Walk along the Jurassic Coast

Created: 26 September 2010

walk to seatown
Halfway to Seatown.
I'm not usually a big fan of walking. All that fresh air and greenery, plus usually wind and rain, as why would you do it whilst sunny because you might as well be down the beach.

We were over in Bridport a couple of weekends ago and ended up doing a refreshing walk down on the Jurassic coast.

They drove down some windy road through Eype and onto a small car park by the beach. The coastline is definitely different to that around Bournemouth and the scenery is different to the New Forest as well.

We headed up and over the hills towards Seatown, which had a handy pub called the Anchor Inn to have a stop.It was forecasted to be wet but ended up being very sunny instead. It was nice that there was a cooling breeze coming in from the sea.

Having done it once I would do it again. Even Mark and Louise saw my Facebook photos of it and they went the day after.

Filemaker Pro and Go

Was up at Apple HQ in Stockly Park yesterday. Having worked in Mac-dom for umpteen years, this was the first time at Apple. I saw at Apple, we were quickly herded off to the left into a presentation room.

We went through the latest release of the Filemaker Go software for iPads and iPhones. Pretty neat. I do have to question why it is so hard to roll out multiple iPads for a business. Having to have iTunes and different accounts with credit cards seems so much hard work.

Hopefully Android etc will push Apple in the right direction if they really want to take it beyond a consumer product and into the business/enterprise arena.

Interesting bunch of people. Got some new ideas to add onto the QR Codes quest, things like push notifications, web services/SOAP and so on.

Summer is nearly finished. We saw the last of the summer fire works down on the beach on Friday. It was the first time in a long while where it wasn't windy or raining. Just a small turn out this year.

The family have left, even though little Joshua asked if he could stay forever. Initially it was for an extra 14 days but changed it to forever.

We went to Moors Valley Country Park which was great fun for the kids. I even thought the water play area down Boscombe Chine was pretty good as well.

Some photos on Facebook: Summer 2010, nephews, friends and all.

Unfortunately we had to move some guests, sorry Graham and Corinna. Laura, Finn and Tate were late bookings into the bargain as well.

We all try and get involved in the local community scene in Southbourne, Dorset.

When I have time, I try and update southbournegroove.com with snippets of news and events.
