"My name is Carolyn and I arrived in Stalbridge during the darkest days of December 2016.
I have been impressed by the friendliness of people here and have fallen in love with the dry stone walls, the trees and the expansive views. When I walk, I like to stop and pause for a moment to absorb and reflect on the beauty of the tiny flowers growing from walls, the new leaves and stunning views and then I reach for my mobile phone and take a few photos. So these pictures are a simple mirror of the beauty I see around me in Dorset and Stalbridge in particular. Nothing fancy, just my own joy of the intricacies I see around me."

Harpitts Plantation - Stalbridge

 My first time in the woods just off Wood Lane and the trees filled me with joy as Spring begins to blossom all around.
What a special place so close to the village!
