Fossilsinmypockets

@DorsetWildlife looks like a dead otter on the A35 near Chideock - don’t know if these get recorded anywhere?

@KirstieMAllsopp We used to regularly have bomb scared & drills at school in the 80s & 90s.

So clearly drills not universal, but many schools do them, which makes this the second bullshit thing in the national press today! Now Mamma MIa, haven’t seen it for years, it’s perfect tonic for all the horrid stories I’m receiving about things that have happened in schools.

@nervousbotanist Thanks! Does it ‘walk ‘ like the ones you can grow?

@fossilpockets Yes, Wild Onion aka Crow Garlic, Allium vineale. 👍

Crow garlic? #wildflowerhour

Given that it’s in a field full of early purples, I’m guessing this is just a pink early purple orchid? (Excuse the quality, it was pouring down!) @DWTMarine @DWTKingcombe @Love_plants

Missing Melplash? This is a great idea!

@NTSouthWest Lamberts Castle car park is still jam-packed - I don’t think it’s safe for that many people to be using the same area, especially with gates to open etc.

@DWTMarine @DWTKingcombe 15th March! This is incredibly early isn’t it? #wildflowerhour

You’re all absolutely mad, but good luck!

New blog! It’s been a while, but I spent a lovely day yesterday learning to carve stone at @SculptureLakes . Read all about it in my latest blog: fossilsinmypockets.co.uk

Happy Dorset Day! Today is the feast day of St Wite, who is the patron saint of Dorset. Local tradition tells that she was a Saxon holy woman who lived near Morecombelake, and was killed by Danish raiders. Dorset is a beautiful, vibrant, exciting place! #dorsethour #dorset
