Dorset Quirky Facts With its picture perfect landscapes and glorious Jurassic coastline, Dorset is certainly a sparkling gem on the crown of Great Britain. Indeed, with a history that delves into some of the most exciting events of bygone eras, from distinguished Dorset heroes to praise from Daniel Defoe himself, here is just a handful of the quirkiest facts from our beautiful county. 1. Both visitors and locals alike can surely testify to the beauty of the Jurassic Coast, however did you know that it is not only humans who are especially fond of the beautiful waters? There are roughly ten different animal species that have been spotted in Dorset waters including white-beaked, porpoises, common, striped-beaked and bottlenose dolphins. In fact, some dolphins are such frequent visitors that they have almost become old friends to the avid watchers who spot them regularly. 2. No coastal county’s history would be complete without a few good tales of the smugglers and certainly Dorset is no exception. The Smuggler’s Inn in Osmington dates as far back as the 13th century but is more notorious for its once being the base of renowned French smuggler Pierre Latour who, it is rumoured, was caught after a Revenue man hid up the chimney to gather evidence against him! 3. Dorset has always been celebrated for its relaxing tranquility and beautiful scenery
and has welcomed many writers and artists from across the nation to come and be inspired. One such author was beloved children’s writer Enid Blyton who wrote an abundance of books and stories of adventures and famous characters. Blyton would visit Dorset, especially Swanage and Studland and stay at various hotels including Knoll House Hotel, several times throughout the year. Many avid fans of her books can spot similarities between her writings and local landmarks. 4. Did you know that Bournemouth witnessed the death of one of Britain’s most celebrated men, Charles Rolls in the summer of 1910? Charles Rolls, of globally renowned partnership Rolls Royce, was an avid pilot and had previously accomplished many impressive feats in his aircraft as well as (earlier) crossing the channel in a balloon. On the day of his death he was performing as part of an aircraft display at Hengistbury Airfield before tragically becoming the first person to die in such an accident in Britain. 5. Did you know that the Dorset town of Blandford Forum, itself an historic market town, was also famed throughout the country and further afield for its lace? Although there were several lace towns throughout Britain, not many received the accolade that Blandford did when Daniel Defoe commented that the town produced “the finest bonelace in England... I think I never saw better in Flanders, France or Italy”. Praise indeed! by Mica Bale

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!

Charity of the Year partnership raises over £5,000 for hospice A charity partnership between Forum Jewellers has raised nearly £6.000 for Forest Holme Hospice in Poole to help fund and support local people across Poole, Wimborne and the Isle of Purbeck facing a lifelimiting illness. Forum Jewellers, an award winning, family run jewellery shop in Broadstone, Poole, choose to support Forest Holme as its Charity of the Year during 2019, which was the hospice’s 25th anniversary, following a customer online vote. During the year they hosted a number of fundraising events, including a Dine with Diamonds and a Pearls and Prosecco evening, as well as participating in the hospice’s Wear Yellow Day and Big Brunch activities. Also, one of their colleagues, Deanna Shepherd, took to the skies and completed a charity Wing Walk on top of a Boeing Stearman. Kirsty Perks, Fundraiser at Forest Holme, said, “We have really enjoyed working with Forum Jewellers over the past year and their on-going support has been invaluable. We want to thank them and their
customers for helping to ensure that we can provide consistent and unconditional care not just now, but also in the future.” Forest Holme is part of Poole Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and is supported by the charity, which needs to raise at least £850,000 each year to help enhance the NHS provision at the hospice to deliver end of life care and support to more than 1,000 people each year with advanced cancer and other life-limiting illnesses. Forum’s Director, Helen Molloy, said, “We’re so sad to be moving on from Forest Holme as they have been a joy to work with - so professional and supportive. We wish them every success with their fundraising in 2020.”

Talking about Wildlife...
Win for wildlife The marsh fri�llary is one of the most interes�ng bu�erflies in Dorset and is the most a�rac�ve and colourful of the fri�llaries. O�en considered the ‘stained glass window’ of bu�erflies, they have small wings but are very recognisable with a bright, intricate pa�ern of white, orange and black markings.
The damp grassland habitat, which is their main habitat, has been lost na�onally due agriculturalimprovement and drainage in the landscape. However, due to careful habitat management over the last 10 years, they have been found to be thriving on one of Dorset Wildlife Trust’s nature reserves, Bracke�s Coppice. Dorset Wildlife Trust’s Living Landscapes Ecologist, Steve Masters said, “The most reliable method to record the numbers of marsh fri�llaries is to count the larva webs in autumn or in spring a�er the winter hiberna�on. Eggs are laid in large batches, of up to 300, and the caterpillars aggregate in webs which can be counted rela�vely easily.” Marsh fri�llaries prefer to hibernate in tussocks of grass as caterpillars (which are jet black in colour) and emerge in warm weather – as early as February or March, if the winter isn’t too cold. Basking in the sun as caterpillars, they will then pupate and emerge as adult bu�erflies on the wing in late May, early June. These remarkable bu�erflies have a few challenges ahead of them including their loss of habitat, but also the parasi�c wasp, which can be deadly to them by laying their eggs inside the caterpillar and devouring it.
Steve con�nues, “Their food plant is Devils bit-scabious, and we have plenty of that at Bracke�s Coppice. Marsh fri�llaries love damp grassland, purple moor grass, and chalk, all of which we have in west Dorset. To help accommodate these bu�erflies we’ve adapted the management of Bracke�’s Coppice slightly to ensure the amount of grazing creates the right habitat for them, providing the right structure for all stages of their life cycle. We even removed one field from the previous hay cu�ng regime and grazed instead, and we were delighted to see marsh fri�llaries breeding in this field for the first �me, as a result.” These management techniques are being used on other suitable nature reserves, and in 2019, the highest number of marsh fri�llary larval webs, since monitoring began, were found on Kingcombe Meadows nature reserve in west Dorset, with 38 being counted.

Myth busting with LPAs You may have seen our earlier article on The Reasons to have a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA). However, there are common misconceptions on why an LPA may not be necessary which this article explores further. 1. “I don’t need an LPA because my next of kin can make important decisions on my behalf.” Not true. No-one can act on your behalf or make decisions on your behalf if they have not been legally authorised to do so, not even your next of kin. 2. “My partner and I have joint bank accounts, so we don’t need LPAs.” Not true. This always alarms couples the most, when they are told that even if they have a joint bank account the partner may not be able to automatically access funds to pay for bills, mortgage or general expenses. If one of you were to lose capacity, the bank can remove access and freeze the account until it receives a copy of a registered LPA. This can be an extremely stressful time for the partner. 3. “I have appointed executors in my Will, so they’ll be able to make decisions on my behalf.” Not true. A Will is entirely separate to an LPA. Executors appointed in a Will only have the power or authority to distribute your estate as requested and in line with your Will, on your death. They have no authority to make decisions on your behalf during your lifetime. 4. “I don’t need an LPA until I become elderly and in ill health.” Not true. An LPA can be made by anyone
over the age of 18 who has full mental capacity. Someone may lose capacity and no longer be able to make decisions due to an accident, being in a coma or mental illness. The sooner you arrange an LPA the better as you will have peace of mind knowing provisions are already in place in the event of the unthinkable happening. If you wait and lose capacity in that time, it will be too late to arrange an LPA and your loved ones will need to apply for a Deputyship Order from the Court of Protection. This not only takes a long time but is also a costly process. 5. “Once my Health and Welfare LPA is registered, it means someone else can make decisions for me and I don’t want that while I still have capacity.” Not true. A Health and Welfare LPA only comes into effect when the donor loses capacity even if the LPA has been registered. All the while you can make your own Health and Welfare decisions you will continue to do so. 6. “Getting an LPA is expensive.” Not true. It does not have to be expensive with Dorset & Wight. (See our prices opposite). The cost of registering an LPA is a maximum of £82 per document. In comparison, if you fail to make an LPA and lose capacity, your family will be left with no other option but to apply for a Deputyship Order. This will cost considerably more.
To put an LPA in place for you or your loved ones, please call Dorset & Wight Wills today…….

Stride out and Walk for Hope Wessex Cancer Trust’s biggest annual fundraising event, Walk for Hope, returns to the New Forest for its fourth year on Sunday 7th June, and the charity would love more walkers than ever to put their best foot forward and raise vital funds for local people living with cancer. Three hundred people and 30 dogs took part in the 2019 walk. Together they raised £50,000. Participants can choose from a five, 10 or 20-mile route, making the event accessible for supporters of all ages and abilities. Dan Bateman walked the ten-mile route in 2019 with his wife Ashleen who had recently been diagnosed with cancer. He said: “The months leading up to the walk had obviously been really tough for us, so taking part in Walk for Hope was something really positive to focus on. Everyone who took part was really friendly and because we’ve all been touched by cancer in some way, there was a real sense of community and support. It wasn’t a race because we really felt like we were on the same team.” Dan says he recognises that taking part in a charity event can be daunting, but advises anyone thinking about it to, “go for it”: “Walk for Hope was great because it was challenging, but there was a choice of distances so as many people as possible could get involved. You can view it as a gentle stroll or be more competitive with yourself. Ten miles tested us more than we had thought and the legs were a bit sore the next day, but we felt a real sense of achievement when we crossed the finish line. We were spurred on by everyone around us and knowing we were doing it for a brilliant cause. And of course the promise of a burger at the end!” Catherine Lawry from Wessex Cancer Trust who’s organising the event, said: “The peace and beauty of the New Forest make it a fitting setting to come together to give hope to friends and family undergoing cancer treatment, to remember loved ones and to support everyone affected by cancer, and
we would love 2020 to be the biggest and best yet.” Entrants will receive an official Walk for Hope t-shirt, training and fundraising tips, and membership to our Team Wessex Facebook group where they can meet other supporters and share fundraising ideas and photos. After being cheered over the finish line, walkers will receive a medal and celebrate with wellearned refreshments. Tickets are £15 for a child under 16, £25 for adults and £75 for a team of four, with a sponsorship goal of £200. Visit https://www.wessexcancer.org.uk/Event/ wfh-2020 for more information and to sign up, or contact Catherine.lawry@wessexcancer.org.uk. All of the money raised will be used to provide practical and emotional support to people living with cancer in Hampshire, Dorset and the Isle of Wight. The event is being sponsored by Irwin Mitchell Solicitors.

The Adventures of Daichi
The Dorset Directories Camper Van Daichi the Dashing Dude, otherwise known as the Dorset Directories Campervan, decided to be a Time Machine last month, but instead of casting with Michael J Fox, loved by many in his role as Marty McFly in Back to the Future, Daichi chose myself and Hayden as the lead roles, to go ‘back to the past’. To Old Wardour Castle in Wiltshire in fact. Having travelled all the way from Japan, Daichi wanted to know what it was like here in Medieval Britain. I had not driven Daichi for quite some time, so was a little nervous, as he can get pretty playful and does like to wave at passers by with his window wipers instead of indicating where he is going. This has nothing to do with me forgetting what I am doing of course and that the buttons are the ‘other way round’. In addition to that Daichi chose a route that was on single track roads for some of the time. Really. When we saw the bright white reverse lights of the car in front and its boot springing
Debbie & Hayden at Wardour Castle
Daichi taking Debbie & Hayden to Wardour towards us, I was quick to react and avoided Daichi head butting this car’s bottom. That was not a pretty sight. We arrived safely and as I parked and switched off Daichi’s purring engine, the sliding side door suddenly sprang open and an apple, that had rolled out of the picnic bag, flew out! Literally. Hayden laughed loudly. Daichi really was being playful and had obviously been wrapped up too long in the cold garden. Again, this was nothing to do with me pressing any wrong buttons… I just don’t know how you can think that. Wardour Castle is a delight. Ideal for children to run around and explore, and romantic for us oldies to look longingly at the rolling English countryside and imagine what life was like back in the 14th Century. The ladies dreaming of those long flowing gowns and the men with shoulders back, chests puffed out and manly swords in their hands. I know that is very stereo type and I really am showing my age now. Daichi, who we
To advertise in The Poole Directory, please call: 01202 894397
29 know is very proud, could certainly see himself as a Mediaeval Knight in very shiny armour… The castle in fact was built when we, the English, were busy fighting the 100 Years War in France. Wiltshire was a relatively safe location. Designed as a six-sided house with rooms for guests to specifically impress everyone with its status, grandeur and power. It was a house to show off who John, 5th Lord Lovell really was. How connected he was to High Society and the Crown. Built in the fourteenth century, totally as a lavish home to entertain guests and eat like kings while beautifully placed in the peaceful countryside with a magnificent lake full of fish. No mote or high defences. It does have small, slit windows on the ground floor, but this castle was clearly built for luxury living. You can still walk up the spiral staircase to the top of the fifth floor and marvel at the views. Cooking is not my favourite occupation, but back in those days with two huge fires, spit roasts and huge boiling pans it would have been a hell of a job. No wonder the scullions, seen as the lowest of the low in those days, worked almost naked! Do not try this at home… The Hall were the owners and their guests “Castle’s-eye” view ate on the over the lake other hand
had large windows and an extended door, to show their wealth and sophistication. There was a balcony where the musicians tunefully soothed their Debbie explores opulent guests the grotto below. The class difference is clearly visible. There is a Great Chamber, an inner private room with even higher ceilings, where only the very important guests were invited. Sadly, The Civil War destroyed the building in 1644. There is a new castle nearby, but this magnificent building was left to stand as a romantic ruin for all to admire and now belongs to English Heritage. The Grotto in the secluded gardens is inspiring. Totally man-made in 1792 by Josiah Lane of Tisbury and his father. With nooks and crannies to explore by both the young and the old. There are seats of stone, stalactites and stalagmites, rocks, algae, ivy and an atmosphere. Love it. I can see why Kevin Costner came here to film “Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves”! That would have been exciting to see. Daichi was as proud as punch that we had so much fun. Nothing like a bit of history to keep the wheels turning… and Daichi certainly likes to do just that! Where will he take us next? By Debbie Corney

Parkstone Detachment: Dorset Army Cadet Force Looking for something for your child to do in the evening that is exciting and active? Interested in making new friends, building confidence, First Aid, Football, Kayaking, Duke of Edinburgh, Shooting and Fieldcraft? Then come meet us on Mondays and Thursdays from 7:15pm-9:30pm on Weymouth Road, Parkstone, BH14 0DS. Email Ross Wheeler-Clayton for more information on 7329wheele@armymail. mod.uk The ACF will provide you with a FREE uniform and there are NO weekly fees, you just need to be aged 12-18 years old! Parkstone and Christchurch Detachment strapped on their skis and headed towards the slopes at Snowtrax in Christchurch. For many this was their first time skiing so we covered the basics of gliding with some taking the extra challenge of going through hoops. Despite the initial nerves of trying something new, everyone persevered and had an enjoyable evening. Hopefully this has opened up new possibilities when it comes to Duke of Edinburgh activities and CCAT courses. Shortly after, SI Bex Harrison and Cadet Sjt Erin Blake attended Dorset ACF HQ in Dorchester to complete their First Aid at Work qualification. The students of the course were taught how to perform CPR, deal with bleeding, choking, Skiing at Snowtrax
anaphylactic shock, and broken bones along with many other health issues. With this new valuable knowledge skillset, SI Harrison and Sjt Blake can now potentially save a life and are now Sjt Erin Blake being able to deliver promoted to CSjt First Aid lessons and assess Cadets undertaking their First Aid tests. Also this month, we enjoyed a presentation from Regular Service Personnel from Bournemouth Army Careers Office. The evening involved careers information, command tasks and other fun activities. At the end of the evening, Serjeant Erin Blake was promoted to Colour Serjeant (CSjt) by the Company Commander, Captain Dom Brooks. Capt Brooks said that Blake embodies the ACF motto which is ‘To inspire to Achieve’ because her continued dedication and success resonates and inspires others to perform their best. Well done CSjt Blake, I am a very proud Detachment Commander. Think what we do with our Cadets is great and want to be a part of it? Then email 7329wheele@armymail.mod.uk for more information. I would like to thank the Publishers of The Poole Directory for giving me the opportunity to share the news about Parkstone Detachment, Army Cadet Force. SI Wheeler-Clayton, Detachment Commander

GUIDE Carrots
There is absolutely nothing like a carrot pulled fresh from the ground... ...that wonderful smell, which soon disappears and is never apparent in shop bought ones and the taste of that sweet orange root can only be achieved by growing your own. They can be sown from March to July and can be grown in containers at least 12 inches deep. Like any plant with a long tap root, carrots do not like being transplanted so should be sown directly into the soil where they are to grow. They are happiest in light, rather sandy soil so if you have heavy clay, you should add plenty of sharp sand (not builders sand) Germination won't be so good if the soil hasn't warmed up and it's best to sow the seed into well prepared soil that has already been watered. It is important to sow the seed as thinly as
possible, which isn't easy as the seed is so small. Try mixing it with a handful of sand which stops the seed from sticking together and makes it easier to see where they're going. However careful you are, the seedlings will probably need thinning at least once to give the carrots room to swell. This operation is best carried out in the evening as carrot fly can be a problem, particularly in early summer when they lay their eggs around the roots) They are attracted by the smell of disturbed plants and thinning’s should be moved away immediately. Try growing chives, onions or garlic around the carrots to mask the smell or you could put fleece (available from garden centres or some hardware shops) over the carrots after sowing.

Plant of the month Snowdrop
The first sight of a snowdrop is always such a treat. With their delicate drooping heads, rich green leaves and stems, they burst their way into the garden with a quiet vigour that brightens up even the gloomiest of corners. Snowdrops come in a variety of shapes and sizes but whichever type has bloomed you’ll be sure to identify it as a Snowdrop. Pick a few stems and pop the posy into an egg cup ‘vase’ - you’ll enjoy a beautiful sweet scent like honey in the room. They enjoy a well-drained spot in light shade similar to their natural woodland habitat.

It’s the season for Spring cleaning – and spring servicing too! As the days lengthen and the weather improves, it’s time to prepare your car for the new season. Leading independent service Star Tech in Poole has the technology and experience to help keep your car healthy all year round. Spring is a great time to tackle those niggly jobs and make sure things are shipshape at home – and here at Star Tech, we believe the exact same approach should be applied to our cars as well. After a winter driving in wet, cold conditions on salted or gritted roads, this is a perfect time to service your vehicle. Thanks to our experienced technicians, with their superior knowledge of Mercedes, BMW, Mini and Smart cars, and our purpose fitted service centre equipped with the latest specialist tools, with us you can be completely confident of a thorough and professional job.
As well as having professional help, there is also some essential maintenance that you can be doing yourself. Neglecting fluid levels, such as engine coolant and oil, can spell doom for your car, so check you have the correct amount. It’s a straightforward job that only takes seconds to do.
It’s also essential to ensure your tyres are kept at the recommended pressure range. Tyres can quickly become deflated (especially in wetter weather) due to the constant friction with the road. This can lead to the uneven wearing of the tread and costly replacements. If you’ve been using winter tyres, now is a good time to We can provide all major and minor change to all-season tyres for the services plus MOT checks, repairs spring and summer. and diagnostics.
