    I have a funny fishing story myself. The first time we visited on a family holiday, when we were staying at Burton Bradstock at the time, although it may have been the second time when we stayed at Seatown (which the locals pronounce Seaton) my sister had just bought, or was given to as a present, a new Shakespeare fishing rod. She and my dad were fishing over the harbour with that whilst my mum and me we using a simple fishing line. We caught a fish and she didn't. My uncle moved there a few years ago and although we visited him not long after he moved in, we are actually going back down the this Friday. I didn't know about there was an old railway station there.

    I have enjoyed your walk round Mere this afternoon so much. I chose to watch it this afternoon as it is the funeral of my bestest school friend in St Michael's Church this afternoon. I have so many really happy memories as a schoolgirl at Shaftesbury High School for girls, and lived on the edge of Mere at Chance Cottage. We would ride our ponies up on the Chalk Downs behind Mere, and have wonderful gallops along the old roman road/main victorian and earlier road to London!! So many memories! I couldn't come to the funeral, I am 78 years old now and live in France, so especially good to be as close as I can be this afternoon.
