Swanage

We managed to sneak a few days away in Swanage. The weather was mostly good so we were able to get out and about.

Corfe Castle

 We did not go into the Castle, we'd all been before so instead we went to the miniature village . Its a very good copy of Corfe Village but when it came to nappy changing facilities we were surprised to see this. We thought it was a joke at first but there was nowhere else, so Tom had his bum changed in with all the flowerpots!!

                             
Who is this vagabond??

Jon's dad tells a story of how Jon followed him up a ladder and got on to the roof with him.Jon was 2 at the time! Lets hope these are the only rooves Tom gets on to.

 The gardens are lovely and have lots of things like this in them. I've done a blog from there before so wont put up any more photos.

 After the gardens we went to a pub for lunch. It was probably the most rip off joint in Dorset. So we just had a drink and Vic gave Tom his lunch.

 Although there was a bathroom at the cottage Tom rather enjoyed having a bit of "water play" in the sink.

 Good job that tap is well secured.

 The cottage itself was very childproof so we didn't have to worry about Tom getting into mischief.

 Swanage Bay

 With his new best friend Carl

 While we were there it was the start of pirate week. Lots of galleons and people dressed as pirates.
