Well I have to say that we have had a very easy summer this year. Hayden spent three fabulous weeks at Grandma and Grandad’s up in Hull. The house was rather ‘empty’ to say the least and I was very glad to have him back but knowing he learns all sorts of skills from sorting the maggots out for fishing, to planting seeds and an oak tree, to baking a fruit crumble, to cleaning the lawn mower and even washing the doors ready for decorating...I am more than happy to let him have fun! Unfortunately he is not quite so keen at home….It is our family holiday this week so I do hope we get some sunshine. It certainly has been mixed weather.

Here in The Southbourne Link we have many local tradesmen and businesses offering their help. The full index at the back gives the whole range of services available. Please do call them whenever you need something done in the house. This really does make all the difference and I thank you for supporting the local people.

There are some interesting articles this month too… find out about the ’proud’ giant at Cerne Abbas, the dazzling dragonflies and more more. I am also looking for a sales assistant or two — page 27. The lucky winner of the prize last month was Stephen Fenton. Well done! This month there is a free DVD and two tickets to see Mantovani at The Bournemouth Pavilion in October. Great prize! Wishing you a good month of September,

Debbie

Talking about wildlife with

Dazzling Dragonflies Dragonflies are amongst our most ancient insects, having been around for about 300 million years. In Britain, they are divided into two sub-orders of the insect family Odonata: dragonflies and damselflies. Damselflies are the smaller and weaker flier of the two, tending to stay close to their aquatic habitats, unlike dragonflies, which are stronger and more adventurous.

Dragonflies have featured for centuries in many folk legends and myths, revered in some cultures and feared in others.

Despite their old folklore name ‘the horse stinger’,they are harmless to humans and neither bite nor sting.

Dragonflies require a steady supply of water with plenty of vegetation, and can be found near rivers, ponds and canals, thriving in unpolluted water, therefore being reliable indicators of good water quality. They go through three life stages; egg, larva and adult.

The aquatic larvae are formidable predators and generally feed on anything smaller than themselves: small fish, ta d p o le s, a n d e v e n other larvae. The adults prey on other flying insects such as moths, m i d g e s a n d mosquitoes. They are excellent and agile fliers, and rely on their eyesight when hunting.

TSL September 2011 page 6

The complete life cycle of the dragonfly is anywhere from a few months to a few years, the adult being the shortest, usually a couple of weeks.

Dragonflies are devoted sun worshippers and at their most active in good weather at the height of summer.

In Britain, they face threats such as habitat destruction and fragmentation, as well as pollution, and species of British dragonflies have become extinct in the last few decades.

Dorset Wildlife Trust’s Upton Heath reserve has recently been named in the top 40 sites in the UK for dragonflies and September is a great month to look for them. If you would like to join Dorset Wildlife Trust’s Dragonfly Group to help record sightings around the county, email Andrew Brown on: brown_a_r@yahoo.co.uk Common Blue Damselfly

A SHOCKING FACT ABOUT THE CERNE GIANT’S VITAL STATISTIC

E

veryone knows Dorset’s Cerne Giant – the chalk hill-figure brandishing a huge club on a hillside near the village of Cerne Abbas. And he’s brandishing a lot more besides, as he’s the only legally allowed pornographic image in Britain.

The Giant has always provided plenty of scope for speculation and wonder, tinged, perhaps, with a little envy. No one has really solved the problems of when he was made, or by whom, or why.

Unless you are unusually naïve or myopic, the most startling feature about the Giant is his gargantuan whatsit, which measures 23ft 7 ins (7.2m) in length – getting on for the length of a London bus.

You may be forgiven for thinking that whoever originally designed this iconic feature had a tendency to exaggerate.

However, recent research suggests, quite shockingly, that the thingummy was actually lengthened about the year 1908 – just over a century ago.

Previously to that year, pictures of the Giant show him with a huge circular navel. Pictures after that date show him without the navel, but with a very much larger piece of manhood – which had obviously been lengthened to incorporate the navel previously situated above its tip.

TSL September 2011 page 10

The clear explanation is that some joker about that time had carefully and secretly cut the turf between youknow-what and the navel, and had then obliterated the bottom half of the navel. The intended result was that the top of the navel then became the top of the penis (oops, I’ve said it!).

If that is the case, then the earlier, pre-1908 objet d’art was a mere 15ft 8 ins (4.8m).

Who was the Edwardian practical joker? Did he ever make a deathbed confession?

---------------------------------And speaking of Cerne, it’s a wellknown fact that lovers hoping to produce a baby have traditionally had a snuggle on that very circumlocutory place. Indeed, a titled member of the aristocracy was so successful in this endeavour that he and his partner actually gave the resulting daughter the middle name of Cerne.

--------------------------------Cerne has many legends. For instance, St Augustine is said to have gone there to convert its inhabitants. He and his missionaries were met with scorn and derision, and had cows’ tails pinned onto the backs of their habits. The saint got his own back, however, and to their embarrassment the villagers of

Tuesday, August 30, 2011 01:41 Black Magenta Yellow Cyan

Find us online at www.southbournelink.co.uk Cerne grew tails themselves, and for a while all future generations at Cerne were born with tails.

Another legend tells how St Augustine gave the village its well. He asked the locals whether they wanted beer or water – and when they tactually opted for water he struck the ground and created a well for them. The abbey has long disappeared, but St Augustine’s well still exists there.

As for the Giant, it was believed by the locals that he was a real ogre who ravaged the land around Cerne, particularly annoying farmers by stealing their sheep. At last, helped by the fairies, the inhabitants managed to capture him, flatten him out, and then

11

permanently pin him down on a convenient hillside.

Today, Cerne is well worth visiting, as one of the prettiest villages in Dorset.

-----------------------------These stories and many more can be found in David Hilliam’s most recent book, The Little Book of Dorset which has Dorset’s red, yellow and white flag on the cover (£9.99 from most bookshops).

David is a local writer and lecturer, and is also the Secretary of the Southbourne Literary Society.

He can be found on the hillside near the village of Cerne Abbas, to the north of Dorchester.

Jurassic Jaunt: Kimmeridge Quarry, Northern Route A pleasant 3-mile downland walk situated between the coastal path and the inner ridgeway. This walk is an up-and-back walk with a loop at the top. Some open fields and some shaded areas. Ideal for a casual walk with a picnic. No significant ascents or descents on this walk .

How to get there: - Grid Reference; 918801. Turn right for Kimmeridge/Creech off the Wareham Bypass. Follow the road for about 4 miles, up onto the ridge and descend the other side. Turn right for Kimmeridge and after about a mile, just after a right hand bend, park in the quarry car park on the left .

Information: Toilets There is a village shop with toilets in Kimmeridge about 1/2 mile further down the road, and about ¼ from the end of the walk .

Walk details: As you leave the car park, turn right and follow the bend around to the left and after about 100 metres, cross the stile on the right-hand side of the road. Go straight ahead, down to the wooden railings and follow the Footpath sign (100 yards).

At the gate, bear about 45 degrees left to a stile in the hedge (200 metres).

Follow the path through the woods, over the wooden bridge and out into the field.

As you enter the field, aim about 20 degrees right and w a l k t o t h e s t i l e ab o u t halfway along the right-hand hedge (1/4 mile).

TSL September 2011 page 14

After going over the 2 stiles in this hedgerow, bear 20 degrees left to a stile in the far hedge (200 metres). At the gateway, face the telegraph pole in the middle of the field and bear 30 degree left and head for the telegraph pole near the corner of the field (300 metres). Just to the left of the telegraph pole is a stile in the hedge. Cross this, go straight ahead, up some gravel steps and follow the path up to the gate at the road (200 metres).

Turn left, and after about 30 metres, take the right-hand track, signposted ‘Ridgeway ¾ mile’. Follow this for about 300 metres until you reach the pathway.

Turn left, proceed to the sharp right-hand bend but cross the stile in the left-hand corner (150 metres). This will take you back down to the road (400 metres).

Turn left, follow the road back to the gate you exited from when coming onto the road (600 metres). Turn right and retrace your steps back to the quarry ).

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

Trees and Shrubs

for spiking lawns, removing thatch and reseeding.

A large number of evergreen shrubs can be propagated this month from stem cuttings made from the current season.

First come first served for ordering plants.

Fruit

Climbers and Wall-Plants

Vegetables

Many con tain er-grown p lan ts are obtainable from nurseries and garden centres for planting out this month, while there is still some summer warmth, to help roots.

Winter radish and turnips can be sown now. Gather all your remaining tomatoes and finish rip en in g in d oors, th e remaining plants if healthy put on the compost heap.

Roses

Greenhouse and Frame

Pruning of the ramblers and climbers which have finished flowering should be pruned early this month. This is so the new growth made during this season may be tied.

Towards the end of the month pot grown chrysanthemums with there flower buds well advanced should be placed in a cool, well ventilated house.

Borders and Beds

Any repotting that needs to be done should be attended to early this month before growth slows down, as it will soon get cold.

If a new border is to be made you must get it dug now, to allow soil to settle for planting later in the autumn.

Bulbs and Corms Most spring flowering bulbs and corms can be planted now. If you wish to transplant lilies delay until the very end of the month or into October.

Rock Gardens and Pools

Planting of strawberries should be completed as soon as possible while there is still warmth in the soil to assist rooting.

This month is excellent for construction of rock gardens and pools, before severe weather sets in. Plants may be put in from pots with little disturbance to the roots.

Lawns Not so much mowing is needed now. Also the height of the mowing should be increased. September is also an ideal time

MANTOVANI:HOLLYWOOD TO BROADWAY BOURNEMOUTH PAVILION THEATRE — SUN 16 OCT 2011, 7.30PM After three previous sold out concerts Paul Barrett and Franck Leprince, in association with Kenneth Mantovani, bring the sound of Mantovani back to the Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre with, Mantovani – Hollywood to Broadway on Sunday 16 October 2011.

The show takes you on a nostalgic journey from Hollywood to Broadway, featuring movie and musical classics. Hear the unique Mantovani sound in Fiddler on the Roof, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Gone With The Wind, South Pacific and Dr Zhivago.

His countless fans will also love to hear Mantovani’s multi-million selling hits including Charmaine, Moulin Rouge, Some Enchanted Evening and many more.

Local promoter and lifelong Mantovani fan, Paul Barrett, insists on recreating the full might of the original Mantovani Orchestra and he dismisses several money-saving suggestions in his bid to precisely replicate Mantovani’s original instrumental line-up.

This doesn’t come cheap but he has no regrets. “It’s what I choose to spend my money on and I am absolutely delighted with the result,” he explains. “I could be buying luxury cruises or top of the range cars but what I wanted more than anything else was to recreate the Mantovani Orchestra and I’ve done it.”

Local church helps people become savvy with their cash Members of Cranleigh Community Church in Southbourne wanted to help their local community to best handle the economic climate following specialised training from UK charity Christians Against Poverty.

They are offering short courses teaching people how to chart their household income and take control of their expenditure.

Money coach Bernard Smith, said: “With households feeling the squeeze on their disposable income, we’ve all got to get a bit more savvy about our money. If you know how to save and budget effectively, it can have a hugely positive impact on the whole family.”

CAP Money is useful for newly retired people, students, mums dealing with mounting bills, families saving for a wedding and everyone in between.

The next courses takes place in the church hall, Cranleigh Road, starting at 7.30pm on October 6th and November 3rd.

To find out more about CAP Money or to book your place visit the website at www.capmoney.org, telephone or text 0775 929 0901.
