2017 Vacation - Wimborne

For our 2017 Vacation we returned to Europe, the first time for Judy since her accident in 2011 and the first time for Dan since his mum died.

We decided to return to the place where Dan grew up in Dorset and Devon. Spending a week in Bournemouth, hitting the New Forest, the Isle of Purbeck, Poole, Wareham, Dorchester, Weymouth, Lyme Regis, Sherborne, Shaftesbury, Blandford to name only some of the places we got to. Then we did a slightly more leisurely week in Torquay, but still got as far afield as Barnstaple, Dartmoor, Exeter, Beer, Uplyme, Axmouth and even Saltash in Cornwall.

We took literally 1000's of photographs, so it's going to take a while to sort through them all and post them up here. I thought I would start in Wimborne where I lived from when I was just five, till when I left for university at 18.
