Osmington Mills (Day 2)

Having now survived two nights in Wee Margie moving everything around inside her to better suit our needs we now have a system. This morning whilst John enlightened the neighbours on all things campervan and travelling Angela hired two cold blocks from the campsite shop to keep the cold bag cool. Yesterday evening we put some bacon belonging to our coast path walking neighbours in the bag as the evening was warm. It felt good to help them out, and be part of their journey. Tonight they will be staying at the Youth Hostel on Portland, we have thought about them during the course of the day. 


Lunch packed in our rucksack we walked along the coast path to Ringstead Bay. Along the path we met a lady striding out. She stopped to chat. She enlightened us her husband had bad lungs and could only walk slowly; he was somewhere further down the path so we would probably pass him. She'd left instructions with him that if he fell over the cliff edge to text her!Ring


stead Bay is a pretty little hideaway with views across Weymouth Bay to Portland. After a stop at the cafe we settled ourselves on the beach of shifting pebbles and people watched. Some people are just not designed to wear wetsuits. The afternoon passed by quickly as we warmed in the sun of a beautiful May day. Ice cream anyone? 

Whilst washing up this evening John spoke to our lady neighbour. He told her we had a lovely campervan back at home. Why then were we effectively sleeping in our car? It's all about kayaks. We can carry them on the roof of Wee Margie, but not Large Marge. Is she looking down her nose at me? No Wee Margie. Tell her I'm high mileage like you two. Charming!

John has been a little troubled in the bowel department these last couple of days so tomorrow we will probably stay once again at Osmington. What could be the cause? Wild Mushrooms anyone?
