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.
I have borrowed a trail camera from a kind neighbour, we’ve got a goodnumber of rubbish clips of hedgehogs, it’s a joint failure of both myself and the hedgehog, ether it walks too close to the camera or I put the camera in the wrong place, who knows, I did leave a note out for it.. Na, I didn’t really, I know they can’t read good (Ever seen Zoolander?). The Hedgehog: And the fox:
Went out in the evening to do a few of the local lanes, one I haven’t done before and to show a local fella some of those that I knew. I didn’t get much footage, only this one nice picture towards the top of the hill here:
