the Fiat 124’s 140PS. The Abarth’s power unit spins with the proper Italian sports car vigour you’d hope for. It feels wayward and entertaining at high revs - and you’re aware of the turbocharger when you push on. The sports car is quick to respond and the gear change is rapid and exact.

The best thing about the 124 Spider, though, is the noise it makes. Popping burbles emit from the quad tailpipes when doing the 0-62mph gallop, as I found out testing the car at Silverstone Circuit, in Northamptonshire.

The two-seater Abarth will reach the magical

figure in 6.8 seconds, on its way to 143mph.

Fold the roof, via a simple fastener, and the Abarth 124’s sound is even more delectable.

For an added dose of pleasure, the Abarth 124 has a Sport setting. Hit the button and things become louder, tighter and faster.

The throttle feels more insistent, and weight is also added to the steering, making you feel even more united with the road – or race track. The 124 Spider feels most pleased driven hard, with the tail-end hunkered down over the rear wheels. Even when you go too brutally into a bend and lose traction for a jiffy, the Abarth 124 continues to play nicely. Working out what the rump of the car is going to do soon becomes second nature.

On the whole, the Abarth 124 Spider is a grin maker, although your beam might falter for a moment when you see the price-tag - £29,565. Yes, it’s a large lump of cash, but once you’ve heard the melodious tailpipes, felt the performance and experienced the handling for yourself, you’ll appreciate that this car is worth every single bank note.

West Moors Lunch and Friendship Club The West Moors Lunch and Friendship Club meets in St. Anthony‛s church hall on a Wednesday for a chat, lunch, games or entertainment and afternoon tea followed by bingo.

Recently one of the helpers compiled a quiz which was great fun and enjoyed by all. We also repeated our Beetle Drive which everyone enjoyed the ďŹ rst time, so hopefully that will become a regular.

We are now looking forward to Christmas and our Christmas lunch on 21st December when we will have Darrell on the keyboard to entertain us. This will be our last day before the Christmas break and we return in the New Year on 4th January 2017.

The club would like to wish everyone a very Happy and Healthy Christmas and New Year.

The Adventures of Nellie

The Dorset Publications Camper Van Nellie is very excited about Christmas!

Last year she drove us all the way to Stephen’s parents near Oxford. This year we are staying at home and my parents are coming to visit.

With all that adrenaline rushing she had the great idea last month to take us to Chessington Adventure Park for Halloween. When I say a group of us I mean all adults of a certain age (mostly over 50) who were looking for some good old fun... without the children. Is that possible I hear you say? A group of menopausal women and a few perplexed men to a theme park for Halloween? You would think we would know better by now, but seems the ‘going back to childhood’ has started early for some of us... or maybe we just never grew up!

We set off, all (well most of us) very keen to have a go on the rides and scream and shout to our hearts content. What a great excuse! We only thought later that we could have dressed up too... but maybe that was taking it a bit too far. Nellie can look pretty scary at the best of times with her long black skirts and silver teeth. You do realize that it is the van I am talking about and not some self inflicted invalidation? Not that any of us would ever do that to ourselves of course...

The weather was perfect. Bright and dry. Not at all bad for October 31st.

As soon as we all gathered at the gate we were like whippets at the starting block. We couldn’t wait to get on those thrilling, heart pounding rides. One of the party was not so keen and happily was the ‘bag lady’ for the day. We had in fact been to the same location last year and “Mr Bubbleworks” (the name says it all), which is a cute ride on the water for the younger children, had sent chills through her spine and caused her to hang on for dear life, literally. The rest of us found it highly amusing but poor

Julie couldn’t wait to get off. She now makes a very good ‘bag lady’ and is more than happy to watch us screaming, shouting and otherwise making a fool of ourselves.

“Kobra”, the serpent ride, is really quite exhilarating, without turning you upside down and throwing you about uncontrollably. The roller coaster does throw you from one side to the other and neither seat saves you from the other person’s heavy (in some of our cases) body being thrown solidly against you as you also twirl in the air.

Nellie didn’t like the sound of that one and with her rather oversized thighs I don’t blame her!

Then of course there is the good old fashioned Carousel. Two of the party are somewhat more dignified and composed than the rest of us... must be David’s Naval Officer background, though his wry smile at times gives something else away... and they absolutely looked the part as they gave the Royal Wave from the carriage. Escapism, or is it delusion?

Wonderful isn’t it.

The only youngster of the party, a fifteen year old, got totally drenched on “Rameses Revenge”. Nellie loves the names of these rides. People must spend hours, and probably a small fortune, just thinking of what to call them. This was the only ride none of us ‘sane’ adults would go on. Held upside down in the air with water shooting up at you, was not our cup of tea. And at our age tea is very important.

Time for that all important tea!

“Vampire” is the best and since the park was open til 8pm, being a Halloween opening, we went on that in the dark. The ride seemed twice as fast and being at the front added to the sheer elation. Our poor tickers, how did they cope?

It was a truly brilliant day and Nellie was thrilled we enjoyed ourselves so much. It shows that you don’t have to be young to have a good time and that time spent with friends is time well spent!

Nellie wishes you a really good Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Again it is a great excuse to invite friends and family together, relax, eat and be merry. Enjoy!

Where will Nellie be taking us in 2017?

Grey seals, golden eagles, weasels and water voles: award-winning country park celebrates the best of British wildlife photography Stunning images of wildlife from across Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire feature in the highly-accclaimed British Wildlife Photography Awards (BWPA) exhibition at Moors Valley Country Park near Ringwood from 14 January until 26 February 2017.

With 15 categories, including two for young people, the Awards showcase the very best of nature photography chosen from thousands of entries from across the country and raise awareness about biodiversity, British species and their habitats.

Moors Valley is the only location south of London to host the BWPA national touring exhibition which this year features over 100 striking images including grey seals, golden eagles, weasels and water voles. The Park was recently awarded ‘Gold’ for Sustainability in the Dorset Tourism Awards and fifty-

Paul Colley’s ‘Hello Ducky (Brown Trout and Mallard Duck)’. Photographed in GoodworthClatford, Hampshire, it was Highly Commended in the Animal Behaviour category

five percent of the animals featured in the exhibition have been sighted, if not photographed, there. Moors Valley is also is one of ‘ the best places in the UK for dragonflies and home to all six species of British reptile as well as a highly successful water vole reintroduction programme.

This year’s BWPA overall winning shot, ‘Hitchhikers’, was not taken on land but underwater off the Island of Hirta in Scotland and features what awardwinning photographer George Stoyle describes as ‘one of the largest jellyfish I’ve ever encountered’. The amazing folds, frills and kaleidoscopic colours of this giant lion’s mane jellyfish should make ‘Hitchhikers’ a winner, but it is the shoal of shimmering fish finding sanctuary amongst its tangle of stinging tentacles that make this unique picture really stand out.

Nearer to home, highly commended images include Jane Morgan’s closeup of a feathery, tentacled fan worm in Weymouth, Dorset whilst Wiltshire images include Mark Bridger’s Roe deer in a field furrow in Salisbury, and 14-year old Harry King’s image of a short eared owl taken at Wroughton’s Barbury Castle.

Wiltshire is also home to category winner Nick Upton, whose images detailing the monitoring and tracking of harvest mice won the documentary series award.

Hampshire is represented this year with two highly commended images

from Paul Colley featuring the amazing underwater colours of the county’s freshwater fish.

Chris Packham, TV presenter and naturalist said, “The British Wildlife Photography Awards generates an incredible catalogue of splendid, exciting, imaginative and artistic images, proving beyond doubt that we have the richest palette of life to celebrate in our own backyard. Anyone passionate about protecting and preserving wildlife will be inspired by the British Wildlife Photography Awards, which has done more than any other award to raise the profile of British wildlife”.

Moors Valley Communication Ranger, Katie Davies said, “With so many stunning photographs on show this exhibition is proof that you don’t have to travel far from home to capture some

amazing images. Moors Valley is home to so many different animal species that whatever type of photography you are interested in, the park and forest can offer some great opportunities to try out your skills. Even in winter there are plenty of species around including visiting wildfowl like shovellers and teal, early morning species such as roe deer, and the usually shy and retiring water voles.”

The British Wildlife Photography Awards exhibition opens daily in the Visitor Centre at Moors Valley Country Park. It is free to view. Parking charges apply. For more information go to www.moorsvalley.co.uk or call the Rangers on 01425 470721.

The 2017 British Wildlife Photography Awards opens for entries in early February. Details can be found at www.bwpawards.org.

Gardening Tips

52

On Your Plot Scarves at the ready

December is perhaps the one month where, in the build up to Christmas with roaring fires and shorter days, even the hardiest of gardeners may struggle to get out there and do the necessary for their plots.

December often means hard frosts and you need to harvest your winter cabbages, celery and cauliflowers this month. Parsnips and swedes are pretty hardy so if you are a bit overrun with your crop you can keep these in the ground until you need them. If bad weather is forecast then keep some straw handy to cover them over and stop the ground from freezing thema in. Make sure that you check your stored crops for any sign of disease and remove any that look problematic.

If the ground isn’t too sticky then this is also a great time to get out your hoe and work between your vegetable crops. Look out for any plants which might have been lifted by frost and press them gently back into the ground.

Keep an eye on your Brussels too - these should be starting now so try cooking them in different ways in your meals before the ‘big day’ (adding a spot of garlic can make all the difference) until you find something suitable to go with the bird. You don’t just have to eat them on Christmas Day you know!

Be mindful of any snowfall this month or in future weeks and help out your plants and shrubs as best you can by brushing off any settled snow. This helps to prevent any damage with branches breaking under the weight. Just make sure you if you have small children they don’t take this as an opportunity to flick snow everywhere otherwise your quiet gardening time could suddenly turn into an impromptu snowball fight!

Birds at this time of the year need all the help they can get too. There are some great plants that you can introduce to help them as well as popping out the traditional feeders. These

include hawthorn, holly, beriberi and indeed your holly can double up as a craft project for indoor decorations over the festive season.

If you are planting these types of shrubs for our feathered friends then do try and put them somewhere quiet in the garden where the birds won’t be frightened off.

Sit back at your window and watch them feed contentedly whilst you enjoy the view. Why not get out a few gardening books, grab a cup of tea and imagine how you’d like your garden to look next summer? More or less vegetables? Bigger shrubs, more colour?

Whatever you choose, pat yourself on the back for all the hard work you’ve done this year and think how green your fingers really could be!

Jobs for December:-

• Continue collecting falling leaves and put them in a leaf mould cage ready for next year.

• Take hardwood cuttings of soft fruit.

• Cover your compost bins • Pop some more manure into your digging efforts.

• Keep an eye on any slugs trying to get at your potatoes • Keep your bird feeders topped up, especially if there is ground frost or snowfall.

• Keep mice away from your harvested produce.

• Cut back any creepers that have become a bit excitable during the year

The Kings of Wimborne Continuing the theme of last month’s article, we take a look at another family connected with the Priest’s House.

By the middle of the 18th century the building was the home of the King family, whose name and initials we find throughout the building.

During restoration of the museum in the early 1990s one side of a packing case addressed to ‘Mr Christor. King of Wimborne in Dorsetshire’ was found in the attic. Christopher, and his son William, were mercers or dealers in fine velvets, woollens and imported silks. The trade in cloth was very important in Wimborne at this time.

The initials of father and son also appear on the rainwater heads on the front of the building. These lead containers collected and removed water from the new pitched roof when the courtyard was filled in.

Elizabeth King was the widow of Christopher. She continued to run her husband’s business as a mercer until her own death in 1778. Shortly after her husband’s death, Elizabeth asked John Mitchell, a local master-plumber and glazier, to install a lead pump in her newly-built kitchen. The pump is now in the scullery, beyond the Victorian kitchen. It is marked with his name, her initials and the date 1766.

The Georgian Parlour scene

The scene in the Georgian parlour today shows Elizabeth dressed in good quality plain clothes suitable for someone with a position in the town to maintain. John Mitchell has arrived to discuss his client’s plans for further building works, which were completed after her death by her son William.

Opening times: 1 Nov-23 Dec 2016, Mon-Sat 10am-4pm

Free opening 12-23 December 10am-4pm The museum’s period rooms will be transformed with traditional decorations.

Seasonal refreshments available from the Garden Tea Room.

Free entry.

Standard admission price unless indicated otherwise.

For further information and details of additional events please contact the museum on 01202 882533 or visit our website at www.priest-house.co.uk

OPEN LETTER TO THE PEOPLE OF WEST MOORS We are in danger of losing a very important service for the older people of West Moors who have no transport available for Doctor, Dentist and more importantly Hospital appointments. We desperately need volunteer drivers who could spare a couple of hours a week, yes all we need is a couple of hours a week, and mileage is paid.

We could all find ourselves in this position one day and I am sure would be glad to know that we can phone for a Neighbour Car and receive friendly door to door service with a driver who will stay and wait for you to complete your appointment.

If you feel you can give a few hours of your time to this important service that many in West Moors find invaluable please contact one of our committee members as detailed below who will be happy to explain more fully the role that we perform.
