Dear St Leonards, St Ives, Ashley Heath & Avon Castle, I do hope that you are all keeping warm this February. It certainly has got colder, though I do think we have been lucky to a degree, with snow and much more ice in other areas of our beautiful country. Nellie has taken a rest this last month but will be back on the road, after a new ‘pacemaker’ (alias alternator) was fitted, to tell you all about her exploits next month. 2017 is very much underway and we do hope all is going well for you. Have you planned a holiday with the family, or maybe even a trip abroad on your own? We met several people last year who were cruising unaccompanied but had met wonderful new friends while travelling. Coach trips can be good for that too. Maybe you are more than happy to stay at home and enjoy our English summer, though a little unpredictable, but can be extremely pleasant with much less hassle of ‘getting there’. We have planned our trip to Disney in May half term so that we also can benefit from a British trip in the summer holidays with Nellie. The best of both! My Dad is still very keen to go fishing at Norden Farm near Corfe Castle so we must make that go right. With regards to the house, garden, meals out and pampering we have many many local companies who are here to serve you. You don’t need to go abroad, or anywhere else for that! We are so pleased that The St Leonards & St Ives Directory has turned out to be such a success for our advertisers and we really do thank you for that! Everyone wins as you can use a local company you can trust and rely on and the company stays local which is what they want. Please do mention us when making those all important calls and bookings. This will help the magazine tremendously. The lucky winner of the prize wordsearch last month was Zoe Bevis. Wishing you a wonderful month of February. Very Best Wishes,
Debbie & Stephen Corney

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 6W /HRQDUGV area
DQG 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...
Winter Wildlife Watching With some wildlife hunkering down for the big freeze, winter turns our attention to the species who need to work that bit harder to get through the frosty season. So, that’s why winter is the perfect opportunity to make a practical, real difference to wildlife in your local wild space. Leaving water and food out for birds might seem like a trivial task, but it can mean life or death to them if other food sources are scarce, or frozen. You will be rewarded with lovely sights of garden visitors such as the blue tit, goldfinch, redwing or, if you’re lucky, a great spotted woodpecker. Garden birds aren’t the only active birds around this time of year. On a winter’s day at about 4pm you might see a flock of starlings, (also known as a murmuration), as they settle down to roost. A flock of birds has a huge advantage to a single bird this time of year – safety in numbers. Large groups are believed to deter predators, making it hard for them to single one bird out; the sight of a flock is quite off-putting to a bird of prey. In large numbers, birds have a better chance of successfully hunting for food together, and they will stay warm at the same time. Keep your eyes to the sky for one of nature’s best performances! Nothing is more delightful than seeing a splash of colour on the landscape when the trees are bare, so another favourite of this season is the

much-loved snowdrop. This distinctive white flower bravely comes into bloom in January and flowers until March, so for those who long for spring to arrive, seeing this flower is a sign that warmer times are ahead. To get out for some winter walks in Dorset, explore Dorset Wildlife Trust’s nature reserves at www.dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/reserves. Winter bird feeding tips − Don’t put out too much – stale food can develop harmful bacteria. − Clean the feeders and the table regularly – use hot water and a pet safe disinfectant to prevent infections being passed between birds. − Replenish fresh water – birds need to bathe to keep feathers in good condition and keep them warm. TIP: stop water freezing by putting a tennis ball in it. − Recommended food includes: seed mixes, fat balls, household scraps such as raw fats, suet and lard, mild grated cheese, cooked potatoes. Fruits include apples, and dried fruits such as sultanas and raisins. − Foods to avoid include: White bread, milk, salty or spicy food, loose whole peanuts. Runny fats from cooking, vegetable oils and margarines can clog feathers and cause birds to lose valuable insulation

Local History: Roadworks Today’s roadworks all too often disrupt our plans, but our parish always was a transit area. As the ice sheet retreated, a “Solent” river flowed east into a developing “English” Channel. Around 8 or 9,000 years ago, a Scandinavian tsunami precipitated the breakthrough at the Straits. Southbound tributaries gave access inland to continental “immigrants” while east/west paths developed, fording these rivers. One may have been used by Vespasian when sent in AD45 to subdue the Durotriges west of the Avon. Marching from his base near Chichester,
he established a base camp on the Stour, SW of Wimborne. Joining this site to an “agger” at Stoney Cross, it crosses the Avon just above today’s bridges. I refer to this as “the Roman road line”. Over the centuries, it regularly appears as a boundary within our Parish. An AD995 perambulation of Ringwood’s bounds takes this route westwards, while, in the Poulner area, it is called “the army road”. By 1100, it is the northern limit of Christchurch “parochia”. The expanse between the Avon and Moors Rivers was barren heathland, bordered by a few small

farms and cottages. Landowners leased out “turbary delphs” to individuals in which they could cut turves. Random paths predominate on this 1755 map, while writers warn of hazards travelling through the area. From Ashley Cross, routes led south to Christchurch and south west to Poole, the latter crossing the Moors River at Palmers Ford. This had a chapel nearby, set up by Cranborne Abbey before 1100, and dedicated to “St. Leonard”. However, the “line” crossed the Moors River further north, today next to Shamba Caravan Park. By the 18th century the “line” formed the southern boundary of the Somerley estate. On a 1781 plan, the name “St. Ives” appeared for the first time against an area south of the” line”. Following the arrival of the Harris family at Hurn in 1795, later the Earls of Malmesbury, their lands steadily extended towards it and beyond during the early 19th century. Meanwhile, a new road appeared in the 1760s, when the 30ft wide turnpike, today the A31, was created via the three bridges across the Avon, and crossed the Moors
River at a stone St. Leonards bridge, north of Palmers Ford. Early 19th century, parts of the land between the “line” and the turnpike became the St. Ives House estate. Then came developments in St. Ives village, and, a little later, that of the St. Leonards Estate. Meanwhile the 1450 acres of Avon Cottage estate, bought in the 1860s by John Turner Turner, included almost everything to the south. In the 1920s William Webb initiated his 1500 acre Ashley Heath Garden Estate north of the “line”. Today the old AD45 “line” survives as a boundary of the First School; many properties in Sandy and Lions Lanes; Braeside village hall; and behind caravan parks on East Moors.

Residents and evidence back change to local government structures in Dorset Public consultation results show clear backing for change to local government structures in Dorset. In the household survey, which is representative of the county’s population, almost three quarters support reducing Dorset’s councils from nine to two, with over two thirds of open questionnaire respondents also agreeing.
Deliberative and qualitative research found that the business community, voluntary sectors, residents and town & parish councils also primarily backed change. Of the options for the geographical makeup of any new council, there was majority support in both the household survey and open questionnaire for Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole to be served by one new council, with East Dorset, North Dorset, Purbeck, West Dorset & Weymouth & Portland areas served by a second new council (65% in the household survey and 53% in the open questionnaire). This was also the strongest-supported option via qualitative research. Similarly, a detailed study undertaken by PriceWaterhouseCoopers looking at the Government’s five criteria for change cites a compelling case for local government reorganisation in Dorset. It found evidence that proposals to restructure the county’s local government have key strengths in the areas covered by the criteria; that change would improve services, provide stronger leadership, increase efficiency, save money and be sustainable. Now, in considering any change, each
council will want to be sure that any proposal both has public support and also meets the government’s criteria for approval.
This is what the financial assessment, the public consultation and the case for change work is about – providing all councillors in Dorset with a package of robust and independent evidence they can consider when deciding whether or not to support change from nine councils to two, should this be recommended, and if so, what composition of the two new councils would be best for Dorset. The nine councils in Dorset commissioned the public consultation from Opinion Research Services and the case for change from PriceWaterhouseCoopers, alongside a financial assessment of the potential savings achievable through reorganisation. The financial review found that, change delivers £108m over the six years after the transition, allowing services to be protected in the future. Councillors now need to consider all the evidence – the financial assessment, the case for change and the results of public consultation – to determine whether they support change. This will be considered separately at each council during January. Following that, and subject to agreement, a request will be made to the Secretary of State for Communities & Local Government, who will make the final decision. Any new councils would come into being in April 2019.

A Roman Water Pump One of the objects visitors can see displayed at the Priest’s House Museum & Garden today is a Roman force pump. It is one of only two examples so far discovered in Britain. The water pump was found during archaeological excavations at Tarrant Hinton from 1968 to 1984 by the Wimborne Archaeological Group. They discovered a Roman settlement and courtyard villa, the site having been in use by the Romans from the middle of the 1st century to the 5th century AD. During the excavation of the villa, beautifully painted wall plaster was discovered, three examples of which have been partially reconstructed and are on display in the museum. The site was first occupied by people in the Bronze Age and was a farming settlement before the Romans arrived in the area. The villa was completed by the late 3rd century or early 4th century, and the site also boasted a heated bath house and plunge pool. The archaeological evidence found, including the painted wall plaster, jewellery and the water pump, shows that a wealthy family lived in the villa. One year the archaeological group was excavating an old well on the site. On reaching the bottom they discovered the water pump, made from oak with lead liners and lead valve plates. It would have forced water from the bottom of the well up to ground level and then into a tank. Here the water could be stored for later use in the villa or the nearby bath house.

Money Saving Tips
Martin
LEWIS &DU ,QVXUDQFH
Everybody, everybody, everybody should be checking if they can slash the cost of car insurance right now. Okay, I accept not having a car is a good excuse, but don’t ignore this just because you’re ‘not at renewal’ - even then big savings may be possible. The reason for this warning is that car insurance costs have rocketed by 16% over the last year, according to the AA, and it’s saying it “can’t see an immediate end” to the rises. Yet when you get car insurance the price is fixed for the year, so by locking into a policy now you effectively future proof against rises. So here are my 10 need-to-knows, though for far more help in every scenario, see my mammoth www.mse.me/carinsurance guide. 1. To find the cheapest price at speed – combine comparison sites then add those they miss. There’s no one cheapest insurer, as prices are set individually. So, the aim is to check as many quotes as possible, quickly and easily. Comparison sites do that, but they don’t all cover the same insurers or even give the same price for the same insurer. So… a) Use two or three of the biggies: www. moneysupermarket.com, www.gocompare. com, www.confused.com and www. comparethemarket.com. (Open all the windows at the same time, then cut and paste your info across.) b) A couple of the big insurers like www. DirectLine.com and www.Aviva.co.uk aren’t
on them. Yet they can be competitive, especially if you’ve no convictions and a clean licence, so check these separately too, as they can lead to big savings. Also, there can be special promo deals not included - there’s a list at www.mse.me/ insurancedeals. And remember always check that the policy has the right level of cover for you. 2. Not at renewal? What you can do. If the predictions are correct and prices keep moving up, today’s prices will soon look cheap. Plus, many are overpaying already, especially those who just auto-renew each year. RENEWAL WITHIN 60 DAYS? Some firms such as www.Aviva.co.uk, www.LV.com and www.Nationwide.co.uk give quotes valid for 60 days so get one now, then check against quotes at renewal time. As @dimuthuj7 tweeted: “@MartinSLewis Renewal £521. Quote a month ago, which was honoured, of £319. Thanks.” MIDWAY THROUGH A POLICY? Many wrongly think you can only switch at renewal, but you can do it at any stage. Check if you can get a cheaper policy now. If so, provided you’ve not claimed, for a £50ish admin fee (factor that in), you can usually cancel and get the rest of the year refunded. You won’t earn the year’s noclaims bonus, but if it means you save now and prevent future price rises, it can be a big winner. The impact of this can@MoneySavingExpert be big, as @

27 mubzymalone tweeted me: “Just HALVED my car insurance, saving £543 by changing mid-policy. HUGE thanks to @MartinSLewis for the tip.” Not only is he saving now, he’s locked in the price for a year. So, the sooner &DU ,QVXUDQFH you act, the more you’re likely to save.

3. Check multi-car policies if you’ve more than one car in the home. A few insurers offer special discounts if you have more than one car in the home – but comparison sites can’t include these deals, so do it manually. www.Admiral.com Multicar gives discounts of up to 25%, depending on how many cars you insure. You can also get discounts by linking the household standalone policies with Churchill, Direct Line and Privilege. The savings here could be huge. Equally, they can be a rip off; it’s about trial and error. 4. Comprehensive cover may be cheaper than third party. Bizarrely, merely selecting comprehensive means some insurers see you as a lower risk, and it lowers the price, so always check comprehensive too if you want the cheapest. 5. Adding an extra driver could cost less. Again, counter-intuitively adding another person to the policy can bring down your premium, as the average risk is reduced. It’s especially strong if you’re a young driver adding a responsible older driver, but can work for others too as Bouncybubbles told me: “Quoted £900 from £500 previous year. By comparing then adding my husband I got it down to £298.” 6. Legitimately tweak your job title. You can’t claim to be the Chancellor if you’re a pole dancer (or vice-versa), but many people have wide ranging roles. So by tweaking your job description you might find your quote is lower. Like @RPJ_ Webster93 who tweeted: “@martinslewis
Thanks to your ‘reword job title’ tip my car insurance quote reduced by £500.” He legitimately changed his job title from ‘council worker’ to ‘civil servant - cleric’. 7. Don’t ‘pay monthly’ – it doesn’t exist. Insurers may call it paying monthly, but actually they loan you the year’s cost and while a few are interest free, most charge often hideous interest. The worst offender I’ve seen charges up-to-93% APR interest. So, check and if it’s costly, pay upfront if you can. If not, try to get one of the many yearlong-plus 0% credit cards. Just ensure you pay it off over the year, then there’s no cost. 8. Consider installing a ‘black box’. This device is the tech (officially called ‘telematics’) insurers put inside your car to monitor how you drive and when. It’s especially useful for younger drivers facing hefty costs via other means, though if your mileage is limited and you don’t drive at peak times or late at night, it can work well too. 9. Got special circumstances and struggling? Speak to a broker. If your circumstances aren’t normal, getting insurance can be tough. Often getting an insurance broker to find a bespoke policy for you can beat comparison sites. See www.biba.org.uk/find-insurance/ 10.Can you get cashback. Once you’ve found your cheapest policy check cashback websites like Quidco.com and TopCashback. co.uk to see if you can get any money back on the policy you’ve chosen if you buy it via them - this can be over £50, so is often worth it. Yet don’t let the cashback tail wag the dog. Choose the right policy first, then see cashback as an added extra (as it isn’t 100% guaranteed). @MoneySavingExpert

Gardening Tips

On Your Plot Now is the time to go undercover It’s still pretty chilly during February but planting seedlings under glass (or plastic) can give you a great start for the season ahead. A bit of time and money invested now in a polytunnel or greenhouse will give you benefits for years to come. Can’t wait for Spring to come? There are plenty of vegetables that can be started off indoors now.
Jobs for February:-
• Erect a cold frame, polytunnel or greenhouse • Plant out onion sets • Sow tomatoes indoors • Chit seed potatoes • Sow early beetroot and summer cabbages • Plant soft fruit bushes The days are getting a little longer, green shoots are starting to appear and we’re all just itching to get out in the garden now. Just one problem - it’s still likely to be blooming cold! Extremes in weather are typical for this month so even if we do have a warmer spell I wouldn’t be in too much of a hurry to start sowing seeds outdoors. It’s at this time of year that having some undercover growing space is a real boon not least because it’s so much more of a pleasure working in a protected environment, basking in the glory of those few rays of sun, than it is feeling a gale force wind that seems as it if’s come straight from the arctic! If you don’t have a greenhouse, polytunnel or cold frame then why not think about investing in one now? Get it built in February and you can get a head start on many plants for the season to come. Which is best? Consider the space available - if space is limited then a cold frame, may be a good option. Green houses can offer lots of benefits but are generally not a great idea if your garden is also the kids play area and they can be hugely expensive. On the plus side, they are not easy to get rid of so if you’re prepared for a bit of work
you may be able to pick up a second-hand one very cheaply providing you are happy to dismantle and move it yourself (try free cycle). We opted for a polytunnel, which was very reasonable in price and gave us several weekends of entertainment building it. Follow the instructions carefully, don’t rush it and you’ll need at least 2 of you when it comes to putting the plastic on. With both greenhouses and polytunnels you need to remember that they can become very hot in the summer and ensure that adequate ventilation is available. So, now that you have this great new space what can you plant in it? Early tomatoes can be started off in pots and if you plant some summer cabbages now you can get them established and benefit from a crop by late spring or early summer. Cucumbers, beetroot, leeks and lettuces can also be sown indoors and if you want to try something a little more exotic why not plant some peppers, aubergines and even a melon? This is also a good month to think about soft fruit. Most fruit bushes, trees and canes need time to get established before you start to get a good yield and it is easy to overlook them in favour of crops that give a quicker return. If you don’t have any fruit growing on your plot how about adding just one type of fruit each year? You could plant raspberry canes this month, or incorporate a gooseberry or blackcurrant bush into your border. If you have pot grown strawberries that have spent the winter indoors then place them outside as they will only flower after exposure to cold weather. Plants that have over wintered outside can be brought in now.

Auto Biographies
Range Rover Evoque Convertible By Tim Barnes-Clay, www.carwriteups.co.uk You have got to ask why people spend so much on a piece of metal with a wheel attached to each corner. It almost seems a bit nutty when all most of us want is a tool to get us from A to B. But cars aren’t always about transportation. They can be about our emotions and our egos. Some of us use a new car as a status trophy – a badge of honour to show how well we’ve done in life. I suppose if we have a head-turner of a car in the Western world it’s about pleasure-seeking, too – and having an easier life. Let’s face it; we would rather have a shiny, luxurious car to travel around in than a rust bucket. And that need for self-satisfaction can overrule the down-to-earth side of us when we are selecting a car. Some of us kick the word ‘practicality’ to the kerb anyway. I mean, good grief, in Great Britain we purchase more convertibles than many other countries in the EU. Why is this? After all, the UK is often dank and cloudy. Again, it comes down to that feel-good factor. Going topless when there’s sunshine in our country produces a massive rush - well, it does for me, anyway. It’s a better remedy for melancholia than a happy pill from the GP, I’d bet. But being prescribed a drop top car isn’t likely to happen at the doctor’s! Speaking of fresh-air motoring, the Range Rover Evoque Convertible has been launched recently. The looks of this SUV take a bit of getting used to, but they grow on you. As the fifth fellow of the Range Rover club – and the first convertible – Land Rover believes the all-new car will play a key part in continuing Range Rover’s tale of success, forging a fresh SUV sector. If industry professionals’ prophecies about a 20 per cent expansion in the international SUV market over the next five years prove accurate, then, the car firm has nothing but sunbeams heading towards it. The Range Rover Evoque Convertible has a material roof that can be triggered on the move – as long as the SUV isn’t doing more than 30mph.The five-layer top will fold down in around 18 seconds and it will go back up in approximately 21 seconds. Inside, the colossal InControl Touch Pro nav is pleasing – and, more crucially, it works very well. Genuinely, the pinch-to-zoom function is as quick as Apple’s iPad or iPhone. The Range Rover Evoque drop-top will seat four people and, for a convertible, it has an adequate 251-litre load area, too. The other good thing is that the roof opens and closes inaudibly and it tucks
away compactly, instead of piling-up on the car’s tailgate. You can go for either a petrol unit or a diesel engine, buoyed by turbo power. This is all linked up to a smooth-operating ninespeed automatic ‘box, and all-wheel drive. The 2.0 turbo diesel is the best engine if you’re after economy, returning around 49.6mpg on average. The diesel Evoque Convertible shifts from zero to 62mph in 10.3 seconds, which is 1.3 seconds longer than the hard-top Coupe’s sprint - but both manage a top end of 121mph. The 240PS petrol propelled power unit is nippier, getting to 62mph in 8.6 seconds. On and off-road, the non-tin-top SUV seems just as gifted as its hard-topped sibling – with indistinguishable clearances, and a mutual 500mm wading depth. Indeed, at the car’s European launch in the French Alps, the Evoque Convertible worked its way up, down – and through - everything asked of it – including deep snow. I doubt many motorists going for a roofless Range Rover will take the trouble with the off-roading part – but it is reassuring to know the SUV can do more than just look sexy in affluent suburbs. The all-new Range Rover Evoque Convertible is being made at Land Rover’s Halewood plant, alongside the five-door and Coupe versions, and it is on sale in over 170 markets around the world. Prices kick off at around £47,500, which is £5,200 more than a Range Rover Evoque Coupe with a roof.

For a visitor we charge £5 plus £1 for tea/coffee and biscuits. So why not give us a try and see how you like us. This is a very rewarding craft and most satisfying, a great reliever of stress because you have to concentrate, thus excluding all the other cares of the world.
