Jacqui

Kirsty Eustace 

Our Cover Page Artist 

Textile artist Kirsty Eustace came to the 

New Forest in 2012, where she draws her 

inspiration for the unique textile painting 

she produces. When asked about the 

influence the New Forest has on her work, 

she said; 

"Life in the New Forest continues to fill me 

with wonder and joy, from the noise of the 

waves picking up the stones at Milford 

beach to the ever-changing seasons in the 

forest itself, there really is a myriad of 

opportunity for inspiration in this area. 

Originally an Essex girl from Southend on 

Sea...I have never owned any white 

stilettos, although you may catch the odd 

mispronunciation of most words ending 

with the letter t...I grew up in a family who 

encouraged a fascination with nature, both 

through a love and respect of animals, and 

the growing and nurturing of plants. We 

spent our summers and winters in the 

garden, and our holidays in the most 

beautiful parts of the British coast and 

countryside. This experience has had a 

profound effect on the imagery that 

inspires me." 

Kirsty graduated from Central Saint Martins 

in 2001 with a BA(Hons) in Print Design, and 

she still has a love affair for repeated 

patterns; Lucienne Day, Barbara Brown and 

Mary White are among her favourite 

designers of the past. She still can’t help 

dabbling now and then with the odd print 

design and she hopes to bring this element 

into her artwork in the future. 

Kirsty says; "I’ve had a thing for line and 

stitch for the last couple of decades, heavily 

influenced by Erte and Beardsley’s 

captivating illustrations. I have always liked 

drawing with the sewing machine to 

recreate the flowing lines of a pen and ink 

drawing. I’m not afraid of getting it wrong 

and trying again, it is frustrating when you 

can’t quite get a piece to work, but I’m 

aware no one was born an expert they just 

practiced a lot. It’s early days for me as an 

artist and I still don’t really think I have cut 

my teeth fully yet, but I’m constantly 

curious and continuously grateful for having 

the opportunity to try."

NOTES FROM THE SOLENT CELLAR 

We have just returned from our annual 

pilgrimage to Jerez 

de la Frontera in 

Andalusia. It has 

now become our 

tradition to pop on 

our running shoes 

and run in the 

Sherry race, which 

involves running 

14km around the 

hills of Jerez with 

optional stops for 

sherry and tapas 

along the way! 

Sherry Run! 

Thirsty Work—Running for our Sherry! 

Jerez is part of the sherry triangle along with 

Sanlucar de Barrameda and El Puerto de Santa 

Maria. Sherry is a seriously undervalued drink 

that can range from the super dry Fino’s and 

Manzanilla’s to the very sweet Moscatel and 

Pedro Ximinez’s and everything in between. The 

wines are also amazingly food friendly with the 

dryer styles matching dishes like fried fish, 

olives and prawns to the more nutty/oxidative 

styles that pair to more robust dishes such as 

grilled pork or steak. The sweet wines can 

almost be a dessert on their own, Pedro 

Ximenez poured over ice cream can make for an 

easy but delicious dessert, or pair sweet 

Moscatel to sticky toffee pudding! 

Whilst in the region we always like to visit some 

Bodegas, taste the wines and find out what the 

new Spring release of the ‘en rama’ is like. The 

style ‘en rama’ is sherry that has been drawn 

straight from the barrel without any or very 

minimal filtration. The lightest styles of sherry 

such as Fino and Manzanilla often undergo 

excessive filtration and clarification which 

although produces a wine that is really clear 

and with a long shelf life, it also strips out a lot 

of the delicious flavour. 

Each Spring several Bodegas have started to 

release a Fino or Manzanilla ‘en rama’, 

and it is definitely one to try for the sherry 

lover! It is a richer, more expressive style and 

one to pair to seafood dishes, juicy olives and 

toasted almonds. This year we visited Bodegas 

Cesar Florido down on the coast in a little town 

called Chipiona. This small, artisan Bodega is 

unusual for the region in that they grow their 

own grapes and 

produce their own 

wine. 5 th generation 

Cesar conducted the 

tour round his three 

small bodegas 

spread across the 

town. We were lucky 

enough to taste all of 

his wines from barrel 

as well as try the 

newly bottled Fino 

‘en rama’ of which 

only 600 half bottles 

are UK bound 

*arriving Mid-May * 

Cesar Florido pouring from 

the venenciador 

Cesar Florido is most famously known for his 

sweet Moscatels of which they produce two. 

The first Moscatel Dorado is grape juice that is 

fortified and then aged, and is a light style 

enjoyable as an aperitif or with light and fruity 

desserts. The second is Moscatel Pasas, Cesar 

explained that the grapes are left out on mats in 

the sun to dry for 15 days in which time the 

juice concentrates and the fruit raisins, the 

grapes are then pressed and the juice fortified. 

This is a richer style with dried fruit notes and 

nuts and on tasting is almost a dessert on its 

own! 

Our visit ended up with Cesar directing us to a 

fantastic off the tourist track seafood restaurant 

where we could try the local speciality gambas 

and freshly grilled fish accompanied by his dry 

en rama, and to finish flan with the moscatel 

dorado! Heather & Simon, The Solent Cellar

DOGGY 

PASSIONS 

My love of animals started at a young age, 

having been brought up with German 

Shepherd dogs, my dream job of working 

with animals is happening: 

At Kait’s Canine Care we have a lovely variety 

of dogs and cats to care for. We pride 

ourselves on looking after your pets as if they 

were our own. 

The business is growing; In the last 18 months 

I have partnered with Ruth Elrington-Browne, 

also a Milford on Sea resident. This has 

enabled us to take on more dogs to offer our 

walking and boarding services to. 

Between us, Ruth and I have owned many 

dogs over the years. I have two Cavaliers, 

Alfie and Amber, Ruth has a border collie 

cross called Sasha. This experience of 

different breeds and personalities has been 

crucial to our success in caring for and 

understanding your dog’s needs. 

We offer a personal service tailored to your 

dog’s requirements. For example, your dog 

may not be able to manage an hour long walk 

so we would take them for a short walk but 

spend the remainder of the time with your 

dog, giving belly rubs, hugs and company. 

We ensure that we keep you informed on 

how your pet is settling with us, both on 

walks and when we are boarding them. You 

will be updated by texts and emails with 

plenty of photographs and videos of them so 

that you can rest assured they are having a 

wonderful time. 

I am currently studying for a diploma in 

Animal Anatomy and a course in Pet 

Bereavement.

Dementia 

Keeping your Mind 

Active & Engaged 

In one way or another we are all likely to 

be affected by dementia. The Alzheimer’s 

Society estimates that one in fourteen 

people over 65 has dementia. It is a 

disease of the brain and not a part of 

natural ageing. The most common types 

are Alzheimer's and vascular dementia. 

However, it is not just about losing your 

memory, it also affects cognitive skills 

such as thinking, learning, problem 

solving and communicating. 

Our main aim is to get people’s mind active 

and engaged in a friendly and enjoyable 

setting. 

Carers are invited to have tea/coffee whilst 

their loved ones attend the session. 

Some feedback from the groups 

" I feel relaxed in the group and not 

embarrassed about making mistakes " 

" Its the highlight of my week, I love it!" 

When someone has dementia there are 

different ways we can help people 

improve their memory and thinking skills. 

It has been proved that cognitive 

stimulation therapy can help on a 

cognitive level and in terms of quality of 

life. 

What is Cognitive Stimulation Therapy 

(CST)? 

Cognitive stimulation therapy, also known 

as CST, is a structured programme of group 

activities and discussions. Each group runs 

once a week for a period of 14 weeks. 

There is a maximum number of eight 

participants at a time, along with a group 

facilitator and a volunteer. Each session 

lasts one hour and comprises of group 

activities focused on strengthening and 

maintaining: 

• Orientation 

• Short and long term memory 

• Problem solving/reasoning skills 

• Concentration/focus/attention 

Where are the groups? 

Lyndhurst, Totton and Milford on Sea.

SOMETHING’S WRONG WITH MY INTERNET? 

That’s a phrase I have heard many times 

when I answer the phone or open an email. 

Normally closely followed by “and can you 

fix it?” 

The answer is almost always yes, but there 

are some things beyond my control. Having 

said that, a process of elimination will reveal 

where the point of failure is and who should 

be held responsible. 

I say ‘which’ point of failure because there 

are an awful lot of things that can go wrong 

with an Internet connection. Thankfully it 

works better than when we still used warbly 

dial-up modems but it can still give 

problems thank you very much! 

Your Internet connection is made up of a 

chain of devices passing information 

between them at high speed. At least that’s 

what it is when it’s working properly. 

So, you want to see something online. What 

follows is a simplified description of what 

happens. 

Your computer, tablet, smartphone, 

whatever connects to your router. If it 

connects using Wi-Fi or powerline adaptors, 

there’s the first potential point of failure. 

Often when people say their Internet is 

down, it’s because of problems with Wi-Fi 

signal, which can be fixed. 

Next, your router takes your request for a 

specific website and looks for something 

called a DNS server. Think of this as the 

Internet’s address book which tells your 

router where the website you want to visit 

can be found. 

This is another potential point of failure 

because if the DNS server can’t be found or 

is not up to date, the website you want 

won’t appear and you’ll get a browser error. 

Some DNS errors can be fixed, but this is 

more likely an issue for your broadband 

provider. 

If all is well, your router then connects to 

the website and allows you to communicate 

with the website server through the 

company hosting that particular website. 

This is a further potential point of failure 

because the hosting company probably has 

tens or hundreds of thousands of websites 

on their servers. If something breaks or is 

misconfigured, they may not be able to find 

the website you want. When this happens, 

realistically there is nothing that can be 

done until it is fixed. 

I’ve left out all the techie stuff that can go 

wrong, but in some ways, when you 

consider what is involved, it is a wonder the 

Internet works at all!

The Benefits of Owning a Cat 

A number of academic studies have appeared 

in recent years claiming that having a cat 

improves our health. These studies provide 

many compelling reasons why they are 

'purrrfect' for us all. 

Here's a selection: 

Reduced stress and anxiety: Owning a cat 

triggers calming chemicals in the body, 

decreasing stress and anxiety levels and 

moreover, just the very act of stroking a cat is 

known to be relaxing. 

Therapeutic benefits: The calming effect of 

owning a cat apparently triggers the release of 

oxytocin, a hormone known for inducing 

feelings of love and trust. 

Boosted immunity: Exposure to pet fur in the 

house is claimed to boost our resistance to 

allergens, and thus decrease the risk of allergies 

and asthma. 

Lowered blood pressure: According to some 

studies, cat owners seem to enjoy lower blood 

pressure than non-cat owners, due to the 

calming presence that cats provide. 

Romance: If you're a single bloke looking for 

love, then perhaps a cat is the solution: One 

study revealed that women were more 

attracted to men who owned cats because cat 

ownership "suggests sensitivity and 

intelligence". 

resources needed to feed a dog creates the 

same eco-footprint as that of a big four-wheel 

drive Hummer vehicle. Meanwhile, cats only 

have the approximate carbon footprint of a 

Volkswagen Golf. 

So they're more 

ecologically 

friendly to the 

planet. 

From all the 

research going 

on, it's seems 

clear that cats are 

certainly 

beneficial to have 

around, and 

ownership is 

quite easy and 

undemanding. The only problem arises when 

you want to go off on holiday, because cats are 

very territorial, and simply don't like unfamiliar 

surroundings at all. If taken out of their routine, 

they often get tremendously stressed and even 

refuse to eat. 

However, there is a simple, local solution to all 

that; call Sophie's Cat Care on 01425 262 100. 

They will visit your home regularly whenever 

you're away, feed the cat, check that they're 

well, and – as a free added benefit – pick up the 

mail, switch on and off lights, make your house 

looked lived in and generally increase security 

of your home in your absence. 

Companionship: If the above doesn't work, 

then having a cat could be the next best thing; 

A Swiss study conducted in 2003, revealed that 

owning a cat is "similar to having a romantic 

partner." 

So, if after reading this, you're tempted to get a 

cat, you can go right ahead, absolutely secure in 

the knowledge that ownership and holidays will 

be purrfectly stress-free with Sophie's, the New 

Forest's cat care experts.

Having just returned from a long weekend in 

Seville, I wanted to take the opportunity to 

tell you about this wonderful city. 

The city is dominated by it’s stunning 

cathedral, a mixture of Muslim and Christian 

as we found out from our tour guide. Built 

initially as a mosque and then extended by 

the Christians in the 15 th century after the 

Arabs were forced out. The whole city has a 

very visible mixed heritage which makes it 

extremely interesting to hear about. It has 

the third oldest bull ring in Spain which we 

also enjoyed a guided tour of and I was 

fascinated by the history and prestige 

associated to the ‘sport’ in Seville. 

Seville has some beautiful gardens to visit, 

the largest and most impressive belongs to 

the Alcazar Palace. It is filled with quiet 

corners, fountains and mazes. It surrounds 

the palace which is still used to this day when 

the Royal Family stay in the town. A queue

entry on line. Another lovely park surrounds 

the Spanish Square (Plaza de Espana) in 

Seville which is a lovely tranquil square 

where people can row boats around the 

small Venetian style canal. 

The central cathedral square in Seville is 

bustling with tourists and horse & carriage 

rides but also there is an abundance of side 

streets full of tapas bars and restaurants 

where locals meet so the vibe in the city is 

lovely. 

We took the opportunity to travel out to 

Cordoba on the train one day as I had heard 

that it was worth a visit, and that certainly 

was the case! There is a large Jewish quarter 

in Cordoba with tiny, narrow streets filled 

with outdoor cafes and restaurants and the 

Arab and Jewish influences are plentiful. The 

Mezquita is the main structure in the small 

city and tells its own historical tale just by the 

style of building. The city is beautiful and 

mosaic tiles are a huge feature here as they 

are in Seville. 

Seville is an easy city to access, we flew from 

Gatwick and had arrived within 2.5 hours. 

We then got an airport shuttle bus into the 

city which cost 9 euros per person.

I LOVE TURTLES 

By the time you read this article, we may well 

have had both the local elections and the 

European Parliament election. We might 

possibly even be heading for (or have had) a 

Labour or Conservative Party leadership 

election, a second referendum (less likely, I 

feel) or a general election! I have certainly 

never known such a volatile era in politics. 

Whilst out delivering leaflets door to door in 

the local elections early in May, a number of 

residents expressed dismay at the national 

situation and told me they would never vote for 

their long-time-favourite political Party again. 

Or indeed any Party. Several complained to me 

about the lack of information available to them 

about their local election candidates. Some 

bemoaned the dearth of choice in candidates 

full stop. About the spelling mistakes on the 

leaflets (not mine, I hasten to add.) Some 

asked me, incredulously, what on earth would 

possess me to want to stand in an election at 

this time in political history at all? 

As I watched the ballot papers being verified, 

clasping a lukewarm coffee, with my 

opponents’ crosses appearing to be many 

greater in number than my own that I couldn’t 

bear to look, I began to ask myself that 

question. As I read through the spoilt ballot 

papers with the hastily scribbled rude pictures 

and messages across them, in the most 

uncivilised hours of the morning, I asked myself 

that question. “You’re all rubbish” “What a 

load of old…” “I love turtles.” As I waited to be 

called up to the Returning Officer’s stand, 

yawning with the other candidates who had 

bothered to stay up to find out the result (last 

to be called at 4.30am in the morning), I asked 

myself that question again. 

But even good colleagues who were not 

fortunate enough to be re-elected would agree 

that serving as a local councillor is a hugely 

rewarding activity. It is a great privilege to be 

able to represent people in an area that you 

love, if only for as long as you are elected to do 

so. And elections are this strangely addictive, 

unavoidable nightmare that comes with the 

job! 

And I say to people, don’t stop voting, don’t 

give up. Write “I love turtles” if you want. But 

go out to the polling station and vote in some 

way in all these elections! And if you feel 

passionately that your candidates are “all 

rubbish”, go and become a better one. There 

has never been a more exciting time to be 

involved in politics, for sure! And the world 

urgently needs good, new politicians!

Cornwallis Remembered 

1819-2019 

Preparations are 

now well advanced 

for the events 

which will 

commemorate the 

bi-centenary of 

Milford’s most 

distinguished 

resident Admiral Sir 

William Cornwallis (1744-1819). 

On the 8 th June our twelve week exhibition 

will open at the St Barbe Museum and Art 

Gallery. “Command of the Seas”! The Navy 

and the New Forest against Napoleon” is 

designed to show the part played by our local 

admirals, William Cornwallis, Robert Man and 

John Peyton, in defeating Napoleon. 

Featuring items relating to our admirals on 

loan from both national and private 

collections, a highlight of the show will be 

JMW Turner’s second sketch for the Battle of 

Trafalgar, on loan from the Tate. The role of 

the New Forest in supplying timber and other 

materials to the local ship-builders will be 

strongly featured. 

Linking with the exhibition, we shall be 

launching an Admirals' Heritage Trail with an 

illustrated guide showing where to find our 

important naval links with Georgian times 

from Hurst to Calshot taking in Milford, 

Lymington, Boldre, South Baddesley, 

Buckler's Hard and Lepe." 

On Friday 5 th July there will be a church 

service conducted by the Bishop of 

Basingstoke, and senior representatives from 

Hampshire, the Royal Navy and naval 

historical research will be attending. The 

Cornwallis grave and memorial will be 

rededicated and a new stained-glass window 

commemorating all three admirals will be 

blessed. 

A two horse 

post-chaise 

with riders in 

full costume 

will visit the 

village school 

and then 

proceed to 

the church 

where the 

service will 

be followed 

by a 

recreation of 

the arrival of 

the news of 

Photo: Mike Thomas 

Nelson's 

death and victory at Trafalgar by post-chaise. 

The post-chaise will then move to the village 

green where between 3pm and 5pm there 

will be a variety of themed entertainment, 

live music, Royal Navy and Trafalgar Way 

stands and refreshments provided by local 

groups and Royal Navy Catering. Subject to 

operational duties, it is hoped to have a Royal 

Navy training boat of the P2000 Archer Class 

in Lymington port over that week-end. 

A Commemorative Dinner will be held on 

Saturday 6th July 2019 in the Cornwallis Suite 

of South Lawn Hotel, Milford (once the 

property of Admiral Cornwallis) with a 

leading naval historian as the guest speaker. 

Cornwallis Remembered 1819-2019 is the 

result of a collaboration of four 

organisations: Milford-on-Sea Historical 

Record Society, The 1805 Club, the New 

Forest National Park Authority, the St Barbe 

Museum and Art Gallery. Additional funding 

has been provided by the National Lottery 

Heritage Fund, Hampshire Archives Trust, the 

Hampshire Field Club and Archaeological 

Society, the Tate Gallery, local history 

societies, local authorities and many 

individual donations.

IS ‘GREEN’ COUNTRYSIDE ALWAYS GOOD 

FOR WILDLIFE? 

I recently attended a ‘Re-wilding’ discussion at 

the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust 

(HWT) in Curdridge (nr. Botley) in Hampshire. 

During discussions, one of the HWT speakers 

said something that made my jaw drop! He 

said, ‘a green countryside was not necessarily 

good for wildlife!’ 

In driving across the countryside, we pass lots 

of farms and see lots of what we call ‘green 

countryside’. In fact, what we actually see over 

the course of a typical year is farmland that is 

not ‘green’ at all e.g. oil-seed rape (yellow), 

wheat and barley (golden) and flax (pale blue) 

all of which make us feel great to be in the 

countryside. But should it? 

countryside. We already know that singlecropped 

intensively farmed land is pretty poor 

in helping create healthier and more abundant 

wildlife. However, questions remain such as 

how can we; 

• feed ourselves? 

• ensure that farms are profitable? 

• increase pollinators? and, 

• ensure that wildlife is enhanced so that we 

can continue to enjoy our beautiful, yet 

undoubtedly flawed countryside? 

Looks pretty idyllic, but is it as good as it 

could be for us and wildlife? 

Unseasoned logs available 

Between 75 and 80 per-cent of our countryside 

is farmland. The rest of the landscape is 

presumably taken up by towns, villages, brownfield 

sites, water-bodies and the MOD! 

Over the ensuing weeks, months and years, and 

when we are out of the EU, we shall probably 

be giving more thought to the use of our

Security at Barnes Lane Recreation 

Ground 

Beach Clean success 

The first Plastic Free Milford-on-Sea beach 

clean proved to be a great success on 

Saturday, 6 th April, with 45 people aged 6- 

76 turning up to help clean up the beach. 

The group 

collected 3 

large sacks of 

rubbish which 

were then 

kindly 

collected by 

the NFDC 

Streetscene Team for recycling and 

disposal. The strangest item found was a 

rusty saw, but the most common items 

were plastic food wrappers. The Plastic 

Free Team would like to thank everyone 

which took part, as well as Milford-on-Sea 

Parish Council, NFDC and Plastic Free 

Lymington for their support and more 

beach cleans will be taking place later this 

year. 

Following a recent spate of break-ins and 

vandalism, the Parish Council has installed 

additional security measures to ensure 

that the pavilion does not continue to 

suffer damage at the hands of few selfish 

individuals. The Parish Council would like 

to urge local residents to report any 

suspicious activity in the area to police as 

soon as possible. 


Hanging Basket sponsorship 

The Parish Council would like thank local 

resident Charles Wilson who has kindly 

sponsored this years’ hanging basket 

display. Mr Wilson’s kind contribution to 

the floral 

displays 

over many 

years has 

ensured 

our village 

is a bright 

and 

welcoming place throughout the summer.

WILDLIFE MATTERS ……... to all of us 

‘ REWILDING’ 

CONTINUED 

The Knepp Estate in West Sussex is a 3,500 acre 

farm and since WW2 had been intensively 

farmed but rarely made a profit. 

The landowners, Sir Charles Burrell and his wife 

Isabella Tree decided that they could not 

continue to work the farm the way they were 

doing. Having read about a re-wilding scheme 

in the Netherlands, they decided to allow 

natural processes to take place over much of 

their land. 

referred to as ‘apex predators’ such as lynx or 

keystone species like beaver and wild boar, 

which may be reintroduced later. 

They introduced free-roaming grazing animals, 

including Longhorn cattle, ponies, Tamworth 

pigs and deer to drive the regeneration of the 

farm. The introduction helped create a mosaic 

of habitats, ranging between grassland, scrub 

and trees. 

Their untried management of the farm has 

provided some astonishing results in 

biodiversity gain and the farm is now 

profitable, though not without a little help from 

providing commercial camping in yurts, 

shepherd’s huts and tree houses! 

The farm now has breeding Purple Emperor 

butterflies, Turtle Doves and 2 per-cent of the 

UKs population of Nightingales. 

Rewilding can best be described as an 

approach to ecological restoration, which 

focuses on natural processes. 

Regeneration is managed by free-roaming 

herbivores as we no longer have what are 

The following books are well worth a read. The 

first is ‘Wilding’ by Isabella Tree and the second 

is ‘Re-birding’ by Benedict Macdonald. Both 

raise challenging questions about the way 

Britain’s historical landscape forest has been 

perceived and the way wild habitats have been 

managed in the recent past. They also offer 

some tantalising ideas about what animals and 

birds might be reintroduced in the future to 

help recover our diminishing wildlife. 

However, re-wilding does have its own set of 

unique problems, one of which saw many 

animals having to be culled in the Netherlands 

on the Oostvaardersplassen nature reserve 

following extreme cold and unpredictable 

winter weather. The Dutch government has 

now set a cap on the number of animals, rather 

than leaving things entirely to natural 

processes. They also want new woodlands 

created so that the animals have somewhere to 

shelter during the worst of future winter 

conditions. 

Despite early successes, there is still a lot we 

need to learn about re-wilding!

In the Garden 

with Alan Edmondson of 

Bowercot Garden Design 

June/July 

Gardening Tips 

• If dry weather sets in, Gladioli will require a good soaking when the flower spike can 

be felt. 

● Trim dead flowers from aubretia and saxifrage and clip over other alpines after 

flowering to keep them tidy. 

● Tomato plants require regular watering and a weekly feed once fruit has set. 

● Provide extra food for the birds and hedgehogs in very dry weather. Hedgehogs 

would benefit from some pet food and water (NOT milk). Replenish the water bowl 

regularly. 

● Thin apples after the ‘June drop’. Leave two or three apples to each cluster. 

● Plant outdoor tomatoes on prepared sites and continue to sow seed of salad crops, 

peas and French beans. 

● Keep the hoe in operation to control weed seedlings. 

● Lupins and delphiniums can be cut to ground level when flowering is over. Feed to 

encourage a second flowering. Geranium pratense and its various forms can be treated 

in a similar manner. 

● If your bearded irises have not flowered check that the rhizomes are not planted too 

deeply. They should be planted on the surface of the soil. 

● Strawberry plants should be discarded after three years. Start to produce 

replacements by pegging down runners from healthy plants. 

● Do not dead head roses such as Rosa rugosa and Rosa moyesii as they will have a 

good show of hips later in the year. 

● Sow seeds of alpines as they ripen. They should germinate readily now. 

● Infestations of aphids on water lilies can be washed/hosed into the pool. 

● Woody stemmed herbs such as thyme and sage will root quickly from cuttings at this 

time of year

Kerry Richardson 

Cohabitation 

There are more than 6 million cohabiting 

couples in the UK yet there are a number of 

issues that many cohabiting couples are not 

aware of. For example, if one cohabiting 

partner dies without leaving a will, the 

surviving partner will not automatically 

inherit anything owned solely by their 

partner. Cohabiting partners also cannot 

access their partner's bank account if they 

die. 

Upon separate there is no obligation to 

support each other financially. An unmarried 

partner who stays at home to care for 

children cannot make any claims in their 

own right for property, maintenance or 

pension-sharing. 

Divorce 

If you have commenced divorce proceedings 

but not finalised them then your Will is still 

valid. However, your former spouse is 

treated as if they “died” on the day the 

decree absolute is granted by the Court. 

That means any gift in the Will falls back into 

the residue for the benefit of the residuary 

beneficiaries. However, if you had left 

everything to your former spouse, then the 

effect is as if you had died intestate and the 

rules of intestacy once again decide how 

your estate is distributed. 

If you die without having written a will you 

are “intestate”. The intestacy rules state 

that until divorce your spouse will receive a 

substantial sum. 

Modern Families 

Second Marriages 

We know that circumstances around a 

second marriage are often more 

complicated than the first. There may be 

children from a previous relationship to 

consider, as well as assets you have acquired 

during your first marriage (property, savings 

and a pension pot). Many people will want 

to provide for their new spouse and children 

from their previous marriage, you can do 

this by placing a trust in your Will to 

safeguard the future of your new spouse 

and your children from your previous 

marriage. 

Intestacy 

We spend days and hours choosing everyday 

items yet many will not spend an hour or 

two making a Will in order to save their 

loved ones heartache. 

Nearly 60% of adults have not made a Will. 

By not making a Will you may be losing out 

on tax saving benefits. If you pass away 

without making a Will your estate will be 

dealt with by the intestacy rules. The 

intestacy rules do not cater for modern 

families, for example, a cohabiting partner 

cannot inherit under the intestacy rules nor 

can a step child who has not been legally 

adopted. 

Make some time to make a Will and look 

after your loved ones. If you would like to 

speak with Kerry or the team at 

Heppenstalls for assistance or advice, please

Milford on Sea Community Panel 

The Community Panel News held its 

AGM in April with representatives 

from 16 local organisations. It was 

agreed that the Panel should continue with its 

information strategy for the village. The Big 

Info Day was a great success and could be 

repeated annually. The idea of a village 

minibus was again discussed and 1 member of 

the group agreed to take the project forward. 

If you would like to get involved in the minibus 

initiative, or are interested in the work of the 

Panel, please contact Jenny on 

jenny@whitleyonsea.net The next meeting is 

on Tuesday July 2 nd at 6pm in the Community 

Centre Café. 

Milford on Sea Dementia Action 

John Whitley, the treasurer, decided 

to raise funds himself for the group 

by entering the Isle of Wight Ultra 

Challenge. John successfully completed his 

challenge , walking and running 52 kilometres 

along the coastal path in just under 11 hours, 

raising £1,300 so far, to support local activities 

for people living with dementia, and their 

families. He would like to thank everyone who 

has sponsored him. John said it was definitely 

the most challenging event of his life, far

Milford on Sea Befrienders The 

committee has carried out an audit 

to ascertain the views of all 

befrienders and befriendees and the results 

were very positive. It is heartening to see how 

the lives of so many have been changed for the 

better as a result of a simple regular visit with 

a cup of tea or a weekly outing. There are 

many strong relationships that have been 

created and it would appear that both sides 

are benefitting with some moving on to 

become real friends and others who were 

nervous about getting out and about, are now 

active members of our community and 

enjoying social events in the community centre 

for instance. Both sides say they have learnt a 

lot from their new friends. We are all 

heartened that a simple gesture is having such 

a positive effect on the community as a whole.
