I ended up last night at the Bridport Arms Hotel, where I dined on Lyme Bay scallops. Very nice too. They were matched with black pudding and apple mash potatoes. Sounds odd, but it worked. I tried out the entertainment place at the camp on the way back. I can never understand why they have the music so loud. Especially when the place was mostly empty. I stayed a few minutes, then 'Bingo Time' was announced - so I left. Returning to the van, I watched a couple of recorded programmes on my computer, then climbed into bed about midnight. Reading lasted about an hour and I woke up at about nine.
Being sunny again I walked to the seafront after breakfast and took some pictures. I had prepared a sandwich for lunch and ate this after I had walked along the pebble beach to the next small settlement - named 'Eype '. I took a slow walk back and found a large jellyfish stranded by the tide.
It's very pretty here. There's not a lot to do except the beach and sea related stuff - like fishing. It's oddly unspoilt, and that's good. However ii is as though it has been 'discovered' by the Broadchurch followers, and this has led to an unexpected surge in tourism. Many of the older buildings are in the transitional stage, being converted for new uses.
I'm sitting in the George at the moment, having just eaten fish and chips. If you do the same, avoid the mushy peas - they're minted!
