I was in Weymouth this week visiting friends. The last time we were here was for the Olympics – Faye having been a keen sailor in her youth has never lost her interest so Weymouth was a must then if for no other reason than to witness Ben Ainslie winning his gold. Needless to say, there is now huge interest in the Americas Cup and whether he can pull off a stunning victory in Bermuda.

The weather this week has been brilliant in Weymouth and were it not for the temperature and a lack of tourists you could be forgiven for thinking my photo had been taken in high summer. Friends tell us this part of the south coast has its own micro climate and it certainly felt like it. 

Nearest Caravan Club Open All Year site is Hunter’s Moon in Wareham.

The lighthouse at Portland near Weymouth.

Faye and I spent most of this week in Weymouth, Dorset watching the Olympic sailing and in particular willing Ben Ainslie to win gold. And this he did this afternoon so many congratulations to him at the end of a very tense campaign which did not look too good earlier on!! This is his fourth gold which makes him our most successful Olympic sailor ever.

I am loving every minute of the games and yesterday – Saturday – was simply a sublime performance by Team GB.

A very happy holiday post card from Weymouth!!
