Quite an interesting county Somerset as the range of things to see and areas to visit is huge, especially if one includes the old county boundary, now North Somerset, and Bath and North East Somerset.

I didn't realise it was so high (I'm sure it isn't in flood here). I was supposed to go otter poo hunting last Sunday but we had to postpone as all the poo would have been washed away with that awful weather on Saturday. Trying again this Sunday. Fiddleford looks lovely ... I've never stopped and walked here (but will now). Bulbarrow is a favourite of mine. Great "hare" watching nearby as well! So, if you move to Dorset does that mean you will have to become a trusty of DWT as well??? :) Janeurbanextensionhttp://urbanextension.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654691964232673096.post-37624832587774962232009-01-21T08:56:00.000+00:002009-01-21T08:56:00.000+00:00That should have been "trustee"... but &...That should have been "trustee"... but "trusty" sounds good as well!urbanextensionhttp://urbanextension.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654691964232673096.post-58797281312451392392009-01-21T20:45:00.000+00:002009-01-21T20:45:00.000+00:00Aye it's a good part of Dorset up there Jane, ...Aye it's a good part of Dorset up there Jane, we're a funny breed us wildlife watchers, fancy spending a saturday hunting for poo...
