June 2021

cracks and the foliage on the trees appears brown shriveled and late. The
bluebell carpets are late. We are now getting April showers in May. The
gardeners and farmers think everything is about a month behind. There is very
little grass for the farmers to make silage. The soft fruit harvest will be affected.
My owner worries that the erupting St Vincent Volcano ash in the higher
atmosphere will cause us to have a wet summer. She needs to get out more. She
still worries about everything at the moment.

We have had local elections. The
local polling station was at the Bere

Regis Sports Club. We went down
to vote but had to come home as
she forgot her mask and the pencil.
Two walks up North Street that day.
I had a great time barking at all the
voters walking up the street. Our
magazine Editor, Alison, took this
photo of me waiting patiently
outside the Sports Club.

Since then we have had non stop
analysis and coverage on the
News. With such a low turnout in England it beats me how the newscasters can
go on and on accurately predicting what will happen in a General election
basing their calculations on a 36 per cent turnout. I suppose they factor that into
the calculations
Looking ahead there are more changes coming,
firstly, a future change of ownership at Court Green
Farm. We went down there for a walk to see the
newly arrived cattle. The farmer tells my owner that
the magnificent Hereford bull is called “Otis”. His
heifers when they calve next year will be Dairy
replacements for the milking herd which provides
the milk for Allen Valley Milk Vending Machines.
The nearest vending machine is at Winterborne
Whitechurch.

The shop has changed hands. We will miss the
Moorse Family. Thirty five years is a long time and
running a village shop is a full on business. We must
continue to support the new shop and the visiting
vans. The Pandemic has shown us how vital local
businesses are. Remember dogs like to go to the
shops for a walk as well.
The pubs re-open next week!!!!! The Spring Bank
