Down by the harbour

One day when the children were still at school I had rushed into town and while hurrying back to the car I noticed another mum and her parents sitting down by the harbour just watching the world go by. How I wished I had time to do the same. Today life is less hectic and I can now spend more time wandering around the harbour........





There always seems to be something to see - whether it is reflections in the water or different boats moored alongside and sometimes there is a chance to buy the produce!


 The marina found within the inner harbour is always full of yachts and smaller boats there aren't many "gin palaces" here!


I also like to walk amongst the old cottages  -





                                                   catching glimpses of the harbour below.


The seagulls are always never far away! I'm not sure these bird feeders were designed for them!


The Black Death In Weymouth and PortlandThe harbour played a part in the death of between a third and half of the population in England in the 14th century. A ship arrived in the harbour from France in 1348 and on board was a sailor infected by the plague. Villages close to the harbour soon became infected and some of the villagers took refuge in other parts of the country and spread the disease even further. How terrifying this must have been.
 Has anyone been watching Broadchurch on ITV on Monday evenings? It is a detective drama based around West Bay in Dorset starring David Tennant. If you saw it this week did you notice the yellow hut that they were searching was the same one as seen here last week!

Thank you all your lovely comments and welcome to my new followers Laurel , Melissa, Jennifer, Amanda, and Leanne. I can't see apart from Laurel and Leanne that you have blogs, if you do please let me know.

 I hope the weather is warming up with you, the best part of this week has been freezing here! Do you have a favourite place you return too again and again where you can watch the world go by?
