Lambs Green Lane, just beyond the Lambs Green Inn, is still impassable without the benefit of your wellies.

This Saturday Wonder Woman, She-Ra and Batman will be in Bournemouth Squarelooking for fellow superheroes to join them on the Julia’s House Superheroes Night Walk on 25th May.

This is the children’s hospice’s second nightwalk and promises to be one of the biggest local charity events of the year. Like last year, it is only £10 to enter and the fee includes illuminated balloons, a medal, refreshment on route, a goody bag and a delicious cup cake at the end to say thank you.

Jane Adams of Corfe Mullen Nature Watch brings news of a project she recently received funding for.

Jane writes:-

It's called Corfe Mullen Buzz and we're trying to encourage as many people as possible to plant wildflower seeds in their gardens to encourage declining bees, butterflies and nice bugs back into our gardens.

Synergy Housing Association has given us funding for 500 packets of seeds, and Corfe Mullen residents can pick up a packet (free) at Corfe Coffee (one packet per household, while stocks last!). All we ask in return is that people let us know their postcode so that we can show roughly where the seeds have been sown on a Google map on the www.naturewatched.org website later in the spring. We're also asking for photos of the flowers and insects they encourage into the garden We'll be setting up a flickr group but people can also email them to me.

People need to pick up their seeds quick as they need to be sown April early May (for flowers in June/July).

Happy First Birthday wishes go to Corfe Coffee which opened for business one year ago today. It seems to be thriving as a daytime meeting place for local people.

Simon and today's team of volunteers were working hard at lunchtime to supply food and drink for the hungry and thirsty of the village.

I've sent Simon a few questions which I hope he'll find time to respond to in the next few days.

Last night (3rd April) I spotted this scene on the footpath which runs parallel with and between Phelipps Rd and Ruscombe Way. It's a pair of ladies white boots lying by a drain. What does it mean? Who put them there, and why?

If you can shed any light or have a theory, please add your comment below.

We don't know whether there will be a tanker driver strike affecting fuel supplies but as a result of Francis Maude's unwise advice to top up, just in case, enough people queued up at the Esso station at Windgreen in the last few days to cause a shortage. My tank was nearly empty when I last drove past a couple of days ago but I didn't fancy queueing, so I left it. Today (2nd April) I still needed some and found it elsewhere.

The Clothing & Shoe recycling bank at the rear of the Library was recently the victim of Vandalism/Theft.

The Parish Council Office does not know the reasons behind this attack but they have reported the damage to the Recycling Company.

As will be obvious in the photographs it took some considerable force to rip the steel casing. Who could be so desperate just to gain access to second hand materials of very little value?
