This is a bit more of Dorset countryside looking north from a viewpoint at Canford not far from our new home at Broadstone:
and this is the River Stour where it passes Canford School a stone's throw from Wimborne,
a placid scene even in February where single sculls grace the water.
I have the greatest admiration for the female of the species whose dress (click to enlarge) was not my idea of what to wear on a freezing cold day.
Just below the suspension bridge on which we stood the river changed character at a weir which turned the calm waters into a frenzy of foam and rushing waves.
Whatever the weather it makes a fine country scene,
to which is added Canford Church, by the school gates, which contains this wonderful bust of one William Rodney of whom I have yet to learn anything at all:
a bit of detective work for you!
