St Martin on the Wall - Wareham - without doubt my favourite Dorset church.
Dating from 1020AD, it’s a wonderful little church with its “Saxon”-style nave & chancel, a lovely Norman chancel arch, 12th Century frescos in the chancel and later wall paintings throughout.

Last week on the trail, I found one of my favorite quiet miracles.
These are Pipevine flowers — easy to miss, blooming before the leaves arrive, long before most things wake up.
They’re part of a remarkable relationship that eventually gives rise to the Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly.

This shows that clear, consistent policy works. Which is exactly why backtracking now would be a mistake. Rolling back targets or creating uncertainty would slow investment and innovation.
