Dear Wimborne, Merley & Colehill residents, A very Merry Christmas to you all! We do hope that you are all prepared and are ready to put your feet up in front of a roaring fire with a glass of your favourite tipple in your hand. The thought is good but very often that is not the case. Last minute shopping, cleaning the house before the parents, friends or family arrive. It can all get a bit stressful, let’s face it. Maybe it is time to stop worrying, let someone else help where they can and smile your way through. That would be Nellie’s suggestion!

It works for her… I think I will try it.

We have had a very good year with lots of travelling and fun outings. Now is the time to start planning the new 2018. How exciting! A new year, a new start, or maybe more of the same, but certainly a time to create a future.

Stephen and I thank all of you for supporting the advertisers in 2017. All of your calls and bookings have made our work worthwhile and kept many businesses very busy. If you have a business yourself or know of one, please let them know of us. We would love to help them do even better and get many more calls.

The lucky winner of the prize wordsearch was Hyla Holden. Very well done to you.

Here’s to a Wonderful Christmas Time!

Best Wishes,

Debbie & Stephen Corney Useful Numbers

Local MP visits young people homeless services in Wimborne Michael Tomlinson MP took time out of his busy schedule last week to visit Waverley House in Wimborne, which provides accommodation for vulnerable young people within his constituency of Mid Dorset and North Poole.

The service for 16 – 21 year-olds is run

by BCHA, a local specialist housing and support provider, who help homeless and vulnerable people access the right housing, health, learning and work opportunities.

The visit followed a meeting earlier this year between BCHA CEO, Martin Hancock and Michael, when he was also a member of the Public Bill Committee for the Homelessness Reduction Act. The new law, which was given Royal Assent in April, will require earlier intervention by councils to prevent homelessness, becoming the first major piece of homelessness legislation for 15 years.

Michael met with staff to find out more about the work of BCHA and Waverley House in supporting the 8 young people who live there and also spoke with resident’s Ella, 18, Joe, 22, about their own experiences and future plans. The MP also talked to Grace Butler, a local a police Community Support Officer, about successful partnership working with BCHA has led to some very positive outcomes within the community.

Michael Tomlinson, said, “I was delighted to be invited to visit Waverley House to see for myself the excellent work that they are doing. It is clear that the young people who use this facility benefit significantly as a result. The dedication and skill of the staff at BCHA is to be applauded.”

Following the visit, Lisa Hudson, BCHA Project Leader for Dorset Young People’s Services, said, “We really appreciate Michael taking time to come and visit us, it really meant a lot to both staff and residents. He took time to talk to everyone individually and find out more about them and find out what more the government can do to help. The feedback from everyone following the visit has been extremely positive.”

Cloudy2Clear Announce Trusted Trader Partnership Consumer champions Which? have now joined the thousands of customers who recognise that Cloudy2Clear Windows really are a business that you can TRUST. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has received the coveted ‘Which Trusted Trader’ status after going through a rigorous accreditation process entirely focussed on customer service.

Group Managing Director Marcus McGee believes that Which? have endorsed Cloudy2Clear’s long standing

company policy of delivering the highest standards possible at all times. ‘Our service is simple. If your double glazing has misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 25 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps. Whilst a number of tradespeople perhaps don’t focus on customer care as much as they should do, we make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle.

Locally Cloudy2Clear service the :LPERUQH area and

manager Justin Friel agrees that this approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated as both my customers and, obviously a body as nationally important as Which? now recognise.’

So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Justin a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

Wildlife News

Talking about Wildlife...

The violence of nature The deer rut is one of the most powerful and shocking displays nature has to offer. Deer have a reputation for being shy and retiring, but their character changes drastically when the rutting season begins in autumn.

The rutting season is a time for male deer to demonstrate their power and dominance to decide which individuals get to mate with the does. These highly charged displays of violence, noise and drama, can lead to death and injury, but are an essential part of creating the next generation. Hormone levels are the trigger for the stags’ assertive behaviour. The levels of hormones go from ‘flat’ to ‘surge’, bringing on the enormous bone growth of the antlers.

You may hear a deer rut before you see it. Males bellow and belch to intimidate their rivals and warn Sika Stags at Holton Lee

Red Deer in the New Forest

younger males to stay away, creating what could be described as more of a bar brawl than a fight. However, when the physical violence starts, there will be pushing, shoving and the eventual lock of antlers. The hormones surging through their bodies is exponential at this point, but the rut is also exhausting for the males; only the fittest will survive.

The best time to see deer rutting is at dawn and dusk during autumn. Often deer are so distracted and preoccupied with rutting, it will allow you to get closer than usual to witness their behaviour and take photos. However, be warned, for your own safety it is not advisable to get too close to them, and be sure to keep control of dogs – if deer are disturbed during a rut, this could affect the future paternity of an entire herd.

Wimborne’s Festival In 1951 a Souvenir Programme for Wimborne’s Festival was produced, covering a series of events from the 10 to 16 June of that year. It was organised to celebrate the Festival of Britain.

Local organisations involved in the Festival included local schools and churches, the British Legion, Boy Scouts and Fire Brigade.

The programme began on the Sunday with services held at the churches in the town. On the Monday the Urban District Council organised the Beating of the Bounds, the ancient custom of walking the boundaries of the parish. The circular route started and ended at Knob Crook.

Bowls and tennis tournaments, and cricket matches were played over the week. There was a Schools’ Day on the Wednesday, the local schools putting on a ‘display of physical exercises’ and ‘maypole and country dancing’ at the Recreation Ground, and an ‘arts and crafts exhibition’ in the Wimborne Boys’ Council School.

The Festival concluded with a ‘Historical Pageant’ organised on the Saturday.

There were two performances starting from Park Lane and processing to the Recreation Ground. The pageant was based on Queen Elizabeth’s granting of a charter in 1563 to the Grammar School. The organisers made it clear that there was no evidence that the Queen attended in person. The pageant

The cast of Episode 3 in the ‘Pageant of Wimborne’. This episode was undertaken

by Toc H. The pageant was written and directed by L.H. Mottram

Charities Fair Raises Almost £4,000 For Charity 26 Local Charities and Organisations, manning 35 tables took part in the Grand Charities Fair organised by Wimborne in Bloom and held in the Allendale Centre, Wimborne Minster on Saturday 11th November. Between them they raised nearly £4.000 for the various causes they represented. Stalls included those raising money for Breast Cancer, Pramacare, The Samaritans and The Children’s Society.

The Town Mayor, Cllr Terry Wheeler who opened the Fair also had a table raising money for his Charities, Wimborne in Bloom, Friends of Victoria Hospital, Walford Mill Education Trust and the National Gardens Scheme.

Richard Nunn, Chairman of Wimborne in Bloom said, “that despite our ‘usual’ weather for the day, rain again, it did not appear to put people off coming to support the event”. He said, “a huge

thank you to the Charities who had tables and for the Publics support of this now annual event in the Town Calendar. We had around 550 visitors and we hope that the Fair gave the various Charities and Organisations represented an opportunity to sell their wares and publicise themselves especially ahead of the Christmas Season”.

Wimborne in Bloom itself had a successful table with five Hampers as prizes and also the proceeds from the entrance money. The overall amount raised for Wimborne in Bloom was close to £900 (which is included in the overall total above). Two of the Hampers were generously donated

by Pamphill Dairy Farm Shop and Edwards Estate Agents.

Next year’s Charities Fair will be held on Saturday 10th November 2018.

...the hidden gem of Three Legged Cross Nestled at the heart of the Woolsbridge Industrial Estate in Three Legged Cross is Select Interiors, specialists in the design and installations of the highest quality fitted furniture. Founded over 20 years ago, this family run firm is owned and managed by Peter and Karen Biss.

With their eye for detail and focus on ensuring the highest quality finish, the company has its own factory for the manufacture of all its units. To achieve the full final product, all the installers and fitters are employed by the company, not sub-contractors.

All the images here are of completed

installations in the local area. The quality of workmanship is clear to see and you can also visit the showroom to view some more examples of how you can make the best use of the space in your home.

There are amazing designs showing how you can maximise even the smallest of corners, right up to a full room.

With their friendly and helpful approach, you can be sure of a personal, bespoke service that is tailored to your needs.

The designers even produce full CAD drawings of how the finished product will look like to ensure that everything is true to your dreams, even before the installation work is begun.

“We are delighted with the finished product, it has all gone in extremely well. As you will know this is the fifth occasion that Select have completed work in our home. 3 bedrooms, a utility room and now our kitchen; testament to how pleased we have been. The man who made it complete was Paul. You can spend a fortune on units only for poor fitting to ruin the job, but Paul’s workmanship is the best of any tradesman who has ever completed work for us. He was efficient, thought things through, nothing was too much trouble and does the work as if it were for his own home. He is a credit to your company.”

Adventures of Nellie

28

The Adventures of Nellie The Dorset Publications Camper Van Well Nellie was rather proud of herself this month as she was invited to be the guest of honour at the prestigious local Horticultural Society yearly awards ceremony. Not only that she had to present the 113 awards to all of those very talented people!

She could hardly contain her excitement. All raring to go one fine Saturday morning, she tooted her horn, off she skipped and we certainly arrived in style.

What is really amazing about these clubs and societies is that they are run by very dedicated, local people who literally spend hours of their own time having meetings, followed up with minutes and reports and then of course there are all the preparations for each event.

Arriving in the hall there were

Beautifully decorated table ready for lunch

The VIPs arriving in style!

tables and chairs set up for over 60 people with a full lunch all neatly covered over with foil for each attendee. “Custom Lunches� had prepared the wonderful ham salad. It was fresh and tasty, and highly recommended! Nellie loved it. The committee had done a fantastic job.

The table decorations on each table were beautifully presented and immediately showed the talent we were surrounded by.

Then there were the desserts!

Oh, how tasty they were. All freshly cooked by one of the very experienced committee members.

Stephen had two different desserts and Nellie - well, I think she lost count! About those thighs‌ is there any wonder? The wine was flowing at the bar and spirits were very high.

The presentation of the awards was a sheer delight. One gentleman won seven different cups! How talented is he. We all know it is the taking part that counts… but winning is such fun, let’s face it! There were prizes for flower decorations, vegetable growing, cakes, crafts and all sorts of flower growing.

Everyone in the room deserved a medal for taking part and creating such a great team event.

In today’s modern world of TVs, computers and high tec phones it is so refreshing to see these clubs thriving. What Nellie realised is that it is down to the individual committee members who keep the flame alight and enthuse people to take part.

It is good to know that these clubs very much still exist, and it is up to us to find out what is available locally and have the confidence to go and take part.

When you do it is a lot of fun. You meet like-minded people, have a laugh and learn something new.

The full array of awards to be given

Sylvia serving up her delightful desserts

Nellie loves to communicate, enjoy herself and make sure others do too. These clubs provide coffee mornings, outings and shows, so Nellie says, “Go on take the plunge and join a club or society near you!” It could be a sport’s club, flower arranging, cycling, singing, amateur dramatics, the Lunch Club or the knitting club.

There is something for everyone and you will not regret it, if you take a look.

Nellie wishes you a truly magical Christmas and hopes that 2018 brings you much laughter and activity. Where will she take us this coming year?

Renaut Koleos 2017

By Tim Barnes-Clay, www.carwriteups.co.uk

The Renault Koleos won’t rock your world, but it’s a decent enough SUV. It looks a bit too like many other SUVs out there – most noticeably the Skoda Kodiaq, but it’s an impressive car, nonetheless. I got behind the wheel of the flagship trim level – the Signature Nav, which has a generous amount of Kit, comprising big 19-inch alloy wheels, a sat-nav, a touchscreen and leather-bound seats. The car’s infotainment system, accessed via the touchscreen is easy and selfexplanatory to use, and the Renault is practical, offering cubby holes and four USB slots. What’s more, the Koleos is endowed with good quality soft-touch plastics and the hide wrapping the seats and steering wheel is top notch.

The top-of-the-tree 2.0 dCi 175 AWD X-Tronic Koleos I drove really is the bee’s-knees, in terms of out-and-out technology and cabin refinement. The layout is well thought out for driver and passengers, and room is more than respectable.

The wheelbase is the same as the X-Trail’s at 2,705mm – and this equates to awesome legroom. Better still, the Koleos’ load area is 29 litres bigger than the Nissan’s – measuring 579 litres. Alas, take a tape-measure to the similar-looking Skoda Kodiaq and the Czech-made car’s boot is 630 litres. Oh well, you can’t have everything. Strangely the Gallic car brand isn’t providing the Koleos with a seven-seat option, though. This could be a deal-breaker as Skoda’s Kodiaq does. Renault gets away with it, however, by explaining that you can always go for the Grand Scenic if you need all those seats.

On the road, the Renault Koleos is well-behaved and easy to like. Zero to 62mph arrives in 9.5 seconds and the top speed is 125mph, so the car has plenty of ‘go’ for motorway commutes or for overtakes on lesser roads. The Koleos has 174 horses under its ample bonnet to provide such power,

and this helps tug the car along, even with five-up and a fully laden boot.

The auto ‘box isn’t bad, even though it’s a continuously variable transmission (CVT). This means the transmission shifts through a constant range of ratios. Alas, CVTs don’t always work as seamlessly as they should, resulting in a rather jerky driving experience. Nevertheless, I’m pleased to report Renault has stuck an advanced CVT into the Koleos that uses technology to copy a sequential ‘box. This makes the car painless to operate.

The Koleos’ride is super comfy, with its soft suspension making you all but forget the existence of potholes. But the squidgy springs don’t wreck the handling; if anything, the French SUV comes across as predictable and steady. The Koleos I drove had all-wheel-drive, so I also tested it off-road. Because the car has good ground clearance I could drive it over stones and hummocks without fear of ripping bits off the underneath of the Koleos. Furthermore, the Renault grips well in mud and anything not resembling tarmac. It’s no Land Rover, but it’s a great asset to have if you live in the sticks, or you plan on lugging a tin-tent to a grassy caravan park or suchlike.

The Koleos is a car that is roomy and well-appointed. It also flies the luxury SUV flag for Renault. This means it could attract fresh customers to the brand who are looking for an SUV with a bit of French flair..

Do you drive an automatic car?

The majority of car manufacturers recommend changing the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) on automatic gearboxes every 40,000 miles.

We have invested and are now equipped with the latest ATF exchanger machine, which runs flushing detergent through the gearbox, thus ensuring a 100% exchange of the total fluid capacity, unlike traditional methods.

Are you experiencing any of the following?  Rough gear change during acceleration  Slow or delayed gearshifts  Difficult to move from Park to Drive/Reverse

Gardening Tips

36

On Your Plot Scarves at the ready

December is perhaps the one month where, in the build up to Christmas with roaring fires and shorter days, even the hardiest of gardeners may struggle to get out there and do the necessary for their plots.

December often means hard frosts and you need to harvest your winter cabbages, celery and cauliflowers this month. Parsnips and swedes are pretty hardy so if you are a bit overrun with your crop you can keep these in the ground until you need them. If bad weather is forecast then keep some straw handy to cover them over and stop the ground from freezing thema in. Make sure that you check your stored crops for any sign of disease and remove any that look problematic.

If the ground isn’t too sticky then this is also a great time to get out your hoe and work between your vegetable crops. Look out for any plants which might have been lifted by frost and press them gently back into the ground.

Keep an eye on your Brussels too - these should be starting now so try cooking them in different ways in your meals before the ‘big day’ (adding a spot of garlic can make all the difference) until you find something suitable to go with the bird. You don’t just have to eat them on Christmas Day you know!

Be mindful of any snowfall this month or in future weeks and help out your plants and shrubs as best you can by brushing off any settled snow. This helps to prevent any damage with branches breaking under the weight. Just make sure you if you have small children they don’t take this as an opportunity to flick snow everywhere otherwise your quiet gardening time could suddenly turn into an impromptu snowball fight!

Birds at this time of the year need all the help they can get too. There are some great plants that you can introduce to help them as well as popping out the traditional feeders. These

include hawthorn, holly, beriberi and indeed your holly can double up as a craft project for indoor decorations over the festive season.

If you are planting these types of shrubs for our feathered friends then do try and put them somewhere quiet in the garden where the birds won’t be frightened off.

Sit back at your window and watch them feed contentedly whilst you enjoy the view. Why not get out a few gardening books, grab a cup of tea and imagine how you’d like your garden to look next summer? More or less vegetables? Bigger shrubs, more colour?

Whatever you choose, pat yourself on the back for all the hard work you’ve done this year and think how green your fingers really could be!

Jobs for December:-

• Continue collecting falling leaves and put them in a leaf mould cage ready for next year.

• Take hardwood cuttings of soft fruit.

• Cover your compost bins • Pop some more manure into your digging efforts.

• Keep an eye on any slugs trying to get at your potatoes • Keep your bird feeders topped up, especially if there is ground frost or snowfall.

• Keep mice away from your harvested produce.

• Cut back any creepers that have become a bit excitable during the year

Fundraising Ghost Walk “Fascinating”

A fundraising evening walk which gave ghostly insights into Wimborne Minster’s ancient past was enjoyed by the Friends of Wimborne Library. Local author and historian Malcolm Angel kindly gave his time to take the group by torchlight - on a spooky but enlightening tour of the town’s most ghostly hotspots!

It became clear that many of the spectres love Wimborne so much they just do not want to leave! It seems some even tidy up a room to pay for their keep - or just hang around to provide entertaining distraction.

“I found it really fascinating and didn’t know there was so much

paranormal activity in the town,” said local resident Andrea. But with the town being steeped in history and mystery - going back centuries - is it any wonder? one might ask.

Pre-booking advised for upcoming Ghost Walks. Further details telephone Gullivers 01202 882677.

The Friends of Wimborne Library were very grateful that the event raised much needed funds for the Friends to continue their support for the library and thanked Malcolm Angel for giving his time, free of charge, to organise such an entertaining - and illuminative event!

Celebrity Interview:

Michael Caine

By Tim Saunders Surrey resident Maurice Joseph Micklewhite is one of the most famous English actors. More commonly known as Sir Michael Caine CBE, he has appeared in more than 115 films since he was 20 years old and they have grossed more than $4bn.

Aged 84, the Oscar winner, who is worth an estimated $75m, is as energetic as ever but fears for the future. “I know my days are numbered and that’s the main worry,” he told The Sun on Sunday.

“I’ve had to cut back on the drinking and I’m always looking up what’s the best thing against cancer, so I’ll eat that or do this or not do that.

I’ll probably drop dead talking to you but you know I’ve lost 13 kgs just because I want to see my grandchildren. They’re twins of six and a boy of seven. I’d like to get to 17 for the boy.” His wife Shakira, who he has been married to since 1973, has helped him stop heavy drinking and he enjoys a very healthy lifestyle which includes no sugar, salt or gluten. The secret of a long marriage according to Michael is two bathrooms!

This healthy regime has helped the veteran actor, renowned for his distinctive cockney accent, to tackle his latest project; the film of the Hatton Garden robbery, expected to be released in 2018. It portrays the audacious £200m safe deposit robbery of 2015, planned and executed by four elderly men. Michael, who takes a leading role in the film, acts alongside Ray Winstone, Jim Broadbent and Tom Courtenay. Six members of the actual gang were sentenced to seven years imprisonment.

However, a seventh member remains at large and £10m of gems remain missing. Often as actors

become older they fret about whether any roles will still come their way. But when Michael read about the robbery in the newspapers he said he would love to star in a film about it if somebody would only write it.

The London born actor, who incidentally voted for Brexit because he wanted freedom, has appeared in numerous blockbuster films including the Batman trilogy, Going in Style, Get Carter, Youth, Alfie, Harry Brown, The Italian Job and Zulu.

He also played Ebenezer Scrooge in The Muppet Christmas Carol in 1992. He has two children.

All of this is a long way from where he started as an assistant stage manager who would also perform small walk-on parts for the Horshambased Westminster Repertory Company who were performing at the Carfax Electric Theatre. By 1954 he found himself in London. And two years later he was starring in his first film A Hill in Korea.

Michael Caine is one of only two actors nominated for an Academy Award for acting in every decade from the 1960s to 2000s (the other one being Jack Nicholson; Laurence Olivier was also nominated for an acting Academy Award in five different decades, beginning in 1939 and ending in 1978).

In 2000, Caine was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in recognition of his contribution to cinema.

Michael is a fan of chill-out music and released a compilation CD called Cained in 2007. He provided vocal samples for the Ska-pop band Madness for their 1984 hit “Michael Caine” as his daughter was a fan. He has sung in film roles as well, including Little Voice and for the 1992 musical film The Muppet Christmas Carol.

It is possible to rent a holiday home Michael owns, a fancy 4,154sq ft luxury Miami Beach apartment in America for just $29,000 a month. Or it’s yours for a mere $8.7m.

Michael shares the same birthday as my wife, Caroline, March 14. www.michaelcaine.com Tim Saunders is an author, journalist and businessman.

He meets celebrities, goes on holiday and road tests cars.

News from Westminster Looking back over the last few months provides a very good snapshot of the varied life of an MP. In Parliament I have had meetings with Ministers – whether briefings in Downing Street about the EU, more informal discussions about the Armed Forces with military personnel, discussions with foreign delegations such as with the High Commissioner for Singapore, and updates from Secretaries of State on a variety of issues.

I have spoken in over 80 debates in the House over the last year, on a diverse range topics; from Climate change to tax, and Counter-Daesh operations to Telecommunications. Many constituents contacted me about the Assault on Emergency Workers Bill which I was pleased to be able to support. I am on the Bill Committee for this, so will be having regular meetings to hear evidence from organisations and members of the public before it becomes law. This Bill means that people who assault emergency workers will receive longer sentences.

I have also been contacted by hundreds of constituents concerned about the use of neonicotinoid pesticides on the bee population.

I am a member of the All Party Group on bees, and my position has always been that we must take a scientific approach. The government have examined all the evidence, and agree that neonicotinoids do harm bees, and therefore supports further restrictions on the use of these pesticides.

I continue to meet charities regularly in Parliament, and recently heard about the great work of Shared Lives South West. They provide care for vulnerable adults in people’s homes, ensuring a supportive environment. I also dropped in to hear about the work of The Little Princess Trust, which provides real hair wigs for children suffering from hair loss. A local schoolgirl from Dorset recently sent them her newly cut hair to enable another child to benefit from this special charity.

I was pleased to meet a group of constituents who had come to

Parliament to discuss school funding. Dorset and Poole are going to receive an increase in funding for their schools, and I will continue to press or better funding for education in our area.

In the constituency, I have recently visited a local pharmacy to hear about the services they can offer people, and had my flu jab whilst I was there. I am always keen to support local businesses, and will be involved in an event with Wimborne Business Improvement District supporting small businesses before Small Business Saturday.

I would like to wish you all a Happy Christmas and peaceful New Year.

I continue to hold regular surgeries for constituents. If you have an issue that you need help with, please do get in touch; email me on michael.tomlinson.mp@parliament.uk or contact my office on 01202 624216. You can also follow what I’ve been doing on Twitter @ Michael4mdnp or Facebookwww.facebook. com/michael4MDNP.

Tastes so good...

GRANNY’S XMAS PUDDING

The stout in this recipe will add the moisture to the pudding and the cocoa powder makes the pudding look lovely and dark.

Ingredients: 1oz mixed peel 1oz ground almonds 2 medium sized eggs ¼ teaspoon almond essence 2 teaspoons brandy 1 can of stout 2 teaspoons cocoa powder ¼ teaspoon nutmeg ¼ teaspoon baking powder ¼ teaspoon mixed spice 4oz plain flour 4oz breadcrumbs 4oz beef suet 4oz brown sugar 4oz raisins 4oz sultanas 4oz glace cherries 1 grated lemon rind ½ apple grated ½ carrot grated

Equipment: 2 pint pyrex bowl, pudding bowl, clean tea towel or pudding cloth.

Method: Place all the dry ingredients in a large bowl and mix together. Add the eggs and the brandy and mix then pour in the stout gradually and keep stirring until your mixture is the consistency of a loose cake mix. Grease your pudding bowl with a little butter and pour in the pudding mix. Cover with foil and then a tea towel or pudding cloth and tie it to the top of the bowl, this is to prevent any water getting in. Place in a large boiling pan and fill with water ¾ of the way up the side of the bowl. Boil on a moderate heat for 6 hours keep topping up the water with boiled kettle water if the level starts to drop. When the pudding is ready turn it out and leave to cool. These puddings can be stored wrapped in foil from now until Christmas, to reheat just place the pudding back in the bowl and boil for another 2 hours on Christmas day. Can be served with a sprinkling of icing sugar on the top or pour on ¼ brandy and light for a flaming Christmas pudding Lindsay Crozier & photographs by Nigel Maisey
