Another county, another castle

Dorset is very nice. It seems much more open than Cornwall, larger fields. There are lots of thatched roof houses.

We went to see Corfe Castle today. It was built in the 900s and is all tumbledown, but beautiful. We took a steam train to see it! First we took the train to Swanage, a seaside town, and had a look around, then got back on the train and got off at the castle. It was great, and from up there you could see the steam from the train as it drove away. There are lots of kids around as probably everyone has noticed. They were all having lots of fun at the castle. There was a Teddy zip line there.

Geoff has been ably driving us around, with Anne's excellent navigating.

Our little cottage is nice and comfortable, we did not have too much trouble finding it.

I think we will go into Dorcester tomorrow. We can park at a park and ride so will not have to navigate the city.

Jude has a cold and Anne feels one coming on. We cooked supper here tonight. It feels good to just stay in.
