Here, we take a brief look back and compile some quotes from 2013 interviews in Dorset Magazine; their work, life, views of Dorset and much more
Abbey Burton – January 2013
The Gold medal sharpshooter had this to say on getting the shot spot on:
“It is an extremely exhilarating feeling, watching the clay explode and catching the whiff and rise of smoke as the used casings pop out of the barrel.”
Katie Adie – February 2013
The former chief news correspondent for the BBC simply loves Dorset:
“I love lumpy countryside hills and water – and unexpected views, which is what I love about Dorset.”
Chris Chibnell – March 2013
The scriptwriter for Torchwood and Broadchurch spoke about filming in Dorset:
“I’d like it to be a love letter to this coast, to the towering sandstone cliffs and the stunning scenery and ultimately, to honour the importance of community.
Nick Mitchell – April 2013
The National Hunt trainer compares racing horses to Olympic gold medallists:
“Flats horses need to be light like Mo Farah…three-mile chasers are more like a Steve Redgrave type; they need their steak and chips.”
Celia Sawyer – May 2013
The Channel 4 presenter showed us around her Sandbanks home:
“Adding eye-catching interest to the dining room are two Jonny Sainsbury mirrors, an art mosaic of Clint Eastwood’s face and Muhammad Ali memorabilia.”
The Earl and Countess of Shaftesbury – July 2013
The couple spoke about life; especially family:
“One of the things that is often skated over is how much respect and loyalty the people on the estate had for my father. There was a huge fondness for him.”
Martin Clunes – August 2013
The actor told us about working with heavy horses:
“There is something about a heavy horse’s honesty, stoicism, size and reliability that just gets to me and it clearly does to other people.
Gilson Lewis – September 2013
The Squeeze drummer on his transition from art to music:
“Sketching and painting make me feel really focussed. It’s a meditative process. I can lose myself in a painting.”
