Moonfleet

  Have you ever come across the story of Moonfleet written by J Meade Faulkner ? It is an adventure story written  in1896 and based on the shores of the Fleet  in  Moonfleet in Dorset. It tells the story of smugglers, a cursed diamond, and a story of love and friendship. All the components of a  great story!. Chris de Burgh was so inspired that he wrote an album about it please click on link here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPygaNo_fiY before looking at the next pictures it adds to the atmosphere!

We didn't see Blackbeard the only black we found was on the coats of these friendly heifers (that blocked the footpath) or the oyster catcher down on the Fleet!

Last night the light was fantastic and the water was so still. The only sound was the distant sound of the waves crashing on the other side of the Chesil bank on the other side of the water.

                     The boats were just lying empty and adding a extra touch to the scene.

I hope you enjoyed your virtual visit too , wishing you a good week ahead.
