There’s been too much going on to write a daily blog these past few days. We’ve covered a lot of ground and visited many places. Instead of trying to write about it all I’m leaving you with some pictures of the highlights.

Remember the old Hovis bread advert from the 1970s? It was filmed on this hill in Shaftesbury…
There’s a wonderful variety of old buildings in Shaftesbury, incuding this decorative thatched house with added roof decoration.
Sherborne is another very attractive town. Here’s the Abbey, which was founded in 705AD.
On our way home down a minor B road, we were flagged down to let a wide load past. I never imagined it would be a ‘Battle of Britain’ class loco, number 34053, named Sir Keith Park.
Today (Thursday) we took a boat trip from Swanage to Poole and back. It’s a fantastic was to see the Jurassic coast and rock formations like ‘Old Harry Rocks’ off Studland.
Old Harry rocks seen on our return trip.

I’ve a much bigger selection of pictures to edit and add to my Zenfolio website, but they’ll have to wait until next week when we return home and I have the time.

Tomorrow’s our last day here in Dorset. We’ve had a fabulous time and the days have flown. I’ve plans to go solo in order to visit somewhere that I’ve not been back to for over 35 years, so watch this space…

I’ve a small favour to ask…
If you enjoy reading this or any of the other blogs I’ve written, please click on an advert or two. You don’t have to buy anything you don’t want to of course – although if you did find something that tickled your fancy that would be fab! – but the revenue from them helps me to cover some of the cost of maintaining this site (which isn’t cheap and comes out of my own pocket). Remember, 99% of the pictures used in my blogs can be purchased as prints from my other website –  https://paulbigland.zenfolio.com/

Or – you can now buy me a coffee! https://ko-fi.com/paulbigland68312
