Dear Bournemouth residents,

Introduction

The Bournemouth Directory -

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 Directories 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 Linda Miles. Well done! Will it be you this month?

I do hope so.

Here’s to a jolly month of June. Wishing you well,

Debbie & Stephen Corney

A Helping Hand in a Digital World My career in I.T. started 20 years ago at Granada Home Technology, demonstrating PCs and the first digital TVs. Even then I saw a problem – whilst there are many happy to sell you new technology, there are very few who are willing or able to teach you how to use it effectively.

Since then I’ve gained much experience in teaching technology to various ability levels, from first time users through to I.T. professionals.

Now I am offering my training services to people who need to master the growing amount of technology they have in their homes.

Whether you need advice on buying something new or instruction on what you already have, I can help you get the best out of your phone, computer, TV, Hi-Fi, camera, in-car devices... in fact any technology you have!

Give me a call today for a no-obligation chat about your needs.

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.

To advertise in The Bournemouth Directory, please call: 01202 894397

9 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.”

But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps.

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

Keep your sink sparkling...

As warmer weather approaches, our location is enviable. Our proximity to the historic beauty of the New Forest and the coast makes living in a hard water area a small price to pay. Nevertheless, it is a nuisance, and the mineral deposits from our water lead to a build-up of limescale that can wreak havoc on our homes, especially our kitchen appliances and sinks. As there is no better time than spring to rejuvenate your home, we would like to offer some advice to help banish this household pest.

It can be tempting to use the all-singing-alldancing cleaning products available, and whilst these can leave chrome and stainless-steel gleaming, they can be detrimental in the long run. You’re best sticking to a mild acid, such as white vinegar or lemon juice. Cover the affected areas in either substance and leave to stand for at least one hour before washing away with water and rubbing stains with a sponge. For taps, soak a cloth in lemon juice and wrap it around so the neck stays immersed, then secure one half of the

squeezed lemon to the head (although this isn’t recommended for a plated tap, like gold.) Leave again for about an hour and wash away. If stains persist, you can use baking powder as a nonabrasive alternative to harsher cleaners. Vinegar can also be put through your appliances to treat the hidden, insidious effects of limescale that can affect their performance.

Once your sink is back in shape, regular maintenance is key. Clean with warm soapy water and a sponge, then take a few seconds to wipe down your sink and tap after use to prevent stains. Our colleagues over at sink and tap specialist, Franke, also advise against the use of plastic washing up bowls, as these work to dull the surface of your sink over time.

If, however, merely looking at your limescale afflicted sink is enough to fill you with dread, we are on hand, and offer a sink changeover service as a cost-effective option for breathing new life into your kitchen. Speak to our design conscious staff in either of our showrooms today.

SAFER DRIVING IDEAS DASH CAM

Fully Fitted from only

£65

with this voucher

If you’re a safe, conscientious driver, a dash cam helps protect your no-claims bonus, as well as guarding against dangerous drivers, road rage incidents, ‘crash-for-cash’ scams. Already fitted in over 3 million UK vehicles Motabitz can now offer a Fully Fitted service making this worthwhile addition to your driving an easy no fuss option.

For as little as £65 we will supply and hard wire fit (no wires trailing or blocking your cigarette lighter) a Ring Automotive Dash Cam into your car. We’ll advise on location, show you fully how it works and the model supplied has the following features:• The 120° degree lens captures the action - providing evidence if there is an accident, reducing your risk of insurance fraud, and, in some cases, even cutting down your insurance costs.

• The device automatically turns itself on when you start your car, and off again when you stop the engine – meaning it won’t drain your battery once you’ve parked up.

• Loop recording continuously captures footage, overwriting old files with no manual changes to make.

No need to worry about important files though – you can choose to lock the ones you want to keep.

You will need an SD card for storage of the footage. We can supply if you don’t have one.

We also offer more sophisticated models with viewing screens, parked recording initiated by movement or models with excellent night time recording modes. Just ask us. Our team really are here to help.

REVERSING SENSORS

Parking has become increasingly more difficult and if you have never experienced the joy of parking sensors fitted to the rear of your car you don’t know what your missing. They really help provide an easier parking solution, improve peace of mind and help get you parked safely. They do come with an irritating beep though!

For as little as £99 we will supply and fit 4 reversing sensors to the rear bumper of your car and provide an audible warning as objects approach. The audible warning beeps get faster the closer you are to an object. We also offer options to colour code the black sensors to the colour of your car and models with both visual and audible warnings.

Talk to us as some vehicles are more complicated to fit but we always give a fully fitted price and stick to it before we start any work.

Adventures of Nellie

26

The Adventures of Nellie The Dorset Directories 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

27 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…?

Former Bournemouth & Poole College student achieves dream job as Virgin Atlantic cabin crew A former Bournemouth & Poole College student has travelled to more than 20 destinations since achieving her dream job as Virgin Atlantic cabin crew.

Rebekah Coppard, 25, studied the Diploma in Air Cabin Crew at the College, which provides people with the relevant skills and qualifications to pursue a career within the airline industry and other hospitality industries such as cruise lines and luxury trains.

During the course, Rebekah took on parttime retail work to boost her customer service experience, and after leaving the College, she worked with an airline flying out of Bournemouth. Rebekah then worked for Virgin Atlantic, where she has been promoted to cabin service supervisor. Since leaving the College, Rebekah has visited more than 20 holiday destinations including Antigua, New York, Dubai and Hong Kong.

Rebekah said: “Overall, I believe that going to the College was the best decision that I could have made as it gave me the best possible start to my flying career.

“We took part in regular practical exercises on safety and service at the College, which really helped me during the training process at Virgin Atlantic. We also worked in the Escoffier restaurant once a week, where I learnt how to serve food and drink, which has given me the skills required when serving in the upper class cabin.”

Rebekah’s advice to anyone hoping to follow her career path is focus on gaining customer service skills, which Virgin Atlantic keep to a high standard. She said that her work as cabin crew is incredibly rewarding because every day she meets different customers and crew while travelling across the globe.

Judith Grandjean, learning manager for hospitality and tourism at the College, said: “We are so pleased to hear how well Rebekah has done since leaving Bournemouth & Poole College. It is testament to all of our students that they can achieve the career of their dreams if they put in the hard work.

“We work closely with a number of companies at the College, to ensure that we are teaching students the relevant skills needed to succeed in a range of careers within the travel and tourism industry. We have a high success rate of securing jobs for our students with recognisable airlines such as Virgin Atlantic, TUI and British Airways.”

Bournemouth & Poole College offers a range of courses within the travel and tourism department, including the Diploma in Cabin Crew & Airport Operations, Diploma in Hospitality & Events, and a BTEC Extended Diploma in Travel and Tourism. As a Swissport Academy, the College works with global ground handling agents for airports all around the world.

For more information about the travel and tourism courses offered at the College please visit www.thecollege.co.uk/tourism or call 01202 205205.

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
