Quirky Facts about Hampshire

10 Pub Quiz

Dear Residents,

12 Interview: Default Davina

From where I stand today, it looks like the restrictions are being lifted. Many are delighted with this, and many are a little trepidatious. It is down to our personal integrity and doing not only what is right for ourselves, but others around us too. Despite the setbacks and worries, which have been huge, there is a sense of community and helping each other, that I believe is stronger today. Let’s move forward with purpose and a sense of hope, to make this go right and turn what we can to a positive future.

QUIRKY FACTS by Mica Bale Isn’t August the perfect time of year to enjoy Hampshire in all its glory? Long days and hopefully nice weather throughout the month, what could be better than delving into the county’s most interesting facts in celebration of the last of the summer in our own county? From an interesting royal connection to Winchester’s watermill to an American showman, here’s another handful of quirky facts from around Hampshire!

Did you know that the British Deer Society was founded in 1963 and is based in Fordingbridge? The society was formed after it became apparent following the Second World War that deer populations were considerably larger than had been estimated. Originally known as the Deer Group within the much larger Mammal Society, the aim was to maintain safe numbers and strong herds and even today, decades later, the society works hard to educate and ensure a safe future for Britain's deer herds.

Perhaps unsurprisingly it was in Hampshire that the first powered flight took place. Lasting only a few seconds, the man behind the machine was American showman and cowboy who claimed to be the long lost son of Buffalo Bill, Samuel Franklin Cody. Although the alleged connection was not true, it is certainly true that Samuel Cody beheld his namesake’s talent for showbusiness and it was with the flamboyance of a showman that he took to the skies above Farnborough Common in 1903. Cody went on to contribute greatly to aviation in Britain however tragically, just a few years later, Cody flew once again at the common, only to suffer a crash that made him one of the first people to die in an aviation disaster.

Hampshire’s census records always provide a fascinating insight into the county’s history. However, did you know that some of the most common names by population in 1881 included the less than usual surnames of Tier, Urry and Tolfree which amazingly had origins meaning ‘someone who saddled horses for women?

Did you know that Winchester City Mill can lay claim to being one of the very oldest in the UK, with an impressive 1000 year history? Interestingly the watermill is still in working order after restoration work and is one of the oldest watermills that is still in working order. Aside from providing fine quality flour for generations of Winchester locals, it’s iconic history has attracted many great historical figures from JMW Turner to Mary Tudor who gifted the mill to the city in return for having her wedding to Philip II of Spain at the city’s cathedral. Remarkably the charming village of Fritham had an unusual claim to fame from the 1860s to the 1920s when it became the headquarters of the Schultze factory. Interestingly the factory was renowned for its development for a smokeless powder used by many estates throughout the country for sporting purposes. Amazingly the small Hampshire village would become the centre of the largest nitro-compound gunpowder factory and in later times a whopping three quarters of the world’s annual gunpowder consumption for sport all hailed from Fritham!

Default Davina Presenter Davina McCall on why she always comes back to two things – tip-top body toning, and terrestrial TV!

Just thinking about Davina McCall’s curriculum vitae makes even the most energetic person feel tired. The energetic presenter has spent three decades at the top of terrestrial entertainment, presented countless gameshows and BRIT Awards ceremonies, produced 14 ﬁtness DVDs, appeared as a guest on shows including Would I Lie to You?, Celebrity Juice and even Question Time, was a judge on The Masked Singer, and even raised over £2.2m for Sport Relief.

former heroin use continues to rack up the column inches. She worked a number of unusual jobs in her youth, including a brief spell as a backing dancer. Perhaps her energetic start in front of audiences is at the

From modest beginnings on MTV and Eurotrash, she truly leapt into the limelight with Big Brother, and there followed a decade in the surrounds of one of the UK’s most famous houses. In the process she became the face of a new genre of reality television, and a household name in the process. “I feel I have evolved in terms of the person I am and the work that I do, but at the heart of it I’ve always been fascinated by British TV and entertainment,” she begins. “I think that’s why so much of my work comes back to that.”

heart of why her run of ﬁtness programmes have been so successful.

Raised by her grandparents, McCall spent her early twenties on the party scene, and her

“I used to dance in nightclubs nonstop, then stopped going out so much, put on a tonne

of weight and did bits in the gym,” she remembers. “I was a ‘read a magazine on the treadmill’ person.”

And yet, as a child, Davina might not have been too sporty - “I did a bit of ballet but I had to leave in the end because I couldn’t keep my tummy in and my bottom in at the same time! Beyond that I didn’t even think about getting ﬁt till I was about 30.

While we can’t all morph into ﬁtness fanatics, it’s hard to deny a spare seven minutes here and there during the day, even with the most hectic of schedules. “Sometimes that’s all it takes to free up your limbs and keep circulation going,” she says. “I fear the fact lockdown held a lot of people back from pursuing normal exercise, and now we’re heading back towards normality, there is a real need for people to repair the physical and mental effects of the past year, and I pray that happens.”

Return to singing excitement

The Wessex Cancer Trust Sing for Life choirs have been meeting via zoom since March 2020 and members are now very excited at the prospect of returning to live rehearsals in the autumn. Singing to ourselves in front of a laptop or tablet, watching silent faces in boxes has not been very rewarding but has kept us safe and sane during the last diﬃcult year. If you have been touched by cancer and would like to join our friendly group the Totton choir will be restarting sessions at Hounsdown Hall on Wednesday afternoons from September. The choir are also looking for a volunteer helper. If you have some singing experience and would be interested in directing the choir sometimes we would love to hear from you.

Increasing numbers of homeowners are choosing to hold their properties as tenants in common to cut inheritance tax, avoid care home fees and to protect their share The Property Protection Trust Will package is based around how you hold the ownership of your home. All good estate planning nowadays considers the difference between owning your home as joint tenants or as tenants in common. If you own your home as Joint Tenants; when one of you dies the ownership of the home passes by the Law of Survivorship and not by your Will. Therefore, the surviving partner will automatically own 100% of the property. This sounds right to most people. BUT should the surviving partner need care in the future, the Local Authority can take everything they own (including their home) to pay for the care fees, leaving just £14,250 to be inherited by children and grandchildren.

There is an alternative.

Nowadays many couples choose to own their home as Tenants in Common where each partner will own 50% of the family home. This provides for many benefits. Firstly, it allows you to legally leave your share of the property in your Will to whoever you wish. A properly written Will can ensure that your half of your house will eventually pass to your children even if your widow re-marries. Unmarried cohabiting couples or relatives living together can also use this means of ownership as a way of minimising their Inheritance Tax exposure. It can also help with long-term care costs. If one of you is still living in your home the Local Authority can’t include its value in the means test if one of you has to go in to long-term care. This also applies if the husband or wife still living at home dies while the other is in care as their share will go into the trust.

Songbirds Bring music to your life by attracting your own dawn chorus. Nature’s early-morning concert is one of the summer’s greatest pleasures, and with a little encouragement, we can bring this dawn chorus to our front and back doors. The birds: Robin – The robin produces a twinkling, crystal-like sound that ﬂutters through the air. You’ll hear this little fellow all year round.

other that offer a range of tones and a stylish array of chords. Song thrush – Heard throughout the year, the song thrush makes a sound closest to those slightly shrill mobile phone ringtones… but nicer!

on offer; while tits, ﬁnches and siskins love the fatty proteins of peanuts.

Great tit – A repetitive twotoned whistle that cuts through the air and is most prominent in early spring. Wren – For many, the best improvised whistle of them all, with a raft of twists and twirls ending up in a rattling cacophony of noise towards the end. Willow warbler – Best characterised for a chain of notes that lowers as it progresses, the warbler’s song has clear gaps in between notes and a powerful chirp. Chafﬁnch – Heard throughout spring and summer, the chafﬁnch offers a punchy, powerful array of notes that slows towards the end Blackbird – So typical of the bird itself, the blackbird’s song features notes drawn into each

Water – Whether bathing, playing in it or drinking the stuff, a supply of fresh water, usually on a shallow plate, is one of the best ways to get birds engaged in your garden. Goldfinch – With elegant inflections and the occasional sound of a penny whistle thrown in for good measure, a chaffinch has an eclectic song and is heard from early spring. How to attract them: Bird feeders – Unknown to many, the type of food you leave in bird feeders will directly influence the species you attract. For instance, suet balls are favourites with robins, blue tits and long-tailed tits; niger seeds are loved by greenfinches and goldfinches; starlings, robins and blackbirds will come if mealworms are

Plants – Edible plants, berries, shrubs and wildﬂowers will keep your birds hanging around for long periods. Protection – Birds are always on the lookout for cats and other predators ready to disrupt their everyday pleasures of gliding from one branch to another, so the more space you can offer your feathered friends, the more they will relax and hang about. Birdboxes – Ensure you’re hanging these high enough away from cats and squirrels, and in a semi-sheltered where birds can nest in peace.

What is a Digital Asset? When people consider the assets they might leave behind to loved ones, digital assets are commonly overlooked. A recent survey by the Law Society revealed that a staggering 93% of people who have made a will have not included digital assets. Considering your online footprint when making provisions for your will, will save your executors a lot of hassle and headaches. What is a digital asset? A digital asset is anything that is stored in a binary format and encompasses any account that you open online ie: • Cryptocurrency (virtual wallets) • Paypal, Spotify • Amazon, Ebay, Shopify • Facebook, Twitter, Instagram • Online photos If you fail to leave instructions to your executors or family members then the winding up of these accounts can be nearly impossible for them, virtual wallets (cryptocurrencies) will be lost if secure access

has not been provided to a trusted executor. If you have any of these digital assets, we strongly recommend that you collate your usernames and passwords and arrange for your executors or attorneys to have access when needed. You might wish to store such information with your will. At the very least, it is sensible to have a list of such assets that your executors/attorneys can investigate. For those who are particularly computer savvy, you can also store all of this information in one private online document and provide the single password to access it to your chosen person before or after it is required. This is intended for general guidance only. In all cases specific advice should be sought. Bells are a specialist Wills, Probate, Residential and Commercial Conveyancing Practice. The office is open five days a week Monday – Friday 9am – 5pm (prearranged appointments only). Our professional service is right on your doorstep.

The Adventures of Daichi

The Modern Magazines Camper Van Isn’t it great to go for a walk in our luscious green, English countryside! Daichi highly recommends walking to clear away the mental cobwebs and stresses of the week. He loves to bounce his way to the destination, always with a picnic, coffee at the ready and a big stealy white smile. We love him. This time he took us to Pamphill near Wimborne in East Dorset. There are bluebell woods here which can look amazing at the right time of the year. In 2018 the National Trust planted 2500 trees at the Abbott Street Plantation, which you can see on the map. This included oak, hazel, scots pine, sweet chestnut and wild cherry trees. The intention is to extend the ancient woodland for future generations, so they continue to enjoy our wonderful wildlife and views. How cool is that. Some of the trees in the woodland have been standing there for 300 years (and I feel old…) and are struggling with disease and stress, so there was a fence to keep us heavy humans out and allow the trees some space, peace and quiet to recover. Maybe there is a lesson to learn there… certainly

Map is on the board at the car park 26

Ancient woodland at Abbott Street Copse taking a walk can help us too, recover from a taxing week. In addition to that some of the dead trees, known as “standing deadwood” have been deliberately left where they have stood for hundreds of years. These old, decayed trees, which still have a wonderful presence about them, are great for wildlife and create a haven for woodpeckers, insects, tree creepers and a large variety of fungi. They make it a heathy habitat for other species to thrive. I love nature and there is definitely something very magical about this woodland. I take my hat off (or Daichi’s bonnet) to the National Trust who are preserving this delightful area. We really enjoyed our meanderings. Once out of the sheltered wood, we walked to more open ground, across fields and climbed over stiles to follow the walk we had found on our phone. Modern technology working with ancient woodlands and a beautiful leisurely stroll. The walk is about an hour long, though we were walking pretty slowly really, so for those who like more of a hike you could probably do this in half an

hour! We like to amble, take our time and breathe in the fresh air. We saw buzzards, deer, horses and walkers with dogs. The view further on the trail is amazing. Rolling hills and farmhouses. One thatched cottage in the distance had had a fire and was burnt to a cinder, all black and eerie looking. I do not know the story there, but I certainly hope everyone was safe. Back at the Pamphill Green car park we decided to visit St Stephen’s Church, which is the Bankes Family Church. The Bankes family owned Kingston Lacy Country House and this Church was built in memory of Walter Ralph Bankes who was a Lord High Admiral of Purbeck. I immediately noticed there were no gravestones. Call me odd, but as a teenager and later at university I used to walk around Churches and Graveyards to read the tombstones. I found it fascinating to see who was alive in the area then, how long they had lived and see family members all together. Pure enchantment. To others I was seen as a little ‘mad’ I think! Well, it is a good job we are all different I say. So, immediately seeing there were no gravestones to read, I looked it up on good old Google and found that land has to be consecrated in order to have a burial ground. Holy water, which has been blessed by a priest is used to make the land sacred and only then can

St Stephen’s Church at Pamphill

Daichi waited in the woods the land be used for burials. This land was obviously not consecrated and thus no tombstones to read. Churches do have a certain atmosphere about them, especially chocolate-box looking ones like this one. Idyllic. This Church was built in 1907 after seven years of construction. The previous Church had been left to go to ruins and unlike the dead trees in the woods, a broken-down, dilapidated Church does not aid others in their survival, so a new one had to be built. Well, they did a very good job I have to say. All this countryside walking and fresh air meant that refreshments were in order. The Vine Inn Pub is a very short drive down the road and as it was a lovely evening, we decided to sit in the garden there and have a drink. A great end to a very simple, relaxed afternoon. After all the chasing around of the week it was delightful to sit and listen to birds singing, taste the fresh night air and chill out. Daichi watched us with an equally lazy smile. Wherever you live there is countryside not that far away. If you are able to get out and about, all you need is walking shoes and a jacket just in case. Take your time, take a stroll and let nature calm the spirits. Truly recommended. Where will Daichi take us next I wonder? By Debbie Corney

STAR GAZING WRITTEN BY KATE EARL kateearlastro@gmail.com

Welcome to the August Stargazing Page. Highlights this month include 2021’s best meteor shower, the gas giants on display, and how to locate the centre of our Milky Way galaxy. International Space Station The ISS is only visible for the last few days of August, between 3 – 6am. To establish exact timings please refer to www.heavens-above.com or a similar webpage for up-to-date information, remembering to set the location to your home town. Events The annual Perseid meteor shower, famous for its bright ﬁreballs and persistent trains, reaches its peak this year on the night of 12 - 13th August. Fortunately, the optimum time to spot most meteors is after midnight, and as the Moon sets at 10.30pm we will be left with a dark sky to observe the best meteor shower of the year. Grab a warm drink, coat and a blanket and see what you can spot. Although the radiant for the shower is towards the northeast, the meteors can appear to come from any direction in the sky. Mercury & Mars The Solar System’s two smallest planets lie adjacent to each other low on the western horizon after sunset and are incredibly diﬃcult to locate, being lost in the Sun’s glare.

Object of the Month August is a great month to locate the centre of our Milky Way galaxy, found within the constellation of Sagittarius. Look for the ‘Teapot’ asterism low to the south around 9pm (see figure). Its spout points towards the galactic centre, which hosts a super massive black hole called Sgr A* that has a mass equivalent of 4 million suns. This area is wonderfully rich in star clusters and a set of binoculars swept over the area will reveal a magnificent suite of astronomical objects. This part of the sky never gets very high, and is best viewed between July and September, so get out there if you can and enjoy it whilst it lasts! You’ll need a good view south – the Bournemouth clifftop is a good place to look, but watch out for low sea mists and heat haze disrupting your view. View S throughout Aug at 9:30PM

View on 21 Aug at 11PM

Sagittarius Jupiter

Moon Teapot Asterism

Galactic Centre

Venus Conversely, Venus is the incredibly bright object in the west, visible until about 9.30pm. Jupiter and Saturn Jupiter and Saturn ﬁnally return in all their splendour to our evening skies. Located low in the southeast around 9pm, they move higher towards the south around midnight. Jupiter, on the left, is the brighter of the two (see ﬁgure). If you are able to look at Jupiter through a pair of binoculars you may see four pinpricks of light close to the planet. These are its four largest moons; Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. Moon This month’s full moon occurs on 22nd August, and is traditionally known by a variety of names, including Barley, Fruit and Grain Moon. 32

Summer Fruits Pie Introduction

Make the most of summers berries with this delectable pie… perfect with a dollop of fresh cream!

Ingredients

(serves four)

For the pastry: 225g cold unsalted butter chopped into small pieces 350g plain flour 50g icing sugar Pinch of salt 1 large egg yolk For the filling: 800g of berries such as strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, cherries or blueberries 100g sugar 2tbsp of cornflour ½ tsp cinnamon 1 egg white (for glazing) 1tbsp sugar (for sprinkling)

Top Tips

Method

1. Put the ﬂour, butter, icing sugar and salt in a food processor and blitz into crumbs. Combine the yolk with 1tbsp cold water, then add to the processor and pulse until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into two, wrap in clingﬁlm and chill in the fridge for at least one hour or, better still, overnight. 2. Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas mark 5. Roll out one half of the pastry, then butter an 8” pie dish and press in the pastry topped with a sheet of baking paper and baking beans. Bake blind for 30 mins. Remove the paper and beans. Mix the berries, sugar and pour

Tip

If using tough greens such as raw kale, massage the leaves first with olive oil to soften.

the mixture into your baked pie base. 3. Roll out the second batch of pastry and top the pie with it, trimming to ﬁt, and using a fork to seal the edge. Use a sharp knife to create a few slits for steam to escape before brushing with the whisked egg white before topping with sugar. Bake for 30-35 minutes until crust is golden. Leave to cool as ﬁlling will be extremely hot!

• If you’re time-starved, feel free to use pre-made shortcrust pastry which is generally as good as homemade, and certainly easier! • If you don’t have baking beans use cooking weights, dried lentils or rice. • If you don’t have access to a food processor simply rub the butter and ﬂour together until it is the texture of breadcrumbs.

here is nothing more satisfying for us than hearing a patient say that for the first time in their lives, they feel confident in their own skin”, says Dr Tara Kidd who runs The Skin Clinic Company : a high-end medical skincare clinic, aiming to bring the Harley Street experience to the South of England. Focusing on the synergy between skin health and advanced procedures, Dr Tara specialises in the latest scientifically based skin and medical aesthetic treatments, from advanced skincare products and facial treatments, to cosmetic injectables and non-surgical skin rejuvenation using medical-grade technology. Dr Tara trained on Harley Street, London and runs her clinic from several clinic locations in London, Winchester and Sandbanks in Dorset. Prior to her career in 36

aesthetics she spent significant time working in specialities such as Dermatology and Surgery before working as a GP. Her work has been featured in numerous magazine articles and online publications, and she also is involved in training other budding aesthetics practitioners. “Being involved in a patient’s skincare journey is a real privilege”, says Dr Tara. “It can feel very daunting to decide to deal with issues that have affected someone’s self esteem for years. We know that a huge amount of confidence is tied up in our skin and how we look, and whilst we encourage all our patients to embrace their imperfections, and the uniqueness of who we all are, it’s wonderful to be able to help patients who have issues which may have affected their self belief for years.”

To advertise in this magazine, call 01264 316499

Dr Tara oﬀers a free no-obligation consultation to every patient, to discuss their skincare concerns, and tailor a bespoke package of possible treatments.

“We aim to target the signs of skin ageing and skin disease, from the inside out” says Dr Tara, “And we believe passionately that the best way to get glowing, radiant skin is to have healthy skin. We offer a holistic approach combining nutritional and lifestyle advice, with prescription skincare, injectable face and body treatments and other therapies such as Collagen micro needling and enzyme peels”. Dr Tara personally performs all treatments, unlike some clinics where non medical professionals are offering treatments, and so patients know they are in safe hands of a highly qualified medical professional with an intimate knowledge of facial and body anatomy. With an ever-growing list of new therapies being developed, Dr Tara continually research new treatment options and attends masterclasses and training to ensure she is up to date with the very latest developments and can offer patients the best options. The clinic offers numerous treatments including • acne treatment • scar and stretch mark revision • wrinkle reduction and other anti-ageing therapies • non surgical facelift • dermal fillers including under eye and jawline contouring • non-surgical rhinoplasty (“nose jobs”) • body contouring • permanent fat dissolving • facial rejuvenation treatments

• Collagen Induction Therapy • microneedling • chemical and enzyme peels… and more! Dr Tara oﬀer discounts to NHS staﬀ, and brides who wish to plan a bespoke package of skincare in the run up to their big day. “I would suggest that anyone who has been troubled by the state of their skin, whether it is acne, excess fat that they can’t shift with diet or exercise, or the signs of ageing, should get in touch and see how we can help”, says Dr Tara. “Radiant, healthy looking skin is possible for all of us, if we approach it in the right way and get the right advice and treatments”. So for a really personalised, and unique skin care journey, look no further than The Skin Clinic Company.
