The weekend of 23rd and 24
th July 2011, Matt 
Bisp and I had a long weekend down at Lyme 
Regis in Dorset, and 
fortunately the weather had started to improve.
We arrived at out caravan site on Thursday 21st and 
immediately put on our swimming costumes and went in the heated pool. 
Fantastic to go swimming again.
We 
found out by accident that on Saturday 23rd was the start of Lyme 
Regis Lifeboat week, in which all sorts of fund raising activities 
are organised to provide much needed funds into the 
RNLI. Saturday 23rd was also the day for the 12 noon arrival of the 
RAF's Red Arrows display team, and what an emotional display it was.
I had never been to Lyme 
Regis before and found it a 
lovely place and would certainly like to return.

 From the same location looking out towards the harbour entrance, where we eventually sat to watch the Red Arrows.

 Ah, breakfast time, this is where I had a fully English breakfast, tea and toast sitting outside looking at the harbour and its activities.

 The Weymouth Lifeboat also visited and demonstrated how to return a stricken trawler to the safety of the harbour.

 Just a 'snap shot' of the thousands of visitors descending upon the resort in readiness for the impending visit from the Red Arrows.

 And here they come, just enjoy these next few shot. I took several photos but selected these as good enough.
