A brief history of time

Today we went to Swanage. When I was a baby we lived here and I have flickering half memories of my early childhood. I've been going there most years ever since and always love the little town.

For the past few years Durlston Castle has been covered in hoardings whilst the Heritage Lottery fund redevelops it and I was really impressed by their achievements. Outside there is a time walk to introduce you to the start of the Jurassic coast. Inside is a new art gallery and a fabulous display called The Rock which explains the paleontological remains in a huge slab of Purbeck limestone. There's also a lovely café which serves great cream teas.
