Royalty Revered Celebrating 150 years since the opening of the Royal Albert Hall. It’s somewhat unfair that a landmark anniversary of the Royal Albert Hall’s long legacy won’t be celebrated on the exact date. In fact, when David Arnold – he of Bond, Independence Day and Sherlock soundtrack fame – takes to the stage in mid-July, it will be over three months late, given the South Kensington venue first opened its doors on March 29th 1871. The spectacular dome, which measures 20,000ft, sits above an auditorium that boasts a capacity of 5,272 people and is, of course, named after Prince Albert, the husband of Victoria. When the Covid-delayed celebrations begin, the Royal Albert Hall, in 2021, benefits from incredible acoustics, stateof-the-art sound systems, impeccable lighting and firstclass stage technology, yet so many other parts of the original venue still remain untouched, and that’s what gives it its unique charm.

The venue was funded out of the proﬁts from London’s Great Exhibition. Now Grade I-listed, it cost £200,000 to construct and took four years to complete. The ﬁrst performance was by Charles Gounod on May 8th 1972, as his orchestra played Handel’s Messiah. In respect of that landmark event, Messiah has been played every Good Friday afternoon at the venue since. Electric lighting was introduced shortly after the hall opened, and over the years arts and science exhibitions have utilised the space, with more events actually held in the outer rooms – over 400 per year – than the main auditorium. Tradition has always been at the heart of things – there were Sunday concerts for six decades up to the end of the World War II, and the Proms has a permanent place in the hearts of traditional music devotees.

The hall was partially bombed by the Germans in 1942, while moves to cure the ‘Albert Hall echo’ were put in place in the 1960s, with acoustic diffusing discs being hung from the ceiling. A £40m refurbishment programme was undertaken in 1996 and these days the Royal Albert Hall continues to promote various education and outreach projects. It’s a charity in its own right, and even boasts a performance database that lists each of the artists who have appeared at an estimated 30,000 events since 1871. Attendees are treated to unobstructed viewing, some incredible VIP boxes, private rooms, and awe-inspiring auditorium, and a gallery around the perimeter that houses bar and restaurant space. What’s more, one special person, each night, will ﬁnd themselves with the unexpected privilege of sitting on seat 87, row 11, under the K stalls in the main auditorium. It is an unassuming seat, but one that rests on the foundation stone that was laid by Victoria way back in 1867.

QUIRKY

BY MICA BALE

Another month, another summer and halfway through 2021, could there be anywhere better to enjoy the season’s delights than in Dorset? From coastal paradises to an interesting connection to the French Royal Family, here is another handful of interesting and quirky facts from around Dorset to illustrate just how special our county is!

Dorset’s regal history is far from the county’s best kept secret however were you aware that surviving members of the French Royal Family were invited to Lulworth Castle during the carnage of the French Revolution. Among their number was the King of France, Charles X, to whom King George III was said to have gifted a large sum of money. Although their stay at Dorset’s grand castle was only for a brief time before the family PHOTO: NICK FEWINGS were to travel to Edinburgh, reportedly, upon catching sight of Lulworth Castle, King Charles X promptly burst into tears as its form reminded him of the French Bastille. Did you know that the rather romantically entitled Dancing Ledge, on the Isle of Purbeck, was once an important location for exporting Purbeck Stone? So called because at certain times the water’s edge covers the ledge giving it the appearance of dancing upon the water, Dancing Ledge was a popular location for many boats and ships. Interestingly one of its most renowned commissions was when Kent’s Ramsgate Harbour was under construction in the 18th and 19th centuries and this sturdy Dorset material, in hot demand, was taken directly from Dancing Ledge to Kent.

Today the word shrapnel is a common word in modern language however were you aware that shrapnel actually comes from a certain Colonel Henry Shrapnel who was a resident of the Manor House, Puncknowle for a period of time? The Colonel invented the weaponry as far back as 1784 and was recognised by the British Artillery several decades later in 1803, rising to commonplace usage in the first World War, causing countless injuries to soldiers. Home to some of the UK’s most expensive beach huts which are even more costly than three-bedroom houses, Hengistbury Head is one of Dorset’s prime locations for soaking up this coastal paradise. And no wonder! Just a stone’s throw away from Bournemouth and part of an area of Special Scientific Interest as well as a long list of other protective titles, this Dorset gem can also boast an extensive list of local flora and fauna with hundreds of varieties of plantlife and countless wildlife from rare insects like the thirteen-spotted ladybird to mammals and birds such as the purple heron!

Did you know that Dorset is home to one of the UK’s oldest breweries? Located in Bridport, Palmers Ale dates back to 1794 and has been brewing countless ales for thirsty Dorset locals for years. Remarkably, the brewery was purchased in the latter 19th century by two brothers by the name of Palmer and today their great grandsons today work at the brewers. As well as creating many ﬁne beverages from beer to whisky and gin to cider from local Dorset apples, the brewery’s history is itself a snapshot into the town’s heritage through the centuries and can be discovered in a tour hosted by Palmers.

Ramsay’s Revival Top chef Gordon Ramsay outlines the food trends we should look out for in 2021. It says a lot that in a Twitter post published on New Year’s Day, Gordon Ramsay decided to use the opportunity to tell the year 2020 to, well… let’s just say ‘not come back’. While the global Covid pandemic has turned a lot of us into accomplished, skilled, proﬁcient home cooks (in our own minds, at least, if not in reality), the effect it’s had on the chefs, staff and restaurateurs of the world’s best restaurants has been less positive. Most establishments have endured almost a year of closure – Ramsay’s portfolio of high-quality restaurants included. It’s a factor that has led to something of an accidental food revolution in our homes. “With every disaster there is an upside and a downside,” he says. “While a lot of industries have been torn apart by Covid, it has been the making of others – think about the way we buy stuff over the internet, and home delivery of goods. Think too about cleanliness and hygiene… things that have always been of interest to me as a chef – we’re now all obsessed with it.

“In the same way, the fact we’re not going to restaurants hasn’t meant we’ve stopped eating – instead, people are discovering and developing new ways to enjoy food at home. As someone passionate about food, I can only support that; even if it’s cost me millions!” he says, referencing

have really stepped up in terms of efficiencies, and it’s those changes that will serve them well in future,” he says. “We’ve all had time to sit back and redo the maths on what works for our businesses and what doesn’t, and that’s going to be of real value going forward.” As far as creativity goes, the 54-year-old remains as ebullient as ever. “I also see people becoming braver with their flavours,” he continues. “We’ve all felt hemmed in, repressed, even imprisoned in their lives at the moment. You will always get a dramatic reaction to that, and I think we’ll see that across a number of areas, food included. I’m expecting a real explosion of creativity, across the board. the huge losses suffered during the repeated lockdowns the UK has suffered. “It sounds ridiculous to say that, but producers, hosts, retailers and everyone else involved in getting food from field to plate

“I’ve also really enjoyed the extra time I’ve had to interact with lovers of food – it’s been a really unexpected thing that’s come out of Covid, and I think we’ll all be talking more and sharing more over the coming year, and beyond.”

Talking about Wildlife...

The Underwater World Whether you’re one minute away from the beach or one hour, for many of us, living so close to the sea is one of the best things about living in Dorset. Already this year, our marine conservation team have been finding exciting and unusual things washed up on our beaches at low tide. The ‘furrowed crab’ was a great find with it being the first recording of this species for Kimmeridge. This crab is also a ‘climate change indicator species’ as we’re seeing them spread further north, in line with our seas warming up. Other seashore species which have been spreading eastwards into Dorset include the ‘toothed topshells’. These sea snails are common further west but have grown from none at all in the early 2000s to being a common find at Kimmeridge. The small cushion starfish has also become common at Kimmeridge since the first sighting in 2014, and the exoticlooking anemone shrimp that lives within the stinging tentacles of the snakelocks anemone, has also increased in number in recent years. Cushoned Starfish Photo: Julie Hatcher

Furrowed Crab

Top three things to look for this summer on the coast: 1. Seahorses: There have been an unusual amount of seahorses washed up on beaches this year. This could be a good indicator that we have a healthy population in Dorset. Let us know if you find one! 2. Cushion starfish: In rockpools, the cushion star glides along on its myriad tiny tube-feet, as if sliding on ice. This small relative of star fish feeds by everting part of its stomach through its mouth to digest dead and decaying animals and seaweed. 3. Flat periwinkle: Look for the flat periwinkle in seaweedy pools. They range in colour from sunshine yellow, through burnt orange to chocolate brown and are easy to spot amongst the sea wrack fronds they graze on. The yellow shells are particularly easy to spot, looking like discarded sweetcorn kernels!

Funding boost for West Moors Memorial Hall increases local access Users of West Moors Memorial Hall will notice some big changes when its doors reopen at end of lockdown – and it’s all thanks to a grant from Bournemouth Water. The water company has given the much-used community hub £1,400 to transform the outside parking space, creating more bays for disabled drivers and giving it a fresh makeover with the repainting of existing white lines. The Memorial Hall – which has been serving locals since it was built in 1929 – landed the funding as part of Bournemouth Water’s new Neighbourhood Fund, which aims to get £100,000 to deserving causes across its operating region this year. Managers applied for the cash after noticing that many elderly locals were having to drive to their favourite clubs and societies based at the Hall when it opened briefly after the first lockdown last summer due to social distancing rules. Current regular community groups holding meetings there include West Moors Horticultural Society, West Moors Flower Group, West Moors Drama Society and West Moors Arts Society. Improving the car park is good news for the village too, as it is also used by worshippers attending St Mary’s Church and parents visiting the nearby St Mary’s CE primary school. Treasurer, Janine Plaistow said everyone in the village was very much looking forward to resuming community activities when Covid-19 restrictions are lifted. “West Moors Memorial Hall is very much a pillar for the community as everyone benefits from the space. Many of our key clubs and societies have not been able to operate for over a year as the elderly have been shielding,” said Plaistow. “The village has an elderly population and we expect car sharing will be less popular in future. We are really pleased to have the extra space in this car park as we come out 18

of the pandemic.” “The hall as always been a valuable place to socialise and Bournemouth Water’s funding has enabled us to provide this service safely. It is hugely generous of Bournemouth Water and we are very grateful for such a contribution”. Jo Ecroyd, Bournemouth Water customer service director, added, “The community connections that places like West Moors Memorial Hall provide are all the more vital as we start to come out of a year of lockdown restrictions. We’re so happy that Bournemouth Water’s Neighbourhood Fund is able to increase the accessibility to benefit the locals in Dorset after such a difficult time.” Bournemouth Water is giving back to the region it works within and cares about by actively improving the lives of its people and the places they love for generations to come. The pandemic has emphasised the importance of local communities and Bournemouth Water is investing in supporting people across its operating area to build back and connect communities. The Bournemouth Water Neighbourhood Fund is making a tangible difference to the lives of people living in Dorset. Bournemouth Water is making this investment to better the lives of local people through funding projects which protect nature and the environment for the benefit of community health and well-being; provide new opportunities for people to learn and develop; bring communities together, virtually or physically – when safe to do so; and/or support the upkeep of local neighbourhood centres and facilities to keep communities strong.

Swarm season is upon us original nest the bees will have eaten a lot of honey which keeps them calm and peaceful. So whilst a huge group of them together may look rather threatening, they will not do any harm. For beekeepers it’s a very busy time right now because we are in swarm season. A colony of bees will naturally swarm when the hive becomes overcrowded and the Queen Bee (together with several thousand workers) decides to find a new home. This can happen any time between the end of March and the end of July, normally on a warm, sunny day between 11am – 4pm. A swarm temporarily settles on a branch of a tree or in a bush or sometimes on a wall or a fence within 50 to 100 metres of its original nest. It then stays there until scouting bees have found a new nest site (usually a hole in a tree). The swarm will then fly directly to the new nest site and make a new home. Swarms are normally noticed when they are hanging in a tree or bush. A swarm looks like a large teardrop varying in size from a rugby ball to something 2-3 times that size (see the photo to the left). Generally bees in a swarm are not aggressive. Before they left their 24

Remain calm and find your nearest swarm collector by going on the BBKA website, www.bbka.org.uk. You will find a swarm collector map which will put you in touch with an association that’s local to you. If you’re able to take a photo of the swarm, that would be useful together with its exact location and how high up it is. A beekeeper will come and safely collect the swarm and rehome it. If you live in the Ferndown, St Leonards, St Ives or Ringwood areas, we would be happy to come and investigate. Just call Ian Warmer on 07803 136730. If you’re interested in bees and what we do as beekeepers, please check out our website www. honeybyian.com or you can find us on Instagram @honey_by_ian

STAR GAZING

WRITTEN BY KATE EARL

kateearlastro@gmail.com Welcome to the June Stargazing Page. Highlights this month include the Summer Solstice, a partial Solar Eclipse and a chance to spot noctilucent clouds. International Space Station There are only two possible dates to spot the ISS in June; the first and last day of the month. Unfortunately, both of these are unfavourable passes where the ISS will be quite low. If you want to try and catch either of these sightings, please refer to www.heavens-above.com or a similar webpage for up-to-date information, remembering to set the location to your home town. July will be a much better time to spot the space station, with sightings possible most evenings. Events The Summer Solstice (from the Latin for ‘the sun stands still’) occurs on June 21st this year, and marks the day when summer officially begins in the Northern Hemisphere. On this day the Sun reaches its highest point in the sky at noon. This means we experience the ‘longest’ day of the year (the day with the most hours of daylight, and least hours of darkness). Partial Solar Eclipse If the sky is clear, residents in southern England will be treated to a partial eclipse of the Sun on the morning of June 10th. The maximum takes place around 11.10am depending on your location, at which point the Moon will cover roughly 20% of the Sun. The actual path of totality is visible from Canada, the North Pole and Eastern Siberia. The eclipse begins at roughly 10am and continues to around 12.30pm. Various websites, including www.timeanddate.com can provide up-to-date information for your specific location. There are several ways to view the eclipse safely, including the use of designated eclipse safety glasses, or making your own pinhole projector camera from a couple of pieces of cardboard. There are many websites available that show you how to construct one safely.

Venus Venus is brieﬂy visible low in the northwest after 10pm, but sets by 10.30pm. Mars Mars is very dim compared to a few months ago, but can be seen to the left of Venus in the northwestern sky around 10pm. On the 13th June at 11pm the Moon lies very close, hovering just above the red planet. Jupiter and Saturn The two gas giants can be seen in the southeast from 1.30am through until dawn. They are joined by the Moon on the 1st and 2nd June, and again between the 27th – 29th. Moon This month’s Full Moon on June 24th 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. Object of the Month The summer months are the best time to try and spot a rare and beautiful cloud-type: noctilucent clouds (from the Latin for ‘night shining’). If conditions are favourable, these blue-white illuminated clouds are visible thirty minutes after sunset for a couple of hours 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.

Understanding Investments: What can you expect from us?

There are no words that do justice in describing the past 15 months living in the midst of a pandemic world. The human cost has been tragic on many levels and will never be forgotten. Generally human kindness has shone through but can the same be said from businesses? Going forward, what can businesses learn and what should you expect from them? I feel very fortunate that the industry I work in has been able to continue and be relatively unaffected. We abided by lock-down rules for our office, and adapted our services to include remote, electronic support when necessary. Service to our clients was unaffected, albeit delivered in a different manner. In fact, we’ve been in contact with our clients more than ever during the depths of the post-pandemic stock market declines as we believe worrying times like that are exactly when our clients need us the most. I have a huge amount of sympathy for businesses who have not been able to open, or those in industries which have seen a dramatic drop in demand for their services. But I have also been very frustrated by businesses who seem to have forgotten the importance of their clients be it delaying refund money, poor service or now increasing prices beyond what is reasonable-fundamentally taking advantage of their customers. As we get back to some kind of normality, how can we help? 1. Our Client Charter states: “We will always look after your best financial interests and treat you fairly”. We never forget that and are on your side! 2. Local, accessible office. The pandemic has shown that we can deliver our service remotely when necessary, and it works. However, for the majority of our clients (aged 50 plus) face to face advice is preferable and having a local office is critical in delivering that service. At a time when most financial institutions are closing offices to save money (aka increase profits further), we focus on what our clients want and need. 3. High quality, independent financial advice. Stewart and I are both Chartered Financial Planners and Fellows-the higher qualifications in our industry. We have many years of experience

and deliver impartial advice due to our independent Howard Goodship adviser status. We often work with our client’s own accountants and solicitors to deliver joined-up advice, and we are SIFA Pro members (SIFA is affiliated to the Law Society). 4. Access to world class investment management. Our independence is the key. We act as the informed buyer for our clients, filtering the myriad of investment products & providers through a robust due diligence process. Our clients benefit from us offering best of breed investment solutions from a wide range of high-quality financial institutions. 5. Integrity and trust. We never take your trust for granted, nor the responsibility you place in us to manage your money and provide suitable advice. This is a serious business, and we treat it with the attention and importance it deserves. We are “Dementia Friends” and in March 2021 we won “Best Adviser Firm for Vulnerable Client Care” at the National Professional Adviser Awards. 6. Excellent, attentive personal service. Our clients are individuals with varying demands. We are able to deliver a very personal service to all of our clients and aim to impress. What can you expect from us? Integrity, trust, reliability and value. Do you feel every business you work with offers you the same? My colleague Stewart Sims-Handcock and I are available for a free initial, no obligation chat to discuss your personal requirements. We are able to do this in a variety of ways, taking account of any current COVID restrictions. Howard Goodship is an Independent Financial Adviser with Lonsdale Wealth Management, 5 Fridays Court, Ringwood.

It’s time to do your own thing! Amelie Mortimer, aged 7 from Blandford, has raised £40 by running laps around the back garden. “I wanted to raise some money for charity because I know it is really important now more than ever.”

Diverse Abilities, Dorset’s disability charity, has launched its latest fundraising campaign encouraging people to ‘Do Your Own Thing’ to raise money for the vital services it provides. Do Your Own Thing is an opportunity for anyone to get involved in fundraising no matter their skills or abilities and the charity has a ‘wall of inspiration’ on its website as a starting point for ideas.

Pictures of fundraising can be shared with the hashtag #TeamDA. Naomi added: “We can’t wait to see everyone getting involved and watch the diﬀerent paths they’ve taken to raise money, our supporters have been instrumental to keeping us going over the last year – they’re a real innovative bunch and we can’t thank them enough!”

Visit

diverseabilities.org.uk/dyot to ﬁnd out how to get involved.

Naomi Richards, fundraising oﬃcer at Diverse Abilities, commented: “The great thing about this, is that the only limit is your imagination! So far, we’ve had people running laps of the garden through to training for marathons, hosting virtual pub quizzes and taking part in weight loss challenges. We’ve got fundraising support and advice for anyone who wants to have a go, and make sure everything ﬁts within the changing COVID legislation.” Suggestions for activities include learning new skills or languages like Makaton, step count competitions as part of National Walking Month, fancy dress or dress down days, and Eurovision sweepstakes. The charity also has places available for Wing Walks and Skydives during the year, and has contactless collection pots available for businesses, shops, cafes, and restaurants. 36

Your dedicated deep clean? There’s no need to be a deep-cleaning diva in the 21st century when you have an army of genius gadgets at your disposal. Here, we focus on steam and robotic power which, between them, can do away with even the most stubborn of stains. Steam cleaning Steam cleaners are extremely lightweight, shift even groundin dirt, are eco-friendly, and the steaming process is arguably the best for killing bacteria and beasties. Steam also offers a perfect way to freshen up upholsteries without leaving detergent stains or smells that will go stale, and this is a product that’s ﬂexible enough to be used in living areas, bathrooms (for mould), kitchens and, of course, the bedroom, and the Bissell SpotClean ProHeat comes in at an appealing £129.99. Sanitising wands If you want to take your kitchen hygiene a step further, consider the recent ﬂux of sanitizing wands that have started to appear on the market – we tried out the UV-C Sanitising Wand, for around £40. Its compact design means you can magic away gremlins that are lurking in your fridge and across countertops, on keyboards and phone surfaces, and even those lurking amongst your kids’ toys, with the germ-

reducing UV-C light leaving no residue, but gets rid of 99% of germs, allergens (including dust mites) and odour-causing bacteria. Vacuuming In surveys, vacuuming, mopping and window cleaning always rate as the most arduous household chores, but thankfully technology has granted us a way of conquering all three of these tiresome jobs without a lifting a ﬁnger. For hoovering duties then, take the Neato DC00 Botvac Connected Robotic Vacuum Cleaner, which retails at around £400. This is one of the most advanced robot hoovers ever, and thanks to its WIFI capability and corresponding app, can be controlled from wherever you are. What’s more, its boundary markers mean the little fella can tidy up while you’re at work with no fear of him trashing the place. Mopping Once the hoovering’s sorted you’ll need to mop, which is where another robotic helper comes in. Gadgets such as

iRobot’s Braava Jet 250 Mopping Robot (at £250, handily) cover up to 200 square feet at a time, and this particular model even comes equipped with a vibrating cleaning head to increase agitation, a water nozzle to spray the area it’s covering, and a premixed detergent in its disposable pads. Window cleaning And ﬁnally, no spring clean would be complete without a good window polish, perhaps courtesy of the Mamibot iGLASSBOT W120-T. This is another robotic revolution, and is capable of wiggling and wiping its way around almost any glass pane, and all for around £150.

Do you have someone to rely on?

If you became ill and unable to cope with paying your bills and maintaining your home, wouldn’t it be helpful for a family member to be able help deal with your finances? If your family member needed to make decisions for you, instead of just acting on your instructions, they would need your formal written authority to do this. This formal authority can be given by creating a Lasting Power of Attorney. Once registered with the Office of the Public Guardian, this will allow your family member to take over managing your money, either temporarily or long term. If you are caring for an elderly relative, or are likely to be doing so in the future, a Lasting Power of Attorney will mean that you can provide the support your relative needs and access services on their behalf, without the difficulties, stress and resistance you would otherwise encounter. If you have any unanswered questions about Lasting Powers of Attorney, please get in touch for a free, no obligation, chat or to arrange a home visit.

A few words from Kingfishers of West Moors Ray and Pat at Kingfishers of West Moors would like to thank all of their clients for their patience over the last year. As we come out of the last lockdown, Ray is once again helping local residents to have the cleanest carpets and uphlostery possible. With over 30 years experience in cleaning carpets and upholstery, Ray, the owner of Kingfishers of West Moors and proud member of Checkatrade, knows how to get results. Whatever your carpet or upholstery cleaning needs, Ray will arrive promptly at your home or business. Fully trained and insured, he is extremely conscientious and respectful of your possessions.

Ray uses no harsh brushes or abrasive chemicals. Your carpets are cleaned and freshened, yet they remain soft; the texture is restored; and the colours are brightened as you can see in the example below. If your fine upholstered furniture is badly soiled and in need of special care, you should definitely give Ray a call. He will carefully determine the correct method of cleaning depending on the type of fabric to get the very best result. So call Ray for all your upholstery or carpet cleaning needs on 01202 861944.

In most cases he can provide his own pro-softened water and vent the soiled water into his own disposal facilities. In other words he doesn’t dump a pile of dirt in your driveway and he won’t pour dirty water onto your rose bushes!

Must-Read Books For June Whet your appetite with snapshots of summer holidays spent by the seaside, or perhaps immerse yourself in a gripping thriller – here are this month’s sumptuous book releases. A Day at the Beach Hut: Stories and Recipes Inspired by Seaside Life by Veronica Henry (June 10th) A family enjoy their last holiday at a much-loved beach hut. The tide brings in an old face – and a new temptation – while a writer’s retreat is shaken up by a surprise arrival. The simple pleasures of the seaside compete with the Instagram dream, a couple’s future is turned upside down, and a celebratory evening takes a stormy turn. And as the sun sets, an unexpected romance is simmering... Escape to the coast with this delicious collection of short stories and beachhut inspired recipes from Sunday Times bestselling author Veronica Henry the perfect summer treat! The First Day of Spring by Nancy Tucker (June 24th) Not for the faint-hearted, this chilling debut wastes no time in pulling the reader deep into its murky undertow.

Documenting a difﬁcult childhood during which she grew up ‘black, weird, and overwhelmingly uncool in a mostly white neighbourhood in upstate New York’, Henderson uses wit and candour to delve into some important topics. A taut and impeccably crafted pageturner about what propels one eight-year-old girl to commit an unspeakable act, and the tensely moving effect it has on the rest of her life, The First Day of Spring is not just about how neglect and loneliness can shape a child, but also how they can have a lasting impact even when that child becomes a mother herself. The Ugly Cry: A Memoir by Danielle Henderson (June 8th) Having ﬁrmly made a name for herself as a television writer (Maniac, Divorce and Dare Me), Danielle Henderson now turns her formidable talent to the memoir.

Mostly though, it is a book about family and the ﬁerce bond between a vulnerable child and her devoted grandmother. Hungry by Grace Dent (June 10th) The highly anticipated memoir from one of Britain’s bestloved food writers, Hungry is a joyous journey through Dent’s fascinating life. From growing up eating beige food to becoming a celebrated London gourmand, it is a personal story, but also everyone’s story – from cheese and pineapple hedgehogs and treats with your nan, to the exquisite joy of a chip butty covered in vinegar and too much salt in the school canteen on a grey day; this a poignant reminder of why food is such an integral part of our lives and our various cultures.

The Adventures of Daichi

The Modern Magazines Camper Van Fish. Daichi loves to go fishing with Grandad… and Grandad loves to go fishing with the family. What better way to celebrate his 86th Birthday, than on the banks of an idyllic pond with all of us together in wonderful sunshine! So, that is just what we did in May. Todber Manor is where we all met. Beautiful lakes situated in East Dorset just ten minutes from the quaint town of Shaftesbury. Dad is in his element here. My sister moved into the cottage attached to a farm where her husband grew up, in Margaret Marsh, and this is even closer at just seven minutes away. The scenery around here is stunning. Miles of rolling countryside, wildlife and glorious green land with blue sky and feather-like white clouds. It was a real treat. To be honest, I have always enjoyed fishing with Dad. Many, many Sundays were spent on the banks of a local pond up North. I love the serenity, the birds singing, the picnic and the family togetherness that we have all missed so much recently. Here we were,

Grandad catches another one! 48

Daichi... and friends out in fresh air and in great company. The fish here are huge. Some fishermen stay in bivvies (tents) overnight to fish for the real big carp. Can you imagine sitting outside in all weathers holding your rod (now now…) waiting for that all-important bite and then using all your strength for possibly half an hour or so to land a 40 pound + carp? It is a complete buzz for these guys, a real excitement for those that ‘get the bug’. Better than being 24/7 on a computer I would say. Well, we were not quite up for that, though Daichi would have been very happy to put us up for the night! We must plan our next ‘staycation’ and get the awning out again. We have really missed that, and so has Daichi. The fishing at Todber Manor is excellent. With ten ponds in total I believe, there are lots to choose from. In addition to that there are holiday lets which were currently closed due to the situation, but I am sure they will open soon, if not already. It is a really great location for anyone who likes fishing or even if you

would like a break away. The well-stocked fishing tackle shop caters for all needs too. Now, every time we go fishing with Grandad, we (well actually Stephen, Hayden and Dad) catch many fish. It looks easy, yet I am not sure why, but any time we have tried this without Grandad we don’t catch anything… just a cold. Funny that, it must be the better weather on the days we go with Grandad… mmm not sure about that. Grandad has fished all his life and his expertise absolutely makes it look easy. He has a real knack for the game. This time I did some fishing myself and caught a rather nice Mirror Carp. I can fish, but leave it to the boys while my sister and Mum have a chat on the side-lines. Oh yes and take never ending photographs and videos! It is hard work when they are catching lots of fish I have to keep getting up from my comfy, relaxed seat with my all-important coffee in hand. Really! This trip we were lucky enough to spot an egret that gracefully flew in and sat patiently on a small island in the centre of the pond. Delightful to see… and another photo was needed… Up again… We have to laugh don’t we.

I got one too!

The family... and the cake! Now Birthdays have to have cake and food (any excuse) and today was no exception. There is the delicious “Lakeside Diner” right here at the ponds! Perfect. It is an outside eatery with seating and the food is good! Us girls had steak, Hayden had pulled pork, Stephen had a burger and dad had fish and chips (of course!). Susan had also brought a cake and Dad’s highlight, which he said he will never forget, was us all singing Happy Birthday to him with the candles aglow, the sun setting, surrounded by his favourite ponds here in the South. Very special. I am not sure the other fishermen thought the same and the birds may well have wondered what all that screeching was about, but hey hum, we had a fabulous time. So - many ‘caught fish’ later, well fed, hoarse from singing, and aching from all that getting up and down out of the chair, it was time to say goodbye. Daichi was delighted with the trip. He, and Grandad, grinned from headlight to headlight all the way home. Happy Birthday Dad. With more areas and activities opening up, and a sunny summer (we can but hope) to look forward to, I wonder where Daichi will take us next? By Debbie Corney

I got one too!

h lt a e H & wellbeing Why getting your head down may be the best thing you can do for your health and wellbeing. Sleep: the science We all know how valuable a good night’s sleep is… or rather, how bad we feel when we don’t get one! The value of rest is recognisable in the fact we spend a third of our lives in bed. And sure enough, most of us can reel off a good number of the benefits of sleep – sharpness, mood enhancement, the fending off of low moods, a lowering of blood pressure, better immunisation, improved memory, stress reduction and even maintaining of body weight.

The environment First, consider what’s around you. Studies have shown that smartphones and device usage is on the increase and it’s the ‘blue light’ 50

emissions from these that can delay the release of sleep-inducing melatonin, as well as resetting the body’s internal clock (circadian rhythm). Moving away from screens earlier – scientists recommend at least an hour before you plan on going to sleep – will limit the bouts of LCD exposure which excite brain stimulators, therefore helping you maximise sleep efficiency. Remember as well the need to moderate room temperature, as well dimming lighting and removing excess noise around you. And while the act of sleeping is more important than anything you may consume in the lead-up to it, it goes without saying there are certain food and drink items that will hamper effective rest. While alcohol may enable you to drop off quicker, it’s disruptive to your sleep in the second half of the night, not least if you are in a state of dehydration. Consider as well the impact sugar, carbonated drinks and caffeine might have on the body at a time when it is trying to wind down. An old favourites such as Horlicks, with a soothing malt content, has been scientifically proven to aid rest. The routine… and a plan Scientific studies have shown that regularity and repetition is the important where sleep is concerned. Your body feeds off continuity and structure in its waking hours, so why should things be any different when it comes to sleep? Sleep doctors have begun recommending a trial week of ‘regular as clockwork’ bedtimes, with long rests and the adoption of healthy habits. They then invite people to see if they feel improved in all those physical and psychological aspects. In many cases, the results have gone to show why getting your head down may be the best thing you can do not just for your health and wellbeing, but your sanity too.

Have you heard the news? Hearing loss affects very many of us at some stage in our lives. We often try to ignore it, or deny it but the truth is it can be very frustrating, not only for the person with hearing loss, but also for their friends and family. Fortunately, it is frequently very straight forward to resolve. Local audiologist Heather Cowell says “In some cases a reduction in hearing can be down to something as simple as a buildup of ear wax. For others fitting a pair of the latest, tiny hearing devices can be a life changing moment.”

Heather has been serving the health needs of the local community for more than 30 years both as a practice nurse at the local GP surgery and, for the past 10 years, as a hearing healthcare professional. Her new business 2County Hearing, set up with her audiologist husband Simon, aims to offer a truly personal service for all things hearing related. Appointments are available at their new centre in Verwood and they are delighted to offer a home visit service within a 15 mile radius. Call Heather today on 01202 985500.

Calling a spade a spade Your ultimate guide to the tools your garden will thank you for digging out this summer. SPADE (AND SHOVEL) Tough, unrelenting, sharp at the base, angular and with ledges for your feet so you can push down deep into the soil, the spade is the ultimate garden tool. The shovel is, in many ways, the reﬁned cousin. More rounded, it comes in different materials and caters for a wider range of jobs (such as moving snow), given that digging deep into the earth is not the primary goal. FORK (AND TROWEL) These two work perfectly together in removing soil and plant matter from smaller areas, such as ﬂower beds and pots. HOE A simple metal plate at the end of a stick, the hoe is used to remove surface debris in small areas. It nudges just under the surface in scraping away leaves, small weeds and bits of dead plant matter, leaving your soil turned over and looking fresh. LAWN EDGER Perhaps the most satisfying garden tool of them all, the lawn edger drives down into

lawn edges that are suspended above then beds, leaving an impeccable line between the two.

without anything left behind. The extended handle limits bending down, too.

COBRAHEAD WEEDER The cobrahead weeder looks like a torture implement dating back to the medieval ages, yet its popularity is now only coming to the fore. It uses a cultivating blade at the end of a long, hooked handle, meaning it can plough furrows, remove weeds from underneath and even hack its way through thatch. CLAW WEEDER This weeder offers a pincertype movement at the end, meaning it grabs right at the base of the weed, yanking it out of the ground by the roots

RAKE From debris to leaves, removing fruit from beneath trees to perhaps just picking up weed seedlings so as to allow water to permeate back into the soil, the humble rake actually comes in many different forms and will serve you well all year round. PRUNER Modern pruners have become real technical works of art, with adjustable settings that will shape to the size of your hand. Look for a pair that have cushioned grips around the handle, to save on late-afternoon hand ache! PRUNING SAW The pruning saw does the same job as a pruner, albeit with a bit more strength and power. Capable of tackling branches without the need for a full-on saw, it’s a compact yet extremely powerful piece of kit.

Green Play Five ideas for engaging your kids in environmental activities. Recycle Start at home with the basics: labelling your bins and sorting through your refuse can actually become a fun game for children, as well as creating awareness around how much waste we use in the home. Then, once your youngsters have grasped the basic concept you can start tackling recycling on a bigger scale. Picking up litter on a dog walk for example, or even partaking on a community clean-up – an excellent way to meet other budding environmentalists. Reuse Naturally greenminded kids know better than anyone how useful discarded packaging can be: boxes become rocket ships, empty toilet rolls become pirate-seeking telescopes, and jars are transformed into dazzling tealight holders. Yet beyond play, we can also teach our children how to minimise waste by choosing the eco-friendly option. Some ecocleaning brands, for example, now offer a reusable option whereby you can reﬁll your bottles in-store. Grow What better way to learn about planet Earth than when exploring the great outdoors? For a child, there is very little in life more satisfying than digging

through dirt with a beloved parent by their side, a venture made even more rewarding when they eventually get to see the fruits of their labour. So if you have access to a garden, get planning, then get planting! From easy-to-plant ﬂower bulbs to vegetables

such as tomatoes and runner beans, there are many plants which offer a quick seed-tofruit yield – ideal for impatient children. Many local councils are now investing in community gardens too, where children can plant, play and learn about all the wormy, muddy joys of composting. Repurpose A fantastic way to combine environmental fun with

unbridled creativity is to upcycle with your child. Perhaps you’ve an old chest of drawers that needs a new lick of paint or a suitcase that’s begging to be transformed into a unique toybox. Perhaps you want to start smaller by turning a plastic bottle into a birdfeeder, or even a windchime made from used cans. And for those feeling really creative, why not venture into the world of upcycled clothing? Stained children’s dresses and t-shirts can be tie-dyed using vegetable dye, denim shirts that are too small can become bags or headscarves! Learn The best part about environmentalism is it’s a journey you and your child can take together. So organise a trip to your local city farm, buy some honey made from local bees, and take a bike ride to school rather than using the car. These are all small steps that will pave the way for the future of your child AND the planet.

Creamy Courgette Sausage Penne Introduction

Simple and ﬂavoursome with a generous serving of veg, this is one of those weeknight meals ideal for when you want to feel satisﬁed but also a little virtuous.

Ingredients (serves four) • 6 Cumberland sausages • 400g penne pasta • 3 cloves of garlic (crushed or diced) • 1 red onion (peeled and sliced) • 1 large courgette (grated) • 250ml crème fraiche • 1 tbsp dried chilli ﬂakes • 60g grated parmesan or other hard Italian cheese • Handful of chopped fresh parsley

Method 1. While waiting for a large pot of water to boil, prepare the sausages by squeezing the meat gently from their casings - discard the skin. Heat a widebased pan with a tablespoon of oil and at a medium to hot heat add the sausage meat and cook until browned (6-7 minutes) breaking the meat up with a wooden spoon as you go. Remove and set aside the cooked sausage meat. 2. Put the pasta in the boiling water. Next, lower the heat to medium on your nowempty frying pan before gently sautéing the garlic and chilli ﬂakes - add more oil if necessary. After one minute, add the red onion and grated courgette, frying till softened.

3. Return your sausage meat to the pan with your onion and courgette, along with the crème fraiche and two thirds of the grated cheese. Next add your drained pasta along with a splash of the pasta water and simmer for two minutes until everything is combined and your sauce becomes silky and rich. Serve your pasta in bowls and garnish with your remaining cheese and the chopped parsley.

Top Tips • For perfect pasta always use a generous-sized pot, salt your water (it should almost be as salty as seawater) and avoid overcooking – al dente is the authentic Italian way! • Pasta is endlessly versatile, so feel free to riff on the ingredients to suit your taste… swap cream cheese for crème fraiche, red onion for white onion and courgette for any vegetable you fancy, from

chopped kale to tenderstem broccoli, or even Borlotti beans. • For the ultimate weeknight ease, stock up your pantry and freezer with a few handy cheats: garlic puree is the perfect way to get ﬂavour over fuss; frozen peas are delicious when added to this kind of pasta and an abundant spice rack is invaluable when it comes to last-minute ﬂavouring.
