Re-watering Eddystone before the trip to Corfe Castle
 

The pipe was incredibly leaky due to a large split

Here's the promised video clip:

Swanage Railway

We caught the bus from the H.P.B. site to Swanage.
 

 

 

This is "EDDYSTONE" reversing in from Corfe Castle.
 

Uncoupled and ready to head to the front of the train.
Video of this next time...
 

Kingston Lacy - Interior

Photos were allowed inside the house - but without the flash.
Luckily my small Panasonic Lumix was up to the job.
 

 

 

 

 

My reward for trailing round behind SWMBO while she read every single word of every single information  board - twice!
 

Kingston Lacy

The house is near Wimborne Minster in Dorset and is now owned by the National Trust.
 

Shame about the scaffolding!
 

 

 

Here's the new Japanese garden.
 

Square & Compass - Worth Matravers

This is a wonderful pub where the beers are all served from the barrel through a hatch rather than at a traditional bar
 

 

Very unspoilt! - brilliant
 

Newspaper cutting in the bar about the "Farriers Arms" in St.Albans which is my Wednesday lunchtime local - would you believe it?
 

There's even a free museum at the pub
 

H.P.B. Langton House

This was our second visit to a Holiday Property Bond site, this time in Dorset at Langton Matravers
 

As we have now come to expect, everything was first class
 

 

 

Somerset Village! (Rickford)

Here's a village in Somerset near Blagdon!
Have just been told by SWMBO that it's Rickford (14/05/13)
We went to a wedding in Blagdon, and this a a nearby village - I wish I could remember what it was called.
Must have been a good wedding reception?
