Greetings from sunny Swanage ( part 2)

The local dogs love to come down to this slipway to swim and play

the harbour wall - more crab catching

a local juvenile resident - one of many but they don't pester

And these 2 deckchairs are beckoning us. Had a few hours just enjoying being on the beach.

Did you build a sandcastle Jenny?

 

No, but watched a few children being covered and one being showered with buckets of sea water which made me smile - all in good fun. I remember how difficult it was to get out without help as it feels like a ton weight is on you.

 

I been there to ......

 

Looks like my kind of place. I must look it up on the map and see if it fits into next year's away mission.

 

I had a look on the map. It kind of fits in with next year's away mission. The only definite (or as definite as it can be) on the plan so far is the Isle of Wight, which has been allocated 2 full days.

 

We are in BIL's static mobile home , high on a hill looking down over the town and the bay.
I've just taken these 2 piccies from inside the 'van :

and the lovely Swanage bay- takes me 40 minutes to walk down into town. I'm not a strong walker but, if we walk and get a taxi back (£4) we can have a drink with a meal out

We were near the Punch and Judy show on the beach yesterday afternoon, it was the last one of the year. All being packed away now until next Summer holidays. Swanage is a great place for families with much to offer. There's a steam railway line to Corfe and beyond - that's where we are headed today - Sunday roast beef at the Castle pub which has been recommended,

Lovely views Jen, if you can get back in october there's a run of squid past the pier there, I expect Scrungee will be there

 

Looks great Jenny - hope you have a lovely day.

 

Is it now open to the public all the way to the end? (after the storm damage this Spring)

 

Not been there since last year, good job we've got our GC reporter on the spot to let us know

 

I'll try and find out - love the walk on the pier,
Jenny

 

Don't forget Studland and Old Harry rocks.
I hope be up at Durlston Counrty Park and Townsend Nature Reserve in Swanage early tomorrow morning unless I'm waylayed by the builders.
