Images of Rural Dorset

It’s one of those Summers - that the first sign of sunshine and I have reached for the coast. Sadly to say - there hasn’t been many days of good weather - the few days that have been nice I have caught some images of local areas, starting with Lulworth Cove, then dinner in Lynton Matravers at the Scott Arms, back to Bournemouth for a display by the Red Arrows.

Lulworth Cove

Hand painted shells

No trip to Lulworth Cove is complete without a visit to see Chris Stone (yes that is his name and yes he paints stones) and his marvelous and intricate painting of shells and stones.

Dinner at the Scott Arms

A very old letter box dating back to King George V of England, it’s generally hard to find these and I have only seen one other GR post box or wall box as they are sometimes called.

Old fashioned red telephone box

And a old fashioned telephone box. One of the nice things about visiting rural Drrset you find a lot of old treasures, nothing much changes in these areas.

A couple of days later back in Bournemouth - The Red Arrows did their anual air display which is always a big crowd pleaser.
