The Dorset Seasons in pictures... November

Last month, I posted a picture of a particular little corner of the West Dorset countryside above Abbotsbury (the location of my third novel and seemingly never-ending-work-in-progress The Right Place (which I hope to complete and publish before I get to the age of 100), thus starting a series of pictures I will be taking of the very same place over the next year. 

The picture above was taken yesterday, 27/11/2020. Granted, it doesn't look that different from the October one, but I can confirm that we noticed a few subtle differences standing there looking over the green valley... It's very difficult to pinpoint, but it felt decidedly more wintery despite the sunshine, and the air bit ever so slightly. 

We then moved on to West Bexington and walked along the beach for 30mn or so; I breathed in the sea air deeper than usual as I hadn't been out and about in nature for a while, having been stuck inside poorly ventilated buildings with several hundred kids...
I have tried to research which house in the nearby village of Puncknowle the sculpture below refers to but cannot find anything online...  

We stumbled across on bit of driftwood which looked more like the weathered skull of some prehistoric horned animal... 

And also the remains of a beach barbecue... I still struggle to understand how people can just leave their stuff like that... If you blink, it would be an iron-age archaeological find... 

​I'm going to try and get out in nature as much as possible in the next few weeks as I will be doing a full-time assignment over January/February and won't be able to indulge in walks - or anything else bar work for that matter... Hopefully I will emerge on the other side roaring to go, as I do have a lot of work to do on The Right Place and the plotting of the Arcane online bookshop.   
My goal over the next two weeks is to stay virus-free before I stop for the December break...
I still hope that a little bit more progress can be made on The Right Place before January... 
Probably wishful thinking...
