Dear Poole Residents, Happy Mother’s Day to all our wonderful Mums, Grans, Nans and Carers! Easter is also early this year and very nearly upon us, so we do hope you get to spend some time with family and friends and that the weather is kind to us all and we can get out and about! Spring officially starts on Tuesday 20th March which means we have daffodils, hyacinths, crocuses, tulips and other delightful flowers to look forward to as well as (hopefully) a warmer, milder climate. Marvellous!

This is the time of year we look at doing the spring cleaning. Out with that clutter, and the feather duster! I have already started mine and I have to say I have a really enjoyed it. There is quite some satisfaction in clearing out and freshening everything up. I am not sure how long that attitude will last though…

Just as well we have experts to help make life easier for us. This is where your local Directory comes in useful. Keep it by the phone for when you will need it, after you have had a good read of course and sent in the prize wordsearch. If there is a trade missing, that you need, please let us know and we will do our best to find the right person for you.

We are here to help.

The lucky winner of the last prize wordsearch was Mrs C Farthing. Nellie has taken a rest this month but will be back in all her glory in April. She is very much look forward to the sunshine!

Here’s to a great month of March.

All the Best,

Debbie & Stephen Corney

Bournemouth to Paris Cycle – early bird offer Julia’s House is offering an early bird opportunity for its Bournemouth to Paris cycle ride for participants that sign up before 30th March 2018.

Early birds will receive a discount of £100 on their registration fee.

The ride, which sets off on 6 September 2018, is a four-day cycle challenge from the sandy beaches of Bournemouth through 300 miles of some of the prettiest English and French countryside, villages and medieval market towns, ending in the beautiful city of Paris.

Hannah Miller, Events and Challenge Fundraiser for Julia’s House said: “After catching the morning ferry to Cherbourg, the route hugs the beautiful French coastline, taking in the Normandy landing beaches before heading inland, passing through some of France’s most stunning northern countryside and villages. This is the ride’s second year and I am really looking forward to cycling with everyone again. ”

With long days in the saddle and some challenging hill climbs, the view of the Eiffel Tower which marks the end of the ride will be a welcome sight. There will be time on the final day to enjoy all that Paris has to offer.

Cyclists can sign up as individuals or as a team and each participant will be given a free Julia’s House cycling jersey and the entry fee includes training rides in the New Forest, ride leaders, four nights’ accommodation, ferry transfers and a celebratory gala dinner on the last night in Paris.

For more information please contact Hannah at hannah.miller@juliashouse.org. Once booked, riders will be sent an information pack which includes everything they need to know.

To take advantage of the early bird offer of £100 off the registration, use the code ‘EARLYBIRD’ when signing up at www.juliashouse.org/event/ bournemouth-to-paris-cycle-challenge

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 Poole area and

manager 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.’

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

The Revival of Vinyl Vinyl has made a comeback. Sales have spiked higher than they were in the late eighties and now you can even pick up an LP or two along with your weekly groceries at the supermarket. The music industry seems to have done a complete 360, throwing it back to the fifties with this not-sonew revamp of the way we listen to music.

But why?

The way I see it, it’s to do with the way we view music. In the current era of digital downloads and unlimited streaming, music has gone a bit stale. Back in the day it was fresh and exciting. When The Rolling Stones or Led Zeppelin released a new track people would queue outside stores to pick up their own copy. If you wanted to hear the latest songs you would have to buy the singles, and with that came a lot more enjoyment and charm than just clicking a button and blasting it from your phone speakers. There’s a sense of authenticity and charm with the sound of music through a record player that is lost with digital recordings. Vinyl has had such a whirlwind renaissance, from almost dying out after the invention of CDs, to outselling digital downloads in 2016, and part of that is down to the fact that recorded music was made to be played on vinyl. Simply nothing compares to the novelty of hearing your favourite tracks played on the format they originated from.

The 21st April marks Record Store Day: a celebration of the originality of music and independent record shops. To keep the magic of vinyl alive, a brilliant line-up of bands and artists release various limitededition coloured re-presses, exclusive

singles of unheard tracks and even perform in-store gigs.

Dorset is home to a whole array of independent stores. From the charming and nostalgic to the straight up whacky, no two are even remotely the same. Whether it’s for a blast from the past, or to delve into this new wave of revived vinyl, go and check out your local record store and see what all this new fuss is about.

Talking about Wildlife...

The turning of the seasons...

As winter turns into spring, new life, colours and sounds in the Dorset landscape are emerging for the beginning of a new season.

The winter has been long, so these changes in nature are most welcome, bringing along with them the longer and warmer days we’ve been looking forward to. The first signs of spring will be seeing the seasonal flowers popping up in gardens, woodlands and roadsides.

The delicate and iconic snowdrop and daffodil are usually the first brave enough to bloom, despite the occasional frosty day, with the carpets of bluebells to follow in woodland in April and May. The skies will not only be brighter, but they will also be noisier, as birds such as wrens, blackbirds, robins, finches and even waxcaps, prepare for breeding and start their ‘dawn chorus’ in May. The dawn chorus is one of the best wildlife experiences in the UK, and one not to be missed, even if it means an early start (or if you’re a light sleeper!).

Birds take part in their chorus as they’re looking for a mate and preparing to breed – if you can get up early enough, they are very active just before dawn, when their predators might be able to hear them, but still can’t quite see them.

Butterflies are the next sign of spring. This year, some have been seen as early as January, according to Butterfly Conservation.

The most likely species we’ll see will be those which have hibernated over the winter, as the warmer weather entices them out once again. The brimstone, red admiral and peacock are sometimes seen earlier in spring, with many people reporting the

Robin singing

brimstone flitting around hedgerows and in gardens this time of year. Moths can also be seen this early on in the year, and are often mistaken for a butterfly. Moths have a reputation for being drab and brown but this is not always the case as some are bright and vibrant such as the orange underwing or brimstone moth.

Meanwhile, in our gardens, the transition between the harsh winter and spring is beginning. Do not presume that wildlife still doesn’t need a helping hand though, and keep putting out food and water for the birds, to help them through the colder days. Other tasks for the garden this time of year include putting up bird boxes and creating ‘wild’ areas with logs and twigs, and building a compost, for wildlife to make a home in your garden.

Get out and about this spring and explore Dorset’s best wild spaces. Plan your visit: www.dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/reserves.

Bournemouth & Poole College raises more than £2,000 by hosting charity dinner Catering students from Bournemouth & Poole College were joined by top local head chefs to host a charity dinner which raised more than £2,000 for a children’s charity.

A group of 25 students hosted the sixcourse dinner in the Escoffier Restaurant at the College’s Lansdowne site on Tuesday, February 6, which was attended by over 60 paying members of staff from hotels and restaurants across Dorset and the public.

Funds raised from the event, which totalled £2,200, went to Wave 105’s Cash for Kids charity, which supports local children under the age of 18 who are financially, socially, emotionally or physically disadvantaged.

The students were supported in cooking up a feast by a number of top head chefs from across Dorset and Hampshire. These included Francis Baumer, Head Chef of Urban Reef in Boscombe, Colin Nash, Head Chef of The Three Tuns in Bransgore, Loic Gratadoux, Head Chef of the Harbour Heights Hotel in Canford Cliffs, Andrew Gault, Head Chef of the Captain’s Club Hotel in Christchurch, and Kevin Brown, Head Chef of The Lord Bute Hotel in Highcliffe.

The cost of ingredients for the dishes

served to customers was sponsored by suppliers to the restaurants, as well as the restaurants themselves, which allowed all of the proceeds from the event to go to the good cause.

Martin Tarbuck, catering tutor at Bournemouth & Poole College, said: “Guests were treated to a six-course dinner, with each course being produced by one of the guest chefs who showcased one of their own dishes. The students then prepared a range of petit fours and chocolates to serve with coffee.

“Some of them have had the chance to work on similar events in the past.

However, to be working with five of the area’s best head chefs in one kitchen at the same time, is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and something that I am sure they will never forget.

“We are exceptionally proud of all of the students’ hard work and are extremely grateful to all of the head chefs and their restaurants for giving up their time to pass on some of their skills.”

BOTTLE OF SPARKLING WINE

FARES FROM £1399pp

Your 'one and only chance' to sail from Southampton aboard this stunning ship!

Launched in 2016, Koningsdam carries forward all of the tradition, nautical heritage, and signature service and style for which Holland America Line is known —while raising the bar for 21st-century elegance.

18th September 2018 (10 nights) Sail from Southampton & Fly back from Rome to London

Fares from £1399pp

The 2,650-guest Koningsdam is the first of her class, ushering in a new era of Pinnacle-class cruising. Her name’s roots, like the ship itself, are a mix of something contemporary and something classic: “Koning,” means king in Dutch— and is a salute to King WillemAlexander, the Netherland’s first king in more than 100 years.

To bring this new ship to life, Holland America Line commissioned two legendary partners, change-maker Adam D. Tihany, regarded as one of the world’s pre-eminent hospitality designers and designer, and architect Bjørn Storbraaten, the force behind ms Nieuw Amsterdam and ms Eurodam.

Their design cues for Koningsdam?

Light-filled spaces. Fluid curves. A sophisticated interplay of high technology and elegance. With beautiful architectural elements inspired by music.

All woven together in a forward-thinking design approach.

At the heart of the ship, Koningsdam’s central atrium is pure visual drama.

Soaring three decks high, the space is graced by an airy stainless steel sculpture that evokes the feeling of a classical quartet, with strings, arches, and bows. The atrium is capped by a ceiling that serves as a backdrop for subtly changing high-definition projections.

Look up by day to see wispy cirrus clouds floating overhead. By evening, the atrium takes on dramatic lighting hues or reflects the clear constellations of the night sky.

Auto Biographies

Audi A4 Avant 3.0 TDI Quattro

By Tim Barnes-Clay, www.carwriteups.co.uk Fitted with a 3.0 litre V6 engine, the latest Audi A4 Avant becomes almost too powerful for its own good.

Don’t get me wrong; the diesel lump is a real pearl, but there’s no way it returns the claimed 57.6mpg when riding on 19inch wheels. I found the car thirsty, and mid-30s was more realistic for me when driving two-up, with no luggage, on a mix of motorways, A and B-roads.

The A4 estate model that Audi sent me came in top S line trim, and starts at £38,895, but with a few thousand pounds of options thrown at it, my test car was waving a £46,395 price-tag.

You get a lot of kit for the cash, though and Audi is well-known for its upmarket, understated interiors that are both perfectly finished and intuitive.

This A4 doesn’t dissatisfy; it has upscale materials everywhere and a straightforward, intelligible dashboard arrangement. Technology is plentiful, too.

It includes: a reversing camera, parking sensors, three-zone climate control,

heated electric seats, and a powered, hands-free boot.

The A4 Avant is among the best-looking estates on the market in Britain. It’s undeniably classy, and the large 3.0 litre diesel engine is so smooth that it feels more like a hard-hitting petrol unit.

What’s more, indiscernible wind and road noise make the A4 the quietest cruiser in its class – by a long chalk. The ride is wonderful, and easily a match for BMW’s 3-series. The same goes for the car’s bobon handling.

This practical five-up estate comes with Audi’s standard seven-speed S tronic automatic gearbox. It changes slickly, keeping the revs low except when Dynamic mode is selected. A moderate push of your right foot is all that’s required to build momentum hastily; stamp down hard, though and you’ll get to 62mph in just 6.4 seconds.

Pros ‘n’ Cons • Fast √ • Quiet √ • Kit √ • Ride √ • Thirsty X

Fast Facts • Max speed: 152mph • 0-62 mph: 6.4 secs • Combined mpg: 57.6 • Engine: 2967cc 6-cyl turbo diesel • CO2: 126 g/km • Price: £38,895
