Dear Poole Residents, I wonder if the cold weather which we have been promised will be here by the time you read this? To date we have been really lucky with the mild climate. Certainly, on New Year’s Day, which seems oh so far away now, we had a wonderful stroll at Durdle Door and then a walk back in time at Tyneham Village, all in bright sunshine and very mild temperatures for the time of year. You can read all about it in this month’s issue of your magazine. I do think it is important to get out in the fresh air when we can. How are you doing with your plans for 2019? We booked our holiday last week, which is very exciting. Hayden is going skiing with school in Italy, something none of us have done before, so I am sure he will really enjoy that. He is also busy with his Duke of Edinburgh Award, doing some volunteering work and has joined a running club with his friend. I wish I was that energetic! All in all, we have had a pretty good start to 2019. How about you? Don’t forget that if you need help with the house; renovations, plumbing problems, electric issues, decorating badly needing doing, the garden is unsightly, the trees have taken over, then the local trades people inside your little magazine are here for you. Give them a call and do mention us. We know many of them fairly well now. There are also some new advertisers, so take a look at the index and see who can make your life a bit easier, or help things look and work better for you. The lucky winner of the prize wordsearch last month was Mr R Griffin. Well done to you! Here’s to keeping warm and cosy this winter,
Debbie & Stephen

‘Walk For Hope’ Means Cancer Patients Never Have To Walk Alone Wessex Cancer Trust’s biggest annual fundraising event, Walk for Hope, returns to the New Forest for its third year on Sunday 9 June, and organisers would love more walkers than ever to stride out and raise vital funds for local people living with cancer. About 300 people took part in the 2018 walk, raising over £50,000. New for 2019 is the option of a five-mile route, alongside the ten and 20-mile distances, making the event even more accessible for supporters of all ages and abilities. Philip Wilson, who raised £670 by taking part in the ten mile event in 2018, said: “I work for John Lewis in Southampton which chose Wessex Cancer Trust’s Waterside Cancer Support Centre in Hythe as its charity of the year, and wanted to take part in this event to show my personal support to those living with cancer. What an emotional day it was. I met people who’ve had cancer and won, have cancer and are winning, and someone who has cancer but it’s incurable. I burst into tears Philip Wilson
reading the dedications on people’s backs, I had a moment in the middle when I thought about the many people I’ve known throughout my 38 years whose lives have been affected by cancer, and again when I crossed the finish line out of sheer pride. It was also a personal challenge for me – something to train for and a way of getting fitter and healthier.” Laura Beavis, Wessex Cancer Trust’s events manager, said: “The peace and beauty of the New Forest make it a fitting setting to come together to give hope to friends and family undergoing cancer treatment, to remember loved ones and to support everyone affected by cancer, and we would love 2019 to be the biggest and best yet.” Entrants will receive an official Walk for Hope t-shirt, a fundraising pack, a training and event guide, and membership to a Facebook group where they can meet other participants and share fundraising and training tips. After being cheered over the finish line, walkers will receive a medal and celebrate with well-earned refreshments. Anyone registering before 31st March can take advantage of early bird prices of £10 for a child under 16, £20 for adults, £70 for a team of four and £4 for dogs. Visit www.wessexcancer. org.uk/Event/walk-for-hope-2019 for more information and to sign up, or contact laura. beavis@wessexcancer.org.uk.

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!

An overnight carer who doesn’t need to stay Right at Home Bournemouth and Poole is an award winning home care company.
Its superb home care services don’t stop just because most people have gone to bed, it also offers short overnight popin visits known as Twilight or Mobile Nights for those who need reassurance or specific tasks carried out between 10.30pm and 7am. Our twilight service means: • You get a short visit of up to 20 minutes at a time you choose during the night • You don’t have the imposition of a carer staying in your house overnight with you • Your family is reassured that someone is able to attend to you during the night. • For our existing daytime or twilight clients, we are able to offer an oncall service overnight to assist with the unexpected • For many of our clients, this is a viable and cost effective alternative
to having a carer stay in their house overnight: it costs £30 - £35 compared with £100 plus per night • In many instances, taking advantage of our Twilight service has enabled clients to be discharged from hospital earlier than would otherwise have been possible Our Twilight caregivers are carefully selected and we pay them and treat them well. This means they are experienced and proactive: caregivers who really make a difference. Although many care companies find recruitment really difficult, when we seek applications for our Twilight roles, we really are overwhelmed with excellent candidates. For client safety and to ensure the safety of our staff, Twilight caregivers always work in pairs. Working in pairs ensures they better able to deal with the unexpected. Even so, for our Twilight team, there is always a member of our dedicated and experienced management team on the end of a phone if they need further support.

Likely tasks for a Twilight caregiver could include a safety check, assistance with turning or positioning, toileting and continence care, pressure area checks, assistance with hydration or nutrition or simply a reassuring visit for someone living with anxiety or dementia. We’ve also supported clients who need assistance going to bed at night but find conventional care companies are unable to offer them a late enough visit: such visits attract a bespoke charge and many of our clients have appreciated the increased choice this offers them. If you would like more information about our Twilight service, please contact our friendly team on 01202 280855. You can also get in touch through our website and Facebook page or by emailing bournemouth@ rightathomeUK.com www.rightathomeUK.com/ bournemouth

“My family have used Right at Home since 2014. My father had suffered a stroke and had a major heart operation and as a consequence had mobility and communication issues. At times he could be difficult to manage and required understanding and patience. “His close family lived an hour away and it was essential that a care provider was found to cope with the possibility of a call at short notice and be there for him if needed urgently. Right at Home assessed his needs and allocated care staff that understood my father’s health issues and ensured his care was sensitive and delivered in a way that was supportive to him. This was a great relief to his family. I found all the staff to be extremely helpful and they were always willing to change visiting times, purchase food or drink if stocks were low and administer medication if necessary and at times call for the emergency services if my father was unwell or in need of medical assistance. I cannot thank them enough for the professional service we received whilst my father was at home. “In conclusion, no issue was too big and no problem too small for them to deal with and put the family’s mind at rest. My father has now moved to full time nursing care and is near his family and although he now has residential care he is extremely grateful and complimentary regarding all the staff from Right at Home. Thank you.” Jerry D

Wildlife News
Talking about Wildlife...
Birds of a feather... At about 4pm on a cold winter’s day, the sky may come alive with the shape of birds flocking together, with the sudden deafening sound of chitter chatter filling the air. One of wildlife’s most spectacular sights is approaching – a swooping and swirling murmuration of starlings. It may surprise you to know that starlings are actually becoming a less common sight in the UK, so seeing a flock of them is a wonderful thing. Other winter visitors flocking include birds from Eastern Europe and even species from the far northern regions, such as redwings and fieldfares from Scandinavia. So, why do birds flock? Well, why not! Birds can move easily and quickly, so they make the most of an annual trip to the UK, with an abundance of food, and a warmer climate to enjoy. Flocks of birds are also essential for their survival this time of year, as
Starlings

their main advantage is literally their safety in numbers and they can distract predators with the sheer size of the group, making it hard for them to focus on just one bird when there’s so many, so close together. Large groups of birds can also stay warm, and hunt together, increasing their chances of survival. Dorset Wildlife Trust nature reserves are an excellent place to witness these special wildlife sights this winter, but you are also likely to see some activity in your own garden, by leaving out water and food for birds. Winter is a hard time of year to find food, so they need all the help they can get!

Talbot Village Trust gets behind Dorset Community Foundation’s latest report Talbot Village Trust has provided Dorset Community Foundation (DCF) with a grant of £5,000 towards the publication of a report researching local needs and issues.
projects supported by the Talbot Village Trust and I’m very pleased that the grant towards the ‘Hidden Dorset’ report has allowed us to work even more strategically.”
The analysis report titled ‘Hidden Dorset’ has enabled the charity to delve into the county’s issues including poverty, education, wellbeing, mental health and loneliness. Through this report, DCF aims to offer solutions to these issues and a proposed way forward. This includes championing community groups and charities in Dorset which address the issues highlighted in the report, but are struggling for funding sources.
Sir Christopher Lees, Chairman of Talbot Village Trust, added: “There is a natural synergy between the Trust and DCF due to the fact that we both provide grants to those that require our help in the county. We are really happy to have presented the foundation with the necessary funds to produce their latest ‘Hidden Dorset’ report which will now enable us to target the problems highlighted in their findings together.”
DCF is one of 46 Community Foundations across the country and helps people and organisations to invest in their local community, where it is most needed and will make the most impact. The ‘Hidden Dorset’ report has created an action plan which will work towards overcoming the issues outlined, with the support of the rest of the community.
Talbot Village Trust meets biannually, and will be accepting applications for funding from both previous and new applicants in the area before the Trustees meet in spring of this year. Please go online to our website www.talbotvillagetrust.org for more information.
Jon Yates, Chief Executive of Dorset Community Foundation, explained: “The grant from Talbot Village Trust along with support from our other sponsors, enabled us to produce the second edition of our ‘Hidden Dorset’ report highlighting local needs. The report revealed that we live in a county of contrasts and many local residents, living side by side, are having very different experiences. This valuable information allows us to focus on targeted grant making and raising donations from local people to address these local issues. A lot of our grant making complements

Wills, Property Protection Trusts and Lasting Power of Attorneys We discuss the difference between legal professionals and the benefits of home visits for clients. We are often asked what is the advantage of using a member of the Society of Will Writers and Estate Planning Practitioners (SWW) over a more conventional high street solicitor. There are many good reasons, here are just a few: 1. Members of SWW are fully trained specialists in the field of will writing and estate planning. All have professional indemnity insurance, are regulated and adhere to the SWW code of practice. 2. Members also provide clients with the convenience of attending them in their own home and at a time that is suitable. 3. Taking instructions in the privacy of the client’s home is not only about convenience. In the absence of such a service many
people who need a Will or Power of Attorney’s would go without if they were housebound, elderly or frail and could not get to a high street solicitor. As a member of SWW, Dorset & Wight Wills has a totally transparent pricing policy. Our prices are clearly shown in all our adverts and we will send you a full pricelist with confirmation of your FREE home visit appointment.

The Adventures of Nellie The Dorset Directories Camper Van Tyneham Village on the Isle of Purbeck. Frequently described as a “ghost town” and you certainly feel that when you visit. Poor Nellie, the Dorset Publications Campervan who ‘retired’ earlier this year would have loved the walk back in time in this beautiful, serene, yet sad ambience. In 1943 the Army took over the village, to use the land as their training ground, promising its long-established inhabitants that they could return after the war. That never happened and now still used as an army training ground with tanks and artillery flying by intermittently, the general public is allowed to visit at designated times and days of the year. By chance we took a drive out to the Purbecks on New Years Day, and what a gorgeous day it was. Glorious sunshine, a wonderful crisp English winter’s day. Stephen, Hayden and I set off for Durdle Door to breathe in the “new air” of 2019 and gaze into the vast space beyond the cliff tops. Glistening turquoise blue water shimmering below us with swirling white clouds above us. What
St Mary’s Church, Tyneham
There is a lot of information in the area a wonderful way to start the New Year. The gates at Durdle Door were closing earlier than usual, and I had seen the sign to Tyneham Village on the way. Having never been to the village it seemed a good idea to go and by sheer luck it was open to the public. I would suggest if you want to go, that you check the opening times as you really would not want to be disappointed. You can visit www. dorsetforyou.gov.uk/lulworth-rangewalks to check before you set off. Many of the houses in this former vibrant village are dilapidated, with long lost roofs and broken walls which all adds to this ‘walk back in time’ and mystical feeling which enshrouds the whole area. Nothing bad happened there, except of course that all its inhabitants were taken from their homes and rehoused, to be told they could return. Maybe that is the sadness which hangs over these houses. They never saw their owners again. I believe there are still some inhabitants alive today, but most have regrettably passed away. The scene makes you stop and wonder at who

29 lived there, what were they like, what was life like in those days? Many questions pop up in your mind as you look in wonder. The atmosphere is very quiet and calm. Quite in contrast with the army vehicles, tanks and guns which practice their aim at the targets literally a stone’s throw away when the public are allowed no where near the village. The School House and Church are still fully intact and now little museums to commemorate those who lived there. There are old black and white photos, memorabilia and reminders of our bygone days. Very special. The school is particularly a reminder of the changes which have taken place in the last 60 years. This was a place you did not backflash your elders or question them in any way. Cheekiness was frowned upon. Silence in the classroom was demanded. Yet it also seemed a happy place, one of learning and comradeship, a chance to read about the rest of the world, understand sums and get to know other boys and girls. Personally, I love old churches, and this was does not
The Old School House, Tyneham disappoint either. Idyllic. Set in its own gardens, it is a wonderful example of our many historic buildings. We are so lucky. The village has been featured in the movies too, In 1985 it was used for the filming of Comrades, which depicts the story of the Tolpuddle Martyrs. I have not seen that, have you? Then in 2006 the village was used as the setting for the climax of the comicthriller Angel’s Share by Mike Ripley which I have also not seen. Maybe I will have a look and see if I can find them. I highly recommend a visit to this incredible walk back in time. For us it was a great way to start 2019! By Debbie Corney

Introducing... Individuality Swimming
Individuality Swimming was formed by Kristin Maguire in 2002 to deliver swimming lessons to meet swimmers’ individual needs, as individuals we sometimes need that extra helping hand to achieve what we want in life. Your swimming journey can start with our Aqua Natal classes, following the birth you can move to one of our very popular Parent and Baby classes. We actively encourage both parents to take “baby” swimming, and currently have quite a lot of dads in our classes. Parent and Baby classes are a great opportunity for skin to skin contact with baby which helps in the bonding process. We have the license locally for Aqua Sensory and incorporate aqua sensory into all our Parent and Baby classes. “Aqua Sensory is a unique programme, which provides a rich mixture of sensory exploration and early developmental opportunities.” We also have specific Aqua Sensory classes where water offers a unique sensory world requiring closeness and trust that builds strong emotional bonds. Each lesson has specifically themed activities, developed with a key focus on early developmental skills. The programme is a “stimulation of all the senses” that combines movements, music and songs, signing and discovery play.
Kristin Maguire
The next step in your swimming journey happens between 2.5yrs and 3yrs old when you join one of our non-swimmer classes, you will be in the water without Mum or Dad together with up to 4 other adventurous young swimmers. Most of our non-swimmer classes will have a teacher and an assistant to support you in gaining water confidence. Once you have mastered swimming 5m on your front and your back, your journey then progresses to other group lessons where we start to work on your stroke and stamina. Our Group lessons have a maximum of 5 swimmers and are aimed and delivering swimming lessons to meet the groups needs and the individual’s needs. We also offer One to One and Two to One Lessons for children who want or need it. Another step in your journey is the advanced swimming classes where you will work on stroke technique,

They are swimming with clothes on. professional and fun and have made learning We work in partnership with Poole to swim a total pleasure. All of the teachers Swimming Club running pre-club classes make swimming exciting, whilst continually primarily aimed at swimmers aged six pushing the children forward to achieve their to eight and for those wanting to have very best, not only giving them confidence, an introduction to club swimming and but respect for the dangers that water can pose competitive elements without having to along the way.

Gardening Tips

On Your Plot Now is the time to go undercover It’s still pretty chilly during February but planting seedlings under glass (or plastic) can give you a great start for the season ahead. A bit of time and money invested now in a polytunnel or greenhouse will give you benefits for years to come. Can’t wait for Spring to come? There’s plenty of vegetables that can be started off indoors now.
Jobs for February:-
• Erect a cold frame, polytunnel or greenhouse • Plant out onion sets • Sow tomatoes indoors • Chit seed potatoes • Sow early beetroot and summer cabbages • Plant soft fruit bushes The days are getting a little longer, green shoots are starting to appear and we’re all just itching to get out in the garden now. Just one problem - it’s still likely to be blooming cold! Extremes in weather are typical for this month so even if we do have a warmer spell I wouldn’t be in too much of a hurry to start sowing seeds outdoors. It’s at this time of year that having some undercover growing space is a real boon - not least because it’s so much more of a pleasure working in a protected environment, basking in the glory of those few rays of sun, than it is feeling a gale force wind that seems as it if’s come straight from the arctic! If you don’t have a greenhouse, polytunnel or cold frame then why not think about investing in one now? Get it built in February and you can get a head start on many plants for the season to come. Which is best? Consider the space available - if space is limited then a cold frame, may be a good option. Green houses can offer lots of benefits but are generally not a great idea if your garden is also the kids play area and they can be hugely expensive. On the plus side, they
are not easy to get rid of so if you’re prepared for a bit of work you may be able to pick up a second-hand one very cheaply providing you are happy to dismantle and move it yourself (try free cycle). We opted for a polytunnel, which was very reasonable in price and gave us several weekends of entertainment building it. Follow the instructions carefully, don’t rush it and you’ll need at least 2 of you when it comes to putting the plastic on. With both greenhouses and polytunnels you need to remember that they can become very hot in the summer and ensure that adequate ventilation is available. So, now that you have this great new space what can you plant in it? Early tomatoes can be started off in pots and if you plant some summer cabbages now you can get them established and benefit from a crop by late spring or early summer. Cucumbers, beetroot, leeks and lettuces can also be sown indoors and if you want to try something a little more exotic why not plant some peppers, aubergines and even a melon? This is also a good month to think about soft fruit . Most fruit bushes, trees and canes need time to get established before you start to get a good yield and it is easy to overlook them in favour of crops that give a quicker return. If you don’t have any fruit growing on your plot how about adding just one type of fruit each year? You could plant raspberry canes this month, or incorporate a gooseberry or blackcurrant bush into your border. If you have pot grown strawberries that have spent the winter indoors then place them outside as they will only flower after exposure to cold weather. Plants that have over wintered outside can be brought in now.

Based in Poole on the south coast of the UK, R E Bookkeeping Services was founded by Rebecca Outterside MIAB in 2015. “After leaving school I spent many years in varying accounting roles in a large Poole based manufacturing firm. It was clear this was the field I wanted to work in. Once I had my children a full time job was not a good fit for our work/home balance and the obvious next step was to set up my own business. I have a passion for the job most sole traders and small businesses either do not have the time for or simply do not want to do. I am continually refreshing my skillset to keep up to date with the latest technology and regulations.”
