On a cold, frosty, blue sky morning the most difficult decision for me is where to wander! The early walk is for the dogs of course and it is always good to let them run off the lead but when one of them is a Lurcher that can be difficult around here. So, after yesterday’s slightly shortened walk along Studland beach I broke with tradition and went to the same place two days in a row.
Studland is perfect for the dogs, especially early before more people arrive, and this morning it was just that. I mentioned the blue skies and frost earlier but unlike yesterday there was no wind and the only sounds were the waves lapping against the sand and the distant rumble of the chain ferry bringing more welcome visitors to the Isle of Purbeck.
There cannot be many better ways to start a day than a walk on a deserted beach, wearing out a couple of much loved dogs, with Old Harry appearing above a mercury sea, silhouetted against a clear blue sky.
