Dear Poole Residents, We will look back on these confusing times wondering how we ever got through! It is vital right now to keep ourselves, our families and friends, safe and well, whilst trying to keep the economy afloat. What a job! More than ever the local trades and services here inside your community magazine need you. If we are sensible, protect ourselves, use face masks and wash our hands regularly, isolate if we are unwell, then we will be able to keep going. The companies here are all following the protocols required to continue to provide their services and keep their businesses alive. Stephen, myself and the team here all hope you are fit and well, and are continuing to find some things to smile about. Future planning is good for you. It permits us a goal, takes us beyond the immediate stops and worries, and gives us something to look forward to. What are your plans? What would you like to do in just a year’s time? On a more immediate basis, can the advertisers here inside help you with that dream kitchen, bathroom, landscape garden or even help you plan to move house? We do hope we are able to help you with this future, and immediate planning. The index at the back of the magazine shows you all our loyal advertisers. If there is someone or something you are looking for and they are not here, please give one of us a call. I am sure we can help you! We wish you a good month of November. I think this month we can really appreciate all that was done so many years ago to keep our freedom. We salute those who lost their lives to save us!

QUIRKY
BY MICA BALE
With Dorset now well and truly thrust into the heart of autumn, where could be better to enjoy this season of golden leaves than in one of the most beautiful counties in Britain? From some of the freshest oysters in Britain to a particular stone globe, certainly, Dorset is one of the finest places, come rain or shine.
Did you know that Dorset can boast its very own oyster farm? Located in Portland, the Crab House Cafe’s oyster beds offer a rare glimpse into the county’s history as there has been a heritage of oyster farming since as far back as when the Romans left their mark on Britain. Today, different methods of oyster cultivation have been employed, combining an ancient art with modern innovations and certainly offering some of the freshest oysters in Britain! It couldn’t easily be said that any one of Britain’s hills were due any particular acclaim however there is a special hill in Dorset that is worthy of exactly that. The Golden Cap is justifiably entitled as it is the tallest point on the South Coast standing at more than 190 metres. Aside from such an achievement, the Golden Cap is a haven for both flora and fauna and due to its height, gives one of the very best views of the Dorset coast and countryside.
John Constable may well be best known for his famous paintings of the East Anglian countryside however were you aware that it was in Dorset that the great artist himself spent his honeymoon with his new bride Maria Bicknell? It could be said that it was somewhat of a ‘busman’s holiday’ though as Constable produced several works of Osmington Mills and the surrounding area. It could only be speculated what Mrs Constable thought but certainly, his paintings and the Dorset counryside that inspired them have long continued to delight visitors.
PHOTO: ROMAN GRAC
Enjoying an autumnal walk through the county, you might well be surprised to find one of the world’s largest stone spheres. At home in Swanage, the Great Globe is an impressive structure in itself, weighing a whopping forty tonnes and is made from local Portland stone. The impressive structure was completed in 1887 and surrounding the Great Globe are plaques upon which are different quotations including phrases from the Bible as well as other interesting quotes from both English and Roman manuscripts. Interestingly, after the pretty village of Sixpenny Handley suffered a catastrophic fire in the May of 1892, other communities from around the county were touched by their plight and were said to have donated as many items as they could, including large quantities of clothing. So generous was their gifts that it could be said that a person from Handley could be identified based on how many waistcoats they wore!

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. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has received the coveted ‘Which Trusted Trader’ status after going through a rigorous accreditation process entirely focussed on customer service. Group Managing Director Marcus McGee believes that Which? have endorsed Cloudy2Clear’s long standing
company policy of delivering the highest standards possible at all times. ‘Our service is simple. If your double glazing has misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 25 year guarantee. 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 Poole 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...
The Deceptive Cuttlefish The closest most people come to a cuttlefish is when their white ‘bones’ wash up on beaches after rough weather. These are the evolutionary remains of the animal’s shell, as cuttlefish are molluscs, relatives of the snails in your garden. Way back in the evolutionary past, their protective shell was internalised and then evolved into the cuttlefish bone, which is used to provide the animal with buoyancy in the sea. By regulating how much gas the bone contains they can move up or down in the water without having to expend energy on swimming. If you pick one up it feels light. Cuttlefish bones are not the only thing that makes this animal extraordinary. They are recognised as intelligent animals, indeed, research has shown that they can be more intelligent than cats and dogs. Capable of counting at an equivalent level as a 4 year old child, they can also solve puzzles, negotiate mazes and plan ahead. Research has now revealed that these remarkable animals can use deception Common Cuttlefish Photo: Julie Hatcher
to get what they want – something that only a handful of species, including ourselves, are known to do. Cuttlefish communicate using the colours and patterns on their skin, which they can change instantaneously. This is especially used in courtship, when males compete for a female. Male cuttlefish have been filmed displaying female patterning on one side of their body (where a competing male can see it) whilst at the same time displaying to the female on their other side that he is an interested male. By deceiving the male cuttlefish into believing it is a female and therefore no threat, it avoids a physical battle, whilst at the same time giving the female his ‘come hither’ signals. While divers regularly encounter and interact with cuttlefish in our coastal waters, most people do not have the opportunity to meet these most interesting of animals. However at the Fine Foundation Wild Seas Centre in Kimmeridge Bay, Dorset Wildlife Trust had a baby cuttlefish in its aquarium. It is one that washed ashore as an egg and subsequently hatched in the aquarium where it grew rapidly ready for release last year. If you wish to visit, the Centre is open daily from 10.30am until 5pm from April to October.

“Dealing with death is one of the hardest parts of life” This year in particular we at Dorset and Wight have been inundated with enquiries concerning the worry of potential liability for long term care fees, along with an increase in requests for guidance on Lasting Power of Attorney’s.
Surprisingly, over 70% of the adult population still do not have a Will and of the 30% that do, the majority are either out of date due to familial or legislation changes or are basic Wills that do not protect your assets in a way that you actually intended. For instance, protecting your property against care fees and other third party predators by the use of a Property Protection Trust Will provides many benefits for your family’s estate. As long as it is done in advance, and well before you are aware of a need for long term care, it forms part of any sensible estate plan. When considering a Lasting Power of Attorney many people think “I’m not ill, why do I need one?” But they are missing the point. These again are documents that have to be made well in advance of any problems and are equally as important as a Will to have in place. Your Will looks after your wishes when you are no longer with us. Your Lasting Power of Attorney looks after your
wishes while you are still with us, but struggling to deal with your own affairs. This can happen due to age, the onset of a degenerative disease such as Alzheimer’s or Dementia, or suddenly due to an accident. Now more than ever people need professional help to put their affairs in order and to ensure that they themselves and their loved ones are protected if the worst was to happen.
This month’s tip No matter what age you are there are many things in our lives nowadays that require you to be able to show photo identification. So even if you have stopped driving and travelling it is worth considering renewing your passport when it expires so that you always have some form of photo ID available. This can save you time and expense in the long run. 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. Telephone 01202 065953 or 01983 623900 or visit:

Just1Swap can help to reduce waste! Lockdown has been hard in so many ways for all sorts of reasons, but one impact that has been overlooked is the pure hard fact that with thousands of people now on furlough or shielding at home, a dramatic increase in home cooking, learning new recipes’, and exotic dishes has swept the nation. Its amazing to see and hear of so many people cooking from scratch and learning new things, however the negative side of this is the huge increase of plastic waste and especially single use plastic waste going into our blue bins, mostly destined for landfill. I am an ex secondary school science teacher who has taught how plastics are made and the impact these have on the environment, from the disposal systems we currently use. Unless there is a complete overhaul of how plastic is disposed of or alternative materials discovered, our children and grandchildren will suffer the huge consequences, the toxic nature of landfill combined with the vastly growing population around the world makes a bleak future for those we leave behind. I have been passionate about the use of plastic for many years, so decided to open just1swap in Boscombe high street, to truly help the community make better decisions and offer alternative ways to reuse the plastic they have at home.
The main point made from surveys was that many people felt that they could not afford to change their whole shopping list, so why bother at all, as any small change would not make any difference. We are here to shout out to those people to say that just1swap WILL make a difference! There are 5,441 households in Boscombe alone. If each household made 1 swap (maybe reused their shampoo, conditioner, bodywash, toilet cleaner, washing-up liquid, and so many more options) that would save 5,441 plastic bottles going to land fill each week, YES, EACH week. One small change can have a significant impact not only on your blue bin but what we leave behind for future generations.
Ellen-Jayne Haji-Savva
We listened to people on the street and via online surveys to open what we hope is one of the largest selections of goods to help people reduce their plastic waste. We are competitive with supermarkets, and all our foods and goods are ethically sourced, always paying a fair wage from source, after all this is a global problem.

The Adventures of Daichi
The Dorset Directories Camper Van Daichi, the Dashing Dude, is our playful campervan who loves to take us out and dash us away to new and familiar places to have some family fun. Last month he did not disappoint. Many of us had holidays abroad cancelled, so what a great excuse to make the most of our wonderful English South Coast. Daichi was delighted to dash us to Devon for a week, away from it all. I love driving along the coast to Devon, taking in some amazing views along the top around Bridport and then having a stop and something to eat on the beach at Charmouth. Fossil finding at its best. I really know I am on holiday when we stop and look out to sea here. I can relax, unwind and start to leave the stresses behind. Bovisand Beach was where we were heading. We had never been before but as the holiday in Tenerife was cancelled by the flight company just a month prior, I had looked on Airbnb to find this gorgeous view of the sea from the small cottage at the top of the cliff. That was the one. It is all about the view for me. On arriving at Bovisand Beach, which is a stone’s throw away from Plymouth, I was not at all disappointed. It was incredible. You could see for miles. A Navy ship was anchored off the shore, there were swimmers, kayaks, stand up paddle boarders, sailing boats, motorboats and small ferries taking passengers to the idyllic looking villages of Cawsand and Kingsand opposite, across the bay. Truly delightful. In fact, when you sat down in the cottage
Daichi looks out to sea...
Watching the boats go by... and the tide was in it felt like we were on a boat in the middle of the sea - that is all we could see! We were lucky with the weather too. The previous week had been wet and windy, but this week looked much better, and it was! As a youngster, brought up in the North, rock pooling was a major delight. Dad and I used to pick winkles by the bucket load, literally, boil them and have them for tea. “Yum”, I say… “Ugh”, I can hear you say! It is a personal taste. This area had great rock pools and some caves too - when the tide was out. The first day on the beach was great. Hayden was able to get his race board out and practise his run into the sea at great speed (teenage boys…) while I lounged on the beach drinking coffee… one of my favourite occupations! Stephen put on his wetsuit and was off splashing about too. The sea rolled slowly, or not so slowly, back into the small bay and started to fill those rock pools with swishing (I love that sound) seawater and seaweed. There was rather a lot of seaweed due to the previous week’s storms, but that did not put us off. What we did not anticipate was the speed with which the sea crept in… we nearly had to swim our way back to the steps! All good fun. Us Brits do like to be dramatic at times! Back at the cottage we soaked in the sun on the decking overlooking the incredible bay below us. Where we had been sitting was now full of water. Thought

29 provoking… but I am a bit like that. An hour later, back to the other beach, where there was still some sand to sit on. Hayden could go charging back into the sea again. Watching the sunset, the rippling waves and the glittering sea with another coffee in hand was a great way to end our first day. Another day on the ‘other beach’ was decided and this time I did spend time in the rock pools which had small shoals of speedy fish and dancing seaweed. I could not find a crab! Not one. I was quite perturbed about that, so it gave me something to worry about! I think we must like problems, as we always seem to create them for ourselves. How funny. Three wonderful days on the beach. We were fully ‘unwound’. Now Hayden is a teenager, going into the sixth form, so uniform is no longer a requirement. Primark. He wanted to go to Primark. Wednesday was due to have some rain, so we planned our trip to Drake Circus, the shopping Centre in Plymouth, which of course has a Primark. Daichi, who had been keeping guard all week, was happy to take us shopping. However, I would not recommend a van in Plymouth. It is very difficult to park! The headroom in the multi storeys is not quite enough… and there is little parking for more than an hour anywhere else. Another problem – really!? Have to laugh. Finally, we managed to find a space for a maximum three hours. Primark was fun! I could not believe it. Literally
Rockpooling, whatever the weather!
Boys with their toys! within half an hour all three of us had found what we were looking for… and more… and all at a great price. Since you cannot try anything on at this odd time we are living in, you either like it or you don’t, you buy it, or you don’t. Simple. The times I have spent trying clothes on, for hours, to come away with one item if I am lucky. This time, no choice, take it or leave it. There may be some advantages to some of the restrictions which have at the moment! Not only that, I am now trendy Mum! Leggings, ‘Converse’ looking shoes (I used to call them sandshoes, but that is not cool these days…) and a gorgeous cardigan that looks hand knitted and reminds me of one my Grandma made me a long time ago! Hayden got his red shoes to match his shirt and more skinny jeans too. Stephen even bought shoes and a pair of trousers. Success – we were all smiles! The National Marine Aquarium was another really enjoyable day. What fish, wow! We also went on the Merry-Go-Round, Mary Poppins style, by the sea wall. It just had to be done. A meal out, just passed the Plymouth Lido, which had reopened for the summer, in a restaurant with almost 360 degree views of the sea. What more could we want? The whole week was a hit. Simple fun on our British Isle. Daichi loves to take us away, recharge those batteries and then back to reality, still smiling. It took us over ten hours to travel home as we kept stopping enroute to take in all the different places. Lyme Regis is another family favourite, so we ended our holiday there on the beach, with another meal watching the sun setting before finally driving home. Where will Daichi take us next, I wonder?

Let their care be your Legacy Turn a kind thought into real support for families like Noah’s Going into lockdown has been upsetting for all of us. That feeling of isolation and loneliness tinged with fear about the future. So imagine what it’s like for a mum with a seriously ill child. Eleven-year-old Noah has lifethreatening epilepsy which can strike at any time and when it does, he needs to be rushed to hospital. He nearly died during lockdown after suffering a seizure that lasted for 18 hours. It was a terrifying experience for Noah and his family and they were so grateful to have Julia’s House, the Children’s Hospice charity, by their side. Now Noah is back home having regular visits from our nurses so that his exhausted mum and dad can take a break. “Although their faces are covered by masks and they wear protective clothing, he recognises their voices,” said his mum, Emma. “The Julia’s House nurses are Noah’s safe people. Even in full PPE he is comforted just having them around.”

Parkstone Detachment: Dorset Army Cadet Force What have you done since March? Our Cadets have achieved amazing things! All face to face training has been suspended since March due to the current Covid-19 situation however, this has not stopped us from being active. To mark the World Mental Health Awareness Day on the 10th October, the Army Cadet Force (ACF) undertook the challenge to break the Guinness World Record for the ‘most number of users to take an online mental health awareness lesson in 24hrs’. This challenge was a success, the record was broken and thousands learnt how important it is to maintain a healthy mind as you would for a healthy body. This year we commemorated the 75th anniversary of VE Day but in the absence of parades or gatherings, we had to get creative. To pay homage to the two-day celebration in 1945, Cadets and Adults from Dorset ACF danced the Charleston Stroll which was a popular dance of the time to remember the Veterans and the fallen who gave their lives for us today. The video of this gained further recognition when it was broadcasted on the Radio Solent’s media pages. The Duke of Edinburgh Award (DofE) has persevered through the new restrictions and has made several changes to keep the participants working towards completing their award whilst at home. Cadets at Parkstone were awarded the new DofE 2020 certificate for competing the entirety of the award with the exception of the Expedition section. This never before seen certificate will be a reminder of their tenacity even through a global pandemic.
We took our first steps into learning British Sign Language (BSL). Deafness is the third most common disability in the world and with 138-300 different forms of recognised sign languages, it plays a large part of society today. Learning sign languages brings to light the struggle of deaf people and shows our respect for them whilst also helping deaf awareness. Parkstone can now communicate with thousands of deaf people. Want like to join us? The ACF will provide you with a FREE uniform and there are NO weekly fees, you just need to be aged 12-17 years old! We parade on Mondays and Thursdays from 7:15pm9:30pm on Weymouth Road, Parkstone, BH14 0DS Email Ross Wheeler-Clayton for more information on 7329wheele@armymail.mod.uk I would like to thank the Publishers of The Poole Directory for giving me the opportunity to share the news about Parkstone Detachment, Army Cadet Force.

Gardening Tips
36
On Your Plot Feeling Fruity
Few flavours compare with that of fruit freshly picked from the garden. Much of the fruit available in the shops (particularly the supermarkets) has been grown for it’s ability to travel well rather than it’s flavour and may have been picked well before it’s arrival on the shelf. If you fancy apples from your own tree, or a bowl of raspberries fresh from the garden, now is the time to act.
Jobs for November :-
• Start to harvest parsnips after the first frosts. • Tidy up your greenhouse or polytunnel, wash out pots and seed trays before storing ready for the Spring • Sow hardy peas or broad beans ready for an early crop next year. • Use netting or chicken wire to protect your broccoli and cabbages from hungry pigeons. • If you haven’t already done so, plant garlic and shallots. • If your rhubarb is taking over, lift and divide the crowns before replanting.
If you are anything like me you will spend ages drooling over pictures of bushes dripping with blackcurrants or gooseberries, trees laden with apples, or bowls full of luscious raspberries but struggle to get to grips with the realities of production on your own plot! Patience is a virtue that is definitely required for growing your own, and this is particularly so with fruit trees and bushes. I have to confess to having an inclination to move on with anything that requires more than a few months to give a decent crop, but with most fruit you just have to force yourself to take the long term view and now being the proud owner of a 2 year old gooseberry bush and raspberry canes I can assure you that the waiting is worthwhile! Think carefully about where you will grow your fruit. Trees require lots of space (but are a wonderfully attractive addition to your plot) while bushes may be incorporated in your borders, but will probably need some protection if you aren’t going to loose a lot of fruit to the birds.
Late autumn is an ideal time to add fruit to your plot as trees and bushes will be entering their dormant period. It is important to buy healthy plants and to ensure that they are dormant as they will transplant more successfully. If you are ordering from a reputable mail order nursery they are likely to arrange delivery to coincide with the best time for planting. You should also get instruction on how to plant and care for your new tree or bush. Trees such as apple or plum may be grafted onto a variety of different rootstocks - this sounds complicated but all you really need to know is what effect this will have on the final size of the tree. If you have limited space it is possible to buy dwarf varieties some of which can even be suitable for container growing. Pollination is also an important consideration, some varieties are self-fertile and do not need a pollinator, while others may require another variety planted close by to act as a pollinator. When planting your tree out it may benefit from staking and protection around the base. One ‘fruit’ that is a little different and very easy to grow is Rhubarb. Rhubarb is actually classified as a vegetable, but certainly tastes good used like a fruit in crumbles and pies. November is the perfect time to plant out dormant crowns. Although these can be bought from nurseries Rhubarb tends to spread well when established and needs to be divided every few years so it is often possible to obtain surplus crowns from friends or neighbours. Plant your crown with the buds just above the soil and water well the first year. Once the plants have become established you can look forward to harvesting a good crop of delicious pink stems from Spring onwards very welcome as the first ‘fruit’ of the year.

38 WRITTEN BY KATE EARL
STAR GAZING Welcome to the November Stargazing Page. Each month I’ll be describing astronomical events that are happening overhead in our beau ful night skies. The majority of events are viewable just by stepping outside on a cloudless night and looking up, but some may require a par cular vantage point e.g. a clear view to the west. Occasionally, viewings will benefit from the use of binoculars or a small telescope if available, but all can be enjoyed without either. International Space Station All sightings for early November occur between the chilly hours of 4a.m. and 6a.m. After November 20th the ISS is visible every evening after 5p.m., often twice in one night. Some of the brightest passes are around 5.40p.m. on the 23rd, 25th, 27th and 29th November, all rising from the west or southwest. Please note timings are subject to change, therefore I recommend checking www.heavens-above.com for up-to-date information, remembering to set the location to Bournemouth. Those of you hoping to use the predicted times for ISS overhead passes in September may have noticed they weren’t accurate. This was because the astronauts on board had to perform a last-minute ‘avoidance manoeuvre’ to ensure that they were not hit by a large piece of space debris left over from a 2018 Japanese rocket. The procedure was carried out effectively and no damage was sustained to the space station or the crew. See all eight planets of the Solar System in one day! November provides a rare opportunity to see all eight planets within 24 hours, with suggested viewing timings of 6a.m., 6p.m. and 9p.m. Binoculars or a small telescope will be required to spot Uranus and Neptune. To prevent moonlight from washing out the fainter planets, viewing on a cloudless night between 8 – 20th November is recommended. Mercury and Venus Mercury and Venus are currently visible in the early morning and the best time to spot them is around 6a.m. early in the month, and 6.15a.m. later in the month. Mercury will be quite close to the Sun and hard to spot as dawn breaks, and it will also be quite low on the horizon, therefore a clear view east, or an elevated position (such as a first-floor balcony or open window) is essential.

A skychart or app may be helpful to prevent confusing it with the nearby star, Spica. Venus won’t be confused with anything as it’s the brightest thing in the sky after the Sun, Moon and ISS! Be mindful to finish observing before sunrise (around 7a.m.) and always avoid looking directly at the Sun. Earth Just look down! Mars Mars is rapidly moving away from us now, but is still a distinguishable redorange object in the constellation of Pisces, a part of the sky with few bright stars, so it’s hard to miss. Look high in the sky towards the south at 9p.m. Jupiter & Saturn Still hanging on in our darkening autumnal skies, the gas giants are best viewed in the southwest around 6.p.m. before they sink below the horizon. Saturn is the dimmer object on the upper left of the bright, yellowish Jupiter. As an added bonus, Pluto, the ex-ninth planet is currently located very close to Jupiter as seen from our line-of-sight on Earth. It is difficult to spot, looking like a faint background star even with a good telescope. However, if you are looking in the direction of Jupiter, you are also looking in the direction of Pluto, so you can sort of tick it off the list! Uranus and Neptune Both the ice giants look like blue-green-grey discs in a pair of binoculars. They are best viewed when looking for Mars around 9p.m. Uranus is situated within Aries and is positioned left of Mars, whilst Neptune is in Aquarius to the right of Mars. As they are very hard to locate it is recommended that keen observers look up positioning charts that are freely available on the internet. Moon November’s Full Moon falls on the 30th, and has a number of names. In North America it is known as the Beaver or Frost Moon; to the ancient Celts it was the Dark Moon; and to Medieval peoples it was called the Snow Moon. VENUS
