We spoke with Nick Baines who is the manager of Badger & Bumble which was refurbished in October 2010, “The reaction we have received from local people is great as they have been the ones voting for us, both online and in store. I think our main selling point is the great selection of produce and the in-depth of knowledge all of our staff have about the products.”

The award, organised by Olives Et Al, has a number of stages and involves the judges visiting each of the deli’s, with the winning deli being announced in September at the awards ceremony. We wish Nick and his team the best of luck and make sure you pop in store to find out how they progress in the coming months. You can vote online at www.delioftheyear.co.uk The Results Are In...

Westbourne in Bloom Westbourne beautiful

Each year Westbourne is transformed with a beautiful selection of flowers located in planters along the high street.

For the past few weeks a dedicated team have been preparing the green metal stands to be planted at the beginning of June. We spoke to Maureen Rouse who is co-ordinating the planting and asked her how it all came about, “Edna Lipscombe and I started the ‘Westbourne in Bloom’ group in 1992, as we are members of the Bournemouth in Bloom Committee and with 5 other ladies we form a voluntary group. It involves a lot of fundraising as the whole project costs around £7,000 each summer and is supported by a number of local traders too via sponsorship.”

There are several hundred flowers used in the displays which Maureen told us more about, “We’re very glad to have Plowmans Nurseries on board who plant four liners to each pedestal, with a total of thirty flower pedestals, eight barrier baskets (opposite M & S) with extra large hanging baskets at the Westbourne Library and three containers at Barclays Bank. Kings Park Nursery water all the flower features, at least twice a week early morning.”

99 999 999 99 99 99 99 99 99

For 2011 there will be a range of flowers used in each of the planters, hanging baskets and displays around Westbourne including Surfinias, Begonias, Mediterranean Geraniums and Busy Lizzies. “We want to keep the arrangements colourful and practical so that they will last for the summer months”, explained Maureen.

In recent years Westbourne has won a Silver Award in the South/South East Coastal Resorts Competition and Silver Gilt Award in the same competition. Plus, a Silver award from the national Britain in Bloom competition.

“Unfortunately we do not have the manpower to enter more competitions, but we would welcome any help from local people as it’s great to showcase Westbourne at these events.”

We all Scream for Ice Cream

at Pâtisserie AngÊlique

As warmer weather greets us, it’s a great time to sit back and relax with a couple of scoops of New Forest Ice Cream.

Toby and Philippe at Pâtisserie AngÊlique have been using New Forest Ice Cream since they opened 15 years ago, what is new is that you can now buy it in a cone to take away. They still serve it in "coups" (bowls in english) to enjoy on their sun terrace or in their cafe. "It's good to be able to offer a really great tasting locally made ice cream and New Forest's dairy range have great flavour and go down well with our regulars" explains Toby.

Come and try the classic Chocolate, Strawberry, Vanilla Pod, Blackcurrant Sorbet, Mint & Choc Chip Ripple, Coconut flavours or maybe the Coffee Moka Swirl takes your fancy? However if ice cream isn’t for you, there’s always the Lavazza coffee, superb freshly made pâtisserie selection and hot food choice, only at Pâtisserie AngÊlique this summer.

Mighty Meridians

explained by Ann Runyard

I have been having an intense love affair with the concept of Chinese Meridians since completing a very interesting course on Mind Body Bowen. I now feel my technique is more finely tuned, which has been most exciting.

Meridians are positive and negative energy pathways or streams, which communicate with almost every part of the body. This energy shares many similarities with the earth’s core and exhibit maximum organ energy time. For example: The Heart meridian’s peak is between 11am to 1pm and the Stomach between 7am to 9am.

This subtle energy, discovered by the Chinese some 5,000 years ago, is invisible and cannot be felt or found within the senses. How freaky and fascinating is that?

These meridians connect deeply on both sides of the body acting like a mirror, rather like an intricate map of the body’s energy system.

They are deeply affected by Bowen therapy, bringing awareness to specific areas where energy blocks have occurred.

Once a certain meridian has been identified as low in energy, specific procedures can be applied which will be directed to that particular pathway, unblocking trapped stagnating energy. This is what I call tailor-made Bowen and it works a treat!

Bowen is a non-invasive therapy that works at deep cellular level and balances the body’s electromagnetic system. It is a deeply relaxing and an amazing stress buster.

Southcoast Property newest letting agents

A welcoming sight to the Grand Cinema parade is Southcoast Property (Dorset and Hampshire) Limited, owned and run by Father and Son Philip & Kieran Piper.

Officially opened on 11th April 2011, Kieran gave us an insight into the opening of this truly unique office and his thoughts on how the lettings industry should operate. “We look to offer a comfortable relaxed environment, personal approach and still provide a complete, professional service. This all started with the design of the office using well established local companies to assist us in establishing what has been described by many as a fabulous office. Many thanks go to our interior designers Di Lusso of Canford Cliffs who helped create the visual impact of the office and Broadview Blinds who equally worked to our high standards and created a truly striking shop frontage and internal bespoke window display”.

Further to this he added “Too many agents offer an average service and adopt the opinion of it’s only lettings! As members of the Association of Residential Lettings Agents (A.R.L.A) and the Property Ombudsmen we work to the highest standards set in an unfortunately unlicensed industry where so many people can call themselves Lettings Agents. With my experience in setting up and developing other successful letting departments and the 30 years within property and business that my father has, local knowledge and genuine care for people and their properties this was undoubtedly the perfect opportunity to provide the service that people deserve”.

When asked what drew them to Westbourne, Philip responded, “It is a great central location for all areas and a wonderful bustling feel to the town centre”.

Bournecoast in Top 10

for second consecutive month

Dorset property agents Bournecoast have been ranked in the top ten locally on Rightmove, for the second consecutive month. For the period January to the beginning of February they were ranked 9th out of 55 and last month saw that increase to 7th position.

Simon Tebbutt, Business Development Manager said, “The general perception of estate agents isn’t that positive, but at Bournecoast we are passionate about the service we provide to both landlords and tenants and this latest information from Rightmove just goes to prove our ethical working ethos reaps rewards. If you spend time with people to fully understand their needs, aspirations and fears they will begin to trust your professional judgement and advice.”

Bournecoast’s lettings department have also excelled and started off the year with a record number of tenancies. So if you’re thinking about letting out your property or purchasing one in the area visit Bournecoast.

Sad Loss for Westbourne to The Quay

The Quay, a popular face on Westbourne high street is set to close. Owners Joe and Judy Cross have run the fashion outlet for over 5 years. We spoke to Judy who said, “As most of my customers know, I have not been well for over a year now. It is with regret that I have decided to close, as I cannot manage to run the shop any longer. I would like to thank all of my loyal customers for their support over the past five years. I will really miss you all.”

The Quay has been offering the latest female fashions from well known brands such as Sandwich, Jackpot, Jocavi and others since its formation and it is a shame to lose such a well respected business from Westbourne.

We would like to wish both Joe and Judy all the best for the future and invite our readers to make the most of the reductions on summer stock before the store closes.

“Smart casual fashion in the heart of Westbourne”

Don’t miss out on great reductions on summer stock!

Senior care... in a place you would love to live?

There aren’t many places where you can experience expert senior care and assistance - and you would be proud to call it “home”.

We know of about 27 such places (& the number is growing): Award-winning residences that are beautiful inside and out; active, sociable and vibrant places; with caring compassionate staff on hand to provide assistance as required; places so different from expectations that they are described as revolutionary.

You don’t have to take our word for it, however. All you have to do is pay Sunrise Senior Living a visit and experience this new, uplifting senior care option for yourself.

Contact us today for more information or to arrange a visit. We’ll make sure you’ll immediately feel at home.
