I am also planning my first little book, all about places to go, days out, ‘campervanning’ and generally having family fun, all based around Nellie. If you have any suggestions, ideas or requests for what you would like to see in the book, please call or email me!

This September issue of The Wareham District Directory is full of local traders, businesses and 01929 408080 groups who would all like to help you. Stephen and I thank you for continuing to support them.

Notes from...

WarehamTown Museum Congratulations to us! We were delighted to learn recently that our application for Accreditation has been successful. Accreditation is a scheme run by Arts Council England which sets nationally agreed standards for UK museums. To qualify, museums must meet standards in how they are managed, the services they offer, and on how they care for collections.

The museum is run by volunteers, and the award is a great tribute to the dedication and hard work of everyone who helps run it. It also means that we continue to be eligible for funding for new projects, and this summer we have two exciting new exhibitions.

To mark the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War, an exhibition shows how Wareham was transformed by the huge army camp along Worgret Road. The museum, with three other organisations in Wareham marking the centenary, scooped a Heritage Lottery Fund grant for this display. A new Jurassic Coast exhibition features some of the treasures of the geology

We were pleased to provide an unusual service recently. Amnon Kafkafi emailed from Israel with a request for help in locating the house in Wareham his family lived in when he was a small boy in 1956. He was planning a visit to England and wanted to see it. Armed with a photo of the house with little Amnon outside it, volunteers rose to the challenge and located it in Roper’s Lane. The present occupants were very hospitable to Amnon and his wife on their visit.

Wareham Town Museum tells the story of Wareham from prehistoric times to the present day. It is owned by Wareham Town Council and is situated in the Town Hall, Wareham. The museum is open 10-4, Monday to Saturday until 31st October, and entrance is free. The museum is run by volunteers, and if you would like to help, call in or visit the website, www.wtm.org.uk.

. . . s r a t S e h t s t e e m i Ann Montin

This month’s star is

Nigel Harman Actor and director Nigel Harman is best known as Dennis Rickman in Eastenders, roles in West End theatre and a stint in Downton Abbey followed, and now he is busy directing the musical “Shrek”. He tells Ann Montini all about his career to date.

Ann - Tell me about the Simon Cowell musical “I Can’t Sing” Nigel - “I loved it, and really it was a good show, and so much fun. But in reality, I think maybe hype helped close it too early. We should have started small, and then built up to the Palladium... but hindsight you know.”

Ann - What was Simon like to work with?

Nigel - Again good fun, but he basically left it all to the creator Harry Hill. It was his dream and Simon backed it, and helped with his profile really – I would say, he was a great boss because we never saw him really.” (laughing) Ann - You have a great ABBA connection?

Nigel - “I do I was in the original West End version of their hit musical “Mama Mia” and yes I sing on the cast album too... I loved it as they are such clever songwriters, and they really know how to craft a song, and make you believe in the song without a doubt.”

Ann - Is it true, when in Eastenders you turned down a record deal from Simon Cowell?

Nigel - “Well, again the story was embellished somewhat, but in principle yes. But at that time I was keen to focus on acting, and being a pop star was not my thing really, I think he forgave me. I always thought pop star / actor, a bit cheesy and not quite for me, but each to their own you know.”

Ann - Shrek - this time as producer Nigel - “It’s a great show and being on the other side of the lights, well you understand what you want from the actors and so forth - it’s been a great experience to do, and I think our audiences are loving it.“ Ann - Does this mean less acting?

Nigel - “Not at all, but it means I can be diverse and do other things. Acting will always be my first love, and I won’t ever give it up, but I love the idea of combining the two together and having duel careers. You can rely totally on one thing, only you have to branch out.”

More details on the show check out the website: shrekthemusical.co.uk/tour-dates

Ann - Your role in Downton Abbey - bit of a bad boy again?

Nigel - “Just a bit, but then I like to think interesting too, the show is great, and just to appear in it was a wonderful experience... I would like to go back, but I can’t say too much he met a grizzly end, but then you never know, it could have all been a bad dream you know.”

Ann - Dennis in Eastenders, ever go back?

Nigel - “Well he was killed off, but then its soap, so because of the genre who knows. He could be like Dirty Den and appear again and shock Sharon... You never know do you?”

Your ambulatory care service...

Providing the right care for you Across the country, the number of people attending emergency departments is rising. However, not all patients requiring emergency treatment here in Bournemouth need to be admitted to hospital. We have been working hard to ensure that if you need emergency care, we can provide the right care, in the right place by the right specialist, for you.

This year, we have continued to expand our Ambulatory Emergency Care (AEC) services. This means emergency care that is provided as an outpatient. For example, if you come in to hospital as an emergency patient, you might visit our AEC clinic where we will aim to diagnose and treat you on the same day. You would then be able to leave hospital but you would continue to receive ongoing clinical support as needed, as an outpatient.

Improving your experience Our AEC clinics run Monday to Friday from 8am6pm. You will be treated in a relaxed atmosphere where you can come and go freely without feeling restricted to a ward or hospital bed. At the clinic you will be seen by specialist doctors and nurses, meaning the right people can make decisions about the care you need, quickly.

We have also invested in additional staff, and the clinic now has dedicated consultant and senior doctor cover, as well as two nurse practitioners.

Lead Consultant for Acute Medicine, Dr Tanzeem Raza, says: “With the support of our colleagues across the hospital, we are now able to offer our patients specialist emergency care on the same day.

Investigations that are needed can be carried out and the results received on the same day, meaning we are able to progress treatment for our patients very quickly.

“We are really excited that we are able to offer this ‘same day service’ to our patients and in doing so lead the way for future care.”

Other benefits include: • reduced worry about being away from home for long periods of time • treatment fits around your life • you can maintain your independence at all times

Wareham District

AEC lead nurse, Sonia Mahmoud, says: “We also take calls from GPs and are often able to avoid patients being admitted to hospital by giving advice or redirecting patients to the most appropriate services. We are now able to deal with over 30% of all incoming calls without the need for hospital admission.”

Ambulatory Matron, Kelly Spaven, adds: “The whole team are committed and passionate about offering individualised care and we are continually expanding our service. We are now looking to extend the clinic so it runs in the evenings and at the weekends.”

What you think of our AEC clinic We are already receiving positive feedback from our patients who have used our ambulatory services: “The AEC made my experience easier to deal with. I was made to feel relaxed and was better than being on a ward.”

“The care was truly outstanding and enabled me to feel safe. I did not know of this unit and am so grateful to my doctor for referring me.”

“The AEC clinic was extremely kind and fun which is great when you’re feeling off colour.”

Rare dragonfly flies into Moors Valley and stays A rare dragonfly is now thought to have bred successfully at Moors Valley Country Park near Ringwood.

First recorded in Britain in 1996, the Lesser Emperor (Anax parthenope) is one of several species of dragonfly to have come over from Europe in the last 20 years to set up home in Britain. Two confirmed sightings have been recorded at the Park in the last month.

Dragonflies can spend up to four years of their lives as underwater nymphs before emerging for a few short weeks as they mate and entertain us with their stunning aerial acrobatics.

In southern parts of the continent, the Lesser Emperor has a two year life cycle. Further north this may be extended to 3 years. As one was last seen at Moors Valley in 2011 it is thought that the current sightings are the offspring of a small mass migration three years ago.

Keith Powrie has been recording dragonflies at the Park for the last 12 years, “Moors Valley is one of the best sites in the country to spot dragonflies,” he said. “There are 45 species in the UK and 28 have been recorded at the Park with 26 species having bred in its lakes, ponds and slow moving rivers. Moors Valley offers the perfect environment for both dragonflies and damselflies and I am truly delighted that we can now add the rare Lesser Emperor to its resident population.”

Looking after the environment is an important part of the work of the

01929 408080

Park’s Rangers and income from car parking directly supports a wide range of initiatives including the Park’s water vole reintroduction programme and extensive recordings of dragonfl ies, damselflies, butterflies and birds.

There is no entrance fee to Moors Valley so paid parking is vital to ensuring the continuing success of the Park. Visitors will soon be seeing a series of new posters at Moors Valley explaining a little bit more about how their parking fees are spent, and letting them know that the Rangers and Moors Valley’s wildlife are both very grateful.

For more information on events at Moors Valley, or details of the Park’s many attractions go online to www.moors-valley.co.uk or contact the Rangers on 01425 470721.

Talking about Wildlife...

The Red Squirrel The red squirrel is one of Britain’s native mammals, and with their bright eyes, fluffy tails and ear tufts, it’s not hard to see why they are one of Britain’s most loved.

But red squirrels are declining, with only 130,000 reds surviving in Britain; 15,000 of which live in England. Recent figures show that the number of reds is increasing in the north, but they are almost extinct in the south. Approximately 3,500 live on the Isle of Wight and an additional 200 live on Brownsea Island, which is managed in partnership by the National Trust and Dorset Wildlife Trust.

Fossils suggest that red squirrels appeared in our country 10,000 years ago, towards the end of the last ice age. It is believed that they arrived in the south of England after crossing a land bridge between Britain and Europe.

Until the beginning of the 20th Century, reds were the only species of squirrel in Europe.

They could be seen all across Britain, hopping between trees and dashing up and down their trunks. However, the introduction of the grey squirrel in the 1870s led to a steep decline in their numbers. Grey squirrels competed for food and space and infected our native reds with the deadly squirrel pox virus.

You can visit the squirrel population on Brownsea Island* between March and November with the reds more likely to be spotted in the autumn on the island. Red squirrels can be distinguished from grey squirrels by their smaller, more delicate frames and the tufts of fur on

01929 408080

their ears. Contrary to popular belief, their fur is not strictly red; depending on the season and geographical region, their coats can vary from shades of yellow and red to grey and black.

To help Dorset Wildlife Trust protect the southern population, you can adopt one of the red squirrels on Brownsea Island. Each one-year adoption of Hazel, Rusty, Elinore, Flick or Sparky costs only £20 and enables us to improve and maintain the woodland habitat red squirrels live in. For more information about the adoption scheme, visit: www.dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/ adoptaredsquirrel

BIOGRAPHIES

Alfa Romeo MiTo 875cc TwinAir

By Tim Barnes-Clay, Motoring Writer

www.carwriteups.co.uk

@carwriteups

Someone once said, “What good is an eye-catching new suit if the person inside of it is rotten?”

Now that’s a pretty brave statement — but an assertion, nevertheless, that speaks to the question of style versus substance.

The style over substance debate has been around for a long time, and today the harsh reality is that we, the mainstream, are far more influenced by the “image” - style or outer shell of things rather than what’s on the inside.

So when it comes to cars, what about the 2014 Alfa Romeo MiTO? Where does that fit in the style-versus-substance topic? Well, in my opinion, the arch-rival to the MINI and Audi A1 is a gorgeous little motor, and it lives up to its revised looks.

Externally the latest incarnation of the MiTo benefits from a fresh, chromed front grille; titanium grey headlamp and tail lamp surrounds; tinted rear windows and a sports rear bumper, as well as an altered colour palette that now includes a laid-back “Matte Magnesio Grey” finish.

The interior is thoroughly different to the initial MiTo, first launched in mid 2008. The car now has a changed dashboard, upgraded plastics and an up-to-the-minute fiveinch, touch-screen infotainment system with voice recognition, Bluetooth, steering wheel remote controls, USB/Aux ports and optional satellite navigation.

With just 875cc under the bonnet of the Alfa I tested, you’d think you’d have all the power of an average domestic vacuum cleaner on tap. You’d be wrong. Yes, there’s no denying the TwinAir Sprint model sounds like an industrial sewing machine on tick over, but the little Italian car draws deep from its well of two-cylinder potency when it needs to.

The tiny petrol-powered turbo engine benefits from a 20hp boost in performance – now 105hp – which translates in a 062mph time that’s 1.1 seconds quicker than the previous 85hp version. Despite the additional performance, the Alfa Romeo MiTo TwinAir remains impressively efficient, with a combined fuel economy figure of 67.3 mpg and CO2 emissions of just 99g/km.

A wide-ranging array of traction, braking and stability control systems is standard on the mini MiTo too. All this can be adjusted via Alfa Romeo’s trademark Alfa D.N.A. selectable driving mode system. It allows you to choose between three different driving settings: Dynamic, Normal, and All-Weather.

The clever gadgetry controls the character of the car, from the behaviour of the engine, brakes and steering, to the suspension and gearbox. And it works – to an extent.

Dynamic is sporty, making the steering weightier and the throttle more responsive, but that in reality makes the MiTo more of a struggle to drive. If you stay with the Normal setting, the steering is gentle and the car is effortless to weave in and out of city traffic.

The super-mini is also now equipped with fuel-saving Start& Stop; air conditioning; a leather-trimmed steering wheel and gear knob; electric windows and mirrors; seven airbags; front fog lamps; a rear spoiler and alloy wheels.

So, even though prices for the MiTo aren’t going for a song, the miniature motor is well equipped and offers fistfuls of charm. And, no, in my opinion, looks still aren’t more important than content – but they’ve certainly not done Alfa Romeo any harm.

Martin Money Saving Tips

LEWIS Credit Scoring Credit scoring has become a key part of our financial lives. It impacts far more than most people think. It’s not just about whether you can get mortgages, credit cards and loans, but can also effect contract mobile phones, monthly car insurance, bank accounts, even if you can pay energy bills the cheapest way.

1) Get on the electoral roll. If not, getting credit's tough.

Check if you're on it and apply via www.aboutmyvote.co.uk. If you're not eligible, write a notice on all the credit files that you’ve proof of residency.

Even if you're accepted, we live in a 'rate for risk' world, so credit scoring then dictates what you pay too. Many people get unstuck by this. They apply for today's record cheap rates, but find they're charged more. So here’s what you need to know…

2) Stability's good. If possible, put a landline, not mobile, on applications.

You DON'T have a universal credit rating - there's no blacklist. This is a myth. In the UK, there's no universal credit rating or score, there's no blacklist of banned people. Each lender scores you differently and secretly. So a rejection by one doesn’t mean a rejection by all. Their aim is to see if you match their profitable customer wish list. A key part is assessing the risk of non-repayment. If that's high, many won't lend to you; but some specialist lenders will like you more as they can charge you high.

Yet even those who are good risks can be rejected, because the lender thinks you won't make it money. Or perhaps you're applying for a credit card, but it wants to cross-sell mortgages, so scores you on how likely you are to get one.

What they know about you. Lenders assess you with 3 key pieces of information: 1) Your application form. Many underrate how crucial this is. Be consistent on each application form, eg, job title, salary. Regular inconsistencies can trigger rejection as you hit a ‘fraud score’ trigger.

2) Any past dealings with you. A lender you've banked with can interrogate your behaviour far more than others. This can work both for and against you.

3) Your credit reference files. These come from either Equifax, Experian or Callcredit and contain info on the electoral roll, court judgments, what credit applications you've made, products you have and if you've paid on time.

However, they don’t know everything. They don’t know your criminal record, medical history, speeding fines, salary, student loans, declined applications and more – don’t get too conspiracy theorist about it.

How to make yourself more attractive. Getting accepted for credit is like going on the pull - like people, different lenders find different things attractive. It’s more art than science, but there are some cosmetic changes that work for most. Here are 10 tips:

01929 408080

3). Beware over applying. Too many applications for products especially in a short space of time can hurt. So if you’re about to get a mortgage, don’t apply for lots of credit cards just before. One problem though is often the only way to know what rate you’ll get is to apply, so the system is anti-shopping around.

4) Time it right. Problems stay on your file for 6 years, applications for 1 year. So if you can wait until they've lapsed to apply, it should boost your score.

5) Never miss or be late on repayments. Small errors can hurt large. Set up a direct debit to be sure you never miss. Do this even if just for the minimum repayment, then you can call up and pay more on top each month, see it as an insurance policy.

6) Don't let 'paid-for credit scores' overly worry you. In recent years credit reference agencies have started to flog these, but don’t take too much notice. They’re only based on your credit file, not the other info lenders look at, and remember each lender scores differently. One may see cancelling a credit card as good as it reduces available credit, another as bad as it’s closing down a long term relationship.

7) Payday loans can kill mortgage applications. Some mortgage underwriters simply won't lend to anyone with payday loans.

8) Deal with unfair defaults. First go to the firm that put them there and ask it to remove them. If not ask for a ‘notice of correction’ to be added to your credit file where you can explain briefly why it’s unfair and appeal to the Financial Ombudsman.

9) Check for address errors. An old, active, but unused mobile phone registered to your old address could even cause a mortgage rejection.

10) Don't withdraw cash on credit cards. This is both expensive and seen as evidence of poor money management - avoid.

Adventures of Nellie

26

The Adventures of Nellie The Purbeck Publications Camper Van Well Hayden’s special day finally arrived, where his long awaited Birthday present from November last year could actually be realised!

His first pilot’s lesson. For a long time now Hayden has been telling us that he wants to be a pilot, so we purchased the flying lesson online last year. I was amazed to see that you can be as young as 7 to start flying.

Nellie was extremely excited to be taking Hayden to enact his dream. The views, even from the roads, through those country lanes are just stunning. You can literally see for miles across the pure rolling English countryside.

You can’t beat it. Nellie was in her element. I am not sure that Hayden in the back had the same view, sitting and playing on his computer and occasionally looking up. Maybe it happens more when you get older…

On arriving at Compton Abbas Air Field Hayden was now all smiles. I watched him eyeing up all the planes with sheer delight and anticipated excitement. We had deliberately arrived early to have lunch and build up to a crescendo… our first flight. I say our, as originally we had booked a two seater plane, just for Hayden and the pilot. We had then been given the opportunity for a 4 seater plane, but allowing for only one extra passenger. Thinking this would be a ‘Dad thing’ I suggested Stephen

Nellie with “Charlie Kilo”

01929 408080

“Captain” Hayden at the controls go up in the air. Hayden wanted me to go, though he said he really didn’t want to have to choose, as I hadn’t been in a plane like this before and Dad had. Stephen swallowed his disappointment pretty well I thought.

We ordered lunch and sat outside in the glorious sunshine watching planes landing and taking off regularly. Many people were watching and it was such a great atmosphere.

You almost feel like you are going back in time especially with those wonderful open top planes and pilots wearing goggles and flying jackets. Love it!

As we were sitting there I thought I would do the ‘sensible’ thing and warn Hayden that he may not fly the plane himself as much as he would like and not to be disappointed if that was the case, that we would have a great experience anyway. Well, if you have ever had the thought that we have lived before and children know far more than we suspect at times, now was one of those moments.

Hayden looked at me with a glint in his eyes and said casually, “No. Mmm, he might not let me do a barrel roll…” I tried hard not to laugh and invalidate what seemed to be quite some knowingness. “No, maybe not.”

I smiled, playfully back.

27 The time came for us to take our stance near the plane and wait eagerly for the pilot.

From the data I have the aircraft we flew was a Piper Cherokee Warrior II with the UK registration G-BPCK and probably known as “Charlie Kilo”. She was built in 1980 and is owned by Compton Abbas Airfield. The pilot was a handsome young man and could well take his place in a film. Hayden took to him immediately. Tony was his name and he was perfect with Hayden. As there were many air shows that day we were a little more limited with our air space. The pilot seemed somewhat reluctant to fly with the Red Arrows or the Vulcan, or what ever other big planes were flying that day. With Hayden’s apparent confidence earlier, I didn’t think it was a problem! So, despite the pilot worrying about ‘Mum’ and my possible fear, I reassured him that all was absolutely fine and the best route to take was the one where Hayden could have the most fun and fly the plane. It was decided we would fly South.

As we know the taking off and landing is always the most exciting when we go on holiday by plane. Well this was also the case in Charlie Kilo. Tony showed Hayden the controls gave him a quick lesson and off we flew. Just before we set off, the pilot asked Hayden to shout “Clear Prop!“ as if shouting to his Dad in the viewing area. Hayden misunderstood and at the count of three, shouted “DAD!” very loudly instead. We did laugh. It was all too exciting. Once in the air, the views from the sky were awesome. On such a beautiful day you really can see for

Hayden with his certificate and Tony miles and miles. From the air this time! After only a few minutes, the pilot raised his hands in the air and declared, “No hands, Hayden’s flying!” Hayden was thrilled! He grinned from ear to ear. I was much less nervous than I thought I would be, in fact I wasn’t nervous at all. It was a sheer delight. Hayden was very confident, he turned the plane in a full circle and even, with the pilot’s permission, dipped the plane to make my stomach drop a couple of times. Hayden loved that! It wasn’t quite the barrel roll he wanted, but good enough for now… And certainly good enough for me. Dad and Nellie watched eagerly below.

We had a good half hour in the air and I was suitably impressed that we definitely had our monies worth. I believe the half hour lesson is around £70, so less than you may think. There are also flights to the Isle of Wight or in a Tiger Moth, if you want a real treat. Their website www.comptonabbasairfield.co.uk tells you much more about these exciting trips. You can also see a little video I took as well as other photos on Facebook – “whereisnellie”.

Please ‘like’ them!

So Nellie, Hayden, myself and, this time the cameraman Stephen, had a terrific day out.

I highly recommend you go and visit. Have a tea or coffee, maybe even lunch or dinner and watch the aircraft fly swiftly around. If you are feeling daring, have a go yourself! Where will Nellie go next…?

National Trust in Purbeck Laurie Clark, the National Trust’s Purbeck General Manager, has been responding to Langton Matravers residents concerned over increased parking in the village linked to the growth of adventure sports at Dancing Ledge.

He told a public meeting on July 31 the trust was working with Langton Matravers Parish Council to take the pressure off Spyway car park by finding an alternative parking site for commercial activity providers.

As previously reported, the trust has also applied for planning permission to extend the existing car park and has already made more spaces available on a temporary basis while the application is determined.

A number of sites are under consideration for the new car park, which may include changing and toilet facilities.

The scheme would be financed by licencing access to the new site by commercial providers.

Width and height restrictions would be used to restrict parking at Spyway to general visitors only.

The aim of the proposals is to alleviate pressure on roadside parking in the village itself, particularly in Durnford Drove where residents have borne the brunt of recent problems.

Laurie stressed the trust was keen to work with local people to resolve issues relating to increased visitor numbers.

Maintaining the right balance between conservation and public access at popular coastal sites like Dancing Ledge presented particular challenges at a time when activities such as coasteering were rapidly growing in popularity, but remained a priority for the trust.

The situation would be kept under review and the impact on local people would be taken

01929 408080

fully into account in the way the site was managed, he pledged.

Our new natural play area for children at West Mill in Corfe Castle is now complete and has proved a big hit with younger visitors.

More features include balance logs and tree trunks for climbing – all created using natural materials and designed to blend in with their surroundings.

Steps link the site alongside the Corfe River to the Wildlife Walk, which runs from Castle View to The Square.

Two tunnels of living willow have also been planted with the aim that soon the interweaving boughs will create magical natural passageways for children to use in their play.

The project follows consultation with children and their parents in Corfe Castle about what they would like to see there.

Prolonged warm weather has brought crowds to Studland Beach and with them a worrying increase in rubbish dumped along Ferry Road.

National Trust rangers have been busy litter picking along the road – which is not trust land but is owned by the Bournemouth-Swanage Motor Road and Ferry Company.

“Litter is unsightly wherever it is, as well as posing a fire risk and a threat to wildlife,” said Purbeck East Area Ranger Paul Bradley.

“Please consider the environment and take your rubbish home with you.”

Around five or six rubbish bags a week have been collected recently – a significant increase on previous years.

Paul said recent problems were in line with trends elsewhere in Dorset, including Bournemouth Beach, and were in part a product of the fine weather.

What’s On

32

Tuesday 16th - Thursday 18th

THE 100-YEAR OLD MAN WHO CLIMBED OUT THE WINDOW AND DISAPPEARED (15) Tuesday 6.00p.m. (ends 8.30p.m.) - Wednesday and Thursday 7.10p.m. (ends 9.25p.m.)

Directed by Felix Herngren, with Robert Gustafsson, Iwar Wiklander and David Wiberg.

From the Swedish bestseller by Jonas Jonasson, this absurdist comedy has been as successful as the book in its home country. It follows the adventures of a rebellious geriatric who flees his retirement home on his 100th birthday and, as an explosives expert, has adventures with skinhead bikers, a circus elephant and a Cockney crime lord. Full of flashbacks showing that he was as instrumental as FORREST GUMP in critical 20th century events.

Friday 19th

SECRET SHARER 7.10pm Directed by Peter Fudakowski, with Jack Laskey, Zhu Zhu and Ching-ting Hsia Remember when Peter Fudakowski came to the REX and presented his film TSOTSI a few years ago?

Well he is back, giving us a presentation questionand-answer session on his latest.

In the South China Sea the inexperienced captain of a decrepit cargo ship rescues a fleeing Chinese woman. Drama mounts as he has to hide her from her pursuers and his own crew. Based on the Joseph Conrad novel.

Saturday 20th - Thursday 25th

MOOD INDIGO (12A) 7.10p.m. (ends 9.05p.m.) - Tuesday 6.00p.m. (ends 7.55p.m.)

Directed by Michel Gondry, with Romain Duris, Audrey Tautou and Gad Elmaleh.

01929 408080

In a dazzling show of creativity Gondry brings us a world where everything is possible. Like Willy Wonka, Duris plays the rich young man who spends his time creating crazy inventions - cloud cars, pianos that serve cocktails - until he meets the woman of his dreams, played by Tautou. A nonstop cavalcade of visual gags and wordplay

Friday 26th - Thursday 2nd October

BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP (15) 7.10p.m. (ends 9.05p.m.) - Saturday 8.00p.m. (ends 10.55p.m.) - Tuesday 6.00p.m. (ends 7.55p.m.)

Directed by Rowan Joffe, with Colin Firth, Nicole Kidman and Mark Strong.

Psychological thriller from the hugely successful first novel by S.J.Watson. A woman suffering from anterograde amnesia after an accident, wakes up each day with no idea of who she is. She tries to reconstruct her past through her journal, but finds that her journal and real life are strangely different.

Incidentally this is the last film ever to be shot on Fuji 35mm film stock.

Saturday 27th

THE SHIP THAT DIED OF SHAME (PG) 6.00p.m. (ends 7.30p.m.)

Directed by Basil Dearden, with Richard Attenborough, George Baker and Bill Owen.

As part of the national Scalarama initiative we are proud to present this little gem from 1955, based on the Nicholas Montsarrat story. Three demobbed sailors rescue their old motor gun boat from the knacker’s yard and turn their hands to smuggling along the south coast. All shot in the creeks of Poole Harbour, Poole Quay, Weymouth Waterfront and along the Jurassic Coast. Spot the landmarks, and how they have changed!

Grass Roots Gardening Tips

website for the national professional organizations, who will have a list of designers or contractors, all of whom have been tested and accredited to a certain standard of expertise, professionalism and experience.

In the UK that is the Society of Garden Designers and BALI (British Association of Landscape Industries) and in Australia that is the Australia Society of Garden Designers.

HOW TO HIRE A GARDENER

Decide on how you’d like the relationship to be between you and the designer and believe me, I want to get on my soap box here, about all the so- you do have a choice about this. It can be with you called garden designers out there so that you can totally in control and the designer just does what hire a designer who knows their stuff. Garden you ask. Alternatively, you can give total control to design is an unregulated industry and anyone can the designer but the way I have found to work the be a garden designer, with no training whatsoever. best, is to work with the client in partnership. This is where both designer and client work together to Yet there are designers who have spent years arrive at decisions that are based on good learning about plants, how to use them, how to communication and discussion. design a usable space and all the construction knowledge needed to do that, both at college and Look for experience and take references from ‘on the job’. I am one of those designers, with 17 previous clients. No professional designer will years experience, and it infuriates me that clients mind you asking for a couple of references and a get taken in by people who’ve spent a few weeks at good question to ask the referee is “Would you use college and ‘like gardening’, clients who end up them again?” Find out if they are a member of any paying the price both in hard cash and in having to professional organization and if they have any live with a badly designed, built and planted training, though this could be on the job or at garden. Here are a few things you can do to make college. Ask to see photos of previous gardens they sure you get someone who can do what you need completed and find out if they know about plants. doing.

Ideally you want to use a designer that someone you know has recommended to you to because they have used them to create a lovely garden. If that’s not possible, find a garden you like the look of in the neighbourhood and ask the owners who did it for them because no one minds talking about their beautiful garden.

If none of the above are options for you, find the

Never base your decision as to which garden designer to use on price alone because you get what you pay for. The important thing to decide is do you trust them and do you feel the designer is on the same wave length as you because it is the rapport between you that will make or break the success of your garden. Happy gardening!
