WILDLIFE MATTERS ……... to all of us<br />

Welcome to the second Wildlife Matters pages.<br />

In this issue we shall concentrate on telling you<br />

about the conservation management of<br />

Pennington Common.<br />

In June 2011, the <strong>Lymington</strong> & Pennington Town<br />

Council commenced a ten-year Stewardship<br />

Scheme in conjunction with Natural England.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Council worked closely with the New Forest<br />

National Park Authority’s Land Advice Service,<br />

who provided free expert guidance in making<br />

their application.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Management objectives for Upper<br />

Pennington Common are:<br />

• To restore an open common landscape,<br />

characterised by large glades of acid grassland<br />

and heath with small gorse brakes and<br />

scattered gorse bushes and trees.<br />

• To reduce the cover of gorse in order to<br />

restore further areas of open species-rich<br />

grassland, and purple moor grass-dominated<br />

heath.<br />

• To protect historical earth banks.<br />

• To implement a rotational gorse management<br />

plan to encourage bushy regrowth with more<br />

open scrub ‘edge’ habitat favoured by birds<br />

such as Dartford Warbler, Nightingale,<br />

Stonechat, Tree Pipit and Whitethroat. Also to<br />

provide a constant resource of suitably aged<br />

bushes for nesting.<br />

• Create a range of suitable conditions including<br />

wood edge, light scrub cover, scattered trees,<br />

short grazed turf and areas of bare ground to<br />

favour a diversity of heathland birds, including<br />

ground nesting birds such as Nightjar and<br />

Woodlark, invertebrates and reptiles.<br />

Existing special species on Upper Pennington<br />

Common:<br />

Nationally Scarce Soft-leaved Sedge, Pale<br />

Heath Violet, Wild Chamomile and Upright<br />

Chickweed, with locally uncommon Broadleaved<br />

Cotton Grass, Pale Butterwort, Burnet<br />

Rose, Lesser Bladderwort, Dodder and Matgrass.<br />

Also nationally rare Reddish Buff moth.<br />

Target Species:<br />

Nightjar:<br />

A New Forest speciality and a bird that could<br />

be encouraged to the Pennington Common.<br />

Listen out next May & June for its ‘churring’<br />

night-time call.<br />

Pale-heath Violet: Recorded within heath at<br />

Upper Pennington Common<br />

Soft-leaved Sedge: Also recorded on the<br />

Common.<br />

WILDLIFE MATTERS ……... continued<br />

Management Methods:<br />

Techniques to encourage suitable habitat for<br />

nesting birds and invertebrates: Young birch<br />

and willow is present amongst a number of<br />

more mature gorse stands. This is removed<br />

in conjunction with the rotational gorse<br />

management. Gorse is managed on a<br />

rotational basis to create diverse age<br />

structure.<br />

Other management includes; the restoration<br />

of species-rich semi-natural grassland,<br />

woodland and lowland heath, maintenance<br />

of wood pasture, parkland, ponds of high<br />

wildlife value and the control of invasive<br />

plant species.<br />

Indicators of Success: Cover of shrubs such<br />

as Holly, Hazel, Hawthorn and Blackthorn<br />

should be between 10% and 50%. By year<br />

10, undesirable species such as Holm Oak,<br />

Sycamore, Rhododendron, Laurel and<br />

Japanese Knotweed should be rare (less than<br />

5% cover). In all years, populations of<br />

nationally scarce Upright Chickweed and<br />

Chamomile has to be maintained. In return<br />

for completing these works, the Council are<br />

able to claim up to £5,953 pa from the EU &<br />

Natural England pot for the duration of the<br />

ten-year plan. A further £14,749 for capital<br />

works is also available.<br />

Lousewort: Flowers from April to <strong>September</strong><br />

on damp acid grassland<br />

PLANNING FOR A PUPPY?<br />

If you, or<br />

someone you<br />

know, is<br />

thinking about<br />

bringing a fourlegged<br />

little<br />

bundle of fun<br />

into the family,<br />

then read on as Sophie's Pet Care® present some<br />

of the important things that need to be<br />

considered…<br />

Cute puppies can all too quickly become big,<br />

strapping dogs, so you need to start by asking<br />

yourself whether you and your tribe can cope<br />

with them as the grow up. Are you willing to<br />

integrate a dog into your family for the next<br />

fifteen years, through all the good times and the<br />

bad? You see, your puppy really needs to<br />

become a family member right from the very<br />

start. It's rather like making a commitment to<br />

having a child; and just like a child they can be<br />

time-consuming and demanding. <strong>The</strong>y'll need<br />

love, attention and plenty of exercise, both<br />

mental and physical.<br />

Keeping a dog costs money too; in addition to<br />

occasional vet bills, there's the cost of food,<br />

insurance and, when you're away or out at work,<br />

the added cost of external care. Puppies can be<br />

perfect little people around the home, or they<br />

can be little devils, chomping happily through<br />

your favourite furnishings. <strong>The</strong>y love leaving<br />

mud and hair everywhere too. <strong>The</strong> point is, if<br />

you love your house more than your dog, this<br />

might not be a match made in heaven!<br />

If you're renting your home and still think a<br />

puppy is for you, then before you get too excited<br />

about the prospect, you'll need to check whether<br />

your landlord will agree to it. Some don't. Even if<br />

you're a homeowner, you'll still need to make<br />

sure your home and garden are suitable. <strong>The</strong><br />

latter needs to be secure and escape-proof.<br />

Puppies love to explore and will wiggle through<br />

the tiniest holes to taste that big, exciting, wide<br />

world that lies outside of your garden.<br />

<strong>The</strong> next thing to consider is whether your house<br />

is a suitable size for the breed you have in mind.<br />

Some little dogs that you would perhaps expect<br />

to be fine in a small house like, for example,<br />

terriers, detest being cooped up, and although<br />

some of the bigger breeds don't mind being<br />

couch potatoes all day, too much inactive<br />

lounging around doesn't do their health any<br />

good. So choose a breed that fits, not only your<br />

fancy, but also your home environment.<br />

Finally, you need to take a hard, long look at<br />

yourself. Can you honestly say you'd make a<br />

responsible dog owner and look after that cute,<br />

perfect puppy throughout its whole life, come<br />

what may? Will you give it the life it deserves in<br />

return for the wonders of canine companionship<br />

and a unique brand of unconditional love rarely<br />

found elsewhere?<br />

Well, if you can answer 'yes' to most of the<br />

questions posed in this piece, but remain<br />

worried about having to leave your puppy now<br />

and again when you're out or at work, and also<br />

can't bear the thought of dumping them into<br />

kennels when you go on holiday, then that's<br />

actually okay, because Sophie's Pet Care® can<br />

solve all that . We can provide specialist,<br />

bespoke home visits for your puppy that will give<br />

them exercise and mental stimulation when you<br />

can't be around, and even arrange wonderful<br />

dog holidays in loving, local homes for your<br />

pampered pooch while you jet off to the<br />

sunshine for a fortnight or<br />

whatever.<br />

NOTES FROM THE SOLENT CELLAR<br />

Wine Merchants often look forward to the<br />

different seasons, with each season a certain<br />

style of wine tends to dominate our sales.<br />

Bordeaux and Burgundy in December, Rioja<br />

around Easter time, Beaujolais for Nouveau in<br />

November - but one of my favourites is Rosé<br />

season, to me this indicates the start of the<br />

Summer!<br />

Our rosé season starts in April when we get to<br />

taste the new vintage of the wines we ship<br />

directly, and if the sun keeps it's hat on it runs<br />

through until the end of <strong>September</strong>.<br />

A customer tip off early last year introduced<br />

us to the stunning wines of Chateau<br />

Maravenne in Provence who weren't yet<br />

imported into the<br />

UK. After tasting<br />

the wines and<br />

visiting the Estate<br />

(it’s a tough job<br />

honestly), we are<br />

delighted by the<br />

range we have for<br />

the second year<br />

running from the<br />

small, organic<br />

Estate that is just a<br />

stones throw from the Mediterranean Sea.<br />

When looking at pairing rosé to food you<br />

can't go too wrong - the dry styles from<br />

Provence are very enjoyable as an aperitif,<br />

but as expected is a winner with French<br />

Provencial cooking, Elizabeth David eat your<br />

heart out! Grilled seafood such as squid or<br />

mackerel, and freshly picked <strong>Lymington</strong> crab<br />

are nothing short of perfect with this style of<br />

wine. Also summer salads and new season<br />

lamb with a fresh salsa verde. It is often the<br />

assumption that red wine goes well with<br />

Time for Provence<br />

cheese, however pair a delicate Provence<br />

rosé to soft cheeses such as brie or<br />

camembert, or hunt out the British version<br />

Baron Bigod from Suffolk and see how well<br />

they go together!<br />

Mussels with Garlic, Parsley and Chilli<br />

• Steam the mussels in either water or a<br />

splash of wine.<br />

• Open the<br />

mussels up and<br />

discard half of the<br />

shell.<br />

• Mix<br />

breadcrumbs,<br />

garlic, parsley and<br />

fresh/dried chilli<br />

flakes and pour<br />

over some melted<br />

butter.<br />

• Tightly pack<br />

the mussels with the breadcrumb mix and<br />

arrange in an oven proof dish.<br />

• Pop under a hot grill for 2-3 minutes until<br />

the breadcrumbs are crispy and golden.<br />

To explore our range of rosé wines visit our<br />

website www.thesolentcellar.co.uk or pop<br />

into the shop on St Thomas Street in<br />

<strong>Lymington</strong> (opposite M&S).<br />

We will be serving up a range of wines from<br />

Chateau Maravenne at <strong>Lymington</strong> Seafood<br />

Saturday and 11-6pm Sunday . Please see<br />

In the Garden<br />

with Alan Edmondson of<br />

Bowercot Garden Design<br />

<strong>August</strong>/<strong>September</strong><br />

Gardening Tips<br />

• Watering is most important. Even if it does rain, check containers and baskets in sheltered<br />

positions.<br />

• Collect black spot infected leaves from beneath roses on a regular basis. Do not compost<br />

them.<br />

• Trim established hedges such as box, holly, beech and yew. <strong>The</strong>se are all only given an<br />

annual cut.<br />

• Clear duckweed from the surface of pools.<br />

• Cut gladioli as soon as the lower flowers open but leave at least four leaves on the plant in<br />

order to feed the developing corm.<br />

• Pick sweet corn cobs as soon as the seeds exude ‘milk’, when pressed with your finger nail.<br />

• Cut out fruited loganberry canes to the base and tie in the new stems.<br />

• If mare’s-tail is a problem, crush the stems before applying glyphosphate weedkiller.<br />

• If you are thinking of building a rockery or raised alpine bed, choose a sunny, well drained<br />

position away from trees.<br />

• Continue to dead head roses – this should ensure they bloom throughout the month.<br />

• Take cuttings of lavender and protect them in a cold frame.<br />

• Pick remaining tomatoes and lay them out to ripen in a warm place, but not in direct<br />

sunlight.<br />

• Prepare containers for planting spring flowering bulbs. Try a bottom layer of tulips, a middle<br />

layer of daffodils and a top layer of crocus.<br />

• Do not forget to feed the fish in your pond. Live food may be becoming scarce and they<br />

need to build up their reserves for the winter.<br />

Mrs Alex Jennings<br />

<strong>The</strong> Will Writing Company Insolvency<br />

At the turn of the year, <strong>The</strong> Will Writing<br />

Company of Nottingham withdrew its<br />

application to be registered with the<br />

Solicitors Regulation Authority (the<br />

regulatory body for solicitors). Although<br />

the company was one of the more<br />

successful will writing companies, lasting<br />

for some 28 years, it has now gone into<br />

insolvency. If your will was prepared by<br />

this company it may now be held by<br />

Deedbank, a company with directors from<br />

the same family, who advertise storage<br />

charges of £4.95 a month.<br />

Companies House records show many<br />

such incorporated will writers are now<br />

dissolved and quickly forgotten. This<br />

could be disastrous if a signed original<br />

will, or a copy of a lost, revoked or<br />

accidentally destroyed will, is required<br />

from a will writer after the death of the<br />

testator.<br />

Choosing a will writer can be influenced<br />

by price or advertising, as will writers and<br />

estate planners often “mail shot”<br />

potential clients (Solicitors are not<br />

permitted to do this). If you are thinking<br />

of using such a business, do check their<br />

employees’ qualifications, how long they<br />

keep their records and the cost of storing<br />

your documents.<br />

In <strong>2018</strong>, Heppenstalls celebrate their<br />

125th anniversary in <strong>Lymington</strong> and 95th<br />

anniversary in New Milton. Hence we<br />

have served our local community for a<br />

very long time. If you are thinking of<br />

reviewing your will (or making one for the<br />

first time), we should be delighted to help<br />

you.<br />

We can come visit you at your home to<br />

discuss your needs, or arrange an<br />

appointment at any of our offices.<br />

Contact our qualified private client team<br />

on 01425 610078 or 01590 689500.<br />

We do not charge for storing our Clients'<br />

HOW TO MAKE YOUR COMPUTER FASTER<br />

One of the most common complaints I get<br />

is, ‘My computer is running so much<br />

slower than it used to’….. And the follow<br />

on, ‘What can I do about it?’<br />

Why does this happen? Everytime you<br />

install a new program, the chances are it<br />

will also install another program to check<br />

for updates. For example : your printer<br />

software will be phoning home to see<br />

whether there is anything it should be<br />

downloading, and whether the printer has<br />

enough ink.<br />

<strong>The</strong> programs themselves are not large,<br />

but they take up space that the operating<br />

system and other programs would<br />

otherwise use. <strong>The</strong> less space in memory,<br />

the more the computer disk drive has to be<br />

used, and that slows things down.<br />

Stopping programs you don’t need from<br />

running at start-up will help, just make<br />

sure they are not vital to the computer!<br />

Without going into detail, the more a<br />

computer is used, the more likely it is that<br />

files will be split up to fill the available<br />

space on the hard disk. Most of the time<br />

this is dealt with automatically by<br />

Windows, through a process called defragmenting.<br />

If this is not set to work<br />

automatically, running it manually may<br />

help speed things up. Apple computers<br />

work differently so they shouldn’t have<br />

this problem.<br />

But there are a couple of things you can do<br />

that, whilst not guaranteed, are very likely<br />

to speed up your computer:<br />

Increase the amount of main memory. If<br />

you are trying to run Windows with 4Gb or<br />

less, increasing to 8Gb or above should<br />

make a difference to the speed, but only if<br />

you are running a 64bit operating system.<br />

You’ll need to Google how to find out how<br />

to check this, as that is beyond the scope<br />

of this article.<br />

Another way of speeding things up is to<br />

install a SSD replacement hard disk if you<br />

have a standard hard disk. SSD disks use<br />

memory chips, and work much quicker<br />

than mechanical hard disks. In fact you<br />

may prolong the need to upgrade for<br />

several years by doing so.<br />

In both cases http://uk.crucial.com/ is a<br />

good place to start . <strong>The</strong>y have the facility<br />

to download a test program which will tell<br />

you what components will work with your<br />

computer. <strong>The</strong>re are cheaper places to buy<br />

memory and SSD drives, but my<br />

experience with them so far has been<br />

good.<br />

Home-Start Hampshire is a<br />

local charity that provides a<br />

range of support to families<br />

with young children. Our<br />

volunteers help families deal<br />

with the challenges they<br />

face. It supports parents as<br />

they learn to cope, improves<br />

their confidence and helps<br />

them build better lives for<br />

their children.<br />

Families can find it hard to<br />

cope for all sorts of reasons,<br />

maybe due to an illness or<br />

disability of a child, postnatal<br />

depression, serious illness/<br />

death of a parent,<br />

bereavement or loneliness.<br />

Home-Start will offer support<br />

to any parent with at least one<br />

child under the age of five who<br />

asks for our help.<br />

We also support families in<br />

groups, at special events and<br />

provide help to access local<br />

services.<br />

Without government funding<br />

Home-Start Hampshire is<br />

responsible for raising its own<br />

funds in order to keep the<br />

scheme a continuing<br />

success. It costs just £1,300 a<br />

year to support a family and<br />

with your support more<br />

families across the region<br />

could be supported to give<br />

their children the best possible<br />

start in life.<br />

<strong>The</strong> next event we are holding<br />

to raise funds for the charity<br />

will be the, “Yachtmaster Ball”,<br />

a black-tie event on Friday the<br />

7th <strong>September</strong> <strong>2018</strong>, held at<br />

the Yacht Haven Marina,<br />

<strong>Lymington</strong>.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is the opportunity for<br />

400 supporters to enjoy the<br />

evening’s festivities including;<br />

fabulous food, live<br />

music, Auction of Promises<br />

and raffle in the line- up plus a<br />

chance to meet staff and<br />

volunteers from Home-Start<br />

Hampshire to learn more<br />

about the work of the charity.<br />

Most importantly we would<br />

like to invite come along and<br />

join in this gala evening in a<br />

wonderful venue. If you<br />
