French Riviera?

It felt like it in Dorset today.  The weather was fresh (chilly) but sunny and beautiful.  We walked from our campsite to the beach this morning, then drove there this afternoon; we walked along the beach and this skier turned up behind a carefully driven boat – it was up on the ridge, but there was minimal wake and the engine note was muted.  I waited for it to reach the sunny part of the sea . . .

We also saw a thatching operation under way in Burton Bradstock.
