I cannot believe it is November already. Really this year has flown by like never before. I am sure Hayden our 6 year old son wouldn’t agree with me, so I guess I must be getting on a bit! The new kittens which were born last month are truly gorgeous.

Lydia, the Mum has been a delight to watch. One day the little black and white kitten, named Fifi by Hayden, tried to make a bee line for the door to go outside. Lydia looked at her and gave her a right talking to, looking at the door then turning to the kitten. It was quite amazing to see. Needless to say, Fifi turned around and went straight back into the room. Maybe I can learn from her! Well we have a great Southbourne Link for you this month, with dinner offers for the Christmas season approaching, electricians, hairdressers, plumbers, beauty treatments in fact you name it and I am sure you will find the right person to help you. Please mention The Southbourne Link when making any calls or enquiries. This makes all the difference to the magazine and keeps it in circulation. The lucky winner of the prize wordsearch last month was Mrs Celia Barrow Well done and we hope you enjoy your meal. Did you all have a good Halloween? We had a great evening with children and adults all dressing up including face paints! Sometimes we just need an excuse to let out hair down, hey.

I hope you all have a great month of November.

Best Wishes,

Debbie

Coffee Shop is Proving to be a Success!

“If you're passionate about coffee, Mocha Turtle is the place to enjoy freshly ground coffee at affordable prices.”

Mocha Turtle has been open for over 3 months now and we could not be happier. Not only do we have regular customers, but we have discovered how lovely the Tuckton community is. Tuckton was in need of a social place where friends and families could meet for coffee, a place where mums can bring the children and be sure that there will be something suitable for them to eat and drink and somewhere to serve the local businesses and residents their daily treat and the a vast choice of hot and cold breakfast and lunches. The social aspect and the ability to make people happy and relaxed is a triumph in itself.

How are we different?

Environmentally-friendly packaging?

Producing food for those with dietary needs? Child friendly? Home-baked cakes and fresh sandwich fillings produced from local businesses, where possible?

All of the above!

Our meat is drug-free and very local – Neil’s Butchers is right opposite the shop!

We have Vegan/Vegatarian choices, plus those who have problems with gluten -

we also use gluten-free ingredients in certain menu choices – just ask!

The menu includes fresh sandwiches, baguettes, toasties and Panini’s. The cold weather has seen the introduction of Jacket Potatoe’s, home-made soup and other delicious hot food and drink. The home-baked cakes, fresh coffee and other hot beverages, milkshakes and smoothies are proving to be very popular – especially the ‘bring your own chocolate’ to make a milkshake!

Other services include - DELIVERIES TO LOCAL BUSINESSES AND RESIDENTS, PRE-BOOKED LUNCH BOXES, PARTY BUFFETS, BUSINESS PLATTERS – whether you want to impress your clients with mid-morning coffee, lunch or afternoon tea – We can supply a selection of savoury nibbles or bitesize cakes – it’s your choice.

November’s Gardening Tips From Paul Chatfield of Chatfield’s Garden & Property Services Always give your plants good thoughts!

Fruit If strawberries were not planted earlier Trees and Shrubs Planting of evergreens including conifers should be completed early this month.

Plus prepare for deciduous trees and shrubs.

Climbers and Wall-Plants Prepare all climbers and wall plants by tying in long shoots and make sure they are secure. Examine all old supports change if needed.

Roses Shrubs, ramblers and climbers need to be firmly secure to prevent them from whipping about in the autumn winds and becoming damaged.

Borders and Beds All the summer bedding plants should be cleared by now. The space left can be planted with cheerful spring wall flowers, polyanthus and garden primroses all available in bright colours.

Bulbs and Corms If ground is in a workable condition finish the planting of lillies early this month.

Where drainage is needed plant them on a layer of sharp sand.

Rock Gardens and Pools Gather up falling leaves to stop decay.

Any other debris remove from pools before they decay and foul the water, which is harmful to plant life and fish.

Lawns Raise height of cut on lawns to no less than 2 inches. This stops the light getting to the ground which encourages moss growth. Patch if haven’t already.

there is still time, complete pruning of currants and gooseberries. New plants can be propagated from old wood.

Vegetables A start may be made with digging vacant ground, so it has as long as possible to weather during the winter, ready for raking down next spring.

Greenhouse and Frame An important task this month is removal of dirt and any shading that was painted or sprayed on the glass to give as much light as possible ready for spring.

House Plants As daylight decreases, light through the window is considerably reduced. Light loving plants would need to be moved accordingly. Remember to water less, just keep damp.

WAGGY TAILS RESCUE, is a registered charity based in Ferndown. They rescue and re-home dogs that have been abandoned, neglected or otherwise in need of a good home.

Our Autumn Orphan this month is ROSCOE Roscoe is a very pretty 3 year old Border Collie who was, believe it or not, ABANDONDED by his owners. They left him in kennels when they went on holiday and never returned, so eventually the kennels gave him to Waggy Tails! He has a lovely nature and is well behaved. He has had lots of training and ‘sits’ and gives his paw on command. He will need a mature home, where he can be given lots of physical and mental stimulation. He will then make a superb companion.

With Christmas just around the corner, we’d like to help with shopping dilemmas! For the second year running we have produced our own Christmas Cards featuring our rescue dogs, and they are on sale in all our shops. Then, for presents, why not make a donation on behalf of your friend/relative, and they will receive a festive thankyou…or you could sponsor a dog on their behalf (see www.waggytails.org.uk for more info).

AND don’t forget to visit our Christmas Fair at the Barrington Centre, Penny’s Walk, Ferndown on Saturday 20th November from 9.30am to noon. Free entry and lots of fabulous prizes to win, plus gifts for 2 and 4 legged friends.

Phone our office on 01202 875000 to find out more!
