on the first day of our holiday, which was in dorset, a few hours drive from our home, we bumped in to work colleague Mark and his family.

and the next day we were in a traffic queue on a thin road and looked at the car next to us, only to discover my cousing chris and his family were in it. they too were on holiday so we met up with them a few days later.

and then the next day, at slime regis beach, we made our pitch (blanket down, buckets out etc) and esther spotted sue and steve and their children sitting next to us !

so that was three totally unrelated friends/family on three consecutive days, all a long way from home !
