a long weekend

What do you do at the seaside in Poole on a long weekend?





Firstly you see the sea - that's if you could see it through the smoke last weekend when families brought their infants and themselves!










to ride on mini steam engines along Poole Quay.



 Who wants toys when you've got the real thing!













And if you are happy to leave them to it you can always nip in the Poole Arms for a quick one.









Please note, down here they do not just put up any old piece of tarpaulin when they are redecorating!








As a change from the sea you may choose the River Stour at Canford School near Wimborne and watch others doing the hard work.





If it is beauty and peace you need, there is nearby Kingston Lacy where you can admire the work of the National Trust gardeners.

That's my sister up there, the reason for the long weekend, having a chat while I look at the colours of rhododendrons ands azaleas before we stroll on to the Japanese garden.










We did all this but, like Thomas, you can get properly dressed for the occasion and just stand and look at the sea!
