Fish Platter
Here is another food post about our holidays in Dorset. One day, we went to the Taste Café at Chesil Beach, just to see the, well, beach. Also to have lunch, as we had heard good things about it. I had the best meal of my whole stay. It's a fish platter: fried scampies, smoked salmon, prawns in sauce, some kind of mackerell pâté (the best!), tartare sauce, a baguette to go with that and some beetroot salad for vegs. I cannot stress how good it was. A simple café by the sea, next to the visitors centre. I wanted to go back there again, but we didn't have the opportunity. If you ever go this way, seriously, this is the café to go for lunch and this is the dish to order if like me you are pretty much pescetarian.
PS:Literally just after posting this I discovered that the café shut down yesterday, after ten years of business. This is heartbreaking. It's like I was writing their eulogy without knowing it. Really lovely place with friendly staff.

Back from Dorset
If you were wondering why I was not blogging and were getting worried, I thought I would reassure you: we are back from a holiday in Dorset. Weymouth, to be more precise. I am glad we are back, but I am back we went there: I needed holidays. It is a terrible cliché to say, but it is true. I will share more of our time there in the next few days, maybe show a few pictures too. That should help me catch up with my absence from the blogosphere. Otherwise, how are you guys?
