General Chat

I often see threads for different parts of the country,but never from anyone in Dorset.Surely I can't be the only person from Dorset.Can we hear from you if you are from Dorset or living there now--Rose

Rose Don't suppose this counts but our best friends are planning to retire to Weymouth and go there about 6 times a year. We go with them sometimes and once they live there I suppose we shall go more often. They want us to retire there too but hubby won't leave here. Chrissie x

When you are down again Chrissie let me know and I will meet you on Brewers Quay-Rose

Your on Rose:)) I always have to go to Brewers Quay, I love it.

I've just got back from a great day out with No.1 son.We had lunch there.The coffee was wicked,piled high with cream.--Don't even think about it-Hugs Rose

Bet I know where you had the coffee Rose. I had one of those in Brewers Quay last time we were there UUUUMMMMMM

Obviously no one else from Dorset Chrissie-Thanks for replying and let me know when you came down again.I would like to meet up-Rose

we keep our caravan in weymouth all through the summer months. absolutely love it susie

Will do Rose :)))))))))

Sue I sent you a messages ago as I noticed that you had High Wycombe in you Name.I used to live in Loudwater Rayners Ave. When you next come down to your caravan let me know and we can all get together.-Rose

Rosemary.... not from Dorset as you know but me wants one of them coffees!! So i'll come visit in the summer!! :O) And yes that is a threat!! :O)

I think I'm what they call a Dorset Stray..... my family lived there for centuries in Charlton Marshall but moved up to Cheshire in the late 1800's probably cos of the wicked land owners starving all the peasants out by not letting their livestock graze on the land or grow crops. Probably not much good to you though :-) Gaynor

Baz,why are you set on going to Chard? Why don't you come back to Dorchester,much more convenient for Poole as well.I think we talked about your ten years there on another thread.It is such a lovely town.It would be so handy for Poole too.Chard is still a long way from Poole. Rose

hi rose that will be fantastic!! we actually meet up with alfie quite a lot while we are there. hubby would move to weymouth tomorrow but i wont leave my kiddies lol mind you,i suppose they could all move down with us lol weymouth wouldnt know what had hit them with the manterfield clan arriving on their doorstep!! lol susie

Di,the coffee is wicked,honestly the cream is piped in a MEGA HUGE HEAP on top of huge cups.and it is still frothy when you stir some of it into the black coffee beneath.'Oh! I've come over all un-necessary' Yes come and see us.It would be a fun day-Rose

Susie Welcome.all of your clan.The world and his dog head here.There is always so much going on.We have a Kite festival,and Scrambles and trials on the beach,Militry tatoos with huge tanks on the beach and of course trips in glass bottom boatson the Fleet and all of the Saiboarding and Sailing.It is a real outward bound centre.Yes I did used to work in Tourist Information.I'm beginning to sound like a guide book-Rose

Gaynor once you find Dorset you never forget it.It is so much closer than the endless journey down to Devon and Cornwall.As I said on another thread everyone seems to go snorting past on their way through to the South West and never really discover us.The villages are beautiful-Come and find out-Rose

Hi Rosemary, Just found this thread, I'm in Dorset, but only lived here for 3 years. I live in Poole, work in Bournemouth. I had always assumed your island was IOW, don't know why, but I was obviously wrong! Suex

Do I count? My great-grandfather came from Beaminster but had moved to Yeovil by the time my grandfather was born. My great-great-grandparents are my brick wall though and I don't know how long the family lived in the village before that.

Hello Rosemary , I live in Poole have done since leaving the Army in 1991.
