We all went on a summer holiday

We spent a lovely week on the coast, at Highcliffe where Dorset and Hampshire kiss. Every day was incredibly hot, so midweek we took breakfast down to the beach with us - bowls, milk, cereal and all - and trudged back to our chalet at 11ish, when it was getting uncomfortably hot. I swam in the sea every day; Barney and I made dozens of sandcastles. The days were hot but easy.

Later in the week we enjoyed days out in Bournemouth (where B and I went up in the Bournemouth Eye and doh! I forgot my camera) and the Isle of Wight, which surprised me with its beautiful and dramatic landscape. I'd like to explore it more one day; a walk around its coast sounds rather appealing.
