I haven't bought a short sleeved top with me.
Lovely to sit on verandah looking out over the estuary.
This is quite good fun @Cleoriff if the weather is nice :-
Swanage to Bournemouth via Sandbanks - open top Purbeck Breezer 50 from morebus - Scenic Buses

So you go on a bus that goes on the chain ferry from Studland to Sandbanks.
Whatever you decide to do, enjoy it ! 👍

We have struck lucky @Oxonian. Apparently the weather in Poole is expected to be warm and sunny until we leave on Friday. We have various plans so not sure yours will be included. A rest was on the cards really.
This morning its sunny and 14c.
The sun reaches the front of our verandah from 12md and until it sets, it's still on the verandah. Quite lovely.

Splendid @Cleoriff ; the other thing that is worth considering is the Swanage railway :-

It was still 22c here at 8.30pm
I had hoped for an Indian Summer this week and knowing my luck didn't expect it at all.
As we don't go on long holidays for various reasons, I spent more than normal on these 4 days.
We both love Poole, the harbour and superb yachts, so the caravan is top of the range, based in a park which overlooks the sea and Rockley Estuary.
It's lovely to get up in the morning and drink my first cuppa on the wraparound verandah. Its on a hill with pine trees leading down to the water. If I had the money, I'd buy it.
We have been to Poole and Bournemouth many times when the boys were younger.
It's changed a lot but still well worth a visit.
@Oxonian thanks for your suggestions but there's not enough time to see everything we want.
TBH, with this weather, I'd be quite happy to sit on the verandah and watch the folk on the sea on mini yachts, paddle boards and windsurf boards. Just lovely.
