PETCARE<br />
SUN, SEA…...and REX<br />
With the grey clouds at last starting to give<br />
way to bouts of brilliant sunshine, now's<br />
the time to rejuvenate your senses and<br />
exercise your dog at the same time by<br />
heading for our sparkling coastline. But<br />
where can you and Rex, your<br />
poo-producing, sandwich-stealing pooch<br />
actually go without upsetting everyone<br />
else around you? Read on, Sophie's Pet<br />
Care have got it all sorted...<br />
free bits of hot sausage. Now it's changed<br />
hands, and become a no-dog zone inside.<br />
However, there's a wide selection of<br />
public seating with rejuvenating sea views<br />
outside, and you can grab a snack and a<br />
drink from the beachfront shop. There are<br />
also public conveniences available.<br />
Gundimore Beach at Mudeford is ideal.<br />
Unlike it's neighbour Avon Beach — where<br />
from May they'll fine you and your fourlegged<br />
friend for setting foot on it —<br />
little-known Gundimore, right next door<br />
remains "dog friendly" all the year round.<br />
You can leave your vehicle in the sunken<br />
car park just behind the beach, or admire<br />
the view from the public car park adjacent<br />
to the Noisy Lobster Cafe. It's situated<br />
right on the seafront overlooking the Isle<br />
of Wight.<br />
Gundimore Beach begins just to the right<br />
of this car park and continues in a westerly<br />
direction up toward Mudeford Quay.<br />
There's usually a few dogs on the beach<br />
cavorting around and plunging manfully<br />
into the freezing waves. No one bothers<br />
them or you as long as you pick up your<br />
poo (well, not your poo exactly.... umm,<br />
you know what we mean).<br />
The Noisy Lobster Cafe used to be<br />
dog-friendly, didn't mind sandy floors and<br />
wet dogs and would often dish them out<br />
We can supply a walk route sheet if you<br />
fancy a wander around Gundimore in case<br />
you're stuck for inspiration.<br />
If you'd like a printable PDF of this walk<br />
route that you can take with you, simply<br />
email walkies@sophiespetcare.com and<br />
we'll send you one completely free of<br />
charge, and tell you about the services we<br />
can offer to you and your dog.<br />
See you next month from some more<br />
canine capers and hot news from the<br />
dogosphere!<br />

FEATURE<br />
We at Sylvan Apiaries, run 170 honey<br />
production colonies across three counties,<br />
Hants, Wilts and Dorset. April was a very busy<br />
time for us on the bee farm, checking how<br />
many colonies made it through the winter. We<br />
always have very low numbers of losses, mainly<br />
because we insure our colonies have enough<br />
stores of honey and pollen to get them through<br />
a long winter, such as the one we have had this<br />
year. In the Autumn we only ever take the<br />
surplus honey to sell.<br />
The Oil seed rape is now in full flower and the<br />
colonies are in overdrive. The queens are laying<br />
at almost full speed. The newly hatched worker<br />
bees are on house cleaning duties, and the<br />
older bees are hard at work foraging, bringing<br />
back loads of pollen to feed the brood and<br />
nectar to feed the adult bees. Some bees will be<br />
collecting water. Most people don`t realise<br />
water is very important for the survival of bee<br />
colonies & we have water feeders at all our<br />
sites for this reason.<br />
Bee colonies are very well structured, with<br />
specific jobs to do within the colony . These are<br />
determined by their age- for example, cleaning<br />
and feeding brood, foraging and guard<br />
duty. Each of these jobs will be undertaken in<br />
turn by the adult bees during their brief life,<br />
which could be as little as six weeks.<br />
We run mostly static sites for our bees, this<br />
means we don`t have to keep moving colonies<br />
about after specific crops to pollenate. Much<br />
better for the bees and for our backs!<br />
Our main job at this time of year is to undertake<br />
weekly inspection , looking for sign of swarming<br />
and keep ahead of the bees. We add honey<br />
boxes to insure they have sufficient room for<br />
expanding brood nests and storage space for<br />
the incoming nectar. If we don’t do this, the<br />
BEHIND HIVE DOORS<br />
THE LIFE OF A LOCAL BEE KEEPER<br />
bees will run out of space and swarm, taking the<br />
Queen, half of the bees and honey with them.<br />
This is something we try our best to avoid. Once<br />
the nectar is collected and stored in the wax<br />
combs, the bees have to evaporate it to reduce<br />
the water content before they seal it in with a<br />
wax coat for use at a later date. It can now be<br />
called honey.<br />
Once the rape honey is 3/4 capped, (covered<br />
over with wax by the bees), it is ready to<br />
extract. We have to be quick as rape honey<br />
crystallises very quickly. Leave it for too long<br />
and it will have to be melted out of the comb,<br />
resulting in the loss of the wax comb, which is<br />
one of our most valuable assets. We collect the<br />
full combs from the hives and take them to our<br />
extraction room , where we uncap the honey<br />
frames with a revolving brush or a hot knife.<br />
The uncapped frames are placed into one of our<br />
two centrifuge spinners where the honey is<br />
spun out. It is then drained through a course<br />
sieve to take out any lumps of wax or any<br />
impurities. It is then stored in 15kg buckets.<br />
Nothing is added, it is then either sold in bulk to<br />
a honey packer or jarred and sold to local<br />
outlets. The emptied wax combs are returned<br />
to the hives to be cleaned and filled again by<br />
the bees.<br />
Bees and other pollinators are under pressure<br />
from loss of suitable forage in today`s world.<br />
Gardens are smaller than they use to be,<br />
hedgerows have been grubbed out and<br />
replaced by fences. This combined with the use<br />
of pesticide on a large scale is having an adverse<br />
effect on them all.<br />
Without bees, our food supply would be very<br />
much reduced. You can help support the bees<br />
by planting bee friendly plants and buying local<br />
honey, within 25 miles radius of the producer<br />
would be ideal.<br />

Dorothy’s Blog<br />
I was complemented on my last article, so I<br />
thought readers might be interested in the<br />
follow up to living in <strong>Hordle</strong> .<br />
I feel that now my stint as HCA Secretary<br />
is coming to an end, at 80 I feel I must<br />
hand over the job to a younger person.<br />
So, at the HCA AGM , I shall reluctantly be<br />
resigning the position but will carry on<br />
with the Entertainment Committee. Any<br />
money we make on the fairs and the<br />
entertainment goes to our <strong>Hordle</strong><br />
Community Association.<br />
We try to fill the hall with interesting<br />
hirers and a couple of days a week are<br />
allocated to disabled groups in the area.<br />
We had a Spring Fair for the first time this<br />
year and it was a great success, helped by<br />
the weather, it was a glorious Spring day.<br />
This month I have to get sewing my bag<br />
and other things for the New Forest Show,<br />
that our local W.I. are taking part in. I<br />
have a shoe to create a flower display in, a<br />
picture to paint, a bag to sew, also jam to<br />
make. We then have the Gardening Club<br />
and our open show, so I must get things<br />
ready for that. I may grow some runner<br />
beans this year.<br />
I really thought I would have nothing to do<br />
now I am really retired but it does not<br />
seem to have worked out like that!<br />

1 st <strong>Hordle</strong> Brownies, girls aged 7-10, meet in the <strong>Hordle</strong> W1 Hall on Thursday evenings<br />
from 6.15-7.45. In a friendly and supportive atmosphere they unwind after school,<br />
make new friends, enjoy games and practice new skills. They also love earning badges<br />
for hobbies and interests practiced at home. The varied programme of activities<br />
encourages them to develop themselves, as well as developing an awareness of ways<br />
in which they can help others in the unit, at home and in the wider community. Recent<br />

days to choose from as well.<br />

Have you noticed Red Boxes in our Co-op? These boxes<br />
are donation points for The Red Box Project Lymington &<br />
Brockenhurst.<br />
This community project aims to provide sanitary and<br />
essential products for young ladies in our local schools and<br />
colleges.<br />
Why is this needed?<br />
In the UK some young ladies in our schools and other<br />
education settings are finding it financially difficult to<br />
access sanitary products. This happens more often than<br />
you realise & some girls are even failing to attend school<br />
during this time.<br />
If you would like to find out more about the project, please<br />

The Shady Garden<br />
A recent speaker at the Garden club was Alan Edmondson (See opposite for his Gardening tips<br />
for <strong>June</strong> & <strong>July</strong>)<br />
Some Key take outs:<br />
Naturally shaded areas have 3 tiers of planting. Starting with trees, then shrubs below, all<br />
underplanted with perennials as the 3 rd tier.<br />
Shrubs: Rhododendrons love the dappled sun that comes through the trees.<br />
Perennials: Epimediums are best cut to ground level each year, but you must choose your<br />
moment wisely.<br />
Bulbs and corms: Great for adding colour to form the 3 rd tier of planting, in small gardens,<br />
dwarf varieties are best. For Narcissus, the best four for the longest show are February Gold,<br />
which flower in the first week of March, Tete-a-tete then flowers, which is then followed by Jack<br />
Snipe and lastly Hawera, each stem normally has 3 flowers.<br />

This year’s theme is The Year of The Poppy,<br />
with events to commemorate one-hundred<br />
years since the end of World War One.<br />
“Remembered” is a show being hosted at the<br />
Community Centre containing the music,<br />
drama and comedy of the period. Throughout<br />
the week there are also historical walks and<br />
talks about what the village was like during<br />
wartime Britain. The event is free to attend<br />

You can<br />
swoon to light classical, slap your thigh to<br />
some country, jive to a Swing Band, get<br />
soulful with some blues, or dance your way<br />
through an afternoon with rock and roll…or<br />

My wife Carole and I moved to Everton<br />
in <strong>June</strong> 2016 from Sussex when we<br />
purchased the village store and Post<br />
Office.<br />
We really love this area and feel like we<br />
have settled in really quickly, mostly<br />
because of the friendly people around<br />
us. We have improved the shop greatly<br />
in the short time we have been here,<br />
introducing lots of new lines -<br />
including meat from The New Forest<br />
Bacon Company & local strawberries<br />
from the New Forest Fruit Co. We have<br />
just also introduced I.O.W tomatoes<br />
and local asparagus. We have fresh<br />
bread products delivered six days a<br />
week from Jennings of Lymington and<br />
Lymington dressed crab and lobster<br />
from S&J subject to availability. We<br />
stock meat pies from The Real Pie<br />
Company and have a selection of<br />
frozen meals and desserts made locally<br />
by Mangetout Catering. We can take<br />
orders for all of the above.<br />
The Post Office is busy now as so many<br />
have closed in the area, including<br />
Milford on Sea and <strong>Hordle</strong> and we<br />
welcome all new customers. The Post<br />
Office operates as a Local branch, so<br />
we are not able to process motor<br />
vehicle licences but offer free banking<br />
withdrawals and deposits for most of<br />
the high street banks, plus all other<br />
usual post office services. The Post<br />
Office is open the same hours as the<br />
shop which are 7am to 7.30pm Mon to<br />
Sat and 7.30am to 5pm on Sundays.<br />
We look forward to seeing you soon.<br />

FEATURE<br />
HOMELESSNESS: ON OUR DOORSTEP<br />
It is strange how things come along to make<br />
you think about really important issues when<br />
you least expect them. I was out shopping in<br />
New Milton last week, and outside Morrisons<br />
sat a young lad with his dog, on the pavement.<br />
He smiled and waved at me as I went into the<br />
shop, and something about him just compelled<br />
me to buy a whopping great big meal deal and<br />
other goodies for him plus a large bag of dog<br />
food for his furry pal. I took them over to him<br />
after shopping, and, as I plonked them down<br />
next to him, he jumped up and gave me the<br />
biggest hug. It quite took me aback! I asked<br />
him if he had anywhere to go overnight, or if he<br />
was getting any assistance to find somewhere<br />
to live. He pulled out a piece of paper from his<br />
pocket and said he was going to Bournemouth<br />
on the bus to a homelessness centre, and<br />
indeed it showed an appointment date and<br />
time for later that day. I wished him well, and<br />
when I passed by a little later he had gone. I<br />
hope he got to his appointment on time and<br />
that they could help him.<br />
Then, just yesterday, Sunday, it was the<br />
outgoing District Council Chairman Christine<br />
Ward’s church service at St Thomas’ Church in<br />
Lymington. It was a most beautiful service, with<br />
a comical vicar and a fabulous local ladies choir.<br />
The vicar, as is traditional in council services,<br />
spoke about those in local and national<br />
government serving their communities well and<br />
looking after those who most need our help.<br />
The service was followed by a wonderful spread<br />
of tea, sandwiches and cakes in the church hall,<br />
all enjoyed by us councillors, our MP, and<br />
several chained and hatted mayors and<br />
mayoresses from all over Hampshire. At the<br />
end, there was a huge amount of food left over.<br />
At the request of the Chairman, I filled a plate<br />
with best sarnies, cheese straws, large hunks of<br />
coffee cake, pineapple cake and cream scones,<br />
to take back home for Mr. Carpenter. But as I<br />
turned into the high street, on a bench outside<br />
the church sat an older gentleman with several<br />
large bags tied together next to him, wrapped<br />
up in a big old coat. How could I walk by him<br />
with a huge pile of food on a big paper plate<br />
wrapped in clingfilm? I asked him if he could<br />
make use of it, and he certainly could. (So, no<br />
cake for Mr. Carpenter, but he’d never know<br />
anyway… unless he reads this!) The man also<br />
told me that he would go to Lymington Town<br />
Hall the next day for advice. I really hope he<br />
did.<br />
In November 2017, the New Forest area was<br />
reported as having one of the highest rates of<br />
homelessness in the country. You don’t often<br />
see it, because people are frequently sleeping<br />
in cars or ‘sofa surfing’ with friends. But our<br />
homeless problem is as bad as Gosport and<br />
other larger urban conurbations along the<br />
south coast. New Forest District Council is<br />
currently reviewing its Homelessness Strategy,<br />
to better help people who are already homeless<br />
or in danger of becoming homeless. The<br />
council has a very good Homelessness Team<br />
within the housing department, who signpost<br />
homeless people to sources of help and<br />
temporary accommodation where they can.<br />
They do great work, but there is always more to<br />
do. And I have already let them know about<br />
the two homeless men I met this week.<br />
If you are worried about someone who is<br />
homeless, or who you think may be about to be<br />
made homeless (or if you are in that situation<br />
yourself) please ring the Homelessness Team<br />
on 02380 285234 (Option 3) or outside office<br />
hours 02380 285250.<br />

NOTES FROM THE SOLENT CELLAR<br />
At the Solent Cellar, we love sharing our<br />
new wine discoveries from our travels.<br />
Our latest trip encompassed several<br />
appellations of the Loire Valley, ending our<br />
trip South East of Nantes in the heart of<br />
Muscadet country.<br />
Poiron Dabin Sauvignon Blanc, IGP 2017 -<br />
Initial vine cuttings came from the prestigious<br />
village of Sancerre, this wine<br />
represents amazing value. Delicate but ripe<br />
passionfruit notes on the nose as well as<br />
pear. It has a long citrus finish.<br />
There has been some resurgence going on<br />
in Muscadet over the recent years, and<br />
quality is definitely on the up! The younger<br />
generations are taking over the reins and<br />
introducing new ideas and techniques.<br />
Yields are being lowered and organic<br />
viticulture is becoming more common. The<br />
creation of a new Cru status for exceptional<br />
areas for Muscadet has been exciting for<br />
growers and this has resulted in the<br />
creation of more complex wines. Although<br />
only 2% of Muscadet's production accounts<br />
for 'Cru Communal' it has raised the profile<br />
of the region highlighting the importance of<br />
terroir.<br />
Living on the South Coast , we love pairing<br />
the wines we have to the amazing array of<br />
fresh, local produce. At this time of year<br />
the white wines from the Loire are perfect<br />
with fresh seafood such as Lymington Crab<br />
or Poole bay oysters. The asparagus season<br />
is also upon us, and there is nothing better<br />
than a plate of the beautiful spears freshly<br />
steamed and a glass of Sauvignon Blanc<br />
from the region.<br />
Poiron Dabin Muscadet Sur Lie Veille<br />
Vignes - A wine from 50 year old vines, this<br />
produces a classic 'Sur Lie' Muscadet with<br />
citrus and green apple notes and<br />
minerality. Pair to oysters!<br />
Poiron Dabin Sauvignon 'Fie Gris' 2017 -<br />
From one of their more obscure grape<br />
varieties which has a pinkish hue to the<br />
skin, this is fruity, slightly riper style with a<br />
touch of elderflower and ripe apple. The<br />
perfect match would be Asian food with a<br />
touch of spice, or fish baked with aromatic<br />
herbs.<br />
Poiron Dabin Chateau Thebaud 'Clos des<br />
Tabardieres' Sevre et Maine' 2012 - The<br />
top Cru communal wine where vineyards<br />
are on prime granite sites, this wine spends<br />
55 months on lees (minimum for this cru<br />
wine is 24). It has an amazing depth of<br />
flavour, ripe notes of apple, acacia honey<br />
and a stony minerality. Save this for a<br />
celebratory dish of brill or turbot. This wine<br />
can age for up to 20 years in the cellar!<br />

Reiki is a simple, natural, non-intrusive<br />
method of energy healing which allows<br />
positive energy to flow through the hands<br />
of the practitioner, encouraging the body<br />
to balance and heal itself. The word<br />
‘Reiki’ is made up of the Japanese words<br />
– ‘Rei’ meaning ‘universal’ and ‘Ki’<br />
meaning ‘life force energy’.<br />
Reiki treats the whole person - body,<br />
mind and soul, resulting in many<br />
beneficial effects including relaxation,<br />
stress reduction and a feeling of peace,<br />
security and well-being. The client<br />
remains fully clothed whilst the<br />
practitioner uses a series of hand<br />
positions either on or slightly above the<br />
body, according to the client’s<br />
preference. A warm, soothing energy<br />
flows from the hands into the client,<br />
promoting relaxation, releasing tension<br />
and helping to balance the body’s energy<br />
centres (‘chakras’) on a very deep level.<br />
Some people experience the energy as<br />
heat, others as coolness, some as tingling<br />
or a vibration, others see colours and<br />
some feel nothing at all although the<br />
universal energy is always working.<br />
Experiences differ from person to person<br />
and from session to session, but Reiki can<br />
never do any harm - only good.<br />
