Here comes summer!
A view from the countryside
Welcome to the summer issue of Dorset Countryside News, your update about
Dorset County Council's Dorset Countryside Service and what's happening
across our beautiful countryside and coast.
Butterflies are synonymous with long, hot summer days. On the downs,
Lulworth Skippers and Chalkhill Blues abound, while Silver-washed
Fritillaries and White Admirals frequent the woodland glades. At night,
the
sounds of bush-crickets fill the air and the eerie light of the female low-worm may be seen. A wonderful array of late-summer flowers includes
Autumn Lady's Tresses, Carline Thistle, Autumn Felwort and Marsh Gentian.
Even at the height of summer, migrant birds are already on the move and by
August many warblers, flycatchers and chats are gathering along the coast
in preparation for the long return flight to Africa.
Enjoy this issue and have a wonderful summer around Dorset's countryside
and coast.

An American lady (from Texas) is looking for
bed and breakfast for the above period while she is here visiting Ford Farm
Cheese Dairy. This would appear to be an ideal opportunity for a mine hostess to
practice her hospitality skills and earn a little pocket money at the same time.

Do you trade in or around Litton Cheney?
The Litton Cheney Web Group's constitution states that we should help to promote local enterprise. One of the ways we can do this is to provide a business directory within this web site. This has now been included and can be found by clicking on the "Local Businesses" item in the menu on the left.
Consequently, all local traders are invited to promote their businesses in the Local Business section of this web site. The web group is offering this as a free service (for the moment at least).
Feel free to send in your listing using our Contact page. Let us know if you have logos or images that need to be included and you will receive an email with instructions about what to do with them. Feel free to write a detailed description of your services as space is virtually unlimited at this stage.
