Hello Lyndhurst, I hope you all had a great Bank Holiday weekend for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee! My sister and I were remembering the Silver Jubilee and have a photo to prove how much we enjoyed it with our home made Jubilee hats at the street party. All good fun! There were certainly lots of picnics in the park, parties and other celebrations planned last weekend so I do hope you had a good time.

We have lots of interesting articles this month... There is an interview with the famous and well-loved Alan Titchmarsh, Calshot Lifeboat Station has an Open Day coming up.

Pat, a good friend of mine who is in a wheelchair, has written an article called Out and About in Hampshire... and there’s more.

All good news so grab a cup of tea or coffee and have a well deserved read.

As always we have lots of local trades people for you to contact whenever you need their expertise, as well as local clubs and societies who would love your support.

Here’s to a fantastic month of June!

Very Best Wishes,

We are completely overwhelmed! “Although we are in the tourist capital of the New Forest it was important to us to engage with the local community as this is where we aim to do the majority of our business throughout the year."

Steve is the main buyer for the business with over 30 years experience in the world of antiques dealing in the local area, you can find him at the shop on Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays or by appointment for a free no obligation appraisal of smaller goods you may be considering selling.

OUT AND ABOUT in Hampshire by Pat Dimmock Now is just the time of year to get out and about and see some of the attractions that Hampshire has to hold. It is also the blooming season for Rhododendrons, Azaleas and assorted other exotic flowers at Exbury Gardens.

Gardens I went there a couple of years ago with a friend and the show of the above mentioned is unbelievable; I never knew there were so many colours and the combination of so many grouped together is fantastic for it’s scent too.

In addition to the gardens, which cover several acres, there is the Steam Railway, the River Walk and the Japanese Bridge and the house (not open to the Public).

One of my personal favourites was the flower beds near the main house that included sculptures as well as some of the largest Peonies I’ve seen.

After an afternoon enjoying a ramble round there is Mr Eddie’s Restaurant and the Tennis Court Tea rooms, with both outside and inside seating. Mr. Eddy’s offers a selection of hot and cold food. If you arrive first thing you can enjoy bacon baguettes, in the afternoon a traditional cream tea is available in addition to other light snacks. The lunch menu features soup, baked potatoes, hot fish, meat and vegetarian dishes, plus a salad and a children’s choice. In addition on Sundays there is a roast and if you are planning a family outing what better way to combine a good day out with the traditional Sunday roast.

Exbury Gardens is accessible to those with disabilities, with most areas of the garden being easy going if you are in a wheelchair. A map is given to you when you buy a ticket with areas not suitable for wheelchairs plainly marked. So why not take the opportunity to visit a lovely location that is on your own doorstep while the weather is nice.

Here’s Summer? Let’s hope so.

Interview with Alan Titchmarsh

www.facebook.com/Lyndhurst

Going green Passionate Yorkshireman Alan Titchmarsh looks back over 23 years getting down and dirty in the garden.

Let’s be honest, it’s a rather inexplicable phenomenon - Alan Titchmarsh becoming a sex symbol and housewife favourite. Is the greenfingered personality really up there with the George Clooney and David Beckham? Or is it all just a rather long drawn out joke? Alan certainly thinks it might be...

“I honestly think someone’s been having a laugh for all these years at my expense,” he begins. “And then I get journalists and people asking about it and I feel if I ever once took it seriously, I’d get even more laughs. I know what I look like and I’m certainly no Hollywood idol - I think it’s time we put that one to bed once and for all because no one’s buying it, especially me!”

Titchmarsh, who has just turned 63, will celebrate the tenth series of his selftitled ITV chat show later this year, and he’s already compiled a wish list of celebrity guests for the big event.

“Maggie Smith would be amazing but she never does interviews as far as I’m aware. She would be the ultimate for me, so fingers crossed. Though as much as I’d love to sit down with her, I’d imagine it might be a terrible interview!

“And Julie Walters - I’ve had her on before but she’s one of my favourites. I

TLD June 2012 page 12

Alan Titchmarsh

love anyone who’s up for a great chat and who opens up. She always stands out for me as a fabulous guest.

“Ultimately though, it’s not just about the celebrities for me. I’ll sit down with a chimney sweep and have him on the show if he’s a good talker. I’ll have anyone on my show who’s willing to talk to me.”

The dad of two, heading up this year’s BBC Gardeners’ World Live at the Birmingham NEC, has been a household favourite since his first stint as a horticulture correspondent way back in 1979.

And having cultivated an image as

Friday, June 01, 2012 00:29 Black Magenta Yellow Cyan

Find us online at www.lyndhurstdirectory.co.uk arguably the most affable man in the UK, it makes sense he’d be asked to compère the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee pageant, an honour he admits to being rather nervous about.

“I’m hosting the pageant with the horses, the glamour, the tradition... and I have to say, I’m a little nervous. It’s such a huge event, on a worldwide scale, and while I’m thrilled to even be involved, I find myself a little jumpy at the notion. It’s such a massive event watched by billions across the globe… and that’s a thought I could actually do without too! I just hope I don’t get tongue tied.”

Will he get a chance to meet the lady herself on the day? “I’m not sure, to be honest. I might get a royal wave if I’m lucky.”

As for BBC’s Gardeners’ World Live, visitors will experience theatre and stage shows, as well as getting the chance to meet their favourite TV stars, including Monty Don, Carol Klein, Joe Swift and of course, Titchmarsh himself, who explains why the four-day event is w onder f ul oppor tuni ty to mee t gardener’s from around the country.

With so much time out of Yorkshire, Titchmarsh will be happy to return for some well-earned time in his Ravensworth home.

“I must say, as a proud Yorkshireman, there’s nothing quite like coming home after working away. We all know how special the county is, but sometimes you have to leave and come back to really feel it again. I’ve been very lucky in my career in the sense that I can

experience London and all that holds, whilst also knowing that venturing back to home roots is there for me.

“I’ve never really had a career plan,” he admits. “I’m more an opportunist.

When opportunities come along, it’s about recognising them, and that's something I’ve always done. Saying ‘yes, I’ll take a shot at that’, regardless of the risk of flak. “The Ground Force show took a lot of stick initially for popularising gardening, but I stand by it. It used good techniques and allowed people who were somewhat intimidated by the process to realise it’s not out of their reach.

“As for what the future holds... well, right now, I’d just like to continue working, presenting my show, writing more books and spending more time in my garden.”

And does he get much time to venture amongst the flora and fauna, what with dreaming of Maggie Smith and waving at the Queen? “Every chance I get, I’m in there. I make sure each evening to at least take a jaunt around my garden, do a little dead-heading. I’d spend all my time there if I could, but the BBC might have something to say about that!”

See Alan Titchmarsh at BBC Gardeners' World Live from the 13-17 June at the NEC in Birmingham with Monty Don, Carol Klein, Joe Swift and many more of your favourite gardeners. With hundreds of exhibitors, RHS Show Gardens and free entry to the BBC Good Food Show Summer, it's the perfect day out for any keen gardener.

Case Study: The Mildenhalls Grand Kitchen Plan Mr and Mrs Mildenhall from Ashley Heath, Dorset recently commissioned Granite Transformations to rejuvenate their kitchen from bland to grand.

After receiving a few kitchen quotes and looking at many options to tackle the interior redecoration, they agreed that Granite Transformations was the right way to proceed.

‘We were really impressed by the DVD Granite Transformations sent us. It showed us exactly what we wanted to see. It clearly described what and how the work would be done and seemed very appropriate for the effect we trying to accomplish in our kitchen.’ Mr Mildenhall commented.

‘The kitchen is about seven years old; we bought the house as new so although in fine condition, it just didn’t work. We’ve laid a new floor, fitted co-ordinating wall tiles and finally Granite Transformations has sorted

TLD June 2012 page 14

the worktops. It looks like a brand new kitchen now. It works and we love it!’

Mid-toned wood cabinets with chrome handles, soft shade walls and flooring have given the kitchen a very contemporary, tidy look and of course at the fraction of the cost of a newly fully-fitted kitchen. Next door the utility room matches to the same design, topped off with the popular and versatile Nero Marquis finish.

Gardening Tips

20

www.facebook.com/Lyndhurst

What to do in your Garden in June As any gardener knows this time of year can be fantastic in the garden if all goes as planned.

That includes of course the weather co-operating with hot barmy days and nice cool nights filled with the aroma of night scented flowers, if you had the forethought to plant them.

So, for starters here are some things that you can do in the garden this month: Keep pots and baskets well watered. As plants are growing vigorously and the June sun can be strong, watering twice a day could be necessary in some cases. But please observe any water restrictions in your area. If they are in force you can install a water butt and/or save the water from your kettle (cooled) and the washing of veggies, in a bucket and supplement your watering. It’s surprising how much water one can collect in this way.

In addition new plants should be watered in well at planting time, and during any dry spells. When planting, create a shallow dip around the plant base to hold water, and give a good soaking every couple of days, not a cupful twice a day. The point here is to encourage roots to extend deep down into the soil to find moisture and become well established. Little and often watering methods encourage roots to come close to the soil surface where they are more likely to dry out.

Mulch around plants in beds and borders and large containers, to retain moisture.

A nice thick layer of leaf mould is the best, but grass clippings or composted wood chippings are good alternatives. A layer of newspaper, covered over with grass mowings will help to suppress weeds and retain valuable moisture during long hot spells.

If you have climbing plants in your garden you will understand the beauty and height they bring to the garden.

Plants, such as Clematis, Virginia Creeper and Honeysuckle, to mention just a few, are that they twist themselves around anything they come into contact with and support themselves. However, sometimes their stems can fall astray and they need some help. Simply tuck them in to the rest of the plant or tie it wherever you want to grow.

Take care not to use wire or anything that could dig into branches or stems if they do need some added help.

Dead-heading roses starts now and continues right through to the end of autumn. Cut off each spent flower head as and when you spot them. On floribunda varieties, wait until all of the flowers on the stem have died and cut them off at the base (where it meets the branch).

For an organic slug and snail control try saving your egg shells and then crushing them up and putting them around the base of the plant you wish to protect. The theory is that snails and slugs don't like crawling over this and will go elsewhere for lunch or dinner.

NEW LOCAL SERVICE FOR USERS OF SEPTIC TANKS Householders living in the rural areas around Dorset and Hampshire relying on septic tanks and cesspits for their domestic sewage disposal, may be unwittingly damaging their drainage systems and risking costly repair bills.

Cleansing Service Group is finding that more and more off-mains drainage systems are not working as well as they should because they’re being neglected and even used as “rubbish bins”. This increasing trend is creating blockages and drain a ge issu es – n ot to men t ion unpleasant odours and overflows that pollute local environments and watercourses.

The company says the tanks are a common and effective way of managing domestic sewage but it is important to ensure the systems are emptied regularly to reduce the risk of any problems occurring.

To help householders ensure their dra in a ge sy st em w orks efficien t l y Cleansing Service Group (CSG) now has a specialist vehicle based in Blandford and are on hand to provide advice and assistance on how to look after your system and ensure it stays trouble-free.

CSG’s Top Five tips for keeping a tank in good order are: • Don’t put rags, nappies or sanitary items in the system • Don’t pour paints, solvents, pesticides or fats down the drain • Use bleaches and disinfect ants sparingly • Use only boiling water or drain rods to clear blockages • Have the tank desludged at least once a year

You may already have seen us around the village? We have currently five trained volunteers from the local community and have answered over 1000 emergency calls since we were established in late 2003, throughout the villages of Lyndhurst, Minstead, Bank and Emery Down.

If you would like more information and you could spare a few hours a week or month, and would like to train as a Community Responder for your village, please contact: Lyndhurst and District Community Responder Coordinator: Graham Reeve on 02380 282866 No previous experience required!

The New Forest Meddlars is a mixed Morris dance side, formed in 1990 and based in Lyndhurst in the New Forest. We dance mainly in the Cotswold and Border traditions, but vary our performances with new dances, some collected at festival workshops and some we devise ourselves.

During the coming winter months, we shall be meeting at the Scout Hut in Romsey Road, Copythorne on Tuesday evenings to practise and to learn new dances. Morris dancing is a great social activity so why not join us. New dancers and musicians are always welcome.
