Royalty Revered Celebrating 150 years since the opening of the Royal Albert Hall. It’s somewhat unfair that a landmark anniversary of the Royal Albert Hall’s long legacy won’t be celebrated on the exact date. In fact, when David Arnold – he of Bond, Independence Day and Sherlock soundtrack fame – takes to the stage in mid-July, it will be over three months late, given the South Kensington venue first opened its doors on March 29th 1871. The spectacular dome, which measures 20,000ft, sits above an auditorium that boasts a capacity of 5,272 people and is, of course, named after Prince Albert, the husband of Victoria. When the Covid-delayed celebrations begin, the Royal Albert Hall, in 2021, benefits from incredible acoustics, stateof-the-art sound systems, impeccable lighting and firstclass stage technology, yet so many other parts of the original venue still remain untouched, and that’s what gives it its unique charm.

The venue was funded out of the proﬁts from London’s Great Exhibition. Now Grade I-listed, it cost £200,000 to construct and took four years to complete. The ﬁrst performance was by Charles Gounod on May 8th 1972, as his orchestra played Handel’s Messiah. In respect of that landmark event, Messiah has been played every Good Friday afternoon at the venue since. Electric lighting was introduced shortly after the hall opened, and over the years arts and science exhibitions have utilised the space, with more events actually held in the outer rooms – over 400 per year – than the main auditorium. Tradition has always been at the heart of things – there were Sunday concerts for six decades up to the end of the World War II, and the Proms has a permanent place in the hearts of traditional music devotees.

The hall was partially bombed by the Germans in 1942, while moves to cure the ‘Albert Hall echo’ were put in place in the 1960s, with acoustic diffusing discs being hung from the ceiling. A £40m refurbishment programme was undertaken in 1996 and these days the Royal Albert Hall continues to promote various education and outreach projects. It’s a charity in its own right, and even boasts a performance database that lists each of the artists who have appeared at an estimated 30,000 events since 1871. Attendees are treated to unobstructed viewing, some incredible VIP boxes, private rooms, and awe-inspiring auditorium, and a gallery around the perimeter that houses bar and restaurant space. What’s more, one special person, each night, will ﬁnd themselves with the unexpected privilege of sitting on seat 87, row 11, under the K stalls in the main auditorium. It is an unassuming seat, but one that rests on the foundation stone that was laid by Victoria way back in 1867.

ROUNDABOUT Roundabout RINGWOOD RINGWOOD & FORDINGBRIDGE

NOW and THEN Article and photo kindly supplied by Mary Baldwin

Kimbers 1 High Street, Ringwood Taken in c.1960

The present three-storeyed building 1 High Street was erected about 100 years ago. It replaced a much smaller shop which was similar to the eastern half of the old Ghrimes shop next door. The owner was Frank Godden, a butcher and fruiterer who lived in Gravel Lane. This business, which was taken over by his son, also named Frank, lasted into the 1960s.

and has sold a variety of different products. Most recently it was the RSPCA Ashley Heath Animal Centre charity shop until last year it became Kimbers carpet shop. The circular metal seat outside the shop was erected in 1993 by Hampshire County Council as part of their enhancement of the High Street. The seat features cut out images which represent aspects of the town crest; leaping stags and oak leaves symbolise Ringwood’s links to the New Forest, and salmon and water the River Avon.

Ramsay’s Revival Top chef Gordon Ramsay outlines the food trends we should look out for in 2021. It says a lot that in a Twitter post published on New Year’s Day, Gordon Ramsay decided to use the opportunity to tell the year 2020 to, well… let’s just say ‘not come back’. While the global Covid pandemic has turned a lot of us into accomplished, skilled, proﬁcient home cooks (in our own minds, at least, if not in reality), the effect it’s had on the chefs, staff and restaurateurs of the world’s best restaurants has been less positive. Most establishments have endured almost a year of closure – Ramsay’s portfolio of high-quality restaurants included. It’s a factor that has led to something of an accidental food revolution in our homes. “With every disaster there is an upside and a downside,” he says. “While a lot of industries have been torn apart by Covid, it has been the making of others – think about the way we buy stuff over the internet, and home delivery of goods. Think too about cleanliness and hygiene… things that have always been of interest to me as a chef – we’re now all obsessed with it.

“In the same way, the fact we’re not going to restaurants hasn’t meant we’ve stopped eating – instead, people are discovering and developing new ways to enjoy food at home. As someone passionate about food, I can only support that; even if it’s cost me millions!” he says, referencing

have really stepped up in terms of efficiencies, and it’s those changes that will serve them well in future,” he says. “We’ve all had time to sit back and redo the maths on what works for our businesses and what doesn’t, and that’s going to be of real value going forward.” As far as creativity goes, the 54-year-old remains as ebullient as ever. “I also see people becoming braver with their flavours,” he continues. “We’ve all felt hemmed in, repressed, even imprisoned in their lives at the moment. You will always get a dramatic reaction to that, and I think we’ll see that across a number of areas, food included. I’m expecting a real explosion of creativity, across the board. the huge losses suffered during the repeated lockdowns the UK has suffered. “It sounds ridiculous to say that, but producers, hosts, retailers and everyone else involved in getting food from field to plate

“I’ve also really enjoyed the extra time I’ve had to interact with lovers of food – it’s been a really unexpected thing that’s come out of Covid, and I think we’ll all be talking more and sharing more over the coming year, and beyond.”

Dazzling Damselflies! Watching damselflies dance through the air is one of the quintessential experiences of summer, and something many of us look forward to every year. Garden ponds are important habitats for damselflies, and creating even a small body of water on your patch is a great way to attract them to your home. You can find lots of helpful guidance on making a wildlife pond at www.wildaboutgardens.org.uk Here are some damselflies to look out for as the weather gets warmer... Beautiful Demoiselle Beautiful demoiselles are large damselflies, usually found on small, fast-flowing rivers. Males have metallic blue bodies and striking, dark wings, and they show them off with a flitting, fluttering flight in a bid to attract mates. Females are slightly different with brown wings and green bodies. Common Blue Common blue damselflies are easy to find as they are drawn to almost any water body – they are often the dominant damselfly species at large lakes and reservoirs. Males are pale blue with bands of black along the body, and females are either blue or a dull shade of green. Azure Damselfly Azure damselflies are very common around

Banded Demoiselle

most water bodies, and can also be found in grassland and woodland. They are also a familiar garden resident, particularly visible in the warmer months. These damselflies are pale blue with bands of black along the body, and the defining black segment on their back is U-shaped. Banded Demoiselle Banded demoiselles are large damselflies that live along the edges of slow-flowing rivers and canals among lush, damp vegetation. They can also be found near still ponds and lakes, though typically those near to rivers. Their name derives from the distinctive ‘fingerprint’ mark on the males’ wings. We were delighted to see southern damselflies thriving at Hockley Meadows nature reserve last summer, and we hope to see them again this year. Through careful management, we have created an environment in which these rare and beautiful damselflies can thrive. We couldn’t have done this, or secured Hockley Meadows at all, if it weren’t for the support of the community and generous gifts in wills from local wildlife lovers. Alice Ashcroft

Understanding Investments: What can you expect from us?

There are no words that do justice in describing the past 15 months living in the midst of a pandemic world. The human cost has been tragic on many levels and will never be forgotten. Generally human kindness has shone through but can the same be said from businesses? Going forward, what can businesses learn and what should you expect from them? I feel very fortunate that the industry I work in has been able to continue and be relatively unaffected. We abided by lock-down rules for our office, and adapted our services to include remote, electronic support when necessary. Service to our clients was unaffected, albeit delivered in a different manner. In fact, we’ve been in contact with our clients more than ever during the depths of the post-pandemic stock market declines as we believe worrying times like that are exactly when our clients need us the most. I have a huge amount of sympathy for businesses who have not been able to open, or those in industries which have seen a dramatic drop in demand for their services. But I have also been very frustrated by businesses who seem to have forgotten the importance of their clients be it delaying refund money, poor service or now increasing prices beyond what is reasonablefundamentally taking advantage of their customers. As we get back to some kind of normality, how can we help? 1. Our Client Charter states: “We will always look after your best financial interests and treat you fairly”. We never forget that and are on your side! 2. Local, accessible office. The pandemic has shown that we can deliver our service remotely when necessary, and it works. However, for the majority of our clients (aged 50 plus) face to face advice is preferable and having a local office is critical in delivering that service. At a time when most financial institutions are closing offices to save money (aka increase profits further), we focus on what our clients want and need. 3. High quality, independent financial advice. Stewart and I are both Chartered Financial Planners and Fellows - the highest qualifications

in our industry. We have many years of experience and Howard Goodship deliver impartial advice due to our independent adviser status. We often work with our client’s own accountants and solicitors to deliver joined-up advice, and we are SIFA Pro members (SIFA is affiliated to the Law Society). 4. Access to world class investment management. Our independence is the key. We act as the informed buyer for our clients, filtering the myriad of investment products & providers through a robust due diligence process. Our clients benefit from us offering best of breed investment solutions from a wide range of highquality financial institutions. 5. Integrity and trust. We never take your trust for granted, nor the responsibility you place in us to manage your money and provide suitable advice. This is a serious business, and we treat it with the attention and importance it deserves. We are “Dementia Friends” and in March 2021 we won “Best Adviser Firm for Vulnerable Client Care” at the National Professional Adviser Awards. 6. Excellent, attentive personal service. Our clients are individuals with varying demands. We are able to deliver a very personal service to all of our clients and aim to impress. What can you expect from us? Integrity, trust, reliability and value. Do you feel every business you work with offers you the same? My colleague Stewart Sims-Handcock and I are available for a free initial, no obligation chat to discuss your personal requirements. Howard Goodship is an Independent Financial Adviser with Lonsdale Wealth Management, 5 Fridays Court, Ringwood.

QUIRKY

BY MICA BALE

As the summer months begin to unfurl, Hampshire continues to be one of the loveliest counties in Britain. Whether you are enjoying a staycation and exploring new areas of our county or enjoying old favourites, why not enjoy another delve into Hampshire’s quirky heritage. From arguably one of the most historic villages in the county to one of the largest tree collections in the world, here are ﬁve more interesting facts from around Hampshire. Did you know that the Duke of Wellington, Sir Arthur Wellesley himself sealed the fate of many Andover residents when he presided as judge over a certain trial? In 1830, the Swing riots began to come to a head with countless agricultural workers protesting harsh conditions. On the 20th of November 1830, the Taskers Waterloo Ironworks at Upper Clatford was attacked. Several days of riots continued until eventually many were captured and the Duke of Wellington, as Lord Lieutenant of Hampshire, was eager to show his strength, sentencing many to others and others to the harsh transportation punishments. He later commented that, “Upon the whole this commission has worked well and has already produced a good eﬀect and I hope that its consequences will be long felt.”

With a regal history that dates as far back as 1086 as part of the Crown’s lands, Kings Somborne has always been an ancient favourite and was even once owned by John of Gaunt who reportedly had a palace built in the village. Although royal attention has dwindled somewhat today, Kings Somborne is a living snapshot into its fascinating history with roughly one hundred grade listed buildings and is an ideal location for walks taking in the village’s rich heritage.

Did you know that there has been a light shining at Hurst Point Lighthouse since at least 1786? Located on the western edge of the Solent, the lighthouse has been an important beacon for several centuries. Throughout its life, the lighthouse has constantly adapted with frequent additions and changes of the position of the light. With expansions from the nearby Hurst castle it became apparent that the position of the light made it diﬃcult for ship’s captains navigating the treacherous waters that surround Hurst Point.

Were you aware that the Sir Harold Hillier Gardens at Romsey is home to more than forty thousand trees and shrubs? The brainchild of visionary horticulturist Harold Hillier, the gardens were gifted to Hampshire County Council in 1977. Hillier was born into a family of gardeners and spent great portions of his time reconfiguring the botany that had suffered and declined following the first world war. The gardens he created surround Jermyn's House, the home he purchased which interestingly was used as a smallpox hospital in the 18th century. Today the gardens are recognised as one of the largest collections in the UK and further afield and is a world respected collection for rare breeds.

Did you know that Dylan Thomas was a Hampshire resident for some time? His parents in law lived in Blashford and it was here that, after he was introduced to Caitlyn, he lived with her after they married. Their relationship was of course tumultuous to say the least and it was no better with his mother-in-law. In fact, in a notebook that was discovered years after his death, the poet commented that “This ﬂat English country levels the intelligence, planes down the imagination, narrows the a’s, my ears belch old wax and misremembered passages of misunderstood music, I sit and hate my mother-in-law, glowering at her from corners and grumbling about her”! Despite the harsh criticisms of Hampshire, the notebook contained many remarkable works. No doubt the county did much to inspire, whatever Dylan Thomas would say!

Swarm season is upon us original nest the bees will have eaten a lot of honey which keeps them calm and peaceful. So whilst a huge group of them together may look rather threatening, they will not do any harm. For beekeepers it’s a very busy time right now because we are in swarm season. A colony of bees will naturally swarm when the hive becomes overcrowded and the Queen Bee (together with several thousand workers) decides to find a new home. This can happen any time between the end of March and the end of July, normally on a warm, sunny day between 11am – 4pm. A swarm temporarily settles on a branch of a tree or in a bush or sometimes on a wall or a fence within 50 to 100 metres of its original nest. It then stays there until scouting bees have found a new nest site (usually a hole in a tree). The swarm will then fly directly to the new nest site and make a new home. Swarms are normally noticed when they are hanging in a tree or bush. A swarm looks like a large teardrop varying in size from a rugby ball to something 2-3 times that size (see the photo to the left). Generally bees in a swarm are not aggressive. Before they left their 30

Remain calm and find your nearest swarm collector by going on the BBKA website, www.bbka.org.uk. You will find a swarm collector map which will put you in touch with an association that’s local to you. If you’re able to take a photo of the swarm, that would be useful together with its exact location and how high up it is. A beekeeper will come and safely collect the swarm and rehome it. If you live in the Ferndown, St Leonards, St Ives or Ringwood areas, we would be happy to come and investigate. Just call Ian Warmer on 07803 136730. If you’re interested in bees and what we do as beekeepers, please check out our website www. honeybyian.com or you can find us on Instagram @honey_by_ian

h lt a e H & wellbeing Why getting your head down may be the best thing you can do for your health and wellbeing. Sleep: the science We all know how valuable a good night’s sleep is… or rather, how bad we feel when we don’t get one! The value of rest is recognisable in the fact we spend a third of our lives in bed. And sure enough, most of us can reel off a good number of the benefits of sleep – sharpness, mood enhancement, the fending off of low moods, a lowering of blood pressure, better immunisation, improved memory, stress reduction and even maintaining of body weight.

The environment First, consider what’s around you. Studies have shown that smartphones and device usage is on the increase and it’s the ‘blue light’ 32

emissions from these that can delay the release of sleep-inducing melatonin, as well as resetting the body’s internal clock (circadian rhythm). Moving away from screens earlier – scientists recommend at least an hour before you plan on going to sleep – will limit the bouts of LCD exposure which excite brain stimulators, therefore helping you maximise sleep efficiency. Remember as well the need to moderate room temperature, as well dimming lighting and removing excess noise around you. And while the act of sleeping is more important than anything you may consume in the lead-up to it, it goes without saying there are certain food and drink items that will hamper effective rest. While alcohol may enable you to drop off quicker, it’s disruptive to your sleep in the second half of the night, not least if you are in a state of dehydration. Consider as well the impact sugar, carbonated drinks and caffeine might have on the body at a time when it is trying to wind down. An old favourites such as Horlicks, with a soothing malt content, has been scientifically proven to aid rest. The routine… and a plan Scientific studies have shown that regularity and repetition is the important where sleep is concerned. Your body feeds off continuity and structure in its waking hours, so why should things be any different when it comes to sleep? Sleep doctors have begun recommending a trial week of ‘regular as clockwork’ bedtimes, with long rests and the adoption of healthy habits. They then invite people to see if they feel improved in all those physical and psychological aspects. In many cases, the results have gone to show why getting your head down may be the best thing you can do not just for your health and wellbeing, but your sanity too.

Have you heard the news? Hearing loss affects very many of us at some stage in our lives. We often try to ignore it, or deny it but the truth is it can be very frustrating, not only for the person with hearing loss, but also for their friends and family. Fortunately, it is frequently very straight forward to resolve. Local audiologist Heather Cowell says “In some cases a reduction in hearing can be down to something as simple as a buildup of ear wax. For others fitting a pair of the latest, tiny hearing devices can be a life changing moment.”

Heather has been serving the health needs of the local community for more than 30 years both as a practice nurse at the local GP surgery and, for the past 10 years, as a hearing healthcare professional. Her new business 2County Hearing, set up with her audiologist husband Simon, aims to offer a truly personal service for all things hearing related. Appointments are available at their new centre in Verwood and they are delighted to offer a home visit service within a 15 mile radius. Call Heather today on 01202 985500.

Calling a spade a spade Your ultimate guide to the tools your garden will thank you for digging out this summer. SPADE (AND SHOVEL) Tough, unrelenting, sharp at the base, angular and with ledges for your feet so you can push down deep into the soil, the spade is the ultimate garden tool. The shovel is, in many ways, the reﬁned cousin. More rounded, it comes in different materials and caters for a wider range of jobs (such as moving snow), given that digging deep into the earth is not the primary goal. FORK (AND TROWEL) These two work perfectly together in removing soil and plant matter from smaller areas, such as ﬂower beds and pots. HOE A simple metal plate at the end of a stick, the hoe is used to remove surface debris in small areas. It nudges just under the surface in scraping away leaves, small weeds and bits of dead plant matter, leaving your soil turned over and looking fresh. LAWN EDGER Perhaps the most satisfying garden tool of them all, the lawn edger drives down into

lawn edges that are suspended above then beds, leaving an impeccable line between the two.

without anything left behind. The extended handle limits bending down, too.

COBRAHEAD WEEDER The cobrahead weeder looks like a torture implement dating back to the medieval ages, yet its popularity is now only coming to the fore. It uses a cultivating blade at the end of a long, hooked handle, meaning it can plough furrows, remove weeds from underneath and even hack its way through thatch. CLAW WEEDER This weeder offers a pincertype movement at the end, meaning it grabs right at the base of the weed, yanking it out of the ground by the roots

RAKE From debris to leaves, removing fruit from beneath trees to perhaps just picking up weed seedlings so as to allow water to permeate back into the soil, the humble rake actually comes in many different forms and will serve you well all year round. PRUNER Modern pruners have become real technical works of art, with adjustable settings that will shape to the size of your hand. Look for a pair that have cushioned grips around the handle, to save on late-afternoon hand ache! PRUNING SAW The pruning saw does the same job as a pruner, albeit with a bit more strength and power. Capable of tackling branches without the need for a full-on saw, it’s a compact yet extremely powerful piece of kit.
