Brewers' Quay

This is the entrance to Brewers' Quay (say: "kee"), an area of Weymouth that was once home to a brewery. The tall, red brick buildings are still there, but they have been transformed into tea rooms, shops, pubs, and condos. It is here that we hope to reserve a furnished apartment as soon as the busy summer season is over. It will be just steps from this very pretty harbor and an easy walk to almost everything else in the city. While in town today, I picked up a bus schedule that covers all of Weymouth and also got a Senior Rail Pass, so I am ready to roll! My first excursion will be tomorrow when I travel to Banbury to spend the day with Bev. Then, on Friday, Dwight and I take the train to London, where he has a business meeting scheduled. His contact there was able to book us into the Royal Air Force's Officers' Club for two nights. It's located in the heart of the city, so we'll have a couple of days to poke around London before heading back to Portland on Sunday afternoon. Not a bad way to spend our first full weekend in England!

  1. Awesome pictures, Mary and Dwight! It looks like quintessential England. I love the fleece jacket in the photo dated July 11! You definitely won't see one of those around here for a while! Have a great time.
