We had such a good time at the Bournemouth Air Show at the end of August! Hayden very excitedly told Nellie (now off the road totally after her really unfortunate accident) all about it, so do have a read. The Red Arrows pilots are so skilled. Goodness knows how Nellie would have reacted had she been able to meet them! Daichi, the Dashing Dude, the new Purbeck Publications Campervan should be with us soon and we are really looking forward to him taking us out again! Watch this space as they sayâ€Ś

Community News

News from Westminster If you’ve read the newspapers recently you might think that politicians are only concerned about Brexit. This is not the case! Someone recently asked why politicians don’t stand up more for families, pointing out that as a British teenager you are more likely to own a smartphone than live with both parents. Perhaps some politicians do feel nervous speaking about the family. Maybe they are concerned that their enthusiasm for the family will be mistaken for an attack on single parents, many of whom work extremely hard to bring up their children. However, family life is too critical a topic to steer away from. It is vital that as a society, and indeed as a Government, we commit to strengthening and supporting parents. Especially when we remember that government accepts that family breakdown is a key driver of future poverty. I feel incredibly privileged that I have a strong and loving family –both my close family in Dorset, and in my wider extended family. Stronger families are vital for social mobility. The stability which they provide gives children the security that they need, which in turn helps to safeguard their mental and physical health, and by extension their behaviour and academic achievement. Just look at the life chances of children in care, and of care leavers. Statistics show that care leavers are more likely to get into trouble with the police, and to be at risk of poor educational outcomes, unemployment, homelessness, drug and alcohol abuse, and mental health issues. But it is not simply the statistics that we must change. It is the life chances of these children, and it is incumbent on everyone to ensure that those who have had the most difficult starts in life should still have the opportunity to flourish and fulfil their potential. There is no ‘one size fits all’ solution, and we must seek to provide a nurturing environment in which families can flourish, whilst at the same time acknowledging that no two families are the same. Whatever the make-up of an individual family, we should be enabling

children to reach their full potential as they grow to adulthood and actively participate in their communities and society at large. After all, what do most people want? A secure home. A job. A family. A sense of community and belonging. Good schools for our children and opportunities for the next generation. And there is such a thing as society. It starts with the family, which has been throughout history and remains the core unit in every society on earth. Politicians of all stripes should stand up for the family, which is there to pick up the pieces when things go wrong, and to celebrate when things go well. That is why the Government should focus on policies which promote family life, to ensure that every department is supporting families and strengthening our communities. 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.

Notes from...

WarehamTown Museum People travelling to Wareham by road this year will probably have noticed a small railway waggon placed in the middle of the roundabout in Northport. Looking closer itâ€™s possible to see itâ€™s securely mounted on a short length of track and next to it is a pneumatic spade. This waggon is more properly called a mine tub and it has been placed here to mark the important local clay mining industry. This one was originally used to carry clay underground, when clay was dug in mines. They were pushed by hand through the underground tunnels and usually winched up an incline to the surface. The pneumatic spade displayed next to it was used to cut the clay from the face. The tub has been restored by Mr P. Andrews and the display has been arranged by Cllr. Eric Osmond and Wareham in Bloom. Many other items from the clay industry are displayed locally. In Wareham Museum we have a display about the Sandford potteries, together with a model of Middlebere Quay, made in 2006 to mark the bi-centenary of the opening of the Middlebere Plateway in 1806 (see photo). This was the first railway in

Dorset, built to carry clay from pits at Norden to the quay on Poole Harbour for onward movement by boat. The Blue Pool, itself a former clay pit, has a display of tools, models and clay products. At Norden the Purbeck Mineral and Mining Museum has painstakingly re-erected a mine building from Norden complete with attached tunnel and a large collection of exhibits including the restored narrow gauge railway. Of course the local clay industry is very much alive and the blue painted lorries carry clay from Trigon past the Northport roundabout all day. Nowadays the clay is won from open quarries; next year will mark 20 years since the end of underground mining in 1999. Wareham Town Museum tells the story of the Wareham area from prehistoric times to the present day. The museum is open Monday to Saturday, 10am to 4pm, until the end of October. Entrance is free. It is run by volunteers and there are lots of opportunities to get involved; if you would like to help, contact us via our website www.wtm.org.uk or Facebook page, or call in.

Wildlife News

Talking about Wildlife... Red Squirrel Adoptions Red Squirrels are in need of help, so this autumn, treat yourself or a loved one to a special wildlife gift with a Dorset Wildlife Trust wildlife adoption. This time of year, the red squirrel can be seen scurrying around the woodland floor collecting nuts for winter and jumping between trees on Brownsea Island, in Poole Harbour, Dorset. The popular red squirrel, a native species, has been in decline for many years, but Brownsea Island, owned by the National Trust, is proud to give a home to a population of 200 of these enchanting creatures. The island is one of the few safe havens for the reds in the South West. They can be seen by visitors for most of the year but are particularly active during the autumn as they prepare for winter. It’s the perfect time of year

to make a daytrip to the beautiful nature reserve, managed by Dorset Wildlife Trust (DWT) on Brownsea Island. By adopting a red squirrel for just £20, DWT can help ensure that the habitat which is so important for their survival on the island is maintained and managed for many years to come. Adopting a red squirrel this autumn for £20 each, will not only make a unique and wonderful gift for yourself or a loved one, but will contributing to conservation work in Dorset. Each pack comes with an adoption certificate, soft toy, pin badge and information about the species.

Forest Holme to mark Hospice Care Week with ‘Heart My Hospice’ campaign Forest Holme Hospice, part of Poole Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, will be once again joining forces with more than 100 other hospices across the UK to help raise public awareness about hospice care during this year’s Hospice Care Week (8-12 October). The chosen theme of this year’s event is ‘Heart My Hospice’ and Forest Holme will be asking the local community to share their experiences of what hospice care means to them and help increase awareness about the range of care available in different settings. Forest Holme provides palliative and end-of-life care both within the Poole-based hospice itself and out in the community across a widegeographical area covering Poole, Wimborne and the Isle of Purbeck. However, as Anne Currie, Forest Holme Hospice Charity Manager, explains, it is the diversity of hospice care on offer at Forest Holme and how the charity helps to fund it, that they are particularly keen to focus on. “Forest Holme doesn’t just care for patients”, Anne begins, “it ensures that it is there for their loved ones too. Although Forest Holme is an NHS hospice, it is reliant on charitable donations to ensure that it can continue to provide

the best possible care for patients when they need us most. The charity supports all aspects of the hospice including; the 12 bedded in-patient ward, the purchasing of specialist equipment, the funding of educational posts, development nurse posts, complementary therapies, plus counselling and bereavement support to patients and their families.” One person, who has first-hand experience of the extended care Forest Holme offers to family and loved-ones, is 24-year-old Sammy-Jo Stanley, who has subsequently helped raise nearly £9,000 for the hospice as a thank you. She said, “Forest Holme is an incredible hospice, with such caring and kind people who are understanding and supportive when you are going through such a difficult time. Forest Holme for me was a place I first turned to when my Nan passed away from cancer in October 2009. At 15 I really needed guidance on how to deal with the grief and the hospice counselling team pulled me through, helping me to come to terms with the grief process. Also, their outstanding care when my mum was diagnosed with cancer was incredible and, once again, their counselling service provided both

support to my family and myself. This hospice touches many people’s lives at such a devastating time in life and their support and kindness always shines through.” Forest Holme, who will be celebrating its 25th anniversary next year, will be using Hospice Care Week to help spread the word about the range of services that they provide for both patients and their loved-ones, as well as highlighting that hospice care is free and not confined to a building but also available at home through its own community nurses.

Charity Manager, Anne Currie, said, “We are delighted to support this national awareness-raising drive. We want to use it to help spread the word about hospice care and what it encompasses, while also dispelling some of the myths surrounding it. “We will also be encouraging our supporters to share their stories, experiences and memories of hospice care, especially through social media using the hashtag #IHeartForestHolme.”

Adventures of Nellie

The Adventures of Nellie The Purbeck Publications Camper Van Hayden went to see Nellie, The Purbeck Publications Campervan who had an accident a few months ago. She is now at the Old Van’s Home and like all good Grandparents she was keen to find out what her 14 year old ‘grandson’ had been up to over the summer. Hayden was very excited to tell her… “Well Nellie, I got to interview Red 10 at the Bournemouth Air Show!” He exclaimed with a big grin, nearly as big as Nellie’s silver shine. “I got to do this because I was asked by the Blue Skies Team. Blue Skies is a programme to help young people with their communication and leadership skills organised by the Jon Egging Trust. The Blue Skies Programme has helped me build up my confidence.” Hayden continued, “Before I was shy in asking people things, but now I have more self-confidence to talk to people: even those I don’t know, like Red 10!” The interview went like this… Hayden - What is your role within the Red Arrows Team? Adam (Red 10) - I’m the supervisor of the team. In the winter workout period I am the supervisor of the practices, looking at the display patterns and liaising with the authorities about the displays we are putting together. During the summer display season, I

Hayden gets interviewed himself

Hayden and Squadron Leader Adam Collins am on the road with the team flying the spare aircraft and then supervising the displays and commentating about the displays. Hayden - What motivated you to work with the Red Arrows? Adam - It’s a unique opportunity and a unique job that when the opportunity came to apply for it, I couldn’t really turn it down. When the Red 10 job came up it was something that really appealed to me. That is why I am doing it. Hayden - What’s the best thing about being a Red Arrow? Adam - It is such a variety of things that we do. We have had such good weather this year, so we have done lots of full shows. I love meeting the public (like you to be honest) and the commentary. It is an honour to be the face of the RAF and also representing Great Britain when we go overseas. It is a unique job. Hayden - What is most challenging thing about being a Red? Adam - The variety, as we are constantly going from one thing to another. This weekend for example we have 5 or 6 Displays up and down the country so we are on a very tight timeline between displays. We do PR and media bits in between and it is really finding that balance

29 to do everything to the standards that we expect of ourselves, being able to switch from task to task and then to focus on it. It is quite tiring, you just have to manage that carefully, but really the best bits are the hardest bits as well. It really is one of the roles that is unique, you are always working hard, but it is always rewarding. Hayden – What has been your favourite time with the team? Adam – This is my first season so the whole season for me has been amazing and I shadowed my previous predecessor for couple of months last season. But really going to events like this, it is the reaction of the crowd when the jets arrive, and we start the display. It is that feedback from the crowd that is the real buzz. Hayden - What would you say to someone aspiring to be a Red Arrow pilot? Adam - I’d say to them that we all started somewhere. One of the aims of our RAF 100 this year is to inspire the next generation and really with our Shows that is what we are trying to do. All of us at the Red Arrows were at school once. We went to college or university, we did exams, we were doing revision and that kind of thing and it really is a step by step approach to then join the Air Force and go through flying training and ultimately join the Red Arrows, so my message really would be just to work hard and take it one step at a time. We all made it, so there is no reason why anyone else can’t!

Hayden – For my last question, what would you say to a young person who is struggling, to be the best they can be? Adam – Really it is that message that we have all started somewhere, we have all struggled at some point, be it through school or through education or going along through training and flying training. Keep persevering, take it one step at a time and all of sudden through struggling through something it becomes a great success. You are not going to get there instantly, so it is just working your way through it and having the right attitude, working hard and then eventually you will get there. Thank you. Great to meet you! Hayden turned back to Nellie, “Once I interviewed Red 10, I then got interviewed on the interview, by Bournemouth Air TV! It was quite a surprise. It made me really use all the skills I have learned from Blue Skies and I think I did ok, considering I wasn’t warned! Finally, I also got to meet the rest of the Red Arrows and other display teams. “I even had my photo taken with the pretty Wingwalkers (Nellie raised her wiper), as well as the Tiger’s Parachute Display Team from the British Army, Sally B’s pilots, the stunt pilot Rich Goodwin, the Strikemaster Pair and the new Team Raven were all there. How exciting was all that!” Nellie was super impressed with Hayden’s recitings and she hopes you had a great summer too! By Debbie Corney

Battle’s Over

‘Battle’s over’ … the haunting tune, played by a lone piper at the end of WW1 on 11 November 1918, signalled the silencing of the guns and the world breathed a huge sigh of relief. That’s how the 11th of November this year will remember the centenary of Armistice. Thousands of Pipe Bands all over the country will play this poignant tune at 6 am on that morning. It will be an amazing and evocative event. Throughout the country, acts of remembrance will take place to recall this extra special Armistice Day – Remembrance Services in churches throughout the land, parades and memories, celebrations and silence, Veterans and children – everyone has a part to play and the town of Swanage will be no exception. At the end of day when darkness has fallen, 1000 Beacons will be lit around the country to celebrate that the darkness of war is over. Swanage’s beacon will be lit at 7pm up on Ballard Down for the whole town to see. But the Act of Remembrance will not be just for one day in Swanage … from 1 to 11 November, there will be a whole range of events to remind us – posters displayed in shop windows with the name of one of the 99 soldiers who lost their lives in the two World Wars, quizzes, craft events, history displays and recollections, concerts, and much more. Silhouettes of ‘Silent Soldiers’ will grace the town and hopefully, houses, churches and public buildings will be lit up with red and white

lights. Emmanuel Church in Victoria Avenue will be hosting a Poppy Exhibition – an evocative display of art and craft work, poetry, photographs and memories. If you want to be a part of this and would like to place a piece of Poppy Art at the Exhibition, get in touch – 01929 427706 or email events@emmanuelbc.org.uk. The Exhibition will be open from 10-4 from Thursday 8 to Saturday 10 November. There will also be an afternoon tea and Sing-along with wartime songs with afternoon tea a la Ritz. But what can YOU do to be involved? You can get in touch and tell us your family history story of grandparents and great grandparents who fought in the war; you can support each and every event – a brochure will be published nearer the time giving details of everything happening; you could give the cause financial support and sponsor an event but most of all, you can spread the word around the town and let everyone know that Swanage will never forget. For more details or to offer help, contact Swanage British Legion – Frank Roberts, frank@herstoncross.co.uk

Wills, Estate Planning and Lasting Power of Attorneys We discuss legal professionals’ and the benefits of home visits to clients. We are often asked what is the advantage of using a member of the Society of Will Writers and Estate Planning Practitioners (SWW) over a more conventional solicitor? There are many good reasons. Members of SWW are trained specialists in the field of will writing and estate planning. All are fully insured, regulated and adhere to the SWW code of practice. After all if you contracted a serious illness you wouldn’t be treated by your GP you would be referred to a specialist. The same applies when you are deciding how best to manage all the things you have worked so hard for during your lifetime. Will writers also provide clients with convenience by attending them in their own home, more often than not at evenings and weekends when both parties (if a couple) can be available.

The SWW is coming up to its 25th anniversary and has always stressed to its members the importance of dealing with vulnerable, elderly and single clients in their own home. Taking instructions in the privacy and seclusion of the client’s home is not only about convenience. Without such a service many people who need a Will and Lasting Power of Attorney’s would go without if they were housebound, elderly or frail.. As a member of The Society of Will Writers and Estate Planning Practitioners, Dorset Wills has a totally transparent pricing policy. We offer various packages to make the whole process of getting your affairs in order both simple and cost effective. It is estimated that 67 % of people in the UK do not have a Will or Lasting Power of Attorney’s in place. With almost 1 million people living with dementia and the total growing yearly, perhaps now is the time to call Dorset Wills on 01202 065953.

Gardening Tips

a beginnerâ€™s

GUIDE Ponds

If you are lucky enough to have a pond, large or small, at this time of year check all the pond plants and remove all dead and dying growth.

If you have a pump to run a fountain or waterfall, now is the time to clean and service it and store it until Spring. Feed the fish before Winter hibernation.

Cover the pond with netting to stop leaves from falling into the water and sinking to the bottom. Too much rotting vegetation in the water will create methane gas to the detriment of fish and other wildlife as well as a disgusting, smelly layer of sludge in the bottom that you will have to deal with, sooner or later!

If we have a severe winter, be ready to cover the pond completely during really freezing weather, or at least try to ensure fish can get oxygen by keeping a small area ice-free by using a ball or floating bowl. If the pond is covered with a sheet of ice, pour boiling water into the bowl until it can be lifted out.

In early Autumn, if you have clumps of marginal and bog plants, they can be divided and cut back the leaves of waterside plants.

Having said all that, I've actually seen goldfish frozen in solid ice for weeks, only to start swimming around perfectly happily when they thawed out - so what do I know?!

Artsreach reveal an exciting season of music, dance, and theatre to connect rural Dorset with the arts

Passionate about connecting communities across rural Dorset with professional arts experiences, the team at Artsreach are excited to reveal their brand new Autumn Programme. Audiences can expect a high quality depth and breadth of events, with over 70 performances from 28 exciting companies and performers set to take place in village halls, churches, libraries and other community spaces right across Dorset before Christmas. Music lovers can enjoy a real medley of styles and genres from both national and international musicians. Serbia’s leading violinist Branko Ristic returns with his trio Faith i Branko to kick off the autumn season with their original high-energy Roma/Jazz music. Featuring two Canadian Folk Award winners, My Sweet Patootie perform their vintage swing, country blues, folk, and ragtime show. Parisian old-time and blue grass trio Fierce Flowers offer sublime vocal harmonies with violin, banjo, guitar and double bass. Artsreach continue their partnership with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, bringing the Resonate Strings and Symphonic Brass ensembles to rural venues across the County. Inspired by Indian classical music and poetry, vocalist Ranjana Ghatak tours with Mercury nominated bass player Liran Donin and guitarist Jack Ross following the release of her debut album. Award-winning British jazz violinist Chris Garrick and the everpopular Budapest Café Orchestra are back with a new show packed with their distinctive gypsy folk music. Known for their sumptuous four part harmonies, Narthen include piano, accordion, fiddle and soprano sax in a heart-warming Christmas show packed with polyphonic a capella carols. Performing the very best, and

often unfamiliar, sacred, secular and consort music, Cantamus perform a programme for the advent season. The Ridgeway Singers and Band present another traditional Dorset Christmas with West Gallery Carols. Finally, eccentric folk group, The Churchfitters, interlace traditional and original festive songs and Christmas carols in their Christmas Cracker. For theatre-goers, Cornish company ‘Owdyado present a hilariously dark triple bill of riotous comedies inspired by The Twilight Zone in their new show ‘Twisted Tales. Taking inspiration from Shakespeare’s poetry and plays, Pip Utton becomes ‘the Bard’ for an entertaining romp around the life of arguably the greatest playwright of all time. Set in the winter of 1924/25 and based on true events, Poonamallee Productions tells the story Thomas Hardy’s affair of the heart with Gertrude Bugler and the jealousy it inspired in his second wife, Florence in ‘A Pure Woman’. With jarring jokes, pitiful puppetry, and the silliest of scientific songs, Living Spit are back for a raucous romp through the history of scientific stupidity in ‘Giants of Science’. To commemorate the centenary anniversary of the First World War, Artsreach offer three new theatre productions; actor Peter Gill tells of

41 war in the trenches and the struggles faced by soldiers returning to Britain post-war through the eyes of Private Tommy Atkins. State of Play Arts present a powerful new play, based on letters and other found artefacts, telling the story of two Dorset soldiers who fought in World War 1 in ‘The Gathering’. With live music, waltzing and unexpected connections, Pentabus dance across a century in ‘Crossings’. Actor Neil Gore of Townsend Productions presents an Edwardian Magic Show based on Robert Tressell’s classic novel ‘The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists’. Finally Near ta Theatre are back with ‘Christmas. Time’, a fun, festive and fantastically funny musical prison comedy! In an honest and humorous solo show, ‘Confessions of a Cockney Temple Dancer’, award-winning artist Shane Shambhu combines Indian dance and laugh-out-loud comedy to lead audiences on a journey of his life growing up in London; from unlikely dance student to international performer. Swedish company The Big Bang Gang use stories, songs and cabaret to explore how one fatal gunshot in Sarajevo started ‘The Great War’ in ‘Sarajevo Big Bang’. Thrilling, funny, powerful and poetic, Adverse Camber vividly evoke an ancient Celtic legend in ‘Dreaming the Night Field’, featuring one of Wales’ most engaging storytellers alongside exquisitely haunting live music. Two of Britain’s leading storytellers, Hugh Lupton and Nick Hennessey, sing and tell the true, harsher histories of English dissenters, tricksters and radicals in ‘The Liberty Tree – Robin Hood & other English Radicals’.

There’s plenty for families to see too, with four brilliant productions touring Dorset during the half term break and in the lead up to Christmas. Tall Tree Theatre lend their unique style of puppetry, live music and storytelling to ‘Lily & the Albatross’, a heartfelt tale about achieving the unachievable and never letting go of your childhood dreams. Featuring puppets, shadow play and projections, Clydebuilt Theatre’s ‘Dinosaur Detectives’ is packed with all the fascination, fun and conflict that surrounds the search for dinosaurs. Using traditional and contemporary puppet craft, Norwich Puppet Theatre offer a fresh, poignant twist to the much loved Brothers Grimm fairly tale, ‘The Frog & The Princess’. Finally The Last Baguette use visual storytelling, live music and puppetry to shine a light on Hans Christian Andersen’s classic winter tale ‘The Little Match Girl’. The Artsreach autumn season is once again supported by local solicitors Blanchards Bailey, as well as the Arts Council, Dorset County Council, and North, West East and Purbeck District Councils. Full details including individual box office numbers and online ticket links are on www.artsreach.co.uk. Outlets where you can pick up a copy of the programme include libraries and tourist information centres across Dorset.

Planning permission granted for new cinema at Dolphin Shopping Centre The Dolphin Shopping Centre in Poole is pleased to announce planning permission has been granted by the Borough of Poole to convert existing space into a nine-screen cinema.

The former Argos store and adjoining units will be redeveloped into a new-build, nine-screen cinema complex, complete with four adjacent casual dining restaurants. Construction work is expected to start later this year. Empire Cinemas has signed a 25-year lease to operate what will be the first multiplex in the town centre, with one of the nine screens being open-air on the rooftop, giving a memorable experience for residents and holidaymakers. The cinema development is the latest announcement as part of the Dolphin’s £26 million programme of investment with Legal & General. Legal & General bought the centre in 2013 and is carrying out an 18-month improvement programme, with other changes including mall refreshes, public realm updates and new retailers. John Grinnell, centre manager at the Dolphin Shopping Centre, commented: “We’re delighted to announce that planning permission has been granted for this exciting multiplex cinema. This

latest investment will further shift the shopping centre towards a truly family-orientated offer and will help bring an element of trade that will extend into the evenings, creating a strong daytime and evening attraction for the south coast town. “The cinema, at the heart of the shopping centre, will help generate more vibrancy and appeal for the town centre as a whole and will provide significant additional amenity for visitors to the Dolphin.” Justin Ribbons, chief executive officer of Empire Cinemas, commented: “We are delighted that planning permission has been granted. Empire Cinemas is thrilled to be returning to Poole as part of this fantastic new leisure facility at the Dolphin. With nine Screens including Empire Cinemas large format, IMPACT® Screen, D-Box and our open-air, rooftop screen there really will be ‘Something For Everyone’.” The Dolphin covers 530,000 square footage with over 100 retail, restaurant and leisure brands and has an annual footfall of 11 million. The latest retailers to join the line-up include H&M, Deichmann, Smiggle and JD. For more information about the Dolphin Shopping Centre, visit: www.dolphinshoppingcentre.co.uk

Food & Drink

Tastes so good...

PULLED PORK SANDWICHES

As the temperature drops, we find ourselves wanting more easy to make, comfort food. Not only is this dish simple to create is also tastes delicious. Perfect for quiet Autumn nights in.

Ingredients for 12 servings 1 medium onion (chopped) ½ cup of ketchup ¼ cup of packed brown sugar ¼ cup of tomato paste 2tbsp. Worcestershire sauce 1/3 cup of cider vinegar 2tbp. sweet paprika 1 ½ tsp. Salt 1 ¼ tsp. ground black pepper 4lb boneless pork shoulder 12 buns or ciabatta rolls

Equipment: Large slow-cooker, large bowl, forks Method: Mix together the onion, ketchup, brown sugar, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, paprika, mustard and then add the salt and the pepper. Once you have done this, pour the sauce mixture into the slow cooker pot and add the pork, making sure to also coat it in sauce. Pop the lid on top of the slow cooker and cook the pork. Do this on a low setting (one which the manufacturer recommends). Cook until the pork is tender for between 8-10 hours. When it is finally cooked, move the pork from the slow cooker into a large bowl. Change the temperature setting on the cooker to ‘high’, cover the pot and then cook the sauce. Do this until boiling point is reached to make the mixture thicker. Pull the pork apart into shreds (you can use 2 forks for this). Then put the shredded pork back into the slow cooker, mixing it into the sauce. Cover once again and cook on high. Finally, once warmed through, spoon mixture into buns and serve.

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 Homeâ€™s registration. Please feel free to contact either of our Homeâ€™s Manager at any time to discuss how we can help or visit our website for more details.
