This week has seen an explosion of fungi. Here are just a few we have spied. Incredible what is on our doorstep @Lafosseindorset #Cranborne. The village makes such a top base for exploring #dorset #wiltshire #Hampshire #NewForest

Our idyllic rural village has really had some upgrades in services this last month; village power supply upgraded, access to car charge points, now improved mobile. Just need @Wessex_Internet to finish their fibre installations.
Hats off to @VodafoneUK for swapping out defective comms kit on the new installation on the Church tower today. We have a working mobile service! 🙏 #cranborne

The menu features many fantastic @DorsetFoodDrink ingredients. We can accommodate dietary requirements if notified on booking too.
Planning your #Christmas get together with friends & family or a festive work get together. Remember we have 6 bedrooms too so you do not have to drive home.

Susan and I sold Tyddyn Llan at the beginning of February. The new owner is now looking to find a replacement for us. Ideally a couple, package of in excess £120,000 plus a four-bedroom, three-bathroom family house. Please repost or contact me if you know some suitable.

Recycled ground cover may not be ugly though benefits are; Minimal weeding required so no herbicides. Less watering, Less leaching, Warming of the soil, Protection for Sloe worms that eat our snails. As long as it’s removed prior to break down & secure from 💨 .
Is spring on its way? Despite the miserable damp weather it is not cold! The sea buckthorn is just breaking into leaf! Will this be the first year I can harvest the #diabetes helping superfood from it?🤞The cluster of #darlek s are forcing a few rhubarb crowns.

In a field in Dorset there is a hill with a door. This is the Earthouse, a 250-seat fire-lit theatre.

So sad to see yet another top #Dorset independent restaurant close. Follow the attached link to help hospitality firms survive, and or try and eat out when you can.
It's a very sad day. James is a great operator and @TerroirTapas is a amazing restaurant. It shows how tough it is out there. #CutVat Sign ✍️

This excellent videos is from “up north” but its message is not limited geographically! Please do support your local food & drink businesses which in turn support our local farmers. 🙏 retweet @Simon4NDorset @DorsetFoodDrink @CranborneChase @CranborneEstate @CranborneGarden
‘THIS IS AN EMERGENCY’ - MANCHESTER’S HOSPITALITY SCENE CALLS FOR GOVERNMENT TO REDUCE VAT TO 10% Our hospitality scene is in crisis. Restaurants across the country are closing at an alarming rate, and many chefs, owners and operators across Manchester are ‘on a cliff edge’.

As a “youngster” I travelled 25 miles to do a hydrological survey on this stretch of water. Little did I know that 30 years later I would own @Lafosseindorset a few miles upstream and the Crane just 5m from our front door!

Instead of aiding multi nationals during #BlackFriday why not support your local community instead; @alixcakesmith @sixpennybrewery @orchardbay @CranborneGarden @chase_bars Riverside logs, @Lafosseindorset, Cranborne Store, Sheaf of Arrows pub, WVS bookstore
