The Legend goes down well. I totally understand the regional beer stamp, as from a Dorset perspective Palmers (Good), Badger (Ok). St Austell ales are very common, not Dartmoor😊

Good result in the end, still 2 more games😊

I’m feeling more relaxed with Pompey, another win earlier today, but yes City just need to win the last 3 games to give the best chance of survival. Actually, Plymouth can do you a favour today at Wimbledon😊

A robin in a nest it has made in the folds of an outdoor table umbrella

Over the weekend, one of the tables outside the tea room at Arlington Court, Devon, was cordoned off - because a robin built a cosy little nest inside the umbrella!

To give them some peace and avoid disturbance, we've temporarily closed off the area until they choose to move on.

Who owns England? New plans make it a lot easier to find out The new Land Use Framework includes plans to open up HM Land Registry, and reveal exactly who owns land in England and Wales…

Enjoyable afternoon, had not appreciated how much historical information can be derived from a postcard😊

Beavers ‘breathe new life’ into Dorset as dams built and biodiversity returns National Trust says one year after reintroduction they are enriching habitats and may be having kits this summer They were released this time last year with fanfare, much hope and also, perhaps, a little trepidation. Twelve months on, there have been ups and downs for the first beavers to be (officially) reintroduced into the wild in England since the semiaquatic mammals were hunted to extinction 400 years ago.

Excellent capture, the odds of both together must be very low😊
