I dragged the tree trunk off the fence today and got it into the hollow was I had discussed with owner of the field. I also dragged out another tree trunk that was really rotten and been brought down by the ash at the same time. Both will be left as an offering to mother nature and the insects. I also got a little video, but then my phone battery went flat, so just took some photo’s before I left.
We walked up to Golden Cap today, it is quite impressive, even on a grey and slightly misty day. Apparently it’s 191 m above sea level.
We visiting Ringstead Bay last weekend, it’s a very pretty part of the world, we also happened to catch a lovely sun set too. Don’t go and visit, as it’s currently quite unspoilt!
At Apple Day (at the orchard) I got the opportunity to use to traditional drawknife to shape a blank for the making of a wooden cutlery knife.
We paid to visit to Chesil Beach yesterday, it was a lovely day (when the sun was shining).
I collected some stone slabs from a neighbour today. It was a bit of fun as it was an excuse to drive up a footpath for access to their back garden.
We went to West Bay the other afternoon, I took a photo, then Google decided it needed jazzing up somewhat, so the wild colours are NOT real, it didn’t look like that at all, though it was nice down there, if a little windy. It’ll probably be one of the last visits where we have the beach almost to ourselves.
I ddid Gascoigne Lane again at the weekend. The southern crossing I skipped as it looked very deep, which gave me confidence that the northern most crossing would have been less washed out during winter and would be easily passable. So I headed into the northern one and soon realised that my feet were getting wet, so it was deeper than I’d hoped.
Dorset Land Rover Club ran a Pay and Play at a site in Crossways. I got to go at member price because they have an agreement with Woolbridge. Then i and got stuck in a deep bit of water. I was pulled out and went off again having fun. Though i still have the issue and am not really any the wiser as to what it is. Though i think i blame the gearbox, so will be pulling that out next. Though i might remove the rear prop shaft first fo rule out the rear diff.
We visited a house where the owners have been re-wilding a few feilds around their property and trying to encourage the wildlife back. It was stunning and lovely to wander through their garden, they’ed clearly spent a lot of time and effort achiving this wild garden and as wide a varity of habitats as possible.
