King of the World
There are moments in childhood when you feel like the king of the world.
Even though you aren’t and never will be, you should never forget these moments!

Fleet Old Church
Did J. Meade Falkner imagine the Mohunes’ tomb to be beneath this little church?
I neither saw nor heard Colonel John ‘Blackbeard’ Mohune that August evening – but that doesn’t necessarily mean anything...August 2026 Fleet/Dorset

Chapmans Pool, Isle of Purbeck, Dorset.
I might have got a better picture of the pool, if I had a better head for heights.
I'm intrigued by that promontory, off in the distance. It seems to be pointing in the wrong direction.

Good night, smugglers!
Moonfleet Manor in the evening light during a hike along the coastal path near Fleet - just as J. Meade Falkner might have done over 120 years ago...

Side trip
The coastal path near Fleet is perfect for long walks.
In the evening light, these can easily turn into proper hikes, because you simply can’t get enough of the atmosphere - even when there’s a cold beer waiting in the pub...

Goodnight, Fleet
If you wander through the countryside around Fleet at sunset, you can just about make out John Trenchard and Elzevir Block out of the corner of your eye, fleeing across the fields and hiding behind the walls...

A 2013 weekend break in #Dorset and a visit to #Lulworth during that for #MeerMittwoch this week. Out of view just to the left is the famous Durdle Door, recently seen in the second season of The Sandman standing in for ancient Greece.

Here's a wider shot of a southern marsh, with (surprise, surprise) Southern Marsh Orchids. Oh, and cotton grass, naturally. When I spot a bit of bog like that, can't resist getting into the squelchy bits for a closer look.

Greenland has been in the news a bit lately, so we took a toddle over today to see what all the fuss is about.

Friends coming round for dinner this evening, so posting a bit early for #WildflowerHour
Not a flower yet, admittedly, but most botanical excitement this week was finding this Early Spider-orchid rosette at Durlston Country Park, first I've seen this year. There will be thousands of them in bloom in a few months. Nationally rare but locally abundant in #Purbeck, #Dorset, and very wonderful. A promise of spring.
-
Not sure if it was a late breakfast or an early lunch but it was very tasty! Great view too 😃

We certainly have some interesting events down here, even though things never seem to change a lot

They are now grazing pigs (domestic, not wild) on the Purbeck Heaths. We came across this little family of them last night on the way back from birdwatching. They were very friendly; one of them (out of shot as he? stood beside me) was up for a rub and a scratch. We left the mummy and piglets alone, though they all trooped past the stopped car with no fear, mummy pushing right into the furze, snuffling around for whatever they eat out there. A wonderful encounter!

Along the coast from us for #MeerMittwoch, this is the natural, limestone arch of Durdle Door in Lulworth Cove, Dorset. This was from a visit to our neighbouring county in 2013.

And they're off! ... The Purbeck Early Spider-orchids are starting to flower. First the bud unfurls, and then before they fill out like a round spider-body, they're like Tellytubbies

Flooding at Corfe Castle, on the main road that's one of the only routes into or out of eastern Purbeck/Swanage

#Sunset over #LulworthCove last night. Last week-long away in the van for this year and it's absolutely stunning

What a fabulous way to end the weekend - Seth Lakeman on stage at the Big Barn. Superb. Every time. Superb. What a musician.

I’ve only ever been to one Music Festival. This is my fourth year. Every year these two have been here and I’m still not sure how I feel about them. Are they narcissistic, attention seeking people or are they just ahead of everyone else in being able to express themselves? You decide. I’m too scared to ask them 😃
The music has been top notch. The people lovely. Purbeck Valley Folk Festival. #PVFF #PurbeckValleyFolkFestival #Purbeck #Dorset #LiveMusic #sunday

Somehow I missed this, until I happened to be on YouTube just as #Coldcut were doing their thing yesterday. #Perenco suffered an oil spill at Wytch Farm in Purbeck last month.

The rainfall rollercoaster continues…
March was another mild month but a very wet one with almost double the average local rainfall for east #Dorset. This is even more remarkable following such a dry February. Over the past year or two, the swings from dry to wet months have been quite extreme, which appears to be another effect of #ClimateChange in Southern #England.

Bee Orchid rosette - one of several - this afternoon in a #Purbeck churchyard. Similar to Early Spider Orchid rosettes, which are abundant round here, but they are smaller and have more like 6-8 leaves
