Looking down Oakley Hill towards the bridge over the Stour, past this postbox which receives its final collection at 5:30pm on weekdays and now at 11:30am on Saturdays – the latter time displayed on a sticker over whatever the Saturday collection used to be.

Here be trains (once upon a time)
Not a very inspiring picture; a chain-link fence with a single-carriageway road glimpsed beyond. However, I'm standing on the formation of the old Southampton & Dorchester Railway where it was carved through by the A31 Wimborne by-pass. Almost impossible to think this was once the trunk rail line linking London with Dorset.
