The last few days have made me realise that Spring has sprung.
What a wonderland we live in, To see the world start to come alive once more, is a joy, and no less than that.
What makes it even better, is the great good fortune of being born in this most beautiful area by the name of Swanage. I do count myself as lucky, for this is Gods own Country.

tell me?
Where in Swanage is that top class restaurant? A place that is comfortable, with a top class menue (not micro waved!) good polite and efficient service.
Both lunch time and evenings?
Fresh cooked food, beautifully presented, perhaps a little more expensive?
Where?
Dancing Ledge.
so what happened at the planning board re: Sea Court?
The Post Office.
What ever is going on? the damn thing closed down just like that!
A shambles...Absolute Shambles.
Dancing Ledge.
As usual our friendly traffic wardens were doing their duty, but why oh why always on a Bank Holiday, I saw 2 of them from where I work in town busily writng in their books and slapping on the tickets. It doesnt encourage people to return to our lovely town.
Secret Police?
Where are they when you need them?
Are they the traffic wardens in disguise?
The alley behind Institute Road is often over run by kids, weekends and most evenings drinking and spraying poor grafitti, (I wouldn't mind if it was good). Worse is the open selling of drugs.
The only time I ever see police is on a school day when the community police car appears by the Mowlem, (when the crims are at school).
I've never seen a policeman when it all kicks off after closing time either.
I guess they're just scared.
If anybody knows the number of the local bobby and what time he goes to bed because I wouldn't like to bother him then let me know

Who's watching who? Anyone else noticed what looks like a camera mounted high up on the Lifeboat station? It's the round 360 view kind, not the usual rectangular white cctv . What's it for? Who's it for? Are there others around Swanage? Let's find out - unless you're a dodgy crim type, in which case forget you read this.
What on earth is Swanage Town Council doing trying to make money out of a caravan park?
Do they not remember that they could not even successfully run the ice cream kiosks on the beach (closed for lunch and at Bank Holidays)? The visitor centre losses (also closed for lunch)? The Station Yard fiasco? Having to charge for toilets? Extortionate car parking fees- where does all that money go?
If caravan parks are so good, why all the licensing and planning restrictions on the existing ones?
The STC caravan park will not be the success it could be in private hands, and may well turn out to be at best a poor investment but probably a liability to the people of Swanage. This piece of family silver should be sold off immediately.
The contributors to this blog clearly think they could make a better job of running the town and district than the present incumbents. Perhaps they would like to offer themselves for election as the anonymous party. Just think of the platform they could run on. All public assets to be sold off. No strangers to be let into town. Anyone suspected of vandalism to be fed to the sharks. All untidy buildings to be demolished. Autobahns to be constructed linking all points. Complusory opening of post offices and posh restaurants (privately owned only). What next? A short military campaign against the hill people of Langton and Worth Matravers perhaps.
YET AGAIN THE TRAFFIC WARDENS STRIKE.
I was disgusted to see not 1 BUT 2 traffic wardens, whilst out in swanage, booking vehicals on a BANK HOLIDAY.
Do they enjoy scaring the holiday makers away?
If it keeps on thats what will happen.
Where else in swanage is there parking for bikes.
I love to see the bikes parked there and also other people can have a look and enjoy them too.
Are they really doing any harm parked by the stone quay in swanage as most of them are there for a short period of time.
I think that we should be privaleged that these bikers want to come to swanage an show there bikes off and spend their money in the town and on the accomodation that we provide as a town.
i think that the traffic wardens should not be allowed to work on a bank holiday.
If this was to happen i think that more visitors would come to swanage and enjoy themselves and not be worrying about whether the hav recived parking tickets.
The Mill Pond is well worth a visit at the moment with 11 ducklings and a Moor Hen sitting on a cluth of 5 eggs.
