SUMMARY:Fern Identification
DESCRIPTION:Ferns are a group of vascular plants that reproduce by spores. They do not have seeds\, nor do they flower\, making them a fascinating group of plants to learn about. \nRobin Walls is the county recorder for vascular plants in Dorset and has a wealth of knowledge about flora. He is heavily involved in the Dorset Flora Group and is a tutor for the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland’s Identiplant programme. Join Robin in this one-day course to share his passion for plants and discover the ferns growing in the ancient hedgerows and droves of Kingcombe Meadows nature reserve.

SUMMARY:A Little Stand Up and A Little Sit Down - Chris Difford
DESCRIPTION:Chris Difford is a Grammy nominated and double Ivor Novello Award winning lyricist who has brought us characters and sketches from everyday life\, and has successfully turned the mundane into the beautiful\, the urbane into the exquisite\, for over 40 years. As part of the legendary Squeeze\, Chris has co-written some of the most enduring and best-loved songs of our time such as ‘Up The Junction’\, ‘Cool For Cats’ and ‘Labelled With Love’\, ‘Tempted’ and many others. \nChris sums up this solo tour in his own words…”Being on tour is something I really enjoy\, seeing people and being with people is part of my experience as a performer. I will be playing songs from the Squeeze catalogue and from the solo albums I have recorded over the last 23 years. My story is told through stand up and some sit down\, a trip back to my council estate in South London\, from my very first lyrical expression to the dressing rooms of this show. My new songs written with Boo Hewerdine tell a story of celebration\, 25 years writing lyrics and playing on stages big and small. A journey I look back on with great fondness and gratitude. \nI can’t wait to climb back on stage and perform\, although have been shy in the past I now find myself feasting on the here and now deep within the shell like of your ear. I will be joined on stage by Melvin Duffy on his pedal steel and together we will deliver an evening of warm and I hope funny stories. Melvin’s playing is outstanding and I feel so lucky to have him as my sideman\, he cries over the songs and makes them sound always amazing. \nThe show is not just a look back on 50 lyrical years\, it’s a journey that asks\, What Happened? What happened to all those years and mates I grew up with before I formed a band. I hope you enjoy this new show.”
