£40k grant to support health care coalition focusing on sharing end of life experiences A group of health care providers across Dorset are working together on a new project focusing on sharing end of life experiences thanks to a one-off grant of £40,000 made by Dorset Clinical Commissioners. Poole Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Forest Holme Hospice, Dorset Health Care and Lewis Manning Hospice Care will be collaborating to focus on making it easier for people approaching the end of life, and their families, to share their experiences, learn from and support each other. The group have also teamed up with Care Opinion (www.careopinion.org.uk) to make it easy for people to share their experiences in their own words online. Clare Gallie, CEO of Lewis-Manning Hospice Care, said: “This project will help us to understand what our patients really want and allow us to focus our support on what really matters to them’’. Palliative and end of life care staff will be invited to respond (including online) to people who have shared their stories. This has been shown in other areas to have a positive impact on staff morale, confidence and sense of purpose at work. The group, including people with lived experience of care at end of life, is also working with values specialist Jackie LeFèvre to understand what stories tell us about what’s most important to us. Saskie Dorman, Consultant in Palliative Medicine at Poole Hospital NHS Foundation Trust who is based at Forest Holme Hospice, Seldown Road, Poole, explained: “The current standard surveys
and requests for feedback from families and patients are relatively impersonal. We don’t learn as much as we could or should from people’s experiences, both what went well and what needs to improve. This work will help us to learn directly from the stories and experiences shared about what’s important to people about their care and support, what’s working well and what needs to be improved.” Dorset Health Care, added, “The opportunity to be part of this project will expand our current patient experience measures and continues our commitment to put patients, carers and their families at the heart of everything we do. We want people to be able to share their experiences of health and care in ways which are safe, simple, and lead to learning and change which we feel is achievable by subscribing to Care Opinions.”

Dorset Quirky Facts It would be hard not to fall in love with Dorset. With its easy charm and inspiring scenery, many have come to adore the beautiful county in all its glory. Whilst it may be difficult to fully explore Dorset’s finest hidden gems during this current climate, from a local landmark often visited by Thomas Hardy to a special kind of local cheese to enjoy, here is another handful of some of the fascinating facts from around Dorset. 1. One person who would openly confess his love of Dorset was famed author Thomas Hardy who would likely share his fondness of the county with another love in his life.The lady in question was a certain Eliza Nicholls to whom Thomas Hardy was greatly attached. The two would spend as much

time as possible together and loved to visit Clavell Tower which was built in 1830. The tower, noted for its circular structure, was built as an observatory looking out over the beautiful Dorset coastline. 2. As so many are celebrating Dorset from the safety of their own home, one of the finest products produced in the county must surely be the Dorset Blue Vinney. It could be said that the local cheese had somewhat of an humble origin after it was created with the left-over skimmed milk from the butter which many Dorset farmers sold in markets. Now it is celebrated and guarded with Protected Geographical Status and has in the past few decades enjoyed great popularity. 3. It would be difficult to select one particular area of Dorset as a favourite however countless visitors as well as local residents have often favoured Lulworth Cove which is not only recognised for its sheer beauty but also its geological importance.

types of rocks can be seen at Lulworth Cove including, Chalk, Wealden Clay, Purbeck Beds, Greensand and Portland Stone, all of which provide a fascinating and rare insight into the geological history of this amazing part of Britain. 4. Did you know that the Portland Bill is the southernmost point in Dorset and that the lighthouse was built in 1906 to replace the two existing lighthouses? The iconic red and white structure has become a popular visitor

attraction as many flock to see the lighthouse which helped to uphold the tradition of providing a guiding light for seafarers. Interestingly, the need for a light was recognised as early as the Roman times when a fire was lit to warn vessels of the dangerous coastlines around the Isle of Portland. 5. King Charles II’s flight from his defeat at the Battle of Worcester and his subsequent journey is a tale that has often been told however an interesting snippet of Dorset’s history also includes the story of how the king’s plans for escape were scuppered by a local woman. The king was eager to escape to France and eventually a certain Captain Limbry was willing to use his ship to transport the monarch. However, the captain’s wife uncovered the plan and whether disapproving of the king or anxious for her husband’s safety, locked Captain Limbry - and reportedly his clothes - away so that he could not help the monarch!

Wildlife News
Honey bees There are over 250 types of bees in the UK but there is only one european honey bee (Apis mellifera). Sadly our Honey Bees are not protected species so they need our help and support more than ever. They are vital for pollina on of crops and many flowering plants.
Why do bees swarm? Swarming is a honey bee colony's natural means of reproduc on. In the process of swarming, a single colony splits into two or more dis nct colonies. In this state the bees will be docile and should be quite easily be collected by a beekeeper. A swarm is usually a temporary phenomenon as the bees will be sending out scouts to look for a permanent home. When a new home is found, usually within 24 hours, the bees will fly off to start a new colony. Swarms in the New Forest normally occur between April un l mid-July.
Are swarms dangerous? A swarm of bees are generally unlikely to s ng. When bees swarm, they will gather in a ten to twenty metre area and will try to cluster on a branch or bush or even under the eaves of a roof. This will con nue for an hour or so, but they will eventually se le down and the large hanging cluster of bees will be clearly visible - this is a swarm. Call the Swarm Coordinator on 07976 258062 for help and advice. The most common insects are honeybees, bumblebees and wasps. There are other kinds of insects that are confused with these, such as Ivy bees, Solitary bees and hornets.
Are these honey bees?
Need help?
If you need assistance with iden fying or rehoming a swarm, the New Forest Beekeepers’ Associa on has a list of experienced beekeeping members in the area that help in the re-homing of honeybee swarms.
To identify or rehome a swarm, please send pictures of the swarm to the swarm coordinator or contact them on 07976 258062
The New Forest Beekeepers host talks on a range of bee related subjects every third Thursday of a month normally at the Lyndhurst Community Centre, but now on Zoom!

Do you drive an automatic car? The majority of car manufacturers recommend changing the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) on automatic gearboxes every 40,000 miles. We have invested and are now equipped with the latest ATF exchanger machine, which runs flushing detergent through the gearbox, thus ensuring a 100% exchange of the total fluid capacity, unlike traditional methods. Are you experiencing any of the following? Rough gear change during acceleration Slow or delayed gearshifts Difficult to move from Park to Drive/Reverse

Samuel THOMAS featured ar st
“
appreciate how much
joy and beauty surrounds us in our everyday
”
Enjoy some of these pain ngs featuring Bournemouth Seafront, Dorset and wider landscapes that will help you reconnect with the joys in your life, and will help you feel op mis c and hopeful for the future that awaits you. A�er all, you ARE what you FOCUS on. The ar st's work is usually on show at Gallery 65 in Westbourne, but currently closed. But you can browse the ar st's online gallery to feel refreshed and upli�ed and enjoy some 'escapism' during lockdown.
We're living in uncertain mes right now with the effect of covid 19 and our new Lockdown Lifestyles that we now find ourselves living every day. You may be wondering about the best ways to remain op mis c and hopeful during your everyday and looking ahead to the future. Ar st Samuel Thomas shares his vision and tac cs on how best to cope during our lockdown lifestyles. He suggests that prac sing daily apprecia on of the small things, remaining hopeful in our mindsets, showing daily gra tude and apprecia on for the small joys within our everyday, being apprecia ve of nature and the fact that the sun is s ll shining whilst looking forward to be er days ahead are all strategies we can all prac ce to help us stay resilient and op mis c at this me.
Samuel Thomas' artworks embody these philosophies as the ar st's upli�ing pain ngs have always been about projec ons of the self into a be er future, because this faith and belief is in the very fabric of our human nature. The ar st explains: 'We all live in hope for the future, but we should also prac ce apprecia ng the smaller joys within our everyday, that we may have overlooked or taken for granted before our Lockdown lifestyles took effect. “I think we're all a bit guilty of this mentality in life, because it's not un l we suffer the threat of losing something that we then start to truly appreciate the value of those things and we then learn to be thankful for what we are blessed with. A crisis (despite how harrowing it can be) can help put our problems into perspec ve and allows us to gain clarity on our lives and focus on what's really important in the short term and in the long term. My pain ngs have always been on a mission to persuade people to stop and pause, and to visually see and appreciate how much joy and beauty surrounds us in our everyday.”

Local Stargazing Pages Welcome to The Wimborne Directory Stargazing Page. Each month I’ll be describing astronomical events that are happening overhead in our beautiful night skies. The majority of them are viewable just by stepping out at the appropriate time and looking up, but some may require a particular vantage point (e.g. a clear view to the west). A cloudless sky is (usually) required! Some viewings will benefit from using binoculars or a small telescope if you have one, but most observations can be enjoyed without either. For your safety, please remember to wait until the sun has set before observing the night sky. International Space Station The International Space Station (ISS) is usually visible at some point during
the night, but often at unsociable hours. During the summer months it is even trickier to see due to the extended daylight hours. At the time of going to press, the only ‘sociable’ overhead pass of the ISS in our skies this month is on the June 1st around 10.10pm. It will be visible moving from west to south, but observing it will require a clear, unblocked view as it will be very low in the sky. Times are subject to change, therefore please visit the free website www. heavens-above.com to obtain accurate flyover timings. Mercury Very difficult to spot this month, but for the first few days of June, if you have a clear, low view to the west after sunset you may spot Mercury towards the WNW.
To advertise in The Wimborne Directory, please call: 01202 894397
27 Venus You may have noticed that the bright ‘star’ in the western evening sky has vanished. Although lost to the glare of the sun for the first half of the month, Venus reappears in mid-June as the ‘morning star’. Mars, Saturn & Jupiter Currently these three planets are visible only in our (very early) morning skies. Over the next couple of months they will move into our evening sky, and as the nights darken they will be better placed for observing. If you cannot wait until then, head out between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. and look towards the south east. Mars is the bright, reddish object on the left, whilst the two bright objects to the right are Saturn and Jupiter (brighter of the two). In the early hours of June 9th the Moon joins the two gas giants making for a pleasant view (see diagram). Moon This month’s full moon on June 5th is traditionally known as the Strawberry Moon. Named by Native American tribes, it is associated with the time of year when strawberries ripen and are ready to pick. In Europe and other countries, June’s full moon is known by many names, including the Rose Moon, Mead Moon and Hot Moon. Other astronomical things of note this month… Midsummer, or the Summer Solstice (from the Latin for ‘the sun stands still’) occurs on June 20th this year. For the northern hemisphere, it
marks the day when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky at noon. This means we experience the ‘longest day’ of the year (the longest period of daylight in one day). The early summer months are the best time to try and spot a rare and beautiful cloud-type: noctilucent clouds. If conditions are favourable, these blue-white illuminated clouds are visible thirty minutes after sunset for a couple of hours, typically in our northern skies. Although the exact cause of their formation is unknown, we know they are composed of tiny water ice crystals and form about 80km up in the atmosphere. Although June itself isn’t well-known for any named meteor showers, in 2014 the UN officially designated June 30th to be Asteroid Day. This day was chosen as it marks the anniversary of the Tunguska Event that took place in Siberia in 1908. Asteroid Day aims to raise awareness about asteroids, and due to the current global situation all events are going ‘online’, so feel free to check it out at https://asteroidday.org/ updates/asteroid-day-2020/ One exciting event over the next few months to watch out for will be NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft taking a scoop of material from an asteroid known as Bennu. This sample will be returned to Earth for scientific study in 2023. The spacecraft did a bit of a dress rehearsal last month, and all went well! Watch out for next month’s pages to see what else you can look for. Kate Earl

Gardening Tips

a beginner’s
GUIDE Watering
The idea of what constitutes a good summer varies greatly according to one’s interests, and the average child or beach lover is happy with bright sun every day but gardeners and farmers crave a bit of moderation.
large containers, that’s all to the good but don’t be afraid to use washing-up water (we haven’t all got dish washers) and bathwater if it’s not too contaminated by bubble bath and suchlike.
Perfection might be sunshine all day and rain at night but that rarely happens so we usually have to spend some time rescuing our water starved plants at some point through the summer. It is better to water heavily, soaking the soil occasionally rather than giving a light shower which will just encourage the roots to the surface and the water will never get down to where it is needed.
Don’t worry about the lawn - grass really is as tough as old boots and although it might look like the Gobi desert, it will all come back to life after a decent drop of rain. If the theories about global warming and warmer summers are to be believed, perhaps we should consider growing more plants that are happier in drier, more Mediterranean conditions rather than our traditional cottage garden varieties. Many grey or silver- leaved plants are a good example. Think about lavenders, rosemary, cistus, many ornamental grasses, bamboo and herbs.
Concentrate on salad crops to keep lettuce and radish etc. crisp and don’t worry so much about crops and plants with deeper roots. If you can catch rainwater in a water butt or
