Dear Neighbours, A Very Happy New Year to You! A new year, a new Edition 161 start. Have you made any plans? We are planning our trips here in the South with our new van, Daichi The Dashing Dude. I definitely want to get out and about again, visiting Stephen, Debbie & lots of interesting, fun and Hayden Corney historic places, of which there are many! There are also our wonderful beaches and the amazing New Forest with those beautiful horses, ponies, cows and wildlife. We are so lucky to live in such a gorgeous part of our Island, with so much to see and do.

At home there is always a lot to do. Gardening, housework and upgrading our environment to make the most of the space that we have. Do you need any help with all of that? Here in your little Directory there are gardeners, electricians, plumbers, kitchen and bathroom specialists, locksmiths, health advisors, financial advisors, estate agents, computer experts and many more. They are all here to help you. Please continue to call them for advice and do mention us when making those all-important calls. It makes all our hard work worthwhile. If there is anything you want to see and read about, that we do not provide here, then please call or email me. I love to hear from you.

The lucky first winner of the 2019 prize wordsearch last month was Duke Smith. Well done to you, that is a great start to the New Year!

Wishing you all a Fantastic 2019. May you flourish and prosper and be very happy.

All the Best,

Welcome...

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

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

company policy of delivering the highest standards possible at all times. ‘Our service is simple. If your double glazing has misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 25 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps. Whilst a number of tradespeople perhaps don’t focus on customer care as much as they should do, we make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle.

Locally Cloudy2Clear service the West Moors 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!

Flock to Poole Harbour

January is traditionally a dark and dismal month, but for over-wintering birds, this is a busy time of year, and Poole Harbour is one place we can guarantee will be bursting with (bird) life.

During late summer and autumn birds start arriving back onto the Brownsea Island lagoon to over-winter. The unique location of the lagoon means it provides shelter and food sources in abundance, but its shallow waters mean it’s also still accessible for birds when the rest of the harbour is under deeper water. It’s also a thoroughfare for birds flying from far flung corners of the globe, who use the lagoon to rest and eat before migrating to other winter habitats.

In the past we’ve recorded rare sightings of the semipalmated sandpiper, and in October we were treated to a sighting of the small sanderling visiting from its arctic breeding grounds.

A favourite and frequent visitor to the lagoon is the spoonbill. For many years the spoonbill flock sizes have been building, and in 2014 it peaked to the largest flock of spoonbills ever seen in Britain, with 49 birds recorded in one flock. Other frequent Brownsea Island Lagoon at dawn Photo: Paul Williams

and easily identifiable guests are large flocks of waders, particularly avocets, which are distinguishable by their long blue legs and curved bill, perfect for si�ing through the mud for fish. They breed in east Anglia, France and Germany but the number seen on the Brownsea Lagoon is of international importance, where 1,200 or more can be seen in the winter. The black-tailed godwit breed in Iceland but can be seen through the year on Brownsea Island, with up to 2,500 visiting in the winter to feed on worms found in the lagoon.

A unique partnership between Dorset Wildlife Trust, RSPB, National Trust and Birds of Poole Harbour has been set up to run boat trips around Poole Harbour during the winter months, so visitors can get a first-hand experience of the thousands of birds feeding and roosting on the Brownsea Island Lagoon, when the rest of the island is closed for winter. Tickets start from £25 and trips run on 6th, 10th 20th January and 3rd February. To book, visit nationaltrust.org.uk/ brownsea-islands/features/poole-harbourbird-boats or by calling 0344 2491895.

Russell & Charlie’s Alternative 3 Sleeps Raises over £1300!

Russell and Charlie from Go Ape Moors Valley summited and slept on three of the UK’s highest mountains to raise over £1,300 for the John Thornton Young Achiever’s Foundation (JTYAF).

The JTYAF is the nominated charity at Go Ape and Russell and Charlie are great supporters of the Foundation. They set out on the 557-mile journey from Dorset to Fort William in November and had selected Helvellyn, the 3rd highest peak in England, Aonach Beag which is second only to Ben Nevis and Glyder Fawr, the 5th highest mountain in Wales. The routes they had planned to the top of the peaks included ridges and scrambling, a great deal of which was at night. In addition to the climbs, three extreme sleeps provided the ultimate challenge.

They began with their ascent of Aonach Beag, at 4,049ft. The weather conditions were horrendous with such strong winds that they nearly lost their tent! The next morning, they travelled to the Lake District to tackle Helvellyn (3,117ft), in rain and relentless gusting winds and finally to North Wales where Glyder Fawr presented them with more rain and 80mph winds.

The weather conditions confronted Russell and Charlie with an even more demanding challenge than expected but they showed real courage and total commitment and determination to get the job done.

Pete Thornton, JTYAF Chairman, commented, “We are so proud of Charlie and Russell and all that they achieved in the most awful conditions. Their challenge symbolises all the charity values; courage, determination, unselfishness and cheerfulness in adversity. The money that they have raised will make a big difference to the opportunities that we can provide for local young people in 2019 and we can’t thank them enough.”

If you would like to support them it’s not too late, please visit their JustGiving page at www.justgiving.com/fundraising/ alternative3sleeps

Wills, Property Protection Trusts and Lasting Power of Attorneys We discuss the difference between legal professionals and the benefits of home visits for clients.

We are often asked what is the advantage of using a member of the Society of Will Writers and Estate Planning Practitioners (SWW) over a more conventional high street solicitor.

There are many good reasons, here are just a few: 1. Members of SWW are fully trained specialists in the field of will writing and estate planning. All have professional indemnity insurance, are regulated and adhere to the SWW code of practice.

2. Members also provide clients with the convenience of attending them in their own home and at a time that is suitable.

3. Taking instructions in the privacy of the client’s home is not only about

convenience. In the absence of such a service many people who need a Will or Power of Attorney’s would go without if they were housebound, elderly or frail and could not get to a high street solicitor.

As a member of SWW, Dorset Wills has a totally transparent pricing policy. Our prices are clearly shown in all our adverts and we will send you a full pricelist with confirmation of your FREE home visit appointment.

We offer various packages to make the whole process of getting your affairs in order both simple and cost effective.

It is estimated that 67% of people in the UK do not have a Will or Lasting Power of Attorney in place. With almost 1 million people living with dementia and the total growing yearly, perhaps now is the time to call Dorset Wills on 01202 065953.

Do you want to protect your family and loved ones?

Probably the most important documents you will ever own.

Wills & Power of Attorneys - £140 each

Special Offers: Complete protection Package for a couple includes wills, all Power of Attorneys, Advanced Directives and all copies. £798.00

Care South renews partnership with AFC Bournemouth for fifth year Care South is delighted to renew its partnership with AFC Bournemouth Community Sports Trust.

Cherries winger, Marc Pugh and Head of Community Sport Trust, Steve Cuss visited residents at Care South’s Fairlawn care home in Ferndown, where they also met with the charity’s Chief Executive, Simon Bird, to officially announce the continued partnership, which is now in its fifth year.

The partnership with AFCB encourages staff and residents of Care South’s care homes and Home Care service clients to participate in activities where they can meet players, enjoy coffee mornings and become involved in walking football and stadium visits.

Marc Pugh, an integral member of the AFCB squad and ambassador for the partnership, spoke to the residents about the incredible start to the 2018/19 season AFC Bournemouth has had.

Head of the Community Sports Trust, Steve Cuss said: “Care South residents always give Marc a fantastic welcome.

He is a huge supporter of this partnership, and that’s what makes him such a great ambassador. He and the Community Sports Trust team are looking forward to visiting as many residents as their schedule allows, and showing his football skills to the residents and seeing a few of theirs.”

partnership with AFC Bournemouth is one that we really cherish. Over the past 12 months Steve and his team have undertaken over 90 visits to all of our Dorset homes. We’re delighted to be renewing the partnership again.

It’s great to see that despite the demands of a very strong start in the Premiership this season, Marc still has time to be the ambassador for the partnership and visit our homes – he’s very popular with all our residents.

“We are always so impressed with the way that Marc, Steve and the trainee coaches help with activities, interact and reminisce with our residents when they visit our homes.”

Care South is a registered charity and a leading residential and home care service provider in the South of England. The notfor-profit organisation serves Dorset, north Devon, West Sussex and parts of Somerset offering care services for young people and older people who may require temporary or permanent care services.

Chief Executive at Care South, Simon Bird said: “The

Talbot Village Trust enables extension for MS Society Bournemouth Talbot Village Trust has donated a grant of £11,000 to the Multiple Sclerosis Society Bournemouth to fund the extension of its day centre.

The grant giving charity provided the Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society with the funds required to construct a muchneeded extension onto the original Osborne Day Centre. The centre is used regularly as a meeting place for people with MS, their carers and volunteers.

Members of the society also have access to physiotherapy, yoga and hairdressing facilities at the centre. The new extension has created the space for a private consulting room which is available to provide confidential one-to-one support.

A disabled toilet has also been constructed within the extension, due to the growing number of people that use the centre on a weekly basis.

Rod Slip, chairman of the MS Society Bournemouth, said: “We are so thankful to the Trust for choosing to donate to the centre and allow us to construct our extension. Before this project began we were restricted on the activities which we could host, but now we

have the extra space to strengthen our support services and activities offering.”

Russell Lucas-Rowe, Trustee of Talbot Village Trust, added: “As a Trust we are always looking to support charities, big and small, that play an integral role in the community. It has been so interesting to learn about MS Society Bournemouth and the essential work they carry out for people with MS in Dorset.”

Talbot Village Trust meets biannually, and will be accepting applications for funding from both previous and new applicants in the area before the end of January 2019. Please go to www.talbotvillagetrust.org for more information.

Lighthouse School Partnership with Ferndown Middle School This year Ferndown Middle School has become a partner school with Poole Lighthouse. We are only one of nine schools to receive this honour. This gives the school a unique opportunity to work on a variety of exciting projects with Lighthouse and their partners over the school year.

In November a group of year 8 pupils attended Othello. After the show they were interviewed by the Lighthouse and representatives of the theatre company to create a blog and critique of the play for social media and to provide feedback for the Theatre Company. The Merchandise stand, designed and made by pupils from Ferndown Middle School last year, was refurbished and adapted and will be used from the middle of November to promote and advertise this year’s pantomime at Lighthouse. It will then go back to its ‘day job’ as the Merchandise Stand over the Christmas Pantomime season.

It is Lighthouse’s 40th Anniversary this year and 17 pupils from year 7 and 8 have been involved in a project commissioned

by Lighthouse to commemorate this event. We also approached Arts University Bournemouth (AUB) to help us with this commission and have secured the services of five final year illustration students. The brief is to create an exhibition illustrating some of the key events from its 40 year history.

Lighthouse provided us with scrapbooks of memorabilia, artefacts, news stories and events the students chose an event and have illustrated this.

A project like this would certainly benefit from the services of a professional illustrator

and we had the amazing opportunity to work with Martin Brown. Martin has been the illustrator for the ‘Horrible Histories’ books for the past 25 years, he is also a writer and cartoonist, and joined us at school for the day. He gave our students and the students from AUB a drawing masterclass and then spent the day inspiring, helping, advising and sharing his talent of bring history alive through his illustrations and cartoons with the pupils.

This day was followed up with a visit to the Arts University where the pupils completed their artwork and illustrations. Martin also joined us at the University where the pupils worked alongside the undergraduate students to create some excellent work. The results can be seen at Poole Lighthouse from early December until February 2019.

The pupils were a credit to the school and Martin wrote a complement slip describing them as “Talented, motivated and fun students who made me feel totally welcome” and “I had a BRILLIANT day”.

Gardening Tips

52

On Your Plot Planning veg for the year ahead If you’re new to veggie growing then this is the ideal time to start planning for the year ahead. Think about what space you have available for your crops and plan what you would like to grow and where.

Jobs for January:-

• Plan your crops • Protect crops against the cold and from pests such as pigeons • Sew le�uces indoors • Start rhubarb crowns Gardening may be the last thing on your mind in the cold weather but this is the perfect time to plan what to grow and where this season.

It’s easy to get carried away when looking at catalogues or impressive displays of seed packets - but remember that it only makes sense to grow what you are likely to eat! If that still leaves you with a list that exceeds the space available then it may be wise to trim back on crops that take up a lot of space or are easily and cheaply available from local sources (potatoes perhaps?). Think about concentrating on plants that will crop quickly allowing the space to be used again. Remember also that you can use patio containers and grow bags to add extra growing space.

Once you have your list split your available space into 3 (or 4) areas and then group your crops together by family so that they can be rotated around the areas in a 3 or 4 year cycle.

Group the cabbage family together, then the onion family along with the pea and bean family, and finally potatoes, tomatoes and the carrot family.

This is a great time of year to seriously consider making some raised beds, if you don’t already have them. Make sure that they are not too wide for you to easily reach the middle from either side and that there is sufficient room

for easy access all the way around. The deeper you can make them the be�er and higher beds will mean less bending when you are planting out seedlings, harvesting or weeding.

If you have large areas of bare soil, awaiting planting, then you may like to think about covering them with black plastic, or cardboard, to protect the soil against the harsh January weather. Crops still growing, such as purple sprouting broccoli, will benefit from protection against hungry pigeons - try covering with wire mesh, fleece, or some homemade bird scarers (try stringing up some old CD’s).

For those who are keen to get sowing, you can try a few le�uces. Start off on a bright, sunny windowsill, thinning down when they are large enough to handle. Grow on in frost free conditions such as a shed, or polytonal before finishing off under cloches. If you haven’t already planted shallots then it’s not too late to think about it, but don’t put them in when the ground is too wet or they may rot.

Start saving empty egg boxes ready to chit your seed potatoes before planting. Just pop them into the egg boxes, sprout end up in a cool but frost free place and wait for the shoots to appear. You’ll also find the boxes useful for starting tiny seedlings off in months to come as they grow they can be planted straight out with no disruption as the box will simply rot down.

And finally, if you have space, you may like to think about starting off some new rhubarb crowns towards the end of January.

Only a National Treasure could achieve this!

Due to the enormous demand for tickets at Christchurch’s Regent Centre, Pam Ayres has added a third concert to her February 2019 schedule.

In a totally unprecedented move, Pam Ayres, having sold out two nights at the Regent in Christchurch – on Friday 15 and Saturday 16 February 7.30pm – three months before she is even due to appear live on stage at the Centre – through her Management has just announced that she will be presenting a third successive “Evening With Pam Ayres” on Sunday 17 February at the earlier start time of 5pm.

No visiting artist at the Regent has ever achieved the accolade of confirming three nights in succession live on stage at the Centre with their show, let alone selling them all out.

What is more, within hours of going on sale, Pam’s third evening has already sold 280 out of the Regent’s capacity of 480 seats. So, it really is a case of if you want see the National Treasure that is Pam Ayres, and it is not too late... book now on www. regentcentre.co.uk or 01202 499199 to avoid disappointment!! Tickets: £25.50 all seats.

“If all of our visiting stars were this popular and sold out so quickly, I would be out of a job!” said Gary Theobald, Regent Press Officer.

A recent reviewer of Pam’s show in September at the Leicester Curve Theatre said: “I keep smiling, remembering moments performed by the incredible @PamAyres at @CurveLeicester last night. Laughed and cried in equal measure. What a woman.”

The Mail on Sunday observed in an interview with Pam in June that: “Pam Ayres is absolutely essential to British humour, reminding us all to be tickled by the small joys and ridiculousness of everyday life.

It’s not something poets often do – they’re usually too deep in love, death and angst.”

Return of longest running Docu-soap, Monkey Life, to our screens on Pick Monkey Life series 11 returned to our screens on channel Pick last month, with the much anticipated catch up of all the rescues and daily dramas at the world’s biggest primate rescue centre.

Based at Monkey World, Dorset, the documentary follows Dr Alison Cronin and the team, as she rescues primates in need from around the world, and rehabilitates them into groups of their own kind. At the centre, they have a safe, stable home for life.

Capturing the day-to-day life of residents

The programme is one of the longest running docu-soaps on TV, as its former incarnation, Monkey Business first appeared on screens in 1998.

Nicknamed by staff “Beast-enders”, the series won a place in the public’s hearts with its fascinating, and often tragic insight into monkey and ape rescues.

Series 11 follows Alison to Lebanon and Turkey to rescue two guenons, a baby loris and a chimpanzee, while back in Dorset it captures the day-today lives of the 260 primate residents of Monkey World.

Dr Alison Cronin with the marmoset rescued from running loose in London

Filmed over a year, the series takes the viewer on an emotional rollercoaster, from the woolly monkey group celebrating new arrivals, to tense rescue operations, and the teams’ sad goodbyes to old friends too.

Monkey Life series 11 will be shown on Freeview channel Pick at 6pm, every Sunday from 11th November 2018.

Naturally good...

ROASTED ACORN SQUASH Ingredients for 4 servings: 1 large acorn squash ½ tsp smoked paprika 2 cloves garlic (minced) Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper ½ tsp mustard powder ¼ tsp onion powder 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 2 tbsp unsalted butter ½ red onion 1 tbsp olive oil 2 oz (60 g) soft goats cheese Small handful fresh mint Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method: 1. Preheat the oven to 400F/200c 2. Cut the squash into 6 wedges leaving the skin on.

Remove the seeds and place onto a baking sheet skin side down with the flesh facing up. Drizzle the wedges with olive oil and add the butter then sprinkle over the paprika, garlic, mustard and onion powder and season well.

3. Cover the tray with foil and make sure that it is pressed down well so that the wedges are sealed in. Place the tray into the oven to bake for 45 minutes; they will actually be steaming in their own juices at this point.

4. Meanwhile slice the onion and place into a frying pan with the olive oil, gently sauté the onion slices on a medium low heat until they are caramelized, set to one side.

5. After 45 minutes of cooking remove the squash from the oven and remove the foil cover, place back into the oven for 10 minutes to roast, after ten minutes top each wedge with caramelized onions and some crumbled goats cheese and place back into the oven for a further 5 to 10 minutes until golden brown.

6. Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving plate, sprinkle with freshly chopped mint and serve.

Nuffield Health Bournemouth Welcomes Dorset’s Only Female Orthopaedic Surgeon Nuffield Health is ‘thrilled’ to welcome Dorset’s first female orthopaedic surgeon to its evergrowing team of leading consultants.

Nikki Kelsall is an orthopaedic and trauma surgeon who specialises in foot and ankle problems, including diabetic foot conditions.

Nikki offers a regular clinic at Nuffield Health Bournemouth Hospital tending to patients with any problems affecting their feet or ankles.

Nikki often sees patients that suffer with bunions, curly toes, flat feet, foot or ankle pain, ulcers, ankle arthritis and Achilles disorders. As well as this, Nikki also commonly sees patients with soft tissue and bony foot or ankle injuries.

As a once committed dancer and performer, Nikki knows first-hand how important it is to look after your feet. Nikki Kelsall, orthopaedic surgeon, said: “I was a dancer for 13 years before studying medicine, this helps me understand why amateur and professional performers and athletes, have a drive to get back on their feet quickly, no matter their age.

“Recently I treated a man in his 70s who is a professional table tennis champion and required treatment for foot pain, but was desperate to be in tip-top shape before an upcoming match.

Seeing him at the Nuffield we were able to schedule his surgery perfectly to get him match ready in time. I was delighted to be able to help him with this.”

Nikki undertook her medical training in Bristol and Liverpool before moving to Bournemouth in 2003. Nikki added: “I’m very excited to be starting a regular clinic at Nuffield Health Bournemouth. I love building relationships with my patients and working at Nuffield gives me the opportunity and time to be able to do that in a relaxed and efficient environment.

People underestimate the importance of their

feet until something goes wrong. Foot pain can affect every aspect of your life including simply driving to work or doing the shopping as well as high level functioning on a stage or the pitch.”

In addition to her passion for treating patients with foot problems Nikki has also focused on medical education and attained her Masters in this subject in 2014. Nikki commented: “For me all the work I put in to educating more junior doctors allows me to focus not only on staying up to date myself, but also on finding ways to communicate complex subjects in an understandable way. This has changed the way that I interact with my patients, helping me to ensure they fully understand the nature of their problems and finding the best ways, with them, to improve their mobility.”

David McNair, Hospital Director at Nuffield Health Bournemouth Hospital, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Nikki to the team and have the only female orthopaedic surgeon in Dorset on our staff. Nikki’s expertise allows us to extend our offering for the benefit of our patients and provide new services.”
