As ever for the first episode of the month, we start with Laura's 'letter from the editor'. Then we hear from the local politicans – Terry and Jenny read the latest columns from Ken Huggins of the Green Party, Gary Jackson of North Dorset LibDems and Edward Morello, MP for West Dorset.
In the September BV's equestrian section, Sally Cooper interviewed Charles Church. She asks him about his journey to becoming one of the world's leading equestrian painters, from washing dishes in Newmarket to Royal commissions. Charles also takes on the Random 19 questions.

As Dorset Council tackles biodiversity loss, the BV has looked at its recent declaration of a Nature Emergency. Jenny sat down with Dorset Council leader Nick Ireland to understand exactly what this means, and how effective it can be. Jenny also tackles Nick on the council's continued use of glyphosate.
September's BV can be read here ... grab a coffee and jump in to the Dorset-ness. News, opinion, people, wildlife, art, farming, what's on, horses ... and frankly stunning photography. Did we mention it's FREE? Why *wouldn't* you want a flick through? (*don't forget, we're proud to be purely digital. The only way to read us is right here online!) Frankly, it's so jam-packed with Dorset goodness, it'd be rude not to.
The BV is the rural monthly digital magazine from Dorset, this year awarded 'Best Regional Publication in the UK' (Newspaper & Magazine Awards)
