🌧️We got away for a few days .🌧️
🌧️ Fossil hunting in Charmouth . It rained ....we don't care ! 🌧️
He found ammonites .....
I gathered beautiful driftwood and .......
We visited Montecute House , Lyme Regis , Symondsbury Hill , Chesil Beach 💚 West Bay , Burton Bradstock , Glastonbury , the wonderful Groves Nursery .....where we had coffee and chai and shared a huge cinnamon bun ....and yes 🌿 I spent ages walking around and around the glasshouse with all the lovely indoor plants 😃 and bought a couple of ferns before being dragged out of there ... 🌿 .....but mostly we were fossil hunting on Charmouth Beach .🦕🦖🦈
Spring is well on the way , we saw lots of the sweetest little lambs , golden catkins and snowdrops in the hedgerows . I was surprised to see Mistletoe growing up in the trees . I don't think I have ever seen Mistletoe growing in the wild before . So beautiful .
And all the pretty country cottages ! So lovely !
The Somerset cottage we stayed at was probably a little too far inland from Charmouth in Dorset for us , but it was on at a good price and it was nice to see a little of the beautiful Somerset countryside .
🌧️Huge puddles , roads and fields flooded and teeth jarring potholes ...🤣 same everywhere really isn't it ? ! 🌧️
The country roads , unfamiliar to us along with the driving rain , we made sure to be back before dark .
............sketching and doing my embroidery to just the sound of the rain on the window .
Very peaceful 🌧️
no internet , no radio, no telephone
Husband sat watching his American football on the tv in the other room 🙄 🤣
The cliffs are constantly slumping and slipping , we keep well away from them and gather our fossils from lower down towards the shore .We don't smash rocks , there is no need . We didn't find much this time , but have over the years had some great finds . Ichthyosaur , Plesiosaur vertebrae and bones , teeth , garpike scales , as well as ammonites , belemnites and lovely crinoid sea lilies ..all without the use of a geological hammer .
Enjoyed fish'n'chips in Morrisons Bridport .
Then thoughts turned to home ....
🌱🌱🌱 Hoping and praying that my Sweet Pepper seedlings would still be alive ! The lettuce and Leek seeds just sown in the shed ! 🌱🌱🌱
" The Coming Home Trees "
It rained just about everyday and it rained all the way home .🌧️🌦️🌧️🌧️
Dashed straight away upstairs ! All is well ! They are fine , phew ! I immediately sowed my Tomato seeds and gave everything a drink .
🌿🍅 It's official .....the Tomato seeds have been sown ! 7th February 2026 🍅🌿
A parcel had arrived !
Amorphophallus atroviridis tuber/corm/bulb /thing

Oh ! It is good to be home !
