We at Royal Bay Care Homes believe a care home should be a place: - Where each person is an individual.

- Where there are no unnecessary rules and regulations.

- Where dignity, peace and comfort take priority.

- Where companionship, interest and activity flourishes.

- And where people are supported to lead the fullest possible lives.

At the heart of every Royal Bay Care Home are core values with the emphasis on comfort, compassion, dignity, individuality, personality as well as great food. At Royal Bay our priority is you living your life your way.

We have teams of incredibly caring, dedicated and qualified staff, plus Gold Standards Framework accreditation. Our Homes also have the latest medical and care facilities making them fully equipped to cater for either residential or nursing care needs, depending on the Home’s registration.

Please feel free to contact either of our Home’s Manager at any time to discuss how we can help or visit our website for more details.

Dear Wimborne, Merley & Colehill residents, A Very Happy New Year to You! A new year, a new start. Have you made any plans? We are planning our trips here in the South with our new van, Daichi The Dashing Dude. I definitely want to get out and about again, visiting lots of interesting, fun and historic places, of which there are many! There are also our wonderful beaches and the amazing New Forest with those beautiful horses, ponies, cows and wildlife. We are so lucky to live in such a gorgeous part of our Island, with so much to see and do.

At home there is always a lot to do. Gardening, housework and upgrading our environment to make the most of the space that we have. Do you need any help with all of that? Here in your little Directory there are gardeners, electricians, plumbers, kitchen and bathroom specialists, locksmiths, health advisors, financial advisors, estate agents, computer experts and many more.

They are all here to help you. Please continue to call them for advice and do mention us when making those all-important calls. It makes all our hard work worthwhile. If there is anything you want to see and read about, that we do not provide here, then please call or email me. I love to hear from you.

The lucky first winner of the 2019 prize wordsearch last month was Mr P M Clements. Well done to you, that is a great start to the New Year!

Wishing you all a Fantastic 2019. May you flourish and prosper and be very happy.

All the Best,

News from Westminster You may have seen in the news before Christmas the slightly bizarre news that an animal welfare charity asked the village of Wool to change its name to “Vegan Wool”.

Dorset is well known for its interesting place names, but I had never considered Wool to be one of them. I love the fact that places in my constituency such as Happy Bottom and Shitterton have never changed their names out of concern for political correctness –after all, why should we change ancient names which have endured quite happily for many generations.

I grew up in the rural county of Herefordshire, which has many similarities to Dorset, though fewer strange names! I have lived in Dorset with my family for over 15 years now, and although I am aware that this makes us relative newcomers, it really is my home.

Every week when I return to the constituency from Westminster my heart lifts as I leave the hustle and bustle of London behind, and I can breathe the fresh Dorset air.

We are very blessed to live in such a beautiful part of the country – particularly with the Jurassic coast right on our doorstep. A recent article in the Guardian newspaper suggested that Wimborne is a place that has barely changed since 1951, and that it is a little dull.

I have to disagree with their sentiments. One of the great things about being the MP for Mid Dorset and North Poole is that I get to see and hear about a wide range of events and businesses in this area. From cutting edge film special effects in Sandford, to award winning technological ideas in Poole, to craft brewing in Wimborne, and the volunteer-run traditional cinema in Wareham. It is no surprise that 2018 had a significant increase in visitors to Dorset - there is so much to visit, so much to see.

Members of Parliament are often accused of living in a bubble, forgetting the people who they

represent. But Dorset is my home, and where my family live, and I spend as much time at home as Parliament allows. Yes, I spend most of the working week in London, but Dorset is never far from my thoughts. I am also kept grounded by the many emails and letters which I receive from you, my constituents, for which I thank you.

I do not want to ignore the subject of the day, Brexit, but events in Westminster are moving so quickly at the moment that it would be pointless for me to comment in detail in this column, as it will be sure to be out of date by the time it is published! If you want to find out my view, please do get in touch or visit my website or facebook.

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 Facebook www.facebook. com/michael4MDNP.

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

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 Wimborne 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...

Flock to Poole Harbour January is traditionally a dark and dismal month, but for over-wintering birds, this is a busy time of year, and Poole Harbour is one place we can guarantee will be bursting with (bird) life.

During late summer and autumn birds start arriving back onto the Brownsea Island lagoon to over-winter. The unique location of the lagoon means it provides shelter and food sources in abundance, but its shallow waters mean it’s also still accessible for birds when the rest of the harbour is under deeper water. It’s also a thoroughfare for birds flying from far flung corners of the globe, who use the lagoon to rest and eat before migrating to other winter habitats.

In the past we’ve recorded rare sightings of the semipalmated sandpiper, and in October we were treated to a sighting of the small sanderling visiting from its arctic breeding grounds.

A favourite and frequent visitor to the lagoon is the spoonbill. For many years the spoonbill flock sizes have been building, and in 2014 it peaked to the largest flock of spoonbills ever seen in Britain, with 49 birds recorded in one flock. Other frequent Brownsea Island Lagoon at dawn Photo: Paul Williams

and easily identifiable guests are large flocks of waders, particularly avocets, which are distinguishable by their long blue legs and curved bill, perfect for si�ing through the mud for fish. They breed in east Anglia, France and Germany but the number seen on the Brownsea Lagoon is of international importance, where 1,200 or more can be seen in the winter. The black-tailed godwit breed in Iceland but can be seen through the year on Brownsea Island, with up to 2,500 visiting in the winter to feed on worms found in the lagoon.

A unique partnership between Dorset Wildlife Trust, RSPB, National Trust and Birds of Poole Harbour has been set up to run boat trips around Poole Harbour during the winter months, so visitors can get a first-hand experience of the thousands of birds feeding and roosting on the Brownsea Island Lagoon, when the rest of the island is closed for winter. Tickets start from £25 and trips run on 6th, 10th 20th January and 3rd February. To book, visit nationaltrust.org.uk/ brownsea-islands/features/poole-harbourbird-boats or by calling 0344 2491895.

Optimal Movement for Wellbeing Optimal Movement for Wellbeing is a new type of movement class created by Ali Todd at Wellbeing Now. Ali trained 15 years ago as a Touch for Health Kinesiologist, which is a natural health therapy helping people to overcome a wide variety of health difficulties, she realised that by giving people specific exercises to do that her clients felt more in control of their health and tended to get better quickly. This set Ali on a journey to discover how movement can improve every aspect of our health, physically, mentally and emotionally.

Ali also trained as a Pilates teacher at the renowned Scott Studios and then went on to discover the work of a remarkable lady called Ruthy Alon whose work is known as Movement Intelligence, which is based on her 60 years experience of the Feldenkrais

OPTIMAL MOVEMENT FOR WELLBEING Combining Movement Intelligence, Touch For Health and the principles of The Feldenkrais Method to make changes through moving mindfully.

method. Ruthy’s work was to have a profound affect on the way Ali viewed the teaching of movement. It is such a different approach. MI works by moving slowly and mindfully to create change. When we move with awareness and know how we are doing what we are doing then it is the nervous system that can create significant changes quickly and effortlessly.

Ali combined her training in Pilates, Movement Intelligence and her experience as a Kinesiologist to create Optimal Movement for Wellbeing. The people in her classes are often astounded at how different they feel after class, they feel more relaxed, less stressed, taller and they find that they are better coordinated and move with more clarity. One of her clients even remarked that the classes had ‘changed her life’.

Ali runs regular Movement Intelligence/ Optimal Movement workshops and runs regular weekly classes in Wimborne and Ferndown and is available for 1:1 sessions.

Wills, Property Protection Trusts and Lasting Power of Attorneys We discuss the difference between legal professionals and the benefits of home visits for clients.

We are often asked what is the advantage of using a member of the Society of Will Writers and Estate Planning Practitioners (SWW) over a more conventional high street solicitor.

There are many good reasons, here are just a few: 1. Members of SWW are fully trained specialists in the field of will writing and estate planning. All have professional indemnity insurance, are regulated and adhere to the SWW code of practice.

2. Members also provide clients with the convenience of attending them in their own home and at a time that is suitable.

3. Taking instructions in the privacy of the client’s home is not only about

convenience. In the absence of such a service many people who need a Will or Power of Attorney’s would go without if they were housebound, elderly or frail and could not get to a high street solicitor.

As a member of SWW, Dorset Wills has a totally transparent pricing policy. Our prices are clearly shown in all our adverts and we will send you a full pricelist with confirmation of your FREE home visit appointment.

We offer various packages to make the whole process of getting your affairs in order both simple and cost effective.

It is estimated that 67% of people in the UK do not have a Will or Lasting Power of Attorney in place. With almost 1 million people living with dementia and the total growing yearly, perhaps now is the time to call Dorset Wills on 01202 065953.

Do you want to protect your family and loved ones?

Probably the most important documents you will ever own.

Brand New Year… Brand New Brand?

THINK YOU DON’T NEED A BRAND?

NOT JUST A PRETTY FACE…

think again! last month i saw a baby blue van drive by with white lettering on the side that read simply ‘Painter and decorator’. in a way it was very attractive and understated and i am in the market for painter and decorator having recently moved house too… great!

But wait… that’s all it said on the van.

No phone number, website, not even a company name i could go home and Google!

Now think of all the white vans scurrying around every day with absolutely no branding on the side of them. all of those missed opportunities to engage with potential customers and earn some extra income.

Your brand is and can be more powerful than you think. it can bring in work whilst you get on with your job, it talks to your customers when you can’t and does so much more…

Many people make the mistake of thinking of a brand as just their logo… but there is so much more to consider. Your brand is actually compsed of 6 elements…

Is 2019 the year you invest in your brand?

WordS your brand message and copy PiCtUreS your logo, style, fonts and images valUeS what your business stands for PerCePtioN how you are viewed by the public StorieS your story and your customer’s journey eXPeCtatioNS what you bring to the table Navigating all this can, at times, seem daunting but with design services and support from MerleyBird, you can futureproof your brand!

Keeping it in the (Lions) family Last month saw the enrolment of two new members to the Wimborne and Ferndown Lions Club which brought the total of new members enrolled this summer to four and the club membership to 22.

It has indeed been a bumper summer in more ways than one.

The picture shows new members Lena Garrett and her partner Daniel Whittle, with other Lions watching as Daniel is “badged up� by Lion Ken Taylor. The other new members are Jane Beck and Roger Male.

It is worth noting that all four have helped to bring the club average age down significantly.

This enrolment was a very special occasion as Daniel is the son of Lions legend Albert, who was a founder of the club in 1969 and served as a Lion for 48 years until his death in October 2016.

Apart from being a champion speed skater in his youth, Albert held all the major offices of the club, being elected president three times and district governor at one time.

Gardening Tips

34

On Your Plot Planning veg for the year ahead If you’re new to veggie growing then this is the ideal time to start planning for the year ahead. Think about what space you have available for your crops and plan what you would like to grow and where.

Jobs for January:-

• Plan your crops • Protect crops against the cold and from pests such as pigeons • Sew lettuces indoors • Start rhubarb crowns Gardening may be the last thing on your mind in the cold weather but this is the perfect time to plan what to grow and where this season.

It’s easy to get carried away when looking at catalogues or impressive displays of seed packets - but remember that it only makes sense to grow what you are likely to eat! If that still leaves you with a list that exceeds the space available then it may be wise to trim back on crops that take up a lot of space or are easily and cheaply available from local sources (potatoes perhaps?). Think about concentrating on plants that will crop quickly allowing the space to be used again. Remember also that you can use patio containers and grow bags to add extra growing space.

Once you have your list split your available space into 3 (or 4) areas and then group your crops together by family so that they can be rotated around the areas in a 3 or 4 year cycle.

Group the cabbage family together, then the onion family along with the pea and bean family, and finally potatoes, tomatoes and the carrot family.

This is a great time of year to seriously consider making some raised beds, if you don’t already have them. Make sure that they are not too wide for you to easily reach the middle from either side and that there is sufficient room

for easy access all the way around. The deeper you can make them the better and higher beds will mean less bending when you are planting out seedlings, harvesting or weeding.

If you have large areas of bare soil, awaiting planting, then you may like to think about covering them with black plastic, or cardboard, to protect the soil against the harsh January weather. Crops still growing, such as purple sprouting broccoli, will benefit from protection against hungry pigeons - try covering with wire mesh, fleece, or some homemade bird scarers (try stringing up some old CD’s).

For those who are keen to get sowing, you can try a few lettuces. Start off on a bright, sunny windowsill, thinning down when they are large enough to handle. Grow on in frost free conditions such as a shed, or polytonal before finishing off under cloches. If you haven’t already planted shallots then it’s not too late to think about it, but don’t put them in when the ground is too wet or they may rot.

Start saving empty egg boxes ready to chit your seed potatoes before planting. Just pop them into the egg boxes, sprout end up in a cool but frost free place and wait for the shoots to appear. You’ll also find the boxes useful for starting tiny seedlings off in months to come as they grow they can be planted straight out with no disruption as the box will simply rot down.

And finally, if you have space, you may like to think about starting off some new rhubarb crowns towards the end of January.

Naturally good...

ROASTED ACORN SQUASH Ingredients for 4 servings: 1 large acorn squash ½ tsp smoked paprika 2 cloves garlic (minced) Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper ½ tsp mustard powder ¼ tsp onion powder 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 2 tbsp unsalted butter ½ red onion 1 tbsp olive oil 2 oz (60 g) soft goats cheese Small handful fresh mint Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method: 1. Preheat the oven to 400F/200c 2. Cut the squash into 6 wedges leaving the skin on.

Remove the seeds and place onto a baking sheet skin side down with the flesh facing up. Drizzle the wedges with olive oil and add the butter then sprinkle over the paprika, garlic, mustard and onion powder and season well.

3. Cover the tray with foil and make sure that it is pressed down well so that the wedges are sealed in. Place the tray into the oven to bake for 45 minutes; they will actually be steaming in their own juices at this point.

4. Meanwhile slice the onion and place into a frying pan with the olive oil, gently sauté the onion slices on a medium low heat until they are caramelized, set to one side.

5. After 45 minutes of cooking remove the squash from the oven and remove the foil cover, place back into the oven for 10 minutes to roast, after ten minutes top each wedge with caramelized onions and some crumbled goats cheese and place back into the oven for a further 5 to 10 minutes until golden brown.

6. Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving plate, sprinkle with freshly chopped mint and serve.
