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 />

Spectacles:<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 />

Salt was being made from seawater here<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 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 />

#dogfriendlydetective, or follow along on<br />

Twitter at https://twitter.com/<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 />
