I do love November and Bonfire Night. It is as special today as it was when I was young. The family fun atmosphere, the burgers, hotdogs and burning wood smells in the air. The cold, wrapped-up feeling with bright lights suddenly appearing all over the night sky. Oh yes! I do hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Please keep your pets safe. Nellie, the Dorset Directories Campervan, was not able to take us to the Eden Project, but we were able to tell her what a great day we had. It is an amazing place and I do hope you enjoy the read. Your little Directory is full of useful local information as well as good local trades people who just love to help you. Stephen and I really appreciated you calling them when you need their services. We have been promoting local businesses for over 13 years now and are still as passionate as ever to keep the local community thriving. The winner of the October prize wordsearch was Mrs V Talbot. Very well done to you! Who will be the lucky winner this month? Wishing you an exciting, reminiscent month of November. Best Wishes,

Charlotte’s sponsored hair cut Charlotte Biss from Ashley Heath contacted Poole Hospital Cancer Treatment Trust saying she wanted to organise an event, with the help of family and friends, to raise funds to help Poole Hospital. The Hospital had helped not only her but also family members and she wished to give something back. The Trust raises funds to assist Poole Hospital by purchasing items of equipment to assist them in the diagnosis and treatment of all forms of cancer. Charlotte proposed having eight inches of her hair cut off and donated, she also arranged for a calender of her brother and his friends to be made and sold, an auction and other events at her home on a beautiful day during the summer. She
raised a wonderful sum of £3,693.77 on the day. What a result - the Trust were delighted by Charlotte’s caring thoughts. Our photos show Charlotte with her new hair style and presenting her cheque to the Chairman of Poole Hospital Cancer Treatment Trust, Stuart Dean and with family members who were involved on the day.

Exclusive 100th Birthday Celebration raises thousands for Dorset Blind Association Dorset Blind Association, a charity helping blind and partially sighted people across Dorset to live happy lives, held their exclusive Centenary Ball took place on Saturday 13th October at the Hilton Hotel, Bournemouth. The prestigious 100th Anniversary celebration raised a phenomenal £22,705 on the night: an incredible amount and also the most that the charity has ever raised in one event. The event, which was kindly sponsored by long-running supporter Blue Sky Financial Planning, saw over 160 guests put in an appearance to celebrate an impressive 100 years of Dorset Blind Association, with guests arriving in their finest dinner suits and posh frocks to a red carpet welcome complimentary glass of champagne, followed by a three-course dinner with wine and coffee. The Centenary celebrations were thoroughly embraced by the guests, who tried their hands at the Viva Las Vegas Casino, danced the night away to the fantastic sounds of Swing Unlimited Big Band and participated in the accompanying raffle and auction. To get the guests up and moving after dinner, a fun and thoroughly entertaining game of Heads or Tails was played to music. Guests had the opportunity to meet the charity’s patrons, Lord and Lady Julian and Emma Fellowes, and DBA President, James Weld. On display was an exhibition of Dorset Blind Association’s extensive history, featuring a timeline of the most important milestones in the past 100 years of this local charity. Jonathan Holyhead, Chief Executive Officer of Dorset Blind Association, said:
“The evening was a wonderful, happy way to help celebrate our centenary. I am absolutely thrilled by the amount raised and I cannot thank people enough for their generosity. This money will go towards the provision of future services and support for blind and partially sighted people across Dorset, so a great many people will benefit from it and on their behalf I want to say “thank you”, again, to everyone who helped make the Ball such a huge success.” The charity have now held their annual Ball for 4 years, and will be returning with their Masquerade theme next year on Saturday 26th October. Get the date in your diary now so you won’t miss out on this spectacular evening. Dorset Blind Association receive no statutory funding, relying wholly on the kind support and goodwill of the local community to keep their vital services going. As part of their Centenary Celebration, the charity are running their 100 Club campaign; a simple but effective ask for 100 people to donate £100 to celebrate 100 years of the charity. If you would like to donate or find out more about Dorset Blind Association, please visit their website at www.dorsetblind.org.uk.

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

Talking about Wildlife...
There’s something wild about Brownsea
Dorset Wildlife Trust is launching a new and exciting project called Wild Brownsea designed to bring people in Dorset closer to nature and needs your help to secure the future of a unique island.
Over the next three years we will look to upgrade the visitor facilities on the island’s nature reserve, while reducing the impact of visitor numbers on the fragile island habitat. By recognising the islands full potential as the perfect place to offer a richer wildlife experience, we will inspire future generations to protect our precious wildlife and wildplaces. But we need to reach our fundraising target by January 2019, for every £1 you donate the wildlife of Brownsea gets £10. For such a small island Brownsea has had an eventful past and now looks to play an equally important role in the future of wildlife conservation in Dorset. It has been gifted by Kings and Queens, set alight and bombed by the Luftwaffe in WWII and even hosted the first Boy Scout camp in 1907. It’s a wonder it’s survived to tell the tale. Luckily for us it has endured and offers Brownsea Island Lagoon

Talbot Village Trust is on board with Maritime Volunteer Service Talbot Village Trust has supported the Maritime Volunteer Service in Poole with a £20,000 grant to purchase and update its RIB and teaching equipment. The Maritime Volunteer Service is a national maritime training charity, dedicated to educating and training people aged 17 and above, to develop their boating skills. The local Poole service teaches its members new skills and qualifications, which are endorsed by the Royal Yachting Association. Members of the charity hold weekly training sessions across five classrooms which are based in the Port of Poole. Each class can take up to 20 people and the sessions cover a range of topics such as first aid and RYA Radar training. The Trust’s funding enabled the classrooms to be upgraded to enhance the service’s education and safety offering.
Russell Lucas-Rowe, Trustee of Talbot Village Trust, added: “As a charitable trust we were happy to supply the Maritime Volunteer Service in Poole with the funding needed to grow their training courses for the future and improve the boats the charity uses. The service reaches a wide range of people from all walks of life, some of which have never been on the water or had any experience with boats. We have heard how the courses introduce people to a new hobby and they also make new friends.” 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 the autumn of this year. Please go to www.talbotvillagetrust.org for more information..
Nigel Barrow, head of the Maritime Volunteer Service Poole unit, said: “We are so thankful to Talbot Village Trust for providing us with the funds needed to enable more people to join our training courses and allow us to update our RIB and equipment. Since we began 24 years ago, this donation has by far been our pivotal moment. It has allowed us to take a step forward in many different ways and we now have the right tools to assist and support more people through our L-R Alan Jones, Richard Rees, Gillian Hill, Steve Dixon, Martin Hale service.”

Wills, Estate Planning and Lasting Power of Attorneys Do you know when you should update your will and check your Lasting Power of Attorneys are in place? A recent survey has revealed that over half of people have not updated their will or organised their Lasting Power of Attorneys. An online poll indicated that while people had started to recognise the importance of consolidating their final wishes, they were unaware of the need to review them. Whilst writing a will is important, the need to review and update them regularly should not be overlooked, particularly after a significant change in circumstance. The results of the poll suggest that many people are unaware of the need to check their will, not to mention the impact which legislative and familial changes can have on the distribution of their estate. Nigel Skilton of Dorset Wills commented. “Any change in circumstances can have a huge impact on your will. Marriage is the big one. There are a lot of
couples out there that made a will together before they married, perhaps when they bought a house together, or had children, and they don’t realise that getting married automatically invalidates any existing will. “As estates fluctuate in value, people need to make sure their will is consistent with their finances. As wealth increases, so does the impact of inheritance tax, which means careful planning is needed to take advantage of available exemptions and allowances. “And no one in this modern age should be without Lasting Power of Attorney’s. A properly constructed will ensures your wishes are met when you are no longer with us. Your Lasting Power of Attorneys ensure your wishes are met while you are still with us but unable manage your own affairs either due to an accident or disease such as Dementia or Alzheimer’s.” There is never a better time than now to check your will.

Stephen and Hayden had a thrilling ride on Zip Wire, while I looked after the bags (a rather good excuse…). Stephen, who does not like heights, tried to get off rather quickly at the end and looked a little white, but I think he enjoyed it! Actually, both he and Hayden were grinning from ear to ear. It gave them that adrenaline rush these boys so yearn. Oh for that cup of coffee… The whole day was truly enjoyable. Tim Smit wanted to create a “symbol of optimism where ordinary people working together could do the nearly impossible.” What an amazing purpose. Nellie was truly impressed when we recounted our day to her. Ever optimistic herself and always happy when we have a family day out, she also grinned from headlight to headlight.

BLUE PLANET II - LIVE IN CONCERT Community News
BOURNEMOUTH INTERNATIONAL CENTRE - WEDNESDAY 13 MARCH 2019 BBC presenter Anita Rani has been announced as host for Blue Planet II – Live In Concert, ahead of a 13-date UK & Eire arena tour in March 2019. A highly-respected TV personality, Anita Rani is a household name as one of the presenters of the BBC One series Countryfile, and regularly appears in and presents the BBC’s One Show. Anita has also presented programmes including Bollywood: The World’s Biggest Film Industry and Watchdog. In 2015 Anita was also a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing. Rani said of narrating Blue Planet II – Live In Concert: “I am really honoured to have the role of host on the Blue Planet II Live In Concert arena tour. The TV series was such a fantastic and enlightening show and has really empowered society to view our oceans and environment with a great deal more care. I can’t wait to stand on stage with an 80-piece orchestra and huge screen showing some of that incredible Blue Planet II footage, it should be an amazing experience!” Accompanied by the original immersive television music score by Bleeding Fingers Music, composed by Hans Zimmer, Jacob Shea and David Fleming, the concert will be performed live by the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, and conducted by Matthew Freeman. Hans Zimmer said of composing the music for Blue Planet II – “The idea is to depict the abundance of life as well as the movements and vibrations of the ocean. By using the orchestra in an unconventional way, we wanted to create ‘living’ chords that ebb and flow throughout the series”. Bringing the wonders and mysteries of the planet’s oceans and its inhabitants to the UK arena stage, Blue Planet II – Live In Concert will present a selection of incredible visuals from the BAFTA Award winning BBC One landmark series, highlighting the amazing natural
wonders of our blue planet in breath-taking detail, projected on a giant state of the art 4K Ultra HD LED screen. The concert will feature exciting visuals from the show including the now infamous Tusk fish, the Crab and Eel rock pool chase and the ‘folklore-turned-reality’ Sea Lion tuna hunt, to mention but a few. The Blue Planet II television show was the most watched TV programme of 2017 in the United Kingdom, reaching 37.6 million viewers. The UK & Eire arena tour are committed to reducing environmental impact. All of the arena venues have long term goals to reduce the use of plastic, lower carbon footprints, reduce energy consumption and improve awareness. During the filming of the Blue Planet II television program, film crews embarked on 125 expeditions, travelled to 39 countries and spent over 6,000 hours of deep sea diving armed with the latest state of the art equipment. Take a deep breath and discover a whole new world hidden beneath the surface of the sea. Hosted by Anita Rani, the Blue Planet II – Live In Concert will allow the audience to share an enjoy this voyage of discovery in an epic live audio-visual experience unlike any other.

Gardening Tips
a beginner’s
GUIDE
Spring Flowering Bulbs
Many bulbs, such as crocus, daffodils and snowdrops will increase naturally in most sites and with different flowering times there will be a succession of interest. If planted in your flower beds, the dying foliage will be hidden by growing herbaceous plants and shrubs. Bulbs are best planted in groups of similar colour and a wonderful show will be created if they are combined with flowers of contrasting colour that bloom at the same time. Try tulips planted with forget-me-nots or wallflowers.
Under trees with no leaves, bulbs will get any available sunlight so will grow happily and give a welcome splash of colour when nothing else has yet woken up. Bulbs can be planted in grass - perhaps in the lawn or a grassy bank - as long as the foliage has time to die down before the first mowing. Grass protects bulbs from mice and squirrels. Try Anemone blanda, chionodoxa, crocus, fritillaria, daffodils (narcissus). Some bulbs are best lifted each year such as tulips and to make this easier you could try planting them in large pots and sinking them in the ground. After the leaves have died down, lift the bulbs and let them dry out. Store somewhere cool and dry and replant in October/November for a spring display. If buying new bulbs, plant as soon as possible and before they start growing. For instance, most daffodils will start producing roots by late summer and other bulbs by midautumn. One exception is snowdrops. These are best bought 'in the green' which means the leaves are already growing and they are then planted and left to spread. Bulbs should always be planted with, at the very least, 2-3 times their own depth of soil above them or even more if the soil is very light. If bulbs become overcrowded, lift them in the dormant season after the foliage has died down. Clean off the soil, leave them to dry then store in paper (not plastic) bags to await replanting.

Light Up Poole festival back to shine again in February After more than 20,000 visitors were charmed and de-light-ed by last year’s first event, the Light Up Poole festival of digital light art is returning to illuminate and transform the historic town centre. The three-night festival, sponsored by Poole BID and funded by Arts Council England, will run from 21 to 23 February and showcase the work of emerging and international artists with a series of light art, digital installations and participation events designed to cast a new light on Poole. And with traders reporting sales boosts of up to 40 per cent last year Light Up Poole is good news for the town’s businesses as well. “Light Up Poole is inviting artists to transform Poole in ways that will positively enhance the town, its businesses and local residents’ sense of civic pride that will impact way beyond three days of art,” says Libby Battaglia of festival directors Audacious. As daylight fades, Poole will provide the dramatic backdrop as artists celebrate Poole’s rich maritime heritage and unique location by responding to the theme of ‘Tides’, blending art and science to explore navigation and the stars and illuminate the enduring magic and mystery of the sea. More than 20 art spectacles will be shown at various locations to accentuate the town’s diverse landscapes, from the harbour’s natural beauty and the industrial expanse of the docks to the Old Town’s historic buildings and the urban setting of the High Street. Justin Hundley-Appleton, Poole BID manager, says: “We’re really pleased to hear that Light Up Poole will be returning in 2019. I think we can all agree that it had a positive effect on the town and I’m sure that the next year will be another interesting event that encourages further
creativity.” A learning programme will again find Light Up Poole artists working with local schools and community groups to create new work in advance of the festival. “Artists have the ability to show us things we think of as familiar in a new light,” adds Libby. “They see the world differently and they can use that creative vision to show people something new about the places they live.” A feature of this year’s festival will be the ‘Window Wonderland’ and, as well as using empty shops, Light Up Poole is keen to persuade businesses to leave the lights on, open the doors, stay open late and invite artists to transform their window space. “Light Up Poole will continue to grow Poole’s reputation as a destination for excellence in digital art and our artists will develop, hone and share technical skills and artistic practice to foster innovation and stretch artistic possibilities on an ambitious scale.” The full programme will be announced in January.

Wines: Choice Desserts Dessert wines have been very popular through the ages and are generally a sweet wine that is enjoyed with, or after a meal. Sometimes served with the dessert of a meal, and afterwards, also, these productions continue to be chosen regularly and form part of the highlight of a dining occasion. Various well-known dessert wines, that are ‘late harvested’, incorporate ‘noble rot’ (Botrytis cinerea). Differing variations of dessert wines can be light in texture and others more powerful. The dessert wines can be sparkling and fortified, also. Castelnau de Suduiraut (France) is a serious production. Fresh and with good balance, this is a very popular dessert wine. Intense fruits, for the mouthfeel, make this exceptional production very popular, for many dining occasions. Late Harvest Vistamar Moscatel (Chile) is a splendid wine from the Limarí Valley, which has perfect conditions for Moscatel grapes. This straw-yellow production has an excellent bouquet, plus a wonderful mouthfeel and palate of juicy fruits. A long finish adds to the pleasures of this very balanced wine. Royal Tokaji (Hungary) is extremely popular. Tokaji dessert wines have been a favourite from the 17th
century, the indigenous grape varieties, combined with the hot summers and, of course, volcanic soils, plus expertise, come together to produce exceptional wines.
Torres Floralis (Spain) is a further popular dessert wine. The Torres family has, since 1946, been making FloralisMoscatel Oro. This is reputedly one of the most charismatic dessert wines of the Mediterranean. The floral bouquet leads perfectly to the mouthfeel and sensual palate sensations. I located these productions and many more, at the award-winning Majestic Wine Company, which is dedicated and committed to customer satisfaction. Great advice, if required, from the very knowledgeable staff, about their wines, spirits, beers, ciders and non-alcoholic beverages, etc., is always available, plus free glass hire and delivery, with free tastings and discounts, also. There are opportunities to meet wine producers at the free tasting events. Online ordering is available, too. www.majestic.co.uk As always, Enjoy!

New Forest Ponies
When you visit The New Forest there are a group of about 5,000 locals that you can’t but help noticing. They have been hanging around for about 2,000 years and what they don’t know about the forest is not worth knowing. We are talking about the wonderful New Forest Ponies of course! All of the ponies found in the forest are wild in the sense they can roam freely but in fact they are owned by New Forest Commoners. The commoners have the right to graze their ponies and cattle on the open forest throughout the year. It is the animals’ grazing which helps to keep the New Forest’s landscape and rare species which you can enjoy today. The ancient tradition of commoning dates back from before the days when William the Conqueror made this area his private hunting reserve and imposed strict laws on the locals. In return for this, the locals were given the rights to graze their animals on the ‘common’ (this being the land which is now known as the New Forest). Think of the New Forest as one large farm! If you have ever wondered why the grass is so neat and tidy here in the New Forest it is thanks to our ponies and cows! In fact, their grazing and browsing supports rare plant species including wild gladiolus and chamomile. This in turn helps the wider ecosystem and encourages other species to thrive here including the Dartford
warbler and the southern damselfly. In fact, the southern damselfly lays its eggs in the water-filled hoofprints of ponies (and cattle) nearby to the streams that pass through the New Forest. Each year, the ponies are rounded up in what are called drifts. Over thirty of these drifts take place during the summer and autumn each year giving the commoners a chance to check the health of their animals and wean and handle the foals.. You will find New Forest ponies dotted all around our National Park. With around 5,000 of them, it won’t be too long until you spot one. There is plenty of nutritious food available for the ponies and you will often find them grazing across the open moorland in small groups. You may see some of our ponies have silver collars on them. When the ponies are rounded up as part of the drift, some of them have these reflective collars put on them to help make them more visible at night time. However, not all of them are caught and some are good at losing them! If you are driving at night and see a reflective collar on a dark road then take it as an indication that there are animals about, some of which you may not be able to see so easily, so please drive with caution.

Naturally good... This is similar to the classic cauliflower cheese but has the added kick of wholegrain mustard which pairs really well with the mature cheddar cheese. The recipe uses a small amount of corn starch/corn flour to thicken the sauce rather than using a traditional roux, this reduces the carbohydrate levels while still making a smooth creamy sauce.
MUSTARD & CHEDDAR BROCCOLI BAKE Ingredients for 4 servings: 1 large head of broccoli 4oz (120ml) heavy cream (double cream) 3 oz (85 g) mature cheddar cheese (extra sharp cheddar cheese) 3 tbsp parmesan cheese (shredded) 1 tsp wholegrain mustard 1 tsp corn starch (corn flour) dissolved in 1 tbsp water Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Method: Preheat the oven to 200°c
First prepare the broccoli by cutting it into even sized
florets. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and add the broccoli. Cook for approximately 3 minutes to slightly soften the broccoli, but not cook it through. Drain and rinse under cold running water to cool. Set to one side while you make the cheese sauce. To make the sauce, place the cream and mustard into a saucepan on a medium low heat, heat the mixture and once it comes to a simmer add the cheddar cheese and stir through until melted. While stirring add the corn starch mixture and continue to cook for a further minute or so until the sauce thickens, add salt and pepper to taste. Make sure that the broccoli is well drained - pat the broccoli dry with paper towels to remove any excess water. Place the broccoli into a baking dish and spoon over the cheese sauce; make sure the broccoli is well covered. Sprinkle over the parmesan cheese and a pinch of paprika if you wish. Place into the oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.
