A slightly different walk today - from my flat in Westbourne down through Alum Chine to the beach, then along to Branksome Chine and back…just gorgeous!

28 hours spent with one of my favourite people laura g Lunch, beach and cocktails on Friday, beach on Saturday before she got the train back to London and non-stop conversation. It’s amazing how even so short a time can just feel magical 🧡

Happy Saturday!

I was down at the beach at 8am this morning - it was cooler than it has been in the last couple of days but still very muggy!

Just quick walk today from Alum Chine to Branksome Chine but still time to have a quick sit down to watch the world go by. Then a short drive home and get cracking with everything I need to do today!

Yesterday evening I decided to go for a beach walk - the weather was just too nice to stay in. Walking from Alum Chine to Branksome Chine and back was so lovely, with lots of people around enjoying themselves.

What a way to start a Sunday! A spontaneous catch up with the gorgeous for a walk from Alum Chine to Canford Cliffs Chine and back again. Stopping for breakfast at was a real treat too.

So much to catch up on - it’s been 3 years since we last saw each other in person but it was like no time had passed. We definitely won’t be leaving it that long for our next catch up!

I was lucky to watch the most amazing sunset over Poole Harbour, one evening last week, and took this series of shots as the sun disappeared behind Brownsea Island.

How lucky do I feel living where I do?
