The BV magazine, Oct 22

This month we've been looking at those dreaded online systems you have to battle to get a GP appointment – and exactly why they have been installed by local practices. We've also been talking to some Dorset turkey farmers, finding out exactly why your supermarket bird might not taste the way you expect. We welcome the return of Rob Nolan, our Night Sky columnist and photographer, and in A Country Living we take a sneak peek into the secret world of a Master Thatcher.  Jane Adams takes us for a walk at dusk, the politics section gets a little feisty, and in Local History Roger's sharing the story of Hardy's map, the Green Man at King's Stag and Rupert Hardy refreshes the story of the Blandford B'Stard's.
