‘Outstanding’ Hospital Orchard Garden wins Gold at South & South East in Bloom Awards The therapeutic Orchard Garden at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital was heralded as ‘outstanding’ by judges after it received a Gold award at today’s South & South East in Bloom 2017 awards ceremony.

The Orchard Garden – funded by donations to Bournemouth Hospital Charity – was awarded the highest honour of a Gold award at the annual ceremony in Gatwick after it had been nominated for the awards by the Bournemouth in Bloom organisation.

South & South East in Bloom judge Ruth Growney, who visited the Royal Bournemouth Hospital to evaluate the Orchard Garden in July, said it was ‘incredibly rare’ for a first time entrant to receive a Gold award.

“I am thrilled to award Gold to the Royal Bournemouth Hospital’s Orchard Garden,” said Ruth. “The Orchard Garden is an outstanding example that is made even more extraordinary as it is a first time entry. It’s incredibly rare for this to happen, but so well deserved.”

Haematology Consultant Dr Helen McCarthy, who originally envisioned the concept of the Orchard Garden project, says she is delighted that the garden has received a Gold award.

“I strongly believe in the healing power of gardens and I’m grateful to those who supported my vision of creating this small oasis in the grounds of a hospital,” said Dr McCarthy.

“I would like to thank all of our patients, their families and our staff for their passion in fundraising to make this possible. Much emotion has been invested in this lovely garden for cancer patients to enjoy.”

The Orchard Garden has transformed the previously unused and unattractive courtyard in between the Hospital’s Jigsaw Building and Pathology Department into a tranquil area of relaxation and beauty for patients, visitors and staff to enjoy.

The area now features a therapeutic courtyard garden linked by a sensory orchard walkway to the hospital lake, where a fully accessible wooden deck offers an area of peaceful retreat overlooking the water.

The Orchard Garden was significantly supported

by Dorset Cancer Care Foundation – who administered a legacy from the late Betty Hyams – as well as the Tesco ‘Bags of Help’ programme that contributed £12,000 after local Tesco shoppers voted to back the project at the checkouts.

Touchingly, over £35,000 of the total was donated in-memory of former patients who were never able to enjoy the benefits of the Orchard Garden but who received treatment during its construction.

Marathon Effort for the JTYAF An amazing team of 22 supporters completed an epic ‘Marathon Effort’ to raise funds for the John Thornton Young Achievers Foundation (JTYAF).

Joe Barnett, JTYAF Trustee, organised the walk which started at Sandbanks and finished 26 miles along the coast path, in Lymington. Although they headed off in glorious sunshine they battled wind and torrential rain at times, many picking up injuries too.

They all accomplished what they had set out to do, showing great courage, determination and plenty of cheerfulness in adversity reflecting the true spirit of the charity.

Pete Thornton, Charity Chairman, commented, “We can’t thank Joe and his team enough for taking part in this fantastic event. Thanks, must also go to all the friends and family who have supported them so generously. They

Cloudy2Clear Announce Trusted Trader Partnership Consumer champions Which? have now joined the thousands of customers who recognise that Cloudy2Clear Windows really are a business that you can TRUST. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has received the coveted ‘Which Trusted Trader’ status after going through a rigorous accreditation process entirely focussed on customer service.

Group Managing Director Marcus McGee believes that Which? have endorsed Cloudy2Clear’s long standing

company policy of delivering the highest standards possible at all times. ‘Our service is simple. If your double glazing has 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 25 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps. Whilst a number of tradespeople perhaps don’t focus on customer care as much as they should do, 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.

Locally Cloudy2Clear service the Bournemouth area

DQG Panager Justin Friel agrees that this 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 as both my customers and, obviously a body as nationally important as Which? now recognise.’

Wildlife News

Talking about Wildlife...

Every Child Wild It’s a common topic of conversation: are we spending too much time inside with technology, rather than getting out into our natural environment? Young or old, we all spend time in front of screens, for work and pleasure, but many of us do remember playing outside when we were young. However, there are some statistics that suggest children aren’t spending as much time with nature as perhaps their parents did. In a recent survey by England’s largest outdoor learning project, Natural Connections, it was found that only 8% of school age children in England get out of their classrooms and into green spaces. 92% of schools said spending time with nature improves pupils’ health and wellbeing, and engages them with learning. In a You Gov study it was found that 78% of parents are concerned that children don’t spend though time interacting with nature and wildlife.

So, Dorset Wildlife Trust (DWT) has decided to do something to address this disconnection with nature. We want to give thousands of children in Dorset a safe place to learn, laugh, watch or simply relax, surrounded by nature – all the things that many of us took for granted when we were young. It’s called the WildHub, at DWT’s Kingcombe Centre in West Dorset, surrounded with 180 hectares of the Kingcombe Meadows Nature Reserve.

The WildHub will have three main elements.

An innovative outdoor classroom, complete with benches and a wooden chest full of wild activities such as books and activity sheets, a new wildlife exploration zone and play area for families, and a new pavilion

boardwalk that runs down to the river Hooke – the perfect way to explore this wonderful place.

All of these elements to ‘wild play’ will provide a safe, immersive environment to give children the confidence to explore the countryside and wildlife around them.

Technology is a wonderful thing, and can support a child’s understanding of the world, but we want them to experience wildlife and nature in real life, rather than just watching it on TV. We don’t want them to miss out.

If you would like to support our WildHub project, visit www.crowdfunder.co.uk/ wildhub to donate or find out more about our fantastic ideas to make every child wild!

Bournemouth Hallmark Hotels Provide Cancer Patients With Complimentary Cream Teas Bournemouth’s three Hallmark Hotels have been donating complimentary cream teas to chemotherapy patients at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital As part of their commitment to the local community, Hallmark Hotels Bournemouth have been working with Bournemouth Hospital Charity to provide complimentary cream teas to inspirational cancer patients who are currently undergoing or have recently completed chemotherapy treatments.

The charitable project began with a meeting between the Bournemouth Hallmark Hotel Cluster General Manager, Paul Clarke and the Senior Corporate Fundraiser at Bournemouth Hospital Charity, Maria Tidy. After hearing some incredibly moving and inspirational stories, Paul was keen that three Hallmark hotels should find a way to support chemotherapy patients at Bournemouth Hospital.

Providing an opportunity to escape with family or friends, Paul and the Bournemouth Hallmark Hotels team have now given out over 40 cream tea vouchers to Bournemouth Hospital Charity. The vouchers are valid for a free cream tea at either the Bournemouth Hallmark East Cliff, Carlton, or West Cliff Hotels.

Paul Clarke said: “After meeting representatives from the Royal Bournemouth Hospital and hearing some truly inspirational stories, we wanted to reward strong individuals who are undergoing chemotherapy treatments or overcoming cancer. The cream tea vouchers are intended to give these individuals the relaxation break they deserve.”

Maria Tidy said: “We are very grateful for the Hallmark Hotels cream tea donations. We know that they’ll be greatly appreciated by many of our patients who are currently undergoing chemotherapy. I would like to thank Paul and the Hallmark team for bringing a smile to all our faces.”

The Bournemouth Hospital Charity was created to enhance the care and treatment at the Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch Hospital. All the funds they raise through donations, gifts and events are destined to provide additional facilities and new equipment for both staff and patients. Through community and corporate partnerships, the charity has managed to make a difference for the patients, their families and the dedicated staff.

Adventures of Nellie

26

The Adventures of Nellie The Dorset Directories Camper Van Nellie has had the time of life recently travelling all over England, quite literally. In the last two months she has taken us camping at Norden Farm near Corfe Castle with my parents, then she took us to Cornwall, Holywell Bay to be precise, for a surf life-saving competition, then to Hull for a family wedding and finally to the Centenary Caravan and Camping Club in the New Forest with Stephen’s Dad and sister! What fun. Well mostly…

The drive to Cornwall is one of Nellie’s favourites. Once on the road to Dorchester and beyond she knows she is on holiday. The coast road from Bridport is pretty stunning with expansive views of the sea and rolling English countryside. We always stop at Charmouth to have a cuppa and gaze into

Ready to hit the beach

Nellie with her new pal Movelite the glistening blue depths, knowing we can “forget all about it” for just a little while. For a whole week we can leave any troubles and worries behind. Bliss. Nellie’s engine was purring.

Sometime later with singing at its height, we arrived at the Caravan and Camping Club site at Treamble Valley. Unpacking all our ‘stuff’ we realised we had made the big mistake of putting the Kombi Ex awning away while it was damp… and we hadn’t dried it out.

Yes, big mistake. The awning was musty and not in good condition. Then the rains started and it just did not stop. Heavy, constant rain. I woke up wet through on the left side!

Deciding the best thing was to take refuge in good old Nellie, I knew I needed to check Hayden to see if he was dry. He woke up to his ‘weird’ mother patting his sleeping bag, wondering why I was checking his legs were ok!? I had to see the funny side of that.

Fortunately, Hayden was totally dry. So now we had a musty, damp awning with a week to go. Hayden had a competition coming up and there was no way that Nellie was going to chance more sleepless night as the weather forecast was not looking at all good.

Off to Newquay it was then. A new ‘blow up’ awning later, another full day packing and

27 unpacking, and we were once again all set.

A rather exhausting start to a blissful week away. Do you ever wonder why we do this to ourselves?

It did remind me of “Carry on Camping” only I don’t have quite the same laugh as Barbara Windsor. I am missing a couple of other characteristics too…

Holywell Bay park was fun. Nellie wanted to join in the go-karts and I am sure she would have won, but sadly she was disqualified at the starting block. The foot golf was almost impossible and we did laugh. I kept telling the boys I had won until I owned up to picking up the ball at one point and throwing it through the gap, instead of kicking it. Oh well.

Nellie really liked Padstow. The quay there is atmospheric with all the little stalls, street sellers braiding girl’s hair, boats and ice creams. A real sea-side treat.

The sea in Cornwall is much more active than here in Dorset and Hampshire. The waves pound onto the sand with white fighting sea horses that hurl towards you. I can see why many beaches have RNLI experts at the ready, watching you. The National Surf Life Saving Competition was held on Holywell Bay. The event is so exiting with teams from all over the country. Some of these competitors surf six days a week, including the winter months. Hayden is part of the Youth Team, Branksome Chine, and they did really well but not as well as the Branksome Masters had done the previous two days! It is no mean

Much more relaxing end to the holidays...

Battling against the ocean waves feat swimming against the tide over crashing waves on a small board around the buoys and back again to run on the beach to the finish line. I take my hat off to them, or should I say my ‘dry robe’? Nellie was suitably impressed with them all.

Once this was all over Nellie had to drive us all the way to Hull to my cousin’s wedding!

Nellie was packed with wellies, wet suits and surf boards, next to wedding dresses, satin shoes and a fascinator. Hilarious and only us Brits could do this. As I have said Nellie is a fun loving girl who adapts to many situations and is always ready for an adventure. Life is for living to the full and Nellie smiles her way through it.

The wedding was a great success and it was wonderful to catch up with everyone.

We managed to keep Nellie off the booze.

After all she was doing the driving!

We were home for just one week when Nellie set off again and took us to the New Forest Centenary Club to meet Stephen’s Dad and sister. This was much more relaxing with wonderful sunshine and a fantastic end to our summer exploits. The gorgeous bright yellow Jessie Phyllis (named after her two grandmothers) was there. This is Nellie’s retro style VW friend who belongs to Stephen’s sister and both she and Nellie sunbathed to their hearts content dreaming about what they would do next summer. Where will Nellie take us next?

Gardening Tips

On Your Plot Benefits of Garlic

Time spent on clearing and preparing your beds now will pay dividends next year. Make the most of the autumn sunshine to get compost dug into bare beds and you’ll have saved yourself hours of work on those chilly Spring days.

Jobs for October :-

• Make sure that plenty of sun can get to your pumpkins in order to get them ripe in time for Halloween.

• Plant garlic, shallots and Japanese onions.

• Leaving dead seed heads etc. on your flower borders will provide valuable food and shelter for garden wildlife over winter, as will leaving an undisturbed log or two. Build a rough shelter in a quiet corner and you might get a hedgehog move in!

• If you get lots of fallen leaves on your plot don’t waste them. Make a bin from chicken wire attached to 4 posts. Fill this with the leaves and they will rot down to give you sweet-smelling black leaf mould in one to two years tim.

As the days get shorter and the weather gets cooler the focus on your vegetable plot starts to turn from growing and harvesting, into clearing and tidying.

October is a good month for taking stock of how things have gone this year and starting to make plans for what you will grow in the future.

Removing spent crops exposes slugs and other such pests to birds and other garden friendly wildlife. It also gives you the chance to look after your soil and assess how the space will be used next. Crop rotation is important so if the space is to remain bare over winter it may be wise to make notes about what grew where this season.

Add matter from your compost heap to newly cleared areas, either digging it in, or leaving a layer on the top where the worms will gradually incorporate it into the deeper soil over winter. If the soil is heavy leaving it bare will enable frosts to help break it up. Our soil is lighter and benefits from being covered over - we use flattened cardboard boxes which protect from the rain (and we’ve all had enough of that lately!), and

also help keep the weeds at bay.

You may think that it’s all too late in the year to be planting, but there are some crops that definitely need to be thought of now, and others that, given an early start now, will benefit next Spring.

If you’ve not grown garlic before, then do try it - it’s easy to grow, can help protect other crops from pests, and with just a small amount of space you can grow enough to see you through the whole year! Now is definitely the time to order your garlic bulbs and they can be planted anytime between now and Christmas, but preferably not when the soil is too wet. Rather than planting all the garlic together it may pay to spread it around the plot as the strong smell can be an aid in keeping pests such as the carrot root fly away from other crops.

Each garlic bulb should be separated into individual cloves and the cloves are planted with the pointed end uppermost, just below the surface, leaving about 4 inches between each one. They like well drained soil and you’ll be pleasantly surprised in the long winter days to see their green tips creeping upwards. Each clove matures into a whole new bulb. The traditional time for harvesting garlic is in June, on the longest day of the year and if properly dried and stored it will keep right through the winter.

Would you like some fresh, tender, young, peas early in the Spring next year? Look out for hardy varieties that can be planted now. They can be overwintered and are able to withstand the frosts, though protection with a cloche will be appreciated. We will be starting ours in pots to keep in the polytunnel over winter ready for early planting next season.

Annual Honey Show – Save the Bees!

Beekeeping is becoming an ever-more popular past time in the UK at the moment – but you really do need the help and support of your local British Beekeeping Association.

The Bournemouth & Dorset South Beekeepers’ Association has existed since 2008 and its members form a group of friendly people who have an interest in bees.

The aim of the Association is to promote beekeeping, encourage new beekeepers and raise the awareness of the importance of bees in the natural world.

The Association provides: • A body of expertise in beekeeping • A forum for discussion • Weekly summer meetings at the Association Apiary • Winter meetings for talks and lectures • An Apiary for demonstrations and education • An annual Honey Show • An extensive library • Arrangemeents for insurance • BBKA beekeeping classes • Talks to other groups (scouts, schools and other associations and societies) • A supply of honey for sale Even if you’re not thinking of keeping bees yourself, you have probably read about the plight of the honeybee in the modern world, as it is threatened by new pests and loss of habitat.

The annual Honey Show is a great opportunity to meet your local beekeeping community, learn about the amazing world of bees, come and find out more about the

wonderful things they produce, benefit from the health properties of natural honey and, of course, support honeybees in their work pollinating our food. And maybe, even buy some delicious, local honey!
