Up Down Pods on Chesil

Having been away for the weekend to Dorset near Chesil Beach, I wondered why downs are not called ups, as they're hilly uplands. 

Also, what's the opposite of a Yorkshire dale? In another area it would be called a down, despite being up.

We spotted this dinky little caravan pod on the campsite we stayed at.



I think it was an advert for the manufacturer, as no-one inhabited it from Friday to Sunday.

Some photos from our excursion to Chesil Beach and the Fleet (click to enlarge):












Hay thinks this photo she took of me in St Catherine's Chapel on Chapel Hill, Abbotsbury, should be the album cover for my forthcoming Best Of LP.


Why anyone would want to build a chapel on top of a hill that knackers you to climb is beyond me. The congregation would have spent most of the sermon recovering their breath. Perhaps it was a place of pilgrimage, which requires some effort on the part of the pilgrim.

It's so the church can dupe you in to feeling that the easier journey down is something to do with a bloke in a frock preaching at you!
