Great things are done by a series of small things brought together - Van Gogh





A garden, a church, a few cottages and some exceptional sunflowers (you need to click on the picture to find them): typical Dorset countryside.












A view through the trees, with a stream running through.












A close-up of the white house with more stone-roofed houses and cottages in the background, all in a picturesque summer setting.














If you fancied a short stay here there is always the Kings Head Hotel









from whence you may cross the road for a little shopping. At least you could have done when Woolworths looked like this back in the fifties








 and when greengrocers still inhabited small shops











and hairdressers were places for social discourse and the latest news.


This is a model town - a real model of Wimborne to be exact - where there is even more to enjoy, including lots more shops and a railway where you can press buttons and make the trains run
   






and dolls' houses to enchant even big children like you and me!
