Day out with Dad

I woke up very early this morning and had a cup of tea, not quite in the right time zone yet!

It was very foggy, so didn't look too promising for viewing the countryside! I had a date with my Dad but before I could do that we had to pick up a hire car, which although very much smaller than I'm used to, its turned out to be a nifty little number and will serve us well in the narrow lanes of Dorset.

After breakfast Pam and I walked up to St Anne's a little Church where apparently my Mum used to go to when she was at school in Weymouth, my niece got married in there too and I took the wedding photos, it's very small and pretty inside the pews are white with flowers painted on them, this is the top picture. Primroses are flowering all around the graves.

I picked Dad up and we went for a drive looking over the hedges and through the gates, a typical farmer thing! up and down country lanes bringing back memories, and seeing what farmers are up to.

Mean while Pam was exploring Portland with my Sister and Terry.

The photo of us on the bridge I got by putting my camera on a fence post, we went hunting for this bridge and found it down a dead end narrow lane, we have a photo framed at home in the office of hounds coming over it probably 40 years ago.

Dad and I went to The Saxsons Arms in Stratton a very old pub for lunch and had a huge portion of Fish and Chips and peas! Didn't need a meal tonight. When we came out the fog had lifted and the sun was out.

The farmland in the photo shows the chalk pastures and downland.

The little church is at Wynfred Eagle a small hamlet.

The daisies are on Dads lawn soon to have their heads cut off, couldn't resist! Lens baby.

Special Time, Dad was not at all well on my last visit he's 92.
