Continuing to build on improvements At the Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch hospitals we have some outstanding services that have been recognised for their excellent clinical outcomes, innovation and patient care. For example did you know that: • Toshiba has chosen the Royal Bournemouth Hospital (RBH) as the first site for installation of its latest CT scanner – the first of its type in the world • we have among the lowest mortality rates for major colorectal surgery (statistically within the top 2% of trusts nationwide) • our Bournemouth Transplant Unit is JACIE accredited which means we are compliant with several hundred quality standards, all of which strive to ensure that a patient having a stem cell transplant has a safe procedure • in orthopaedics we are the third largest joint centre in the UK with some of the shortest lengths of stay, lowest rates of infection and highest levels of patient satisfaction • our cardiologists have the lowest levels of major adverse cardiac events in the country Many of you have also told us about your experiences and the great care you have received which is very reassuring for all of our staff. However, we know that we don’t give high quality care for every patient, every time, everywhere. This means providing safe and effective care and a good hospital experience. We are putting this right and building on the improvements we have already made. Assessing patients’ needs All patients on our wards now have their condition monitored via an electronic system, known as VitalPAC nurse. Using a handheld device, similar to an iPhone, nurses record and monitor a patient’s
VitalPAC in action on the wards

Patricia Ellis and her mum Virginia stopped by the Carers’ Café recently observations, for example blood pressure and heart rate. If a patient’s condition deteriorates the system automatically triggers a response from an appropriately skilled clinician, enabling a quicker clinical response, improving safety and enhancing patient care. It enables staff to prioritise treatment for the sickest patients. Listening and learning Listening to you and learning from your experiences is really important. This includes hearing from those who may find it difficult to have a voice. Every week we hold a Carers’ Café where carers and relatives can share their experiences with a qualified nurse over a coffee. We also have a range of support information and resources available for you. We are in the main atrium of the Royal Bournemouth Hospital from 1.30-2.30pm and look forward to seeing you. We have also invited local independent consumer watchdog Healthwatch Dorset to collect people’s views on our hospital and its services. Healthwatch will be at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital a couple of days a month for the next six months. The first two dates are Wednesday 5 March from 9am to 1pm and Friday 14 March from 12pm to 4pm when they’ll be talking to people in the main entrance area and main outpatients department. You can also share your feedback at www.healthwatchdorset.co.uk. You can read how we are continuing to improve in our weekly bulletin at www.rbch.nhs.uk. Just follow the link on the home page under the ‘Providing quality care’ section.

A smoke alarm without batteries is ‘a useless piece of plastic’ That is the message from Group Manager Karen Adams, Head of Prevention at Dorset Fire and Rescue Service. Karen leads a team of firefighters and officers, who are taking DFRS’s safety message out into the community, with a particular focus on educating vulnerable and hard to reach groups. When someone dies in a fi re, it is always upsetting. At Dorset Fire and Rescue Service, our aim is to reduce all preventable fire deaths to zero. We want to see every home in Dorset with a working smoke alarm and that means testing your smoke alarms every week! With the clock change fast approaching, when you go around your home changing the time on all your clocks, take the time to test your smoke alarms too! Karen said: “We provide a FREE home safety check service. This means fi refi ghters and DFRS staff visit residents in their homes and if appropriate, fit or replace smoke alarms, advise on the use of candles, unattended cooking, electric blankets, overloading sockets, chimneys, low energy light bulbs, escape plans and much more. This is all free of charge with the aim of encouraging people to think about fire safety in the home.” She added: “People need to consider their night-time routine – close doors,
01929 408080
keep an escape route clear, and check they know where the door key is so they can let themselves out. Smoke alarms should be tested once a week to make sure they are still working and in good condition. A smoke alarm without a battery is useless piece of plastic.” To request a Free Home Safety Check for you, or someone who may be vulnerable and would benefit from a visit, please get their permission and contact us FREE on 0800 038 2323 or use the online form found online at www.dorsetfire.gov.uk.

Barn Owls
Barns owls are amongst the most beautiful birds in Britain. Although some barn owls are brown in colour, the majority have golden and silver-grey feathers and white under-parts. They also have bright-white, heart-shaped faces, which resemble masks. Contrary to popular belief, these mystical birds do not hoot; instead, they hiss and emit long, unsettling shrieks. Barn owls consume small mammals (mice, voles and shrews), which they hunt from the air above. These striking birds are formidable hunters, but unfortunately the recent bad weather may have a negative impact on their ability to hunt: their wings are not waterproof, but designed with tiny serrations on their flight feathers so they are able to sweep through the air soundlessly. This unnerving ability has earned them the title ‘Ghost Owl.’ In addition, their sensitive hearing enables them to pinpoint the smallest sound whilst they are in flight. Ordinarily, barn owls hunt at dusk or dawn, although they will occasionally hunt during the day and at night (they do not require sight to hunt). Barn owls favour the open country. They will venture into the woodland if necessary, but prefer to hunt along the edges of woods. Barn owls breed when food is abundant. Ordinarily, they lay 4 to 7 eggs, 2-3 days apart.
01929 408080
Each egg will hatch after 31-32 days incubation. Females will sit on their young for an additional 3 weeks after they have hatched. During this time, their mate will bring food to the nest. Barn owls were once Britain’s most common owl species; however, the numbers have declined by up to 70% in recent years. This is due to the growing use of rodenticides, which are highly toxic. There are an estimated 4,000 pairs in the UK today, but there is concern that numbers are ever decreasing, and in recent years, the wet summers and cold winters have made conditions difficult for them. Dorset Wildlife Trust hosts a barn owl nest webcam, so you can see these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. For updates on our next nesting Barn owls, keep an eye on our website for more information: www.dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk Barn Owl in flight

Mercury Clean did a great job in cleaning our oven last month. Jamie arrived promptly, on time and immediately set to work. He was very thorough and completely professional. I was told by Martin the owner, that they would get the cooker looking like new again, and he was right! After all the festivities over Christmas and New Year (boy doesn’t that seem a long way away now!), the oven was a mess. You can see the difference after Jamie’s work in the photos here. Also, true to word, Jamie replaced the broken bulb and installed a new cover, all included in the cost. I would highly recommend Mercury Clean, so do give them a call if you need your oven or carpets cleaned! By Debbie Corney

Tastes so good... TOMATO REVITALISING SMOOTHIE
Revitalise yourself with a delicious, fresh tasting, peppery tomato smoothie. This quick and easy smoothie packs a punch both in flavor and also nutritionally. Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, the nutrient that gives tomatoes their red colour, the benefits of which are well documented for protecting cardiovascular health and also for being anti-carcinogenic. Tomato based lycopene, combined with a small amount of fat in the yogurt increases these health benefits according to much research conducted in the last decade. Enjoy!
Ingredients: 1 tbsp fresh basil leaves 12 cherry tomatoes 2 tbsp natural yogurt or crème fraiche A few turns of freshly ground pepper 1 tsp lime juice 2 tbsp water or apple juice.
Equipment: Blender or food processor Method: Place all ingredients in the blender or processor and whizz until completely combined and smooth. Pour into a beautiful glass and garnish with basil leaves. Diane Johnson

Storm damaged trees could benefit garden wildlife – with your help Two iconic trees were felled by the February storms in Wimborne last weekend. Knoll Gardens lost its stunning Monterey Pine along with the garden’s tallest tree, the amazing Eucalyptus chapmaniana. Both were listed on Knoll’s tree trail that features a selection of the rare and unusual trees found throughout the gardens. Knoll’s owner, Neil Lucas said, ”It was a real wrench to wake up and discover these wonderful trees had fallen. The shallow rooted eucalyptus literally just toppled over as its roots had less and less solid ground to cling too. Its fall has seriously damaged a water feature, but if we are able to sensitively relandscape the area we will try to save this iconic tree in its now, horizontal position. Sadly that is not an option for the Californian pine which will have to be cut down.” As well as their botanical interest both trees had huge sentimental value to both Neil and Knoll’s many visitors and he is hoping a way can be found to use at least some of the timber as a permanent reminder. “Alongside the gardens we also run a gardening charity,” said Neil. “The Knoll Gardens Foundation aims to promote wildlife-friendly,
01929 408080
sustainable gardening and it would be wonderful if there was someone who felt able to use our wood to create something which would make a permanent contribution to the value of the wildlife in the garden and we could position in pride of place where this stately tree once stood. “I have seen some stunning designs for bee houses which would fit beautifully into the landscape of the garden, but I’m very open to any good idea.” If you would like to help please contact Neil Lucas on 01202 873931 or email enquiries@knollgardens.co.uk. The gardens at Knoll are currently closed while the clear up is underway. Please check the website for details of reopening at www.knollgardens.co.uk. The onsite nursery has not been affected at all and remains open for business.

National Trust in Purbeck Corfe Castle is such a familiar outline on the Purbeck skyline it is easy to take it for granted. But the ancient castle is so much more than a ruin – it is a place where history comes alive. We often overlook what is on our doorstep, but why not make 2014 the year you take a fresh look at Corfe Castle? From April until September there is something happening each month, building on the success of last year’s biggest ever events programme. • April: medieval archers the Wolfshead Bowmen and the Companie of the Silver Arrow show why the longbow was such an important weapon in the middle ages.

Adventures of Nellie

The Adventures of Nellie The Purbeck Publications Camper Van Wow, what a mixture of weather we have had these last few months! Nellie took us all the way to Hull to see my family and we had 7 hours of solid rain getting there. Poor Nellie, she looked pretty drowned by the time we arrived. In fact a few days before we left, a shop owner pointed out that Nellie was “illegal!” Astonished, I asked “Why?”… He was right, Nellie was so dirty with all the spray, mud and debris off the roads, that you couldn’t see her number plate. Well I am pleased to say that she has had a wash and there should be NO policeman knocking on our door! Anyway, the journey back from Hull was far more pleasant and I just had to show you our panorama view of Nellie under the magnificent Humber Bridge. Back to ‘sunny’ Dorset and last weekend we went on a Geo Cache. If you have never done a Geo Cache before and like walking, exploring sights you may not have seen previously,
01929 408080
I highly recommend it. It is free! All you need to do is go online to www. geocaching.com. It is a “real world treasure hunt” and there are literally hundreds of walks with a purpose…to find the hidden “treasure”. The hidden treasure is actually a box of odds and ends that walkers have added, which you can take and replace with some thing else. There is often a list of all the ‘geo cachers’ who have done the same hunt which you can add your details to. The way you find the hidden treasure is by use of a GPS device which you can buy, or indeed find an app on your phone. Once you have printed out the Geo Cache that you want to do, there are lots of clues which you use to discover the coordinates and thus find the trail to the treasure. It is ideal for youngsters who would otherwise complain about a ‘boring old walk’ and basically make your life a misery whilst you try and enjoy the fresh country or
29 said it was the middle of February and I hadn’t thought of that. Following the coordinates from the clues given, the Geo Cache took us over the fields with three wonderful Shire horses (not to be messed with, I could see…) and great views across the River Stour and the Priory at Christchurch. We would never have taken this route, or discovered it at all without having looked on line for a Geo Cache. A couple of the clues were a little tricky but we found the treasure! The tree was lying in a pool of water and Hayden and Stephen had fun doing ‘a tight rope walk’ to get to the buried treasure box. Victory! The first clue... seaside air and the views. Everyone wins! It is exciting, it can be competitive, and it gets you outside. Saturday was a beautiful day and Nellie chose to take us to Hengistbury Head. The Geo Cache took us along the river behind the golf course. Protected here from the wind, it really was very warm. Hayden, knowing we were near the sea and being a keen swimmer himself, announced disappointedly, “Oh Mum, you didn’t bring the swimmers!” I laughed and
The ‘tightrope walk’ - treasure found!

Finder’s reward We followed the trail back past the golf course, had a much appreciated and rather large ice cream reward, a cup of coffee in Nellie and a final brisk walk along the wonderful coastline. Once we were back on the cliff top with a very cold sea breeze, though a gorgeously bright day, I think Hayden forgot about the “swimmers”! A really pleasant day was had by all and we do recommend trying a geocache. Where will Nellie go next…? By Debbie Corney whereisnellie

Vdub At The Pub Festival 2014
Friday 16th May – Sunday 18th May 2014 – Wimborne, Dorset 2014’s Vdub At The Pub Festival promises to be bigger and better than ever before, with a great new line-up of live music, acoustic artists and live DJ’s. We will of course be bringing back our ever popular Show & Shine competition, with this year’s classes including: Best Beatle, Best Type 2 Bay, Best Split, Best Type 25 Air & Water, Best Type 4 Van, Best Newie, Best Golf/Polo, Best Other, Best Paint, Best Rat and Best Overall, for our Volkswagen lovers to show off their wheels. Our line-up of music this year will see the return of Vdub veteran Si Genaro, (recently becoming a national personality after his quirky performance on BBC’s The VoiceUK) Saturday Sun, (in January being listed as one of The Guardian’s new band of the day) and The Crematics, (having previously supported the likes of Bastille and The Rizzle Kicks) just to name a few. As well as live music all weekend, we are kicking off the show this year with Friday night’s DJ night, where 2014 Vdub festivals goers can start their weekend by dancing the night away. The first Vdub at the Pub took place back in 2008 at Drusilla’s Inn in Dorset and was the first time the festivals creator John had combined engines, beer and live music. Dubbers came from far and wide to Drusilla’s Inn for 2 years before the numbers grew so high that it was time to find a larger show ground. In 2010 Vdub moved to the grounds of Wimborne Town Football Club, where it still runs today. Last year’s festival was a 3 day event, catering for everybody’s needs, with live music all weekend, DJ’s playing into the night and local Brewery Dorset Piddle Beer holding a mini beer Festival in the live music tent. We also had the Dorset Stormtroopers in attendance all weekend entertaining the crowds. We sold out our camping spaces a week before the festival and with the help of local land owners we managed to increase our camping facilities and open and second camping field for the second year running! The 2014 show will be our best yet. We hope to see you there!

What’s On
21-24
August Having recently retained its title as the UK’s Best Countryside Festival at the Fatea Music Awards, Purbeck Folk Festival is girding its loins to return for its sixth year, lining up four days of folk, food, film, fancy dress and fun. Having previously attracted the likes of KT Tunstall, Show of Hands, The Carrivick Sisters and Karine Polwart, the Festival will again run over the Bank Holiday weekend of 21-24 August at Wilkswood Farm, a working sheep farm in Langton Matravers at the heart of the beautiful Isle of Purbeck. “Purbeck Folk Festival is the best kept secret in Dorset,” says organiser Michael Callaghan. “We’re small, but perfectly formed, the way festivals used to be. Don’t be deceived though, we punch way above our weight and this year’s line up will only cement Purbeck Folk Festival’s position as a cornerstone of the summer music festival circuit.” The Festival takes a broad and inclusive view of the acoustic spectrum to ensure an eclectic mix of outstanding, original young folk, established roots, traditional and world music in a fun, familyfriendly environment. The four stages are contained in the farm’s ingeniously converted barns and a marquee venue that hosts the Purbeck Rising final and open mic sessions. In addition to the music there’s a host of extra entertainment on offer including a comedy line-up, an on-site cinema, a fancy dress parade, art workshops, a poetry slam and a beer festival with

2014
40 local real ales, 20 ciders and even a Dorset pils lager! And not forgetting the annual beardoff, with prizes awarded for the biggest, best and most creative facial hair! Younger festival goers will find plenty to do in the kids’ activity pen including circus skills, magic shows, balloon modelling, face painting and street (well, field!) theatre. Weekend tickets (Fri-Sun) include free camping are on sale now at just £80 (£40 12-17 years, £10 4-11 years, under 4s free). Day camping is available on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday at £10 a night on arrival. A limited number of Festival day tickets will also be available. Wilkswood Farm has 600 acres of land devoted to conservation and environmental protection of a wide range of habitats.

March Performances
Artsreach have two fantastic shows to tell you about this month!
Jamie Smith’s MABON Wed 19 March, 7:30pm. Langton Matravers Village Hall. 01929 423834 Jamie Smith’s MABON are among the UK’s foremost and finest exponents of original, inter-Celtic music. Vocals, accordion, fiddle, bouzouki, bass and drums are subtly exploited by five dynamic, accomplished musicians, working traditional forms and styles anew in songs and melodies by composer Jamie Smith. The energetic sound of jigs and reels; or a graceful mazurka, an ecstatic muiñera; a haunting Welsh-language love-song or a driving, sing-along, fantasy epic – all are given the same refreshing, creative treatment as the band dances skilfully along the borders between Celtic heritage and contemporary sound. “A fearsome reputation as a live band” - Financial Times
Leon Hunt n-Tet Sun 30 March, 7:30pm. Studland Village Hall. 01929 450204 Renowned 5-string banjo player Leon Hunt has played alongside some of the world’s top musicians. Joined by superb bluegrass guitarist Jason Titley, bassist/vocalist Ben Somers and Joe Hymas on Mandolin, The Leon Hunt n-tet, are a traditional bluegrass band, and this spring, tour to Dorset to present tracks from their debut album ‘Farewell Blues: Remembering Earl Scruggs’ - the architect of the bluegrass banjo style.

Faith Healer
It takes listening to precisely fi ve seconds of Paloma Faith’s comeback single to realise that you are already in the company of one of the best pop tracks that you are going to hear all year. By the time it gets to the chorus of Can’t Rely on You, with its defiant stomp and backing vocals from the songs’ creator, hit-maker-in-chief Pharrell Williams, it also becomes patently clear that Faith, reinvigorated and buoyant, is set to enjoy a bumper year. Can’t Rely on You is the lead track of her forthcoming third album A Perfect Contradiction, and her best yet: as equally upbeat and sassy as it is soulful, and with a positivity that’s impossible to resist. The inspiration, Faith says, came from not wanting to make a record as downbeat as its predecessor Fall to Grace, which documented failed relationships to mostly melancholy, ballad-like fare. “When I was touring the last album I got a bit bored of being upset,” Faith says. “I think sometimes when you write sad songs you write them in a moment when it’s like therapy, but then when you’re singing them 18 months later it’s like picking off a scab. This time I knew I needed to inject some hope. There’s some heartache, but it’s got a hopeful vibe to it. And I’ve returned to my soul roots, working with people I’ve admired for a long time.”
01929 408080
A Perfect Contradiction is an evocative title - where did that come from? “I mean perfect contradiction in terms of the last album, because that was melancholic, but also in everyday life. You can’t have real joy without real sadness. It extends to a conversation I had with Pharrell. He was asking me about myself and I said I feel an affinity with people who are a perfect mix of contradictions. And he said ‘do you think you are?’ and I said ‘yeah’ and then he told me I should call my album that. I went home and mulled it over; I decided it was a really good title, because it meant a lot of things. It’s to do with accepting difference within ourselves as well as other people and our experiences.” Faith worked with a host of names on A Perfect Contradiction (Raphael Saadiq, John Legend, Diane Warren) but it is inevitably the collaboration with Pharrell that is of most intrigue. “He approached me at a party to work
41 with me and we wrote a couple of songs together, and as we got to know each other through that time he said that he had this song that he’d written that he’d been sitting on for ages. He said he thought it would suit me, and did I want to hear it. I was like ‘of course’, and I loved it. It totally has my name on it. “Pharrell is very nice, humble, and so likeable. He works very hard and throws a lot away, because he only wants the best to come out.” He is certainly is a happy fellow, and the go-to man for a smash hit, isn’t he? “Yes, but you want to hear the ones that don’t make it, though!” Faith is arguably as well known for her sense of style than she is for her music, and her appearance is a vital component of the entire songstress/ fashion icon package. “For as long as I can remember I’ve had it drummed into me that presentation is important. My family is full of women who really make an effort. I’ve never been around people who just wear jeans and t-shirt. “In fact, the other day I was walking around Brick Lane with my mum, my aunt and my cousin. This girl came up and said ‘you four look like brilliantly dressed women; can I take a picture for
my art project?’ She later wrote to me on Twitter later to say ‘sorry, I had no idea it was you!’ It was so funny.” But getting stopped in the street was partly what made Faith head across the Atlantic to make A Perfect Contradiction. “I do get stopped a lot – it’s flattering but it’s difficult to detach yourself. Ultimately, I wanted to write an album that was down to earth and about real issues, and I didn’t feel that my life was conducive to that over here. It’s not a realistic lifestyle to have being stopped by people all the time; it doesn’t promote a realistic attitude of life. People can’t relate to it.” After A Perfect Contradiction hits the shops in March, Faith says she can’t wait to get on the road and reinterpret the new songs for a live audience. “We haven’t planned it yet but we’ll hopefully be touring towards the end of the year. I am looking forward to going out and touring it - it’s a musician’s album. My band love it; they can’t wait to show off, and nor can I!” Shaun Curran Paloma Faith’s new album A Perfect Contradiction is out March 10th, on RCA Records.

PLOT
Gardening
Now is the time to go undercover
It’s still pretty chilly during February but planting seedlings under glass (or plastic) can give you a great start for the season ahead. A bit of time and money invested now in a polytunnel or greenhouse will give you benefits for years to come. Can’t wait for Spring to come? There’s plenty of vegetables that can be started off indoors now. Jobs for February:Erect a cold frame, polytunnel or greenhouse. Plant out onion sets Sow tomatoes indoors Chit seed potatoes Sow early beetroot and summer cabbages Plant soft fruit bushes
The days are getting a little longer, green shoots are starting to appear and we’re all just itching to get out in the garden now. Just one problem it’s still likely to be blooming cold!
With both greenhouses and polytunnels you need to remember that they can become very hot in the summer and ensure that adequate ventilation is available.
Extremes in weather are typical for this month so even if we do have a warmer spell I wouldn’t be in too much of a hurry to start sowing seeds outdoors. It’s at this time of year that having some undercover growing space is a real boon - not least because it’s so much more of a pleasure working in a protected environment, basking in the glory of those few rays of sun, than it is feeling a gale force wind that seems as it if’s come straight from the arctic! If you don’t have a greenhouse, polytunnel or cold frame then why not think about investing in one now? Get it built in February and you can get a head start on many plants for the season to come.
So, now that you have this great new space what can you plant in it? Early tomatoes can be started off in pots and if you plant some summer cabbages now you can get them established and benefit from a crop by late spring or early summer. Cucumbers, beetroot, leeks and lettuces can also be sown indoors and if you want to try something a little more exotic why not plant some peppers, aubergines and even a melon?
Which is best? Consider the space available - if space is limited then a cold frame, may be a good option. Green houses can offer lots of benefits but are generally not a great idea if your garden is also the kids play area and they can be hugely expensive. On the plus side, they are not easy to get rid of so if you’re prepared for a bit of work you may be able to pick up a second-hand one very cheaply providing you are happy to dismantle and move it yourself (try free cycle). We opted for a polytunnel, which was very reasonable in price and gave us several weekends of entertainment building it. Follow the instructions carefully, don’t rush it and you’ll need at least 2 of you when it comes to putting the plastic on.
01929 408080
This is also a good month to think about soft fruit . Most fruit bushes, trees and canes need time to get established before you start to get a good yield and it is easy to overlook them in favour of crops that give a quicker return. If you don’t have any fruit growing on your plot how about adding just one type of fruit each year? You could plant raspberry canes this month, or incorporate a gooseberry or blackcurrant bush into your border. If you have pot grown strawberries that have spent the winter indoors then place them outside as they will only flower after exposure to cold weather. Plants that have over wintered outside can be brought in now.
