Low view in Highcliffe

Sunny morning. Toss up between popping over to Poole, Weymouth - or the coastline to the East. Usually take the bus or train, but off season and traffic light, so got the car out for some fresh air.

Went East, 20mn drive, parked in Highcliffe. 10/10 for a flatbread in the Paddle (made in their woodfired oven) topped with a wonderful combination of balsamic onions, watercress, melted manchego, pear and honey. And an added bonus, Flat White made with Extract Coffee. We’ll be back there. Pretty impressive.

Then a stroll, in bright sun, down to the coast with stunning views including across to the Isle of Wight.

Luckily we were back in the car before the rain arrived.
