Wimborne Minster, where the town cryer is also the resident reggae dj, pumpkin festivals are taken deadly serious and where morris dancers have their annual meet up at our local pub, aptly named 'The Green Man'.
It's like living in a real life Stars Hollow!
Wimborne is a town where old traditions sit side by side with entrepreneurial independant businesses and sustainability and creativity is key.
When Pixie asked me what I love about where I live, I didn't have to look very far for my answer.
Walking past a Romany Gypsy family selling wreaths outside their wagon, surrounded by families embracing their return every year!
Community spirit is what makes this town so very special, whether that be in the form of the Maypole going up without fail every May day, the annual literay fetsival, or all of the volunteers who give up their time to make sure our beautiful Art Deco theatre stays open every single night!
Wimborne is a perfect example of what #livingsoulfully stands for.

Alice Lodge is the cottage of my dreams situated at the gates of Gaunts House.
Such a beautiful cottage. I think its style is what's referred to as a Cottage Orné; its pure fairytale magic with its low eaves and leaded windows.
