Corfe Castle falconry display

This weekend TJ and I attended a local falconry display at corfe castle.

Walking from the National Trust car park, we entered a small shop that sells rocks and fossils. The lady behind the desk, was lovely as we were looking around it started to rain. Me being me I forgot to pack the rain jackets in the car. The lovely lady offered to lend us her umbrella. which I graciously accepted.

The site itself is breathtaking and to be able to walk around in the history and imagine what happened inside the walls is incredible.

. The falconry display was amazing. Watching the birds flying around listening to the man tell the audience how they train the birds so they don't fly away was interesting.

The birds flew around in front of crowds with such grace and with what seemed very little effort.

Once the hawk had its prey in sight, it homed in and dived in at such a speed if you blinked you would have missed it! 

Local markets

Have you ever visited your local market?
Why not?
The local market is a great way of supporting the community and a great way to save money from the fresh local fruit and veg to the fish mongers or meat wagons to pet stalls and flower stalls. 

The markets host in so many different places.
I personally have been to Wareham in Dorset and it never really struck me how amazing these market traders are.

Majority are there for the crack of dawn setting up their stalls in rain wind or snow. These traders are usually the happiest people I've met and always willing to deals.
What's the harm in going and see how much you can save on your weekly shopping or just go for a day out. I'm sure you'll have a nice day as I always do !
