saturday was MOT day so we had a drive back to melplash in dorset to the garage we have been using ever since we bought pippin~our man simon spcialises in h vans and we trust no-one else with our special van...and he always has other h vans parked up to investigate!
above are the gate houses for the drax estate, situated between blandford-forum and dorchester~the walls surrounding the estate go on for miles
yesterday we had a collection of horse drawn coaches come through the village and it was quite a sight and the noise made by the hooves and wheels was pretty spectacular~ i am hoping it becomes a yearly event
