Welcome...
The West Moors Directory
Dear Neighbours, Can you believe it is this time of year already? I must start to get myself into the Edition 126 Christmas swing of things. This year we are going to Oxford to Stephen’s parents so we are creating two Christmases, one in Oxford and another on my Birthday, 22nd December, to celebrate with my Stephen & Debbie Corney parents. It’s a good excuse and our son Hayden to let our hair down! The West Moors Directory as always is here to bring you news articles, puzzles and competitions. There are many loyal supporters of our local trades people here in West Moors and Stephen and I really appreciate that. Thank you. This month we have dancewear, gifts, pubs, kitchens, electrical appliances, residential care homes, roofers, dentists, builders, cameras wanted, hairdressers, live-incare services, oven cleaners, removals, physiotherapists, blinds, garage doors, hearing aids, private hire services and much more! The index at the back tells you all you can find inside. Oh yes, Nellie took us to the Centenary Site in Bransgore for a weekend where Hayden met a friend... You can read all about that on pages 38 and 39. The prize wordsearch, a meal for two at the Three Legged Cross, was last won by Jackie Smith last month. Well done to you! Do fill this in and send it off to us as you could be the lucky November winner. If you know of any clubs or societies needing help in advertising, or have a local story to tell, please let us know as we provide this service for FREE! If you have a business and would like to promote, we would love to help you too, please give one of us a call. All the Best for November, and may we all get into the Christmas spirit... On that note, see you at the “Carols on the Petwyn” on December 4th!

West Moors Parish Council Legacy Award 2015 Applications Now Open Due to the great success of the West Moors Parish Council Legacy Award during the past 3 years, the parish council is continuing to offer this wonderful opportunity for a young person to receive an award of up to £1,000 in 2015/2016. The criteria has been widened to increase eligibility and now includes The Arts and Music as well as Sport. The award was set up to commemorate the fact that 2012 was a very special year for celebrating the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and the London Olympics and West Moors Parish Council commemorated these two events by helping a young person from West Moors to achieve their potential. • Are you, or do you know of, an aspiring young person between 11 and 17 years old with one or more abilities developed to a level significantly ahead of their year group (or with the potential to develop those abilities)?
• Do you, or the nominated person, need financial help with achieving the chosen ambition? We would like to support a local youngster who excels in Sport, Design, Drama, Music, Dance or The Arts. We will be able to help out with a grant of up to £1,000 towards travelling, equipment and coaching or training costs. We know we have lots of young people with a multitude of talents in the village, so why not apply. What have you got to lose? Applications are now being received for this year’s award and the closing date is the 27th November 2015. Terms and conditions apply. Application forms can be downloaded from: www.westmoors-pc.gov.uk or collected from the parish office at: 4 Park Way, West Moors, BH22 0HL Telephone 01202 861044 for more details

Husky howls and Hansel and Gretel add to seasonal delights at Moors Valley Country Park this Christmas Fresh from being named Best Large Visitor Attraction in the 2015 Dorset Tourism Awards, Christmas at Moors Valley is set to be full of fun this year with a range of new experiences joining the Park’s regular seasonal delights. In addition to a craft market, Christmas tree sales, train rides and woodland trails, 2015 welcomes Christmas Jumper Sunday, a Forest Forge Theatre festive production and the distinctive sound of howling husky dogs offering forest sled rides. The Christmas countdown at Moors Valley, near Ringwood, begins when the Christmas tree shop opens from 10am to 4pm on Saturday 5 December until 20 December. With trees ranging from four to eight feet in height, and a choice of traditional Norway Spruce or the non-drop Nordman Fir, the pine forests of Moors Valley provide the perfect backdrop as you choose your special tree. Parking is free when purchasing a tree. The Christmas Craft Market also runs daily from 5 to 20 December and features beautiful handmade gifts from Dorset and Hampshire. Other activities this year include several festive workshops. These range from willow weaving for adults from 10.30am to 3pm on Friday 11 December, making wreaths and table decorations on Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 December, clay decorations from 11am to 12noon on Saturday 19 December, and a chocolate workshop for adults and children from 10am to 12 noon on Monday 21 December. Anyone who has a festive Christmas jumper tucked away at the back of their wardrobe is invited to give it an airing on Christmas Jumper Sundays. While no prizes will be given, there will be a small surprise gift for anyone modelling their natty knitwear when they visit the Park on 6, 13 and 20 December.
A new and exciting addition to the Moors Valley Christmas is the chance to meet working husky dogs, learn about how they are looked after, and even enjoy a thrilling ride on a husky-drawn sled on 12 and 13 December. Minimum age to take part is six years old and children must be accompanied by an adult. The Forest Forge Theatre Company brings its seasonal offering of Hansel and Gretel to the Visitor Centre on Tuesday 8 December. Hansel and Gretel must work together to find their way home after becoming lost in the woods. This interactive adventure includes an encounter with a tiny witch and a beautiful house made of sweets! Suitable for all ages, doors open at 5.30pm for a 6pm start. Seasons restaurant at Moors Valley is also joining in the festive spirit with a different Christmas special each day with freshly cooked food using locally sourced ingredients. You can book online for all the festive events at Moors Valley. For more details go to www.moorsvalley.co.uk or contact the Rangers on 01425 470721

Wildlife News
Talking about Wildlife...
Lovely Lytchett Bay Still, shimmering waters, the flash of a kingfisher, the ‘peep’ of a wading bird, the bright dazzle of a dragonfly and even the glimpse of a lizard scuttling away. Just a few of the sights and sounds of Lytchett Bay, a quiet haven for wildlife and people in a sheltered north-western corner of Poole Harbour.
The Great Heath purchase of the eastern half of Lytchett Bay, including an area of shoreline, woods and heath, has created the new Lytchett Bay Nature Reserve, owned by Dorset Wildlife Trust and managed in partnership with Amphibian and Reptile Conservation. The reserve is one of the few places where we can still experience the natural change from heathland to marshland habitats which could once be found all round Poole Harbour. The heathland habitat here supports rare reptiles as well as rare breeding birds. The Bay is a key site for wading birds and wildfowl, which feed on the rich invertebrate life of the sheltered mudflats.
remnant, providing a home for rare birds such as the Dartford warbler and nightjar and Britain’s rarest lizard, the sand lizard. You can find out more about the birds at birdsofpooleharbour.co.uk or why not join one of The Great Heath’s guided events to discover the wildlife of this special place? The reserve is now part of the Lytchett Bay Nature Park, a place for wildlife and for people to enjoy nature and bringing together landowners all around the Lytchett Bay shore. For more information about Lytchett Bay Nature Reserve and events in The Great Heath, visit the greatheath.org or talk to Dorset Wildlife Trust on 01202 692033. The Great Heath – working in partnership for wildlife and people. By Nicky Hoar Lyrchett Bay

..providing the answers
to your legal questions
Every month the solicitors and lawyers at Harold G Walker will be providing answers to your questions about the law. My Aunt has been diagnosed with dementia and no longer has mental capacity. She owns a bungalow but is going into a care home. She doesn’t have any close family. What can I do to help her? If your Aunt still had mental capacity then she would be free to make a Lasting Power of Attorney appointing someone she trusts to manage her financial affairs. However, once someone has lost mental capacity (meaning they are no longer able to manage their own affairs) then someone must apply to the Court of Protection for a Deputyship Order. Usually family or close friends apply to be a Deputy/Deputies with the help of a Lawyer. Nicola Lowe Wills & Probate
I only have 65 years left on my lease and I’m worried I won’t be able to sell. What can I do? Lenders have different requirements as to the length of the lease but many will require an unexpired term of at least 70 years. Providing you have owned your leasehold property for at least two years then you should qualify to extend your lease under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993. The process is started by the serving of a Section 42 Notice on your landlord. This is the formal route to lease extension and would extend your current lease by a further 90 years. You could extend your lease informally with the agreement of your landlord. This should be less costly and potentially quicker than using the formal route. You should bear in mind that there are associated costs to
As your Aunt’s Deputy you would help her make her own decisions, otherwise you will take decisions on her behalf which are in her best interest. You must possess the skills to manage your Aunt’s finances (for example paying her bills, make arrangements relating to her pension and if necessary selling her bungalow). You would keep your Aunt’s money and property separate to your own, and the Court will expect you to keep accurate records of what you do with her finances. The process to become a Deputy can be both complicated and lengthy, involving formal medical assessments, the requirement to serve and notify interested parties, the submission of relevant evidence and personal statements all in accordance with the Court’s strict timescales. We can guide you through the process and make an application on your behalf, helping to avoid unnecessary delays and potential problems.
extending your lease. You will be required to pay your landlord a premium for granting the lease extension, which can run to several thousand pounds. A specialist surveyor should be appointed to determine the value of the lease extension and the premium payable. You will be responsible for the fees of the surveyor and your landlord’s solicitor, in addition to your own legal fees and the cost of updating the records at HM Land Registry. Harold G Walker’s Conveyancing team at Verwood can offer specialist advice on all aspects of your lease extension. Please ask for Karena Harrison who would be happy to have an informal chat to discuss your Karena Harrison requirements. Conveyancing & Lease Extensions

Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile! It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services. Manager Mike Bath feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is 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 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps.
Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. 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. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’ Cloudy2Clear service West Moors and the surround area & Mike is ÀQGLQJ WKDW KLV DSSURDFK 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.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Mike a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

Adventures of Nellie
38
The Adventures of Nellie The Dorset Publications Camper Van Stephen’s parents have been keen caravan people for some time. Following in their footsteps we became members of the Caravan Club. This is really good value for money, as Stephen’s Mum says, “You know you will get a high quality caravan park with good, clean facilities.” So, we decided to become members and take a look for ourselves. We spent a weekend with Mr and Mrs Corney senior and Rachel, Stephen’s sister, at the Centenary site which is just 3 miles away from Bransgore in the New Forest National Park. It was originally part of a Second World War airfield where parts of the runway still exist. There is also the New Forest Airfield Memorial just to the north of the caravan park. What a great location! We love the drive through the New Forest and Nellie adores saying “Hello” to all the horses, the new forest ponies and the cows. On arriving at the Site and preparing Nellie with her roof up, we realised she was totally dwarfed by some extremely grand looking caravans that were simply stunning! I think the owners had everything that would be in a house as well as a fully equipped garden. Including the spare Porsche... Not a thing missing, satellite TV, outdoor seating…. We were amazed. Not to be perturbed Nellie stood there smiling cheerfully, greeting all
New Forest Airfields Memorial those who passed by. Stephen’s sister has a gorgeous yellow VW called “Jessie Phyllis” after their two Grandmothers. It is a very fitting name. Our big black Nellie with her long skirts to cover up her oversized thighs looks a bit imposing next to this delicate retro style VW. Anyway we can’t all have it all, can we? Hayden went off to play in the children’s park while we had a cup of tea. When he came back he was all smiles. “I really like the people here!” he exclaimed beaming. “They are really friendly.” He continued to tell us that some children were playing a game and they obviously all knew each other well. Hayden was looking quietly on when ‘Lizzy’ shouted, “Anyone we
Amara, Nellie and Jessie Phyllis enjoying the sunshine
To advertise in The West Moors Directory, please call: 01202 894397
39 don’t know can also join in!” What a great attitude to have. Hayden was immediately smitten and he and Lizzy became good friends for the two days we were there. In fact if anyone knows of a Lizzy, aged 12 ish, who goes caravanning with her parents please let me know as Hayden would love to see her again... Ahhh. Being in the New Forest is so relaxing. The site has its own Centenary Gardens with lots of bird life including Song Thrushes and Bullfinches, so for those who like our wonderful English rolling countryside, the wildlife and bird spotting, this really is an ideal location. There are also walks for those with dogs. In the evenings there is a pizza van which makes fresh pizzas while you wait, or you can indeed order for a specific time. Stephen’s Mum and Dad treated us so the pizzas tasted even better. Somehow you can’t beat eating outside in the night air listening to the sounds of the night, with good company around you. It makes all those long working hours worth it. You really feel you deserve that chilled out feeling. Camping for me definitely has that effect. I Love it.
Wakey, wakey... Rise and shine!
Nellie at Exbury with Naomi, one of the engines Exbury Gardens which was first opened to the public in 1955, is not far away. On our second day we decided to take a trip to see the steam locomotive, named Mariloo by Queen Elizabeth II in 2008, and the exquisite 200 acre gardens. For children there is a garden trail with ‘things to find’ which helps keep them entertained. Always useful! Hayden was more than happy to see what he could discover. Stephen’s Mum and Dad as well as sister are keen walkers so they were able to go much further. In fact there are over 20 miles of pathways, three woods and parkland to explore, so there is plenty to see. The beauty of Exbury Gardens is that it changes so much with the changing seasons, so for those who have been before it is worth a second, third or even fourth visit and for those who have not been before, it is a must to see, and it is not that far away either. We are so lucky here in West Moors to have our own Plantation, situated just a few miles from the sea and so close to the fantastic New Forest! What a place to live. We chose really well. Nellie was thrilled with her trip to the Centenary Site and I am sure we will be back again soon…. Where will Nellie go next…? By Debbie Corney

‘PLAY SAFE’ - A comedy Community News
Written by Jane Hilliard & Paul A.J. Rudelhoff.
Ex game show host Lance Kennedy and his wife run ‘Fairlawn’ a small rest home for retired show biz folk. A slightly eccentric group of people still trying to relive their days of fame on the small screen. Carina the hired help does her best to keep to keep them all in order and Matron runs the home with a rod of iron but their patience is seriously challenged with the arrival of ‘The Bentley Boys’. Two teenage ‘minicrooks’ sent to the rest home to work out their community service. It is soon apparent that ‘The Boys’ have an ulterior motive for being at the home, they are looking for something and they are not the only ones! Who will find it first? Chaos and mayhem run riot in this world of ‘Dotty’ entertainers and small time crooks! Do join us on 26/27/28 November 2015.

Gardening Tips
on your
PLOT Feeling Fruity
Few flavours compare with that of fruit freshly picked from the garden. Much of the fruit available in the shops (particularly the supermarkets) has been grown for it’s ability to travel well rather than it’s flavour and may have been picked well before it’s arrival on the shelf. If you fancy apples from your own tree, or a bowl of raspberries fresh from the garden, now is the time to act. Jobs for November:Start to harvest parsnips after the first frosts. Tidy up your greenhouse or polytunnel, wash out pots and seed trays before storing ready for the Spring Sow hardy peas or broad beans ready for an early crop next year. Use netting or chicken wire to protect your broccoli and cabbages from hungry pigeons. If you haven’t already done so, plant garlic and shallots. If your rhubarb is taking over, lift and divide the crowns before replanting.
If you are anything like me you will spend ages drooling over pictures of bushes dripping with blackcurrants or gooseberries, trees laden with apples, or bowls full of luscious raspberries but struggle to get to grips with the realities of production on your own plot! Patience is a virtue that is definitely required for growing your own, and this is particularly so with fruit trees and bushes. I have to confess to having an inclination to move on with anything that requires more than a few months to give a decent crop, but with most fruit you just have to force yourself to take the long term view and now being the proud owner of a 2 year old gooseberry bush and raspberry canes I can assure you that the waiting is worthwhile! Think carefully about where you will grow your fruit. Trees require lots of space (but are a wonderfully attractive addition to your plot) while bushes may be incorporated in your borders, but will probably need some protection if you aren’t going to loose a lot of fruit to the birds. Late autumn is an ideal time to add fruit to your plot as trees and bushes will be entering their dormant period. It is important to buy healthy plants and to ensure that they are dormant as they will transplant more successfully. If you are ordering from a reputable mail order nursery they are likely to arrange delivery to coincide with the best time for planting. You should also get
instruction on how to plant and care for your new tree or bush. Trees such as apple or plum may be grafted onto a variety of different rootstocks - this sounds complicated but all you really need to know is what effect this will have on the final size of the tree. If you have limited space it is possible to buy dwarf varieties some of which can even be suitable for container growing. Pollination is also an important consideration, some varieties are self -fertile and do not need a pollinator, while others may require another variety planted close by to act as a pollinator. When planting your tree out it may benefit from staking and protection around the base. One ‘fruit’ that is a little different and very easy to grow is Rhubarb. Rhubarb is actually classified as a vegetable, but certainly tastes good used like a fruit in crumbles and pies. November is the perfect time to plant out dormant crowns. Although these can be bought from nurseries Rhubarb tends to spread well when established and needs to be divided every few years so it is often possible to obtain surplus crowns from friends or neighbours. Plant your crown with the buds just above the soil and water well the first year. Once the plants have become established you can look forward to harvesting a good crop of delicious pink stems from Spring onwards - very welcome as the first ‘fruit’ of the year.

My Success Story “I am 59 years old and went through a very painful divorce in 2002. Since then I have had a number of difficult work situations. I have been quite stressed and always seem to be getting into disputes with people. Any relationships that I had did not work out. Physically I put on a lot of weight and I felt quite unhappy and down. My back started to hurt more and more and prevented me from exercising. I had frequent incapacitating migraines and I drank too much. “Over the last 15+ years, I have done a load of courses I have read many many books, I even tried to learn more about being a medium etc. I was looking for answers as to what life was about and how I had created what I was facing. I knew at some level that I was responsible for what was happening to me, I knew that only I could sort my life out, I just did not know how to do it or even where to start. “I literally stumbled across Scientology® without knowing that it was Scientology. I responded to an advert which was on a page with lots of other self tests, as I felt that I could be a bit depressed and wanted to see if it was true. I did the test, had a chat with Mel and started the DIANETICS® course. The book was really interesting. It resonated in so many ways. The technical explanations and the information that was given in the book made a lot of sense to me so I ploughed through the book, quite motivated to finish it.

“I now have no more migraines, literally, I have not had even a headache since finishing the auditing. My back is doing really well and I have no real pain now. I feel less stressed and emotional all of the time and I don’t get upset with little things. I am not as reactive as I was. I am quite calm now. I am sleeping quite well now (7 hours a night is normal now - I used to get 4 or 5 max a night before). I also had a lot of food allergies, which are not totally cured but in the main they are much better. My flare ups are much less frequent than they were and not as extreme. I have noticed quite a difference since doing the ‘Survival Rundown’. As I go through this course I am noticing that I am much more present and spend less time in the past. Old stuff does not get in the way so much. I see things much clearly now (literally) and I feel that time actually seems to go slower - or I get a lot more done - don’t know which one it is and I don’t care - its great. Please read the DIANETICS book and see for yourself how it could help you.” - BR
“I wanted to do more so I went to do ‘auditing’ and several Life Improvement courses.
