The Ferndown & West Parley Directory
Dear Ferndown & West Parley residents,
I do love November and Bonfire Night. It is as special today as it was when I was young. The family fun atmosphere, the burgers, hotdogs Debbie & Stephen Corney and burning wood smells in the air. The cold, wrapped-up feeling with bright lights suddenly appearing all over the night sky. Oh yes! I do hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Please keep your pets safe.
Welcome...

Talking about... R and A Fabrications We are a young and modern company, but we have very traditional values. Above all, that means we believe in good old fashioned personal customer service. We won’t make promises we can’t deliver, and what we say we will do, we do. Here, some of our customers give their glowing testimonials of our work for them: “We are very impressed the quality of the granite worktop and the professional installation. Donna did a great job of the templating and provided good information on the aftercare of the granite. A big thank to all involved from inception to completion. Much appreciated. We would definitely recommend R & A Fabrications to friends and family. Regards Darren & Suzanne S, 3 May 2018” “The worktop is now installed. It looks fabulous and the guys made a lovely job of it. We came to you by recommendation and as the huge slab was being put down, it struck me how worrying it would be, if we were to be dealing with someone we had just found
rt to appear in the AZINE 2016
on the internet! A great local service, we have been very impressed from start to finish. Kind regards, Jonathan G, 20 June 2018” “I came home last night and I must say the work top is absolutely beautiful, please thank everyone for all their hard work it has really exceeded our expectations. Once again thank very much for a job exceedingly well done! Rob & Val F, 24 July 2018 “ “We are so pleased with what you have done for us and will definately recommend you guys in the future! Lucy D, 13 August 2018”

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 Ferndown area and
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!

Wildlife News
Talking about Wildlife...
There’s something wild about Brownsea
Dorset Wildlife Trust is launching a new and exciting project called Wild Brownsea designed to bring people in Dorset closer to nature and needs your help to secure the future of a unique island.
Over the next three years we will look to upgrade the visitor facilities on the island’s nature reserve, while reducing the impact of visitor numbers on the fragile island habitat. By recognising the islands full potential as the perfect place to offer a richer wildlife experience, we will inspire future generations to protect our precious wildlife and wildplaces. But we need to reach our fundraising target by January 2019, for every £1 you donate the wildlife of Brownsea gets £10. For such a small island Brownsea has had an eventful past and now looks to play an equally important role in the future of wildlife conservation in Dorset. It has been gifted by Kings and Queens, set alight and bombed by the Luftwaffe in WWII and even hosted the first Boy Scout camp in 1907. It’s a wonder it’s survived to tell the tale. Luckily for us it has endured and offers Brownsea Island Lagoon

such a biodiverse habitat for wildlife to flourish. Nicki Tutton; our Brownsea Island Engagement Officer talks passionately about the project “Having worked and volunteered on the island for so long, I can see its amazing potential to inspire the public, as it inspired me, and to make the most of the opportunity to encourage future generations to care about wildlife and conservation.” With our fundraising deadline fast approaching we need your help in reaching our target before January 2019. The total project costs are estimated at £1.2million, we have already managed to secure 90% of the funds, but we simply need your support to reach the final target. Through working in partnership with The Heritage Lottery Fund, the wildlife of Brownsea will get £10 for every £1 you donate! Please help us realise our vision for the Brownsea Island Nature Reserve, by supporting our Wild Brownsea project www. dorsetrwildlifetrust.org.uk/wildbrownsea By Sally Welbourn Communications Officer

SAFER DRIVING IDEAS DASH CAM
Fully Fitted from only
£65
with this voucher
If you’re a safe, conscientious driver, a dash cam helps protect your no-claims bonus, as well as guarding against dangerous drivers, road rage incidents, ‘crash-for-cash’ scams. Already fitted in over 3 million UK vehicles Motabitz can now offer a Fully Fitted service making this worthwhile addition to your driving an easy no fuss option. For as little as £65 we will supply and hard wire fit (no wires trailing or blocking your cigarette lighter) a Ring Automotive Dash Cam into your car. We’ll advise on location, show you fully how it works and the model supplied has the following features:• The 120° degree lens captures the action - providing evidence if there is an accident, reducing your risk of insurance fraud, and, in some cases, even cutting down your insurance costs. • The device automatically turns itself on when you start your car, and off again when you stop the engine – meaning it won’t drain your battery once you’ve parked up. • Loop recording continuously captures footage, overwriting old files with no manual changes to make. No need to worry about important files though – you can choose to lock the ones you want to keep. You will need an SD card for storage of the footage. We can supply if you don’t have one. We also offer more sophisticated models with viewing screens, parked recording initiated by movement or models with excellent night time recording modes. Just ask us. Our team really are here to help.
REVERSING SENSORS
Parking has become increasingly more difficult and if you have never experienced the joy of parking sensors fitted to the rear of your car you don’t know what your missing. They really help provide an easier parking solution, improve peace of mind and help get you parked safely. They do come with an irritating beep though! For as little as £99 we will supply and fit 4 reversing sensors to the rear bumper of your car and provide an audible warning as objects approach. The audible warning beeps get faster the closer you are to an object. We also offer options to colour code the black sensors to the colour of your car and models with both visual and audible warnings. Talk to us as some vehicles are more complicated to fit but we always give a fully fitted price and stick to it before we start any work.

Wills, Estate Planning and Lasting Power of Attorneys Do you know when you should update your will and check your Lasting Power of Attorneys are in place? A recent survey has revealed that over half of people have not updated their will or organised their Lasting Power of Attorneys. An online poll indicated that while people had started to recognise the importance of consolidating their final wishes, they were unaware of the need to review them. Whilst writing a will is important, the need to review and update them regularly should not be overlooked, particularly after a significant change in circumstance. The results of the poll suggest that many people are unaware of the need to check their will, not to mention the impact which legislative and familial changes can have on the distribution of their estate. Nigel Skilton of Dorset Wills commented. “Any change in circumstances can have a huge impact on your will. Marriage is the big one. There are a lot of
couples out there that made a will together before they married, perhaps when they bought a house together, or had children, and they don’t realise that getting married automatically invalidates any existing will. “As estates fluctuate in value, people need to make sure their will is consistent with their finances. As wealth increases, so does the impact of inheritance tax, which means careful planning is needed to take advantage of available exemptions and allowances. “And no one in this modern age should be without Lasting Power of Attorney’s. A properly constructed will ensures your wishes are met when you are no longer with us. Your Lasting Power of Attorneys ensure your wishes are met while you are still with us but unable manage your own affairs either due to an accident or disease such as Dementia or Alzheimer’s.” There is never a better time than now to check your will.

In the treetops There are also educational talks for the youngsters and adults alike, so you can learn as you look. Now, I was there with two active ‘boys’. One my husband and one our 14 year old son, so this wonderful calmness I was experiencing was not going to last long. No. Mum there is an exciting, fast and exhilarating life to lead out there, after-all, there is the adventurous “Hangloose” Zip Wire and colossal Swing to fly on! Oh dear, it had to be done.

Up, up and away... screaming away. It was a far cry from my blissful wander with nature. Fun though I have to say, but shush, don’t tell the boys that! Stephen and Hayden had a thrilling ride on Zip Wire, while I looked after the bags (a rather good excuse…). Stephen, who does not like heights, tried to get off rather quickly at the end and looked a little white, but I think he enjoyed it! Actually, both he and Hayden were grinning from ear to ear. It gave them that adrenaline rush these boys so yearn. Oh for that cup of coffee… The whole day was truly enjoyable. Tim Smit wanted to create a “symbol of optimism where ordinary people working together could do the nearly impossible.” What an amazing purpose. Nellie was truly impressed when we recounted our day to her. Ever optimistic herself and always happy when we have a family day out, she also grinned from headlight to headlight.

What my clients say...
“I have been going to Debbie for 6 years now. Having thickened toe nails made my feet vey uncomfortable but over time with care and patience and ongoing care I no longer get any pain. With advice on how to control the hard skin on my feet and various other minor problems I feel like I have new feet!” Mrs S, Ferndown “I have been a client of Debbie’s for 4 years. I find her to be friendly and professional always giving me good advice about the care of my feet. Her knowledge of podiatry is really helpful when determining the best treatment for my feet and ensuring they remain comfortable between visits. My feet definitely benefit from regular treatment and with Debbie’s attention (even checking my pulse) they are ‘trouble free’ feet that I don’t have to worry about.

Gardening Tips
a beginner’s
GUIDE
Spring Flowering Bulbs
Many bulbs, such as crocus, daffodils and snowdrops will increase naturally in most sites and with different flowering times there will be a succession of interest. If planted in your flower beds, the dying foliage will be hidden by growing herbaceous plants and shrubs. Bulbs are best planted in groups of similar colour and a wonderful show will be created if they are combined with flowers of contrasting colour that bloom at the same time. Try tulips planted with forget-me-nots or wallflowers.
Under trees with no leaves, bulbs will get any available sunlight so will grow happily and give a welcome splash of colour when nothing else has yet woken up. Bulbs can be planted in grass - perhaps in the lawn or a grassy bank - as long as the foliage has time to die down before the first mowing. Grass protects bulbs from mice and squirrels. Try Anemone blanda, chionodoxa, crocus, fritillaria, daffodils (narcissus). Some bulbs are best lifted each year such as tulips and to make this easier you could try planting them in large pots and sinking them in the ground. After the leaves have died down, lift the bulbs and let them dry out. Store somewhere cool and dry and replant in October/November for a spring display. If buying new bulbs, plant as soon as possible and before they start growing. For instance, most daffodils will start producing roots by late summer and other bulbs by midautumn. One exception is snowdrops. These are best bought 'in the green' which means the leaves are already growing and they are then planted and left to spread. Bulbs should always be planted with, at the very least, 2-3 times their own depth of soil above them or even more if the soil is very light. If bulbs become overcrowded, lift them in the dormant season after the foliage has died down. Clean off the soil, leave them to dry then store in paper (not plastic) bags to await replanting.

Understanding Investments: What are they and why should you own them? I am going to flip the question around to first answer “Why should you own them?”. To which there is a one-word answer; Inflation! Inflation is the silent assassin to a comfortable retirement and currently stands at between 2.7% and 3.5% per annum (depending on its measure). It reflects the price increase of a basket of goods & services and at 3.5% prices double every 20 years - unhelpful for people on a fixed income in retirement! It is usually vital that savings are able to at least keep pace with inflation, otherwise your capital on paper might be growing but its purchasing power is actually diminishing. If your savings can grow at a higher rate than inflation, you will require less savings in the first instance or they will last longer during retirement. What are Investments? “Cash is king” is a correct statement for short term expenditure, i.e. for any capital required within the next 3 to 5 years. It is low risk, relatively secure and provides liquidity. However, the returns are low and won’t combat inflation. I will focus on 3 of the main asset class alternatives. Fixed Interest Investments Government Gilts & high-quality Investment Grade Corporate Bonds are a way for the Government (Gilts) and Corporations (Bonds) to borrow. They are issued for a fixed term and offer a fixed level of interest (coupon), usually at a higher rate than cash. They won’t beat inflation but are a way to earn more interest than cash whilst taking a low level of risk. Property Residential and Commercial Property has the ability to appreciate in value over time. It can also generate an income (buy-to let
residential or as a commercial landlord). Therefore, it can be effective as Howard Goodship an asset to beat inflation but can also go through periods of decline and at these times can be relatively illiquid. Shares - (Stocks/Equities) A way to purchase a small piece of a company and share in the company profits. A company will usually reinvest part of their profits for future growth and pay a proportion to shareholders as a dividend. Over time, rising profits should lead to a rising share price & dividend payments, which help meet or beat inflation. However, over the short-term prices can fluctuate up or down significantly depending on many external factors. Clearly there are risks associated with each asset class, which is why owning a combination of them all is often the most effective way to invest. How much you have to invest, your proposed lifestyle, your sensitivity to fluctuations in the value of your capital and your timescale will dictate how much you invest in each asset class. In the next issue, I will explain the most common products and tax wrappers available in each of these assets and discuss ways to diversify and reduce risk. I will leave you with a quote from Benjamin Graham (Warren Buffett’s mentor); “Successful investing is about managing risk, not avoiding it”.
