Hengitsbury head beach huts

What to do for the day. I love these pics taken using hipstomatic they evoke a sixties beach scene. The huts here are so surreal. It's almost impossible to find an identical design. Today we caught the land train to the Bournemouth side of Hengitsbury. It's cheap and fun for the kids with a big iced cream at the end.
We thought we'd check out the beach and a gentle stroll turned into a full fossil hunt. Every stone became a dinosaur tooth which was fun until your hands dry out. It's quite a way round following the sea shore but a very rewarding hour as the IOW provides stunning views of the Needles.
Rounding off the day with dinner in the restaraunt did produce a £205 bill for burgers and chips. Quite a shocker really but then it was £25 a bottle of decent vino planco. Time for bed now what a great day in the wild.

Mudeford mornings

The sun has got his hat on and the children are out to play. This is what it's all about on the south coast of the uk.

Muddeford beach huts in April !!!

We've booked into a beachhut in mudeford south Dorset. This is great when we had 20degrees in march but mid April its 0degrees at night which is pretty chilly for a glorified garden shed. Add to that a little rain and the need to BBQ. More to come.
