A long weekend in Dorset

<><><><><>Some great walks along the coast and the weather was very kind.  <><><>

Durdle Door is a fascinating formation.  Andy had given us the technical description of how it was formed but you'll have to ask him for the details.
Chesil Beach- below - a strange place.  I wanted to see it after reading Ian McEwan's book - beautifully written but SOOOOOO sad
The lighthouse at Portland Bill
Gold Hill, a VERY steep little street in Shaftesbury

More photos of Durdle coast - not having much luck with this new version of blogger - it drops the photos in all over theplace and doesn't allow me to move them easily.
After church on Sunday we went to the coast around Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door.
The countryside through Dorset and  Wiltshire is just stunning - rolling hills and lots of small farms 
We stayed in another of the Go Slow B&Bs - this time it was Frampton House out in the countryside near Dorchester - really beautiful
