(and a bit in Devon)
Lovely little hotel Abbots House in Charmouth Dorset
I want one of these combined bathroom/bedrooms at home

The usual self portrait on the Charmouth Beach
The almost non-stop train from Paddington to Taunton at Friday lunchtime, pick up the rental car and drive the 45 km down to the coast gets you there in time for a nice stroll on the beach before dinner.

We set out from Beer for our Saturday hike.



What did you find?


This really is a very beautiful stretch of coast. 



Magnus ahead on the trail down




Ulrica did go for a swim. Nippy but very nice.

Very pretty village - Branscombe

Local mussels for lunch at the pub. 
Lyme Regis and dinner at Hix Oyster & Fish House
English lunch in Branscombe: Celery-walnut-blue cheese sandwich and a glass of Elderflower cordial in the garden of the National Trust old bakery.

A marks the spot!
