We had a lovely trip to Blandford Forum, on Monday.
We were taking part in a new fair, ' Vintage at the Village Hall '
organised by a lovely lady, Elaine.
A really good fair...enjoyed by all... and a huge thank you
to Elaine, for putting on such a grand, vintage event!
On the way home, we stopped off at Dorchester.
Whenever we visit Dorchester , being creatures of habit, we always
have coffee in, ' The Horse with the Red Umbrella.'
This little coffee house was opened in 1970.
Apparently, it got it's name from a play, which was said to
have been the very last play to be performed
in a little theatre at the back of the cafe.
I'd love to know more...if you do, then please let me know!
As we strolled around, we found two lovely 'vintage' shops
which had sprung up since our last visit!
Re- loved...a delightful little shop with
some gorgeous hand made items as well
as vintage bits.
I do like Dorchester and I could have happily stayed for much longer!
We'll be back!
;-)
Blandford is lovely and it also has a super costume museum!

Ah the Horse with the Red Umbrella ;) I remember when we stumbled upon that place on that holiday in Dorset, so many years ago! Do we still have the mugs you bought there?
ReplyDeleteI will look out for the costume museum, Margaret!
ReplyDeleteMugs... I think we do, Nich !;-)
