Among the artefacts on display are wherrymen’s prepier licence tokens, antique signage, models of the pier, train and former ferry boat Hotspur IV and vintage photographs. e museum and shop will be open on Tuesdays with additional hours under consideration.

Instead, it’s a fun challenge where teams earn points for the age of their car (the older the better), creativity in decoration, and how well they complete a set of quirky challenges along the way. Adrienne, from Fawley, said: “It’s not about racing – it’s about doing something epic and having fun. Seeing the smiles our cow car brought to people we saw along the route was just amazing.” e idea for their cow-themed car, a ectionately named Gertrude, was inspired by the New Forest and came a er they noticed some cow-print fabric in a local shop. Teresa, from Hythe, said: “As soon as we saw the fabric, we knew we had to turn Gertrude into a cow. And that meant we also had the perfect idea for our costumes too – we would be cowgirls!” e 3-day event took Adrienne, Teresa and Gertrude through picturesque villages and breathtaking scenery. a teenager, and the support I’ve received from Solent Mind has been life changing,” she said. “Taking part in this rally with my Mum to give something back was the least I could do.” Solent Mind’s Fundraising Manager, Gaynor JordanDavis, said: “We’re extremely grateful for this support – a huge thank you to Adrienne and Teresa. It’s been wonderful to hear about their incredible fundraiser and we’re so glad they had such a memorable time.” e Monte Carlo or Bust car rallies are a set of banger rally adventures that challenge people to drive some of Europe’s most spectacular roads in an unspectacular car. e rally that begins in St. Quentin, France and nishes in Monte Carlo, has been taking place since 2013. Solent Mind is Hampshire’s largest mental health charity, which is making sure that anyone with a mental health problem in our community has somewhere to turn to for advice and support.

Despite the sweltering heat and lack of air conditioning, they kept going – tired but full of joy. Adrienne added: “It was so hot, and we were exhausted by the end. But it was the most incredible experience. We had so much fun, saw amazing places, and met some wonderful people. And Gertrude made it all the way with just one tiny hiccup!” Most importantly, the rally helped them raise more than £200 for Solent Mind, a cause close to Adrienne’s heart. “I’ve struggled with mental health since I was Adrienne, Teresa and Gertrude during event Gertrude - the cow car

Chorus leader and co-founder Paul Keeping said: “These courses are a great way to introduce people to a cappella singing, which may sometimes seem a little daunting. We will give people all the support and encouragement they need and place them in sections - bass, baritone, lead and tenor - that suits them. In the past the courses have attracted some experienced singers - which is really great - but the majority of people who come along are new to singing; perhaps looking for something different as a hobby? I have been here since the start and can thoroughly recommend it.” Ocean Harmony was formed in 2003, is a registered charity and performs in and around Southampton. It has a varied repertoire from the world of stage musicals to rock and pop in four-part harmony as well as barbershop style.

New Forest for Ukraine was set up in 2022, run by volunteers; the charity delivers humanitarian aid to Ukraine, with over 550 metric tonnes of aid sent since 2022. Among donors who have come forward to lend support are three Colten Care homes, Linden House in Lymington, King shers in New Milton and Fernhill in Longham. It was former Linden House Home Manager Lorraine Bell, now managing Fernhill, who was the initial driving force behind the homes’ involvement. Lorraine said: “When I was at Linden House, there were two Ukrainians in our team. They told me about their husbands fighting in the war and the plight of their families, friends and other people they knew in their country, from children all the way up to people aged 90 living with dementia. When they were speaking on the phone, they could hear bombs going off in the background. I always felt for them. We got talking about what we could do here to help those left with nothing because of the war.” Lorraine has a connection with NFFU through volunteer Sandra Quinn, and with the support of Linden House and the other homes, the pair began to arrange regular collections of mobility equipment, clothes and other surplus items that could be repurposed for Ukrainian shelters and hospitals. e items, which are not part of NHS provision, are gathered at Colten Care’s Ringwood warehouse and then o ered to NFFU. Items such as donated bed rails and overbed tables are now in use once again in a former factory dormitory in Kharkiv, which has been turned, through local action, into a centre for the elderly and disabled. “The Ukrainian people need our help now more than ever,” said Mandy Haynes, lead trustee for NFFU. “With usual facilities increasingly out of action, individual Ukrainians are setting up makeshift shelters for elderly people as well as children and families. They are doing their best to care for people with all kinds of complex conditions including dementia and amputations while most – including the carers – suffer from PTSD and other trauma caused by the conflict in Ukraine.” Seeing images of donated items in use at the shelter, including a homeless, bedbound person holding a Colten bedrail and another using an overbed table, have been poignant and emotive for Colten Care sta .

Across the New Forest, young people are struggling to nd somewhere safe to live. Many are leaving care at just 16 or 17, with no family to support them. Others are stuck sofa-sur ng in unsafe or unstable accommodation. It’s a hidden crisis, and one local charity is asking people across the Forest to help. Step by Step is looking for Supported Lodgings Hosts - everyday people with a spare room who can o er a young person a safe home and a bit of day-today support. Hosts aren’t expected to be parents or counsellors, just someone who listens and believes in them. “These young people are heroes in their own right,” says Debbie Moreton, CEO of Step by Step and a New Forest resident. “Like Superman had the Kents or Batman had Alfred, they just need someone who believes in them.” Hosts receive full training, 24/7 support, and a weekly allowance. You can be a family, a couple, single, retired Maddi or working - if you’ve got a spare room and a bit of time, you could make a life-changing di erence. Kaye, a local host, says: “The best part is seeing someone grow in confidence and take the next step in life.” Step by Step is especially keen to hear from people in Totton, Marchwood, Hythe, Dibden, Ashurst, Lyndhurst, Romsey, Calshot and surrounding villages.

Rather than trying on dozens from overwhelming racks of frames, our Eyewear Stylist can now narrow down the best options for you. e whole process is easier and far more pleasurable, making choosing new glasses something special. is bespoke service is in a relaxed environment where the focus is entirely on helping you look and feel your best. It can also be useful for very high prescriptions where, historically, there has been limited frame style options. e Walbank Opticians styling service takes the guesswork out of choosing new glasses, combining expert advice with a personal touch. e result?

Focus On Glasses by Twinkle Patel of Walbank Opticians It has been just over a year since e Purrfect Cat Ladies opened their little cattery in Dibden Purlieu. ere are chalets available, with the largest able to hold up to four cats from the same family, a double chalet, and a small single/double which has been built with nervous or senior cats in mind. Catteries, though, aren’t suitable for all cats. is is why the Purrfect Cat Ladies also offer their hugely successful home visits. It’s very important to ask the right questions when booking someone to pop in and take care of your cats but, perhaps, the most important thing is to let your cat tell you if they are happy with this person being in your home. e Purrfect Cat Ladies have years of experience of introducing themselves to cats and dogs, typically making friends with your animals within a few minutes. Many pet-sitters work alone, so what happens with your cats should the sitter not be able to attend? e Purrfect Cat Ladies have this covered as there are two members in the team. ey always go to the meet and greet together so that they both know what is needed while you’re away. en, if the allocated pet-sitter can’t make it for any reason, the other Purrfect Cat Lady can take over. It’s also very important to make sure that your chosen pet-sitter has the correct insurance, is DBS checked, can administer medicines, and has the experience and knowledge to know if your cat is o -colour and then know what to do. You can rest assured that the Purrfect Cat Ladies have all this covered. You can take a look at purrfectcatladies. co.uk or follow them on social media to see lovely stories about their home visits or those staying in the cattery. Contact the Purrfect Cat Ladies on WhatsApp or Messenger, or via the details opposite.

She was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2023, so didn’t plan to nish the book. However, with the support of the palliative care team at Oak Lodge and her daughter-in-law to oversee the artwork, Rosemary has now nished her book and it was published by Magic Flute Publications on 4th June. To celebrate, the Oak Lodge team bought her owers and gathered in Rosemary’s room with a glass of nonalcoholic red wine to congratulate her. Rosemary said: “After so many ups and downs, I can’t really believe it has happened.” Rosemary’s love of poetry was fuelled by her A-Level English course at Guernsey Ladies’ College, when she was introduced to The Six Sonnets by Gerard Manley Hopkins. She says it was Hopkins’ innovative use of ‘sprung rhythm’ that has been a life-long in uence on her own writing style. She began composing poetry at the age of 49, when she attended a writers’ retreat in Hampshire and these four poems gradually grew to form her rst book, Sonata in the Key third book, Like an Ever Rolling Stream, was published in 2016 just before her 67th birthday. Rosemary created all the paintings for her books over 10 years ago a er a painting-themed cruise, each one taking her two or more days to complete. However, as her illness causes shaking in her hands, she switched to sketches with pencils in order to complete the illustrations. Corin, Home Manager at Oak Lodge Bupa Care Home, said: “A wonderful, talented and humble lady! All poems and drawings are by Rosemary and the drawings were based on photos she brought with her from past holidays on cruise ships. It was lovely to be able to see her writing and drawing as she worked on this offering, and a particularly poignant moment when she mentioned that it is probably going to be her last book due to her diagnosis, but as we said to her, never say never! Rosemary is a great example of following your passion and purpose, no matter the barriers and obstacles life puts in your way.” Rosemary’s new book can be purchased here: www. thegreatbritishbookshop.co.uk/products/ships-passing Oak Lodge Bupa Care Home is situated in Southampton and welcomes residents in need of nursing or residential care including those living with dementia and Parkinson’s. of Life, published in the year 2000.
