The Mosaic Hinton St Mary November 2020
The Mosaic Hinton St Mary November 2020 The Yard (Alice Fox-Pitt) What a weird time we are in. Despite the global pandemic, horses need to be fed and worked so despite lockdown work had to continue at Woodlane Stables. Firstly we need to say a big thank you to the village for putting up with the constant stream of horses hacking round the village, we apologise for any inconvenience. Hinton St Mary is the perfect place to train horses and we feel very lucky. The yard used to be one of three dairies in the village but it was converted in 2004 and we moved the first horses in in 2005. We train horses owned by clients for William to compete. William also trains up and coming star riders from all over the world. This year we had a team from South Africa, the US, Japan, Germany, Ireland, Wales, Scotland and Newcastle. Jackie Potts is our head girl and this weird year was her 27th working with William. Obviously, the big disappointment for us was the postponement of the Olympics due to be held in Tokyo in August. William has been training hard on his star horse Little Fire, who is in the British squad of 12. It would be an incredible 6th Olympics should he make Team GB having competed in Atlanta, Athens, Beijing, London and Rio. It was a huge blow for our Japanese star Kazumo Tomoto. He has been here for three years training for a home games. His daughter and wife have stayed at home in Tokyo so it has been a huge sacrifice and commitment. -
Thomas Hardy and His Funerals
THE EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF LIFE WRITING VOLUME IX (2020) LW&D132–LW&D150 Till Death Did Him Part: Thomas Hardy and His Funerals Charles Lock University of Copenhagen [J.M. Barrie] was especially tickled by Hardy’s preoccupation with plans for his own burial—plans, continuously changed. ‘One day Hardy took me . to see the place where he’s to be buried, and the next day he took me to see the place where he would like next best to be buried. Usually he says he is to be buried between his wives; but sometimes, so many inches nearer the first; sometimes, so many inches nearer to the second.’ Cynthia Asquith, Portrait of Barrie (London: James Barrie, 1954), p. 107 The wrongness of two funerals and the wretchedness of Florence’s later years bring a sombre end to any account of Hardy. Claire Tomalin, Thomas Hardy: The Time-Torn Man (London: Penguin, 2006), p. 377 ABSTRACT This essay considers Hardy’s two funerals—for his ashes at Poets’ Corner, for his heart at Stinsford—in the light of their consequences for life-writing: the absence of a single resting-place, and the narrative demands of synchronicity in telling of two funerals. This division of the body was the consequence of an extraordinary lack of precision in Hardy’s own will, the composition, wording and interpretation of which are examined here in some detail. Attention is also paid to the single grave at Stinsford that holds the remains of Hardy and both his wives in diverse modalities of the invisible. Keywords: Thomas Hardy, wills and testaments, ashes, funerals, heart-burials European Journal of Life Writing, Vol IX, 132–150 2020. -
Agenda Item 3 North Dorset District Council Council

Statutory Authority: Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009 Financial Implications: There are no financial implications associated with this report. Consultations required/ All North Dorset District Councillors undertaken: Recommendations: To recommend alternative proposals, set out in paragraphs 8 to 11, and Appendicies 1 to 4 of this report, to The Local Government Boundary Commission for England’s recommended Warding Pattern for North Dorset. Reason For Decision: To ensure that the new Warding pattern for North Dorset recognises and reflects community and local identity and the historic links of the parishes, whilst ensuring electoral equality is achieved across the district. BACKGROUND 1. In early 2012, The Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) advised the Council that it would be undertaking a Further Electoral Review of North Dorset, looking at both the number of Councillors and the Ward boundaries. 2. In October 2012, the Council submitted a document to the LGBCE regarding Council size recommending that the Council should retain 33 Councillors. The submission gave evidence relating to the governance and management structure of the Council, scrutiny work, work on outside bodies and also the Members’ representational role. -
Blandford's Contribution to World War
BLANDFORD'S CONTRIBUTION TO WORLD WAR TWO compiled by M.J. Le Bas 2020 7.12 BLANDFORD PREPARES FOR WAR With war looming in 1939, Blandford Camp was reactivated a s a t r a i n i n g c e n t r e f o r reservists called up, and for new r e c r u i t s s e e n here. Many new huts were built for accommodation, as most of the huts from WW1 had long since been demolished or sold on. Some became the huts for the Blandford Scouts in Eagle House Gardens. INVASION? In 1940, Blandford received prominence when Prime Minister Churchill declared Blandford must become 'a strategic tank island to be defended at all costs'. This was in response to the threat of German invasion after the Fall of France in May. The German plan, one of many, was to land in August 1940 on the Dorset Coast “Operation Sealion”, and strike northward rapidly to the Bristol Channel, thereby capturing Blandford featured strongly in the German at a stroke the ports of Devon and plans. It lay on one of three routes the German Cornwall and enabling the landing Army would have taken, the others being of German forces unopposed. Maiden Newton and Fordingbridge, with Blandford and the crossing of the River Stour at it's bridge, being the most advantageous route. LOCATION ? . In order to confuse the invaders, town signs were ordered to be removed, here in particular the word BLANDFORD that was prominently displayed on street and sewer drain covers, and on the charity boards in the Parish Church. -
