4 Dear Southbourne, Tuckton & Hengsitbury Head!

Welcome...

The Southbourne Link

Christmas 2016! Unbelievable many of us say. It is a time to reflect over the last year and start to look at what we want to do this coming 2017. Stephen and I with Hayden and good old Nellie have had a really good year.

The summer for me was particularly special, spending much time at the beach with Hayden and his ‘life saving’ friends. We have been busy and also have had time to take time out as a family. Nellie, the Dorset Directories Campervan continues to take us out, all over the south coast and beyond. Not quite to infinity... Last month she took us to Chessington Theme Park and you can read how a group of ‘ageing adults’ had a blast.

Edition 87

Published by:

Now is the time to finalize all the preparations for Christmas Day. We also have three Birthdays at this time: on 25th November Hayden became a teenager!

Oh oh... My Birthday is three days before Christmas as I didn’t want to miss out on those all important presents of course, and Stephen’s Birthday is on Boxing Day. It is an expensive time of the year to say the least, but very exciting.

First World War Memorial at All Saints Church, Southbourne

Like many churches, All Saints parish church in Southbourne, Dorset, has a memorial to members of the local community who died in the First World War, 1914-18.

In dedication to them, here we feature one name from that memorial and their story.

Officers of the 8th Battalion Somerset Light Infantry

Francis Henry Joscelyne

Francis Henry Tremlett Joscelyne was the son of Gertrude and Henry Joscelyne of Sydney, Australia. He had a younger brother Arthur Joscelyne and cousin Lawrence Joscelyne who were also killed in the war and are both commemorated on the All Saints WW1 Memorial Plaque. After the death of both of their sons in the war Gertrude and Henry returned to England and lived in Mannamead, Plymouth, Cornwall for a period before returning to Australia where they died.

The Bournemouth connection: Mary Louise Gowland married Reverend Henry Joscelyne and died in Bournemouth in 1923.

Mary and Henry had 9 children one of whom was Henry Maurice Joscelyne, Francis and Arthur’s father. Henry Maurice Joscelyne was an astronomer and meteorologist and married Gertrude Tremlett in 1885. They moved to Australia where the boys and their sister (who died in infancy) were born in 1886 and 1889.

Henry Maurice’s sister Mary Ewing Joscelyne remained in Bournemouth and lived at ‘Chalgrove’, 20 Grand Avenue, Bournemouth in St James parish, later to become All Saint’s parish in 1915. Living with Mary Ewing Joscelyne was her niece Muriel Vivian Joscelyne, Lawrence Arthur Joscelyne’s sister and Francis and Arthur’s cousin. Another aunt of the three men was Alice Emma Joscelyne, Mary’s sister and professional nurse who was a matron at Dartford Lodge, 96 Southbourne Road, Bournemouth. There is evidence in the All Saints’ parish magazines that the Joscelyne sisters and niece attended All Saints church and contributed to the memorial window in the church which was installed in memory of those men who died in WW1.

Francis (Frank) Joscelyne was born in Sydney in 1886. By 1901 he had returned to be educated in England and was attending St Chad’s College in Staffordshire.

In 1911, at the age of 25, he was lodging with his Aunt Mary Ann Cotton in Cardiff, Glamorgan and working as a railway clerk.

It is possible that Francis was a member of a Welsh territorial battalion as he was already an officer when the war began.

In 1914 Francis Joscelyne was attached as a Captain to the 8th Battalion of the Somerset Light Infantry. The 8th (Service) Battalion of the Somerset Light Infantry (SLI) was raised in Taunton, September 1914, as part of Kitchener’s Third New Army and was attached to the 63rd Brigade, 21st Division.

The new armies took a year to train and equip before they were judged ready for war. The 8th Battalion received their rifles in June 1915, were inspected on the march by Lord Kitchener August 1915 and embarked for France September 1915. Their first experience of war was appalling. After only a few days in France and after lengthy forced marches they faced action amidst the choking gases at the Battle of Loos. In their first day of fighting the 21st Division suffered 3,800 casualties for very little gain.

In 1916 Francis’s Division was in action in the early phases of the Battle of the Somme. He saw action at Albert in July and at Bazentin Ridge in August 1916. The rain was persistent and the mud posed huge problems for moving men, munitions and animals.

The phases of the battles on the Somme merged into the nightmare Battle of the Somme and raged through September and October to November 1916.

The Battle of the Somme of 1916 finally ended on November 18th, one day before the death of Captain Francis Henry Joscelyne who died on November 19th, 1916 aged 30. He was the first of the three Joscelyne men to give up their lives in the Great War. Researched and written by Alice Miller

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 6RXWKERXUQH area

DQG Panager 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!

Local children take it upon themselves to raise money for Italian earthquake victims Back in August after the earthquake in central Italy, a group of local children in Southbourne decided they wanted to help.

Their grandfather, John Stout, takes up the story: ‘We, that is my wife and I, had prepared a barbecue for our 2 sons/wives and their children - Amelia (11), Violet (8), Sebastian (10) and Claudia (6).

At some stage “early evening” all the children disappeared “to play” in our street; Southlands Avenue, and were joined shortly after by their friend Lily (11).

From time to time we (the parents and grandparents) checked that all was well and I supplied them with the customary sweets to keep them “happy”.

Approximately one hour later and with darkness falling the children led by Amelia and all of them smiling over their faces presented me with a small porcelain cup filled with money!

Apparently they had been up/down the street collecting funds to send to Italy to help with their recent earthquakes.

In return they offered biscuits (taken without my knowledge) to everyone making a contribution.

I understood from what they told me that everyone who was “in” made a contribution the total of which I am

making arrangements to send to the disaster fund direct.

Obviously my wife and I and all the parents were moved at what these very young children had achieved as were also some of our neighbours who we have subsequently spoken to.

Incidentally sisters Amelia and Violet had just returned from a holiday in Italy and heard about the earthquakes while they were there which clearly moved them to want to help those who had been affected.

What a marvellous and spontaneous thing these children did.

It is something that myself, my wife and all of their parents will never forget.’

Sebastian, Claudia, Violet & Amelia

Wildlife News

Talking about Wildlife...

Fly away home...

Bird migration is perhaps one of the favourite natural phenomena of wildlife lovers. Summer long gone and the autumn foliage fading, the sky fills with the spectacle of migrating birds, heading to their winter quarters in Africa. The birds’ ability to navigate thousands of miles annually, often to the exact same locations year after year, has mystified people for centuries, and it is believed that they use the Earth’s magnetic fields, the sun, the moon, and the stars to guide their way.

Whilst many species migrate south from here, Britain, due to its temperate climate, plenitude of estuaries and long coastline, is an internationally important destination for millions of migrating birds from the Arctic, Siberia, Canada and Scandinavia. They arrive on our shores throughout the autumn to spend the season in a milder climate than their homelands offer. Winter visitors include redwing and brambling, as well as geese, ducks, swans and wading birds. The migrant birds frequently fly around in flocks of dozens to thousands of individuals, reflecting a fantastic silhouette against the sky. They

find comfort and safety in numbers; flocking together provides security from predators, and as the chilly nights settle in, huddling together provides the vital body warmth for survival.

Poole Harbour is one of the country’s most renowned bird estuaries, hosting thousands of migrants annually. The Brownsea Island lagoon, an internationally renowned destination for migrants, supports significant numbers of avocet, black-tailed godwit, oystercatcher, and redshank and spoonbill, amongst others. December is an opportune time in coastal areas, wetlands and estuaries, where many of the avian visitors make their winter home, to go bird watching. Should you not wish to venture outdoors, Dorset Wildlife Trust has teamed up with the Birds of Poole Harbour to produce a fantastic live avian reality show via a webcam, available on: http://www.birdsofpooleharbour.co.uk/ brownsea-webcam.

Visit www.dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk to find out more about our winter walks, and the best reserves to spot birds all year round.

Adventures of Nellie

26 26

The Adventures of Nellie The Dorset Directories Camper Van Nellie is very excited about Christmas!

Last year she drove us all the way to Stephen’s parents near Oxford. This year we are staying at home and my parents are coming to visit.

With all that adrenaline rushing she had the great idea last month to take us to Chessington Adventure Park for Halloween. When I say a group of us I mean all adults of a certain age (mostly over 50) who were looking for some good old fun... without the children. Is that possible I hear you say? A group of menopausal women and a few perplexed men to a theme park for Halloween? You would think we would know better by now, but seems the ‘going back to childhood’ has started early for some of us... or maybe we just never grew up!

We set off, all (well most of us) very keen to have a go on the rides and scream and shout to our hearts content. What a great excuse! We only thought later that we could have dressed up too... but maybe that was taking it a bit too far. Nellie can look pretty scary at the best of times with her long black skirts and silver teeth. You do realize that it is the van I am talking about and not some self inflicted invalidation? Not that any of us would ever do that to ourselves of course...

The weather was perfect. Bright and dry. Not at all bad for October 31st.

As soon as we all gathered at the gate we were like whippets at the starting block. We couldn’t wait to get on those thrilling, heart pounding rides. One of the party was not so keen and happily was the ‘bag lady’ for the day. We had in fact been to the same location last year and “Mr Bubbleworks” (the name says it all), which is a cute ride on the water for the younger children, had sent chills through her spine and caused her to hang on for dear life, literally. The rest of us found it highly amusing but poor

Julie couldn’t wait to get off. She now makes a very good ‘bag lady’ and is more than happy to watch us screaming, shouting and otherwise making a fool of ourselves.

“Kobra”, the serpent ride, is really quite exhilarating, without turning you upside down and throwing you about uncontrollably. The roller coaster does throw you from one side to the other and neither seat saves you from the other person’s heavy (in some of our cases) body being thrown solidly against you as you also twirl in the air.

Nellie didn’t like the sound of that one and with her rather oversized thighs I don’t blame her!

Then of course there is the good old fashioned Carousel. Two of the party are somewhat more dignified and composed than the rest of us... must be David’s Naval Officer background, though his wry smile at times gives something else away... and they absolutely looked the part as they gave the Royal Wave from the carriage. Escapism, or is it delusion?

Wonderful isn’t it.

The only youngster of the party, a fifteen year old, got totally drenched on “Rameses Revenge”. Nellie loves the names of these rides. People must spend hours, and probably a small fortune, just thinking of what to call them. This was the only ride none of us ‘sane’ adults would go on. Held upside down in the air with water shooting up at you, was not our cup of tea. And at our age tea is very important.

Time for that all important tea!

“Vampire” is the best and since the park was open til 8pm, being a Halloween opening, we went on that in the dark. The ride seemed twice as fast and being at the front added to the sheer elation. Our poor tickers, how did they cope?

It was a truly brilliant day and Nellie was thrilled we enjoyed ourselves so much. It shows that you don’t have to be young to have a good time and that time spent with friends is time well spent!

Nellie wishes you a really good Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Again it is a great excuse to invite friends and family together, relax, eat and be merry. Enjoy!

Where will Nellie be taking us in 2017?

NCS Rough Sleep Challenge Committed young people taking part in the BCHA-led National Citizen Service (NCS), slept rough for the night raising awareness and money for homeless people in Bournemouth this winter.

On 11th November 2016 a group of young people aged 16-17 years old took part in a 12-hour rough sleep. The challenge was a simulated version of a night on the streets.

They were woken up and moved on every few hours, like many homeless people are each night. They walked many miles throughout the night in all weather conditions.

The young people managed to raise over £500, this money will go towards redecorating James Michael House in Bournemouth. This property provides housing for homeless young people in Bournemouth, the young people were particularly passionate about this cause due to the residents being of a similar age. Any leftover donations will be used to give the residents a well needed activity day out. Donations are still being taken on our JustGiving page: www. justgiving.com/fundraising/BCHA-NCSRoughSleepFundraiser Rachael Cheney, NCS Staff, said: ‘I was overwhelmed by how dedicated the team were in helping homeless young people in their area. When asked why they were so passionate they said it was because it could happen to them at any point and they were still lucky enough to be at home.

We tried to make the experience as realistic as possible by first working through a Homes for Cathy workbook. We got them to think about different scenarios that could lead them to being made homeless and how they could overcome them. They also learnt about what being homeless really meant, to break any

stereotypes they may have had.

On the actual night they spent most of the time in a church car park and the NCS staff played different roles throughout the night, including a police officer moving the group on. They spent some time in the local woods in West Moors, to help them understand the loneliness and separation some homeless people might experience.

They were all fantastic and made the most of the challenge we set for them. They were so pleased when we played the role of a good Samaritan at around 3am and invited them in to the church for a hot drink and a donut.’

Harry Batson, NCS Participant, said: ‘NCS has given me a unique opportunity to take part in awesome activities and also give back to the community. This programme has made good use of my social skills, leadership and helped me further confront the world and its surroundings. I never realised how easy it was to help in the community and have fun whilst doing it!

What we, as NCS graduates, have achieved has truly made a difference to lives and is one of the best things I have ever done. I have definitely changed as a person for the better thanks to this course, and I fully encourage young people to also take part. So worth it!’

Money Saving Tips

Martin

LEWIS &KULVWPDV

Don’t hate me, I know it’s early, but it’s time to prepare (not celebrate), as Christmas is coming. I hate tinsel and Jingle Bells before December as much as the next man, but many festive savings are only possible if you do them early.

This isn’t a trivial message. I’m fed up of every January people telling me they’re skint and when I ask why they reply, “Christmas of course.” Well I can tell you exclusively here, Christmas will be on 25 December this year, so it’s not an unexpected event – there is time to plan in advance to prevent problems.

So here are my seven key things you should do now that’ll save you for festivities. I’ve focused on Christmas, but the same techniques work for Chanukah, Eid, and Kwanzaa too.

1. Agree to not give unnecessary presents.

Gifts for kids, grandchildren or your spouse are fine. Yet it’s time to stop the ever growing list of people we buy for even when we’ve no idea what they want, know we’ll end up buying tat that’ll never be used, and add heaps of pressure on ourselves to do so.

I’ve been campaigning to end unnecessary gifts for six years, and more and more people are doing it. Yet it involves agreeing a pact not to buy

each other. Even the joy of giving can be selfish if it obligates someone who can’t afford it to buy back. Julia tweeted me a couple of weeks ago: “@MartinSLewis, finally took your advice and told family I can’t afford Xmas presents. What a weight off my mind. Thank you.”

So contact friends and family now and make an agreement not to buy, or to cap the cost, only give homemade or even to give to charity instead. See my full ‘why Christmas presents are bad’ explanation at www.mse.me/ BanChristmas.

2. Book your train tickets 12 weeks in advance.

Wherever you’re planning on spending the festive season, if you need to travel by train, book your tickets 12 weeks in advance. That’s when most cheap advance tickets launch, so you get maximum availability. So this is close to the perfect moment to be buying tickets if you’re away visiting friends and family for Christmas and New Year.

3. Small savings make merry Based on roughly 90 days, 75 working days and 13 weeks left till Christmas.

So, if you buy a £2 coffee every work day, just give it up now, put the cash in a Christmas kitty instead and you’ll have £150 by the big day.@MoneySavingExpert I’m not telling you

to do this, it’s about deciding priorities.

If that’s cash you need for Christmas, are you willing to make the sacrifice?

4. Earn 5% cashback on your Christmas 2YHUGUDIWV shopping.

If you’re going to be spending for Christmas, you might as well do it on a card that pays you every time you spend on it.

T h e n o a n n u a l - f e e w w w. americanexpress.com Platinum Everyday credit card pays you 5% cashback on your first three months’ spending (maximum £100), so get it now and you get the big cashback during the high spend pre-Christmas period. It then follows with up to 1% after.

The cashback is paid after a year, so you’ll get it in time to help next Christmas, though there’s a minimum £3,000 spend to get it. That sounds a lot, but do all your normal spending on it as it pays you and you’ll be fine. Of course, only do this if you’ve a direct debit to repay it IN FULL each month, or you’ll be charged 22.9% rep APR, which kills the gain.

5. Not saved for it?

Do it now – then you can split the cost by three.

A typical family Christmas costs around £600-£800 - a huge amount from one month’s salary alone. But if you haven’t started saving yet, there is still time. For example, if you put £200 aside from your October and November income, it’ll spread the cost. Save what you can.

Martin

LEWIS

If you’re saying you can’t afford that, then I’m afraid you’ll need to go cold turkey. Christmas is just one day, it’s not worth overspending and ruining your New Year.

6. Set up a Christmas cupboard.

Become a tactical shopper. Work out now what necessary gifts you need to buy, and then if you spot a bargain, you can pounce on it when there’s a code, voucher or discount that makes it cheaper (I put the best in my weekly email at www.mse.me/tips).

Even better, as is part of many Money Savers’ Christmas arsenal, once you buy a present, bag it, wrap it, and pop it in a Christmas cupboard – gradually getting the chores done.

7. Not used it since last Christmas?

Flog it.

Walk around the house and examine everything; it’s time for your annual personal stock clearance. Many old items can be worth serious cash.

And if you’ve not used things for a year, whether toys, prams, old coffee makers, mobile phones, gadgets, or even clothes, why not sell them?

This isn’t just about eBay or car boot sales; Facebook now has a lot of good local sales groups too that can be an easy way to do this. There are also lots of recycling sites that will pay you for old mobiles and gadgets – just make sure you do your research first to find the one that’ll give you the most @MoneySavingExpert

Auto Biographies Motoring

Abarth 124 Spider

By Tim Barnes-Clay, www.carwriteups.co.uk

The Abarth 124 Spider is cast from the same die as the Fiat 124, and to improve it Abarth has used the same tactic as it did to change the Fiat 500 into the Abarth 595. In other words, it has added lithe looks, noise and, most importantly, muscle. The Abarth 124 Spider uses the same platform as Mazda’s MX-5 and Fiat’s 124. However, while the Fiat has been constructed to be more of a cruising vehicle, the Abarth is more hardcore – and the most performance driven of the three brands.

The Abarth uses the same 1.4-litre, fourcylinder turbo-charged petrol engine as Fiat’s 124 - except in the Abarth it produces 170PS, compared with the Fiat 124’s 140PS. The Abarth’s power unit spins with the proper Italian sports car vigour you’d hope for. It feels wayward and entertaining at high revs - and you’re aware of the turbocharger when you push on. The sports car is quick to respond and the gear change is rapid and exact.

The best thing about the 124 Spider, though, is the noise it makes. Popping burbles emit from the quad tailpipes when doing the 0-62mph gallop, as I found out testing the car at Silverstone Circuit, in Northamptonshire.

The two-seater Abarth will reach the magical

figure in 6.8 seconds, on its way to 143mph.

Fold the roof, via a simple fastener, and the Abarth 124’s sound is even more delectable.

For an added dose of pleasure, the Abarth 124 has a Sport setting. Hit the button and things become louder, tighter and faster.

The throttle feels more insistent, and weight is also added to the steering, making you feel even more united with the road – or race track. The 124 Spider feels most pleased driven hard, with the tail-end hunkered down over the rear wheels. Even when you go too brutally into a bend and lose traction for a jiffy, the Abarth 124 continues to play nicely. Working out what the rump of the car is going to do soon becomes second nature.

On the whole, the Abarth 124 Spider is a grin maker, although your beam might falter for a moment when you see the price-tag - £29,565. Yes, it’s a large lump of cash, but once you’ve heard the melodious tailpipes, felt the performance and experienced the handling for yourself, you’ll appreciate that this car is worth every single bank note.
