Relocation.

I'm having a snooze in front of the TV after a hard day at work.
We spent the weekend in Bournemouth, having gone down on Friday afternoon to collect the bedding & crockery that we had left down whilst cleaning/decorating as a tenant will be moving in shortly.
We walked to Bournemouth, around the shops & back to boscombe on sat. morning, around Boscombe in the afternoon & then down to Hentisbury head & a walk around the headland in the evening.
Phew!
On Sun. we went to Swanage via the ferry from Poole, where G relived past family holidays.
The hotel was now an activity centre but the beach was still there where his Father sank a rowing boat containing the entire family, whilst his Mother looked on, in stitches.
We went on to Corfe & the castle then along the beautiful Purbeck coast to Lulworth castle & Cove before returning to Boscombe to eat & sleep.
On Monday we set off for the Midlands, going via the Dorset & Hampshire countryside.
We went to Mottisfont Abbey, an NT property, a twelfth century priory converted into a family house after the Reformation, abandoned for a while during the eighteenth century then bought by a society couple & patrons of the arts in the 1930s.
We fitted in visits to J,G & family & B, E & family en route home.
The weather has been amazingly cold & windy but the weekend was fun, we even managed to do the Telegraph crossword, with a little help from aj.
No TV & G did all of the cooking.
