Statement Statham Actor Jason Statham on an all-action career that continues to thrive. Jason Statham returns to our screens in 2021 with one, perhaps two new movies. Spy 2 – the follow-up to the 2015 original – is testament to the actor pursuing a more comedic line of drama as he moves into his ﬁfties, while Wrath of Man delivers a steely, police-driven drama that sees our main man fully back in combat mode. “This is what I do, and I’m proud of that,” he says. “I keep myself in shape, I deliver in my roles and I move on to the next thing. “I will always commit fully to a project, which is why I’ve always done my own stunts over the years. I think if you’re going to be that person and that character, then embrace it fully.” For so long, Statham has been the perfect blend of smouldering, moody, conﬁdent and confrontational. He has styled his own persona very much around the types

of characters he plays in Hollywood blockbusters. Yet whether a gun-toting criminal on the streets of London, a Bond-esque spy circumnavigating the globe, or simply the man who performs wheelspins better than even Vin Diesel, Statham, who is married to model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, is constantly striving for the next big one. Yet would he ever stray away from the action genre… could he ever perhaps entertain something as leftfield as, say, a period drama? “Listen, the guys who put that stuff together make very good films,” he laughs. “I mean, the attention to detail is incredible, and the scriptwriting is on another planet. I just don’t know if they’re going to offer me a part in one of those films! “That said, I don’t have the refusal wall up for anything, I’m

open to all quality stuff, if somebody wants to send a great romantic comedy my way, I’ll be the first to read it.” So it seems that Statham the action man will continue for a good while longer. “That’s just the type of actor I am. I would struggle to do the cerebral, emotional stuff – that’s not to say I’m not like that at home, and around the people I love, but it’s true, I do have a certain image on film now and I’m happy with that.” It’s an image brought about by his father’s incredible encouraging spirit, and harnessed through his attempts to qualify for the Olympics as an expert diver. “I came third in three Olympic trials, I came close. So close. Every board qualifies the first two divers so I was just short three times.” The fact he has excelled in a totally different profession is not just consolation, but testament to Statham’s drive to achieve. Job done.

Classic Novels For You... Continued! The aim of this series of articles is to encourage you to read (or re-read) some fascinating books.

Reading classic novels will enrich you in ways that you might not expect. The last time I read this edition’s novel, I was not living in Dorset. Reading it recently, I was intrigued by following the author’s map to compare it with places I now know. Returning to novels you read years ago or stories you have seen on film gives you the best of both worlds – familiarity and yet discovery. There will be discovery, I can assure you. One definition of what makes a classic is that it has never exhausted all it has to say to its readers. Your discovery may be about places or different times, but it may also develop your understanding of people, either those you know or those you have heard of but never met – like the villains, hopefully. The classics will improve your concentration, challenging your brain – getting it thinking, without being any burden. At the same time, you will be relaxing. So make a habit of patient reading! You will also be free of the toxic stew of rage, indulgence and celebrity that is the mass media of today. The classics will also help if you are yourself writing your autobiography or your own short stories or novels. Reminder: if your edition has an Introduction, ignore it - at least until you have finished the book. Introductions are great if you want to study the novel in academic detail, but this series is not aimed at that objective. Just read to enjoy! 14

Silas Marner

I really hope you enjoyed this novel. • In what ways was Silas an unusual male hero? • Some critics see this novel as a fairy tale. What do you think? • Would Eppie have had a better life under the caring system of adoption we have today? Makes you wonder, does it not? Try more George Eliot: The Mill on the Floss or, if you feel up to it, Middlemarch, thought by many the greatest English novel.

My fourth suggestion Now for something very close to home. Without giving too much away, I can tell you that in the climax the characters pass through the Ringwood area en route for ... No, that would give something away. Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the D’Urbervilles makes a fascinating read. For instance, life in the early nineteenth century as a milkmaid is not something any of us really know about, and yet the comparison with life today makes for intriguing reading. So read the short first chapter and think about these questions before you continue: • What theme is Hardy introducing here? • Why does Tess’s father’s reaction to the news strike you as ominous? • What expectations do you have about Tess before you even meet her? Many find Hardy difficult, but try Tess because it is one of the easiest of his books to become involved in and understand. There is so much to gain from reading it.

Understanding Investments:

What are investments and why should you own them? Interest rates are at all time lows. Cash accounts and NS&I savings are paying under 1% per annum, and fixed rate bonds are offering significantly lower rates on maturity. At the same time inflation is rising, being fuelled by pent up demand, low inventories, rising commodity and oil prices and restricted supply. Inflation is the most topical concern right now with some viewing recent rises as temporary, and others concerned inflation could remain high. Taking away all the views and noise, the fact remains that for retirees on a fixed income, inflation is and always has been the greatest threat to a comfortable retirement. I call it “The Silent Assassin” because at 3% per annum, prices double every 24 years. What can you do to counter these challenges? Cash/NS&I: These provide security and liquidity, albeit at low returns. Sufficient cash should be retained for any expenditure within the next 3-5 years, plus a buffer for emergencies. By keeping sufficient cash, it allows money that is invested for a sufficient time to do the job you want it to do without needing to access it. Investment Asset Classes: Fixed interest bonds are low risk and earn interest that should exceed cash savings rates. However, they don’t increase with inflation and the capital value can go down if interest rates rise or on reduced demand. Inflation linked bonds offer interest and capital appreciation in line with inflation, although the purchase prices can go up and down depending on demand, usually linked to the outlook for inflation. Property has the ability to generate an income, and the capital value can appreciate in value over time, so property can be a good hedge against inflation. However, it is less liquid and can go through periods of decline. Shares or funds that invest in shares allow you to own small pieces of companies. Well run companies should increase their profits each year

and you receive a share of those profits by payment of a dividend, or Howard Goodship by the company reinvesting those profits and growing them further. Over time, share prices are linked to the company profits so if profits are rising, so should the dividends and value of the shares. In the short-term, the share price can fluctuate up and down significantly with demand and investor sentiment. These can provide some inflation protection. Multi-Asset Portfolios: We focus on managing investment volatility to ensure that we achieve a relatively consistent return for your investments - trying to capture rising markets and to avoid the worst of falling markets. This is normally achieved by spreading your portfolio across a wide range of assets and carefully researched investments and managing this blend through ongoing reviews. Not all asset classes or investment strategies move in the same direction at the same time. We ensure your portfolio is spread across a wide range of investments that tend to behave differently to one another, smoothing out the peaks and troughs of investing for you. The key to a successful retirement in financial terms can be to own a balance of cash and riskcontrolled investments. The optimal balance will depend on your personal lifestyle, sensitivity to fluctuations in the value of your capital and your timescale. If you’d like to learn more or discuss your personal situation, we would be delighted to meet for a free, no obligation initial chat.

QUIRKY FACTS by Mica Bale The sun is shining, the paddling pool is out and summer is in the air. Aren’t you glad that you decided to enjoy a well deserved staycation this year! Where could be better than to enjoy (hopefully) never ending days in the sun than in beautiful Dorset, with its refreshing coastlines and quintessential landscapes? Not to mention a handful of fascinating and historical facts from around the country to enjoy with a glass of something or other!

Have you visited the iconic Sculptures by the Lake? Ideal for some well-earned relaxation and peace, the aptly named Sculptures by the Lake are exactly that, a collection of unusual and relaxation-inducing sculptures. Today, the quirky visitor attraction is a haven for many, complete with a varied array of trees and plant life as well as a PHOTO: NICK FEWINGS gallery and cafe and of course the artistic sculptures, the Sculptures by the Lakes behold a peaceful ambience.

Did you know that Highcliﬀe Castle was born after one of the founders of Kew Gardens, the 3rd Earl of Bute, John Stuart, was out collecting and studying the local Dorset botany and happened upon the glorious view over Christchurch Bay? Upon catching sight of the inspirational scenery, he promptly commissioned renowned Scottish architect Robert Adam to design the castle to create his dream coastal home and later Capability Brown was also employed. 26

PHOTO: NICK FEWINGS

three The pretty village of Bere Regis is well known for its interesting history however were you aware that the local football team is thought to be, not only among the oldest in the country but also even in the entire world?

Did you know that Keyneston Mill, located in Blandford Forum, is one of the, if not the very largest private botanic gardens in the country? This remarkable 50-acre working estate is home to Parterre Fragrances and more than one thousand plants are grown for the purpose of creating beautiful perfumes. Although the botanic gardens are grown f or perfume, Keyneston Mill is also open to the public to enjoy with workshops, a cafe, scented garden tours and even special cinema evenings. Whilst the Dorset coast is arguably one of the most beautiful in Britain, Weymouth Harbour and its surrounding coastline is well accustomed to Shipwrecks and tragedy. In fact, one shipwreck in particular is regarded as the most famous, The Earl of PHOTO: MATT LILLYWHITE Abergavenny was a large East Indian Company ship. Tragically the ship had left Portsmouth just days before before running into the treacherous Shambles oﬀ the Isle of Portland before ﬂoundering in Weymouth Bay on the 5th February 1805. Thankfully more than a hundred people were rescued but not before 263 lost their lives, just a mile and half from land, including the Captain, notably Capt. John Wordswoth, brother of the poet William Wordsworth.

Have you heard the news? Hearing loss affects very many of us at some stage in our lives. We often try to ignore it, or deny it but the truth is it can be very frustrating, not only for the person with hearing loss, but also for their friends and family. Fortunately, it is frequently very straight forward to resolve. Local audiologist Heather Cowell says “In some cases a reduction in hearing can be down to something as simple as a buildup of ear wax. For others fitting a pair of the latest, tiny hearing devices can be a life changing moment.”

Heather has been serving the health needs of the local community for more than 30 years both as a practice nurse at the local GP surgery and, for the past 10 years, as a hearing healthcare professional. Her new business 2County Hearing, set up with her audiologist husband Simon, aims to offer a truly personal service for all things hearing related. Appointments are available at their new centre in Verwood and they are delighted to offer a home visit service within a 15 mile radius. Call Heather today on 01202 985500.
