Yesterday, my cousin came down just for the day. I picked her up at Poole station, we walked down to the Old Town, ate fish and chips at a pub on the Quay, then had a tourist-y boat trip around the islands in Poole harbour. It was so beautiful.

The castle on Brownsea Island, where we stopped to pick up more passengers.

Purbeck from the boat.

I got M back to the station just in time for her train. This morning I’m suffering from sunburn. You’d think I’d know better at my age!

Fab weather but very breezy on the water!
All change this afternoon, apparently, so we timed the visit right.

It looks almost as pretty as Torbay, tee-hee! I would say that, wouldn't I, living here?

Hee! Let's say we both live in or near beautiful places. Poole does have the second largest natural harbour in the world, of course ...

Lovely weather, although windy, and so much worse the next day! I'm waiting for it to rain ATM, it's so dark.
