Dear Poole Residents, The wonderful summer weather really did spoil us this year didn’t it! The children are now back to school and we are starting to look forward to those golden autumn leaves brightening our skies. Personally, I love our British changing seasons. Places look different at different times of year, so it is a good excuse to re-visit some of our favourite spots. Nellie would say that! Get out and live life, she would exclaim. On that note the story this month is a tribute to her. We have had five fabulous years and unfortunate events have led to what you will read about. We do hope you have enjoyed her exploits each month. We look forward to welcoming Daichi, the Dashing Dude! It is now time to start planning any changes to the house, before those winter months really do set in. A new kitchen, bathroom, or bedroom maybe? Perhaps a new colour on the walls, or those electrics fixed once and for all? There are many local trades and service people inside your little magazine who are here for you. They would love to hear your call or see you in person. Please let each know how you found their details as we are here to help them, help you‌ and we love to hear the advertisers are busy! The prize word search continues to be very popular. The lucky winner this month was Miss N Knight. Well done! Who will be the next lucky winner? I will let you know. Wishing you a Super September!
Debbie, Stephen, Hayden & Nellie... for the final time

The 2018 Bournemouth & Poole Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride Motorcyclists unite globally as The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride shines the spotlight on men’s health in over 650 cities across 95 countries on Sunday September 30th. With close to 1 million men losing their lives annually from suicide and prostate cancer, the annual event is calling on the community to stop men dying too young. Over 120,000 men and women will dress in their finest attire and ride their vintage and classic styled motorcycles worldwide, to raise funds and awareness to prostate cancer and mental health on behalf of official charity partner, The Movember Foundation. Founded in 2012 by Mark Hawwa, Sydney Australia, The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride has raised over $13M USD for men’s health, with a goal of adding a further $6M USD to the cause throughout the 2018 fundraising campaign. Last year the our ride raised over £23,000 and this year we aim to raise over £30,000.
Bournemouth and Poole’s Distinguished Gentlefolk will once again be taking part with over 500 riders donning their cravats, tweaking their moustaches, pressing their tweeds and polishing their classic and vintage motorcycles to ride for men’s health. The ride will start at Poole Quay and will finish at Bournemouth School where there will be an event to celebrate the completion of the ride. Why not get involved? If you ride a vintage or classic styled motorcycle and wish to participate in the Bournemouth Ride, or to make donation to the cause, visit www.gentlemansride.com Or be at Boscombe Pier from about 11am. Or join us at The End of the Ride at Bournemouth School where there will be food, drink, refreshments, raffles, an auction and the opportunity to see some wonderful machines and meet some distinguished ladies and gentlemen. If you would like to get involved and support the Bournemouth & Poole Ride with sponsorship, raffles prizes or anything else please do not hesitate to contact Ian at BournemouthDGR2018@gmail.com.

Talking about Wildlife...
The dragon of the skies… No summer is complete without experiencing the sights and sounds of a dragonfly as it hunts over a nearby pond. Agile and colourful, dragonflies are a joy to watch with their aerial manoeuvres rivalling the fastest military aircraft as they duck and turn in pursuit of prey, or narrowly avoid the clutches of hungry hobbies. These adaptable insects lord over wetlands, moorland and even woodland glades, feeding on flies, midges and even each other. If you thought butterflies were the only insects worth a second glance, these multi-coloured, iridescent predators demand appreciation too. In addition to occasional visitors from continental Europe, there are 17 species of damselfly and 23 species of dragonfly resident in the UK. They are found in almost every habitat, bringing a splash of colour to the landscape just as the wildflowers and butterflies are winding down – so now is the perfect time to spot them! This year in Dorset we’ve been lucky enough to witness the arrival of the Southern Migrant Hawker dragonfly, which is usually found in warmer climes. Spotted in Lytchett Heath in east Dorset, this is a first recording for the county, most likely due to the prolonged period of warm weather this summer. The overall appearance of the male Southern migrant hawker is much bluer Southern migrant hawker dragonfly

than the more common migrant hawker, and is often called the blue-eye hawker, on account of its blue eyes. The migrant hawker dragonfly is one of the most exciting dragonflies to spot, and you can often find them hunting along sheltered hedgerows in August and September. Another impressive dragonfly you may see this year is the emperor dragonfly, which is a characteristic dragonfly of new ponds, where for the first few years, their larvae may be extremely common. The males are pale blue, with an applegreen throat and a black stripe running the length of the body. Dragonflies are most active in warm and sunny conditions and are most commonly found near water, but several species also travel to feed in gardens, fields and woodland edges. To help with your identification of dragonflies and damselflies, visit The Wildlife Trust ID pages: www. wildlifetrusts.org/wildlife-explorer/invertebrates.

• Rock the Boat Street Guitars, Friday 4pm – 9pm, Saturday 12pm – 9pm – five old sailing dinghies have been upcycled into mini-stages and will be set up along Poole Quay. The boats provide sculptural shelter for acoustic guitars and ukuleles for passers-by to take part in impromptu performances. Kate Wood, co-artistic director from Inside Out, commented: “We are looking forward to welcoming artists from all over Europe to perform in our distinctive county. The opportunity to present so many premieres by companies that have never worked in the UK before is very special. And with a host of new commissions it makes this year’s a festival not to be missed.” Justin Hundley-Appleton, manager at Poole BID, added: “We’re really looking forward to the return of Inside Out this year, it’s always a quirky event on the calendar and it’ll be great to see some interesting installations throughout Poole Quay for everyone to get involved with.” Other performances and activities will be taking place in Weymouth, Boscombe and Dorchester during the week-long festival of arts.

26 You’ve worked hard for what you have. Make sure you keep it. Protect your home from funding future care fees which currently run at an average £1000 per week. Do you want your home and wealth to go to your children and other loved ones? Have you ever considered what the effect might be on your savings and investments, or even your home, if you ever needed residential care later in life. The Problem Currently anyone with assets in excess of £23,250 will not receive any assistance with care fees. Typically, when a couple owns a house together and one partner dies, their share passes to the surviving spouse. Whilst at first glance this would appear practical it is this sole and absolute ownership that enables a whole property to be taken into consideration as an asset by the local authority and puts the property on danger of needing to be sold to fund care.
The Solution A Property Protection Trust Will is a will drafted to help protect your property from an assessment by the local authority to fund long term care fees. The half share of the family home belonging to the first person to die, passes into trust. This type of trust is also known as a Life Interest Trust in favour of the survivor which means that they can benefit from the share of the house in the trust during his/her lifetime and on their death the trust fund passes to others, usually the children.

Adventures of Nellie
28
The Adventures of Nellie The Dorset Directories Camper Van Many of us have come to enjoy Nellie’s exploits over the years, 5 good years in fact. Playful in her mature fun-loving way, always ready to go somewhere new and have a go. She would laugh at herself with her long black skirts to cover up her rather large thighs and a silver grin that would bring a smile to everyone’s face. Family fun, excursions, exploring and seeing the bright side of life have been her passion. I did say the journey was interesting at the end of last month, so are you ready? Driving back from Wales… Well, we had literally just passed the “Welcome to England” sign, travelling at a mere 20 miles an hour when there was a sudden bang. We lurched forward. I yelled. We were hit again. The young girl in the car behind Nellie failed to stop, she just kept going. I yelled for a second time. Nellie was badly hit and I knew instantly she would not be repaired. The girl’s car was totally ruined, the engine would not start at all. After the police came to help, Nellie limped to the nearest service station and unfortunately on the back of a truck Nellie was taken to the “old van’s home”. It was very sad. If I say anymore we will all cry, and that is not ‘our Nellie’. No, Nellie is not one to give up easily and she has a Grandson in Japan who is coming over to replace her fun and frolics here on the South Coast. Nellie will be keeping a close eye on him of course because from what I hear ‘Daichi, The Dashing Dude’ as he is known (and for good reason), is a bit of a handful. Despite his Japanese upbringing, he has somewhat of an ‘Italian’ persona and likes the lady cars. Being the personality he is, he is having a ‘makeover’ (can you believe
Nellie with the Cerne Abbas Giant it?) before he arrives here in Dorset. Goodness knows how we will cope, but I am sure we will manage somehow. It was Nellie’s idea and you know what these stubborn older ladies can be like! When we tried to argue we just saw ‘the look’ from those headlights and we decided it was best to let her be right. We are all for an easy life. Daichi, which means ‘first grandson’ in Japanese, is taking his time (there is a lot of makeover going on) and will be with us in a couple of months. In the meantime we will take a look back at Nellie’s Golden Years… It all started in 2013. Stephen’s old car had finally given up and I had this idea to get a campervan to help Stephen not only carry all of out thousands of magazines each month, but also give us some family fun with a good excuse to get out and about. Having a young, very active boy of nine at the time, and being a somewhat ‘older Mum’, having the van meant we could all enjoy a day out. After all, Nellie’s whistling kettle satisfied my more relaxed way of life and the outdoor life let Hayden run around to his heart’s content. Stephen had the

29 best of both worlds. It got both of them off the computer too! As soon as we bought Nellie, she attracted attention. Five years ago there were less van’s like her on our English roads and the dark glass, with her roof up, her long black skirts and her silver smile seemed to draw people in. They were curious. That’s what gave me the idea to characterise her and write about where she took us. It was all a bit of fun and would hopefully make others smile. Her very first trip in June ’13 was to Cerne Abbas to see the naked Giant on the hill. Knowing Nellie now, some may see why that might be, she was always a bit cheeky! One of our favourite trips was to the Isle of Wight. Mum, Dad my sister, her husband and the three of us all went in convoy. Nellie was so excited she got on the earlier ferry and left my sister and brother-in law in ‘Lady J’ standing, waving, on the quay! We all met up again and had a fabulous week exploring the whole island. Fishing for the boys and Liz Earle’s Beauty Salon for us girls. We came out smelling better than the boys did, Nellie will tell you! Another great stay was had at Norden Farm near Corfe Castle. Fields, the wonderful sounds of our English birds, fishing again, fish and chips in Swanage, a picnic by the River at Wareham, what more can you want? Nellie took us to Cornwall last summer where Hayden competed in
Nellie at Carisbrooke Castle, Isle of Wight
Nellie ‘unpacked’ ready for the beach the Surf Life Saving Championships (I did say he was active didn’ t I?) where we got thoroughly rained on and had to buy a new awning. Camping at it’s best…? Following that was a wedding in Hull, so Nellie was packed with wellies, wetsuits and surf boards, next to wedding outfits, dainty shoes and a fascinator! All good fun and just shows how versatile Nellie really was. Ever ready, with a big silvery grin, for any occasion. If you had a favourite story please let us know. Phone, write or email. All details are here in your local community magazine. Nellie would love to hear from you! For the next few months we will improvise until Daichi the Dashing Dude arrives to entertain you. Nellie wishes you all well and may you keep smiling. By Debbie Corney

Brave soles wanted for charity fire and ice walk Anyone brave enough to take on the challenge of walking barefoot across smouldering hot coals and razor-sharp glass is invited to sign up to Forest Holme Hospice’s charity Fire & Ice Walk at Cobham Sports and Social Club in Wimborne on Thursday 11th October to raise money for local people affected by a life-limiting illness. The Fire& Ice Walk is a great challenge for individuals wanting to test out their bravery and push themselves to achieve something they never thought possible, as well as a unique team building opportunity for local businesses and organisations. Participants will leave having achieved a huge personal accomplishment and can rest assured that each step they take on the fire and ice walk and every penny they raise, will go directly towards care and support for patients and their families during the most difficult time of their lives. Forest Holme in Poole provides end-of-life care and support to more than 1,000 people each year with advanced cancer and other life-limiting illnesses such as Motor Neurone
Disease, Parkinson’s, heart disease and respiratory illness across Poole, Wimborne and The Purbecks. The event is hosted and led by Scott Bell of UK Fire Walk, one of the world’s leading experts on walking over fire, who will train participants to step away from the comfort of everyday life and onto hot coals and broken glass. Scott uses confidence boosting training to ensure the experience is richly rewarding in terms of increasing self-belief, reaching your potential and awaking inner strength. Scott is twice holder of the Guinness World Record for the ‘Greatest Fire Walking Distance’ and has led thousands of people across fire and glass with an outstanding safety record. If you fancy testing your nerves then sign up to support Forest Holme, registration costs just £15 and there is a suggested fundraising target of £80. Register now by calling the Forest Holme Hospice Fundraising Team on 01202 670644 / email: fundraising@ forestholmehospice.org.uk or visit fireicewalkfh.eventbrite.co.uk

GUIDE Container Shrubs
Late summer to autumn is the main period for planting shrubs in containers, although container grown shrubs can be put into ornamental pots at almost any time.
based compost as shrubs are likely to stay in their containers for a few years and any grown in peat based compost will need frequent feeding and will dry out more quickly than loam based ones.
Choose a container that is the right size for the shrub. If the container has been previously used, scrub its inside surfaces thoroughly.
However, you should use ericaceous compost for lime haters such as rhododendrons, pieris, camellia, conifers and heathers.
Put heavy containers into position before planting up, or risk a slipped disc! Stand the container on blocks or bricks to allow free drainage. Put broken crocks over the drainage holes and if you have something like coarse gravel put a 1 inch layer to help with drainage. Place some compost next and then arrange the plant centrally. Pack more compost round the edges making sure there are no air pockets and allow at least 10 cms below the rim to allow for watering and mulching. A loam based compost, such as ‘nutrient rich’ is better than a peat

Hall & Woodhouse celebrates its retired team members at Pensioner’s Lunch Hall & Woodhouse, the leading independent family-owned Dorset brewer with an established pub estate across the south, held a lunch for retired team members to celebrate the company’s Founder’s Day. The annual event is held for past team members of Hall & Woodhouse (H&W) who have worked continuously for the company for more than 15 years. Mark Woodhouse, Chairman, and Anthony Woodhouse, Managing Director of H&W, host a complimentary three-course lunch each year in either a newly opened or refurbished pub across the estate. This year H&W held the lunch at The Grasshopper in Bournemouth Road, Poole, to celebrate the £1.8million makeover of the pub. Entertainment was provided throughout the lunch by magician Clive Greenaway, who spent time with each guest performing an array of tricks. Anthony Woodhouse, Managing Director of Hall & Woodhouse, explained: “Hall & Woodhouse is a values-led business where the team is part of the family and the family is part of the team. It is important for us to keep in touch with our past team members and this is our way of saying thank you for their loyal and dedicated service, which they provided the company with for many years. “Teamwork is at the heart of our success due to

Hall & Woodhouse’s Pensioner’s Lunch is hosted by Mark and Anthony Woodhouse the team working together to provide excellent hospitality for our guests. Our Pensioner’s Lunch recognises this and gives back to our extended team with good company, food and entertainment.” Hall & Woodhouse is a local independent family company that leads the UK market in brewing and hospitality. The company has a collection of around 200 beautiful pubs, stretching from Bristol to Exeter, London to Brighton. The business is dedicated to supporting the Dorset community and its causes, having invested over £30million into the county since 2013, on top of their regular and extensive charity donations. H&W’s Founder’s Day is celebrated annually in June to mark the day the company was founded. To coincide with this celebration, team members and regulars at all of the managed pubs take to the streets to tackle litter in the local areas. H&W’s pubs are hubs in the community and so to celebrate the day, the business helps to keep communal spaces clean and tidy. All participants are rewarded with a slice of cake and a bottle of specially brewed Founder’s Ale. Please visit www.hall-woodhouse.co.uk for more information.

Tastes so good... TOMATO SOUP
As the weather turns slightly colder as we venture into Autumn, there is nothing more perfect than a warming tomato soup. You can add croutons to give it an extra crunch or you can even top it off with basil leaves if you want to dress it up.
Serves 4 Ingredients: 1 tbsp. butter 2 garlic cloves 3 x 400g cans plum tomatoes 500ml vegetable stock 5 soft sun dried tomatoes in oil 1tsp. sugar 125g pot fresh basil pesto 142ml pot soured cream
Equipment: Large pan Method: In a large plan, heat 1 tbsp. of butter (or oil if you prefer) and then crush the garlic cloves and add to the pan. Do this on a low heat for roughly 3 minutes until the garlic has softened. Then, add the chopped tomatoes and the canned tomatoes. Once you have done this, add the sugar, stock and seasoning. Turn up the heat and bring the soup mixture to a simmer. Let it simmer for 10 minutes until the tomatoes have broken down then take off the heat. With a stick blender, whizz the whole mixture together. Add half the sour cream and continue to use to stick blender. Make sure to taste as you go to adjust the seasoning or alternatively add more sugar if you prefer. When it is all blended, serve the soup into bowls. You can either add more sour cream into the bowl or add some pesto on top.

From 15/01/2017 – 14/01/2018, we were the estate agent with the most number of sales agreed in BH12, BH15 & BH17 combined.
