Away Day - Part II

Well, it's patently obvious that someone has been 'spilling the beans' as this morning's 'hit count' rocketed to 2,769!! No need to hide whoever you are, we will not be meeting out any punishment, in fact there is a pint of fine ale, or a Pimms Number One standing on the bar within the Red Lion, Bristol to be enjoyed at you convenience with Our Hearty Thanks and all other valued readers please feel at liberty to follow suit!

The second part of the adventure covered a mish-mash of locations, names mostly forgotten, but did start at an almost devoid

SILVER LAKEs
where the wind had taken its toll on the new bird-hide, now on its side, and very little Wildlife was seen, and while we are not usually given to publishing those that we missed the absent
GOOSANDER
images are surely worthy of an airing?

On our way to Wareham Forest this presumed
Vintage Car
caught our eye not knowing the identity but looking more modern than first considered?
Within the wooded area
there were signs of fire damage soon overlooked
by movement within this
HOLLY BUSH
which proved to be my fist proven
REDWING
for this end of the year
stimulating hopes that we will record one, or more, on our 'own patch' soon.
Leaving the Forest we encountered one of the most beautiful, vivaceous and exciting ladies it has ever been our pleasure to meet who we did chat to for a full 20 minutes - WOW! but in Genesis jargon,
It's one o'clock and time for lunch (hum de dum de dum)
When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench, you can always hear them talk.
Cus me, I'm just a lawnmower, you can tell me by the way I walk!

I Know What I Like in Your Wardrobe - Genesis

and roundly agreed that the

FRAMPTON ARMS - MORTON
would fit the bill bringing back memories of a fairly recent visit with an ex-ladyfriend, and frequent visits back in the '60 when Weymouth friends had an old clapped ou Buick 6. In those days 'Dusty' Miller was the landlord who always had a freezer full of 'road-kill' for the more discerning!
Even more Nice people, Best Quality Food along with Professional Service!
All to short we ended our jaunt at the
Bere Regis Watercress Beds
where the wind had become even more fierce but seeing both
GREY WAGTAIL
and
LITTLE EGRET
before the parting of the ways - GREAT to see you my Friend.
