November 10th we went on a Turkey and Tinsel break to Weymouth with Daish Travel. They offered us a last minute 5 day break for £89 each, much too good to refuse.
The itinerary was Friday when you arrive is Christmas eve, the Saturday is Christmas day and the evening meal has all the Christmas trimmings including a visit from Father Christmas. The next day is Boxing Day and the final evening New Years Eve.
Remembrance Sunday was an extra treat as the hotel we stayed in was opposite the war memorial and all the dignitaries met in our hotel.. what a wonderful sight seeing young and old Army, Airforce and mainly Navy parading.
On route, well not actually but Chris was kind enough to drive 50 miles out of the route, for me to make a visit to the Temple, it is such a special place and the peace was just what I needed.

| Surely this cannot be our room... a 6ft bed and two single beds [one in the annex] ! Room to hold a party. |
 |
| Saturday we visited a Christmas Fayre in Bournemouth |
 |
| Loved this stall |
 |
| An evening stroll along the coastal path. The Anzak memorial opposite our hotel |
 |
| So moving with the hats. |
 |
| Remembrance Service |
 |
| Salvation Army band just outside our hotel |
 |
| The younger generation remembering |
 |
| Behind the crowds a canon was fired at 11am and the lifeboat and a tall ship sailed into view. |
 |
| The proud Service men and women |
 |
| A Salvation man played the last post |
 |
| Back in the hotel after the service |
 |
| We will remember |
 |
| Monday was Sunny so we took a walk to look at the poppies |
 |
| The tall ship was still in view |
 |
| The American memorial |
 |
| A chilly selfie at the end of a wonderful 5 days. |
