Roundabout VERWOOD

Issue 199

We have another packed magazine for you to read and use again this month! Our loyal advertisers are here for you. From plumbers, to carpenters, to bathroom and kitchen experts, to dentists, electricians, accountants and hearing specialists. The index at the back gives you all you need to know, to find who you are looking for.

If you have used a local company recently that is not advertising with us and who would like more local promotion, then please tell them all about us. We would love to hear from them. We like to keep our local trades and businesses busy!

In addition to that we have fun puzzles for you to do and interesting articles for you to read. The well-loved TV presenter Alan Titchmarsh talks about the delights of gardening and Grand Designs presenter, Kevin McCloud, talks about his passion for eco-buildings.

Daichi drove us through five counties last month, with a stop in each. What a journey! So, brew yourself a welldeserved cuppa and snuggle up in a cozy chair to have a read.

If you have a local club or society that would like some help or wants to shout about a project you are doing, please give me a call or send an email to localdata@modernmagazines.co.uk.

Let’s help you communicate to your local people.

Big Ben Ben Fogle has made a name for himself across a variety of pursuits, though after a couple of years away from the cut and thrust of extreme adventure, the presenter, explorer and activist is summoning up the courage for a new challenge.

From Ben Fogle’s TV breakthrough on the BBC reality show Castaway 2000 – which saw him marooned on a remote Scottish island with 36 other people for a year – to competing in the six-day, 160-mile Marathon des Sables, to racing across the Antarctic Plateau to the South Pole, to ascending Mount Everest, Ben Fogle has never shied away from a challenge.

Despite living in London for most of his life, Fogle’s passion for the great outdoors has merged with a natural talent for broadcasting to present the 47-year-old with some true lifechanging experiences.

“I love one-off experiences; challenges that take me to mental and physical extremes, and that element of danger where you are pushing yourself to the edge,” he begins.

Asked to name the most

demanding, and Fogle will always point to those experiences at sea.

“It is just an alien environment. At any time, the end is right beneath you and around you,” he says.

“We are not designed as water creatures, so from kayaking to paddleboarding, long-distance swimming and rowing, it’s all a step into a world that isn’t designed for us, but that’s what becomes the great thrill.”

Indies, the pair completed the route in 49 days, 19 hours and eight minutes and were placed second in the pairs.

Fogle has a wholly modest assessment of his nautical feats, one that fails to take into account the greatest of his achievements on water.

That came between 2005 and 2006 when he competed in the Atlantic Rowing Race alongside former British Olympic rower and long-time friend James Cracknell. Travelling from the Canary Islands to the West

“The solitude is something I will always remember from that experience, being out on the high seas,” says Fogle. “I’ve always loved boats and have spent quite a bit of time on them over the years, but never like this of course. Two guys on their own in a small 20ft vessel with no support around them is pretty terrifying, especially when you capsize!”

Switching back to terra firma in TV series such as New Lives in the Wild, Storm City, Animal Clinic and Countrywise, as well as writing a series of travel, fiction and children’s books, Fogle has enjoyed the relative calm of home.

“Life is never dull, but I know I’ll always head back to the oceans,” he says. “They have a spirit all of their own and it’s the passion that draws us back. I love that feeling, so watch this space, I suppose!”

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 architect discusses sustainability and regeneration in our villages, towns and cities.

Right now there’s a whole band of architects who are really trying to evolve a style of architecture that combines futuristic with traditional – both ends of the spectrum. What we’re talking about here is incorporating natural materials with contemporary, so you get an airtight insulated building.

I am a huge advocate of eco buildings, and I think what a lot of people produce – and we have seen many over the years on Grand Designs – are incredible, intelligent, responsible; but you also have to approach the subject with realism. It may look great on the telly, yet as architects and housebuilders we’ve got to be prepared to admit the very extreme eco/traditional wooden, single grass-roofed, claywalled approach to building

14

still represents the minority of those constructed!

I suppose the danger is that we side-line that activity and consider it irrelevant, whereas it’s actually a very important approach. It demonstrates an interest not just in tradition, but in low impact construction.

We all like bling and the government are going to carry on commissioning those big glass towers, but I like to think there will be greater learning and crossovers between disciplines.

go here’, and that’s about as detailed as it gets. It’s appalling, really.

The premise remains very much on townspeople to make the change, and more and more we should be encouraging that. We should really be examining how we revitalise our cities on our terms how we make them viable and sustainable, how we introduce food-growing into cities and towns, how we stimulate creative hubs and leisure facilities.

Once you have that energy coming out of local communities it’s the driver for proper regeneration – that’s how towns like Bruton and Frome regenerated, thanks to one or two individuals making a claim.

What’s interesting is that proper innovation, regeneration and improvement rarely comes from the top down. Think of the strategies that local authorities put together, and they’re all quite generalist… ‘this is going to be a work area, here’s the bus route, and the houses

We need more ways of stimulating not just these local areas and communities, but the way we build those facilities too; we need to encourage people to take the power back, because authorities rarely seem to be able to make progressive decisions themselves.

Understanding Investments: Pension Income Options at and during Retirement Retirement, and the associated ceasing of the ability to earn an income, can be a scary thought and is certainly a huge decision. Understanding the effect of inflation on your income needs throughout retirement (at 3% inflation your expenditure will double over 24 years) and other significant capital requirements needs more than a “finger in the air” analysis. At Lonsdale Wealth Management, we utilize cash-flow planning tools to help clients understand whether retirement is affordable and just as importantly, sustainable.

Once affordability has been identified, decisions on the most effective way to generate retirement income can be made. There are more choices than you might think!

Retirement Income is divided into secure income and flexible income. Secure income would include Defined Benefit Pension Schemes, the State Pension and Pension Annuities. Flexible income includes Pension Drawdown and income from capital and investments, with rental income classed between the two, as it is secure but can be subject to void periods.

You can currently access your defined contribution pension savings any time after age 55 although the minimum age is increasing to 57 in 2028 and will remain 10 years below state pension age thereafter. You have five broad choices and for each option, 25% of your pension savings can be paid tax-free: 1. Secure Income-Annuity Exchange your pension savings for an annuity provided by an insurance company which is then guaranteed for the rest of your life (with options including a dependent’s annuity).

Annuity income is subject to income tax.

2. Secure Income-Temporary Annuity Little known but can be very attractive for those who want to retire early. Can provide a higher guaranteed income for a specific number of years (perhaps until other pensions such as the State Pension commence) to allow

18

the balance of pension funds to remain invested.

Annuity income is subject to income tax.

Howard Goodship

3. Flexi-Access Drawdown Take the income you need when you need it.

The money remains invested and you draw a variable level of income for as long as your money lasts. Withdrawals are subject to income tax.

4. Cash Payment Have all your savings paid as a cash lump sum, with 75% of the fund subject to income tax.

5. Leave it for now There is no requirement to draw your savings from your pension and the fund can be passed down to a nominated beneficiary (and through different generations), often outside of your estate and therefore exempt from Inheritance Tax. The 25% tax free lump sum is lost if not taken during lifetime, but your funds can be paid tax-free on death before 75 (taxable on death after 75).

As you can see, there is now significant choice available and pension savings are another tax advantageous wrapper to consider alongside other tax efficient products including ISAs. We are available for a free initial, no obligation chat to discuss and consider your personal situation, aiming to help achieve the most tax-efficient and sustainable outcome.

Dr Tara offers a free no-obligation consultation to every patient, to discuss their skincare concerns, and tailor a bespoke package of possible treatments.

“We aim to target the signs of skin ageing and skin disease, from the inside out” says Dr Tara, “And we believe passionately that the best way to get glowing, radiant skin is to have healthy skin. We offer a holistic approach combining nutritional and lifestyle advice, with prescription skincare, injectable face and body treatments and other therapies such as Collagen micro needling and enzyme peels”.

T

here is nothing more satisfying for us than hearing a patient say that for the first time in their lives, they feel confident in their own skin”, says Dr Tara Kidd who runs The Skin Clinic Company : a high-end medical skincare clinic, aiming to bring the Harley Street experience to the South of England.

Focusing on the synergy between skin health and advanced procedures, Dr Tara specialises in the latest scientifically based skin and medical aesthetic treatments, from advanced skincare products and facial treatments, to cosmetic injectables and non-surgical skin rejuvenation using medical-grade technology. Dr Tara trained on Harley Street, London and runs her clinic from several clinic locations in London, Winchester and Sandbanks in Dorset. Prior to her career in 24

aesthetics she spent significant time working in specialities such as Dermatology and Surgery before working as a GP. Her work has been featured in numerous magazine articles and online publications, and she also is involved in training other budding aesthetics practitioners.

“Being involved in a patient’s skincare journey is a real privilege”, says Dr Tara. “It can feel very daunting to decide to deal with issues that have affected someone’s self esteem for years. We know that a huge amount of confidence is tied up in our skin and how we look, and whilst we encourage all our patients to embrace their imperfections, and the uniqueness of who we all are, it’s wonderful to be able to help patients who have issues which may have affected their self belief for years.”

To advertise in this magazine, call 01202 894397

Dr Tara personally performs all treatments, unlike some clinics where non medical professionals are offering treatments, and so patients know they are in safe hands of a highly qualified medical professional with an intimate knowledge of facial and body anatomy. With an ever-growing list of new therapies being developed, Dr Tara continually research new treatment options and attends masterclasses and training to ensure she is up to date with the very latest developments and can offer patients the best options.

The clinic offers numerous treatments including • acne treatment • scar and stretch mark revision • wrinkle reduction and other anti-ageing therapies • non surgical facelift • dermal fillers including under eye and jawline contouring • non-surgical rhinoplasty (“nose jobs”) • body contouring • permanent fat dissolving • facial rejuvenation treatments

• Collagen Induction Therapy • microneedling • chemical and enzyme peels… and more!

Dr Tara offer discounts to NHS staff, and brides who wish to plan a bespoke package of skincare in the run up to their big day.

“I would suggest that anyone who has been troubled by the state of their skin, whether it is acne, excess fat that they can’t shift with diet or exercise, or the signs of ageing, should get in touch and see how we can help”, says Dr Tara.

“Radiant, healthy looking skin is possible for all of us, if we approach it in the right way and get the right advice and treatments”.

So for a really personalised, and unique skin care journey, look no further than The Skin Clinic Company.

The Adventures of Daichi

The Modern Magazines Camper Van It has been said that happiness is a journey and not a destination. Well, I have to say that I am never happier than when Daichi is loaded up, and we begin our next adventure. That moment when we take our seats, buckle up, and say, “Ok, what we have forgotten we can either do without, or we will buy when we get there.”

Enough is enough, let’s get going! My ‘story’ this month is all about the journey, the route to and from our destination.

This time we went all the way up to Hull to collect my parents, to take my Dad fishing at Docklow Pools again, one of Dad’s favourite fishing haunts. Mum has dementia, which is very sad and not always easy to live with. Dad needs a break and what better than to take them away, get Mum some fresh air and give Dad some time to catch a few fish. His life-long passion.

The journey there took us over the Humber Bridge! I remember the building of this magnificent, single span construction when I was a girl. It was so exciting to see the massive layers of concrete starting to crawl, step by step, across the waters. I remember looking at it with awe, wondering how on earth it could stay up in the air like that. To me it was magical. You can see that I am no engineer… The Bridge opened in June 1981 and at the time it was the longest

Five generations of family 32

are idyllic. I wrote about these last year and if you are a fisherman, or not, this is a wonderful place in Herefordshire to spend some quiet time surrounded by carp-filled lakes, luscious greenery and serene nature, in a quaint cabin.

Highly recommended.

As I explained at the beginning, this is all about the journey and making the space between one location and the final destination, part of the game. Going home these days can take us hours and hours!

Grandad and his passion! single span Bridge in the world! It was not until 1998 that a Japanese Bridge literally overtook it and now, 40 years later, it is the eleventh longest bridge of its type on this planet. I love driving over it and viewing the enormous River Humber with its brown murky waters flowing below.

To be honest, I don’t think this Bridge has ever really achieved the accolade it deserves.

Arriving in Hull is always a trip down memory lane for me and Daichi likes to skip his way there. Sometimes it is good to look back at ones’ roots, with a bit of nostalgia. After a good night’s sleep, we travelled over the Bridge again to see family who have moved over to East Halton in North Lincolnshire. Houses are so much cheaper here! It is so good to catch up, isn’t it. Long lost cousins, aunts, aunts’ children’s children, in fact five generations in all! The weather was warm, there was a beautiful garden and with a glass of wine in hand and a good old chat, what more can we want! Oh yes, we had quite a laugh too.

Daichi was part of the family and he loved it. His shiny white grin said it all.

Docklow was a great success too. The lakes there

The first stop home was just half an hour down the road, Bringsty Café for breakfast. Dad loves this little place. There is a fantastic bric-a-brac shop there too where this time I bought a new rug for our hallway. All smiles, well fed and a little shopping therapy, we were set for the day.

Next stop was Crickley Hill nestled in the Cotswolds overlooking the Severn Vale with incredible views to the Brecon Beacons and Black Mountains, including Robinswood Hill and May Hill. Just off the A417 in Gloucester, near Birdlip, this was a great find on a previous trip when I was hungry. It is glorious! The views are simply stunning. You can see for miles and gaze at the wonder of our beautiful countryside with a coffee and cake in hand. Owned by the National Trust as well as the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust, it is a haven for birds, plants, insects and wildlife. The walks around this area are just spectacular. My Mum and Dad, who were travelling home with us, were amazed

By the standing stones at Avebury

View from Crickley Hill at what they saw and thoroughly enjoyed our scenic stop.

Back on the road we travelled further South with our final stop at Avebury. Now in the county of Wiltshire with a Neolithic henge monument containing three huge stone circles. We had arrived in prehistoric Britain and a little further back in time, than my memories in Hull - Though getting out of bed in the mornings, it sometimes doesn’t feel so! Stones weighing around 40 tons still standing, majestically, thousands of years later. How incredible and inspiring is that? For contemporary Pagans this is a site of religious importance. What a fascinating place we live in. England is full of delights, sights, nature and indeed family. Daichi allowed us to do so much in just a week.

It was a long round trip from Dorset to East Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, to Herefordshire, back through Gloucestershire, into Wilshire and finally back to Dorset, with a stop in each place. The happiness was certainly in the journey. It was spent with family, making it all the more special.

Despite the challenges of dementia and ‘old age’ Daichi helped us create a journey packed with good times. Daichi does hope that when you travel you take time to visit along the route.

It extends the holiday and adds to all those wonderful memories of times spent together.

Where will Daichi take us next I wonder…?

It was a long round trip from Dorset to East Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, to Herefordshire, back through Gloucestershire, into Wilshire and finally back to Dorset, with a stop in each place. The happiness was certainly in the journey. It was spent with family, making it all the more special.

Despite the challenges of dementia and ‘old age’ Daichi helped us create a journey packed with good times. Daichi does hope that when you travel you take time to visit along the route.

It extends the holiday and adds to all those wonderful memories of times spent together.

Where will Daichi take us next I wonder…?

Family and Property Protection Trust Will Package Overview In addition to all the benefits included with the Property Protection Trust this “ultimate” package adds protection for your family’s inheritance with the use of Discretionary Trusts and provides flexibility and peace of mind.

Some of the more common reasons why our clients ask us to provide them with the full Family and Property Protection Package are: “I want to protect my daughter’s inheritance if she gets divorced in the future” “I wish to protect my children’s inheritance from future care fees” “I would like to help my grandchildren go to university or buy their first car” “My son has a drug problem. I need peace of mind that his inheritance is used wisely for him, and not wasted” “My daughter has a mental health disability, so I want people I can rely on to manage her money”.

Why use a Family and Property Protection Trust Will?

The benefits of the Property Protection Trust have already been well documented in past editions, but there are many reasons why including a Discretionary Trust in your Will can further help your loved ones. (See above) This type of trust is most effective because the assets are held and managed by the Trustees to distribute to the beneficiaries at their own discretion.

This means your legacy is better protected from third parties and from being squandered by the beneficiaries.

You can appoint family and friends (including the beneficiaries) as your Trustees but you must be confident that they will act fairly. Between two and four Trustees should be appointed. Alternatively, you can appoint a professional Trustee for neutrality and expertise.

The package includes a Letter of Wishes. This document sits alongside your Will’s and helps your Trustees to understand the aims you had in mind for how the Trust Fund should be used.

Dorset and Wight are your local experts in all Property Protection and Discretionary Trust Wills Plus Lasting Power of Attorney Packages.

Greenfingers… the Alan Titchmarsh column He’s a brilliant presenter, accomplished gardener, talented novelist and all-round horticultural inspiration. This month, as the nights draw in, Alan Titchmarsh explains how our gardens can still be a place of light, stimulation and decoration, and why now is the time to plan for brighter months ahead.

There is a saying: ‘gardeners learn to grow the things that want to grow’. In fact, the truth is everything wants to grow, it’s just up to us not to get in the way of that!

A big part of growing is preparation, and the best time to start planning for next year is right now; so really have a good look around your garden, do some research, and revel in the excitement of what it will look like in six months’ time.

The first things to consider are sunshine and shade; find out your plot’s capabilities and then you’ll know how you can grow all kind of things, be they in the soil, or in tubs, pots and troughs.

Consider size as well – do you have a ranging outdoor space or are you more limited? In

40

reality, it doesn’t matter – just because a space is small it doesn’t mean it’s hard to find things to grow in it. It’s easy to grow salads in a small space, tomatoes in summer, even

I’m always keen to show people this isn’t in fact the case, and there is still so much to take from our gardens every month and every week of the year.

dwarf fruit in large pots. No, you won’t be self-sufficient, but you know that you grew it.

So being realistic about what’s in front of you, and making the best of it, is crucial.

The same goes for when the evenings begin to get darker so much earlier. Plants begin to wither, flowerful gardens sink into greens and browns, and there’s a feeling of packing up for winter, waiting for the spring for colours to begin to return.

One very obvious way to extend the days in your garden in autumn/winter is to add some subtle lighting. I don’t have much lighting in my garden but I try to use what I have to maximum effect. There are some up the sides of a path, and others that highlight things - I’ve got a tall hedge with urns in front with a couple of lights in them, and they look wonderful.

They go on in the evening for a couple of hours and then switch off at 10. I loved looking at those urns – it’s not over the top but it keeps the garden alive and to be enjoyed at night.

Dare I say it, it’s almost romantic, which is very ‘me’ of course!
