Lovely memories from your pictures today, Pete. Friends of my late in-laws used to live in a house on Ibstone Common....I suspect it was the one to the top right of your photo!
I did a couple of miles from Abbotsbury towards West Bexington and back this afternoon. It was disappointingly cloudy after a blue skied morning.
