Dear Readers,<br />

Just a quick note from me for this edition, as I’m going to let the pictures do the talking from the<br />

Big Info Day. What an event and a huge thank you goes out to Jenny Whitley who organised the<br />

event, Cynthia and her team, who ran the cafe, and all of the people who donated the cakes, and<br />

Ivan for entertaining people in the cafe with his music.<br />

Please also look out for the article ‘Helping the Lonely ‘ on page 4, and then the marvellous<br />

quotes from Befrienders & Befriendees throughout this magazine, showing what a difference this<br />

service can make.<br />

With best wishes, Jacqui<br />

HELPING THE LONELY<br />

Loneliness is very much in the news at the<br />

moment, we even have a Minister for<br />

Loneliness that’s how serious the situation<br />

has become. It’s not new of course, people<br />

have felt loneliness in its many shapes and<br />

forms since time immemorial so what has<br />

changed?<br />

This is a complex question but we can very<br />

easily cite a number of things that have<br />

actually made loneliness a bigger problem,<br />

particularly among the elderly. A word<br />

familiar to everyone is austerity. Now, this is<br />

not a political article but the cold hard fact is<br />

that the financial means available to our<br />

councils have been cut significantly in recent<br />

years and this has had it’s impact on what<br />

services can be provided. This results in a<br />

huge number of people who may have<br />

qualified for help having to find this<br />

elsewhere, if they can.<br />

Inevitably the voluntary sector has to pick up<br />

some of the slack and make sure that these<br />

important services continue to be provided.<br />

But here’s another problem, there are only<br />

so many people able to give their help and<br />

many small local charities report<br />

considerable difficulties in recruiting the right<br />

people in the numbers they need. Funding<br />

can also be serious issue for charities, it is<br />

interesting to note that a recent study<br />

suggests that 1.2% of all charities get 70% of<br />

the income donated. This is a staggering<br />

number and illustrates how difficult it is for<br />

some groups to continue. Add to this the fact<br />

that austerity also impacts on what people<br />

can give and you can see how serious the<br />

situation has become.<br />

But there is good news! Here in our area we<br />

have a very robust service in the shape of the<br />

Milford Befrienders. <strong>The</strong> service has been<br />

running for over two years and we cover all<br />

areas of the Parish. We have a wonderful<br />

group of volunteers who are each matched<br />

with a lonely person. <strong>The</strong>y call on this person<br />

once a week for a good chat and it makes a<br />

real difference, especially where family and<br />

friends are no longer able to offer support.<br />

But we need more!<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is considerable demand for this service<br />

and we need more volunteers to help meet<br />

this demand. <strong>The</strong>re’s no requirement to have<br />

done a similar thing before, as long as you<br />

like to have a good chat there will be room<br />

for you!<br />

I am very happy to have a chat on the phone<br />

or by email if you would like to find out more<br />

before deciding if it is for you. All of our<br />

current team say how rewarding the work is<br />

with some strong friendships being formed<br />

as a result.<br />

So please, if this strikes a chord get in touch.<br />

Or, do you need help?<br />

If what you have read here sounds familiar<br />

and you find yourself feeling lonely and<br />

isolated then please ask us to help. If you<br />

make an enquiry there’s no obligation to<br />

carry on if you feel it is not for you.<br />

Experience has taught me that it is always<br />

better to find out more about befriending<br />

before deciding. We have helped lots of<br />

people who were not sure in the beginning,<br />

so make the call!<br />

Milford Befrienders can help. We run a<br />

regularly for a chat and a cuppa.<br />

Please carry on reading this magazine &<br />

you will find recent comments from<br />

volunteer Befrienders & the<br />

Befriendees, that show what a huge<br />

difference this service can make.<br />

BRINGING HISTORY HOME<br />

MILFORD HOUSE<br />

Today the original Milford House consists of<br />

three houses with another five properties in<br />

the adjacent out-buildings. In front of it,<br />

Milford Court has twenty-two houses.<br />

In 1905 Milford House was one dwelling with<br />

grounds covering 14.5 acres stretching almost<br />

to Keyhaven Road. Milford Crescent did not<br />

exist until 1929; the main road previously<br />

went up Church Hill in front of the church to<br />

join the Lymington Road.<br />

In the 13 th c. this area was in the Manor of<br />

Milford Baddesley owned by the Knights<br />

Templar.<br />

By 1608 it was owned by Arthur Swaine who<br />

sold the Manor to Robert Rickman but the<br />

house they lived in was not in the same<br />

position as the current Milford House.<br />

William Rickman, a merchant and four times<br />

mayor of Portsmouth between 1736 and 1756,<br />

was born in Milford in 1701.Towards the end<br />

of the 1730s William decided to build a new<br />

house slightly to the north east of the old<br />

building, and this house is the central part of<br />

the current Milford House.<br />

Rickman died in 1764 and the house was<br />

bought in 1770 by William Reynolds, a London<br />

businessman. Some of Reynolds’ wealth came<br />

from the West Indian sugar trade with two<br />

plantations in Montego Bay, Jamaica. William<br />

and his son, Edmund, added the two circular<br />

wings in the late 1700s, and the east wing<br />

contains a beautiful circular staircase in the<br />

style of Robert Adam.<br />

With the sugar trade under threat from the<br />

abolition of slavery in the British Empire,<br />

William Reynolds’ son, William, was in financial<br />

difficulties. He and his wife, Sophia (the sister<br />

of Mrs Whitby of Newlands), left Milford to<br />

live on their remaining Jamaican estate,<br />

Catherine Mount in Montego Bay.<br />

<strong>The</strong> house was bought by Mrs Whitby who<br />

now owned all the Milford Manors -<br />

Baddesley, Barnes and Montagu. Although she<br />

owned Milford House for many years she<br />

never lived there, selling it in 1867 to Mr. W.<br />

Talbot Agar, the first owner to live in the house<br />

for forty years.<br />

Following his death in 1906, his will stipulated<br />

that the house should go to whichever of his<br />

children bid the most for it. It was Edward who<br />

was successful, and he lived there until his<br />

death in 1927. It was then sold for £6,300 to<br />

Mr. Goodman of Camberley. Some of the land<br />

was sold, and the house itself rented to Mr. &<br />

Mrs. George Allan. Allan ran Milford House as<br />

a hotel, eventually buying the freehold in 1936<br />

for £5,400.<br />

A company, Milford House Hotel Ltd., was<br />

formed in 1945, selling the hotel in 1954 to Mr<br />

& Mrs Wells and Miss Cutbill. Following the<br />

death of Mr Wells in 1959 his daughter, Mrs<br />

Herbert, and her husband returned from New<br />

Zealand to help her mother run it as a popular<br />

and successful business.<br />

<strong>The</strong> hotel was sold in 1972 for £158,000 when<br />

David Church [Surrey] Ltd., built the twenty<br />

two houses that are now Milford Court.<br />

Milford House itself and its adjacent buildings<br />

were turned into eight houses with the original<br />

house being 3, 4 and 5 Milford House.<br />

MILFORD MUSIC AND ARTS<br />

FESTIVAL RETURNS FOR<br />

ANOTHER YEAR<br />

A NEW LOOK FOR A NEW<br />

YEAR: MORE MUSIC, MORE<br />

VENUES, MORE HEART<br />

Milford Music and Arts Festival returns to the<br />

gorgeous seaside town of Milford on Sea,<br />

Hampshire, from the 8th –14th July <strong>2019</strong>. With<br />

this year’s theme <strong>The</strong> Summer of Love, pull out<br />

your flares, dust off those glasses and join us for<br />

a week of brilliant entertainment across several<br />

village venues. With an all new bar, more food<br />

stands, more toilets, and a brand-new stage,<br />

this year’s event promises to be bigger and<br />

better than ever before!<br />

Acts topping the bill include Toffees, Misha and<br />

His Merry Men, Rembrandt, and Pioneers.<br />

Milford Music and Arts Festival prides itself on<br />

encouraging local acts to get involved with all<br />

that the festival offers. Previous years’<br />

performances have come from the likes of<br />

Daughters of Davis, Saints of Sin, and local indierockers<br />

<strong>The</strong> Manatees, with a host of other<br />

brilliant upcoming artists also taking to the<br />

stage.<br />

Speaking on the festival, Saints of Sin said; “We<br />

had always heard great things about Milford<br />

Festival and it hasn't disappointed us. <strong>The</strong> last<br />

two times we played were amazing - It's crazy<br />

how much of a buzz a small sea-side town like<br />

Milford can create! <strong>The</strong> stage is brilliant - the<br />

perfect size to accommodate our Rock n Roll<br />

antics. <strong>The</strong> sound is bang on and the audience<br />

are simply epic! Both of our previous<br />

performances at Milford Festival were<br />

absolutely packed and the audience was really<br />

up for the party.”<br />

But as always, the Festival is a celebration of our<br />

<strong>Village</strong>, the local area and our Community, so<br />

we’ve made some changes that we think you’re<br />

going to love. We will continue to run the<br />

Festival in local venues on Monday through to<br />

Wednesday, but the <strong>Village</strong> Green site will run<br />

Thursday to Sunday. However, this year, <strong>The</strong><br />

Green will close from 9pm on Thursday night,<br />

with entertainment moving and continuing in<br />

other local venues.<br />

Milford Festival is run by a small group of<br />

dedicated volunteers. As a not-for-profit<br />

organisation we raise our funds through<br />

advertising, sponsorship, donations and<br />

different fund-raising events throughout the<br />

year. A way to support the continuation of the<br />

festival is by getting involved with the Friends of<br />

<strong>The</strong> Festival scheme. Registering with the<br />

scheme provides loads of exclusive perks,<br />

including discounts at bars, restaurants and<br />

activities across the village. On top of that,<br />

there’s also discount on tickets to our Milford<br />

Festival Presents events throughout the year -<br />

all of which promise a good night of<br />

entertainment and laughter! Coming up is the<br />

Casino Night on <strong>May</strong> 18 th , with DJ Jack Dyson<br />

providing Chicago Funk mixes throughout the<br />

evening. With the theme being the year of 1969,<br />

what will you come dressed as? Tickets are<br />

available from Milford Community Centre Box<br />

Office for £17.50.<br />

Adrian<br />

Grainger<br />

Our cover page Artist<br />

You may have wondered why the herrings<br />

on the front cover are vertical. Not an<br />

error on my part, the title of the painting<br />

explains all - ’Hauling Herring’, depicting<br />

the fish being pulled up in a net.<br />

Adrian is a local artist and has built up a<br />

strong reputation. He has a wonderfully<br />

distinct and vibrant style. You may have<br />

seen a selection of his work in Milford:<br />

La Perla, <strong>The</strong> Marine boutique B&B , or in<br />

Lymington down at the quay in BluBambu.<br />

And , if you venture down to St Ives in<br />

Cornwall, there is a B&B that’s taken its<br />

name from one of Adrian's pictures.<br />

Adrian is a keen birder & enjoys fishing, so<br />

it’s no surprise that his inspiration is<br />

clearly from the sea and our local wildlife,<br />

with fish and birds the main themes of his<br />

work.<br />

Hopefully you have never been in the<br />

situation of having lost your mobile phone,<br />

or worse, had it stolen. Of course you know<br />

what to do if that should happen, right? On<br />

the off-chance you don’t have a disaster<br />

recovery plan already, here’s some things<br />

you should consider.<br />

You will need to track and maybe then<br />

wipe your phone. You have of course got<br />

suitable services activated such as Find my<br />

Phone for iPhone http://tinyurl.com/<br />

y552f7vw (takes you to Apple Support) or<br />

Android http://tinyurl.com/ookxcau (takes<br />

you to the online device manager).<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are other services you can use, such<br />

as the Prey Project https://<br />

preyproject.com/ which allows you to also<br />

add other sorts of devices from other<br />

manufacturers including computers, so you<br />

can keep track of all of them in one place.<br />

HELP, WHERE’S MY PHONE?<br />

answers to any security questions you may<br />

have set up with your mobile service<br />

provider.<br />

You may also be asked for further<br />

information, such as the name and number<br />

of someone you have dialled recently. If<br />

that is the case, and you don’t have<br />

complete recall, you may want to look out<br />

the information before calling them, so you<br />

don’t have to ring off and get back to them.<br />

It would be a good idea to find out from<br />

your service provider what their procedure<br />

is to get a new sim from them. Much better<br />

to know what your particular provider will<br />

want from you beforehand, than find out<br />

that you don’t have the information when<br />

you need it.<br />

So go on, get started sorting it out now!<br />

<strong>The</strong> one thing they all have in common is<br />

that you need to install or activate them<br />

before anything happens to your devices.<br />

So don’t put it off, do something now, it<br />

may be too late after the event!<br />

You’ve got your phone sorted, worst case<br />

you can delete all the data, what else?<br />

Recover your mobile number. Unless you<br />

want to tell all your contacts and the<br />

businesses that use texts for security that<br />

they need to record a new number, you’ll<br />

want to keep your old number. And for<br />

that you need your provider to cancel the<br />

old sim and issue you a new sim with your<br />

old number on it.<br />

To do so, you will undoubtedly have to<br />

jump through a number of hoops to prove<br />

who you are. So make sure you know the<br />

NOTES FROM THE SOLENT CELLAR<br />

Seasons Change……..<br />

Spring is one of our favourite times of<br />

year, with the lighter evenings and new<br />

exciting locally grown produce becoming<br />

more available. Easter is on the horizon<br />

and we look forward to catching up with<br />

friends and family, and this turns our<br />

minds towards what wines we will be<br />

drinking and sharing over the next few<br />

months. Most of our wine choices are<br />

influenced by what we will be cooking or<br />

eating, below is just a snap shot of what<br />

we will be enjoying –<br />

Spring Salads – Gruner Veltliner is a great<br />

alternative to Sauvignon Blanc and<br />

becoming increasingly popular with its<br />

easy drinking style and versatile nature in<br />

terms of food matching. It is a wine that<br />

pairs to Asian flavours and also asparagus<br />

which is notoriously hard to find a wine<br />

match for. <strong>The</strong> white and pink grapefruit<br />

notes in the wine mix with citrus running<br />

through and it finishes with its signature<br />

touch of white pepper.<br />

with its lemon and lime notes plus its<br />

trade mark acidity make for an enjoyable<br />

match, particularly if there is any spice in<br />

the dish. <strong>The</strong> citrus notes in the wine also<br />

act like a squeeze of lemon or lime on the<br />

seafood.<br />

Rhubarb – <strong>The</strong> relatively tart flavour of<br />

rhubarb is often off-set by a nice sweet,<br />

nutty crumble topping. We like to pair this<br />

to a sweet Chenin such as a Coteau du<br />

Layon or Sauternes. <strong>The</strong> sweetness of the<br />

wine calms the acidity of the fruit and<br />

pairs to the crumbly topping nicely!<br />

New wines for spring arriving in the shop<br />

include the latest 2018 rosé vintages,<br />

sparkling Petillant Naturels and some<br />

fantastic Hampshire sparkling wines from<br />

Cottonworth.<br />

Lamb – It’s always a treat to have new<br />

season lamb and it’s nice to pair up the<br />

delicate, sweet, gamey flavours with a nice<br />

red wine. We tend to choose a classic such<br />

as Rioja. When the wine is delicately<br />

oaked the juicy, fresh flavours along with a<br />

touch of vanilla from the barrel ageing<br />

make it an ideal match.<br />

Squid – Dan from Coral Bay seafood on<br />

Lymington market often has squid for sale<br />

at this time of year. It is quick and easy to<br />

cook and is delicious! Young, dry Riesling<br />

Dogs take centre stage at Dogstival<br />

Did you know that, in <strong>The</strong> New Forest, 39%<br />

of residents own a dog? This is way ahead<br />

of the national average of 26% and equates<br />

to about 69,000 forest dogs…. And it's quite<br />

likely that a large percentage of them will<br />

be descending with their owners, on the<br />

2000-acre Pylewell Park Estate near<br />

Lymington on the weekend of the 18th and<br />

19th of <strong>May</strong> for a huge festival devoted<br />

exclusively to them.<br />

It's called "Dogstival" and it's being hosted<br />

by wildlife enthusiast, proud dog owner and<br />

local resident Chris Packam. <strong>The</strong>re are<br />

arena displays, expert talks and<br />

demonstrations, a behavioural stage and<br />

plenty of activities for your dog to actually<br />

take part in too. Added to that we're being<br />

promised live music and children's<br />

entertainment plus 250 stands and<br />

exhibitors. All in all, it's shaping up to be a<br />

major event in the canine calendar.<br />

About hosting the event, Chris said "<strong>The</strong><br />

festival appealed to me because it<br />

combines my favourite things; dogs,<br />

walking in nature, raising funds for causes<br />

that I'm passionate about and spending<br />

time in the New Forest. I'm looking forward<br />

to a great couple of days with fellow doglovers<br />

and their dogs at Dogstival.”<br />

Here at Sophie's Pet Care, we like the<br />

concept of this festival too, because it's not<br />

just the usual commercial gathering of<br />

people selling dog-related products, but<br />

rather it involves and actively encourages<br />

visitor's dog participation throughout both<br />

days. Managing Director Sophie Gates said<br />

"It's rare to be able to gain professional<br />

advice and see demonstrations about how<br />

to solve the typical mental and behavioural<br />

problems that dogs increasingly have at<br />

home — and on a lighter note, I love the<br />

idea of the 'Come and Try Zone' with agility<br />

and recall games and the promised K9 aqua<br />

sports too, but the big one for me is that, at<br />

the very heart of Dogstival, it's all about<br />

animal welfare and responsible dog<br />

ownership in <strong>The</strong> New Forest."<br />

Add a vintage fun fair, views across to the<br />

Isle of Wight, and a packed programme of<br />

arena events, and it really sounds like<br />

something not to be missed. For more<br />

information and tickets, visit<br />

www.dogstival.co.uk If you're a dog-lover,<br />

then you'd be barking mad not to!<br />

TRAVEL guide<br />

Sydney is usually the first stop for travellers<br />

visiting Australia. <strong>The</strong> country’s most populated<br />

city is truly beautiful, with a stunning skyline,<br />

captivating harbour, world class beaches and<br />

top quality museums. It is also very multicultural,<br />

giving it a vibrant and youthful<br />

atmosphere.<br />

It can be very overwhelming for the first-time<br />

visitor to get their head around what to do in<br />

Sydney. With so many iconic and ‘must do’<br />

attractions. Wwhere should one start? This is<br />

where we can help! I was fortunate to have<br />

lived in this beautiful city for just over 3 years<br />

and hope that I may be able to whet your<br />

appetite for the place I once called ‘home’.<br />

With the flying time from London to Sydney<br />

being close to 22 hours it is well worth<br />

considering a stopover in places such as Dubai,<br />

Singapore or Hong Kong. Not only will this<br />

break up the journey but also gradually help<br />

you climatise to the different time zone – all<br />

whilst enjoying a taste of the Middle East or<br />

Asia in the process!<br />

Upon arrival ‘Down Under’, Circular Quay is the<br />

central place to start your Sydney adventure<br />

and get your bearings for the city. This<br />

sensational harbourside location is constantly<br />

buzzing with people who bask in the unrivalled<br />

views of the Sydney Opera House and the<br />

Harbour Bridge. It is also the spot to jump on a<br />

ferry to Manly, North Sydney or Darling<br />

Harbour. Enjoy a coffee, light snack or topnotch<br />

meal in one of the cafes and restaurants<br />

here, whilst enjoying the spectacular views and<br />

Aboriginal music that the buskers play during<br />

the day.<br />

If you’d like to escape the hustle and bustle and<br />

smell the flowers (literally!) <strong>The</strong> Royal Botanical<br />

Gardens are located next to the Sydney Opera<br />

House and accessed via Circular Quay. Here you<br />

can soak up some of the best views of the city<br />

and Sydney Harbour whilst taking a pleasant<br />

walk through the gardens.<br />

Sydney is well known for its stunning beaches<br />

and there’s many, many to visit! <strong>The</strong> most<br />

popular and well-known being Bondi Beach,<br />

which on hot days (and weekends) can attract<br />

thousands and thousands of visitors. Equally as<br />

Discovering Sydney :<br />

An Insiders Guide<br />

impressive but less crowded is Manly. Just a<br />

short ferry journey from Circular Quay, Manly<br />

has an absolutely beautiful setting with clean<br />

yellow sand, towering trees, a fun boardwalk<br />

and amazing cafes and restaurants.<br />

For those after a bit of culture, <strong>The</strong> Rocks<br />

(located right on the harbour and near Circular<br />

Quay) is a superb historic suburb of Sydney.<br />

Once known to be the poor, dirty<br />

neighbourhood for the working class it has<br />

transformed itself to now feature some of the<br />

best bars and restaurants in the country found<br />

inside old, brickwork buildings. Visit <strong>The</strong> Rocks<br />

Discovery Centre, which is housed in a restored<br />

1850s sandstone warehouse and features<br />

exhibits that are really well done making it feel<br />

like you are back in time from pre-European<br />

days right through to today.<br />

Sydney has a wide variety of wonderful food<br />

and restaurants to cater for all tastes from<br />

superb seafood, sushi and dm sum (particularly<br />

in China Town) to middle eastern and western<br />

cuisine. It’s worth noting that Sydneysiders love<br />

their coffee so cafes and bakeries are in<br />

abundance and of exceptional quality.<br />

Australia is a vast country and has an enormous<br />

amount to offer outside the Sydney area, which<br />

here at Milford Travel we would be extremely<br />

happy to discuss with you, from visiting the<br />

spectacular Blue Mountains just outside of<br />

Sydney to the Great Ocean Road in the state of<br />

Victoria, taking in sunset at the famous Uluru<br />

(Ayres Rock) to the numerous wine regions<br />

such as Margaret River in Western Australia<br />

and not forgetting the Whitsunday Islands in<br />

the Great Barrier Reef.<br />

Waste & Recycling<br />

system cannot be improved. But to change<br />

such a system is a multi-million-pound<br />

Waste - and plastic waste in particular -<br />

have been a big topic in the past year or so,<br />

with David Attenborough’s Blue Planet and<br />

other programmes highlighting the terrible<br />

effect plastic has on the environment. I<br />

often get asked ‘Why do we only recycle<br />

certain kinds of plastic in the New<br />

Forest?’ <strong>The</strong> answer is a matter of the<br />

much bigger picture.<br />

District Councils in Hampshire have<br />

diversified their methods of collection over<br />

the years, but fundamentally all Hampshire<br />

waste is disposed of by the county in the<br />

same way. General waste, including less<br />

easily recycled plastics, is incinerated and<br />

acts as fuel, generating energy and very<br />

little going to landfill, compared to other<br />

authorities. Glass, paper and more readily<br />

recycled plastics are sent to recycling<br />

plants in the UK where possible, sometimes<br />

abroad if there is no UK capacity. Districts<br />

offering food waste collection will have<br />

found their own outlets for composting<br />

collected food. You can find out what can<br />

be recycled and the current rationale for<br />

waste disposal and recycling in Hampshire<br />

in greater detail here: https://<br />

www.hants.gov.uk/wasteandrecycling<br />

Collection and disposal of waste in a county<br />

as large as Hampshire is an expensive<br />

operation and much has been invested in<br />

our incinerators, vehicles and systems over<br />

many years. That’s not to say that the<br />

project. <strong>The</strong> Government are currently<br />

developing a Waste Strategy for the UK<br />

and Hampshire is waiting to hear what the<br />

final recommendations will be before<br />

making any large-scale decisions about its<br />

current collection and disposal<br />

systems. But it is likely that we will see<br />

bottle deposit schemes, more emphasis on<br />

reusing than disposal, more pressure on<br />

manufacturers to develop and use<br />

biodegradable materials, and other<br />

significant changes to the way our waste is<br />

managed, in time. You can read about the<br />

Government’s Waste Strategy here: https://<br />

Tales from the Fireside<br />

Over the last few weeks and months there’s been a<br />

lot of negative press regarding wood burners and<br />

open fires. So I’m going to give what really is<br />

happening and what the government is trying to<br />

do. Last summer DEFRA invited the Guild of Master<br />

Sweeps, HETAS and other concerned organizations<br />

to a meeting to discuss the Governments Clean Air<br />

Strategy.<br />

I have taken the relevant points and translated<br />

them into normal English.<br />

Is the government going to ban stoves?<br />

No – there is nothing in the Clean Air Strategy that<br />

makes reference to this. Any appliance already<br />

fitted will be able to continue as normal.<br />

Will the government ban future sales of stoves?<br />

No, however the type of stove for sale may change.<br />

Its most likely they will have to be DEFRA-exempt<br />

appliances. This is good news because it means a<br />

greater choice of fuels (both wood or smokeless) in<br />

any area.<br />

Is the government going to be banning coal?<br />

It’s likely that the sale of bituminous house coal will<br />

be prevented in the future but sales of smokeless<br />

fuel will continue. No final decision has been made.<br />

What about the sales of Logs in net bags?<br />

Again the government has still not made up its<br />

mind. It’s a problem of control. Here at the Guild<br />

we advise NOT to buy logs in net bags as it<br />

generally unseasoned wood and the net holds<br />

water. You can’t burn wet wood.<br />

If domestic stoves cause pollution why would I<br />

want one?<br />

Stoves themselves are not polluting , the way some<br />

people use them is. <strong>The</strong> truth is very few people<br />

are shown how to use the fire properly, so they<br />

rarely burn efficiently until they are either shown<br />

or ask or have the flue/chimney swept. I’m always<br />

very happy to help and give a demonstration on<br />

how best to use you appliance. Remember wood is<br />

sustainable. Also the more trees we plant the<br />

cleaner our air becomes.<br />

My stove is more than 10 years old should I<br />

change it?<br />

If you can afford it then yes. New stoves are very<br />

efficient even the very cheap and nasty ones are<br />

65% efficient. A good one will be more than 80%<br />

efficient.<br />

I have an open fire how efficient is it?<br />

Depending on the fuel type, design of chimney etc.<br />

A rule of thump would be 20% to 30% efficient.<br />

Compared to wood burner/Multi-fuel stove are 9<br />

times more efficient.<br />

Last question - is air pollution getting better or<br />

worse? It may surprise you that all sources of<br />

pollution in the UK has been dropping year on year<br />

for the last 30 years (Source UK/Gov.) , the<br />

exception is nitrogen dioxide which comes mostly<br />

from vehicles.<br />

Parish Council Elections<br />

Elections for new Parish Councillors are<br />

scheduled to take place on 2 nd <strong>May</strong> <strong>2019</strong>.<br />

Nomination papers will be available from<br />

the office or the website from 22nd March<br />

until 3rd <strong>April</strong>. Being a Parish Councillor is<br />

an unpaid but very rewarding role and<br />

you can make a valuable contribution to<br />

your community by becoming a Parish<br />

Councillor.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are four main considerations if you<br />

are thinking about standing for election:<br />

1. Eligibility: If you are over 18, are a<br />

Commonwealth citizen, have lived or<br />

worked in the Parish for more than a<br />

year and are on the electoral roll, you<br />

are likely to be eligible.<br />

2. Time: Meetings are held twice a month<br />

on a Monday evening and you may be<br />

asked to contribute additional time to<br />

attending working groups and for<br />

background reading.<br />

3. Teamwork: Will I be able to accept<br />

democratically arrived at decisions<br />

which may not always align with my<br />

own thinking?<br />

4. Expertise: Having experience in any of<br />

the following areas will be useful:<br />

finance, planning, working with young<br />

people, affordable housing,<br />

environment, conservations, education,<br />

traffic management, previous<br />

experience serving on committees.<br />

Even if you have<br />

no experience in<br />

any of these<br />

things but feel<br />

you have<br />

something to<br />

give to your<br />

community and<br />

our village, this is<br />

just as important<br />

so please put<br />

your name Your Parish Needs You!<br />

forward.<br />

MOS1—Land North of School Lane<br />

Here is the Parish Council’s closing<br />

statement to the Planning Inquiry:<br />

<strong>The</strong> Parish Council represents the whole of<br />

the village – as its elected members.<br />

<strong>The</strong> rationale for the re-designation of this<br />

green belt site has been lost in the mire of<br />

viability:<br />

<strong>The</strong> site is intended for 30 houses<br />

providing 2/3 affordable dwellings and the<br />

remainder low cost homes crucially to<br />

meet local need.<br />

<strong>The</strong> village, as I have said earlier, ‘took it<br />

on the chin’ that it would lose a precious<br />

and beautiful site to help 30 families from<br />

its less privileged population to remain in<br />

the village.<br />

Now we are faced with 42 dwellings – it’s<br />

components hardly touching the locality’s<br />

housing needs.<br />

Public satisfaction with the planning<br />

process is at an all time low locally – we<br />

feel deceived and conned – a developer<br />

and landowner who profess to care about<br />

the housing needs of the locality<br />

apparently ‘needs’ to put 23 executive<br />

houses on a site especially designated for<br />

low cost housing – unbelievable and tragic<br />

as far as the residents are concerned. We<br />

find it extraordinary that our Local<br />

Planning Authority gave no regard to the<br />

planning inspector’s directives for this<br />

site – if only it had then this unhappy<br />

situation would not have arisen.<br />

We are warned that if the 30 limit was to<br />

be re-imposed or if more affordable<br />

housing was imposed on the site<br />

Pennyfarthing may walk away – the<br />

landowner would get nothing and the<br />

village would not get any affordable<br />

housing at this time. It’s tempting to say so<br />

what? Pennyfarthing is not offering to<br />

build the sort of affordable units the<br />

village needs and the Parish Council firmly<br />

believes the village would prefer to wait<br />

than to accept yet more executive houses<br />

on a development which would enable so<br />

few of the people on its Homesearch<br />

register having a chance of a home here.<br />

If the Inspector is minded to allow this<br />

appeal the Parish council will be vigorous<br />

in its pursuit of 70% truly affordable<br />

dwellings on the development and will<br />

push for those to be family rented<br />

accommodation – not just ‘a unit’ which<br />

could be a one bedroom flat – together<br />

with some shared ownership and truly low<br />

cost market houses. <strong>The</strong> provision on a<br />

site of 42 houses of 70% truly affordable<br />

dwellings which meets the local housing<br />

need would help to ameliorate the sense<br />

of betrayal that the village feels – having<br />

let this green belt site go in good faith.<br />

We encourage the Inspector to consider<br />

other issues within policy MoS1, as<br />

suggested by Mr Brown, in coming to his<br />

decision. – NFDC councillors obviously<br />

considered issues other than viability when<br />

coming to their decision to unanimously<br />

refuse the planning application. Please<br />

consider the whole of policy MoS1 – for<br />

example:<br />

<strong>The</strong> Parish Council opposes the location of<br />

the car park. We acknowledge that<br />

Pennyfarthing can win the argument that<br />

they are providing parking for recreational<br />

amenity – but let’s not kid ourselves – it’s<br />

no good as a ‘drop off’. First, few children<br />

are ‘dropped off’: our younger children<br />

are handed to teachers and handed back<br />

to a parent at the end of the day – that<br />

means parking for those not able to walk<br />

to school. <strong>The</strong> older ones who may be<br />

dropped off will find the proposed ‘drop<br />

off’ point too far away and too difficult to<br />

get<br />

into and out of. So – not really of any help<br />

to Manor Road, Knowland Drive, School<br />

Lane or the Lymington Road. This is not<br />

just a local problem and I think the majority<br />

of schools, certainly in this area and I am<br />

sure further afield, have similar<br />

problems. We do not have a solution – but<br />

we cannot pretend that this car park in this<br />

location with its entrance on a bend will do<br />

very much to help the school parking.<br />

<strong>The</strong> expectation was that the car park/drop<br />

off point would be located at the southern<br />

end of the site but of course where it has<br />

been located does help to fit in 42 houses<br />

rather than 30 as does the relocation of the<br />

play park from the housing development<br />

onto the land to be ‘given’ to the Parish<br />

Council. We have been informed by the<br />

school that it is not happy with the<br />

proximity of the houses or the distance of<br />

the ‘drop off’ point from the school.<br />

<strong>The</strong> eastern exit from the site will take cars<br />

logically into Lymore Valley and thence to<br />

the Everton junction via narrow rural lanes<br />

rather than driving through the estate and<br />

then having to turn right onto the B3058.<br />

Lymore Valley residents are very concerned<br />

about this since many of these lanes are<br />

very narrow.<br />

This is not a case of the Parish Council<br />

being against development per se – on the<br />

contrary we would welcome an application<br />

that addresses the needs of our local<br />

people. This application does not address<br />

those needs and we therefore request that<br />

the decision to refuse permission be upheld.<br />

No compromise should be considered on<br />

this site until other options have been<br />

explored.<br />

<strong>The</strong> outcome of the appeal will be reported<br />

in the next edition.<br />

MOS2—Local Plan Review<br />

<strong>The</strong> parish council will represent the village<br />

on the following dates at the planning<br />

Inspector’s Examination of the District<br />

Council’s proposals<br />

• Friday 7 th June (<strong>The</strong> Green Belt)<br />

• Wednesday 3 rd July (Protecting the<br />

Environment)<br />

• Friday 5 th July (SS7 Land north of Manor<br />

Road, Milford-on-Sea)<br />

We will let you know the outcome but in<br />

the meantime keep an eye on Parish<br />

noticeboards and the website for more<br />

details nearer the time.<br />

Thank you to Keith and Dave<br />

<strong>The</strong> Parish Council would like to say thank<br />

you to long-standing contractor Keith<br />

Mitchell for his hard work and dedication<br />

to maintaining parish property over many<br />

years.<br />

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

RSPB – ‘Hope Farm’ Project<br />

This article is the first of two about ‘Re-wilding/<br />

Farmland’ projects. Three-quarters of the UK is<br />

farmland. Farmland birds have fallen between<br />

1970 and the present day by 54%. Turtle Dove<br />

numbers plummeted by 97%, Grey Partridge by<br />

92% and Corn Bunting by 91%.<br />

In 2000, I was privileged to be a founder<br />

member of the RSPB Hope Farm project, a 450<br />

acre arable farm in Knapwell, Cambridgeshire.<br />

<strong>The</strong> project was designed to demonstrate that<br />

farming for wildlife can work and yet still be<br />

profitable. In part, wildlife has declined<br />

because of the removal of hedgerows and<br />

planting crops right up to boundary edges thus,<br />

removing the last areas for wild flowers and<br />

insects to flourish.<br />

<strong>The</strong> RSPB purchased Hope Farm to research and<br />

demonstrate management techniques which<br />

could be followed by other farmers. Nearly<br />

twenty years later the experimental farming<br />

project has realised many key aspirations.<br />

Skylark: 2010 - 10 territories. 2015 - 43.<br />

<strong>The</strong> increase is put down to the use of Skylark<br />

plots i.e. land left free of crops to create safe<br />

areas where birds could breed.<br />

Yellowhammer: 2010 - 14 territories, 2015 - 35<br />

territories. 2000/01 - peak winter count - 2.<br />

2015/16 - 723<br />

Turtle Dove: Since 1995 numbers have dropped<br />

by 94%.<br />

Owing to<br />

loss of<br />

habitat e.g.<br />

hedgerows,<br />

scrub and<br />

woodland,<br />

crucial in<br />

providing<br />

nesting<br />

sites. Low<br />

open<br />

Turtle Dove<br />

vegetation<br />

with an abundance of weed seeds is also<br />

required as is fresh water to drink.<br />

England’s ‘Farmland Bird Index’ (FBI) has<br />

dropped by around 10% since 2000. Hope<br />

Farm’s increased in 2015 by 174% from 2000<br />

levels.<br />

Winter Bird Counts: In 2000 the maximum<br />

winter count was 308. In 2015, it had increased<br />

to 2,542.<br />

<strong>The</strong> three essential ingredients to increasing<br />

farmland birds:<br />

• Safe nesting places<br />

• Food in spring/summer for growing chicks and<br />

• Food and shelter over the winter.<br />

Marbled White butterfly<br />

Butterflies: 2015 - Numbers up by 223% from<br />

2000 levels. <strong>The</strong> increase is put down to more<br />

wild flowers along the edges of fields that<br />

provide both food and plants that provide egglaying<br />

niches for the butterflies.<br />

Bumblebees: <strong>The</strong> farm has three times as many<br />

bumblebees as a nearby farm which doesn’t<br />

have so many wild flowers.<br />

Conclusion: <strong>The</strong> RSPB farming experiment tells<br />

us that not only can a lot be done for wildlife<br />

but the farm can also remain viable.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re’s ‘Hope’ yet.<br />

Kerry Richardson<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are more than 6 million cohabiting<br />

couples in the UK and the number is rising.<br />

According to Office for National Statistics (ONS)<br />

figures, one in eight people aged 16 and over in<br />

England and Wales are currently living together,<br />

a number that's risen for the past 15 years in a<br />

row.<br />

If you are co-habiting, you do not have the<br />

same rights as a married couple; and contrary<br />

to popular belief, there is no such thing as a<br />

‘common-law marriage’.<br />

However, despite how common an occurrence<br />

it now is, problems can arise frequently for<br />

these couples upon death or separation. <strong>The</strong>se<br />

can include:-<br />

- If one cohabiting partner dies without<br />

leaving a will, the surviving partner will not<br />

automatically inherit anything owned<br />

solely by their partner. Cohabiting partners<br />

are not recognised under the Intestacy<br />

rules which are statutory instrument that<br />

governs the situation of someone dying<br />

without a Will. <strong>The</strong>refore although it may<br />

have been the Deceased partners wish for<br />

them to inherit, without a Will, it would<br />

actually be inherited by the family of the<br />

Deceased.<br />

- Cohabiting partners cannot access their<br />

partner's bank account if they die.<br />

- Cohabiting partners receive none of the<br />

tax reliefs and exemptions that spouses<br />

and civil partners enjoy, including<br />

pensions.<br />

- An unmarried mother is automatically the<br />

sole guardian of a child born outside of<br />

marriage and has sole custody, that is not<br />

always the case with unmarried fathers<br />

and problems may arise if there is no Will<br />

dealing with the issue of guardianship.<br />

Cohabiting Couples<br />

- If you are the unmarried partner of a<br />

tenant, you have no rights to stay in the<br />

accommodation if you are asked to leave.<br />

- If you jointly own a property registered at<br />

the Land Registry you are entitled to your<br />

share. However, if your partner is reluctant<br />

to sell the property, you may be obliged to<br />

obtain a court order to sell it.<br />

- If you separate there is no obligation to<br />

support each other financially. An<br />

unmarried partner who stays at home to<br />

care for children cannot make any claims in<br />

their own right for property, maintenance<br />

or pension-sharing<br />

- If when you bought the property you put<br />

in differing amounts of deposit this may<br />

not be reflected in the ownership<br />

registered with the Land Registry and a<br />

Declaration of Trust should be considered.<br />

A Declaration of Trust, also known as a<br />

Deed of Trust, is a legally-binding<br />

document that records the financial<br />

arrangements between joint owners of a<br />

property, and/or anyone else who has a<br />

financial interest in the property.<br />

What can Heppenstalls do to help?<br />

- Will preparation settling the property and<br />

also dealing with Guardianship issues<br />

- Wills made in contemplation of Marriage<br />

- Prenuptial agreements<br />

- Cohabitation agreements<br />

- Declarations of Trust<br />

In the Garden<br />

with Alan Edmondson of<br />

Bowercot Garden Design<br />

<strong>April</strong>/<strong>May</strong><br />

Gardening Tips<br />

• Plant new containerised roses and keep well watered if the weather is dry.<br />

• Dormant dahlia tubers can be planted out towards the end of the month.<br />

• Beware of buying half-hardy annuals too early. We can still have frosty nights.<br />

• Clean up marginal plants in the pond early in the month.<br />

• Earth up early potatoes when stems are about eight inches tall and repeat about<br />

three weeks later. Maincrop potatoes should be planted by the end of the month.<br />

• If frost is forecast protect blossom on fruit trees and bushes with fleece.<br />

• Alpines should be flowering well. After flowering trim plants such as aubretias and<br />

mossy saxifrages to promote fresh, compact growth.<br />

• After heavy rain apply a two inch mulch between shrubs and border plants to<br />

conserve moisture.<br />

• Remove dead leaves from plants of Cordyline australis. Pull them off starting with the<br />

bottom ones.<br />

• Erect a screen of fleece eighteen inches high, around rows of young carrots to protect<br />

them from carrot root fly.<br />

• Prepare well manured planting holes for marrows, pumpkins or courgettes. Buy in<br />

young plants and plant out later in the month.<br />

• Pot up and keep a few plants of African marigold in the greenhouse with tomatoes –<br />

they will act as a deterrent to whitefly infestation.<br />
