To Weymouth (look at that sky - we did have some summer!) and a giant sandcastle, built for a hotel chain on a promotional basis by the Weymouth Sandman, Mark Anderson (see 9th July 2007). Inside is a family sized room with sand beds where you could stay for £10 a night and lie and gaze at the stars. We didn't - Mike hates sand.

July 9th 2007

So where is everybody? This is the beach in July?! We passed hordes of cars going out of Weymouth which is always a bit worrying because you think they know something you don't! Found out afterwards the local Race for Life was being held at Kingston Maurward that day. Please notice the blue sky - and the clouds inland!

And this is Mark Anderson, grandson of the famous Fred Darrington, who carried on Fred's work.

Always have to see what the Sandman has made. Durdle Door is really impressive!

It's raining yet again so let's have a few nice summery photos of Weymouth - I promise they were taken this year - summer happened on the 9th July in Dorset! On the coast that is - going home we hit a torrential storm at Wimborne which made us almost turn back again to the sunshine!
