I went to Dorset today. It was lobvely to see the family. We had fish and chips for the chippy on South Street, that used to be my favourite after having been to the Rex (the cinema).. I’d get a pastie and chips – I used to like their pasties. Lunch was very nice.
It was lovely to have a wander around the town. I have no idea if I saw somebody I might have known. We reminisced about the different shops that have closed down or, indeed, may still be running. I even bought something in a shop that is celebrating its 100th anniversary of business this year.
We had a walk around the market on the quayside of the River Frome. These three ducks made me chuckle. They were a literal demonstration of the expression “Swimming against the tide” and staying perfectly still. They seemed entirely nonchalant about their zero progress.
This last picture is of St Mary’s Church – this is a special place for our family. Many memories, both happy and sad were created here.
