FOLLOWING THE LYMINGTON BLUE PLAQUES TRAIL<br />
In this regular series, Ray Mayes follows the<br />
Lymington Blue Plaques Trail. In each issue of<br />
The Lymington Directory, Ray enhances the<br />
detail provided in the Trail leaflet. This month<br />
he tells the story of how the National School<br />
developed into the St Barbe Museum.<br />
.<br />
5. St. Barbe Museum<br />
and Art Gallery<br />
(New Street)<br />
During the 1990’s, various moves were made to<br />
establish a Lymington district museum. The<br />
Lymington and District Historical Society,<br />
originally formed in 1951, held several<br />
exhibitions on various aspect of Lymington<br />
history. However, a permanent base was<br />
needed for a growing archive. After remaining<br />
unoccupied for some time, the redundant<br />
school building was finally converted to become<br />
the home of the St. Barbe Museum in 1995.<br />
4<br />
The St Barbe Museum and Art Gallery and the<br />
nearby Lymington Centre (formerly known as<br />
the Community Centre) have been redeveloped<br />
or improved in recent years to meet an<br />
increasing interest in Lymington’s historic and<br />
maritime heritage and the provision of<br />
educational programmes. The St Barbe<br />
Museum is situated within a former Victorian<br />
schoolhouse.<br />
New Street, the turning off the High Street in<br />
Lymington, has become the cultural centre of<br />
the town.<br />
In 1834, Mrs Anne St Barbe (the widow of<br />
Lymington banker Samuel St Barbe) gave £220<br />
to buy land for a school for the poor children of<br />
Lymington. The National School, opened in<br />
January 1836, was one of the earliest schools in<br />
the country administered by the National<br />
Society for Promoting the Education of the Poor<br />
in the Principles of the Established Church.<br />
Above the north-facing window (overlooking<br />
the modern-day car park in School Lane), a<br />
stone lintel bears the following inscription:<br />
Mrs Anne St Barbe widow of Samuel St Barbe<br />
Esqr. of Ridgway in this parish during her<br />
lifetime gave the site, and enclosed it, built the<br />
dwelling-houses and contributed largely to the<br />
erection of the school rooms.<br />
The original school building now forms the<br />
central section of the façade in School Lane. In<br />
New Street, the modern serpentine entrance is<br />
inspired by the various ‘crinkle-crankle’ walls<br />
seen around the locality.<br />
Many generations of local children attended the<br />
school until it closed in 1991.<br />
The St Barbe Museum and Art Gallery steadily<br />
acquired its reputation primarily based on the<br />
quality of its exhibitions and art gallery. The<br />
museum explores the unique history of<br />
Lymington and the New Forest Coast – the salt<br />
industry, smuggling, boatbuilding, sailing and<br />
the rural life of its hinterland of surrounding<br />
villages and large estates.<br />
After closing for a year in autumn 2016, the<br />
Museum re-opened with much acclaim,<br />
displaying its archive and artifacts with state of<br />
the art presentation. The art galleries continue<br />
to host regularly changing exhibitions, often<br />
including works on loan from national and<br />
regional collections.<br />
On 28 <strong>Sept</strong>ember 2017, HRH Earl of Wessex<br />
formally opened the newly renovated Museum.<br />
It has proudly become one of the finest<br />
museums and art galleries in the region.<br />
The Lymington Blue Plaques Trail comprises 13 blue<br />
plaques established since 1998 by the Rotary Club of<br />
Lymington at sites of historical interest, highlighting<br />
important facts about buildings and people. To<br />
promote the plaques, the Rotary Club has produced a<br />
leaflet describing the Trail. The full trail leaflet is<br />
available from the St. Barbe Museum and Art Gallery.<br />
or from the Rotary Club.<br />

The<br />
GREEN<br />
CORNER<br />
RECYCLING<br />
Try and find brands and shops that have reduced packaging and re-use or up-cycle what you can.<br />
After this point look to recycle as much as possible<br />
NFDC Clear Sacs*<br />
Paper and Card, Tins, cans and aerosols, All plastic bottles (no lids)<br />
* It’s worth noticing this DOES NOT include tetrapaks, bottle tops, cellophane wrappings or<br />
plastic pots, tubs and trays. If you include any of these items in the recycling bag it is highly likely<br />
that the whole bag will be treated the same as a black sack. So, if in doubt, leave it out.<br />
Below is a list of items (not collected by NFDC) and where you can recycle them:<br />
Batteries :<br />
Supermarkets entrance/exit<br />
Biscuit Wrappers: White Hart & Borough Arms, Lymington<br />
Clothes and Shoes: Charity shops or Charity bins in Car Parks<br />
Crisp Packets: White Hart & Borough Arms, Lymington<br />
Glass Bottles: Waitrose Car Park, Lymington<br />
Hearing Aids: Help the Aged, Lymington<br />
Milk Bottle Tops: New Forest Mencap, Bin in car park of Nedderman Centre, N. Milton<br />
Mobile Phones: Dog Trust Charity Shop or Oxfam, Lymington High Street<br />
Small ink Cartridges: Lymington Community Centre or 9 th Lymington Sea Scouts<br />

Specsavers or Boots<br />
Tassimo T-discs: Pennington drop off (email Sarah events@newforesttransition.org.uk)<br />
Toothpaste tubes &<br />
Toothbrushes: Smiles Dentist & Borough Arms, Lymington<br />
If you have children, check out which items their school collects.<br />
Rumour has it that many of<br />
you have been asking<br />
about local recycling<br />
facilities because there is<br />
some understandable<br />
confusion about what to<br />
recycle. As a long standing<br />
environmental group we will address this first,<br />
but we do have many other exciting projects to<br />
share with you also, including Abundance<br />
Lymington, Jean Genie, Repair Café, Boomerang<br />
Bags and our own 2020 Vision.<br />
GOOD IDEA<br />
Why not get together as a group of friends to collect these items so that just one<br />
person needs to go to the drop off point.<br />
Happy Recycling<br />

We’ve listed a few things that you can<br />
donate and recycle through charity shops.<br />
Here is some more detail<br />
and background from Judi<br />
the Lymington shop<br />
Manager in Lymington.<br />
Inspired by the Lymington<br />
Carnival - how can Oxfam<br />
help you “Save our Planet” and how you<br />
can help Oxfam “Save our Planet.”<br />
Oxfam can help you:<br />
• Recycle your clothes, shoes & bras: even if<br />
they are not saleable we will work to ensure<br />
they are reused in some way and avoid<br />
sending them to landfill.<br />
• Rehome your homewares, toys & books: as<br />
well as selling them in our shops, we work<br />
with a third party to find homes overseas for<br />
items that have lost their appeal with the UK<br />
market.<br />
• Mobile phones, ipods, gadgets: working with<br />
a third party who specialise in the reuse and<br />
recycling of mobile phones, providing a<br />
simple yet comprehensively managed<br />
solution for the disposal of new, end-of-line,<br />
surplus or used mobile phones.<br />
• New life for your bling: we carefully value<br />
jewellery, seeking expert advice where<br />
necessary, items that are not saleable are<br />
used by our shop in the Isle of Wight to<br />
create new pieces of jewellery<br />
• Volunteering in the shop can be a very<br />
rewarding experience: it’s a great way to<br />
develop new skills, meet people and engage<br />
with the local community<br />
• Specialist shops: in Southampton we have<br />
dedicated furniture and bridal shops for<br />
those setting up home &/or starting a new<br />
partnership!<br />
The average lifespan for an item of clothing in<br />
the UK is 2.2 years. Consumers send a<br />
whopping 300,000 tonnes of used clothing to<br />
landfill every year in the UK –that’s almost<br />
the same weight as the Empire State Building.<br />
What’s more, the textile industry accounts<br />
for 8% of the world’s greenhouse gas<br />
emissions –that’s more than international<br />
aviation and shipping combined.<br />
You can help Oxfam:<br />
• Donate your clothes, books, toys,<br />
homewares, accessories, jewellery, DVDs,<br />
Vinyl, mobile phones: these will all be used<br />
to generate funds for Oxfam’s work<br />
worldwide, including in the UK.<br />
• Shop second-hand: a dress could raise<br />
enough money to buy drought-resistant<br />
seeds for a family to keep growing food<br />
despite a changing climate.<br />
• Volunteer: making it possible to open our<br />
shops, fill them with great stock and raise<br />
much needed funds for our work<br />
• Spread the word: campaign with Oxfam<br />
• Get involved with upcycling: could you turn<br />
fabric into bags for our purchasers?<br />

our website Oxfam.org.uk, search online for<br />

GET SET FOR THE SUMMER HOLIDAYS!<br />
Whether it’s staycation or vacation for you this<br />
year, we’ve got stacks of essentials at The Hub<br />
to ensure you have a happy, healthy summer<br />
holiday. From chemical-free suncare products<br />
to supplements and sprays to beat mozzies to…<br />
water bottles with an extra bonus.<br />
Natural suncare products<br />
Tropic suncream is plant-based rather than<br />
packed with chemicals. From illawara plum<br />
extract and kahai oil (high in omega 6 to retain<br />
skin’s natural moisture and help condition and<br />
soften it) to roucou oil (100 times richer in<br />
betacarotene than carrots, so it provides UV<br />
protection and stimulates melanin production<br />
to help skin respond faster to UV rays).<br />
they hydrate and nourish nails at the same time<br />
as looking fantastic. This year’s hot colours<br />
include a baby blue and soft pink, subtle greys,<br />
as well as all-time favourite corals and reds.<br />
Homeopathic<br />
holiday kits<br />
Suitcase like a<br />
medicine cabinet?!<br />
Here’s the perfect<br />
answer:<br />
homeopathic<br />
holiday kits. They<br />
look like a purse,<br />
so they tuck into<br />
luggage or<br />
handbag, and<br />
contain 14<br />
homeopathic remedies in tablet form covering<br />
just about all holiday eventualities for the<br />
family – from sunburn, to sickness and<br />
diarrhoea, to food poisoning, to bites, cuts,<br />
scrapes and bruises… even hangovers!<br />
BeWater bottles<br />
These are a favourite at The Hub: glass water<br />
bottles with crystal infills. As well as staying<br />
hydrated, you get the healing energy of the<br />
gem stone infused through your water,<br />
changing and improving its structure and<br />
oxygen and pH levels. Select your gem –<br />
perhaps to give you more vitality, to smooth<br />
through a sadness, to gain positivity, for clarity.<br />
There are 16 to choose from.<br />
Non-toxic nail polish<br />
Did you know that<br />
standard nail polishes are<br />
full of unnecessary<br />
toxins? We were shocked<br />
to find how many. Our<br />
Dr’s Remedy varnishes<br />
are totally natural – plus<br />
For long-haul trips<br />
We recommend that anyone travelling to<br />
countries where food is unfamiliar and water<br />
may not suit western stomachs to take Optibac<br />
for Travelling Abroad probiotics, which contain<br />
special probiotic strains to give protection<br />
against bugs. We also supply a homeopathic<br />
remedy to help reduce symptoms of jetlag.<br />
Skin saviours<br />
Protect yourself from mosquitoes by taking a B<br />
Vitamin Complex that includes Vitamin B1 and<br />
spraying with Incognito Insect Repellent spray.<br />
This award-winning blend of essential oils is<br />
clinically proven to protect against mosquitoes<br />
that carry zika, malaria, dengue and<br />
chikungunya. It is also free from harmful DEET<br />
and safe for children over six months.<br />
Also worth packing just in case of skin mishaps<br />
is Weleda’s Calendula Cuts & Grazes Salve or<br />
Spray, or HyperCal Wound Salve.<br />

Georgian style.<br />
Salt was being made from seawater here<br />
before even Roman times and in Georgian<br />
times it was in its heyday with huge sums being<br />
collected by the taxman. Ships sailed from<br />
Lymington with Salt to Newfoundland, America<br />
and Norway amongst others, bringing back<br />
other goods. Coal had to be imported in great<br />
quantities at the height of the industry to fuel<br />
the fires in the Salterns which stretched from<br />
the town Quay to Keyhaven creating an<br />
industrial landscape, operating night and day in<br />
the season. The season averaged 16 weeks of<br />
the year with up to 3<br />

The Dog Friendly Detective<br />
Did you know that about a quarter of the<br />
British population own dogs? (the figure<br />
according to a recent poll is actually 24%<br />
or about 8.9 million dogs). If you're one of<br />
those, then you'll know that it's fun to try<br />
to integrate your dog into your lifestyle, as<br />
opposed to leaving them out; in effect<br />
then, trying to make them one of the<br />
family.<br />
results; just start follow "The Dog Friendly<br />
Detective" on Instagram using<br />

SophiesPetCare<br />
Up until recently, this has been no easy<br />
task. The majority of places have made no<br />
provision at all for allowing dogs to<br />
accompany you, and so, invariably, you<br />
have had to leave them at home. They're<br />
not happy about that, looking up at you<br />
with their sad "oh no, not again" eyes as<br />
you close the front door. And you probably<br />
haven't felt too good about it either. Well,<br />
the good news is, it's all starting to change<br />
out there, and dogs are at last - not just<br />
being tolerated in public places like pubs,<br />
hotels and at local attractions - but actively<br />
being encouraged. The trouble is, how do<br />
you identify which ones these are? You<br />
can't just turn up with your hairy hound in<br />
tow and hope for the best, can you? Not to<br />
worry; for readers of this magazine, help is<br />
at hand...<br />

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

In the Garden<br />
with Alan Edmondson of<br />
Bowercot Garden Design<br />
<strong>Aug</strong>/<strong>Sept</strong><br />
Gardening Tips<br />
• Disbud chrysanthemums if large blooms are required. Prevent earwig damage by smearing<br />
Vaseline around the stems.<br />
• Remove growing tips from tomato plants about the middle of the month to encouraging the<br />
ripening of the fruit.<br />
• Many shrubs can be propagated from cuttings of semi-ripe shoots detached with a heel of<br />
older wood.<br />
• Dahlias must be fed regularly. About the middle of the month change the feed to a high<br />
potash one.<br />
• Keep the vegetable garden well weeded to avoid competition between them and your<br />
crops.<br />
• If you have grown wallflowers from seed, remove their growing tips to encourage good<br />
bushy plants.<br />
• Fix grease bands around the trunks of apple trees to avoid future problems from winter<br />
moths.<br />
• Towards the end of the month seed of hardy annuals can be sown in the greenhouse. They<br />
will produce early flowering plants for the greenhouse or very large plants for planting<br />
outside in the spring.<br />
• This is a good time for moving any trees and shrubs that are not suited to their present<br />
position. Water them in well.<br />
• Reduce the watering and feeding of your houseplants and transfer plants which like plenty<br />
of light to a south facing window.<br />
• If you have bare patches in the lawn, cut out the area of turf, fill with sieved soil and firm<br />
gently. Sow seed at a rate of about 2oz per square yard.<br />
• Put in plants of spring cabbage; also any late winter cabbages savoys or kale.<br />
• Prepare storage places for apples and pears.<br />
• Give hedges their final cut. New evergreen hedges can be planted from about mid-<br />
<strong>Sept</strong>ember.<br />

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

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

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

If you can remember the original Green<br />
Cross Man before he went over to the<br />
dark side and became Darth Vader, the<br />
phrase Stop, Look, Listen, Think will be<br />
indelibly imprinted on your brain.<br />
STOP, LOOK, LISTEN, THINK<br />
It was designed to make children aware of<br />
the dangers of crossing the road even<br />
before they had mobile phones to distract<br />
them. Incidentally, if you don’t know what I<br />
was on about in the first paragraph, Google<br />
“David Prowse” and it should all make<br />
sense!<br />
So why am I invoking a mid-seventies road<br />
safety campaign? It’s because I think we<br />
should have something similar to help use<br />
mobile devices more safely.<br />
1. Stop<br />
Always think twice before posting<br />
information on the Internet, especially if<br />
you are away from home. To make sure<br />
your holiday fun stays confidential, set the<br />
privacy and security preferences on web<br />
services and devices to your comfort level<br />
for sharing. Limit how and with whom you<br />
share information because if you let on that<br />
you are away for a few weeks, you are<br />
broadcasting that your home is likely<br />
unoccupied.<br />
2. Look<br />
If you are connected to Wi-Fi, is it a free<br />
public WiFi connection? If you are away<br />
from home, free Wi-Fi definitely comes in<br />
handy, but there are few reasons to keep<br />
connected all day and night. Using your<br />
device with public WiFi is something you<br />
should control to keep safe, so check what<br />
you are connected to.<br />
If your activities involve nothing more<br />
complicated than a Facebook post or two,<br />
assuming you are careful to take account of<br />
point 1, this may not seem like a big deal.<br />
But if you’re checking your bank account or<br />
shopping online, forget public Wi-Fi and go<br />
onto to your 3G or 4G mobile provider. It’s<br />
secure. After you’re done, you can go back<br />
to using public Wi-Fi.<br />
3. Listen<br />
Phishing is the most common way for<br />
criminals to steal your personal details. If<br />
something doesn’t seem right to you, then<br />
listen to your doubts, don’t click on that<br />
link or enter your password on what may<br />
be a bogus website.<br />
4. Think<br />
Particularly when we are away, be it a day<br />
out shopping, a coffee at the local coffee<br />
shop, or your annual holiday, we can be<br />
caught up in what we are doing and don’t<br />
take the care we should.<br />
Just remember, Stop, Look, Listen, Think<br />

Consideration<br />
of Pets in Your Will<br />
We are a nation of pet lovers with<br />
approximately 12 million households<br />
having pets with 51 million pets owned.<br />
They are part of the family and very<br />
important to us, so it seems right we<br />
should give them some consideration<br />
when it comes to preparing our Wills. So<br />
what can be done to look after them after<br />
we are gone?<br />
Pets are considered personal chattels, and<br />
can therefore be left to a beneficiary in<br />
your Will. You can either name the pet that<br />
you have or make it apply to any pet that is<br />
alive when you die.<br />
You should consider who you want to look<br />
after your pet. It can be left to a particular<br />
person or to an animal charity. Pets cost<br />
money and you should consider whether<br />
you wish to leave a sum of money to the<br />
beneficiary in order to be able to provide<br />
for your pet. The sum of money can be<br />
made conditional in that the beneficiary<br />
will only receive it if they undertake to look<br />
after the animal.<br />
It would be wise to consider putting in a<br />
substitute beneficiary also to ensure there<br />
is someone able to take on the<br />
responsibility. The life span of your pet and<br />
the age of the beneficiary should be<br />
considered also.<br />
Kerry Richardson<br />
If you did not wish to name a specific<br />
beneficiary, you could leave your pet to<br />
your Executors along with a Letter of<br />
Wishes detailing how you would wish the<br />
animal to be dealt with. This leaves more<br />
options open to the Executors at the time<br />
of your death.<br />
Alternatively, your animal could be left to<br />
an animal welfare charity with a request<br />
that the charity find a suitable home.<br />
Your pet could also be included in a<br />
Discretionary Trust with the residuary<br />
estate again with a Letter of Wishes. This<br />
would give the Trustees flexibility to decide<br />
who should look after your pet.<br />
We can talk you through all of the above<br />
options and your initial Will appointment.<br />
If you concerned about<br />
these issues,<br />
Heppenstalls can help<br />
you explore the issues in<br />
a friendly and informal<br />
way. If you would like to make an<br />
appointment, or to talk to our team about<br />
