I have been absent from here for a while as life became unexpectedly busy for a few weeks, starting 3 weeks ago when Richard came off his bike on our lane swerving to avoid a speeding taxi coming round a blind corner and managed to brake his arm! Fractured his elbow to exact, we spend a fun day in A&E getting it x-rayed to check and sure enough a lovely little break, 10 days before we where due to go to Dorset for a holiday!
So that was him all slinged up and unable to cook, wash-up or drive that car (very frustrating for him!), so we had a few frantic days of hospital appointments and holiday prep not to mention try to get work deadlines out the way!
Anyway, we finally managed to get sorted and went off to Dorsert last Saturday, we went with my Mum and her dog Doug and stayed in the little village of Chideock . Wow what a cute place, we stayed at a lovely place called Stoke Cottage (which I would highly recommend to anyone wanting a holiday in the area!).

Imaged borrowed from the owners Facebook page as I stupidly forgot to take a pic of the cottage, take a look at their page for more pics, prices and availability.
Dorset as awlays was totally lovely, so many cute places to visit! I luckily found out about a great vintage market which took place on the sunday in Bridport at the Bridport Vintage Market on the St Michael's Trading Estate, this is a really cool old warehouse complex that houses various bric a brac shops and artists studios!
There where so really cool bits and pieces and some really high prices! We did manage to find this really cool old record cabinet from the 60s on my favourite sputnik legs. Luckily not to big either so we could fit it in the car home with us!
There where lots of other cool stuff and as usual I got so distracted I forgot to take proper pics! Here the few I did think to take.
The open studios where brilliant, I love a good poke around other artist work space! Rich and I where very jealous of what nice spaces there where and some really stunning art work too.
We took a trip down to Corfe Castle which was very impressive (but busy as hell, sooo many people!)
Although Doug is convinced everyone wants to be his friend!
We also went to one of my favourite National Trust houses, A la Ronde. Looove this house, its just so cute and full of shells in every room!
Such an excellent holiday, I could go back tomorrow! Dorset is just beautiful even when its overcast.
I will hopefully get myself a bit more organised and back to more regular blogging soon!
