Large gathered to see the free show which marked the creation of the city’s cultural quarter. The the success of this event city leisure chiefs say the Midsummer Dreams show at Guildhall Square could be just the start of a series of similar shows.
John Hannides, council boss in charge of leisure, culture and heritage, promised this will be the first in a programme of events. International street dance acts, plays put on by local schools, open air theatre, light shows and orchestral performances are among the events that could soon hit Southampton streets.

Southampton's Historic Bargate Could Be A Cafe
In plans unveiled by Southampton City Council today the the 800-year-old Bargate could be transformed into a café and shops. For 100's of years it was the main gateway and entrance to Southampton and has, over the many many years been used to collect taxes, hold prisoners and even carry out executions! It has been suggested that one of the big name high street coffee house chains could even be brought in to operate the café which would be located on the first floor of the historic monument.
The controversial makeover has won the support of the guardians of the city’s heritage, but they warned any development must not detract from the landmark’s historical significance. The monument was reopened to the public four years ago by the Southampton Heritage Federation. The main room above the arch has been used as an art gallery since 2006 and curators A-Space have another three years left on their lease

House sales 'continuing to rise'
Continuing with the hopeful news regarding the housing market. It has reported today that the number of homes sold in the UK has infact continued to rise. According to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), some 62,000 residential properties costing more than £40,000 were sold in May, which is around 7% on the previous month of April. Is is reported that this figure is the highest since October of last year but obviously still well down on the level of transactions seen during the recent boom in the UK housing market.
This information is the latest to show a steady rise in interest from buyers, and following similar rises in mortgage approvals from lenders. Earlier in the week, the British Bankers' Association (BBA) reported the fact that there had been a steady rise in mortgage approvals over the last six months. The detailed showed that the number of approvals for house purchases by BBA members rose to 31,162 in May, up 15.8% compared with the same month a year ago.
The HMRC figures also reflect the typical "spring bounce" in the housing market, with buyers showing more interest at this time of year.

Southampton Old Town Gets Thumbs Up
Southampton today got the thumbs up as the 'Old Town' area of Southampton was recognised as one of the best looked after conservation areas in the country. Historical areas of interest include the Bargate, The City Walls and the Merchants House and are some of the best managed historical places in the whole of the UK. The praise comes from the English Heritage organisation. Southampton city council was today being recognised for its positive management of the conservation area and was handed one of eight awards given out to regional places of historical interest.
A spokes person for Southampton City Council was quoted as saying “Southampton City Council is delighted to be partnering English Heritage in the Heritage at Risk 2009 project, and continued “The Old Town North Conservation Area is made up of the northernmost part of the medieval town, and contains not only important standing monuments such as the Bargate, but also evidence of the earlier medieval and Victorian street pattern and tenement plots.

Hampshire Sailors
The round Britain and Ireland sailing record has been totally smashed by a team of sailors from Hampshire. The crew, which is all female crossed the finish line just off Ventnor on the Isle of Wight just after 9am this morning. The team, which also includes members from Hamble , beat the previous record by around 16 hours. They completed the voyage in six days, 11 hours and 30 minutes.
The crew, sailed around 2,500 nautical miles in order to complete their successful attempt. The boat sailed back into the English channel yesterday where it hit light winds and had been expected back at the start line anytime after 8am this morning.
Crew member Dee Caffari, who became the first person to sail solo non-stop both ways around the world earlier this year, now has another accolade to her ever growing career achievements.

First Time Home Buyers - How To Light Your First Garden
Some more great tips for you first time home owners from Dibben and Dibben. Now that the summer is fast approaching all of you first time home owners will be spending more and more time in your garden and as the nights get warmer you will be staying out in your garden later and later. So how can you effective light and illuminate your garden for the night time. It is true to say that if you get it right, garden lighting can create a truly wondrous atmosphere at night. And it means that outdoor living and entertaining can be extended long after the sun goes down..
One very simple way is by using candles or the naked flame. The flickering light given off by candles is both charming and tranquil some might even say romantic. Clusters of night lights in small holders look spectacular when lining either a pathway to set of small steps or even on a low lying wall top.
For the more exotic why not try the paper concertina-style Japanese lanterns in an array of stunning colours, or even the traditional retro style style lanterns with its heavy brass and glass. Not only are these items very decorative and attractive but they are also practical because their flames are protected from wind and breezes.
The other option and one that is becoming more popular is that of garden flares and oil-burning torches. These look spectacular when grouped together either large clay pots or simple steel buckets filled with sand, (remember to space them a safe distance apart from each other). They too are also designed to withstand a certain amount of wind and breeze. Garden flares will burn for several hours and many can be impregnated with citronella or eucalyptus oil, which will help keep mosquitoes and gnats at bay which is always a bonus.
So that is candle light and flame and whilst these are very pretty they are not permanent and are at the mercy of the elements. As an alternative you might want to consider a more permanent solution to lighting your garden. An extremely cheap option for this, is that you could go for solar-powered lights, which don’t require any wiring or complex installation.
Solar powered lighting can be found on sale at most garages and some even given them away when you buy fuel for your car. Solar-powered lights need no wiring as they store the energy of sunlight in a battery. They are not a very powerful light source, so if you want to light an area of any size, you’ll need quite a few of them. As their power runs out, then so does their light, bringing a somewhat natural end to an evening in your garden.
However should you opt to put in a wired solution for lighting your garden you must at all times consider the safety aspect of doing this and remember if you do not feel you have the electric skills to do this call in an expert. As a general rule of thumb try to opt for a low-voltage system as these are fairly easy to install and are much safer.
Low-voltage systems take their power via a transformer which steps down the electrical supply to a very low voltage. This means that even if you cut through a low-voltage cable accidentally, there’s no risk of electrocution. Nonetheless, it is not a bad idea to run them in some protective conduit and bury them to avoid tripping or accidental damage. It should go without saying that all outdoor electrical fittings must be fully weatherproof and suitable for the location that you are installing them in..
Low voltage lights (because they are so easy to install) have become very popular and now come in many different shapes, sizes and colours Low-voltage recessed lights are very elegant along walls, down steps, or even set into decking, emitting a glow that is bright enough to illuminate the general surrounding area without creating blinding upward shafts of light. If your outdoor space has a large tree or a pergola you could try and create a night-time canopy of twinkling stars with low-voltage weatherproof net lights.
Now that is what I call romantic!

Duck Is Off The Menu
A duck has become a main attraction at a restaurant in Hampshire and not because it is served up with a rich plum sauce. Crispie, is the adopted name of an Aylesbury duck, which has become a regular fixture at The Mill at Gordleton in Hordle, near Lymington, restaurant owner Liz Cottingham said. Initially the duck was taken in by Terri Seabright, The Mill's manager, in August 2007 when her Crispie's mother abandoned her.
Just dont mention the a'lorange sauce !!!

Ms Cottingham was quoted in the local press as saying : "I have people calling to book a table and asking, 'Is Crispie going to be there?'" . She continued: "When I say no, they say they will come tomorrow instead.
and in closing said; "Terri has to leave half an hour before she intends to because people just keep stopping her to talk to the duck."
Everyone really thinks; "Crispie is really cute and little kids just adore her.Just dont mention the a'lorange sauce !!!

Hampshire Bats Saved From Eviction
As reported in the local Hampshire press today a family of Hampshire bats threatened with eviction have had their future secured. The colony of bats was in danger after Hampshire County Council said it had wanted to sell off a barn that the bats had adopted as their Hampshire home. Following some intense lobbying by the Hampshire Bat Group and the famous Hampshire television presenter Chris Packham the council this week withdrew the property, in Warsash, from sale.
Colleen Mainstone, from the Hampshire Bat Group, said was quoted saying; "the family of 30 brown longeared bats had used the barn for a number of years to give birth and raise their young." It has been reported that sat least three other species, including pipistrelle and serotine bats, have also been spotted.
The barn is used by the neighbouring Titchfield Haven National Nature Reserve wardens to store fencing materials and equipment used to manage a reserve. The council has now made a pledge to enhance the roost and promote its educational potential for the local Hampshire residents to enjoy and learn more about the bat colony.

Proposed Rail Expansion Plan For Hampshire
It has been revealed today in the local press that train companies want a new £73million rail link across the heart of the New Forest, Hampshire . It has been proposed that under a plan backed by South West Trains that two new stations would open and a tracking running a line straight through the National Park would be put into place. The scheme has been put forward as they expect rail passenger numbers to soar over the next couple of years. It has been suggested that up to £70million would be ploughed in to the creating a station at Ringwood and revamp the track to Brockenhurst.
And on the Waterside, the line between Hythe and Totton would be opened to rail passengers for the first time in years. That scheme would only cost around £3million because the line is still operational but at the moment in mainly used just by freight trains.
The proposal, put forward by the Association of Train Operating Companies, has identified the two towns as main population centres which currently have no passenger rail services.
Author Chris Austin has been quoted as saying "idea could become reality within five to ten years. "

Hampshire School Gets £696,000 Boost
Thorndean school in Chandler’s Ford Hampshire is pumping £696,000 into sports facilities which will benefit both the students and indeed the local community. It has be outlined that the money will be used to put in a new floor, redecorate and extend the existing sports hall and to also include a conference room at the school. Head teacher Robert Sykes was quoted as saying: “This is excellent news for both pupils and community groups. This is something we have wanted to do for a long time."
“Sport benefits pupils because of the skills involved in learning an activity and the positive health effects. With better floors and facilities it will help our sports teams take things to the next level.”
He went on to say the school had demonstrated real sporting talent, with a badminton team that won the national finals and came seventh in an international competition. He said better facilities would help emerging sportsmen fine-tune their skills.
Funding for this very ambitious project has come from the school’s own funding, with a contribution from Hampshire County Council.

As the festival goers begin to arrive, Hampshire police were stepping up their operation to ensure it remains as safe and crime-free as possible. Campers are also being offered free biodegradable security bags so they can safely store valuables in their tents.
Isle of Wight Operations Inspector Terry Clawson said police have spent months planning with organisers and organisers preparing for the event, which runs until Sunday night.
“The event has a reputation as a good natured, family friendly event, but we must always prepare thoroughly for our role in maintaining safety and security amongst such a large gathering,” he said. “Although the festival has low levels of crime, police are putting a series of measures in place aimed at preventing and reducing thefts from people camping at the event.”
After a man was jailed in April for selling fake wristbands to get into the 2007 event, organisers have again promised to crack down on counterfeits. “I would urge anyone without a genuine ticket not to be tempted by any cut price alternatives,”

Plans for a waterfront arena for Southampton
A state of the art10,000-seat arena – similar in scale to the Echo Arena Liverpool – is the centrepiece of a grand new vision to redevelop Southampton’s Royal Pier and Mayflower Park. International A-list music acts, indoor sport events and temporary exhibitions could all be hosted at the stunning waterfront venue. A convention centre, casino and observation tower with views over the docks could also be incorporated in the new masterplan, which won’t be unveiled to the public until the Southampton Boat Show in September.
Under early plans presented to Southampton City Council, the arena will be at the heart of a development that could also feature restaurants, shops and some housing.
“We are not going to be a Wembley Arena or The O2, but we could realistically attract an audience of eight, nine or ten thousand given the right events.”
The plans are being drawn up by Scottish-based developers Kilmartin, who were last July awarded an 18-month exclusivity contract to create a masterplan for the waterfront around Royal Pier and Mayflower Park.

Is a UK economic recovery in sight?
Some very welcome news for us all in the property business today as UK output sees surprise increase. UK industrial output rose unexpectedly in April - the first month-on-month climb since February 2008, official figures have shown. Output rose by 0.3% from the previous month, the Office for National Statistics said. Analysts had been expecting output to fall by 0.1%. Manufacturing rose 0.2% in April, which was also an unexpected increase.
Meanwhile, a respected research institute has forecast that the UK economy may be at a turning point. T he National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) has estimated that UK economy resumed growth in April and May after a sharp decline of 1.9% in the three months to March.
Martin Weale, director of NIESR, was reported as saying that he "expects the official figures to show either that the recession is over or that it is close to over" in the second quarter of 2009.

Gosport MP to put duck house in charity auction
Disgraced Hampshire MP Sir Peter Viggers has announcce that he will auction his notorious duck house for charity. The £1,600 pond ornament was thrust into the spotlight after it was revealed Sir Viggers paid for it using the money he had claimed on MP's expenses. Although the Stockholm duck house would normally only be expected to fetch a few hundred pounds if sold second-hand, there is a real possibility this particular one may go for far more for if collectors want something from the MPs' expenses scandal.
Apparently more than a dozen local charities have asked Sir Peter to donate the duck house. He said: "I've replied to the dozen or so people that have enquired that my wife and I are minded, in due course, to sell the thing for charity. "But in the present atmosphere we are letting the dust settle. We've had a lot of approaches and we aren't committing to this yet."
It does however seem the RIGHT thing to do !!!!

Move Evidence That Interest In Property Is 'Up Again'
Rising interest from potential buyers coupled with falling numbers of sellers is stabilising UK house prices, according to surveyors. New buyer inquiries increased for the seventh month in a row in May - at the fastest rate since 1999, said the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. But there were fewer sellers, continuing a trend of the last two years, the survey found. Two other surveys recently reported a rise in house prices in May.
The Rics survey, which has been running since 1978, takes a snapshot of the degree of confidence in the market from surveyors and estate agents across the UK. They reported that average sales were at their highest level since August last year.
However, at 11.8 properties sold per surveyor in the last three months, this remained 31% down on the same period a year earlier.
Rics members again suggested a further increase in potential new buyers window shopping for property, most notably in Scotland, London and the south-east of England.

Winchester's Race for Life
If you where in Winchester yesterday will not not have been able to miss this. River Park was a sea of pink yesterday as women and girls of all ages and fitness abilities gathered for the city’s sixth annual Race for Life. Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life is the largest women-only fundraising event in the UK. Since 1994, women of all ages and fitness levels across the UK have come together at these inspiring events.
Some take part in celebration of surviving a cancer experience. Others take part in memory of a loved one or to give hope to a cancer-free future. But all of them share a common goal: to raise money for Cancer Research UK’s pioneering work to beat cancer. Every pound raised in sponsorship goes towards our vital work. This includes funding the work of over 4,500 scientists, doctors and nurses who are dedicated to help more people beat cancer.
An impressive 2,350 women took part in the 5k event to raise an estimated £157,000 for Cancer Research UK. Many of those walking or running the three-mile route around River Park chose to shun traditional sportswear, opting instead for eye-catching outfits and plenty of pink accessories.

Signs Of Recovery For The Housing Market
As reported over the weekend in the UK Press new figures confirm that the housing market is recovering and that the fall in house prices is beginning to level off. The Times are quoted as saying : One swallow doesn’t make a summer, but how about two? After the Nationwide reported a 1.2% rise in house prices in May, the Halifax went one better, saying they rose by 2.6%. The two measures differ on the year-on-year fall, the Nationwide’s 11.3% contrasting with the Halifax’s 16.3%, but they are telling a similar story. Are house prices bouncing back as quickly as they fell?
I don’t think so, and it would not be good news if they did. The housing market is slowly coming back to life after having its lifeblood, mortgage availability, cut off. The last thing we need is for prices to start surging again and it is unlikely that they will. Both Halifax and Nationwide attached health warnings to their numbers.
Nonetheless, a consistent story is now emerging in the housing market. Activity is slowly recovering and the fall in house prices is beginning to level off. A semblance of normality returning.

Planning Your First Garden
For all first-time home owners there are many new exciting challenges but perhaps one of the most rewarding of these is in planning your first garden. Many people look upon their garden as an extra room in the house, so getting it right is very important. So, before you start – just stop! Most people will simply drive off to the local DIY and garden centre and go and buy whatever they first lay their eyes on. Do not fall into this trap. Whilst is it very tempting to rush out and do this, it's a really good idea to take some time, sit down and begin planning your first garden project. Here are some simple things to bear in mind and they should ensure your first garden project is a not only huge success but very very rewarding..
Only plant your garden for your needs. This is important. If you have a very small garden but plant a large, strong fast growing tree or, you soon will not have any garden left, just an overpowering tree or bush. Or if you have a young family or even a cat or a dog, flowers like sweet peas are beautiful and very pretty to look at, but ultimately these plants are poisonous and could cause your family harm. Your first garden needs to be a safe place to be in.
Remember to only choose the plants that will do well in your area. It is always far easier just to work with plants that like the climate and the soil that you have. Ignoring this means that you will be spending time endlessly watering and weeding just to try and keep them from dying. A little research right at the beginning of the project will go a long way and save you lots of time later on
Prepare the soil in your garden before you start to do any planting. Working in a couple bags of garden manure or bedding compost into your garden before there is anything planted is fairly easy and relatively painless. Do this now as attempting to repair the soil once you have already planted and your plants are established is a massive task. Any wise gardener will tell you that the real trick to having a fantastic garden is by having healthy soil. With healthy soil your garden will be healthier and you will certainly have fewer problems with plant diseases, and aggressive weeds.
Finally know and understand just how much light your garden will get. You may have planned and planted a brilliant garden but if there is not enough sunlight for the planting you have chosen (or indeed in some case too much light) then your garden will never work. The right planting needs the right light, too much or too light and you will need to re-think your project.
However remember, gardens do not appear over-night – they are a long term investment. If you do not quite get it right this time around, there is always next time. Part of the fun of planning your first garden is actually learning as you go – seeing what works for you and indeed what works for your garden. With a little thought and planning your garden will be a great success.

Job Creation In Fareham
A MULTI-MILLION pound makeover for a superstore has given a big jobs boost to a Hampshire town. More than 50 jobs will be created when Asda launches its new-look store in Fareham on June 29. The store, which is also celebrating its 21st birthday, is in the final stages of the massive improvements which are costing £7.3 million.

The store’s general manager Mike Stafford said: “This has been such a big project and our customers have been really patient as we’ve worked round them to ensure that the store stayed open and caused minimum disruption.

D-Day runners stop off in Titchfield for a cuppa
As reported in the local Hampshire press today, armed with bacon and eggs, one branch of the Women’s Institute leapt into action to feed the troops as they invaded a quiet Hampshire village. The Titchfield branch launched a successful mission and fed all 200 soldiers taking part in a 65-mile run from Dorset to Northern France to commemorate D-Day. Stopping for a well-earned rest at Titchfield Community Centre at 5am yesterday, the runners enjoyed a cooked breakfast while getting some much-needed treatment for their feet.
The charity dash follows the same route that British troops embarked upon in June 1944, from Tarrant Rushton to seize the Pegasus bridge in Normandy a day later, the first combat operation of the D-Day landings.
Every runner was wearing a T-shirt bearing the name of one of the 186 infantry soldiers involved in the operation.

New Forest bikers are speeding off to Casablanca
Some adventurous bikers are aiming to raise thousands for a charity based in the New Forest Hampshire – by riding all the way to Casablanca and back. Four fundraisers, from mobile phone makers Sony Ericsson, are setting off in July and aim to ride all the way to the Moroccan city and back in just a week – a round trip of 2,600 miles. This means an average of about 375 miles per day some of it in very hot conditions. Team Bumblebee, consisting of Jason Smith, Paul Hobson, Chris Round and Simon Beech, are taking on the gruelling challenge to raise £10,000 for the Forest-based Honeypot charity, which helps vulnerable children throughout the country.
As spokeman for the team said : "We all like our home comforts, however to make the challenge even harder we are going to sleep under the stars, so will also need to carry all of our equipment on the bikes."
"The ride will truly be a test of our stamina, will power and the plain old ability to keep going! We will have no support apart from each other and what we can carry on our normal road going bikes (no adventure bikes here!)."

UK house prices 'up 2.6% in May'
Good news for the Estate Agents and the housing marketing as UK house prices rose by 2.6% in May compared with April but activity remains low in the market, according to the latest survey from the Halifax. The lender, now part of the Lloyds Banking Group, warned against placing too much weight on one month's figures. The rise came after three successive months of property price falls, it said. The annual rate of decline has now eased to 16.3% from 17.7% in April.
The average UK home now costs £158,565, the figures showed. Prices in the last three months compared with the previous three months are generally regarded as a less volatile measure of the housing market. "There are some tentative indications of a possible stabilisation in activity, albeit at a low level," said Nitesh Patel, the group's housing economist.
"It is always important not to place too much weight on any one month's figures. Historically, house prices have not moved in the same direction month after month even during a pronounced downturn." He pointed to the fall in house prices of 11% during 1991 and 1992, during which time there were still five monthly price rises.
The Bank of England reported earlier in the week that the number of new mortgages approved for home buyers in the UK had risen in April for the third month in a row.
