4 Dear Neighbours, Wow, what a good Christmas and New Year we had this year! I do hope Edition 106 you were able to spend time with family and friends too. In addition to all those festivities I had my 50th Birthday (shh, don’t tell…) and celebrated that with all those I love the most. So yes, it was an unforgettable few weeks! Nellie, the Debbie & Stephen Corney campervan, took us to ‘Pull with our son Hayden a Pine’ which was great fun and you can read all about that on pages 38 and 39. So, here we are in a New Year, 2015. What were your New Year’s Resolutions? We have lots planned this year and have already booked our holidays, so hard work but lots of time off too. A good balance all round. One decision I made was to get the house sorted out. We have already started throwing away all those unwanted items. Hayden wants to try and sell some of his toys, so we may have fun visiting a car boot sale or two. Wish us luck with that one! There are many advertisers in The Ferndown & West Parley Directory who can help you in the house this year. Whether you want cleaner carpets, better double glazing, the electrics updated, a new bedroom, a loft extension, or modern garage doors, there is a professional to help you. Please give them a call, they would love to hear from you and do mention The Ferndown & West Parley Directory as this always makes our work worth while and is very much appreciated. Stephen and I here at Dorset Publications are looking for community groups and clubs to promote for free, so if you know of one, wanting more help and promotion please let them know of us. If you have a business and want to let the local people know all about you, then please give me a call too. We would love to help you.
In this issue...
Wishing you all a FANTASTIC 2015!

. . . s r a t S e h t s t e e m i Ann Montin
This month’s star is
Julio Iglesias Ann Montini caught up with singing legend Julio Iglesias at the Dorchester Hotel in London. Ann – Julio Iglesias finally we meet? Julio – “A pleasure, and always one, to come back to England, and appear and perform for my fans here. They have been so good to me over the years, we go back a long way.” Ann – A new award too... what does that feel like? Julio – “The award feels like for being alive to be honest, but seriously it’s for Sony Music’s ‘The Most Successful Latin Artist of All Time’ award, in recognition of my 46-year international career. Amazing don’t you think?” Ann – Truly amazing! You’re ageless though, what is your secret? Julio – “Music and singing. No, truthfully I think if you have a passion you enjoy, then you should, you know embrace it and do it. I think this also keeps you young, and so you look better, but thank you for saying that.“ Ann – You have done so many things in your career though... Frank Sinatra ? Julio – “My hero really, I have Hollywood legend Kirk Douglas, to thank for us singing together though, as he told him about me, and well the rest is history, but what a star, what a legend.“ Ann – Your new album has gone gold all over the world... does the success still surprise you? Julio – “Yes and no really, because I have wonderful fans, and I think that if you give them what they want then hopefully, they will enjoy it too, and so it goes on... I always like having number one albums though for sure.” Ann – Many duets, who stands out for you apart from Sinatra Julio – “So many, but of course Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, what a lady and such a great songwriter too... but I always enjoy looking at
new people... who knows maybe Lady Ga Ga would like to duet?” Ann – Could there be a Julio musical like others have done? Julio – “We have sort of done this in a way you know, but not around the world... I am not sure, do you think that would work... if you do Ann, maybe you sing with me on the show?” Ann – I would love too! Is it true you actually wanted to be a professional footballer? Julio – “It is and, I was a for a while with Real Madrid, but then I had some misfortune, but out of that came the gift of music, and so life goes on... You have to remain positive you know.“ Ann – You have also starred in films in the past... planning anymore? Julio – “I was very young, but yes I would look at some options now and again, but I am guessing at my age, I won’t be playing the romantic lead... but hey a movie career again would be wonderful...” Ann – So what is next for you then? Julio – “I am performing sell out shows, a new album and picking up awards you know life could not be better actually Ann, so all I would ask is more of the same please.“

WEST PARLEY PARISH COUNCIL Donations to local amenities
Recently the Parish Council received funds from Eco Sustainable Solutions, who built a large solar farm locally, and sought to use it to benefit the local community. Some was used to upgrade the car parking facilities at the Recreation Ground and large donations went to West Parley Memorial Hall to enable the trustees to continue their good work maintaining the 50year-old building, and to Parley First School to extend their outdoor learning environment. The Council is happy to support any local club or society that helps encourage residents to get involved in community life.

Recognising Community Achievement Dick Heaslip, former Chairman of the Parish Council and longstanding Chairman of the West Parley Residents Association, was chosen as the first winner of the Annual West Parley Community Achievers Award and his name recently unveiled on the new Community Achievers Board at Parley Country Club. The awards will be made annually to any resident who has contributed significantly to the wellbeing of the community and village. Chairman John Cullen says, ‘The Community Award is recognition of the tremendous work that Dick has done for West Parley and continues to do as Chair of the Residents Association. He has led the fight against major housing plans for the village that would build on much of the rural setting’.
A New Year’s Resolution? Here’s a good one! Why not offer a little of your time to help with one of the voluntary activities that help the residents and the environment of this village in which we are fortunate enough to live? Among the activities are: • Maintaining the flowers in the planters or the plants in the Recreation Ground • Litter picking • Tidying and maintaining the verges • Becoming a volunteer driver • Delivering leaflets (twice or three times in a year)

Law Spot ...providing the answers
to your legal questions
Every month the solicitors and lawyers at Harold G Walker will be providing answers to your questions about the law. I have a personal loan secured against my house. I now want to sell my house and purchase another. Can I just move this loan so that it is secured against the new house? If you have taken a personal loan that is secured against your house, then it is in effect a second mortgage. Sometimes it is not made clear to borrowers how a loan is secured. Even if borrowers are made aware that the charge will be placed against their house, very often they are told that if they want to sell, the loan Arthur Scaife can be transferred onto the Conveyancing new property without any My ex-partner has told me she’s going to move to Norfolk with our children because that’s where her new partner is. The children have all lived in Bournemouth since they were born and are settled here. I don’t want my children to go - What can I do? The prospect of one parent re-locating with children is often an extremely emotive time for everyone and is a very sensitive issue. If a parent living in England and Wales wishes to relocate with children to a place either outside the jurisdiction of England and Wales (such as Ireland, Scotland oe overseas) or within the jurisdiction (and it is a geographical move such as from Bournemouth to Norfolk) consent should be sought by all people who have parental responsibility. Even if a parent does not specifically have parental responsibility their consent may still be necessary. If there is no consent, an application to court can be made to
problems. Borrowers therefore assume that this is not something they need to let their solicitor know about. Although when you took out the loan the sales person may have made it sound simple to move the loan onto the new property, the reality is that usually the loan cannot be transferred at all. The old loan will probably need to be paid off in full when the house is sold and an application made for a new loan. This new loan can then be secured against the new property so long as you have the consent of your main mortgage lender to do so. It is important that you let us know as soon as possible if you have a secured loan against the property you are selling so that we can give you early advice regarding this. help determine the issue. A court will always focus on the welfare of the children involved and will seek to determine what is in their best interests. There is always a balance to consider and every case is individual. If a parent states their intention to leave with the children and the other parent believes they will simply go without getting their consent, that parent can issue an application to Court to stop them going until the issue has been resolved. Removal without consent could be abduction. If you are in either of these situations, specialist legal advice should be sought immediately.

Parley Heritage News
Barrows Revealed on Parley Common Two local Bronze Age bowl barrows have recently been cleared of covering trees and shrubs to reveal what they would have looked like when first constructed some 4300 2700 years ago. The barrows, on what was the former East Parley Common to the north east of the top of Barrack Road, have been cleared as part of a planning condition attached to construction of the new solar farm close to the barrows. These bowl barrows, on a hilltop known as Gibbet Firs, are both almost 20 metres across and almost 2 metres high. A ditch would have surrounded both mounds. The barrows are soil and rubble mounds that covered single or multiple burials of important individuals, such as tribal chiefs, and were usually accompanied by grave goods to help the journey to the afterlife. The name of the site derives from a 19th century gibbet that stood between the two barrows. Part of the post is now in All Saints churchyard in West Parley as the base of a sundial. The final remains of the gibbet were removed some 20 years ago.
Like the other barrows on the heathland north of the River Stour there are extensive views from here, sometimes even across to the Isle of Wight. Their position was of considerable significance to ancient societies for the worship of ancestors and they became a focus for future burials and funeral rituals. The Gibbet Firs barrows are unusual locally as they have not been surrounded by housing development close by and are almost in the exact landscape setting that they would have been in some 3000 years ago. Other local barrows in West Parley - Parley Barrow, Mags Barrow and Ralphs Barrow – are all now in gardens or next to houses that were built in the 1960s. The more relaxed attitude to preservation of historical monuments in the past is shown by the actual removal of these ancient features, such as Dudsbury Barrow, that used to be on the corner of Christchurch Road and Linden Road. This large barrow was completely removed after investigation of the contents. John Cullen

100% FULLY FUNDED SOLAR ENERGY
Think Sustainable Energy who are new in Dorset but have over 200 installations in many parts of the UK are announcing their unique offer of installing fully self funding Solar systems in the Dorset area. This is not to be confused with the “Rent Your Roof” scam. You own the installation and you receive ALL of the Government Feed-in tariffs which are GUARANTEED by the Government for 20 years. This can amount to many thousands of pounds. This is why the Rent a Roof cowboys think it is so good. As well as this you should save about 50% on your current energy bills. The panels they use are the latest state of the art German technology. They are black in colour and are much more attractive than the earlier rather ugly systems. If you think this all sounds too good to be true give a call to Think’s local consultant Brian Ash for a chat and he will explain how it works. He can be contacted on 0800 656 9997 or email him at brian.ash@thinkgb.co.uk

Adventures of Nellie
38
The Adventures of Nellie The Dorset Publications Camper Van Well really! Do you honestly think that Nellie would be a thief? She doesn’t possess a balaclava for one. Well this is what some friends thought when I proudly told them that Nellie took us to Arne in the Purbecks last month to cut down our own Christmas tree. Their immediate reaction was to burst out laughing and ask “Is that legal!?” I was shocked. Of course it is legal I declared indignantly! It was all rather funny really. I mean can you imagine us trying to disguise Nellie, running into the heathland in camouflage, cutting down a Christmas tree and sneaking it into the back? Well... maybe you can! For those who do not know, our heathland is very special. In fact did you know that the heathland habitat is rarer than tropical rain forest? Rob Farrington of the RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) tells us, “Heathland is not wasteland – it may look barren and bare but it is the most biodiverse habitat in the UK. That is, more species of wildlife call heathland home
Sammy and Hayden pull a pine each!
Porting our pulled pines than any other type of environment.” So you see, Nellie was doing a good deed! Clearing away the small pines allows the heathland to survive... I just want to set the records straight. It was a great day, the weather was glorious. Cool but sunny. We met a friend there with his young son. Everyone was in great spirits and there was not a drop of alcohol in sight. We had been to Arne to ‘pull a pine’ a few years ago but had not managed to get there since. I was amazed at the amount of people. There were literally hundreds of cars parked with many people walking with trees over their backs, smiling, laughing and generally enjoying our wonderful country, seaside air. The whole activity is a win win situation, as we save the RSPB in the region of £25,000 and over two years of work, leaving that money to be spent on other useful projects. All the volunteers get to take home a free Christmas tree and we save our heathland at the same time. Result! The views from this area are stunning as you can see in our photos.

Nellie prepares for a pine-full load There is nothing like the fresh air, family time and a project to do. The boys just loved using the loppers to cut the small trees down. The only problem is finding the tree for your front room. It is worse than choosing new curtains! Do we want this one, or this one, or will this one look better? Is this the right shape, too tall, too small?? There is such a variety, in the end you just have to say, “We will take that one!” We actually took two...one for the lounge and one for the front garden that we decorated with lights. There is something quite magical, knowing you cut the tree yourself. I have never had a Christmas tree lit up in the garden before so I was quite taken with that. Nellie was very happy to bring the trees home. It was all a little squished in the back for Hayden, but we managed all the
Second tree welcomes visitors in front garden
Our tree, fully decked out, with the presents same. Travelling down the country lane we saw many different trees on car roof tops, being pulled in the trailer behind, or sat next to a contented and cheerful passenger inside. I highly recommend ‘Pull a Pine’ at Arne. We even bought Mum a year’s membership to the RSPB as a Christmas present. Mum loves watching the birds, so this was an excellent present for her. We already have a membership ourselves and are looking forward to, can you believe it, a ‘spider finding tour’ in the spring! If you want to know more about this organisation you can find them on line at www.rspb.org.uk or call general enquiries on 01767 680551. Nellie thoroughly enjoyed her Christmas trip, was glad not to meet any policemen on the way home and is really looking forward to more exciting excursions in 2015! Where will she go next...?

Introducing the Jubilee Wine Circle Having spent too much on booze at Christmas and New Year do you wish you could save money by making your own wine and beer? Do you want to know more about what you are drinking and try out new drinks? If so, come along to the Jubilee Wine Circle. We meet on the first Friday of every month at the Stapehill Village Hall and have a variety of evenings mostly centred on wine, it’s production and consumption. We often have tastings of different wines and you can see how your palate compares to other people’s and have more of an idea of what you like and dislike. We have two qualified judges in the circle as well as a host of members who have been making wine for years so if you fancy making wine there are lots of people who can help. Recently we have had tremendous success at the Dorset
Federation Show where Jubilee carried off the trophy for circle with most points. The circle also has it’s own competitions and there is support for entering other competitions such as the Wales & West competition which is very large. Recently we celebrated American wines on 4th July and had a wine based ‘Call My Bluff’ evening. In 2015 we will be having competitions, a tasting of local beers and a ‘Spot The Commercial’ wine evening where we try some home made wine against a commercial of the same type. So if you like the idea of a sociable evening with a general focus on wine then please contact the Chairman using the details below and you’ll be made very welcome.
