The Gad Cliff

The view across Brandy Bay to Gad Cliff as the mist draws in. Access to this whole area is limited and it aches to be explored!

kimmeridge Bay

This is a wonderful place for many reasons. The geology is incredible, the snorkelling is wonderful and the views are stunning! if that's not enough, release your inner child and go rock-pooling!

That Friday Feeling

Don't get too excited, but it looks like we may have a bit of Sun over the weekend! So, after you get the Swanage Lifeboat to wash your car and, after you eat your bacon sandwich, get out and enjoy the weekend!

A Message From Swanage Lifeboat

"We just wanted to let those of you in Swanage and in the surrounding area know that we will be holding a charity car wash again this year. We have a change of venue though, this year we''ll be in King George''s Car Park, Victoria Avenue, Swanage on Sat 26 Jan.

You can get your car washed by the lifeboat crew in return for a donation to the RNLI''s SOS Day Appeal. We''ll be open from 09:30 to 16:00. There''ll also be tea, coffe and bacon sandwiches available while you wait.
Thank you for your support"

Now, I don't know about you, but I will be taking my car down! It hasn't been washed in weeks so it may be better if you beat me to it!

The Last Of The Snow

Well, the snow has almost gone and I didn't manage to get those 'beautiful, blue sky' shots! On the plus side, provided we don't get washed away, the weather is set to improve and I can get out to play again. It sounds strange, but I need to work on the pictures for my 2014 calendars!
Anyway, as a celebration of all that is good about snow, here is a traditional 'Robin in the snow' shot from a couple of years ago.

Still no Sun today, which meant that I couldn't get the shots that I wanted but I needed to get out. A wander to St.Aldhelm's Head is always a good idea and today, with hundreds of Redwing and Fieldfare flying overheadm it did not disappoint. It was incredibly cold though and at one point I couldn't take a picture until my hands had warmed up. Not great for quick shots....

Not Enough Sun

We have had the snow, I just need some sunshine instead of the gloomy, grey clouds that have accompanied it!
Maybe tomorrow....
