Last day of the holiday today and we’d saved going to Weymouth until today because the weather was supposed to be the nicest day. Well it was nicer today than all of the other days, and actually it looked promising. It was a little tricky finding a decent car park, we tried finding the “Shop … Continue reading Day 7 – 29th August
We had decided to go back to Bridport on Thursday and then have a meal in the local pub, the White Horse Inn. So we did 🙂 We trawled all of the charity shops, the music shop (which was rubbish), found a key cutting place that sold Victorinox Swiss Army knives, so I (Neil) bought one to … Continue reading Day 6 – 28th August

We still decided to go and as we … Continue reading Day 3 – 25th August

It’s only a 170mile journey to Litton Cheney, which sits brtween Dorchester and Bridport, but it took us 5 hours, without stopping, due to traffic. We used the Sat Nav to navigate around the traffic and got to see some very nice scenery. At one point a muntjac deer jumped out of the hedgerow, across … Continue reading Day 1 – 23rd August
