We have been holidaying in Dorsetshire - myself, Mrs Rine, Little Pand, Oz & Lily.
Yesterday we went to Durdle Door (named after a Northern Sit-com by Craig Cash) and found a beach secure enough to let the Lilster off her lead. She was very pleased to have a proper run for a change, although Oz got more than he bargained for.
Later when we were walking along the front we noticed this naughty dog eating fish and chips in a window:
It turned out to be a "trompe d'oeil" by the very talented Nina Camplin who had these spectacular images on nearby walls:
It's remarkable how realistic an inaminate piece of art can appear, as Lily found out further along the prom:
And I keep coming across references to one of East angular's leading artists:

If my mum hadn't been homesick I would have had a Dorset accent.
Is Nina Dorset's answer to Banksy?
Love the artwork. Glad you had an enjoyable time. We were rained on in Derbyshire - maybe we should have swapped?
Hope you enjoyed the lashings of ginger beer.
Odd that the west of the country should be impressed by The East.
Geoff: You could have been the Dorset Banksy! Sounds more reliable than Northern Rock.
MDF: Now ive put your initials down I can't stop thinking of Handy Bloody Andy!
Z : Only after we had fooled the smugglers to go into the cave and called a constable.
Dave: Nope... You've got me there....
Good stuff. In your last photo I'd have turned to face the camera if you'd asked me. I didn't know you went on Saga outings, too.
I certainly hope you didn't ruin the day with a Coors lager.
Oh happy dog photos.. I just love seeing happy dog photos
Shame Poundbury didn't have a Poundsavers though.
Christopher: I wondered if that was you facing East.
Rosie: Coors I didn't!
Macy: There's 2 very happy dogs here this week! Although they weren't so keen about being dragged round Poundland to see the architecture.
