Today we left our Cornish chalet a day early so that we can travel on to “La Belle Provence” from Southampton airport tomorrow.<\/p>\n
Again our trusty guide Jane directed us unerringly the 192 miles to our overnight hotel. However not before I put in a slight diversion to Charmouth beach on the Dorset coast when I realised we were passing by it. Dorset’s coast is known as the “Jurassic Coast” because of the ancient Jurassic rocks that make up its cliffs. They’re rich in fossil beds and passing by awakened in me another boyhood passion, collecting fossils. I’ve not done this for a long time now, in fact the last time was probably in Charmouth when on a family holiday about 25 years ago (or more … gosh I really am old aren’t I ?)<\/p>\n
Anyway we could only stop for half an hour or so but it was fun … Although no new fossils to add to my collection unfortunately.
