I do hope it continues for the children and the summer holidays.

Long may this continue. Your local magazine continues to be a source of good local trades and services. We are here to provide you with the help you need, in the house and for yourself.

Burrowing and breeding Water voles live in burrows, which they build by biting into the banks with very strong, enamel-coated orange teeth. These burrows can be complex and consist of nesting and nursing chambers, with two entrances, one on the bank and one underwater. A water vole burrow is roughly the width of a balled-up fist or a tennis ball. During winter, water voles live in family groups in their burrows; but become very territorial during breeding season between April and October. Water voles are extremely successful breeders with a gestation of just 23 days! Pups leave the nest after three weeks and can breed at just 15 weeks old. One female water vole can have up to 30 babies in a single breeding season. Water voles have a very short lifecycle and don’t usually live for more than one winter. Always eating Water voles eat up to 80% of their own body weight every day. Their diet consists mainly of grasses and waterside plants, plus twigs, bulbs, roots and fallen fruit. They aren’t too picky and have been recorded feeding on up to 220 different plants. Water voles in decline Sadly, water voles are one of the UK’s fastest declining mammals with up to 90% of the population lost since the 1970s due to habitat loss and fragmentation and the introduction of American mink. Water voles are predated by native animals like otters, buzzards, owls, and foxes but can cope by breeding rapidly and escaping into their burrows. A female mink, however, is slim enough to follow water voles into their burrows and kill entire Fortunately,populations.it’snot too late for water voles. Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust is helping water vole populations recover in our two counties through reintroductions, coordinating national projects and managing our nature reserves with water voles in mind. Winnall Moors in Winchester boasts good water vole numbers as the banks are protected and no dogs are allowed in the nature reserve to disturb them hiwwt.org.uk

Water voles are Britain’s largest voles, with fully grown adults reaching lengths of 20cm (plus a 12cm tail) and weighing up to 350g. They are charismatic little creatures with a round face, blunt nose, short furry tail and glossy dark brown or black fur. Despite their name, water voles are not particularly well-adapted to aquatic life. They’ve evolved to live alongside water and their characteristic ‘plop’ is the sound of them diving into water to escape predators and access the underwater entrance to their burrow. But they are clumsy swimmers and lack rudder-like tails or webbed feet that other waterloving creatures have evolved.

Spring cleaning your ﬁnances is another really sensible option. Many of us have old credit cards or bank accounts that we don’t use. They may seem harmless on the face of it, but they all represent risk as far as your credit score is concerned. Next, start investing in your credit future. Using a credit card may seem a peculiar way of improving your credit, but done sensibly it will. And by sensibly, I mean use it for everyday purchases on the speciﬁc understanding you’ll clear the balance at the end of each month. Doing this will boost your credit rating and prove to any lender that you can be trusted. Finally, if you can’t afford to clear your full balance at the end of the month, at least pay off more than the minimum Mendingpayment.your credit score won’t be achieved overnight, but your future self will thank you for your efforts today!

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 column, Martin Lewis looks at how we can repair our credit score.

Let’s be honest, the last couple of years haven’t been kind to our finances. The good news is the ability to rescue and repair that credit rating is within our own hands, and with a concerted plan we can get back to where we want to be. And that’s important – having a good credit rating means gaining access to preferential interest rates; it could be the difference between being able to buy a house, or rent a flat, or not; and it also gives us peace of mind that if an emergency crops up we can lean on financial support. When it comes to improving our credit score, first check your current rating – with the likes of Experian or Equifax – and know what you’re dealing with. When you’ve done that, see about disassociating yourself from others who may be pulling you down with their own chequered credit history - their activity may be negatively impacting yours. Next, get yourself signed up on the electoral roll. It’s a great way for credit agencies to be able to verify who you are and adds a layer of authenticity to any application.

In terms of transformations,careerLily James has been through many. From her early days of period drama grace and finesse on Downton Abbey, Cinderella and The Darkest Hour, to musical interventions – notably in the 2018 summer blockbuster, Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again – and punchy, actionled drama, in Baby Driver and Rebecca, comedy/reality fodder in the form of Yesterday, and romance-led films such as Rare Beasts and The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society. If a genre exists that the 33-year-old British actress is yet to truly explore, it’s the biopic; yet all that is set to change this summer when Lily stars as Pamela Anderson in the upcoming Hulu-screened series Pam & Tommy. The eight-part series tells the story of how two stars from very opposite ends of the entertainment spectrum – she, the beach-bodied Baywatch star; he, the excess-strewn Motley Crew drummer – made waves and headlines in a sensational period during the “GrowingNineties. up, I never had the vision or perception that I would sculpt my own look to be that of Pamela Anderson!” begins the actress, with a laugh. “I mean, for a good two decades she was a fantasy figure for both men and women the world over, but not someone I ever thought I would be trying to emulate, so it was strange to really want to mould myself into this entity! “The physical aspect was obviously the most demanding. It was a huge task each time we got on set to turn myself into her, and the make-up department did an incredible Thejob.” role represents another significant forward step for an actress whose award roster fails to reflect the veracity and versatility with which she has approached her craft.

A fter losing his wife 9 years ago, local man Glyn left a gift in his Will to Oakhaven Hospice after experiencing first-hand how the hospice can help those who need care and support. He became part of the Widowed Friendship Club, which is a self-help group of widows and widowers, and was also looked after by Oakhaven Care in the final stages of his own life. He was so thankful and appreciative of this support that he decided to leave a gift to the hospice so that others in the community who may find themselves in a similar position could benefit from Oakhaven and all that it has to offer. We are able to care for 1 in 4 people thanks to people like Glyn leaving a gift in their Will. Leaving a lasting legacy to Oakhaven in this way ensures we will be able to continue caring for those in our community when they need us most, helping us to make every moment matter.

Arranging a Power of Attorney before it’s too late is critical to avoiding heartache for friends and family later.

If you haven’t made the right preparations, it’s your family and friends who will be left to sort everything out, as they try to take best care of you. When, and only when you feel it’s necessary, your Power of Attorney can be activated to enable someone you trust to step in and take key decisions for you. Your Attorney’s must always make all decisions in your best interests and they are duty bound to follow the guidelines set out in the Mental Capacity Act 2005. You are able to restrict the sort of decisions your attorneys can make for you or you can allow them to make all decisions on your behalf.

It’s shocking to realise that as many as 1 in 3 people over the age of 65 will suffer from dementia, and of course, an unexpected accident can strike at any time.

None of us likes to think about a time in life when we are no longer able to make our own decisions. But should that moment come, it will affect every part of your life – from your home and your finances to your medical care and welfare.

With our life expectancy increasing year on year the need for Lasting Power of Attorneys in the future will significantly increase, so don’t get caught out at your time of need. Worried

Germany-born Rainer Becker honed his craft in Tokyo before making his name in London with the celebrated Japanese restaurant Zuma. I didn’t have the inspiration of a famous chef to become one myself. I think when I first helped my mum, I probably was six or seven years old. I didn’t know anything about cooking, so the inspiration came really from the products. I liked going in the garden, picking strawberries and cherries, and that fascination went up another level when I discovered the incredible flavours and tastes of Asia. That’s why this spicy seared tuna recipe means so much to me – it combines so many intense yet complementary flavours, and every time I cook this it transports me off to a different culture and different place.

My ﬁnal piece of advice is to try to spread the love around your garden. Few of us have an endless budget with which to run riot in our green spaces, and it’s better to do a little at a time across the board, than blow it all in one part of the garden, leaving the rest of it looking forlorn and Remember,bereft. no two gardens are the same, in much the same way that no two gardeners are the same, and you’re never going to get it right all of the time. The most important thing is to be organised and put the effort in – if you do that, the rewards will very often follow close behind. ngers…

Japanese knotweed and Russian vine are particularly unruly and will literally undermine not just your ﬂowers, but nearby buildings too! And the same goes for our animal friends. Sure, we may like to see a hedgehog, bird life, even the odd fox, but the best gardens are those that manage to protect the food supply present!

He’s a brilliant presenter, accomplished gardener, talented novelist and all-round horticultural inspiration. This month, Alan Titchmarsh talks about the most common mistakes we make in our gardens. I always say, as a golden rule, prevention is better than cure, so with that in mind here are my top seven gardening mistakes… and how to avoid Firstly,them! you can have too much of a good thing! Less is more when it comes to good gardening, and if you cram too much together it’ll look a mess, or worse still, will die! Another big error is over- and underwatering. Be regimented over your watering routine and adjust it depending on rainfall to ensure your garden is nicely hydrated at all Next,times.always ensure what you’re pulling up are weeds and not slow-developing flowers. We can sometimes find ourselves being particularly ruthless with what grows in our gardens, so remember, everything grows at a different rate and sometimes the most mundane of plants will flourish to become the most beautiful… but only if they’re left in the Anotherground!bigthing is failing to prepare your soil. Give your plants a chance by ensuring the soil they’re in is in good condition. A simple testing kit will let you know if you need to re-compost, add fertiliser, or simply switch to a different soil Youtype.should also steer clear of what I call ‘the bullies’!

The Adventures of Daichi The Modern Magazines Camper Van Daichi, our wonderful “Modern Magazines Campervan” loves a success story. This month he was very excited to be taking us to Marshfield Farm near Bath. The journey there is really quite stunning. Winding roads between beautiful, luscious green hills with views as far as the eye could see. Very soothing and Daichi purred his way there. Having bought an ice-cream parlour just a few months ago, and now serving this delicious ice-cream in our newly acquired “Wafflicious” premises on Weymouth seafront, we were really looking forward to seeing the factory and the farm for the first time. Based around a 17th Century Manor House, nestled in rolling green fields, this really is an idyllic place. Tim, alias Dad, and his wife bought the then run-down farm in 1971 and have created a haven for organically fed cows and now yummy flavoured ice-cream. Tim has worked on farms all his life and clearly loves his cows. They are well looked after. Will, his son, had a passion for ice-cream from an early age and Dawn his lovely wife laughed about the amount of icecream parlours they visited in Italy on their honeymoon some years ago. In 1988 after returning from agricultural college, Will wanted to diversify the family milk business and took up the challenge to create their first ice-cream – vanilla – which still today remains one of their best sellers. What an achievement. Originally there were around 35 cows, but now, some 30 years later there are 250 cows grazing on the 1100 acres of organically farmed land. The business is thriving. Cows are miked twice a day, once at 5am and then at 4pm, seven days a week. It is a never-ending task. In between these times the happy cows merrily eat the grass in the meadows surrounding the house, factory and newly built warehouses which have been adorned with hundreds of solar panels. These not only save thousands of pounds Daichi is all smiles arriving at Marshfield Farm! Meet the Wafflicious team! To advertise in this magazine, call 023 8065 930926

in electricity costs (and who would say no to that these days?) but are very eco-friendly. Planting trees, keeping bees and really taking care of the environment is at the heart of Marshfield’s philosophy. It really is a family affair with the grandchildren now running the factory and the farm, with their parents and grandparents. So, we met the cows that eat the grass, that produce the milk that makes the ice-cream, that you eat! What a production line. The dog ice-cream is a real winner. One of the best on the market and full of nutrients for our four-legged friends, Marshfield literally make thousands of these tubbed delights every week. We even met Scoop who is the face of the ice-cream! Of course, it would have been rude not to devour some of the delicious ice-cream ourselves, before leaving. Emma, who works very hard in our parlour, had a little too much and could hardly eat her dinner! I think she can be forgiven as all of the flavours are just delicious. The ice-cream parlour there, with bales of straw to sit on and slowly enjoy the creamy treats, is open at weekends to visitors during the summer, so if you fancy a bit of indulgence and a wonderful drive, then we highly recommend a trip to the farm. Of course, there is our very own parlour too, opposite the helter skelter on the Esplanade in Weymouth. “Wafflicious Weymouth” is its name and is not only home to mouthwatering Marshfield ice-cream, but also light and delectable waffles. We have some wonderful reviews on Facebook and are delighted with all the smiles and happy faces we see every day. With regular visitors now from near and far, we are extremely pleased with what we have achieved in just four months. We are not quite a Marshfield Farm success story yet, but who knows… time will tell. If you come and visit do mention Daichi, our excitable Campervan, who loves to take us out, as you will receive a ten percent discount! A present from our four-wheeled friend who loves his icecream too! We do hope you have a fantastic summer. May you get out and about and treat yourself. Where will Daichi take us next… find out in the next issue of your local, family magazine! By Debbie Corney Even the cows are licking their lips! of the doggie cream

There are really no bad decisions… providing you obey the basics of construction, that Sois! rather than just follow the guidelines and the trends and the fashions of the populous, get out there and ﬁnd your own… and more than that, make that reality yourself, if you can, rather than calling in someone else. That, to me, is the biggest thrill when I look in on the projects others have created. To see their own work is to understand the person, and only by understanding each other can we ever truly move forward. for Kevin McCloud fact to anyone

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 individuality and belief. I think sometimes people look at architecture as something that’s unattainable by us; it’s something by which we feel the need to call in help, to pursue the talents and experience of someone else in order to get us to where we want to be. Yet the reality is very different. Anyone can start with an idea or a concept; slowly, gradually, carefully acquiring skills so as to be able to turn some of those thoughts and ambitions into Andreality.the reward from that is two-fold – naturally you can do something that is based on your own timeframe and your own budget; but more importantly, forevermore you can look at something that you produced and know it came from within, it came from the heart, and it addressed that incredibly special element that exists in all our lives where we invest emotion and energy into what are,
