Dear residents of Wareham and surrounding area, The summer holidays are just around the corner! Something to look forward to. Whether you are going away or not, we live in such a glorious area that we really do not need to go away, so it is a time of year I most enjoy. On that note I am looking for some good, bright photos of the area to put on our front covers. Do you have one, or know someone who would love to see their photo in print? Please let me know by phone 01929 408080 or send an email to debbie@purbeckpublications.co.uk. We will of course accredit the person in the magazine, so their name will be in print, on Facebook and online too! Nellie took us fishing this month and what fun that was. Do have a read. She will hopefully make you smile. The loyal advertisers are very appreciative of your calls. The index at the back is a quick way to find who you are looking for. If there any trades people you can’t find and need, please give me a call. I will see what we can do to help you. We do have a Facebook page you can like and follow. Nellie has one too! Just put whereisnellie and WarehamDistrictDirectory in the search bar and you will find us. The magazines can be found each months there too, so it is an easy way to read the magazine on your phone. The lucky winner of the prize wordsearch last month was Mrs M Wood. Well done to you! We are hoping the sun shines for June and you are able to get out and about. Have fun!

Monkey World moves infant orang-utan to Europe’s only orang-utan crèche with VIP status throughout the journey Monkey Word has welcomed a new orang-utan this week, 21-month-old Bornean orangutan Loren, and given her a new adopted family. Born in Moscow Zoo, Loren was sadly rejected at birth by her mother and was hand-reared during the first months of her life by the Moscow keepers, while her move to Monkey World was arranged. Monkey World, home of the European Crèche for Orphaned Orang-utans, has a dedicated orang-utan nursery specially designed to develop strength, social skills and climbing confidence. Here infants can grow-up with their own kind, supervised by expert care staff. Straight away the team at Monkey World began introducing baby Loren to her new family and she was instantly accepted by her new adopted mum Roro! Already resident are Sumatran two year olds, Bulu-Mata and Rieke from Budapest and Berlin Zoos. The playful pair have joined Roro and baby Loren and the primate care staff have been pleased to see lively games between the youngsters already. Also part of Monkey World’s orang-utan nursery family are adolescent boys Silvestre and Jin and adult female Oshine. The adult ladies have a job keeping a watchful eye over this growing adopted family. Dr Alison Cronin, Monkey World Director, and Head of Monkey World’s orangutans, Jarno Swandi, travelled to Moscow, courtesy of IAG Cargo and British Airways, to meet baby Loren and travel back with her to the UK. Special arrangements were made and approvals given to allow baby
Baby Loren & new Adoptive Mum Roro Loren to travel in the passenger cabin so that this endangered baby travelled to her new home in comfort and safety throughout the flight. Dr Cronin said, “It took many months to arrange but government agencies from Moscow to London have worked tirelessly and given special permission for baby Loren to travel on board a passenger plane with British Airways and IAG Cargo. As a vulnerable infant, everything was done to ensure Loren’s journey was stress free on her way to get an adopted family that she needs and deserves. Everyone at Monkey World is pleased to welcome Loren, especially her new adopted family of six other orangutans.” Since arriving at the park, Loren was introduced to her new family, starting with adult female RoRo. RoRo’s gentle nature has allowed Loren to settle very quickly, and the pair have progressed to nesting down together in a hammock at night. With a fantastic adoptive mum, and fab new play mates in Bulu-Mata and Rieke, Loren’s future looks bright at Monkey World.

Concerned your tenant will miss payments? What is the biggest concern residential and commercial property owners face when letting out their property to new tenants? Usually, the answer is: having tenants that can’t, or won’t pay the rent. As a property owner, it’s very hard to gauge what type of tenant you’re getting and you never know when problems may arise; sometimes even the best tenants experience unexpected, out of their control, incidents that result in them unable to pay the rent. Where does that leave the landlord? Not all property owners are aware that there is, in fact, insurance cover available that can be put in place to cover for such event. So what actually is available to property owners on landlord schemes? Rent Guarantee Firstly, the guarantee of monthly rent – this is the bread and butter of the cover and claims are usually available on up to a maximum of 12 months’ worth of payments. Unruly tenants If you’re unfortunate enough to have unruly tenants, as part of your insurance policy, you can obtain cover for the costs and expenses in relation to the pursuit of legal proceedings
John Palmer in respect of an insured property arising from: • a nuisance • a trespass • an unauthorised occupation • damage caused to the Insured Property by a third party Eviction Cover If the unruly tenant evolves into a nightmare tenant there is insurance available to cover the costs incurred with having them evicted. If the situation gets even messier… Legal Defence There is specially designed Legal Expenses cover that can be tailored to assist in the defence of your legal rights. The cost associated with defending such actions, or pursuing our own legal rights can be very costly; it’s nice to know that should the worst happen, there is financial support available. Insurance may be boring and feel like a formality, but it can be extremely helpful in testing times for landlords, individuals and businesses if the right cover is in place! If you have any questions regarding your insurance, whether you have the right cover or could get a better deal, call or email John Palmer:

Notes from...
WarehamTown Museum We have been searching through our archives for Wareham Co-op, for a display about the history of the store, and have found out some fascinating facts. Wareham Co-op is first recorded in the town in West Street in 1885 and moved to its current location in North Street in 1923 when the Bournemouth and Parkstone branch came to Wareham. We have also discovered this delightful photo from when the PG Tips chimp visited the Co-op store in the 1960s - the look on the customers’ faces says it all.
The PG Tips chimp in the store
Their display will be running in the store from May 27th to June 11th as part of Purbeck Arts Week Festival, purbeckartweeks.co.uk
10am to 4pm, April to October. Entrance is free. The museum is run by volunteers and there are lots of opportunities to get involved; if you would like to help, contact us via our website www.wtm.org.uk or Facebook page, or call in.
Wareham Town Museum is situated in the Town Hall, and is open Monday to Saturday,

Talking about Wildlife...
Go Wild in June... Nature is calling this June for all to join the Wildlife Trusts’ 30 Days Wild initiative. The challenge, brimming with motivation, wild ideas and examples of activities, has been set up to encourage everyone to get involved with all things wild. The initiative promotes the improved mental and physical well-being gained from interacting with nature, and aims to increase awareness on how to protect our invaluable environment. A Random Act of Wildness, the theme at the centre of the challenge, is about making time daily to connect with the natural world, or simply carrying out a small act to help the environment. You can use ideas you get in the pack as inspiration or create your own Random Acts. It’s also about experiencing, learning about, and helping wildlife in Dorset: the smallest act, such as putting up a bee hotel in your garden, can make a big difference to the little creatures all around us. The Acts of Wildness
Pond Dipping

range from creating an urban haven for hedgehogs to being a citizen scientist and conducting surveys to writing a wildlife poem, or indulging in a therapeutic nap outdoors. The opportunities are endless, and the benefits immeasurable, both for you and the environment. To sign up and for your free pack of ideas, along with a wild badge and a funky wallchart to track your progress, visit www.mywildlife.org.uk/30dayswild. In Dorset, if you are under 18 years of age with a passion for nature, take advantage of being outdoors anytime. Get busy being a shutterbug with your digital camera or mobile, and send your wildlife photos to us for the Pat Dolbear Photographic Competition for Young People, with cash prizes available.

The Adventures of Nellie
The Purbeck Publications Camper Van Nellie took us fishing! This was another new experience for Nellie and she was rather excited. Grandma however was not so thrilled. Having been a fisherman’s wife for over 50 years the thought of one more day by the water was not so inspiring. I am sure any ladies out there with husbands who love to cast a line, will understand her reaction. When Dad proposed to Mum in 1962 he did add… “But I do go fishing…” Mum has never lived it down. As a child, nearly every Sunday of the fresh water fishing season, I loved to go to the ponds with Mum and Dad. Picnic in hand of course. Later when my sister was born, she was less enthralled and used to wonder off looking at the flowers and the birds. She still does that now! My best catch ever was a tench in Ireland when I ‘borrowed’ Dad’s huge rod (I was 13 at the
The boys and some of their catches
Nellie and family after a long day’s fishing time) and refused to let him help me bring the fish in. I was very proud of that one. Guess who takes after her Dad? So, Nellie was ‘chomping at the wheel’ to get going. Hordle Lakes near Lymington she decided to drive us to. It is a great place for the family as well as the more keen, carp fisherman. With separate lakes you can choose your level of skill. Bob’s Lake has recently had 30 pound carp added to it! Can you imagine getting one of those on your line? Well there were certainly men there who were doing just that. One man was having a cigarette after his line broke… he was looking into the sky dreaming longingly about the ‘one that got away’. Maybe us women should try and understand this more… We set up in “Tench Lake”. There was a family right next to us and with all the commotion we created I think they wish we hadn’t. Ever had that feeling? Hayden has fished with Grandad many times. In fact when he was only two years old he picked up a rod as if he was 50 and had done it all

29 his life. Funny how children do that. Now every time we go fishing with Dad we catch fish, and I mean a LOT of fish! Today was no exception. After two hours of catching common carp, F1 carp (those that have no barbels, are a hybrid and cannot regenerate - I found out), mirror carp, roach, and even a tench that Hayden caught, the fish were literally eating out of our hands. It was so good in fact Grandad taught Hayden the technique of “mugging” or “dobbing” where you quite honestly drop the maggot into the fishes mouth! That is illegal in match fishing of course, but Dad said the likelihood of being able to do that up north near Hull where they live, was nigh on impossible. Hayden (and Grandad) had fun with that. Hayden also learned the technique of using a feeding pot off the end of the rod, tipping the maggots into the water right where the float and hook are. Very clever. Now Stephen, unlike his son, was not born with a fishing rod in his hand…. He got the prize for the tiddlers and if he broke off once and lost the hook, he must have broken off twenty times. Nellie tried to tell him that it wasn’t a tug of war or a wrestling match. Maybe a light touch would work? It was all to no avail. The funniest part was when Stephen did get a fish on the hook and promptly started walking along the bank with it, taking the rod over Grandad’s

Debbie getting in on the action too! head (who ducked quickly, looking very quizzical), and continued marching along! Did I laugh. Nellie too! Of course it was another fish that got away and I don’t blame it, it was enough to scare the toughest ones off. We did explain that fish don’t have legs. Poor Stephen. Stick to the day job. Mum and I had gone for a rest. I thought we would be able to sit there for few hours relaxing, but that was not the case. We were up and down taking photos, videos, making cups of tea, getting burgers from the burger bar and generally keeping the men happy while they cast their lines and had a lot of fun. It was a great day all round. I am still not sure why the two men opposite decided to pack up and leave about an hour after we arrived. Oh oh… The skimmer bream were fun to watch on the water, the friendly robin sitting on Hayden’s rod, the gentleman who fishes every day having worked in aviation all his life and could talk for England… It is such a friendly place. The weather was beautiful. It is days out like this with the family that make life worth while. Pleasurable memories we can definitely look back on. Nellie was so pleased she was able to help and create such a moment. That is her purpose and what a great purpose to have. Where will she take us next? By Debbie Corney

Acting Local Supporting local businesses is important. If local businesses die then our towns and villages suffer, so I was heartened on a visit to my accountant Peter Constable of PJC Accounting Limited to see that “Acting Local� is alive and well. When I arrived in the morning Peter and his wife Claire were chatting to Paul of Paul Cake Building and Carpentry Services (Corfe Mullen). Paul was there to replace the Velux windows in the loft. Later that morning, Nick Somper of Goldhill Organics (Blackmore Vale) dropped off Peter’s supply of organic veg. Later

Peter took a call from the Chair of the Swanage Cricket Club and they discussed an upcoming meeting. Peter, unsurprisingly, acts as Treasurer. At 3:30 Peter and Claire popped out to collect their daughter Sophie from the local school where Peter is a Governor. Buying local, making local connections is the back bone of many communities. Yes I know the internet is great and we can’t turn back the clock, Peter would agree, his work is all in the cloud. I didn’t even have to visit him to sign off my last set of accounts. It was done on my phone while I was at a cafÊ. Support the people who are supporting your community. It’s how life in the Purbecks should be.

News from Westminster Who would you contact if your streetlights weren’t working? Or if your bin wasn’t emptied? What about if you wanted to apply for a license to hold a charity race night? Or if you have an issue with your tax credits? What if your local bus stop had been vandalised?
In this country we elect people to run services for us, and all of these things are the responsibility of various different layers of government; whether local or national. Parliament has been dissolved, so currently there are no Members of Parliament. But the other layers of government are still running as normal. In Mid Dorset and North Poole we have the Unitary Authority of Poole, and also Dorset County Council, Purbeck District Council and East Dorset District Council. Last month we had the elections for Dorset County Council, and this month the election is for Members of Parliament that go to Westminster. People have often commented to me that we seem to have elections all the time in Dorset! Different councils are responsible for different things, and where you need to go for help does depend on where you live. Dorset County Council is in charge of education, libraries, social services and transport. They oversee strategic planning, and liaise with the police and fire services. The district councils - East Dorset and Purbeck – oversee housing, council tax, local planning, licensing and cemeteries. Waste collection is a joint operation across Dorset, with the Dorset Waste Partnership working across the county.
description for an MP and each MP has to decide for him or herself what to prioritise and how to spend their time. Personally I feel that it is important to have a balance between the role as a legislator in Westminster and spending time in the constituency meeting residents and working with local councillors. So to go back to our original questions – each one would be solved by a different level of council! A vandalised bus stop would be the parish or town council; licensing is under district council control; streetlights would be the county council; bins are Dorset Waste Partnership; and tax credits could be investigated by your MP. I am currently not an MP, but you can still keep in touch with me – I will be answering any queries in my capacity as a candidate for the general election on Thursday 8th June. michael@middorsetconservatives. org.uk or contact my office on 01202 624216.

There are also town and parish councils, which make decisions at a very local level and have responsibilities for things like footpaths, local signs & certain local facilities. Members of Parliament are responsible for making policy decisions in Westminster. They vote on laws that will affect the councils, but have no direct oversight over the council, and (rightly) cannot overrule locally elected councillors. There is no specific job

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.

Money Saving Tips
Martin
LEWIS +ROLGD\ %RRNLQJV
It’s cold, wet, and miserable, so no wonder this is the peak summer holiday booking period. However, with the pound recently at a 32 year low against the dollar, and matching the awful rates of 2013 against the euro, this year it’s likely to be a challenge to get a decent price. The weak pound not only hits holiday spending, but hotels, car hire and more, so here are my 10 top tips for keeping costs down. 1. Pocket the perfect plastic to make the pound perform. Spend abroad and most credit cards add a 3% ‘non-sterling transaction fee’ which means £100 of euros costs £103 and some then load other charges on top. However, there are a range of specialist cards that don’t add that fee. So, you get that day’s same near-perfect rate that the banks do, in every country. My top two long term picks, as well as good exchange rates, have low cash fees - the www.creation. co.uk Everyday card and www.halifax. co.uk Clarity. Spending on these is super cheap, usually easily smashing the best bureau de change rates. Yet only do this if you’ll repay the card IN FULL each month, to avoid the 18.9% ish representative APR. It’s worth noting if instead of spending on the card you withdraw foreign cash and spend that, you will pay interest even if you clear in full, but even with that added they’re still not that costly. For full info on top cards, and an eligibility calculator so you can see which you’re most likely to be accepted for go to www.mse.me/
payabroad. 2. One hotel room can have hundreds of prices. Once you know what hotel you want, always check to see if it’s being sold cheaper elsewhere, use comparison sites www.trivago.co.uk and www.travelsupermarket.com for a wide-ranging search (and always call the hotel to see if it’ll beat the price). The difference can be £100s. 3. With car hire book it early and buy insurance elsewhere. If hiring abroad, generally early booking is cheaper, what costs £10 a day now can be £40 a day when you get there. Here’s the three key steps: a) Do a comparison to find your cheapest. I’d try www.kayak.co.uk, www.carrentals.co.uk and if needed www.skyscanner.net too. b) Check stealth fuel charges. Some try and make you pay for a full tank and return it empty - adding £80ish if you don’t drive far. The above, apart from Kayak, let you filter by fuel policy. c) Don’t fall for their insurance up-sell. When you pick up a car they’ll often try and fear sell you up to £25/day insurance on top – to cover the large excess if you have any claims. If you’ll pay for this, instead use excess insurance comparison site www.moneymaxim. co.uk before you go and you can often @MoneySavingExpert find a policy from £2 a day. Yet if you do

on a credit (not debit) card which can be €1,000+.
4. Find best holiday cash in seconds. Just +ROLGD\ %RRNLQJV use my www.travelmoneymax.com site which compares 30 online bureaux to find which gives you the best rates in seconds, factoring all fees. 5. Speedily find the cheapest flights. The obvious start point again are comparison sites. My top picks are www.skyscanner. net, www.kayak.co.uk and www. momondo.co.uk which include most airlines and booking sites like Expedia and ebookers. Yet if you really want to slash flight costs, you need to get clever, such as using ethnic specialist travel agents and checking out airline code sharing deals. For full help see www. mse.me/cheapflights. 6. Don’t forget the good old fashion package holiday. Package holidays are where you usually get flights, hotels and transfers in one. They can still be the cheapest especially if you’re going away for 7, 10 or 14 days in a traditional holiday destination like Benidorm. Both www.travelsupermarket.com and www.icelolly.com have comparison sites. Then once you’ve got up a price, if you want to shave a little off, you can call up other agents to see if they’ll sell you the same holiday at a cheaper price. 7. Book travel insurance AS SOON as you book the holiday. Every year people email me saying something sadly akin to, “I’m due on holiday in a few months, but I’ve just been given a cancer diagnosis and can’t go, the airline won’t let me cancel, what can I do?” The answer is ‘that’s what travel insurance is
for’. Yet many people only book it just before they go. Waiting defeats half the point of having the cover – which is to protect you in the event cancellation is needed due to illness, a death in the family or something else. Full help on the cheapest policies, including for over 65s in www.mse.me/travelinsurance. 8. Booked EasyJet – keep checking the price. If your EasyJet price drops after you’ve booked it – excluding in a sale – you can just call it up to ask for the difference back in vouchers. Jo emailed: “We got an £803 voucher... all thanks to you.” 9. Check if your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) is still valid. The free EHIC means if you’re in an EU (and a few others) country you can use a state GP or hospital for the same price as a local, so if it’s free for them, it’s free for you. It’s valuable extra protection (alongside travel insurance). Yet it’s not valid for millions, this is nothing to do with Brexit, but simply that it has a valid until date and 5.3 million expired in the last year. Check yours, if it is, go to www. nhs.uk/NHSEngland/Healthcareabroad/ EHIC to get a new one for FREE (don’t Google this, you’ll find shyster sites trying to charge you to do it who add nothing to the process). 10. Be careful boozing on holiday. A final thought. If you’re going to drink on holiday (and let’s be honest, for many people that’s half what it’s about), remember this may invalidate your travel insurance claim. So, take it easy, and if you won’t take it easy, at least think about what belongings you’re taking with you! @MoneySavingExpert

New 2017 Ford Grand C-Max
By Tim Barnes-Clay, www.carwriteups.co.uk Ford’s Grand C-Max is a car designed to carry up to seven people safely and comfortably. It’s got all the things that make life easier. Things such as sliding rear doors that mean the children can get in or out without bashing the doors on walls or other cars. What’s more, the Grand C-Max is roomy inside, with a smart set-up that enables the centre chair in the second row to fold beneath one of the other seats, leaving a space to walk through. I should add, the Grand C-Max Ford loaned me was the Titanium X 2.0 TDCi 150PS Powershift. Basically, I was handed the top of the range version - the one with all the bells and whistles. However, whether you get the entry level or the top level Grand C-Max, its function is the same – it’s a car that’ll hold lots of people. Granted, the third row of seats are tucked away for most of the time in the boot floor, and even though they’re only for kids, they’re still very handy. There’s also a ‘normal’ Ford C-Max, which is a spacious fiveseater - so don’t feel you must go for the ‘Grand’ version. On test, I didn’t need to use the third row all that much, so the two spare seats often remained where they were. This was no bad thing, as without the third tier of seats in operation, the boot stays big. With the seats up, the load area is only good for about three bags of shopping, but with them down, you can knock yourself out filling it up. Not literally, you understand. Standard equipment on the Ford Grand C-Max is generous. It includes Ford’s Quickclear windscreen, sports-style seats, air conditioning and DAB radio. Upgrade to the flagship
Titanium X trim and you get a panoramic sunroof, bi-xenon headlights, a partial leather interior, heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, rear parking sensors, and keyless start and entry. There’s also Ford’s Sync 3 infotainment system, with an easy-to-read eight-inch touchscreen. But the best thing is that the Grand C-Max is a surprisingly good drive. I say ‘surprising’ because I was a man who used to dislike MPVs because of their apparent dearth of dynamism. The 2.0 TDCi 150PS Powershift model is smooth and has lots of low down shove. It works particularly well with the six-speed automatic transmission. In fact, it doesn’t drive like a bus – it behaves just like a decent 2.0 litre turbo diesel car should do. What’s more, it holds the road well, feeling planted on motorways and through twisty sections of tarmac. It’s also got a cheeky punch to it, with the Titanium X 2.0 TDCi 150PS Powershift variant able to do 0-62mph in 10.7 seconds. It’s efficient, too, consistently doing mid to late 40s real-world mpg. So, I’ve got to say, as a dad-of-three, I’m impressed. In fact, I’m seriously considering buying the Ford Grand C-Max now I’ve lived with it for a while. I just might not be able to dig deep enough for the flagship version.

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.
