Plush Fingerpost Pilot Project for Dorset Back in January when the subject of the focal but rotting Plush fingerpost arose at the monthly village supper in the Brace, I offered to look into how it might be renovated and who might do it, little realising then I might be doing it myself ! On investigation, it was clear that the letters were raised and probably made of metal, the whole post had been repainted many times but the underlying problem was the use of softwood, probably treated at some time with preservative but now in parlous state. After dismantling, with permission, owners Dorset County Council offered to publicise as a pilot project to establish methods for use elsewhere, the letters were removed and taken to Wally at Blastech who bead blasted and powder coated them black. I then refixed them with brass screws on to new seasoned oak fingers, painted with eight coats of breathable primer and white microporous paint, reassembling them with stainless bolts. Meanwhile, the DCC helped by lifting out the pole, taking it to Wally for the same treatment and then replanting in position for the reassembly to take place. The crowning glory is the cast aluminium roundel with village name and map reference prominently displayed. Many thanks go to the AONB and the Parish Council who have helped fund the costs, though these were modest for such a community managed project. John Browning National Gardens Scheme at Butts Cottage - 13 th May, 10 th June The long dry spring gave us our best ever show of snowdrops, then primroses and daffodils and now camellias. We long for some rain, however, to encourage our wild marsh orchids to put in an appearance. April is always a nail biting time as nothing is certain with these orchids and they can turn up in all sorts of unexpected places. Anyway , there will certainly be a good show of late spring and early summer flowers and blossom and the vegetables should be showing promise. Do come along and enjoy a walk around the garden and our views of the village and the valley and some homemade cake and a cup of tea. All proceeds go to the NGS charities. We will be open from 2 - 5pm on Sunday 13 th May and Sunday 10 th June. Cars can be parked in the paddock opposite the Brace of Pheasants.
