Advertise with us This certainly helps our economy too Take your business to new heights and supports the local shops and with our affordable advertising amenities.

To chat to Debbie or the sales relaxing days. Of course, our advertisers all want to stay busy, so they need your calls for sure. Why not get them to sort the house out, fix that leak, create a new bathroom, kitchen or landscape the garden, while you have some time out? That seems like a good idea to me.

Team 13: Olympic runners raise money for Julias House! Double Olympian marathon runner and Commonwealth Games medallist Liz Yelling has provided her support to ‘Team 13’ – a fundraising challenge initiated by Julia’s House Corporate Fundraiser, Caroline Attreed to celebrate her thirteenth year at the Dorset and Wiltshire children’s hospice charity. Caroline has assembled a team of 13 top business leaders who will run 13 miles together in a bid to raise an incredible £13,000 to help local families with seriously ill children. Alongside Caroline, those taking part include James Benamor (CEO, Richmond Group & Julia’s House Ambassador), Alex Bonnet (CEO, Venaspace), Becky Harris (Finance Director, MSO Capital Ltd), Brian Parker (CEO, Britannia Parking & Julia’s House Chair), Chris Fairfax (CEO, Catalyst Property Finance), Doug Sheppard (MD, Parvalux), Iain Williams (CEO, Quick Car Finance), Kelly Black (Director, Richmond Group), Mark Nixon (Partner, Threthowans & Julia’s House Trustee), Martin McAndrew (Director, Blue Thirst), Pip Woods (MD, Rockley Watersports & Julia’s House Ambassador), Tobias Britton (MD, Globacare), Staz Stazicker (Co-Founder, Thru Dark Ltd) and Michelle Cross (PR Manager, OnBuy). The team is being helped by Personal Trainer Sash Von Rappard, who is joining in with training runs and providing motivational support. Caroline explains, “When I started my role at Julia’s House, James Benamor was one of the first business

people I met. James is CEO of Richmond Group and one of our ambassadors. It was James I met with to talk through my idea of this challenge. He helped me to get started and is always such a great motivation and wonderful supporter. I invited another Julia’s House ambassador, Liz Yelling, to talk to the team before one of our training runs and was so delighted when she said yes! Liz is such an inspirational athlete and has competed in two Olympic marathons. She was really motivational and gave us some great tips and techniques to take away and put into practice.” Liz put the fundraisers through their paces with some interval training in Poole Park, and left them with a few words of encouragement and advice: “The best thing about going into an event with a team is the support, encouragement and accountability you offer each other, I think this is so motivational, and helps you to get out on those runs, when otherwise you may not. It helps you to feel excited about race day and feeling a part of something. So encourage each other on the journey to the start line, and show interest in each other’s training journeys.” “Julia’s House has been a huge part of my life for the last 13 years,” says Caroline. “It is an amazing organisation, providing the most incredible support to local families, and I feel so privileged to be a part of it. It’s going to be an exciting year training with Team 13, and I can’t wait for us to cross the finishing line!” Team 13 will complete the half-marathon challenge for Julia’s House on 9 October.

The Humble Bumblebee (and friends) Why we all need to make a beeline to our buzzing friends, who are pivotal to the future of our planet. The bee population (bumblebees and the 25,000 other recorded species that exist), have been too regularly dismissed in the past as simply the overseers of pollination… and of course useful if you want to spread a bit of honey on your toast. Yet the reliance both we and the wider environment have on bees moves them straight to the upper echelons of some of the planet’s most valuable entities. Consider that at least 30% of the world’s crops and 90% of all plants require crosspollination to spread and thrive, and suddenly our perception of bees takes a different slant. Unfortunately, bee populations around the world are in decline. Climate change causes some ﬂowers to bloom earlier or

later than usual, meaning bees have fewer food sources at the start of the season. They suffer habitat loss from development and a lack of bee-friendly ﬂowers, and some colonies collapse due to plants and seeds treated with pesticides. The good news is that protecting these little wonders is not just good for the environment, but a joy in itself. Several organisations run bee initiatives; from Bee Walks, in which volunteers traverse set routes to map out observations of bee activity; to community and education groups at libraries, stalls and fetes that raise money and awareness. You can also create a buzz in your own back garden, by laying a foundation to encourage bees into the space, where what’s around them will thrive: Bee-friendly plants Use bee-friendly plants, patio pots, herbs in a planter, with hanging baskets and crocuses creating colour and helping bees ﬂourish.

Gracious greens Consider adding fruit and veg to your garden, where possible; bees will be instantly attracted. An annual affair Try to keep planting throughout the season in order to provide food and shelter for bees. They actually require nectar and pollen across all four seasons, while keeping the grass long offers great refuge. Arrest the pesticides Obviously, removing or greatly reducing the use of pesticides in your garden will have a hugely beneficial effect on the bee population, so don’t be afraid to throw away that ‘bug gun’ and let nature do its bit. New arrivals Also consider welcoming in ‘beneficial insects’ such as hoverflies, beetles and ladybirds, as these perfect partners will all help your bees flourish. Why not start a buzz in your community, and help nature in the process!

An agent for change Why preservation of both people, and the planet, is the next venture for Amal Clooney. Amal Clooney is best known for human, not environmental, advocacy; yet it was at the Greenbuild 2018 Conference that we saw, for the ﬁrst time, a new side to the human rights lawyer. It was one that followed the conference’s mantra that we can only solve society’s ills by proper intersection of humanity and the wider environment.

around the world; they add to political instability that only compound the problem.

The 44-year-old’s energy for environmental projects is not and will never be as great as the advocacy she gives to human rights the world over. Quite simply, it is not what she has committed two decades to specialising in; and yet, in a sense, that makes her interest all the more commendable. “The pursuit of human rights is one that is intrinsically linked to the pursuit of the environment, because both are equally dependent on each other,” she begins. “If we are not at one with ourselves, we are never going to move forward into the next realm which is to look after the environment. “And when climate change itself is impacting the basics of what we have… when it is leading to ﬂooding, unstable food supplies, drought, wildﬁres and hurricanes, then this, quite obviously, leads to a human crisis in the world, whereby all of these elements contribute to the increase in refugees

“George inspires me in much the same way as he says I inspire him. If you care for someone, you invest in their passions and the drive to make change. “He is a tremendous support and he has opened my eyes to another side to justice, for the planet, and I do cherish that.” “It means harmony and equilibrium between human and environmental factors are intrinsic to each other, so we have to be passionate about both.” Clearly, Clooney has been steered in this direction by husband George’s vociferous commitment to environment change. And while even the Clooney Foundation, set up by the couple in 2016, dominates its pledges towards justice for the individual, the ethos of change for the greater good is a common thread that runs within.

While Amal Clooney beneﬁts from inherent beauty, wealth and celebrity status, what makes her so engaging is something separate that cannot be learned or taught – it is an ability to light up the room; she is someone who appears capable of speaking to anyone at any level. “I think a part of us needs to relearn the art of conversation and compassion. What has happened across the world in the last couple of years has provided real challenges and we need to stick together.”

A Design for Life… The Kevin McCloud Column Designer, writer and television presenter, Kevin McCloud leapt into our consciousness with his vastly successful Grand Designs show on Channel 4. This month, the affable architectural business owner talks about the difference between decorative and functional. The other day I found myself having a conversation about clocks, and it dawned on me how our reliance on them in the home has changed so much over the years. The reason for this is obvious – we have watches, phones, laptops, and various other timing devices scattered about our personal space. The era of having to get up and walk into another room to discover we’re late for the train, is long gone. There feels some justice in that, too. After all, the humble wall clock was, for many years, viliﬁed in its role in reminding us that we were behind schedule. It must be relieved to know that now, in 2022, it serves a new purpose – it is an aesthetic choice; it is a timeless interior addition that alludes to a tradition of sophistication and style - content, simply, to sit smugly in the background of household life, faithfully ticking

away the seconds ad inﬁnitum.

Its riling raison d’être aside, there was a time when large clocks were considered emblems of opulence; and although the clamour for small and sleeker accessories has relegated the wall clock to an afterthought, there’s a case for arguing this timeless timepiece can add an eye-catching allure to any contemporary space. The clock is, in many ways, a piece of moving, evolving art. It can exaggerate, calm or simply just sympathise with a wall. It can bring out colours and connect furniture, items and artwork in genre or era or style. Even if you’re hoping to emulate uber-minimalist interiors, an elegant or oversized wall clock can offer a break from potential

monotony while still appearing a natural extension of its surroundings and theme. Designers now treat these creations as art pieces – ditching the rounded constraints or traditional elements to drag the timing device into the present. Whichever way you look at it, wall clocks belong in a different era, though that tangible link between functional and decorative is one that we should consider across a number of objects and a number of rooms in our homes. The truth is, a good home, or house, or space, should combine the two. We need things around us that add to the feeling of being provided for us, yet at the same time we want to enjoy that elegance and beautiﬁcation. The secret to any space is ﬁnding the correct ratio between the two, and that sometimes can be easier said than done. Good luck!

Understanding Investments:

Trusts and Trust Registration Service deadline The deadline for registering express trusts with the Trust Registration Service (TRS) for the first time is September 1st 2022. This will include many off the shelf estate planning trusts such as gift trusts, discounted gift trusts and loan trusts that previously didn’t require registration. Existing trusts which have tax to pay (and currently complete an annual tax return) should have already registered, as the TRS is the mechanism by which trustees obtain the Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) needed to submit a self-assessment return. An express trust is a trust deliberately created by a settlor, usually in writing. They may be taxable or non-taxable. The majority of trusts recommended by financial advisers for tax and estate planning will be UK express trusts as they will usually use a deed from a product provider. These will often be non-taxable as the trust investment will be in life policies, including investment bonds, which do not produce natural income (capital withdrawals of 5% or less do not count as taxable income). Such trusts must now be registered by September 1st 2022 (or 90 days after creation if later) unless they are “excluded”. They will then be provided with a Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) if they are required to pay tax or a URN (Unique Reference Number) if they aren’t required to pay tax. “Excluded” trusts include pure protection policies where the only benefit is a sum assured paid out on 18

death and Will trusts, for the first two years after death.

Howard Goodship

The legal responsibility for registering falls on the trustees. They will need details of settlors, beneficiaries and provide information on the assets held within the trust. They can do this themselves or appoint an agent to complete the registration.

If you have set up a trust through a financial adviser to mitigate inheritance tax or are a trustee of a trust and haven’t previously been required to complete a tax return, it is likely the trust is not registered with the TRS. We strongly suggest you contact your financial adviser or accountant to discuss this as a matter of urgency. Alternatively, we are happy to meet for an initial chat and to review any of your trust arrangements. There is no charge for an initial meeting, and we may simply direct you to an agent who can complete the registration. Alternatively, if any further advice is needed, we would detail the required work and quote a fee in advance for your consideration.

Art Exhibition comes to St. Peter’s Church, Bournemouth Pictures for The Beehive, the art exhibition raising funds for Diverse Abilities’ Splash Appeal, is visiting St. Peter’s Church in Bournemouth as part of a tour to showcase drawings of the people supported by the disability charity. The first showing of this exhibition in September 2021 was accompanied by an auction of donated work by acclaimed artists including Antony Gormley, Maggi Hambling, and Paula Rego. The event raised over £100,000 towards The Splash Appeal which aims to raise over £1million to build a much-needed state-of-the-art therapy pool for the adult’s supported by the charity, who currently do not have the access they need to hydrotherapy. Henrietta Young, artist and curator of the exhibition, commented: “It was a great privilege to get to know and make friends with the people at The Beehive, and the whole business of drawing and being drawn was an extraordinary experience for everyone involved in the project. We hope that people viewing the resulting work will come away with a better understanding of disability.”

between 10am and 5pm daily. Helen Mortimer, development manager at Diverse Abilities, added: “Henrietta’s passion to raise the visibility of those with disabilities through art is remarkable. It is very exciting to display these portraits for people to see locally, raising awareness in Dorset and beyond, and hopefully funds towards the desperately needed hydrotherapy pool.” Visit picturesforthebeehive.org.uk to find out more about the exhibition and future dates of the tour in Salisbury, Suffolk, Kent and London. Henrietta Young by Piers Allardyce

The exhibition will be open to the public at St. Peter’s Church in Bournemouth Town Centre from Sunday July 10 to Wednesday July 13 26

Money on my mind... the Martin Lewis column He’s the UK’s leading money saving expert - a journalist and presenter who has kept millions of pounds in people’s pockets as well as lifting the lid on the threats and dangers we need to be aware of as consumers. In this month’s column, Martin Lewis looks at keeping our money safe online. Staying one step ahead of the fraudsters isn’t a battle just reserved for those who patrol the internet. The unregulated nature of the world’s biggest information source means we need to take control of our own vigilance. The good news is that by following a few easy steps, you can protect yourself from the dark forces at work across the web. Firstly, when visiting a site, in the web address at the top, look for an ‘s’ after ‘http’ at the beginning of the line. The lack of an ‘s’ doesn’t directly imply you are on a scam website, but it is telling you that the

security certiﬁcate is inadequate, and you should refrain from entering personal information. Some browsers – Google Chrome being one – add a padlock icon denoting any website that is fully secure, or the web address could be shown in green. The highest form of encryption for any site will show the website name before the address, also. Mostly, ask yourself if what’s being offered is realistic. On the internet, just as in real life, if something you see online appears too good to be true – particularly if you’ve clicked on an advert or had a popup appear on your screen – it probably is. Also have a look for how well written and presented the site is. There is a very real correlation between the

trustworthiness of a site and the attention paid to spelling, punctuation and grammar. It may not surprise you to hear that few scammers are fully adept in the ﬁner workings of the English language, particularly if that site is being run many thousands of miles from the UK, and authentic marketing will almost always look professional in style and content. Furthermore, as much as Google may at times frustrate us by offering a multitude of options that are almost bewildering in number, it remains a great source for checking what we know. So if a site looks suspicious put its name into Google. If it’s a known rogue business then there’s a good chance it’s being discussed across the web. Finally, if you are purchasing online, use a credit card or trackback ﬁnancial tool, such as PayPal. That way if something does go awry, you have the security of reclaiming your money.

Ingredients (serves 4) For the cake • 50g beurre noisette, plus a couple of extra tablespoons for the mould (see cook’s tip) • 1 large Waitrose British Blacktail Free Range Egg • 30g golden syrup • 60g plain ﬂour • 30g icing sugar, sifted • 10g caster sugar • 1 pinch of salt • 3g caraway seeds, toasted • 4g baking powder • 15ml whole milk

Heston Blumenthal’s Caraway Bath Cake Introduction

People assume that because my recipes are complex and rich in detail, they are impossible to replicate, but the truth about food is you can invest as much or as little as you like in the process, and even my recipes are based on simple concepts, so never feel afraid to try something different.

Method

Cook’s Tip To make the beurre noisette, melt unsalted butter over a gentle heat, whisking continuously until the solids turn golden brown and smell nutty. Remove from the heat, strain the butter through a coffee ﬁlter and store in the fridge. 1. To make the bath cakes, preheat the oven to 190˚C, gas mark 5. Brush the inside of a 9-hole madeleine mould with some of the beurre noisette and set aside. 2. In the meantime, using a stand-up mixer ﬁtted with a

paddle attachment on medium speed, beat the egg and the golden syrup until thick and light in colour. Reduce the speed and sprinkle in the ﬂour, both sugars, salt, caraway seeds and baking powder, continue to mix until well combined. Slowly drizzle in the cool beurre noisette and the milk. 3. Pour the batter into the prepared madeleine moulds halfway up and place in the oven for approximately 10 minutes. Remove the tray from the oven and cool on a cooling rack.

For the chocolate crumb • 150g caster sugar • 70g white chocolate To finish • 100g Heston from Waitrose Chocolate Sauce 4. For the chocolate crumb, add the sugar and 75g water to a large pan, place over a medium high heat and allow the syrup to come up to 150˚C. 5. Now remove from the heat and add the white chocolate and continue to whisk. The chocolate will become foamy at first but keep whisking until it crystallizes. Pour the crystallized chocolate onto a tray lined with parchment and allow to cool completely, crushing any clumps once cool. 6. To finish, melt the chocolate sauce according to pack instructions, allowing it to cool slightly. Using a spatula, cover half of the Bath cakes with a layer of the chocolate sauce. Sprinkle some of the chocolate crumb on top. Chill until ready to serve.

Lasting Power

of Attorneys

What happens if you don’t have a Power of Attorney? Arranging a Power of Attorney before it’s too late is critical to avoiding heartache for friends and family later. None of us likes to think about a time in life when we are no longer able to make our own decisions. But should that moment come, it will affect every part of your life – from your home and your finances to your medical care and welfare. It’s shocking to realise that as many as 1 in 3 people over the age of 65 will suffer from dementia, and of course, an unexpected accident can strike at any time. So, setting up a Power of Attorney is the sensible solution. If you haven’t made the right preparations, it’s your family and friends who will be left to sort everything out, as they try to take best care of you. When, and only when you feel it’s necessary, your Power of Attorney can be activated to enable someone you trust to step in and take key decisions for you. Your Attorney’s must always make all decisions in your best interests and they are duty bound to follow the guidelines set out in the Mental Capacity Act 2005. You are able to restrict the sort of decisions your attorneys can make for you or you can allow them to make all decisions on your behalf. Lasting Power of Attorneys are legally recognised by all financial institutions, care homes and local authorities as well as tax, benefits and pension authorities. With our life expectancy increasing year on year the need for Lasting Power of Attorneys in the future will significantly increase, so don’t get caught out at your time of need.

Greenfingers…

The Alan Titchmarsh Column He’s a brilliant presenter, accomplished gardener, talented novelist, and all-round horticultural inspiration. This month, Alan Titchmarsh talks about the pests that parade our petunias… and more. We all want our outdoor spaces to be as beautiful and as thriving as possible, yet by employing a host of natural ways to put pests off, we can keep our courtyards canny, and our green spaces chemical-free. The best way to do this is to think about natural barriers. These, if done well, can comfortably eradicate snails and slugs and all those little creatures who slide and slime over our prized plants. Any type of copper can be used to make a wall that electrically shocks their body, deterring them from moving further forward, while wood ashes or crushed eggshells also work to put those meddling molluscs off their lunch. While most people consider sprays and pesticides as the best way to keep unwanted intruders away, there are a range of natural squirts that do the same thing. For instance,

garlic and chilli may be a culinary staple, but they hold a secret power for gardeners looking to dispose of invaders in a natural manner. Combine crushed garlic and chilli (powdered chilli will do if you don’t have fresh) with one tablespoon of vegetable oil and a small amount of dishwashing liquid or soap flakes. Leave to soak overnight in a jar, then strain and spray on plants. The spray is very effective towards aphids and caterpillars – but keep away from kids, avoid contact with your skin and eyes, and use within a fortnight! It’s also worth reminding ourselves that not all bugs and beasties are bad news, and done well, you can encourage some into your garden. Plant mint, fennel, dill, yarrow, sunflowers and dandelions will attract ladybirds, hoverflies and lacewings, all of which will happily feast on your aphids. Birds and hedgehogs eat slugs and snails, beetles and insects… as do frogs and toads. Finally, try a trap. Earwigs can devastate seedlings, so if they do pose a problem in your garden, try filling a few plastic flowerpots with straw and balancing them upside down on sticks to attract the pests.

The earwigs crawl up the poles and take shelter in the pots at night and you can humanely dispose by emptying them in the morning. Removing pests and critters the natural way takes effort, imagination and no small amount of patience, but opening your garden to nature’s bounty, whilst preserving as much life as possible, is surely the best and most satisfying way to enjoy the fruits of your labour.
