Weymouth to Malaga in 24hours

What a strange experience? I was asked at short notice to attend a business meeting in Malaga on Thursday! We landed in Malaga at 8pm Wednesday and had a quick stroll to the 'Restaurant Juan'. I ate a lovely grilled Red Snapper, battered anchovies , fried sardines and some strange salad medley. After spending the night in a cigarette smelling Hotel room, Thursday morning soon arrived where we left the Hotel and travelled to our business meeting. Three hours later and the meeting finished, I finally managed to find five minutes to enjoy the Spanish heat, then the Taxi rudely arrived to take us back to the airport, where we ate lunch which consisted of a smoked cod baguette, which was fantastic, followed by a chocolate souffle. Finally arrived back in Weymouth at 9pm, and very exhausted.
I have come to the conclusion that travelling abroad on business is serious stuff.

Tout Quarry

Today was such a nice day, the children wanted to visit Tout Quarry again, so with my love of Portland I could not wait to go!!!. After my reluctance I was pleasantly surprised of the surroundings of the quarry.

Say hello to the stone quarry bear.

Oliver & Jacob managed to find this old fossil.

Planet of the apes is going to happen one day!

No ape just an old relic in his stone throne.

Mummy touching a smooth piece of rock hard...... stone!

The wise old owl!

View from Portland... not long to go and I will soon be back with the sane!

Rebecca enjoying the walk, until she fell over.

A new kind of mountain goat.

Why are we waiting!!!

Girls either enjoying the view or peeping at something they should not be.

I take my hat off to this place


Tout Quarry is not a load of old bull.

Sealife Centre Daddy Style

Monday morning I took the children to the Sealife centre as school was closed for the day. We came across a penguin who was obsessed by following fingers, a window polishing otter and a dancing stingray.
