Dorset Diaries - Part 2

11th June 2018

Headed to Cerne Abbas and walked down some lovely, peaceful paths into the village to have a cooked breakfast. Whilst gorging on traditional English breakfast delights I was interested to discover that the highway code clearly wasn’t a best seller in this part of the world. Double yellow lines were merely a suggestion, and neat and safe parking clearly hadn’t been heard of. Shortly after that we walked to see The Giant, although he was fenced off and we could only see him from the other side of the valley. No-one seems to know the exact origins of the figure cut into the grass and backfilled with chalk, but he did seem pleased to see us.

Drove to Weymouth in the afternoon and sat on the seafront people watching in the hot sunshine. We then had “the best lemon drizzle cake ever” (according to the other mature tourist) in a coffee shop called 16:52 (I thoroughly recommend it).
