So it looks as though for the first time in ages, the weather is going to be nice for the May bank holiday weekend. I know, we can hardly believe it either! Usually, it’s non-stop bucketing it down and traffic queues the length of the country. But this time it looks as though we’re in for a dry long weekend.

Perfect time to pack up a picnic, pile in the car, and get down to the coast. We’re thinking blue skies and sand between our white winter toes. The screech of seagulls and the sharp, salty tang of the sea in our nostrils – and a picnic hamper with a nice chunky cheese and beetroot and apple chutney doorstep in it for lunch – both Godminster, naturally! We might even venture along the coast for the Lyme Regis Fossil Festival, which is great if you want something a little different to entertain the nippers and it’s been known to bring out the Mary Anning in bigger kids too. Whatever you’re planning for the bank holiday, enjoy!
