There has been much written regarding the future of High street Estate Agents due to the impact of on line agencies, in fact in some quarters it is assumed it will be when and not if High Street Agents disappear altogether. It may therefore appear an odd time for a major refurbishment of Churchfields office but as Partner David Swift explained:

GAL A BALL Diverse Abilities celebrated raising over £90,000 at its annual gala ball, held at Poole Lighthouse, which was raising funds for the vital services the charity runs to support children and adults living with disabilities in Dorset, and their families. The Parisian-themed event, which was kindly sponsored by Franses Jewellers of Bournemouth, was an extraordinary evening with over 400 people attending. Adults and families the charity supports, Diverse Abilities staff, sponsors and other members of the local community had an unforgettable time from the moment they walked in on the red carpet until carriages arrived at 1am. The money raised at the gala ball, and other events Diverse Abilities runs every year, has a huge impact on the children, adults and families the charity supports. Without the help of the local community, Diverse Abilities could not run its services and make a difference to those it cares for, providing children and adults a future they deserve and being a lifeline to parents. Next year’s gala ball is taking place on Saturday 23 November. To reserve your tickets now call 01202 718266.

GOADSBY CONTINUE SUPPORT OF ST PETER’S CHURCH Goadsby in Bournemouth are delighted to announce the continuation of their support to St Peter’s Church, sponsoring their annual Christmas Fayre for the second year in a row. Adam Carter, Lettings Manager of Goadsby Bournemouth arranged for promotional boards around the Church and a donation, promoting the event to both local people and busy shoppers visiting the area. Following last year’s event, St Peters Church were pleased to advise they were able to make donations of £500 to the Detached Youth Project and £500 to the Chaplaincy as a result of the proceeds.

“All service industries encounter new competition, new ideas and changes in customer expectations and requirements, and Estate Agency is no different. Whilst recognising on-line agents have a part to play in the sector, high street agents will also have an important part to play as long as they provide a five star customer service. Increased competition, regulations and legislation will see both on-line and high street agents who fail to provide an enjoyable customer experience fail whilst the rest will continue and flourish. Our 115 five star Google reviews pay testament to the ethos of Churchfield and are a shining endorsement to the excellent colleagues I am privileged to work with.” To find out more about Churchfield please drop into the new office, visit their new website at www. churchfield.uk.com or telephone 01202 779911 or if you want to find out what the public feel about them check out their Google reviews.

Both Goadsby and the Church are hoping this year will be just as successful if not more so. The money provided to these charities really does make a difference. DIVERSE ABILITIES

As part of the Rotary Club of Bournemouth’s centennial year, they selected Diverse Abilities as one of its charities of choice to celebrate the milestone, and as longstanding supporters of the charity’s school, Langside, the Rotary Club of Bournemouth donated an incredible £2,500 this Christmas to help deliver a very special present.

The team at Jackson Developments are reflecting on an extremely positive sales period at their Marella site in Highcliffe where over 75% of the new apartments have been sold off- plan. The stunning cliff-top, private gated development consists of 9 properties with panoramic sea views, underground parking and a short level walk to the local high street.

The funds will purchase a specialist classroom chair, which will assist children supported at the school and more specifically the triplets, Harvey, Gabriel and Daniel, that started attending this year. The specialist classroom chair will help the three special boys, who all have varying disabilities, progress even further at the school because it will offer them the postural support they require to enable them to access their environment and activities in order for them to make progress and reach their potential.

Jacksons Developments MD, Simon Jackson advised, “We are attracting purchasers from all over the UK, as well as achieving interest from locals too. We are very aware that, particularly in the current UK housing market, we are in a fortunate position having sold such a high percentage of the apartments off-plan. This is consistent with sales from our other sites, such as Needles Watch and considering how much effort we as a team put into satisfying the needs of the purchaser it is very pleasing to see this trend continuing for us. People love the modern and contemporary look of our apartments. The premium location, design and service that we offer is quite exceptional and is a real draw for potential purchasers.” Anyone interested in finding out more about the apartments is urged to contact Kathryn Spotswood E: kathryn.jdl92@gmail.com T:01202 708893

CAT EG O R I E S AT T H E 2 0 1 9 D O R S E T L EGA L AWA R D S Building on last year’s success as Dorset’s “Personal Injury/Clinical Negligence Team of the Year” in 2018, the teams at Dutton Gregory Solicitors have been selected as finalists in the following seven categories: 1. Law Firm of the Year (100+ employees) 2. Family Team of the Year 3. Personal Injury/Clinical Negligence Team of the Year 4. Private Client Team of the Year 5. Property Team of the Year 6. Lawyer of the Year – William Warnock, Commercial Property 7. Partner of the Year – Emma Menzies, Personal Injury Nominations for all categories wouldn’t have been possible without the strong work ethic and quality customer service staff consistently demonstrated to clients. The final stage of the Award selection process is a “mystery shopper” evaluation and panel judging, with the winner announced at the 2019 Finals at the Bournemouth International Centre on Friday 1st March. Dutton Gregory Solicitors would like to say a thank you to Organisers ASH Elite, and Family Team/Private Client Team of the Year Sponsors - Iceberg Group and Saffery Champness.

INVESTING IN PEOPLE AWA R D The inaugural BH Star Awards have won the backing of more sponsors, with headline sponsor Shorefield Holidays also supporting the Investing in People category. Shorefield Holidays operates eight holiday and leisure parks in the BH postcode and New Forest area, and as a family owned business, has itself won awards for its parks, facilities, holidays, training and staff. The independent awards were launched to honour and bring public recognition for varied achievements and positive contributions from those professionals working across the hospitality, tourism and retail sector. Covering the BH postcode areas – Bournemouth, Christchurch, Poole and Wimborne, plus the surrounding towns and villages – entrants may work in tourism, retail and hospitality. A celebratory semi-finalist event will follow, culminating in a gala dinner in March 2019. The Investing in People award will recognise what has led to being an attractive employer through dedication to training and development. Judges will be assessing those who have worked with groups and individuals, focusing particularly on how training has supported people who may have found it difficult to gain employment in the past. For more information about BH Star Awards visit www.bhstars.co.uk. Nomination and entry forms can be found here www. bhstars.co.uk/categories. Alternatively, email jackie@bhstars.co.uk Visit www.shorefield.co.uk for more information about Shorefield Holidays.

Christchurch-based brand Jimmy’s Iced Coffee has unveiled a fully-stocked fridge for staff working in the emergency department of The Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch Hospital. The fridge, which was installed at the hospital on Monday 3rd December, will enable emergency department staff to grab a complimentary Jimmy’s Iced Coffee caffeine boost whenever they please. Donating 390 cartons of Jimmy’s Iced coffee every month is the company’s way of saying thank you to all the hard-working hospital staff. Co-founder Suzie Cregan, who unveiled the fridge, said: “Our fridge is a way to give back to the incredible, selfless team at our local hospital and reward them for their amazing work. The whole team are super proud to be supporting the hospital and want to make those long shifts just that little bit easier with a refreshing carton of Jimmy’s.” Lindsey Sturman, Fundraising Manager of Bournemouth Hospital Charity, said: “We’re thrilled to see such wonderful support from Jimmy’s Iced Coffee. It is great to see local companies supporting their local hospital and this amazing gesture has really made our hard-working emergency team feel very appreciated. The new fridge and iced coffees will be a welcome addition to the team’s break area.” The independent family-owned brand has recently relaunched its products with new vibrant packaging, a lower sugar content and Rainforest Alliance Certified Arabica coffee. Since the brand’s humble beginnings, one carton of Jimmy’s Iced Coffee is now sold every four seconds across its UK stockists including Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, Boots, M&S, Morrisons, Ocado and multiple convenience stores.

RICHMOND HOME IM PROVEM ENT CO ‘FUTUREPROOFING’ OUR COMMUNITY Richmond Home Improvement Co is becoming more involved with Bournemouth Rugby Football Club this season. They are delighted to have become the Under 7’s team shirt sponsor, as well as being one of the sponsors for the main Club. Allan Tofield of Richmond Home Improvement Co, one of Dorset’s leading window, door and conservatory installers, said: “We are already involved with the Rugby Club and enjoy the camaraderie and atmosphere that accompany the first team games. Their corporate hospitality prior to each home game is fantastic and the pre Match lunch is great, so to be involved in their 125th Anniversary year is a privilege. Here at Richmond we are ever conscious of our legacy and with my son and daughter working in the business with me, we all feel it is essential to be forward thinking for the next generations – whether that’s the future of the team by supporting their junior teams, or the future of our planet by disposing of waste responsibly in our day job.” James Croker, CEO of Bournemouth Rugby said: ”It’s thanks to community sponsors and supporters such as Richmond that Bournemouth Rugby FC continues to flourish and be the success it is today. By also now investing in our junior teams, it brings the security we require to take the club from strength to strength for future generations.” For more information on the services that Richmond offer, then why not contact their friendly team on 0800 614102 .

ASK THE EXPERT

Ask the expert C O N TA C T I N G Y O U R REMOVER Steve Webber, Director of Maidmans Moving & Storage has many years’ experience in the moving and storage industry. Mrs K asks, “when is the best time to contact our remover?” Steve says: “Before contacting a removal company, you need to think about why you are contacting them. It may be to obtain an initial quotation to help you calculate your moving costs. You may also want information on storing items during the move, or information about packing services.” “Every removal company will be happy to pop out and give you an idea of the overall budget for your house move. This will be a free quotation and you need not feel an obligation to use the company.” “If you are looking for a firm fixed quotation, invite an experienced surveyor to your home to assess exactly what you will be taking with you, what needs putting into temporary storage and if any items will need specialist dismantling and re-assembling at your new home. Steve says: “Contacting your removal company for a local move about a month in advance is ideal and will give you time to have the removal quotation sent to your home, to discuss any issues and to plan for the move date. When moving to Europe or further you should make contact earlier to ensure all documentation and time scales are considered”. Do you have a question for Steve? Send it to steve.webber@maidmans.com or use the contact details below.

Interior Design plays a big part in everyday life, and is an important technique that is given high attention all over the world nowadays. It gives a building a soul and makes a space more functional, pleasant and liveable. Great spaces do not happen by accident, and although some people have a gift for composing rooms in a way that is pleasing to the eye, as well as functional, most people struggle with this. It seems so easy, but they cannot make it happen. Interior Designers have extensive training that accompanies an interior design degree. When we look at and plan a room, we always base it on the principles of design: scale and proportion, balance, rhythm, emphasis, and harmony. For a room to come together well, all these principles should be considered. We also pay attention to the elements of design: space, line, shape and mass, texture, light, colour, and pattern. As designers, we use our knowledge in these areas to create interiors that are physically and psychologically comfortable, as well as beautiful and functional.

ASK THE EXPERT

Ask the expert about

INSURANCE In a regular series, staff from A-One Insurance Group will bring advice and guidance on choosing a broker, the types of insurance you should consider and dispel some Insurance myths. A-One Insurance Group is a professional and highly visible insurance broker based in the South of England. Our clients renew with us year on year and refer their friends to us as they know we keep our promises and trust our philosophy. Whatever you need, from home insurance to complex commercial risk advice, we can provide a solution.

Ask the expert C U STO M WO R LD – AN D L E T T H E R E B E L I G H T… Especially in these dark winter months, creating light in your home is essential. When choosing interiors, it is important to consider how much natural light enters your room. Try not to block out or absorb any natural light but in fact enhance it as best you can through the choice of décor and furniture.

Steph Selby heads up our dedicated Property Team who specialise in whatever you need from residential flats insurance. Her team can provide bespoke solutions for your insurance needs incorporating expert advice to manage and reduce risk and ultimately cost. As with all our clients, our relationships with homeowners and landlords are founded on personal service and direct accountability.

Whilst there are many colours to choose from when selecting interiors, as a Designer, I always advise neutral calm tones. Splashes of colour can be added through soft furnishings and of course it is less expensive to replace when you fancy a change! In our experience, grey is still the colour of choice but this can be softened by choosing a warm cashmere tone. If you want to add darker colours then this can always be done by having a dark carcass and keeping the door and drawer fronts light.

For more details about our Blocks of Flats Cover, call Steph and the team today on 01425 486541 or email stephanie.selby@aoig.co.uk Keith Callaway caters for personal clients with bespoke requirements where they have their main residence and additional properties under warranty free cover as well as multiple vehicles often reducing the number of policies down to one portfolio renewal date.

You also have the option to add lighting into our furniture. A simple strip light under a cupboard or a wall light integrated into your headboard will not just provide functional lighting, but help to create a warm and relaxing environment. And let’s not forget mirrors! Not only the perfect way to make a small space look bigger, they bounce light around the room. As they are our least expensive sliding door type it is a more affordable option than you think.

For more details, please contact Keith on 01425 486684 or keithc@pwinsurance.co.uk Richard Pettifer heads up our Personal Lines Team who are highly experienced in products such as Motor Insurance, including classic car and high performance vehicles and home insurance including let policies.

Even though things have been very busy and exciting, we still found time to enjoy the festive season. Thanks to Pure Networking and Bournemouth Chamber of Commerce, we attended the very prestigious Fire & Ice Ball at the Pavilion in Bournemouth. We wined and dined all night and even managed to get up and dance with our partners, even if we were terrible! All that remains is to thank all that have contributed to our amazing 2018 and look forward to 2019. We are on the up and up, and not looking down for a second. Happy New Year!

Mexican winter-sun paradise It’s famous for its superb beaches but, as Lisa Haynes discovers, there’s so much more to Tulum’s trendy next-door neighbour, Riviera Maya. It’s 8pm and we’re watching a vintage Meet Joe Black movie on the beach. The blow-up cinema screen is propped up by palm trees, while the sunloungers we were applying SPF on earlier in the midday heat are now makeshift cinema seats. It doesn’t get much more perfect - until a sandstorm suddenly whips up and we’re forced to watch the ending indoors (well, nobody wants sand in their popcorn!).

Freak storms aside, the white sand beaches in Riviera Maya are idyllic day or night, and it’s not the only time I’m blown away by natural wonders during my trip, either. It’s my first time visiting Mexico’s Caribbean coast and the landscape is vastly different to the more rugged backdrops on the Pacific side. On a glorious sunrise flight to Cancun from Mexico City, the view from above is like a never-ending blanket of dense jungle - the kind that’s uninterrupted and makes

Not long after arriving, I observe giant pelicans catching their fish suppers in the sea, and spot families of turtles in the jungle river that look so ancient they have a layer of algae moss decorating their shells. To put the magnitude of this jungle resort into perspective, it takes a full five-minute drive to reach our hotel lobby from the towering grand entrance on the highway. We venture to the top floor to take in the vast views of the jungle. We’re told if we look closely, we might even spot the odd swinging spider monkey (‘mono arana’ in Spanish).

you wonder when civilisation will start to unfold. There are more trees than I’ve ever seen in my life and a good preview of what to expect when we arrive at our hotel, Grand Velas Riviera Maya. The front of our Grand Class hotel - all Instagramperfect palm trees, white sand and serene ocean - is a stark contrast to the back, which is dense Mayan jungle that looks like a thick curtain of tropical trees. Beach or jungle, whichever camp you’re in, is in abundance on Grand Velas’ epic sprawling site, which boasts three hotels within the resort: Zen Grand, Grand Class and Ambassador. Why the trio of options? Well, some people prefer the sound of the ocean from their balcony, while others love the feeling of waking up in the lush jungle, is the resort’s explanation. And for the indecisive like me? You can easily move around the palm-tree populated resort via shuttles to fully absorb both settings.

When we return to the hotel, it seems fitting to dine at the all-inclusive Mexican gourmet restaurant, Frida. We’re given a must-try tip by the executive chef, Mario Lopez, to try the ceviche and tostadas dishes that combine seafood and pork. He goes on to tell us that one of the signature foods from the region is cochinita pibil, a slow-roasted pork dish from the Yucatan Peninsula, that fuses Mayan cooking techniques with Mexican food.

D ES I G N T R EN D S TO LO O K O U T FO R I N 20 19 With a new year comes a new set of home design trends that will shape interior design for the next 12 months. Elliotts Living Spaces designer, Victoria Anderson, has been looking at some of the key trends that will be dominating our kitchens and bathrooms in 2019. MOVE OVER GREY

Dulux has announced Spiced Honey as their colour of the year and I believe that 2019 will see people opting for warmer colour palettes. This sophisticated shade will help bring a more positive and cosy atmosphere to social spaces. EDGIER BATHROOMS

While sleek lines will continue to be popular, I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see a shift towards edgier bathrooms in 2019. Barely-there shower cubicles will be replaced by black-framed enclosures, based on steel-framed Crittall windows. This simple design creates a sleek look with a nod toward industrial styling. COPPER

2018 was dominated by metallic accents and this will continue into 2019, with copper remaining popular. Taps and handles in copper, mixed with paired down contemporary furniture or classic marble, create a luxe feel. This Laura Ashley kitchen (pictured below), with copper handles and a Franke copper tap, at our Lymington showroom captures the trend well. Brass will also be a colour to watch out for in 2019.

Looking to create your perfect living space in 2019? Get inspired at your local Elliotts Living Spaces showroom in Fareham, Lymington, Ringwood or Romsey and enjoy a free design service. Victoria is based at our Lymington showroom on Ampress Park.

of the world's most idyllic islands There's a certain romance associated with islands. They embody true escapism and detachment from the wider world and have provided the setting for countless novels, such as the classic Robinson Crusoe, which celebrates it's 300th anniversary next year. Our obsession with these castaway land masses has also translated into the digital age, with more than 21 million images on Instagram tagged with #island. Here are five of the world's top island escapes, along with the iconic features that set them apart...

CAPE BRETON ISLAND, NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA LANDMARK: Cabot Trail Completed in the 1930s, this scenic highway in the east of Canada forms a loop of the northern tip of Cape Breton Island. It hugs the craggy coastline along the western and eastern sections, whilst also passing through Cape Breton Highlands National Park, the Margaree River Valley and along Bras d'Or Lake. There's a choice of ways to explore the area: Try a coastal kayak, a whale watching expedition, or a potter around the fishing villages visiting craft studios.

MIYAJIMA ISLAND, JAPAN LANDMARK: The Great Torii Gate Just off Miyajima Island in Hiroshima Bay, this giant orange gate is a Shinto shrine, created in the 12th century to honour the three daughters of Susanoo no Mikoto (the Shinto god of seas and storms). The Great Torri Gate is part of the Itsukushima Shrine, and is one of the most celebrated tourist attractions in Japan. "It's an impressive sight," says Reece Walton, a Japan expert at Kuoni. "Whether you see it as it appears to float during high tide, or you go when the tide is out." BALI, INDONESIA LANDMARK: Tanah Lot Water Temple This outcrop has been shaped by ocean tides over the centuries and is home to Hindu pilgrimage temple Pura Tanah Lot, one of seven sea temples found along Bali's coast. "The temple sits on a rock about 100 metres out to sea and is incredible to watch at sunset," says Mary Janiec, a Bali expert at Kuoni. "At low tide, you can walk out to the island, and at high tide it's a dramatic scene, with waves crashing against the rocks." Legend says the temple is guarded by sea snakes, who protect the area from evil spirits.

MAURITIUS LANDMARK: An underwater waterfall This optical illusion is actually a geological phenomenon. Mauritius sits above a submarine plateau, or ocean shelf, just 150-metres below sea level. The 'drop-off' of the shelf is what forms the appearance of a waterfall, with a sudden plunge of 4000-metres contrasting with the relatively shallow shelf. It's not actually water that is falling into the abyss; it's sand from the island's beaches being moved by the ocean's currents. For the best views, take a seaplane tour; highlights also include the coral reef and Le Morne Mountain. MOZAMBIQUE LANDMARK: Sand dunes on Bazaruto Island Untouched white sand dunes stretch for miles around Sailfish Bay, and are ideal for a number of beach activities. Simply soak up the setting with a cocktail in hand, or explore the area with more adrenaline-filled activities, such as high-speed dune boarding traversing the height of the dunes, or a horseback ride. Helicopter transfers to the dunes are available through the lodges and hotels on the island, with travellers best avoiding the rainy season between November and March.

Children are Precious.

Make sure they are looked after should you die. The last thing you probably want to think about after having a baby is what will happen to them if you die, but with over 100 children bereaved by a parent every day in the UK, it is important to appoint guardians to give you peace of mind should something happen to you. A guardian is someone you would be happy to take care of your children in the rare event that both parents die before the children reach 18. It is possible to appoint guardians under your Will. To appoint guardians you have to have parental responsibility (PR) for the child or children, which a mother automatically has, but a father doesn’t unless he is married to the mother at the date of the child’s birth. A father can acquire PR by either marrying the mother of his child, being named in a child arrangement order or by being registered as the father on the child’s birth certificate. It is also important to consider PR in cases of surrogacy or same sex parents. A guardian will have PR for the child, giving them the legal authority to make decisions in relation to their upbringing, education, medical treatment and where they will live, so try and choose someone with similar views and values if you can. Grandparents can be the obvious choice but there are often two

sets and their age going forward may be a consideration. Make sure you talk to the proposed guardian before you actually appoint them, don’t assume that they will be happy to take on the role. There may be significant changes, such as moving house to accommodate everyone, which would need to be considered, creating a major impact on their lives. Guardians do not become legal parents so are under no legal obligation to financially maintain your child. You could appoint trustees to liaise with the guardians, who would be responsible for providing the financial support using the funds left within your Estate. The same people can act as trustees and guardians although you should carefully consider whether this could cause a potential conflict of interest. Although it is not legally binding, a letter of wishes can be extremely helpful to guardians, providing guidance into areas such as the type of education you would want your child to have, any contact you would wish to be maintained with friends and family, religious instruction etc. You can keep reviewing this over time as well. Give yourself peace of mind this New Year and start thinking about Guardianship today.

Remember the ‘why’. What’s your motivation? It’s easy to lose sight of the ‘why’ when you’re immersed in the doing - it’s hard to remember why you started a diet when you are panting away, or the scales remind you how far you have to go. Same with business, it’s demoralising when a client doesn’t call or a campaign isn’t a success. Here’s when you remind yourself of the motivation, the thing that you emotionally connect with that drives you to achieve the goal. It’s this emotional motivation that will keep you going through the 6am runs or the midnight emails.

This has allowed us to continue to grow and build on our business, continually taking it to the next level. It gave us the ability to extend to new premises and to open up more Bathroom showrooms. We also largely introduced boiler spares into our stores. What is next for J&B’s? It’s been a very exciting year for us. We have been developing a new website among other things which officially went live last month and in July we opened the doors to our sixth branch in Blandford Forum, Dorset.

Space-saving hacks for homes with limited room There is a line between cosy and cluttered, and these tips and tricks will help you not to cross it. In the heart of the urban jungle, space is a fiercely contested commodity. In England and Wales the average square metre of property costs £2,395, but that rises to more than £3,000 in Bristol, almost £4,000 in Winchester, and nearly £5,000 in Brighton. In Kensington, London, one square metre of floor space sets you back an average of £19,439. Small wonder many of the nation’s city-dwellers must squeeze every drop of use out of nook, corner and cranny.

So, if you’re struggling with a shoe-box apartment, fit more for hobbit than human, here are a few hacks to help make your paltry pad feel positively palatial... Furniture efficiency However many ornaments you erect, and whatever colour your wallpaper, it is still the furniture - the big, bulky must-haves like beds and tables - that will define how a room’s space operates. Consider two main tactics: Reducing the size of a piece of furniture, and making one piece of furniture perform multiple and different tasks. ABOVE A room that is too small | Thinkstock/PA

Use your walls wisely: Mounted TVs are nothing new, but cups, racks, hooks and boxes can be fixed to almost any surface cheaply and without professional help. For those in the advanced class, check out MADE’s fold-out, wall-mounted desk (£199, made.com) - a retractable table that flips up into the wall, cunningly masquerading as a small cupboard. Store smart Under-the-bed storage is a time honoured space-saver, and with good reason. Pull-out draws allow you to stow items still in daily use, while rubber ‘bed risers’ will hoist your mattress further from the ground, making room for another seven inches of stuff. Fill these with Argos’ vacuum storage bags (£9.99, argos.co.uk), making your spacesaving strategy almost literally airtight. Your aim should be to maximise what is already there. Instead of a traditional coffee table, could you instead put your drinks down on an elegant, varnished oak storage chest, or use the edge of your desk as a Corners are your friends

The spacious aesthetic Now that your home is feeling little more spacious, you can set about making it look even more so. A light, textured colour scheme lends any room an airy, open feel (just think how claustrophobic black paint feels), while mirrors help build the illusion of depth. Stripes can elongate a room the same way they do a person (we recommend a rug; wallpaper might be overkill), and opt for a clear shower curtain to avoid visual foreshortening. Canny decorators follow the apocryphalsounding

that can so easily ruin a tiny room.

If your bank account is bigger than your living space, YO! Home (the same company that brought you YO! Sushi) now offer a range of boutique mini-homes in which all your domestic needs emerge seamlessly from walls, floor and ceiling. Your dining table pops up disconcertingly from below (set down into the floor; the floor itself takes the place of seats), and cupboards are replaced by giant underfloor storage hatches that would feel right at home in a smuggler’s den. Pretty nifty I’m sure you’ll agree, but the party piece is a luxurious double bed which descends silently from the ceiling (yes from the ceiling, do not adjust your set), and comes to rest atop a square of sofas that, during daylight hours, passes for a lounge. It’s high-end stuff, but for making the absolute most of the space available these integrated builds are just the ticket. Words by Luke Rix-Standing, Press Association

top garden trends for 2019 As we ring in the New Year, Hannah Stephenson asks the experts to predict what’s going to be ‘growing’ in popularity over the next 12 months. We’ve had a year of greening up the urban landscape, cacti craziness and working out how to reduce plastics in gardening in 2018 - but what’s going to be trending for the New Year? Go tropical Louise Golden, head of garden at Dobbies Garden Centres, predicts the ‘Afrique’ tropical look is going to be big next year. “People are going for a big, lush feel to their gardens, depending on where they are living. If they’re further south, they can do that in their gardens, while in the north, they can plant in pots and pull them into sheltered places. Big, dramatic plants - such as cordylines, canna lilies and hardy palms - are going to be on-trend, and richly-coloured foliage bedding plants, such as coleus with amazing leaf patterns, will give gardens that wow factor. “People are wanting to experiment with something new, and the younger generation is interested in the challenge of growing something regarded as a bit more tropical.”

Boost urban spaces Living walls are still popular for those who have little space and need to grow plants vertically, says Golden. “They’re really easy to install and you can buy selfwatering units,” she says. “You can use them outside on balconies or to green garage walls.” Put outside lights above them to add emphasis, and grow herbs in them, which you can add to barbecued foods and salads in summer. Self-watering containers and window boxes will continue to gain popularity in 2019, particularly for gardeners with little time, and if we continue to have hot, dry summers, she predicts.

Keep upcycling “One trend that we saw last year was upcycling - people taking an item such as a chest of drawers that they’d painted, and then opening the drawers at various levels and planting it up. That’s set to continue,” says Golden. “I’ve also seen a trend with upcycled enamelled containers used for planting things like chillis.” Accessorise with shrubs Shrubs are so versatile, providing subtle layering, screening and colour. The Rich brothers note: “Cornus (dogwood) is a great species for 2019, which naturally adds character and a splash of a winter palette through their stem colour.

Make waves with the coastal look “This is going to continue to be popular, because of everybody’s love for succulents. Grasses, succulents and eucalyptus will be the on-point plants for a coastal look,” says Golden. “Those glaucous blue shades look great for these schemes, and there’s a great new shrub called Senecio ‘Angel Wings’ which is silvery, with very large leaves - it looks great with the blue of eucalyptus and cortaderias pampas grass, to form the coastal look.”

Create Nordic calm “This is where the garden is a lot more calming,” says Golden. “It’s green, with glossy foliage and is mainly evergreens, so it’s quite tidy with clean lines. It works really well for people who don’t have much time, as it’s low-maintenance,” she adds. White hydrangeas could be added for cool colour. “Large-leafed plants such as Fatsia japonica and lush green ferns work really well in these schemes,” Golden continues. “You can bring the look indoors too, with ferns and white orchids, which create a calming space and a feeling of wellbeing.” Words by Hannah Stephenson, Press Association

From concept to completion, our experienced and dedicated team based at our Parley workshop will make it their mission, for you to get the most out of your outdoor space for the best price possible. Also due to the ever increasing importance to recycle and protect the environment, the plastic used is recycled in the UK and is the perfect alternative to wood. Our aims are to help rebuild the environment by utilising a commodity, which people would otherwise just throw away, and so turn what to some would be rubbish into a valuable product for everybody.

Financial benefits Achieving value for money is a key driver for any purchasing decision. Although some recycled products have a greater up-front cost, their longevity and durability make them a more cost-effective option over the long term. Our products have many practical and very useful properties and has an infinite range of different uses, some of which being are as decking, fencing, outdoor furniture, planters, boardwalks, landscaping, bollards, signage and construction etc. The list of possibilities is endless and the long-term advantages it has over traditional materials are staggering! It’s a great investment, as it never needs to be replaced due to its high strength and durability, therefore it quickly pays for itself in the long run. In short, it’s worry free!

NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS?

Now that the festive season has come to an end and there is a hole where your Christmas tree once stood, it’s the perfect time to consider filling your home with houseplants to continue the benefits of bringing the outdoors in.

Led-Zip can help create New Year’s Resolutions that you will maintain.

Alongside other benefits, studies have shown that humans are generally happier and feel less stressed when surrounded by a plant. Adding houseplants to a room is a simple yet effective way to boost physical and mental wellbeing.

1. 2. 3. 4.

Save energy. Save money. Be safer, cleaner and improve on my waste. Lower my carbon footprint and be more environmentally responsible. 5. Make your skin look amazing... (Really. LED light is used in skin light therapy treatments! )

The home can be full of airborne pollutants, with carpets, mattresses, paint, household products, pets and even people harbouring toxins – especially in the colder months, when windows tend to be closed and central heating is ramped up. Houseplants help to purify the air, making the air you and your family breathe less toxic. As well as cleaning the air, houseplants can help with mental wellbeing – reducing anxiety and brightening moods.

We can help you stick to your New Year’s resolutions... We offer solutions to your lighting problems. We can design and expertly advise, so you can achieve all you want, Lighting wise in 2019. Switching to LED isn’t complicated – usually, it’s just a matter of changing the light bulb.

Spathiphyllum ‘Sweet Chico’, otherwise known as the peace lily is one of the few air purifiers which flowers. This year-round bloomer rids the air of the volatile organic compound (VOC) benzene, a carcinogen found in paints, furniture wax, and polishes. It also sucks up acetone, which is emitted by electronics, adhesives, and certain cleaners. The peace lily can tolerate shade well.

We keep a large selection in stock. Call into our Showroom for free, friendly advice. New Year’s resolutions sorted...!

Cacti are great for eliminating bacteria, tackling pollution and reducing radiation. Cacti also absorb carbon dioxide at night to release oxygen and tend to thrive in a bright room. Consider putting cacti in your bedroom to help better sleep (just avoid placing too near your alarm clock!) You can tweet @HaskinsGarden for gardening advice or visit www.haskins.co.uk

M OTO R I N G N E WS Nick Fletcher tells us the latest news on all things motoring.

JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE T R AC K H AW K Pricing and UK specification for the new supercharged Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk have been announced. Only 20 Trackhawks will be available this year, starting from £89,999. The supercharged V8 unit delivers 710 hp and is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmisson to give a 0-60 mph time of just 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 180 mph. The standard interior for the UK includes leather seats with an embroidered ‘Trackhawk’ logo, plus Active Noise Cancellation, leather stitched instrument panel, doors, centre console and armrest, Berber floormats with Trackhawk badge and an 825 watt Harman Kardon sound system with 19 speakers. Trackhawk offers more than 65 safety and security features, including Trailer Hitch Camera View at Speed, offering a view of trailered items via the rear-mounted camera while moving; a Valet mode that allows for a personalised, selectable driving experience, and Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist.

R O A D T E S T: C I T R O E N C 4 S P A C E T O U R E R French manufacturer Citroen has long been noted for providing vehicles with outstanding ride comfort, a quality that is an essential aspect of people-carriers. And its latest C4 Space Tourer perfectly illustrates the point, writes NICK FLETCHER. Available in five and seven-seat form, the Space Tourer is among the most spacious and best-equipped MPVs in the class and its ultra-comfortable ride is its ace card in a very competitive sector. The Space Tourer also has an edge over rivals because its styling - particularly its interior - has a more unconventional and arguably more elegant appearance. Space Tourer prices start at £21,670 and the entry version is well-kitted, but for features such as sat-nav, and enhanced infotainment and connectivity you need to move up the range. My five-seat test model was a flagship Flair version which, with 2.0 litre diesel engine, 8-speed auto gearbox and features such as panoramic sunroof, park assist and aircraft style dropdown tables, costs £30,285. Other features include a 12-inch HD central display, parking sensors and reversing camera, hands-free tailgate, media streaming and

smartphone mirroring, auto parking brake and hill-start assist, dual-zone air-conditioning and programmable cruise control. The cabin is light and airy, the wrap-around windscreen gives great visibility and there is ample space for five adults. The rear seats slide and fold for extra load versatility and even with all seats in use, there is still a substantial 793 litres of boot space, expanding to a massive 2,181 litres with rear seats folded. The dashboard is wide and deep and most controls are operated via a large central touchscreen. Underway, the Space Tourer is smooth and responsive and the compliant suspension irons out rough surfaces and shallow potholes. The steering is light and agile though at speed I found the feedback just a little muted. Top speed is 130 mph and the 0-60 mph is crisp at 8.3 seconds. Average fuel economy is impressive at 58.9 mpg and emissions are 128 g/km. As a family vehicle, the C4 Space Tourer is hard to fault. It delivers style, space, comfort and economy at prices which undercut most key rivals in the sector, and it should be on the short-list of anyone planning to buy an MPV.

N E W S BY N I C K F L E TC H E R | M OTO R I N G

R O A D T E S T: M I N I CLUBMAN CIT Y The Mini Clubman is a retro-styled hatchback which looks very different from most in its sector, offering a more charismatic persona and outstanding driving dynamics, writes NICK FLETCHER. With twin rear doors instead of a conventional lift-up hatch and its distinctive Mini ‘face’ which still has faint echos of its 1960s ancestors, the Clubman competes against the likes of the Volkswagen Golf and Ford Focus, and has strong appeal to those seeking something a little different in the crowded hatchback arena. Available with petrol and diesel engines and with manual or automatic gearboxes, the Clubman is priced from £19,995 and it is the entry-level City version featured here. With a three-cylinder 1.5 litre 102 hp petrol engine and 6-speed manual gearbox, this model is well equipped and is aimed not just at families, but at business users. Top speed is 115 mph, the 0-60 mph time 11,3 seconds, and average fuel economy is very respectable at 48.7 mpg. Emissions are 131 g/km.

Standard kit includes alloy wheels, satnav, digital radio, Bluetooth, connectivity features including Apple CarPlay, air-conditioning, cruise control, auto stop-start, rear parking sensors and auto lights and wipers. Build integrity is high standard, as with all models in the BMW group, and the cabin has a top-quality appearance. The dashboard is dominated by a large central instrument dial, again echoing the original Mini, and the controls are well-placed for easy use. Cabin space is very good, with four adults easily accommodated and a fifth squeezed in if necessary. Family hatchbacks are all about practicality and here, the Clubman scores well. The

151

boot space is surprisingly capacious at 360 litres and when the rear seats are folded flat, space is boosted to 1,250 litres giving the car some small-business appeal. On the road, the Clubman gets top marks for performance. The steering is very precise, handling beautifully poised partly thanks to a longer wheelbase than the standard Mini hatchback and partly due to wellbalanced suspension which keeps the car composed on the corners while still delivering good ride comfort. While the Mini Clubman isn’t the cheapest in the class, nor the most spacious, it arguably has the most cachet, a strong sales point in an increasingly image-conscious marketplace.

R O A D T E S T: L E X U S R C F The RC F is a sports coupe from Lexus with striking supercar styling, and supercar performance to match, writes NICK FLETCHER. Powered by a 5.0 litre V8 engine packing a potent 457 hp, the RC F has a top speed of 168 mph and a searing 0-60 mph time of just 4.5 seconds. Not surprisingly, it has selectable driving modes for both road or track! Combined fuel economy is 25 mpg respectable with such power on tap – and emissions are 258 g/km.

Power delivery is smooth and eager with a delightful growl from the twin exhausts, the ride quality is firm but totally composed and there is reassuring grip on fast corners. It offers a terrific driving sensation as the power is unleashed, yet when cruising it can still deliver such comfort than you feel you could drive right across Europe and still arrived fresh and relaxed. This large coupe’s interior has luxury ambiance, and while it does have four seats, the rear pair are in effect just for

The race-bred visual styling of this model makes it a genuine head-turner and several people who I asked to guess its price estimated £100,000 or more. In fact, it is £62,690. Features include torquevectoring differential, an active rear spoiler, a bonnet scoop and large forged alloy wheels.

children. Front occupants get plenty of room and very comfortable powered seats, and the dashboard has an unusual tiered design but is entirely functional and userfriendly. Boot space is not largest in the sector but still very practical at 374 litres. The standard kit list is impressive, and includes a multimedia screen, 10-speaker premium sound system, sat-nav, reversing camera, parking sensors and eight airbags. Safety features include Brake Assist, Hill Start Assist, Stability Control, and Vehicle Dynamic Management. This Lexus has rivals in its sector, most notably the BMW M4 Coupe which is arguably a little more nimble to handle. But when you add the sheer visual impact of the RC F, its superior refinement and the brand’s legendary reliability, in my view it is the overall winner.

From virtual reality to competitive workouts Ready to mix up your gym schedule? Here are the workout crazes you can look forward to trying in the New Year, says Liz Connor. Exercise used to be a kind of arduous torture that plenty of us avoided at all costs, but thanks to influencers, boutique gym studios and wearable gadgets, it’s had a total rebrand - and more of us are spending our hard-earned cash on fitness than ever before.

Each year, shiny new workout trends promise

So while last year we grimaced through strength training and functional fitness, this year there’s a whole new way to sweat... BOOTCAMP WORKOUTS If you’re predisposed to procrastination in the gym, sometimes military-style training is the only way to get the job done. Armyinspired workout classes can help you to burn 1,000 calories in a single session, using a mixture of running and weights to tone muscle and maximise fat loss.

Both you, and your staff, did everything possible to ease my anxiety and explain each process as it was happening. The thought of such major dental work in my mouth filled me with dread for years. It was only your understanding and considerate manner that persuaded me it was the right thing to do, and that it would change my life dramatically. Indeed it has! “Smiling is back on my agenda and eating is a positive joy! Why didn’t I come to you years ago? With grateful thanks.” Jill M.

Due to the high cost of the materials, components and technical support required this treatment does not come cheap, and prices range from 9-14K per jaw. However, our patients feel this is a worthwhile investment in their future with respect to their ability to eat, smile laugh and kiss with confidence, with many patients saying it’s the best money they have ever spent on themselves. If you are interested in whether or not this treatment is suitable for you please call us to arrange a consultation and we will be able to tell you immediately if we can carry out this treatment for you. BELOW Some before and after photographs of a patient who had this treatment

“Having decided to proceed with implants, I considered the alternatives and entrusted the work to a dental team that clearly had very considerable experience of the procedure. After some tests, Philip McCauley advised that he could insert implants and an interim set of fixed upper teeth the same day. My wife then decided to have a similar treatment and we are both delighted and impressed with the results. Walk in with a denture and walk out with new teeth!” Mr G.M., Retired Engineer Patient 1: Before

“Having tried dentures to no avail and feeling totally frustrated, I was referred to Philip McCauley. Since having received my implants crown and bridge, Philip has given me my old mouth back. Where as before I was unable to eat my food properly I can now eat all things I enjoy and feel like a new woman with a wonderful smile. Having my teeth removed and receiving my new implants etc. I can honestly say I suffered very little discomfort and felt no pain mainly because I was in good hands and I would recommend Philip McCauley and this form of dentistry to anyone.” Mrs. G.F., Business Director

What’s on

IN JANUARY

With a vibrant mix of countryside, beaches and attractions, there is always plenty to do in Dorset & Hampshire. Here is a selection of events happening across the counties over the coming weeks.

CINDERELLA

W I N T E R B I R D B O AT S T O

19 – 26 JANUARY

BROWNSEA ISLAND 06, 10, 20 JANUARY & 03 FEBRUARY

It’s the ultimate rags-to-riches story as the celebrated, award-winning Highcliffe Charity Players return to enchant us with one of the nation’s favourite pantomimes, Cinderella. Expect the usual magical quota of sumptuous sets and costumes, dazzling dance routines, knockabout humour and popular show songs as poor Cinders attempts to escape a life of drudgery – and, of course, her horrible Stepmother and Ugly Sisters. With the aid of her Fairy Godmother and a well-fitting slipper, can she win the heart of her handsome Prince? Oh yes she can! It’s fun-filled panto magic – you, too, will have a ball! Be sure to get tickets soon…its selling fast!

AM ERICAN ID IOT 2 2 - 26 JANUARY

Selladoor Productions presents Green Day’s explosive rock musical American Idiot. It is the story of three boyhood friends, each searching for meaning in a post 9/11 world. The show features the music of Green Day with the lyrics of its lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong and book by Billie Joe Armstrong and Michael Mayer. This thrilling musical has had Green Day fans in rapture and introduced a generation of theatregoers to their powerful and moving musical style.

Brownsea Bird Boats, in collaboration with the National Trust, Dorset Wildlife Trust and the RSPB, offer keen wildlife enthusiasts the rare opportunity to view one of the best autumn and winter bird spectacles in the UK. The boats will run from late November to early February and include a two hour landing on Brownsea Island. An experienced guide will lead the tour of Poole Harbour, looking out for the various birds that make it their home at this time of year. Included in the trip will be a landing on Brownsea Island which is closed to the general public from November to the end of January. Once there, visitors can enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the island. BROWNSEA ISLAND www.nationaltrust.org.uk

COOL COAST ICE RINK JANUARY - 23 FEBRUARY

Embrace that wintry feeling with Cool Coast Ice Rink at Bournemouth International Centre! Whether you’re a budding figure skater or feel more comfortable clinging on to the sides, everyone is welcome – the rink is big enough for all. There’s even a mini rink for those first nerve-racking glides and skate mates available to hire for the youngsters.

CIRCUS OF HORRORS: P SYC H O ASY LU M 24 JANUARY

Back with a bang and a brand new show, Circus of Horrors bring their trademark blend of horror and burlesque with bizarre and barely believable acts to Lighthouse. Hosted by the unmistakable Doktor Haze, for more than 23 years Circus of Horrors has shocked audiences the world over, storming into the finals of Britain’s Got Talent and becoming the first circus to perform in the West End for more than a century.

Now in its tenth year, Lighthouse Big Sing returns with an opportunity to learn and perform some of Leonard Bernstein’s most exhilarating choral works at Lighthouse, Poole’s centre for the arts, on Sunday 27 January.

PLEASURE

You don’t need to be in a choir to take part – just be keen to sing.
