This is usually the time of year when these fields will look at their best when they are yellow.

Went back on another walk heading north of Dorchester into the deep countryside and a few yellow fields.

It was one that you really had to get your eye into in order to get this one done, which we thankfully managed in the end.
This was quite a tricky one, as the image had so many little details that it was impossible to tell were certain bits were suppose to go. It didn't help that the little poster that came with it was the same size as the image on the box.

This week’s long walk 10.6 miles, took the train to Weymouth and walked back. Found a ‘new’ route up to the ridgeway, it’s probably the route of the Roman road between the towns. Despite some ominous clouds it was a nice walk😊 #Dorset #Walking
After having lunch at the top, we headed back down via Maiden Castle and eventually made it back to Dorchester.

You don't often see a Network Rail MPV in April, but here is one powering away from Dorchester South, on a round route via Weymouth and Yeovil.

Otter House tends to do some really good puzzles and this one was no exception. With a good quality image and some nice chunky pieces, it made for a refreshing change of pace after several challenging puzzles as of late.

It was a brief stop, but well worth the effort to come here.

I was definitely a nice day for a trip like this, especially for the one big reason that I will get to later...

This week’s long walk Dorchester to Piddlehinton. Lots of great views & fantastic blue skies. Ended up longer than expected as usual with these walks where a footpath used to cross a field it has been ploughed up so you’re diverted around the edges… there are some pretty big fields. #walking #Dorset
The Network Rail PLPR Test Train arriving at a slightly later time than usual.
