Along the Jurassic Coast

 

Today I was to travel from Brixham to Hayley and Rupert’s new house in Southampton.

I had looked to see what may be in the area, and saw the Jurassic Coast would be on my route of travel, so had decided to call in at Lyme Regis, Charmouth, and anywhere else I fancied http://www.jurassiccoast.com/ I wasn’t to be disappointed, although once again, the weather could have been kinder.

It was again a dismal dark day, as I travelled along the Devon coastline, with a dank sea mist rolling in, across the top of the foaming waves.

Lyme Regis http://www.lymeregis.com/ was quaint, and Charmouth beach wild and windy http://www.charmouth.org/ with the cliffs being constantly eroded, and falling down, revealing the many hidden contents of many years ago. A great place I’m sure – if the sun was shining !

Having visited the Jurassic coast, and not having made any major discoveries, I carried on and into Southampton… passing the docks, and seeing all the cruise ships lined up alongside the dock area http://www.southamptonvts.co.uk/pinfo.htm I had never realised how long and tall some of these great vessels were !

I didn’t stay around for lng, eventually finding my way to my destination for the night – Hayley and Rupert’s home.

I had timed it well, Rupert just arriving home from work, followed not long later by Hayley, with the ‘guided tour’ of the house, and their proposals for the future fully outlined , great plans, and a nice cosy house.

A lovely meal followed by an evening chatting in front of the coal fire, and being given the cosy bed, in front of the fire in the lounge, great !
