We have now been to Weymouth Dorset for two consecutive summers as a family and it feels like we have really done Weymouth. It’s a beautiful place, at the heart of the Jurassic Coast, with so much to see and do and so now I feel like I can talk quite comfortably about the vast amount of attractions and excursions in Weymouth and the surrounding areas.

Birthdays

Last month finished with LP’s 10th birthday and I can’t quite believe she’s now at double digits! We saw friends and family for her birthday and went climbing locally. There wasn’t a big party or gathering this year, it was very low key, but perfect all the same.

Have you ever wanted to learn something new, further your education or retrain in a new field? It can be really hard as an adult to work out where to start when it comes to changing your career, expanding your knowledge or gaining formal qualifications.

Despite the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Playground being open for over 20 years, we only made our first visit on a little break to London in the summer holidays. We only had ten minutes to spare, before our booking to Kensington Palace, but we promised the children we’d go back as soon as we could. At that time came at the start of September.

When we went to London over the summer one thing the children wanted to do but we didn’t quite have the time was a trip on the Serpentine with Bluebird Boats. So, when we found ourselves back in London at the start of September we made a pedalo experience top of our list of things to do.

Famous for its beautiful natural Portland stone that is quarried and used in construction all over the world, Portland is also home to a working lighthouse, Portland Bill, and even a castle overlooking Portland Harbour – Portland Castle.

We finished our summer holidays with a pretty lovely week in Weymouth. Unlike the rest of the summer, the weather was kind to us and we had four nights near the coast in a cute little pod. It was quality family time and just what we needed before heading back to school.

Whilst busy on a treasure trail around Church Ope Cove in Portland, or our recent trip to Weymouth, we came across the Portland Museum in Wakeham. With entry priced at just £10 for our family of four, and an enclosed garden area, we were keen to find out more about the island and to rest our feet for a while over lunch.
