We certainly have had some wonderful weather these last few weeks, and long may it continue. Nellie took us out for my sister’s Birthday celebration in May. What a great day that was, even if a little blustery. There is so much to do here on our wonderful South Coast. Nellie, the Dorset Publications Campervan, hopes you enjoy her story and are able to create your own fun days out too. You could always write and tell her about it! I don’t know about you, but we have also been creating the garden recently with new flowers and an additional lounger. It is that time of year! If you need any help with the weeding, replanting or even redesign of your garden please call one of our loyal advertisers inside. Then, while you are out in the sunshine, why not get another expert to redecorate the house, have a new bathroom fitted, a bedroom make-over, or new curtains and blinds fitted? There are lots of dedicated local people, experts in what they do who could make life a little easier for you as well as add value to your home. You deserve it, so go on give one (or more of them) a call for a friendly chat and advice about what you want. Please do mention us, so they know how you got their details. It makes all our work worthwhile. There are also articles on local events, groups and charities inside so get that deckchair out, pop the kettle on and have a read. It is a very English sort of thing to do. The lucky winner of the prize wordsearch last month was Sheila Linter. Well done! Will it be you this month? I do hope so. Here’s to a jolly month of June. Wishing you well,

News from Westminster Spring has finally sprung – and we may even be seeing the start of summer! April and May have had some extremes of weather, but I hope you all had the chance to enjoy some sunshine over the early May bank holiday weekend. I have had a very varied month, with events and meetings across the constituency and in London. I was delighted to open the new premises for Shands funeral care in Corfe Mullen. They do some great work in the community, and are supportive of a wide range of charities and events, including the Corfe Mullen carnival, coming up on Saturday 9th June. I had a tour around Montecute School and enjoyed a delicious cake & coffee at their fundraising Happy Zone café. This is open to the public serving drinks and cakes on term-time Fridays from 1030-1115. Do drop in if you get the chance and you will be assured of a warm welcome. In Upton I popped in to chat to the volunteers at the Upton Day centre fundraising coffee morning, along with the Upton Gardening Club. I was pleased to chat to Purbeck’s volunteer of the year Martyn Chase whilst I was there. There are so many people giving their time to make our communities a better place to live and work. In London I attended a reception to celebrate the work of apprentices, and had the chance to chat to some local Cobham apprentices from Wimborne. I am always keen to encourage young people in whatever career path they chose, and it was fascinating to hear from them about their work. I have also recently visited local Poole business Actisense to meet members of the Dorset Young Chamber of Commerce from local schools in Dorset. I have had a great deal of correspondence from constituents about some of the debates in parliament recently. One of these was the change in the law increasing the protections for emergency workers. I was pleased to be in Parliament on Friday, to support the

Bill and speak during the debate. My grandfather was a police officer, as was my uncle and we owe emergency service workers a debt of gratitude for the courage, commitment and dedication they demonstrate in carrying out their duties. I was delighted to receive some letters from school children in Wareham about the problem of plastic pollution and our environment. As many of them pointed out, we can all do our bit to help. I always like to hear from young people about issues that matter to them, and it is vital that we continue to protect our beautiful countryside for future generations. I continue to hold regular surgeries for constituents all year round and if you have an issue that you need help with, please do get in touch; email me on michael.tomlinson.mp@parliament.uk or contact my office on 01202 624216. You can also follow what I’ve been doing on Twitter @Michael4mdnp or Facebook www.facebook. com/michael4MDNP or on my website www. michaeltomlinson.org.uk.

Notes from...

WarehamTown Museum Sandford was once well known for its potteries. When the first of these, Sandford Pottery, opened in 1860, there was no Sandford: the village grew up around it. The huge factory with its 55-metre high chimney dominated Sandford and employed many local people. It closed in 1966 and was demolished in 1979. The houses of Forest Edge now occupy the site. We have a display of products of the potteries in the museum. When it opened, Sandford Pottery made high quality table ware such as the jug illustrated here, showing soldiers of the Territorial Army. However, within two years the company went bust and for the rest of its life the pottery made more mundane things like bricks, drainpipes and chimney pots. Two smaller potteries, Keysworth and Sibley, were established in Sandford in 1910 and 1922 respectively. They made fine table ware in vivid colours, and we have several examples. The buildings of Sibley Pottery, and the roadside sign, survive at the Wareham end of the village. You can find out more about the potteries

of Sandford in the museum and on our website www.wtm.org.uk Further information can also be found at www. sandfordheritage.org/ the website of the Sandford Heritage Community Group, which has a programme of events on the cultural and natural heritage of the area. Wareham Town Museum is situated in the Town Hall, and is open Monday to Saturday, 10am to 4pm, April to October. Entrance is free. The museum is run by volunteers and there are lots of opportunities to get involved; if you would like to help, contact us via our website or Facebook page, or call in. Ben Buxton, Honorary Curator

New state-of-the-art Ferrari service centre for Meridien Modena Family-owned motoring business, Meridien Modena, has invested ÂŁ3.5 million in a new 14,000 sq ft, two floor, state-of-the-art Ferrari service centre, based near its showroom in Lyndhurst, Hampshire. Located on the Hounsdown Business Park, the Ferrari service centre provides an additional servicing facility enabling the Meridien Modena team to complete restorations, pioneering technical refurbishments, as well as routine scheduled servicing on Ferrari vehicles. Creating seven new jobs including two full-time apprentice technicians from September, Meridien Modena will have

in excess of 40 staff running the centre to ensure exceptional service is delivered to its nationwide customer base. With 13 service bays, scheduled service times will be dramatically reduced from a peak of six weeks to between three and five days. Two service bays will be dedicated to working on classic Ferrari’s which are more than 20 years old as Meridien Modena has officially been recognised by the Italian brand as one of only nine authorised Classiche workshops in the UK. The centre also includes a lounge for clients to relax and view the workshop through floor to ceiling glass. The centre has the capability to accommodate a total of 80 vehicles onsite, including a storage area to house 35 cars on the first floor. It has an array of the latest technology including lever-less tyre fitting equipment, integrated work tool stations delivering technicians with retractable oil, water, compressed air and power on demand to aid workshop efficiency. A large parts carousel system which will enable 3,000 parts to be stored, as well as high voltage special tooling to work on hybrid vehicles.

17 Chris Ambrose, who is heading up the Ferrari service centre team as service manager, said: “The opening of this additional facility is an exciting development for Meridien Modena. This revolutionary facility has the newest technology available for customers, so they can rest assured that their car will be in good hands if it requires any work to be carried out or routine maintenance. “A key focal point in the centre of the workshop is a first-floor vehicle lift. The first-floor has 14 storage lifts which allows 35 vehicles to be stored to allow the workshop below to remain free flowing for daily work.” Meridien Modena received the Ferrari Global Aftersales Dealer of the Year Award at the annual Ferrari Dealer Conference, held earlier this year at the Fiorano Circuit in Italy. The judges explained that the Lyndhurst-based dealership had won the award in recognition of ‘hitting and exceeding various targets and for customer satisfaction throughout the year across the service and parts departments.’ Glenn Butt, director at Meridien Modena, said: “We’re delighted to be launching our new service centre to benefit our ever-growing client base. The significant investment in the new centre and its facilities ensures that we meet the exemplary standards expected from the Ferrari brand.

Award winning team - Meridien Modena win the Ferrari Global Aftersales Dealer of the Year Award “It is testament to the team’s hard work that we were awarded Ferrari Global Aftersales Dealer of the Year 2017. We were absolutely thrilled to receive the Ferrari Portofino V8 Engine, which is on display in our new service centre for customers to come along and see up close for themselves. “We are also proud to be the only centre on the south coast that will be able to offer the aftersales facility element of the Ferrari ‘Classiche’ service, a service which can be provided to classic and competition cars. At our new facility we’ll be able to provide all the mechanical repairs and inspections needed to restore or rebuild a classic Ferrari and ensure each vehicle complies with the original specifications. This is an incredibly exciting element for us, as previously all parts of the Classiche service were carried out in Maranello, Italy.” For more information, visit: www.meridien.co.uk

Wildlife News

Talking about Wildlife...

Helping the birds Many of us will have wanted to help our familiar garden birds by putting up nest boxes for them to use in the spring. We rightly love the sight of the blue tits and robins taking advantage of our help.

But beyond our gardens, out on our beautiful heaths, there are other birds which cannot be helped by putting up nest boxes. This is because their specialist lifestyle involves nesting on the ground amongst the heather and bracken. So, these birds need our help and thoughtfulness in another way. They very much need us to think constantly about not disturbing them as they keep vigil on their eggs or chicks when we go out on the heath. We, or our dogs, only have to stray a very short distance from a path for a rare woodlark or nightjar to be scared off its vulnerable nest - quite possibly causing the bird to fail to breed successfully. A failed year is very significant to such rare birds

which can only breed on this rare habitat which we are so lucky to have around us. This is why it is so important that we stick to the paths and keep our dogs on a lead from March, when the nesting season begins, right through the summer, when it ends. None of us would deliberately destroy the nest of a robin or blue tit, but it is terribly easy to unwittingly destroy the nest of a woodlark or nightjar just by leaving the paths or not keeping our dogs on a lead in the spring and summer. If we follow the ‘heathland code’ in this and other ways, we can both protect the special wildlife of the heath and enjoy its beauty to the full. For information about DWT’s nature reserves to visit this summer, and where nesting birds are likely to be, visit: www.dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/reserves By Lesley Haskins, The Erica Trust Dartford Warbler Photo: S Davis

Volunteers honoured at annual ceremony Dedicated volunteers from across the District of Purbeck have received thanks and recognition for their work at a ceremony in Wareham hosted by District Council Chairman, Bill Trite. The volunteers from Purbeck’s towns and villages had their many and varied contributions to the wellbeing of their communities described and wholeheartedly appreciated at this tenth annual ceremony. Councillor Trite and guests heard of the energy, enthusiasm and commitment displayed by volunteers in their work for the benefit of others. After presenting each volunteer with a scroll to mark his or her achievement, Councillor Trite told them: “It’s a privilege to be able to thank you for what you do and, through you, to thank all those other local volunteers not here tonight for their time and work freely given. “It is said that the ultimate test of character is how you treat those who can never be of any possible use to you. Well, very many volunteers pass that test with flying colours.

“Reductions in local authority funding means that progressively greater reliance will have to be placed on volunteers in the future - so let us never forget or overlook them.” Thirteen parishes and towns across the District nominated Volunteers of the Year, all of whom were congratulated in front of more than 50 guests. The volunteers of the year were: • Affpuddle and Turnerspuddle – Mr Campbell de Burgh • Arne – Mr Peter Booth • Bere Regis - Mr Philip Ventham • Church Knowle – Mr Christopher Boon • East Stoke – Mrs Maureen Quinn • Langton Matravers - Dr Chris Spilling • Lytchett Matravers – Mrs Julia Gracey • Lytchett Minster and Upton – Mr Martyn Chase • Studland – Mr Steve Smith • Swanage – Mr Ian Brown • Wareham – Mrs Anne Laugharne • Wareham St Martin – Sandford Heritage Community Group • Wool – Mrs Sharon Palmer

Adventures of Nellie

28

The Adventures of Nellie The Purbeck Publications Camper Van Birthdays! They are a great excuse to let your hair down, have a family gettogether or just simply spoil yourself in luxury for the day. Nellie, being somewhat advanced in years, has had many opportunities to try different ways to celebrate. This was my sister’s Birthday, May 10th. What I had never realised is that my own Birthday, being 22nd December, was always celebrated with family meals and parties to compensate the fact that it was so near Christmas. It was never to be forgotten. Sue’s Birthday however, in the wonderful month of May, had never been celebrated in the same way, except a party she had organised herself for her 40th. So, we were going to change this. Nellie was determined we would get together and do something for Sue we knew she would like. Of course, it had to be a surprise. Gary, Sue’s husband, told Nellie she wanted to go to Swanage on a boat. What a great idea! Mum and Dad (more correctly Dad) had been fishing at Docklow up North, had then travelled

All aboard... with the birthday girl!

Family birthday trip out on the Solent Scene to friends in Wales, and then made the journey all the way to the South for us all to be together. Dad is 83 and loves adventures… he gets on well with Nellie! Job done. We were all in the same town, so step one complete. It was a blustery day in Poole. Even the waves by the Quay were dancing around in excitement with little ‘white horses’ appearing and disappearing quickly. Nellie was nervous. If it was like that here in the shelter of the Quay, what would it be like out at sea? Mum, Dad, myself and Stephen were all positioned for the grand arrival of the Birthday Girl. Just in the distance we saw Gary and Sue arriving, little people slowly walking towards us. Once they were nearer I could see Sue’s grin. It was nearly as big as Nellie’s but not so silvery. She was happy. Gary however looked a little trepidacious. He was not sure if the boat would be sailing. Oh No! After all that planning would we be foiled by our everchanging English weather? Please no. Off Gary went to the kiosk while we all

29 waited with baited breath. He returned looking somewhat reassured, but not totally content. The boat would sail, but not all the way to Swanage, it would take us on a two-hour tour to Old Harry Rocks and back. We decided to go with it as we were all there and we love the water. Nellie was so glad we did. It was a bit rough, but that’s what we liked. Dad was now grinning from ear to ear and reminiscing about his days on the trawlers that his skipper father used to sail. Mum sat inside with a coffee, also smiling as we were enjoying ourselves so much. Sue did her Titanic impersonation at the very front of the boat and I nearly got soaked with a wave that splashed enthusiastically onto the deck. Soon after this the captain decided to turn around. Health and safety I am sure. Certainly, bouncing up and down on choppy waters is not everybody’s cup of tea, or should I say legs of sea? It was a great trip, well enjoyed. So now what better than to have a late breakfast in one the ‘Mediterranean style’ cafes overlooking the fantastic boats and yachts moored in Poole Harbour? It had to be done. After a delicious brekkie, we walked to the new Poole Pottery shop and had a potter round (forgive the pun…). Mum bought a couple of pressies and I bought some sweets. We had decided to drive to Norden and catch the train to Swanage, so the original plan would be fulfilled. Off we set. There is something magical and enticing about trains which is why I think they attract so much attention from photographers and train spotters. There are many along this train line. Going back in time on an old diesel

Coffee and cake... with a view we arrived in Swanage, having passed the wonderful Corfe Castle enroute. It was now time for coffee and cake of course (I really do not understand why I am putting weight on?) so we sat in a little café right on the front watching the dancing waters of Swanage Bay. Idyllic. It so happens that Sue’s present from the family this year was an amazing 19th Century Victorian locket that she had always wanted. Brian at Georgian Gems in Swanage had got it especially for me. Sue loves it. When I said she could put a photo in it she immediately said she would find one of her rabbit! Gary and I were not amused, although he did say he knows his place. Travelling back we got front seats on the Pullman! Wonderful large windows with fantastic views of the rolling countryside, the stone houses and of course the castle again. We were also presented with a short history of the carriage by the smartly dressed ticket collector. What more could you ask? The whole day was a huge success. So maybe now we can make May 10th a never to be missed excuse to go out and enjoy ourselves? Happy Birthday Sue. Where will Nellie take us next…? By Debbie Corney

Local young lady wins two titles on road to Miss England 2018 A first in Miss England - Stephanie Wyatt wins TWO titles!

Whoever is crowned Miss World will walk away with a £100,000 cash prize.

THE winner of this year’s Miss Dorset and Miss Hampshire is already looking ahead to the Miss England finals.

Stephanie will now spend a year working to inspire other young people to help the environment, as an ambassador for the not-for-profit organisation, We Do Ethical Living.

Stephanie Wyatt, aged 18, was awarded the county title at the climax of the regional heats. For months she has been championing green living in a bid to highlight the benefits of a more sustainable Dorset, competition organisers say.

She will also attend charity events, awards ceremonies and business galas.

Stephanie, from Poole, said: “It is an absolute honour to be crowned Miss Dorset and Miss Hampshire and I now look forward to attending the Miss England Finals. “I’m excited, nervous and overwhelmed but I was always told if your dreams do not scare you then you are not dreaming big enough.” Stephanie will compete in Miss England in July, which is the UK’s official entry point to the Miss World contest.

Gardening Tips

a beginner’s

GUIDE Watering

The idea of what constitutes a good summer varies greatly according to one’s interests, and the average child or beach lover is happy with bright sun every day but gardeners and farmers crave a bit of moderation.

large containers, that’s all to the good but don’t be afraid to use washing-up water (we haven’t all got dish washers) and bathwater if it’s not too contaminated by bubble bath and suchlike.

Perfection might be sunshine all day and rain at night but that rarely happens so we usually have to spend some time rescuing our water starved plants at some point through the summer. It is better to water heavily, soaking the soil occasionally rather than giving a light shower which will just encourage the roots to the surface and the water will never get down to where it is needed.

Don’t worry about the lawn - grass really is as tough as old boots and although it might look like the Gobi desert, it will all come back to life after a decent drop of rain. If the theories about global warming and warmer summers are to be believed, perhaps we should consider growing more plants that are happier in drier, more Mediterranean conditions rather than our traditional cottage garden varieties. Many grey or silver- leaved plants are a good example. Think about lavenders, rosemary, cistus, many ornamental grasses, bamboo and herbs.

Concentrate on salad crops to keep lettuce and radish etc. crisp and don’t worry so much about crops and plants with deeper roots. If you can catch rainwater in a water butt or

Introducing... Kids Love Nature A new nature Kindergarten is due to open in Lytchett Minster following the success of 4 ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted rated nurseries in Dorset and Hampshire.

Kids Love Nature have announced that their Kindergartens are growing, with the signed completion of a 5th site replacing the recently closed Learning Tree Nursery. Work is currently being done on the Kindergarten to ensure it’s ready for children to join in September. ‘We are extensively renovating the kindergarten. The outdoor space is being remodeled with lots of exciting new features. Indoors there will be a full refurbishment with new art room, classrooms for 1, 2 and 3+ year olds, plus new play equipment throughout.’ - Ben Walliman, Director at Kids Love Nature Ltd. With a strong connection to the outdoors, Kids Love Nature recognises the importance of children’s education, focusing on independence, creativity, freedom and setting children up to thrive into adulthood. Ben Walliman and Alex Shepherd, founders of Kids Love Nature, set up their first Kindergarten in Avon Heath in 2012. With over 30 years experience between them in early years education, they wanted to create an educational approach that integrated unique outdoor areas and beautiful indoor learning spaces. “The Kindergarten at Lytchett is going to fit the same education model that our others do. We encourage children to learn key skills that will help them later on in life, through enjoying the activities children should be doing, such as playing outside in all weathers, building dens and exploring the great outdoors.” - Ben Walliman

Kids Love Nature plan to make huge improvements to the building and garden before opening in September and are taking this an opportunity to give the community something different for their child’s education. “Many parents have asked us when we will be setting up a nursery with good links to both Poole and Dorchester. When this opportunity came up it was the perfect setting for us, and fitted all our key criterias.” - Alex Sheppard. The Kids Love Nature Kindergarten at Lytchett Minster will be holding an Open Day on Saturday 23rd June for families to attend. Ben, Alex, the Lytchett Kindergarten Manager plus other staff members will be present to answer any questions, whilst also giving children the opportunity to try many hands-on activities, such as baking, gardening, and den building. “The perfect environment to leave your precious little ones!” - Rebecca, Parent at Kids Love Nature The Kindergarten will be available for children aged 1 - 5 years old and will accept the 30 hours free government funding. For more information, enrollment details, or to book a place at the open day visit www.kidslovenature.co.uk/Lytchettminster or call on 01202 622337.

Introducing... Brenscombe Outdoor Centre Did you know that we have a market leading outdoor centre right here in Purbeck? Brenscombe Outdoor Centre has been open for over 25 years and welcomes groups from all over the world! The setting is perfect: Guests at the centre enjoy activities all around Purbeck from the centre’s base on the west side of Poole harbour, to the huge tree-based ropes course in the woods at Burnbake, cliff climbing on the coast, or lake-based activities on a private gravel pit near Wareham. We caught up with some of the team as they were getting ready for their school holiday ‘day camp’ children to arrive and had a chat to Tom, one of the centre’s lead instructors. We asked him how the day camps work? “It’s simple really, children are booked into the camps; online, by phone,

or by calling into the office. They can be dropped off at the centre Monday to Friday on school holidays to take part in a full day of activities. We don’t fix the program that way we can take advantage of the weather and tide. This means that we can have mega days with the groups doing things like archery, orienteering, low-ropes, highropes, climbing, canoeing, big-canoeing, hiking, team-games, the list goes on……. Not all activities happen every day, making each day different.” If you would like more information on Brenscombe Outdoor Centre drop into the office or take a look at the website: www.brenscombeoutdoor.co.uk

at competitive prices Whether you're enjoying the evening sun, listening to the patter of raindrops or watching snowflakes drift gently down, the MURANO VETRO glass roof creates the perfect retreat for the whole family, from early morning to late at night, January to December! In the MURANO VETRO glass roof you have the perfect protection from the weather at any time of the year, allowing you to extend the patio season. No matter whether you fancy a winter barbecue or want to inhale the fresh scent of a rainy day, MURANO VETRO is the perfect solution. Choose your favourite: the FLUSH model with posts in line with the front profile and integral gutter, or the OVERHANG model with recessed posts. Both models are also available with posts positioned laterally inwards. With a maximum width of 700cm and a depth of 500cm, the MURANO VETRO is suitable as a single unit for fairly large patios and as a linked system for even greater widths. The elegant structure can be installed relatively easily on virtually any patio.

We at Royal Bay Care Homes believe a care home should be a place: - Where each person is an individual. - Where there are no unnecessary rules and regulations. - Where dignity, peace and comfort take priority. - Where companionship, interest and activity flourishes. - And where people are supported to lead the fullest possible lives.

At the heart of every Royal Bay Care Home are core values with the emphasis on comfort, compassion, dignity, individuality, personality as well as great food. At Royal Bay our priority is you living your life your way. We have teams of incredibly caring, dedicated and qualified staff, plus Gold Standards Framework accreditation. Our Homes also have the latest medical and care facilities making them fully equipped to cater for either residential or nursing care needs, depending on the Home’s registration.
