Sunday Morning

Sunday morning saw us on a walk to West Bay, as the sun was shining and a little frost on the ground, even eccentric daughter decided it was time she had an airing!  We walked all the way by the river, under the bypass and into a different world, yet only a few minutes from town




Passing furry friends along the way, going about their business


These lovely horses all warm and toastie in their jackets

West Bay

All the time we used to come on holiday to Dorset, I never really got on with West Bay, I couldn't really put my finger on it, there was just something, but over the months being here, this little place has really got under my skin and I love it now, the sea, the little huts selling food (although the coffee today wasn't upto much), the fishing boats, love it in the summer when theres lots of people and bustling, in the winter when its quiet and calm and lovely that were able to walk there.




Eccentric daughter took an 'architectural photo'
How many people have been through this old gate, the metal worn, perhaps my great, great, great grandad walked through it, who knows.



Plenty of these around

On the underpass someone has written words on the tiles, not rude ones, which is a surprise, quite meaningful ones really, didn't have a pen or might have been tempted to write something myself!



Think my daughter has a thing for gates, but I do love this house, over the months it has been lovingly brought back to life and now painted in a rather fetching green, the upstairs window has cushions against it, perhaps they have a window seat, would like just a little look...




Doggy very tired now and having a nap

  1. Lovely! I enjoyed my walk with you to West Bay. We camped there with my parents years ago and I was allowed to take a school friend. There was a small fairground and we had a huge crush on a scruffy lad working one of the rides. Steve Harley was in the charts, so that showed how ancient I am LOL

  5. How nice it is to discover your blog, I only find time to go through it now! I have been to Dorset only last year. It must be heaven to live close to the sea and being able to reach it just by a little walk. Last Friday on the flea market, I saw a picture and it really looked so much like the portrait on your blog :-). Must be exciting to have an eccentric daughter - I too love gateposts and gates itself.
