Isle of Portland Flag

The Isle of Portland flag! 

Portland has it's own flag as seen here.

The colours represent the landscape of the area: portland stone, grass and the sea. The white tower represents the castles and the naval coronet shows the long connection with the Royal Navy.

Portland's changing, making changes here too

Pause for thought... 

This Portland bill site has seen a few interesting changes over the last year and it has since then steadily grown in traffic and reach, slowly but surely... until a few months ago when it jumped, now it has doubled.

That is partly down to the facebook fan page set up for this site, partly down to YOU sharing it, partly down to my efforts elsewhere, partly down to Portland just being a great interesting place!

I'd like to say a massive thank you to all of you for commenting, sharing and most of all... being a reader.
So, just to share an update of sorts here and where's next for this site...

Yachts in Portland's Chesil beach cove

Sailing boats from Chesil beach.

Enjoying the fantastic weather last week on Portland's Chesil beach, I saw these boats anchored in the cove, it's not very often now we see boats "resting" here, so it made a nice change, would have liked to be on one of them to be honest, after all, it's one angle we rarely see Portland from.

Portland's secret tunnels...

Chesil beach! 

Portland's Chesil beach is seemingly endless, 18 or 19 miles of beach and I happen to spot this, what looks like a drain, so oddly out of place within all these pebbles.

If it is a drain that is, my imagination run away with me at the time because it didn't really look like a drain, more an entrance for something than anything. We all know on Portland that's possible ;o)

Portland's hidden secrets fascinate me...
