Dorset

We spent five days camping in sunny and idyllic Dorset this past week. Stopped over in London first to do a "rusk drop-off" and popped in to Orchard Close to meet Tristan Field, Dean and Lou's new addition. Congrats guys - he's a sweetie!
We camped at Redcliffe Farm campsite near Wareham on the Isle of Purbeck and spent time catching up with Bruce and Liz Watt and their children, Emily and Gus (who live in Wareham). Lots of "beaching" and "National Trusting" (visiting the Trust's protected coast, countryside and historic landmarks). Had such a good time that we didn't want to come home! The photos say it all...
