    Went for an all day walk with the Dorset Bird Club along part of the Eastern end of the Jurassic coastline on the Purbecks.

    Ruins of Winspit stone quarry.

            Ld, two of them are farmers but they seem to do anything but farm and I can't watch the two main presenters, it's definitely not the programme it used to be.

            Sadly its the same story with Gardeners world,they are to scared to really show the truth about things (GW peat free compost for example)
            (CF how most farm animals are kept factory style)
            The shows just become glossy magazine shows that don't really fit anywhere.
