4 Dear Ferndown & West Parley residents, We certainly have had a rather wet summer which Edition 137 is a shame. We always hope for sun and are well known across the globe for our conversations about the weather. It is so changeable after all! Nellie, the Dorset Publications travelling van, made Debbie & Stephen Corney the most of it for us and with our son Hayden with our good old British attitude we did have plenty of fun. We hope you did too. For those of us with children and grandchildren it is ‘back to school’ for yet another year. Hayden has moved up to Upper School which is very exciting. We managed in all our activities over the summer to redecorate his bedroom and put in a new bed with a nice homework desk underneath, so no excuses now! Let’s see if that works. I am sure it will. Dare I say the nights will be pulling in soon and we will be wrapping up warmer and maybe even putting the fire and heating on. Now is the time to make sure all is in good working order, so do make those all-important calls to the experts who can check it out for you. There are many trades people who could help inside so please do use them. They love to hear from you and it makes all our hard work worthwhile. The lucky winner of the meal for two at the Kings Arms was Pam Merry. Well done to you! Do fill in this month’s wordsearch as you could be the lucky winner this coming month. Oh yes, Nellie has written a fun puzzle book with stories of some of her exploits. If you would like a copy please give her a call. The details are inside. Happy September! Best Wishes,
Welcome...

For the Joy of Giving Through Music At the moment Wessex Chorus community choir are riding high from their sell out concert which was held at the Barrington Theatre, Ferndown, on Friday 4th August, and raised £1300 for the Bournemouth Blind Society. Brief history The choir started 9 years ago. It was founded by the wonderful choir director Martin Arthur. Martin formed a choir (way before Gareth Malone) in order to raise valuable funds for the local Alzheimer’s society, ‘a sort of giving back’ after witnessing the care the Alzheimer’s group gave to his mother. He supported this charity for a 2 year period. TV appearance with John Barrowman Mike, Martin’s partner, applied for a place on Barrowman’s BBC show, ‘Tonight’s the Night’ which was televised in Glasgow for national TV. Martin became part of the show, with the choir – then around 15-strong – making a surprise entry to join him on stage to huge applause and success. This raised the choir’s popularity and its membership has steadily grown to around fifty, now.
promote their profile as a charity fundraising choir. Invited guests include representatives from local businesses, Bournemouth Rotary group, and the Bournemouth and Southbourne Lions club as well as Generous Traders and Sponsors who have supported the choir in the past. Charities supported include: • Bournemouth Alzheimer society (as then was) • Children’s Wish • Youth Cancer Trust (now nationally known) • Help & Care • Bournemouth Blind Society And Finally... In August 2018, Wessex Chorus will be hosting a 10th Anniversary Gala Dinner. The objective for this event will be to acknowledge the sterling fundraising work Martin Arthur has done through the choir and project this work towards the future. Donated funds will be divided between the above five charities. www.wessexchorus.org.uk

Wildlife News
Talking about Wildlife...
Wildlife in Autumn Whilst most of us might be dreading the thought of the seasons changing, autumn can offer up some exciting wildlife spectacles and activity for us to observe and learn about. As the days start to get shorter, wildlife in our woods and gardens gets busy. Autumn is a time of bustling activity; preparation of food reserves and nestling for winter, and, for some, for hibernation. Many a nature lover’s favourite, the dormouse, generally hibernates from October to April, in a hidden nest on the ground. Whilst this tiny creature gains weight from 25 to 40 grams in preparation for its long period of inactivity, this is an extremely vulnerable time for the species and not all survive it. For bird watchers, autumn is a wondrous time: due to its temperate climate, Britain is an internationally important destination for many migrant birds. As summer favourites such as swallows, nightingales and house martins depart, fieldfares, geese and waders, along with many others, arrive in their huge flocks on our shores, creating fantastic aerial spectacles. Brownsea Island at Poole Harbour is ideal for bird watching, and has an added

bonus of a population of red squirrels which can be spotted busily scurrying around the island, storing away their winter nuts and seeds. Don’t forget to check the woodland floor, too, for colourful autumn fungi. Looking after your garden with wildlife in mind at this time of year is crucial, and the good news is, too much tidying up is not a good thing! Hedgehogs, toads and minibeasts all need safe winter quarters; a pile of wood, leaves and sticks in a secluded corner of your garden equals a five star hotel for many wintering species. Be mindful to check November bonfires before lighting, though, for hibernating hedgehogs. Finally, it is not only fauna that can be enjoyed in the autumn; flora will be in bloom as well - join our wild friends and enjoy the many fruits of hedgerow harvest from blackberries to crab apples. Dorset Wildlife Trust’s busiest time of year for practical conservation work starts in the Autumn and Winter.

Replica roundhouse almost complete A replica Iron Age roundhouse is nearing completion at Dudsbury Camp, West Parley. Its construction is part of a heritage project by the Girl Guides, who own part of the hill fort. After planning permission was obtained from East Dorset District Council, surely one of their most unusual applications, the roundhouse has been built over a period of 3 months by Girl Guides, family volunteers, Guide staff and large groups of West Parley volunteers under instruction from experts from the Butser Iron Age Village project in Petersfield. After installing sturdy vertical posts, thin longer lengths of wood were woven between the uprights to make a firm circular wattle wall around a fixed strong frame for the entrance. Grass was then used to infill gaps. Over twenty 4.2 metre long branches were used to make the circular roof structure that was tightly bound at the centre and bound to the wall timbers. 12 circles of thin saplings were then tied between the roof timbers locking them tightly together. When finished, the roof structure, through just resting on the timber walls, was strong enough for someone to lie across it to tie on the 3 tonnes of straw used as roofing. All the walling has been covered inside and outside with a mixture of cow manure, soil and dog hair known as daub that was spread by hand. Three layers were required to build up the thickness and strength, the first one applied thickly to bind into the wattle walling with the next two being thinner to achieve a smooth finish. The overhang of the roof keeps the external wall protected from the rain for some time but if damaged, repairs are simple.
Left a bit says Cheryll
Almost finished! There is no chimney and smoke from the central fire within the roundhouse rises to the top of the house and gradually permeates through the straw roof. This smoky interior was used to store food and deterred insects and birds Though tough twine was used to bind the timbers together and fix the straw for the roof to the roof timbers in this replica, the techniques of its construction were exactly as they would have been in the Iron Age. At that time bracken and brambles would have been used as binding materials. Even using sharp saws and knives the work to cut and trim the many timbers and saplings was not easy so using the bone and basic iron tools available over 2000 years ago must have required a considerable community effort to gather and prepare all the materials used.. The aim of the project was to use as much local material as possible. The wood for the project was cut from the property adjoining the hill fort with the kind permission of the new owner. Fortunately there were plenty of hazel, silver birch, sycamore and holly saplings growing within a dense wood on the site that had grown tall yet were thin due to the lack of light in the wood. Dog hair was used in the daub rather than the normal horse hair and provided by a local dog grooming parlour. The roundhouse should be completed soon and will be used by the Guides groups visiting the Camp for crafting and educational sessions, providing a totally unique experience for them. New signage will be put up to explain about the roundhouse, the hill fort, how people lived in the Iron Age and the history of Girlguiding at the site. John Cullen

Dive into the Ocean Film Festival World Tour This Autumn! The Ocean Film Festival World Tour is returning to the UK this autumn, bringing an evening of inspirational and jaw-dropping ocean films to almost 30 venues across Britain and Northern Ireland in September and October. The event, which originates in Australia, features a brand-new selection of the world’s best oceanthemed short films, with action and spellbinding footage from both above and below the water’s surface. The 2017 film programme sees intrepid freedivers explore haunting shipwrecks, nomadic sailors face the icy waters of Antarctica, and features awe-inspiring marine life such as humpback wales and the endangered Giant Pacific Mantaray. “We’re delighted to be bringing the Ocean Film Festival World Tour back to UK audiences for the fourth year running,” says Tour Director Nell Teasdale. “Featuring incredible cinematography, the films capture the raw beauty and power of the ocean, while celebrating an eclectic and fascinating mix of characters who live for the sea’s salt spray.” The Ocean Film Festival World Tour is also encouraging local households, businesses, schools and any ocean lovers to take part in its Plastic Free July challenge – it’s easier than you think, and a great way to make a difference to this huge problem facing the world’s marine ecosystems! Head to www.oceanfilmfestival.co.uk/plastic-freejuly for fun tips and advice on how to get involved. Highlights from the 2017 Ocean Film Tour include: Sea Gypsies Infinity and her crew are about to embark on an extraordinary voyage: 8,000 miles from New Zealand to Patagonia, taking in the intimidating iceberg-strewn waters of Antarctica along the way.
And just as this is no ordinary journey, this is no ordinary ship with no ordinary sailors. Infinity was built by hand in the 1970s and lacks some of the usual reinforcements considered necessary for such an extreme expedition. That doesn’t deter her crew: a handful of free-spirited nomads, brought together by a love of the open sea and the search for freedom. Whale Catchers High on the rugged cliffs above New Zealand’s Cook Strait sits an unusual group of ‘citizen scientists.’ This motley collection of men in their 70s and 80s are keeping watch for humpback whales as part of the Cook Strait Whale Count – a study into the recovery of New Zealand’s humpback population since the end of New Zealand whaling in 1964. It’s tiring but rewarding work, but there’s a reason that the volunteers are so good at the job. Not only are they descendants of New Zealand’s 200-year history of whaling, they were all once whalers themselves… Fish People To some, the ocean is a fearsome and dangerous place. But to others, it’s a limitless world of fun, freedom and opportunity where life can be lived to the full. From surfers and spearfishers to a former coal miner and a group of at-risk kids in San Francisco, Fish People a film about the transformative effects of time spent in the ocean— and how we can leave our limitations behind to find deeper meaning in the saltwater wilderness that lies just beyond the shore. The Regent Centre in Christchurch welcomes the Ocean Film Festival on Thursday 12th October. Tickets are on sale now.

Jon Egging memorial moved to new location The Jon Egging Trust (JET), was set up in memory of Red Arrows pilot Jon Egging, Red 4, who tragically lost his life on 20th August 2011 whilst completing a display at the Bournemouth Air Festival. The charity realises his dream of helping young people overcome adversity, identify their strengths and work towards their ambitions. The Trust delivers two key youth engagement programmes, Blue Skies and Inspirational Outreach, in conjunction with their partners. It operates in 15 counties, across 6 JET regions. Blue Skies concentrates on raising confidence and aspirations in young people who face significant barriers to reaching their full potential. 228 young people graduated on Blue Skies programmes in the last academic year across the country. Inspirational Outreach was launched in 2014 to reach more young people by offering bespoke support packages to schools based on their needs. Sessions include talks, assemblies, lessons and visits that connect young people to inspirational mentors such as the Red Arrows, the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, injured service personnel and veterans, as well as individuals connected to aviation, engineering and science. Around 10,000 young people have participated in sessions since the launch. In the South West Blue Skies is run in conjunction with personnel from QinetiQ, MOD Boscombe Down, The Empire Test Pilots’ School, Southampton University Air Squadron, Defence Infrastructure Organisation, Wessex Archaeology, Farrow and Ball, The National Trust, Winchester University, the Tank Museum and Cobham Aviation Services. Dr Emma Egging, CEO of JET and Jon
Egging’s widow said: “The Memorial Sculpture has become such a recognisable gateway to the beach from the East Cliff, and a positive emblem representing who Jon was and I am so glad this can continue in its new home. Jon was passionate about unlocking young people’s full potential, and the charity created in his name gives young people the skills and confidence they need to be the best they can be. Inspiration is at the heart of everything the Jon Egging Trust does, and Jon was a hugely inspirational person who helped others to understand that if you reached high enough there were always blue skies. I was adamant that everything that Jon stood for should continue, and so with the help of our partners and 500 inspirational volunteers, the Jon Egging Trust provides support and mentorship to young people facing challenges in their lives. I’m immensely proud, and know Jon would be too, of the fact that in 2012 we started by helping 8 young people in Lincolnshire, and since then we have supported 10000, and expanded into 15 counties. To do this we rely mainly on donations, and we are so grateful for the tremendous support that we have received from the people of Bournemouth in the past 6 years.”
Dawn and Emma Egging with Blue Skies students and Sqn Ldr Ben Plank, ex Red Arrow, Jon’s friend and trustee of JET

What my clients say...
“With my feet needing some TLC, I booked an appointment with Debbie. I have been seeing her regularly since for over 4 years now and I find Debbie to be a very caring professional and when she leaves I always have ‘happy feet’!” Mrs Tricket, Ferndown “I received a visit from Debbie because I had two very swollen toes which were extremely sore and I had started limping. Debbie discovered I had two verrucae and suggested a totally natural, non invasive treatment I could easily do at home. I can now report the problem has gone and I am able to walk without pain or discomfort. Debbie is an absolute delight, always friendly whilst remaining professional. I thank her for her advice, patience and kindness and shall miss my visits now she has resolved my problem.” Mrs Fermor-Dunman, Ferndown

The Adventures of Nellie
The Dorset Publications Camper Van Well Nellie has been really busy this summer. We did think we might have to fit sails to her as there was so much rain but us Brits have a resilience with the attitude of “the show must go on no matter what”. We did just that. Do you remember those holidays long ago hearing the raindrops on the caravan roof, playing cards with Mum and Dad as it was too wet to go out? We had intended for quite some time to take Dad to Norden Farm near Corfe Castle to fish the carp lake I was so excited about some time ago. Thursday Mum and Dad arrived from Hull all raring to go. Friday morning, the set-off day… and the heavens opened! Stephen and I decided, no way, we will never camp in this. Dad however had a different idea. (I think Nellie had had a word with him…) “Let’s get the stuff in the van Deb and see what it’s like when we get there.” He said determinedly. Stephen and I looked at each other. Were we mad? Poor Mum looked confused.
Grandad really means business!
Grandma catches the rare rays by Kombi So, Nellie who is an all-weather girl, grinned like a Cheshire cat as her engine sparked into life and she sprung into step. We were off. When we arrived, the rain had stopped. In fact, it didn’t rain the whole time we put up Kombi Ex, the awning. Result. Dad was smiling. He was also itching to see the pond (fishermen are like that you know, you can’t hold them back), so off we went to see what the water was like. Now, having had rain like that, the pond was very murky, chocolate brown and that doesn’t help the catching of big carp. Oh dear. Dad was still not to be disheartened and out came to rod...and everything else! Not a bite. We did see a few carp floating very slowly on top of the water but I think they were gasping for air actually, through the muddy liquid, and they were not at all interested in eating. As soon as the bait got anywhere near them, they casually swam away. They knew what game we were playing, and they were totally nonchalant about it. Time for us to eat instead then. Nellie took us into Corfe Castle where we had a great pub meal and then, as I did say

39 we are mad, a walk around the outside of the castle in the pouring rain which had started again. There was something really satisfying about that, as if we were defiantly disagreeing with the weather, with sheer determination to enjoy ourselves despite it. That is so British… and I love it! Nellie is Japanese, but has lived here a long time now and has totally adopted this crazy firmness of purpose. Hayden even got creative with his camera on his phone, focusing in on near objects with the castle in the background. With the mist around the castle, it was all very mysterious and peaceful. It is amazing what fun you can have if you ‘go with the flow’ and look at what can be done as opposed to concentrating on the problems, or stops. Nellie is a big believer in that. The next morning was glorious… until 11am. Nellie’s whistling kettle came out, the bacon sandwiches were delicious (if I say so myself) and we sat in wonderful sunshine hearing the birds singing and a few children playing nearby. Nellie was in her element and was fully satisfied with herself, as without her we would never have been there. Dad tried again with the fish, but got the same response. Complete rebuff. Very disappointing for him, but he is a long-term fisherman, now in his 83rd year having started fishing at a very early
Hayden’s artistic castle shot
It’s never too wet for ice cream! age, and has seen it all with regards to fresh water fishing. He is quite a pro, still fishing in matches up North where they live and regularly catches 30-70lb of fish. Just not on this occasion unfortunately. Later we met my sister and her hubby and we went into Swanage to have good old fish and chips. It rained again but umbrellas and coats have their purpose too. Games back at the campsite were hilarious. We played snakes and ladders! With today’s technology it is easy to forget the simple things and boy did we laugh. Nellie tooted her horn and it all got quite competitive. The last day we went for a drive. In fact we did a rather large circle, going into Wareham to have lunch by the river, then to Poole, across the ferry over to Studland (Dad was hoping we would go to the nudist beach, but Mum did hold him back this time) and had dinner at the very popular Scott Arms in Kingston. Another wonderful day. So, I suppose the moral of the story from Nellie is look at what can be done and keep that British determined attitude to have fun, no matter the weather! Where will she take us next? By Debbie Corney

ATTENTION ALL MEN aged 45 and over!
FREE PSA TESTING at St. Catherine’s Hill Community Hall
CHRISTCHURCH BH23 2RR Saturday, September 23rd. 9.00 a.m. - 12.00 A giant leap for Dorset men has been happening during the last 3 years! PCaSO (Prostate Cancer Support Organisation) in conjunction with the Lions Club of Christchurch believe in supporting a man’s right to choose whether or not to take advantage of a free PSA testing programme. Lions, Rotary, Masons, Sports centres and other enlightened charities are now claiming the moral high ground as the NHS and the UK National Screening Committee have advised against introducing a screening programme. We are not bound by official red tape that puts non-symptomatic men at an unnecessary risk of remaining undiagnosed. All tests are conducted by qualified phlebotomists, analysis is carried out at the Dorset County Hospital and results are sent out by our urologist.

Over 47,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer annually. The disgrace is that over 20% of these have advanced tumours which, with earlier diagnosis, could have been more successfully treated (Cancer Research UK).

Making sites more accessible across Dorset and the South West The South West is full of wonderful heritage places to explore, from caves to historic houses and sweeping landscapes. According to the Papworth Trust, disabled adults in the North and South West report the highest number of life areas (education and leisure) where participation is restricted. Despite the efforts of museums, galleries and other leisure attractions, feedback from disabled and Deaf people suggests there is more that can be done to make these places more accessible. The Heritage Ability project, delivered by charity Living Options Devon and supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund has a clear vision - to break down barriers at these heritage places, unlocking the South West for everybody to enjoy. Over the next three years, the Heritage Ability team will support a variety of unique places across the South West to help them improve the experience for disabled and Deaf visitors. From the West tip of Cornwall all the way to Gloucestershire, the team will work with over 19 sites to deliver accessible interpretation, from BSL (British Sign Language) clips, to visual stories and easy read documents. Many sites will also benefit from an all-terrain scooter or ‘Tramper’, which will enable people with limited mobility to access the countryside like never before.
Four heritage places are taking part in Dorset. These are Moors Valley Country Park, Lulworth Cove, Durlston Country Park and RSPB Arne. As part of the project, Heritage Ability are looking for disabled and Deaf volunteers with a passion for heritage to help spread the word, become advocates for the project and help their sites on their ongoing journey. They also need your help to conduct some mystery visits at the sites and provide feedback which the team can use to help the sites improve. If you’d like to be involved, take a look at the website at www.heritageability.org. You can email the team at heritageability@ livingoptions.org or call 01392 459222. You can also send a SMS to 07958 517919.

Local Assistance Dog Charity Needs Help To Expand Verwood based Assistance Dog charity “Woofability” is appealing for more volunteers to help train their puppies and dogs as demand increases for their services. Chief Executive Andy Clarke says “We help children and adults with a wide range of disabilities including children with Autism or Down’s Syndrome. The effect a dog can have is truly remarkable and we are always inspired by seeing the results of our work.” Emma, Maxwell and Buddy Emma is 9 and has Autism, severe anxiety and has 40 epileptic absences each day. She has great difficulty in leaving the security of her own home and does not attend school because of her anxiety. We visited her with our Golden Retriever “Maxwell” who is particularly calm and ideally suited to support Emma. During our first visit, we took Emma to her local Asda Superstore which she had been unable to visit for several years and her father was amazed at how she coped for 25 minutes with no adverse reaction. The following day Maxwell visited school with Emma for just half an hour when all of the teachers came to see her and then went to Costa Coffee and McDonalds where she had never been able to go previously. Emma’s parents still cannot believe the difference in Emma’s ability to cope with the outside world and she hasn’t had any epileptic absences, her school arranged for Emma to restart her mainstream education and to take Maxwell with her to the delight of her teachers and fellow students. After three months the family went on holiday for the first time in years as Emma, her parents and younger sister are able to embark on a more “normal” lifestyle.
friends with poor Maxwell who passed away peacefully on 7th July 2017 having changed Emmas’ life forever. Demand for their services is overwhelming with many thousands of dogs needed across the UK. The charity is expanding rapidly having started their own breeding programme to ensure a constant supply of quality puppies with the right personality, just like the ones in this picture. They need more volunteer Puppy Parents to help socialise and train puppies from 8 weeks old for about a year as they progress on their remarkable journey to transform someone’s life for the better. If you have time and are able to commit to having a gorgeous puppy for a year, the charity would love to hear from you. Puppy Parents will be able to stay in touch with their puppy during its’ 2 ½ year training programme and when it is partnered. “Keeping in touch is very important for everyone who works at Woofability, our volunteers and partners too, it means that we are all one big family who support each other and have close bonds with our dogs for life.” Says Katie Fenton who is responsible for Puppy Parent recruitment. If you are interested in finding out more, please contact Katie on 01202 814643 or 07790 341721 or email katie.woofability@gmail.com
Emma had no seizures and was enjoying a “normal” lifestyle but as with many good things in life they come to an end, tragedy struck when Maxwell was found to have terminal cancer which meant that he had to retire from school duties but still lived at home. Woofability quickly found a replacement dog called Buddy who was nearing the end of his training, he has helped Emma to continue with her schooling and became great

Gardening Tips
On Your Plot Herb Gardens
Nature tends to dictate what we do in the garden and sometimes it’s just too late to plant those seeds, too early to prune that bush and incredibly you are already on top of the weeding. So what can you do to fulfil that urge to work the land? Why start a herb garden of course!
Jobs for September :-
• If you are growing pumpkins for Halloween, you need to support the fruit as it swells and raise it up to keep it off the wet ground and deter slugs. Restrict each plant to no more than three fruits. • Clear up finished crops, clean and store any supports or netting for future use. • Keep planting winter lettuces for a supply of fresh leaves right through autumn. • Fancy fresh strawberries next year? Now is a good time to get new plants established. • Add support to Brussels sprouts by drawing up earth around the stems, or using canes. Most activity on your plot is tied to the seasons, but this month we take a look at one project that can be started off at almost any time of the year - your own herb garden. As we’ve taken to growing more and more of our own food so we have found ourselves getting increasingly interested in trying out new recipes to make the most of all those lovely fresh flavours. Recipe books abound in our kitchen and they all have one thing in common - the use of herbs, and what a variety of them there is! Whether you’re looking for a sprig of fresh mint, a handful of rosemary, or some chopped chives what could be better than being able to choose and harvest them right outside your own back door? Choosing the right site for your herb garden is important, and outside your back door is often a good place to start! Planting near the kitchen makes it easy to pop out for a few fresh leaves when you are cooking, and many of us have a patio which can easily become home to a variety of container grown herbs. Herbs can make an
attractive, fragrant and tasty addition to your borders, or you may prefer to opt for a permanent herb bed. If this is the case you will need to give some consideration to containing the growth of some of the more vigorous varieties. This can be done by dividing the bed (a cartwheel design made with bricks is very attractive), or by using pots sunk into the ground. Herbs comprise of both annual plants, that germinate, grow, flower and die within the year, and perennials that will grow on from one year to the next. Whatever you plant, you will need to find out which type it is and the conditions that it favours. The more hardy perennial types such as thyme, rosemary or mint may be happy outside all year round. One of the advantages of using containers is that tender varieties can be moved under cover during the worst of the winter and even tender annuals like basil can have their season extended by lifting plants to pot up and keep on the kitchen windowsill as autumn approaches. Most types of herb can be raised from seed, but for a quicker start browse the farmers market, garden centre, or even car boot sales for plants that are ready to go. One of the great things about a herb garden is that it can be continually evolving. Look upon it as just the start of a collection, that will grow with time. Adding a new variety can be as simple as picking up a plant that takes your fancy on a trip out and adding a new pot to your collection. As well as using herbs fresh from the garden, you can dry leaves by hanging in bunches and then storing in an airtight container, or use ice cube trays to freeze chopped up leaves with a drop of water. Store the cubes in polythene bags, great for adding to a stew in the middle of winter!

Travel Isle of Wight
By Tim Saunders – www.travelwriter.biz
A breath of fresh air. That sums up the Isle of Wight in more ways than one. You see not only is it renowned for its clean air, many of the facilities and attractions are also of a high standard. “The Victorians visited the island for its superior air quality, which promoted good health,” explains Cherry Sanders, co-owner of Appuldurcombe Gardens Caravan and Camping Site at Ventnor, where we stay in a static caravan. “I originally come from the Midlands but moved here 12 years ago to live my mum’s dream of running a holiday business here.” The 14.5-acre site has 40 static caravans and 130 pitches for camping. It was a finalist in the Practical Caravan Top 100 Sites 2013 awards, testament to its excellent facilities, which include an award-winning toilet block with walk in showers “more like what you would find in a good quality hotel than a campsite,” my wife says. There’s also a delightful heated outdoor swimming pool, which opens from 8am to 9pm and no matter when you swim it is just the right temperature. The children’s play area includes swings, a slide and an assault course, which Harriett (3) completes. I don’t know of any other campsite that boasts a duck pond and holds a David Bellamy Gold Award for Conservation. Our static caravan is a good base from which to explore the island. We quickly realise that our limited time here will not allow us to cover everything that we want to and so pick a few attractions to visit.
As we are staying at Appuldurcombe Gardens, it is important that we visit Appuldurcombe House and Farm Park because at one time this was all one site and so all the gardens here and the orchard in the campsite have been designed by Capability Brown. Appuldurcombe House and Farm Park is literally just up the road from the campsite and is now run by English Heritage. There are two separate entrance fees for each attraction. Both are well worth a visit and between them make a fabulous day out. The house, when inhabited, was the largest private house on the island with 365 windows and seven staircases. We enjoy a picnic in the grounds where the children roam free. It is possible to rent one of seven holiday cottages here. The farm park is home to a variety of birds including owls, falcons and an eagle. There is so much to learn including how when falconry was introduced in 860AD in the UK it was only kings who could fly eagles. Apparently, falcons live twice as long in captivity because they don’t have to work as hard so will live for 20 years. There are activities scheduled throughout the day to keep us all amused. We enjoy a bird display, a ride in a tractor trailer taking in the spectacular views and a stroll around the farm where we see goats, pigs and sheep. The play area is much appreciated by our two daughters. When we visit The Isle of Wight Bus Museum at Ryde we are not sure how our little daughters will react. But to our surprise they thoroughly enjoy it, each wanting to steer and take turns at being passengers. Home to 23 buses, the museum has done a marvellous job in preserving this little bit of island heritage. The visit reinforces how design has, in my opinion, gone backwards; old buses with real wood interiors look so much more attractive than new ones. These buses are also driven on the road.

Auto Biographies Motoring
VW Passat GTE By Tim Barnes-Clay, www.carwriteups.co.uk
The GTE badge was first ushered in with the VW Golf and it eventually made its way to the more conservative Passat. Bolting a plug-in petrol-electric propulsion unit to a model that is best known for its diesel pulling power was perhaps a brave move for Volkswagen. But it seems to have paid off with the Passat. Like the Golf, the VW Passat GTE’s looks are characterised by C-shaped LED lights accommodated in its bumper, and the blue bar that stretches across the headlights and grille. It’s a restrained fine-tuning of the Passat’s tailoring, although, given the intense hue of blue, the use of which even expands to the car’s brake callipers, the GTE model is simple enough to distinguish from diesel Passats. The battery capacity and output have been given a bit of a boost, but the petrol-electric set-up is fundamentally the same as in the VW Golf GTE’s. The 156PS 1.4 TSI petrol unit and 115PS electric motor combine to make 218PS, giving a 0-62mph sprint of 7.4 seconds. Top speed is 140mph, but unless you’re on a German autobahn, you’re unlikely to risk finding out what that feels like. Step into the cabin and the Passat GTE houses a few understated touches, such as blue piping, blue stitching, aluminium trim and GTE emblems. Other than that, the switchgear and seats are the same as in any other Passat. And, as with all Passat saloons, space is generous. Even with the car’s lithium ion drive battery beneath the rear seats, the VW has good room and a boot that is big enough for a family’s needs. The Volkswagen’s electric charging time is easy to cope with. Plugging the car’s seven-pin charge cable into a 16A wall socket, I got the 9.9kWh battery from a quarter charged
to 100 per cent in under two hours. The GTE runs well on electric-only juice, with a possible range of 31 miles on zero emissions. In Hybrid form the VW saloon responds admirably, even when the petrol engine has closed, which it’ll do at moderate motorway speeds. The power unit restarts effortlessly when it needs to, while the car’s cruise control allows it to store its own impetus and cruise economically. The Passat GTE’s handling is as good as its performance. You can thrust the saloon through bends and its tyres will dig into the tarmac strongly. There’s very little body roll, and the steering, while not delivering that much feedback, is precise. Here’s the important bit, though. VW claims the Passat GTE will do 156.9mpg on the combined cycle. But, as with all cars, this model’s economy will depend on what your driving is like. On a 60-mile run, beginning with a fully charged battery and driving on a mix of roads, I achieved 80.1mpg. Volkswagen’s Passat GTE is, without doubt, a talented car and an attractive vehicle in a wider sense than a conventional high-performing, fully loaded volume-marque. By blending large car pragmatism with a sophisticated plug-in hybrid system, VW has produced one of the greatest reasons yet to think about swapping from a standard oilburning business saloon to an electrically powered one.
