Seeing is believing!








We passed this on the way to Kimmeridge. Don't know who it belongs to but must be a football fan to have goal posts on a lawn in front of a house like this!













We stood in awe, high up on the Purbecks, and gazed upon this as well. You will have to click on it to see a scene that called for Wally Emery's mum's standard comment: "I can't understand the price of mutton with all these sheep about Wally!"








Of course. you could turn and look the other way towards Wareham and the western end of Poole
Harbour.

We were off to Kimmeridge Bay but as Welsh Poet W.H.Davies wrote:
"A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare."







And here it is. No sandy beach resort this.













Just a delight of rocks and cliffs and fossils and wading and snorkeling and canoeing and sitting for ages just looking and looking.










This is a clambering about beach for all ages, particularly if finding a fossil gives the same satisfaction to a ten-year old as discovering gold did to an old miner.

And what did you do then?











What we always do; found a pub. This one was National Cider Pub of the Year 2014.
The Castle Inn, West Lulworth.







The pub garden is up a hill above roof level.








The car park is in those trees in the distance.
Hottest day of the year and I left my hat in the car.






I was quite a sensible person once.


Was a time when I dressed for Ladies Day at Royal Ascot.










Seeing is believing!
