Corfe Castle

Or a BBQ in the rain...

Well it looked as if the sun was going to stay out for most of the day today (which is something special given the past week), so Jules, Peter and I decided to head out to Corfe Castle. The first stop was, naturally, a pub for some lunch. Jules was not feeling too well due to her big night last night, so she was more then happy for the break and the food!

We then headed out to the castle. It is situated on the edge of a village (funnily enough called Corfe) and today there was a village fair in the castle grounds. There were three legged races, egg and spoon races, shots at goals and cheap crap for sale. It was pretty cool to see! The castle itself is basically a ruin, so there were no over decorated rooms to visit, but it was still very impressive.

We then headed over to Kingston Lacy, a big fancy house built by the same family that built Corfe Castle. It was starting to rain when we arrived and for some reason the house closed early, so there was not much to see. We consoled ourselves with a cup of tea in the shop before heading into Bournemouth.

A friend of Jules', Donna, was having a BBQ at her house in Bournemouth. There was supposed to be Croquet and sitting out in the sun, but the weather put the end to that. We had to spend the night inside, but we still got a BBQ which was good!
