The Rabbit and The Horse

Yesterday afternoon once we finished on the campsite we headed off in the car to a beautiful spot for dinner with a view. Armed with a picnic and a towel to sit on we headed up the hill from Swyre Head Carpark.

Chicken salad with a view and only the two of us to enjoy it ❤️

Sunday was our day off after another very busy week, well it was supposed to be a day off but still had messages from staff in the morning work related 😵‍💫

We headed out to Boscoombe to view a car Darren had seen on market place. He has always wanted an Alfa Romeo and now his dream has come true lol
We managed to pick up a 13 year old Alfa Romeo Giulietta for £700. It’s not perfect but it a bargain for the price and means we don’t have to bother others for two long drives we have over our stay at the canpsite with Bertie set up and comfortable where he is for the rest of the season.

We celebrated our day off and new addition to the fleet with a Sunday lunch at the Halfway Inn. Both going for the specials board favourite of Steak and ale pie, mash and cheesy leek. It was very good and filling to. We were happy to be able to sit outside as it was warm but not too sunny. Planning future adventures in our new ride.

The rest of the afternoon saw Darren cleaning the car while I did some chores around the place before an evening horse ride out on Yogi. This was my first ride out with Dan who rode Thomas. The sun had come out and even past 6pm it was still very warm. We rode out across the ridge over looking Studland, Sandbanks and Bournemouth and enjoyed a less stifling heat up there. Then heading to Swanage end we could see Swanage bay too. Some beautiful views and a few nice canters with only seeing two walkers out during the whole ride.

Now we are all set for another busy week with four schools arriving today and a fifth tomorrow. Already looking forward to a midweek day off on Wednesday lol

Happy 23rd Birthday to our favourite young man on his last birthday before he becomes a daddy, which we know he is going to be amazing at. Have a great day.
We love you more ❤️ Mum and Darren ###

Once the rain stopped and the sun kinda made an appearance we made the most of our day off by heading out on our e-bikes for a ride and some lunch.

We cycled to Studland and stopped for lunch at Shell Bay in the garden. The Sea Bream with garlic butter was delicious, the only thing let it down was the pathetic paper knife and fork which folder as we tried to pick food up. When Darren asked for proper cutlery he was told they weren’t allowed outside 🤣

We the jumped in the ferry across to explore Sandbanks.
£1 each for the crossing with our bikes, which seemed to go straight in the guys pocket 😳

We had a little cycle around Sandbanks checking out the beach, the land and wave containers and the sea view expensive houses.
While waiting for the ferry back we enjoyed a 99 ice cream each 🍦

We took a windy cycle around to Swanage to collect my medication from the pharmacy and then do a little coop shop, before cycling the windy hills back home 🚐

Next up for us with Field to Fodder ❤️

Purbeck Valley Folk Festival is a small festival set on a farm on the beautiful Jurassic Coastline. We’re a festival that’s loved by everyone because there’s loads for kids to do, loads for parents and loads for the old folkies!

Had a lovely chilled afternoon off work with home cooked Fish cake, prawns, sweetcorn and rice followed by a lovely horse ride for me. The views on our ride were amazing ❤️
A great end to the day
