Welcome...
The West Moors Directory
Dear Neighbours, The wonderful summer weather really did spoil Edition 156 us this year didn’t it! The children are now back to school and we are starting to look forward to those golden autumn leaves brightening our skies. Personally, I love our British changing seasons. Places look Stephen & Debbie Corney different at different times of year, so it is a good excuse to re-visit some of our favourite spots. It is now time to start planning any changes to the house, before those winter months really do set in. A new kitchen, bathroom, or bedroom maybe? Perhaps a new colour on the walls, or those electrics fixed once and for all? There are Blinds, Curtains & Shutters, Builders, Cameras, Carpet & Upholstery Cleaners, Denture Services, Drainage Services, Driveways, Garden Services, Health & Wellbeing, Hearing Aid Services, Loft Ladder Installations, Oven Cleaners, Painters & Decorators, Plumbing & Heating, Property Maintenance, Residential Care Homes, Solicitors, Tree Surgeons, Will Writing Services and Windows, Doors & Conservatories. Many local trades and service people in fact, all inside your little magazine who are here for you. They would love to hear your call or see you in person. Please let each know how you found their details as we are here to help them, help you… and we love to hear the advertisers are busy! The prize word search continues to be very popular. The lucky winner this month was Geoff Keegan. Well done! Who will be the next lucky winner? I will let you know. Wishing you a Super September!

Understanding Hearing Loss The ear is made up of three parts. The outer ear, the middle ear and the inner ear. Sound is received by the outer ear and is channelled through the ear canal to the ear drum and the middle ear. The sound causes the ear drum to vibrate and results in the tiny bones in the middle ear tapping against each other, this vibration is transferred to the 30,000 tiny hair cells in the inner ear. Types of hearing loss 1. Conductive hearing loss: sound is blocked in the outer or middle ear. Causes could be • Excessive wax • Damaged ear drum • Ear infection or fluid in the middle ear • Stiffness in the bones of the middle ear Solution • Often can be medically treated • Hearing instruments can be very successful if unable to treat medically
7
2. Sensorineural hearing loss: damage to the inner hair cells or the hearing nerve impairs the transmission of sound signals to the brain. Causes • Ageing • Noise exposure • Hereditary factors Solution • Cannot be corrected with medicine or surgery • Hearing aids can be extremely helpful If you have concerns about your hearing or are feeling hesitant about your next step, consider the vast improvements in quality of life experienced by people who take action. Studies, and our clients, have shown that once they begin using hearing instruments they enjoy great improvements in social, emotional and physical wellbeing. Make the first step today and call Clarity Hearing on 01202 478881 to arrange your free hearing health check.

Wildlife News
Talking about Wildlife...
The dragon of the skies… No summer is complete without experiencing the sights and sounds of a dragonfly as it hunts over a nearby pond. Agile and colourful, dragonflies are a joy to watch with their aerial manoeuvres rivalling the fastest military aircraft as they duck and turn in pursuit of prey, or narrowly avoid the clutches of hungry hobbies. These adaptable insects lord over wetlands, moorland and even woodland glades, feeding on flies, midges and even each other. If you thought butterflies were the only insects worth a second glance, these multi-coloured, iridescent predators demand appreciation too. In addition to occasional visitors from continental Europe, there are 17 species of damselfly and 23 species of dragonfly resident in the UK. They are found in almost every habitat, bringing a splash of colour to the landscape just as the wildflowers and butterflies are winding down – so now is the perfect time to spot them! This year in Dorset we’ve been lucky enough to witness the arrival of the Southern Migrant Hawker dragonfly, which is usually found in warmer climes. Spotted in Lytchett Heath in east Dorset, this is a first recording for the county, most likely due to the prolonged period of warm weather this summer. The overall appearance of the male Southern migrant hawker is much bluer Southern migrant hawker dragonfly

than the more common migrant hawker, and is often called the blue-eye hawker, on account of its blue eyes. The migrant hawker dragonfly is one of the most exciting dragonflies to spot, and you can often find them hunting along sheltered hedgerows in August and September. Another impressive dragonfly you may see this year is the emperor dragonfly, which is a characteristic dragonfly of new ponds, where for the first few years, their larvae may be extremely common. The males are pale blue, with an applegreen throat and a black stripe running the length of the body. Dragonflies are most active in warm and sunny conditions and are most commonly found near water, but several species also travel to feed in gardens, fields and woodland edges. To help with your identification of dragonflies and damselflies, visit The Wildlife Trust ID pages: www. wildlifetrusts.org/wildlife-explorer/invertebrates.

26 You’ve worked hard for what you have. Make sure you keep it. Protect your home from funding future care fees which currently run at an average £1000 per week. Do you want your home and wealth to go to your children and other loved ones? Have you ever considered what the effect might be on your savings and investments, or even your home, if you ever needed residential care later in life. The Problem Currently anyone with assets in excess of £23,250 will not receive any assistance with care fees. Typically, when a couple owns a house together and one partner dies, their share passes to the surviving spouse. Whilst at first glance this would appear practical it is this sole and absolute ownership that enables a whole property to be taken into consideration as an asset by the local authority and puts the property on danger of needing to be sold to fund care.
The Solution A Property Protection Trust Will is a will drafted to help protect your property from an assessment by the local authority to fund long term care fees. The half share of the family home belonging to the first person to die, passes into trust. This type of trust is also known as a Life Interest Trust in favour of the survivor which means that they can benefit from the share of the house in the trust during his/her lifetime and on their death the trust fund passes to others, usually the children. What’s Included Severance of tenancy on your property. This changes the legal ownership on the land registry from joint tenants to tenants in common. Meaning you both own it 50/50. Wills, Protective Property Trusts, all Power of Attorney’s, Advanced Directives, Original signed and witnessed copies. Contact Dorset Wills on 01202 065953.

Wines: A Good Choice - Rosé Rosé wines are very popular for drinking in the summer months. Now, with several styles being available, made utilising a wide variety of grapes, they can be enjoyed throughout the full year. Popularity speaks for itself, as many countries, worldwide, now produce these wines, which incorporate some of their colour from the grape skins. Adding colour to a dining table and al fresco, for example, as well as making fabulous apéritifs, these wines are a great choice. Indeed, sophistication comes to mind, when the pink wines are around.
La Vieille Ferme Rosé (France) is a very popular (dry) wine. I find this has pleasant, light-red fruits for the bouquet and most pleasing mouthfeel, which continues on, to the palate sensation. Pairs well with grilled meats, salads and a lot of cuisine. Coeur de Cardeline (France) is a further, often-selected, production. This Côtes de Provence pale-pink pleaser exudes a bouquet of summer fruits, which enticingly leads to the mouth’s pleasures. The excellent flavours continue to the palate, for a most satisfying finish. Grilled meats, fish, pasta and salads, match very well with this wine. Arniston Bay Rosé (South Africa) is a Fairtrade production which graces many dining tables. The name is a reference to the blue skies, wonderful beaches and the fishing village. Again, the bouquet pleases, very well and the mouthfeel follows, with red berry flavours, plus a positive, memorable finish. Great to accompany numerous dishes of cuisine. These are just a selection. Each to their own and we all have our preferences – whether red, white, sparkling or other. Take pleasure in finding your favourites. I located these wines at Co-op stores. Having been a customer of the Co-op for many years, I have noticed an increase in the variety of household goods and foods, as time progresses. With the choices of wines, spirits, beers and other beverages available, the Co-op, I consider, is most worthwhile visiting. If Co-op membership is of interest, then customesr gain rewards on selected purchases and products. The Co-op also supports Fairtrade. For more details www.coop.co.uk and www.infofairtrade.net As always, Enjoy!

KINGSTON FESTIVAL WEEK 16th – 23rd September - Music, Flowers, Crafts This year St James’ Church in the village of Kingston is holding several events during the third week of September, aiming to bring church and community together. The week will start on Sunday 16th September with a Quarter Peal of the 10 bells, coordinated by Mike Pitman, our Tower Captain, who will be joined by Bell ringers from across the area. They will be starting at about 1.30. There will then be a Music Afternoon from 2.30pm til 4.30pm in the Church, where people can come and listen to Organ Music played by Roderick Raley while enjoying a relaxing cup of tea and afternoon refreshments. There will also be an exhibition of photographs by Terry Hardy who lives in the village. Hopefully we can also offer visits to the tower if weather permits during the afternoon. On Tuesday 18th September at 2.30pm we have Peter and Hazel Hartle of Purbeck Ice Cream speaking about their first 30 years of Purbeck Ice Cream. They have been building up their business from their Kingston-based farm at Lower Scoles and will give a talk about how the well-known brand first began and developed over the years. Please do reserve a seat for this event as we need an idea how many are coming (judyforgan@hotmail.co.uk). On Wednesday 19th September at 2.00pm Harmony Rocks, a local choir of ladies, will bring a repertoire of popular classics, under the direction of Annie Campbell. Tea and cakes will be served during the interval. Tickets are not essential but you may like to reserve a seat. On Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd September our third Flowers, Crafts
and Music Festival will take place with arrangements around the theme ‘Water of Life’. The Church will be open for viewing and refreshments from 10am until 4pm on both Saturday and Sunday. People from across the new Benefice of St Aldhelm have been involved in putting this together, with supporters helping from Kimmeridge, Corfe Castle and Church Knowle, as well as Langton and Worth Matravers. We are very grateful to all who are contributing towards what will be a very special week. The Festival Week will close with an informal Songs of Praise Service ‘Hymns with Pimms’ from about 3.15pm. Please come and support some or all of the events, which help to bring the wider community and church together. There is no charge for admission but hopefully people will give a generous donation towards the Church Funds. Thanks also to our sponsors Albury and Hall Estate Agents from Swanage, Foleys Garage at Harmans Cross and J. Smith Funeral Directors in Swanage.

Late summer to autumn is the main period for planting shrubs in containers, although container grown shrubs can be put into ornamental pots at almost any time.
based compost as shrubs are likely to stay in their containers for a few years and any grown in peat based compost will need frequent feeding and will dry out more quickly than loam based ones.
Choose a container that is the right size for the shrub. If the container has been previously used, scrub its inside surfaces thoroughly.
However, you should use ericaceous compost for lime haters such as rhododendrons, pieris, camellia, conifers and heathers.
Put heavy containers into position before planting up, or risk a slipped disc! Stand the container on blocks or bricks to allow free drainage. Put broken crocks over the drainage holes and if you have something like coarse gravel put a 1 inch layer to help with drainage. Place some compost next and then arrange the plant centrally. Pack more compost round the edges making sure there are no air pockets and allow at least 10 cms below the rim to allow for watering and mulching. A loam based compost, such as ‘nutrient rich’ is better than a peat

Entertainment was provided throughout the lunch by magician Clive Greenaway, who spent time with each guest performing an array of tricks. Anthony Woodhouse, Managing Director of Hall & Woodhouse, explained: “Hall & Woodhouse is a values-led business where the team is part of the family and the family is part of the team. It is important for us to keep in touch with our past team members and this is our way of saying thank you for their loyal and dedicated service, which they provided the company with for many years. “Teamwork is at the heart of our success due to
Hall & Woodhouse’s Pensioner’s Lunch was held at The Grasshopper in Poole
Hall & Woodhouse’s Pensioner’s Lunch is hosted by Mark and Anthony Woodhouse the team working together to provide excellent hospitality for our guests. Our Pensioner’s Lunch recognises this and gives back to our extended team with good company, food and entertainment.” Hall & Woodhouse is a local independent family company that leads the UK market in brewing and hospitality. The company has a collection of around 200 beautiful pubs, stretching from Bristol to Exeter, London to Brighton. The business is dedicated to supporting the Dorset community and its causes, having invested over £30million into the county since 2013, on top of their regular and extensive charity donations. H&W’s Founder’s Day is celebrated annually in June to mark the day the company was founded. To coincide with this celebration, team members and regulars at all of the managed pubs take to the streets to tackle litter in the local areas. H&W’s pubs are hubs in the community and so to celebrate the day, the business helps to keep communal spaces clean and tidy. All participants are rewarded with a slice of cake and a bottle of specially brewed Founder’s Ale. Please visit www.hall-woodhouse.co.uk for more information.

Tastes so good... TOMATO SOUP
As the weather turns slightly colder as we venture into Autumn, there is nothing more perfect than a warming tomato soup. You can add croutons to give it an extra crunch or you can even top it off with basil leaves if you want to dress it up.
Serves 4 Ingredients: 1 tbsp. butter 2 garlic cloves 3 x 400g cans plum tomatoes 500ml vegetable stock 5 soft sun dried tomatoes in oil 1tsp. sugar 125g pot fresh basil pesto 142ml pot soured cream
Equipment: Large pan Method: In a large plan, heat 1 tbsp. of butter (or oil if you prefer) and then crush the garlic cloves and add to the pan. Do this on a low heat for roughly 3 minutes until the garlic has softened. Then, add the chopped tomatoes and the canned tomatoes. Once you have done this, add the sugar, stock and seasoning. Turn up the heat and bring the soup mixture to a simmer. Let it simmer for 10 minutes until the tomatoes have broken down then take off the heat. With a stick blender, whizz the whole mixture together. Add half the sour cream and continue to use to stick blender. Make sure to taste as you go to adjust the seasoning or alternatively add more sugar if you prefer. When it is all blended, serve the soup into bowls. You can either add more sour cream into the bowl or add some pesto on top.
