Dear Readers,
We have the Summer Fair coming up &
you’ll find more details within this
magazine. Last year’s event was amazing
and from that high base with your help, lets
make it even better!
If you get confused like me on what you
can & can not recycle - please see page 4
for guidance from New Forest Transition
Group.
Continuing with this environmental theme,
Wildlife Matters this month sets some
garden challenges. In addition, David Horne
on page 13, looks at the work that is being
actioned to try and protect terns in our
area. There is also the return of the Repair
Café at the Pavilion in September.
We have Lesley from Beach Hut ‘n Boats to
thank for our cover page - please see the
article on page 17 to discover more of her
work.
I hope you enjoy reading.
All the best,
Jacqui

The
GREEN
CORNER
Rumour has it that many of
you have been asking
about local recycling
facilities because there is
some understandable
confusion about what to
recycle. As a long standing
environmental group we will address this first,
but we do have many other exciting projects to
share with you also, including Abundance
Lymington, Jean Genie, Boomerang Bags and our
own 2020 Vision.
RECYCLING
Try and find brands and shops that have reduced packaging and re-use or up-cycle what you can.
After this point look to recycle as much as possible
NFDC Clear Sacs*
Paper and Card, Tins, cans and aerosols, All plastic bottles (no lids)
* It’s worth noticing this DOES NOT include tetrapaks, bottle tops, cellophane wrappings or
plastic pots, tubs and trays. If you include any of these items in the recycling bag it is highly likely
that the whole bag will be treated the same as a black sack. So, if in doubt, leave it out.
Below is a list of items (not collected by NFDC) and where you can recycle them:

LYMINGTON
GETS READY FOR A
WEEKEND OF
SEAFOOD DELIGHTS
The annual Lymington Seafood Festival is
gearing up for a weekend of gastronomic
delights with over 90 local artisan producers,
live music and some of the region’s top chefs in
the demonstration kitchen. With its stunning
Solent backdrop, Bath Road Park hosts the free
two-day festival which takes place on Saturday
10 th and Sunday 11 th August and this year they

perhaps a glass or two of Exton Park’s award
winning English sparkling wine? The Portsmouth
Distillery Company will be unveiling their newly
crafted local rums and Ringwood Brewery on
hand for all ale lovers.
The demonstration kitchen will once again be
led by ‘God Father of Seafood’, Chef Patron Alex
Aitken from the Jetty in Christchurch. He’ll be
will be joined by a dazzling line-up of talented
chefs including Matthew Whitfield who has
recently taken up the reins at the Montagu
Arms, Luke Matthews from Chewton Glen and
Gordleton Mill’s head chef, Ian Gibbs. The
festival also welcomes back 2016 Masterchef
winner Jane Devonshire.
With over 150 different dishes including lobster
mac n’cheese, scallops, cockle popcorn, soft
shell crab, shrimp burgers, mackerel, gurnard
and oysters…..there’s no chance of leaving
hungry! With live music across the weekend
including soul, blues, rag-time, pop and rock
classics to get the crowds up dancing. All set to
magnificent views across the Solent estuary the
weekend is becoming one of the south coast’s
leading festival for foodies.
Gate open 11am – 8pm Saturday and 11am –
6pm Sunday. Parking is available at Woodside
Park, about 15-20mins walk to Bath Road and is

In this issue, MCV member, David Horne
writes about our local Terns.
Anyone walking the seawall between
Lymington & Keyhaven in early summer is likely
to encounter terns.
These delightful, slender silver grey and white
birds have long tails which have earned them
the nickname “sea-swallow”. They frequently
hover over water before plunging down for
fish.
Here in the Western Solent, we are fortunate
to have three species of tern breeding mainly
on small offshore shingle ridge islands known
as “cheniers”.
HELPING
OUR TERNS
However, all is not well. Our locally breeding
seabirds face increasing threats from a number
of factors:
• Rising sea levels periodically flooding their
breeding islands
• Higher water temperatures affecting food
type & abundance
• Increased disturbance from expanding
recreational activities and
• Ongoing predation, even on the islands, from
foxes & large gulls
The three species are; Sandwich tern, identified
by its relatively large size and yellow tipped
black bill. The Common tern by its medium size
and mainly red bill and the Little tern by its
diminutive size and yellow bill. Until recently a
fourth species, Roseate tern, bred locally in
small numbers.
Chris Cooke with his donated Tern Craft
Roseate Tern – tail streamers project well past
wingtips when the bird is at rest
This year I was recruited by the RSPB as the
Summer Tern Warden. The post is funded
under the Roseate Tern LIFE Recovery Project
by the European Union and aims to create the
right conditions to allow the species to return
and breed in the Solent.
Significant amounts of money and effort have
been expended over the last 3 years in an
attempt to provide more secure breeding areas
e.g.
1. Floating shingle covered rafts
2. Concrete shingle covered
platforms on Lymington
breakwater
3. Shingle recharge on small eroding
islands and
4. Maintenance of electric fencing
around Normandy Lagoon.
The aim being to give the terns a fighting
chance to successfully rear their young and in
so doing protect the species for generations to
come.

The Dog Friendly Detective
Did you know that about a quarter of the
British population own dogs? (the figure
according to a recent poll is actually 24%
or about 8.9 million dogs). If you're one of
those, then you'll know that it's fun to try
to integrate your dog into your lifestyle, as
opposed to leaving them out; in effect
then, trying to make them one of the
family.
Up until recently, this has been no easy
task. The majority of places have made no
provision at all for allowing dogs to
accompany you, and so, invariably, you
have had to leave them at home. They're
not happy about that, looking up at you
with their sad "oh no, not again" eyes as
you close the front door. And you probably
haven't felt too good about it either. Well,
the good news is, it's all starting to change
out there, and dogs are at last - not just
being tolerated in public places like pubs,
hotels and at local attractions - but actively
being encouraged. The trouble is, how do
you identify which ones these are? You
can't just turn up with your hairy hound in
tow and hope for the best, can you? Not to
worry; for readers of this magazine, help is
at hand...

Our Cover page Designer
Lesley De Gruchy
My heart sunk at the beginning of the year
when I went to visit Lesley at Beach Hut ‘n
Boats to find an empty shop. A sigh of
relief shortly followed when I saw the note
- “We have moved!’
For those of you who haven’t discovered
Lesley’s shop, you are missing a treat. The
colours alone that meet you are sure to
brighten any day. It’s a place that just
makes you smile.
I met up with Lesley to find out more
about her designs.
What is your best selling product?
I am asked this so often. It’s hard to say, as
most of my products believe it or not, have
a season. However, tea towels are always
a very popular and useful item that sells all
year round
How did you first start your business?
I originally started selling at my local
farmers and craft market in Jersey, in
2007. My work became more and more
popular and by 2009 I realised I had turned
my craft into a part time business. It was
2010 when I finally plucked up the courage
to take my business live.
Have you made any bespoke
commissions?
Yes, all the time. I am constantly asked to
design or make items for boats, camper
vans, as well as items for the home.
What are the most
the unusual things
you have made?
I guess boat
cushions, as they
are all very
different in shapes
and sizes. However,
I love to design where I can. For example
my peg bag is the shape of half a boat that
can be worn as a bag or fixed directly to
the washing line.
So have you won many awards and what
were they for?
Yes, I have been very lucky to have won 3
awards over the years. It’s tough, as there
is a lot of excellent competition out
there. The awards given were for ‘Useable
Design’ these were for the boat peg bag I
just mentioned, Cushi cube, door stops,
lavender bag, pot mitt amongst other
items. I continue to design pieces for the
shop. I love thinking outside the box.

WILDLIFE MATTERS ……... to all of us
WILDLIFE GARDEN CHALLENGE
Gardening with wildlife in mind is easy and lends
itself perfectly to busy or lazy gardeners like me!
If you want a pristine garden with no weeds, a
neatly manicured lawn and lots of back breaking
work, then this challenge is definitely not for
you! However, if you don’t mind a scruffy bit of
garden that is unbelievably good for wildlife,
then I shall show you just what you need to do.
1.The ‘Lazy Gardener’ Challenge: Our collective
and greatest challenge to help bring wildlife
back to our gardens is to do little or even less
than that! Weeding and tidying are not on my
gardening agenda, so take a rest and let your
garden ‘go wild’!
2. Lawn Challenge: Don’t mow your lawns as
often or, preferably, consider simply cutting a
meandering grass pathway through it and see
the wildflowers thrive. You won’t be surprised
at how quickly they grow but I think you will be
pleasantly surprised at the variety of colour and
this will attract pollinators (bumblebees) back to
your garden.
3. Hedgehog Tunnel Challenge:
When did you last see or hear a live hedgehog
roaming your garden? He/she could be merrily
munching away on all those slugs for which we
have all, at some time or another, been guilty of
putting down pellets so harmful to our wildlife.
So no pellets, no upturned jam jars and no steep
-sided ponds for our hedgehogs to fall into and
drown.
Speak to your neighbour and ask if they mind
you putting a hole in the bottom of your
adjoining fences to allow hedgehogs to roam
along these wildlife corridors. Indeed, ask your
neighbour to speak to their neighbour on the
other side to see if they would do the same.
How many consecutive gardens can you link
together to create your wildlife corridor?
4. Swift Box Challenge: With the decline of
many aerial summer birds, why not attach a
Swift Box under the eaves of your property? For
just £15, MCV will supply you with a suitable
wooden swift box that you simply need to
mount on your wall. The most impressive thing
about Swifts is that they do not defecate as they
leave their nest boxes, unlike House Martins
which do leave rather a mess!
My final challenge is:
5. The Nettle Challenge: I can already hear you
say, ‘oh no, not nettles in my garden!’ Well, you
will be surprised when I tell you that over 40
species of bugs that love a nettle patch. Don’t
relegate it to a shady corner. Find a bright sunny
position where they will provide early spring
food for ladybirds. In late summer the nettles
will develop large quantities of seed for House
Sparrows, Chaffinch and, if you’re lucky, the
beautifully colourful Bullfinch. Small
Tortoiseshell and Peacock butterflies and Small
Magpie and Mother of Pearl moths are also
likely to be attracted.
If you can’t bring yourself to take up all five
challenges, try one or two and know that you
have done your bit for wildlife.

NOTES FROM THE SOLENT CELLAR
Discovering wines from the Roussillon region
Tucked away in the south/west corner of
France, the Languedoc-Roussillon is one of
the largest wine regions in the World. This
large production does create some
challenges for the area because consumers
find the diversity and range of styles being
produced a bit confusing. When you think
about Burgundy, you immediately think
about Pinot Noir for reds, and Chardonnay
for whites. However, in the Languedoc-
Roussillon dozens of different varieties can
be used and are often blended together,
none of which clearly define the region.
the Spanish
border around
the village of
Trouillas. Their
wines are
regarded by
Jancis Robinson
to be some of
the best in the
region and we
highly
recommend you
trying them too!
The best way to understand this region is to
split it down into appellations or smaller
areas. One of our favourites is the
Roussillon. This region offers richly
flavoured wines from small producers
making artisan wines of excellent quality
that are also great value.
Domaine Treloar is one of the smaller,
highly regarded producers of this region.
Englishman Jonathan Hesford and his Kiwi
wife Rachel purchased 10 hectares of old
vines 13 years ago after relocating to the
region from New Zealand where Jonathan
was winemaker at Neudorf. Prior to this the
couple lived in New York when 9/11
happened and this is what spurred them on
to make their dream of owning their own
vineyard a reality. The vines are located an
hour from the Pyrenees and an hour from
There's the
fresh, dry and aromatic Jonathan & Rachel
‘One Block’ Muscat is great with salads and
fresh seafood. 'Terre Promise' is a blend of
Macabeu, Grenache Gris and Carignan
Blanc, it has a lovely texture on the palate
and would partner roast chicken really well!
The popular ‘Three Peaks’ is made from
Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre and shows off
the unique terroir of the region, and the
‘One Block’ Grenache is a great example of
this single grape variety. Both reds pair
perfectly to BBQ meats at this time of year.
The wines from Domaine Treloar show off
the exciting potential of the wines from the
Roussillon region which are far removed
from the bulk wines produced by the
cooperatives that the region is known for.
For us, these are the wines you should
expect to find in an independent wine
shop, made in small amounts, offering a
connection to the vineyards where the
grapes are grown and that have a unique
story about the people who carefully
produce the wines.

Hordle Gardening Club – High Summer?
Yes, it’s officially ‘high summer’! If you were new
to gardening last year you had a heatwave and
watering to deal with. This year, after a mild
winter, we had a short heatwave in mid-April
(remember that?) and since then we’ve been
waiting for summer. It seems that shrubs and
perennials are doing alright, but annuals and
some vegetables have been struggling with the
north winds and cold days and nights we had in
May and the beginning of June. Nature being
what it is, it usually sorts itself out in the end.
Did you know that pregnant ponies in the forest
will delay the birth of their foals if the weather is
too cold. This is why you may suddenly notice
lots of foals appearing at the same time.
Similarly honey bees don’t come out of their
hives until the temperature is above 13°C (55°F).
Bumble bees and others come out of their nests
at lower temperatures.
Show competition. We will be pitting our flowers
and vegetables against each other – we even
have classes for cakes and preserves, which are
not just for the ladies! It’s all good fun.
Hordle Gardening Club will be taking a couple of
stalls at the Hordle Summer Fair on Saturday
31 st August. One of the stalls will be selling
plants from our members’ gardens, and the
second stall is for children to create a ‘garden in
a tray’ – an opportunity for them to be creative.
They can then take it home or leave it to be
judged (and take it home later).
Please see below for details of our meetings and
check the diary page in this magazine for
upcoming dates and subjects.
We hope to see you soon!
In my last article I said I was planning on growing
vegetables this year. I don’t have a greenhouse,
so have had seeds on windowsills or in my west
facing conservatory, they have mostly
germinated well, but when the temperatures
dipped the seedlings did struggle a bit. I also
bought some seedlings from our own Club plant
sale table which we have at every meeting.
Everything now seems to be growing well –
herbs, rainbow chard, beetroot, bulb fennel,
tomatoes and courgettes are all producing – my
dwarf French beans - apparently rather sensitive
little things, are only just recovering from those
cold temperatures I mentioned earlier. I’m
learning!
Recent Club meetings have been inspiring.
Derek Dexter’s talk on Fuchsia’s gave us lots of
ideas about growing these lovely plants, and
Sandie Worth on propagating plants using
cuttings, certainly encouraged us to have a go. In
July some of the members have opened their
gardens to other members – purely because we
gardeners like to share. It’s lovely to see the
variety of different types and sizes of gardens
and of course the plants within them.
Our next meeting is our members’ only Closed

THE COUNTRY PARKS
OF
HAMPSHIRE:
How many have you visited?
Something you may not know about
Hampshire County Council is that it
owns a number of beautiful country
parks and visitor farms and exciting
children’s outdoor activity centres,
open to the public. The council has
worked hard over the past few years to
develop and improve these assets,
transforming how they are run, and, in
so doing, has succeeded in making
them self-funding.
Lepe Country Park in Exbury is the
nearest park for those living south of
the New Forest. The ‘Lepe Loop’
provides a picturesque walking route
for visitors who can then enjoy lunch
or a coffee in the stylishly designed
new cafe building. The Lookout café
was recently rebuilt on ‘stilts’ to
protect it from future rising sea levels
or storm events. Over the summer
months there are various planned live
theatre and music events and
children’s holiday activities.
A little further at Bursledon is Manor
Farm, a working visitor farm with
animal fields, hatchery, milking stall,
Victorian school room, deer hide,
wildlife meadow, pond, play area and
café, amongst many other interesting
traditional rural experiences for
children and families – or indeed for
anyone! As a bonus, the picturesque
River Hamble Country Park is right next
door, for you to enjoy on the same day
if you wish. You can also book a BBQ
party on site!
I have made it a goal to visit all
Hampshire County Council’s country
parks this year. If you are looking for
things to do or places to visit during
the summer months, why not plan to
visit some of them yourself and get to
know the spectacular wider county of
Hampshire a little better. Full details on
the link below or phone 0300 555 1375
