Lovely blog Bloomer, thanks for the walk.

Thank you S.lad..it was worth going to see..nice little town..just a shame we couldn't film the interior of the church..really stunning Architecture..

Lovely photos I enjoyed my 'walk' :)

Hi Bloomer you chose good weather then
I like the area, so much to see and do, this looks lovely, very interesting.....I,ll look forwards to Bournemouth...
.I always find it a confusing place having to go through the park to get to the sea, its a nice boat ride from the pier to Swanage though.......

Hi Sandra ..
fascinating to see your photos of the old buildings.
Thank you :o)))

Lovely blog bloomer and I think I've tasted that beer! :0)

I'm glad you enjoyed your few days away with Carole and Harry Sandra , there looks to be some interesting places to visit , I wouldn't have fancied that beer either LOL ..

Thank you Sk..glad you enjoyed the walk with us :o)
..........

Hi Pam,and thank you .It was really
nice to go out and about on our own..we had a lovely day..Other days,we went on the included trips to Poole,Portsmouth and Lyndhurst,in the New F

orest..must admit the last one was a bit of a let down,and nothing like we expected..spent the time in a beer garden,in the sunshine! Lol.Well,you can't win em all :o)...there will be more pics to follow,when I get them sorted ..x.
..........
Thanks Terra..we all love these kind of places,from the historical point of view..Nowhere like our own country for all these fascinating places to see..:o)x
..........
Thanks Franny,glad you enjoyed the blog and photo's..the sign on the pub is a bit off putting ,isn't it?
It just made me smile :o)
............
Thanks Amy..everything was great..Hotel,weather and the company of course..even the evening entertainment was good...and thank goodness it wasn't the same beer at the Hotel either ! I think the boys would have done without ! Lol..

Those old buildings are lovely - you can't beat a bit of history can you!
Piddle beer - didn't they even try a 'wee' half?

Thanks Bloomer - I really enjoyed the walk :o)))

Lovely blog, Sandra - pleased the weather was kind to you - did you know there are villages named Piddlehinton and Piddletrenthide - also the River Piddle - all good for making folk smile!

Lovely buildings and pretty flowers, but I don't fancy the beer!

It has so much character Bloomer and the flowers in the graveyard look so pretty. I always like water mills as there is peace around them somehow. What a really lovely day out.

Good one,Scottish..ha ha..glad you enjoyed the history of the priory..thank you ..
............
Thank you Petaltracy,you are welcome to join us on the next one or two,before long..:o)
.........
Thanks Shirley..I've never heard of those village names,or the river..so now I can stop sniggering like a silly schoolgirl..Lol. We timed it right for the weather,didn't we? such a bonus :o)
.......
Thank you Louisa..pleased to share the walk with you ..
.......
Thanks Chris..a very peaceful place..we would have loved to go in the Millhouse..but too early in the season yet ..it looks out to the river too,so it's in a lovely setting..maybe another time..:o)

Vey nice Bournemouth and Christchurch!!!!always loved the places. Nice blog and pictures,

Thanks,Ptg..plenty places to see in the area..might need another visit :o)

Hi Sandra lovely old Church and Priory, very pleasant memories for us to cherish, exploring the pretty village. Just the sort of place I would love to live in;0)

I wont have access to my Computer for a couple of days [decorating and new desk and chair going in, so will put a few pictures on when Im back on line again] will be in touch, hope you are feeling better now! ;0))

Thanks for the trip Sandra it looks like a wonderful area to visit:-))

Thanks Ba..you might be interested in the Portsmouth one soon..:o)

I was strolling along the beach in Portsmouth with Boo (break from toxic waste conference) and met a fisherman. I asked politely, feigning interest, if he had caught anything ..... "yes ... crabs" came his sarcastic reply, Boo fell about laughing. I, of course retained my dignity:-))

Lol,Ba,I would have done the same as Boo..and then pushed him in the sea..or kicked his bucket over :o) rude man...we didn't meet anyone like that,just the opposite,and lots of them :o)

I must say that you and Carole pick some lovely places to visit, the old church looks very interesting and the old mill with its huge weeping willow is the kind of place that just looks so tranquil its no wonder you all had a good time.

Thank you Stroller..we chose this tour because of the places we could visit,especially on our trip free day..and with it being nice weather,all the more enjoyable..in the afternoon,we caught the bus through to Bournemouth..the sun wasn't shining there,and it was decidedly chilly..especially on the pier!!..we were both only wearing cardigans,so I had to don my lightweight cagoule,to keep the wind out! Still didn't spoil a lovely day out :o)

Never visited Bloomer so its a pleasure to see through your eyes, as you know I always enjoy visiting such places and a bit of the history included is always a treat as well.
Lovely photo's, pleased you had a good time..

Rain has stopped play here so taking a tour with all of you is a pleasure...

Thank you Sue..I'm glad you enjoyed it..I love seeing places through others perspective too,especially the history part of them..it's always been a favourite subject of mine....it's been fine and sunny here,but very windy..we desperately need some of your rain..everything is bone dry...water butts half empty already !
