Danger passed The view across the last edge of the bombing range across the permissive area and towards the Outer Trial Bank in the distance.  You can just make out a cockle boat stationed off the bank itself.

Dawsmere cemetery Like the church graveyard across the road, very well maintained. All the headstones save one conform to a uniform style of black with gold lettering. Bearing in mind its remote location, I was surprised by how well used it is.
