It didn't start out too well when the drive down took us 5 hours instead of 2.5 thanks to roadworks round Bristol, then the flipping sat nag sent us up every cart track in Somerset when we missed the turn off the M5 by Taunton Dean
We were in Devon at one point 
But on the plus side the last part of that long detour meant the drive down the Jurassic coast with some wonderful views including Lyme Regis, Chesil Beach etc and we got there in time for dinner which was the main thing After dinner we went up to a local beauty spot to look at the amazing view out over the bay, then back to sit in their lovely garden room extension drinking wine, chatting and laughing until after 1.30 am
My head hit the pillow and I was dead to the world until breakfast time Poached duck eggs on toast (cooking method not stolen 
) then a fabulous walk over the Nothe (really quite hilly) down into Weymouth itself for a lovely walk around the harbour then down to the beach, where we had a small snack lunch before walking back to the harbour. We decided to take the ferry across which is actually a rowing boar rowed by a really old man, which made me guilty for eating lunch 
Then a walk back, more hills My calf muscles are killing me today Back home then, via J's allotment which looks out over Lyme Bay, to prepare for the BBQ, Mick's other brother and his fiancée and youngest son came, and as J and J's (our hosts) eldest lad was home for the weekend with his girlfriend we were quite a family party
We had an earlier night and were in bed by 12.30 This time I drank rather less wine, but Mick had a skinfull and I had to push him up the stairs from behind to get him up to bed He was very quiet this morning but we all managed more duck eggs, then a walk around Portland Bill which was very windy indeed, then a coffee break at Portland Marina, sat outside in the sun, watching the coastguard helicopter take off Finally a lovely Sunday lunch of chicken, home grown salad, and jacket spuds followed by delicious home made trifle and we were on our way home by 4pm........the tip home took two hours and was a breeze The sun shone all weekend, my face is bright red as I forgot to pack my sunscreen
I look like a blonde tomato
