Thanks to Rena George for her =nomination of a blog award - I had it all written out and somehow lost it and it's now late and I'm tired and I can't face going through all that again, so will save it for next week!
Suffice it to say that we had a lovely time. Admittedly, driving towards Tamarisk Farm in Dorset on the Friday in Arctic gale force winds, Mr B was muttering about the inadvisability of holidaying in February. But boy was he proved wrong! We actually sunbathed on two days, had some wonderful explorations of hill forts, the beach at Lyme and Symondsbury Estate, among others, plus a lovely pub, The Crown, at Puncknowle.
If anyone's in need of a Dorset holiday, I can't recommend Tamarisk Farm too highly. It's quiet but near the coast and easy to get to Bridport, Dorchester and other towns, but if you have dogs you can explore on foot without using the car from the house. We just loved it and I can't wait to go back.
We had such a relaxing time that it's taken us both ages to try and get our heads back from Dorset and into work mode again. But we're getting there slowly. I hope.
So here's to holidays - in February, or whenever. Roll on the next one.....

Do you know, I've often found February and March can have really warm days, whereas I can recall a school fete outside in June where my hands went blue with the cold. Kay's birthday is in July and the weather, when she used to have outdoor parties and invite the whole class, was often wet and cold. Tsch, English weather, eh? Glad you had a lovely break. I love Thomas Hardy country.
Oh the English climate! Yes, Thomas Hardy country is wonderful...
Wow! Sunbathing? Sounds absolutely what you needed - so pleased that you got the holiday you deserved.
Chris - I know I couldn't believe it!
Isn't our weather strange? Well done you two for finding a week as lovely as that. Sounds like your great holiday has set you up for whatever the remaining days of winter bring.
Rena - I hope so though we've both found it very hard to settle after that!
Sounds lovely!
Ak - it was brilliant!
