Breathtaking. Beautiful blue skies, green fields, warm sun, blue sea.
On the Purbeck Ridge the view north towards Corfe Castle, across Poole Harbour and on to Bournemouth:
Turn 180 degrees south and this is the view the other way! The bay dead centre is Kimmeridge Bay and just to the left on the cliff line above is the Clavell Tower (here it is tiny but up close in the clip below you can see what a lovely buidling it is - rent it for holidays from The Landmark Trust - not sure about dogs though....), and on to the west - Devon beyond.
Bit spoilt for choice on the views!!
And a couple of clips:
Turn up the sound to hear the skylarks!

Spectacular views of the Ridge, Kimmeridge Bay as well as a closer look at the Clavell Tower made even more famous than it already was as a landmark by PD James in her detective novel 'The Black Tower'.

The chap that did the lime rendering and pargetting on the front and back walls of our cottage and lime plastered some of our interior walls also did some of the lime work on the Clavell Tower. Another Purbeck link for our cottage.
Mandy's Dex joined us for this one as I was passing very close to her door on my way down to Kimmeridge and she had spent half the previous night getting an arm injury sorted so I thought taking Dex out for almost 4 hours would mean one less thing for her to worry about. Therefore today I had three dogs. He stayed on the longline for the edge stretch as he does not have the experience mine have and I promised to bring him back....
Rounding the afternoon off nicely with a nap after their supper! (though for me there were training classes to run all evening)
Another blog entry on behalf of the 'Promote Dorset' campaign ;-)
