This morning we headed down early to Swanage, undoubtedly Dorset’s premier east-facing seaside resort*. We were intending to paddle, but for reasons I’ve already forgotten, never actually got on the water. Instead we ended up walking around sightseeing and scrounging breakfast at friends’ houses.

After I left you guys last week, I drove into Swanage for some food, and had fish and chips on the front. The place has very much the feel of a traditional english seaside resort - tourist shops, amusement arcades, promenade etc. There’s something strangely pleasant about a traditional english seaside resort.
Yes, Swanage has a certain appeal, once you ge past the tacky Kiss-Me-Quick aspects …
That top picture is very amazing!
Well, that’s just what the light was doing! No Photoshopping involved on this occasion.
