Dist:0.1km<br/>On the site of the old Cottage Farm, The Courtyard Centre is a pretty collection of 18 countryside craft units. The 18th Century farm buildings have been adapted to make the Courtyard one of the most interesting arts and crafts centres in the South. http://www.travelpublishing.co.uk/CountryLivingWestCountry/Dorset/CLW24840.htm

Dist:0.3km<br/>Not ten minutes ago it was a sunny day a couple of miles south. Now, sleet covers the roads in what appeared to be a very localised flurry of sleet – only a mile or two east it was definitely rain and the roads were not hazardous at all.

Dist:0.4km<br/>View south west from close to the Dorchester Rd, the B3067 just east of Lytchett Minster. The houses are a new development close to Peters Finger pub in the village.

Now, sleet covers the roads in what appeared to be a very localised flurry of sleet – only a mile or two east it was definitely rain and the roads were not hazardous at all. The sudden icy conditions seem to have caused a few incidents, as a number of ambulances and police cars were going around with blue lights flashing and sirens on. Here, someone has slid off the road and the police have just this second arrived.

The reason for the surprising route of these tyre-marks, all changing lanes at the same point, is an incident that has just occurred out-of-shot to the left – see [[1719114]].

Where cars came along here with the wheels running slightly off the course of previous ones, the spray coming from them was quite impressive and it was a good idea to give them as wide a berth as possible!

Dist:0.6km<br/>The war memorial was restored in 1995. The roof of the thatched cottage opposite is covered with moss. Moss is a small green plant, rarely more than a few inches high, which grows anywhere not overshadowed by taller vegetation or perpetually dry. There are more than 600 species in the British Isles, growing on rocks and walls, in woodlands and on tree trunks and branches. They are important pioneers of rock surfaces, holding moisture in their leaves and building up humus in which the seeds of flowering plants can germinate. There are two alternating generations in the life cycle of moss. The plant itself carries male and female organs. After fertilisation, these produce a capsule. Stalk and capsule together form an asexual, spore-bearing generation. The spores produced are capable of germinating into a new plant. Mosses also reproduce vegetatively, by small pieces breaking off and growing into a new plant. As they are rootless and tend to get their nutrients from water running over or through them they are nearly always short.
