Ashmore, the highest village in Dorset
Just in case you think that I do nothing except visit local hostelries, a few words about the Dorset walks arranged by the redoubtable Ms.Liz Thornthwaite for the East Dorset Heritage Trust. These take place every month, they are of a minimum 8 miles and Liz has never repeated a walk in 16 years! What a lady! The November walk wandered through lanes and villages South of Ashmore on a most beautiful late Autumn day. Liz always has a feast of information for us on the history of the area. Here she is addressing her admirers after a leisurely lunch under a shady oak. A great day which included a peep across the fields at Madonna's local pad!
