Welcome H Dear Readers, oorah - the jetstream has finally changed its course.....and it hasn’t rained now for a couple of weeks! The once familiar landscape is still actually there and gradually re-appearing after being submerged for what seems like forever and despite looking a bit bedraggled will no doubt soon return to normality. Of course one bonus of a very mild winter is that, like the many gardeners amongst you no doubt, we haven’t lost any plants in the garden or in any of our pots like we usually do. The downside of course is that the weeds and moss have also burst into life with a vengeance so it’s time to ring your local garden expert now to put them in their rightful place - the compost heap! See page 46 for lots of contacts.
with best wishes,
April / May 2014

ROUNDABOUT
ROUNDABOUT VERWOOD RINGWOOD & FORDINGBRIDGE
PAST and PRESENT
Birch Tree Farm, Crab Orchard, Verwood The Orman family at Birch Tree Farm, Crab Orchard. Mid to late 1800s.
I
n the mid 1800s Market Gardening became a thriving industry locally when many hotels in the growing town of Bournemouth were supplied by farms and smallholdings in the area. One of several in Three Legged Cross was Birch Tree Farm with the produce taken to Bournemouth, or “Barne”as they called it, by horse and cart. Birch Tree Farm was the Orman’s “ancestral home” so far as Verwood was concerned. Joseph Orman, a broom maker born 1789 at Moor Crichel and his wife Keturah born the same year at Hinton Martell had arrived at Crab Orchard by 1810 when their eldest son Stephen was born. They became the ancestors of the others throughout the area and their children married into many local families. Stephen Orman became a broom maker and
farmer and rented Birch Tree Farm from William Fryer in 1847. He married Jean Kail and had eight children including Charles who made his home at Holly Tree Farm on the Ringwood Road and Henry Stephen who continued at Birch Tree Farm. Well into living memory, there were always roadside vegetable stalls in Three Legged Cross where people could choose thier own produce. Now there is an extensive Garden Centre named after its founder John T. Brown and other nurseries such as Holly Hedge and White Veil. A similar view of Birch Tree Farm today is difficult since mature hedging partly obscures the house, but apart from all the thatch roofs being replaced, the main house and even the outbuilding remains very much recognisable as they were in the old photograph.

Chocolate 8
Chocolate and Eggs: Easter Food Superheroes or Arch-villains?
I
t’s Easter, the season of eggs and chocolate. But what’s the latest advice about these foods? Do they harm or heal? EGGS Research and improved understanding means eggs are no longer a nutritional Big Bad Wolf.
Packed with goodness A medium egg is very low in carbohydrates and supplies over 10% of our daily protein needs. Containing just 66 kcals and 4.6g of fat (only one third saturates), it’s a great source of nutrients often scarce in UK diets; around 20% of us are Vitamin D deficient. Eggs provide a third of daily Vitamin D requirements, around half our required Vitamin B12 and selenium, and Vitamin A, Vitamin B2, folate, biotin, iodine and phosphorous. What about cholesterol? And salmonella? Research shows that cholesterol found in eggs and other foods has a negligible effect on our cholesterol levels. Our body makes cholesterol and levels are raised by many factors. Saturated fat was the main suspect until recently, when a fresh look at the evidence cast some doubts. Regarding salmonella, the Food Standards Agency recommends, for now, that vulnerable groups should only eat hard-boiled eggs. However, a massive increase in chicken vaccination has
more than halved infection cases. All eggs with the Lion Mark come from vaccinated chickens and all 150,000 tested during the last two years were salmonella free. CHOCOLATE Chocolate has been accused of causing acne, obesity, high blood pressure, coronary artery disease and diabetes, among others. But it’s not necessarily guilty, and may have beneficial effects. • Acne. There’s no scientific proof that chocolate causes acne; research suggests foods with a high glycaemic load may be guilty. •Obesity & diabetes. Due to high sugar and fat, over-indulgence may show on the scales. However, recent studies show chocolate can lower your insulin resistance (potentially reducing diabetes risk). A study of 1,500 teens showed that those eating 1.5oz of chocolate daily had less body fat and more energy than those eating 0.16oz daily, so some scientists say 1.5 ounces a day may be beneficial (that’s just a square and a half). Experts say diabetics can eat chocolate, but should monitor their total carbohydrate intake. • Cardiovascular health, cholesterol levels and blood pressure. Many studies suggest that cocoa has beneficial effects on cardiovascular health, improving blood pressure, vascular function and blood flow and reducing clot risk.
It may lower cholesterol slightly, but only as part of a low fat diet. • Stroke. A study involving 44,489 people concluded that chocolate eaters were 22% less likely to suffer a stroke and 46% less likely to die from one. • Brain function. Chocolate can help preserve the brain’s blood flow and prevent memory decline in older people, and could be important in diseases like Alzheimer’s. • Mood. Chemicals in chocolate can raise our serotonin levels and affect other receptors in the brain that trigger feelings of wellbeing. • Migraine. While chocolate contains chemicals believed to be migraine triggers, recent data shows that some cocoa compounds may be beneficial in migraine treatment. • Osteoporosis. The bad news: chocolate may contribute to osteoporosis. One study of women aged 70-85 found that daily chocolate consumers had lower bone density and strength. Proper comparisons haven’t been done between white, milk and dark chocolate, but most beneficial effects come from cocoa content. So choose high cocoa content varieties low in sugar and fat, and eat chocolate in moderation as part of a healthy diet.

T he Blashford B Bulletin Bluebells at Dockens Water
Things to look out for in the coming months at the Blashford Lakes Nature Reserve, Ibsley.
O
n a warm sunny day at Blashford Lakes Nature Reserve the air is full of bird song, the buzzing of insect wings and the occasional rustle as a grass snake slithers away from its sunning spot along the edge of the path. Grass snakes can often be seen basking out in their usual spot on the logs in front of Ivy South hide. Blashford Lakes is home to a variety of warblers at this time of year with reed, willow, sedge, gardener and Cetti’s warbler, chiffchaff and blackcap all busy carving out feeding territories with their splendid song. As is usually the case, getting sight of these birds is not so easy as they hide amongst the leaf cover or deep within the reed bed. So we must rely on our ears to alert Blackcap us of their presence! This is a great time of year to learn some of the more common bird songs of our woodland birds and so Reserve Officer Ed Bennett will be leading some bird song for beginners events on early morning walks on Tues 6th and 13th May, please phone to book your place. Tune in to the songs of our woodland birds and learn to recognise some of the more distinctive calls. With a variety of nest boxes dotted around our woodland, keep an eye out for nesting woodland birds coming and going relentlessly to feed their young. The site has a high
number of nesting great spotted woodpeckers so look out for their nesting holes on the trunks of the trees. The nuthatch takes advantage of old woodpecker holes, expertly filling in the entrance with mud to make a much smaller, cosier entrance for their nest. The woodland is coming alive with splashes of colour from the emerging flowers. The tiny purple flowers Dog Violet of the dog violet and ground ivy are starting to spread through the woodland; with patches along the edge of the path between Woodland hide and Ivy South hide. It wont be long before the bluebells open up along the edge of the Dockens Water too. Out on the water see the spectacle of swallows, swifts and martins feeding acrobati-
feeding including redshank, little ringed plover and lapwing. The Woodland Hide is a brilliant spot to look out for bank voles scurrying about under the feeders. On Sat 17th May Education Officer Jim Day will be leading a morning of discovery into the world of small mammals, heading out on a short walk around the reserve to spot tracks and signs and identify and release the small mammals caught overnight in our live traps. Please phone to book your place. The Blashford Lakes Project is a partnership between Sembcorp 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. For information on upcoming events visit our website: www.hiwwt.org.uk or phone: 01425 472760. For up-to-date wildlife information visit our blog: blashfordlakes.wordpress.com. Redshank

Viewed From My W indow A small selection of short stories written by Patricia Oliver from Horton near Wimborne, describing the ups and downs of caring for feral cats over the years with photos by J Santana-Martin.
I
T he Birthday Gift
t was my birthday, nothing special about that, we all have them and I personally think I have had more than I would like, but you cannot turn the clock back, you just have to go with the flow. I had had my ‘Happy Birthday’ call from mother, so I was therefore surprised when the telephone rang again. It was the Vet. I see too much of him, backwards and forwards with the various cats needing treatment or medication and that particular month alone my visits cost in the region of £400. Was there a problem? He had telephoned me knowing that I take great care of the many rescued and feral cats and kittens that find their way to my door and the RSPCA had just brought in a pair of four month old kittens which they could not house, and could not home, as they were extremely feisty and obviously feral. They were on death row and a decision had to be made there and then if they were to be destroyed or not. Could I? Would I take them in and give them a chance? The decision was mine, I was their only hope. What a dilemma, we were at that time caring for fourteen feral cats and kittens and the Vet’s bill and the food bills had strained our pensions to the extreme. Where would we house another two kittens which may take a considerable time and effort to tame if at all, and be a further drain on resources? There comes a time in your life when you have all you need, presents are no longer required or expected so perhaps it was time to give a present on my birthday, rather than receive one. It only took a moment or two... It was their lucky day! I chose the gift of LIFE for my birthday gift
to them and now little Miss Black Beauty (Blackie) and Miss Holly (very prickly and all teeth and claws!) have joined our group. The Vet spayed them both, applied a ‘spot on’ flea treatment and immunized them for me free of charge. The snow came and I could not get to the Vet for a few days to collect them but when I did, I left a trail of my blood on the floor of the Vet surgery. They were not going to come without a fight. Now they have their own home, a warm radiator, comfy bed, their own armchair, all the food they can eat. It will only take a few weeks to tame them, as the second day they were with us, I was already having a cuddle with Blackie and can now stroke her, tickle her and even play with her little feet, although it is under sufferance and she is not purring yet, however Holly is still in hiding mode and very timid. At least she is no longer in a fighting mode, so it all adds up to some measure of progress. Soon, I am sure, we will be the best of friends and I will make sure they really enjoy and make the most of the special ‘Birthday Gift of Life’ I was able to give to them. The full story and many more are in the book “Viewed From My Window” by Patricia Oliver price £10 + £1.75 p&p. For more details, contact Patricia on 01202 826244. All proceeds go towards the Veterinary and Welfare needs of the 16 feral cats currently in her care.

Peugeot Takes Gold Medal
Mike's Motors
By Mike Wattam
I
f you want a small but luxurious car, the choice has never been easy, with many false dawns over the years - remember the Vanden Plas 1300 which although great in 1973 just hasn’t stood the test of time. Many car makers have since said “hey look, this is small but so luxurious it justifies the high price tag”, remember the Golf VR6? But we were never convinced. The smaller German cars still suffer from save-a-cent-itis especially inside and never look the part. Even more so with the far Eastern makers who just don’t understand ‘style’ and imagine ‘luxury’ is hard plastic that lasts. So, along comes Peugeot with the new 308. A walk-round reveals a similar size to the old 308, but with a slightly lower roof. The avant-garde look of the old 308 and the 407 has been ditched for rounded lines cheating the wind and a lot of distinctive styling details to satisfy the onlooker and shout ‘quality’, without being garish. The grille is in my view too understated – gone is the large gaping fish-mouth of recent years and a discreet chromed grille with tiny badging greets you. The result is a car which is very pleasant to the eye, but heads aren’t going to turn. Open the doors into a new world full of modern design and luxury, sweeping dashboard and the new small steering wheel with instruments above, in the perfect line of vision. Nestling in the centre of the beautifully styled dash is a very large screen which controls all the major functions of the car, from air conditioning to cruise control, Sat-nav, radio and a few things you would not
have imagined existed plus the inevitable armrests and cupholders! So inside, this car is a revolution you might otherwise expect to see only in a handcrafted super-car. Although a 4-door, rear space is only on a par with everything else in this class – not a huge amount of knee room for rear passengers sitting behind space-hogs in front! Conversely, the boot is ample and of an easy-loading shape with only a small sill to lift cases over and split-fold seats allow for bigger loads. Technically this car is a Peugeot tour-de-force, along with all the electronic control, a wide range of engines is offered from small and very efficient petrol engines all the way through to powerful diesels meeting the new standard (Euro6) which brings down total exhaust emissions to that of the best petrol engines- again a significant advance and consolidate Peugeot’s diesels as the very best. Slick manuals and auto gearboxes electronically connected to engine management make the most of fuel-saving. Detailed attention to weightsaving, plus a very slippery wind-cheating shape and carefully chosen ‘perfect’ gearing feed directly in less fuel used for the same job. Excellent. On the road? Again, very slick. Nippy but frugal even in basic trim, superb handling
and road-holding are backed up by demon brakes and stability control which should defeat even the most foolhardy motorway maniac. The driving position is highly adjustable, and the instruments are perfectly situated in the line of vision without taking your eyes off the road. Every 308 has DAB radio, mobile phone integration and cruise control as standard, with options to add all kinds of creature comforts such as Nappa leather seats and safety devices such as blind spot warning, dipping mirrors – the list is long. This brings pleasure back into motoring. Would I have one in my garage? Most definitely, but I may well be tempted to wait for the forthcoming ‘sportwagon’ or the rumoured GTi. Or maybe a 308SW GTi if you’re planning that, Mr Peugeot?

When did you last do something impulsive? by Kate McLelland
It sometimes pays to follow your instincts.
Author JK Rowling reportedly decided to write the first Harry Potter novel after an idea for the story occurred to her when she was travelling on a train. She completed the book as a struggling single mum on state benefits, becoming a multimillionaire within five years. Japanese engineer Yusuke Funaki saw a performance by the world-famous circus company Cirque du Soleil and was so inspired that he decided to learn the ropeskipping techniques he had seen in the show. After a few years of practice he abandoned engineering and literally ran away to join the circus. He is still working with Cirque du Soleil as a performer at their Florida base. The link between these two individuals is their willingness to follow an impulse, taking up new activities that – given their backgrounds and relative inexperience in their chosen fields - were far from guaranteed to result in success. It takes a certain kind of courage to risk everything in order to follow a dream, especially when we know it might fail. Most of us, at some stage in our lives, have done things that we have regretted at a later date. Sometimes our spur-of-the-moment choices seem so out of character it’s almost as though someone else has taken over our minds.
A study of the brain shows why we feel this way. While the primitive, emotional part of our brain (found in the limbic system) makes rapid-fire decisions about things we like, dislike, hate, love, fear or want, the intellectual and more logical mind (located in prefrontal cortex) is geared to making deliberate and rational conclusions at a slightly slower pace. Allow your emotional brain to guide your actions and you’re likely to end up doing something impulsive. We tend to associate impulsivity with youth. As they age, people often reject these youthful emotional responses: instead mature people use the knowledge they have acquired, backed up by logic and reason, to cope with new challenges or solve problems. While no-one would doubt the benefits that knowledge and experience can bring, something is perhaps lost in this process. Impulse and risktaking are closely linked with creativity, and there’s a danger that we may ignore creative impulses that have the power to change the course of our lives.
By middleage, many of us have ceased to follow our instincts completely, relying on tried and trusted methods that we have learned in our formative years to see us through. But does sticking with what we know actually inhibit brain development? When individuals settle into routines that are repeated automatically from day to day, the brain activity required for those activities decreases. That means that we tend to carry out familiar actions on autopilot and consequently our minds receive very little stimulation. The good news is that older people can reactivate their brains by undertaking new activities, or by approaching established routines in different ways. Whether you decide to join a choir, take up a musical instrument or volunteer for a local charity, it’s not really about the activity – it’s about rekindling the youthful spark that encouraged you to experiment and try new things. At the very least it will give your brain some exercise, at best it might be the key to a whole new life.

New Park Keeper joins Moors Valley team
A
family trail based on the popular ‘Percy the Park Keeper’ books by Nick Butterworth is set to become the newest addition to Moors Valley Country Park and Forest near Ringwood this year, offering a host of fun outdoor activities. There will even be the chance to follow in Percy’s footsteps by entering an online competition to become a Park Keeper for the day. The engaging stories revolve around the adventures of Percy, a kind-hearted park keeper, and his many animal friends, including a badger, owl, fox, rabbit, hedgehog and lots of mice. They are a firm favourite with children and parents alike, and instantly recognisable from both the books and the Percy the Park Keeper animated television series. Education Ranger Tracy Standish said “We
love the friendly characters in Nick’s wonderful stories and are looking forward to bringing them to life at Moors Valley. We hope this fun family trail will also help show visitors what our Rangers do to look after our Park for both people and wildlife.” The trail card, costing £2 each, will include a range of multiple choice questions and a variety of interesting activities. It is available daily from 5th April until 28th September 2014. The online competition will offer the chance for a family of four to be Park Keepers for the day, in addition to receiving an annual season ticket for Moors Valley and a wheelbarrow full of goodies.

Ringwood’s Fanfare for Spring - Saturday 17th May
Ringwood came alive one May day last year when the town was filled with with music, song, dance, street theatre, jugglers and more. It was such a success that another Fanfare for Spring is planned for this year on Saturday 17th May. In addition to many of last year’s street performers there will be a traditional song and dance group from Normandy, a ukele band, a solo HANG player, and Melafaemons, an exciting roots/folk band with a hint of rock, jazz and reggae. The popular Ringwood and Burley Band will start the festivities and entertainment will be found through-
out the town during the day with a “surprise round every corner”.
Come along and have a fun day, enjoy the music, watch the many and varied street performers and perhaps take part in a little dancing and music-making yourselves. We can promise you that it will be a great day out! For more details contact the event organiser: Roger Bettle, 63 Christchurch Road, Ringwood BH2 1DH. 01425 489350 email: gill@bettles.net

Verwood’s new Youth Band off to a winning start!
O
n Sunday 12th January 2014 history was made as it marked the formation of the brand new Verwood Youth Band, set up as part of Verwood Concert Brass, and only two weeks later it had already won trophies! Although Verwood Concert Brass, now in its 150th year, has a long tradition of nurturing brass players of all ages, it has never had a Youth Band. So the Verwood Youth Band was established to not only give Verwood Concert Brass’ under 19 year old players such an opportunity but also other young players in the area the chance to gain that experience. Mike Dunnings of Verwood Concert Brass and the driving force behind the setting up of the Youth Band said “Although we already had
a core of good young players within Verwood Concert Brass we needed more to make up a whole band. We put the word around that all young players would be welcome to come along but to be honest it was a bit of a leap of faith as to how many would turn up for the first rehearsal. But I needn’t have worried as we ended up with a great bunch of young players. But would they be ready for the first youth band contest in just two weeks?” With a total of only two rehearsals under their belt, on the 25th January the 22 players of VYB headed off to the Trafalgar School in Downton to compete in the Wessex Brass Band Association Youth Contest. On the day, Emma Graves won the soloist trophy and Rowan Powis won the youngest player trophy.

TRAVEL
Paris B
eyond the grand boulevards and iconic monuments, the French capital has a few secret places known only to the Parisians. Who wants to join the crowds on the river Seine when Canal St Martin beckons with an air of countryside? Here, fishermen doze on the banks, boats glide through the locks and ancient bridges and traditional inns mingle their reflections. You can cruise on emerald waters, cycle or walk on the tow path or join the Tai Chi adepts moving in slow motion under the chestnut trees. Just a stone’s throw away, you reach La Villette, a futuristic park where the great Géode cinema sphere complements a Science Museum and Cité de la Musique. All around is a maze of elevated walkways and bright red follies sprouting like toadstools among immaculate lawns. There are curving stone seats with incorporated lights, fountains and jade-coloured pools, a bamboo grove and a 19th century cattle shed turned into a cultural venue. La Villette is only one of many parks in Paris barely visited by the tourists. On a sunny afternoon, families, young lovers and old folk flock to the scenic Buttes de Chaumont,
- off the beaten track
well worth the climb for the views right across the capital to the Sacré-Cœur Basilica. You couldn’t dream of a more restful place with valleys and lawns and weeping willows tumbling down to the waterfall and man-made lake. But what can you do with a viaduct when trains no longer run on it? Paris is not just a glamorous face, it’s creative. Imagine scores of pink brick archways glowing in the light, stretching along a plane tree avenue, each one converted into a glassfronted boutique or workshop, plus a pavement café or two, and you have the elegant ‘Viaduc des Arts’, a treasure trove of painted furniture and restored antiques, old maps, wrought iron, brass, paintings, sculptures, picture frames and period costumes hand-sewn for the stage. But the planners went one step further, creating a hanging garden along the track with water features and lavender hedges and, at times, plunging views over the streets, heading all the way to the Bois de Vincennes. With its boating lake, its wild woodlands and floral gardens, Vincennes is the perfect escape. Here, the Parisians play pétanque, sunbathe
in lush meadows or ramble through the forest, picking blackberries or looking out for squirrels and birds. The rural atmosphere of Vincennes is no secret but here and there in the capital are other villagelike areas. Look out for the tree-lined rue de Mouzaia where bright façades recall the southern sun even on a winter day and villas with tiny rose gardens climb up the cobbled alleyways. Or make your way to the Belleville market, awash with exotic fruit, spices and herbs, Norwegian salmon, octopus, watches and T-shirts. The hill top reveals a lovely panorama over the city, framed by one of the last Parisian vineyards. Looking for culture? Try one of the unusual museums, romantic life, textiles, magic, or the house of Victor Hugo, author of Les Misérables, on Place des Vosges, then relax in the Luxembourg Gardens where men play chess in the shade and toddlers sail their boats on the ornamental pond. Flower beds bursting with colours meander along the paths while on the river bank, the Eiffel Tower looks down on the scene and a few Parisian secrets just off the beaten track. by Solange Hando

Wolvercroft World Of Plants celebrates 25 years Henry Fookes invites you to “Come into our garden!”
H
enry always enjoyed gardening with his father and while at school he naturally started his early gardening career on the family farm at Milton Abbas, near Blandford. Some years later in 1989 after looking for a small business to develop in Dorset, Henry with his wife Kate and their two young sons aged seven and five finally found Wolvercroft Nursery and Garden Centre up for sale. It was ideal for their growing family so they all moved to Alderholt and are still there twenty five years later.
Wolvercroft 25 years ago in 1989
Will, Kate, Henry and Brian Fookes Henry’s favourite of the items that Wolvercroft sells is the wildflower seeds. He is very passionate about protecting the country’s wildflowers, bees, butterflies and songbirds and not only does he sell the seeds but also uses them in the garden areas to encourage beneficial insects. Wolvercroft considers itself a “hidden gem” since a small wooded area conceals the garden centre from view and most new customers are surprised at the size of Wolvercroft and the range of stock they have .
Wolvercroft Garden Centre improvements over the years. 1989 - Began business. 1994 - Tea room first opened. 1995 - Undercover area opened. 1997 - 1st shop extension under glass. 1999 - Tea room extended. 2000 - New compost are added. 2003 - Car Park extended. 2nd shop extension for tills added. 4 further acres purchased. 2007 - Tea room kitchen extension added. 2010 - Camp site opened. Over 60’s discount card. 2011 - Larger undercover extension added. 2012 - Customer Reward card introduced
Wolvercroft Camp site opened 2010
Wolvercroft today in 2014 Henry says that Wolvercroft’s USP (Unique Selling Point) is the attention to detail that many garden centres overlook. Watering, for instance is still done by hand and is reliant not just on irrigation; this means that on a daily basis all plants are checked for quality. What gives him the most pleasure in his business is seeing what he and his wife, with the help of their team of staff, have built up over the last 25 years. The Wolvercroft philosophy is that the success of the business lies in offering wonderful, quality plants and products alongside friendly advice from knowledgeable people.

Portrait of a Dorset Artist London is the place where most artists want to show their work and for one Dorset artist this has become reality.
OLIVER CHIMNEY SWEEP
Carolyne Moran from Corfe Mullen has submitted paintings 26 times to The Bankside Gallery in the capital and has won two awards there. Each year she also shows her work with the New English Art Club at The Mall Galleries, London as well as at the Royal Institute for painters in Watercolour. “When I began exhibiting in London I was approached by galleries and publishers,” she says. “As a result I now have works in numerous art books and am also in Who’s Who in Art.” Carolyne draws much inspiration from Dorset especially Portland where she paints most weeks, staying there for a few days and working solidly in her friend’s studio overlooking the sea. “If the weather is good I might work in her garden, which also overlooks the sea,” she says. “I am so inspired by the view every time I go. Wherever I am I want to paint and draw – I recently returned from rural Turkey. Having painted there it was so hard to leave because there were months of paintings to be made there.” Her desire to draw and paint started at a young age. While at boarding school she recalls how she used to get out her sketchpad and draw “when everyone else was asleep”. Completing her foundation course at Bournemouth she went on to graduate with a fine art degree from Exeter where she won an award for her work. “After that I studied for my PGCE at Cardiff University,” says Carolyne who became Head of Art at an independent school in Bournemouth. At her home in Corfe Mullen, Carolyne works from her studio from where she teaches twice a week. It is open by appointment and she also welcomes commissions. www.carolynemoran.com Carolyne is opening her studio at 27 Blandford Road, Corfe Mullen, Wimborne, Dorset BH21 3HD.
