back from a lovely lovely set of mini breaks...first off we stayed four nights in a mongolian yurt down in dorset. yurts are a wonderful way to camp, all the glory of the outdoors and the pleasure of crawling out of the door directly in the woodland, but with none of the damp canvas tent sides clinging to your back as you sleep, nor the hard ground as your blow up mattress slowly deflates...in fact double beds, duvets and pillows make staying in a yurt pretty luxurious (or glamping - but such an ugly word doesn't do justice to how sweet this experience is!) and with the wood burning stove requiring regular stoking and candle light after sunset firmly reminds you that you are indeed camping in a woodland.
anyone a fan of mary queen of shops? and did anyone see the episode with the grocery store in corfe castle? we visited cleall's, see the evidence! looked very cute from the outside but can't help but think that the owners are finding it hard to resist their cluttered ways....

Great memories of this holiday! I can't wait to holiday with you again in the future...! Beautiful pictures Claire (apart from the one of the loon in the yellow hat).
ReplyDeleteyes where shall we go next?! and you don't look like a loon!
ReplyDeleteSomewhere overseas perhaps...?
ReplyDeleteI'm just about to do a bit of postcrossing! xx
I once spent a month in a yurt, easily the best way to live in the world! I don't think we had as fashionable neighbors as that girl in the picture though. Lots of goats, camels and drunk soldiers popped in for a chat...
