Lyme Regis


Hey guys!

Last week I went to stay with my grandparents in Lyme Regis, a small coastal town in Dorset. Being England, the weather was typically dull and rainy, and I didn't get a lot of sunshine while I was by the sea (probably around six hours total), so I wasn't able to take as many photos as I'd hoped. However, I did take a few and I'll share them anyway.

I bought some things when I went on a day trip to Bridport with my gran and here's a collage of them:


I purchased a couple of notebooks and a mechanical pen from a gift shop (not that I need any more stationery!). I love the designs on the notebooks - they're so pretty! You'll be shocked at how much (or rather, how little) I bought them for! I also had a wander around the charity shops while I was in Bridport and I picked up a slightly old copy of The Language of Flowers in the Cancer Research shop. Don't you just love the cover?!

I also bought some fudge while I was in Lyme Regis because you can't go on holiday in England and not buy fudge!


Onto the pics I took at the Folk Festival...















Such interesting and unusual costumes!

Paella! (took with my phone so quality isn't as good as the previous photos)

Yummy! (also taken with my phone)


And around the beach...

The Cobb


Sun!

I love beach huts!

 
Beautiful sunset!


Have you ever been to Lyme Regis (or Bridport)? Where did you go on holiday this summer?
Hasta luego!

  1. It looks and sounds lovely. How fun to have time with family and relaxed shopping etc. I love it. Stationery is my one weakness... other than books... ;) I'm going to check out this one! We went to Florida. It was very rainy, quite stressful too. I haven't blogged about the specifics yet. But my husband and I did go to Alaska for work. We had a few days there before work started were we had our own 3 day holiday. I just posted the first today. :) XO -Alexandra

    I haven't been to Lyme Regis in yeeeaaarrrss! I've just brought a house by the seaside and am moving soon though, so I'm hoping i'll be able to have a stroll on the beach whenever I fancy it!
