Launched on 30th July 2020, NASA’s Perseverance Rover is due to touchdown onto the surface of Mars, some 33.9 million miles away at 20:55 – 21.15 hours GMT this evening if all continues to go to plan.

The first successful flyby of Mars was on 14th–15th July 1965, by NASA’s Mariner 4.
On November 14th, 1971, Mariner 9 became the first space probe to orbit another planet when it entered into orbit around Mars.
The Soviet probes Phobos 1 and 2 were sent to Mars in 1988 to study Mars and its two moons, with a focus on Phobos.#Broadwindsor,#Burstock,#Blackdown,#Drimpton,#Hursey,#Kittwhistle,#Seaborough,#Dorset,#WestDorset,#2021,#NationalLockdown,#NASA,#PerseveranceRover,#WatchLive,#Space,#Mars,#Wow,#BeSafe,#StaySafe
Bridport Food Festival are pleased to announce their new ‘Lockdown Hero’ awards devised to recognise and say a BIG ‘Thank You‘ to the local food & drink businesses: cafes, restaurants, pubs, butchers, bakers, greengrocers, farm shops, market traders, etc., who have risen to the challenges of the pandemic and continued to feed us and provide us with much needed treats. Many have increased what they offer and have set up new, or adapted their services, to provide delivery and collection services.
Awards will be presented to six categories:
Bridport Food Festival was originally conceived by the West Dorset Food and Land Trust, with support from the Countryside Agency, The Marshwood Vale Magazine, Denhay Farms and Bridport Town Council, and was launched with the help of Hugh Fernley-Whittingstall in 2004.

An ongoing problem in our area. Dorset Council received their share of the £500 million the Government have allocated for the fixing of potholes. To be paid in instalments, this amounts to a total of £7 million. The South West region has been allocated £90,031,000, more than any other region of England.
This is the second of 5 equal instalments from the £2.5 billion Potholes Fund, providing £500 million a year between 2020/21 and 2024/25, announced by the Chancellor in the 2020 Budget – and is part of wider funding the Dept. for Transport provides for road maintenance, totalling over £1.1 billion across England in 2021/22.
Dorset Council report that the average pothole costing around £50 to fill in, the funding will ensure that the equivalent of 10 million potholes can be repaired across the county.
Plastic – we must make sure we are reducing, not increasing, the the supply.
In March 2018 in Scotland, Fife Council were in negotiations to use a bitumen-substitute material called MR6 to repair damaged road services. The company behind the idea, Carlisle-based MacRebur, won financial backing from Sir Andy Murray and billionaire Virgin boss Sir Richard Branson and had already undertaken a £200,000 resurfacing scheme on the A7 in the Lake District.

On the other side of the pond, a Californian company, Technisoil Industrial believe they have the solution with plastic too. To learn more about their products – Click HERE.

Baroness Charlotte Sarah Emily Vere, who took office in April 2019 as the Transport Minister & Member of the House of Lords said:
“We know potholes are more than just a nuisance – they can be dangerous to drivers and cyclists alike, and cause damage to thousands of vehicles every year.
“The funding allocated today will help councils ensure roads in their area are kept up to standard, and that the potholes that blight road users can be dealt with promptly.”
As Parliamentary Under Secretary of State, Baroness Vere has responsibility for:

Vegan foods are not just for vegans. With over 30 years of experimenting with vegan food and flavours Yumptious produce delicious plant based savoury and sweet baked goodies, lovingly handmade in North Allington, Bridport, Dorset, using mostly organic ingredients. Yumptious goods do not contain unsustainable palm oil 🙂
In the kitchen is Lynne & her team. Lynne set her business up just over 2 years ago; her mum passed away and she wanted a life change. Lynne took redundancy from her job working for a conservation charity and this gave her the funding she needed. Lynne has been vegan for 32 years and so has been experimenting with recipes for a long time. “I like to make food that is recognisable but a bit quirky. A good example of this is my Naan Bread Curry Pies, as the name suggests instead of a pastry case they have a naan bread on and they are HUGE! As I am a passion conservationist I wanted my food to be as ethical as possible, so I do not use any damaging unsustainable palm oil due to the devastation it causes to rainforests and I use organic ingredients where possible.“
