Dorset Days

 Stace sorted out car insurance for the new-to-the-family car, and we spent Monday in Yeovil and Sherborne with Sue and Gord.

While out, we stopped at a lovely garden centre, where the hydrangeas were particularly lovely.

We also spent time shopping for a new suit for Stace, for the wedding we'll attend while we're here.

We went into Sherborne for lunch and drinks - such a lovely town, with great medieval charm! 
On Tuesday, Stace, Violet and I went on a little adventure, to Maiden Castle near Dorchester. Violet loved being close to the sheep as we walked around the Iron Age fortress.


We picnicked. It was fabulous.

We then went into Weymouth to check out the beach...
...and around to Smugglers Inn, a beautiful 13th century pub Stace remembers his Pop taking him to.


Violet and Stace walked from the pub down to the cove, where pirates would land in the 17th century.
Before heading home, we checked out the Portland Bill Lighthouse. 
A great day exploring Dorset!
