We visited Swanage again today and were treated to lunch in the Pines Hotel, which has a fantastic view overlooking Swanage Bay - it's somewhere you can easily while away time just staring out to sea.
This is the view from the garden of the Pines Hotel,. Their garden has reduced in size quite considerably in recent years due to landslides but the cliff has now been underpinned and hopefully this will halt the erosion. Down on the sand there are a few people......
........ with a drum kit and a camera - what else!!!!!!
More evidence of landslides on the cliffs further round the bay.
During the afternoon we were hoping to get out for a walk but heavy showers kept following us around so we didn't get out until early evening,when part of the beach and Shore Road were closed off because an unexploded WW2 grenade was found during building work on new beach huts. The emergency services were all there and according to Facebook the Bomb Disposal team carried out a controlled explosion later on in the evening and all is now back to normal.
Early evening, all is calm apart from an unexploded grenade!
Colourful beach huts.
Posh beach huts.
Looking up at the Pines Hotel where we had lunch earlier, with it's long gone garden and the underpinned cliff.
You don't see many of these around nowadays.
