Hi. I am from Dorset. I'm lucky enough to live near the beach which my family and I make the most of in all seasons. Oh yes and I have a dog too who also enjoys the beach!

Hi Ruby - there sure are some great beaches in Dorset. I like Bournemouth but also remember going to the Dorset coast with my Mum and Dad when I was younger. We stayed in a caravan park in Mudeford a couple of times and I'll always remember crab fishing in the evenings. Great fun!

Hi Peachy. Welcome to the forum. What type of museums and galleries do you like? My personal favourites are the British Museum and the Tate Modern - I also like the walk from the London Eye up to the Tate Modern.

I like art galleries, traditional rather than modern...oh and ones that are free to get in!!

If you are looking for something more tradititonal my favourite are the Royal Academy of Arts and the National Portrait Gallery, which are both not very far from each other. The National Portrait Gallery does offer a lot more things to see for free. You can also try Tate Britain. I hope this helps

Hi, I'm Dave - pleased to meet you. I was born in Sheffield, as a 'Yorkie', but I've lived longer in Lincolnshire so now I must be a 'Yellow Belly'. Like many 'Yorkies' I thought Lincolnshire to be a flat boring place and only ever visited it to go fishing on the River Witham. Well Dr Beeching ended that with the demise of the Lincoln to Boston line, so it was several years before I ventured here again. I moved here in 1973 to work, but now I'm retired and currently photographing the churches of Lincolnshire. I've added the odd one or two in Geograph and I've also added a few from around the county. Lincolnshire is not a flat boring place, far from it and I've grown to love it and its Parish Churches. Have a browse here: - http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/4330/allMarried with three grown up children and two grandchildren and two cats. The wife's cats cats not mine ...well maybe a little bit mine. Last job was working for Boston College and with the Employment Service on the 'Countryside Job Bus' project. I miss it very much since the service was dropped and it was a blow to the unemployed in Lincolnshire when it no longer ran.

Hi escafeld. Welcome to the forum. I just had a look at your pictures they are great. Lincolnshire certainly looks beautiful. Just had to ask - which little bit of the cat belongs to you?

Thanks Katie1 The answer to your question is ...the meow. Which means more food/more water/I want to go out/I want to come in. ...and I'm the silly beggar that gets up and does it.
