Ambulance Stuck in Floods at Powerstock Common (2) This shows the ambulance shortly after it had got stuck under the old railway bridge on the former branch line from Maiden Newton to Bridport. This bridge frequently floods but this is the worst I have seen there.

Locally themed parking sign in Toller Porcorum The village name "Toller Porcorum" literally translates as Valley of the Pigs. Presumably that explains why this home-made car park direction sign next to the parish church has a carved pig on top of it.
