We are coming to my favourite time of year, the summer. I love nothing better than to sit in the garden with a cup of coffee listening to our beautiful English bird songs. It is also great to be able to go out and see new places, visit friends and enjoy some space, whether it is by our amazing coastline with some of the best beaches in England, the New Forest in all its splendor and magnificent wildlife or in the countryside, we have it all here on our doorstep.

Daichi, The Dashing Dude, our new Dorset Publications Campervan took us to the rolling hills of the Purbecks this month, to see Dinosaur Footprints! What a great day out that was.

Good family fun at its best. I do hope you enjoy reading about our exploits, it is just for fun and we hope it gives you some ideas for yourself. We live such busy, hectic lives, it is good to balance it with some time out and good company.

We have also been working hard and now have a brand-new website which we are thrilled with! Our loyal advertisers are all online as well as in the magazines. If you know of an activity occurring, then please let me know as I will add this to our “Local Events� section. The new front cover magazines reflect the new-look, so we hope you like these too.

Do use the advertisers inside! They need you and are delighted when you call them.

Wishing you a jolly June!

News from Westminster Visiting schools and meeting school pupils when they come to Westminster is a part of my job that I particularly enjoy. Let me give some examples of both.

Firstly here in Dorset, I was delighted to be invited by the head boy to visit and be grilled by sixth form students at Purbeck School. They asked a wide range of questions ranging from climate change, to policing, to school funding. We wish our young people well as they sit their GCSE and A-level exams, and it is good to know that they are so well-informed and have such diverse interests and views.

I also visited Bearwood Primary school for the opening of their new outdoor gym. I had supported their application for this funding and so I was particularly pleased to have been able to attend.

Keeping children and young people active is an important part of keeping them healthy, and having an outdoor gym is a fantastic idea to help with that.

I am hoping to visit some of our local sports’ clubs for young people over the summer. Being involved in sport has been a really important aspect of my life, both at school and beyond, and I know that there are many volunteers working incredibly hard for our young people across Dorset, providing some amazing opportunities.

Back in Westminster, I was delighted to welcome Allenbourn Middle School to Parliament a few weeks ago. I described the workings of the House of Commons as a bit like an iceberg. The tip of the iceberg, the most visible part, is the Chamber of the House of Commons. But there is a vast amount of other work that goes on, much of it unseen.

All Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) fall very much into the latter category. APPGS are informal cross-party groups run by and for Members of the Commons and Lords. I am in the All Party Group for autism which has a range of objectives. These include raising awareness of issues affecting people with autism and Asperger syndrome, and listening to them, their families and carers. Recently I was very pleased to attend the first ever autism awareness session for MPs in Parliament. This was run by two National Autistic Society staff members,

and included helpful advice on making my surgeries more autism friendly.

Staying with the education theme, I recently invited all of our local head teachers and chair of governors to attend a meeting at Corfe Hills school. There were a number of issues to discuss, but the reason I called the meeting was to hear directly about school funding. There have been improvements to the way the government calculates funding for schools in Dorset and Poole, but there is much more work still to be done. I will be gathering the evidence from those schools and lobbying the Treasury to ensure that fair funding becomes a reality.

Whether you are a school, a group / organisation or just you as an individual, if you would like to visit Parliament or 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.

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!

Talking about Wildlife...

The Underwater World Whether you’re one minute away from the beach or one hour, for many of us, living so close to the sea is one of the best things about living in Dorset.

Already this year, our marine conservation team have been finding exciting and unusual things washed up on our beaches at low tide. The ‘furrowed crab’ was a great find with it being the first recording of this species for Kimmeridge. This crab is also a ‘climate change indicator species’ as we’re seeing them spread further north, in line with our seas warming up. Other seashore species which have been spreading eastwards into Dorset include the ‘toothed topshells’. These sea snails are common further west but have grown from none at all in the early 2000s to being a common find at Kimmeridge.

The small cushion starfish has also become common at Kimmeridge since the first sighting in 2014, and the exotic-looking anemone shrimp that lives within the stinging tentacles of the snakelocks anemone, has also increased in number in recent years.

This year, World Oceans Day is celebrating our oceans, encouraging everyone to get out and explore their nearest coastline. You could take part in a 2-minute beach clean, try some rockpooling, or even see what rainbow colour wonders lie in the gardens beneath the seas with DWT’s snorkel trail at Kimmeridge. You Cushoned Starfish Photo: Julie Hatcher

could take a special Fleet Explorer Cruise boat trip on 8th June, exploring the marine life living in the Fleet Lagoon at Chesil, or join us for a dolphin watch from the cliff tops at Kimmeridge.

For DWT events: www.dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/events For the snorkel trail and the Fine Foundation Wild Seas Centre at Kimmeridge: www.dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/wild-seas-centre Top three things to look for this summer on the coast: 1. Seahorses: There have been an unusual amount of seahorses washed up on beaches this year.

This could be a good indicator that we have a healthy population in Dorset. Let us know if you find one!

2. Cushion starfish: In rockpools, the cushion star glides along on its myriad tiny tube-feet, as if sliding on ice. This small relative of star fish feeds by everting part of its stomach through its mouth to digest dead and decaying animals and seaweed.

3. Flat periwinkle: Look for the flat periwinkle in seaweedy pools. They range in colour from sunshine yellow, through burnt orange to chocolate brown and are easy to spot amongst the sea wrack fronds they graze on. The yellow shells are particularly easy to spot, looking like discarded sweetcorn kernels!

Southern England Town Criers Annual Competition Held in Wimborne Minster The Town of Wimborne Minster hosted the Southern England Town Criers Competition today Bank Holiday Monday 6th May. Organised

by Chris Brown, Town Crier and Town Mayor’s Serjant and his Deputy Mel Gudger who is Town Crier of Pamphill and Shapwick the event attracted 14 Criers from across a wide area. Originally held as part of the Blandford Forum Georgian Fayre it is now held in Wimborne every other year.

The day started with a Parade from the Allendale Centre led by the Dorset Youth Marching Band to the Town Square. Before ‘Crying’ commenced the Band undertook a display in the Square.

Introducing the Criers Chris Brown welcomed everybody including the Town Mayor Cllr Mrs Kelly Webb who had earlier drawn the running order for the two lots of ‘Cries’. In the morning the first round of ‘Cries’ was the ‘Home Town Cry’ and after a break for lunch at the Allendale Centre the second round of ‘Cries’ was with the theme ‘A Cry of the Criers choice’.

It was a closely fought contest with only half a point separating each of the top three. Winner was Alistair Chisholm of Dorchester with second Christian Ashdown from Haslemere and third Gez Clark all the way from Eccleston.

There were also prizes for the Best Dressed Crier which was won

by Christian Ashdown, the Best Dressed Couple Les and Liz Ellis from Dartmouth and the Best Dressed Escort Joan Dauncey from Melksham.

All the winners were presented by the Town Mayor with an Annual Trophy (to be returned next year) and a Trophy to keep.

Speaking after the event Chris Brown said, “it was a really good competition with a high standard of Cries and a large and engaged audience both in the morning and the afternoon”. He thanked all those who came and the judges for the important task they undertook.

Holmans Donate State-of-the-art Television to Forest Holme Hospice Holmans, a home appliance shop based in Wimborne & Ferndown, have donated a brand-new 65-inch Panasonic television worth £1499 to Forest Holme Hospice, Poole.

As part of their community and charity engagement, Holmans have recently run a competition which saw Forest Holme Hospice receive one of Holmans’ latest 65-inch Panasonic televisions.

Holmans encouraged local groups, organisations, clubs and charities to apply to win the television – specifying why they would benefit from the free TV. After carefully reviewing all of the organisations that applied, the Holmans team decided to donate the television to Forest Holme Hospice in Poole.

Forest Holme Hospice provides end of life care and support to more than 1,000 people each year with advanced cancer and other life-limiting illnesses across Poole, Wimborne and the Isle of Purbeck.

The hospice has a team of specialist doctors, nurses, counsellors and care teams who provide support for adults and their families in a variety of settings.

Charlie James, Fundraiser at Forest Holme Hospice, said: “We’re very grateful to Holmans for this generous donation. I’m sure the patients will appreciate having a new television to watch films and TV series on – especially on such a big HD screen!”

Michael Gray of Holmans, said: “Forest Holme Hospice was everyone’s favourite choice when deciding which charity the TV should be donated to and I’m glad to see it go to a good home. We hope it will bring happiness to the patients at Forest Holme.”

As well as holding this competition for charity, Holmans also hold regular competitions for their customers to win the latest cameras, phones, audio equipment and home appliances for free, such as a Blomberg washing machine competition which was run as part of the recent Wimborne BID initiative, Discover Wimborne.

For more information on Holmans, visit: www.holmans.uk.com

The new television donated by Holmans will be fitted in the lounge of Forest Holme Hospice where patients and their families can relax and watch their favourite programmes on a brand-new screen.

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 & Wight 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 & Wight Wills on 01202 065953 or 01983 623900.

Do you want to protect your family and loved ones?

Probably the most important documents you will ever own.

Experimental midsummer music in glorious Knoll Gardens Fans of experimental music have a rare opportunity to hear In C by Terry Riley, one of the greatest living minimalist composers, in the glorious surroundings of Knoll Gardens in Wimborne in June.

Following their 2018 appearance at Knoll, Dorset-based musical ensemble Gerauschhersteller will return with a special midsummer outdoor performance of Riley’s acclaimed composition at 7.30pm on Friday 21 June.

Riley composed In C in 1964 as 53 short repeated melodic and rhythmic cells in C major. How often each melody is repeated, or how coloured or intensified, is completely the choice of each individual player. Every version is different and the beauty of the piece lies in the variety of harmonic and rhythmic detail generated by these simple cells.

Terry Riley was among the most revolutionary composers of the postwar era; famed for his introduction of repetition into Western music motifs, he also masterminded early experiments in tape loops and delay systems which left an indelible mark on the experimental music produced in his wake.

Stuart Riddle, speaking on behalf of the group, said “In C uses very simple components, and some simple rules, to create a piece that is different and new each time someone plays it – it can be meditative, intense, or even funky. We are really honoured that Knoll Gardens have given us the opportunity to perform on the evening of the summer solstice and take this piece back to its

roots in 1960s counterculture and Terry Riley’s own all night performances” Gerauschhersteller’s new CD features highlights of their 2018 performance at Knoll.

Tickets for this midsummer evening concert are £10 and gates open at 7pm.

Audience members are encouraged to bring rugs, blankets and a picnic to best enjoy this innovative meditative 1960s experience in the garden.

Ticket numbers are limited and can be booked online at knollgardens.co.uk.

The performance is taking place as a fundraiser for the garden’s charity, the Knoll Gardens Foundation. More information on its work is at: knollgardensfoundation.org ch d new ea ferent an “In C is dif is played time it back ce pie ing the we’ll be tak roots in to its re” untercultu 1960’s co

The Adventures of Daichi

The Dorset Publications Camper Van Daichi, otherwise known as “The Dashing Dude”, our new Dorset Publications Campervan, sees himself as a young, playful yet rather debonair kind of guy, so when he decided to take us to see the Dinosaur Footprints in the Purbecks, we were rather surprised. How can anything be that old!? (I did not look in the mirror this morning…) How on earth can these footprints be engraved for so long in the hard Purbeck stone?

What a feat of nature. Our Jurassic Coastline is packed with amazing history for us to explore and marvel at, and Daichi could not wait to get us there.

Dashing along the country roads, bouncing over the hills with magnificent views over the rolling countryside, Daichi was in his element. He is so glad he travelled over thousands of miles of terrain to finally arrive on our beautiful English soil.

Daichi braves the wind at Swanage

Daichi serves up lunch... with a view!

The footprints can be found at Keats Quarry along the Priest’s Way on the Purbeck Coastline. Can you believe that these dinosaurs roamed our land some 140 million years ago!

(Maybe I do not feel so bad about my age after all.) Yes, that long ago and we can still see their footprints today, fossilized in the rock. It is thought that this was a shallow lagoon where these brachiosaurs (translated as “arm lizard”) would gather to drink together. They were long necked plant eating dinosaurs, around 50 tonnes each, or five times the weight of a modern elephant, and measured more than 25 metres from nose to tail. Wow, that’s BIG! The environment was very different then too and shows the ever-changing climate that we live in. It is believed that this area was a sub-tropical wilderness of coastal forests and swamps. Over time, the footprints left in the soft mud were covered over by layers of

29 rock and preserved as the fossils we see today.

Hayden had great fun trying to step from footprint to footprint, to literally follow in the dinosaurs’ footsteps. He finished up leaping (boys…) across at full stride, but even that was not enough.

These dinosaurs were massive.

Quarrymen Kevin Keates and Trevor Haysom discovered this amazing find in 1997 when the site was still being worked and Daichi is certainly glad they did. What a find!

The famous Dancing Ledge is nearby and Daichi was all ears when he found out that this pool was blasted out of the rocks by a former headmaster of Dunford School, so that the pupils could swim in the summer. The school sadly no longer exits but its salty water pool enjoyed by thousands over the years is a playful legacy it has left behind.

It so happens that Hayden, our son had been doing his Duke of Edinburgh Award with his school, and by chance he had done his expedition in the Purbecks with his friends. They had walked for two full days, carrying all their equipment,

One small step for a dinosaur... from the car park at the Sandbanks Chain Ferry to Corfe Castle where they camped for the night, then onto Swanage the next day. They looked pretty exhausted, but all were smiling when they arrived triumphant at their destination. I am sure the dinosaurs would have done this route in no time, with those powerfully long, yet graceful legs. It is fascinating to think that these boys and girls in 2019 took a very similar route to those amazing, extinct creatures of yesteryear, some 140 million years ago. Now there is a thought…

Daichi was very proud he took us to somewhere we had never been before. That is his purpose, with his chirpy step and tooting horn. Where will he take us next, I wonder?

Gardening Tips

On Your Plot

Expanding your horizons Summer, sunshine and strawberries, June is a truly wonderful month! In this time of plentiful growth we take a look at making the most of your waste clippings by turning them into lovely rich compost to use next year, and also how to make the most of every inch of your space.

Jobs for June :-

• Take off the side shoots from tomato plants to avoid them becoming too bushy and overburdened with fruit. Water regularly.

• Garlic that was planted in the Autumn should be maturing now. Lift when the leaves start to shrivel and leave to dry in a warm spot.

• Keep planting - the moist soil, higher temperatures and long days are ideal growing conditions. French beans, courgettes and salad crops can all be sown now.

• Watch out for pests! Think about protecting brassicas before caterpillars start to become a problem.

Every year it amazes me how the plants respond so dramatically to the arrival of the warm weather.

Anything sown or planted out in May seems to positively leap out of the ground and shoot skywards, in many cases quickly catching up with earlier sowings!

Of course the lawn is no exception and if you don’t already have a composting system in place then why not set one up now and make use of some of those endless grass clippings? Ideally you want to have two (or even three) compost bins so that when one is ready to use for the garden you have another filling up and rotting down. You can buy allsorts of nifty looking, ready made, compost bins - some even have clever devices that make it easy to turn the whole bin to help the waste break down - but you don’t need anything fancy.

You can just start a compost heap in an out of the way corner, enclosing it with old pallets, or wire mesh wrapped around four stakes if you want to keep it looking a little neater. So what should you compost?

Well any dead organic matter will decompose naturally but you should aim for a good mix of ‘green’ and ‘brown’ ingredients. Lawn trimmings, veg leaves and peelings provide the green element and you should add a reasonable balance of brown items such as shredded paper, straw, eggshells and even the contents of your vacuum cleaner bag.

Turning the heap occasionally will accelerate the breakdown and covering with an old carpet when it is full will also help. Leave for several months and you should have some great compost!

June is also the time of year when it is easy to start to run out of space on your plot. Everything puts on amazing growth spurts and you are suddenly left wondering where you are going to plant out those tomatoes that you’ve been nurturing in the greenhouse, or finding you’ve no room for the cabbages that you’d like to be eating later in the year.

Time to expand your horizons and make full use of containers and of your borders. Look at the different varieties of lettuce and salad crops - many of these, along with cabbages, can add a splash of decorative, coloured foliage to your borders (and be eaten too!!!). Grow bags are wonderful for crops such as tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers.

They’ll be happy in a sunny spot on your patio but do remember to water and feed regularly. Larger pots can house courgettes and pumpkins, with the exotic looking flowers adding a bright splash of colour. Even hanging baskets can get in on the grow your own act! Look for suitable strawberries or tomatoes and you could be treated to a bumper crop of luscious fruit tumbling down from above.

Sam was also a longstanding member of the New Forest Show’s Cattle Committee. The New Forest Agricultural Show Society set up a bursary in their memory.

The Samantha and Florence Bailey Bursary aims to support young people in agricultural education, with two main aims: • Fund students attending agricultural college, allowing them to begin a career in agriculture.

Ingredients for 4 servings 4 x large free range eggs 100g sliced chorizo 1 onion finely sliced 1 red/yellow pepper sliced 2 crushed garlic cloves ½ tsp paprika 400g can chopped tomatoes 2 tbsp. olive oil Chopped parsley

1. Pre-heat oven to 200c/Fan180C/400F/Gas Mark 6 2. In a heated pan, add olive oil and lightly cook the chorizo and onion for about 4 minutes until soft. Add the pepper and cook.

3. Stir in the paprika and garlic and cook for about a minute before adding the tomatoes to the pan. Simmer until all ingredients are soft.

4. Pour into an ovenproof dish, make four wells and carefully crack the eggs over the mixture into each well, cover with foil and bake in pre-heated oven for approx. 10 minutes or until the eggs are just set but the yolks should still be runny.
