Durdle Door Dorset
Everyday Adventures

Weekending

my first holiday to the southern coast of England (after 5 years in England, it’s about time) + taking the little man on a new adventure + stunning weather that was perfect and sunny and warm + mother nature at her best + the Dorset coastline with its steep chalk cliffs and clear blue water + checking Durdle Door off my list + dipping our toes in the water and getting our trousers wet + throwing rocks in the sea + feeling the warm sunshine soak into my soul + perfect travelling companions + crazy jumping photos that gave us big belly laughs + giant ham sandwiches and crab salad on the beach + “stick gate” + strawberry milkshakes that we watched the man make from scratch (strawberries + milk + ice cream) + laughing and jumping on the trampoline + an amazing kid friendly hotel + a dog named Snoopy + yummy cooked meals that I neither cooked nor cleaned up after + test driving some new camera gear + starting a new book, a good summer read of no higher purpose than my entertainment + floating around in the cool of the pool + hitting up three different beaches in one day + super tired and exhausted little people who crashed hard + elderflower mojitos + watching him take a wee in the sea like he’d done it for years + digging holes in the sand + filling up buckets with sea water + lying on the beach and relaxing + not being distracted by the TV + having a lovely home cooked meal and feeling like part of the family + the feeling of washing off all the sand and sunscreen, ahhh + a lazy Sunday catching up on robot building time + family fun day + joining in the launch of a photography exhibit at Harcourt Arboretum + finding a secret hideaway with a carpet of purple flowers + spending the afternoon reading in the clam + finishing the book

+++++++++++++++

I’m joining Phil, Leonie, and Amanda in the weekend that was.
