SUN, SEA…..and REX<br />
With the grey clouds at last starting to give<br />
way to bouts of brilliant sunshine, now's<br />
the time to rejuvenate your senses and<br />
exercise your dog at the same time by<br />
heading for our sparkling coastline. But<br />
where can you and Rex, your<br />
poo-producing, sandwich-stealing pooch<br />
actually go without upsetting everyone<br />
else around you? Read on, Sophie's Pet<br />
Care have got it all sorted...<br />
free bits of hot sausage. Now it's changed<br />
hands, and become a no-dog zone inside.<br />
However, there's a wide selection of<br />
public seating with rejuvenating sea views<br />
outside, and you can grab a snack and a<br />
drink from the beachfront shop. <strong>The</strong>re are<br />
also public conveniences available.<br />
Gundimore Beach at Mudeford is ideal.<br />
Unlike it's neighbour Avon Beach — where<br />
from May they'll fine you and your fourlegged<br />
friend for setting foot on it —<br />
little-known Gundimore, right next door<br />
remains "dog friendly" all the year round.<br />
You can leave your vehicle in the sunken<br />
car park just behind the beach, or admire<br />
the view from the public car park adjacent<br />
to the Noisy Lobster Cafe. It's situated<br />
right on the seafront overlooking the Isle<br />
of Wight.<br />
Gundimore Beach begins just to the right<br />
of this car park and continues in a westerly<br />
direction up toward Mudeford Quay.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re's usually a few dogs on the beach<br />
cavorting around and plunging manfully<br />
into the freezing waves. No one bothers<br />
them or you as long as you pick up your<br />
poo (well, not your poo exactly.... umm,<br />
you know what we mean).<br />
<strong>The</strong> Noisy Lobster Cafe used to be<br />
dog-friendly, didn't mind sandy floors and<br />
wet dogs and would often dish them out<br />
We can supply a walk route sheet if you<br />
fancy a wander around Gundimore in case<br />
you're stuck for inspiration.<br />
If you'd like a printable PDF of this walk<br />
route that you can take with you, simply<br />
email walkies@sophiespetcare.com and<br />
we'll send you one completely free of<br />
charge, and tell you about the services we<br />
can offer to you and your dog.<br />
See you next month from some more<br />
canine capers and hot news from the<br />
dogosphere!<br />

NOTES FROM THE SOLENT CELLAR<br />
Poiron Dabin| New Arrivals from the Loire<br />
At the Solent Cellar, we love sharing our<br />
new wine discoveries from our travels.<br />
Our latest trip encompassed several<br />
appellations of the Loire Valley, ending our<br />
trip South East of Nantes in the heart of<br />
Muscadet country.<br />
Poiron Dabin Sauvignon Blanc, IGP 2017 -<br />
Initial vine cuttings came from the<br />
prestigious village of Sancerre, this wine<br />
represents amazing value. Delicate but ripe<br />
passionfruit notes on the nose as well as<br />
pear. It has a long citrus finish.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re has been some resurgence going on<br />
in Muscadet over the recent years, and<br />
quality is definitely on the up! <strong>The</strong> younger<br />
generations are taking over the reins and<br />
introducing new ideas and techniques.<br />
Yields are being lowered and organic<br />
viticulture is becoming more common. <strong>The</strong><br />
creation of a new Cru status for exceptional<br />
areas for Muscadet has been exciting for<br />
growers and this has resulted in the<br />
creation of more complex wines. Although<br />
only 2% of Muscadet's production accounts<br />
for 'Cru Communal' it has raised the profile<br />
of the region highlighting the importance of<br />
terroir.<br />
Living on the South Coast , we love pairing<br />
the wines we have to the amazing array of<br />
fresh, local produce. At this time of year,<br />
the white wines from the Loire are perfect<br />
with fresh seafood such as <strong>Lymington</strong> Crab<br />
or Poole bay oysters. <strong>The</strong> asparagus season<br />
is also upon us, and there is nothing better<br />
than a plate of the beautiful spears freshly<br />
steamed and a glass of Sauvignon Blanc<br />
from the region.<br />
We visited on our trip, Poiron<br />
Dabin a small producer. This<br />
family owned estate work to<br />
the Terra Vitis production<br />
method, which follow<br />
sustainable farming methods:<br />
Poiron Dabin Muscadet Sur Lie Veille<br />
Vignes - A wine from 50 year old vines, this<br />
produces a classic 'Sur Lie' Muscadet with<br />
citrus and green apple notes and<br />
minerality. Pair to oysters!<br />
Poiron Dabin Sauvignon 'Fie Gris' 2017 -<br />
From one of their more obscure grape<br />
varieties which has a pinkish hue to the<br />
skin, this is fruity, slightly riper style with a<br />
touch of elderflower and ripe apple. <strong>The</strong><br />
perfect match would be Asian food with a<br />
touch of spice, or fish baked with aromatic<br />
herbs.<br />
Poiron Dabin Chateau <strong>The</strong>baud 'Clos des<br />
Tabardieres' Sevre et Maine' 2012 - <strong>The</strong><br />
top Cru communal wine where vineyards<br />
are on prime granite sites, this wine spends<br />
55 months on lees (minimum for this cru<br />
wine is 24). It has an amazing depth of<br />
flavour, ripe notes of apple, acacia honey<br />
and a stony minerality. Save this for a<br />
celebratory dish of brill or turbot. This wine<br />
can age for up to 20 years in the cellar!<br />

OUT ON THE WATER<br />
10<br />
Whether you have a petrol or outboard powered craft, or a diesel inboard boat, below are<br />
listed a few essential checks to help you get back on the water this season<br />
Fuel: Petrol<br />
Petrol will go stale so fill up your Fuel tank to<br />
dilute any existing fuel.<br />
Replace any canister fuel filters or clean out<br />
any water traps or washable fuel filters.<br />
Replace or clean spark plugs, especially if the<br />
engine has been “fogged” before winter<br />
storage.<br />
Prime the fuel system and recheck the water<br />
traps (condensation in fuel tanks over winter<br />
months can create a surprising amount of<br />
water in fuel tanks.)<br />
Add fuel conditioner to your tanks – a well<br />
worth investment, especially when today’s<br />
petrol contains 10% ethanol.<br />
Fuel: Diesel<br />
Same as above with the filters etc.<br />
Add a biocide and water absorber to prevent<br />
“bug” in the tank.<br />
Bleed fuel through to eliminate air in fuel<br />
system.<br />
Ignition system, Electrical contact points &<br />
Air Filters<br />
Most petrol ignition systems are now modern<br />
style CDI or TCI that require little<br />
maintenance, but if you have an old distributor<br />
style system the points will need cleaning<br />
etc.<br />
Batteries should be on trickle charge, and<br />
stored off the floor in a warm environment<br />
during the winter months. Recharge, check<br />
the fluids and when battery terminals are<br />
refitted, make sure the contacts are clean<br />
and then lubricated with Vaseline or similar.<br />
Check all domestic fuse boxes or exposed<br />
connections, and check vital electrical items<br />
such as bilge pumps, navigation lights etc. A<br />
systems check on VHF and GPS would also be<br />
recommended.<br />
Replace or at least check air filters. Don’t<br />
forget to remove the rag you may have<br />
stuffed up the air intake or the bag sealing<br />
the exhaust!<br />
Steering & Controls, Gear Boxes & Propellers<br />
Check to see if the steering system works freely<br />
before you attempt to launch at the slipway.<br />
Likewise run & test the outboard or stern drive<br />
engine before launching and check the operation<br />
of throttle & gear shift. Nothing more<br />
embarrassing than launching and finding you’re<br />
stuck at high revs in reverse!!<br />
On Outboards & Sterndrives, change the gear oil if<br />
not already done - an absolute must especially if<br />
the boat is staying in the water.<br />
Likewise, check anodes on both the cavitation<br />
plate, and prop shaft or engine bracket assembly.<br />
Anti foul with suitable coating if required.<br />
Check out the propeller, re-flare the blades if<br />
required, and if possible, remove prop and grease<br />
the shaft. On smaller engines with shear pins<br />
check to see if you have spares!<br />
If you trailer a boat, then always check the wheel<br />
bearings before setting off and lubricate – better<br />
safe than sorry.<br />
Likewise trailer brakes and lighting boards also<br />
require a quick check.<br />
Before you launch, ensure all drain bungs are<br />
refitted, sea cocks are turned off and your<br />
mooring warps, fenders and anchor is on board<br />
ready to use.<br />
If you are leaving your boat on a mooring during<br />
the summer months, then an appropriate<br />
anti-foul applied to the hull will prevent foul build<br />
up and subsequent poor performance.<br />
It is also good practise to check the expiry date of<br />
flares, lifejackets and service dates on life-rafts<br />
and please, please, please wear your kill cord at all<br />
times.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re will be other items that will need checking<br />
so always consult the professionals if unsure.<br />

'I've always liked to<br />
think of my audience<br />
as individuals, I<br />
suppose it's a way of<br />
controlling nerves. But<br />
what I realise every<br />
time I come to play at<br />
the Solent Music Festival<br />
is that yes, I'm<br />
playing/connecting<br />
with the individual as I<br />
always try to, but the<br />
SMF audience are a<br />
collective experience<br />
too. A family. A warm<br />
vibrant community that<br />
are hungry to have<br />
good music. I can't<br />
wait to be part of it all<br />
again.'<br />

Dazzle: Disguise and<br />
Disruption in War and<br />
Art<br />
16 <strong>June</strong> – 23 Sept<br />
Art historian James Taylor is the guest<br />
curator for a ground-breaking exhibition opening at St<br />
Barbe Museum and Art Gallery in <strong>Lymington</strong> on 16<br />
<strong>June</strong> <strong>2018</strong>.<br />
Dazzle tells the fascinating story of how the use of<br />
patterning on warships was introduced in the First<br />
World War to confuse U-boat commanders as to the<br />
speed and direction of the vessels.<br />
<strong>The</strong> exhibition, featuring works of art on loan from the<br />
Imperial War Museum, National Maritime Museum and<br />
British Museum, as well as regional and private collections,<br />
is based around paintings, drawings and prints<br />
by artists such as Wilkinson, Wadsworth, and<br />
Montague Dawson.<br />

HAVE YOU HEARD THE MYTH?<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is a myth that I would like to expel by<br />
telling you a story.<br />
Susan and Mark fell in love when they were<br />
in their early twenties. <strong>The</strong>y didn’t think<br />
much to the idea of marriage - they had a<br />
joint bank account and they lived together<br />
which was pretty much the same thing.<br />
Wasn’t it?<br />
<strong>The</strong> years went by and they added to their<br />
family, with two lovely children. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
moved into their own home. When the<br />
property was purchased as Susan wasn’t<br />
working and it was easier it was put in<br />
Mark’s name. But that didn’t matter, did it?<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir friends and family would often ask<br />
whether they were going to get married,<br />
<strong>The</strong>y didn’t see the point -they would state<br />
that they were ‘common law’ husband and<br />
wife and they didn’t need a piece of paper.<br />
One family friend suggested that if they<br />
weren’t intending to get married then they<br />
should make Wills. <strong>The</strong>y didn’t get around<br />
to it.<br />
Mark died suddenly in his early sixties.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re was still a little bit of mortgage<br />
outstanding on the property. <strong>The</strong> children<br />
were both now in their thirties with<br />
families of their own.<br />
Susan suddenly found that she did not have<br />
the same rights as a spouse or civil partner<br />
and there was no such entity as a common<br />
law spouse.<br />
Susan inherited the bank account as it was<br />
a joint account. However, as the house was<br />
Mark’s, she may have rights to live in it , as<br />
she had been living there as a couple.<br />
However, as they were only cohabitees, it<br />
may not be plain sailing. Under the Rules<br />
of Intestacy that apply when someone dies<br />
without a Will, the house passed to the<br />
children not to Susan. If Susan wanted the<br />
house she would have to apply to the court<br />
under the Inheritance (Family and<br />
Dependents) Act 1975 as she would be a<br />
recognised dependant.<br />
This is only one of many stories we could<br />
tell in relation to people dying without a<br />
Will. <strong>The</strong> most distressing part for your<br />
family ,is that not leaving clear instructions<br />
in a Will means that the whole process of<br />
dealing with your estate will be more<br />
complex and could leave the people you<br />
care about most with provision.<br />
Let us help you put your wishes into words.<br />

WHAT 0N EARTH IS GDPR?<br />
You may have heard about the General<br />
Data Protection Regulations which are just<br />
become law but may not have any idea<br />
what it means for regular people. You’re<br />
not alone. To fully explain GDPR would<br />
take more space than I have here, but I<br />
hope to give you an idea of how it affects<br />
you.<br />
<strong>The</strong> reasoning behind GDPR is that<br />
businesses have been playing fast and<br />
loose with our personal information,<br />
without too much in the way of risk to<br />
themselves. For large companies, a fine of<br />
£500,000 isn’t really a deterrent. £17m or<br />
4% of annual turnover, whichever is<br />
higher, hurts a bit more.<br />
But it’s not just about what happens when<br />
things go wrong. GDPR also gives the little<br />
man the right to know what information a<br />
company is holding about them, how long<br />
they intend to hold it, what justification<br />
they have to do so and the right to have<br />
the information completely destroyed.<br />
If there is a valid legal reason, such as part<br />
of a contract, then there is no right to be<br />
forgotten. But otherwise companies have<br />
to comply with removal requests within a<br />
reasonable timescale and can be reported<br />
to the Information Commissioners Office,<br />
who have much more power now, if they<br />
don’t.<br />
Companies also have to publicly publish<br />
how they deal with your personal information<br />
and how long they intend to hold<br />
on to it. <strong>The</strong>y also have to say how<br />
individuals can contact them with queries<br />
or requests specifically relating to personal<br />
data.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se details are commonly linked to on<br />
company websites, so look for links to<br />
things like Personal Data Protection Policy,<br />
Data Retention Policy or Data Privacy<br />
Notice at the bottom of website pages, or<br />
in their legal sections.<br />
Most importantly, they cannot keep your<br />
information without your consent if they<br />
have no other reason to keep it. <strong>The</strong>re is<br />
something called ‘Legitimate Interest’ as<br />
well as legal contracts which allow data<br />
retention, but companies can only use<br />
your data for the use they are claiming<br />
legitimate interest. <strong>The</strong>y can’t for instance<br />
add you to their email list as well if they<br />
don’t have your explicit consent to do so.<br />
Companies have to renew any consent you<br />
give on a regular basis and if they ask you,<br />
and you don’t reply, they have to remove<br />
you from their records. See<br />
www.ico.org.uk for more information.<br />
