Dorset on a dull day

Even on a dull day Dorset still has many an attraction.

This is the River Frome at Wareham, with my 'guide' looking downstream.

Looks fairly empty of traffic until you turn round and face the other way which is looking up towards the back end of Poole Harbour.

On the left is the riverside garden of the Priory Hotel.
Look up its restaurant on the internet and read about the chef alone to gain some idea of the class of establishment it is.



Next, look to your right, and you can see just how rural Dorset is, even when you are on the edge of town.
The Purbeck Hills are in the distance, over the other side of which is the sea.

But, if you like buildings, here they are on the other side of the river near to the bridge;  all restaurants and pubs with except the church.


Good choice of more reasonably priced eating here, unless you pour your soup all down your front which my assistant did.

Can't criticise.  I fell over walking up the bridge. A man ran across the road to pick me up while his wife remarked on the difficulties of life when you've had a sip or two. 
Both accidents even before we'd had a drink.
That's the problem with age. Hate to think what we shall be like when we reach 40.
