HOSPICE

DIVERSE ABILITIES

Poole-based Lewis-Manning Hospice has been chosen by The Dorset High Sheriff, Philip Warr, as one of three charities that he will be supporting during his Shrivel year.

W E LC O M E S E D D I E

The Dorset High Sheriff, Philip Warr, said of his decision: “The level of care that LewisManning Hospice offers local people with life-limiting illnesses is outstanding and by supporting Lewis-Manning as one of my chosen charities I am looking forward to working with the new CEO Clare Gallie to help her by raising the charity’s profile and funds for this much loved local charity.”

Diverse Abilities, Dorset’s disability charity, is delighted to announce the appointment of Eddie Howe, AFC Bournemouth’s football manager, as a patron of the charity’s Splash Appeal.

Lewis-Manning Chief Executive, Clare Gallie, said: “We’re so delighted to have the support of The Dorset High Sheriff, at a time when we are facing a reduction in funding, we very much depend on income generated by fundraising activities and profile raising. Our fundraising enables us to continue to provide a high level of care for our Day Hospice and clinics for the people of east Dorset facing life limiting illness.” The Dorset High Sheriff plans to help Lewis-Manning Hospice with local introductions and will be holding an initial event at Lewis-Manning Hospice in late June where ideas and plans for the hospice will be discussed with supporters and friends. For more information about how to support Lewis-Manning Hospice, please contact Fundraising on 01202 672660 or visit their website lewis-manning.co.uk

H OW E AS A P P E A L PAT RO N

The Splash Appeal is a major project to build a specialist therapy pool for adults with disabilities in Dorset and will be based at the local charity’s activity and therapy centre, The Beehive, which supports up to 50 adults. Children supported by the charity will also have access to the therapy pool and will therefore support hundreds of local people living with physical and learning disabilities. To build the pool, Diverse Abilities needs to raise £1million. By supporting the project or making a donation, you will be helping to transform the lives of many adults with disabilities in Dorset.

Wellbeing by the Lakes is a three day festival exploring what it means to be mindful and live well in this fastpaced modern world. A curated blend of expert talks, live performance, meditation, movement sessions, wholesome food and healing therapies are taking place at Sculpture by the Lakes near Dorchester, Dorset from Thursday 19th – Saturday 21st September 2019. The festival will bring together a wide-ranging programme to inspire and revitalise, visitors can broaden their knowledge, sample innovative and traditional practices for wellbeing and enjoy a restorative day out. At the heart of the festival will be the unique opportunity to witness the Tashi Lhunpo Monks creating an intricate Medicine Buddha sand mandala over the 3 days. On completion the sand mandala will be displayed before being ritually dismantled and offered to the River Frome. Visitors can widen their knowledge with inspiring talks on a wealth of wellbeing topics from a collection of expert speakers, authors and practitioners. From Mindfulness, Creative Journaling, Chinese Medicine and modern Aromatherapy there will be lots of subjects to choose from. There will also be a Move & Flow tent which will house a range of classes led by experienced teachers, designed to get bodies stretching and minds unwinding. From different styles of Yoga to classic Pilates and expressive dance techniques, visitors can try a variety of sessions that support overall wellbeing. Alongside all the talks and movement sessions there will also be lots of delicious, wholesome food stalls, a healing therapies area, an art therapy area, live music, sculpture, and much much more! The website is now live www.wellbeingbythelakes.co.uk and early bird tickets are on sale.

SUMMER MENU

SAXE COBURG IN THE

L AU N C H E D AT K E Y

COMMUNITY

W E ST B A R & G R I L L

Saxe Coburg are still on cloud nine after a wonderful weekend at Christchurch Food Festival, which this year celebrated its 20th Anniversary… what an accolade!

Key West Bar & Grill on Bournemouth Pier has launched a new summer menu, with an American twist, which is impressing locals and visitors alike! Key West’s General Manager advised, “We are super proud of our summer menu. I’ve previously worked in Florida and have always been keen that our menu offers similar styles of dishes to those that are served in Key West restaurants and reflect the Floridian influences. “Proving popular with diners is our new ‘Fat Boy Burger’ our house cheeseburger with bacon, topped with a stack of BBQ pulled pork and served with chips and house slaw. The ‘Wicked Tuna Burger’ is going down a treat as is our ‘Whole Hog Pizza’ which includes BBQ pulled pork, bacon, ham and mozzarella cheese. We’ve increased our vegetarian and vegan options too to ensure that there is something for all palates and tastes.” Diners can pre-book to ensure that their table is guaranteed for their visit.

N E W M O N T H LY G O K A R T I N G NET WORKING EVENT FOR DORSET BUSINESSES Dorset businesses are networking in a different way thanks to the new Dorset KartNet League – a monthly go karting and networking event set up and hosted by two local companies. Digital marketing agency Bespoke 4 Business and telecommunications specialists Town & Country have jointly organised the monthly league in association with South Coast Karting based at Chapel Gate near Bournemouth Airport. The inaugural meeting took place this month with subsequent clashes diarised for the second Tuesday of each month. And what a first meeting it was! The two host companies were joined by teams from Broadview Shading Solutions, MPloy Staffing Solutions, The Gutter & Cladding Company and Hill Osborne with Town & Country taking the spoils with a thrilling race over 175 laps of the 500m purpose built outside track. Other Dorset-based businesses who would like to join the league are encouraged to contact Hayley Baverstock at Bespoke 4 Business on 01202 684400.

Saxe Coburg Estate Agents were once again sponsors of the event, hosting an array of celebrity and locally renowned chefs, in their branded Demonstration Theatre. Hundreds of guests each day were treated to live cooking and interviews from the likes of Dean Edwards from ITV and chefs from The Pig, Chewton Glen and Captain’s Club. The reason Saxe Coburg has continued to sponsor the Christchurch Food Festival is because it falls in line with their community ethos. They believe in supporting and sponsoring local events which engage with local people. Sponsoring events such as this, assists organisers with their planning and execution, which is really positive in their eyes. The whole weekend was a fantastic success with local restaurants and bars booming, as well as the trade stalls through the high street and Quay, which was great to see. Julian Hewlett from Saxe Coburg commented, “We hope you enjoyed Christchurch Food Festival as much as we did and if you’re looking to make a move this year or next, our team of property experts welcome the opportunity to help you make your property ambitions a reality. We have hundreds of happy customers across Dorset and Hampshire and you could be one of them.”

Beachgoers heading down to Bournemouth this month will be treated to an iced coffee, yoga, music and a whole lot more as popular beach side brand Jimmy’s Iced Coffee takes over Bournemouth’s iconic beach huts.

O P E N YO U R GARDEN FOR CHARITY Diverse Abilities is looking for the best, brightest and most beautiful gardens in Dorset - it doesn’t matter how big or small, or whether it is exotic, charming or formal, they would all be perfect. The local Dorset charity is looking to get Dorset gardeners involved to open their gardens between June and August to raise funds through entry fees to view the garden, refreshment stalls or selling plants. Daisy Roe, corporate and community fundraiser at Diverse Abilities, said: “We are very excited about our first Open Gardens initiative and very thankful to Parterre for signing up. If you have a garden you are proud of and are happy to open it up to the public to help us raise vital funds, for children and adults living with disabilities across the county, then come and get dug in. You can open for a full day or just a few hours.”

For the whole month of June, the Dorset based brand will be wrapping five beach huts near Bournemouth pier in the brand’s signature bold creative carton designs to mark the start of summer and the launch of a brand-new product to their Iced Coffee range. The beach huts will serve as a hive of activity, giving people the chance to sample the Jimmy’s range of Iced Coffees as well as embrace the beach side lifestyle that is at the heart of the brand. To encourage the community to enjoy and protect the award-winning coastline as much as possible, a host of events will be taking place on the shore including a daily morning dip in the sea with residents and business owners to encourage mindfulness for the day ahead. The brand will also be hosting hip hop yoga sessions, surf and SUP lessons in collaboration with Sorted Surf Shop, and beach cleans in partnership with the Leave Only Footprints group, plus they will be teaming up with The Wave Project to host a BBQ for their volunteers and a proportion of all sales for ticketed events will include a donation to the surf charity. On June 20th there will also be a ‘Screw it Just Do It’ evening event on the beach hosted by local entrepreneur and business mentor Alex Chisnall, featuring Jim and Suze doing their first ever joint talk as well as entrepreneur Paul Turner, who received investment from Peter Jones on Dragons Den for his award winning sausages. For more information and updates on events visit www.facebook.com/jimmysicedcoffee.

TO U R I S M AWA R D S SPONSORS The Dorset Heavy Horse Farm Centre in Verwood hosted the Dorset Tourism Awards (DTA) sponsors and former winners’ lunch. DTA headline sponsors, Saffery Champness Chartered Accountants attended and Partner Nick Fernyhough advised, “What a unique venue this is. It’s easy to understand why the Dorset Heavy Horse Farm Centre were previous winners of the Dorset Tourism Award’s Small Attraction category. They are certainly an outstanding visitor attraction in Dorset. Even after 5 years of Safferys sponsoring the Dorset Tourism Awards, we are still finding new attractions and businesses who are keen to get involved.” The Dorset Heavy Horse Farm Centre is a family run business and farm manager Taya Street enthused, “We’ve really enjoyed hosting everybody today, it’s been an excellent opportunity to showcase our fabulous farm which, as a family we’ve worked hard to build up over the last 15 years. Our aim is to create a balance between education and a fun family day out.”

A new online platform dedicated to the professional property industry has today been launched by Dorset proptech investor Ramsey Assal. Named The Landsite, the new platform connects the various moving parts of the UK’s professional property industry and aims to become the go-to online portal for all businesses and professions associated with the property world. The purpose of The Landsite is to source and attract information from the UK’s professional property sector and centralise it within a digital hub that is easily accessible and universally available to anyone. It offers landlords, tenants, buyers, professional services, property related businesses and independent users access to professional services, land & commercial property, news & analytics and business services. Over eight months in development and with a six-figure investment behind the project, Assal is confident that the platform he’s created will solve the problem of clutter and fragmentation in the professional property sector and will bring together the community by organising relevant information and making it universally accessible in a single destination. With a view to creating a community network for property professionals – the largest in the UK ultimately - one of the additional features of the platform is that land and property can be uploaded by agents and developers themselves via a user friendly, step-by-step dashboard that will give them direct access to active investors, buyers, landlords and tenants. The concept has already captured the attention of overseas investors keen to invest in UK land and commercial property but who are currently restricted by the logistics of managing the process from international locations. The Landsite has been created to bring the country’s property community together in one network so that they can access the information they need in a single place. Initial views on the concept and platform from industry professionals have been highly favourable and the outlook is certainly positive for Assal and The Landsite.

JIMMY’S ICED COFFEE FO U N D ER AWA R D S PUPILS’ ACHIEVEMENTS IN PRIZE CEREMONY ICED coffee entrepreneur Jim Cregan presented awards of recognition to highachievers at Bournemouth Collegiate School’s Prize Giving ceremony. The annual ceremony, which took place on Friday, May 3rd, recognised the outstanding achievements of the pupils with an afternoon of performances and celebrations attended by parents. The co-founder of Christchurch-based Jimmy’s Iced Coffee spoke about how he turned his love of iced coffee into a profitable international business before presenting pupils with their awards. He said: “It was a complete honour to present the Prize Giving and to see all the awesome things the students are doing. “They all deserve to feel super proud of what they’ve achieved. They’re clearly creative, committed and have bags of energy to go out and change the world. That’s cool and I can’t wait to see them make it happen – whatever their dreams are.” Since launching Jimmy’s Iced Coffee eight years ago, the product is now stocked in almost 5,000 stores nationwide including the likes of Waitrose, Sainsburys and Tesco with one carton sold every four seconds. The pupils were awarded for excellent achievements across the board including academic performance, music, art, computer science and sporting successes.

ASK THE EXPERT

PLANNING YO U R M OV E Steve Webber, Director of Maidmans Moving & Storage has many years’ experience in the moving and storage Industry. Steve was recently asked, “What advice can you give me about planning my move?” Steve replied: “It is always advisable to call in a removal company at least 4 weeks in advance of your anticipated moving date. Careful organisation and forward planning can certainly minimise the stress of moving to a new home. “All British Association of Removers (BAR) members, are happy to offer a quotation as soon as you consider moving. This will help you plan your budget. We can work from a provisional moving date and once you have a firm date, we can revisit and refine the quotation with any specific requirements you may need. “It is our policy to turn around all our quotations within a 24-hour period. When you sign & return the acceptance, we will arrange the move for you.” Steve suggests it will be advisable to also consider the distance you will be moving. He says: “Moving longer distances may mean that you need to take into consideration arrangements for children and animals.”

Margaret, 75, living with cancer My day didn’t start too well. Everything had got on top of me and I felt really low. When I called the Macmillan Support Line, I didn’t know where to start. But somehow they helped me find the words. Just talking honestly about how I felt was such a relief. Now I don't have to cope with the bad days on my own.

Here are some other pointers to help you achieve a stress-free move: • Check you have insurance cover either from your remover or house insurer covering the move. • Make a list of everyone who should be notified about your change of address. • Notify the relevant utility companies of your departure. • Arrange for your post to be forwarded. • Check the estate agent has your contact detail to arrange the handover of keys. • Use a BAR registered remover. • For a more detailed list call or email us.

For cancer support at home, over the phone, call the Macmillan Support Line free

SUMMER 2019 INTERIOR DESIGN TRENDS Katie Thomas, Design Director of KTM Design and Regional Director of the Society of British and International Design (SBID) When looking at the Interior Design trends for 2019, there is an overriding theme for more sustainability and natural materials. There is a real emphasis is on choosing designs that are classic and longer lasting, rather than something you’ll get tired of quickly. Stepping away from the tech-obsessed decor we saw dominate the 2018 design trends, 2019 move towards fresh, natural materials such as stone, copper, concrete, and granite. These elements will help bring an organic and serene ambiance to any space while reflecting the world around your home.

VI LL AG E GY M H E A LT H C L U B BOURNEMOUTH OUR STATE OF THE ART HEALTH AND FITNESS CLUB OFFERS:

• 100+ classes a week; including indoor cycling, Aqua Aerobics, Yoga, Pilates, Les Mills Body Pump + Body Combat, Burn, HIIT and Zumba • Spacious gym floor packed with the latest techno gym kit • FREE Health & Wellbeing Checks every 6 weeks to help keep you on track • Expert Personal Trainers to help you reach your goals • Heated indoor 25 Meter Swimming Pool with Sauna, Steam Room and Whirlpool • 24 Hour Gym Access! The First Health Club in the area to offer round the clock training • A private Health Club that stands out from the Crowd with a great social environment for our members

These are some key trends for Interiors for Summer 2019: • We’ve started to say goodbye to stainless steel and polished nickel, and are welcoming brass accents back into our homes. • Mixing metals (no more than a mix of two to three different metal accents) used throughout a room is very ‘in’, and will always be a timeless and tasteful way to create balance and definition. • The latest interiors colour trend is barely there, warm, earthy neutrals. For the past few years, grey has dominated the neutral interiors palette, but sandy shades are back. With ‘Spiced Honey’ as Dulux’s colour of the year and Pantone’s ‘Living Coral’, colour palettes are looking warm, earthy and energising. • The latest trend with bathrooms is all about bold, dark, sultry bathroom designs that evoke an indulgent high-end experience.

Colourstone; resin bound specialists Colourstone use resin bound and bonded screed systems that offer driveways longevity, strength and durability. With so many resin bound driveway companies surfacing, it’s hard to know which one will do the job to the standard you expect, without overcharging you. Most tradesmen can lay a resin driveway; however, the skill is in the knowledge, ensuring that it won’t crack or fall apart a

year later. We have heard many horror stories about resin companies costing the client twice as much due to bad workmanship with getting the resin mix wrong, or laying it on the wrong surface. It pays dividends to use the experts when it comes to resin driveways. Colourstone have been leaders in the industry for the past 13 years, and are so confident in their expertise in the world of resin bound, they will even offer a 10-year guarantee on their work. Some of our team here at House and Lifestyle magazine have personally used them and that’s why we recommend them when it comes to the resin minefield.

THE ART OF POLITENESS G E T T I N G B AT H R O O M STO R AG E RI G H T

Mulling over what to say next, it was brought to my attention, by my somewhat flabbergasted GM, that he had just taken a telephone call from an unruly customer who had found fault with his experience prior to even having set foot through the door (namely our opening times!)

When designing a new bathroom, creating enough storage space for your needs may be difficult if you’re limited by space or the overall design. Andrew Baxter, Bathroom Manager at Elliotts Living Spaces in Lymington, looks at 3 different storage solutions to help utilise bathroom space.

This sparked a thought (More than one to be precise, but this is the more tranquil of the two) … The 24/7 slog of an employee of the Hospitality world is a “life carnivorous” rollercoaster of crisis management, tight margins, business demands dusk til dawn and what we in the industry like to call “AFD’s” – (I won’t elaborate on the acronym) but it’s a recipe for stress to say the very least. Hospitality remains an industry in which there is little regulation surrounding the working climate and the consideration of the allday/every-day nature of the Food and Beverage world, heightened more so in a digital age. This is something which is slowly improving, with more emphasis being pumped into the mental well-being of the nation on the whole, things are beginning to change.

FITTED FURNITURE SUITS ALL SPACES. Whether

you have a large or compact bathroom, there is a wide range of fitted bathroom furniture that can give you the storage and style you require. For those with less space, opting for fitted furniture will combine your sink and toilet along with a modern storage cupboard. WANT TO KEEP FLOOR SPACE CLEAR? Wall hung units will do just that! Opting for wall hung vanity units with storage drawers or cupboards is a great way of gaining additional storage without impacting the floor space. Tall wall hung storage units are also a great idea where more wall space is available.

Whilst the bulk of the responsibility lays in the hands of the employer and we as restauranteurs, hoteliers and operators continue to strive to introduce a fair, balanced and socially acceptable work pattern as well as real career prospects, for those crazy enough to enjoy this turbulent lifestyle! There remains room for some consideration from the consumer; pretyrannous Tripadvisor Review or scathing remark at your waiter or bartender, take a second; just a momentary pause to consider whether your “ill” could be solved via good old fashioned, polite conversation?

CREATE A SHOWER ALCOVE. Sometimes, the

‘boxing in’ of essential bathroom pipework can provide an opportunity to create some additional in-shower storage. Recessed tiled shelves are a perfect spot to store shower essentials and eliminates the need for a shower caddy. Looking to create your perfect bathroom? Get inspired at your local Elliotts Living Spaces showroom in Fareham, Lymington, Ringwood or Romsey and enjoy a free design service.

For those of you who haven’t met me, I’m a traditionalist and it’s something which I feel needs a resurgence in the industry. I also like to talk- hence the column.

Andrew is based at our Lymington showroom at Ampress Park.

U N D E R S TA N D I N G INSURANCE VA L U AT I O N S F O R B L O C K O F F L AT S Buildings should always be insured for the amount it would cost to rebuild them. If you are over-insured, you are probably paying too much for your building’s insurance. If you are underinsured, you face a reduced pay-out in the event of a claim. Insurance claims can be reduced by hundreds of thousands of pounds due to under-insurance. As a broker we recommend that you have your building professionally assessed every 3-5 years to ensure your declared value is adequate, to avoid any liability to you. Getting someone to visit your block of flats to carry out a professional assessment can be time consuming and very expensive. However, thanks to our partnership with RebuildCostAssessment.com we can offer a reliable low-cost service from a ‘Regulated by RICS’ (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) organisation. This is a fantastic and affordable online service which can protect your property from the potentially severe consequences of under insurance.

WHO AM I? Ask the investor

My name is Tracey and I am a professional Organiser and Declutterer. In other words, I can sort your stuff out!

H OW TO S E L L YO U R BUSINESS WITHOUT USING A BROKER?

Often people ask me what on earth is decluttering? It may seem like a new fashion, but in reality, it’s been around a while. We’ve just held our trick for dealing with anxiety and stress to ourselves. Now we’re wanting to share – after all, when you know something really works for you, why would you not share it?

Do you have a strong, profitable business that you would be willing to sell for the right valuation? We have years of experience in generating maximum returns for sellers. If you are looking to sell your business to a Private investor or a Private Equity firm, we are keen to speak to owners looking to exit. And if we both agree with the valuation and the method of delivery of capital, we will buy your company as our investment.

T H E R E N TA L S E C T O R I S S E T T O C H A N G E D R A M AT I C A L LY – A R E YO U R E A DY FO R I T ? The Government has announced the biggest change to the private rental sector for a generation. So what will it mean for local landlords and tenants? Foxes Managing Director Damon Robbins explores the proposed changes… The UK Government recently announced a complete overhaul of the rental sector in a bid to prevent private landlords from evicting tenants from their homes ‘at short notice and without good reason’. The proposals include a consultation on new legislation to abolish Section 21 – a type of eviction process currently used by landlords to regain possession outside the fixed term of a tenancy, giving two months’ notice to a tenant that they will seek possession. Section 21 evictions are commonly used as a ‘backstop’ to Section 8 evictions. The Government proposals are currently understood as follows: 1. To improve security for tenants by repealing Section 21 of the Housing Act (1988), putting an end to ‘nofault’ evictions. 2. To amend the Section 8 eviction process, so landlords are able to regain their property should they wish to sell it or move into it themselves. 3. To reform the court process for housing cases, so that landlords are able to swiftly and smoothly regain their property where they have a legitimate reason.

The Government has announced that there will be a substantial consultation period before the new legislation comes into force. This will be a chance for all stakeholders to submit their suggestions on how such a change can work for all involved. Considering the amount of work involved and the number of pieces of legislation that need to be amended, there is a possibility that the abolishment of the Section 21 will not be a reality until sometime in 2024 – but now is the time to have your say.

Glamping in Dorset You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to go too far afield to have a break away from everyday life, why not explore the wonderful county that we live in so you can spend more time relaxing and less time travelling! We all love the idea of a short getaway, but sometimes you spend too much time travelling and not enough time enjoying yourself. We have begun a search for hidden gems within Dorset and Hampshire, perfect for a couple of days away, without having to go too far, maximising your enjoyment time.

JUNE 19

C A N O P Y & STA R S | S TAYC AT I O N

Tucked away in the Dorset countryside, just an hour from Bournemouth, we pulled up at the gate of the Farmstead Glamping, making our way through we were struck by the idyllic view, in front of us lay fields as far as we could see. Our home for the next couple of nights was to be the Pleasant Pheasant (www.canopyandstars.co.uk/ ThePleasantPheasant), this is one of two huts on site, situated at either end of the field you have no worries about being disturbed by your neighbour. Greeted by our friendly host, Hannah, who took the time to show us around and make sure we knew how everything worked, we excitedly set about exploring our hut. They have set everything up perfectly to offer all of the home comforts you could want, plus more! Inside the hut there is a kitchen area with two gas rings and all of the kitchenware you might need, a wood burning stove

To help us with our search we got in touch with our friends at Canopy & Stars who have a selection of accommodation throughout Dorset. The great thing about Canopy & Stars is their ethos; they aim to inspire people to connect with nature through meaningful experiences, whilst having a positive impact on the environment. They offer a unique selection of accommodation types, including treehouses, gypsy caravans and yurts, just to name a few! This is the perfect company for anyone looking for a break with a difference! With such a wonderful selection to choose from we felt spoilt for choice so handed over to the experts to inspire us. After talking through what we were looking for they recommended we try a converted Shepherdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hut at the Farmstead Glamping in Sturminster Newton. As a lover off all things quirky I jumped at the chance of a unique escape, armed with my partner in crime, in this case being my sister, we headed off for a couple of days of unwinding and exploring.

After a long day on our feet we opted to go out for dinner, looking through the recommendations from Farmstead Glamping we settled on heading to Plumber Manor, a local manor house. The food was wonderfully indulgent, with a varied menu made up of fresh ingredients set in a beautiful country home, keeping all of the original charm, you could almost believe time had stood still. After dinner we head back to our Shepherdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hut and settled down to play a game of cards whilst reflecting back on our stay. It really is a wonderful place to visit; for anyone who needs a break away from everyday life, craves some peace and quiet, or just wants to explore the local countryside, this is the perfect place for you. All the creature comforts you need but with nature on your doorstep, you would be forgiven for not wanting to go home.

Tropical cocktails to put you in a summery mood Whether or not you can escape to a real desert island or tiki bar, these will taste like you're there, says Sam Wylie-Harris. If the recent heatwave put you in a summery mood, so will these tropical and tiki-inspired drinks. From Caribbean classics to reinventions with a modern twist, award-winning bartender Georgi Radev, author of new cocktail recipe book Let's Get Tropical, has taken the best elements of traditional tropical concoctions and tiki culture to create some innovative new mixes. Here are three of his desert island drinks - each with a fruity twist - to get the juices flowing....

1. Margarita "Tequila gained popularity during the Prohibition era, when many Americans travelled to Mexico to satisfy their thirst for spirits. The first recipe for a Margarita appeared in the 1940s and used a simple combination of tequila, orange liqueur, and lime. The trend for adding salt on the rim of the glass came later, as did the vogue for frozen and fruity margaritas." M A R GA R I TA R E I N V E N T E D - O R C H I D E A "The sweet agave syrup balances the citrus flavours." Ingredients 35ml white tequila, 10ml Cointreau, 15ml mezcal, 15ml clementine juice, 15ml pineapple juice, 15ml lime juice, 10ml orgeat (almond) syrup, 10ml natural agave nectar. Method Add all the ingredients to a brandy balloon or wide rocks glass filled with crushed ice. Swizzle, and top with more crushed ice. Garnish with an orchid and a mint sprig.

2. Daiquiri "This drink was invented in the early 1900s, when an American mine engineer, Jennings Cox, was serving drinks to his workers in the Daiquiri region of Cuba. Rumour has it, Jennings ran out of gin, so he started shaking cocktails with white rum instead - introducing the now iconic trio of rum, lime, and sugar. Everyone loved the combination of flavours, and the daiquiri was born." THE CLASSIC RECIPE "The beauty of this classic drink is the simplicity of its ingredients." Ingredients 50ml white rum, 15ml sugar syrup, 20ml lime juice. Method Half fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the ingredients, shake hard and fine strain into a chilled coupe glass. Balance an elegant lime wedge on the side of the glass.

DA I Q U I R I R E I N V E N T E D S O U T H S E A S DA I Q U I R I "The traditional tropical liqueur, falernum adds a twist." Ingredients 50ml white rum, 20ml lime juice, 10ml passion fruit syrup, 10ml falernum liqueur (available from Master of Malt), Angostura bitters, 1 fresh pineapple ring. Method Muddle the pineapple in the bottom of a shaker. Add the rum, falernum, passion fruit syrup, and lime juice. Shake hard with ice and fine strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with a lime twist and a dash of Angostura bitters.

3. Singapore Sling "One of the most delicious, refreshing and advanced cocktails for its time, the Singapore Sling was created at the Raffles Hotel's Long Bar, Singapore, around 1915 by Ngiam Tong Boon. This drink predates tiki-style cocktails - but it's often mistaken for one because of its complexity." THE CLASSIC RECIPE "A delightfully boozy cocktail that slips down easily drink with caution!" Ingredients 50ml gin, 15ml Cointreau, 15ml Cherry Heering, 10ml Benedictine, a dash of Angostura bitters, a dash of orange bitters, 15ml grenadine, 20ml lemon juice, 1 fresh pineapple ring, soda water.

We recognise and value the skills and experience of GPs at all stages of their career and what they bring to health services and Dorset, whether that’s delivering healthcare first hand or supporting changes and improvements. In addition to our own initiatives we are on the lookout for other ideas that could support GPs to extend their careers in a flexible and appealing way.

give a reason. The Section 8 notice can be used but has many loop- holes and does not guarantee the property back. In my 30 years’ experience within the industry, I can honestly say the main reason for issuing a section 21 notice to a tenant is due to rent arrears. In fact, the

We now live in an age where we are all content creators. Our lives are captured through the lenses of cameras and phones near daily. And what a wonderful thing! To have so much to pass on to our loved ones; instantly sharable, even when we are on the other side of the world, and everlasting, for when we are gone and our children and our children’s children can hold on to these precious snippets of time.

Government’s own figures from English Housing Survey 2016/17 shows that 90% of tenancies are ended by the tenant and in most cases of tenancies being ended by landlords was solely down to rental arrears. Scotland have already banned our equivalent Section 21 (Section 33) in December 2017 and we seem to be following their suit in many ways. With all the legislations being thrown at us, it is

Beat the crowds in Mykonos This Greek island is one of the trendiest destinations in Europe. But is it possible to escape the masses on a tiny island? Katie Wright finds out. The sun is just beginning to set as I saunter past Agios Ioannis church, a bright white cube with two red domed roofs perched on the west coast of Mykonos. All afternoon I've watched from my hotel further up the hillside as buses pull up and tourists spill out, taking photos of the tiny chapel. I want to know what all the fuss is about, so I follow the crowds. But as I continue along the dirt track lined with red and yellow wildflowers, I find myself alone and my curiosity is rewarded with something far greater.

From when's the best time to visit, to how to get around, here's what I learned from the locals... When to visit For virtually guaranteed wall-to-wall sunshine, July or August is the obvious time to go to Mykonos, but during high season you'll have to share the island with hordes of other holidaymakers. "In July you can't find peace anywhere," says Olga Panagiotopoulou, a Mykonian native who has watched the island's tourism industry boom in the last few years. Like Ibiza, the beach clubs (they turn into night clubs after dark) are open from mid-May to September, but the party scene is decidedly more sophisticated that the White Isle's - go at the beginning or the end of the season if you prefer the quiet life, Olga recommends.

A few minutes later I emerge at the top of a steep path that leads down to a sandy beach, deserted except for the remains of an old rowing boat. I clamber down the rocky steps, flop down on the sand and marvel at the serene scene. Aren't the beaches of Mykonos all meant to be heaving with mojito-sipping young things and soundtracked by house music? Evidently, not. I later find out this is Kapari Beach, one of the island's few undiscovered (for the most part) coves. While there are plenty of beach clubs dotted around the coast of this 33 square-mile island, drawing a partyloving crowd all summer long, it turns out there are still hidden gems waiting to be unearthed - you just need to know where to look.

Back on Mykonos, if you're looking for the best places to sunbathe, bigger doesn't necessarily mean better. Nammos on the south coast's Psarou beach, is probably the island's most notorious beach club - it's here that the rich and/or famous come to pose on a sun lounger, paying E91/£80 a day for the privilege. A bit out of your price range? Paradise and the smaller Super Paradise beach, both found further west along the coast, offer the same lively vibe as Psarou, but sunbed rental starts from about E11/£10. Too noisy? Try family-friendly Ornos, a 10-minute drive south of Hora, which is home to lots of great Greek and seafood restaurants.

"Zeus was a very, very naughty boy," he says as he explains the mythical tale of how the king of the gods created the island of Delos to hide his pregnant mistress from his wife. You can also book a ferry with Delos Tours (delostours. gr) for around E19/£17 per person, return. You can't stay on Delos - now a UNESCO World Heritage site - but you can stop off to visit the Archaeological Museum of Delos (free when you pay around E11/£10 for the island entrance fee) and see its current 'inhabitants', positioned there by god of the art world, Antony Gormley. The British sculptor has installed 29 iron 'bodyform' pieces as part of his 'Sight' installation, which is in place until October 31.

As day blurs into night, things start to liven up at places like Scorpios on Paraga beach, a Mykonos institution that actually lives up to the hype. "Scorpios is magical," says the Wild Hotel's Panos Vakouftsis, who has worked on the island for the last six years. The restaurant and beach club, about a 15-minute drive from Hora on the south coast, is ideal for sunset viewing and hosts big-name DJs throughout summer, keeping guests dancing until the sun comes up. Entrance is free but it gets busy so it's wise to book a table a few days in advance. In Hora, locals often start their night at the Queen of Mykonos (queenofmykonos.gr) - a tiny, church-like cocktail bar with an LED ceiling where a gin and tonic will set you back around €15/£13. It must be said, on the whole, Mykonos is pretty pricey when it comes to dining and drinking, but one of the few places you find cheap plonk is Skandinavian Bar (skandinavianbar.com), where you can get a glass of wine for about €4.50/£4. "I love it because everyone goes there, it's a mix of all kinds of people," Panos says of the party hotspot, which comprises several groundfloor level bars and an upstairs disco. Grab a drink downstairs and you'll be given a white wristband, granting your free entry upstairs.

Broadview create stunning outdoor entertaining area in Canford Cliffs As specialists in outdoor shading solutions, the team at Poole-based Broadview were delighted when they were recently approached by a homeowner in Canford Cliffs who wanted to transform their patio area into an outdoor dining and entertaining space. Right from the very first meeting at the stunning newbuild property, Broadview realised this was going to be a very special project indeed. A large patio and private leafy garden with wonderful views over the golf course beyond, this was a space that was crying out to be used all year round but with the typical British climate, the owner was taking no chances and wanted to create a fully enclosed patio area that could also be completely open for when the sun shines.

B R OA DV I E W S H A D I N G S O LU T I O N S | H O M E I M P R OV E M E N T

Bromic platinum outdoor heaters and two concealed sliding screens, both controlled by remote control for total ease of use, finished off the bespoke patio cover, and an outdoor kitchen with fridge, pizza oven and BBQ provided the finishing touches to totally transform the garden area into the perfect space for hosting friends and family, whatever the weather. “The property owner is thrilled with the new addition to their home” continued Ian. “The louvred roof offers them total flexibility when it comes to shade and shelter - it can be fully opened or closed at the touch of a button. And the inclusion of integrated LED lighting and outdoor heaters means the area can be used in total comfort, even on the chilliest winter nights, with the sliding screens acting as effective wind breakers.” Gardens and patio areas can easily be transformed into providing more living space that, with a few clever touches and modern technology, can be used all year round. If you want to make the most of your outside space this year, an outdoor structure could be the perfect solution. For a free, no obligation consultation, contact Broadview on 01202 679012 or visit their website: www.broadview.co.uk The ambition was to transform the patio, accessible through sliding patio doors, into a flexible outdoor dining area that could be enjoyed all year round. Following on from a design consultation, a custom painted aluminium outdoor structure with retractable louvred roof was recommended that would sit neatly in the alcove of the building and stretch to the extreme edges of the patio. “Aware that the owner wanted to use the patio area as often as possible, we suggested the inclusion of integrated overhead LED lighting for functional entertainment purposes, as well as LED uplighters around the perimeter edges of the structure to create a unique night time experience” explained Ian Pratt, Director of Broadview.

Stylish home decor updates for summer Want to transform your rooms into super sunny spots? Gabrielle Fagan reveals some mini decor projects and best buys. Your home’s interior can be as sunny as you like, no matter the weather - all it takes is a few simple, budgetfriendly updates and best buys. Indulge in the sweetness of the season with sugary shades and accessories; transform your outlook with exotic prints and a mural; change your view with bluesky window shutters reminiscent of Mediterranean scenes; turn up the heat with tropical foliage (real, faux or palm print will do the job), and last but not least, create your very own ‘hot spot’ for essential chilling on sunny days. Be inspired and put your own spin on the suggestions - and your space will brim with personalised style all summer long... Change your view “If your home could use a seasonal pick-up, windows are a great place to start,” says Susan White, design director at Hillarys. “Whether the light in the room is natural, artificial, reflected, muted or diffused, it can have a major influence on our mood and feelings. Shutters are widely regarded as the ultimate window dressing both from a style and security point of view, allowing plenty of light and air to filter in, and they have a perfect summer feel.

There is also a smaller but still impressive display at Stewarts Broomhill Garden Centre near Wimborne and Stewarts Abbey Garden Centre in Titchfield. With four powerful burners and a high capacity cooking area, the Weber Genesis II E-410 allows everyone at the table to eat at the same time, whether there’s 2 of you or 22 of you! Explore the versatility of charcoal barbecuing with the Weber Master-Touch charcoal grill. The Gourmet BBQ System cooking grate offers endless menu possibilities: choose from a range of accessories and cook breakfast, bake brownies or prepare a crispy pizza in your barbecue.

KITCHEN LIGHTING

Forget those single-use portable BBQs. The Weber Smokey Joe® Premium portable, has a convenient lid lock carry handle and can be taken anywhere! The electric Weber Pulse series allows you to make the most of barbecuing. The cast iron cooking grates achieve flavour and sear marks that you just can’t get in the kitchen. With the Pulse being powered by electricity, there’s no need to worry about any restrictions on using gas or charcoal, and you’ll never run out of fuel. You’ll even be notified on your smartphone when your food is perfectly cooked thanks to the integrated iGrill thermometer. To complete the perfect outdoor dining experience, Stewarts also have a selection of solar powered outdoor lighting, gazebos and picnicware.

Create a stylish outdoor space It’s time to prep the patio, deck or garden for al fresco living. Gabrielle Fagan reveals how to ‘wow’ in the great outdoors. Hang your decor head in shame if you think a patio is just a space to chill and entertain it’s way, way more. Creating a divine deck, top terrace, or punchy patio is vital in today’s style stakes, as this is the backdrop for all those summer Insta-shots. (Cute kids, chic friends and adorable pets are optional extras!) “The summer garden’s a homage to expressing personal style and there’s a move away from ‘matchy-matchy sets’” says Vicky Angell, outdoor living buyer for John Lewis. “With celebrity and ‘influencer’ homes and gardens becoming increasingly accessible through social media, people definitely want a space which impresses. It means the outdoors is becoming more of an investment space and bold statement pieces are on the rise, so it’s ready for those ‘Instagrammable’ moments.” Check out these top trends and buys, to transform your outdoor space into a social media ‘hot spot’ for posting and boasting...

Tell a colour story Make it slimline - bistro tables and chairs are on-trend and have a great minimalist feel, which is perfect for compact spaces. “Colour’s key for summer, and we’ve redesigned our Salsa collection in bold, clashing ombre patterns to make a real style statement in a space,” says Angell. “Adding cushions, lanterns and even a patterned pouffe brings a bohemian feel and will help personalise a garden. “Perfect for small spaces, or creating ‘zones’ within a larger garden, sales of bistro sets were up 32% last year, with bright colour metal sets proving popular.” PATIO TIP: Create a greater sense of space in a compact area with furniture made of light, hand-woven materials or wire, which have an ‘airy’ appearance. Paint a wall white and add an outdoor mirror to reflect the light.

Dine out style Sticking to a colour theme works indoors and out, and grey and white’s an on-trend choice that won’t go out of fashion either. Natural materials, such as wood, will sit in harmony with the great outdoors. Set up a space just for you “Creating a special corner in a garden or patio area, where you can chill and relax, is key,” says Angell. “Huge on social media, shapely, inviting chairs and swings are expected to be popular this summer, with cocoon-shaped designs that work as well indoors as out.

“Hanging chairs are a great choice as additional seating for an outside space. They add a fun twist to a garden, can be enjoyed by the whole family and are really versatile.” Super smart solo seats Spoil yourself with a special seat, where you can enjoy a break on summer days. Accessorise it with a fur throw for cooler evenings, to maximise your time in the garden. Smarten up the space Don’t despair if a full-on revamp is beyond the budget. A dash of flair and a coat of paint could be all that’s needed to breathe new life into a dull space, and transform it into one which is summer-smart and ready for chic entertaining.

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

N E W ASTO N MARTIN CONVERTIBLE Aston Martin’s new DBS Superleggera Volante convertible is the fastest droptop the company has ever produced, powered by a V12 715 hp engine delivering a top speed of 211 mph. DBS Superleggera Volante continues the aerodynamic lines of the coupe model. At the front, the car’s splitter and airdam work in unison, accelerating airflow underneath the front of the car to deliver true downforce and assist cooling by feeding air to the front brakes. The new deeper side strake draws more air from the front wheel arch to reduce lift and aid highspeed stability. Aston Martin’s engineers have worked hard to ensure the best possible roof and rear package is achieved, With a classleading stack height of 260mm for the car’s folded roof, which takes 14 seconds to open and 16 seconds to close. DBS Superleggera Volante is priced at £247,500 in the UK.

R O A D T E S T: V O LV O S 6 0 T 5 R - D E S I G N Volvo has completely changed the public perception of their brand with a range of new models encompassing svelte style and lots of technology and the latest is the just-launched S60. The new S60 is priced from £37,935 and packages a 250 hp 2.0-litre 4-cylinder power unit with signature Volvo styling cues to reveal a smart and sophisticated premium saloon. Built in the United States, the S60 is the first new-model Volvo with no diesel engine option. The test model was the T5 R-Design Edition and it ably demonstrated it was the perfect premium, mile-munching saloon. With a top speed of 145 mph the T5 passes the benchmark 60 mph in just 6.3 seconds. Driving the front wheels through an 8-speed automatic gearbox, with paddle shifts, a large Tesla style portrait touch screen offers most of the controls – including an array of connectivity options - and settings including the different drive modes. The dynamic mode really sharpens up the S60’s responses without loss of ride comfort. The shortest of gaps in traffic offers safe overtaking and on twisting country roads the car’s tight handling capability is demonstrated to great effect.

172

Standard fare across the range includes such items as dual zone climate, Nappa part-leather sports seats, heated front seats, diamond cut wheels, all-round parking sensors, voice activated control system and LED lighting. Options on the test car were a powered glass tilt and slide panoramic sunroof with sun curtain, heated front screen, larger alloys and superb and almost iridescent Fusion Red metallic paintwork. This package adds £2,875 to the standard list price of £37,935. The range at the moment consists of one trim level – R-Design Edition – and just one version, the T5 front drive automatic. Soon to follow will be an all-wheel-drive option, an R-Design Plus entry version and luxurious Inscription Plus trim. In addition to the T5 engine a T8 twinengine plug-in hybrid is planned with prices starting at around £49,000. Volvo has a smart, stylish and very sophisticated saloon in the new S60. It continues their success in transforming the brand from solid, dependable workhorse to a desirable premium motoring brand.

R O A D T E S T: M E R C E D E S BENZ B180 SPORT The Mercedes-Benz B Class is a compact MPV aimed at those seeking spacious accommodation for passengers and their luggage, and its stand-out sales point is the premium image it carries over from the company’s larger more prestigious models, writes NICK FLETCHER. The latest version has sleek subtle styling cues which give the B Class an elegant exterior appearance and inside, the beautiful cabin design is classy and impressive and immediately makes you feel you are driving a car that might cost twice the price. In fact, the entry versions start at £26,980 and are very well equipped to include climate control, LED headlights, cruise control, sat-nav, reversing camera, Bluetooth connectivity, alloy wheels, digital instrument cluster behind the steering wheel and a central infotainment screen.There are also optional upgrade packages to add extra features. Standard safety kit includes forward collision warning and lane-keep assist.

Accommodation in this MPV is spacious for five adults, with excellent head and leg room, and the boot at 455 litres is one of the largest in the class and can be increased to 710 litres as the rear seat can slide forward. And with rear seats folded flat, you get a substantial 1,540 litres. There are petrol and diesel engine options with differing power outputs and my featured model is the entrylevel B180 Sport priced at £26,980 with a punchy four-cylinder 136 hp 1.3 litre petrol unit and standard 7-speed auto gearbox. The 0-60 mph time is 9.0 seconds, top speed 132 mph. Emissions are 125 g/km and average fuel consumption is 47.1 mpg. While the model is labelled Sport, don’t expect the performance on this entry

173

version to be very sporty. However it is perfectly adequate for normal needs and the suspension set-up reflects the targeted family use by putting the emphasis on allround comfort. With light precise steering and a nice overall balance the B Class drives well with excellent cornering composure and its higher driving position provides good all-round visibility. Overall the B Class comes across as an ideal family car, offering space, comfort and practicality. Rivals include the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer and the Volkswagen Golf SV and while both are strong contenders, in my view neither can quite match the level of kudos than comes with the famous Mercedes-Benz three-pointed star.

A spacious five-seater with massive boot capacity and flat-fold seats also give it a high score for day to day practicality and with petrol and diesel engines in the line-up, manual and auto gearboxes and three trim levels, the C5 Aircross ticks all the boxes for those seeking versatile family transport.

This version, with 1.2 litre 129 hp turbopetrol engine and 6-speed manual gearbox, costs ÂŁ27,725 and delivers good performance from a relatively small engine unit. Top speed is 117 mph, the 0-60 mph time is 10.5 seconds and emissions are 119 g/km. Average fuel economy is 41.5 mpg. The C5 Aircross is smooth and easy to drive, with light-touch controls, excellent steering feedback and a slick manual gearshift. Ride comfort is outstanding thanks to special progressive action hydraulic suspension and well-designed seats which give plenty of support. There is excellent

Prices start at ÂŁ23,225 for the well-kitted Feel version though many will opt for the mid range Flair models which add extra features included enhanced connectivity, sat-nav and rear-view camera.

all-round visibility and the dashboard layout with large central screen is very user-friendly. There are three independent rear seats which slide and fold and the boot space can vary from 580 litres to an impressive 1,630 litres offering maximum versatility for passenger and load combinations. Safety features include hill-start assist, reversing sensors, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, auto-dipping headlights, lane-departure warning and a driver-attention alert. The C5 Aircross competes in a hard-fought SUV sector but it has all the credentials to be a winner. It has stand-out styling, excellent driving dynamics and arguably class-leading ride comfort. The Citroen brand has been revitalised in recent years, now has a strong reputation for innovative and creative cars exuding plenty of French cachet.

Dental Implants THE WHAT, THE WHY, THE HOW AND THE OH MY! A question every patient wants to know the answer to is 'what exactly is a dental implant and why do I need one?' It can be a little daunting when your dentist pops your chair back, has a look in your mouth and then announces

An implant doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come loose like a denture can, it acts like a natural tooth root and anchors your new tooth to your jaw. This makes it easier to eat the food you want and laugh as hard as you like without a denture falling down!

"Dear Philip, I am writing to thank you for providing me with an implant which is so perfect in terms of colour match and fit, that I forget which tooth it is. Initially I was fearful about having an implant - but having had a plate with one tooth for many years, I decided to go for it. I am so pleased with the end result and surprised that the consultations and treatment were relatively pain free. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to friends and family. In fact I have already done so. Thank-you so much" Mrs Coleman

SINGLE TOOTH IMPLANT A STEP BY STEP APPROACH

A dental implant can be used to replace a missing tooth. By substituting the root of the missing tooth, it prevents further serious complications that can arise if the missing tooth is left untreated. It usually requires multiple appointments to complete.

First, the nurses prepare the surgery for you and then make sure you are comfortable before beginning. The area in your mouth where you are having the implant is then prepared for placement

Next, the implant body is placed into the bone, along with a special healing cap. The site is given time to heal. Your dentist will monitor the healing process and can provide a temporary tooth to fill the empty space if needed.

When the site is fully healed, the healing cap is removed and replaced with the abutment, which serves as the base of your new tooth.

Finally, the crown is placed over the abutment and cemented into place. Your tooth is restored to optimal shape and function. You should then maintain regular appointments with a skilled hygienist to help you care for your implant.
