Hello again I'm not surprised, but I am disappointed by the recent demise of stores like Comet and HMV which is blamed on shoppers choosing to buy white goods and music online (or not buy at all but download for free – illegally). These stories hit our newspapers and TV channels but little is reported on the independent retailers that are also suffering similar fates such as the hardware store, Holt’s in Water Lane. The advantages of the internet are known but independent retailers deserve to be supported. In many cases their products are better value but you just don’t know that until you shop there, not to mention the personal service. But I believe retailers could do more to help themselves with innovative promotional ideas, creative window displays, e-marketing and in some cases modernisation. Discover Totton is all about connecting the local community to local businesses and services and retail is very much part of that. So we are planning an new feature for inclusion in the magazine. Directory of Independent Retailers In your next issue you’ll see a new directory of shops in and around Southampton and local high streets. If you are a retailer, please contact me for details and look out for details in the post or by email. Or better still visit www.discover magazines.co.uk and apply online to be included. Please support your local businesses. You’ll be sorry when they’ve gone.

DISCOVER HAMPSHIRE WAlkS Historical note... Timsbury derives its name from ‘timber + byrig’ meaning timber fort or manor. Similarly, Michelmersh derives its name from ‘micel + mersc’ meaning a large marsh. St Mary’s church at Michelmersh is of 12th century origin. It is alleged that Henry V rested his troops in Agincourt Field, situated just below the church, before their embarkation to France as part of the Hundred Years War. These troops it is said were fielded at the famous battle of Agincourt in 1415.
Timsbury & Michelmersh Walk distance 3.9 miles A downloadable pdf of the walk and enlarged map is available online at www.discovercommunity.co.uk Timsbury is situated on the A3057 Romsey to Stockbridge road a few miles north of Romsey. Park in Jubilee Hall car park at Timsbury which is sign posted from the A3057. Alternatively, park in the small lay-by just past the hall on the right hand side of the road. The Jubilee Hall should not be confused with the village hall in Heron Lane shown on the OS 131 map. Leave the car park and turn right along the road. Turn right onto a signed footpath and walk along the gravel track. At a fork in the track, keep right and walk past Hunts Farm. Emerge onto a road and turn right. Walk past the farm where the road is joined by another road from the right. Keep straight on for approximately 50 yards then climb the bank on your right onto a footpath running parallel to the road. The footpath descends to the road again adjacent to a pair of metal gates either side of the road. Continue straight on along the road. As the road turns sharp right, cross over a stile onto a signed footpath leading into a field. Continue straight ahead following the fence line and ignoring any crossing tracks. As the track bears left into a field, continue straight ahead onto a signed footpath through a woodland fringe with a field to your left initially then a field on your right. Cross a stile into a field walking along the right hand boundary on top of a ridge. The path drops down off the ridge to a stile. Cross the stile into a copse.
16
Emerge from the copse into a field. Walk along the left hand fence line. Cross a stile at the field boundary, turn left and cross a second stile to follow the right hand fence line of a field. The track goes straight on initially and then starts to veer left away from the fence. As the farm track starts to turn away left, look for a stile slightly diagonally right in the far hedge line. It is situated some 100 yards from the right hand corner of the field.
Cross the stile onto a gravel track, then cross two further stile directly opposite to emerge into a field. The original footpath here has been ploughed out, so follow the left hand field boundary to the field edge then turn right keeping the fence to your left. At a ‘T’ junction of paths, turn left onto a signed footpath across the centre of the field. Cross a stile into another field and follow the left hand fence line to the opposite side of the field. Cross a stile onto a gravel track and turn left. Follow the track to its junction with a tarmac road. Turn right to Manor Farm.
Walk through the farm going straight on along a gravel track as it rises slightly uphill. At a pair of private dwellings, the track turns sharp right. Continue straight on into what appears to be the entrance drive to the left hand bungalow. As you reach the gates, cross a stile on the right hand side to walk between the two properties. Cross yet another stile into a field. Walk across the field to a signpost located in the field centre. Ignore the path bearing left from this post, continue straight on to the field boundary. Cross a stile into a copse. Follow the path through the woodland and emerge into Agincourt Field. Follow the right hand fence line and go through a kissing gate into Mottisfont church graveyard. Cross the graveyard to a pair of wooden gates. Go through the gates and turn left away from the church. Go through another kissing gate and follow the path across the field to its far boundary. Follow the path through copse and emerge onto a grass and gravel track with gardens to your right. Follow the track to a kissing gate beside a metal gate. Pass through the gate to emerge onto a road. Turn right onto the road. At a ‘T’ junction, turn left and then right. Follow the road back to your car.

When should I get my pet neutered?
The question of when to neuter is also commonly discussed at the veterinary surgery and the answer is normally at a young age. In cats we like to carry out the procedure around 6 months of age to stop unwanted litters. In dogs there can be some variation in mAny of us currently own pets and a opinion, although in lot of our pets have been neutered. the general we would question of why we do this is often asked recommend that the by owners of pets and can be explained standard age is by the following; around six months, this For females there is no chance of may vary with unwanted pregnancies, as well as no breed and individual patient needs and would need discussing seasons, which can cause mess and with the vet prior to unwanted male dog attention! The booking the procedure. from now until the enD of mArCH female is also less likely to suffer with mammary cancer and infections of the uterus if neutered early in life. In males there are also many benefits to neutering. For example, by removing the testosterone influence on behaviour, we are reducing problems such as aggression and wandering. Neutering will also stop any chance of testicular cancer as well as reduce the problems of prostrate disease and other related cancers.
Some animals can put on a bit of weight after neutering but this is easily controlled with a suitable diet – it is just a matter of adjusting your animals’ calorific intake accordingly.
we are offering uP to 20% off neutering
unicorn Vets would be happy to make you an appointment for your pet in order to discuss any questions you may have about neutering or the procedures involved. there’s never been a better time to do it.

DISCOvER HERITAGE
Air Raid Shelter Alert Do you have something of historical interest in your rear garden ? Totton Councillor, David Harrison, is asking everyone in the town to notify him of the presence of any remaining World War II Air Raid Shelters. The concrete structures were quite a familiar feature, to be found in many rear gardens back in the 1950's and 60's. However, over the years, most have been demolished. Councillor Harrison wants a record kept of any remaining ones with a view to preserving at least some of them for future generations to see.
A now demolished WWII shelter photographed in Totton
He says “During the war, my Father slept overnight in one of these shelters. On emerging the next morning, he found that his home had been completely demolished by a German bomb. All he had left was blankets and the clothes he was wearing. The remaining shelters left today are increasingly important as part of our heritage.” Contact Councillor Harrison by telephone number 02380 864500, e-mail : dharrison100@aol.com or Facebook Page ‘Councillor David Harrison’.
