Dear Neighbours, We thoroughly enjoyed our recent Anglesey Edition 154 adventure, which you can read about in this edition. With an ever changing weather forecast, we were a bit uncertain about what we might be able to do, but as it turned out Stephen & Debbie Corney we were very fortunate and able to get out and about most days. it is always fun to explore new areas or revisit places you remember from previous trips.

As the summer approaches, it is traditionally a time for our local shows and festivals. Do take the opportunity to enjoy these spectacles on our doorstep and support them by attending.

If you do take time off to escape to other climes, we hope you have a great trip.

For all those jobs around the home, 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.

Stephen, Hayden, Nellie and myself hope you have a wonderful month of July. May we all be able to get outside and enjoy those gorgeous summer events and barbeques!

Best Wishes,

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!

Wildlife News

Talking about Wildlife...

Summer wildlife

At Dorset Wildlife Trust we know summer is here with the arrival of the little terns and the barn owl chicks. Some of nature’s most exciting displays are about to start…

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

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

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

Local Debt Charity: “A Poverty Secret Can Be A Killer” THE ISOLATION and loneliness of living with a ‘poverty secret’ can be a killer, that’s the warning from a free East Dorset debt counselling service.

community, they’re social beings, and the long term damage of living with loneliness can be as bad for your health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day”

The warning comes from Pam Ansell, who manages the East Dorset Christians Against Poverty (CAP) Debt Centre, after the charity published new research about effects of debt in the UK.

She said that the common reasons for debt include low income, relationship breakdown, joblessness, problems with benefits, illness and bereavement. The East Dorset CAP Debt Centre visits every client in their own home, working with each until they become debt free, while CAP’s head office specialists negotiate with creditors, create a budget and provide ongoing technical support.

Pam said: “It’s a twenty first century parable really. There are hundreds, possibly thousands, of people in Dorset, living in isolation with a poverty secret.

The sad truth is they may live in the same street as us, but they’re suffering from extreme loneliness because of their debts.”

“It means that they can’t provide for their children, don’t have enough food to eat or can’t heat their home.

Tragically, it even makes some of them consider taking their own lives.”

Pam said: “If your finances are out of control, please give us a call today and let us help you get your life back on track.”

To find out more, visit capuk.org or call 0800 328 0006

She added that CAP’s Client Report, published last month, found that almost a third of its clients considered taking their own life because of debt. The report also found that almost four in ten were afraid to leave their homes, three quarters were afraid to answer the telephone and eighty per cent were scared to open their post.

Our ‘Royal Wedding‛ celebratory lunch and sing-a-long was enjoyed by everyone and greatly enhanced by a piece of delicious wedding cake made by one of the helpers. It must be pointed out that our afternoon tea is regularly accompanied by homemade cakes made by another helper. We are very spoilt.

Looking forward our entertainment is music and a sing-a-long with Angela, a Quiz and the singing of Paul Spencer on 25th July which is our final club day before the summer break in August. We return on 5th September.

Adventures of Nellie

38

The Adventures of Nellie The Dorset Publications Camper Van The isle of Anglesey off the north coast of Wales. Many a good holiday was spent there as a child, so you can only imagine Nellie’s excitement when Stephen’s sister and Dad booked a week there for all of us last month. Driving towards our destination, Nellie was full of nostalgia and fond memories of times gone by.

Betws-y-Coed where we met friends years and years ago, Swallow Falls, the low hanging clouds over the mountains, Llyn (Lake) Ogwen and finally we arrived at the shallow tidal waters of the famous Menai Straits which separates Anglesey from the mainland. Nellie danced across the Bridge and there we were on the island. Alan, Stephen’s father is a member of the prestigious “Holiday Property Bond” and we were booked into wonderful cottages overlooking the rolling green golf course at Henllys near Beaumaris, with magnificent views of Snowdonia in the background. Idyllic.

Henllys used to be a Franciscan Friary and there is a quiet spot with statues, trees and greenery in commemoration of this. The rest of the magnificent house and grounds now provide stylish Enjoying a “rib-roaring” boat trip to Puffin Island

Nellie enjoys the secluded coves cottages and apartments for those who are investors within the scheme. Nellie was thrilled.

Being on a golf course was a great excuse for Stephen to bring out those dusty clubs! It is a while since he has played (must be all that responsibility and hard work he is having to do), so Nellie persuaded him to have a go. Off he went, in a buggy of course, with his uncle David. The were both in complete contentment as they swung those clubs and drove off to find those balls. Uncle David, who does play much more often, shot a birdie (We did explain to Nellie that no birds were hurt in this action…) on hole number 15 and Stephen, well he did not lose ALL of his balls (now now Nellie) and was in fact very happy with his game. Both came back with big smiles and Uncle David unfortunately, also with sore knees. Nellie totally understands!

Penmon Point was a favourite of ours in the past. Dad fishing off the rocks, while Mum worried about Sue and I falling on the rocks with waves crashing around us as we ran across to see if Dad had caught anything. The coastline seemed very different this time but maybe it was

39 my imagination? After all, dare I say it is nearly 40 years since we were regularly there! Oh my word how time flies. Puffin Island just off the shore “in those days” was literally that, full of puffins! Now there are around 200 pairs apparently, which is better as they had dwindled down to much less. The good news is that they are on there way up again.

Knowing this, we decided to take a boat out to see for ourselves. There are many boats that go out from Beaumaris. We chose a Rib Ride with Seacoast Safaris!

Nellie likes excitement and she chose well as Hayden loved it! The young man piloting was very proficient and literally took us for a spin. As a member of RNLI he was well trained and we felt totally safe as he spun the boat in circles before speeding up and chasing the ebbing tide out to Puffin Island. What a thrill! We saw grey seals bobbing up and down, guillemots, kittiwakes, cormorants, razorbills, eider ducks and ONE puffin!

The skipper steered us carefully into the cave, smiling while telling us it was a good idea to put our hoods up! Those birds have no manners… It was a great trip and thoroughly recommended if you are ever on Anglesey.

Beaches are another must on the island.

As a child ‘Me and Dad’ picked winkles

off the rocks at Trearddur Bay and cooked them to eat many a good night.

Trearddur Bay had been hit by a bad storm ten years ago and now has a smart new walkway right across the sands.

Again, a sign of changing times.

Alan and Rachel, Stephen’s dad and sister, love walking and were out each morning by 8am to take in the sites with plenty to see over the 276 square miles that the island occupies. Nellie let us rest, though I think she would have liked to skip along the cliff tops. We did take a walk along the coastal path from Lligwy Beach to Moelfre on a wonderfully sunny day. The ice-cream and coffee were a welcome find at Moelfre before setting off back again to Lligwy beach for a picnic lunch and an afternoon snooze. Nellie likes those!

Nellie really enjoyed her stay at Henllys with its full-sized snooker table, huge outdoor chess set, bar billiards, air hockey, table tennis, sauna, steam bath and swimming pool. We certainly were not short of entertainment!

The drive home was interesting as you will hear about soon… Anglesey is a wonderful island and if you have never visited there are scores of things to do.

Enjoy!

George Augustus Place George Augustus Place was born in Hampreston and in 1838 became a medical officer for Wimborne and Cranborne Union Workhouse. Mr Place was there for five months before resigning on the 6 August.

At the time smallpox was spreading in the workhouse due to poor conditions. Also there weren’t many nurses employed there, so smallpox was going undiagnosed and untreated.

In 1839 a poster was published about smallpox in the workhouse.

Mr Place had contacted The Times newspaper, who criticised the situation in the workhouse.

Opening times: 2 Jan-31 Mar and 1 Nov-22 Dec 2018, Mon-Sat 10am-4pm 1 Apr-31 Oct 2018, Mon-Sat 10am-4.30pm

As a result enquiries were made but Mr Place was not satisfied with the findings. He felt that the results left out important information.

He hoped the poor would benefit from his actions in drawing attention to the shortcomings of the workhouse and the Poor Law.

HGW Solicitors Donates £3,000 To ‘Brick By Brick’ Appeal Harold G Walker Solicitors, one of the South West’s leading law firms, has donated over £3,000 in response to MacMillan Caring Locally’s Brick by Brick Appeal.

The charity aims to raise over £9m to build a new Macmillan Unit at Christchurch Hospital in Dorset. The specialist unit provides palliative care services for patients suffering from any advanced, progressive, incurable illnesses. The existing Macmillan Unit which was built in 1974 has seen patient referrals triple in the last ten years.

The new treatment centre will ensure patients receive the best possible care from Macmillan’s dedicated team of professionals and become a benchmark by which future palliative care wards are based.

Nicola Lowe, Managing Partner at Harold G Walker solicitors, said; “We are delighted

to have been able to donate £3,000 to MacMillan Caring Locally. I have a personal connection with charity as my father was cared for at the unit in the final stages of his life and ironically he was one of the first Ambulance drivers to bring patients to the Macmillan Unit when it first opened its doors over 40 years ago.”

Lin Sharp, Capital Appeal Director, MacMillan Caring Locally charity, said; “We are very grateful for the generous donation from HGW’s Charitable Trust in support of our Brick by Brick Appeal.

Thanks to their support we have moved one step closer to achieving our aim of building a world class palliative care unit” For further information or to make a donation please visit: www.macmillanlocal.org

Gardening Tips

a beginner’s

GUIDE Runner Beans

It’s not too late to plant runner beans.

My Grandfather always put them in on Whit Sunday, never before, probably because the plants don’t like frost.

For the cost of a packet of seeds you’ll get a continuous crop of lovely fresh runners for a month or so, and they freeze really well.

Push a bean into a small pot of multi purpose compost and keep it moist.

Within a couple of weeks they should start to grow and when you have some sturdy plants with 2 or 3 pairs of leaves they can be planted out in the garden or in deep troughs. If you have a vegetable patch or enough room, construct a wigwam of tall canes (about 6-8 feet) or a

row of crossed canes or even netting for them to grow up. They could even be added to flower beds to give a bit of height as long as they have something to climb up. Next to each cane, dig a hole with a trowel—add some garden compost if you have some or even a layer of newspaper (to hold the moisture) and carefully transplant the bean plants without disturbing the roots too much.

Water well and keep them moist in dry spells, especially when the flower buds appear and the pods are beginning to set.

Happy harvesting - and don’t forget to leave some pods on the plants to dry out and provide you with a fresh new batch of seeds for next year!

Special Home Library Service Tea Party held at West Moors Library Staff at West Moors Library organised a very special tea party for Royal Voluntary Service volunteers from Ferndown, West Moors and Verwood Home Library Services: we celebrated Volunteers’ Week, the Royal Voluntary Service’s 80th Anniversary, and Liz Bowler’s 39th year of volunteering for the organisation. Liz was presented with a second clasp by Lisa Knight, Community Development & Operations Manager for the South West.

Liz started volunteering in Hampshire for the Meals on Wheels Service, where she soon became the transport manager; she then organised a rural transport scheme for her area, before moving to West Moors where she initially volunteered for the lunch club and then joined the Home Library Service team. Liz has since recruited her husband Michael, and they now deliver books together. Liz says ‘I don’t feel I deserve this award: I have always enjoyed volunteering, and meeting all the different people over the years – it has become an important part of my life.’

The Home Library Service is available free of charge to anybody who cannot easily get to their local library. Royal Voluntary Service volunteers deliver books and talking books from their local library every 3 weeks, providing reading materials as well as a regular visit. To find out more please contact the Royal Voluntary Service Office on 01305 236666 or e-mail maria. jacobson@royalvoluntaryservice.org.uk, or speak to staff at your local library.

BARBECUED LAMB RECIPE

As summer approaches, you may find yourself wishing to utilise the outdoor barbecue. This recipe offers you the option to either use this for a BBQ or to cook inside and serve with your choice of vegetables.

Ingredients 1 lemon (juice and zest) 2tbsp soft light brown sugar 125ml olive oil 8tbsp balsamic vinegar 2 garlic cloves (crushed) 4tbsp mint (chopped) 400g half boneless leg of lamb

Equipment: Barbecue or griddle pan Method: To make the marinade mix together the lemon juice and zest with the sugar, olive oil and balsamic vinegar and add seasoning. Stir until the sugar has dissolved and then mix in the mint and garlic.

Lay the meat in a deep tray. Pour in half the marinade over the top of the meat and turn it over to coat it on both sides. Put the rest of the marinade to one side to use as dressing later.

Then, cover with cling film and choose to leave it for 1 hour or alternatively overnight in the fridge.

After, remove the lamb from the fridge, shake off any excess marinade back into the tray before inserting a skewer that goes from one corner to the opposite. Do this again with another skewer but in the opposite direction.

You can either cook the lamb on a barbecue or a griddle pan and cook on a medium heat. Cook for between 15-20 minutes.

Make sure to turn the lamb frequently until pink or cook for longer depending on your preference. Once you have finished, let the lamb rest for 10 minutes and remove the skewers.

Serve with your choice of vegetables and pour over the rest of the marinade.

Durlston Court School Sponsor Schools Gardening Competition We are delighted to announce Durlston Court School are sponsoring our our Schools Gardening Competition in the Flower and Gardening Show at this year’s New Forest Show.

We are keen to involve the younger generation in all aspects of the Show and to this end, we would like to invite local schools to take part in a gardening competition to be displayed within the Flower & Gardening Marquee in July.

The competition involves a class or year group planting up two decorative window box planters with either flowering plants, decorative nonflowering plants, vegetables or salad plants. The plastic containers could also be decorated to add an attractive visual impact to the display. We would also encourage the children to keep a diary of how the planter grows and what actions they have taken, a group photo of the children involved could also be submitted and this would all be displayed alongside the exhibit within the marquee.

to be delivered to the Showground by Sunday 22nd July in order that we may create an exhibit within the Flower & Gardening Marquee. The planters will then be judged and will remain on display for the duration of the Show.

There will be a trophy for the winning school, along with rosettes and certificates for the other participants.

If you would like to take part in this competition, please contact our Flower Show Chairman, John Penney: wilverley@btconnect.com or 01425 612570 This project was a great success last year and we are looking to build upon it further for 2018.

If the children are able to, we would encourage them to incorporate ‘Celebrating Country Life’ into the theme of the planters.

The New Forest Show would supply the containers and compost required for the display and the planters would need
