The Abbot Street Copse in Pamphill is a wonderful place to visit.

Directions:
Pamphill is off the B3082 north of Wimborne. Turn left into Abbott Street (passing Pamphill Dairy on your right) take another left further up the hill into a tree lined avenue (to your right is St Stephen Church), park in the siding/car park here. Return to Abbott Street and walk up the hill, take the track to your left. Along teh track you will come to a style on your right which takes you a short distance across a field. This leads directly to the copse.
A beautiful Church, magnificent avenues of trees and a carpet of snowdrops.
Winter solstice turns the page breathing robin song.

Springtime in my garden

Oh, sure, the season officially arrived on the equinox, March 20! / Да, конечно, в отличие от календарной, астрономическая весна наступает позже - во время весеннего равноденствия -20 марта!
Метеорологическая и календарная весна начинается 1 марта, астрономическая – 21 марта.
А вот биологическая весна для некоторых уже началась!

Weekend, Creech, Wareham, Dorset, England.

From Creech...

An idyllic weekend trip to the countryside :-)...the perfect place . . . green rolling hills, old stone cottages, random sheep wandering about the narrow, winding roads and rustic footpaths.

If you ever feel the need to escape the city, find your way to the English countryside. The little village...farmers still building and maintaining stone walls by hand... years of history... Here time nearly stands still and the pace of life is relaxed... slowing down. Here you'll lose yourself in the greenest hills and country air . .

We fell in love with Creech Hill... the view is great!

Park the car...

"...you cannot find peace by avoiding life."

"The Hours (2002)" movie. Three women, one day, a connection.

"I can't fight any longer." Virgina Woolf, Here!

Global warming sceptics...

But...THE massive snowfall forecast for last night seems to have bypassed most of Dorset. Dorset escapes worst of snow.

White Hyacinths to feed thy soul.

Dreaming of a white New Year's?

...not a green one...
But it will be cold and it will be a holiday.

Christmas Day here...

Hyacinth is Coming! ...for Christmas.

Christmas is Coming!

...our front door.
