Dear Readers,
hese days I find the seasons tend to change in the blink of an eye after the previous one has dragged on forever. You can almost pin-point when it changes. This year the cool, windy and wet spring seemed to be with us until Friday 15th July to be precise! Almost as if a switch has been thrown! We were out cycling in the Forest during the afternoon and needed windproof jackets even then as it was still cool under the trees. But by the end of the afternoon the air had definitely warmed up - and that was the start of the temperatures rising to around 33 deg by the following Tuesday. Fortunately as I write we are now back to normal mid twenties but plenty of sunshine and no rain for the foresee-
with best wishes,
able future. Just in time for the school holidays which begin tomorrow! An almost audible sigh of relief from all you mums no doubt? Our ‘What’s On’ pages 26 & 28 will give you loads of ideas for places to go with your tribe and if you do manage to get a few minutes to yourself, then we have a few holiday reads reviewed on page 10. Some possibly indispensible holiday gadgets can be found on page 36 including waterproof headphones - to go with your waterproof phones no doubt. But why you would be listening to music or making phone calls underwater is beyond me! And don’t forget to look in here first or use our ‘Local Business Directory’ on page 46 when you want to get one of those longstanding jobs done!

ROUNDABOUT
ROUNDABOUT VERWOOD RINGWOOD & FORDINGBRIDGE
PAST and PRESENT “The Tin Church” All Saints Church, Three Legged Cross.
R
everend Claude Brown, the first Verwood Vicar arrived in 1887. He built All Saints Church, the daughter church of Verwood’s St. Michael and All Angels Parish Church in 1893, to serve the inhabitants at the southern end of the parish in Three Legged Cross. It was an iron Mission Church known as the “Tin Church” and was opened on February 13th. The photo right shows quite clearly that it was built from timber and corrugated iron.
I
n 1957 an architect who had recently come to live in Three Legged Cross suggested that All Saints should be clad in stone. This brought an enthusiastic response with donations being speedily forthcoming. The metal was clad in stone and faced inside with wood. Whilst it undoubtedly improved its visual appearance, after nearly forty years it gave rise to structural concerns. The building was demolished in 1994. The photo left shows the church with its pristine cladding in place so must be dated just after it was installed in1957.
Post 1957
A
The “Tin Church” Early 1900’s
fter the original building was demolished in 1994 a new complex of church, meeting room and priests house was built in its place. The photo right shows the building in its present form and from a similar location but after 123 years the surroundings have inevitably changed somewhat.

Verwood Choral Society
he Verwood Choral Society held a summer concert on 4th June when music being sung was on the theme of ‘Love’. The proceeds from the concert were donated to the Parkinson’s UK Ferndown Support Group and a £565.00 cheque was presented to representatives of the group. Every concert (usually 2 per year) mainly raise money for local charities and many thousands of pounds have been raised since the choir was formed in 1988 by the musical director Ann Mayo. The next concert of Christmas music on 4th De-
cember is at the Methodist Church, Verwood. New members especially tenors are always welcome. There are no auditions just a love of singing. The choir meets every Monday evening in term-time from 7.30 - 9pm at the Parish Church of St Michaels and All Angels in Verwood.

Holiday Reads For many of us, the best thing about a holiday is the opportunity to get lost in a book, without feeling guilty about unread emails, dirty dishes or the other 1001 daily chores that rudely interrupt our reading. If you’re looking for a novel to get lost in, we have plenty to recommend.
Magruder’s Curiosity Cabinet – H.P. Wood In 1904, the tavern beneath Magruder’s Curiosity Cabinet has become a haven for the many ‘unusuals’ who call Coney Island their home. There’s Rosalind, who’s as likely to wear a suit as a dress, Zeph, who lost both his legs in a childhood accident, eight year old P-Ray, who never speaks and collects fleas, and any other number of characters. After finding herself alone and penniless, Kitty Hayward finds solace at Magruder’s, but her peace may well be short-lived. Anarchy is in the air, and the plague is sweeping through the streets. These characters will stay with you long after your holiday is over. The Last of Us – Rob Ewing On a remote Scottish island, a pandemic has killed most of the population. There are no adults left. Just five children, trying to survive on the tinned food they find in neighbouring houses. There’s Rona, the narrator, along with little Alex and their leader, Elizabeth, who makes sure they brush their teeth and carry on with their school lessons. And then there’s Calum Ian
and Duncan, who are starting to resent Elizabeth’s authority. A beautiful, heart-wrenching story. Dear Amy – Helen Callaghan When a newspaper agony aunt receives a letter claiming to be from a kidnapped girl, she assumes at first it’s a hoax. After all, Bethany Avery has been missing for years. But then more letters arrive, seemingly with information only the girl could know. Throw into the mix another recent abduction, and you have an enjoyable psychological thriller with plenty of twists and turns, a great storyline and appealing characters. Woman on the Edge of Time – Marge Piercy It’s been four decades since the release of this classic feminist dystopian novel, yet the writing still feels just as original and relevant. Wife and mother Connie Ramos has been branded as mentally unstable and now lives alone, ostracised by most of society. She starts escaping to a future, happier time – where equality is accepted as the norm. But Connie is also shown an alternative future, where women are little more than commodities. Which one becomes reality may be down to Connie herself. If you’ve never read it, or worse, were made to analyse it for an English Literature class, now is the time to pick up the 40th anniversary edition.
Fishbowl – Bradley Somer All of life’s highs and lows are played out in one apartment block by its many inhabitants. There’s ‘the Villain Connor Radley’, ‘the Evil Seductress Faye’, ‘Stoic Jimenez’ and agoraphobic ‘Clare the Shutin’, amongst others. And then there’s Ian – a humble goldfish, who’s about to take a plunge from the twentyseventh floor. In the four seconds it takes him to fall, he’ll discover more about the apartment’s inhabitants than perhaps they even know about themselves. Insightful, original and entertaining. Hitman Anders and the Meaning of It All – Jonas Jonasson After three stints in prison for murder, Hitman Anders decides to go straight. Well, less crooked anyway. An unlikely alliance between the hitman, a lapsed priest and a hotel receptionist see the trio embark on a trek across Sweden, lying, cheating and swindling as they go. A great novel to escape into for fans of dark humour, it’s possibly best suited to villa holidays, or other locations where holidaymakers won’t get annoyed at your snorts of laughter.

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.
S
Sooty Part 2: Seeing Double & Triple!
ooty, the new black cat we eventually managed to catch after being concerned for the appearance of his coat and his weight loss, had his castration which was paid for by the RSPCA. I expected to have a large bill for either dental treatment, antibiotics or blood tests to determine the cause of his weight loss and when the Vet gave him a clean bill of health with nothing further to pay - I was surprised. I took him home and placed him in the large cage we have for the purpose. I was still concerned for his skin condition and decided to give him a good shampoo and try and clean him up a bit. This was a feral cat and I was uncertain as to his reaction to such treatment, but he was as good as gold and did not even flinch. I then gave him a flea and worm treatment, a good brush, a stroke and a cuddle and held him in my arms. He loved every minute of it and certainly did not complain, instead he was purring. We kept him for a few days in the big cage and gave him lots of attention, but then decided he was fit and well, washed and brushed, de-flea’d and wormed, there was really no reason to keep him caged any longer and we let him go. At first we kept an eye on him through the security camera, then he started to come regularly to the back door and even into the kitchen for food and would eat 41/2 packets of food at any one time. He was now very friendly and decided to move into the house with some of the other cats. He is so much at home, playing with toys like a kitten and teasing the other cats. We no longer have to call him in, he is no longer feral, just a house cat that goes out from time to time on a hunting trip or just to walk around. Now I have another lap cat. Tammy used to sit on my lap, but was ousted by Henry, but he has now been ousted
by my three legged friend Billy, although he is so big he just leans his head on my lap. But then Chloe wants to sit on my lap and when Jason decides to come in, he thinks he can sit on my lap as well. It is a good thing there is just room for two and a half felines, although Chloe often has to sit across my chest and on to my shoulder, but now Sooty wants his turn. It all gets a bit crowded and those that are pushed further away I still have to reach over and stroke! Occasionally someone gets cross and lashed out and everyone moves off in a flurry, but not for long and it all starts again. When we managed to isolate Sooty into the barn to try and catch him I noticed another black cat in the car park and at first I thought Sooty had escaped, but I have now seen all three of them, Blackie, Sooty and this new feral cat, who may of course be related to Sooty. I decide to call this new cat Jazz, don’t ask me why, it was just a name that came to me. Jazz is larger than Sooty, a lovely shiny coat, definitely a male and also very timid. He looks well and is well fed, so we shall leave him in peace to come and go as he pleases keeping an eye on him through the ‘spy-cam’. We do see him sometimes in the greenhouse, but he is still very timid and runs and hides behind a large pot housing a tree. The full story and many more are in the book “Viewed From My Window” by Patricia Oliver price £15.00 + £2.50 p&p. For more details, contact Patricia on 01202 826244. Any proceeds go towards the Veterinary and Welfare needs of the 16 feral cats currently in her care.

What Price for Brand Snobbery?
Mike's Motors
By Mike Wattam
W
hat makes a ‘premium’ small car? A question many car makers are asking themselves as pressure grows for swingeing reductions in exhaust emissions over an impossibly tight time-scale. Gee, this will save the whole world all on its own! Thinking premium, German badges such as Mercedes, BMW and Audi are at the forefront of our minds for some obscure reason, but can they actually hack it? Here is the Audi A1 - a car which won the European car of the year award a few years ago. In this case, a 3-door with diesel 1.6 engine coupled to a 6 speed manual gearbox. Yes, it does have a newer and cleaner iteration of the engine which led Volkswagen into a huge emissions test cheating scandal! On paper it certainly sounds like the right formula for driving enjoyment and ecoenlightenment. In the metal the car seems bigger than it is, with a somewhat intimidating front grille for the rear view mirrors you are following. The paint finish is excellent, as is the panel fit - while the unadventurous styling doesn’t give a particularly balanced look. Open a door and a slight leather smell is noticed, then nicely detailed facia, instruments and driving controls
- a good first impression. Start it up and a strong diesel clatter ensues, subsiding somewhat as it gets hot. However at all times it continued to hammer home that it is just a Volkswagen in rented Versace clobber, Cinderella. I was very surprised to find the hatch would only swallow one medium suitcase, madam’s overnight bag and my trusty laptop - any more involved removing the rear parcel shelf and exposing all to view. Not impressed. Front seat adjustment was through a wide range initially, although I spent most of my driving time in this car continually adjusting the drivers’ seat in a fruitless search for comfort. Access to the rear in this 3-door version is abysmal and then with small seats hardly well packaged, the five-door version giving only slightly easier access. I also kept banging my head on the heavily-sloped ‘A’ post as I got in and out and mused that Mini, Peugeot 208, Vauxhall Adam and even Kia Rio are very much more acceptable both in the boot and
Audi A1 interior
for passengers, yet multiple thousands cheaper. Hardly a tour-de-force, clearly Volkswagen have missed a trick here. To drive, the picture is better. The lusty - although coarse - engine is very capable, the gear-change light and precise, and accurately placing the car on the road is a breeze. All this is rather spoilt by the poor driving position, an annoyingly un-resolved lumpy ride and a multiplicity of controls which are both confusingly situated, and difficult to understand. As the driver becomes more familiar with the car, these traits should be less noticeable. In short, the typical Audi DNA is evident - a well-specified and nicely finished car that remains under-developed, poorly packaged and uninvolving. This car may well suit a nonenthusiast seeking a commuting car and who loves ‘brand snobbery’. I’d suggest forgetting the noisy diesel and adopt the more modern and still economical small petrol turbo ‘three’. Finally, my car decided to play up by randomly resetting itself to metric French, then giving dire warnings about ‘No Oil!’. A call to Audi Assistance proved fruitless and at this point with the assistance of a passing Frenchman we managed to reset the computer and find some oil for the almost empty sump. In short, not on my driveway, thank you!

To Dye Or Not To Dye? by Kate McLelland
I
young fashion icons such as Rihanna and Zayn Malik are now sporting faux grey styles as part of a growing fashion trend.
grey is the neW black If you are female, you may feel under greater pressure to keep up a youthful appearance. While women are often described as being ‘brave’ for going grey, men of the same age are given the flattering label of ‘silver fox’. But this situation may be about to change, as hip,
Why more of us are refusing to dye It’s ironic that as young celebrities and their fans adopt grey hair as a fashion statement, an increasing number of older people are choosing not to use hair colourants. While there is no single cause for this trend, there are several reasons why the number of cheerleaders for being ‘grey and proud’ may be on the rise. Is hair dye harmful? Scare stories about the dangers posed by certain chemicals have continued to surface, despite a major re-think by manufacturers in the 1980s, when research revealed that substances used in hair dye at that time caused cancer in mice. Although no concrete evidence has yet been found to suggest that hair dyes are unsafe for regular personal use, the jury is still out on the risks faced by today’s consumers. Even that tiny seed of doubt may be enough to persuade some people to stop using colourants.
t’s a dilemma faced by most people of ‘a certain age’: let your hair go grey, or reach for the dye bottle?
Why We go grey Our natural hair colour comes from a pigment known as melanin, produced by the hair follicles. As we age the follicles produce less melanin and this means our hair effectively loses its colour. The average person will spot their first grey hair in their 30s and most people will have noticeable grey strands by their 40s. By the age of fifty, fifty per cent of people will have gone grey. The thickness of hair also alters as you age because the size of your hair follicles shrinks, producing smaller hairs. In the same way the oil glands in the human scalp shrink with age, resulting in brittleness and dryness.
We can’t turn back the clock As we age, our skin colour alters, picking up more yellow tones. This means that the hair shade we had in our younger days may not blend with our current skin tone. Combine this with the effects of chemical overload on aging hair and it’s no wonder that many of us decide it’s better to let nature take its course. Role models lead the way These days we’re surrounded by high profile figures sporting grey hairstyles – think of male celebritiess such as Gary Lineker, José Mourinho and George Clooney and female high rollers like Anna Wintour, Meryl Streep and Christine Lagarde. Nowadays we are all living longer, in better health, and it may simply be that the trend towards accepting grey hair shows we are more relaxed about the aging process, living life to the full instead of hiding away. To quote celebrity hairstylist and founder of Twitter’s @ thegreyglammovement, Cynthia Alvarez: “Grey is the new black. The colour has taken on an entirely new life and meaning – today grey is beautiful, sexy, chic, fabulous!”

..providing the answers
to your legal questions
I am selling my property and the Buyer’s Solicitor has asked for a FENSA Certificate. What is a FENSA Certificate and am I required to produce this? FENSA stands for the Fenestration Self-Assessment scheme and ensures all installers and buyers of replacement windows and doors comply with improved energy efficiency requirements. All window and door installations are subject to approval by the Local Authority Building control Department prior to undertaking an installation, unless arrangements have been made for self-certification by the installer by registering with a Competent Persons Scheme such as FENSA. Where windows or doors are completely replaced as opposed to repaired, in existing dwellings, they must comply with the new Building Control requirements.
FENSA registration does not apply to conservatories, porches, commercial premises or new build properties or extensions.
In these instances you are required to go through the Local Authority Building Control process to obtain a Building Approval Certificate.
If you live in a flat then planning permission may be required before replacing your windows and therefore it is advisable to check with your Local Planning Authority and your Landlord before commencing any work. If planning permission is required a FENSA registered company can register the installation for certification purposes. If you live in a property which is classified as a Listed Building and wish to replace windows or doors this would fall under the jurisdiction of the relevant Local Planning Authority and in this case cannot be registered with FENSA. For more information about FENSA registration please contact a member of our Conveyancing team.

The Great Verwood Schools Bake Off!
ear 4 and 5 children from all of the Verwood schools got the cooking bug recently. A competition to bake and decorate cupcakes was the reason why. Heats were held in each school and their top 3 entrants went forward to the Grand Final hosted by Emmanuel Middle School. They were judged by the Town’s Mayor, Mrs Sandra Groves, and the Headteachers from each school. The judges were amazed by the standard of the children’s baking and decorating skills. Amelia, from Emmanuel, was crowned the overall winner of the Great Verwood Bake Off, winning a cupcake Recipe Book as her prize.

Hillside Survival Day
ear 2 pupils at Hillside recently took part in a “Survival Day” in their school grounds. They were supported by local scout leaders and experienced a range of activities including shelter building, archery, using flint and steel to start a fire and filtering water. They were also able to have a session tracking animals and identifying plants on the heath behind the school. They had lunch in their shelters and ate marshmallows cooked over a fire. Later, one of the children wrote; “It was an amazing day, I loved it because it was real life.” Staff at Hillside would like to thank the scout leaders and other adults who generously gave their time to help make the day run so smoothly.

The Life List Unwritten Rules Adult life is complicated. School may have taught us about quadratic equations, Pythagoras, and coping with a broken heart, but there are areas of expertise where we are still in the dark. How long does one keep the box for an electrical appliance or an electronic device? I’m running out of attic space. What’s the optimum number of toys for a pet dog? How many does it really need and is there one I can accidentally stand on without injury? At what age should a man start wearing patterned socks in an unironic way? (I’ve
203981
finally accepted the no ‘socks with sandals’ ruling.) When is the best time to develop an interest in historical TV dramas? Does it usually coincide with the desire to make up a cheeseboard? How old is too old for expecting or receiving Easter eggs? How long should one wait after Christmas before putting unwanted gifts on eBay or donating them to a charity shop 20 miles away? What are the social repercussions of unfriending someone on social media, who you also know in the real world, due to their constant stream of upbeat platitudes? How does one tackle a neighbour’s cat that persists in seeing your prize flowerbeds as a latrine? Are there any guidelines for flatulence in enclosed spaces - a lift, a canal boat, a small car, a pod on the London Eye, etc.? How does one respond to work collections for people you barely know, or who you know too well to want to contribute? By Derek Thompson www.alongthewritelines.blogspot.co.uk

Far From The Madding Crowds Gadgets for going off the beaten track
F
or many people, late summer is the perfect time to go off the beaten track and explore, whether that’s by hiking, cycling or a combination of the two. And with the right gadgets you can be sure that you’ll love to go a-wandering, no matter where you’re headed. If you like to listen to music, podcasts or ebooks when you’re roaming, or if you just fancy some music while you swim in a lake, waterproof headphones are a great idea: sets such as the X-1 Surge Mini (£35) are 100% waterproof to a X-1 Surge Mini depth of 12 feet, but don’t forget to headphones buy a waterproof case for your iPod or phone: you can pick up a universal waterproof case for less than £10, although make sure you check the specs carefully: water resistant and waterproof are very different things, and the former is only designed to protect your device against accidents, not deliberately going underwater. If you’d rather drink water than swim in it, a refillable water bottle is a great investment. £14 gets you the leak-proof,
Memobottle A5 water bottle
durable Kleen Kanteen, while the £6 Snugpak is designed to be clipped to your backpack. If you’re on a city trip with a messenger bag, the Memobottle (around £22) is shaped like a book rather than a bottle so it won’t make your bag all bulky. And of course, don’t forget the humble Thermos (from around £8), which is as good at keeping soup warm as it is at keeping water cool - a useful skill given the vagaries of the British weather. If you have fond memories of the Swiss Army Knife you might be interested to see its latest incarnation, the Victorinox Expedition Kit. At £135 it’s a lot of money for a knife, but then it’s a lot
Victorinox Expedition Kit of knife for the money: not only does it have the usual blades and screwdrivers but it also includes a digital clock, a barometer, a compass, an altimeter and a thermometer. And of course you never know when you might need to get a stone out of a horse’s hoof. If you’d rather take even more technology
with you, the Earl Backcountry Survival Tablet ($299, around £205) will start shipping in the second half of 2016 after smashing its fundraising target on Kickstarter. It’s an Android-based, ruggedised tablet with GPS, weather sensors and radio communication to ensure that you always know where you are and what’s coming, and that you’re never out of contact with the outside world. It’s a bit of an overkill for a walk round a park, but for more serious expeditions it could be a very valuable travelling companion. The use of an E-Ink screen and a built-in solar panel means it should last for ages too, although unfortunately E-Ink’s slower updating does rule out a game of Angry Birds after the day’s travelling is over. If it’s even half as good as the Kickstarter campaign promises it could be really clever. Fancy a tent that’s as techy as a tablet? The Heimplanet Cave inflates like an airbed, weighs just 5 kg and looks like it came from a spaceship. At £480 it’s a little on the expensive side, but the structure is punctureproof and it’s actually quite affordable by inflatable tent standards. Heimplanet Cave Tent

Portrait of a Local Artist A father’s skill as an artist inspired his son to follow in his footsteps.
“It’s simple as that,” says Andrew Halliday from Lymington, who often visits the coast near Christchurch and is particularly fond of Highcliffe Castle. “I hope to visit soon to create a new body of work including the grand and romantic Victorian building that resides there.” Andrew had always had a fascination for painting and drawing - the home was full of his dad’s pictures, some abstract, others allegorical and mythological. “Dad’s talent drew me in, and I found that the school art department, which was basically a collection of pencils and paper, was just not good enough for me. The decision to follow art seemed natural to me and I wasn’t good at anything else anyway.” Andrew first studied seriously at Bourneville School of Art where he was taught to draw properly by teacher and artist Terrence Clarke. “My BA degree had woeful support to prepare me, or indeed others on the course, for life as a pro,” reveals Andrew. “This has been a lifelong process and I’m still learning!” A highlight of Andrew’s early career was being invited to study at Amsterdam’s prestigious Rijksakademie, a premier school that has great international respect. There he mixed with many professional artists from all over the world and enjoyed living in a beautiful and richly historical city. “My present painting focuses on architecture and how we interact with it. Ten years ago I was greatly influenced by the Edward Hopper retrospective at Tate Modern and my goals in painting became clearer, more focused. Hopper was fascinated with the inner worlds of the people who inhabited the lobbies, squares and avenues of his cityscapes. I like to look instead outward, at how the physical world can illustrate the thoughts within us. I currently have work on show at the Riverside Gallery in Barnes, a part of London in which I used to live and work.” www.andrewhallidayfineart.co.uk
