Dear Readers,

uddenly warmer weather arrived and just in time for our Fanfare For Spring! This issue’s summery front cover photo is a June view of one of my favourite locations near Ringwood. It’s a photo taken through the undergrowth on the walk from Swanage to Durlston Country Park looking across to Peveril Point and Old Harry. It was originally called ‘Durlston Pleasure Gardens’ in its 1887 Victorian heyday by its owner George Burt. But over the decades the path and open views across the bay have almost become obscured by a canopy of tall shrubs, weeds and trees. We used to bring our children here 25 years ago to the similarly run down cafe and grotty pub at Durlston Castle. They were both a long way from being described as

with best wishes,

pleasure gardens....... until recently after receiving generous Lottery Funding! The Castle has now been beautifully restored with a marvellous cafe and fantastic views across the bay to the Isle of Wight. And now after receiving further Lotter funding over the next three years, the ‘Durlston Pleasure Grounds’ Project will restore and enhance the Victorian landscape inspired by its Victorian owner George Burt’s vision for people to ‘Look round and read great nature’s open book’. So if you want history, nature, the seaside, cliff walks or even steam trains then Swanage has something for everyone! But of course if you want something a bit closer to home then check out our What’s On pages 26 & 28. Let’s hope that summer is here to stay now!

56 and 58 High Street, Ringwood

florist’s, this shop has carried out a trade in electrical goods for almost a century. To the right of this tall three-storey building is 56 High Street, which in Victorian times was the little shop of grocer Robert Frampton and later his son Charles, the father of Harry, Will and George Frampton. When the Framptons built their larger shop next door but one, 56 became a butcher’s. In the 1911 Hampshire Directory this is shown as being owned by Eastman Ltd and in 1939 by the London Central Meat Company Ltd. The shop continued as a butcher’s for many years, becoming Baxters by the time of the 1970s photograph. In the 21st century it has been a card shop and is now a lifestyle clothes shop named Calm Amongst the Chaos, owned by Frances Farmer. Frances first operated out of the old meat store which opened out onto Meeting House Lane but since 2017 she has taken over the whole premises, retaining many original features of the butcher’s shop. c1970

he shop on the corner of the High Street and Meeting House Lane used to be known, unsurprisingly, as Corner House. For many years since 1924 (about the same time as electricity was first produced in Ringwood) this shop was run by Laurence Cashmore, a wireless expert and photographer. An advertisement in Brown’s Directory announced that, as the District Engineer to the Wireless League, he undertook repairs to all makes of radios and re-charged accumulators at modest rates. He was also a well-known photographer who developed and printed Kodak films. In addition to all this he supplied football, tennis, cricket and all sports requirements. By 1953 the shop had become Supersonic Services Ltd, still supplying or renting not only radios but also the new television sets, in time for Ringwood townsfolk to watch the Queen’s Coronation. They also supplied vacuum cleaners, polishers and washing machines. By the time the 1970s photograph was taken by Ted Baker, the shop was called Supertel, later becoming Visionhire, still supplying televisions and other electrical equipment. About twelve years ago the present owner took over, renaming the shop Ringwood Sound & Vision, 58 High Street. This means that, apart from a brief period as a

Budget Friendly Family Fun!

Parenting

Have fun with the kids this summer, without breaking the bank. Kids Pass Kids Pass gives you 40% off cinema tickets and money off a range of restaurants and days out. You can even get discounts on holidays with Haven, Butlins, Eurocamp and other companies. The pass costs around £40 a year, but a month’s trial costs just £1. Think small Check whether your local amateur dramatics society is performing any plays suitable for families. Smaller venues are a lot cheaper than wellknown theatres and young children really won’t care if an actor is an award-winning thespian or Mark from the corner shop. Older kids could even join the drama youth group. Don’t discount larger theatres altogether, however, as some offer discounts during the summer holidays. Children can attend a host of London shows for free during August’s Kids Week, as long as they’re accompanied by a paying adult – see www. officiallondontheatre.com/ kids-week. Party time Clubbing together with other parents can help to keep costs down. Having a kids’ party at a soft-play centre,

theme park, pottery barn or other activity centre often costs less per head than buying the activity and food separately for each child. Use PayPal’s Money Pools to collect the money from everyone. DIY A trip to a pottery workshop usually costs upwards of £10 a child, but if you buy the paints and pots online you can get that down to around £3 or £4 per child. Likewise, a home tie dye kit costs less than £15, which gives you enough dye for around ten children’s T-shirts. Fabric pens are even cheaper (and less messy). Try eBay for kits, T-shirts and other items to dye, such as cotton bags or pillow cases. Bulk buy with other parents to save money. Cheap days out Keep an eye on social media and www.familiesonline.co.uk for cheap days out. Libraries

Keep an eye on social media for cheap days out and councils sometimes organise holiday activities,

such as storytelling and crafts. Country fairs often have lots on for kids and entrance is often free for under-16s as long as they’re accompanied by a paying adult. (Tickets are usually cheaper if they’re bought in advance.) For less than £15 for one adult and four children, you could enjoy a day out with aerobatics displays, ferret racing, motocross displays, puppet shows and more. Just remember to pack a cool bag with a picnic and ice pops, otherwise you’ll spend a small fortune on hotdogs, chips and ice-cream. Cashback Cashback sites such as Quidco and Topcashback give you money back every time you buy something online from one of their retail partners. They also offer discounts. When we checked, Quidco was advertising a fourteen-day Walt Disney pass for the price of seven days, and money off various flights. If you register your credit and debit cards with Quidco, you can also earn money when you shop on the high street, whether you’re buying kids’ clothes or treating the family to lunch out.

Driverless Cars Explained

Motoring

riverless cars are a hot motoring topic, with manufacturers, politicians and transport chiefs all talking about them. But what are they, and what do they mean for the future of motoring? The Government predicts that driverless cars could be in full use on the UK’s roads by 2021. Are they safe? The safety of autonomous vehicles was questioned after a woman was killed while crossing the road in front of a self-driving vehicle in Arizona. The issue is the co-habitation of road users and the driverless vehicles – until people are sure how to interact with them, accidents will still happen. Which manufacturers currently offer some level of autonomous assistance? You’ll find some partial selfdriving technology in cars from Audi, BMW, Citroen, DS, Fiat, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar, Kia, Land Rover, Lexus, Mazda, Mercedes, Nissan, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Seat, Skoda, Subaru, Suzuki, Tesla, Toyota, Vauxhall, Volkswagen and Volvo. Most cars do incorporate the technology, but it can include features such as adaptive cruise control. Levels of autonomy The various levels of

autonomous assistance are categorised from one to five. Here’s what they mean. Level 1 Introduced around 1990s/00s This base level means that just one element of the driving process is taken over by the car – but the driver is still very much in charge. This level of assistance is mature now and was pioneered by early cruise control systems. Level 2 Present day Level 2 autonomy represents pretty much where we are today. Computers can deal with multiple functions, so the car can take control of steering, throttle and brake functions – but the driver must show they’re in charge of the car by putting a hand on the steering wheel. Level 3 Estimated 2020 At level 3 all of the safetycritical functions can be controlled by the car, but the driver must still be able to intervene if necessary – this isn’t completely ‘hands-off’ technology yet. Level 4 Mid 2020s Level 4 sees cars capable of being fully autonomous, albeit in selected areas – most likely inner-city ones. Dedicated lane markings and infrastructure will be required to ensure that the

cars keep on the straight and narrow too. Complex mapping systems will combine with advanced cameras, sensors and artificial intelligence to determine where the car should go. The driver may have to intervene at certain points, but for the most part it’ll mean hands-free driving. Level 5 Late 2020s/early 2030s Level 5 will see the vehicles derestricted – they will be capable of driving anywhere, without the need for a driver. There won’t be a need for a steering wheel or traditional ‘controls’; these vehicles will be fully capable of operating themselves. It’ll free up space inside the cars, so they’ll probably look more like lounges on wheels. That’s what we predict, anyway. Timeline predictions This timeline is based on predictions by many different manufacturers, though most agree that the bulk of progress will happen between 2020 and 2030. It’s a real technology race at the moment – each company is attempting to develop their own systems quicker than the rest. It’s why these dates are estimations – some may get there sooner than others. James Baggott

e are in the middle of summer and the reserve is full of life. The insect world is buzzing, the leaves on the trees are still fresh and our young birds are embarking on their first flights away from the nest. From the water’s edge to the woodland canopy, this year’s young will be fledging and gaining independence. The air will continue to be full of birdsong with many birds singing throughout June as their mates produce a second brood. On the shoreline of Ibsley Water Oystercatcher, Lapwing and Little Ringed Plover chicks will be venturing further from their parents whilst foraging on the shoreline for food. On Ivy Lake the Common Tern chicks will be taking their first leap away from the comfort of their nest, whilst the Great Crested Grebe chicks with their black and white humbug faces are now too big to catch a ride on their parent’s back. Blashford’s insect life is

best viewed on a sunny day, with the meadow and the pond behind the Education Centre both fabulous places to just sit and be still. Red Admiral, Peacock, Comma and Speckled Wood butterflies are all plentiful and in the meadow the summery sound of chirruping crickets and grasshoppers will delight your ears. On Saturday 6th July from 10am until 11.30am you can join the Education Officer to ‘Catch the Bug’ and discover the miniature world of the grasshoppers, crickets, spiders and bugs that inhabit our meadow. Please book by telephoning 01425 472760. The mixture of wetland, woodland and grassland makes the reserve a brilliant place for dragonflies and damselflies, with Brown Hawker, Common Darter, Emperor and Black Tailed Skimmer dragonflies all on the wing along with Common Blue and Azure Blue damselflies. Their life cycle requires wetlands for the start of their life along with open woodland and grassland

Grass snake Martin King

in which to hunt as an adult. We are often asked how to tell dragonflies and damselflies apart: the best way is to wait until they are sitting still or perched on vegetation, as damselflies tend to hold their wings over their bodies whilst dragonflies will rest with them stretched out to the side. Closer to the ground, keep an eye out for Grass snakes basking on the alder logs and stumps outside Ivy South Hide or on the fallen trees on the edge of Ivy Silt Pond. The Blashford Lakes Project is a partnership between Bournemouth Water, New Forest District Council and Wessex Water. The reserve is managed by Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust, a charity that aims to protect local wildlife and inspire people.

Problem Solvers This month, we’re focusing on tried and tested problem solvers to see you through the summer, from frizzﬁghting serums to space-saving multi-taskers.

Beauty

hen luggage space is at a premium, multi-tasking products are a godsend, particularly when they don’t count towards your paltry hand luggage liquid allowance. I’m a big fan of PÜR’s 4 in 1 Pressed Mineral Makeup Foundation (£29). As well as giving great, lightweight coverage and a shine-free finish, it helps to nourish skin with ingredients such as lactic acid and shea butter. It also has an SPF of 15. While that’s not enough for warmer weather, it’s handy for cooler days. Choose from 11 shades at https://purcosmetics.co.uk. Hair looking a bit ‘meh’? Try treating it to Alteya Organics’ Rose Otto Invigorating Shampoo and Conditioner (£14.20 each). They’re formulated to help strengthen hair, reduce frizz and increase shine. You can forget ingredients lists of unpronounceable chemical compounds, these products are packed with natural ingredients such as aloe vera, seabuckthorn extract, hazelnut extract, ylangylang and, of course, roses

grown on Alteya’s farm. (The family-run Bulgarian company has been growing organic roses for over a century.) See www.lovelula.com. If, like me, your hair turns into a frizzy mess at the merest hint of humidity, try Paul Mitchell’s Super Skinny Serum (www. paul-mitchell. co.uk). Apply it after conditioning, while your hair is still wet. It speeds up drying time and helps to lock out moisture, so your hair stays smooth, shiny and frizz-free all day. It works wonders on straight, wavy or curly hair and does its job whether you blow dry your hair or leave it to dry naturally. The full size bottle is £21.95, but you only need a small amount, so the 25ml travel sized version (£6.70) should last for at least a couple of weeks. According to The Sleep Council, 74 percent of people in the UK don’t get enough sleep. If you’re struggling to drop off at night, try Tisserand’s new Sleep Better Bath Salts (£13.95), Bath Oil (£12.95) or Bath & Shower Wash (£11.95). They’re fragranced

with jasmine, sandalwood and lavender essential oils to help promote a feeling of relaxation. While subtle, the scent is lovely and calming. The bath oil is my personal favourite, as it leaves skin feeling softer. (Did I mention that I love a multi-tasker?) Available from Boots and www.tisserand.com. If you’re constantly reapplying hand lotion because your hands feel dry, it may be time to swap to a gentler, more natural handwash. Personally, I have to avoid any with sodium lauryl sulphate, as it makes my hands so dry and cracked they end up bleeding. I tend to use bars of soap instead, but also like vegetable oil-based liquid soaps, such as those by The Castilian Soap Company. They’re available in a range of fragrances, including peppermint, lavender and rose geranium. If your hands are supersensitive, try the fragrancefree option.

In 2017/18 over 11 million people in the UK volunteered at least once a month with the main reason being a desire to improve things and help others. Like many other small charities, Ringwood and Fordingbridge Club for the Blind rely totally on the generosity of the voluntary team to support and run the club.

The Underwater World

hether you’re one minute away from the beach or one hour, for many of us, living so close to the sea is one of the best things about living in Dorset. Already this year, our marine conservation team Furrowed Crab - Julie Hatcher have been finding exciting and unusual things washed up on our beaches at low tide. The ‘furrowed crab’ was a great find with it being the first recording of this species for Kimmeridge. This crab is also a ‘climate change indicator species’ as we’re seeing them Cushion Starfish - spread further north, in line with Julie Hatcher our seas warming up. Other seashore species which have been spreading eastwards into Dorset include the ‘toothed topshells’. These sea snails are common further west but have grown from none at all in the early 2000s to being a common find at Kimmeridge. The small cushion starfish has also become common at Kimmeridge since the first sighting in 2014, and the exotic-looking anemone shrimp that lives within the stinging tentacles of the snakelocks anemone, has also increased in number in recent years. This year on June 8th, World Ocean Day celebrated our oceans by encouraging everyone to get out and explore their nearest coastline. Anemone Shrimp Chris Roberts

For DWT events: www.dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/events For the snorkel trail and the Fine Foundation Wild Seas Centre at Kimmeridge: www.dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/wildseas-centre. The top three things to look for this summer on the coast: 1. Seahorses: There have been an unusual amount of seahorses washed up on beaches this year. This could be a good indicator that Stranded we have a healthy Seahorse population in DorGail Frogpie set. Let us know if you find one! 2. Cushion starfish: In rockpools, the cushion star glides along on its myriad tiny tubefeet, as if sliding on ice. This small relative of star fish feeds by everting part of its stomach through its mouth to digest dead and decaying animals and seaweed. 3. Flat periwinkle: Look for the flat periwinkle in seaweedy pools. They range in colour from sunshine yellow, through burnt orange to chocolate brown and are easy to spot amongst the sea wrack fronds they graze on. The yellow shells are particuFlat larly easy Periwinkle to spot, looking like discarded sweetcorn kernels!

Holiday Reads Books to while away the summer evenings

Book Reviews

The Library of Lost and Found – Phaedra Patrick Librarian Martha Storm finds a book containing a dedication from her grandmother. But the dedication is dated several years after her grandmother supposedly died. The book sets Martha out on a quest that will rock her safe, predictable life and remind her of who she really is. A hugely enjoyable, warm hug of a book.

Internment – Samira Ahmed Set ‘15 minutes into the future’, Internment tells the story of 17-year-old Layla, who is sent to a Muslim-American internment camp in the middle of the Californian desert. Similar to the real JapaneseAmerican internment camps of World War II, this camp is a dangerous place to stand out. Layla’s parents want her to keep her head down and not attract the attention of

the vicious camp director. But Layla is prepared to risk her life for her freedom. A powerful page-turner about the price of turning a blind eye to bigotry.

A Boy and his Dog at the End of the World – C. A. Fletcher Griz is growing up in a postapocalyptic world where mass-infertility has decimated the human population. His community is tiny and life is difficult. When a stranger steals the family’s dog, Griz sets out to get her back, on a journey that will take him from his tiny island on the Outer Hebrides across Scotland and Northern England. Perfect for fans of The Road and Station’s Eleven. Stone Mothers – Erin Kelly Marianne is back in her home village, and desperate to keep a secret hidden that could destroy the life she’s built

over the last 30 years. A secret that ties her to her childhood sweetheart, Jesse, as well as the MP responsible for shutting down the local asylum. This chilling psychological tale is a slowburner but well worth sticking with. The Dollmaker – Nina Allan Andrew and Bramber start writing to each other because of their shared interest in dolls. As their friendship grows, Andrew decides to visit Bramber at the institution she calls home. Andrew and Bramber’s story is interspersed with tales written by another doll-lover, Ewa Chaplin, which Andrew reads on his journey. A beautiful, strange, multi-layered book you’ll want to keep reading long after the sun has gone down. Outlander – Diana Gabaldon If your idea of the perfect holiday is spending several days on a sun lounger with a good book, then the Outlander series could be just what you’re looking for. On a trip to the Scottish Highlands, Claire Randall steps through a circle of stones and finds herself transported from 1946 to 1743, where she’s taken prisoner by Scottish outlaws. The hit TV show is now into its fourth season and the books are even better.

Midsummer Meaning Summer solstice is the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere Photograph Andrew Dunn www.andrewdunnphoto.com

History

he month of Wimbledon and Father’s Day; synonymous with freshly mown grass, the first Pimms and a sudden abundance of flowers,we welcome June as the beginning of summer. In Anglo-Saxon times, June was known as midsummer month or sera monath, meaning ‘dry month’. It also brought with it the big pagan celebration of the summer solstice – the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. It was the Romans who were responsible for giving the sixth month in their Roman and our Gregorian calendar its current name. Jun(e) is believed to be a shortened version of Junius - Latin for ‘sacred to Juno’. Juno was the wife of Jupiter and patron goddess of Rome. She was also the goddess of marriage and childbirth. The blessing she was said to bestow on couples who marry during this month has meant that June weddings remain popular to this day. In early Roman times, June had 29 days, but Emperor

Julius Caesar added an extra day, making it 30 days long. People born in June are said to be ruled by the planet Mercury, representing youth, and come under the zodiac signs of either Gemini (the twins) or Cancer (the crab). Scientific studies have claimed that June babies tend to be physically stronger and suffer less with mental illnesses than those born in any other month. June has three birthstones: the pearl, moonstone and the more obscure alexandrite. The birth flowers for this month are the rose and the honeysuckle. There is a saying in folklore that in June, summer doesn’t begin until the elderflower is in blossom. Apart from the summer solstice, other festivals that take place in June include well-dressing, where natural springs are honoured with elaborate decorations that include intricate mosaic-like pictures made using flowers, grasses, moss, seeds, bark and berries. Well-dressing is particularly popular across Derbyshire.

The many significant historical events that have happened in the month of June include: the signing of the Magna Carta on 15th June 1215; the infamous Battle of Waterloo on 18th June 1815; the Queen’s coronation on 2nd June 1953; and D-Day, on 6th June 1944. The month of June has long fascinated poets, artists and lyricists from Shakespeare to Rogers and Hammerstein. ‘Flaming June’ is a famous painting by Lord Frederick Leighton completed in 1895. Scottish poet Robert Burns also paid homage to the month in the first lines of his well-known poem ‘A Red Red Rose’. And there is no end of romantic ballads out there rhyming ‘June’ with ‘moon’. Believe it or not, June was a popular name for both boys and girls in the first part of the 20th century but over the last 40-50 years it has declined in favour in the UK. However, June has enjoyed a resurgence as a favourite girls’ name in the USA during the past decade. By Catherine Rose

Are you a Unitarian without knowing it?

egardless of today’s widespread secularism, the spiritual outlook and religious experience don’t go away. People still feel awe, gratefulness, wonder, reverence, a conscience-driven demand to help others, something unexplained beyond words.

If you are not helped by the traditional answers about community, compassion, and what life’s all about, perhaps you instead need to find people who keep playing with and celebrating the questions.

The Unitarians. Together in community for our individual journeys of spirituality and faith.
