Nice Sunday morning for a run around Poole Park and past the Old Gunpowder House at Baiter #Poole

It was busy on Glastonbury Tor this evening at sunset. It was so lovely to see the town so busy today with people enjoying the sunshine. Spring has definitely arrived.

Friday afternoon sunlight peeping though the cloud #Poole #Dorset

That “happy-tearful state of delight” is a perfect description, and is the same feeling I had with Detectorists and to some extent Worzel. He creates food for the soul.

Yes, definitely a little darker, but still full of the same humour.

Stopped 3 episodes in and will probably binge the rest this eve!

Using a day off to watch Small Prophets - typical Mackenzie Crook brilliance - wonderful characters, the usual subtle humour, heartwarming touching moments and the cinematography & music as perfect as always. Pearce Quigley & Michael Palin 👌

Cliff collapse at Stonebarrow closes South West Coast Path Dorset Council says it has closed the coast path and is working on a diversion.

A great (and slightly odd) pub!

A peaceful spot to sit and relax - Chapman’s Pool #Dorset

Chapman’s Pool on the Purbeck coast near Worth Matravers - a lovely little remote cove that’s well worth a visit (note it’s a bit of a hike down and back) when the weather is nicer. Views from the coast path as you come from St Albans Head are particularly impressive #Dorset

Really looks like Fernando Torres with goals like that 😍

I’m not sure how true but I heard it was offered to St Paul’s, Westminster and Salisbury before ending up in Wareham!

St Martin is also home to the effigy of TE Lawrence, sculpted by Eric Kennington, given to the church in 1939 by his brother. Lawrence used to visit the church when living in his small cottage at Clouds Hill whilst stationed nearby in Bovington. He is buried at St Nicholas, Moreton. #Dorset

St Martin on the Wall - Wareham - without doubt my favourite Dorset church.
Dating from 1020AD, it’s a wonderful little church with its “Saxon”-style nave & chancel, a lovely Norman chancel arch, 12th Century frescos in the chancel and later wall paintings throughout.
#Dorset

I’ve just seen that too - such a vivid blue glass gem!

Garum and the Roman World: the fish sauce that helped to build an empire — ELEANOR SCOTT ARCHAEOLOGY … Suffice to say that garum , a humble fishy condiment, helps us to understand and humanise these economic processes, from the lives of fishers and their boats and nets to the free and enslaved worke...

I was only reading about Roman use of garum earlier today: eleanorscottarchaeology.com/els-archaeol...

Oh wow! Such a lovely find from a site with an array of fascinating material.
