Dear Bournemouth residents, Stephen, myself, Julie, Mel, Heather, Chris and Jannike would like to wish you a good Festive Season. At the time of this writing we are still on the second Lockdown and though it has been nowhere near as restricted as the first one, we do not know for sure how Christmas will be for us all. By the time you receive your magazine we will have that answer, I hope. Our very loyal and reliable advertisers are so grateful for all your support this last year. Let’s face it, it has been a challenge for all of us. Our local trades and services have needed your calls and bookings like never before. You have delivered, and many, many of the companies inside these pages are in fact very happy to tell you they are busy and want to thank you sincerely for this. In return to say, ‘Thank You’, our centre pages contain our Christmas Sponsors this year with proceeds going to Julia’s House Hospice. This is such a worthy cause we are delighted to support them. Please continue to call our advertisers here and do say “Hello” from us! We are here to help. Right from my first magazine which I started all the way back in 2005, pushing Hayden around in his pram, my purpose was to bring good, local businesses to your doorstep as well as give you some local data to be able to back up your local community. As soon as more events start happening again, we will be able to shout all about it! So, 2021 is just around the corner. Whatever you do this Christmas we wholeheartedly wish you all the Very Best. Keep well, stay safe and relax with a glass of mulled wine!
Debbie, Stephen, Hayden & Daichi

QUIRKY BY MICA BALE
From an interesting event in the height of the English Civil War to a special treat for King George III, Dorset has had many interesting chapters in its long history. This winter might well prove to be just another page in the journal of time but here are five more interesting facts from around Dorset to celebrate the county’s interesting past and even more interesting future. Did you know that in the old Dorset dialect, there are at least eight words for mealtimes? Ranging from the more recognisable ‘luncheon’ to the slightly less identifiable ‘nammet’ or perhaps the ‘nuncheon’, the Dorset dialect is a vital part of the county’s heritage and certainly offers an interesting mealtime conversation!
Did you know that in 1645 the English Civil War touched the lives of the village of Child Okehampton in a very unusual way. An independent unit of around two thousand men decided to attack both the Royalists and the Parliamentarians. Known as the ‘Clubmen’, their endeavour was actually to prevent further conflict between the warring parties. Their skirmishes resulted in Cromwell imprisoning at least three hundred of them however it could almost be said that there was a touch of amusement when he was later quoted as describing them as ‘poor, silly creatures”.
Of course Dorset is known for its delightful dishes however, rumour has it that George III himself was responsible for the creation of the Royal Portland Pudding! Reportedly, the king, during his frequent visits to Dorset, would especially ask for the rich fruit pudding. It was reported in a local publication of the day, that: “George III, during his visits to Weymouth, had several times made a tour of the Isle of Portland; and on those occasions he made the ‘Portland Arms’ his headquarters, and used to finish his day by dining at the house. The then landlady had a recipe for making a certain famous Portland pudding, and the King never failed to order this pudding, in honour of the island”. Although not unique, Dorset can boast some of the finest examples of where natural history meets humans. The holloways in the county have been created by thousands if not millions of Dorset locals having traipsed through the beautiful countryside and thus created delightful sunken pathways similar to tunnels, exposing tree roots and millenia of Dorset’s Jurassic geology. Perfect for a winter walk!

Although it might be a little difficult to go abroad for some winter sports, restrictions allowing, Dorset still has some great local activities including a range of different ski slopes and winter activities to enjoy. Perhaps even a game of socially distanced snow ball fights is the perfect opportunity to get outdoors and enjoy Dorset in its wintry wonderfulness!

Talking about Wildlife...
Fascinating Fungi Fungi don’t fit into the plant or animal kingdoms but into an entire category of their own. The Fungi kingdom is a large group of organisms that includes yeasts, moulds, and, of course, mushrooms. Found everywhere - in the soil, in water, on and within plants, and even in the human body - fungi are essential to life on earth and they have a fascinating biology. Fungi play an important role within our ecosystems, helping to recycle nutrients from dead or decaying organic matter releasing carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus into the soil and the atmosphere. Without fungi, these recycling activities would be seriously reduced, and we would have a lot more decaying material around our feet. They are important directly as food for us, with many edible mushroom species grown and harvested for sale and some mushrooms and truffles considered as delicacies. While mushrooms aren’t a large proportion of what we eat day to day, fungi are also widely used in the production of many other foods and drinks

such as cheeses, beer and wine, and bread. Fungi are also vitally important for the good growth of most plants and crops. In 1885, German biologist Albert Bernard Frank coined the word “mycorrhiza” to describe this symbiotic relationship in which fungus grows around plant roots. This gives the plants greater access to water and minerals such as phosphorus and nitrogen and even increases their immunity. In exchange, the plant provides carbohydrates and other nutrients to the fungi. Dorset Wildlife Trust manages many nature reserves to support and benefit all kinds of wildlife, including fungi. In west Dorset, Kingcombe Meadows and Powerstock are some of the best places in England to find fungi species, many of them rare, all of them beautiful. The huge variation in geology and plant life at Kingcombe Meadows Nature Reserve ensures a variety of habitats which allows for a larger variety of fungus species than one would expect in a few hundred acres.

Famous Words
Do you know who uttered these famous words? 1

If life were predictable it would cease to be life, and be without flavor.
The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans.
5 Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people's thinking.

"Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier."

Who said it?
“If you look at what you have in life, you'll always have more. If you look at what you don't have in life, you'll never have enough.”

Broadview help new restaurant to create al-fresco dining area A new restaurant in Broadstone has been given a continental-style appearance with the addition of a new al-fresco dining area thanks to Poole-based company Broadview Shading Solutions. To increase covers and oer social distancing during the current climate, Whittles Restaurant & Bar approached Broadview to advise them on the best way to create a sheltered outside dining space that could be used in all weathers. Broadview advised on three new awnings, manufactured by Brustor, and a branded Uhlmann umbrella with its very own lighting system. Remote control operation means the awnings can be quickly and easily extended or tucked neatly away depending on the weather.
Whittles is just one of the local hospitality businesses that Broadview has created exceptional outside dining spaces for. Other bars and restaurants include The Boat House in Christchurch, The Cumberland Hotel in Bournemouth and The Sandbanks Hotel in Poole. If you would like more information about how Broadview can help your hospitality business extend covers and create an al-fresco dining experience, please contact 01202 679012 or visit their website: www.broadview.co.uk

Adventures of Daichi

The Adventures of Daichi
The Dorset Directories Camper Van What incredible times. We do hope you are safe, well and are still smiling despite anything that maybe happening around you. Daichi highly recommends switching the news off for a whole week and doing things that make you happy. Here, the intention is to make you smile, give you ideas of places to visit (if we can now…), and things to do, that are simple, honest family fun. Hopefully, it is a light relief. So here we go… Daichi managed to sneak us back to that coastal village I so wanted to see when we were in Devon in the summer. This time it was October half term, so just before the second Lockdown. In August we had stayed in Bovisand on the other side of The Sound, that deep inlet of sea near Plymouth. While we were there, I looked daily across the blue expanse of water to a curious, small village with a beach. I was fascinated and told Daichi that was where I wanted to go next. He was straight on the case and found a little cottage in Kingsand perfect for the three of us: myself, Stephen and Hayden our son. I have to say I was not sure if Hayden would come this time. He had plans with friends and now at the grand old age of nearly seventeen I feel very privileged that he still likes to get away as much as we do and enjoy our English ‘escapes’. Off we set. Daichi was certainly all smiles, engine roaring and lights aglow.
Volcanic rock formations at Kingsand
Cawsand beach Cawsand and Kingsand are twin villages situated in Cornwall, right on the border with Devon. It is difficult to know where one village ends and the other one starts. For me they are idyllic. Crashing waves literally hit the walls of the houses which line the streets on one side and the beach immediately on the other. Situated on the Rame Peninsula with a very small population I could definitely live there. Not only are there terrific sea views, but the villages are nestled in Mount Edgcumbe Country Park with 865 acres of beautiful forestry and parkland, ideal for walking. It is a haven for dog lovers, walkers, children and simple adults like us. I am not so sure about rather large campervans in brightly coloured Kimonos though! Boy did Daichi have to breath in when navigating those cobbled, winding lanes. Sharp bends and stone walls, which look amazing, are not necessarily good for metal bodies. Daichi was lucky and decided to spend his time in the very safe car park. We had taken the chain ferry at Torpoint at the mouth of the River Tamar to get there. These crossings started right back in 1790 and now have 3 ferries running every day of the year, including Christmas Day. There is nothing like going on a ferry to know you are really going away! Some of us may have missed holidays abroad recently, but you can’t beat a good old English get-away.

29 The weather of course was very mixed (it was late October after all) with some wind and rain and then one day of a wonderful, mysterious sea-roke which enveloped the cliffs and the houses. Long thick fingers of fog and mist creeping around everything in its midst. I was brought up in the North, so this is very real to me and I love a bit of atmosphere. I think Daichi was ok in his safe place, the car park… Mid-week we took a trip to Whitsand Bay. What incredible chalets there are here! Scattered literally all over the cliffs from the bottom of the bay almost on the beach, right to the top of the overhanging cliffs. What fantastic views over a never-ending expanse of dramatic looking waters. Speaking to the owner of the very welcoming Cliff Top Café, we were told that the chalets had once, and not that long ago, cost £20,000 each but now sell for over £350,000! We wished we had seen them earlier… They are not large and some look more modern than others, but I think you are paying for the ‘pitch’! The day we arrived the sea was totally white. Torrenting waves were pounding on the beach and the unforgiving rocks. We took a walk right down to the front where the RNLI Lifeguards had a station, ready for any problems. We took many photos and videos of the thundering waves and the spectacular scenery. All smiling. Nature really is beautiful and there is something which excites the soul on mesmerizing days like this. After all that excitement we needed a meal and a drink to calm us down and take in the night sea air. Our favourite café had become The Bay, Bar & Restaurant in Cawsand. Right on the sea
Waves crashing against the shore
Chalet overlooking Whitsand Bay front it was perfect for a coffee and a piece of cake, or indeed a full candle-lit evening meal. One lunchtime I had a whole mackerel (head and all) on a bed of salad. You really can tell I am from the North, can’t you? I am definitely my father’s daughter, even if I have lived in the South since I was twenty two… just a “couple” of years ago. Now now… The whole week was really relaxing. One day walking along The South West Coast Path (we did not quite manage all 630 miles of it…) we discovered Pier Cellars, the old torpedo development and testing station. Steeped in history and built in 1888/1889 it had a certain ‘mood’ about it. It is not open to the public, now owned by the MOD and used by HMS Raleigh for training purposes, but looking through the wire fencing I don’t think I wanted to take it any further anyway… Great to see and a bit of our history to set the old ‘grey matter’ thinking. I was pleased to get back to the luscious greenery and still blue waters from on high, on the hills this day. There’s lots more I can say but I am limited with space – you may be relieved. The pink rocks on the beach at Kingsand were fascinating. I am no geologist, but this is volcanic lava apparently! How exciting is that? So Daichi, another great family trip. Hayden did not quite manage to get his board out this time, though you carried it all the way to Cornwall for him, just in case. It just wasn’t quite the weather this time, but boy did we enjoy watching those gigantean waves thrashing the shores. Where will Daichi take us next… I wonder? By Debbie Corney

A Message from Rotary Club Bournemouth President HOW DO ROTARIANS PaTrisha Todd ‘DO’ ROTARY 2020 has been a different kind of year, but one to be grateful for. It’s a year we will not forget in a hurry filled with tragedy, confusion and opportunity. Wouldn’t you agree that within the spectrum of national restrictions the official resilience of our scientific community has proved splendid giving us rapid results and breakthroughs never seen within that industry. Across the globe scientists, virologists and lab technicians have gotten together to find a solution to the pandemic – a vaccine! Rotary HQ too have stepped up during this time to help members serve local people in new ways. This Yuletide season a ‘Virtual Father Christmas’ might be heading your way. HQ have set up an on-line drop in compliance surgery to help with Covid19 risk assessments for when Rotarians stage in-person events, ensuring following latest guidance from Public Health England and local authorities. In person contact is important to maintain the spirit of friendship, even the mental health of members. Humans are sociable creatures. Furthermore, a Rotarian is someone who comes from that initial place of wanting to help others and form friendships. The idea of connecting with others to help those in need while enjoying social times. However, there is room too for the individual who prefers to keep themselves to themselves but would like to take up Rotary membership to support charitable works. You could too. Rotary is so much more than just charity. It’s an opportunity to share ideas, to spread kindness and generally be a part of the bedrock of the human race.
Within the structure of Rotary education plays a major role. Young children between the ages of 7 – 12 years are invited to join RotaKids. These young members are gently introduced to the concept of service before self and community engagement with a full helping of fun. Interact offers youngsters between 12 – 18 years opportunities to discover the broader meaning of community spirit through activities to help their communities. Young working adults can join Rotaract from 18 years of age to 30+. As members they can broaden their knowledge base through a series of leadership development skills courses including speaking and presentation skills, all helpful aspects to further their careers building their confidence levels and generally exchange ideas. Then there is membership to a local Rotary club. Rotary is special because it brings out the best in people from kiddies to golden oldies. We are open to 30+ age group for membership. If the idea of dipping into new territory to boost the foothills of ‘Service above Self’ by helping to transform the lives of others appeals to you, please get in touch. www.bournemouthrotary.org.uk secretary@bournemouth.rotary1110.org

Over £1000 Raised for the JTYAF at Crane Valley Captains Day The John Thornton Young Achievers Foundation (JTYAF) is honoured to be supported as ‘Charity of the Year’ by the three Captains at Crane Valley Golf Club. Their recent Captains Charity Fun Day, which luckily took place just before the current lockdown, was a huge success raising an incredible £1045 for the JTYAF! Twenty-six teams braved the elements, and the wind and rain didn’t manage to dampen their spirits as laughter and cheering was heard all around the course. Pete Thornton joined the three Captains for his first round of golf for many years and thoroughly enjoyed his day. The fantastic total of £1045 would not have been possible without the support of all those who took part and special thanks must go to the volunteers whose time and effort made this event possible. Pete and Linda Thornton were delighted to meet up with James, one of the Crane Valley juniors, who
Left to right: Pete Thornton, Ladies Vice Captain, Ladies Captain, Shani Bancroft, Men’s Seniors Captain, Paul Rowbottom and Men’s Captain, John Astley had received a JTYAF Award in 2019. He was proud to be supporting the charity day as his bursary had enabled him to really develop as a golfer and work towards his ambition to play at professional/ semi-professional standard. Since his award he has reduced his handicap to an impressive 13 at just 15 years old and we wish him every success for the future. The three Crane Valley Captains have shown tremendous commitment and support for the JTYAF. Despite these challenging times with lockdowns and restrictions they have organised two charity events and raised in excess of £2000! They are a fabulous bunch of people and we can’t thank them enough.

Short Story
Natalie poked her head around the kitchen door. “I thought I heard a crash.” Colin and Maureen looked at each other in panic. “So sorry Natalie, we’ve had a little accident,” Maureen confessed. “Colin’s dropped your Thermos flask.” By Jackie Brewster
Maureen and Colin watched helplessly as the Thermos flask slid from the table. It hit the kitchen floor with a dull crack. “Christmas is ruined,” Colin said glumly. “Christmas isn’t ruined.” Maureen reached for her glass to calm her nerves. “Not when there’s sherry.” “Perhaps it’s saveable.” Colin gingerly picked up the Thermos flask and shook it. It sounded like wet gravel. “Natalie brought it,” he said. Their guests, Colin’s dad, Maureen’s brother Derrick and his fiancée Natalie were patiently waiting in the dining room for their Christmas dinner. It was a family tradition for everyone to bring something for the meal. Colin’s dad had made the Christmas pudding, Derrick had brought crackers. “What did she bring?” Maureen asked quietly. “I’ve no idea,” Colin said, “she just handed me this when she came in.” It was the first time Natalie had joined them for Christmas day, and the pressure to impress was on because she’d once been a guest on a cookery show on the local radio and never missed an opportunity to mention it.
“It was only cheap,” Natalie laughed nervously. “Just so long as the contents are alright.” Colin shook the Thermos. Natalie looked crestfallen. “I could lend you a pair of slippers,” he offered. Maureen nudged him in the ribs. “But my advice would be not to put your shoes in a Thermos in the first place.” Natalie looked puzzled. “Not shoes, it’s jus,” she frowned, “to pour on the meal.” “Do you mean gravy?” Maureen asked, astonished. “I knew there was something missing!” “I suppose some people call it that.” Natalie sounded offended. “We professional chefs call it jus.” “Why didn’t you say?” Maureen laughed, refilling her glass. “Colin, get the jar of granules out of the pantry and I’ll whisk up some more.” “But it was a special jus,” Natalie protested. “What’s the key ingredients?” Colin asked as the kettle boiled. Natalie blushed. “I used gravy granules,” she said quietly, “with a slug of sherry in it.” “Didn’t I tell you Colin?” Maureen picked up the bottle. “Sherry to the rescue again!”
“What did she say when she gave it to you?” Maureen asked impatiently. Colin thought for a moment. “She said it was shoes,” he said finally. “It’s clearly not shoes though is it?” Exasperated, Maureen took another swig of her sherry. “What are we going to do now?” she said. “What did you ask her to bring?” Colin said. “I can’t remember, can I?” Maureen said. “Let’s look at what we’ve got and see what’s missing.” They looked at the steaming dishes of food on the counter – turkey, stuffing, sprouts and roast potatoes. “Can I help with anything?”

WRITTEN BY KATE EARL
STAR GAZING Welcome to the December Stargazing Page. Each month I’ll be describing astronomical events that are happening overhead in our beautiful night skies. The majority of events are viewable just by stepping outside on a cloudless night and looking up, but some may require a particular vantage point e.g. a clear view to the west. Occasionally, events will benefit from the use of binoculars or a small telescope if available, but all can be enjoyed without either. Warm shoes, layers of clothes, and a flask of hot tea are recommended during winter viewing!
Interna onal Space Sta on Due to the changeable nature of the ISS, timings published here are unfortunately often inaccurate. From hereon in, only dates, which are likely to remain correct, will be listed. To establish exact timings please visit www.heavens-above.com or a similar webpage for up-to-date information, remembering to set the location to Bournemouth. The ISS will be visible, often twice during the night, in our early evening skies between 1st – 10th December. Those hoping to spot ‘Santa’ on the 24th or 25th will need to wake up early in the morning, with pre-dawn sightings visible on both mornings.
Events The Winter Solstice occurs on 21st December this year, and marks the day when the Sun reaches its lowest point in the sky, as seen from the Northern Hemisphere. This in turn corresponds to the shortest day, and longest night (all the better for doing astronomy).
Mercury
The solar system’s smallest planet is lost in the Sun’s glare this month.
Venus Early morning risers continue to be greeted by Venus shining brightly in clear, pre-dawn skies to the south-east.
Mars Mars is still shining in the constellation Pisces, but is fading rapidly. Look south at 7p.m. on a clear night and search for a relatively bright, reddish object quite high in the sky.
Saturn & Jupiter If you see only one astronomical event this year, then the close meeting or ‘Great conjunction’ of Jupiter and Saturn must be it. The two gas giants have been slowly moving closer together in our night sky (as viewed from Earth), and on the 21st December appear so close they, along with their larger moons, will be visible in the same field of view in binoculars or a telescope. The two planets were last this close in Galileo’s time in 1623 CE. If the sky is clear this will be a truly spectacular sight. There is only a small window of opportunity to see this event as the planets are low in the sky, close to the horizon, but try looking after sunset, between 4.45 – 5.30p.m towards the southwest.
Moon This month’s full moon occurs on 30th December, and is traditionally known as the Cold Moon, Long Night’s Moon, or Moon before Yule.

Perfect for a festive sweet treat or a lovely edible Christmas gift these spiced star cookies can be kept in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
Makes 20 Ready in 1 hour, plus chilling and cooling INGREDIENTS • 2 medium egg whites • 175g icing sugar • 250g finely ground roasted hazelnuts • 50g mixed peel, finely chopped • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon TIP Dust the cookie cutter with icing sugar frequently to prevent the mixture sticking.
1. Using an electric handheld mixer, whisk the egg whites in a clean, grease-free bowl until holding stiff peaks. Stir in the icing sugar until thoroughly combined then continue to whisk until thick and glossy. 2. Remove 40g of this mixture and set aside. Fold the hazelnuts, mixed peel and cinnamon into the remaining mixture to make a very stiff dough. Chill in the fridge for 1 hour. 3. Preheat the oven to 140C, 120C fan, gas mark 1. Line 2 baking sheets with baking paper. Roll the dough out on a surface heavily dusted with icing sugar to a 1cm thickness. 4. Using a 5cm star-shaped cookie cutter stamp out about 20 stars, re-rolling the dough as needed until it is all used up. Place the stars on the baking sheet, well-spaced apart. Spread a little of the reserved egg white and icing sugar mixture on top of each star. 5. Bake for 25 minutes or until the cookies are still white and crisp on top but slightly soft underneath. Turn off the oven, open the oven door and leave the cookies to dry out for 15 minutes then transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool completely.
