Dear Poole Residents, Our purpose here at the Poole Directory is to bring local trades and businesspeople to your doorstep to help you find someone who can help you in the home, the garden or indeed for your own health and wellbeing. We have many loyal and trusted people who have been advertising with us for some time. They love to hear from you. The index at the back is a quick reminder of all there is inside. From windows to will writers, from plumbers to health and fitness. They are all here for you. In addition to the local businesses we like to bring you interesting articles and “what’s on” in the area. If you have any suggestions on how we can improve your Local Directory, please feel free to call or email us. If you know of a local trades person who could benefit from more local work, then do get him or her to call too. I am sure we can help them. Daichi The Dashing Dude, the Dorset Directories Campervan, is on the road again. Back in September, which does seem a long way away now, he took us to The Dorset Show! What a great day out that was and Daichi roared his engine in delight as he danced us home. You can read all about it in the pages inside. The lucky winner of the prize wordsearch in October was Pam Brown. Well done to you! Pop your wordsearch in the post, as you never know, it could be you this month! Wishing you a good month of November. Have a great bonfire!
Debbie, Stephen, Hayden & Daichi

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 month. If you wish to visit, the Centre is open daily from 10.30am until 5pm from April to October. Find our more information about the centre: www.dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/ wild-seas-centre By Julie Hatcher

Kaden runs in memory of Hero dad An 8 year-old local boy has raised almost £1,700 for charity after completing the Junior 1.5K at the Bournemouth Marathon Festival in memory of his Dad. Kaden Dugmore from Poole decided to run for Forest Holme Hospice because they had provided end-of-life care for his Dad, Karl, who passed away aged just 39 in August this year. Kaden sacrificed his playtime to train by competing in Sunday Park Runs or in the evenings with his Uncle Bodge, come rain or shine. He said, “I ran the Junior 1.5K in memory of my Daddy who was my Hero and lots of his friends called him ‘Legend’. Daddy loved to run whenever he could squeeze in the time from taking care of me. I know I will make him very proud. This is my first challenge and I hope there will be more.” Paul Tucker, Fundraising Manager at Forest Holme, said, “Kaden is a very special little boy and we are all so Kaden, with his late Dad, Karl
Kaden, with his Bournemouth Marathon Festival Medal
touched by what he has done and absolutely overwhelmed with the amount he has raised. His Dad was clearly loved by many.” Forest Holme Hospice provides end of life care and support to more than 1,000 people each year with advanced cancer and other life-limiting illnesses across Poole, Wimborne and Isle of Purbeck, and Kaden’s mum Kimmie is very grateful for the care he received there. She said, “We would like to thank all of the staff at Forest Holme Hospice for the love, care and respect that you gave to Karl and our family while we were there. The dedication and support that you provide to your patients - there are no words to explain. We were truly touched and so appreciative of everything you did for us.”

Guinness World Record Breaker Inspires St Edward’s Students and Staff Guinness World Record breaker and Sunday Times bestselling author, David Thomas, has visited St Edward’s School, Poole, as part of his tour across the county to help students use their memories more effectively. Former firefighter turned Guinness World Record breaker and Sunday Times bestselling author, David Thomas, visited St Edward’s School to provide a series of motivational presentations as part of an educational tour organised by Strategic Solutions on Friday 27th September. David Thomas, AKA the ‘Memory Man’, worked with students from Years 9 to 13 throughout the day and provided advice on how to use memory techniques in retaining learning over time. The staff of St Edward’s School also had the opportunity to take part in a workshop with David after the school day had finished and learned more about the extraordinary capacity of the human brain. David achieved a Guinness World Record when he recited pi to 22,500 places and holds a world memory record for memorising 100 shuffled packs of playing cards. He is also the author of a best-selling autobiography, ‘Tell Me Why, Mummy’, which recounts how he was abused by his alcoholic mother and her husband as a child. At the age of 16, he committed a series of criminal offences and was expelled from school. He then joined the fire service but struggled to pass his exams. David’s life began to turn around when he watched someone on TV memorise a pack of playing cards. This inspired him to borrow a library book about memory which he used to develop the skills which would lead him to become a world record holder and even
gain a television appearance on Oprah.
Speaking on David’s visit to St Edward’s, Headteacher Michael Antram said: “I would like to extend a huge thanks to Strategic Solutions for coordinating and funding this special educational tour. David is a very inspirational person and we were delighted to welcome him to St Edward’s School. His insights were fascinating, and will have helped our students to harness the amazing power of their brains, in developing skills for life” David said: “I thoroughly enjoyed my time working with the students of St Edward’s School. Thanks to Strategic Solutions investment, I’ve been able to provide local students across the county with life-changing information that they otherwise would not have. I wish the students of St Edward’s every success with their futures, and especially those who have examinations next year.” St Edward’s School is a joint church school between the Roman Catholic Diocese of Plymouth and the Church of England Diocese of Salisbury. Their focused teaching approach has built St Edward’s School a reputation for developing talented young people who are equipped for all aspects of life.

Adventures of Daichi

The Adventures of Daichi
The Dorset Directories Camper Van Daichi The Dashing Dude, our muchloved campervan, has been missed. Certainly, one lady was quite upset that he had not taken us anywhere in the summer as we were too busy sailing the ocean waves around Alaska. Daichi himself had felt quite jilted and although he seemed ‘happy’ we had enjoyed ourselves, there was that little ‘frost’ in the air when he acknowledged ‘how pleased he was for us’. These Japanese vans do have a way about them… Well, he was now determined to make it up and he took us somewhere we had never been before – The Dorset Show. Yes! The Dorset Show. Can you believe it, we have never been? How ridiculous is that? I am sure that Daichi thought he could compete with all those immaculately dressed stallions. He rather fancied himself being groomed and brushed down. Or maybe it was all those jodhpurs and long leather boots, but that is going a little far as it is a family magazine after all. Daichi, really. The day was filled with blue
The skill of the scurry racing
Amazing final jump of the six-bar event skies and some of our wonderful fluffy white clouds. My Mum and Dad came with us as Mum was celebrating her 75th Birthday and my Dad of 84 drove all the way from Hull for the special weekend. What better way than for Daichi to take us all out? One thing to mention here is that when Daichi was kitted out with all his new (designer of course) interior, we made sure there were three seats in the back, not two. We find this useful as the three of us can go out, with another couple. It also means at night when camping, the bed is wider when it rolls out, though the cupboards are a little narrower, so we had the fridge fitted under the back seat to give us more space for the cupboards. Clever! Off we all set. Daichi grinning from wheel to wheel. It was busy! The car park was full. On arriving in the showground there were thousands of people walking around the stalls, eating and drinking at the many food places and looking for bargains in the market area. We love the

29 atmosphere at these events. There is something quite special about our English country shows and this was no exception. We were lucky enough to have tickets for the member’s lawn, so we found perfect seats right next to the fence to watch the horses and their riders give us a show of their lives. They all looked so handsome and fine. The winning jump of the six-bar event was a spectacular 5 foot 10 high! We have a photo of the last leap. It was so exciting. “The Osborne Refrigerators Double Harness Scurry Class” was such fun. Nearly as nifty as Daichi on those country roads, the horse speeded between cones, in and out, left and right, to be the fastest to the finish line with no faults. That must be really exhilarating to take part in. Daichi is looking into it… oh oh… The elegance of the “Coaching Marathon Class” in comparison showed Daichi the sedate life of the rich in the past. It evoked images of young ladies whiling away their hours in their long lacey gowns, waiting for their Prince to sweep them off their feet. Daichi is getting all romantic now. Beautiful, graceful, stylish and wonderful to watch. The judges really have to
The end of a fantastic day
Now Daichi... don’t go getting ideas! know what they are looking for to pick a winner from such a polished class. Quite different and very much in contrast was the “Adrenaline Tour Motorbike Stunt Show”. How skilled are these riders in flying their bikes high in the air, screaming off on two wheels, flipping their machines at right angles. Wow. I really am hoping that Daichi does not get any ideas on this, or we may feel like we are all at sea again! What a fantastic day. Of course, a ‘little’ shopping had to be done and Dad bought me my Birthday present (shush don’t remind him it is not til December…). A lovely handcrafted bird bath. I also bought a leather door stop which I am rather fond of. Mum and Dad loved the whole day too. Daichi was as proud as punch that we enjoyed ourselves so much. On the way home I did see him looking admiringly at himself, at the reflection in a shop window. I am sure he saw the muscles of a Mustang or was it the strength of a Steed? Daichi was in his element. So were we. Where will he take us next I wonder! By Debbie Corney

Cadet Serjeant Erin Blake receiving the CVQO Award
Erin Blake was fortunate to enhance her skills on board the recently decommissioned Lord Dannatts tall ship during the Round Britain Challenge to commemorate 100 years
since the end of the First World War. The ship ventured to London, Edinburgh, Belfast and Cardiff to raise funds for the wounded, injured and sick veterans. Blake Owen Mason being awarded has worked hard promotion to Lance Corporal for this award and it adds another string to an already impressive bow, She is now using those skills to help guide our younger Cadets to success whilst being an aspirational leader. Also this month Parkstone Detachment was visited by the new Company Commander, Captain Brooks, to award the promotion of Lance Corporal to Owen Mason. With a high level of determination and regular attendance, it enabled Mason to quickly work through the Army Proficiency Certificate syllabus and gain eligibility for promotion. Mason has also shown willingness to learn whilst gaining confidence to inspire the other Cadets to achieve their very best, whilst aspiring himself, to be a better leader. Mason has taken his first step on the promotion ladder allowing him to build his transferable skills which can be a valuable asset in school and in the work place. 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.

Plant of the month Crocus
During Autumn, we think we will only see colourful flowers again when Spring returns but that’s not strictly true. The Crocus is a genus of plant in the Iris family and many bloom in Spring and even during Autumn and Winter! They come in many different colours such as violet, blue, yellow and white. There are also many different varieties of Crocus including niveus and serotinus. They’re native to woodland areas and easy to care for and very low maintenance. They prefer well-drained soil and can grow up to 4inches tall.

Going Green... Looking after our planet is essential. It has become more and more apparent that we need to care for our environment. With that in mind I took an honest look at how much plastic I use on a daily basis. What could I replace by an eco-friendly alternative? I have been amazed by what I saw. Toothpaste. Traditional toothpaste is not only stored in environmentally damaging plastic, but it contains chemicals which could be damaging to our own health too. The toothpaste opposite is natural and contained in glass, which can be reused. I chose to try the tea tree version. Known for its powerful healing properties, throughout history, Tea Tree leaves have been used to heal cuts, treat burns, and as a topical application for infections. This toothpaste is a paste-like clay, so it takes a little adjusting, but I have to say I have found it really good and much less harsh on my aging gums. The other alternative is the peppermint toothpaste tablets. With a more traditional flavour these would be ideal for when we are travelling. As they are not liquid, they will not take up any hand luggage space, in those little plastic bags either! Double bonus. Of course, I needed a plastic free
toothbrush to go with it, so the sustainable beechwood version opposite is perfect! There is a children’s one, soft bristles or medium. Suitable for all the family. Stephen, my husband has tried the shave bar recently and proudly showed me his silky-smooth skin after shaving the other day! He really likes this product, so we highly recommend it. Again, it is natural for the skin, no chemicals and it is in a plastic free container. A natural handmade shaving soap, for a traditional wet shave, so wave goodbye to harsh gels and foams, and say hello to a gently soothing and creamy lather. A winner to us. Stephen hasn’t tried the classic shave with the Bambaw’s stylish double edge safety razor yet. I may have to work on that one! We can all make small changes, one step at a time, that will make a huge difference to our planet, our wildlife and our oceans… and indeed better for our own health too. If you would like to know more about the products please feel free to visit my website at debbiegoesgreen.wikaniko.com or give me a call on 01202 894397 as I would love to hear from you.

Dorset Chamber President Joins British Chamber Board Current President of Dorset Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and Founder of Communications agency, Liz Lean PR, has been appointed to the Board of the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) during the organisation’s AGM in London yesterday.
Following an interview and validation process by the BCC’s Nominations Committee, composed of representatives from across the Chamber network and the BCC Board, Liz’s appointment was recommended along with two other candidates from Glasgow and the East Midlands. Liz is looking forward to the challenge. She says; “I am really proud to be joining the BCC board which has such an important role in representing the voice of business across the UK, especially in a challenging period of our history, as the world of business has a critical influence on society. It is going to be an excellent opportunity to learn from the bright minds around the table and help steer
the future of this 159-year old organisation representing over 75,000 members both here and overseas. “The appointment is a fantastic way for Dorset to be heard at national level and it also enables Liz Lean PR to be exposed to wider ways to support our clients across the UK and internationally. Alongside my Dorset Presidency I see it very much a ‘win, win’ for all.”

Tastes so good... CHICKEN PIE
This is a delicious recipe which is perfect for those chilly nights in. You can serve this with almost anything from chips or a healthier alternative or vegetables. And any excess pastry can be used as decoration on top.
Ingredients for 4 servings 4 tbsp. butter 1 tbsp. flour 200ml chicken stock 3 tbsp. double cream Sprig of tarragon Squeeze of lemon juice 1 handful button mushrooms (cut into quarters) 1 medium green pepper (sliced) 400g cooked chicken (shredded) 225g ready-made puff pastry 1 medium free-range egg (beaten)
Equipment: Saucepan (2), large oven proof dish Oven: Gas Mark 6, 200C Method: Melt half the butter in a saucepan before adding the flour. Cook on a low heat for 3 minutes. Pour in the chicken stock and turn up the heat and stir continuously until it is simmering. Then add in the cream and gently simmer until thickened.
