Welcome to the Wildlife Matters page. Our 

towns, villages and hamlets are rich in 

wildlife habitats and species and makes the 

New Forest a unique environment. Just look 

out of your window or step into your garden 

to see wildlife flourishing. 

We work closely with Town & Parish 

Councils and the National Park - Land Advice

We aim to celebrate these habitats and tell 

you about their management. We encourage 

families to go out and enjoy our wonderful 

woodlands, commons and coastline.

SUN, SEA…..and REX 

With the grey clouds at last starting to give 

way to bouts of brilliant sunshine, now's 

the time to rejuvenate your senses and 

exercise your dog at the same time by 

heading for our sparkling coastline. But 

where can you and Rex, your 

poo-producing, sandwich-stealing pooch 

actually go without upsetting everyone 

else around you? Read on, Sophie's Pet 

Care have got it all sorted... 

free bits of hot sausage. Now it's changed 

hands, and become a no-dog zone inside. 

However, there's a wide selection of 

public seating with rejuvenating sea views 

outside, and you can grab a snack and a 

drink from the beachfront shop. There are 

also public conveniences available. 

Gundimore Beach at Mudeford is ideal. 

Unlike it's neighbour Avon Beach — where 

from May they'll fine you and your fourlegged 

friend for setting foot on it — 

little-known Gundimore, right next door 

remains "dog friendly" all the year round. 

You can leave your vehicle in the sunken 

car park just behind the beach, or admire 

the view from the public car park adjacent 

to the Noisy Lobster Cafe. It's situated 

right on the seafront overlooking the Isle 

of Wight. 

Gundimore Beach begins just to the right 

of this car park and continues in a westerly 

direction up toward Mudeford Quay. 

There's usually a few dogs on the beach 

cavorting around and plunging manfully 

into the freezing waves. No one bothers 

them or you as long as you pick up your 

poo (well, not your poo exactly.... umm, 

you know what we mean). 

The Noisy Lobster Cafe used to be 

dog-friendly, didn't mind sandy floors and 

wet dogs and would often dish them out 

We can supply a walk route sheet if you 

fancy a wander around Gundimore in case 

you're stuck for inspiration. 

If you'd like a printable PDF of this walk 

route that you can take with you, simply 

email walkies@sophiespetcare.com and 

we'll send you one completely free of 

charge, and tell you about the services we 

can offer to you and your dog. 

See you next month from some more 

canine capers and hot news from the 

dogosphere!

NOTES FROM THE SOLENT CELLAR 

Poiron Dabin| New Arrivals from the Loire 

At the Solent Cellar, we love sharing our 

new wine discoveries from our travels. 

Our latest trip encompassed several 

appellations of the Loire Valley, ending our 

trip South East of Nantes in the heart of 

Muscadet country. 

There has been some resurgence going on 

in Muscadet over the recent years, and 

quality is definitely on the up! The younger 

generations are taking over the reins and 

introducing new ideas and techniques. 

Yields are being lowered and organic 

viticulture is becoming more common. The 

creation of a new Cru status for exceptional 

areas for Muscadet has been exciting for 

growers and this has resulted in the 

creation of more complex wines. Although 

only 2% of Muscadet's production accounts 

for 'Cru Communal' it has raised the profile 

of the region highlighting the importance of 

terroir. 

Poiron Dabin Sauvignon Blanc, IGP 2017 - 

Initial vine cuttings came from the 

prestigious village of Sancerre, this wine 

represents amazing value. Delicate but ripe 

passionfruit notes on the nose as well as 

pear. It has a long citrus finish. 

Poiron Dabin Muscadet Sur Lie Veille 

Vignes - A wine from 50 year old vines, this 

produces a classic 'Sur Lie' Muscadet with 

citrus and green apple notes and 

minerality. Pair to oysters! 

Poiron Dabin Sauvignon 'Fie Gris' 2017 - 

From one of their more obscure grape 

varieties which has a pinkish hue to the 

skin, this is fruity, slightly riper style with a 

touch of elderflower and ripe apple. The 

perfect match would be Asian food with a 

touch of spice, or fish baked with aromatic 

herbs. 

Living on the South Coast , we love pairing 

the wines we have to the amazing array of 

fresh, local produce. At this time of year, 

the white wines from the Loire are perfect 

with fresh seafood such as Lymington Crab 

or Poole bay oysters. The asparagus season 

is also upon us, and there is nothing better 

than a plate of the beautiful spears freshly 

steamed and a glass of Sauvignon Blanc 

from the region. 

We visited on our trip, Poiron 

Dabin a small producer. This 

family owned estate work to 

the Terra Vitis production 

method, which follow 

sustainable farming methods: 

Poiron Dabin Chateau Thebaud 'Clos des 

Tabardieres' Sevre et Maine' 2012 - The 

top Cru communal wine where vineyards 

are on prime granite sites, this wine spends 

55 months on lees (minimum for this cru 

wine is 24). It has an amazing depth of 

flavour, ripe notes of apple, acacia honey 

and a stony minerality. Save this for a 

celebratory dish of brill or turbot. This wine 

can age for up to 20 years in the cellar!

OUT ON THE WATER 

Whether you have a petrol or outboard powered craft, or a diesel inboard boat, below are 

listed a few essential checks to help you get back on the water this season 

Fuel: Petrol 

Petrol will go stale so fill up your Fuel tank to 

dilute any existing fuel. 

Replace any canister fuel filters or clean out 

any water traps or washable fuel filters. 

Replace or clean spark plugs, especially if the 

engine has been “fogged” before winter 

storage. 

Prime the fuel system and recheck the water 

traps (condensation in fuel tanks over winter 

months can create a surprising amount of 

water in fuel tanks.) 

Add fuel conditioner to your tanks – a well 

worth investment, especially when today’s 

petrol contains 10% ethanol. 

Fuel: Diesel 

Same as above with the filters etc. 

Add a biocide and water absorber to prevent 

“bug” in the tank. 

Bleed fuel through to eliminate air in fuel 

system. 

Ignition system, Electrical contact points & 

Air Filters 

Most petrol ignition systems are now modern 

style CDI or TCI that require little 

maintenance, but if you have an old 

distributor style system the points will need 

cleaning etc. 

Batteries should be on trickle charge, and 

stored off the floor in a warm environment 

during the winter months. Recharge, check 

the fluids and when battery terminals are 

refitted, make sure the contacts are clean 

and then lubricated with Vaseline or similar. 

Check all domestic fuse boxes or exposed 

connections, and check vital electrical items 

such as bilge pumps, navigation lights etc. A 

systems check on VHF and GPS would also be 

recommended. 

Replace or at least check air filters. Don’t 

forget to remove the rag you may have 

stuffed up the air intake or the bag sealing 

the exhaust! 

Steering & Controls, Gear Boxes & Propellers 

Check to see if the steering system works freely 

before you attempt to launch at the slipway. 

Likewise run & test the outboard or stern drive 

engine before launching and check the operation 

of throttle & gear shift. Nothing more 

embarrassing than launching and finding you’re 

stuck at high revs in reverse!! 

On Outboards & Sterndrives, change the gear oil if 

not already done - an absolute must especially if 

the boat is staying in the water. 

Likewise, check anodes on both the cavitation 

plate, and prop shaft or engine bracket assembly. 

Anti foul with suitable coating if required. 

Check out the propeller, re-flare the blades if 

required, and if possible, remove prop and grease 

the shaft. On smaller engines with shear pins 

check to see if you have spares! 

If you trailer a boat, then always check the wheel 

bearings before setting off and lubricate – better 

safe than sorry. 

Likewise trailer brakes and lighting boards also 

require a quick check. 

Before you launch, ensure all drain bungs are 

refitted, sea cocks are turned off and your 

mooring warps, fenders and anchor is on board 

ready to use. 

If you are leaving your boat on a mooring during 

the summer months, then an appropriate 

anti-foul applied to the hull will prevent foul build 

up and subsequent poor performance. 

It is also good practise to check the expiry date of 

flares, lifejackets and service dates on life-rafts 

and please, please, please wear your kill cord at all 

times. 

There will be other items that will need checking 

so always consult the professionals if unsure.

MOROCCO: Excitement and 

relaxation in equal measure 

Christina Pegler 

TRAVEL guide 

The city of Marrakesh has a 

rich culture with its French, 

African and Arabic 

influences shown in 

architecture, language, and 

cuisine. Jemaa el-Fnaa 

Square plays host to a huge 

souk with market stalls, 

spice sellers and all-day 

performances which usually 

start daily from around 

10am. Be prepared to see 

everything from snake 

charmers to musicians, 

acrobats to fortune tellers 

and street vendors. It is an 

experience to be savoured. 

You can combine (or 

replace!) the excitement of 

Marrakesh with a number 

of destinations; the High 

Atlas Mountains dominate 

the backdrop of the 

Moroccan skyline and there 

are some wonderful 

accommodations which can 

become your base for 

exploring the mountains 

either independently or 

with a local mountain guide 

who will take you into the 

Berber settlements where 

you will get an insight into 

local culture and customs. 

The High Atlas Mountains 

are the perfect place to cool 

down if you choose to visit 

Morocco in mid-summer. 

The mountains are 

surprisingly green and lush 

providing nature lovers a 

huge variety of birds, flora, 

and fauna to enjoy. 

Morocco has some fabulous 

beach resorts in Essaouira 

and Agadir with their golden 

sandy beaches and 

charismatic resorts full of 

history and adventure. 

Both Agadir and Essaouria 

have golf courses to suit any 

ability from 9 to 36 holes. 

Accommodation in Morocco 

is varied, ranging from 5* 

Resort Hotels to quirky 

Riads (merchants houses) 

which have been converted 

to welcome tourists. Many 

look plain from the outside 

(to disguise the wealth of 

merchants in past times) 

but open up into beautiful 

lodgings once you get 

inside. 

Even the food in Morocco is 

interesting, delicate spices 

flavouring even the simplest 

of dishes. Tagine is the 

famous dish associated with 

the country and it will not 

disappoint. Many tourists 

bring newly acquired tagine 

dishes back with them, but 

most find it difficult to 

emulate the exact flavours 

and succulent meats at 

home, so you must make 

the most of it whilst there! 

The weather in Morocco is 

pleasant through the winter 

months with temperatures 

rarely falling below 18 

degrees, summer months 

can be extremely hot but 

not so much that you 

cannot find shaded or cool 

areas. It is a beautiful 

country with fantastic 

hospitality which should 

never be discounted as a 

fabulous holiday 

destination. 

I have just come back from 

a few days in Marrakesh so 

have first-hand experience 

to impart with you!

HAVE YOU HEARD THE MYTH? 

There is a myth that I would like to expel by 

telling you a story. 

Susan and Mark fell in love when they were 

in their early twenties. They didn’t think 

much to the idea of marriage - they had a 

joint bank account and they lived together 

which was pretty much the same thing. 

Wasn’t it? 

The years went by and they added to their 

family, with two lovely children. They 

moved into their own home. When the 

property was purchased as Susan wasn’t 

working and it was easier it was put in 

Mark’s name. But that didn’t matter, did it? 

Their friends and family would often ask 

whether they were going to get married, 

They didn’t see the point -they would state 

that they were ‘common law’ husband and 

wife and they didn’t need a piece of paper. 

One family friend suggested that if they 

weren’t intending to get married then they 

should make Wills. They didn’t get around 

to it. 

Mark died suddenly in his early sixties. 

There was still a little bit of mortgage 

outstanding on the property. The children 

were both now in their thirties with 

families of their own. 

Susan suddenly found that she did not have 

the same rights as a spouse or civil partner 

and there was no such entity as a common 

law spouse. 

Susan inherited the bank account as it was 

a joint account. However, as the house was 

Mark’s, she may have rights to live in it , as 

she had been living there as a couple. 

However, as they were only cohabitees, it 

may not be plain sailing. Under the Rules 

of Intestacy that apply when someone dies 

without a Will, the house passed to the 

children not to Susan. If Susan wanted the 

house she would have to apply to the court 

under the Inheritance (Family and 

Dependents) Act 1975 as she would be a 

recognised dependant. 

This is only one of many stories we could 

tell in relation to people dying without a 

Will. The most distressing part for your 

family ,is that not leaving clear instructions 

in a Will means that the whole process of 

dealing with your estate will be more 

complex and could leave the people you 

care about most with provision. 

Let us help you put your wishes into words.

Tel: 01590 642261 


We at Sylvan Apiaries, run 170 honey 

production colonies across three counties, 

Hants, Wilts and Dorset. April was a very busy 

time for us on the bee farm, checking how 

many colonies made it through the winter. We 

always have very low numbers of losses, mainly 

because we insure our colonies have enough 

stores of honey and pollen to get them through 

a long winter, such as the one we have had this 

year. In the Autumn we only ever take the 

surplus honey to sell. 

The Oil seed rape is now in full flower and the 

colonies are in overdrive. The queens are laying 

at almost full speed. The newly hatched worker 

bees are on house cleaning duties, and the 

older bees are hard at work foraging, bringing 

back loads of pollen to feed the brood and 

nectar to feed the adult bees. Some bees will be 

collecting water. Most people don`t realise 

water is very important for the survival of bee 

colonies & we have water feeders at all our 

sites for this reason. 

Bee colonies are very well structured, with 

specific jobs to do within the colony . These are 

determined by their age- for example, cleaning 

and feeding brood, foraging and guard 

duty. Each of these jobs will be undertaken in 

turn by the adult bees during their brief life, 

which could be as little as six weeks. 

We run mostly static sites for our bees, this 

means we don`t have to keep moving colonies 

about after specific crops to pollenate. Much 

better for the bees and for our backs! 

Our main job at this time of year is to undertake 

weekly inspection , looking for sign of swarming 

and keep ahead of the bees. We add honey 

boxes to insure they have sufficient room for 

expanding brood nests and storage space for 

the incoming nectar. If we don’t do this, the 

BEHIND HIVE DOORS 

THE LIFE OF A LOCAL BEE KEEPER 

bees will run out of space and swarm, taking the 

Queen, half of the bees and honey with them. 

This is something we try our best to avoid. Once 

the nectar is collected and stored in the wax 

combs, the bees have to evaporate it to reduce 

the water content before they seal it in with a 

wax coat for use at a later date. It can now be 

called honey. 

Once the rape honey is 3/4 capped, (covered 

over with wax by the bees), it is ready to 

extract. We have to be quick as rape honey 

crystallises very quickly. Leave it for too long 

and it will have to be melted out of the comb, 

resulting in the loss of the wax comb, which is 

one of our most valuable assets. We collect the 

full combs from the hives and take them to our 

extraction room , where we uncap the honey 

frames with a revolving brush or a hot knife. 

The uncapped frames are placed into one of our 

two centrifuge spinners where the honey is 

spun out. It is then drained through a course 

sieve to take out any lumps of wax or any 

impurities. It is then stored in 15kg buckets. 

Nothing is added, it is then either sold in bulk to 

a honey packer or jarred and sold to local 

outlets. The emptied wax combs are returned 

to the hives to be cleaned and filled again by 

the bees. 

Bees and other pollinators are under pressure 

from loss of suitable forage in today`s world. 

Gardens are smaller than they use to be, 

hedgerows have been grubbed out and 

replaced by fences. This combined with the use 

of pesticide on a large scale is having an adverse 

effect on them all. 

Without bees, our food supply would be very 

much reduced. You can help support the bees 

by planting bee friendly plants and buying local 

honey, within 25 miles radius of the producer 

would be ideal.

Coastal Footpath Consultation 

As part of the consultation process on 

the new England Coast Path, the Parish 

Council has written to Natural England 

to voice its concern that there appears 

to be no provision made between 

Milford-on-Sea and Barton-on-Sea for 

further cliff erosion. 

The Parish Council is anxious to retain a 

footpath between the two points, and as 

Natural England and Hampshire County 

Council are aware, the predictions by 

coastal experts continue to expect 

further cliff erosion. The Parish Council 

has requested that serious consideration 

be given to gaining access to land to 

ensure the footpath is maintained when 

the inevitable erosion occurs. 

There is no alternative routes between 

Milford and Barton other than a busy 

road 


which has no pavements or other 

footpath alongside. 

Natural England have assured the Parish 

Council that: 

“sections … between Highcliffe and 

Milford on Sea have all been identified 

as requiring ‘rollback’ up to The white 

House…‘Rollback’ is a mechanism that 

enables Natural England to realign the 

trail in a timely fashion without further 

reference to the Secretary of State. 

There is a mechanism also, should 

there be an unexpected need due to a 

significant storm for example where 

rollback wasn’t expected for Natural 

England to submit a ‘Variation Report’ 

to realign the trail. 

Development at 2&4 Keyhaven Road 

Renaissance Retirement is no longer 

proceeding with this development of 8 

retirement properties following a 

corporate restructure. We wait to hear 

on the future of the site. 

Keyhaven War Memorial Refurbishment 

The Parish Council has funded the 

renovation of Keyhaven 

War Memorial to ensure it 

is a fitting tribute to the 

fallen, for generations to 

come. The Parish Council 

would like to thank John de 

Candole for his work on 

this project. 

In either case Natural England would 

work with landowners to identify a 

suitable alignment which would ensure 

that continuity of the trail is achieved.” 

The closing date for comments is 

Wednesday 16 th August 2018 and you

WHAT 0N EARTH IS GDPR? 

You may have heard about the General 

Data Protection Regulations which are just 

become law but may not have any idea 

what it means for regular people. You’re 

not alone. To fully explain GDPR would 

take more space than I have here, but I 

hope to give you an idea of how it affects 

you. 

The reasoning behind GDPR is that 

businesses have been playing fast and 

loose with our personal information, 

without too much in the way of risk to 

themselves. For large companies, a fine of 

£500,000 isn’t really a deterrent. £17m or 

4% of annual turnover, whichever is 

higher, hurts a bit more. 

But it’s not just about what happens when 

things go wrong. GDPR also gives the little 

man the right to know what information a 

company is holding about them, how long 

they intend to hold it, what justification 

they have to do so and the right to have 

the information completely destroyed. 

If there is a valid legal reason, such as part 

of a contract, then there is no right to be 

forgotten. But otherwise companies have 

to comply with removal requests within a 

reasonable timescale and can be reported 

to the Information Commissioners Office, 

who have much more power now, if they 

don’t. 

Companies also have to publicly publish 

how they deal with your personal 

information and how long they intend to 

hold on to it. They also have to say how 

individuals can contact them with queries 

or requests specifically relating to personal 

data. 

These details are commonly linked to on 

company websites, so look for links to 

things like Personal Data Protection Policy, 

Data Retention Policy or Data Privacy 

Notice at the bottom of website pages, or 

in their legal sections. 

Most importantly, they cannot keep your 

information without your consent if they 

have no other reason to keep it. There is 

something called ‘Legitimate Interest’ as 

well as legal contracts which allow data 

retention, but companies can only use 

your data for the use they are claiming 

legitimate interest. They can’t for instance 

add you to their email list as well if they 

don’t have your explicit consent to do so. 

Companies have to renew any consent you 

give on a regular basis and if they ask you, 

and you don’t reply, they have to remove 

you from their records. See 

www.ico.org.uk for more information.

DIARY PLANNING 

Solent Music Festival 

19th-23rd September 2018 

September sees the return of the Solent 

Music Festival to Lymington. The festival, 

directed by Sophia Pagoni, features 

internationally-renowned artists 

performing in the intimate setting of St 

Thomas Church. 

This year Michael Portillo will be appearing 

with the festival’s Artistic Director, pianist 

Sam Haywood. Cellist Steven Isserlis will be 

joined by Anthony Marwood and others 

for a chamber music feast of Beethoven, 

Faure, Schumann and Brahms. Members of 

the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightement 

will perform Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and 

Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 and 

Irish soprano Ailish Tynan will sing 

Schubert and Schumann Lieder with 

clarinettist Katherine Spencer. 

Katherine has participated in every festival 

since it was founded in 2013. 

'I've always liked to think of my audience 

as individuals, I suppose it's a way of 

controlling nerves. But what I realise every 

time I come to play at the Solent Music 

Festival is that yes, I'm playing/connecting 

with the individual as I always try to, but 

the SMF audience are a collective 

experience too. A family. A warm vibrant 

community that are hungry to have good 

music. I can't wait to be part of it all again.' 

Tickets are now on sale from the Solent 

Cellar and online via the festival’s 

website solentmusicfestival.com. 

Early booking advised.

Milford Gardeners’ Club has been running now 

for over 20 years and is still going strong with 

over 130 members. 

Meetings are on the third Wednesday of the 

month at 7.00 pm at the Church Hall. 

Our programme includes speakers on a wide 

variety of garden related subjects. We started 

this year with a talk on the flowers and 

scenery of South Africa, a great boost in a grey 

January. We have also covered climbing plants 

for sun and shade and choosing and growing 

vegetables for flavour. We do day trips to visit 

gardens and a very popular club holiday most 

years. Our annual plant fair in May has become 

a familiar sight on the Village green. 

Recent months have seen a few changes with 

Jen Spenser stepping down from the chair, 

having done an amazing job for the last 17 

years. She is remaining on the committee but 

her role has been taken on by Sue Crabb. 

Last month’s speaker was Chris Bird from 

Sparsholt College talking about “ The White 

Garden”. 

He kept us all on our toes with quick fire 

questions about the identity of the plants on 

his slides and I think was impressed by the 

collective knowledge of the members. There 

were lots of laughs along with a good helping of 

information, especially about the structure and 

design of gardens, focal points and using green 

plants as a foil to show off white plants to best 

advantage 

Coming up, we have a talk on” Perfume of 

Plants” linked to essential oils and in June, a 

talk on the “Roses of Mottisfont Abbey 

Gardens.” 

Any of our talks have general appeal, you don’t 

have to be a keen gardener, just a love of 

plants, flowers and gardens, so why not give us 

a try? More information can be found on our 

website www.milfordgardenersclub.co.uk.

BIRD MIGRATION NOW AT PEAK 

Woodland birds 

such as Chiffchaff, 

Blackcap and 

Willow Warbler are 

now being heard 

throughout the 

Pleasure Grounds. 

Along the seafront 

Sandwich, 

Common and Little 

Tern’s are all on the move to their summer 

breeding grounds. Gardens, especially those 

backing onto Studland Common, Studland 

Meadow and the woodland are also enjoying 

their share of interesting birds, no more so 

than the Wryneck that visited a Pless Road 

garden last weekend. 

The Wryneck is a member of the 

woodpecker family and very much behaves 

like one, other than it is not silly enough to 

want to bang his head against the trees 

trunks like its close family members the 

Green and Great Spotted Woodpecker! 

Another peculiar habit is that to help conceal 

itself, it sometimes perches along branches 

rather than across them. It also clings to 

trees like its more common family 

woodpecker members. 

WOODLAND BLUEBELLS 

Two volunteer members of our group have 

been working hard to remove bramble and 

fallen dead wood from the various bluebell 

patches so that they are given the best 

chance of flowering … the Bluebells that is, 

not the volunteers! We also need to thin out 

some of the spindly saplings whose leaves 

shade the plants from the sun. This job has 

to be undertaken with great care as they try 

not to tread on the plants as they are

FOOTPATHS, CULVERTS & PIPES 

Graham - Parish Clerk, Jason (Contractor) 

and MCV volunteers have been working 

really hard this winter to bring the 

footpaths back up to a good standard. The 

winter kept the paths extremely wet. 

Several hundred yards have now been 

upgraded along with several new underground 

drainage pipes and revetment 

upgrades.

WE WOULD LIKE TO INVITE YOU 

TO TRY OUR FRESH HOMECOOKED FOOD AND MEET OUR 

FRIENDLY STAFF 

We have been working hard transforming this already 

beautiful 18th Century Coach House into a stunning 

country pub and restaurant. 

We are concentrating on providing friendly, 1st class 

service alongside freshly made on the premises, 

locally sourced dishes, with a slight twist on pub 

classics, ensuring the menu is appealing to discerning 

diners. 

Serving food ALL DAY– EVERY DAY, alongside the 

menu will be fresh daily specials also locally sourced. 

We are catering for the larger and smaller appetite 

and have a totally fresh menu for junior diners. With 

mouth-watering desserts, there is also the option of 

your own personalised cheese board from our 

premium cheese trolley. 

Our other pubs are already famous in The New Forest 

for their outstanding roast dinners and The Royal Oak 

will be the same. We have some lovely large tables 

for families and friends and some cosy tables for two! 

Whether you are popping in for a drink (check out 

our varied wine list, our real ales, ciders and lagers) 

or want an evening out dining, make sure you come 

and see us, meet the team and let us know what you 

think. Oh….and don’t forget to bring your four legged 

friend as we also welcome dogs!
