Many of those places were visited on our family holidays as a child too. I shall certainly think of Enid next time I'm down that way!<br /><br />S xSandra (Cherry Heart)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05632044137338148569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044399031300661767.post-69743738250543641212013-08-29T20:37:01.026+01:002013-08-29T20:37:01.026+01:00What a glorious post this is, Heather!

As for Enid Blyton, my best friend and I would spend hours playing adventure games, fueled by whichever Enid Blyton book we were reading. Happy days! Looks like you had a great vacation. We don't go back to school till the 9th here & we broke up on June 24th!!!! It's been a long summer & I'm running out of ideas to entertain the kids. Even they're getting board of the beach!<br /><br />Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17986230601258342720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044399031300661767.post-40479778045009791522013-08-28T11:18:20.117+01:002013-08-28T11:18:20.117+01:00Still never been to Dorset but I do always associa...Still never been to Dorset but I do always associate it with the Famous Five!

It's such beautiful countryside isn't it and we really felt like we'd gone back to Famous Five times as well - we even drank lashings of ginger beer! We took a trip on the steam train from the bottom of our camp site to Corfe and got ridiculously excited about the whole thing. Your pictures capture it just perfectly.<br />Kate x<br />justpootlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03823474347070110168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044399031300661767.post-8036889066398065792013-08-28T08:30:25.526+01:002013-08-28T08:30:25.526+01:00I can not believe this post.
