Last
year I reported on the Island of Anglesey. This year our travels
have taken us to Dorset – it's as easy as sticking a pin in a map
and see what you come up with.
Our
mission in recent times has been to choose beach holidays in the UK
so we can take Rose and not have to wrestle with hanging around at
airports and having to leave our dog behind.
Our
choice was governed therefore, by two criteria, it had to be near a
beach and the sea and it had to be a place in the UK that neither of
us knew – new adventures!
We
chose Lyme Regis in Dorset and that choice came from John
Fowles' novel, The French Lieutenant's Woman
– a classic that I read in the early 70s – I shall pass over the
film …
I
digress. We rented a large house with parking and off we jolly well
went. Rose packed her bucket, spade and a selection of balls for the
beach!
As
one does when going on hols you make sure your hairdressing
appointment is before you go – am I glad I did. My hairdresser
Steve hails from this neck of the woods and before I left the salon
he reminded me he'd recommended a great place to eat, on the beach,
near to Lyme and was kind enough to give me the name.
Top
of my wish list is a dog friendly place to eat – a great location
is a bonus oh and of course the food has to be good – not hi
falutin' or posh, just good! Steve assured me that The
Hive Beach Café in Burton Bradstock was
a yes, yes and a yes!
Thank
you Steve … what an absolute gem! There's a shed load of Rocky
Road heading your way.
