Last of the holiday snaps....


Here are a few random pictures of Lyme Regis. I just loved the harbour and the buildings around the town.



Here you can just see the Cobb along the shoreline










This boat is called a "gig" and Lyme Regis has a very active gig racing club. It was great to watch the boats out in the bay.







Colourful fishing nets around the harbour













These pink cottages are on many a postcard. You can imagine Jane Austen walking through the door of one. However they were built after her visit to Lyme so sadly it's not likely to have been a reality.











Seen from the promenade below.












Pink is clearly a popular colour for houses along te promenade!  This house had quite unusual architectural features - not least the rather elaborate drain pipes!







And that's the end of my Lyme Regis adventure.  No this picture isn't of a tropical island but of the shore just along from Lyme Regis.... who needs the Caribbean!


Below is a picture of the apartment block we stayed in. If you're looking to stay in the town I do recommend Lyme Bay Holiday company.



Right - now time to drag my mind from the memory of warm sunshine to the cool autumnal weather in Orkney!

  2. Yes, we would love to see your islands, too - but what wonderful photos of Lyme, especially your reflection and the nets.
