A revised bus service will be introduced between Bridport and Yeovil, with effect from this coming Monday 11 May, operating Mondays to Fridays (Bank/ Public Holidays excepted) by Buses of Somerset as no. Y6.
Bob Driscoll Chairman of WATAG – (Western Area Transport Action Group) commented: “This is a ‘one bus’ operation and, I assume, will continue until such time as travel restrictions are eased. We still await a response from Councillor Ray Bryan regarding the long term solution for this corridor. Whilst demand for this service will be minimal, the new timetable is a vast improvement to the existing one, and allows a shopping trip to either Bridport or Yeovil, as well as giving residents of Broadwindsor and Mosterton the opportunity of an “out and back in the same day” journey that has been denied to them since the beginning of April.”

Friday celebrates the 75th anniversary of Victory in Europe.  The weatherman predicts a hot day so timetable yourself to sit out in your garden 2-4pm (or anytime really!) with a cream tea, cake or something a bit stronger and give thanks to those who were brave then and to those who are being brave now, whether it be on the NHS front line combatting the Covid-19 virus or dealing with a house full of children and no respite.  These are indeed strange times.

The photographs show the bunting outside Krumbs Cottage on the High Street in Broadwindsor together with the beautiful blue poppies shown below.
Enjoy the sunshine.  Enjoy the day. #StayAtHome #StaySafe #StaySane 🙂

Traditionally, May’s Full Moon is known as the Flower Moon as it appears at the time of blossoming flowers.  Scientifically, the Full Moon occurs at 11.45am on Thursday, May 7th so will look at it’s fullest on late Wednesday night and just before 9pm Thursday evening when the Moon rises (Look East to see the moon rise). It is also defined as a Supermoon*, not the biggest or brightest but still qualifies as a Supermoon.

Simultaneously, the Eta Aquariids are at their peak but will be trickier to see because of the bright moonlight.
Also this month will be the planet Venus’ last full month in the western twilight sky for the year 2020.

*Any full Moon (or new Moon) coming closer than 224,865 miles (361,885 km), as measured from the centres of the Earth and Moon, counts as a Supermoon in 2020, according to NASA.

Please be aware of your own security.

It is suspected Criminals use Social media sites to find out knowledge of dog locations. If selling a dog online be very careful who you are speaking to.
Do not give out information of what’s dogs you have and where you live unless you are happy with who you are speaking to.
