Ali's Birthday weekend - Nutmeg Cottage, Osmington



We are back from our fab weekend away at Nutmeg Cottage, Osmington.  It was great being able to leave the car and just walk everywhere. We chilled out completely (apart from a trip to O-Three - but that's another tale!).  The cottage was amazing and we don't think it could be ever beaten! 

We where ready for anything after discovering the cottage on a last minute deal on eBay. 

Nothing could have prepared us for a wonderful warm stone cottage with the most amazing inglenook fireplace and stone staircase. 

We would definitely recommend this cottage for a romantic break or a fabulous stay in between some of Dorset's great dive sites (Swanage - Portland!). 

Osmington is 5-10 mins drive from Weymouth centre (on the A353) and has two good pubs you can walk to (Sunray - Beefeater type and the The Smugglers Inn - Happy Cheese Style) and good walks (along the cliffs to Lulworth or Weymouth or to the White Horse). 

The pictures attached give some idea. We back to the diving now, so we look forward to seeing you all down the pool on Friday.

Superheros Crimbo & Early New Year Drinkies

Thanks to everyone who attended, we had a great time and it seems a good night was had by all others including:

Batman, Escaped Criminals, Cat-woman, Rudolph, Trinity to name just a few. 

Tink was still nursing his frail body well into the evening on Sunday as his Batman powers had frizzled out after his second taster of the green stuff (Melon Snaps) or was it the Southern Comfort. 

It was good to see John up and about, who may I say looked rather fetching with his new hair do.

Thanks to Carol for the extra nibbles & taking all the pictures... I am sure she will make them available soon - much to my delight!

Hope Tink has given you the plate back now that we have demolish your scrummy dessert - it was looovveeelllyyy...
