Dorset and camping in terrible weather

Not at the point of wanting to go home but I am feeling abit deflated! The site we’re on has its own private beach which is amazing but the wind is blowing a fucking gale 😆 surprised our tent is still up! It’s the rain that’s getting me down though more than anything, the weather apps keep telling me different things. I need a Pep talk! What can we do other than the bloody arcade ?!

The family opposite us seem to have it really together, tent hasn’t budged in the weather, nice set up having a leisurely breakfast, 1 well behaved child, where as I’ve got 3 kids, one is a pre teen I can’t get out of bed, two toddlers who are absolutely feral screaming and crying constantly and two very stressed parents 🤣🤣

You’re quite west Dorset there near burton bradstock. Looks nice ! Your weather doesn’t look too bad I’ve just looked on Bridport met office, few showers maybe later but pretty warm, quite gusty though. The sea temperature will be ok !
