From ballerina to racing driver - Emilia is waving the flag for Julia’s House! male-dominated environment. But more and more females are joining the racing world, which is fantastic!”

She swapped ballet for motor racing when she was 16 years old, and now Emilia Vincent is waving the flag for Julia’s House Children’s Hospice in the car she helped to build.

The former Poole High School student is racing in the Castle Combe Hot Hatch Challenge Series this year.

Emilia spent two years building the car along with her fellow student team for her degree in Motor Sport Engineering at Wiltshire College and University Centre, and was later chosen as one of the team’s racing driver. The 24-year-old hopes to raise awareness for Julia’s House with her fast-paced hobby and will be displaying the charity’s logo on her car in every race.

Emilia says, “I want to help the charity and the families that are struggling in any way I can, so I’m racing for Julia’s House and I hope that spectators will acknowledge the logo on the car and want to find out more and make a donation, or do some fundraising themselves.”

Claudia Hickin, Fundraiser for Julia’s House, says, “We were so pleased when Emilia got in touch to ask if she could race for Julia’s House – I don’t think our logo has ever moved so fast! We feel very lucky to have the support of Emilia and her family, and it’s a wonderful way to raise awareness of our care for seriously ill children and their families in Dorset and Wiltshire.”

Emilia is competing in the Castle Combe Hot Hatch Challenge Series, with two more races to go this season on 30 August and 18th September.

Inspired by Formula E team principal, Susie Wolf, Emilia put her ballet shoes away and decided to start karting with her father as her mechanic.

“I’ve since made the leap to car racing and I absolutely love it. Younger girls might be put off seeking a career in motorsport or competing themselves, as it’s seen as 8

The name’s Bond...but not for much longer As he bids farewell to every actor’s dream role, we look at the legacy Daniel Craig’s James Bond has left behind.

To equate his Bond experiment to the process of the average gymgoer, Daniel Craig is showered, moisturised, halfway towards being dressed and grateful for the occasional glimpse in the changing room mirror… one which flashes back reflections that his 007 persona might casually approve of with a muttered, “good job”.

Speculation that the actor was saying his farewell to James Bond has been circling for some years, but now, unequivocally, he is done, as the rather clumsily named No Time To Die hits cinemas.

As it does, the 53-year-old emerges with a few things – a life-defining imprint on the CV, a multimillion-pound war

12

chest, and the knowledge that he has influenced a generation of cinemagoers in refining the definition of the modern-day hero.

“I’ve always thought the image of a good actor is someone who leaves the big gestures and sweeping statements for when the cameras are rolling,” he begins.

“That should really be the beginning and the end of what we expect of our actors.

“I don’t want to be the type who puts himself on a pedestal away from that. What right do I have to comment at length on politics or society or the environment? And why should anyone take any notice of me anyway? I’m an actor!”

Back on screen, it has been interesting to see how far removed the modern version of Bond is compared to his immediate predecessors Brosnan and Dalton. And while Connery and Moore never strayed into dadbod mode, they represented an era where Bond smoked, drank and

copulated his way through problems.

At the heart of what defines Bond is, according to Daniel Craig, a good yarn, purely and simply. “Just stick to the old adage that a good story goes a long way…. and blow stuff up every few minutes,” he laughs heartily. “That’s how it’s done.”

Yet what makes the man himself is something rather more complex. “If you want it too little – a great body, a great film role, a beautiful girl – you won’t get it. The same thing will happen if you want something too much - you’ll go too far the other way, burn out, overdo it, get injured. The secret is ensuring you do enough without going overboard, and that takes a little while to work out.”

The husband of actress Rachel Weisz has certainly perfected the art of keeping it all in check.

“Bond has always managed to combine brute warfare with effervescent charm. I only wish I could be more like him in real life!”

Classic Novels For You... Read On! Moving On

This article is the last in a series aimed at encouraging you to return to classic novels that you possibly read long ago – or saw the films of.

The message has been that • there is much more to the classics than you may remember • each reading is a new experience – in fact, a new book – because you come to it with all your experience of the years since you last read it • there is much to enjoy in such novels, whatever your interest.

The Previous Suggestion It has been said that The Pickwick Papers is ‘like a shout of laughter ringing in our ears’. Would you agree – or did you fail to reach the end?

This is the novel that made Dickens so popular in Victorian times, his first great success. Can you see why? Or do you prefer other novels by Dickens?

Pickwick overcomes all the adversities, a reflection of his early years. Did the book have a positive message, overall, for you?

In these articles, I have suggested five possible routes into the enjoyment of the classics.

I hope you realised • how your experience of the last two years has helped you understand more precisely Mary Yellan’s experience in Jamaica Inn and Silas Marner’s life in the Eliot novel • how much humour there is in Jane Austen’s novels.

14

• how much enjoyment can be found in Thomas Hardy’s books, with both a local background and a historical context (for us, these days)

Read On! You could continue your experience of the classics in many ways – and, remember, the aim we have is enjoying reading these books. If anyone wants to become involved in deeper academic study, that is fine, but not the main aim of these articles.

You could read other novels by one of the authors already suggested.

You could search out classic detective novels if that is your interest. Try what is widely regarded as the first - Edgar Allan Poe’s The Murders in the Rue Morgue is widely regarded as the first such novel.

What about reading Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein if you are in to the gothic or science fiction? Similar writers to try include Jules Verne and H.G. Wells.

Jane Eyre or Wuthering Heights will lead you to what the Bronte sisters have to offer.

If you want a different experience, how about D.H. Lawrence? Lady Chatterley’s Lover is not the best of his novels by a long way, having been written solely to shock.

James Joyce is best approached through his short stories in The Dubliners.

Henry James is another experience altogether. I toyed with using Washington Square in this series.

Whatever, I wish you hours and hours of enjoyment as you rediscover the classics!

Talking about Wildlife...

The dragon of the skies…

No summer is complete without experiencing the sights and sounds of a dragonfly as it hunts over a nearby pond. Agile and colourful, dragonflies are a joy to watch with their aerial manoeuvres rivalling the fastest military aircraft as they duck and turn in pursuit of prey, or narrowly avoid the clutches of hungry hobbies. These adaptable insects lord over wetlands, moorland and even woodland glades, feeding on flies, midges and even each other.

If you thought butterflies were the only insects worth a second glance, these multi-coloured, iridescent predators demand appreciation too.

In addition to occasional visitors from continental Europe, there are 17 species of damselfly and 23 species of dragonfly resident in the UK. They are found in almost every habitat, bringing a splash of colour to the landscape just as the wildflowers and butterflies are winding down – so now is the perfect time to spot them!

This year in Dorset we’ve been lucky enough to witness the arrival of the Southern Migrant Hawker dragonfly, which is usually found in warmer climes. Spotted in Lytchett Heath in east Dorset, this is a first recording for the county, most likely due to the prolonged period of warm weather this summer. The overall appearance of the male Southern migrant hawker is much bluer Southern migrant hawker dragonfly

than the more common migrant hawker, and is often called the blue-eye hawker, on account of its blue eyes. The migrant hawker dragonfly is one of the most exciting dragonflies to spot, and you can often find them hunting along sheltered hedgerows in August and September.

Another impressive dragonfly you may see this year is the emperor dragonfly, which is a characteristic dragonfly of new ponds, where for the first few years, their larvae may be extremely common. The males are pale blue, with an applegreen throat and a black stripe running the length of the body.

Dragonflies are most active in warm and sunny conditions and are most commonly found near water, but several species also travel to feed in gardens, fields and woodland edges.

To help with your identification of dragonflies and damselflies, visit The Wildlife Trust ID pages: www. wildlifetrusts.org/wildlife-explorer/invertebrates.

Understanding Investments: Planning to retire within the next ten years?

For many people, life is an act of juggling competing financial demands. However, this can often change between forty-five and fifty-five 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 ten 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 and save as much of their earnings as possible and minimise the tax they pay. 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 have 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 loans are due to be repaid. It is important to be debt free at retirement, albeit there are several 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 thirty-five 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.

18

Understand what your investments such as ISAS Howard Goodship and Pensions are invested in and to what level of risk they are exposed to. 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 (Flexi-Access 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 financial plan also needs to incorporate inflation -for example inflation at 3% per annum means expenses in retirement could double every twenty-four 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 would like to learn more or discuss your personal situation, we would be delighted to meet for a free, no obligation initial chat.

Keeping Clients (and you) Informed about tax and accounting changes Presently a business is taxed on profits from the accounting period ending in the tax year.

In 2023/2024, sole traders and partnerships (not limited companies) will be taxed on profits in the 12 months to either 31 March or 5 April.

Example for a 30 June year-end: • Old rules – use profits from accounting year ended during 2023/2024 tax year (30 June 2023); • Proposed new rules - add 3/12 of profits from 30 June 2023 accounting year and 9/12 of profits from 30 June 2024 accounting year.

Quarterly tax returns under the new Making Tax Digital (MTD) system will also start in April 2023!

If you need any help with MTD or any other Accounting, Tax or Business matters, contact a local Chartered Accountant in Verwood, Ian Keatley at KCI Accountancy.

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 looks ahead to some design trends that might rise to prominence over the next few years.

I get asked a lot about future design trends and initiatives, and the truth is I wouldn’t know what a trend was if it hit me in the face! Over the years I’ve come to regard trends as very lucid, irregular things – they come about quickly, are mixed and remixed, then disappear out of nowhere; and with interior design that can be problematic given the semipermanency of how we furnish our homes. It’s not like saying ‘this pair of trousers are out of fashion this year; I’ll wear a different pair tomorrow’. If you’ve added wood panelling to every wall in your home, it’s going to take a while to fix.

What I will say is what happens at the beginning of every century in design and

24

architecture is that people stop and look back at the last century and say, ‘oh my God, we didn’t get any of that, quick, let’s have some’, and you get this rush of building and design and furniture which is kind of retro – we’ve seen it over the past decade or so with a complete craze for anything vintage from 1930-90s.

It’s fair to say we’re always looking forward as far as home design goes, both

architecturally and in the patterns and designs within.

If I had to put money on a style or theme over the next couple of decades, it would be eco-based. We’re seeing a real retune to very natural, sustainable materials - basic stuff.

Yet also, thanks to changes in technology and the way that

we design, often using iPhones, we can survey and model things really cheaply now.

So that means we are going to see all manner of goods – from home products right through to personal stuff like shoes – made not in some factory in Germany, China or Portugal, but in a shop round the corner from where you live using really sophisticated 3D printing techniques.

Certainly, a look into the future is a view back towards bespoking our homes in our own design. The era of the IKEA mass-market products has helped us a lot, but technology is now freeing us to style our homes in much more personal ways. It will mean we can turn back into being a nation who make things for ourselves, in a bespoke way, which I think is a very exciting future.

The Adventures of Daichi

The Modern Magazines Camper Van Daichi, our Japanese Campervan, is always looking for new, British experiences, so taking us to see Dad’s Army at the Tivoli Theatre in Wimborne was an extra special treat last month. Were you an avid fan of this Iconic, now internationally renowned British show, in the late 60’s and 70’s? Back in the day this BBC sitcom reached 80 million viewers an episode and with nine series and 80 episodes in total there was a lot to laugh about.

I had booked these tickets more than 18 months ago, well before any Lockdown, or hint of international adversity, so you can imagine the crowd, the audience, all seated and eagerly anticipating the

Watch out for Project Play’s next one!

Daichi at the Tivoli Theatre in Wimborne cast’s appearance. When the tannoy announcement welcomed us all back to a “live show”, there was the best cheer I have heard for a long time. The audience was ready. Oh what excitement, oh what a buzz. We were there. We were with the characters. We were on that stage.

Fortunately, metaphorically speaking, as the actors themselves were well rehearsed, and I am sure, as eagerly anticipating their performances as we were to watch them.

We were all back together.

I have been in plays (a few years ago now…) at school, and I take my hat off to these ambitious individuals, not professionals, but ‘ordinary local people’ with working lives and families to support, who work tremendously hard to put on a fully professional show.

We salute you! “Don’t Panic!” You did a FANTASTIC job. You were all so in character and fully entertained us.

Dad’s Army, as many of you will absolutely know, is situated in a fictional South England seaside town of Walmington-on-Sea, where the Home Guard platoon, manned by volunteers, is on watch. Jimmy Perry, one of the co-writers and creators of the

programme based a lot of what he wrote on his own experiences in the Local Defence Volunteers. Did you know that his mother did not like him being out late at night and worried that he would catch a cold, and as such the character of Private Pike is actually based on himself? How funny is that.

The play started with “The Deadly Attachment” and the capturing of a German U Boat Captain and his crew. The unfearing, cantankerous Captain Mainwaring, a bank manager by trade, orders soggy fish and chips for them, much to the German captors’ displeasure. It is good-old British humour at its best. They don’t make ‘em like they used to. Followed by a scene from “Mum’s Army” in which Captain Mainwaring has a wandering eye and takes a fancy to Mrs Gray. It is such a shame that many of our great British lines and innuendos are disallowed and frowned on these days. In my opinion we have one of the best senses of humour on the planet and are able to laugh at ourselves in a healthy way. It is very therapeutic.

After the much-loved ice-cream interval break, came “The Godiva Affair” where poor Mr Mainwaring watches his wife cavorting ‘naked’ through the streets (actually in a full cream body suit, but fortunately it was only left to the imagination…), as she poses as Lady Godiva in a fund-raising carnival parade. As my Dad would say, “You couldn’t

The cast “on parade”...

Great hilarity in “the office” write it, could you, Deb!” Well, Jimmy Perry and David Croft did - and oh did we all laugh!

“The Floral Dance” was the final scene and as the actors gave us their departing lines, and the curtains slowly started dropping we were all smiles and clapped and cheered to our hearts delight. Eleven of us from Modern Magazines had gone to watch this fantastic ‘blast from the past’, literally from ages 17 to 80, and all of us had a fabulous evening. “Project Play” who produces these incredible shows does a great job managing and creating them. Matthew Rock, the Director and Producer, is ever grateful to all the local people who act and spend hours of their time rehearsing, the stagehands who create each scene throughout the show, the dress makers, makeup artists and the whole team which it takes to put on such a production. There are now Project Play opportunities in Burnham on Sea, Yeovil, Frome, Chippenham and Wimborne. You can contact them on 07970 216459 or via their Facebook page, @projplay.

Daichi loved our British performance and will certainly be looking out for more of these to take us to! Where will he take us next – I wonder?

Sway Bowmen History Sway Bowmen Archery Club was established in 1985 primarily as a Target Archery Club within the New Forest National Park. Our first venue was at Sway Football Club, but as membership increased we moved to Skanlands Farm where we held our first Club championships.

During the winter months we also shoot indoors at Brockenhurst College on Wednesday evenings.

With membership increasing further Sway Bowmen moved to a more permanent site on Birchy Hill where we stayed until 1999.

We have about 120 members with ages ranging from juniors up to 75+ years old. We have archers of all abilities from beginners up to archers of international standard.

Our ginal move was to Great Break Field on the outskirts of Sway Village.

We are fortunate to have unlimited access to our range which the Club now owns.

Our members enjoy a full outdoor season of shoothing and social activities as well as our annual Mushroom Shoot which is enjoyed by Archery Clubs across the region.

34

Sway Bowmen are now in the enviable position of having a superb new clubhouse constructed at our range, work having now commenced.

If you are interested in joining the Club we run beginners courses in April each year. These courses fill up very quickly so please get in touch with you would like to attend.

Greenfingers… The Alan Titchmarsh Column He’s a brilliant presenter, accomplished gardener, talented novelist and all-round horticultural inspiration; and this month, as autumn works its way into our outdoor spaces, Alan Titchmarsh explains why variety is the spice of life, even in the garden!

With the approach of autumn, at the moment we’re going through that phase where the colours and the shapes are changing.

There’s sometimes a sadness when you realise summer is coming to an end, and the leaves certainly seem to be falling earlier this year. My advice though is to embrace the new season and really go after all the potential and possibilities that it holds. After all, we’re actually very lucky in Britain – where plants are concerned we can afford ourselves a different favourite every month; snowdrops in January, daffodils in February, tulips in March and so on.

People tend to associate autumn with brown and orange tones, and a rustling underfoot; but it’s about much more than

40

that. One of the most exciting times is when you wake up on a certain day and you can just smell the fact the season has arrived. It’s something in the air - a kind of sourness, a tang that lingers. You can smell things just beginning to decay, but it’s in a way that is replenishing, stimulating and invigorating because it means things are turning and new possibilities are around the corner.

look at the lovely ferns it’s now growing.

Next, perhaps start autumn with a tidy-up of borders, or a clean out of the greenhouse, or perhaps even renew a few tools. Also consider getting your compost boosted with all those leaves suddenly in abundance.

And finally, invest in some evergreens to offer texture and volume in areas of the garden that might start looking a little sparser.

Mostly though, look forward to the coming change and admire nature’s versatility. There is tremendous colour still around us, and where the leaves have descended, look at the skeletal, artistic majesty of trees.

So as autumn arrives I would offer the following bits of advice. Firstly, hold on to the last bits of colour and savour them. Next, enjoy what’s there - perhaps you have some raspberries or any number of the late-flowering varieties such as Cyclamens, Begonias, and of course, Crocuses.

Also see how your garden is evolving – sure, that asparagus bed is no longer cropping, but

Remember, anticipation is an underrated commodity. People expect everything instantly now because they are able to go into a supermarket and have what they want when they want it.

Yet there is more to it than that where our gardens are concerned - I like looking forward in life and I thrive on anticipation because, of course, when it does happen, it’s that much more enjoyable.
