Dear Neighbours, I wonder if the cold weather which we have Edition 162 been promised will be here by the time you read this? To date we have been really lucky with the mild climate. Certainly, on New Year’s Day, which seems oh so far away now, we Stephen, Debbie & had a wonderful stroll at Hayden Corney Durdle Door and then a walk back in time at Tyneham Village, all in bright sunshine and very mild temperatures for the time of year. You can read all about it in this month’s issue of your magazine. I do think it is important to get out in the fresh air when we can. How are you doing with your plans for 2019? We booked our holiday last week, which is very exciting. Hayden is going skiing with school in Italy, something none of us have done before, so I am sure he will really enjoy that. He is also busy with his Duke of Edinburgh Award, doing some volunteering work and has joined a running club with his friend. I wish I was that energetic! All in all, we have had a pretty good start to 2019. How about you? Don’t forget that if you need help with the house; renovations, plumbing problems, electric issues, decorating badly needing doing, the garden is unsightly, the trees have taken over, then the local trades people inside your little magazine are here for you. Give them a call and do mention us. We know many of them fairly well now. There are also some new advertisers, so take a look at the index and see who can make your life a bit easier, or help things look and work better for you. The lucky winner of the prize wordsearch last month was Robbie Hewitt. Well done to you! Here’s to keeping warm and cosy this winter,
Welcome...

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 West Moors 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...
Birds of a feather... At about 4pm on a cold winter’s day, the sky may come alive with the shape of birds flocking together, with the sudden deafening sound of chitter chatter filling the air. One of wildlife’s most spectacular sights is approaching – a swooping and swirling murmuration of starlings. It may surprise you to know that starlings are actually becoming a less common sight in the UK, so seeing a flock of them is a wonderful thing. Other winter visitors flocking include birds from Eastern Europe and even species from the far northern regions, such as redwings and fieldfares from Scandinavia. So, why do birds flock? Well, why not! Birds can move easily and quickly, so they make the most of an annual trip to the UK, with an abundance of food, and a warmer climate to enjoy. Flocks of birds are also essential for their survival this time of year, as
Starlings

their main advantage is literally their safety in numbers and they can distract predators with the sheer size of the group, making it hard for them to focus on just one bird when there’s so many, so close together. Large groups of birds can also stay warm, and hunt together, increasing their chances of survival. Dorset Wildlife Trust nature reserves are an excellent place to witness these special wildlife sights this winter, but you are also likely to see some activity in your own garden, by leaving out water and food for birds. Winter is a hard time of year to find food, so they need all the help they can get!

Providing the answers
to your legal questions
Is it true a ‘Common Law Marriage’ means nothing in law? There are about 3.3 million unmarried couples currently living together in the UK. That is about 1 family in 5, and this is also the fastest growing family type. There are many reasons for choosing not to get married, but many unmarried couples do not realise that they are leaving themselves in a precarious financial position. This is because many of these couples mistakenly believe that if a couple lives together for long enough, or after they have had children together, that they will each automatically have the same legal rights and responsibilities as a married couple if they later split up or one of them dies without leaving a Will. Whilst unmarried parents do have legal and financial obligations towards any child they have together, the same does not apply between the parents themselves.
What is the process of making a Will? We spend our whole lives working to provide for ourselves and the people we love. To ensure that the assets that you have worked so hard for, pass to the people that you love, it is important to make a Will.
However, there are steps which cohabiting couples can take to protect themselves from any problems arising from separation:
Cohabitation Agreement - This records the couple’s intentions concerning property and other financial support for their children if they separate. Declaration of Trust – This records how the equity in a property, should be shared between a couple even if their financial contributions are not equal. Make a Will – This details how financial support will be provided to the survivor on the death of their partner. For further information please contact a member of the Family Law team.
Cath Porter
Next, a draft Will is prepared to make sure you are happy with the content. This gives you the opportunity to add any additional beneficiaries or make any amendments. Once you are satisfied with the content of your Will, a meeting will be arranged with you again to sign the original document. Once signed, you can choose whether to store your original Will within the strong room (free of charge) or keep the original at home. The aim is to have your Will completed within two weeks of taking your instructions.
At Harold G Walker Solicitors, the friendly staff like to make the process as straightforward as possible for you. Beginning with an interview, in the office or if preferred, in the comfort of your own home. You will be made aware of all of the different options available and what can be included in your Will, such as guardians for your children, specific gifts and funeral wishes. Advice can also be given on Inheritance Tax if necessary. Your instructions are then Please contact a member of the taken and if you are happy to proceed, Wills & Probate team for further answering any further questions you may have. information.

Wills, Property Protection Trusts and Lasting Power of Attorneys We discuss the difference between legal professionals and the benefits of home visits for clients. We are often asked what is the advantage of using a member of the Society of Will Writers and Estate Planning Practitioners (SWW) over a more conventional high street solicitor. There are many good reasons, here are just a few: 1. Members of SWW are fully trained specialists in the field of will writing and estate planning. All have professional indemnity insurance, are regulated and adhere to the SWW code of practice. 2. Members also provide clients with the convenience of attending them in their own home and at a time that is suitable. 3. Taking instructions in the privacy of the client’s home is not only about convenience. In the absence of such a service many
people who need a Will or Power of Attorney’s would go without if they were housebound, elderly or frail and could not get to a high street solicitor. As a member of SWW, Dorset & Wight Wills has a totally transparent pricing policy. Our prices are clearly shown in all our adverts and we will send you a full pricelist with confirmation of your FREE home visit appointment. We offer various packages to make the whole process of getting your affairs in order both simple and cost effective. It is estimated that 67% of people in the UK do not have a Will or Lasting Power of Attorney in place. With almost 1 million people living with dementia and the total growing yearly, perhaps now is the time to call Dorset & Wight Wills on 01202 065953 or 01983 623900.

Gardening Tips
52
On Your Plot Now is the time to go undercover It’s still pretty chilly during February but planting seedlings under glass (or plastic) can give you a great start for the season ahead. A bit of time and money invested now in a polytunnel or greenhouse will give you benefits for years to come. Can’t wait for Spring to come? There’s plenty of vegetables that can be started off indoors now.
Jobs for February:-
• Erect a cold frame, polytunnel or greenhouse • Plant out onion sets • Sow tomatoes indoors • Chit seed potatoes • Sow early beetroot and summer cabbages • Plant soft fruit bushes The days are getting a little longer, green shoots are starting to appear and we’re all just itching to get out in the garden now. Just one problem - it’s still likely to be blooming cold! Extremes in weather are typical for this month so even if we do have a warmer spell I wouldn’t be in too much of a hurry to start sowing seeds outdoors. It’s at this time of year that having some undercover growing space is a real boon - not least because it’s so much more of a pleasure working in a protected environment, basking in the glory of those few rays of sun, than it is feeling a gale force wind that seems as it if’s come straight from the arctic! If you don’t have a greenhouse, polytunnel or cold frame then why not think about investing in one now? Get it built in February and you can get a head start on many plants for the season to come. Which is best? Consider the space available - if space is limited then a cold frame, may be a good option. Green houses can offer lots of benefits but are generally not a great idea if your garden is also the kids play area and they can be hugely expensive. On the plus side, they
are not easy to get rid of so if you’re prepared for a bit of work you may be able to pick up a second-hand one very cheaply providing you are happy to dismantle and move it yourself (try free cycle). We opted for a polytunnel, which was very reasonable in price and gave us several weekends of entertainment building it. Follow the instructions carefully, don’t rush it and you’ll need at least 2 of you when it comes to putting the plastic on. With both greenhouses and polytunnels you need to remember that they can become very hot in the summer and ensure that adequate ventilation is available. So, now that you have this great new space what can you plant in it? Early tomatoes can be started off in pots and if you plant some summer cabbages now you can get them established and benefit from a crop by late spring or early summer. Cucumbers, beetroot, leeks and lettuces can also be sown indoors and if you want to try something a little more exotic why not plant some peppers, aubergines and even a melon? This is also a good month to think about soft fruit . Most fruit bushes, trees and canes need time to get established before you start to get a good yield and it is easy to overlook them in favour of crops that give a quicker return. If you don’t have any fruit growing on your plot how about adding just one type of fruit each year? You could plant raspberry canes this month, or incorporate a gooseberry or blackcurrant bush into your border. If you have pot grown strawberries that have spent the winter indoors then place them outside as they will only flower after exposure to cold weather. Plants that have over wintered outside can be brought in now.

‘Walk For Hope’ Means Cancer Patients Never Have To Walk Alone Wessex Cancer Trust’s biggest annual fundraising event, Walk for Hope, returns to the New Forest for its third year on Sunday 9 June, and organisers would love more walkers than ever to stride out and raise vital funds for local people living with cancer. About 300 people took part in the 2018 walk, raising over £50,000. New for 2019 is the option of a five-mile route, alongside the ten and 20-mile distances, making the event even more accessible for supporters of all ages and abilities. Philip Wilson, who raised £670 by taking part in the ten mile event in 2018, said: “I work for John Lewis in Southampton which chose Wessex Cancer Trust’s Waterside Cancer Support Centre in Hythe as its charity of the year, and wanted to take part in this event to show my personal support to those living with cancer. What an emotional day it was. I met people who’ve had cancer and won, have cancer and are winning, and someone who has cancer but it’s incurable. I burst into tears Philip Wilson
reading the dedications on people’s backs, I had a moment in the middle when I thought about the many people I’ve known throughout my 38 years whose lives have been affected by cancer, and again when I crossed the finish line out of sheer pride. It was also a personal challenge for me – something to train for and a way of getting fitter and healthier.” Laura Beavis, Wessex Cancer Trust’s events manager, said: “The peace and beauty of the New Forest make it a fitting setting to come together to give hope to friends and family undergoing cancer treatment, to remember loved ones and to support everyone affected by cancer, and we would love 2019 to be the biggest and best yet.” Entrants will receive an official Walk for Hope t-shirt, a fundraising pack, a training and event guide, and membership to a Facebook group where they can meet other participants and share fundraising and training tips. After being cheered over the finish line, walkers will receive a medal and celebrate with well-earned refreshments. Anyone registering before 31st March can take advantage of early bird prices of £10 for a child under 16, £20 for adults, £70 for a team of four and £4 for dogs. Visit www.wessexcancer. org.uk/Event/walk-for-hope-2019 for more information and to sign up, or contact laura. beavis@wessexcancer.org.uk.
