We drive on a little way and park up in a lay-by at the top of the hill to take in the view . To one side of us windswept Hawthorn , laden with berries foretell of a cold winter to come .
Mother Earth provides food for her wild birds .
The view looking across Chesil Beach to the Isle of Portland .
Looking towards Charmouth and Lyme Regis .
We enjoy an ice-cream cone , with a chocolate flake in , from the jolly ice-cream man . Mister Softee ..... Simply the Best !
I can see his cheeky smile as he sits there waiting for his little customers , but yes , we all become a child again , as we queue for our ice-creams .
I do love our English ice-cream vans that play their happy musical tunes to announce their arrival on our streets and down our roads !
Lovely soft ice-cream ..chocolate flake ...deliciousness .....mmm....yum ...yum !
Then away we go again ...along the very uppy and downy road ....
......and at the top of another hill that fabulous view again ....wheeeeee ....and down hill again .....
.......through pretty villages ......
........with thatched cottages .....
.......and lovely gardens .....
Many photos snapped as we drive through .
There is Colmer's Hill ! I manage to take a photo as we drive past .
We will go there again next time we come , this being a very short visit .
Naturally we stop off for a cup of tea at Groves (I do miss the old cafe though ).
Anyway .......
Look what I got ! :)
.....and we are off again ..... to Lyme Regis this time ( if we can find somewhere to park that is ) ....to stock up on delicious relish and chutneys from the Ammonite Fine Foods shop..and my husband loves that he can sample the new relishes and jams etc, on crackers ..oh boy !....and they really are so , so good !
Love this shop !
Stocked up on lovely relishes , and lovely lady wrapped them up so beautifully in blue tissue all nice and safe for the journey home to Cornwall .
....... and away we go again !
