After a “mini-event” last year because of Covid-19 restrictions, the West Meon Music Festival will return to normality in September with four days of concerts and masterclasses. The festival’s founders, the internationally renowned Primrose Piano Quartet, will also be joined by several of the high-profile musical guests who would have performed at the originally planned 2020 “10th anniversary” festival. Highlights of the festival, which runs from the 9th to 12th of September, will include a performance of Brahms’ stunning “Horn Trio Op.40” with leading horn soloist Stephen Stirling; Mozart’s joyous “Piano Quartet in E flat”; and Schubert’s final chamber work, the ever-popular “String Quintet in C major”, when the Primrose strings will be joined by violinist Jonathan Stone, until recently a member of the acclaimed Doric Quartet and Kirsten Jenson, at present guest cellist in the Allegri Quartet.
In addition there will be a recital by the exciting young guitarist Laura Snowden described as a “string sensation” by BBC Music Magazine and a performance by Roman Kosyakov, winner of the Hastings International Piano Concerto to include Mussorgsky’s “Pictures at an Exhibition”.
Also planned are masterclasses for young musicians, various preconcert talks, a folk music concert at a local pub, and a late-night concert of works by Bartok and Schoenberg.
In all there will be eight concerts over the four days and full details of all concerts and tickets can be found on the festival website: www.westmeonmusic.co.uk.
Meon Valley Lions BBQ in the Park
BBQ in the Park – Saturday 11th September
Sadly due to Covid restrictions we have decided not to hold the annual village fete but we are pleased to announce we will be holding a BBQ in the Park on Saturday 11th September. We are working on what we can and can’t do so please watch this space for an update or check out our website or social media.
The plan so far is to serve our usual burgers and sausages, we’ve asked one of the local pubs to run a bar and we’ll play you some music. We’re also looking at what is possible as far as children’s entertainment is concerned but this will depend on the restrictions at the time.
Helping those who help others.. When we heard about a volunteer for a local charity, having a difficult time themselves: post covid infections and lost jobs due to lockdown, we were only too happy to help. The replacement of a kitchen appliance will hopefully help this family get back on their feet.
Other dates for your Diary Swanmore Fete 2021 – Sadly, due to Covid regulations we have decided to cancel this year’s fete.

Not only that, but we are Hampshire’s only Independent Care provider to qualify for this prestigious accolade.

Summer is upon us! We have been blessed with some glorious sunshine and the Lapis team are out in shorts! After an exceptionally long wet winter it’s what we have all been waiting for, perfect for lifting our spirits and reuniting with friends and family.
At Lapis Care we encourage everyone to enjoy the sunshine as much as possible, so we have created our top ten safety tips for remaining safe in the sun. 1. Keep hydrated- it is extremely important to stay hydrated.
Your water/fluids intake should increase when its hot (avoiding excessive alcohol). Ensure you have plenty of drinks to hand and have some water every 1-2 hours throughout the day. 2. Wear sun cream. SPF 30 and above is recommended for your face and body whilst outside in the sun. 3. Do not leave any one in closed vehicles, especially children and animals. 4. Keep your home cool, open windows and close curtains in rooms that are hit by direct sunlight. 5. Try to stay out of direct sun between 11am and 3pm, any walks or exercise are recommended outside of these times. 6. Don’t forget about your pets! As much as they enjoy the sun too, be sure to provide shaded cool areas for them to rest and ensure plenty of water is available to them, they may drink more than usual so make sure water is always topped up. 7. Dress for the weather. Try to wear light loose clothing that will keep you cool and consider wearing a sun hat when out and about. 8. Think heat, think hygiene. Remember to keep your home clean, the heat can attract bugs especially flies in the kitchen and bins, remember to empty waste bins regularly and keep surfaces clean. 9. Sleeping in the heat can often be uncomfortable, try changing to lighter bedding to keep the bed cooler while you sleep. 10. Ice lollies! Add them to your shopping list, a lovely treat to enjoy and keep you cool in the sun! Your Local Home Care Provider & Consultancy Service, Owned and Run by Registered Nurses
