Lyme Regis



















 A lot of photos, I know. They are all from my trip with the rents to Lyme Regis, some weeks ago now. I've been pining to visit ever since I read Persuasion and Louisa's dramatic falling off the cobb (silly girl). As soon as I stepped out the car I was inspired. The whole town is so colourful and not as commercial as some other coastal towns. The pastel beach huts and bright houses were such a delight for my camera. I'd love to hire a little hut for a week and deck it out with bunting and books to read during my stay.
After picnicing in the Jane Austen Gardens we took a stroll on the Cobb. One of the highlights of the day has got to be my dad getting a good soaking when a pretty big wave hit the side. I'm sure some of the tourists near were amused too. Overall, it was a very pleasant day. I returned with some fudge, a very red back and a great desire to make lots of pastel coloured dresses.

  2. I love how colourful everything is - so cheerful! Persuasion's one of my favourite Austen books, so I definitely wouldn't say no to a trip here, and it's handy your parents live in such a lovely (and literary!) place xx Rebecca - UK fashion blog
