ST. ALDHELM'S HEAD | 12th October 2021
This remarkable chapel at St. Aldhelm's Head was built in the 13th Century! It is still in use today, and sits on the windswept headland. Note the large buttresses keeping the seriously bowed wall from collapsing!
CAMPSITE DIORAMA | 24th September 2021
My latest project for BRM (British Railway Modelling) was to create a small diorama around the theme 'Campsite'. Naturally, I turned to my childhood memories of camping over on the Isle of Purbeck. I vividly remember running down the steep country lane whenever I heard the shrill of a locomotive whistle!
On the diorama you can even see a model of the trailer tent we once owned - albeit in 'transport' mode with everything packed away. I have many happy memories, and as a nod to one of them, we have a bakery trailer. The real thing was a bread van that used to come to the campsite every week
