Dear Neighbours, Nellie has written a book! It is full of fun, Edition 145 quizzes, wordsearches, crosswords and games as well as of course her adventures here in gorgeous England. Ideal for the summer! She would be delighted if you would like to have a Stephen & Debbie Corney copy, so please see the with our son Hayden details inside and Nellie will excitedly send you a copy in the post.

It is indeed the summer holidays with the children off school and (hopefully) good old English sunny days. Do you have anything planned? We are off to Cornwall where Nellie is taking us to the beach for a few days of Surf Life Saving competitions then time out chilling as a family. Well I usually ‘chill’ whereas the boys, Stephen, my husband and Hayden our son usually spend hours surfing the waves and generally being really active. I prefer to watch…

While you are having fun this summer why not call in an expert to help in the garden or the house? We have lots of great trades people to help you and they certainly love to receive your calls. As always this is where everyone wins as it keeps our local trades and services busy which in turn keeps our local economy doing well and we all benefit.

Stephen, Hayden and myself, as well as Nellie of course, wish you a wonderful relaxing, or extreme sport summer, whichever suits you. Nellie looks forward to keeping you entertained with her new book!

Best Wishes,

Welcome...

The Rotary Dorset Bike Ride: For families and the hardened cyclists The 6th Rotary Dorset Bike Ride in aid of Cancer Research UK is to be held on Sunday 17th September. The ride caters for all levels from the family to the hardened cyclists with 8 routes from just 10 miles up to the challenging Dorset 102 mile Etape.

The event is very well organised with plenty of marshals, excellent signage with refreshment stops along the way.

We have full back up support including first aid, bike repair or pickup in case of problems. The start and finish is at Longthorns Campsite (next to Monkey World) where there is plenty of parking, and onsite catering plus free massages for riders afterwards.

The event has so far raised in excess of £150,000 for Cancer Research UK and other charities. Although raising sponsorship is not compulsory we hope riders will raise funds for cancer and there are rewards and prizes for those that do, including free cycle jerseys and T-Shirts, plus 6 months membership to the Springfield Leisure club in Wareham.

Flapjacks, Corbens Estate Agent, Dorset Golf and Country Club, Monkey World, Harvest Fine Foods, White House-guardianships, Comax, Dorset tea and local supermarkets.

The event is being organised though the Rotary Club of Westbourne with help from other local Rotary clubs.

To enter go to www.dorset-bike-ride. co.uk or search for Rotary Dorset Bike ride. Entry fee in advance is £20 for 70-102 mile routes and £15 for shorter routes, children FREE for the 10-38 routes otherwise half price for longer routes, plus children get a FREE ticket to Monkey World if they pledge to raise at least £50 in sponsorship. Thanks to our sponsors, all the entry fees go to Cancer Research UK. For more information email david. king@dorset-bike-ride.co.uk or ring 07973 189395.

We would like to thank the sponsors Bloorhomes, Actavo, Longthorns Campsite, Springfield Country Hotel, Dorset

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 C 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 9GUV /QQTU 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...

What lies beneath...

The annual celebration of the sea with national ‘Marine Weeks’ from 29th July – 13th August is a chance for us to all reflect about what the sea means to us. Living in Dorset means most of us are a stone’s throw away from the beautiful beach, with many of us spending our summer swimming in it, walking along it and admiring it from near or afar.

For something that’s such a big part of our lives in Dorset, many of us know very little about the underwater world which lies beneath the waves. Not unlike our neighbourhoods on land, the sea has communities, families and homes which are surviving and reproducing every day; the difference is that we can’t always see this world easily, which makes it hard to understand, and appreciate.

In 2013, Dorset had three Marine Conservation Zones (MCZ’s) designated including Poole Rocks MCZ, the South Dorset MCZ and Chesil Beach & Stennis Ledges MCZ, providing protection for the species living there.

The charm and charisma of the fascinating marine wildlife which will benefit from this protection should not be underestimated in favour of their land-based counterparts. Cuttlefish, for example, are intelligent animals and masters of deception, deploying secret ‘weapons’ with the cunning of James Bond; squirting enemies in a

cloud of black ink, before making their escape, and trapping prey with lightning-fast tentacles.

The black bream which flock to the Poole Rocks MCZ each spring protect their nests to the death and spend weeks creating the perfect nests for thousands of their eggs to hatch.

Wildlife of the sea has some amazing stories and characters, from the bizarre looking tompot blenny, the European lobsters’ eyes popping out from between the crevices, to the iconic dolphins who sometimes venture into our world as we marvel at their speed and agility, jumping in and out of the water.

There are things we can all do to learn about marine wildlife, and also help it. A partnership project led by DWT, Southern IFCA, the NEFS, MCS, Seasearch and 7 Tenths Ecology Ltd has seen the creation of a fantastic website about Poole Rocks MCZ, complete with high quality video and images, to depict life beneath the sea.

Visit www.poolerocksmcz.uk to find out more.

Another threat faced by marine life is marine litter which is hugely damaging to marine habitats, and wildlife that ingest it. You can help by taking part in the #2minutebeachclean the next time you visit a Dorset beach.

Visit www.dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/events to find out about our watery-themed events to get involved with during Marine Weeks 2017.

All-New Peugeot 3008 SUV GT Line

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

It is not unusual to see some big changes between an older and newer generation of the same model, but the all-new Peugeot 3008 SUV looks radically different to the outgoing one.

That exiting generation, introduced in 2008, was a frumpy, chubby SUV that did little to inspire buyers. The all-new Peugeot 3008 SUV, though, is a different animal, burying the clumsy image of the last car six-feet under and achieving the European Car of the Year crown.

Sometimes it can be difficult to separate SUVs out on the road because most of them drive alike. Many are set up for comfort, and that’s what the all-new 3008 is tuned for. The small steering wheel and light handling gives a feeling of sprightliness, even if that’s not the case, as it’s a tall, heavy car. However; that’s not a complaint, the designers and engineers have done a good job covering the traditional flaws of an SUV’s dynamics.

There’s a wholesome medley of engines on offer, as with most Peugeot models: two petrol’s in the shape of a 131PS 1.2-litre unit and a 165PS 1.6-litre turbo. Then there are a couple of turbo diesel engines of 1.6-litre and 2.0-litre capacity. What suits you best is largely going to depend on what sort of driving you do. Short urban trips suit the 1.2-litre petrol more, whereas longer journeys will fit the potential 70mpg obtainable from the 1.6-litre diesel.

I drove the 1.2 petrol in GT Line spec with 131PS, fitted with a manual gearbox. Behind the wheel, things feel dynamic, and the weighting of the steering is spot on. The car grips bitumen like a cat’s claws cling to flesh, and mid-range pulling power is good, so you can pick up the pace easily. The six-speed transmission is slick shifting, and the car delivers a hushed ride. Tyre roar and wind whistle is kept out of the cabin, too.

All this just adds to the 3008’s sense of refinement.

The Peugeot offers a composed ride with seats that provide the sort of comfort and support required for long distance motoring. Furthermore, the car’s suspension sops up potholes without complaining. Significantly, the all-new 3008 doesn’t tip into bends. Indeed, body roll is very well contained. This surprised me, as smaller SUVs aren’t always the type of vehicle to stay so unflustered on twisty tarmac.

The new 3008 comes in four levels of trim: Active, Allure, GT Line and GT. Factory fitted safety kit includes automatic emergency braking and rear parking sensors. The GT Line hasn’t got any extra safety equipment - just sportier looks. But it has all the safety kit you really need, and as with all 3008s, it has a top five-star Euro NCAP safety score.

A car can look great and have all the equipment in the world crammed into it – but it’s no good if it isn’t economical and it doesn’t drive decently. There are no concerns to be had in this area with the 3008 SUV. The 1.2 GT Line’s average fuel consumption of 55.4mpg and 117g/km of CO2 means low running costs, combined with effective performance. 0-62mph is achieved in 10.8 seconds and the Pug’s maximum speed is 117mph.

The all-new Peugeot 3008 SUV’s entry price is £21,795, but expect to fork out £25,655 for the petrol-powered GT Line I drove. A basic Nissan Qashqai costs £18,545, and the new SEAT Ateca is priced from £17,990. But I think the 3008’s extra cost is justified because it feels more upmarket inside than these two rivals. Cabin materials include brushed chrome, large areas of carbon decoration and textiles. They even cover some areas less commonly found in SUVs, such as the dashboard inlay. It’s all very contemporary and attractive. The Peugeot is just as stylish outside, and it drives well, while delivering a comfortable ride for all.

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

 Noisy gear changes or loud running noise  An increase in transmission vibrations

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

Adventures of Nellie

The Adventures of Nellie

The Dorset Publications Camper Van Don’t we just love listening to the young ones talking about their exploits? Well, Nellie is no exception and she loves to hear what Hayden has been up to. Hayden was lucky enough to be chosen to do the ‘Blue Skies’ Programme, through his school.

Blue Skies is part of the Jon Egging Trust (JET) which was set up in memory of Flight Lieutenant Jon Egging, who tragically lost his life while flying in the Red Arrows display at the Bournemouth Air Festival in 2011.

The Trust realises Jon’s dream of inspiring young people through his love of aviation, teamwork and leadership and it supports young people aged 13-16, to achieve their full potential.

This is what Hayden, who is 13, told Nellie…

“Joining the group I felt slightly nervous as I didn’t know what it was about, but very excited about going on some special trips that money wouldn’t buy. The first place we went to was MOD Boscombe Down. We saw some planes, went in an olden day hangar and used night vision torches and goggles. It was very exciting. We were also introduced to the concept of Blue Skies which is to

Jon Egging Trust ready to welcome guests

Nellie with Hayden at Bournemouth University help you with your communication and confidence skills.

Another place we went to was Cobham which is next to Bournemouth Airport. We were challenged with our communication skills here!

My favourite trip was when we went to Winchester University. We got to touch a real life 800 year old skeleton. I put its spine together! On a lighter note we were taught how to calculate a skeleton’s age and gender. I learned all about the different bones in the body and that when you are born you have 300 plus bones, but by the time you are an adult they fuse together into 206. After lunch, we looked at some objects that had been excavated and guessed what they were and what year they came from. I really enjoyed that trip!” Hayden said, with a big smile.

39 “Another trip we went to see Nelson’s Ship ‘HMS Victory’ in Portsmouth. It cost £50,834 in those days to build, which is the equivalent of £60 million now! I think that is what she said, it certainly was a lot and more than most people have.” Hayden looked amazed. “The best part was being able to eat in the officer’s mess, as the vessel is still listed as a Navy Ship and still manned.

They have nearly replaced every single timber log and plank on the ship, except the strut that Nelson supposedly died on. There is no record of where he actually died but this is where all the clues lead to.” Hayden shuddered. “Apparently the ship’s officers were casually walking up and down the Ship out in the open when a French Musketeer got a lucky good shot at Nelson and hit him in the head. Nelson was the Admiral of the Fleet, not of the Ship itself, so he wasn’t running the ship.” Hayden asserted.

“The last trip we went on before the unwanted ending was the ‘Tank Museum’

Blues Skies Year 1 Graduates 2017

Nellie’s tinted windows prevented a few scares at Bovington where we finalised our presentations while looking at some very big powerful tanks. We even got to go on the ‘Chieftain’. This tank was created for the Cold War and could fire every 6 seconds compared to the Russian every 8 seconds.

The Chieftain was the most powerful tank of its time and quite possibly it still is. I got to sit in the Commander’s seat of the tank!” continued Hayden. “We also got to learn some tank movements with some remotecontrol tanks. This was lots of fun!”

“The dreaded day came where we would have to present our speeches that we had created for the sponsors of the Blue Skies and our parents. We were very nervous.

Luckily, I had a skeleton to look at instead of the crowd, as I was talking about our trip to Winchester University! Everyone did their speeches and we all got through in the end!

Then me and some of the other Blue Skies graduates met up and had fun for the rest of the day.

I feel that the Blue Skies programme has helped me to create presentations and help in speaking to crowds. Every one of us has created a team spirit with each other and I feel that we could push each other through anything.

I am looking forward to continuing for the next 2 years with the JET and Blue Skies.

How lucky am I!”, Hayden proclaimed.

Nellie was delighted too.

West Moors Singers West Moors Singers have new rehearsal venue

Our Spring Concerts went down very well with our audiences both at St Anthony’s Church Hall and the Barrington. The Singers gave mini concerts at various venues in the run up to the main events and sang at several old peoples homes, Arthritis Care, and not least of all, West Moors Junior School, where after singing to the enthralled and enthusiastic children we were treated to the children singing their new school song to us. We also made an appearance at the Multi Activity Day on Fryer Field and were well received in the beautiful sunshine.

We have a break in the Summer but start back in September with rehearsals for Christmas. We have been rehearsing for many years at St Martins Church hall and we are most grateful for the hospitality shown to us over the years but with a change of musical director and our increased numbers it is just not big enough to rehearse in comfort. We are pleased to announce that we will in future rehearse at the Community Church on Pinehurst Road. Our first rehearsal wiill be at 7 for 7.30pm on Monday 4 September and thereafter every Monday night. They have a good car park at the rear.

As usual we are on the look out for anyone interested in having fun singing willing to come and join us. At the moment we need some more ladies particularly sopranos. All voices welcome. You do not need to be able to read music but it helps if you can. Our MD Paul Barber is most supportive and provides CD’s or computer files of the individual parts for us to learn from. Just turn up on the night For more information contact our secretary Dianne Tompkins on 01202 512196 or email at dianne@ tompkins.biz.

Gardening Tips

On Your Plot Hoarding

It’s hard to remain excited when you’ve had courgette at every meal for a week, and marvellous though raspberries are there is a limit to just how many you can eat at once. Take a bit of time to store your harvest and you can be enjoying home grown right through the winter.

Jobs for August :-

• Water regularly - try to water either in the evening or early mornings.

• If you are growing main crop potatoes, watch out for signs of blight. Brown patches on the tops and edges of leaves are usually a first sign.

• Pinch out the tops of runner bean stems that are outgrowing their supports.

• Keep harvesting those courgettes!

• Sow turnips and oriental salad plants such as Pak Choi and Chinese Cabbage • Strawberry runners that were potted up in June to produce new plants can be planted out now.

If all has gone to plan (that’s a big if!) then August should be a very satisfying month on your plot, with your hard work being repaid by ample harvests of a good range of fruit and veg.

The reality tends to be that the excitement of seeing your crops grow and ripen is initially followed by much enjoyment of the first fruits of your labour which can soon be replaced by a panic stricken ‘What the heck do I do with all these’! Certain crops (courgettes and tomatoes spring to mind) can almost guarantee this sequence of events!

Sharing with friends and neighbours is great but very often they will have a glut of exactly the same thing at just the same time. What is called for are some simple ideas for storing and preserving your produce. It may be a long time before you are harvesting fresh peas or raspberries again but that doesn’t mean that you can’t be enjoying your home grown produce throughout the winter - it just takes a little planning and now is the time to do it.

Onions (and garlic) that have been lifted and

left to dry can be plaited and hung in a cool, dry place. Net bags, or tights, also work if you don’t fancy plaiting. Potatoes can be stored in boxes or paper sacks in a dark, dry building but you should check them regularly, removing any that show signs of rotting.

A good size freezer is a real boon for making the most of your produce. Blanching and then freezing works for loads of vegetables. Key to success is to cool quickly after blanching so have a bowl of cold water at the ready and don’t forget to label what you are freezing!

Another option, and one that can work well for all those tomatoes, is to find a good recipe that you can cook, freeze and use later (how about a wonderful pasta sauce with your own tomatoes and home grown basil?). Even ‘difficult to freeze’ veg such as courgettes can either be incorporated into a sauce, or blanched, frozen and then added to a stew at a later date.

Cooking and freezing can work well for fruit too - apple or rhubarb are good stewed and frozen all ready for use in a crumble or pie. If you have a truly wonderful fruit crop then why not arm yourself with a good recipe book and get started on some jam making? It’ll be delicious on your toast in the morning, and what better gift than a pot of homemade raspberry jam?

It’s amazing how many books there are that tell you how to grow your fruit and veg, but how little information there is on just how to store it all! One wonderful little book, that deals with just this question is ‘How to store your garden produce’ by Piers Warren. It’s packed with information about how to store just about anything and a great addition to any gardeners library.

Happy harvesting!

Helping to keep the Stories coming…

Sting in the Tale Seeks Trustees and Volunteers Sting in the Tale, a festival of stories, has been delivering epic tales, family friendly shows, historic storywalks, and more than a touch of magic, for well over a decade.

Now, to keep the stories flowing, Sting in the needs enthusiastic people to step forward as Trustees to help develop and manage the organisation.

People with a variety of backgrounds and a range of skills and expertise are being sought, in particular those with financial, legal, marketing, event management or business experience.

Currently a not for profit organisation Sting in the Tale promotes the traditional art of oral storytelling, together with other performance and creative art forms, bringing entertaining and informative events to people of all

Sting in the Tale’s activity is generally focused on a 10-day festival in August, though Sting also works with local schools, care homes and other community groups on performances and workshops that educate and enhance people’s well being.

Anyone interested in getting involved, either as a Trustee or as a volunteer to assist with events, should get in touch via info@ stinginthetale.org.uk The 2017 festival kicks off on Friday 4th August with Arthur, King of the Britons, a family friendly event with Treehouse Theatre at Wimborne’s Allendale Centre.
