We have had a few cold but lovely outings, around Dorset over the past couple of weeks. Firstly I had an afternoon pottering around Wareham and found a few lovely little shops, The Salt Pig Deli is a great first stop for a large range of local produce ranging from, soap, chocolate meat and fish.
And the food in the cafe looked wonderful with very friendly staff. Then across the road I found a fab vintage shop where I could have spent a few hours rooting through! Due to having Archie with me this got whittled down to 15 minutes! I have put some photos on of Re-loved in Wareham their website is www.reloved.org.uk
Well worth a little trip to Wareham if you like a good furtle through old retro goodies!!
Our second day out was a trip away to Lyme Regis, I absolutely love this place for many reasons, it's full of wonderful independent shops and cafes and it's by the sea!! Magic! So once again I could have spent a full day in the shops, but with little toots on his Daddy's back this was scaled back to 30 min! Most of this was spent in Susie Cole, an amazing little den of all things LOVELY!! Vintage goodies abound, mixed with contemporary jewelry, books and ceramics that fit so well within the shop. And I think the overall pleasure of this gem comes from the beautiful way it is all displayed....I urge lovers of all things pretty and vintage to step inside and enjoy!!
We also had the enjoyment of following Irish comic Sean Hughes around town..who I had a crush on back in the 90's when he was doing Sean's show!! So with a mix of celeb, sunshine, vintage loveliness and watching Archie walk across the beach (3rd day of walking!) It was a successful seaside day away! Oh as we were leaving the beach, I spotted an amazing antique den right on the prom...I think more than 30 minutes was needed for this...oh well next time!
