My wife is a freelance writer and author. I grew up in the New Forest and my wife moved to Dorset when we married some 30 plus years ago. We moved to this area a decade or so ago. We enjoy the outdoors and are both very creative. We know Dorset well and have tried to provide as much information as we can for your enjoyment.
