Fancy something new to boost your fitness? Wi******er Pilates Studio Ltd on Middle Brook Street, is celebrating 18 months under the ownership of former professional horse rider, Sam Parsons.

Sam discovered Pilates 15 years ago after a horse-riding injury. Impressed by the improvements in her strength and mobility, she trained as an instructor and joined Wi******er Pilates as a member 12 years ago. Two years later, she became a regular instructor. When the previous owners retired in December 2022, Sam took over the business.

Since then, Sam and her team have expanded the studio space, introduced a wider range of classes, and brought in new equipment and teachers.

These hands are checking puzzles - and they're just one pair of hands among 50 local volunteers aged from 14 to 86 who volunteer at Oxfam Wi******er's High Street shop. They sort, price, clean, serve on the shop counter and do lots of other jobs besides.

This week is Volunteers' Week and we want to say a big thank-you to them and to all the other people who help local charities and organisations flourish by giving their time - for free.

A very big well done to the team from Prince's Mead School in Kings Worthy who donned neon tutus and face glitter and successfully completed London Moonwalk, an overnight marathon walk organised by Walk the Walk to raise funds for breast cancer support.

The team, of teachers and staff trained for months after school across the South Downs National Park. They raised £5,500. Many city landmarks were lit up in pink especially for the event.

We've found a really special place where we treat ourselves every now and then because everyone deserves to have a little bit of the five-star treatment sometimes.

And Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire, England's spa is very five-star indeed. Not only does it have the most beautiful pool we've swum in anywhere in Hampshire, but the pool extends outside to a large thallasotherapy pool so you can bubble away in the open air to your hearts content or sit back on one of the loungers with one of the infused waters that are offered while you do that.

The changing rooms are palatial and beautiful. The sauna and steam room are lovely, and there's complimentary tea and coffee and pastries by reception so you can indulge from the moment you walk in.

You'll find an enormous fluffy robe in your locker and endless fluffy towels to snuggle in too. Everything is done so well here, it makes you feel like you're living it up like royalty, And that's exactly how we felt while we were there.
