On Tuesday we steered the car towards Dorset - to Lyme Regis to be precise!
When we arrived it was to fantastically glorious weather. We had a quick trip around the shops before having lunch in a cafe. After lunch we walked along the sea front and to our surprise we saw the tail end of a rainbow! It was literally there one minute and gone the next! Whilst I was phaffing around trying to get my camera out of its case - it was fading in front of my eyes!
The sea was like a mill pond.
No opportunity here for any surfers to ride a wave!
We made our way to the harbour. The tide was in!
There were plenty of seagulls fighting over chips that people threw at them!
I do love boats - but I don't think you'd get me into one of these little boats even when the sea is calm!
Another look at the harbour!
Those pesky seagulls were everywhere - scavenging here and there! We walked along The Cobb where "The French Lietenant's Woman" was filmed.
The sky kept getting darker and darker!
We walked back towards the Aquarium - passing colourful ropes.
And buoys!
I like the pink buoy!
It started to rain - we just made it to the Aquarium as the heavens opened.
We fed the grey mullet.
After a half hour spent at the Aquarium we left and discovered to our amazement another rainbow!
By now the sun was coming out again and shone on the pavement giving it a mirrored effect!
"Can I have an ice-cream, please?"
And no sooner had Our Daughter finished her ice-cream when the skies darkened once more!
It was time to go before the next downpour!
So we did just that!
Until next time,
June.
Looks like a good day out despite dodging the showers!
