Walked past this house many times and at the moment the front garden's a little overgrown as it awaits its new owners do their thing. Meanwhile, it's perfect for #adoorablethursday and a door known to Thomas Hardy, he spent his last night in Sturminster Newton here with friends.

I've almost finished putting together a new talk for a November booking. It's quite an eclectic mix of stories that began when I bought a used notebook… speakernet.co.uk/talk/6324/addr…

Popped to Wareham today to take some photos of a church. I've driven past this place 1000s of times. It really is hidden treasure.




At Mum's today we were rummaging in a wardrobe and she handed me this small album. In it are lots of photos I hadn't seen. It was given by my paternal grandfather to my grandmother four years before they married. My dad's acting career was a short one…




Bidston Observatory, posted in 1901 to the Misses Owen: Dear Aunties, Aunty Mary arrived safe. Found every body all well. Let you know what train we will come by. #PostedInThePast
