On Saturday, Stace, Violet and I had a day out to the Dorset coast. on the way, we drove through Hawkchurch, the village where Big Nan grew up. We also drove through Lyme Regis, West Bay and Hive Beach. It was such a beautiful day!
Our dinner view...
...with our fusion meal - Stace had to get fish 'n chips, obviously, but Violet was craving tacos. The Corona went with the tacos but was drunk by Stace, not Vi.
Sweet villages on the way home, too.
On Sunday, we spent the day together as a family (minus the two oldest teens) at Knoll Beach, in Studland Bay.
Violet and I have rarely seen a beach so crowded! There were people everywhere. But we could understand why - great weather and a sandy, not stony, beach. Plus lots of National Trust amenities.
Violet and I took a walk down to the next beach...
...partly through this lovely shaded wood.
Violet was hoping to go to Corfe Castle, but the traffic leaving Knoll was heavy and the castle closed. We did see it from the nearby village, though.
We then all went to Swanage for dinner. The rail station and steam trains were quaint and sweet.
Swanage is just lovely. We found the exact spot we took a photo 15 years ago, on Violet's first trip to England.
Another lifetime ago.
