Camping in Osmington, Dorset


I have finally got round to updating this blog with some pictures from my camping weekend to Weymouth in August.
When we left London by car, it was raining heavily, as it had been for days. So much for our lovely sunny August holiday! Halfway through our drive, suddenly, the sky cleared! and there was sun! Everything was drying out.
We got to the lovely Eweleaze farm (off the beaten track and on a cliff overlooking a private beach) which is very eco-friendly with solar showers, eco toilets and organic food vans. Just as we had finished pitching up we heard the rumble of thunder, and looked up to the sky to see a big dark grey cloud. So then it rained.

After 30 mins of rain it stopped. It was quite magical really.... where we were camping overlooked the sea, and view was gorgeous - misty and very atmospheric.
From then on the sun came out, and we could kick off the boots and wear shorts and sandals. I had very cleverly brought along my rubber dinghy rowing boat, and took it out into the sea. We went on a long walk along the Jurassic coast which was stunning, and ended up at an old favourite of mine - 13th century Smugglers pub called The Smugglers Inn.
