Museum celebrates 70 years of fun and festivities in Dorset The new exhibition at the Museum of East Dorset celebrates seven decades of fun and festivities in the local area. Inspired by Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee year, the exhibition examines how local people have observed important local and national events since 1952. The exhibition, opening 4 April, will run until March next year. Celebrating local events Members of the community were invited to contribute to the exhibition by sharing stories, reminiscences, photographs and memorabilia. Celebrations include the Queen’s coronation and jubilees, local carnivals held at Wimborne and Verwood, ‘The Magpies’ (Wimborne Town FC) historic win in the FA Vase final in 1992, and how we marked the millennium. East Dorset towns and villages including Wimborne, Verwood, Witchampton and Shapwick have contributed photographs and artefacts. During 2022, the museum will celebrate other special events including 400 years of Dorset button making and the museum’s 60th birthday. The celebratory theme will be carried through to different parts of the museum, including the garden, the shop and the Tea Room. The museum’s Little Explorers activities over the

summer will include various themed events. Celebrating people Community organisations were invited to create celebratory pennants to represent their groups. These pennants will be displayed in the new exhibition after Easter. The museum has launched a ‘Celebrating Ourselves’ portrait competition inviting local school children to become a part of history and also feature in the exhibition. Children have been asked to create a portrait of themselves as their ‘best selves’ be they artists, scientists or Youtubers. There will be a winner from each age group (KS1, KS2, KS3 and KS4) and portraits will be displayed in May. Celebrating nature Children will also be able to celebrate nature in the museum’s garden by creating ‘Andy Goldsworthy’ inspired pieces of art from a range of natural materials provided. They will be able to take pictures of their art and post them on social media. Chezzie Hollow, Museum Director, said: “This exhibition is very much inspired by, and created with, the local community. For the first time, visitors will be able to ‘experience’ different exhibition elements across the whole site as well as in the exhibition gallery. Interactive elements encourage people to share their own favourite celebration memories, try different scents to discover what a celebration smells like to them, and enjoy party hits from the past 70 years. The exhibition is family friendly and is a fantastic opportunity for all ages to experience the museum in a new way”.

Can’t stop Driis He’s an acclaimed actor, DJ and director, so naturally Idris Elba needs to stay in shape to keep up with his relentless schedule. Not one to do things by halves however, the charming 49-year-old reveals why no challenge will ever be big enough. Idris Elba wants his epitaph to read: “This guy reminds me of the things that I want to be doing but I’ve not done yet - because he never sat still.” It also happens to be his life motto and explains his powerful and pressing desire to grab life by the throat and pack as much as he can into his time here. “I’m someone who has a hard time staying still, I’m always in a restless state,” Elba admits. “People often have dreams and desires but wind up just thinking about them instead of going out and doing them. I need to feel like I’m always moving forward and doing as much as I can instead of just wondering about it. That’s why I love throwing myself

into as many different characters and stories as I can and living out different adventures. You just need the will to go out and do it!” That logic explains why the London-born star continues to tread a varied and experimental path with the choices he makes. From TV drama, with the perennially successful Luther, which he is currently ﬁlming and will return this year, along with outward bound movie Beast, last year’s spectacular Suicide Squad, and even animated voiceover work in the new Sonic the Hedgehog movie; if a project excites him, he’ll do it. And when not on ﬁlm sets, the handsome Hackney native loves to stare danger square in the face. For his 2015 Discovery channel show, Idris Elba: No Limits, he took part in drag racing, broke a land speed record and stepped into the ring as a professional kickboxer. “Some guys want

to be toned or want to jog for miles, but my ultimate fitness goal is to be fight-ready.” When it came to the actual fighting – as chronicled in Idris Elba: Fighter – Elba ended up outdone by more skilled fighters, yet the experience came with a valuable lesson. “I changed my diet and my fitness routine completely – I feel I have much more energy now eating mainly fish, chicken, lots of fresh vegetables and salads… things like that,” he says. “That’s a big deal for me because, while I don’t fear getting old, I certainly don’t want to give in to it. I feel I still have a lot more to give – professionally, physically, mentally – and I think all men of my age and older should believe the door remains open to achieve whatever they want. “You’re only here once… so prolong it!”

A Design for Life… The Kevin McCloud Column Designer, writer and television presenter, Kevin McCloud leapt into our consciousness with his vastly successful Grand Designs show on Channel 4. This month, the affable architectural business owner talks about his background running a lighting design company. When I got my break in television, I was running a lighting design company. It wasn’t easy, but I always carried with me a driving passion for the subject. My work on Grand Designs and a few other things has taken me away from the subject, and I am perhaps not the expert I once was when it comes to lighting, as now my expertise is spread rather more across whole-of-whole elements, but I do think any outdoor space can look absolutely spectacular with garden lights. It’s something that’s only really become commonplace over

the past couple of decades, thanks in no small part to some very costeffective imports from abroad. I love lights that resemble fireflies dancing on your rose bushes, or glowering lamps that mimic the dying embers of the barbeque as the warm night stretches out before you, glass of rosé in hand. Fairy lights are an obvious and easy choice to brighten up an outdoor space; just make sure they are the waterproof kind purchased from a garden centre, not leftovers from the Christmas tree. Designs these days come in an array of colours and styles, from dragonflies to lanterns and teardrops, and are ideal to adorn arches, fences and trees. To light up paths and flowerbeds, solarpowered stake lights are best.

They dig into the dirt, are almost invisible as they charge during the day, then transform into glimmering jewels at night. If you’re the kind of person who opts for a ﬁre pit over a fancy gas barbecue, there’s a good chance you’ll want your outdoor decorations to be equally primal. Lanterns are a fantastic way to instantly add a touch of class, whether Scandinavianstyle tin or mosaic Moroccan glass, while outdoor candles in buckets are a budget option, and anything with citronella scent will also deter bugs. For a festival feel, you can’t beat bamboo Tiki torches that are lit using oil, because sometimes, only ﬁre will do. Whatever outdoor space you are looking to light up, less is generally more, and the subtleties will shine through the darkness if you allow them.

Understanding Investments:

Planning to retire within the next 10 years? For many people, life is an act of juggling competing financial demands. However, this can often change mid-40’s to mid-50’s when children may have grown up and become financially independent, debts including the mortgage have been reduced or cleared and you are in your peak earning years. This is when thoughts may turn to the next major change in your life-retirement! Realising there are only 10 years or less to maximise savings, clients often tell me it’s time to “get serious” about financial planning and want to ensure they retain as much of their earnings as possible and minimise the tax they pay to save more. They also want to understand “how much is enough” and have a plan to enable them to retire at a time of their choosing. I’ve listed below some of the key information required to help create a plan. 1. Understand what loans (including mortgage) are outstanding, what interest is being charged and when they are due to be repaid. It is important to be debt free at retirement, albeit there are number of ways to achieve that depending on your personal tax situation. 2. Obtain a state pension projection to understand what you will be entitled to and when. This can be obtained online via the Government website and will be a valuable source of inflation-protected income at the state pension age. It is possible to top this up with lump sum payments if you haven’t been credited with the full 35 years of National Insurance contributions. 3. Obtain projections from any Defined Benefit Pensions. These can also provide future inflation-protected income and the date they are due to commence will vary depending on scheme rules. 4. Quantify your personal assets which include cash, investments and property. Understand

what your investments such as ISAS and Pensions Howard Goodship are invested in, what you are paying in charges and to what level of risk they are exposed. Is this too low or too high or just right, based on when you plan to retire. Do your pension plans allow full pension freedom flexibility in the way you can access income in retirement (FlexiAccess Drawdown, UFPLS, Annuities)? Once you understand your current position, you need to quantify how much you will need to have accrued by the time you want to retire. Often people want to retire before the state pension age or need more income than the state provide, so how do you save enough to meet those gaps? What is the most tax-efficient way to save? Any plan also needs to incorporate inflationfor example inflation at 3% per annum (long term average) means expenses in retirement could double every 24 years. We utilise specialist cash-flow tools to answer all these questions and help clients plan for their retirement. Once in retirement, we help them maximise their lifestyles by showing them whether their retirement “wish-list” is affordable and if so, encouraging them to do things whilst they are fit and able. 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.

Money on my mind...the Martin Lewis column He’s the UK’s leading money saving expert - a journalist and presenter who has kept millions of pounds in people’s pockets as well as lifting the lid on the threats and dangers we need to be aware of as consumers. In this month’s column, Martin Lewis looks at taking ﬁnancial responsibility for ourselves in these post-pandemic days. What the Coronavirus pandemic has given us, probably more than any point in the past 50 years, is an idea that we can turn to a bank, or the government, or a charity, for help and support. And I won’t deny that, in some examples, these entities have stood up and there has been a feeling of support and community. Yet I think we all realise that can only go so far. We have now emerged out of the darkness of the pandemic, and slowly but shortly the directive is that we have to fend for ourselves again. I don’t doubt some support remains, but I wouldn’t expect it to last forever.

The average food waste bill in the UK still stands at around £750 per year, and that’s horrendous. Remember the difference between Use By and Best Before, and it will save you hundreds each year. If you have any packaging that has a date on it, if it’s after that date, lots of people just sling the food. Well, let’s remember – Use By is a health notice to you. If something is beyond its Use By date, you need to chuck it in the bin. Best Before is the manufacturer’s guide to optimum quality. All it means is that the item will be

in its best possible condition before this date. The day after a Best Before, it’s still perfectly legitimate to eat. With some canned goods, it’s still perfectly okay to eat them three or four years after the Best Before date. So, use your nose to smell it, use your eyes to look at it, use your senses to decide whether it’s right for you. Just by diminishing that, and by having a decent shopping list and proper menu planning, you will cut down waste. That’s not just good for your pocket, but also good for the environment.

I think we are all living slightly differently now, and certainly in wake of food shortages during the ﬁrst lockdown, I have seen much greater understanding and willingness of people to feed their families more responsibly.

Dorset Wildlife Trust upgraded barn owl webcam is now live The barn owl webcam at the Lorton Meadows nature reserve near Weymouth is now live on the Dorset Wildlife Trust website giving wildlife lovers in Dorset and around the world the opportunity to tune in live at any time of day or night to follow the progress of a pair of resident barn owls nesting and raising their chicks. This year, viewers are able to watch the owls in colour and much higher definition thanks to the new upgraded webcam which was installed in the nesting box at the beginning of the season. Over the past few years, tens of thousands of viewers have followed the progress of the barn owls and witness firsthand their intriguing behaviours, including preening, mating and eating, and hear their characteristic chittering, screeching or hissing, all live via the webcam. With the breeding season now upon us, the pair have already produced four eggs and there may well be more to follow.Webcam followers can comment on the dedicated barn owl webcam facebook page @DWTBarnOwlWebCam to share what they’ve seen and help build a picture of how the pair are getting on. A great way for webcam viewers and wildlife lovers to help protect these majestic but declining birds in Dorset is to adopt a barn owl online through the Dorset Wildlife Trust website. The adoption pack includes a certificate of adoption and a fascinating sheet of barn owl facts, for just £15. The proceeds will help ensure barn owls across the county continue to benefit from good quality habitat, through Dorset Wildlife Trust’s conservation work on nature reserves and engagement with the local community and farmers. Barn owls hunt rodents such as voles, shrews and mice in rough grassland, but much of this habitat has been lost due to increased pressures on the countryside from

development and food production, contributing to their widespread decline. Emily Newton, Dorset Wildlife Trust’s Landowner Liaison Officer said: “The new upgraded webcam is giving us the opportunity to see the barn owls so much more clearly and it’s very exciting to be able to view this pair already settling into their nest. We are very much hoping that they will successfully breed this year - the rougher grassland fields at Lorton Meadows provide plentiful supplies of food such as field vole to help them to rear their young. Other rough grassland sites in Dorset will also support prey for the barn owls, in Dorset we work with farmers and advise them to manage grass margins and field corners to increase hunting habitat for species such as owls.” Our thanks go to to Wildlife Windows for installing and maintaining the new camera. Streaming these majestic creatures wouldn’t be possible without their support. To watch the barn owls live now, visit: www.dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/ wildlifewebcam.

ELLIE’S SMILE Ellie’s family were torn apart by the devastating news that their beautiful, smiley baby girl had an aggressive brain tumour. At five weeks, Ellie developed what looked like a bee sting on her underarm. Her mood changed and she became erratic rather than her usual smiley self. Ellie had a tumour on her brain. She had an operation during which she suffered a stroke, which left her partially-sighted and with no movement down her right side. She was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer and underwent chemotherapy. “We were exhausted,” says Ellie’s mum, Jenna. “Julia’s House was mentioned to us and we were very stand-offish at first

because of the word hospice. But then when we started coming home with Ellie a bit more, we realised we needed support.” Ellie had a scan just before her first birthday and it was good news. The chemo was working. “The break we get from Julia’s House has been such a relief,” says Jenna. “Ellie has care at home and at the hospice, she loves it! We can have time with Ellie’s brother, Tom. They have helped us through the worst of times.” Ellie has regular scans to check on her cancer.

Far-flung action This month, a voyage back into the world of ﬁction, with a selection of books that can whisk us away to far-oﬀ places Book Lovers by Emily Henry (May 3rd) Book Lovers comes from the pen of New York Times bestselling author Emily Henry, and follows the tale of Nora Stephens, who has a life ensconced in books. She has read them all, but the only people Nora is a heroine for are her clients and beloved little sister Libby. That’s why she agrees to go to Sunshine Falls for the month of August when Libby begs her for a sisters’ trip away. With visions of a small-town transformation for Nora, who she’s convinced needs to become the heroine in her own story, she encounters not picnics in meadows, but Charlie Lastra, a bookish brooding editor from back in the city. It would be a meet-cute if not for the fact that they’ve met many times and it’s never been cute.

A Lady’s Guide to Fortune Hunting by Sophie Irwin (May 12th) A Lady’s Guide to Fortune Hunting is a smart tome from Sophie Irwin – a debut novel from the London-based author that combines intelligence with craft. In the plot, lead character Kitty Talbot needs a fortune. Or rather, she needs a husband who has a fortune. This is 1818 after all, and only men have the privilege of seeking their own riches. With only 12 weeks until the bailiffs call, launching herself into London society is the only avenue open to her, and Kitty must use every ounce of cunning and ingenuity she possesses to climb the ranks. Can she secure a fortune and save her sisters from poverty? There is not a day to lose and no one – not even a lord – will stand in her way...

not just the imagination of the book-reading public, but screenplay writers as well, and is already being adapted into a movie.

You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty by Akwaeke Emezi (June 2nd) Akwaeke Emezi’s You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty is a deeply heartfelt romance novel about a woman named Feyi who eases back into the dating scene after an accident killed the love of her life ﬁve years prior. The book has courted

“After spending most of my teenage years buried in romance novels, I always wanted to write one myself,” Emezi told Entertainment Weekly in a recent interview. “You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty is a love letter to the brave choices we make in the name of love, the costs we pay for it, and the glory of the reward at the end.”

Read2Dogs Scheme Provided by Pets As Therapy (PAT) The Read2Dogs scheme helps to improve literacy skills and wellbeing in young people by developing their confidence, interest and enjoyment in reading. Some students feel incredibly nervous and stressed when asked to read aloud, regardless of whether they’re in a classroom or having a one-to-one session with a teacher. When a PAT Dog visits a school, their presence

can boost a young person’s motivation and morale. Dogs are non-judgemental and great listeners - they don’t interrupt or correct - so they aid confidence and concentration levels. PAT Dogs are also known to encourage positive social behaviours, enhance self-esteem and inspire young people to relax and have fun. Animal-assisted therapy can be used by teachers, SENCo, psychologists and speech and language therapists to benefit a young person’s physical, emotional and psychosocial health, cognitive function and communication skills. To find out more about volunteering with Pets As Therapy or to request a PAT Dog visit to your school visit the Pets As Therapy website: www.petsastherapy.org

Hugh FearnleyWhittingstall’s Pear & Almond Cake Introduction

This soft, dense, almondy cake can be served warm for pudding with lashings of cream, or cold with a cup of tea or coffee. Firm Conference pears should work a treat here.

Method 1. Preheat the oven to 170°C/325°F/gas mark 3. Grease a 20cm diameter, springform cake tin and line the base with baking parchment. 2. Put a saucepan over a medium heat and add 25g of the butter. When it’s sizzling, add a tablespoon of sugar and stir until it dissolves. Add the pear quarters and fry in the buttery caramel for ﬁve to ten minutes, until they start to brown and soften (the time taken will vary greatly, depending on how ripe the pears are). Put to one side to cool a little.

3. Put the remaining butter and sugar in a mixing bowl and cream together until light and ﬂuffy. Beat in the two eggs, one at a time. Whizz the whole blanched almonds (if using) in a food processor for about a minute, to grind them. Tip them into the cake batter (or add the readyground almonds), then sift in the self-raising ﬂour and fold in gently. Scrape the mixture into the prepared tin. Arrange the pieces of pear on top of the cake.

4. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until a knife pushed into the centre comes out clean. Place the tin on a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or cold.

Ingredients (serves 6) • 175g unsalted butter, softened • 125g caster sugar, plus 1 tbsp • 3 pears, ﬁrm but not too hard, peeled, cored and quartered • 2 eggs • 75g whole blanched almonds or ground almonds • 75g self-raising ﬂour

Increasing numbers of homeowners are choosing to hold their properties as tenants in common to reduce inheritance tax and help protect their share from care fees The Property Protection Trust Will package is based around how you hold the ownership of your home. All good estate planning nowadays considers the difference between owning your home as joint tenants or as tenants in common. If you own your home as Joint Tenants; when one of you dies the ownership of the home passes by the Law of Survivorship and not by your Will. Therefore, the surviving partner will automatically own 100% of the property. This sounds right to most people. BUT should the surviving partner need care in the future, the Local Authority can take everything they own (including their home) to pay for the care fees, leaving just £14,250 to be inherited by children and grandchildren.

There is an alternative.

Nowadays many couples choose to own their home as Tenants in Common where each partner will own 50% of the family home. This provides for many benefits. Firstly, it allows you to legally leave your share of the property in your Will to whoever you wish. A properly written Will can ensure that your half of your house will eventually pass to your children even if your widow re-marries. Unmarried cohabiting couples or relatives living together can also use this means of ownership as a way of minimising their Inheritance Tax exposure. It can also help with long-term care costs. If one of you is still living in your home the Local Authority can’t include its value in the means test if one of you has to go in to long-term care. This also applies if the husband or wife still living at home dies while the other is in care as their share will go into the trust.

Greenfingers… the Alan Titchmarsh column He’s a brilliant presenter, accomplished gardener, talented novelist and all-round horticultural inspiration. This month, Alan Titchmarsh talks about the impact his iconic Ground Force series had on the nation. I get asked a lot about Ground Force, the TV programme I fronted for ﬁve years from 1997, and the impact it made on gardening, as a whole. To be honest, I don’t like to talk up my achievements too much, but I will admit this was one of the real successes I will always look back on with fondness. That’s not so much for any personal reasons, and I certainly don’t think my horticultural knowledge was called on in the same way it has been with other gardening shows I’ve done over the years. Instead, the pride I have for Ground Force stems from a place where we managed to start something of an outdoors revolution.

Not only were we at the forefront of a new brand of reality TV (that wasn’t a talent show or a singing contest). It was in people’s homes, in their lives, and focused on the idea that people could come together from all over to make a difference. All the people involved in Ground Force came from different backgrounds and offered very different ideas in the process of transforming a chosen family’s back garden, but it worked. My role was probably one of the easiest – almost just an anchor man pulling the whole thing together, however clumsily! The show’s success provoked a whole raft of other home reality programmes where people’s dreams came true… usually. And I say that on the basis of some of the awkward transformations Changing Rooms embarked on! Yet for the most part, this brand of telly was incredibly successful – think DIY SOS, Property Ladder, Amazing Spaces, Grand Designs, Location Location Location and others. At the heart of it is exploring human nature and putting

ordinary people in extraordinary situations, and seeing how they react. Everyone who agrees to take part is looking for something, and the lucky ones are the ones who ﬁnd it and know when they have found it. After all, our gardens will never be absolutely perfect places – nature sees to that – but Ground Force certainly got them close to that for a time. As the TV crews departed, I would always suggest to the homeowners they should just sit in or look out over their garden without feeling conditioned to keep it in a certain way. Life isn’t like that – it evolves, as do our outside spaces, and we should let it. As John Lennon said, “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans”… or tidying the garden!
