Dear St Leonards, St Ives, Ashley Heath & Avon Castle, We thoroughly enjoyed our recent Anglesey adventure, which you can read about in this edition. With an ever changing weather forecast, we were a bit uncertain about what we might be able to do, but as it turned out we were very fortunate and able to get out and about most days. it is always fun to explore new areas or revisit places you remember from previous trips. As the summer approaches, it is traditionally a time for our local shows and festivals. Do take the opportunity to enjoy these spectacles on our doorstep and support them by attending. If you do take time off to escape to other climes, we hope you have a great trip. For all those jobs around the home, our loyal advertisers are here to help you as always. Some new ones too. They would all love to hear from you so please do the usual and mention us when calling them. If you have time to write a ‘testimonial’ for any of them, for good work they have done, do send it to us. We, and the advertisers, love to hear from you. Stephen, Hayden, Nellie and myself hope you have a wonderful month of July. May we all be able to get outside and enjoy those gorgeous summer events and barbeques! Best Wishes,
Debbie & Stephen Corney

Rare monkeys arrive at Monkey World after rescue from Lebanon A new species was welcomed to Monkey World – Ape Rescue Centre with the arrival of Benny & Nia, a pair of white-throated guenons. White-throated guenons are incredibly rare, native only to small regions of the rainforests in Benin and West Nigeria and do not exist anywhere outside of their native countries, other than Monkey World. The wild population has decreased by 50% over the last 30 years, due to hunting & deforestation and are listed as a species vulnerable to extinction. Dr Alison Cronin, director of Monkey World, travelled to Beirut to work with Animals Lebanon and the Lebanese authorities who confiscated the monkeys that had been smuggled into Lebanon via a passenger flight from Accra, Ghana into Beirut. Lebanese authorities have been cracking down on the illegal wildlife trade and joined CITES (Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species) in 2013. Despite Lebanon being a relatively new member state, it has already gone some way to protect endangered species smuggled into the country, with animal protection legislation drafted and police enforcing the treaty. Benny & Nia were seized at Beirut airport and handed over to Animals Lebanon to care for until arrangements could be made to move them to Monkey World for specialist care and rehabilitation. The black market trade in primates is a global problem that threatens many different species of monkey and ape. It is a brutal trade where adult animals are shot, and eaten as bushmeat, while youngsters are taken out of the tropical forests they come from often to be smuggled overseas for the illegal pet trade or entertainment industry. It is a bloody and cruel trade that is driving many endangered species to the brink of extinction. Dr Cronin said, “I am pleased that Monkey
World was able to assist the Lebanese government and Animals Lebanon to rescue and rehabilitate these incredibly rare monkeys. Monkey World exists to assist governments around the globe to stop the smuggling of primates from the wild. Lebanese authorities are putting a lot of effort into protecting endangered species, and organisations such as Monkey World and Animals Lebanon are here to support their efforts by caring for the refugees of the black market trade. As tragic as their story is, Benny & Nia are the lucky ones that have survived and made it to a safe home. Most die during the hunt or when they are torn away from their families and forest homes to be smuggled across the globe. We cannot give them their natural lives back again, but I am pleased to see that they are enjoying their new home and enclosure and their sad story will hopefully remind people about how important it is to protect endangered species and the habitats which they come from.� The guenons were flown back to Monkey World in Dorset, courtesy of Middle Eastern Airlines, under the care of Dr Cronin, and have been released into a new enclosure. The pair are young and following their harrowing ordeal need to gain weight and get physically fit again but all signs are good that Benny & Nia the white-throated guenons will make a full recovery.

Stan The Man’s final race raises nearly £9,000 for local hospice A family from Poole have raised nearly £9,000 for Forest Holme Hospice at a recent Banger Racing event at Matchams near Ringwood. The Stanley family, who live on Alder Hills, organised the ‘Pete Stanley – One Last Time Retirement Meeting’ in May to celebrate the end of Dad Pete’s 45 years of racing. The brainchild of 23-year-old daughter, SammyJo, Pete only agreed to the event if they could use it to raise money for Forest Holme Hospice. Sammy-Jo, explains, “Dad isn’t one for enjoying any attention so his initial reaction to the idea of a retirement meeting was just as I expected. However, a couple of weeks later he said, ‘you know that retirement meeting, maybe we could do it but I want it to go to charity.’ Before he had a chance to change his mind, I set about organising a big old meeting full of crashes and handshakes to mark his retirement.” “Through blood, sweat, tears and constant phone calls”, Sammie Jo, continues, “I started to piece together an event which included all Pete’s wishes, from his favourite drivers, to his style of racing and then, of course, picking a charity very close to his heart.” Forest Holme Hospice in Poole provides end-of-life care and support to more than 1,000 people each year with advanced cancer and other life-limiting illnesses across Poole, Wimborne and the Isle of Purbeck. The hospice, which needs to raise £850,000 this year, was chosen by the Stanley family as they had provided care, support and counselling when Sammy-Jo’s Nan was ill and when Mum, Linda, had a cancer diagnosis. Sammy-Jo, recalls, “Forest Holme
hospice means a lot to me because it helped at a time when I felt alone and struggled to cope. Their kind staff were there every step of the way supporting me and my family.” Paul Tucker, Fundraising and Communications Manager at Forest Holme Hospice Charity, said, “Words can’t describe how grateful we are for this incredible donation which will help us to continue enhancing the quality of life for our patients and their families. Sammy-Jo has worked so hard to make this event happen and I’m sure her dad, Pete, is very proud of what she has achieved. Every little detail was thought of, from Forest Holme logos on all the rosettes to regular tannoy announcements at the event promoting the charity.” The all-day event, which attracted thousands of visitors, featured ten races with a total of 104 cars involved, including Pete’s very own ‘Stan The Man’ Jaguar XJ6 Series 3 built with Sammy-Jo. She said, “So for one last time, our workshop booming with laughter and full of people all keen to help, we built the final car my Dad himself will ever race. He’s done a great run, so I think he’s welcome to his retirement!”

Heritage: Local Airfields Last month’s article mentioned two local airfields, Ibsley and Hurn, that played a significant part in local WW2 activities. From the very earliest days of powered flight, the area had been much involved in its rapid development, and there are records of some thirteen airfields within the New Forest airfields during WW2. Hurn was created, against the wishes of the landowner, the Earl of Malmesbury, while Ibsley saw the disappearance of more agricultural land under runways partly constructed using rubble created by the bombing of Southampton. Hurn airport was used for many military experimental and trial operations, a number of which were transferred from Christchurch when it became vulnerable to coastal raiders. Amongst these was the development of airborne radar within fighters and other aircraft that led to the tale that eating carrots improved one’s eyesight, and the nickname of “Catseyes” Cunningham, who was involved in these trials. This 1941 AI trials Spitfire at Hurn is from the 2006 book “Bournemouth’s
Airports” by Mike Phipp that covers from around 1910. In 1941, at Ibsley, the 19th century restored Moyles Court and its outbuildings were requisitioned as the airfields administrative buildings, and a number of local properties were taken over as accommodation for the officers. Large numbers of “Maycrete” accommodation buildings were created on several sites to the north, or nearby as service centres or workshops. Postwar many of them were converted into temporary accommodation while people awaited provision of council housing. Odd remnants of these buildings and associated operating and defensive structures lie almost hidden away within the surrounding countryside, such as the “Battle Headquarters” on a ridge overlooking the airfield, but now completely surrounded by trees in the 1950s vintage Newlands Plantation. The remains of the concrete control tower is today still the subject of a local group’s efforts for its preservation, while there is a large memorial to the men and squadrons at the Mockbeggar crossroads.

The other relatively local airfield was at Bisterne, using lands and buildings that belonged to Brixey’s Farm. However, this was very much a temporary and short lived “Advanced Landing Ground”, base to a United States group in the immediate run up to the D-Day landings in June 1944. Sid Deedman’s booklet on this airfield contains a long discussion on “Sommerfield Track” and other attempts to provide runways on open ground. Those used at Bisterne proved inadequate for the heavy P47 Thunderbolt fighter bombers operating there, and for a period the squadrons had to operate from Ibsley. Even here they had their problems, one pilot narrowly missing Rockford School as he returned with his engine on fire before demolishing the nearby W.I. hut. He survived, returned on several occasions for memorial events, and passed away quite recently. On the day of his crash, fortunately, the nit nurse had turned up unannounced, and
children were thus not using the hut for dancing classes. As a precautionary measure, the school, today’s Alice Lisle pub, was closed and the children went to Ringwood and other local schools. Hurn survived postwar to temporarily take on the role of Britain’s “international airport” while the development of Heathrow was completed, saw expansion into aircraft manufacture and allied industries, and survives today as a major hub. Ibsley found some new uses for its runways and perimeter tracks for motor and motorcycle racing, before worked out gravel pits became fishing and water sport lakes and a conservation area. Bisterne …. and most of the others in the Forest …. more or less disappeared apart from the odd structure hidden away in woods and shrubberies. The Friends of New Forest Airfields (FONFA) museum at Sopley contains considerable memorabilia and pictures, but is relatively rarely open. A prime recorder of the airfields stories, amongst others, is Ringwodian the late Sid Deedman. As a schoolboy in WW2, his childhood memories of aircraft events and much else are on record at the Meeting House, including files with the texts of two unpublished books from 2004 and 2008. His locally published series of books on individual airfields are full of technical information, events and personalities, based on professional experience and researches during a long career in the Royal Observer Corps.

Nuffield Health launches new diagnostic cardiac service Self-referral cardiac assessment service now available to Dorset residents. Nuffield Health Bournemouth Hospital has launched a new ‘much-needed’ cardiac assessment service, which has the facilities to identify undiagnosed heart conditions. Nuffield Health’s new cardiac assessment service launched this month at the Bournemouth hospital and is available to all. The facility will provide a thorough look at an individual’s heart using state-of-the-art machinery to help detect undiagnosed heart conditions. The assessment service is aimed at those who might be worried about genetic conditions or are interested in receiving a health assessment of their heart. Suneel Talwar, Cardiologist at Nuffield Health Bournemouth, said: “This is a muchneeded facility as some heart conditions do not present with symptoms. Regardless of
your age or physical capabilities, it may be beneficial to get your heart health checked as many conditions can go undiagnosed until it’s too late. “If there are cases of heart issues in your family, it may be beneficial to seek a health assessment sooner rather than later so that if there are early signs of a heart condition we can give you the medical guidance needed in order to lead a healthy life.” Those who are worried about their heart health are guaranteed to get an appointment within two weeks at convenient hours. During the appointment a cardiologist will provide a full assessment with some results given on the day, and others to quickly follow. For more information or to book an appointment at Nuffield Health Bournemouth Hospital you can call 01202 375032.

Talking about Wildlife...
Summer wildlife
At Dorset Wildlife Trust we know summer is here with the arrival of the little terns and the barn owl chicks. Some of nature’s most exciting displays are about to start… At Lorton Meadows Nature Reserve in Weymouth, the barn owls have already started to rear their chicks. At the time of writing, 5 of 7 eggs have hatched and under the careful watch of their parents, are thriving. Barn owls have been roosting in the box which is specially built into the Lorton Meadows Conservation Centre, since 2010. Last year, we had the most amount of chicks fledge ever (five!), and this year is already looking promising. All this is despite the decline of barn owls nationally. The Lorton Meadows Nature Reserve, which the barn owls hunt for voles and other prey on, seems to have plentiful food stocks. Lack of habitat and nesting space are the main challenges for barn owls, so it’s great that our nature reserve can provide both for these majestic creatures. Watch them live on our webcam, sponsored by Dorset Tea, at www. dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/raptorcam. Over at Chesil, the little tern project is in full swing, with the first egg appearing on 20th May, nestled in the iconic pebbles of Chesil Beach. Each summer these little Little Tern near Chesil Beach Photo: Angela Thomas

birds arrive in Dorset, migrating from Africa for the summer, to breed on the beach, which is the South West’s only colony. Last year, they broke records with breeding numbers, and despite their numbers dropping to their lowest in 1997, careful management of the habitat by volunteers has ensured their continued survival and growing numbers. Little terns are the smallest of the UK terns and are a fast flying graceful little bird with a black cap on their head and a yellow bill with a black tip. You’ll hear them before you see them – with their distinctive ‘creeking’ call. They are ground nesting birds, so the Chesil little tern project, led by RSPB, concentrates on protecting the colony from predators and reducing disturbance. Before the birds arrive, an electric fence is put up around the colony, and a hide is constructed for the wardens and volunteers to monitor the birds 24 hours a day, and scare off any avian predators. The Fine Foundation Chesil Beach Centre has a viewing platform to view these birds, who are hunting for fish in the fleet lagoon. Bring your binoculars! You can also keep track on Twitter (@Little_ tern17) for the latest little tern news. www.dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk By Sally Welbourn

George Augustus Place George Augustus Place was born in Hampreston and in 1838 became a medical officer for Wimborne and Cranborne Union Workhouse. Mr Place was there for five months before resigning on the 6 August. At the time smallpox was spreading in the workhouse due to poor conditions. Also there weren’t many nurses employed there, so smallpox was going undiagnosed and untreated. In 1839 a poster was published about smallpox in the workhouse. Mr Place had contacted The Times newspaper, who criticised the situation in the workhouse.
Opening times: 2 Jan-31 Mar and 1 Nov-22 Dec 2018, Mon-Sat 10am-4pm 1 Apr-31 Oct 2018, Mon-Sat 10am-4.30pm
Hats for All Occasions Apr-22 Dec Costume exhibition exploring how people have expressed themselves in their choice of headwear.
As a result enquiries were made but Mr Place was not satisfied with the findings. He felt that the results left out important information.
Little Explorers
He hoped the poor would benefit from his actions in drawing attention to the shortcomings of the workhouse and the Poor Law.

Adventures of Nellie

The Adventures of Nellie The Dorset Publications Camper Van The isle of Anglesey off the north coast of Wales. Many a good holiday was spent there as a child, so you can only imagine Nellie’s excitement when Stephen’s sister and Dad booked a week there for all of us last month. Driving towards our destination, Nellie was full of nostalgia and fond memories of times gone by. Betws-y-Coed where we met friends years and years ago, Swallow Falls, the low hanging clouds over the mountains, Llyn (Lake) Ogwen and finally we arrived at the shallow tidal waters of the famous Menai Straits which separates Anglesey from the mainland. Nellie danced across the Bridge and there we were on the island. Alan, Stephen’s father is a member of the prestigious “Holiday Property Bond” and we were booked into wonderful cottages overlooking the rolling green golf course at Henllys near Beaumaris, with magnificent views of Snowdonia in the background. Idyllic. Henllys used to be a Franciscan Friary and there is a quiet spot with statues, trees and greenery in commemoration of this. The rest of the magnificent house and grounds now provide stylish Enjoying a “rib-roaring” boat trip to Puffin Island
Nellie enjoys the secluded coves cottages and apartments for those who are investors within the scheme. Nellie was thrilled. Being on a golf course was a great excuse for Stephen to bring out those dusty clubs! It is a while since he has played (must be all that responsibility and hard work he is having to do), so Nellie persuaded him to have a go. Off he went, in a buggy of course, with his uncle David. The were both in complete contentment as they swung those clubs and drove off to find those balls. Uncle David, who does play much more often, shot a birdie (We did explain to Nellie that no birds were hurt in this action…) on hole number 15 and Stephen, well he did not lose ALL of his balls (now now Nellie) and was in fact very happy with his game. Both came back with big smiles and Uncle David unfortunately, also with sore knees. Nellie totally understands! Penmon Point was a favourite of ours in the past. Dad fishing off the rocks, while Mum worried about Sue and I falling on the rocks with waves crashing around us as we ran across to see if Dad had caught anything. The coastline seemed very different this time but maybe it was

29 my imagination? After all, dare I say it is nearly 40 years since we were regularly there! Oh my word how time flies. Puffin Island just off the shore “in those days” was literally that, full of puffins! Now there are around 200 pairs apparently, which is better as they had dwindled down to much less. The good news is that they are on there way up again. Knowing this, we decided to take a boat out to see for ourselves. There are many boats that go out from Beaumaris. We chose a Rib Ride with Seacoast Safaris! Nellie likes excitement and she chose well as Hayden loved it! The young man piloting was very proficient and literally took us for a spin. As a member of RNLI he was well trained and we felt totally safe as he spun the boat in circles before speeding up and chasing the ebbing tide out to Puffin Island. What a thrill! We saw grey seals bobbing up and down, guillemots, kittiwakes, cormorants, razorbills, eider ducks and ONE puffin! The skipper steered us carefully into the cave, smiling while telling us it was a good idea to put our hoods up! Those birds have no manners… It was a great trip and thoroughly recommended if you are ever on Anglesey. Beaches are another must on the island. As a child ‘Me and Dad’ picked winkles
off the rocks at Trearddur Bay and cooked them to eat many a good night. Trearddur Bay had been hit by a bad storm ten years ago and now has a smart new walkway right across the sands. Again, a sign of changing times. Alan and Rachel, Stephen’s dad and sister, love walking and were out each morning by 8am to take in the sites with plenty to see over the 276 square miles that the island occupies. Nellie let us rest, though I think she would have liked to skip along the cliff tops. We did take a walk along the coastal path from Lligwy Beach to Moelfre on a wonderfully sunny day. The ice-cream and coffee were a welcome find at Moelfre before setting off back again to Lligwy beach for a picnic lunch and an afternoon snooze. Nellie likes those! Nellie really enjoyed her stay at Henllys with its full-sized snooker table, huge outdoor chess set, bar billiards, air hockey, table tennis, sauna, steam bath and swimming pool. We certainly were not short of entertainment! The drive home was interesting as you will hear about soon… Anglesey is a wonderful island and if you have never visited there are scores of things to do. Enjoy! By Debbie Corney

SPOTTED… FIFA MASCOT IN POOLE & BOURNEMOUTH Children and adults from across Bournemouth and Poole were treated to a surprise visit from the official FIFA World Cup mascot, Zabivaka.
one who scores’, put his football skills to the test and took part in PE lessons and even met with shoppers at the Dolphin Shopping Centre for a penalty shoot-out.
The Russian grey wolf jetted into Dorset last month ahead of the tournament kicking off. He spent the week with Poole’s famous boat builder, Sunseeker, a Tier One sponsor of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
While in Poole, he didn’t miss the opportunity of going out on the water. He was spotted in Poole Harbour on board a Sunseeker yacht taking in the sights of Old Harry Rocks and Brownsea Island.
As part of his visit, Zabivaka met with Sunseeker staff, he opened the Poole Harbour Boat Show alongside the Ocean Brothers and visited several schools meeting with children and teachers to educate them all about the FIFA World Cup and the countries taking part.
Sunseeker’s Marketing Manager, Bryan Jones said: “It has been a brilliant opportunity for Sunseeker to secure Zabivaka so close to the FIFA World Cup kicking off. He had a very busy week while he was here, and we have received fantastic feedback from all who met him.”

BARBECUED LAMB RECIPE
As summer approaches, you may find yourself wishing to utilise the outdoor barbecue. This recipe offers you the option to either use this for a BBQ or to cook inside and serve with your choice of vegetables.
Ingredients 1 lemon (juice and zest) 2tbsp soft light brown sugar 125ml olive oil 8tbsp balsamic vinegar 2 garlic cloves (crushed) 4tbsp mint (chopped) 400g half boneless leg of lamb
Equipment: Barbecue or griddle pan Method: To make the marinade mix together the lemon juice and zest with the sugar, olive oil and balsamic vinegar and add seasoning. Stir until the sugar has dissolved and then mix in the mint and garlic. Lay the meat in a deep tray. Pour in half the marinade over the top of the meat and turn it over to coat it on both sides. Put the rest of the marinade to one side to use as dressing later. Then, cover with cling film and choose to leave it for 1 hour or alternatively overnight in the fridge. After, remove the lamb from the fridge, shake off any excess marinade back into the tray before inserting a skewer that goes from one corner to the opposite. Do this again with another skewer but in the opposite direction. You can either cook the lamb on a barbecue or a griddle pan and cook on a medium heat. Cook for between 15-20 minutes. Make sure to turn the lamb frequently until pink or cook for longer depending on your preference. Once you have finished, let the lamb rest for 10 minutes and remove the skewers. Serve with your choice of vegetables and pour over the rest of the marinade.

Gardening Tips
a beginner’s
GUIDE Runner Beans
It’s not too late to plant runner beans. My Grandfather always put them in on Whit Sunday, never before, probably because the plants don’t like frost. For the cost of a packet of seeds you’ll get a continuous crop of lovely fresh runners for a month or so, and they freeze really well. Push a bean into a small pot of multi purpose compost and keep it moist. Within a couple of weeks they should start to grow and when you have some sturdy plants with 2 or 3 pairs of leaves they can be planted out in the garden or in deep troughs. If you have a vegetable patch or enough room, construct a wigwam of tall canes (about 6-8 feet) or a
row of crossed canes or even netting for them to grow up. They could even be added to flower beds to give a bit of height as long as they have something to climb up. Next to each cane, dig a hole with a trowel—add some garden compost if you have some or even a layer of newspaper (to hold the moisture) and carefully transplant the bean plants without disturbing the roots too much. Water well and keep them moist in dry spells, especially when the flower buds appear and the pods are beginning to set. Happy harvesting - and don’t forget to leave some pods on the plants to dry out and provide you with a fresh new batch of seeds for next year!

Plant of the month Gerberas
It’s hard not to be filled with a sense of joy upon seeing a Gerbera. These bright and cheerful flowers come in a variety of vibrant colours: orange, yellow, pink, red and white and it’s no surprise that they are the fifth most cut flower in the world. Gerberas are in the Asteraceae family (also known as the Daisy Family) and are native to Africa, South America and Asia. When displaying Gerberas in your house, keep in mind they turn their heads towards the light so be careful about putting them near bright light. They have very long vase lives so make sure to keep their water topped up so you can see their beautiful colours for longer.
