At the heart of every Royal Bay Care Home are core values with the emphasis on comfort, compassion, dignity, individuality, personality as well as great food. At Royal Bay our priority is you living your life your way.

Introduction

The Poole Directory Dear Poole Residents,

The children are well and truly back at school and in fact half term is already upon us. How time flies! Nellie has had a very busy time driving us all over the place. She is now resting in the garden before more adventures this autumn. Nellie believes that keeping a young at heart spirit helps all those aches, pains and worries disappear. Do follow her on her journeys and hopefully you can get a copy of her book, “The Adventures of Nellie� which is full of fun puzzles and places to go.

What’s On at Lighthouse, Poole SJM Concerts present

COLLABRO Friday 27 October at 7.30pm (Concert Hall)

Tickets: £99 (VIP), £39.50, £29.50, £19.50 Tickets & information:

01202 280000

Booking Fees: Prices quoted are for tickets booked in person at the Ticket Office. Tickets booked by telephone or online are subject to a booking fee of up to £1.75 per ticket

Following a huge UK sold out tour this year, Britain’s Got Talent winners Collabro bring their third nationwide tour to Lighthouse, Poole’s Centre for the Arts on 27 October.

Collabro are the world’s most successful musical theatre group. They met in 2014 above a pub in London for their first rehearsal and only a month later went on to rouse the whole of the Hammersmith Apollo into a standing ovation during their first ever public performance of Stars in their first audition for Britain’s Got Talent.

Having won their semi-final heat with over 63% of the votes, they then won the overall competition with one of the biggest majorities ever and subsequently signed to Simon Cowell’s label Syco, becoming label mates with the likes of One Direction, Little Mix, Susan Boyle and Il Divo.

Two peaked at number two in the charts in the summer of 2015. They have performed at the Royal Variety Performance, twice on Britain’s Got Talent including the ten-year grand final compilation of past contestants, and have become enormously successful internationally. Notably, they have performed for over 30 million people in Japan on Music Station on two separate occasions, completing a tour and winning a gold disc award for top international artist alongside Sam Smith and Meghan Trainor.

They have also completed two tours of America alongside with a major record deal stateside.

Collabro, now made up of Jamie Lambert, Michael Auger, Matt Pagan and Thomas Redgrave, have already performed to 7 million people on Soccer Aid 2016 to critical appraise and excellent reviews as a four piece. Their third album Home was released in March 2017. www.lighthousepoole.co.uk Collabro

In the two years since the competition, Collabro have released a number one debut album Stars, and their follow up album Act

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 3RROH 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!

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

Joe and Sally arriving in Lymington after 26 miles from Sandbanks

are aiming to raise an incredible £2000 which will make a huge difference to the opportunities that we can make available to local young people in the year ahead.”

If you would like to support Joe and his team in their ‘Marathon Effort’ it’s not too late. Visit their online fundraising page: www.justgiving.com/fundraising/ marathoneffortforJT

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!

Community News

The Lewins of Wimborne & a Lord Mayor of London In October 1919 the Wimborne Minster Parish Magazine referred to a copy of an inscription provided by the local doctor and historian Dr Le Fleming. It was from a monument to Sir William Lewin in Ewell Church in Surrey.

It records that he was the son of Robert Lewin of Wimborne. Sir William, it states, held a number of posts in the City of London and in 1717 was chosen as Lord Mayor of London. He performed his duties ‘with integrity and reputation’. His wife, Dame Susannah Lewin, who died on 30 December 1737, is also mentioned on the monument.

The writer had undertaken further research and discovered that Sir William had previously served as Senior Sheriff of London in 1712.

A. Lindsay Clegg’s ‘A History of Wimborne Minster and District’ mentions a Robert Lewen who built the

house known as Lewens in the town in 1654. He had been Wine Steward to Charles II and was a Churchwarden.

A. Lindsay Clegg adds that two Lewen sisters, Amy and Ann, are listed in the records of the church court as recusants.

Anyone named as a recusant in the 16th and 17th centuries had refused to attend Church of England services.

Opening times: 3 Jan-31 Mar and 1 Nov-23 Dec 2017, Mon-Sat 10am-4pm 1 Apr-31 Oct 2017, Mon-Sat 10am-4.30pm For further information and details of additional events please contact the museum on 01202 882533 or visit our website at www.priest-house.co.uk Lewens House on Lewens Lane

Dorset Film Premiere Raises Over £8,000 For Local Sight Loss Charity On Monday 11th September the red carpet was rolled out at The Regent Centre in Christchurch for the Dorset Premiere of the film Victoria and Abdul. This exclusive event was in aid of Dorset Blind Association and was kindly sponsored by Blue Sky Financial Planning. It welcomed a sell out audience of over 300 people and raised a staggering £8,336.00!

The film, starring Dame Judi Dench, is directed by the charitys patron and BAFTA award winner, Stephen Frears. Frears kindly supports the sight loss charity as his son and blind actor, Sam Frears, has benefited from the charitys services for many years attending their social clubs and activities. On release of his last film in 2016, Florence Foster Jenkins, he gave Dorset Blind Association the opportunity to also host their first Dorset Premiere in Bournemouth at The ABC Odeon.

Victoria and Abdul follows the unlikely friendship between Queen Victoria (Judi Dench) and her Indian servant Abdul Karim (Ali Fazal). As their friendship deepens, the queen begins to see a changing world through new eyes, joyfully reclaiming her humanity. The film also

stars Eddie Izzard, Tim Pigott-Smith and Adeel Akhtar.

Helena Sinclair, Events fundraiser from Dorset Blind Association said, ‘We are incredibly overwhelmed by the support we received at our Dorset Film Premiere of Victoria and Abdul. The funds raised for Dorset Blind Association are just phenomenal and will have such a huge impact to our services in the local community. The event would not be possible without the support of our patron, Stephen Frears, our Sponsor Blue Sky Financial Planning, and the fantastic team at The Regent Centre. Thank you to everyone for making the evening so successful.’

If you missed out on this fantastic exclusive event, Dorset Blind Association are hosting their 3rd Masquerade Ball on Saturday 28th October at The Hilton Hotel. Tickets are still available to join the glitz and glamour, only £55 per person includes 3 course dinner, wine, live entertainment plus casino! Contact Helena for more information on 01202 712864 or email helena@dorsetblind.org.uk.

National Lottery grant launches new Rotary maritime project The Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) has just announced it has awarded £9,900 of National Lottery Funding for an innovative new project by the Rotary Club of Poole Bay. Made possible by money raised by National Lottery Players, the project will add a new dimension to the interpretation of Poole’s fascinating maritime history.

“Pirates, Castaways and Codfish” is based on the lives of three influential figures who helped shape the town’s development in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, The project will tell their stories which include: privateering, piracy, smuggling, codfish, colonial settlement, merchant venturing, international trade, war and maritime security, all of which influenced the successful development of the port of Poole.

This new initiative grew out of the original survey undertaken by Poole Bay Rotary to map and record the old alleys of Poole, in order to protect them for future generations.

During this, the Club discovered possible links between three of the alleys and important historical figures in the town’s development: Admiral Sir Thomas Button, Captain John Bennett and Governor Woodes Rogers.

During the 11 months of this new project a variety of volunteers and local organisations will be playing their part, including members of the Rotary Club, Poole Museum staff, students from Bournemouth University, together with staff and students from local schools.

By the end of the project, the Club will have produced new exhibition materials for Poole Museum, a heritage booklet

and self-guided walk, CD/audio visual display together with a range of educational resource materials for use by schools.

The Rotary Club of Poole Bay has been working in and for the local community on a wide variety of projects over the last 33 years. It has raised over £15,000 per year, with members contributing thousands of hours of voluntary service. This new project will build on the established Rotary ‘Five Quays Walk’ developed in 2011.

Don Nutt, the project manager for Poole Bay Rotary commented: “There has already been tremendous interest from local groups to help us tell this story about the development of Poole as an international trading port.

We are looking forward to making this new information easily available in a variety of different forms through this project”.

Nerys Watts, Head of HLF South West said; “Thanks to the money raised by the National Lottery Players, we’re pleased to support this project which will see volunteers play a key role in bringing Poole’s rich maritime heritage to life through the stories of these historical figures.”

Adventures of Nellie

28

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

29 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!

How just 10 minutes on a Whole Body Vibration machine changed my life, disability and my size Shake and Tone Poole opened in August 2014, to offer people just a pinch of the health, fitness and wellbeing benefits that I experienced.

In March 2009, due to a trivial accident where the seat came away from the base.

I twisted to the side and back, landing on an out stretched arm, causing a whiplash injury, damaging the muscles in the back of my shoulder. My spine was slightly out of alignment, affecting my Sacroiliac joint, causing pain and stiffness to my hips. I also had sciatica down the back of my right leg. The bottom right side of my leg was completely numb.

I lived in constant pain, which intensified to an unbelievable level. I was diagnosed with a chronic pain condition and eventually Fibromyalgia?

In spring 2013 after Aqua fit, a friend noticed my pain and suggested I went with her to “Flabs”? As soon as she told me they were vibration machines, I said “NO. I can’t use those. They set my pain off immediately.

My friend explained that even though they are vibration plates, they move completely different to the gyms plates.

These plates oscillate (not linear) and are a passive form of exercise. They are not as intense as the ones in the gym and she believed they would do me some good. I still said no! I didn’t want to take the chance and irritate the nerves more and go through that level of pain and discomfort again. The thought of vibration when you’re in pain, is far from appealing.

In the end my friend pestered me for so long, that I agreed to go.

Was it all worth it? Yes! When we got back to the car, she asked how I felt. I realised I didn’t hurt. I was amazed that after just 10 minutes, my pain had gone. I said, “Oh, I’m in the least pain I have been in for years. I don’t hurt. I can feel where the pain should be, but it doesn’t’ feel like pain, it just feels like a thickness, probably where the muscles have locked up?” Her reply was “You’re also standing up straight”. Which I also hadn’t noticed.

The immediate benefits I received after just that first 10 minute wobble, on an (Oscillating) Whole Body Vibration machine was remarkable to my health, wellbeing and fitness. My pain had gone, although the muscles were tight. My flexibility, mobility and posture was much better and my mood and energy had increased so much, in just a few hours, I felt amazing. I was like my old self for the first time since before my accident. (Thank you Sonya x) Since using an original FLABéLOS machine, my health, fitness and wellbeing has improved so much more. I have also gone from a size 20 to a 14! See our Testimonials page at www.shakeandtonepoole.co.uk. You have nothing to lose, (other than inches!)

Auto Biographies Motoring

Volvo V90 R-Design

By Tim Barnes-Clay, www.carwriteups.co.uk Volvo estates have come a long way since their ‘wardrobe on wheels’ image. We all knew they were safe and comfortable; they just weren’t sexy. That all changed some years ago, and the last V70 looked great; perhaps even better than its saloon sibling, the S80. Then in 2016, the V90 and the booted S90 came along; two stunning cars with more than a hint of sporting appeal woven into the luxury, ride comfort and space that Volvos always offer.

The models have been a success in the short time they’ve been out – but the V90 is the one that most people favour. As an estate car, it’s more practical, even though the Swedish car maker has made the load area slightly smaller than the previous V70’s.

For those who like versatility and don’t want the ‘conservative’ estate car image, Volvo has recently put its R-Design stamp on the V90. This means you can still drive an estate car, but one that looks hunkered down and stimulating. Yes, stimulating – who’d have thought a Volvo could have that effect?

The R-Design flavour has always given Volvos that extra something – it’s made the cars spicier to look at and hotter in the way they handle. The V90 R-Design is a genuine looker – a great piece of artwork all round.

Its kerbside appeal is boosted even further, thanks to its 15mm lowered ride height, silver door mirrors, gloss black grille and flashy 18-inch alloy wheels.

The jazziness continues inside, with semi-electrically operated leather and nubuck sports seats. There are also metal-effect inlays, a vivid LED driver’s display, sports pedals, and illuminated tread plates.

My test car was fitted with the D4 engine, hooked up to an eight-speed automatic gearbox. The D4 is a 2.0litre turbo diesel unit delivering 190PS - a well-judged output for regular commuting. It’s quick enough for most palates, reaching 62mph in 8.5 seconds, but it is prudent, too. If you see over 60mpg from this engine, I wouldn’t be taken aback.

The V90 is refreshing compared with its rear-wheel drive German equals. It’s driven by its front wheels, and is nimbler to wield. The Volvo feels sprightlier, thanks to the weight of the pedals and steering and while this is no small vehicle, it feels far from overwhelming, due to how acquiescent it is.

Because of the R-Design’s lowered, firmer suspension set-up, the V90 R-Design will corner quickly without perceptible body lean. However, the drawback is that there’s no option to alter the suspension on the fly.

Mind you, air suspension can be substituted when you buy the car new, although it will cost you £1,500 for the privilege. On the regular non-R-Design V90s you’re offered a more cushioned ride. But if you’re determined to go for a sporty estate, and don’t mind a lower, firmer system, then the stock V90 R-Design is an excellent choice.
