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.

Dear Wimborne, Merley & Colehill residents, Happy Mother’s Day to all our wonderful Mums, Grans, Nans and Carers! Easter is also early this year and very nearly upon us, so we do hope you get to spend some time with family and friends and that the weather is kind to us all and we can get out and about! Spring officially starts on Tuesday 20th March which means we have daffodils, hyacinths, crocuses, tulips and other delightful flowers to look forward to as well as (hopefully) a warmer, milder climate. Marvellous!

This is the time of year we look at doing the spring cleaning. Out with that clutter, and the feather duster! I have already started mine and I have to say I have a really enjoyed it. There is quite some satisfaction in clearing out and freshening everything up. I am not sure how long that attitude will last though…

Just as well we have experts to help make life easier for us. This is where your local Directory comes in useful. Keep it by the phone for when you will need it, after you have had a good read of course and sent in the prize wordsearch. If there is a trade missing, that you need, please let us know and we will do our best to find the right person for you.

We are here to help.

The lucky winner of the last prize wordsearch was Mrs D Mogg. Nellie has taken a rest this month but will be back in all her glory in April. She is very much look forward to the sunshine!

Here’s to a great month of March.

All the Best,

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

Contact us on 01202 894488 to book your automatic car in for a fluid service 441 Wimborne Rd East, Ferndown, BH22 9NA

News from Westminster My family and I very much enjoy walking in the countryside in Dorset. It always makes me both sad and angry to see the amount of litter by the side of the road. I frequently arrive home after walking the dog with handfuls of discarded rubbish. It is such a blight on the landscape, and I am pleased that local councils are going to have stronger powers to fine people who throw litter from cars.

Therefore, I am once again very pleased to be supporting the Great British Spring Clean which is taking place from 2nd -4th March, the national clean-up campaign led by Keep Britain Tidy. Last year 70,000 wheelie bins of rubbish were collected over one weekend. Individuals, groups, families, schools, businesses and clubs can all sign up and make a difference. Register at www. keepbritaintidy.org/gbspringclean and let’s clean up our country. I know there are some very active community groups who help to keep our local areas tidy, and I would like to thank them for all their hard work.

I know that in Westminster we are keen to reduce the scourge of litter and environmental pollution. We are working towards plastic-free supermarket aisles, and we recently banned microbeads to reduce the amount of plastic going into our oceans. I was delighted to hear that local Dorset brewery Hall & Woodhouse are phasing out plastic straws in their pubs, and instead using biodegradable paper alternatives. Last year I signed the Wimborne War on Waste pledge to reduce the number of disposable cups that I use. I also signed the pledge in Westminster. As a result, I have requisitioned my wife’s sparkly reusable cup, much to her dismay. There are an increasing number of outlets that offer a discount if you bring

your own cup, or allow you to fill a reusable water bottle for free.

We all need to do our bit to help the environment. As well as reducing the amount of rubbish we produce, we can also think a bit more about what we do with our rubbish. There are a range of local schemes to re-use items, rather than just throwing them away, with collections in local libraries and community centres across Dorset. For more details about what can be reused, visit the ideas 2 actions website: http://www. ideas2action.org.uk/ I continue to hold regular surgeries for constituents all year round and 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 or on my website www.michaeltomlinson.org.uk.

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 turning of the seasons...

As winter turns into spring, new life, colours and sounds in the Dorset landscape are emerging for the beginning of a new season.

The winter has been long, so these changes in nature are most welcome, bringing along with them the longer and warmer days we’ve been looking forward to. The first signs of spring will be seeing the seasonal flowers popping up in gardens, woodlands and roadsides.

The delicate and iconic snowdrop and daffodil are usually the first brave enough to bloom, despite the occasional frosty day, with the carpets of bluebells to follow in woodland in April and May. The skies will not only be brighter, but they will also be noisier, as birds such as wrens, blackbirds, robins, finches and even waxcaps, prepare for breeding and start their ‘dawn chorus’ in May. The dawn chorus is one of the best wildlife experiences in the UK, and one not to be missed, even if it means an early start (or if you’re a light sleeper!).

Birds take part in their chorus as they’re looking for a mate and preparing to breed – if you can get up early enough, they are very active just before dawn, when their predators might be able to hear them, but still can’t quite see them.

Butterflies are the next sign of spring. This year, some have been seen as early as January, according to Butterfly Conservation.

The most likely species we’ll see will be those which have hibernated over the winter, as the warmer weather entices them out once again. The brimstone, red admiral and peacock are sometimes seen earlier in spring, with many people reporting the

Robin singing

brimstone flitting around hedgerows and in gardens this time of year. Moths can also be seen this early on in the year, and are often mistaken for a butterfly. Moths have a reputation for being drab and brown but this is not always the case as some are bright and vibrant such as the orange underwing or brimstone moth.

Meanwhile, in our gardens, the transition between the harsh winter and spring is beginning. Do not presume that wildlife still doesn’t need a helping hand though, and keep putting out food and water for the birds, to help them through the colder days. Other tasks for the garden this time of year include putting up bird boxes and creating ‘wild’ areas with logs and twigs, and building a compost, for wildlife to make a home in your garden.

Get out and about this spring and explore Dorset’s best wild spaces. Plan your visit: www.dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/reserves.

How to keep your divorce out of court?

Communication is often one of the first things to

breakdown when a couple separate, but this can be the key to keeping a divorcing couple out of court.

However, the loss of love, trust and respect which

often accompany divorce can make it difficult for a

couple to talk. Our family lawyers recognise that “the

law” on divorce is only part of the solution to helping a couple move on with their lives. The need to help a couple have a constructive and non-confrontational conversation is crucial, especially if they also have children together.

That’s why family lawyers often work with experts in

language and dialogue, known as “family consultants”.

They are trained to understand the whole picture and

buyers being unable to obtain a mortgage or

existing owners being unable to re-mortgage or

raise finances on current leases with the potential of escalating ground rents.

If a leaseholder suspects that

their lease may have an onerous ground rent provision, in the first instance they should

seek legal advice on the lease and the possible solutions

available to resolve the issue.

Jane Colver

will listen without judgment to both parties in a safe, confidential environment.

Then, even when the couple still disagree on key issues, Family Lawyers and Consultants work

together to help the couple reach a compromise.

This often produces a far quicker result, that’s cost effective and prevents the dispute from reaching an expensive and stressful court system.

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

Their experienced designers produce CAD drawings of how the finished room will look to ensure that everything is true to your original vision.

Your 'one and only chance' to sail from Southampton aboard this stunning ship!

Launched in 2016, Koningsdam carries forward all of the tradition, nautical heritage, and signature service and style for which Holland America Line is known —while raising the bar for 21st-century elegance.

18th September 2018 (10 nights) Sail from Southampton & Fly back from Rome to London

Fares from £1399pp

The 2,650-guest Koningsdam is the first of her class, ushering in a new era of Pinnacle-class cruising. Her name’s roots, like the ship itself, are a mix of something contemporary and something classic: “Koning,” means king in Dutch— and is a salute to King WillemAlexander, the Netherland’s first king in more than 100 years.

To bring this new ship to life, Holland America Line commissioned two legendary partners, change-maker Adam D. Tihany, regarded as one of the world’s pre-eminent hospitality designers and designer, and architect Bjørn Storbraaten, the force behind ms Nieuw Amsterdam and ms Eurodam.

Their design cues for Koningsdam?

Light-filled spaces. Fluid curves. A sophisticated interplay of high technology and elegance. With beautiful architectural elements inspired by music.

All woven together in a forward-thinking design approach.

At the heart of the ship, Koningsdam’s central atrium is pure visual drama.

Soaring three decks high, the space is graced by an airy stainless steel sculpture that evokes the feeling of a classical quartet, with strings, arches, and bows. The atrium is capped by a ceiling that serves as a backdrop for subtly changing high-definition projections.

Look up by day to see wispy cirrus clouds floating overhead. By evening, the atrium takes on dramatic lighting hues or reflects the clear constellations of the night sky.

Lions Centenary boost for Avon Heath Country Park

Lions International was founded in 1917 in the USA and now has 1.45 million members worldwide. To mark the centenary, Wimborne and Ferndown Lions Club gave £3720 to Avon Heath to help improve facilities at the park, particularly for local children.

The money has now been used to provide a new rope bridge, which you can see here, together with oak picnic tables and benches, two of the benches being carved with children’s art.

Gardening Tips

a beginner’s

GUIDE Carrots

There is absolutely nothing like a carrot pulled fresh from the ground... ...that wonderful smell, which soon disappears and is never apparent in shop bought ones and the taste of that sweet orange root can only be achieved by growing your own.

They can be sown from March to July and can be grown in containers at least 12 inches deep.

Like any plant with a long tap root, carrots do not like being transplanted so should be sown directly into the soil where they are to grow.

They are happiest in light, rather sandy soil so if you have heavy clay, you should add plenty of sharp sand (not builders sand) Germination won't be so good if the soil hasn't warmed up and it's best to sow the seed into well prepared soil that has already been watered.

It is important to sow the seed as thinly as

possible, which isn't easy as the seed is so small. Try mixing it with a handful of sand which stops the seed from sticking together and makes it easier to see where they're going.

However careful you are, the seedlings will probably need thinning at least once to give the carrots room to swell. This operation is best carried out in the evening as carrot fly can be a problem, particularly in early summer when they lay their eggs around the roots) They are attracted by the smell of disturbed plants and thinning’s should be moved away immediately.

Try growing chives, onions or garlic around the carrots to mask the smell or you could put fleece (available from garden centres or some hardware shops) over the carrots after sowing.
