From ballerina to racing driver - Emilia is waving the flag for Julia’s House! male-dominated environment. But more and more females are joining the racing world, which is fantastic!” She swapped ballet for motor racing when she was 16 years old, and now Emilia Vincent is waving the flag for Julia’s House Children’s Hospice in the car she helped to build. The former Poole High School student is racing in the Castle Combe Hot Hatch Challenge Series this year. Emilia spent two years building the car along with her fellow student team for her degree in Motor Sport Engineering at Wiltshire College and University Centre, and was later chosen as one of the team’s racing driver. The 24-year-old hopes to raise awareness for Julia’s House with her fast-paced hobby and will be displaying the charity’s logo on her car in every race. Emilia says, “I want to help the charity and the families that are struggling in any way I can, so I’m racing for Julia’s House and I hope that spectators will acknowledge the logo on the car and want to find out more and make a donation, or do some fundraising themselves.”

Claudia Hickin, Fundraiser for Julia’s House, says, “We were so pleased when Emilia got in touch to ask if she could race for Julia’s House – I don’t think our logo has ever moved so fast! We feel very lucky to have the support of Emilia and her family, and it’s a wonderful way to raise awareness of our care for seriously ill children and their families in Dorset and Wiltshire.” Emilia is competing in the Castle Combe Hot Hatch Challenge Series, with two more races to go this season on 30 August and 18th September.

Inspired by Formula E team principal, Susie Wolf, Emilia put her ballet shoes away and decided to start karting with her father as her mechanic. “I’ve since made the leap to car racing and I absolutely love it. Younger girls might be put oﬀ seeking a career in motorsport or competing themselves, as it’s seen as 8

Default Davina Presenter Davina McCall on why she always comes back to two things – tip-top body toning, and terrestrial TV!

Just thinking about Davina McCall’s curriculum vitae makes even the most energetic person feel tired. The energetic presenter has spent three decades at the top of terrestrial entertainment, presented countless gameshows and BRIT Awards ceremonies, produced 14 ﬁtness DVDs, appeared as a guest on shows including Would I Lie to You?, Celebrity Juice and even Question Time, was a judge on The Masked Singer, and even raised over £2.2m for Sport Relief.

former heroin use continues to rack up the column inches. She worked a number of unusual jobs in her youth, including a brief spell as a backing dancer. Perhaps her energetic start in front of audiences is at the

From modest beginnings on MTV and Eurotrash, she truly leapt into the limelight with Big Brother, and there followed a decade in the surrounds of one of the UK’s most famous houses. In the process she became the face of a new genre of reality television, and a household name in the process. “I feel I have evolved in terms of the person I am and the work that I do, but at the heart of it I’ve always been fascinated by British TV and entertainment,” she begins. “I think that’s why so much of my work comes back to that.”

heart of why her run of ﬁtness programmes have been so successful.

Raised by her grandparents, McCall spent her early twenties on the party scene, and her

“I used to dance in nightclubs nonstop, then stopped going out so much, put on a tonne

of weight and did bits in the gym,” she remembers. “I was a ‘read a magazine on the treadmill’ person.”

And yet, as a child, Davina might not have been too sporty - “I did a bit of ballet but I had to leave in the end because I couldn’t keep my tummy in and my bottom in at the same time! Beyond that I didn’t even think about getting ﬁt till I was about 30.

While we can’t all morph into ﬁtness fanatics, it’s hard to deny a spare seven minutes here and there during the day, even with the most hectic of schedules. “Sometimes that’s all it takes to free up your limbs and keep circulation going,” she says. “I fear the fact lockdown held a lot of people back from pursuing normal exercise, and now we’re heading back towards normality, there is a real need for people to repair the physical and mental effects of the past year, and I pray that happens.”

Classic Novels For You... Continued! We all know Dickens

The Pickwick Papers

Everyone must have read, or seen a film or TV programme (or series) based on, at least one novel by Charles Dickens. He is unavoidable.

For probably a new Dickens experience, try The Pickwick Papers, the early novel that first made Dickens famous. I am going to give a few ‘spoilers’ on this one so that you know what you are letting yourself in for.

For that reason this fifth article will be slightly different. I shall suggest a novel but I would quite understand it if you preferred to go back to a Dickens work that you think you know. I deliberately use the expression ‘think you know’ because my whole argument in this series is that there is so much more to these novels than you think. You may well remember the plot, I agree. You may well remember some of the characters. You may even remember the theme. It is highly unlikely that you remember all of it.

Reading Dickens Now You are older now than when you first read them (unless you are, say, a student currently reading them). You have experienced a whole lot of life – the older you are, the more you have experienced. You will therefore approach any novel as a slightly different person. You really will! Try it!

The main characters are middle-aged men, mostly self-centred, going on what today we would call ‘a few days off’. It is one of the funniest books I have ever read. In the first chapter (one of the most difficult in the novel), Dickens makes the men, especially Pickwick, deliberately pompous. What might a group of men out for a laugh get up to? Read, and find out.

Tess of the D’Urbevilles In the previous article, I suggested that you caught up with Tess. The obvious point of interest is the subtitle that Hardy gave the book – “A Pure Woman”. • Firstly, do you agree that she is ‘pure’? What are your reasons for agreement or disagreement? • Secondly, would you say that the novel is in any way outdated in the attitude of men to Tess? Are there women today whose lives are like that of Tess?

Another reason for reading Dickens is familiarity. Yes, you will remember some things such as Pip’s experience in the graveyard in Great Expectations or Scrooge in A Christmas Carol. Meeting them again will be enjoyable just as meeting an old friend after some years can be.

For some sexual equality, what do you think of how Angel Clare behaves? Is his attitude outdated?

Alongside that familiarity will come new insights. Knowing what will happen later between the convict and Pip (if you remember that) adds another level of meaning to their first meeting.

On another topic, did you not find the life of 19th century milkmaids (as they are when we meet them) fascinating?

And what of Alec d’Urberville? Yes, you saw him as the villain initially but does he not repent? Does he not genuinely love Tess?

Talking about Wildlife...

Reptiles: soaking up the sun in Dorset Like humans, reptiles love basking in the sun at this time of year. In Dorset we are lucky to have lowland heathland habitat to support all six British native reptile species.

Reptiles are truly magnificent creatures, but they need a very specific habitat to thrive in and can be very sensitive to changes in their environment, which is why all reptile species are legally protected. You also need a license to handle and monitor them. As reptiles are ectothermic (cold-blooded), they bask in the sun to warm up, and hide away in the shade to cool down again. During the colder months they hibernate, but in the summer months, reptiles will be enjoying the sunshine and feasting on the delights the heath has to offer, with lizards preying on spiders and insects and snakes favouring small mammals. As with lots of wildlife species in Dorset, their survival and success is largely due to having well-managed habitat to thrive in. Dorset Wildlife Trust’s Great Heath team work hard on our heaths to ensure there is sandy soil, low vegetation and not too many trees, to create a dry and warm habitat for reptiles. Sand Lizard

If you’re out on the heath this summer, please admire reptiles from a distance, and do not lift metal tins (used for surveying purposes) to see them. Fires can be devastating to a reptile population on heathland so please report any suspicious behaviour on heathland to Dorset Police on 101. In the event of a fire phone 999.

Understanding Investments: Personal Pensions (including SIPPs) For many people, the value of their pension savings can be their most significant asset, alongside their home. However, pension savings are often neglected due to perceived complexity surrounding pension rules, investment choice and clients accruing multiple schemes throughout a working life. Whilst there are different types of pensions (Final Salary and Money Purchase), and a number of flexible choices once retirement is reached, I want to focus this article on three of the most important things to consider with money purchase schemes during the accumulation stage (usually whilst working and contributing) that will influence the value of your pension at retirement; Contribution Level, Investment Content and Charges. 1: Contribution Level: Auto-enrolment now obligates an employer to contribute a % of earnings to an employees’ pension (subject to certain earnings limits). In addition, an employee (or a director and the self-employed) can contribute an amount linked to their earnings. The incentive to do so currently available from the government is that they provide tax-relief on personal contributions, so a basic rate taxpayer saves 20% tax on their pension contributions, a higher rate taxpayer 40% and additional rate 45%. Company directors can also make pension contributions from their company rather than paying them personally which can save the company corporation tax and the director income tax. There are maximum annual allowance limits applicable. 2: Investment Content: Once the money has been paid into the pension scheme, it should usually be invested in an attempt to earn a higher return than cash and aim to preserve and grow the real value of the pension fund (the value after inflation). Different pension schemes will offer a variety of investment options; some will offer a wide investment choice and others can be more

restricted. Modern plans usually provide a wider range, with SIPP’s Howard Goodship usually offering the greatest choice. The level of investment risk should be considered on an individual basis, linked to your attitude to risk, the time left before reaching retirement and your overall financial situation (including other savings and investments). It should be remembered that investment returns are not guaranteed. 3: Charges: Since the introduction of auto enrolment, competition amongst pension providers has increased and charges have reduced. This is great news for clients but whilst some older schemes have adjusted their charges accordingly, many haven’t. The amount you pay in charges will have a direct impact on the value of the pension fund at retirement and the longer the money remains invested, the bigger the impact on your pension value. In combination the right level of contribution, invested in high quality investments with reasonable charges can be a powerful formula to help provide you with a financially secure retirement. We offer an initial, no obligation meeting to discuss your objectives and would be happy to answer any of your questions. It is possible to switch pension plans from one provider to another if the existing pension plan is no longer suitable (any charges related to this work would be quoted and agreed in advance and would not be contingent on a switch). Howard Goodship is an Independent Financial Adviser with Lonsdale Wealth Management, 5 Fridays Court, Ringwood.

Bournemouth Music Competitions Festival Some of you may have heard of the Bournemouth Music Competitions Festival – after all it’s been going for more than 90 years. Sadly last year we had to cancel due to Covid, but we’re planning to be back with a bang in October.

If you’re not sure about entering why not come along to watch? A day ticket only costs £3 (£2 for concessions). You’ll be supporting all the wonderful local talent – they really appreciate having an enthusiastic audience.

If you’re interested in the Performing Arts, the Festival deﬁnitely has something for you. If you’d like to take part there are vocal classes for everything from opera to the latest musical theatre hits, a wide variety of Speech and Drama options, plus instrumental classes to suit all grades and instruments. Classes are judged by a professional adjudicator, but don’t worry, the atmosphere is very friendly and supportive and you can learn a lot from watching your fellow competitors. This year we are hosting The Rotary Young Musician of the Year competition, and a new award for younger adult singers, The Hubert Parry award of up to £250.

This year the Festival is taking place at The Knole in Knole Road, a lovely venue with plenty of parking, and light refreshments are available to purchase, so why not make a day of it and bring your friends (and of course make some new ones!) All the information can be found on our website, www.bmcf.info – we’d love to see you there! You can also get in touch by calling us or sending us an e-mail: 07952 176797 bmthfestival@gmail.com

QUIRKY FACTS by Mica Bale Where could be better to enjoy the very heights of the British summer months than in Dorset? Whether you are staycationing or holidaying in this delicious slice of the country, surely nowhere could be better to enjoy seemingly never ending coastlines and inspiring landscapes? However, it has to be said that the Dorset we enjoy today has been shaped by its impressive heritage. To celebrate Dorset at its ﬁnest, here’s another handful of quirky facts from around the county. Did you know that the UK has only six native reptiles and Dorset’s Puddletown Forest can lay claim to having populations of all of these species? The forest has vital areas of heathland which is so important for sustaining these reptiles. Interestingly the sand lizard which is not only the largest British lizard but is also the rarest, has suﬀered some of the greatest decline in numbers however a recent project saw several hundred young sand lizards released into Puddletown Forest to introduce a population to the heathland in the hope of improving national numbers.

It's no secret that many writers and artists flock to Dorset to be inspired and certainly the county has produced many fine authors. Among their number was John Meade Falkner, the author of beloved smuggling and shipwrecking book Moonfleet, who was raised in Weymouth and Dorchester. The village of Moonfleet itself is based on East Fleet and Corfe Castle is another area which features heavily in the book. A trip to any one of the book’s locations is perfect for a fun day out with the kids, walking in the steps of Falkner’s characters. 26

Athelhampton is surely one of the county’s ﬁnest examples of Tudor architecture with origins dating as far back as at least 1485. Throughout history the country estate has been a stronghold for several powerful Dorset families however by the19th century the house was becoming a somewhat sorrier aﬀair and the Great Hall’s roof was in need of repair. Interestingly Thomas Hardy's father, also Thomas, was asked to help with these repairs with his profession as a stonemason. In a perhaps peculiar change of direction, in the years to come, the house his father had worked to preserve would later host the author. No doubt he was thankful the roof didn’t leak!

Did you know that the impressive Duke of Wellington sculpture in St. Paul’s Cathedral was the work of a Dorset local? Born in Blandford Forum, Alfred Stevens was the son of a joiner and decorator whose business he joined at the age of ten. His artistic talents were spotted at a young age and the local rector provided the funds for young Stevens to go and study in Italy. Upon his return the opportunity to create a memorial statue for one of Britain’s most respected historical ﬁgures was made public and ultimately it was the Dorset local’s design which won the commission. Alfred Stevens would create an impressive memorial which not only honoured Wellington but created a legacy of his work.

Never mind Wimbledon, were you aware that King Henry VIII was a frequent visitor to Walditch where he would enjoy a game of ‘real tennis’? This regal game of ‘real tennis’ was known as the ‘sport of the kings’ largely similar to lawn tennis however the game is known to have greater complexities than its commoner’s counterpart. The King was a great fan of real tennis and he even had such courts built at Hampton Court. No doubt he was always the winner. Long love the King!

Busy, busy, busy... Following last month’s opening of their new audiology business, Simon and Heather Cowell have been ‘unbelievably busy’ helping people to improve their hearing. Simon Cowell said “We thought there would be a pent-up demand for the products and services we offer, but had no idea how many local people had been struggling to hear well during the recent Covid lockdown period.” With most GP surgeries no longer offering ear wax removal people are desperate to find somewhere reputable to provide the service for them.

In addition to their ear wax removal service 2County Hearing are also seeing a very strong demand for the latest rechargeable hearing aids, particularly those which allow direct connection to the TV and mobile phones. Simon says “It is a myth that only the younger generation know how to use the latest wireless and Bluetooth technology. When incorporated into the latest hearing devices, this new connectivity can make a huge difference to how well people can hear friends, family and the TV.” For more details call Simon today on 01202 985500.

Hearing Problems? Often a loss of hearing can be due to something as simple as a build-up of ear wax. Our expert, local audiologists offer a full range of hearing healthcare services including safe and effective ear wax removal. Being an independent, family-run business allows us to offer you the best FREE impartial advice. Call us today.

The Adventures of Daichi

The Modern Magazines Camper Van Isn’t it great to go for a walk in our luscious green, English countryside! Daichi highly recommends walking to clear away the mental cobwebs and stresses of the week. He loves to bounce his way to the destination, always with a picnic, coffee at the ready and a big stealy white smile. We love him. This time he took us to Pamphill near Wimborne in East Dorset. There are bluebell woods here which can look amazing at the right time of the year. In 2018 the National Trust planted 2500 trees at the Abbott Street Plantation, which you can see on the map. This included oak, hazel, scots pine, sweet chestnut and wild cherry trees. The intention is to extend the ancient woodland for future generations, so they continue to enjoy our wonderful wildlife and views. How cool is that. Some of the trees in the woodland have been standing there for 300 years (and I feel old…) and are struggling with disease and stress, so there was a fence to keep us heavy humans out and allow the trees some space, peace and quiet to recover. Maybe there is a lesson to learn there… certainly

Map is on the board at the car park 32

Ancient woodland at Abbott Street Copse taking a walk can help us too, recover from a taxing week. In addition to that some of the dead trees, known as “standing deadwood” have been deliberately left where they have stood for hundreds of years. These old, decayed trees, which still have a wonderful presence about them, are great for wildlife and create a haven for woodpeckers, insects, tree creepers and a large variety of fungi. They make it a heathy habitat for other species to thrive. I love nature and there is definitely something very magical about this woodland. I take my hat off (or Daichi’s bonnet) to the National Trust who are preserving this delightful area. We really enjoyed our meanderings. Once out of the sheltered wood, we walked to more open ground, across fields and climbed over stiles to follow the walk we had found on our phone. Modern technology working with ancient woodlands and a beautiful leisurely stroll. The walk is about an hour long, though we were walking pretty slowly really, so for those who like more of a hike you could probably do this in half an

hour! We like to amble, take our time and breathe in the fresh air. We saw buzzards, deer, horses and walkers with dogs. The view further on the trail is amazing. Rolling hills and farmhouses. One thatched cottage in the distance had had a fire and was burnt to a cinder, all black and eerie looking. I do not know the story there, but I certainly hope everyone was safe. Back at the Pamphill Green car park we decided to visit St Stephen’s Church, which is the Bankes Family Church. The Bankes family owned Kingston Lacy Country House and this Church was built in memory of Walter Ralph Bankes who was a Lord High Admiral of Purbeck. I immediately noticed there were no gravestones. Call me odd, but as a teenager and later at university I used to walk around Churches and Graveyards to read the tombstones. I found it fascinating to see who was alive in the area then, how long they had lived and see family members all together. Pure enchantment. To others I was seen as a little ‘mad’ I think! Well, it is a good job we are all different I say. So, immediately seeing there were no gravestones to read, I looked it up on good old Google and found that land has to be consecrated in order to have a burial ground. Holy water, which has been blessed by a priest is used to make the land sacred and only then can

St Stephen’s Church at Pamphill

Daichi waited in the woods the land be used for burials. This land was obviously not consecrated and thus no tombstones to read. Churches do have a certain atmosphere about them, especially chocolate-box looking ones like this one. Idyllic. This Church was built in 1907 after seven years of construction. The previous Church had been left to go to ruins and unlike the dead trees in the woods, a broken-down, dilapidated Church does not aid others in their survival, so a new one had to be built. Well, they did a very good job I have to say. All this countryside walking and fresh air meant that refreshments were in order. The Vine Inn Pub is a very short drive down the road and as it was a lovely evening, we decided to sit in the garden there and have a drink. A great end to a very simple, relaxed afternoon. After all the chasing around of the week it was delightful to sit and listen to birds singing, taste the fresh night air and chill out. Daichi watched us with an equally lazy smile. Wherever you live there is countryside not that far away. If you are able to get out and about, all you need is walking shoes and a jacket just in case. Take your time, take a stroll and let nature calm the spirits. Truly recommended. Where will Daichi take us next I wonder? By Debbie Corney

Sway Bowmen History Sway Bowmen Archery Club was established in 1985 primarily as a Target Archery Club within the New Forest National Park. Our ﬁrst venue was at Sway Football Club, but as membership increased we moved to Skanlands Farm where we held our ﬁrst Club championships.

During the winter months we also shoot indoors at Brockenhurst College on Wednesday evenings.

With membership increasing further Sway Bowmen moved to a more permanent site on Birchy Hill where we stayed until 1999.

We have about 120 members with ages ranging from juniors up to 75+ years old. We have archers of all abilities from beginners up to archers of international standard.

Our ginal move was to Great Break Field on the outskirts of Sway Village. We are fortunate to have unlimited access to our range which the Club now owns. Our members enjoy a full outdoor season of shoothing and social activities as well as our annual Mushroom Shoot which is enjoyed by Archery Clubs across the region.

Sway Bowmen are now in the enviable position of having a superb new clubhouse constructed at our range, work having now commenced.

If you are interested in joining the Club we run beginners courses in April each year. These courses ﬁll up very quickly so please get in touch with you would like to attend. Visit our website www.sway-bowmen.org.uk for more information.

Increasing numbers of homeowners are choosing to hold their properties as tenants in common to cut inheritance tax, avoid care home fees and to protect their share The Property Protection Trust Will package is based around how you hold the ownership of your home. All good estate planning nowadays considers the difference between owning your home as joint tenants or as tenants in common. If you own your home as Joint Tenants; when one of you dies the ownership of the home passes by the Law of Survivorship and not by your Will. Therefore, the surviving partner will automatically own 100% of the property. This sounds right to most people. BUT should the surviving partner need care in the future, the Local Authority can take everything they own (including their home) to pay for the care fees, leaving just £14,250 to be inherited by children and grandchildren.

There is an alternative.

Nowadays many couples choose to own their home as Tenants in Common where each partner will own 50% of the family home. This provides for many benefits. Firstly, it allows you to legally leave your share of the property in your Will to whoever you wish. A properly written Will can ensure that your half of your house will eventually pass to your children even if your widow re-marries. Unmarried cohabiting couples or relatives living together can also use this means of ownership as a way of minimising their Inheritance Tax exposure. It can also help with long-term care costs. If one of you is still living in your home the Local Authority can’t include its value in the means test if one of you has to go in to long-term care. This also applies if the husband or wife still living at home dies while the other is in care as their share will go into the trust.

Songbirds Bring music to your life by attracting your own dawn chorus. Nature’s early-morning concert is one of the summer’s greatest pleasures, and with a little encouragement, we can bring this dawn chorus to our front and back doors. The birds: Robin – The robin produces a twinkling, crystal-like sound that ﬂutters through the air. You’ll hear this little fellow all year round.

other that offer a range of tones and a stylish array of chords. Song thrush – Heard throughout the year, the song thrush makes a sound closest to those slightly shrill mobile phone ringtones… but nicer!

on offer; while tits, ﬁnches and siskins love the fatty proteins of peanuts.

Great tit – A repetitive twotoned whistle that cuts through the air and is most prominent in early spring. Wren – For many, the best improvised whistle of them all, with a raft of twists and twirls ending up in a rattling cacophony of noise towards the end. Willow warbler – Best characterised for a chain of notes that lowers as it progresses, the warbler’s song has clear gaps in between notes and a powerful chirp. Chafﬁnch – Heard throughout spring and summer, the chafﬁnch offers a punchy, powerful array of notes that slows towards the end Blackbird – So typical of the bird itself, the blackbird’s song features notes drawn into each

Water – Whether bathing, playing in it or drinking the stuff, a supply of fresh water, usually on a shallow plate, is one of the best ways to get birds engaged in your garden. Goldfinch – With elegant inflections and the occasional sound of a penny whistle thrown in for good measure, a chaffinch has an eclectic song and is heard from early spring. How to attract them: Bird feeders – Unknown to many, the type of food you leave in bird feeders will directly influence the species you attract. For instance, suet balls are favourites with robins, blue tits and long-tailed tits; niger seeds are loved by greenfinches and goldfinches; starlings, robins and blackbirds will come if mealworms are

Plants – Edible plants, berries, shrubs and wildﬂowers will keep your birds hanging around for long periods. Protection – Birds are always on the lookout for cats and other predators ready to disrupt their everyday pleasures of gliding from one branch to another, so the more space you can offer your feathered friends, the more they will relax and hang about. Birdboxes – Ensure you’re hanging these high enough away from cats and squirrels, and in a semi-sheltered where birds can nest in peace.
