We were a bit pushed for time off this year with my work,
Eleanor not being well, Verity being at University and Yoke’s work but in the
end we had a week out for the 1st week of September. Given the
finances it was decided a week in UK was best value for little money so then it
was ‘where to go?’
It was deemed a bit unfair to go to Cornwall with Verity
being there in Uni and we all had fond memories of Charmouth from a camping
holiday we had there quite a few years ago, so the decision was made. Dorset it
was to be, Jurassic coast between Lyme Regis and Weymouth. In the end due to
when we could book somewhere we ended up just a bit north of Beaminster. The
Granary cottage, the owners were very nice and friendly and it was a nice
location and very relaxing.
Much scouring of maps and ‘things to do’ etc and plans for
the days were made, Fossil hunting on the beach, Gardens, more fossil hunting
on the beach, more Gardens, a day in Lyme Regis, a day at Escot to introduce
Verity to some red Squirrels, some general bimbling and lots and lots of
photos.
I think it was a success, the weather held and we had some
lovely days, saw Red Squirrels, found fossils, saw the highest powered fountain
in England at 160ft. Took ‘just a few’ photos, this update will be split into a
few sections I think.
