The Last Supper - Dorset #14

Hello friends! Welcome to the fourteenth post of my Dorset mini-series! Get ready for a fortnight of pictures and posts in which I will attempt to do my summer holiday justice. Here's hoping that the holiday will be good, I'll remember to post every day, and that the cottage we're staying at has wifi (fingers crossed). Thank you for deciding to join me on this little adventure - I can't tell you how much this means to me!

Alas, so we reach the end of our holiday... 

This morning I was mega depressed that we would be going home tomorrow, but my mood soon brightened when I learned that today's agenda was West Bay again, lunch at The Watchhouse Cafe, and dinner at The Hare And Hounds.

We arrived at West Bay at about 12:00,  and set about picking a good spot on the beach to relax for a little bit. Until lunch we sunbathed and people-watched, and I actually remembered to take some photos of West Bay Beach this time (hurrah). Here are the famous pictures in all their glory.

As you can see, the weather wasn't completely brilliant, but there were moments of brilliant sun, which we were more than happy with.

We the headed to The Watchhouse for lunch; this place was the sister cafe of the Hive and my mum and I visited last year. I was therefore desperate to go again and show my brother and dad what it was like. The food there was super yummy and *gasp* I even got to do a bit of celebrity spotting!

Currently the sequel to Broadchurch is being filmed here in West Bay, and so it came about that I saw none other than Olivia Colman when I was eating my lunch! She sat on the table just across from us, which was most exciting. Following this sighting I did try to spot Mr David Tennant, her co-star on the show, to no avail. Oh well.

After all the excitement of lunch, retail therapy was needed, so my mum, brother and I headed to a trinket type shop, where I browsed and helped my mum pick out two fleeces for herself and a statue of a greyhound to go in our lounge. We all then had ice creams - yes, you heard me correctly, ALL if us. Dusty had a child's Mr Whippy with a cone and she ate it all. Every last bit. I know, we feed our dog ice cream. It's weird. But who cares? It's her holiday too.

We then headed home to do some packing (BOO) and then went out to dinner at the Hare And Hounds pub. We had to share our snug corner of the pub with some other couples with dogs, and so spent the evening chatting to them, which was lovely. There was Denise, loud and outspoken but still lovely; Marian, who was really welcoming (she co-owns the pub); and a few other people I've forgotten the name of. Dusty got on extremely well with the other dogs, which was nice, so it was a good evening on which to end the holiday, I think.

And that concludes the second-to-last post of my Dorset mini-series! Just to let you know, I will be posting tomorrow, but that's it for a bit. When I get back I may well take a mini-break from blogging as I've been doing it non-stop for two weeks - I hope you understand! 

Anyway, for the last time, I'll see you tomorrow...
