Dorset

Another night away working had me staying at the Coppleridge Inn at Motcombe near Shaftesbury which as you know has a long history with the Morgan's and other members of my family tree and also with Tara's ancestry.
Finished a very hot day and pootled over to the Inn but stopped off at the cemetery in Mapitts Lane in Shaftesbury to visit Mum & Dad's grave. Strange how it makes me feel so sombre even after all this time (17 years for Dad & twelve and a half for Mum), not sad as such but sombre. Took a cloth to clean the stone, it's the only thing we can do for them now, though it wasn't very dirty to be honest.
On to the Inn, I've stayed here before so knew it was good, booked in and got myself a very refreshing pint of Sixpenny Best bitter from the local Sixpenny Brewery in Sixpenny Handley, at 3.8% it was a good beer for such a warm night. Dinner was a very nice Pan-Seared Scallops, Haddock Bonbon, Cucumber Chutney, Saffron Aioli as a starter and a chicken breast burger and chips for main. Too full for a pud so left it there.
 Slept well then after a decidedly average cooked brekky I was off to do it all again but home at the end of it.
