SWCP: Weymouth to London

 Another great night’s sleep in the silent cottage (below), caught the bus to Weymouth and mooched around for a couple of hours. Heavy showers - glad they waited till my walking was all finished.

Had this perfect-looking coffee while I waited. Weymouth is pretty much a traditional seaside town but there are a few signs of gentrification, including this cafe (Finca) which had a steady stream of customers queuing outside.


The train had its own entertainment system like on a long-haul flight, so I watched Tarantino’s
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood most of the way home, while scoffing a Weymouth pasty. Train pleasantly empty. Covid restrictions are lifted from midnight tonight and all the cafes, restaurants, theatres etc are re-opening so the world will be getting a lot busier. I’m happy I managed to do this trip while everything is still at a more-or-less standstill. Will have to get planning my next one.
