Dear Littledown residents!

Can you believe it is this time of year already? I must start to get myself into the Christmas swing of things. This year we are going to Oxford to Stephen’s parents so we are creating two Christmases, one in Oxford and another on my Birthday, 22nd December, to celebrate with my parents. It’s a good excuse to let our hair down!

Nellie took us to Wimborne Market last month and we became traders for the day. You can read all about that on pages 24 and 25.

The Bournemouth Directory, Littledown edition, as always is here to bring you news articles, puzzles and competitions. There are also our very loyal advertisers who would love to hear from you. Please grab a cuppa, have a read and do mention The Bournemouth Directory when making any calls and bookings. This makes a huge difference and makes all our work worth while. We have Chimney sweeps, hot tub hire, garden services, hotels, fire and security experts, residential care homes, roofers, dentists, builders, cameras wanted, unique stained glass windows, estate agents, financial advisors, oven cleaners, loft services, blinds, hearing aids, carpet and upholstery cleaners and much more! The index at the back tells you all you can find inside. The prize wordsearch last month was won by Susan Osborne. Well done to you! Do fill this in and send it off to us, as you could be the lucky winner of Panto tickets.... “Oh yes you could!”

If you know of any clubs or societies needing help in advertising, or have a local story to tell, please let us know as we provide this service for FREE! If you have a business and would like to promote, we would love to help you too, please give one of us a call.

Wishing you all a Very Merry Christmas and we will be in touch again in the New Year!

All the Best,

Debbie & Stephen Corney

Community News

It’s not Panto time is it?

Oh yes it is!

I was lucky enough to be invited to the launch of this year’s Pavilion pantomime, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. After a damp start to the morning, I was worried about the photo call with the cast, but Bournemouth brought out the sun in style.

After the photos in the gardens, I managed to catch up with some of the stars. Noel Brodie, who plays Muddles, is excited to be back again: “Playing Smee required working on the audience to win them over as his role changes through the show, whereas Muddles is much more of an extension of the audience right from the start. My father owned a fish and chip shop in Parkstone and having been in the area a lot I feel I can bring local knowledge in to influence the script.” He went on to say that working with the same production company and director really helps to bring things together.

Having previously also starred as The Fairy Godmother in the past, I asked Gillian Wright, who plays The Wicked Queen, which type of role she preferred. “I love panto because it has such a history as a genre. We are lucky... not every country has this style of production. I do rather like playing the baddie though.”

With Snow White herself, Olivia Birchenough from Channel 5’s Milkshake When I got a moment to chat to Olivia Birchenough of Channel 5’s Milkshake, who plays Snow White, I just had to ask her how she managed to be so bright and enthusiastic at that time in the morning. “An early night and a good cup of tea. I just love entertaining children and although we do not have a live audience at that time, the tour show and the reactions of kids that we meet makes it all worthwhile.”

So make sure you get your tickets for this year’s production. It is sure to be very popular!

Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile!

It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows.

The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services.

Manager Mike Bath feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps.

Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. We make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’

Cloudy2Clear service Bournemouth and the surrounding area & 0LNH LV ÀQGLQJ WKDW KLV approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth

is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense.

I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done work for, which just

goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated.’

So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Mike a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

Wildlife News

Talking about Wildlife...

Lovely Lytchett Bay Still, shimmering waters, the flash of a kingfisher, the ‘peep’ of a wading bird, the bright dazzle of a dragonfly and even the glimpse of a lizard scuttling away. Just a few of the sights and sounds of Lytchett Bay, a quiet haven for wildlife and people in a sheltered north-western corner of Poole Harbour.

The Great Heath purchase of the eastern half of Lytchett Bay, including an area of shoreline, woods and heath, has created the new Lytchett Bay Nature Reserve, owned

by Dorset Wildlife Trust and managed in partnership with Amphibian and Reptile Conservation. The reserve is one of the few places where we can still experience the natural change from heathland to marshland habitats which could once be found all round Poole Harbour. The heathland habitat here supports rare reptiles as well as rare breeding birds.

The Bay is a key site for wading birds and wildfowl, which feed on the rich invertebrate life of the sheltered mudflats.

remnant, providing a home for rare birds such as the Dartford warbler and nightjar and Britain’s rarest lizard, the sand lizard.

You can find out more about the birds at birdsofpooleharbour.co.uk or why not join one of The Great Heath’s guided events to discover the wildlife of this special place?

The reserve is now part of the Lytchett Bay Nature Park, a place for wildlife and for people to enjoy nature and bringing together landowners all around the Lytchett Bay shore.

For more information about Lytchett Bay Nature Reserve and events in The Great Heath, visit the greatheath.org or talk to Dorset Wildlife Trust on 01202 692033.

The Great Heath – working in partnership for wildlife and people.

Wildlife to look out for at Lytchett Bay nature reserve includes ospreys in spring and autumn, marsh harriers in winter and warblers, dragonflies and reptiles in summer. The heath is a small but precious

TRANSFORM YOUR, TOO COLD IN THE WINTER, CONSERVATORY Autumn is a lovely time of year, golden leaves on the trees and bright crisp days.

However, for the conservatory this does mean it may now be a little too cold to enjoy and heating it can be costly. Local company Comfort Rooms has the solution, installing their insulated ceiling will keep heat in your conservatory, so you will be able to the enjoy bright autumn days in your garden room. In summer the room will benefit too, because the system reflects heat away, helping to keep your conservatory cooler on those hot summer days.

The Comfort Rooms insulated ceiling, which fits into most existing conservatory roof structures, can keep your conservatory up to 90% warmer in winter, and up to 70% cooler in summer. The system is air tight, resistant to damp and fire retardant, it is also fully ventilated so will not suffer from condensation.

Fitting takes two to three days, so there is minimal disruption, and Comfort Rooms fitters will leave your

conservatory clean and tidy because we protect all floors and walls while working.

For those who want to transform their conservatory inside and out, Comfort Rooms also offer the SupaLite tiled roof replacement system. This is a retro fit roof system that replaces the existing roof, and with a lightweight tile finish which will give any conservatory a stunning exterior appearance.

Both of the systems offered by Comfort Rooms will transform your conservatory into a room you can use all year round.

Adventures of Nellie

The Adventures of Nellie The Dorset Directories Camper Van Nellie took us to Wimborne Market! Not very adventurous I hear you say... Well, when you have a bedroom full of boys’ toys, books, DVDs, teddy bears, electronics etc etc etc, Wimborne Market can become very exciting for an eleven year old, and Nellie was not going to disappoint him. Hayden has wanted to “sell” his old belongings for quite some time. Being a bit cautious and one of those Mums that say, “Oh you can’t sell that – Grandma bought you it!”

I thought it was time to let Hayden do what he wanted with his belongings, after all, they are his, not mine. So, I would help him try and sell some of them, then he could buy a game for his computer that he so wanted... and same ME some money! In fact it turned out to be me that paid for the stall. Stephen had said he would, but suddenly when it was time to pay on the day, Stephen didn’t have any cash with him.

Has that ever happened to you?

I’ve never really been to Wimborne Market before. It was all a bit nerve racking. Would we sell anything? Stephen had booked a stall inside, just in case it rained but we could easily have been outside as it was a beautiful day and Nellie could really

One of the packed market halls

Hayden manning his “stall” have been part of the day at the car boot section. She would have loved that! Still, we took the boxes and set up our ‘delightful’ stand. It was pretty basic actually with no table cloth or anything but “stuff” and a few home made labels stating 50p, £1 and £2, carefully placed on the right items that Hayden had worked out. So, we were ready! Being in the marketing kind of trade I told Hayden that our target market would be Grandparents who wanted toys at their house ready for the grandchildren when they visited. I couldn’t have been more right! Of course that is always the case...

Having been all nervous with an ‘out of place’ sort of feeling, we soon got into the swing of things. The first item to go was an Action Man sat on a motor bike. When the lady snapped our hand off and couldn’t get the money out quick enough to pay Hayden his £2, I knew we had under charged! Later when I looked on the internet (something we should have done BEFORE going to the market) we saw a very similar Action Man and bike for £60! This one was in good condition too. You know you can get some real bargains at Wimborne Market - I know that now!

25 We met some wonderful people. One man of over 80 told us his life story and I am hoping we cheered him up and he did have a good time at his son’s house in London the following day. Another lady found a book of the Gruffalo and very happily bought it for her 32 year old son who loves the story!

She did ask if we had any others and at the time we couldn’t see any. Half an hour later Stephen found another Gruffalo book at the bottom of the box. Hayden and I set off to see if we could find her again. Now for those who don’t know, Wimborne Market is big!

There’s everything there from bric-a-brac and antiques, to pet food, scented candles, furniture, records, jewellery, clothes, carpets, plants, fruit and veg… absolutely everything. I didn’t think we had a chance of finding her, but suddenly Hayden shouted, “There she is Mummy!” It was only at this point I realised we were doing something not very British. After all, you don’t chase people in the street to sell them something do you? Not even if it is only 50p! But, when it comes to your children you find yourself doing things, that otherwise you wouldn’t dream of. We did say “Hello” again to the lady who looked a bit shocked, but did buy the 50p book. Do you think we could we be ‘done’ for harassment? Anyway Hayden was 50p better off...and a book lighter.

I do hope the 32 year old son appreciates the books!

Nellie smiling at leaving a little lighter...

Plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables on offer Something else that was funny, or should I say embarrassing. I ordered a sausage sandwich and was given a number to present when it was ready. Number 98.

I waited, went back and the lady shouted out “86!”, with a sausage sandwich clutched in her hand. I stood there patiently looking at her and all the people around. “86!” she shouted loudly again, looking impatient.

I smiled. Noone came. I then suggested, as I had 98, that I could take that one, and then when my number came up, they could have that sausage sandwich. “98?!” the woman cooking at the back quizzed .... “That’s 86, Love!” she declared. I smiled again, took the sandwich and walked away with my head held in the air trying to not look too humiliated. I won’t make that mistake again!

Classic.

The morning was actually a great success.

Hayden gained £27 and we were two empty boxes better off. Result. DVDs, toys and books all gone to good homes where they can be enjoyed. We definitely want to go again. This time we will do a bit more research first, but to be honest, it was a great morning and the real purpose was to move “stuff” out of the house and give Hayden a bit of money to get his new games with. I was more than happy and Nellie left with a big smile on her bonnet.

Where will Nellie go next…?

Gardening Tips

on your

PLOT Feeling Fruity

Few flavours compare with that of fruit freshly picked from the garden.

Much of the fruit available in the shops (particularly the supermarkets) has been grown for it’s ability to travel well rather than it’s flavour and may have been picked well before it’s arrival on the shelf. If you fancy apples from your own tree, or a bowl of raspberries fresh from the garden, now is the time to act.

Jobs for November:Start to harvest parsnips after the first frosts.

Tidy up your greenhouse or polytunnel, wash out pots and seed trays before storing ready for the Spring Sow hardy peas or broad beans ready for an early crop next year.

Use netting or chicken wire to protect your broccoli and cabbages from hungry pigeons.

If you haven’t already done so, plant garlic and shallots.

If your rhubarb is taking over, lift and divide the crowns before replanting.

If you are anything like me you will spend ages drooling over pictures of bushes dripping with blackcurrants or gooseberries, trees laden with apples, or bowls full of luscious raspberries but struggle to get to grips with the realities of production on your own plot!

Patience is a virtue that is definitely required for growing your own, and this is particularly so with fruit trees and bushes. I have to confess to having an inclination to move on with anything that requires more than a few months to give a decent crop, but with most fruit you just have to force yourself to take the long term view and now being the proud owner of a 2 year old gooseberry bush and raspberry canes I can assure you that the waiting is worthwhile!

Think carefully about where you will grow your fruit. Trees require lots of space (but are a wonderfully attractive addition to your plot) while bushes may be incorporated in your borders, but will probably need some protection if you aren’t going to loose a lot of fruit to the birds.

Late autumn is an ideal time to add fruit to your plot as trees and bushes will be entering their dormant period. It is important to buy healthy plants and to ensure that they are dormant as they will transplant more successfully. If you are ordering from a reputable mail order nursery they are likely to arrange delivery to coincide with the best time for planting.

You should also get

instruction on how to plant and care for your new tree or bush.

Trees such as apple or plum may be grafted onto a variety of different rootstocks - this sounds complicated but all you really need to know is what effect this will have on the final size of the tree. If you have limited space it is possible to buy dwarf varieties some of which can even be suitable for container growing.

Pollination is also an important consideration, some varieties are self -fertile and do not need a pollinator, while others may require another variety planted close by to act as a pollinator. When planting your tree out it may benefit from staking and protection around the base.

One ‘fruit’ that is a little different and very easy to grow is Rhubarb.

Rhubarb is actually classified as a vegetable, but certainly tastes good used like a fruit in crumbles and pies.

November is the perfect time to plant out dormant crowns. Although these can be bought from nurseries Rhubarb tends to spread well when established and needs to be divided every few years so it is often possible to obtain surplus crowns from friends or neighbours.

Plant your crown with the buds just above the soil and water well the first year. Once the plants have become established you can look forward to harvesting a good crop of delicious pink stems from Spring onwards - very welcome as the first ‘fruit’ of the year.

My Success Story “I am 59 years old and went through a very painful divorce in 2002. Since then I have had a number of difficult work situations. I have been quite stressed and always seem to be getting into disputes with people. Any relationships that I had did not work out. Physically I put on a lot of weight and I felt quite unhappy and down. My back started to hurt more and more and prevented me from exercising. I had frequent incapacitating migraines and I drank too much.

“Over the last 15+ years, I have done a load of courses I have read many many books, I even tried to learn more about being a medium etc.

I was looking for answers as to what life was about and how I had created what I was facing.

I knew at some level that I was responsible for what was happening to me, I knew that only I could sort my life out, I just did not know how to do it or even where to start.

“I literally stumbled across Scientology® without knowing that it was Scientology. I responded to an advert which was on a page with lots of other self tests, as I felt that I could be a bit depressed and wanted to see if it was true.

I did the test, had a chat with Mel and started the DIANETICS® course. The book was really interesting. It resonated in so many ways. The technical explanations and the information that was given in the book made a lot of sense to me so I ploughed through the book, quite motivated to finish it.

35

“I now have no more migraines, literally, I have not had even a headache since finishing the auditing. My back is doing really well and I have no real pain now. I feel less stressed and emotional all of the time and I don’t get upset with little things. I am not as reactive as I was.

I am quite calm now. I am sleeping quite well now (7 hours a night is normal now - I used to get 4 or 5 max a night before). I also had a lot of food allergies, which are not totally cured but in the main they are much better.

My flare ups are much less frequent than they were and not as extreme. I have noticed quite a difference since doing the ‘Survival Rundown’.

As I go through this course I am noticing that I am much more present and spend less time in the past. Old stuff does not get in the way so much. I see things much clearly now (literally) and I feel that time actually seems to go slower - or I get a lot more done - don’t know which one it is and I don’t care - its great. Please read the DIANETICS book and see for yourself how it could help you.” - BR

“I wanted to do more so I went to do ‘auditing’ and several Life Improvement courses.
