Dear Blandford folk, it must be conceded that this blog is rather disjointed at the moment but having decided to take some time out from Blandford, I try to puff this blog up by writing about more personal issues. I tend to check the email box for this site on Sunday's and hence today found a message from the  for you good people of Blandford, so here's some excerpts from

A car show was held in Blandford Forum @ the Ham car park, near Morrisons supermarket. It had a decent turnout despite the rather grey day, let's hope it's the first of many car shows to be held in the town... If you're the car owner please feel free to contact The Blandford Buzz if your car is featured in any of these photos and you wish to add a brief commentary (as I know zilch about cars)

My friend and I were walking towards the Blandford Crown Meadows, as we had decided to take a stroll in this green and pleasant pasture, so we walked past a few new build houses, turned left so that we were walking past the back gardens of the said properties because the Crown Meadows was clearly in view from this vantage point.  As we were working out how we would "overcome the wire

I was taking a stroll through Tabernacle Walk in Blandford a few Saturdays ago, when I noticed a new cute little shop and just as I was about to pass the shop by, a smiling lady appeared from said shop and started setting up shop outside (putting a menu blackboard up outside), it crossed my mind that as I didn't really have any blog ideas for the next few weeks that it might be a good idea to

Hi, it's been a while, I've been busy, busy, busy, anyway I thought I would break through the silence (lack of recent articles) on this blog, due to an interesting story on Yahoo news about a swarm of bees on a deadly rampage. This story caused me to think about dear old humble bumble bee Blandford Buzz. If you clicked on the above link and read the article on Yahoo news, then you will know that

Last month On Thursday 31st January, I attended an interview @ the passport office in Yeovil, I must say that although the interview can't quite be described as an interrogation it nevertheless was  quite intense and I was left with the impression that the passport office's ethos is the reverse of the English legal system - innocent until proven guilty... @ one moment during the

I was strolling past the various stalls @ the Dorset Farmers market in Blandford,, as I proceeded to walk past a stall selling yummy pies and pasties, a lady with a beaming smiling friendly pretty face quickly stepped out from behind the stall she had been attending and smiled even more broadly, in a split second I suddenly recognised her!

I've already broken my own rule - about only blogging once a week, you will notice that I posted another blog entry a few days ago on Thursday (10th January)...  I must confess that I got caught up in the outrage towards the Liverpool Care Pathway, which in short is a legalised means of withdrawing humane care to end a suffering patients life as opposed to
