Swanage

Started off very overcast and got worse. We had decided we were going into Swanage today no matter what.

We parked in the main long stay carpark and managed quick walk around the Friday market  before the heavens opened.

We spent the next few hours dashing from shop to shop whilst it hammered it down. In between the very heavy showers it was nice and warm.

We popped into the Earthlights  Café for lovely Dorset Cream Tea.

After a nice 3 scoop ice cream on the pier, we headed over to the station for a look at the Swanage railway.

After waiting for the steam train to come in, we headed back to the car and got absolutely drenched in the process.

We called in for Diesel on the way back to the van for the evening. In time honoured fashion, 10 minutes after we got back the sun came out, the clouds cleared and it turned out to be a lovely evening.
