Just back from Arne in Dorset. A lovely spot and now a regular couple of days in the early summer. Arne is a wonderful R.S.P.B. reserve, went looking for Dartford Warblers only a fleeting glimpse but did see a Firecrest (first one for me for years). It was lucky I didn’t drive the last part in Dorset because the unexpected sighting was a Lesser Spotted Woodpecker on a post-I would of crashed the van in my excitement! Enjoyed visiting T.E. Lawrence sites in Dorset one of my Dad’s heroes! We also revisited Thomas Hardy as well.

Full on three weeks coming up with gigs in wonderful settings-more next time but I better now settle down to learn my stories!
