Welcome to the <strong>Oct</strong>ober/<strong>Nov</strong>ember<br />

edition of <strong>The</strong> <strong>Village</strong> <strong>Voice</strong>.<br />

Through editing this magazine, I’ve really<br />

been enjoying getting to know much<br />

more about our local groups and<br />

charities. <strong>The</strong> people involved are truly<br />

inspiring.<br />

<strong>The</strong> other key aim of the magazine is to<br />

support local trades people and<br />

businesses. We have a wealth of<br />

expertise and experience on our<br />

doorstep. I’m so encouraged to always<br />

look locally, as I hope you do as well.<br />

Did you find time to visit some of the<br />

artists exhibiting the recent Hampshire<br />

Open Studios? Shaun Steven’s work is a<br />

real treat for the magazine front cover,<br />

and is entitled, “Walk the Dog”. If you<br />

didn’t see her work at Keyhaven, Shaun<br />

exhibits at the Hurst Marine shop and<br />

also Handmade New Forest in Lymington.<br />

Alternatively, visit her website<br />

www.shaunstevensart.com. She has such<br />

a great range of styles to her work.<br />

You will notice some Christmas events<br />

creeping into the magazine. Where has<br />

the year gone?<br />

With best wishes<br />

BRINGING HISTORY HOME<br />

Since launching the Milford-on-Sea Historical<br />

Record Society’s website<br />

www.milfordhistory.org.uk, we have found that<br />

the House Histories page has been particularly<br />

popular. It contains short accounts of properties<br />

in the village and many of them can be seen by<br />

the QR signs where they are displayed. <strong>The</strong><br />

<strong>Village</strong> <strong>Voice</strong> has invited us to provide some<br />

more detailed histories of houses in Milford,<br />

both large and small. We shall start with a<br />

smaller house at No.46 High Street.<br />

Polly’s Pantry<br />

On March 1 st 1676 P. Rudsby of Winchester<br />

received £16 from William Thorn, blacksmith, of<br />

Milford for a 1000 year lease on the property<br />

known as Yatemans. It was described as a<br />

tenement or dwelling house, with the barn and<br />

garden plot which was bounded by John Gritt’s<br />

land on the west, by John Hutchins land on the<br />

east, by the Kings Highway on the north and by<br />

the river on the south.<br />

By 1875, Edmund Cole who now owned the<br />

property had died intestate and his wife, Louisa,<br />

was granted letters of administration. At her<br />

death in 1907, Letters of Administration were<br />

granted to her son, Frank Cole, who sold the<br />

residue of the lease to Edward Knight for £295.<br />

This effectively became a freehold property by<br />

virtue of ‘the Conveyance & Law of Property’<br />

Act 1881.<br />

<strong>The</strong> property had a frontage of about 35 feet<br />

bounded on the west by another property<br />

agreed to be purchased by Edward Knight and<br />

on the south by the Danestream.<br />

It would appear that in 1912, Edward took out a<br />

mortgage to pay for this and another property.<br />

<strong>The</strong> mortgage was with the Trustees of the<br />

Southampton & West Hants District No. 121 of<br />

the Independent Order of Rechabites [Salford<br />

Unity] Friendly Society.*<br />

In 1919, Cecil Lewis Knight bought the property<br />

from his brother, Edward, for his grocery and<br />

confectionery business which is today Polly’s<br />

Pantry at No. 46 Milford High Street.<br />

When the Cole family sold the property to<br />

Edward in 1907, the agreement was needed<br />

from all the members of the family who were<br />

alive and were 21 or over. Edmund and Louisa<br />

had thirteen children and by the date of this<br />

sale, five of them had died and one, Louisa’s son<br />

George, was not available, nor was it known if<br />

he was still alive. In 1859 he had emigrated to<br />

Queensland, Australia, but he kept in contact<br />

with his mother, Louisa, until 6 January 1883. In<br />

his last letter to her, he said that he had been<br />

wounded in a fight with natives. As he had not<br />

been heard of for 22 years he was presumed to<br />

be dead, and it was agreed that as long as he<br />

had some protection, Edward could go ahead.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Cole family agreed to give a covenant<br />

indemnifying him if any claim should be made<br />

by George Cole or any of his heirs or successors.<br />

It would be interesting to see what would<br />

happen if somebody did turn up!<br />

Bringing History Home project supported by the<br />

feature a history of <strong>The</strong> White House.<br />

*[<strong>The</strong> Independent Order of Rechabites is a friendly<br />

society founded in England in 1835 as part of the wider<br />

British temperance movement to promote total abstinence<br />

from alcoholic beverages. Always well connected<br />

in upper society and involved in financial matters, it<br />

gradually transformed into a financial institution]<br />

DOGS COME TOO!<br />

Record numbers of British holidaymakers are<br />

choosing to go off on vacation with their dogs<br />

instead of leaving them behind. It's not just UK<br />

holidays either; some intrepid dog owners are<br />

even calling on their vets, and paying to have<br />

them issue special pet passports to enable their<br />

four-legged friends to travel abroad with them!<br />

an infusion of elderflower, linden blossom,<br />

ginseng and water or 'Pawsecco Rose'; (same<br />

again but with carrot added). For the more<br />

butch-type dogs there's good old 'Bottom<br />

Sniffer Beer' containing dandelion and burdock.<br />

And to round off the meal, Fido can choose 'old<br />

sock ice cream' too. Strange but true!<br />

In recent years, our dogs have become much<br />

more important members of our families and<br />

now there's a growing demand for dogfriendly<br />

self-catering cottages, hotels and even<br />

luxury villas that don't just tolerate dogs, but<br />

actively encourage them to come too.<br />

Here are some examples:<br />

Even the upper echelons of polite society are<br />

getting in on the 'dogs come too' act: In<br />

London's fancy Knightsbridge at the five-star<br />

Egerton House Hotel, while well-heeled guests<br />

tuck into their scones and finger sandwiches in<br />

the drawing room, their dogs can enjoy their<br />

own special 'Dog Afternoon Tea'.<br />

<strong>The</strong> four-star, 15th century Swan at Lavenham<br />

Hotel and Spa has a renowned restaurant, and<br />

has now created a special in-the-room dinner<br />

menu especially for its canine guests.<br />

In the 12th century Tuscan Castello Del Nero,<br />

Michelin-starred chefs fuss around<br />

preparing bespoke meals for dogs who come in<br />

hungry after a day sniffing around the 740<br />

acres of olive groves and vineyards and cooling<br />

off in a couple of lakes.<br />

Channels Bar and Brasserie in Essex supply an<br />

extensive range of luxury treats for dogs from<br />

their 'DoggyDining' menu. <strong>The</strong>re are old<br />

favourites that are sure to please, like<br />

sausages and rashers of bacon alongside<br />

choices such as 'cheese and crackers', which<br />

are actually chunks of cheddar with chicken<br />

rawhide crackers served with an apple<br />

garnish. It doesn't end there either; a range of<br />

side orders like doggy crisps (crunchy<br />

vegetable crisps made for dogs), doggy<br />

popcorn (made in Britain especially for dogs<br />

too and 'with 100% natural ingredients') is<br />

available. And If some of that sounds a bit dry<br />

for the canine palate, then pampered pooches<br />

can wash it all down with 'Pawsecco White';<br />

It's a growing trend, but if your holiday simply<br />

doesn't work with your dog, but you really<br />

don't like the idea of leaving your four-legged<br />

family member in kennels, then Sophie's<br />

Pet Care® have the perfect solution: We<br />

regularly arrange VIP holidays for your dog in<br />

the comfort of loving, family homes in our<br />

area, so that your pooch has a holiday that's at<br />

least as good as your own! Pick up the dog and<br />

bone and call ………………. or visit<br />

NOTES FROM THE SOLENT CELLAR<br />

What’s in Your Wine?<br />

Keeping up with trends and changes in tastes is<br />

one of the many enjoyable things about<br />

running an independent shop. We are able to<br />

react quickly, adding or changing lines, and<br />

there are several areas of our buying that has<br />

evolved this way. We have increased our range<br />

of organic and biodynamic wines, low or no<br />

sulphur and vegan wines.<br />

Which brings me to this interesting topic, what<br />

is in your wine?<br />

Wine has been produced for thousands of<br />

years and was previously the way of preserving<br />

what would go unused or rotten. People also<br />

drank wine with it being cleaner than drinking<br />

water at the time and it was seen as bringing<br />

many health benefits.<br />

Modern advances in technology and the<br />

demand for more affordable wine has led to<br />

the industrialisation of winemaking<br />

techniques, very much in the way that<br />

modern/supermarket bread has mostly<br />

replaced home baking. Home baking where<br />

just three ingredients were used, nowadays<br />

look on the back of your packet of bread and<br />

there are many more than that!<br />

So, what is likely<br />

to be in the<br />

average bottle of<br />

plonk? <strong>The</strong> list is<br />

long and can<br />

include things like<br />

sulphur to<br />

preserve the<br />

wine, as well as<br />

added tannin,<br />

acidifiers, sugar,<br />

clarifying agents,<br />

cultured yeasts<br />

and stabilisers.<br />

Healthy organic vineyard in the<br />

Sierra de Gredos<br />

Organic Wine - This is where the grapes are<br />

grown organically, without the use of harmful<br />

pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and chemical<br />

fertilisers, therefore better for you and the<br />

environment.<br />

Sulphur in Wine - This is used as a<br />

preservative, keeping the wine from oxidising<br />

and isn’t necessarily a bad thing in small<br />

quantities. However, some people find they<br />

react to it, especially at high levels and so it is<br />

nice to be able to offer a selection of low or no<br />

added sulphur wines. Sulphur levels in organic<br />

wines tend to be much lower.<br />

Vegan/Vegetarian Wine - More often than not<br />

fining agents are used in large scale wine<br />

production- wineries can use animal byproducts<br />

such as milk and egg white to filter<br />

any sediment. We offer a great selection of<br />

wines from smaller producers who don’t fine<br />

or filter their wines at all, as well as those that<br />

use non-animal products for this process and<br />

therefore are vegan and vegetarian friendly.<br />

Here is just a small selection of our wines that<br />

we can highly<br />

recommend<br />

trying...<br />

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

‘LANDSCAPE SCALE CONSERVATION’<br />

Ecologists, conservationists and our larger<br />

wildlife bodies are regularly talking about how<br />

best we can look after British wildlife. <strong>The</strong> term<br />

‘landscape-scale conservation’ has been coined<br />

and seems to be on everyone’s lips.<br />

Comparatively small, often isolated, nature<br />

reserves dotted around Britain’s coast or inland<br />

are no longer suitable alone for the future<br />

needs of our diminishing wildlife. Or, so we are<br />

told and with many animals rapidly declining,<br />

larger steps need to be taken.<br />

So, how real is the threat of losing species in our<br />

countryside and cities? On the face of what I<br />

see locally, not much. That is however, until you<br />

look at the wider picture. Species that have<br />

been here for hundreds of years are in decline.<br />

Farmland is under intense pressure to produce<br />

more food, often it appears, for unrealistic<br />

returns.<br />

Naturalist and broadcaster Stephen Moss says<br />

in his book ,‘Wild Kingdom’ about the farmed<br />

countryside, ‘Apart from the gently waving<br />

heads of corn in the summer’s breeze, there is<br />

an eerie silence. Nothing moves. <strong>The</strong> flutter of<br />

butterflies, their colours catching the eye as they<br />

reflect the sunshine; the buzz of bumblebees as<br />

they flit from flower to flower; even the<br />

wildflowers themselves – are all absent’.<br />

Stephen continues, ‘We only need to find out<br />

what we have lost since the end of the Second<br />

World War to realise just how much has<br />

vanished during the last 70 years – the span of a<br />

human lifetime – we have lost 99 per cent of our<br />

hay meadows, 96 per cent of our chalk and<br />

limestone grasslands, half a million farm ponds<br />

and 300,000 miles of hedgerows – enough to<br />

stretch from the earth to way beyond the<br />

moon’.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Wildlife Trusts have put in place a ‘Nature<br />

Recovery Network’, which includes trying to<br />

bring nature into the places where we work and<br />

live and to encourage farmers to make room for<br />

colourful wildflower strips running alongside<br />

hedgerows. <strong>The</strong>y contend that children seem to<br />

understand that the natural world is the<br />

foundation of our wellbeing. <strong>The</strong> Trust’s 4 stage<br />

plan is to: 1) Protect the wildest places, 2) Make<br />

connections through (‘stepping-stones’ and<br />

‘wildlife corridors’) between these larger places,<br />

3) Provide a bigger overall area for wildlife and<br />

4) Find space for wildlife in the wider landscape.<br />

Wildlife Potential:<br />

• 250,000 miles of roadside verges for<br />

wildlife.<br />

• c.430,000 hectares of gardens to help<br />

important pollinators such as<br />

bumblebees.<br />

• Public open spaces of which two-thirds<br />

is short mown grass, whereas,<br />

wildflower meadows support eight<br />

times more wildlife .<br />

• 70% of UK land is farmland where<br />

creating habitat for wildlife is vital.<br />

So, what can we do to help? <strong>The</strong>re is no real<br />

opportunity to help in this new ‘landscape scale’<br />

vision, but what every one of us can do is<br />

manage our gardens a little better for ‘wildlife’,<br />

or maybe, help your local conservation<br />

volunteers undertake work in nearby public<br />

open spaces and nature reserves.<br />

<strong>The</strong> rewards for health and well-being and<br />

just doing your bit for nature, is<br />

immeasurable. ‘Every one of us can do a<br />

little, but together we can do a lot’.<br />

DRIVING SAFELY FOR LONGER<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are currently just over 5.1 million people<br />

in the UK aged 70 and over driving on our<br />

roads, and the expectation is that this will<br />

double if not treble in the next 20 years as we<br />

all live longer. <strong>The</strong> oldest person who holds a<br />

driving licence is a male aged 107 years.<br />

Hampshire is shown as having the highest<br />

number of older drivers outside London.<br />

We know that older motorists have a wealth of<br />

experience, confidence and tolerance.<br />

However, sight, hearing, reaction time and<br />

judgement of speed and distance may not be as<br />

sharp as it once was.<br />

Fragility increases with age, so injuries tend to<br />

be more serious and recovery takes much<br />

longer. Casualty rates do increase for car<br />

drivers aged over about 65, and the fatality rate<br />

increases significantly.<br />

That’s where we come in. <strong>The</strong> Older Drivers<br />

Forum is about keeping mature motorists on<br />

the road safely for longer. Whether that’s<br />

helping giving you practical and informative<br />

help and support to continue driving or<br />

pointing you in the right direction for an<br />

assessment to identify your driving needs –<br />

from wing mirror adapters to an elevated<br />

driving seat – we’re here to help.<br />

We’re a not-for-profit group made up of<br />

experts in road safety from across Hampshire<br />

and the Isle of Wight – from representatives<br />

from the emergency services, to charities, local<br />

authorities and businesses specialising in<br />

keeping older people on the road.<br />

If you know an older driver, have contact with<br />

them regularly in your job or are perhaps just<br />

concerned for a friend or relative who is still<br />

driving then the Older Driver Forum may be<br />

able to help.<br />

<strong>The</strong> forum is holding an Older Driver<br />

Awareness Week, offering advice and tips that<br />

will help older drivers continue to drive safely<br />

or help them to decide when to stop. <strong>The</strong><br />

event is free to attend and open between<br />

9.30am to 3pm, no appointment is required<br />

and people can pop in anytime during these<br />

hours. <strong>The</strong> events are aimed at anyone with an<br />

interest, from older drivers themselves, to<br />

friends and relatives.<br />

Advice will be available on:<br />

• Brushing up your skills.<br />

• Booking a driving assessment.<br />

• Arranging a regular eyesight test.<br />

• Getting advice on health and wellbeing<br />

issues that could affect driving ability.<br />

• Renewing your licence at 70.<br />

• Learning about road safety and<br />

consequences of not being fit to drive.<br />

• Discover alternatives to being<br />

independent without a car.<br />

Safety is the top priority; it should be the most<br />

important thing older drivers consider when<br />

there is concern over driving ability. <strong>The</strong> best<br />

advice is don’t become complacent and wait for<br />

an accident or a near miss to convince a driver<br />

to stop, instead seek advice, support and help.<br />

WHY WE NEED A ‘MEN’S SHED’<br />

At the County Council, I am a member of the<br />

select committee that looks at Public Health<br />

and we recently received a presentation<br />

about ‘Men’s Sheds'. I have to say that at<br />

first I was rather puzzled about the general<br />

idea, but the more I learned about it the<br />

more it occurred to me that a Men’s Shed<br />

would be incredibly valuable in the area.<br />

Hence the beginning of a local project which<br />

I hope will be a success. So, what does a<br />

messy old shed full of workshop tools have<br />

to do with men’s health?<br />

<strong>The</strong> health of men, particularly that of single<br />

men, or those who may have lost loved ones<br />

and find themselves alone in later life, has<br />

been identified as a huge concern in<br />

communities all over the country. Not only<br />

the physical health of men but also their<br />

mental health. Isolation and lack of contact<br />

with the outside world is one of the biggest<br />

causes of depression, and particularly so in<br />

men of all ages. That is not to say that<br />

women do not suffer from loneliness. But<br />

women often find it easier to initiate going<br />

out for a coffee with friends or to join clubs<br />

such as the WI, Zumba or even Weight<br />

Watchers, where they can chat and have fun<br />

together. It has been found that many men<br />

find socialising much harder.<br />

A Men’s Shed is one way that men can find<br />

friendship and camaraderie amongst other<br />

like-minded people. Men working together<br />

on projects, learning new skills, sharing<br />

ideas and successes, helps general wellbeing<br />

and encourages a more active and fulfilling<br />

lifestyle. Sheds also offer a place to put the<br />

world to rights, to laugh and relax with<br />

other people.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is a national Men’s Shed Association<br />

(menssheds.org.uk) and there are now close<br />

to 40 Men’s Sheds in Hampshire alone, all<br />

run by the Shedders who use them. If you<br />

would like to become part of the ‘Men’s<br />

Shed brigade’ in this area, and help to get a<br />

new Shed started, please get in touch with<br />

me (contact details below).<br />

If, however, you are reading this before<br />

Thursday 20 th September, there is a public<br />

meeting about the project at New Milton<br />

Memorial Centre, Whitefield Road, on that<br />

evening (20 th ) at 7pm where we will have<br />

speakers from existing Men’s Sheds. Do<br />

come along and find out more. (NB:<br />

Women also welcome - if you enjoy a bit of<br />

DIY!)<br />

TRAVEL guide<br />

THAILAND: A live travel piece for this edition as<br />

Christina is currently in situ! This is part one of her adventure.<br />

Having flown into Bangkok via Dubai (splitting<br />

the flight into two digestible 6 and a half hour<br />

sections), we arrived to warm and dry<br />

conditions despite it being rainy season.<br />

Bangkok is a crazy, busy, fascinating city and a<br />

great place to start a visit to Thailand as long as<br />

you have a relaxing end planned! We visited the<br />

obligatory night markets and wandered around<br />

the streets with vendors selling everything from<br />

fresh fish to fake handbags.<br />

<strong>The</strong> following day we had an adventure<br />

planned. We got up early and were driven 2<br />

hours out of the city into the lush green<br />

countryside to a place called , <strong>The</strong> Flight of the<br />

Gibbons to do a few hours of zip lining! It was<br />

less terrifying than I had anticipated, and really<br />

very beautiful being above the treetops and<br />

zipping down 30 individual wires. <strong>The</strong> day was<br />

finished off with a trip around an open zoo<br />

where the animals were in (sometimes<br />

worrying) touching distance.<br />

<strong>The</strong> next day we were picked up at the crack of<br />

dawn to go to the floating market, which is an<br />

amazing<br />

experience.<br />

We travelled<br />

along the river<br />

on a long tail<br />

boat and then<br />

got dropped<br />

off and left to<br />

our own<br />

devices for a<br />

few hours. We<br />

chose to see<br />

the markets by<br />

boat and so<br />

paid 100 baht for a lady to row us through the<br />

canal network. We could stop at whichever<br />

boat we wanted to buy from. <strong>The</strong>y have a full<br />

array of fruits and vegetables for sale, as well as<br />

beautifully fresh food being cooked on the river<br />

boats. You can also buy souvenirs and clothes<br />

here. It was a lovely morning and got us back<br />

into Bangkok in time to visit the Grand Palace<br />

and Wat Pho, both of which are serene and<br />

quiet oasis in the middle of the bustling city.<br />

After a few busy hot days in Bangkok we were<br />

ready for the relaxing part of our trip, and made<br />

our way to the airport for our flight to Koh<br />

Samui. It was a seamless journey and within 3<br />

hours of leaving our hotel in the city ,we were<br />

on a beautiful white beach on Koh Samui. <strong>The</strong><br />

island is large and there is plenty to see and do<br />

here. <strong>The</strong> plan is an island tour to see the<br />

waterfalls and rock formations, but then also to<br />

take a boat to Koh Phanang to do some<br />

snorkelling in the crystal-clear waters.<br />

I am heading back to Thailand in <strong>Oct</strong>ober to see<br />

Elephant Hills and visit Phuket, so my next<br />

travel piece will be an insight into another side<br />

of Thailand.<br />

<strong>The</strong> best time to visit is usually December to<br />

May but the weather is glorious here in Koh<br />

Samui at the moment. Prices are at their lowest<br />

during our summer. <strong>The</strong>re are many direct and<br />

indirect flight options with various airlines, so<br />

we are spoilt for choice. <strong>The</strong> time change is 7<br />

hours and the local currency is the Thai Baht.<br />

At Milford Travel we can arrange all of your<br />

travel requirements to Thailand so please<br />

call 01590 644899 or visit us at 78 High<br />

Street, Milford on Sea or email<br />

enquiries@milford-travel.com.<br />

We would love to help!<br />

FACIAL REFLEXOLOGY TM (with Natural Face Lift Massage),<br />

REFLEXOLOGY & PREGNANCY REFLEXOLOGY<br />

Facial reflexology, however, has added<br />

benefits besides helping your body<br />

function at its optimum, including a<br />

reduction of fine lines and puffiness,<br />

rejuvenating skin tissue and encouraging a<br />

more toned, radiant and glowing<br />

complexion. Combined with Natural Face<br />

Lift Massage, facial reflexology can give the<br />

appearance of lifting the skin & facial<br />

muscles.<br />

A relatively new therapy, Facial<br />

Reflexology (<strong>The</strong> Bergman Method) is a<br />

buzz word amongst the red carpet and<br />

works on the same principles as foot<br />

reflexology stimulating reflex points<br />

associated with all systems and organs of<br />

the body. <strong>The</strong> proximity to the brain and<br />

cranial nerves ensures a profoundly<br />

relaxing and subtly powerful experience<br />

with some uniquely therapeutic benefits.<br />

Facial & foot reflexology treatments aim to<br />

reduce the symptoms and effects of many<br />

common ailments including stress,<br />

insomnia, migraines, IBS, back pain,<br />

arthritis, anxiety<br />

and hormonal<br />

disorders. Both<br />

treatments are<br />

extremely<br />

popular during<br />

pregnancy and<br />

can be used to<br />

help promote a<br />

shorter, natural<br />

labour.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 100% natural non-invasive treatment<br />

can be combined with Natural Facelift<br />

Massage or foot reflexology to provide a<br />

blissful combination of wellbeing and<br />

rejuvenation. Treatments are cumulative.<br />

WHEN IS CHEAP TOO CHEAP?<br />

It quite often happens that in the space of a<br />

short while, the same issue rears its head<br />

from a number of sources. In this case it was<br />

whether buying a cheap computer because<br />

of anticipated light usage is a good idea. As<br />

so often in the tech arena, the first answer is<br />

a resounding, ‘it depends’. However, when it<br />

comes to cheap computers, there is a<br />

baseline under which it is simply not wise to<br />

go.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are laptop computers currently being<br />

sold with 20-30Gb SSD hard drives. Now I<br />

can’t remember when I last used a computer<br />

with a hard drive that size, but I suspect it<br />

may have been around the turn of the<br />

century, and it seemed a very large hard<br />

drive at the time.<br />

It gets worse. Windows 10 regularly updates<br />

to add new features or fix security holes that<br />

have been discovered. To do that, it<br />

downloads the updates to your computer<br />

before it installs the new files. If you don’t<br />

have enough space to fit the update files<br />

onto your computer hard drive, the update<br />

will fail, and short of having someone put a<br />

larger hard drive in the computer, there’s<br />

little you can do.<br />

I would suggest that 128Gb is the smallest<br />

hard drive you should contemplate, coupled<br />

with 8Gb main memory if possible. It may be<br />

way more than you need, but experience<br />

tells me that’s really the best place to start if<br />

you want to keep using the computer for any<br />

length of time.<br />

Today a large hard drive is measured in<br />

Terabytes. Just putting that in perspective,<br />

you would need around fifty-one 20Gb hard<br />

drives to store one terabyte of data. 20Gb is<br />

a very small hard drive by today’s standards.<br />

‘Ah’, you may say, ‘I only do a bit of Internet<br />

searching and emails, I don’t need a very high<br />

specification computer’. That’s true, if you<br />

don’t make a habit of storing digital photos<br />

or video, you don’t need a very large hard<br />

drive.<br />

When I tell you that according to Microsoft<br />

themselves, 64-bit Windows 10 requires<br />

20Gb of free space on its own, that’s all or<br />

most of your hard drive gone right there. <strong>The</strong><br />

trouble then comes that if you want to use<br />

an alternative browser such as Chrome, or<br />

use Microsoft Office, or any other program,<br />

there’s no space left.<br />

Mervyn Couzens<br />

<strong>Oct</strong>ober/<strong>Nov</strong>ember <strong>2018</strong><br />

Land Management Award<br />

<strong>The</strong> Parish Council would like to pay tribute<br />

to River Warden Mervyn Couzens, who<br />

recently passed away. Mervyn was a<br />

stalwart of village life and tirelessly<br />

contributed many year of service to the<br />

upkeep of the Pleasure Grounds and<br />

Danestream in particular. Recently he<br />

played a key role in investigating and<br />

resolving effluent discharge into the<br />

Danestream: An active member of the<br />

Milford Conservation Volunteers he was<br />

also involved with wildlife and<br />

conservation measures in many other<br />

areas of the parish. He will be greatly<br />

missed by everyone who knew him.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Parish Council and Milford<br />

Conservation Volunteers (MCV) were<br />

jointly presented with an award for Land<br />

Management by the CLA and National<br />

Park Authority. <strong>The</strong> award was presented<br />

by Lord Gardiner of Kimble to Tony Locke<br />

from the MCV on behalf of both parties.<br />

Plastic-free Milford-on-Sea<br />

<strong>The</strong> Parish Council has recently agreed to<br />

achieve plastic –free community status.<br />

<strong>The</strong> national scheme is organised by<br />

Surfers Against Sewage and currently has<br />

over 200 towns and villages on the list,<br />

which have all<br />

worked to reduce the<br />

amount of single-use<br />

plastic in their<br />

communities. For<br />

those who take part in the regular beach<br />

cleans you will appreciate the vast amount<br />

of plastic that washes up on our beach and<br />

the detrimental effect this has on wildlife<br />

and our food chain.<br />

Parish Council comment on MOS1 – land<br />

north of School Lane<br />

Milford-on-Sea Parish Council strongly<br />

opposes the release of Green Belt for the<br />

development of 110 homes on Strategic<br />

site 7. Building on the Green Belt should<br />

be considered only in exceptional<br />

circumstances and always in response to<br />

local need. NFDC planning officers are<br />

reported as stating that Green Belt<br />

development is inappropriate. Milford’s<br />

local need is not for more private sector<br />

homes but for family affordable<br />

accommodation, which would likely form<br />

a small part of this proposed development<br />

if this land was removed from the Green<br />

Belt.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Parish Council has grave concerns that<br />

should this land be released, developers<br />

would not comply with the stated<br />

requirements for affordable homes to be<br />

built. <strong>The</strong>re is strong evidence to support<br />

this as recent press coverage on the<br />

release of Green Belt has highlighted. This<br />

is proved by Milford’s recent experience at<br />

the school lane site (MoS1), where a<br />

recent planning application took little or<br />

no regard for the conditions already set<br />

down by central government as well as<br />

the inspectorate and unbelievably was<br />

supported by NFDC Planning officers.<br />

How can residents and the Parish Council<br />

have any faith in the new Local Plan<br />

bearing in mind these events?<br />

<strong>The</strong> existing area is on a road leading to<br />

the school, which is walked by residents of<br />

all ages. <strong>The</strong> proposed development<br />

would therefore adversely impact on a<br />

great many residents and should not be<br />

removed from the current Green Belt<br />

village boundary.<br />

Soundness: <strong>The</strong> Local plan is not sound<br />

for the following reasons:<br />

<strong>The</strong> overall assessment of need is<br />

exaggerated. Two very different<br />

assessments have been presented by<br />

NFDC both contain conjecture as to<br />

demand.<br />

<strong>The</strong> assessment of need in Milford-on-Sea<br />

is also exaggerated. <strong>The</strong>re is no economic<br />

or social housing need that must be<br />

accommodated by building on the Green<br />

Belt as there are significant vacant sites<br />

within the village envelope that stand<br />

ready for development. <strong>The</strong>re is an<br />

additional Green Belt exception site in the<br />

existing Plan for 30 units of varying types<br />

which has not been developed.<br />

If these existing sites were developed the<br />

real need for affordable housing in the<br />

village would benefit local residents and<br />

not those migrating into the village who<br />

often seek to buy second homes, would be<br />

met.<br />

Other sources of additional housing<br />

include the steady intensification of land<br />

use within the village and the recent<br />

conversion of a holiday park to permanent<br />

accommodation.<br />

Infrastructure: Milford-on-Sea’s<br />

infrastructure is already under<br />

considerable strain, including:<br />

<strong>The</strong> Road System: this suffers from a T<br />

junction bottleneck leaving the village and<br />

added congestion at the school adjacent<br />

to the proposed site rendering Manor<br />

Road, <strong>The</strong> Lymington Road and other<br />

surrounding roads crowded and<br />

<strong>The</strong> proposed development would also add<br />

additional pollution to the area where the<br />

Junior School is situated. Because the<br />

proposed site is some distance from the<br />

village centre this would add to the flow of<br />

traffic into an already busy the village<br />

centre with increasingly little parking<br />

available.<br />

Public services: the school is already oversubscribed<br />

and the medical services are<br />

also at full stretch serving a particularly<br />

high proportion of older residents.<br />

Effect on wildlife population: the proposed<br />

site hosts diverse and thriving wild life<br />

including Roaming Deer, Badgers, Foxes,<br />

Buzzards, Nesting Birds, Voles and Owls<br />

and thus the proposed development would<br />

have an extreme detrimental effect on the<br />

village’s wild life population.<br />

<strong>The</strong> sewage system: this frequently causes<br />

sewerage to flow into people’s homes;<br />

despite considerable expenditure by the<br />

water authorities. <strong>The</strong> current system is<br />

not fit for purpose. Any addition to the<br />

current system would be short sighted and<br />

possibly dangerous to property and life.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Consultation Process<br />

NFDC have arranged two consultation<br />

processes – both include the holiday<br />

months of July and August. <strong>The</strong> suggested<br />

format for responses is, for the responders,<br />

in an unfriendly format that is<br />

cumbersome, repetitive and timeconsuming.<br />

This has inevitably has a chilling effect on<br />

the willingness and patience of responders.<br />

Thank you to Chris Wolford<br />

<strong>The</strong> Parish Council would like to recognise<br />

Milford Cricket Club Chairman Chris<br />

Wolford for his 30 years of service to the<br />

club. As well as organising the club, Chris<br />

spends many hours maintaining the pitch<br />

at Barnes Lane Recreation Ground,<br />

ensuring is mown to perfection for the<br />

regular matches held there. Thank you<br />

Chris!<br />

Newcomers’ Supper<br />

This year’s annual Newcomers’ Supper is<br />

being held on Saturday 13th <strong>Oct</strong>ober at All<br />

Saints’ Church Hall. If you have moved into<br />

the village in the past year, this is a<br />

wonderful opportunity to find out about<br />

the groups, clubs and societies that are<br />

available in the village (over 60 at the last<br />

count!) and to meet some of your new<br />

neighbours. If you would like to come<br />

along to this friendly event (and nearly 100<br />

people do every year), contact Ruth Bufton<br />

on ruth.bufton@btinternet.com or call<br />

SID to arrive in village<br />

<strong>The</strong> Parish Council recently agreed to<br />

purchase a SID (Speed Indicator Device)<br />

which will highlight to drivers their speed.<br />

<strong>The</strong> devices are a<br />

good reminder to<br />

slow down and will<br />

be able to be moved<br />

around the village to<br />

different “problem”<br />

locations. <strong>The</strong><br />

installation of the<br />

device is governed by<br />

strict rules from the<br />

Department of Transport and the<br />

Highways Authority (Hampshire Cunty<br />

Council), but the Parish Council is<br />

investigating options for the device to log<br />

all the speed of traffic in order to develop<br />

a record of areas, that can then be flagged<br />

up to the Highway Authority for attention.<br />

It is hoped the device will be in place in the<br />

coming months. In addition, the County<br />

Council have agreed to replace the flashing<br />

lights near the school with larger more<br />

impactful ones and it is hoped these will<br />

be in situ over the winter. We will keep<br />

you informed of progress in future<br />

editions.<br />

Sea Road toilet refurbishment brought<br />

forward<br />

will see the amount of work that they are<br />

doing on behalf of the Parish Council on<br />

Old Milford Meadow. You may recall the<br />

land was bequeathed to the Parish by the<br />

late Mrs Diana Gillespie, whose wish it was<br />

that the meadow be preserved for the<br />

whole community. Having lain relatively<br />

untouched for several years, the brambles<br />

have made a huge impact and it is this vital<br />

clearance work that the MCV volunteers<br />

have kindly agreed to help with.<br />

<strong>The</strong> planned improvements to the Sea<br />

Road toilets by New Forest District Council<br />

have been brought forward to this<br />

financial year. <strong>The</strong> plan is for the toilet<br />

block to use the same footprint as the<br />

current building but would house four<br />

unisex cubicles, two family cubicles and<br />

one Changing Places disabled unit,<br />

featuring a hoist and changing bed. <strong>The</strong><br />

toilets would be a similar design to other<br />

block in the district (the nearest being at<br />

Keyhaven) and the contract is currently<br />

out to tender, with worked hoped to start<br />

in the New year and be completed by<br />

Easter. A section of the car park will be<br />

cordoned off during the construction<br />

period but as this is a “quiet” time of year,<br />

it is hoped this will not have too<br />

detrimental an impact. We will keep you<br />

informed of progress.<br />

Old Milford Meadow<br />

If you read the update by the Milford<br />

Conservation Volunteers (page 62), you<br />

Once the meadow has been cleared and<br />

the access from the Church improved, it<br />

is hoped that local residents and groups<br />

will be able to use the meadow and<br />

garden area that forms part of it. If you<br />

have an idea of a specific use or a feature<br />

that could be incorporated into the area<br />

(such as sensory area, ideas for seating,<br />

etc) please contact the Parish Office.<br />

Nicola Davies<br />

Is your Discretionary Trust still needed?<br />

Many Wills made before the<br />

introduction of the Transferable Nil<br />

Rate Band in 2007, incorporated a<br />

Discretionary Trust, often using the<br />

family home. This made use of the Nil<br />

Rate Band of the first spouse to die and<br />

therefore saving Inheritance Tax.<br />

Property now held in discretionary<br />

trusts cannot utilise the Residential Nil<br />

Rate Band introduced for Inheritance<br />

Tax last April, which has already<br />

benefited the estates of a number of<br />

our Clients and saved their families<br />

thousands of pounds. However, in<br />

many cases it is only a debt charged on<br />

the property, not the property itself<br />

that is held in the discretionary trust, in<br />

which circumstance the Residential Nil<br />

Rate Band may be available.<br />

If your will hasn't been reviewed in the<br />

last ten years, it may be worth your<br />

while undertaking a review to<br />

appreciate the changes in the<br />

Inheritance Tax allowances, your<br />

circumstances, or those of your family.<br />

<strong>The</strong> law is ever-changing and what was<br />

applicable when you made a Will say<br />

ten years ago it may not now be the<br />

best way to leave your estate. It is<br />

good practice to review your Will to<br />

ensure that it carries out your wishes<br />

and makes the best use of the tax<br />

exemptions available to you and your<br />

estate.<br />

If you would like to speak to us about<br />

your Will or indeed to review the<br />

current provisions please do not<br />

hesitate to contact us at the Lymington<br />

Office on 01590 689500 or at New<br />

In the Garden<br />

with Alan Edmondson of<br />

Bowercot Garden Design<br />

<strong>Oct</strong>ober/<strong>Nov</strong>ember<br />

Gardening Tips<br />

• Rake up fallen leaves regularly. If they have appeared diseased during the summer, do not<br />

compost them.<br />

• Sow sweet peas in pots in a cold frame. Remove the covers when the seedlings appear.<br />

• A newly sown lawn can have the grass height reduced by about a half when it is 2-3 inches<br />

high. Repeat cutting the lawn in 3-4 weeks’ time.<br />

• Apples and pears which are ripe should be picked and handled carefully prior to storage a in<br />

a cool, airy position.<br />

• Plant daffodils in the garden. Good dwarf varieties include ‘Tete a Tete’, ‘February Gold’,<br />

‘Jack Snipe’ and ‘Hawera’.<br />

• A number of shrubs such as Buddleja, Forsythia and Philadelphus can be propagated by<br />

taking hardwood cuttings.<br />

• In the vegetable garden, dig over ground as it becomes vacant.<br />

• Remove dead leaves from ornamental pools and thin oxygenating plants.<br />

• Plant out new roses. You can improve the soil with plenty of humus and by adding some<br />

blood, fish and bone fertilizer to the planting hole.<br />

• If you are buying biennials such as wallflowers and sweet Williams, make sure that they are<br />

bushy, as they will not grow much now before flowering.<br />

• Harvest leeks and cauliflowers. Also lift and store root crops such as carrots, turnips and<br />

swedes.<br />

• Ventilate the greenhouse on sunny days. Give the glass a good wash to let in the maximum<br />

amount of light.<br />

• Tomato crops should be cleared from the greenhouse and not left to stand suffering from<br />

Botrytis (Grey Mould) as the fungus spores will flourish in greenhouse conditions.<br />

• Feed the birds regularly. It is important to ensure that they have a constant supply of water.<br />

Old Milford Meadow - ‘Secret Garden’<br />

If you live near or walk through All Saints’<br />

Churchyard, you cannot have helped noticing<br />

activity in the nearby overgrown meadow<br />

behind the yew hedge.<br />

MCV NEWS<br />

www.milfordcv.org<br />

You may also<br />

recall having<br />

read that the<br />

late Miss<br />

Diana<br />

Gillespie<br />

bequeathed<br />

the southern<br />

part of the land to the Milford community. <strong>The</strong><br />

Parish Council is the new owner of this part,<br />

whilst the larger northern part, off Knowland<br />

Drive/Dacres Walk, is now in the hands of<br />

Christchurch Priory.<br />

Pedestrian access gate to the ‘Secret Garden’<br />

If your community group, nursery or<br />

association wishes to help restore this very old<br />

garden for public use, let Sarah know at the<br />

Parish Office (644410) and you will be<br />

circulated about future work sessions.<br />

‘Every one of us can do a little, but<br />

together we can do a lot’<br />

In early September, both MCV and the New<br />

Forest Area Conservation Volunteers,<br />

commenced the restoration of the meadow,<br />

community orchard and garden. <strong>The</strong> first job<br />

was to clear the gateway to allow a tractor flail<br />

machine to get<br />

in to clear dense<br />

stands of<br />

bramble<br />

throughout the<br />

site and to take<br />

its first proper<br />

hay cut for<br />

many years.<br />

<strong>The</strong> cleared tractor entrance at the five-bar gate<br />

<strong>The</strong> rampant bramble covering the garden area<br />

and surrounding the existing Hinoki Cypress,<br />

Medlar, Hawthorn, Weeping White Mulberry,<br />

Roses and Fruit trees was all cleared away,<br />

leaving work that can now be undertaken by<br />

hand.<br />
