My desk, where I work on these pictures, is on the top floor of the house in front of a window with views of the sea to the east and the Purbeck ridge to the north. On sunny days it's so bright I have to wear a hat so that I can see my screen - today is like that, though the forecast is for a return to winter.I've gone on about this before, but I can't help feeling deleriously happy living in Swanage. I imagine for many that would be hard to understand, but I've lived in quite a few places, spent time in more and seriously, this is the best. It wouldn't suit everyone, but that's fine - there wouldn't be room!
I love Swanage in the springtime, I love Swanage in the fall; I love Swanage in the winter, when it drizzles, I love Swanage in the summer, when it sizzles...
This pic was taken late last summer, actually on one of the rare hot sunny days last summer, and while it isn't my favourite heart it shows Ballard Down, a short-ish walk (up a steep hill!) from the heat and bussle of the beach. That's one of the things that drew me back here - I can enjoy the town centre and then walk for 15 minutes either north or south and be in amazing tranquility.
Smug, smuggedy, smug - sorry!
