Have booked an apartment for a break by the sea, visiting Lyme Regis in Dorset. Booked for a holiday / break before the Christmas rush and also hopefully to do some photography. First day travelling, weather was changeable, sunshine and showers with promises of better to come so I had my fingers crossed. Arriving in good time we had a drive through of Lyme Regis, identifying where we needed to pick up the keys for our accommodation then driving out to a farm shop we had identified on the internet to pick up some fresh local supplies to keep us going.
It is surprising how quick my other half starts finding additional items to purchase other than food when we enter a shop, but hey, we are on holiday so go with the flow😁.
The car park for the farm shop overlooks the sea so could not resist taking a picture when we were greeted by the sun coming out while we sat in the car drinking a cup of tea. I had to use my phone as my camera was buried in the boot of the car with all the other 'necessities' we had brought with us😉.
Once stocked up we picked up the keys for our pad for the duration and 'moved in'. SO initial feelings were this will be very comfortable, having a open fire for those cold dark evenings. Once settled it was time to get our bearings and look for a nice fish and chip shop in order to purchase our dinner, had not planned to cook the first night. Dusk drew in we decided on a drink (Dorset Gold Ale) and a packet of peanuts and crisps to finish our tour before heading for the chip shop and back to the lodgings to eat, it was too warm to light the fire on this occasion but that will come, near freezing temperatures forecast for day 2.
