it is like living in a fucking cave.

[TaggieMandevilleBlack]

on holiday. No internet. No mobile signal. No sky TV.

DD2 is being weird and autistic about seaweed. DD1 is being teenage angsty and stressed about exam results. DH is breathing loudly.

I am drinking quite heavily and considering starting smoking again.

Sen him to Portland bill to climb to the top of the lighthouse. He'll be breathing and sighing and panting then.
I think they save it for holidays

What about Kingston Marward, small animal park and stately home

Or a walk in Puddletown forest good if you want to loose them

Kingston Lacey Manor House, Blue Pool, Corfe Castle?

Royal Signals Museum at Blandford?

Brownsea Island to spot red squirrels?

All lovely suggestions thanks.

Heading back now to csve.

Am burnt to a crisp and considering suing nivea as their sunblock (spf30) simply doesn't work.

Like a flipping beetroot.

Cave. Heading back to the cave.

DD less tense as no seaweed in lovely bournemouth.

dont do the tank museum it is BEYOND dull although son might REALLY like

Monkey World? The playpark alone there is worth a visit.

DH has been hinting towards the tank museum for the last 16 years.
Sometimes i am so glad i only have daughters horrific gender stereotyping sorry

DDs are too big for playgrounds

Castlepoint for mainstream shops, Pokesdown for vintage?

Monkey works full of deformed monkeys that will scare kids. Plus honks in hot weather.
Moors valley.

Hobbycraft

Hours of entertainment wandering round, then hours of amusing themselves in the cave caravan

taggie the "playpark" at monkey world is huge! As

... As in for older practically teenage DCs rather than 6yos.

Thanks lovelies.

Heading back towards the dark ages. Will check in again tomorrow.

I second Moors valley, loads to do and really good value. My kids 12 and 9 still love the play trail. Also has a go ape. Not so great in the rain though

Paulton's Park is a nice and not too big theme park

Longleat isn't a million miles away

Model village in Wimborne

Corfe is nice as is Swanage.

Old Wardour castle is great and could combine with Salisbury

Have you been to the Smugglers Inn at Osmington Mills? Fab pub

The swimming pool in the cliff at Dancing Ledge near Langton Matravers is lovely.

Fossil hunting at Kimmeridge?

And the sea life place in Weymouth is nice.

Taggie, I would highly recommend getting hobby stuff in, sending huffing hubby off to tank place and getting hammered in the cave while kids glue and glitter themselves!

Hope the weather is better for you tomorrow xxx

RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!

We're about to venture into sealife. Along with every other family in weymouth.

Forcast says it will stop by 3pm. I do hope do.

Funnily enough, that is where we ended up today, the weather cleared just as we were leaving so we went to Weymouth for the carnival.

There's plenty internet in west Wales. I'm on it now

Aha. Ginger. Us too. Which one are you?

Oooooh. Dr Embarrasing Bodies Pixie is just next to us filming on the beach. Argh. I'm looking fat and ugly.
