'tis rather damp in sunny Darzet 2day, resulting in a casual approach towards outdoor activities and/or chores ( walking..., suitably attired in several layers of warm under~garments, topped off with a light, breathe~able, easy to remove water~proof covering and stout, fleecy~lined hiking boots,...don't need a hat,... is really quite a joy in torrents of glorious rain and hammering winds, especially if the adventure destination were to include the comfort of a warm inglenook fireplace, in a cosy inn of repute ( certain reputes~of~ill are, of course, acceptable... ) with the embracing love of a fond one, or should that be the fondled one?...glass or two of a fine deep red followed by a few nite~caps of medicinal Cognac and a hot chunk of Dorset Applecake ...then orf 2 bed with the desire of my dreams for the obligatory cuddle and romp,...( the main reason for ' easy to remove waterproof covering' ).., then shleep and peace.
This was not the case for today tho'. No walkies,..still no bossom.
Now Chesil Bank is a stretch of pebble beach some eighteen miles long and joining The Isle of Portland to West Bay near to Bridport.
Having walked it once, fortunately for a very light~weight and more basic attirement journey the sun was shining and all was warm, I would recommended the trudge through leg~tiring pebble mountains if that's your bag.
Personally, once is enough for the time being, although there is @ least one welcoming hostelry of fine repute @ either end that could be the ideal venue for topping~off a days meandering.

I have discovered three recipes for Darzet Appawcake moi deery so far, plus I shall endeavor to persuade the recipe from Mrs Brown who resides up the road and does make an exceeeedingly good cake.
This avenue, I feel, will be faced against the Official Puddings Secrecy Act of Long Ago,... developed by kind folk who like nothing more than to annoy by taking amazing culinary master~pieces with great fattening properties, portions and proportions, to their graves.
The requirement now is to re~create these three wanna~be master~pieces using the individual recipes,..perhaps throw in one or two extra mixes that I can blend using the ingredients from all three recipes, and do the taste test. ( Brace yourself Rob,....I need an oven...)(...and another guinee~pig...)

With best wishes
'Til Next Time.
I really do like Lyme Regis.
Having spent many a delightful time there, I feel the need to explore4more ...
