End of the Season

So we have reached the end of 2010 season, there were a few intrepid campers right to the very end. Yesterday there was a beautiful and perfect rainbow almost, it felt, encircling the campsite.
After the rain it proved warm and very sunny.
Now begins the work of draining down, shutting off, taking stock in every sense before the winter work begins.
Colin , who has been with us for 17 years is finally retiring. We will miss him a lot and we are sure lots of campers will also miss him. In fact if anyone reads this that has known Colin over the years please send an email to tomsfield@hotmail.com and we will pass messages on to him.
Here is a picture of the rainbow in the field close to where Colin had his caravan.

Purbeck Marble

We visited Salisbury Cathedral, a beautiful place and it was good to be reminded of the places where Purbeck marble was used in abundance. The guide told us it came from Worth Matravers but it could just as well be Acton. Whatever it makes the picture whole thinking even about the 3 quarry heads that are on Tom's Field, not used or visible of course but a reminder of the great quarrying past and present, see the picture on the Flikr photostream
