Dear Bournemouth residents, How are you? Are you managing to get out and about again after a few months indoors? How very odd these times are. Daichi, The Dashing Dude, our beloved campervan took us out this month and we had a great trip around the Isle of Purbeck! It was a fantastic day and you can read all about it inside. It certainly is good to be able to travel and have some family fun. We do hope you have been able to do the same. Since many of us have had summer holidays abroad cancelled, are you (like us), looking at the house and garden to see what needs mending, improving or changing? Here in your local Modern Magazine, there are lots of local trades and services to help with all of that. Why not give them a ring to see how they can help you? The advertisers would love to hear from you and don’t forget to mention us. Sixteen years on and I still love to hear that you are backing up our local trades and services. It is very appreciated and a win win situation all round! Our community thrives on helping each other. Especially in these times. If there are any trades you need and cannot find here please let me know. I may be able to help you. We do hope things keep improving. We have done a fabulous job, I believe, in keeping as many people as well as possible. It has been team work on a huge scale! If we concentrate on the positive, we will get even more positive results. Stay alert, keep cleaning and we will get through. Have a great month of August!
Debbie, Stephen, Hayden & Daichi

QUIRKY
BY MICA BALE
Although a socially distant summer might well prove to be an interesting chapter in the history of British seaside towns and coastal resorts, there is still plenty to enjoy in Dorset. Whether you are keen for a safe visit to one of the county’s many beauty spots or prefer delving into the county’s fascinating treasure trove of history, here are five more interesting facts from the beautiful county of Dorset.
As well as being renowned as one of Dorset’s most beautiful gems, Kimmeridge Bay, situated on the Isle of Purbeck, is packed with millennia of geological history and even today continues to delight visitors as one of the favourite spots in the
1
county for water sports such as surfing and also the perhaps more pastoral pastime of rockpooling. However, a perhaps lesser known fact from this beautiful area is that just a pebble’s throw away is the oldest working oil pump in Britain!
Did you know?
Eighty-five years ago, the world’s shortest funicular railway was built in Bournemouth? The Fisherman's Walk Cliff Lift is recognised by the Guiness Book of World Records in 2015 for its unusual travel time, taking only a brief few moments to reach the top of the cliff. It is one of three such funicular railways which climb the Bournemouth cliffs, although the Fisherman’s Walk is surely the most interesting and popular, attracting millions of happy travellers since its opening eighty-five years ago.
2
The local icon of the three chalk formations that are better known as Old Harry Rocks are hailed for their importance and enjoy protected status. However they also serve to preserve the story of Harry Paye who is perhaps memorialized by these glorious natural structures in the sea. Locals will be well familiar with the story of smuggler and pirate Harry Paye whose ruthlessness caused even the Spanish and French fleets to fear the local of Dorset. Interestingly however, before the devastating effects of erosion took hold, the three chalk rocks were more numerous and until 1896, even Old Harry’s Wife was commemorated with a chalk structure of her own. Each year, a regular event is held in June to celebrate the local pirate however it has been postponed to later in the year.
3
Gin ‘O’ Clock!
Were you aware that Dorset has its very own gin? The award winning Conker Spirit company is also the first gin distillery in the county and makes a variety of different drinks including the dry gin that Dorset lends its name to. Described as similar to the traditional London dry gin, the Dorset Dry Gin is a combination of botanicals including some foraged from around the county and also New Forest Spring Water.
4
Ever heard about the World Nettle Eating Championship? If not, then perhaps it would come as a surprise that it is the 16th century pub, the Bottle Inn, situated in Marshwood which hosts the annual championship! According to the history of the competition, the unusual championship was born after two local farmers argued about whose field grew bigger stinging nettles and it was decided that whoever had the longer stinging nettle, the other farmer would eat it. Competitors travel from all over the world to participate in the World Nettle Eating Championship, right in the heart of Dorset.

Cloudy2Clear Announce Trusted Trader Partnership Consumer champions Which? have now joined the thousands of customers who recognise that Cloudy2Clear Windows really are a business that you can TRUST.

But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps. Whilst a number of tradespeople perhaps don’t focus on customer care as much as they should do, we make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. Locally Cloudy2Clear service the Bournemouth area
and manager Justin Friel agrees that this approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated as both my customers and, obviously a body as nationally important as Which? now recognise.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Justin a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

Talking about Wildlife...
Reptiles: soaking up the sun in Dorset Like humans, rep�les love basking in the sun at this �me of year. In Dorset we are lucky to have lowland heathland habitat to support all six Bri�sh na�ve rep�le species. Rep�les are truly magnificent creatures, but they need a very specific habitat to thrive in and can be very sensi�ve to changes in their environment, which is why all rep�le species are legally protected. You also need a license to handle and monitor them. As rep�les are ectothermic (cold-blooded), they bask in the sun to warm up, and hide away in the shade to cool down again. During the colder months they hibernate, but in the summer months, rep�les will be enjoying the sunshine and feas�ng on the delights the heath has to offer, with lizards preying on spiders and insects and snakes favouring small mammals. As with lots of wildlife species in Dorset, their survival and success is largely due to having well-managed habitat to thrive in. Dorset Wildlife Trust’s Great Heath team work hard on our heaths to ensure there is sandy soil, low vegeta�on and not too many trees, to create a dry and warm habitat for rep�les. Sand Lizard

If you’re out on the heath this summer, please admire rep�les from a distance, and do not li� metal �ns (used for surveying purposes) to see them. Fires can be devasta�ng to a rep�le popula�on on heathland so please report any suspicious behaviour on heathland to Dorset Police on 101. In the event of a fire phone 999.

Welcome back to all our clients both existing... and future! The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the urgent need for everyone to have Power of Attorneys in place. For the many who have either contracted the virus or had to isolate for a prolonged period, having registered Power of Attorneys would have helped them immensely in the management of their affairs during this time. So
What is a Lasting Power of Attorney? A Power of Attorney is a legal document by which an individual gives another person(s) authority to make certain decisions on his or her behalf. You are not giving away any of your money or property to anyone else – your Attorney is just authorised to deal with those assets for you when you wish them to, or when you are unable to. A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) continues in effect even if the person giving the power becomes mentally incapable of dealing with their affairs. A lasting power of attorney is not to do with what happens when you die. Nor does it prevent you from continuing to make decisions and dealing with your own affairs for so long as you are capable. Your Attorney(s) can only ever act in your best interests.
There are two types of Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA):
1. “Property and Affairs” which allows your Attorney the power to deal with your property and finances. 2. “Health and Welfare” which allows your Attorney to make welfare and healthcare decisions on your behalf, but only when you lack the mental capacity to make those decisions yourself. Indeed, the pandemic has also highlighted the very real need for everyone to have a current Will, irrespective of their financial standing or age. Now is the time: to learn the lessons from this pandemic. Now is the time: to put appropriate protection in place. Now is the time: to give yourself the peace of mind in knowing your affairs are in order. The good news is, this is not as complicated or expensive as it sounds. Dorset and Wight are your local trusted provider of affordable Lasting Power of Attorneys and professionally drafted Wills. You have undoubtedly heard of us Now is the time: to call us.

Oceanarium Bournemouth Re-opens! The Oceanarium Bournemouth, has finally been able to re-open on Monday 6th July after 15 weeks of closure. During this time, staff has been working hard behind the scenes to ensure the premises is safe to welcome back visitors without compromising the experience. A few changes have been made to the offer to allow social distancing; however all the Oceanarium’s collection of aquatic animals can still be viewed and enjoyed including Penguins. Sharks and Turtles. UK Director James Eels said: “Our team has worked very hard to ensure we could reopen, in a safe and secure manor. I am extremely happy that we were able to open our doors again on Monday the 6th July, and welcome back our visitors and members. The day was a great success with positive feedback from the visitors joining us on opening day!” “The great thing about a visit to the Oceanarium is that visitors can enjoy a touch free visit without losing any of the experience and as such we believe our aquarium is one of the safest indoor attractions to visit in these unique times.” “We have reduced our capacity and staggered arrival time slots to ensure all visitor’s and staff can practise social distancing and therefore introduced a new booking system to facilitate this. We would like to thank visitors for co-operating with us, whilst we all get used to the new way of working”. To guarantee entry, visitors are advised to purchase tickets online, along with booking a dedicated arrival time slot. If a visitor hasn’t booked tickets, they are more than welcome to join the queue, and can enter if there is still availability. If not, they will be
asked to return at a later time. Visitors will need to follow the new oneway route in place, adhere to the social distancing markers at all times, and make use of the hand sanitizing stations provided. Visitors bringing pushchairs, will need to keep them on their person as the push chair park is currently closed. All cleaning regimes have been significantly enhanced. Toilets are open but with limited capacity and are manned by attendants. Unfortunately, the kids play area remains closed, and all animal experiences have been suspended for the time being. The Offshore Café has re-opened with a limited capacity and offering eat in and takeaway. The aquarium has an onsite Visitor Services Team that will be able to help with queries and questions. Full details of all the Oceanarium reopening measures can be found at: www.oceanarium.co.uk/covid19information-for-visitors Discounted tickets are available online with prices from: Adult £11.50, Child £8.50, Senior £10.50, Student £10.50, Disabled Adult £10.50, Accompanying Carer £10.50, Disabled Child £7.75, Family of 3 £26.00, Family of 4 £28.75, Family of 5 £33.50, Family of 6 £38.50.

Netley Court celebrates Top 20 Care Home in the South East Award
For the third consecutive year, Netley Court, a luxury care home in Southampton which is part of the Cinnamon Care Collection, has been recognised in the Carehome.co.uk Awards 2020 as a Top 20 most recommended care home in the South East – a particularly impressive achievement given there are over 2,945 care homes in the region. The awards are organised by Carehome.co.uk – the Trip Advisor of the care home industry – and are based on reviews by residents, their families and friends. Care homes were rated against a range of criteria including facilities, care and support, residents being treated with dignity, staff, activities and value for money. Netley Court scored an impressive 9.9/10. In addition, Cinnamon Care Collection, which runs 13 care homes across the Midlands and South East of England, was named a Top 20 Mid-Sized Care Home Group. Mark Shockledge, Senior General Manager at Netley Court commented, “It is a huge achievement to have won a Carehome.co.uk Award for the South East region based on reviews from residents’ families and friends. This award follows on from our recent ‘Outstanding’ CQC inspection and is yet another great external endorsement of the exceptional care and support that we pride ourselves on providing to every resident at Netley Court. “There is no doubt that, like all care homes nationwide, we have faced very challenging times recently. As part of the Cinnamon Care Collection, we have benefited from the Group’s strong leadership which resulted in us putting in place safety procedures and barrier nursing at an early stage and having sufficient PPE throughout. We now have a comprehensive testing process in place, and recent resident test results have all been negative. The safety of our residents is our number one priority; working in partnership with the Group’s leadership team
ensures that standards at Netley Court continually remain exceptionally high.” Amanda Hopkins, Reviews Manager, carehome. co.uk said, “Choosing a care home can be time consuming and daunting so we hope our awards, which are given to the highest rated homes will help make the search easier. We would like to congratulate Netley Court on being a Top 20 care home in the South East. It is such a big achievement to be named a top rated care home by the residents receiving the care as well as their family and friends. “Our awards, which also celebrate the excellent care given by care home groups, show that the Cinnamon Care collection provides high quality care throughout its homes. Care home groups which ensure every one of their care homes have the same high standards and values, with compassion, kindness and dignity at the heart of their care, are making a profound difference to residents’ lives.” Based on Victoria Road in Netley, with commanding views over Southampton Water, Netley Court provides residential care, day care, respite care and specialist dementia care. As a result of COVID-19, Netley Court currently has a rigorous process for new admissions for residential and respite care. For further information or to arrange a visit, please call Kathryn Duffell, Home Admissions Adviser on 02380 450320 or visit www.cinnamoncc.com

Step Up For 2,500-Mile Charity Challenge Wessex Cancer Trust is inviting supporters to step up for its 2,500-mile challenge - by walking the distance between its support centres 20 times - at Walk for Hope 2020. The cancer charity’s flagship fundraising event, which was due to be held in the New Forest in June, returns in a different format this year because of the coronavirus pandemic. On Sunday 6 September, walkers will come together virtually to clock up the target mileage as a team by completing 20 laps of a route which links the charity’s four support centres in Hampshire, Dorset and the Isle of Wight. You can do your bit by signing up to walk five, ten or 20 miles, and you can do it on your own or with friends and family, at your own pace and wherever you choose. Charlotte von Sicard, Wessex Cancer Trust’s regional community manager, said: “Many of our Walk for Hope participants have or have had cancer, so although social distancing measures are easing, we know it’s still a really anxious time for some people and we didn’t feel it would be responsible to plan for a large gathering. Even though our walkers can’t be together physically this year, we’re still all in this together, so Walk for Hope is the perfect way to unite and work as a team to cover 2,500 miles! Last year 300 people took part and together they raised £50,000 which has made a huge difference to the lives of local people. Please help us to complete 20 laps
around our support centres and make 2020 the biggest and best Walk for Hope yet!” King of the Jungle and Wessex Cancer Trust’s patron, Harry Redknapp, said: “It’s been a tough few months for everyone, but cancer doesn’t stop and throughout the pandemic Wessex Cancer Trust has kept its services going for anyone who needs it. This is despite not being able to raise money by holding outdoor events. Walk for Hope is normally its biggest fundraiser so it would be fantastic to see as many people as possible out walking in their local areas. Let’s raise as much money as we can for people who really need it.” You can register at www.walkforhope.co.uk and set up your fundraising page. You can also link your Strava or FitBit to it. There’s also a fundraising leaderboard to help you monitor your progress and compete with friends and family. Registration is £10 with a fundraising goal of £100 per person. Entrants receive an official Walk for Hope t-shirt, a fundraising pack, a training and event guide, and membership to a Facebook group where they can meet other participants and share fundraising and training tips. Wessex Cancer Trust uses all of the money raised to provide practical and emotional support to anyone living with cancer in Hampshire, Dorset and the Isle of Wight. The event is being sponsored by Irwin Mitchell Solicitors.

The Adventures of Daichi
The Dorset Directories Camper Van As a family we have always loved “Treasure Trails, the fun way to explore”. Looking on their website www.treasuretrails.co.uk Daichi found an ideal one, as he could literally join in the fun too. This trail was a drive / walk expedition to recover a father and son who had gone missing while exploring some of the old ball clay mines! Of course, that was fictional, but don’t tell Daichi as he really thought he was being a detective for the day. It was perfect - 20 miles searching for clues around our wonderful Isle of Purbeck. Daichi was up early, roaring his engine, picnic packed and coats at the ready just in case. It was windy but bright. Let’s get those clues and save the day! Now, did you know that the name ‘ball clay’ came about as the clay was extracted by hand and during the transportation the large cube corners become rounded. There are many Ball Clay Mines on the Isle of Purbeck.

Daichi admires the church at Knowlton Our first destination, hiding our first clue, was in the picturesque village of Church Knowlton. Tiny, with an idyllic thatched cottage and a Church that instantly throws you back to bygone days of village life and farming. There is something about that lifestyle, hard graft, but long and flowing dresses worn on a Sunday for Church with children running around mischievously, that I find rather appealing. Daichi was dazzled with the beauty and serenity. We found clues in the Church graveyard and as I also have a rather odd fascination with reading very old gravestones, this was right up my street. Or should I say headstone? Daichi’s engine shuddered as we moved to our next clue which was at the entrance to the Margaret Green Animal Rescue Centre. What an incredible village. Treasure Trails is a process of elimination. This one had 21 clues with 21 locations the father and son could be. Stephen, myself and Hayden like to have a game between us, where we guess at the start what the answer is. There is a prize if one of us gets it right! It all adds to the anticipation, as we eliminate the clues one by one.

27 This was a trail, not only of clue finding, but also of discovery and learning. We discovered the memorial of The Creech Barrow Seven, who were seven local men ready to defend their country in the second World War. We learned that Ian Fleming, author of the James Bond books went to Durnford School in this area and that he was allegedly inspired by a real-life spy, John Bond, an ancestor to the Bond family who lived at Creech Grange House on our route. The family’s motto, inscribed in Latin on a wall there, is “The world is not enough” which of course is the title to James Bond’s 21st movie. The picturesque estate was sold for around £3.5 million a couple of years ago. Nice. We drove passed Tyneham, the lost village, which is a whole story in itself and one for another day. Passed the Springfield Hotel and into the car park of East Holme Farm Shop. Of course, we had to buy some healthy food after ticking off a few more clues, before setting off again. We stopped for lunch overlooking the gorgeous rolling hills. Terrific views and Daichi was so pleased to give us shelter from the wind, so that we could eat, thoroughly enjoy the space and relax in comfort. Oh, this is the campervan life. On to Stoborough where they were several good clues to find. Then up to Stoborough
Enjoying family time in the wind!
Cruise ship in Bournemouth Bay Heath National Nature Reserve. Just Beautiful. Magnificent in fact. We went on to discover the Engine Shed, now a listed building which housed the engines of the old Tramway. By chance the owner arrived and we had a chat! The lanes, the countryside, the views here on the Isle of Purbeck really are stunning. What a beautiful county Dorset is. The journey ended at Norden Park and Ride. Norden is such an iconic station and so well preserved. We did not see any trains other than those engines stationed on the tracks, but all that searching, history discovery, picnic and photography meant we had arrived after 6pm on a Sunday. One clue here was tricky to find. It is possible the data had been removed, but by now, with only a few clues left we did an intelligent process of elimination and are pretty sure we knew where Ben and his boy were! Phew I say. None of us had guessed it right at the beginning, but hey, it was a wonderful day. We were all winners. Daichi was in his element and so were we. We ended our expedition overlooking the incredible green hills flowing into the sea at Poole and Bournemouth. Cruise Liners bobbing on the horizon. Just gorgeous. Where will Daichi take us next?

Specialist Nurse conquers Everest at home for hospice charity An End of Life Nurse Specialist at Forest Holme Hospice in Poole has raised over £2,200 for the charity by climbing the equivalent of Mount Everest as she recovered from emergency back surgery. Vanessa Barents hurt her back out of blue over nine weeks ago and was taken to hospital for emergency surgery. She decided to use her recovery to raise some money for the hospice by walking up and down her stairs at home, until she reached the 17,475 steps needed to equal a climb to the summit of the world’s highest mountain. Vanessa, said, “I suffered a slipped disc in my lower back, which caused Cauda Equina Syndrome that affected my lower half really badly. I had emergency surgery to fix the problem, and as part of my rehab, I decided to raise money for Forest Holme Hospice, a charity very dear to my heart. Not only do I have the privilege of working for them, but I also see first-hand the amazing work that is done there. During the coronavirus outbreak, most of the charity’s fundraising has stopped, so I thought why not combine my rehab with raising money for the hospice.” Forest Holme Hospice provides end of life care and support to more than 1,000 local people each year with advanced cancer and other life-limiting illnesses across Poole, Wimborne and Isle of Purbeck. Each year the Charity needs to raise at
least £850,000 to help enhance the NHS provision at the hospice and ensure that Forest Holme is there for patients and their family and friends during the most difficult time of their lives. However, this year due to the coronavirus pandemic the charity has forecast a loss of at least £350,000. Vanessa is currently up to 90% of her target on her Just Giving page and hopes now that she has completed her challenge and returned to work, she can encourage a few others to donate via https://www.justgiving. com/fundraising/vanessa-barents She added, “Any support would be amazing. The team at the hospice do such an amazing job with supporting palliative and end of life care, and need some extra support at the moment. I’m very pleased to have finished my fundraising event and thanks everyone for all of the support. The fundraiser is still open, and it would be amazing if I could reach my target.”

Tastes so good... MINI PIZZAS
With these Mini Pizzas you really have the chance to make them your own. Cover them with tomato and cheese and then pick from any number of topping choices: Pineapple and ham, pepperoni or even chicken and sweetcorn. Alternatively create your own unique toppings.
Ingredients 450g strong white bread flour 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil 7g sachet fast-action yeast 350ml warm water 2 tsp. salt
Equipment: Large bowl Oven: 240C, Gas Mark 9, 220C Method: In a large bowl, mix together the yeast, flour and 2 teaspoons of salt. Once this is all mixed together, create a well in the middle. In a separate jug, mix together the oil and the water and then pour into the bowl. Then, work the liquid into the flour mix to create the dough. Leave the bowl to one side for 15 minutes. Create a well-floured surface and put flour on your hands then begin to knead the dough. Do this for about 2 minutes until it is soft and even. Put the dough back in the bowl and cover it with oiled cling film. Leave it once again to one side (preferably in a warm place). When the dough has risen to double its size, heat the oven and place a baking sheet on a high shelf. Then dust another sheet with flour before splitting the dough into 8. Roll 3 balls thinly into circles and put them on the floured sheet. Use a thin layer of sauce on top with some seasoning and cheese of your choice. Bake for 12 minutes until golden then add fresh toppings of your choice and use the rest of the dough to create more!
