    Ah, Magna Road, just outside Wimborne. I was sat in that traffic queue about an hour before I took the photo, on the way back from dropping my youngest off at school.

    Now, though, I'm on the of the road enjoying the brand new combined cycle/pedestrian path, the construction of which has been the cause of all the traffic chaos!

    The adventure has begun. I'm trundling along, warming up and looking forward to getting to the island, although it's a fair old way from here.

    Castlepoint

    We spent years and years driving over here, sometimes for shopping, but mostly for the kids having street-dance lessons.

    They've all moved on now, and it's slightly odd being back at Castlepoint.

    This was a surprise - a lovely bit of quiet green space hiding behind the busy road that runs past Bournemouth Hospital towards Christchurch.

    Here's a train. I like trains, so I took a photo of this one as it left Christchurch station, travelling under the bridge that I was standing on.
