The end of the trip, and a continuation of the plan to exhaust the children. After a much-needed Dorset cream tea at Studlands to help us recover from the damp of Kimmeridge Bay, we were going to go into Corfe Castle village to see the model village and let Charlie climb a few huge hills […]

We didn’t see any dolphins…
What I did on my holidays – Wednesday morning
August 26th, 2006 · 2 Comments · Life
Wednesday morning I was woken by torrential rain. Having no clock or watch in the sleeping part of the tent I got up and Jayne and I sat outside under the gazebo and had a coffee, wondering if it would ever stop raining. Then we dug out a watch and found out that it was […]

Another holiday snap for the benefit of Kerron and his obsession with beavers.

Or… another chance for me to inflict my holiday snaps on the world Anyway, the original plan on Tuesday was for the kids to go swimming at Lulworth Cove afterwards, but the weather was a little miserable for that. The revised plan was that Jayne would drop us off at Lulworth Cove and then go […]

On Tuesday we went back to Bovington tank museum. Again. It was my 4th visit to the place this year. Its ironic really as I am basically anti-war, but I do like the hardware and both the kids want to join up when they are old enough. There were a couple of reasons why we […]

One last photo from Tyneham village. I do hope that whoever put up the modern sign appreciated the irony of the juxtaposition.

After all that rock-climbing and kite-flying on Portland we decided to visit Tyneham village. But first we had to find some shops so that Jayne could buy a fleece or jumper – somehow she forgot to pack one and it was getting quite nippy in the evenings. On the way through Weymouth we had noticed […]
Kaiser Chiefs

I saw the Kaiser Chiefs on the TV tonight, playing at the Reading festival. Still entertaining and refreshingly basic. I'm sure they played nothing which most punk bands in the 70's could not have played, and most of their songs lend themselves easily to crowd singalongs. But… They really do need some new songs. Desperately. […]

On Monday morning we headed straight for Portland after breakfast. Charlie loved the place on the previous trip and really wanted to return and climb more rocks. I imagine he also wanted to be able to show his sister around. This is the pair of them climbing the big iconic rock at Portland Bill. Jayne […]
